I never thought that one day I would proudly show off my nose on a canvas on my living room wall. As a teenager, I couldn’t stand seeing a photo of my nose in profile. I hated how big it was and, if people praised me for my looks, I always felt it was in spite of the most noticeable feature on my face.
I was about to accept that I would never fully see my nose as beautiful when I met Nicholas Baldion, an artist, in a London pub, and asked him to paint my portrait. I regretted this the second I arrived for my sitting. I had forgotten that Baldion would have to spend hours staring at my biggest insecurity, and then painstakingly translating it onto canvas.
The first sitting was hard. I could not shake the feeling of wanting to turn my head to face the front. I hated the fact that Baldion was openly and carefully examining the one feature I had spent years trying to hide. Yet, as the two-and-a-half-hour sitting went on, I calmed down and began to accept my feelings. I had put myself in this situation, so now I just needed to sit in it. By the second sitting, I was almost excited-not just by the thought of having an afternoon when I had an excuse to do absolutely nothing, but because it had finally sunk in that I was having my portrait done.
Baldion told me what he was thinking when he looked at my nose. To an artist, beauty doesn’t necessarily reside in a living Barbie doll; it lives in wrinkles, sears, and character. “I always enjoy painting distinctive features,” he said. “Beauty is everywhere.”
I was nervous to see the finished portrait. What if it was further proof that my nose was unattractive? But when I looked at the picture of a gently smiling woman, confident in her own skin, I couldn’t help but smile back. She looked like me, yes, but she also looked quite attractive. Her nose was powerful, strong, and almost beautiful.
The process has shifted my perspective and I have learned to make up my own mind about what beauty means, whether it is a smiling, strong woman in an oil portrait, or a real-life reflection-complete with a big nose-looking back at me in the mirror.
4. Why did the author regret having asked the artist to paint her portrait?
A Because she had to pay for the painting.
B. Because she did not feel safe with the artist.
C. Because she wasn’t confident about her big nose.
D. Because she had to sit for hours for the painting.
5. Which of the following is NOT what the artist thinks of beauty?
A. Beauty exists in wrinkles.
B. Beauty is everywhere.
C. Beauty is features with characteristics.
D. Beauty only lies in a living Barbie doll.
6. What changed the author’s perspective on beauty?
A. A portrait of an artist.
B. Having learned art.
C. The artist having painted her more beautiful.
D The experience of being painted by an artist.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Is Beauty
B. My Portrait
C. My Large Nose
D. An Artist and Me
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文用拟人的修辞手法进行陈述，主要讲述了作者起初因为自己的大鼻子而不自信，通过一次绘画经历，最后改变了自己的观点，认为是不一样的美。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I regretted this the second I arrived for my sitting. I had forgotten that Baldion would have to spend hours staring at my biggest insecurity, and then painstakingly translating it onto canvas.”（我一到座位就后悔了。我忘了，鲍迪昂必须花几个小时盯着我最大的不安全感，然后费力地把它表现在画布上）推知，作者后悔请画家画她的肖像是因为她对自己的大鼻子不自信。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“To an artist, beauty doesn’t necessarily reside in a living Barbie doll; it lives in wrinkles, sears, and character. “I always enjoy painting distinctive features,” he said. “Beauty is everywhere.””（对于艺术家来说，美并不一定存在于一个活生生的芭比娃娃中；它存在于皱纹、伤痕和性格中。他说：“我一直喜欢画有特色的东西。”“美无处不在。”）可知，美只存在于一个活生生的芭比娃娃不是艺术家对美的看法。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The process has shifted my perspective and I have learned to make up my own mind about what beauty means, whether it is a smiling, strong woman in an oil portrait, or a real-life reflection-complete with a big nose-looking back at me in the mirror.”（这个过程改变了我的观点，我学会了对美意味着什么做出自己的判断，无论是肖像画中微笑的坚强的女人，还是现实生活中对着镜子里看着我的大鼻子的倒影。）可知，被画家描绘的经历改变了作者对美的看法。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“I never thought that one day I would proudly show off my nose on a canvas on my living room wall. As a teenager, I couldn’t stand seeing a photo of my nose in profile. I hated how big it was and, if people praised me for my looks, I always felt it was in spite of the most noticeable feature on my face.”（我从没想过有一天我会自豪地在客厅墙上的画布上炫耀我的鼻子。十几岁的时候，我无法忍受看到自己鼻子侧面的照片。我讨厌它太大，如果有人夸我长得好看，我总是觉得那是无视我脸上最明显的特征。）可知，全文都是贯穿围绕作者大鼻子这件事来展开叙述的。故可推知，文章最好的标题是“我的大鼻子”。故选C项。
C
A new type of plastic made directly from organic plant waste has been created by scientists. The new material is easy to make and could be used in everything from packaging and textiles (纺织品) to medicine and electronics.
