Two-year-old Samantha Savitz is deaf and loves interacting with her neighbors, so they all learned sign language in order to communicate with her better. The little girl is just so charming and adorable that it’s hard not to want to be able to have simple conversations with her.
In the United States，about two to four of every 1,000 people are functionally deaf—about 2 million people. Around 28 million Americans, 10% of the population，have some degree of hearing loss. Around 500, 000 deaf people in the country use American Sign Language (ASL), and it's the third most commonly used language in the US; many hearing people are also fluent in ASL. With so many people using ASL, it's only right that Savitz's neighbors learn the language，not only for her but also to be able to communicate with other deaf people.
Located at the end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusells, this little neighborhood is absolutely charmed by one little girl. Savitz is a super engaging girl, and she loves interacting with people in her community. She is delighted when they are able to sign with her. However, she gets really sad when they can't understand her when she tries to communicate with them. Because of this, Savitz's neighbors collectively hired an instructor for ASL classes. With the help of their instructor, Rhys McGovern, the neighbors are able to help Savitz feel a sense of belonging.
What the neighbors did for this little girl is wonderful because she will grow up being well-adjusted in society .Instead of feeling separated because no one outside of her family will understand her, Savitz will be accustomed to constantly interacting with different people. Her family is so thankful that they are fortunate to have such caring and compassionate neighbors. Savitz calls her neighbors “friends,” and accurately so.
Other than speaking with the darling of their neighborhood, the residents of Islington Road will also be able to communicate with any other deaf person they encounter. “We are really enjoying the whole process，not only the learning of ASL, but the learning together,” says McNeil, one of Savitz’s neighbors. “It's made our neighborhood a closer place.”
24．Why does the author present the figures in paragraph 2?
A．To recommend people to learn ASL. B．To show why the ASL class is appealing.
C．To stress how terrible the life of the deaf is. D．To account for Savitz's neighbors’ learning ASL.
25．How does little Savitz feel when her neighbors are able to communicate with her?
A．Proud. B．Pleased. C．Confused. D．Surprised.
26．What does Rhys McGovern do for Savitz?
A．He teaches her neighbors ASL. B．He guides her to interact with her neighbors.
C．He hired an instructor for her neighbors. D．He called on her neighbors to help her.
27．What lesson can we learn from the story?
A．Many heads are better than one.
B．Help others and be happy with yourself.
C．You can't hide the world from your next neighbor.
D．The poor are good to themselves and the good for the world.

