Together with her husband site runs Humble by Nature, a rural skills education centre on working  farm near Monmouth in the Wye Valley.              Winnie the Pooh by A A MilneMy father used to read this to me when I was very young -- he used different voices for all the animals. The characterization （角色设定）was so clever; we all know someone just like each inhabitant of the Hundred Acre Wood: gloomy Eeyore; thick but loyal Pooh; enthusiastic Tigger.A A Milne was masterful in exploring the way they got along together, opening my eyes to how society really works.Last Chance to Seeby Douglas Adams and Mark CarwardineThis book tells of the authors, adventures as they set out to find the rarest of animals, those on the edge of extinction.Their travels are rather exciting and they share a wonderful humour, which really appealed to me. Yet underpinning（支撑）everything is the realization that we can't just sit back and allow species to disappear.              Picture Palace by Paul Theroux I've always loved Theroux's travel writing, but this novel took my breath away. The words aren't long or complicated but, from that first paragraph, his writing grabs you by the nose hairs and drags you along.              I had an art teacher who told me, "You're only an artist when you've found your own style, not when you're copying someone else, and Theroux represents this.21. Why did the author mention the characterization of Winnie the Pooh?A. To indicate the book has realistic values.B. To show how adorable the characters are.C. To persuade people to learn from the characters.D. To prove the writer is good at creating characters.22. What did Last Chance to See strike into Kate's heart?A. Curiosity. B. Responsibility. C. Exploration. D. Devotion.23. Which writer does Kate Humble like for his original writing?A. A A Milne. B. Douglas Adams. C. Mark Carwardine, D. Paul Theroux.BOn March 18, 34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere to swim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray（黄貂鱼） leap from the water.Realizing the creature was, in fact, an octopus（章鱼）,he started filming it-just in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him. He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back. His goggles（护目镜）fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he struggled back toward the shore.              "I was confused — it was more of a shock than a fright," said Karlson, "I might have hit on its home.“    ，Within a minute, a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle（触手）appeared on Karlson's neck and back. A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotel room to find something acidic to put on the wound. All his family could grab was Coca-Cola, which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared.“The pain went away and more than anything since then, it's been more the physical hit that was painful.... The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit, and I guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took, "  he said. Karlson said he'd never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary “My Octopus Teacher" after the incident to learn more about the species.“They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more interest in octopuses as opposed to fear of them. I think this is a fascinating creature with clearly some. very strong emotions just like we do as humans,"  he added.24. When did the octopus attack Karlson?A. When he was swimming in the bay.B. When he was shooting the octopus.C. When he was looking for some fish. D. When he was fighting against the octopus.25. What plays an essential role in reducing Karlson's pain?A. The lifeguard's timely help.B. Karson's wife's quick action.C. The family members' efforts.D. Karlson’s knowledge of first aid.26. What does Karlson learn from his experience?A. The octopus is dangerous.B. People should get away from the octopus. C. People need know more about the octopus.D. The physical hit from the octopus is painful.27. Which of the following might be the best title?  A. Pain from Strong AttackB. First Aid for Octopus' Strike .C. Face to Face with Angry OctopusD. Under Sea with Dangerous CreatureCThe annual 3-to-4-millimeter rise in sea levels is expected to impact many coastal communities in the coming decades. However, few are as defenceless as the Republic of the Maldives, a collection of more than a thousand picturesque islands in the Indian Ocean. NASA researchers believe that parts of what is “arguably the lowest-lying country in the world” will become uninhabitable by 2050, due to wave-driven flooding and limited freshwater. To fight the unavoidable, the government recently revealed plans for the world's first 'true' floating island city.              The aptly-named Maldives Floating City (MFC) is the brainchild of Dutch Docklands, a global leader in floating infrastructure ( 基建）. According to the March 13, 2021, announcement,the new city will be constructed on a 200-hectare lagoon (环礁湖)located just 10 minutes by boat from the Maldivian capital, Male. It will initially consist of a thousand waterfront residences, arranged in a series of honeycomb-like maze rows. The developers plan to add hotels, restaurants, shops, and even a school and a hospital in the near future. The floating structures .  will be attached to the surrounding islands, which will form a base and provide protection from high tides.              Maldive  officials aim to make MFC as self-sufficient as possible. Freshwater storage will provide drinking water for residents, while floating solar blankets and agriculture fields will take care of their energy and food needs.              “This Maldives Floating City does not require any land rehabilitation, therefore has a minimal impact on the coral reefs,” explains Mohamed Nasheed, Speaker of Parliament. “What's more, giant, new reefs will be grown to act as water breakers. In the Maldives, we cannot stop the waves, but we can rise with them.”              Construction of the revolutionary city is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in phases over the next five years. If successful, it will provide a blueprint for other countries facing a similar situation.28. Why does Maldives decide to build MFC? A. It is the lowest-lying country. B. It will be flooded soon.C. It is running out of fresh water. D. It will be unsuitable for living.29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The prospect of MFC.B. The developers of the plan.C. The location of the residences.D. The barriers to the construction.30. What can we infer from the underlined words?A. MFC will keep waves away.B. MFC will make use of waves.C. MFC will adjust to the waves.D. MFC will work as water breakers.31. What's the writing purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a construction program.B. To appeal to people to protect nature.C. To seek international help for Maldives.D. To report the achievement of a city plan,DI’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it as a coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic（疫情）of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary （定居的）.Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic （游牧的）hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it's Zanzibar and maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.32. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is .A. desperate B. humorous C. bored D. worried33. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B. To make a wish.C. To take adventures.D. To broaden horizons.34. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By showing evidences.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By interpreting opinions.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to go for a trip.B. Why people need to travel.C. How to fight the pandemic.D. What people should do at home.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Remember the days when ordering delivery food consisted only of pizza and burgers?

He was a very happy cobbler, singing all day long and keeping time with his hammer or his needle. Up one stair, there lived a very rich man, so rich that he could not sleep at night for trying to count his money, and keep it safe.So this rich man lay awake all night and always fell asleep in the morning. But no sooner had he fallen asleep than he was awakened again. It was not his money that wakened him this time; it was the cobbler, who was sitting at his door sewing away, and singing as happily as a bird.              The rich man went to a friend and said, "I can't sleep at night for thinking of my money, and I can't sleep in the morning for listening to that cobbler's singing. What am I to do?” This friend was a wise man, and gave him a plan. The next evening, while the cobbler was singing away as usual, the rich man came down with a bag filled with something that jingled （叮当作 响）.“Here, cobbler," said the rich man, “I have brought you a present of a hundred crowns（克 朗，旧时货币名称）,because you're always so happy.”The cobbler was surprised though, he took the money and thanked the rich man. He had never seen so much money in his life before, but somehow he felt worried if the crowns might be stolen by someone. So he went into the darkest part of his house to count the crowns, and hid the bag in the bottom of the bed. Two or three times every hour he went in to see whether the bag was all right, for he was afraid of somebody taking his money. When his wife asked him what was the matter with him, he became angry and shouted at her, a thing he had never done before.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