The researchers in Switzerland have already used the technique to make packaging films, fibres that can be used for clothes or other textiles and threads for 3D printing.
Conventional plastic is so widespread because making it combines low cost, heat stability, mechanical strength and processability, the researchers say. Until now, few, if any, alternative plastics have managed to match or surpass conventional plastic in these aspects, which is vital if they are to be used more widely.
To make the plastic, scientists “cooked” wood and other plant waste in inexpensive chemicals to make a plastic precursor (前身). The sugar structure stays complete within the molecular (分子) structure of the plastic, making the chemistry much cheaper than other types of alternative plastic.
Baek in 2016, the researchers found out that if they added an aldehyde (乙醛) chemical they could stabilize parts of the plant material to avoid their destruction during extraction. But now, they are using glyoxylic acid, a solid organic substance that occurs naturally and is used in industry. The team could simply fasten “sticky” groups onto both sides of the sugar molecules, which allowed them to act as plastic building blocks. Using this simple technique, they could turn up to a quarter of the weight of agricultural waste, or 95 percent of purified sugar into plastic.
“The plastic has very exciting properties, notably for applications like food packaging,” Professor Jeremy Lautenbacher from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, who created the plastic, said. “What makes the plastic unique is the presence of the complete sugar structure. This makes it incredibly easy to make because you don’t have to change what nature gives you, and it is simple to break down because it can go back to a molecule that is already plentiful in nature.”
8. What can be learned about the conventional plastic and new type of plastic?
A. The new type of plastic can be directly made from plant waste.
B. Researchers use the same chemical in making the conventional plastic and new plastic.
C. The sugar structure stays complete in the conventional plastic.
D. The sugar structure is destroyed in the new type of plastic.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The conventional plastic. B. The new type of plastic.
C. Packaging film. D. 3D printing.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The new type of plastic contains sugar structure.
B. The new type of plastic is easy to make.
C. The new type of plastic is simple to break down.
D. The new type of plastic has splendid features.
11. In which column of a magazine can we most probably find the text?
A. History.
B. Sports.
C. Technology.
D. Entertainment.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们发明了一种直接由有机植物废物制成的新型塑料。这种新材料易于制造，可用于包装、纺织品、医药和电子产品等各个领域。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new type of plastic made directly from organic plant waste has been created by scientists.”（科学家们发明了一种直接由有机植物废物制成的新型塑料。）可知，关于传统塑料和新型塑料，我们可以了解到这种新型塑料可以直接由植物废料制成。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线单词该句中的“Conventional plastic is so widespread”（传统塑料之所以如此普遍）以及“combines low cost, heat stability, mechanical strength and processability, the researchers say.”（结合了低成本、热稳定性、机械强度和可加工性。）故可猜测，划线单词it指的是“传统塑料”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The plastic has very exciting properties, notably for applications like food packaging”（这种塑料具有非常令人兴奋的特性，特别是在食品包装等应用中）和“What makes the plastic unique is the presence of the complete sugar structure. This makes it incredibly easy to make because you don’t have to change what nature gives you, and it is simple to break down because it can go back to a molecule that is already plentiful in nature.””（这种塑料的独特之处在于它具有完整的糖结构。这使得它的制作非常容易，因为你不需要改变大自然给你的东西，而且它很容易分解，因为它可以回到自然界中已经丰富的分子中。）可知，最后一段主要讲的是这种新型塑料有很好的特点。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A new type of plastic made directly from organic plant waste has been created by scientists. The new material is easy to make and could be used in everything from packaging and textiles to medicine and electronics.”（科学家们发明了一种直接由有机植物废物制成的新型塑料。这种新材料易于制造，可用于包装、纺织品、医药和电子产品等各个领域。）可知，主要讲的是科学家们发明了一种直接由有机植物废物制成的新型塑料。故可推知，这篇文章可能来自一本杂志的技术专栏部分。故选C项。
D
With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the noise of traffic, accompanied by honks(喇叭声) from delivery motorbikes, recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, pieces of an older soundscape can be heard.
