Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when the outgoing tenant (房客) said something curious, “Just so you know, there’s this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment. The previous tenants received the mail too. It has been coming for years and no one knows why.”

Glaub and Parker settled in to their new home, and for the first two years only a few letters from kids or parents asked “Santa” for gifts they could not otherwise afford. Then in the months leading to Christmas 2010, their mailbox was filled with letters to Santa every day. They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. They could do only so much.

But one night, when he and Parker threw a 1960s—themed Christmas party, a solution appeared. Guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon and asked about them. Glaub told them the story and his guests were intrigued. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll satisfy it.’” And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street.

To spread the word, they started a website, miracleon22ndstreel. com, and a Facebook page. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, they invited families from around the county to go online and request gifts for their children. Likewise, donors, also known as “elves,” can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note with Elf before their name, such as Elf Jim or Elf Jody.

Last year, Glaub and Miracle on 22nd Street helped more than 800 families. Glaub no longer wonders why the letters come to the apartment. Putting in the long hours to help the families is what it’s all about for him. “It’s part of Christmas for me,” he says, “It wouldn’t be Christmas without it.”

4．What did the tenant think of receiving the letters in the apartment?

A．Odd. B．Comic. C．Exciting. D．Disturbing.

5．What can be implied about the couple in paragraph 2?

A．They got really bothered. B．They had tried their best.

C．They overcame the challenge. D．They were content with their new life.

6．What does the underlined word “intrigued” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Interested. B．Relieved. C．Puzzled. D．Surprised.

7．What is the text mainly about?

A．How a volunteer organization is formed.

B．How Miracle on 22nd Street is operated.

C．How a couple deal with the letters to Santa.

D．How donors purchase gifts for families in need.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Jim Glaub和Dylan Parker夫妇通过与其他帮助有需要的人的非营利组织合作，来回复一些家庭写给“圣诞老人”的信，为他们送去礼物。

4．A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when the outgoing tenant (房客) said something curious, “Just so you know, there’s this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment. The previous tenants received the mail too. It has been coming for years and no one knows why.”(Jim Glaub和Dylan Parker刚拿到他们在曼哈顿第22街的新公寓的钥匙，那个即将离开的房客说了些奇怪的话：“告诉你们一声，有个地方，给圣诞老人的信会寄到公寓里。之前的房客也收到了邮件。它已经来了很多年，没有人知道为什么。”)”可知，房客对在公寓里收到这些信感到奇怪，故选A。

5．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的“They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. They could do only so much.(他们尽可能多地回复，写便条，甚至买礼物。Glaub当然不是圣诞老人。他们能做的也就这么多了。)”可知，这对夫妇已经尽力了。故选B。

6．A【解析】词句猜测题。根据第三段的“A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll satisfy it.’(很多人说，‘我要一封信。我会满足它的。’)”可知，他的客人们都很感兴趣，划线词intrigued的意思是“感兴趣的”，和interested意思相近，故选A。

7．C【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Glaub and Parker settled in to their new home, and for the first two years only a few letters from kids or parents asked “Santa” for gifts they could not otherwise afford. Then in the months leading to Christmas 2010, their mailbox was filled with letters to Santa every day. They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. They could do only so much.(Glaub和Parker在新家安顿下来，在头两年里，只有几封来自孩子或父母的来信，要求“圣诞老人”送他们买不起的礼物。在2010年圣诞节前的几个月里，他们的邮箱里每天都塞满了写给圣诞老人的信。他们尽可能多地回复，写便条，甚至买礼物。格劳布当然不是圣诞老人。他们能做的也就这么多了。)”和倒数第二段的“To spread the word, they started a website, miracleon22ndstreel. com, and a Facebook page. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, they invited families from around the county to go online and request gifts for their children. Likewise, donors, also known as “elves,” can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note with Elf before their name, such as Elf Jim or Elf Jody.(为了传播这个消息，他们建立了一个网站，miracleon22ndstreel. com和一个Facebook页面。他们与其他帮助有需要的人的非营利组织合作，邀请全国各地的家庭上网为他们的孩子索要礼物。同样，捐赠者，也被称为“精灵”，可以注册为孩子或家庭购买礼物，并在他们的名字前附上精灵的签名便条，如精灵Jim或精灵Jody。)”可知，本文主要讲的是Jim Glaub和Dylan Parker夫妇通过与其他帮助有需要的人的非营利组织合作，来回复一些家庭写给“圣诞老人”的信，为他们送去礼物，即How a couple deal with the letters to Santa，故选C。

Not every architectural landmark is grand in scale, with splendid decorations, or amazing colors. Suzhou Gardens may just be the opposite.

