    School started again, and soon the ink(墨水)in Tom's spelling

book was found. Tom said he hadn't split the ink, but that made it look as if （好像）he were lying. Becky almost said Alfred Temple had done it, but she kept quiet. She thought that Tom would tell the teacher about her tearing(撕)his book, so she didn't save him. Mr. bobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat.

    After an hour Mr. bobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book. Tom looked over at Becky. She looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment the master faced the children. There was a long silence, then he spoke, "Who tore(撕) this book?"

    There wasn't a sound. The teacher searched their faces.

    "Benjamin Rogers, did you do it?"

    Benjamin said no.

    "Joseph Harper, did you?"

    Joseph also said no. Bobbins looked at the rows of boys, thought for a moment, then turned to

the girls.

    "Amy Lawrence?"

    A shake of the head.

    "Gracie Miller?"

    The same sign.

    Becky was next. Tom was shaking from head to foot.

    "Rebecca Thatcher? " -- (Tom looked at her face: it was white with terror)--"did you tear?-no, look at my face -- did you tear this book?"

    Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, "I did it!"

    The children stared(盯着)in surprise at his foolish act.

    And when he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks, and the love that came from Becky's eyes. This was enough for one hundred beatings. And he didn't even mind staying for two hours after school, because he knew that Becky was waiting for him outside.

    Tom went to bed that night planning some actions on Alfred Temple, for Becky had told him everything. And he fell asleep with Becky's last words to him in his ear, "Tom, you are so great."

44. How did Becky feel when the teacher took out of the book?

  A. Happy..            B. Afraid           C. Excited.         D. Angry.

45. What does the underlined word "This" in the passage mean?

  A. Becky's eyesight.                      B. The teacher's punishment.

  C. Becky's surprise, thanks and love.         D. The classmates' surprise.

46. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?

  ① Gracie Miller replied to the teacher by shaking her head.

  ② The children were surprised at Tom's foolish act.

  ③ Tom was beaten for the ink split in his spelling book.

  ④ Becky was thankful to Tom for what he did for her.

  ⑤ Mr. bobbins' book was carelessly torn by Becky.

  A. ⑤③①④② B. ③①②④⑤  C. ⑤③①②④ D. ③④②⑤①

47. What can you infer(推断)from this passage?

  C. Alfred Temple might be punished by Tom the next day.

  D. Tom waited for Becky outside the classroom after school.

C

On Nov.16, seven astronauts（宇航员）on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an alarm (警报). A Russian missile (导弹) test had just bombed a satellite（卫星） into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.

NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much faster than a bullet (子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.

Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets（火箭）and satellites into space. Many are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.

Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an experiment（实验）. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon (鱼叉).

Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task to clean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), where it will burn up as it falls because of strong friction (摩擦).

48. The bomb of the Russian missile mainly causes ________ according to the article.

A. soil B. plants C. space debris D. food

49. According to NASA, space debris moves ________ as fast as a bullet.

A. nine times B. eight times C. six times D. seven times

50. What happens to a space station if it gets “wiped out”?

A. It gets cleaned. B. It gets rebuilt. C. It gets broken. D. It gets old.

51. The best ways to deal with space debris is ________ according to the article.

a. throwing it away into the planet    

b. throwing it into the sun to burn up   

c. collecting it with nets and harpoons

d. throwing it into Earth’s atmosphere to burn up

A. ad B. cd C. abD. bd

52. What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 3-4?

A. There is nothing we can do to deal with space debris.

B. The astronauts are quite safe in space even there is space debris.

C. More and more tasks are failing because we don’t want to cause space rubbish.

D. Thousands of old rockets and satellites are turning into space rubbish for years.

    The Ghost moved slowly and silently towards him. And as it moved through the air, it scattered（分散）gloom（黑暗）.

    The Ghost wore a black robe（长袍）. 53   , its face and its body. The only thing visible（看得见的）was a hand.

The Ghost neither spoke nor moved. Scrooge was terrified.

    "Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?" asked Scrooge.

       54   ，but it pointed its hand in front of it.

    "You are going to show me the future," Scrooge continued. "Am I right, Ghost?"

       55  . That was the only answer Scrooge received.

    "Ghost of the Future," he said, "I am more afraid of you than of all the other ghosts. But because I want to be a better man, I will go with you.   56   ."

    It didn't reply. The hand pointed straight in front of them.

    "Lead on!" said Scrooge.

    The Ghost moved forwards.   57   . And the robe carried him along. The city sprang（跳起） up around them. There they were, in the heart of it. The Ghost stopped beside some businessmen at the Stock Exchange. His hand was pointing to them, so Scrooge listened to their conversation.

八、阅读表达(83题1分，84题2分，85题3分；满分6分)

    Baozi is one of the common Chinese foods for breakfast. Who

would have thought that this simple meal would become a leading

character in a film, and even win an Oscar?

    On February 24, 2019, the short film Baozi won the Oscar for

Best Animated Short Film. In the film, a small baozi comes to life

and becomes the "son" of a lonely Chinese woman in an immigrant(移民) family in Canada.

Domee Shi, Pixar's first Chinese-Canadi woman director, got the idea from her own experience. When Shi grew up, she was busy working and spent little time with her mother.

    Baozi tells the life of an empty-nest （空巢）Chinese Canadian mother who feels lonely after her son leaves home to go for his own life.

    In the film, many details show the way the Chinese woman loves her "son". She prepares delicious food, cleans up the house carefully and always buys him snacks. These details are true to the strong and protective love of Chinese parents for their children.

    Traditionally, Chinese parents don't say‘I 1ove you’to their kids. They express it with food or by fussing(小题大做)over them. "I didn't use dialogue in the film because I wanted it to be a story that spoke to everyone around the world." said Shi at an interview.

    Moreover, this film can be a bridge to help parents and children better understand each other and learn how to express love.

83. Who is Domee Shi? 1分

84. What details show the way the Chinese woman loves her "son" in the film? 2分

85. Do you think it's necessary and important to say 'I love you' to your parents?

 Why or Why not?  3分

九、书面表达 20分

Last week, we had a class meeting to discuss what types of TV programmes we students should watch.

Some students think we should watch documentaries because we can learn a lot about nature and history from them. And they can open our eyes. Some students believe that watching news report is good for us because we can know what is happening around the world. And we can also learn about many real-life events. Other students think watching music programmes may help us relax and learn about different music all over the world.

Our teacher advises us to watch fewer drama series because watching too much TV is bad for our eyes and may influence our study.

In my opinion, we should learn to choose the TV programmes which are suitable for us. And we should keep a balance between our study and TV programmmes.