The sound of caged crickets (蛐蛐) is one. Hung in the doorways of courtyard homes or small shops, the insects bring a rural note into the city. A quarter-century ago their song was common. Today, cricket-sellers still exist. A big cricket sells for 20 yuan. They are heirs (继承人) to a grand tradition．
Another is the music of steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work in Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates, together with a distinctive cry, call customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats. But numbers are falling.
An almost-gone Beijing sound is one of the strangest. It is made by homing pigeons, or more precisely by pigeon whistles. Even 20 years ago, it was possible to hear this sound in the hutongs. It was particularly associated with cold winter skies. Alas, modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide roads and tall buildings, leaving no room for pigeon houses.
Zhang Baotong is one of Beijing’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He learned to make whistles in boyhood. Today Mr. Zhang has a workshop lined with certificates calling him a living treasure. But many of his whistles are sold to collectors and never see the sky. Mr. Zhang is advising a museum of sound that will open soon in Songzhuang, a suburb of Beijing that is popular with artists. A rooftop pigeon house is planned, with more than 100 pigeons that will take to the skies for visitors. It is hoped that pigeon whistles will be heard each day over Songzhuang, at least in cooler months.
The co-founder of Fen Sonic HQ, a cultural institute that will run the museum, is Colin Siyuan Chinnery, a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the sounds and cries used by medicine sellers, doctors and knife sharpeners. Many of these will feature in an exhibit about old Beijing.
12. Why the noise of Beijing’s main roads is mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To introduce the liveliness of Beijing.
