But this passenger was a much different story. Magdalen is a 13-year old dog. Her owner gave her up temporarily when he was sick, but when he fully recovered several months later, he said he didn’t want her back. He bad her since she was young but now had no place for her. The family who had given her a temporary home had children and other dogs and was unable to give her a forever home. When Speak St, Louis, the rescue team I work with, was contacted about the dog, they offered to take her in. She went to a vet (兽医) for a basic health check. But the vet didn’t have great news. Her mouth was swollen (肿胀的) with all sorts of problems, Two teeth fell out during cleaning and eleven more had to be pulled out.Luckily, a good friend of mine, a dog trainer with a soft heart for seniors, had agreed to adopt Magdalen. On the trip to the trainer’s home, the sweet senior looked so relaxed in our backseat. I felt a great sense of relief and pleasure.Her owner needed some temporary help when he was sick. But I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have wanted her back. I think of my own dog and dogs we lost to old age in the past. We’re family and we stay that way forever. She’d be able to live a good life. I hoped, in her new home!24. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The former owners of the dog.  B. Where the dog was treated.C. What the dog needed most.  D. The problems the dog met.25. What is the author’s job?A. Training old dogs.   B. Treating sick dogsC. Looking for homes for dogs.  D. Looking for lost dogs’ owners.26. How did the author feel on her way to her friend’s home?A.

She didn’t understand his behaviour.  B. She believed it was painful for him.C. She was certain he would regret.  D. She thought he made a wise decision.CWritten and illustrated by Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree is a children’s book that tells the story about a young boy and a tree in the forest. The story starts with the boy and the tree being the best of friends and having fun. As the boy grows older, he asks more from the tree, which willingly agrees until all that is left is a stump (树桩). In the end, the boy, now an old man, comes back to the tree and tells it that all he wants is a place to sit on, something that the tree eagerly provides.In the book, each part of the story goes straight to the point without confusing readers. The book doesn’t include the events that happen to the boy in between. We see how the boy’s needs increase to a point that the tree finally gives its trunk as he grows. It makes the book easy to read and understand. The writing style may seem plain and boring at first but we need to keep in mind that it is a children’s book. If it weren’t that way, then it would be unattractive to its young readers.The words used are very easy to understand. The phrase, “and the tree was happy”, is quite moved and shows the tree’s love for the boy. The use of the word “need” also shows readers the attitude of the boy. The change from “need” to “want” in the end also tells readers the changes that the boy goes through.Though the book has been criticized as it can be understood in different ways, it is because of this that the book succeeds. Again the book is written for children. Different children have their own ways to understand the book and will consider it interesting.28. What is the book mainly about?A. A boy’s great love for a tree. B. A boy’s relationship with a treeC. A boy’s dependence on a forest. D. A boy’s interesting life in a forest.29. Why is the book suitable for young readers in the author’s opinion?A. Its story is touching.   B. Its expressions are simpleC. Its writing style is humorous.  D. Its topics are varied.30. What makes The Giving Tree popular?A. The comments kids gave.  B. The writing style.C. The pictures in it.   D. Different ways to understand it.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To comment on a book.  B. To introduce a writer.C. To recommend a story.  D. To give readers a lesson.DThe surface of Mars is etched (蚀刻) with ancient river valleys and lake basins. Some researchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. Today, Mars is too cold for much, if any, liquid water to exist. And 3.8 billion years ago, when the flowing water formed, the sun was fainter than it is today, making it even harder to imagine a warm Martian climate. That’s why many researchers think Mars may have gone in and out of deep freezes.Some researchers have suggested that early Mars only thawed out (解冻) when large asteroid (小行星) impacts or volcanic eruptions temporarily warmed the planet. But Kasting, a geologist at Penn State University, thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast canyons (峡谷) that exist on Mars. Now, Kasting and his colleagues have come up with an alternative explanation. They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect.The idea goes like this: When Mars was cold and frozen, volcanoes continued to belch out the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere. There, the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow, forming Mars’ rivers and lakes. However, warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide, mitigating the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet back down again. Then the cycle would repeat.Kasting shared his theory with other astronomers at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, and in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. So far, Kasting’s team has only shown that such an explanation is possible, according to climate models. But the researchers say field trips could help test the idea by looking for evidence of multiple warm events, and their durations.32. What made researchers believe that liquid water once existed on Mars?A. The geological features of Mars.  B. The natural climate of Mars.C. The temperatures of the sun.  D. The colour of the planet.33. What is Kasting’s theory based on?A. Large asteroids had no impact on Mars.B. Volcanic eruptions were very frequent on MarsC. Deep valleys couldn’t be formed in a short period of time.D. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen were abundant in the atmosphere.34. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Achieving.  B. Reducing.  C. Experiencing.  D. Enhancing.35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Large Asteroid Impacts on the Red PlanetB. Liquid Water Existing on MarsC. Climate Cycles Could Have Carved Canyons on MarsD. Ancient River Valleys Have Been Found on Mars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。Finding an apartment can be challenging for many people.

