Firestarter is adapted from Stephen King's 1980 novel. It is the story of a girl with a super power.

The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said,“I always do what I can't do so that I can learn how to do it.” It strikes a chord with me because that's exactly what I've done these years.

One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones（烤饼）when I was about 10 years old.I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home.

Before that I'd observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough with my hands too much once I'd added the baking powder. However,I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me.

By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown!

Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn't live to see another season.

But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don't, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn, and when it's probably better to learn and then do!

24.What can we learn about the author's first experience of baking scones?

A.She practiced hard before actually trying.

B.She turned to her mom when necessary.

C.She wanted to perform better than her mom.

D.She managed to do it despite a little imperfection.

25.How did Mom respond to the author's attempt?

A.She made improvements to the scones.

C.She shared her first experience of baking.

B.She expressed her appreciation for the job.

D.She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen.

26.What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”?

A.Most of them have ended up in failure.

B.They are just a barely usable method.

C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement.

D.They only apply to the learning of specific skills.

27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A.To stress the importance of keeping learning.

B.To show the benefits of doing before learning.

C.To encourage people to do something they can't do.

D.To call on readers to change their way of learning.

Biologists in the United States are sounding an alarm about a deadly disease that has been attacking a quiet , intelligent animal: the bat. The disease,  called white-nose syndrome, is an infection caused by a fungus（真菌）that attack the nose，wings，and other skin areas on the bodies of bats while they are hibernating（冬眠） in large groups in their caves. The disease was first discovered in a New York cave in the winter of 2006, and it is spreading quickly. Infected caves have been discovered in 19 states and in Canada.

Scientists have discovered that the source is a strain of a cold-loving fungus usually found in polar regions. They are not sure how the fungus kills bats. One theory is that the fungus causes discomfort. The bats began to become upset and partially wake up from hibernation. This activity causes them to burn precious stored body fat and die of starvation. Experts estimate that over 5.5 million bats across nine species have disappeared because of the disease. Wildlife experts fear that if the infection spreads to more bat populations in the  Southeast and Midwest, endangered bat species, such as the Indiana bat and Virginia big-eared bat, may be in grave danger of extinction.

Why should Americans care about the loss of these creatures? In warm months, bats fly at night, eating up to their body weight in insects. They control the populations of insects that bite, eat crops, destroy forests, and spread disease. Because of this, the United States government is getting involved. It has heard announcements from bat experts and is taking seriously their pleas（请愿）for funding to study the disease. The possibility of what one lawmaker called “an ecological and economic disaster” is very real if the deadly disease spreads further.

28.What causes white-nose syndrome among the bats?

A.Ecological pollution.

C.The freezing climate.

B.The lack of food.

D.A cold-loving fungus.

29.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A.How the fungus possibly affects bats.

B.Why the bats' hibernation is disturbed.

C.Where the experts discovered the disease.

D.What contributed to the concern of the experts.

30.What is the main concern about the extinction of the bat in the US?

A.The spread of the disease.

B.The destruction of the forests.

C The imbalance of the ecosystem.

D.The decrease of the insect population.

31.What is the US government most likely to do in the future?

A.To introduce laws to protect bats.

B.To approve funding for bat disease research.

C.To declare the coming of an ecological disaster

D.To appeal to people to stay away from infected bats.

D

The US tech giant Microsoft Corp and the leadership consulting firm DDI worked together on a new project on Thursday, with the goal of helping more than 1 million women in China improve their digital skills and embrace the digital future.

The Women Digital Future project came as reports show that women have been more negatively impacted by the COVID-19 than men, and an improvement in digital skills is expected to help them better deal with the bad results from it.

Microsoft said it will partner with a number of companies and organizations to help women in multiple ways, as COVID-19 has accelerated digital transformation worldwide and women are faced with more challenges in both life and work.

Alain Crozier, chairman and CEO of Microsoft Greater China, said, “Microsoft has always placed a high value on the development of our female employees and strongly promoting the power of women to drive the world forward.”

Mindy Yeh, managing director of Greater China, said the company's global survey shows that there are nearly double the number of female leaders at the top 20 percent of well-performing companies than in the bottom 20 percent. Moreover, they have clear advantages in terms of teamwork and interaction.

Cecilia Qi, general manager of GSK China, said, “Digital transformation is both an opportunity and a challenge for women. This is especially the case in the new era, which requires companies to provide women with more support to help them achieve better work-life balance and continue to gain success as they continue forward in their career. Success belongs to everyone, and I believe that, in the future, society will be more supportive of women and provide them with more equal career opportunities.”

32.What is the main purpose of the new project?

A.To help women fight against COVID-19.

B.To reduce the bad impacts from COVID-19 on women.

C. To help women better prepare for the digital future.

D.To promote the products of Microsoft Corp.

33.What does the underlined word “accelerated” mean in paragraph 3?

A.speeded up

B.lived up to

C.influenced

D.prevented

34.What do the figures in paragraph 5 show?

A.Women are more popular in good companies.

B.Women receive more support from society.

C.Women leaders have more advantages over men.