C. To show Beijing is a large city. D. To show Beijing’s traffic is crowded.
13. Which fact is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The sound of crickets is still common today.
B. The sound of steel plates is for snack selling.
C. There’s no space for pigeon houses because of transformation.
D. Colin Siyuan Chinnery is an American artist.
14. What do we know about Zhang Baotong?
A. He makes excellent pigeon whistles.
B. He has recorded the sounds of many pigeons.
C. He raises many pigeons.
D. He is going to set up a museum of sound.
15. What’s the main purpose of holding a sound exhibition?
A. To help people learn to listen.
B. To attract people’s attention.
C. To promote artists’ works.
D. To present the characteristics of old Beijing.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种传统的老北京声音。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the noise of traffic, accompanied by honks from delivery motorbikes, recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, pieces of an older soundscape can be heard.”（闭上眼睛，北京的主干道听起来和中国其他城市没什么两样。周围到处都是交通的噪音，伴随着送货摩托车的喇叭声，公共汽车的安全警告记录，偶尔还有租来的自行车的铃声。但在北京最后的几条胡同里，仍能听到一些古老的音景。）并结合下文对几个北京特有的声音的介绍推知，第一段提到了北京主干道的噪音是为了引出文章的主题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Alas, modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide roads and tall buildings, leaving no room for pigeon houses.”（唉，现代北京是一座匆忙的城市。许多胡同被拆除，为宽阔的道路和高大的建筑让路，没有空间给鸽子房。）可知，根据文章我们知道由于改造，鸽子房没有空间了。故选C项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Zhang Baotong is one of Beijing’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He learned to make whistles in boyhood. Today Mr. Zhang has a workshop lined with certificates calling him a living treasure.”（张宝通(音)是北京最后一批鸽子哨制作大师之一。他小时候就学会了做哨子。如今，张先生的工作间里挂满了证书，他被称为“活宝”。）可知，关于张宝通，我们知道他能做出极好的鸽哨。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“The co-founder of Fen Sonic HQ, a cultural institute that will run the museum, is Colin Siyuan Chinnery, a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the sounds and cries used by medicine sellers, doctors and knife sharpeners. Many of these will feature in an exhibit about old Beijing.”（芬音总部(Fen Sonic HQ)是一家文化机构，将负责该博物馆的运营。该机构的联合创始人是科林·思源·钦纳里(Colin Siyuan Chinnery)，一位英裔华裔艺术家，也是北京声音的收藏家。他列出了卖药者、医生和磨刀者使用的声音和哭声。其中许多都将在老北京的展览中展出。）推知，举办声音展览的主要目的是展现老北京的特色。故选D项。

【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于猫的一些奇怪行为的解答。
16题详解】
上文“Cat behaviors can vary enormously from one cat to another. They are certainly interesting creatures with many cute and sometimes strange habits that often have us wondering.”（猫的行为因猫而异。它们当然是有趣的生物，有许多可爱的，有时是奇怪的习惯，经常让我们感到好奇。）引出话题，说明猫的行为让人好奇。以及下文“Why do cats like high places?”（为什么猫喜欢高处？）和“Why does my cat give “gifts”?”（为什么我的猫会送“礼物”？）两个问题。故可推断空格处内容为将会为你解答有关猫行为的问题。结合选项G项“兽医卡特里娜·沃伦博士将为您解答有关猫行为的问题。”符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.”（为什么猫喜欢高处？野猫是猎人，经常出现在高处意味着它们有一个安全的地方来观察自己的领土，观察危险，攻击猎物。）说明猫喜欢从高处看东西。下文“Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.”（我们家养的猫也喜欢从上面看世界，这为它们提供了一个远离室内活动的安全、平静的地方。）再次举例证明猫的这一性格特点。故可推断空格处内容为这或许是猫的一种天生具有的特性。结合选项D项“这似乎是嵌入到它们的DNA中。”符合此推断，为上下文的承上启下，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
【18题详解】
由文章结构可知，该空为小标题，为总结该段内容，也是其中之一的问题。该段下文“Both wild and domestic cats are drawn to hiding and sleeping in contained areas. At home, it is often the humble cardboard box. Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.”（野猫和家猫都喜欢躲在封闭的地方睡觉。在家里，它通常是简陋的纸板箱。猫是掠食者，盒子是等待猎物和猛扑的绝佳藏身之处，因为只有一个入口。）可知，讲的是猫喜欢待的地方。结合选项A项“猫为什么坐在盒子里？”意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）可知，讲的是关于捕猎方面的话题，结合选项B项“猫是食肉动物，如果被允许到户外，它们就会捕猎。”也是讲的关于捕猎方面的事情，下文是对该空格处内容的补充解释，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.”（众所周知，猫会给我们留下我们可能不想要的礼物，比如蜥蜴或老鼠。）和“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）讲的是猫给我们带来不喜欢的东西，但这只是猫想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。以及下文“Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.”（一定要给你的猫提供各种各样的玩具，帮助它们满足这些自然的狩猎本能。）讲的是尽量满足猫的狩猎本能，可知猫没错，故可推断空格处内容为不要对猫表达出我们的不满。结合选项E项“不要表达愤怒，因为它们不会理解。”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

One possible version
Dear Ben,
How are you doing? Owing to the occasional outbreak of the Covid-19, we sometimes have to have lessons on line at home. Actually it is not that bad. Online courses break through the limitation of time and space, providing us with great convenience to study and saving us and our parents a lot of time. But it also has some disadvantages, one of which is that it requires students’ self-discipline and lacks interaction between teacher and students.