Her 10-year-old granddaughter. Lynn, had pity for her. But as time passed, she became impatient with some of her actions. “Mum! I don’t want to eat with Grandma,” Lynn said one day. “Her hands keep shaking, and she often drops food.

Your dad, your grandma and I will also attend your party.” “I don’t want Grandma to come!” Lynn replied. “Her hands shake, and she drops food. My friends will laugh at me!”“She’s old and needs our help, Lynn. You’ll help Grandma, right? Aren’t you a good girl?” replied Amanda. But Lynn worried about friends’ laughing. Days later, when Lynn returned home from school, Amanda said. “We won’t celebrate your birthday this time.” “Is it because I said bad things about Grandma? I’ll invite her. Please don’t cancel it,” Lynn begged. “It’s not like that,” Amanda explained. “This noon, your grandmother was sent to hospital. She had a stroke after staying up all night making warm gloves for you. She managed to finish the birthday present.” Lynn was shocked, saying, "Did Grandma fall sick because of me? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have talked about her like that." Amanda comforted Lynn, “Grandma will be fine.” “What if she doesn’t?” Lynn asked, crying, “I was so mean to her.

B 细节理解题。根据文章的What will you learn?部分列出的几个条目可知，“Techniques used to improve your finances(用来提升你的经济状况的技术)”并不在你能学习到的内容里面。故选B。22. C 细节理解题。 根据文章的 Who are your instructors?这个部分“Jacky Forsyth: She’s an associate professor at the School of Health, Science and Wellbeing, Staffordshire University. She focuses on developing research and study on women in sport and exercise.”可知，Jacky Forsyth 专注于发展女性在运动和健身方面的研究。故选C。23. A推理判断题。根据文章的语境可知，文章应该节选自一篇广告。故选A。【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者安置一只老龄狗的故事。24. D段落大意题。通读本段可知，当Magdalen需要一个临时的家的时候，这家人给了它一个家，但是他们有孩子和其他狗狗，他们不能给它一个永远的家，Magdalen也老了，病了。所以本段主要介绍了 Magdalen遇到的问题。25. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“my husband and I drove a dog to her new home. Typically, when we have a new dog in the backseat, it’s a young dog”和下文作者找兽医为 Magdalen 治病，并最终为 Magdalen找到收养者可知，作者的工作是为狗狗找新家。26. A细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知，年迈的Magdalen虽然被原来的主人拋弃了，但作者的一个关心老狗狗的好朋友答应收养它，她在开车送Magdalen去朋友家的路上是感到欣慰和开心的。27. A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Magdalen原来的主人生病时，他需要一些临时帮助，但是当他康复后却不想要它回去了。作者想起了自己的狗和在过去因年老而失去的狗。作者认为他们是一家人，永远都是这样。故作者无法理解Magdalen的主人的行为。【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要对一本儿童书籍的内容、写作风格和语言特点等方面作了评价。28. B 推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“The story starts with the boy and the tree being the best of friends and having fun. As the boy grows older，he asks more from the tree，which willingly agrees until all that is left is a stump. In the end，the boy，now an old man，comes back to the tree and tells it that all he wants is a place to sit on，something that the tree eagerly provides. ”可推断，这本书主要介绍一个小男孩和一棵树之间的友谊。29.B推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句和第三段可知，这本书使用非常简单的短语和词汇，所以非常容易理解，即它简单易懂的语言使之适合小孩子阅读。30. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 “Though the book has been criticized as it can be understood in different ways，it is because of this that the book succeeds. ”可知，不同的人对这本书有不同的理解，也就是说不同的人对这本书反映的道理有不同的理解，故使这本书很受欢迎。31. A推理判断题。本文介绍了一本儿童书籍的内容、写作风格和语言特点等，由此可知，作者的写作目的是为了对一本书作出评价。