A
Let’s play games from different countries and learn about different cultures.
Otedama (Japan)
It is played alone with five small sandbags. The player kneels down behind the sandbags, throws one in the air, then uses the same hand to quickly pick up another bag and catch the first. Keep going until you’re holding all five. Too easy? Throw up all the bags and catch them on the back of your hand.
Fengzheng (China)
Fengzhengs or kites are believed to have been invented in China during the fifth century BC by Mozi and Lu Ban. By the fifth century AD, paper kites were being used for military purposes such as signaling and measuring distances. These days, locals commonly fly handmade kites to mark the arrival of spring. In Beijing, the kite string is traditionally cut to allow bad luck to be blown away by the wind.
Topfschlagen (Germany)
Germany is the world’s top exporter of chocolate, so no wonder this game is based on the sweet reward. Put some chocolate under an overturned cooking pot. Kids take turns crawling on the ground blindfolded and lightly strike whatever’s in their path with a wooden spoon. When the spoon hits the pot, the chocolate hunter gathers up the treasure.
EI Gatoy El Raton (Costa Rica)
It is a favorite group circle game for kids. One plays el gato (the cat); another is el raton (the mouse). The rest hold hands, forming a circle around the mouse. As the group skips and sings “the cat wants to get the mouse”, the cat runs outside the circle trying to touch the mouse. The players forming the circle raise and lower their arms to block the cat, and the mouse runs around to avoid being touched. When the cat “gets” the mouse, start over with a new cat and mouse.
1. Which game was once used for wars?
A. Otedama. B. Fengzheng. C. Topfschlagen. D. EI Gatoy El Raton.
2. What is the reward for the Topfschlagen players?
A. Kites. B. Beans. C. Meat. D. Chocolate.
3. What is special about El Gatoy El Raton?
A. It requires at least four players in each round.
B. It is related with a country’s top exported goods.
C. It must be played by children and adults together.
D. It started in the East and spread all around the world.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Topfschlagen (Germany)一节中“Germany is the world’s top exporter of chocolate, so no wonder this game is based on the sweet reward.(德国是世界上最大的巧克力出口国，难怪这个游戏是基于甜蜜的奖励。)”可知Topfschlagen选手的奖励是巧克力。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。对比其他三个游戏, 尤其根据 EI Gatoy EI Raton(Costa Rica)一节中“It is a favorite group circle game for kids.(这是孩子们最喜欢的一种小组游戏。)”及其细节可推断, “猫捉老鼠游戏”必须要有四个及以上的人一起玩。故选A。
B
Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.
“Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops, is not the only answer,” says art director Francesca Price. “We want these images to empower people to support their local food system.”
By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties, small farms support biodiversity and increase food security. With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks. However, traditional farming communities are working to preserve their ancient seed diversity.
Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change. In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease.
Contrary to the false impression held by the public small farms that practise traditional agriculture can be highly productive. Studies show that the output of crops rises when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm, and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced.
“The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.”
4. What is the purpose of the photo exhibition?
A. To help small farmers to sell their produce.
B. To show the challenges faced by small farmers.
C. To draw attention to small farmers’ contribution.
D. To help farmers to fight against industrial agriculture.
5. What can we say about the industrial agriculture?
A. It produces more food than small farms in total.
B. It harms biodiversity and decreases food security.
C. It has been competing unfairly with small farms.
D. It is the only way to feed the world’s population.
6. Why is it important to preserve the traditional and non-commercial crops?
A. Their genes are much better.
B. Their output is much higher.
C. They may help improve the other crops.
D. They don’t need chemical fertilizers at all.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of traditional small farms.
B. The problems with the industrial agriculture.
C. The consequences of fast-growing population.
D. The impact of climate change on agriculture.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.”（但是，大约25英亩或更少的小型农场生产世界70%以上的粮食。为了提高人们对这些农民贡献的认识，一个名为“我们养活世界”的全球图片展将于10月12日在伦敦开幕）可知，图片展的目的是为了提高人们对从事小型农业农民贡献的认识。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops,”（工业化农业主要集中在几种作物上）和第三段“With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks.”（只有12种植物和5种动物占世界食物的75%，食物系统很容易受到自然灾害和疾病爆发的伤害）可知，注重规模而忽视多样性的工业化农业很可能会损害生物多样性及危害粮食安全。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease.”（在未来，研究人员可能需要从一个品种中获得特定的基因，以帮助另一个品种适应更温暖、更暴风雨或更干燥的天气，或拯救一个珍贵的品种免于疾病）可知，保护传统作物和非商业作物可以帮助改善其它农作物。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food.