All in all, every coin has two sides. As far as I am concerned, if you can make full use of every possible means appropriately to study, it won’t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Honesty is a vital quality of human behavior and always regarded as a virtue.Every time people refer to the topic, I would recall an unforgettable experience which had a deep impact on my growth.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas, a town 18 miles away and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced.At that time,I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas,promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage,and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see a movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that l forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch:6 pm.I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place,my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. “ I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn’t show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all.”
Paragraph 1
A wave of guilt swept over me.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
＂I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years,"father said to me.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A wave of guilt swept over me. I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.
Paragraph 2:
“I’m going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”, father said to me. “But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here, and it's dark. You can't walk back. ”I begged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way, telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced. However it was also the most successful lesson.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者驾车去接他的父亲，但是他因为去看电影而耽误了时间后，他谎称去修车了，最后谎言被拆穿了，这使得父亲非常生气。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一股负疚感席卷了我，我不得不承认我去看电影了，这才是我迟到的真正原因……，所以应该写父亲对此的反应是什么以及父亲的情感此时影视什么样的。第二段开头是：父亲对我说：“我现在要走回家，想想这些年来我哪里做错了。”本段应该写父亲对我这么做的反应是什么以及我的心里活动是什么以及我从这件事情当中得到了什么经验教训。
续写时要求所续写短文的词数应为150左右；按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.这句话运用了why引导的定语从句；文章也使用了一些固定词组，如pass through; brought up ; let…down等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。

I never thought that one day I would proudly show off my nose on a canvas on my living room wall. As a teenager, I couldn’t stand seeing a photo of my nose in profile. I hated how big it was and, if people praised me for my looks, I always felt it was in spite of the most noticeable feature on my face.
I was about to accept that I would never fully see my nose as beautiful when I met Nicholas Baldion, an artist, in a London pub, and asked him to paint my portrait. I regretted this the second I arrived for my sitting. I had forgotten that Baldion would have to spend hours staring at my biggest insecurity, and then painstakingly translating it onto canvas.
The first sitting was hard. I could not shake the feeling of wanting to turn my head to face the front. I hated the fact that Baldion was openly and carefully examining the one feature I had spent years trying to hide. Yet, as the two-and-a-half-hour sitting went on, I calmed down and began to accept my feelings. I had put myself in this situation, so now I just needed to sit in it. By the second sitting, I was almost excited-not just by the thought of having an afternoon when I had an excuse to do absolutely nothing, but because it had finally sunk in that I was having my portrait done.
Baldion told me what he was thinking when he looked at my nose. To an artist, beauty doesn’t necessarily reside in a living Barbie doll; it lives in wrinkles, sears, and character. “I always enjoy painting distinctive features,” he said. “Beauty is everywhere.”
I was nervous to see the finished portrait. What if it was further proof that my nose was unattractive? But when I looked at the picture of a gently smiling woman, confident in her own skin, I couldn’t help but smile back. She looked like me, yes, but she also looked quite attractive. Her nose was powerful, strong, and almost beautiful.
The process has shifted my perspective and I have learned to make up my own mind about what beauty means, whether it is a smiling, strong woman in an oil portrait, or a real-life reflection-complete with a big nose-looking back at me in the mirror.
4. Why did the author regret having asked the artist to paint her portrait?
A Because she had to pay for the painting.
B. Because she did not feel safe with the artist.
C. Because she wasn’t confident about her big nose.
D. Because she had to sit for hours for the painting.
5. Which of the following is NOT what the artist thinks of beauty?
A. Beauty exists in wrinkles.
B. Beauty is everywhere.
C. Beauty is features with characteristics.
D. Beauty only lies in a living Barbie doll.
6. What changed the author’s perspective on beauty?
A. A portrait of an artist.
B. Having learned art.
C. The artist having painted her more beautiful.
D The experience of being painted by an artist.
7. What is the best title for the text?

B. My Portrait
C. My Large Nose
D. An Artist and Me
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C

A new type of plastic made directly from organic plant waste has been created by scientists. The new material is easy to make and could be used in everything from packaging and textiles (纺织品) to medicine and electronics.
