Sometimes our phone calls would begin and end with an only inquiry (询问) about the oil, without asking anything else. Fathers have lots of love to give, but it's often provided through useful advice. In my experience, it’s mostly about the car.Why can't fathers just say “I love you” or “It's great to see you”? Why can't the sentences “I care about you” and“ You made my life better from the moment you were born” be heard? Because fathers tend to express their true feelings indirectly. You just have to understand the language-Fatherlish.When I was 17 years old, I went on my first road trip in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold early morning to say goodbye. “ Roads are dangerous,” he said, so don't try driving faster than a horse. And remember to take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for oil, you really should check the oil.” At the time I thought his speech was pretty funny and old.Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that if I had owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I would have understood that the speech that I always laughed at was simply Dad’s way to express love and care.24. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. The author wanted to buy a new car badly.  B. The author forgot to check the oil regularly.C. The author 's father expressed his love differently.D. The author 's father preferred to make phone calls.25. Why does the author mention his first road trip?A. To show the danger of the trip.   B. To tell a very exciting experience.C. To explain the rules of driving.  D. To present his father’s hidden love.26. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?A. Humorous.       B. Caring.        C. Funny.       D. Boring.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Fatherlish language      B. The habit of driving an old carC. Father's helpful advice   D. Annoying phone callsCBy the year 2050, a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities, according to new research. A team of scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerland produced the report, which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future.The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities.In China in 2050, the climate of Xi’an, in Shanxi province, will be similar to that of current day Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa, with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59℃. Chongqing in southwest China will resemble the climate of Swaziland capital Mbabane, as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃.Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃. London’s climate will be more similar lo Barcelona, and Madrid’s to Marrakech. The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate effects due to the threat of climate change. The report also found that cities in tropical regions will experience smaller changes in average temperature but will be controlled by shifts in rainfall regimes. This may lead to a noticeable increase in unexpected events, and severe droughts.“Across all scientific fields, the greatest challenge in climate science is no longer the precise measurement of climate change impacts, but inspiring people to picture is actual effects in order to motivate action,” said Tom Crowther, senior scientist and founder of the Crowther Lab.28．According to the research, among the 520 cities by 2050, about ________ cities will experience the climate conditions that no major cities currently have experienced.A. 400 B. 114 C. 260 D. 10429．How did the scientists prove their result?A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons.C. By doing experiments. D. By explaining theory.30．What is the Crowther Lab intended for?A. To compare the climate change of the major cities of the world.B. To inspire people to picture its actual effects in order to motivate action.C. To inspire decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent some climate effects.D. To show most word’s cities will experience a striking change in climate conditions.31．What is the best title of the passage?A. World Temperature B．Current Climate ChangeC. Big Titles in the World D．Future Climate Change in Most Big CitiesDIn order to reduce the risk of suffering from COVID-19, people are supposed to say no to a handshake, give up high fives, refuse kisses on the cheek and absolutely avoid hugging. So people all over the world are changing their daily habits at work and at home to prevent it from spreading.In France, handshaking is regarded as daily greeting habits. And kissing on the cheek is often seen even between people who have only just met. Philippe Lichtfus, a lifestyle expert notes that handshaking is a relatively recent development in human history that began in the Middle Ages. Now, he says simply looking into a person’s eyes can serve as a greeting.The Brazilian health ministry has recommended that citizens should not share the metal straws traditionally used to consume the caffeine-rich drink chimarrão. And a kiss—even if it is not on the mouth—is totally advised against.One of Spain’s most treasured traditions is also affected by the outbreak—the kissing of sculptures of Virgin Mary in the week leading up to Easter. During the holy week, the faithful believers queue up to kiss the hands or feet of sculptures of Mary and the saints, seeking their protection.Germany’s interior minister (内政部长) Horst Seehofer rebuffed Chancellor（总理）Angela Merkel’s attempt to shake hands with him, smiling and keeping both his hands to himself. They both laughed and Merkel threw her hand up in the air before taking a seat.In Iran, a video has gone viral (走红) showing three friends meeting, hands in their pockets, two of whom are wearing masks, tapping their feet against each other as a greeting. A similar video in Lebanon shows singer Ragheb Alama and comedian Michel Abou Sleiman tapping their feet against each other while making kissing noises with their mouths.The UAE (阿拉伯联合酋长国) is advising citizens to stop the traditional “nose to nose” greeting. The UAE also said that people shouldn’t shake hands anymore or kiss. Greet each other “by waving only”.32．What can we learn from Philippe Lichtfus?A．Handshaking has a long history.B．People can continue to kiss on the cheek.C．It is recommended that people look into other’s eyes as a greeting.D．It is unusual for two people who have just met to kiss on the cheeks.33．What does the underlined word “rebuffed” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Appreciated.      B．Refused.    C．Accepted.    D．Welcomed.34．What can be inferred from the text?A．Several traditional greeting habits are advised against in the UAE.B．People who believe in Virgin Mary must be disappointed to cancel the ceremony.C．Brazilians are crazy about consuming the caffeine-rich drink chimarrão.D．Tapping feet against each other has already become a daily greeting in Iran.35．What does the text mainly tell us?A．Some old greeting styles are out of date.B．Some new greeting styles become popular.C．Different countries have different greeting styles.D．People change their greeting styles to protect themselves.第二节 （共    5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There’s no doubt that when it comes to friendship，you want positive people in your life and not negative ones.   36   Support when you need it.With positive friends，you don’t need to beg for help when you need it because chances are they will be there for you without asking.    37    Health benefits of being positive.The more positive friends you have, the better you will be at remaining optimistic yourself.   38    For example, it helps people to deal with stress and illness better.Health benefits may include lower rates of depression, a greater ability to throw off colds，and a reduced risk of developing disease.Bring out the best in you.    39   This means trying new things, achieving goals, and having the kind of life you dreamed of for yourself.With positive people in your life, you’ll feel more comfortable sharing your goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life.    40          You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re negative, you’ll probably find that negative people flock to you. That’s why you’d better surround yourself with positive friends.The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return.A. Here are some benefits of spending time with positive friends.B. The same is true for being positive.C. In most cases，they will support you when you’re in trouble.D. Attract More Positive Friends.E.

I believe in all the elements from which love is made. And I believe in their combined power. Four years ago, when we decided to adopt Luke, the people from the orphanage(孤儿院) dropped him off and turned to leave. “What are his favorite things?” I yelled. “Noodles,” they replied without even saying goodbye. The boy was nearly six years old, only 28 pounds and his face was crisscrossed with scars. Clearly, he was terrified. Luke kicked(踢) and screamed. I stood between him and the door to keep him from leaving. His cries were painful, animal - like. He had never seen a mirror and tried to escape by running through one. I wound my arms around him so he could not hit or kick. After an hour and a half, he finally fell asleep, exhausted. I called room service. They delivered every noodle dish on the menu. Luke woke up, looked at me and started sobbing(啜泣) again. I handed him chopsticks and pointed at the food. He stopped crying and started to eat. He ate until I was sure he would be sick.That night we went for a walk. Delighted at the moon, he signed, “What is it?” I said, “The moon. It's the moon.” He reached up and tried to touch it. He cried again when I tried to give him a bath until he started to play with the water. After the bath, I powdered him and clothed him in soft pajamas(睡衣). Luke was a sad and shy boy for a long time. He always attempted to mask something by keeping his head down and not speaking unless spoken to.“What should I do?” I repeated to myself until Luke noticed a photo on the wall, in which I was standing out of the orphanage. 注意：续写词数应为150左右；请按如下格式作答。“Who is she?” Luke asked.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Now, every little change Luke made has produced a combined power.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