【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。火星上曾经有液态水，这是怎么形成的呢？科学家们提出了新的理论。32. A 细节理解题。 根据第一段的“The surface of Mars is etched with ancient river valleys and lake basins. Some researchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. ”可知，火星表面有着古老的河谷和湖泊盆地，这使得研究人员认为液态水曾经在火星上流动。33. C 细节理解题。 根据第二段的“But Kasting，a geologist at Penn State University，thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast canyons that exist on Mars”可知，但是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的地质学家卡萨丁认为，剧烈变动带来的温暖期太过短暂，不足以形成火星上巨大的峡谷。34. B 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“warm temperatures and abundant water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide”可知，温暖的气候和充足的水也会加速某些化学反应，这样就消耗了二氧化碳。二氧化碳减少了就会减少温室效应，从而使地球温度下降。35. C标题归纳题。文章主要介绍的是气候的变化周期可能造成了火星上的峡谷。其余选项则过于片面。故选C。【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。城市中的很多人需要寻找公寓租住，通过科学的规划、调查和分析，找到合适的公寓是完全可能的。本文就此给出了几点建议。36. D  D项意思为“你只需要知道一些重要的找房技巧”，空后内容指出这样你就可以很容易地找到一间适合你的公寓，在语义上承接D项内容。37. G选项G意思为“如果你最终选择一个你几乎负担不起的地方，你将承受维持收支平衡的压力”，空后内容指出所以让我们把这部分做好，在语义上承接G项内容，形成因果关系。38. A本空所填句子为段落的主旨。本段主要阐述寻找公寓时有许多个人的喜好。要考虑到这些因素，探索社区并选择一个最合适的。A项意思为“决定你想要的位置”，体现了本段的主旨大意。39. C空前内容指出不要租你看到的第一套公寓，C项意思为“尝试考察至少两个或三个地方，以便进行比较”，在语义上承接前文内容。40.F空前内容指出你可以自己做或者邀请一些朋友来帮助你。F项意思为“有不同的观点总是好的，他们可能会看到你忽略的东西”，在语义上对前文的建议做出解释。此外，they对应前文的some friends。【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了年近百岁的老太太Gwen Erickson努力拯救濒危的帝王蝶的故事。41. A根据本空前的“raise 27 butterflies”可知，此处是说蝴蝶的数量（number)增加到了 61只。42. D 一些人认为应让自然去维持（sustain)其自身的运转，不应人为地干涉。43. B 根据文章首句中的“one of America’s most popular，yet endangered，butterflies—the Monarch”可知，这种蝴蝶的数量正在迅速减少（declining)。44. C值得庆幸的是（Thankfully)，这种爱和奉献正是这位97岁的老人能够给予（provide)她的蝴蝶朋友们的。45. D 根据下文“A fortnight later the beautiful butterfly ______.”可知，整个过程有点耗时（time-consuming)。46. B根据语境可知，这里是指毛毛虫最终破“蛹”而出，化为美丽的蝴蝶。turn up意为“出现”，符合语境。47. D根据下文的“by flying around the house”可知，在Erickson将她所养的帝王蝶放飞之后，有一些似乎有点不愿意（unwilling)离开。48. A那些不愿离开的帝王蝶一直绕着Erickson的房子飞舞，陪伴着（accompanied)它们的“恩人”。49. C 根据本空后的“her first attempt to raise the butterflies”可知，这里是指 Erickson 回忆（recalling)她第一次试着去养帝王蝶时的情形。50. B根据空后内容可推知，最初Erickson试着去养帝王蝶是希望她的孙辈们能够对这一美丽的物种产生(develop)兴趣。51. B通常Erickson不喜欢谈论自己和她所做的事情，但她现在这么做了，是希望能够鼓励（encourage)其他人一起来关注这一濒临灭绝的物种。52. A此处指她喜欢做的事，即拯救帝王蝶。53. C 根据本空前的 hopefully 以及上文的“Last year the grandmother managed to raise 27 butterflies and this year the ______ has gone up to61. ”可知，经过人们的努力拯救，这一正在急剧减少的物种的数量有望出现变化（change)54. A本空后的“started so late in life”与文章的首句相呼应，由此可知，此处指Erickson养帝王蝶这一爱好(hobby)。55. D老太太在九十七岁的高龄还在为拯救帝王蝶这一濒危物种忙碌，这是有目标的（purposeful)生活的体现。所以，Erickson的举动也提醒我们，为了目标而努力多晚都不迟。【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。在美国，高中生会在一月结束大学申请，但疫情改变了他们的申请方式。56. in考查介词。take part后有宾语时，需用介词in。57. their考查代词。此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰college application。58. personally考查副词。空格中所填词修饰动词talk，故应填副词形式。59. written考查非谓语动词。此处为过去分词作定语，修饰名词applications，意为“书面的”。60. introduction考查词性转换。此处应用名词作宾语，故填introduction。61. whose考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少关系词，先行词是One student，关系词在定语从句中充当定语，故填whose。62. to go考查非谓语动词。be eager to do sth.表示“渴望做某事。”63. has been考查时态。根据时间状语“over the last 10 months”可知，该句应用现在完成时。64. and考查连词。此处表示并列关系，故用连词and。65. completing考查非谓语动词。介词后应用动词-ing形式作宾语，故填completing。