That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family to Southern California. My brother and I were leaving our rural Alabama behind. This would be our first New Year away from Alabama. My mother took to California like a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was thrilled at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The instant I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support. But I didn’t get through.On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates (长途电话费) on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled with cheap holiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers. We open them to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included our traditional candy bats. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was familiar holiday.Every New Year that we spent in California, the postal service would call and say our package arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.4. How did the author’s brother feel when they were moving to California?A. distant. B. Appreciative. C. Joyful. D. anxious.5. Why did the author’s classmates laugh at him?A. He had a strong accent. B. He had a humorous tone.C. He looked overweight. D. He lowered his voice.6. Which of the following best describe GrannyA. conventional and determined B. lonely and grateful.C. committed and confident. D. economical and caring7. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Granny’s Care Package B. An Unforgettable HolidayC. Our Move to California D. A Telephone Call from GrannyCEvery year, workers put up a big, freshly cut evergreen tree (常青树) in a historic building in Asbury Park, New Jersey to celebrate Christmas. But recently workers put up a very different kind of Christmas Tree instead.Unlike an evergreen, it requires little care and can never die. That is because the 2021 Christmas Tree is made entirely of a thick and strong paper material called cardboard. When the winter holidays end, the “tree” is to be recycled. The piece uses natural and artificial lighting to darken parts of the tree while shining light on others. In this way, the piece’s appearance changes throughout the day. The tree’s creators sought to honor elements of Asbury Park’s natural environment, cityscape (城市风光) and rich musical history.Opinions on the tree differ enormously. “I like that it’s different…It’s pretty interesting,” said local man Chris Trifari. Local Elizabeth Khimitch offered similar praise. “I think it’s very creative.” She had come to the Grand Arcade to take pictures of her dogs in front of the tree. Others on the boardwalk were not as pleased by the tree. Antony Solimando said it looked like “an Amazon package.” “Can’t we just have our traditional tree?” added Amy Mackey.Michael Lavallee, a local artist who goes by the name Porkchop, created the piece with Brad Hoffer. They call it The Giving Tree. He said the company told him there would not be a natural Christmas tree at Convention Hall this year. “I was asked to come in and do something festive-ish, especially in connection with a holiday.” said Porkchop.Amy Quinn is Asbury Park’s deputy mayor (副市长). Quinn said the city doesn’t intervene in the Convention Hall decisions, but that she likes the piece. She said, “I love that it’s different. Love it or hate it, people are talking about it.”8. According to the text, which one is NOT the characteristic of the paper Christmas tree?A. It needs less care. B. It can be reused next year.C. It can change throughout the day. D. It can be recycled.9. What can be inferred from the text about the creators of the paper Christmas tree?A. They are both environmentalists.B. They thought the paper Christmas tree was something much more impressive.C. They wanted to show respect to Asbury Park’s natural landscape.D. They wanted to create a totally different Christmas for the local people.10. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A. Dramatic. B. Superb.C. Numerous. D. Celebratory.11. Where does the text probably come from?A. A food magazine. B. A travel guide.C. A local newspaper. D. A Science report.DHow many friends do you have? Not counting the hundreds on Facebook or the names gathering dust in your address book. But real friends, the ones cast in stone. The kind who would lend you $100 without asking why, or accommodate you if you were kicked out of your house.Anthropologist Prof Robin Dunbar feels he can put a number on it: five. No matter how much of a social butterfly you are, you can count your real pals on one hand, he says. To that he says you can add an ideal number of 15 “good friends”, the kind of people you would see in a group and would join for a drink if you bumped into them in the pub, and up to 150 “meaningful contacts”.Prof Dunbar’s latest research is an exact formula (公式) for friendship: new friendships take 34 hours of one-on-one time to form, in which you’d spend an ideal duration of three hours and four minutes per interaction together over the course of six months. Note that this is to turn an acquaintance into a friend, not one of the close friends that makes up your inner circle of five—to do that, you’d have to devote 90 hours, according to a 2018 University of Kansas study.According to the experts, the pandemic years have changed the number and nature of our friendship. It gave people more grounds for disagreement: over adherence ( 遵 守 ) to social-distancing rules, for example. Plenty of people lost relationships in the cracks. “We are always on the outlook for new and better friends, but lockdown has had a big effect in making people reevaluate,” says Dunbar. “Perhaps they’ve decided the time has come to part with some and therefore there’s an empty space to fill.”The forecast for British friendship was already gloomy before the pandemic. Three million people said they feel lonely “often or always”, according to the Government’s 2019 community life survey. But the average British adult lost four friends over the course of the pandemic, according to the poll.12. Who are real friends?A. Those who we keep in contact. B. Those who are interested in stones.C. the one who is extremely generous. D. Friends on social networks.13. How long does it take to form close friendships according to the formula?A. 34 hours of one-on-one time.B. 90 hours of interaction.C. Six months of one-on-one time.D. Three hours and four minutes of interaction.14. Which of the following might Prof Dunbar agree with?A. There is a limit to the number of real friends in your life.B. It’s much easier for people to make friends online.C. The more friends you make, the happier your life will be.D. The more sociable you are, the more real friends you can make.15. What might people argue about during the pandemic?A. Whether to part with some old friends.B. How to tackle loneliness during the pandemic.C. Whether to obey social distancing.D. How to make better friends.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余的。It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids and most parents will do this as long as they live.