The researchers in Switzerland have already used the technique to make packaging films, fibres that can be used for clothes or other textiles and threads for 3D printing.
Conventional plastic is so widespread because making it combines low cost, heat stability, mechanical strength and processability, the researchers say. Until now, few, if any, alternative plastics have managed to match or surpass conventional plastic in these aspects, which is vital if they are to be used more widely.
To make the plastic, scientists “cooked” wood and other plant waste in inexpensive chemicals to make a plastic precursor (前身). The sugar structure stays complete within the molecular (分子) structure of the plastic, making the chemistry much cheaper than other types of alternative plastic.
Baek in 2016, the researchers found out that if they added an aldehyde (乙醛) chemical they could stabilize parts of the plant material to avoid their destruction during extraction. But now, they are using glyoxylic acid, a solid organic substance that occurs naturally and is used in industry. The team could simply fasten “sticky” groups onto both sides of the sugar molecules, which allowed them to act as plastic building blocks. Using this simple technique, they could turn up to a quarter of the weight of agricultural waste, or 95 percent of purified sugar into plastic.
“The plastic has very exciting properties, notably for applications like food packaging,” Professor Jeremy Lautenbacher from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, who created the plastic, said. “What makes the plastic unique is the presence of the complete sugar structure. This makes it incredibly easy to make because you don’t have to change what nature gives you, and it is simple to break down because it can go back to a molecule that is already plentiful in nature.”
8. What can be learned about the conventional plastic and new type of plastic?
A. The new type of plastic can be directly made from plant waste.
B. Researchers use the same chemical in making the conventional plastic and new plastic.
C. The sugar structure stays complete in the conventional plastic.
D. The sugar structure is destroyed in the new type of plastic.
9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The conventional plastic. B. The new type of plastic.
C. Packaging film. D. 3D printing.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The new type of plastic contains sugar structure.
B. The new type of plastic is easy to make.
C. The new type of plastic is simple to break down.
D. The new type of plastic has splendid features.
11. In which column of a magazine can we most probably find the text?
A. History.
B. Sports.
C. Technology.
D. Entertainment.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C

With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the noise of traffic, accompanied by honks(喇叭声) from delivery motorbikes, recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, pieces of an older soundscape can be heard.
The sound of caged crickets (蛐蛐) is one. Hung in the doorways of courtyard homes or small shops, the insects bring a rural note into the city. A quarter-century ago their song was common. Today, cricket-sellers still exist. A big cricket sells for 20 yuan. They are heirs (继承人) to a grand tradition．
Another is the music of steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work in Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates, together with a distinctive cry, call customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats. But numbers are falling.
An almost-gone Beijing sound is one of the strangest. It is made by homing pigeons, or more precisely by pigeon whistles. Even 20 years ago, it was possible to hear this sound in the hutongs. It was particularly associated with cold winter skies. Alas, modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide roads and tall buildings, leaving no room for pigeon houses.
Zhang Baotong is one of Beijing’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He learned to make whistles in boyhood. Today Mr. Zhang has a workshop lined with certificates calling him a living treasure. But many of his whistles are sold to collectors and never see the sky. Mr. Zhang is advising a museum of sound that will open soon in Songzhuang, a suburb of Beijing that is popular with artists. A rooftop pigeon house is planned, with more than 100 pigeons that will take to the skies for visitors. It is hoped that pigeon whistles will be heard each day over Songzhuang, at least in cooler months.
The co-founder of Fen Sonic HQ, a cultural institute that will run the museum, is Colin Siyuan Chinnery, a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the sounds and cries used by medicine sellers, doctors and knife sharpeners. Many of these will feature in an exhibit about old Beijing.
12. Why the noise of Beijing’s main roads is mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To introduce the liveliness of Beijing.