第一节One possible version：Dear Sir or Madam,I’d like to apply for the position which was advertised in the newspaper. I found this post quite appealing to me.I’m Li Hua, a high school student from China. I have a good command of English and I am proud of my fluent English. Last year, I won first place in the spoken English contest held by our school. In addition, I have a passion for helping others and have volunteer experience. I think I’m well qualified for this job.I appreciate your time in reviewing this letter. I’m also looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours Sincerely,Li Hua第二节One possible version：Amanda nodded. When Lynn visited the hospital and saw her grandma on the hospital bed, tears welled up in her eyes. She silently approached her grandma’s bedside and whispered an apology to her. After that day, she kept visiting her grandma and looking after her. As Lynn’s birthday approached, she chatted with Amanda about it. “I want to celebrate my birthday in a simple way with my grandma in the hospital!” she said, holding the gloves her grandma had created for her and sitting beside her.“And Mum, can I cut my birthday cake before Grandma and wish her to be well soon?” Lynn added. Her mum happily nodded. When that day came, Lynn brought a cake to Harriet’s room. When blowing the candles, Lynn closed eyes and said to herself, “I love you, Grandma! I’m sorry I was mean to you. I hope you will get well soon!” Thankfully, Harriett health started improving days later. When Harriet returned home, Lynn hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheeks. Harriet smiled at her and said, “I’m so delighted. I have the loveliest granddaughter in the world!”听力部分录音材料(Text 1)W: Excuse me, sir. I’ve been here for nearly 20 minutes just to pay my telephone bill.M: I’m very sorry, but our computer system is not working at the moment.(Text 2)M: Wow! What a great shot! He’s such a talented football player.W: Yeah, he is great. I know he’s good at lots of sports. He can also play rugby well and he is even a top tennis player.(Text 3)M: It’s really nice of you to cook for me tonight.W: I’m glad to do it. You’ve been so helpful, and it’s only fair that I return the favour. I hope you’ve brought your appetite.(Text 4)M: I placed a takeaway order an hour ago, but the food deliveryman hasn’t arrived yet. According to the policy, I can give him a thumbs-down.W: Don’t be so mean. It’s pouring down outside and I don’t think it is his fault.(Text 5)M: I emailed Kevin and asked him to approve my vacation days a week ago, but I haven’t got his reply yet.W: Why don’t you just ask him in person? I saw him walk into his office just now.M: I don’t know... He’s such a difficult person to talk to.(Text 6)W: James, did you buy something?M: Some shoes. But I didn’t enjoy the shopping.W: What’s wrong?M: The shop assistant followed me around and offered too many suggestions.W: Oh, that doesn’t sound good.M: She kept saying things like “I think this tie goes well with your shirt” and “Why don’t you try the pants?” Why didn’t she just leave me alone?W: Some shop assistants are just like that. Anyway, they are better than the rude ones.