C
When we sleep, our brains clear out the memories we've made while we're awake, deciding what to keep and what to discard. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of a study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different stages of sleep.
The team found that during the rapid eye movement （REM） sleep stage, when active sleep happens and we are thought to dream, special nerve（神经）cells appear to actively lead to forgetting. What are known as MCH neurons（神经元）sit in the hypothalamus ——a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns.
The team looked at MCH neurons in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, compared with 35 percent when the mice were awake. They also turned MCH neurons on and off during memory tests. MCH cells appeared to send messages to the part of the brain to stop the formation of memories.
Study co-author Thomas Kilduff said the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were inhibited（受抑制）.“This result suggests that stimulation of the MCH neurons may disturb memory strengthening - that is, MCH neurons may help forgetting," Kilduff explained.
Asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, "There is research argument about the role of sleep-in learning and memory, specifically, whether REM sleep, slow-wave sleep or both types of sleep are important for memory strengthening."
Kilduff acknowledged the study was conducted only on mice, not on humans. Also, mice are animals that remain active at night, with periods of sleeping and being awake distributed throughout the day and night, whereas most humans have a single sleep period that usually occurs at night, he said.
28．What does the underlined word “discard" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Get rid of. B．Bring in.
C．Make use of. D．Dream about.
29．What can we learn about MCH neurons in mice during REM sleep?
A．All of them are active.
B．Over half of them are functioning.
C．Most of them can control emotions.
D．35 percent of them can refresh memories.
30．What did Kilduff think of the result of the study?
A．It was highly questioned. B．It helps explain dreams.
C．It could apply to all people. D．It was limited in some way.
31．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Entertainment. B．Sports.
C．Tech and Science. D．Culture.
D
Scientific experts have warned that deadly pandemics(大流行病) are likely to keep happening if action is not taken to protect natural environments. The warning came in a report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, an international expert group that advises governments. The group has more than 130 member states.
The experts called for major efforts aimed at preventing pandemics rather than trying to contain them after they happen. The report urges major worldwide efforts to stop habitat destruction that can lead viruses to jump from wild animals to humans.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that three out of every four new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from animals. Scientists have said COVID-19 probably started in bats and began spreading among humans.
In their report, the experts predict that about half of an estimated 1.7 million undiscovered viruses in nature might be able to infect people. Activities such as poaching(偷猎) or clearing forests to grow soy or palm oil can bring humans and disease closer together.
Peter Daszak was the report’s lead writer. He is president of EcoHealth Alliance, an international health, environment and development organization. He said in a statement that even though the experts call for urgent action, “this report is not a misfortune suggesting the world’s going to end and it’s too late.” Instead, Daszak said it should be seen as “an optimistic call for action.”
He noted that the current method for dealing with pandemics is to wait for them to emerge and then try to identify them before they spread. COVID-19 has demonstrated the problems with that plan. Officials attempted to contain COVID-19 after the disease was discovered last year, but it was already too late. “And here we are waiting for a vaccine(疫苗) and drugs to work,” Daszak said. “It’s not a good strategy. We need to do more.”
32．Why does the aim of urging habitat protection need major world efforts?
A．To prevent viruses spreading from animals to humans.
B．To stop illegal poaching and forest destruction.
C．To control pandemics after they happen.
D．To strengthen international cooperation.
33．How many natural viruses might infect humans?
A．About 1.7 million. B．About 0.85 million.
C．About three fourths. D．About 130.
34．What might be good strategy according to Peter Daszak?
A．Waiting for pandemics to appear.
B．Expecting effective vaccines and drugs.
C．Investigating pandemics after they appear.
D．Acting earlier and more actively to explore more
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Advice from Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform.
B．Experts’ Views on Disease Control and Prevention.
C．More Deadly Pandemics if Nature Not Protected.
D．Unstoppably Increasing Pandemics.

Start by questioning assumptions about the way you’ve gotten used to doing things. Then, change it up a bit.
38． It’s important to take your work seriously, but that doesn’t mean you have to take yourself too seriously. Happiness matters. And, it’s important to have fun at work. So, allow yourself to have some laughs and some fun with friends at work from time to time.

Dear Jim,
I am delighted to know you are curious about the lecture delivering in my school last month. Here, I’d like to share some detail about it.
To solve the conflict with parents and build more harmony relationship, our school held a lecture Build a Bridge of Communication with Parents, which turned out a huge success. That impressed me most was the communication skills. When we made mistakes, we should make an apology for parents sincerely. Unless they did something wrong, we should stand in our shoes, understanding and forgiving them. In the end, the lecturer had appealed to us to show more respect and love to our parents.
From now on, I made up my mind to greet my parents more in gentle voice and care about them with all my heart. I do hope my letter will help you get the whole picture of the lecture.
Y ours,
Li Hua

The moment that moved me
Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m honored to stand here and present my speech. Everyone must have experienced a touching moment, and I’d like to share mine with you.
It was a rainy summer afternoon several months ago. I was going home by bus after school. It was the rush hour, so there was heavy traffic on the road. A great number of cars and buses were waiting in line. Suddenly our bus driver rushed out. He ran to an old lady who was struggling to cross the road slowly. All the passengers and cars were waiting patiently without any complaints while the driver was helping the old lady cross the road safely. What a touching moment!
If everyone cares for others, we will live in a harmonious world full of love, which benefits us all!
Thanks for your listening！

33．【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“In their report, the experts predict that about half of an estimated 1.7 million undiscovered viruses in nature might be able to infect people. （在他们的报告中，专家们预测，自然界约170万未被发现的病毒中，大约有一半可能会感染人类。）”可知，约有85万种天然病毒可以感染人类。故选B项。
34．【答案】D