When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) first constructed Lion Grove Garden, they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place, hidden away from urban noise, while in the following centuries, this charming garden - most notable for its waterside rockeries resembling the shape of lions—has attracted a constant stream of celebrity guests, who have left a long list of poems, paintings and historical anecdotes (轶事).

In recent years, nine of the best-known classical gardens of Suzhou, including Lion Grove Garden, Humble Administrator’s Garden and Great Wave Pavilion, were registered into the World Heritage List. As UNESCO remarks, “Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature (缩略图), is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens, which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world.”

Nowadays, relevant administrations have been trying to restore the historical landscapes of Suzhou’s classical gardens. Consequently, last year, a new project was launched allowing tourists in small groups to reserve places to enter the garden in the early morning before the regular opening time. Their visit ended with them completing the last step in making a traditional folding fan, adding a poem about the garden on its surface. The experience was also regarded as a way to help people understand the wisdom, elegance and philosophical worldview of the ancient Chinese literati (文人).

The delicate beauty of the gardens still flows via the canals that snake across Suzhou. Hardly felt, their strength in shaping the city’s character seems to last forever.

8．What’s the purpose of building the Lion Grove Garden?

A．To share historical anecdotes.

B．To attract celebrity guests.

C．To enjoy the beautiful scenery.

D．To stay far from the madding crowd.

9．What do Suzhou Gardens show?

A．Splendid decorations.

B．Grand beauty.

C．Human-nature harmony.

D．Amazing colors.

10．What can we know about the project from Paragraph 4?

A．It featured traditional Chinese elements.

B．Small groups without reservation were welcome.

C．Its main aim was to help people approach poems.

D．It was launched when the gardens were open to the public.

11．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Suzhou Gardens, a place of national pride.

B．Suzhou Gardens, a place with natural beauty.

C．Suzhou Gardens, a place that shows the decorations and colors.

D．Suzhou Gardens, a place that reflects the philosophy and culture.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了，苏州园林的起源、美丽的自然景观和国家对保护它的努力。

8．D【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“When a group of monks during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) first constructed Lion Grove Garden, they may have just wanted to enjoy a quiet place, hidden away from urban noise (元朝（1271-1368年），一群僧人第一次建造狮子林时，他们可能只是想享受一个远离城市噪音的安静地方)”可知，建造狮子林的目的是为了远离喧嚣的人群。故选D。

9．C【解析】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Classical Chinese garden design, which seeks to recreate natural landscapes in miniature (缩略图), is nowhere better illustrated than in the nine gardens, which reflect the profound natural beauty in Chinese culture and inspire people to pursue harmony with the world. (中国古典园林设计力求以微型形式再现自然景观，这在九座园林中得到了最好的诠释，这九座园林反映了中国文化中深厚的自然美，并激励人们追求与世界的和谐)”可知，苏州园林呈现出自然美，以及人与自然世界的融合。故选C。

10．A【解析】推理判断题。由第四段中的“Their visit ended with them completing the last step in making a traditional folding fan, adding a poem about the garden on its surface. The experience was also regarded as a way to help people understand the wisdom, elegance and philosophical worldview of the ancient Chinese literati (文人). (游客的参观以他们完成制作传统折扇的最后一步——在折扇表面加上一首关于花园的诗而结束。这段经历也被视为帮助人们理解中国古代文人的智慧、优雅和哲学世界观的一种方式)”可知，游客在该项目中，观光以制作传统折扇和在扇面题诗而结束（有助于游客中国古代文人的智慧、优雅和哲学世界观），可得出该项目具有中国传统元素。故选A。

11．B【解析】主旨大意题。第一段引出苏州园林，第二段讲苏州园林的起源，第三段简要介绍苏州园林及其设计理念（展示美丽的自然景观，鼓励人与自然和谐相处），第四段讲相关部门恢复苏州古典园林历史景观的努力，最后一段讲苏州园林的精致之美对城市的意义，文章围绕苏州园林的自然美展开，B项“苏州园林，一个自然美的地方”符合文意。故选B。

Rapid deforestation (毁林) of the Amazon rainforest could influence the temperature and precipitation (降水，降水量) over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers away.

Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation.

The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios.

The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang.

Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don’t present a physical mechanism to explain any influence.

If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ”

12．Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang’s research?

A．Because it played a role as a main carbon sink.

B．Because it was the most important carbon sink.

C．Because it was very likely to turn to savannah.

D．Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”.

13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The benefits of the research.

B．The findings of the research.

C．The means of analyzing the data.

D．The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested.

14．Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with?

A．The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest.

B．The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere.

C．The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have.

D．The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known.

15．What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs?

A．Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time.

B．The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas.

C．The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial.

D．The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国北京师范大学杨赛霓教授及其同事进行的一项研究，该研究通过对1979年到2019年间的全球气象数据进行分析，目的在于确认亚马孙雨林地区和其他地区是否在气温和降雨方面存在相互影响的关系，但也有其他研究人员提出不同的观点。

12．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. (他们特别关注亚马逊雨林，因为它是一个重要的碳汇，也是一个气候“爆发点”，超过一定的变暖和人为砍伐森林的阈值，森林就会变成大草原。)”可知，因为亚马逊雨扮演了主要碳汇的角色，所以杨赛霓教授的研究的焦点是亚马逊雨林，故选A。

13．B【解析】主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios.(研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。通过分析亚马逊雨林和这些遥远地区之间的温度变化，他们还能够追踪森林火灾释放的能量或物质(如黑碳)可能通过大气传播的路径。他们的分析表明，在不同的未来变暖情景下，这一路线保持一致。)”可知，第三段主要谈论了研究结果。故选B。

14．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. (研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。)” 可知，Saini Yang会同意亚马逊雨林降雨越多，青藏高原的降雨量就越少的观点，故选C。

15．C【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. (德国马克斯·普朗克气象研究所的维克多·布罗夫金说，这种远程关联是一个有趣的发现，但他怀疑亚马逊雨林的变化会导致其他地方的变化。)”和根据最后一段“If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” (然而，德国波茨坦气候影响研究所的乔纳森·东斯说，如果亚马逊雨林确实对这些地区有影响，这可能意味着亚马逊雨林的临界点可能引发其他地区爆发的风险更高。“这又增加了一张可能倒下的多米诺骨牌。”)”可知，亚马孙雨林发生质的颠覆性变化有一个前提条件，那就是它确实对这些地区有影响，而对于这一点，科学家仍然有争议。故选C。

27．A【解析】考查动词词义辨析。句意：但因为我是右撇子，这就意味着我写出来的东西都是扭曲和奇怪的。A. comes来到；B. drops掉下；C. breaks打破；D. looks看。根据前文“But as I’m right-handed”可知，因为“我”是右撇子，所以写出来的字扭曲怪异，come out意为“出来”。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了正在中国城市中流行的有机食品热。

36．it【解析】考查代词。句意：一旦你开始观察中国的超市，你就很难错过一波针对寻找健康食品的顾客的时尚城市商店。分析句子结构可知，此处用it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to miss the wave of trendy urban shops。故填it。

37．at【解析】考查介词。句意同上。be aimed at“瞄准，针对”是固定短语，此处省略be，用过去分词作后置定语。故填at。

38．concerned【解析】考查形容词。句意：陈丽(音译)和她的丈夫自从为人父母后，就开始非常关注食品安全问题。结合句意表示“关心”用be concerned about，形容词concerned“关心的”作表语。故填concerned。

39．Following【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：紧盯着那个流动的小集市，他们每周都会去一个农贸市场。句中已有谓语动词went且无连词，故空处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语they和follow是主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语。故填Following。

40．which【解析】考查定语从句。句意：最近，一些事情改变了这一切：他们住的公寓楼对面开了一家新店。分析该句成分可知，该句是由“介词十关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词为 the apartment building，作介词in的宾语，用关系代词which。故填which。