C
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we dreamt of indoor dining, vacations, and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living in Brazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms (规范).
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for our communities and the people we love.
8. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?
A. Adjustment. B. Disturbance.
C. Commitment. D. Preference.
9. What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2?
A. She is good at educating other people.
B. She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
C. She enjoys the close contact with others.
D. It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
10. Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms?
A. Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B. Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C. Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D. Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My Attitude towards Friendship
B. Social and Cultural norms in the Pandemic
C. The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D. My Acceptance of Cultural Differences
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名美国人，在与巴西友人安娜的相处中，她了解到虽然疫情在一定程度上影响了巴西人的生活，但是根植的传统文化是不会轻易改变的，得益于与安娜多年的友谊，作者学会了求同存异，最后欣然接受了文化差异。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms(规范).(在这里我就不细说了，但考虑到巴西的社会和文化规范，这种对生活的disruption尤其令人不安)”中“have been especially upsetting(尤其令人不安)”可推知，划线词是指对生活造成打扰或破坏 ，所以尤其令人不安。结合选项，划线词与disturbance意思相近，意为“扰乱，干扰”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance.(她对亲密无间感到很自在；我宁愿保持距离)”可知，即便有新冠疫情的影响，安娜仍喜欢与人亲近。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.(我问，大流行期间的转变是否会改变文化规范。“绝对不行，”安娜说。这就是巴西人的本性，改变不会在一夜之间发生。他们花大量的时间和精力在人际关系上，根深蒂固的社会习俗不会很快改变)”可推知，安娜认为大流行不会改变社会和文化规范，是因为巴西人天生善于交际，在人际关系上投入了大量的时间和精力，根深蒂固的社会习俗不会很快改变。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合文章最后一段中“I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable.(我喜欢我们的不同，即使亲吻脸颊让我不舒服)”可推知，作者在巴西友人的影响下，改变了对文化差异的看法，最后作者学会了求同存异，欣然接受了文化差异，故D选项“My Acceptance of Cultural Differences(我对文化差异的接受)”可作为文章最佳标题。故选D。
D
As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.
Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that drones were increasingly able to fly in greater density and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, “They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.”
Robert Neff, the general manager at Mercia Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals — from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. “They’ve often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks,” he said.
But not everyone agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” he said. “The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.”
And there are issues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesn’t mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of image.
12. Why does the writer talk about the Tokyo Olympics in Para 1?
A. To attract readers’ attention to the Olympics.
B. To advocate setting off fireworks in the new year.
C. To introduce the popular use of drones for light shows.
D. To highlight people’s celebration of this opening ceremony.
13. What did Ollie Howitt think of drone displays?
A. They bring environmental problems.
B. They cause little suffering to the pets.
C. They add color to the new year celebration.
D. They are economical and environmentally-friendly.
14. Which of the following did Hans Rosling agree with?
A. Firework displays last shorter than drone displays.
B. The pollution from fireworks isn’t as much as people think.
C. Drones have less impact on the environment than fireworks.
D. People should abandon the drone displays because of lithium batteries.
15 What are people’s attitudes towards drone light displays?
A. Controversial. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Neutral.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演秀的优点及可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演秀的不同态度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.(但随着无人机在灯光表演中使用越来越多，烟花可能最终失去吸引力。一个显著的例子就是东京奥运会开幕式上的无人机灯光表演)”可知，作者提及东京奥运会是为了举例说明无人机在灯光表演中的广泛应用。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt认为无人机表演秀不释放污染物、没有放射性尘埃，还可重复利用，即它们既环保又经济实惠。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后Hans Rosling所说的话“The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.(使用烟花对环境的影响十分微小且非常短暂，最近的研究表明，几辆汽车开到活动现场可能比活动燃放烟花造成的污染都多)”可知，Hans Rosling认为燃放烟花的污染并不像人们想象的那么严重。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt对于无人机表演秀是支持的；根据第四段第一句“But not everyone agrees.(但并非所有人都这么认为)”及Hans Rosling所说的话“Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’(有人认为，无人机对环境的影响较小，但我们对电力需求和锂电池的使用感到担忧，众所周知，锂电池并不完全是“绿色”的)”可知，Hans Rosling对于无人机的使用是持怀疑态度的。因而可知，人们对于无人机表演秀的使用有不同看法，存在争议的。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.___16___Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking. ” ___17___ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.___18___
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.___19___And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
___20___It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

【18题详解】

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s weathered (风化的) door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should be kept for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked into the sunlight. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought his mom would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea—he could raise money by selling used nail bags. He ran towards the sound and stopped at a construction site. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin (汽水罐).
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the time came!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered on the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save money, he even decided to deliver papers in the next morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still stuck to the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.
Finally, the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed to the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door and placed it in Dora’s hand. Never had Dora received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly in her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes.