We need to do more.”（去年发现COVID-19后，官员们试图控制疫情，但已经太晚了。达扎克说：“我们在这里等待疫苗和药物发挥作用。”“这不是一个好策略。我们需要做得更多。”）”可知，彼得·达扎克认为应该尽早行动，积极探索更多策略。故选D项。

61．【答案】called
【解析】考查过去分词。句意：在新西兰南岛的北端，有一个长长的沙洲，叫做永别沙洲。动词call意为“叫做”，和逻辑主语a long bar of sand构成被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。

63．【答案】themselves

【解析】考查名词复数。句意：救援人员花了几个小时试图让它们浮起来，但有100只死亡。结合句子结构和句意可知，此处应用指人的名词rescuer“救援者”作主语。结合语境可知，救援人员不止一人，故用复数形式。故填Rescuers。
65．【答案】broke

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分）
这是一篇应用文。在信中，作者介绍了学校举办的“搭建与家长沟通的桥梁”的讲座。
71.【答案】delivering→delivered
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：我很高兴知道你对我们学校上个月举办的讲座感到好奇。deliver“发表”是及物动词，和所修饰的名词lecture之间是被动关系，应用其过去分词形式作定语。故将delivering改为delivered。
72.【答案】detail→details
【解析】考查名词单复数。句意：在这里，我想分享一些关于它的细节。detail“细节”是可数名词，前面有some修饰，应用其复数形式。故将detail改为details。
73.【答案】harmony→harmonious
【解析】考查形容词。句意：为了解决与家长的矛盾，建立更和谐的关系，我校举办了“搭建与家长沟通的桥梁”的讲座，取得了巨大的成功。名词relationship需要形容词修饰，名词harmony的形容词为harmonious，和前面more构成比较级。故将harmony改为harmonious。
74.【答案】That→What
【解析】考查主语从句引导词。句意：给我印象最深的是沟通技巧。根据句意可知，主语从句引导词应用what，作从句主语，意为“……的事情”。故将That改为What。
75.【答案】for→to
【解析】考查介词。句意：当我们犯错误的时候，我们应该真诚地向父母道歉。make an apology to sb意为“向某人道歉”；make an apology for sth意为“为某事道歉”，介词to符合句意。故将for改为to 。
76.【答案】Unless→If/When
【解析】考查从属连词。句意：如果他们做错了什么，我们应该站在他们的立场上，理解他们，原谅他们。根据句意可知，“they did something wrong”是后文的条件，不是否定含义，需要if引导条件状语从句（when“如果”相当于if）。故将Unless改为If/When。
77.【答案】our→their
【解析】考查代词。句意：如果他们做错了什么，我们应该站在他们的立场上，理解他们，原谅他们。根据句意可知，我们应该站在他们的立场上，才能理解他们，原谅他们。站在“我们的”立场上，不合逻辑。故将our改为their 。
78.【答案】made→make
【解析】考查时态。句意：最后，讲座呼吁我们对父母表现出更多的尊重和爱。根据上文可知，这里是讲述过去的事情，句子为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式表达。（过去完成时是一种相对时态，表示“过去的过去"，不符合句意，）故去掉had。
79.【答案】去掉had
【解析】考查时态。句意：从现在开始，我决心用温柔的声音向父母问好，全心全意地关心他们。根据时间状语From now on可知，句子用一般现在时，因主语是I，故将made改为make。
80.【答案】在in后加a
【解析】考查冠词。句意：从现在开始，我决心用温柔的声音向父母问好，全心全意地关心他们。voice“嗓音”是可数名词，in a loud/low（等形容词）voice是习惯用语。故在in后加a。

Today we will talk about Disney’s new movie, Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey. She follows a strange sign and starts a magical journey into another world. On her way, Casey meets a scientist named Frank. Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between time and space, which is named Tomorrowland. According to Britt, the entire movie has been filled with secret things. In fact, she had to put on a short performance many times for the part of Casey before she was allowed to read the script. Once Britt read the story, she was satisfied with it. She felt happy, as if she had just been on an adventurous ride. She was also sad, joyful, and hopeful. She felt a mix of emotions. She was very happy when she found out she got the role. It seems that all her hard work paid off. At last, just as people expect, the movie Tomorrowland is very successful.
