阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.
Yellow Hostel

If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace

If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel

If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.

21. What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?

22. Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?

23. What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?

B

The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon. The man, Brandon Jones was writing for his mother-in-law, who loved the dish. He explained that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.

Steve Chu, one of the Asian fusion restaurant’s co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with another suggestion, ”Thanks for reaching out, “he wrote. ”We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”

For the past six years, every time Brandon’s mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that dish. “She had always told us, ‘When I’m on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli (花椰菜),’” recalls Brandon’s wife, Rina Jones.

That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu prepared all the food ingredients (原料) and then headed for Vermont with his business partner and an employee. They stayed overnight in an Airbnb rental and drove the next day to where Rina’s mother lived. After cooking and boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door.

“As soon as she opened the door, she recognized the amazing smell,” Brandon says.

Rina says her mother also recognized Chu and his coworkers. “My mom kept saying, ‘You drove all the way up here to cook for me?’ She was so happy and touched to have that broccoli.”

“It was an honor to help make the family’s wishes come true,” Chu says.“There was a lot of good positive energy in doing this.” Rina was happy that her mother was able to enjoy her beloved broccoli with a side order of excellent kindness one last time.“My mom cried later about their generosity, and so did I.” Rina says.“I’ll carry that positive memory with me always.”

24．Why did Brandon send the e-mail to Ekiben restaurant?

A．To invite the owner to cook for his mother-in-law.

B．To ask the owner to treat his mother-in-law.

C．To learn how to cook the dish for his mother-in-law.

D．To enjoy the food himself.

25．What do we know about Steve Chu from the passage?

A．He was generous to his coworkers.

B．He felt honored to deliver positive energy to the family.

C．He had a strong desire for charity.

D．He was unwilling to share the recipe with others.

26．How did Brandon’s mother-in-law feel when she saw Chu and his coworkers?

A．Puzzled and amazed. B．Surprised and moved.

C．Anxious and thankful. D．Stressed and concerned.

27．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．Kindness ,delivered. B．A generous restaurant owner.

C．Positive memory, valued. D．A special order.

C

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.

At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

28. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?

A．Beautifying the city he lives in.  B．Introducing eco-friendly products.

C．Reducing garbage on the beach.  D．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.

29. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

30. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

D

Social media often report concerns like the spread of misinformation, hate speech, and only listening to people that you agree with. That is what we call echo chamber. But how can we really break it apart? One way, make friends, especially friends of another race.

I know most people have few black friends. Many people, many white people, could easily go their whole lives without ever getting to know someone of another race, which requires effort.

Making a new friend is a hard period. Making a friend of another race is harder yet. You don’t have common experience and instant friendship. And, for Black people, going out of our way to make a white friend requires trust. And this is not to say that white people should go seek out strangers or acquaintances (熟人) and say, tell me about your Black experience. Do not do that. That’s not friendship. That’s a trade.

Real friendship means a willingness to listen carefully, and have your views challenged, because your Black friend doesn’t see the world the same way you do. It’s going to require you to do the important work of earning and offering trust, so that, if you make a mistake or misstep, you will have some good will to fall back on. But even before that, it starts with stepping outside your comfort zone. A different social circle isn’t just going to fall in your lap. You’re going to have to think carefully about where you live and where your children go to school, the activities you take part in. That’s because it’s going to be impossible to create a meaningful connection with someone of another race if you’re only around people who look like you. So, these friendships are going to require putting actions behind intentions.

32．What does “it” in the paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Social media.     B．Hate speech.    C．Echo chamber.     D．Wrong information.

33．In the author’s opinion,__________.

Ait is beneficial to make a friend of another race

B．most people are willing to make friends of another race.

C．friendship with the black needs common experience

D．it’s unnecessary for the white to make friends of another race

34．What is the author’s attitude to going seek out Black strangers?

A．Unclear..B．Favorable. C．Unconcerned.D．Unfavorable.

35．What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph?

A．Counting on people alike.

B．Laying stress on actions rather than intentions.

C．Seeing eye to eye with our Black friends.

D．Living with different races.

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。

One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is that their friends just aren’t there for them. More than that, sometimes friends are downright (彻头彻尾地) rude or even mean. You can’t change people, but you can surround yourself with more positive people.     36   

With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it, because the chances are that they will be there for you without your begging.     37     As Dotdash states, ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, and wisdom when you’re lost.

There are also friends who might snipe (抨击) at you or even laugh at you behind your back. Those people celebrate the downfall of others.     38    Friends of this kind will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling.

    39     For example, perhaps you always want to be a writer. The negative people in your life will probably tell you all the reasons why you won’t succeed. Maybe you have already gone over the reasons why you might fail and this is what has prevented you from trying. But with positive people in your life,you’ll feel more comfortable sharing these types of goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life.

You naturally attract the kind of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a sad person, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you.     40    The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return.

A．After all, birds of a feather flock together.

B．Positive friends will inspire you to be the best that you can be.

C．Here are some benefits of spending time with positive friends.

D．The same is true for the opposite.

E．Positive friends will help you recover from negative hits.

F．Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will back you when you’re depressed.

G．You’ll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation you’re dealing with.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.

“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”

Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.

Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.

I was utterly dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的). 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!

“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher.

My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.

Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.

One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.

The day finally came!

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。

With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could.

As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line.