(Text 7)M: Hello, this is Frank.W: Hello, Uncle Frank, this is Mary. We’re looking forward to seeing you for Thanksgiving.M: Oh, Mary. That’s why I’m calling. Are you sure there will be enough room for me in your home? I remember there isn’t a guest room there.W: Right, but I’ll be sleeping on the sofa in the living room and you can sleep in my bed. We’ve prepared everything well.M: That’s good. I didn’t get the train ticket so I bought an air ticket. I will arrive in London on the morning of Thanksgiving. See you then.W: My dad said he would pick you up at the airport and drive you to my home. We’ll see you at home.(Text 8)M: Margaret, I need your advice.W: What’s up, Paul?M: Well, I’ve put off my science requirement for three years.W: And if you want to graduate this year, you’ve got to take a science course.M: Right. I think you know about various courses.W: Well, I have to take biology, chemistry, maths and physics. What you need is a course for non-science majors.M: Yes, I’m really weak in science. I did poorly in it in high school.W: Then you’d better avoid chemistry and physics. What about biology?M: The problem is the lab. I’m sick of doing experiments on the bodies of animals.W: That’s a problem. What about astronomy? Everybody says Dr. Kooley is great. I’d take the course myself if I had the time.M: That’s what I thought I’d take. But it meets at the same time as my dance course.W: Geology is pretty interesting and cutting up rocks shouldn’t bother you.M: That’s a good idea. It even fits my hobby of mountain climbing. Thanks a lot.(Text 9)M: Hi Miranda.W: Hi, Jamie. tm helping Mum paint my bedroom at home —the one I share with my younger sister.M: Oh, how’s it going?W: Not well. We can’t agree! My sister and I both have got our own side of the room. I mean, my side is blue, with pop posters all over the wall. But her side is white with pink dolls.M: I share with my elder brother Max. He lets me use his laptop, music player... everything.W: To be honest, she went camping last week, and I really missed her. I found it wasn’t so nice being in our room on my own. I hadn’t expected that.M: I know what you mean. My brother’s going to university soon, and the room will seem empty. Still, at least I’ll be able to get on with my homework in peace —it’s hard at the moment, as he’s often in the room, too.W: Well, my sister likes playing with her friends outside, so it’s OK. But when she’s not at home, I have no one to talk to about my problems.M: That’s true. We wouldn’t feel that if we didn’t share rooms.W: So sharing does have good points.(Text 10)Now many of us write a list of things we’d like to do before we die. Such a list, often called a bucket list, is unlimited. You can write a few or many things on it as you like.Bucket lists can be exciting and help us plan our life and give us focus. They also help make us less worried. When reporter Helen knew she was suffering from cancer, she took comfort in drawing up a bucket list. She called it her list for living because these were things for making the most of life. Sadly, she was not able to do all of her 50 things before she died at the age of 45.It’s probably true that a list can encourage people to follow someone else’s idea of the perfect life. And also, following a fixed list of goals makes us more careful. But why not at least dream of what we would like to do? Whether we want to plan it or just see what happens, we don’t know what tomorrow will bring to us, so maybe we should live for today.
