Last summer, I joined in a summer program in my university. I travelled to Oxford, England to take a Shakespeare course at Oxford University.
Oxford is a small town with beautiful old buildings. It was such an amazing experience for me to meet a new culture and I often found myself falling into deep thinking about everything new around me.
Even though I was abroad, I wasn’t on vacation. There was a lot of work to do: reading, writing and exams. But studying abroad allowed me to experience a new way of learning. I got to see plays at Shakespeare’s Globe in London and the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. I love reading Shakespeare, and seeing his works in action was great for my learning because it helped me understand the great works better.
The summer program was, of course, mainly about study. However, there was time for fun. We had classes every morning from Monday to Thursday, so we could be free in the rest of time. Although we had so much studying, some people including me took trips to different countries around Europe because travelling is much cheaper there.
It took me almost a school year to fill out applications and prepare myself for going abroad. I have never travelled internationally before I got this great chance. I also made some new friendships and it will last a lifetime. The experience has been my best part of summer so far!
58. Why did the writer go to England last summer?
A.To travel in London. B. To visit his or her relatives.
C. To join a summer program. D. To buy a new house for his or her parents.
59. How long did the writer have classes in a week?
A. Four weekends. B. Four mornings.
C. Four afternoons. D. All weekdays.
60. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Reading some great works. B. Studying in Oxford University.
C. Travelling to different countries. D. Making some new friendships.
61. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The long history of Oxford University.
B. The ways to prepare for studying abroad.
C. The writer’s study life in Oxford University.
D. How to make friends in England.
C
Different people have different hobbies. For example, some people like reading, some people like swimming and some people like collecting something. I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and traveling. I used to read books in my free time. I liked reading because I could learn much by reading. Reading was a part of my life. At that time, I spent most of my free time reading books, newspapers and magazines. At night, I could hardly get to sleep without a novel in my hand.
But later I found I could only learn from books by reading. I couldn’t get knowledge from others. So I changed. Traveling is my hobby now. I can visit many different places by traveling. I can learn a lot about people, geography and history. It's very interesting.
I have many good friends. They all have their hobbies. Ann studies very hard , so her hobby is reading all kinds of books. Tony loves working with his hands, and his hobby is gardening. He usually plants flowers and trees in his yard. Judy is a quiet girl. She has a pair of skillful hands and she likes knitting. She always uses her old sweaters to knit clothes for her dolls. We have different hobbies, but we are all good friends.
62. Which is not the writer’s hobby according to the passage?
A. Reading. B. Swimming. C. Skating. D. Traveling.
63. What does the underlined word “knitting” mean in Chinese?
A. 购买 B. 画画 C. 编织 D. 清洗
64. What does the underlined word “changed” refer to?
A. From reading to traveling. B. From traveling to reading.
C. From reading to skating. D. From writing to skating.
65. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Ways of traveling. B. How to Make Friends.
C. Reading Is Important. D. Different People Have Different Hobbies.

Have you gotten vaccinated (接种疫苗) ? You might hear this question a lot when you go back to school. A COVID-19 vaccination drive（行动） for kids aged 12-17 is under way across China.
“The incidence rate（发病率）among teenagers was not high when COVID-19 began last year. But more data（数据）shows that they can still get COVID-19 and even die from it,” said Sun Xiaodong, the deputy director（副主任）of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention(疾控预防中心）.
To keep people safe from COVID-19, children and teenagers must get vaccinated to reach herd immunity（群体免疫）. “If we only vaccinate adults, it is hard to reach the 80% goal（目标）,” Sun added.
In Beijing, some places started to vaccinate high school students on July 20 and middle schoolers in early August, Xinhua reported. As of August 17th, Beijing had given out 38.09 million doses（百万剂）of COVID-19 vaccines and 571,300 were given to people aged 12-17, according to the city’s health department.
Some parents are worried about the safety of vaccination. Shao Yiming, a scientist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said most teenagers will get either the Sinopharm or Sinovac Biotech vaccine（国药集团或科兴生物技术疫苗）. Both are safe for people aged 3 to 17, Shao said.
66. What can we know from Sun’s words?
A. 80 percent of adults in China are vaccinated.
B. More teenagers need to get vaccinated.
C. Teenagers have gotten more vaccinations than other groups.
D. No teenagers have died from COVID 19.
67. By August 17th, how many teenagers had gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 in Beijing?
A. 38.09 million. B. 571,300 C. 13 percent. D. 80 percent.
68. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Parents should care more about the safety of vaccines.
B. Researchers are developing a new vaccine for teenagers
C. Teenagers will get both the Sinopharm and Sinovac Biotech vaccines.
D. There are safe vaccines for teenagers aged 12-17.
69. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to keep teenagers safe? B. Rising COVID-19 infections.
C. What COVI D 19 does to teenagers? D. Vaccinations for teenagers.
B) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卷上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。（每小题2分）
We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. 70. ____________ But we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears.
Ears help us hear the world. But many things, such as loud noises, can cause hearing loss(听力丧失). Once this happens, it’s hard to get your hearing back. So how can we protect our ears? Let’s take a look together.
71.___________
Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake (摇晃) your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear.
Also, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen (防晒霜) on your ears. During the winter, protect your ears with a hat or a scarf.
72. ____________
Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax(耳屎) builds up dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt (污垢).
Don't clean your ears with anything sharp(尖锐的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.
73.____________
Don't listen to loud music on your headphones (耳机) for a long time. Follow the 60:60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of your headphones’ maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day. 74.____________ They do a better job of stopping outside noise so you can listen at a lower volume.
A. How to dry your ears.
B. Keep your ears clean.
C. Keep your ears dry and warm.
D. Use the headphones in the right way.
E. We do lots of things to protect our eyes.
F. There are a lot of things for us to do to protect our ears.

C) 请阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答下列问题。（每小题2分）
British people don't like to say “no”, because they think it is rude. But this can be a problem for people from other countries. When you learn English, you learn to say things like “Yes, please.” and “No, thank you.” when somebody asks you if you want something. But real life is not always so easy.
When you give something to British people, they often say, “I’m all right, thanks.” When they say this, they mean that they already have everything they need, so it is a way to say no. Unluckily, saying “all right” is also a way to say yes. The same phrase (短语) can be used in different ways to mean both yes and no!
Manjit works in a tourist shop. “British people are difficult customers(顾客),” he said. “If you give something to them, they say, ‘Maybe later even when they plan never to buy it.”
Saying yes is not much better, said Manjit. “When they want to buy something, they sometimes don’t say yes. They say, ‘Sure!’ or ‘Why not?’ It's so confusing(令人困惑的)!”
75. Do British people like to say “no”? Why or why not?
___________________________________________________________________
76. What do British people usually say when they don’t want something?
___________________________________________________________________
77. What might a British man mean by saying “Maybe later” to a seller?
___________________________________________________________________

One Possible Version:
Dear John，
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down because of your failure in this talent show. I'd like to tell you my advice.
Yes, talent shows may change teenagers’ future. They give us the chances to show our talents，and give us a way to make our dreams come true. But there is no need to take the result too seriously. It may not be good for teenagers to become famous too early. So don't care more about talent shows, just enjoy the process.
In addition, there are many ways to success. For example, you can go to college to study music. You can also join a music club and show your talents. As a teenager, you should spend more time studying and developing your interests at the same time. If you are really in a bad mood, I think you can try to talk with your parents, your teachers or your classmates. Maybe they will help you.
I hope you will get better soon. Please write to me soon.
Best wishes, Li Ming