D.Women leaders perform better in some fields.

35.According to Cecilia Qi, what is a major challenge for women?

A.Women have no chance to succeed in the digital age.

B.Women are treated unfairly in pursuing a successful career.

C.Women need support to achieve a balance between work and life.

D.The world is too complex for women to achieve their dreams.

A lot of people think that they are good at learning a new language.36

Good language learners look for opportunities to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom on a daily basis and consequently learn the language more quickly.37For instance, they can talk to salesmen, join sports clubs, or even talk to people in coffee stores. They might read newspapers and magazines in that language, watch movies, listen to podcasts, or join chat rooms. All of these are great opportunities to practice and can also be fun.

In addition, good language learners try different ways to make their message understood. For example, if they do not know the word for “laundromat,”  they might say “the place where you can wash clothes.”38_The point is that good language learners are creative and do not easily give up.

Finally, good language learners are prepared to take risks.39_As a result, instead of being embarrassed by a mistake or getting frustrated when they do not understand, they see it as gaining a learning opportunity. For example, if they do not understand what someone said the first time, they are not afraid to ask them to repeat it again and again until they do understand. Or, if someone corrects their vocabulary or grammar, they try to remember instead of becoming shy about speaking.

40_It cannot be done in just a few months. Hopefully, these methods will help you be a good and confident language learner in the long run.

A.Becoming fluent in a language takes time.

B.But we can learn a new language through looking up new words.

C.If that does not work, they might even try drawing it or acting it out.

D.Besides, good language learners use various ways to learn English words.

E.They understand that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn.

F.If they're studying in a country where the language is spoken, this is easy to do.

G.However, we can learn from good language learners to become better at languages.

Julia always enjoyed running through The Dark Walk towards the light at the end of it. It was a dark，damp tunnel（隧道）made of smooth branches. This year she had the extra joy of showing it to her small brother, Stephen, and of terrifying him as well as herself.

One day they found a hole on one side of the walk. Inside there was water, in which they noticed a panting trout（喘息的鳟鱼）.They were both so excited that they were no longer afraid of the darkness as they bent down and peered at the fish panting in his tiny prison， his silver stoma（气门） going up and down like an engine, otherwise he was motionless. Julia wondered what he ate and thought of his hunger. She found him a worm. He ignored the food, and just went on panting. Bending over him, she thought how he had been in there. All the winter, in the dark tunnel, all day, all night, floating around alone.

Nobody knew how the fish got there. Her mother suggested that a bird had carried the egg. Her father thought that in the winter a small stream might have carried it down there as a baby, and it had been safe until summer came and the water began to dry up.

Before they went to bed,  Stephen asked his mummy the whole story of the trout, not really interested in the actual trout, but in the story which his mum began to make up for him. Julia in her bed, presented her back to them（背对着他们）and read her book. But she kept one ear cocked（竖起耳朵）. “And so, in the end, the naughty fish got bigger and bigger, and the water got smaller and smaller...”Passionately, she turned around and cried, “Mummy, don’t make it a horrible old moral story.” Her mom had even brought in a fairy（仙子），who had made it rain and filled the hole，so that the trout could float away down the river below. Staring at the moon, she knew there was no such thing as a fairy and that the trout, down in the tunnel, was panting for his life.

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。

She sat up in the silent night and Stephen was sound asleep.                         

Julia poured the trout out of the pot into the river.

Recently a survey has been carried out on whether or not you take notes in class among all the 2105 senior students. The results concerning it are as follows.

As the diagram shows, only a quarter of the students surveyed often take notes in class, which helps to get their studies improved, while about 37% of the students attempt to, but they find it difficult to balance listening and taking notes, hopeful of their teachers' guidance. It is surprising that about/around/approximately 38% of the students have never taken notes, for the reason that they have no idea what to take in class.

As far as I am concerned, our teachers had better instruct students how to take notes in class and check our notes after class so that we will feel it a responsibility to take notes timely and thus make more progress.

参考范文（二）

She sat up in the silent night and Stephen was sound asleep. She slipped out of the bedroom and dashed to the poor trout with a pot. Although she was scared in the darkness, a sense of responsibility welled up in her heart. “Never can the small hole be your prison.” She murmured to the panting creature, “but how can I rescue you from the deep hole?" Suddenly, it dawned on her that maybe she could fill the hole with water like a fairy. Next three hours witnessed Julia's effort in filling the hole with the water fetched from the river nearby. Finally, she grasped it, put it into the pot and raced out to the river.

Julia poured the trout out of the pot into the river. Staring at the disappearing trout, Julia was alive with excitement, a wave of happiness flooding over her. Without any delay, she charged back home like an arrow（箭）and announced the news to the whole family. Having confirmed what she had done，her parents gave a thumbs up（竖起大拇指）to praise her. “You must be the very fairy” yelled Stephen，his eyes twinkling like a diamond. The bright smile from everyone lit up The Dark Walk. Hadn’t it been for Julia’s bravery and Mom's weird（离奇的，怪诞的）story, the trout couldn't have run through the dark hole towards the light river.
