My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.
29. From the story, we can learn that the boy ________.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose
B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to think about what he had done
D. didn’t know what the teacher would find out
30. The boy never thought he would ________ if he admitted guilt.
A. be punished by the teacher B. make his father angry
C. pay for the broken window D. get a bird field guide
31. Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings?
A. Afraid — Surprised — Thankful.
B. Frightened — Amazed — Proud.
C. Regretful — Guilty — Excited.
D. Nervous — Afraid — Satisfied.
32. What is the lesson the boy’s teacher taught him?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Honesty is always valued.
C. Bad luck never comes alone. D. It’s never too late to be careful.
C
More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible.” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.
33. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation.
C. It is increasingly popular. D. It is required by universities.
34. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year .
A. are better prepared for college studies
B. know a lot more about their future jobs
C. are more likely to leave university in debt
D. have a better chance to enter top universities
35. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A. He’s puzzled. B. He’s worried.
C. He’s surprised. D. He’s annoyed.
36. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term.
C. Earn money for their education. D. Prepare for their graduate studies.
D
For Deaf People, Face Masks with Windows Mean More Than Smiles
For the last few months, Michael Conley has felt very alone. Conley is a deaf man, and he reads lips to understand what people are saying to him. However, people have been wearing masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19, a new virus that spreads from person to person when infected people breathe out virus particles (颗粒).
People who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate in many different ways. Some might learn to read lips. Many people also use American Sign Language (ASL). It is a way to communicate using gestures and signs for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.
For both reading lips and ASL, being able to see someone's face and facial expressions is critically important. Particularly for ASL, facial expressions play a role in grammar and wording.
Helping Lip Readers See Mouths Move
Conley told his co-worker, Chris LaZich, about his situation. LaZich asked her friend, Helton, for help. Ingrid Helton is a costume designer with the San Diego Opera. She makes masks with plastic windows for hearing people to wear, making it possible for lip readers to see mouths move.
For a long time, lip readers have struggled to understand hospital workers who wear masks. The problem has only gotten worse during COVID- 19. Many interpreters for the deaf have not been able to enter hospitals because they could catch the virus.
More Challenges For Deaf People
Now, more people are wearing masks outside of hospitals, too. This creates even more challenges for deaf people.
When people began wearing masks, Conley felt cut off from the world. Since he could not read lips, he did not know when people were speaking to him or what they were saying.
Conley was nervous to go to the pharmacy or the grocery store. Once, he felt so nervous to enter his favorite restaurant that he waited outside for 45 minutes. He did not know what he would do if a masked worker asked him questions about his order. Luckily, the employee recognized him and pulled down her mask to talk to Conley. Conley was grateful for her action.
Not everyone knows Conley, though, and would not know he is deaf. He carries pieces of paper with him so he can ask people to write what they are saying. This way, other people don't have to remove their mask. However, it also means touching the same paper, Touching common surfaces can spread germs. Spreading germs risks contracting COVID-19. Because of that, Conley was refused service many times.
“It makes you lose your confidence,” said Conley, who has been deaf his entire life. However, Helton's windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZich's lips.
37. Where can you probably read the passage?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a diary.
C. In a guidebook. D. In a medical report.
38. How did Conley feel when people began to wear masks?
A. He felt the situation couldn't be changed. B. He felt it difficult to recognize people.
C. He felt cut off from the world. D. He felt lonely and angry.
39. What is the special value of windowed masks for deaf people?
A. To help them meet other deaf people. B. To keep them safe from COVID-19.
C. To comfort them emotionally. D. To satisfy their social needs.
40. Which of the following could be the best ending of the passage?
A. Soon she started her company called Happy Laugh Masks.
B. The windowed masks helped slow the spread of the virus.
C. Through her mask's window, LaZich smiled at him.
D. Helton said store owners liked the masks as well.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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选项。
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___41___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___42___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___43___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___44___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___45___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.
29. From the story, we can learn that the boy ________.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose
B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to think about what he had done
D. didn’t know what the teacher would find out
30. The boy never thought he would ________ if he admitted guilt.
A. be punished by the teacher B. make his father angry
C. pay for the broken window D. get a bird field guide

C. Bad luck never comes alone. D. It’s never too late to be careful.

C
More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible.” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £ 15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.
33. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation.
C. It is increasingly popular. D. It is required by universities.
34. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year .
A. are better prepared for college studies
B. know a lot more about their future jobs
C. are more likely to leave university in debt
D. have a better chance to enter top universities
35. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A. He’s puzzled. B. He’s worried.
C. He’s surprised. D. He’s annoyed.
36. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term.
C. Earn money for their education. D. Prepare for their graduate studies.
【答案】33. C 34. A 35. B 36. C

【33题详解】
C 推理判断题。由短文第一段More students than ever before are taking a gap year (间隔年) before going to university. 及第三段第一句话That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. 可知间隔年越来越受到欢迎，因此选C。
【34题详解】
A 细节理解题。由人名定位到短文第三段。根据第三段他说的话Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible可知他在说它的优点，有间隔年之后再去上大学，会让人更成熟有责任感，对大学的学习有帮助。故选A。
【35题详解】
B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段But not everyone is happy.然后提到Owain argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.可知他说认为越来越多的学生选择gap year 是因为他们会在gap year期间去挣大学的费用，他们是被迫的，所以，对此表示担忧。故选B。
【36题详解】
C细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话 NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods可知：90%的学生要在假期挣学费。