41．Brightly【解析】考查副词。句意：灯光明亮且干净，它提供了令人难以置信的各种有机食品。修饰非谓语动词lit应用所给词的副词形式。故填Brightly。

42．an【解析】考查冠词。句意同上。a variety of“各种各样的”是固定搭配，又因为空后的unbelievable为元音音素开头的单词，故用冠词an。故填an。

43．difference【解析】考查名词。句意：与农贸市场相比，在世界好食品购物的价格差异显著：高出30%~50%。作主语，应用所给词的名词形式，difference“差异”是抽象名词，不可数。故填difference。

44．higher【解析】考查形容词。句意同上。根据“Compared with the farmer market”可知，此处是把超时食品的价格和农贸市场相比，因此high应用比较级。故填higher。

45．is grown【解析】考查时态和语态。句意：只要它是由农民以安全的方式种植的，我就没问题。空处为条件状语从句的谓语动词，主语it指代“有机食物”和grow之间是被动关系，且陈述客观事实，故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is grown。

【答案】In order to improve students’ awareness of doing physical exercise and protecting the environment, the Student Union arranged a Plogging in the East Lake Park last Friday.

As scheduled, an instructor introduced the history of this activity in the first place. Then, students were divided into different groups based on the class number. After that, ploggers stopped to pick up any litter they saw along their route as well as put it into the bags while running. At last, the activity was successfully held with the path becoming cleaner.

Personally, we have benefited a lot from this activity. Plogging not only does good to our physical health but also enables us to attach great importance to environment protection.

第二节 读后续写（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一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Katrina began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are gonna notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears pinprick behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst.”

Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a comer of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with stump (假肢) instead of a tail?” she asked an aquarium staff. He nodded. “Yes, that’s Winter. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Katrina caught her breath. “She’s just like me. She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail part of the day to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim.” the staff continued, “Every day, Winter shows us anything is possible if we believe.”

Katrina felt her heartstring was touched. She waved at Winter. Looking at Katrina, Winter raised her flipper (鳍), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Katrina said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Katrina: We’re the same.

Back home, all Katrina talked about was Winter. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.

Unfortunately, another blow hit Katrina. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Katrina was in constant leg nerve pain. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news that she would need another surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell came back to her.

She started fearing surgery again and refused to take any.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Katrina’s mom decided to take her back to Clearwater.

Finally came the day when Katrina was in the hospital again.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Katrina’s mom decided to take her back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Katrina can’t wait to see Winter, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Katrina’s mother pushed the wheelchair to Winter, she raised her flipper, came to her and lifted her head. Katrina couldn’t hold back her excitement. Looking at the girl, Winter seemed to say “Go and take the surgery.” Katrina absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.

Finally came the day when Katrina was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Katrina would face it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater the day she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Winter’s swimming like a normal dolphin, Katrina practiced hard to walk. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recovered. Katrina has no idea what the future holds but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world.

【语篇解读】文章以故事情节发展为线索展开，讲述了一只腿装了假肢的女孩Katrina因为害怕别人异样的目光而容易感到紧张和自卑。有一次去了Clearwater 海洋水族馆，发现了一只尾巴也是假肢的海豚。工作人员告诉她，这只海豚叫Winter，它被捕蟹器捕获，陷阱上的绳子切断了它尾巴的血液循环，所以她失去了尾巴。但是她仍然努力地像其他有尾巴的海豚一样游泳。Winter每天努力向人们证明“只要相信，任何事都有可能”。Winter来到Katrina身边，抬起头，乎在对是对她说：“我们是一样的。”回家后的Katrina心里一直想着Winter，央求妈妈再带她去一次Clearwater 海洋水族馆，但不幸的是，她再次摔倒，不得不在另一只腿上做手术。可是Katrina拒绝再一次手术。

①由第一段首句内容“Katrina的妈妈决定带她回Clearwater 海洋水族馆。”可知，第一段描写Katrina的妈妈想要为了鼓励女儿，带她去海洋馆看看Winter。并且Katrina受到了鼓舞，决定接受手术。

②由第二段首句内容“终于有一天Katrina又住进了医院。”可知，第二段描写Katrina勇敢的进了手术室。在手术成功后，Katrina在家人的鼓励和Winter的启发下，勇敢自信的面对生活，发现世界变得更加美好了。