C. To show Beijing is a large city. D. To show Beijing’s traffic is crowded.
13. Which fact is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The sound of crickets is still common today.
B. The sound of steel plates is for snack selling.
C. There’s no space for pigeon houses because of transformation.
D. Colin Siyuan Chinnery is an American artist.
14. What do we know about Zhang Baotong?
A. He makes excellent pigeon whistles.
B. He has recorded the sounds of many pigeons.
C. He raises many pigeons.
D. He is going to set up a museum of sound.
15. What’s the main purpose of holding a sound exhibition?
A. To help people learn to listen.
B. To attract people’s attention.
C. To promote artists’ works.
D. To present the characteristics of old Beijing.

【17题详解】
上文“Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.”（为什么猫喜欢高处？野猫是猎人，经常出现在高处意味着它们有一个安全的地方来观察自己的领土，观察危险，攻击猎物。）说明猫喜欢从高处看东西。下文“Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.”（我们家养的猫也喜欢从上面看世界，这为它们提供了一个远离室内活动的安全、平静的地方。）再次举例证明猫的这一性格特点。故可推断空格处内容为这或许是猫的一种天生具有的特性。结合选项D项“这似乎是嵌入到它们的DNA中。”符合此推断，为上下文的承上启下，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.”（野猫和家猫都喜欢躲在封闭的地方睡觉。在家里，它通常是简陋的纸板箱。猫是掠食者，盒子是等待猎物和猛扑的绝佳藏身之处，因为只有一个入口。）可知，讲的是猫喜欢待的地方。结合选项A项“猫为什么坐在盒子里？”意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）可知，讲的是关于捕猎方面的话题，结合选项B项“猫是食肉动物，如果被允许到户外，它们就会捕猎。”也是讲的关于捕猎方面的事情，下文是对该空格处内容的补充解释，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.”（众所周知，猫会给我们留下我们可能不想要的礼物，比如蜥蜴或老鼠。）和“Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.”（向你炫耀它们的猎物意味着你是它们家庭的一员，它们想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。）讲的是猫给我们带来不喜欢的东西，但这只是猫想向你展示它们的狩猎技能。以及下文“Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.”（一定要给你的猫提供各种各样的玩具，帮助它们满足这些自然的狩猎本能。）讲的是尽量满足猫的狩猎本能，可知猫没错，故可推断空格处内容为不要对猫表达出我们的不满。结合选项E项“不要表达愤怒，因为它们不会理解。”符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

【答案】[参考范文]
One possible version
Dear Ben,
How are you doing? Owing to the occasional outbreak of the Covid-19, we sometimes have to have lessons on line at home. Actually it is not that bad. Online courses break through the limitation of time and space, providing us with great convenience to study and saving us and our parents a lot of time. But it also has some disadvantages, one of which is that it requires students’ self-discipline and lacks interaction between teacher and students.
All in all, every coin has two sides. As far as I am concerned, if you can make full use of every possible means appropriately to study, it won’t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Honesty is a vital quality of human behavior and always regarded as a virtue.Every time people refer to the topic, I would recall an unforgettable experience which had a deep impact on my growth.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas, a town 18 miles away and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced.At that time,I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas,promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage,and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see a movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that l forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch:6 pm.I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place,my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. “ I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn’t show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all.”
Paragraph 1
A wave of guilt swept over me.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
＂I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years,"father said to me.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A wave of guilt swept over me. I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.
Paragraph 2:
“I’m going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”, father said to me. “But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here, and it's dark. You can't walk back. ”I begged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way, telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced. However it was also the most successful lesson.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者驾车去接他的父亲，但是他因为去看电影而耽误了时间后，他谎称去修车了，最后谎言被拆穿了，这使得父亲非常生气。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一股负疚感席卷了我，我不得不承认我去看电影了，这才是我迟到的真正原因……，所以应该写父亲对此的反应是什么以及父亲的情感此时影视什么样的。第二段开头是：父亲对我说：“我现在要走回家，想想这些年来我哪里做错了。”本段应该写父亲对我这么做的反应是什么以及我的心里活动是什么以及我从这件事情当中得到了什么经验教训。
续写时要求所续写短文的词数应为150左右；按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.这句话运用了why引导的定语从句；文章也使用了一些固定词组，如pass through; brought up ; let…down等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