For Deaf People, Face Masks with Windows Mean More Than Smiles
For the last few months, Michael Conley has felt very alone. Conley is a deaf man, and he reads lips to understand what people are saying to him. However, people have been wearing masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19, a new virus that spreads from person to person when infected people breathe out virus particles (颗粒).
People who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate in many different ways. Some might learn to read lips. Many people also use American Sign Language (ASL). It is a way to communicate using gestures and signs for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.
For both reading lips and ASL, being able to see someone's face and facial expressions is critically important. Particularly for ASL, facial expressions play a role in grammar and wording.
Helping Lip Readers See Mouths Move
Conley told his co-worker, Chris LaZich, about his situation. LaZich asked her friend, Helton, for help. Ingrid Helton is a costume designer with the San Diego Opera. She makes masks with plastic windows for hearing people to wear, making it possible for lip readers to see mouths move.
For a long time, lip readers have struggled to understand hospital workers who wear masks. The problem has only gotten worse during COVID- 19. Many interpreters for the deaf have not been able to enter hospitals because they could catch the virus.
More Challenges For Deaf People
Now, more people are wearing masks outside of hospitals, too. This creates even more challenges for deaf people.
When people began wearing masks, Conley felt cut off from the world. Since he could not read lips, he did not know when people were speaking to him or what they were saying.
Conley was nervous to go to the pharmacy or the grocery store. Once, he felt so nervous to enter his favorite restaurant that he waited outside for 45 minutes. He did not know what he would do if a masked worker asked him questions about his order. Luckily, the employee recognized him and pulled down her mask to talk to Conley. Conley was grateful for her action.
Not everyone knows Conley, though, and would not know he is deaf. He carries pieces of paper with him so he can ask people to write what they are saying. This way, other people don't have to remove their mask. However, it also means touching the same paper, Touching common surfaces can spread germs. Spreading germs risks contracting COVID-19. Because of that, Conley was refused service many times.
“It makes you lose your confidence,” said Conley, who has been deaf his entire life. However, Helton's windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZich's lips.
37. Where can you probably read the passage?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a diary.
C. In a guidebook. D. In a medical report.
38. How did Conley feel when people began to wear masks?
A. He felt the situation couldn't be changed. B. He felt it difficult to recognize people.
C. He felt cut off from the world. D. He felt lonely and angry.
39. What is the special value of windowed masks for deaf people?
A. To help them meet other deaf people. B. To keep them safe from COVID-19.
C. To comfort them emotionally. D. To satisfy their social needs.
40. Which of the following could be the best ending of the passage?
A. Soon she started her company called Happy Laugh Masks.
B. The windowed masks helped slow the spread of the virus.
C. Through her mask's window, LaZich smiled at him.
D. Helton said store owners liked the masks as well.

细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中“When people began wearing masks, Conley felt cut off from the world.(当人们开始戴口罩时，Conley感到与世界隔绝了)”可知，当人们开始戴口罩时，Conley感到与世界隔绝了。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“For both reading lips and ASL, being able to see someone's face and facial expressions is critically important. Particularly for ASL, facial expressions play a role in grammar and wording.(对于读唇语和美国手语来说，能够看到别人的面部表情是非常重要的。尤其是对美国手语来说，面部表情在语法和措辞中扮演着重要的角色)”；第五段中“For a long time, lip readers have struggled to understand hospital workers who wear masks.(很长一段时间以来，读唇语的人很难听懂戴着口罩的医务人员的话)”以及最后一段中“However, Helton's windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZich's lips.(然而，Helton的带窗口口罩帮助他重新获得了独立。Conley和他的同事Chris LaZich尝试了这些口罩，他毫不费力地读懂了LaZich的唇语)”可推知，对聋人来说，带窗口罩的特殊价值在于可以满足他们的社交需求。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It makes you lose your confidence,” said Conley, who has been deaf his entire life. However, Helton's windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZich's lips.(“这会让你失去信心，”Conley说，他一生失聪。然而，Helton的带窗口罩帮助他重新获得了独立。Conley和他的同事Chris LaZich尝试了这些口罩，他毫不费力地读懂了LaZich的唇语)”可推知，最后一段最后一句提到了Conley毫不费力地读懂了LaZich的唇语，可知本句应当是在承接上文说明Conley看到了什么，故C选项“LaZich透过面具的窗户对他微笑”更符合语境，是文章最好的结尾，也与文章标题“For Deaf People, Face Masks with Windows Mean More Than Smiles(对于聋人来说，带窗口罩不仅仅意味着微笑)”相呼应。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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选项。
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___41___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___42___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___43___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___44___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___45___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D . To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D .
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
【答案】41. E 42. A 43. G 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气对人体的各种好处。
【41题详解】
根据下一句中“the answer is a big YES”可知，该空应该是一个一般疑问句，选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。E项“但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？”承上启下，故选E。空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选项中的“your mother always said”亦是呼应。
【42题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知，新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的，充满活力的氧气。再根据下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是对前文的递进，在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知，该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用，根据常识，我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部”。
【43题详解】
根据下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词，故G项“在全国，康复中心已经开始建造‘康复花园’。”these places就是指Healing Gardens。
【44题详解】
前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用：绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力，降低血压，使人情绪良好；空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用，仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环境中的好处，空后的it也要指代这种情况。故选C项“身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。”
【45题详解】
根据下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知，该段介绍阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D项“获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。”
