She was always forgetting things, like where she put the sugar and what time to have dinner.“She might have Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症),” her mother said. “We might have to put her in a nursing home so she can get proper care.”“Oh, that’s terrible! She’ll miss her own house!” Eleanor said.“Maybe, but we can see her on weekends,” her mother answered. “We can bring her presents.”“Like ice cream? Grandma loves strawberry ice cream!” Eleanor said.The first time they visited Grandma, Eleanor felt sad and wanted to cry. Grandma sat in the corner of the room lonely. Eleanor hugged Grandma. “Look,” she said, “we brought you strawberry ice cream!” Grandma took it and began eating without saying a word.“She doesn’t seem to know us.” Eleanor was upset. “Grandma, do you know who I am?” Eleanor asked. “You’re the girl who brings me the ice cream,” Grandma said. “Yes, but I’m Eleanor, too, your granddaughter. Don’t you remember me?” “Sure. You’re the girl who brings me ice cream.” Suddenly Eleanor realized that Grandma would never remember her. “Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said. Just then she saw a tear roll down Grandma’s cheek. “Love,” she said. “I remember love.”“You see, dear, that’s all she wants,” her mother said. “Love.”“I’ll bring her ice cream every weekend then, and hug her even if she doesn’t remember me,” Eleanor said.

However, in many rural (农村的) areas or poor regions, people have to wash their clothes by hand because they don’t have electricity or money to buy the machines. Now, a new bamboo washing machine might help them solve this problem. The machine is a simpler form of a traditional washing machine. There are two main parts: the main washing machine, which can be shared among the community, and a wooden bucket that belongs to individuals or families. The machine uses the natural flow (流动) of water instead of electricity. It has a wooden rotation shaft in the center and a bamboo drum outside. You just put the machine in a river and water will go into the bottom of the machine and rotate the main drum. This creates an eddy (涡流) that cleans clothes. A 7-member team from the School of Design at Dalian Minzu University created the machine. Their design won the “Best of the Best” prize at the 2020 Red Dot Awards. “There are 836 million people living in poor areas in the world. They have to spend lots of time and energy doing little things like washing clothes. We want the bamboo washing machine to help them free up their time so they can do more meaningful things, like fighting poverty,” said Pan Cheng, one of the designers.“The best thing about this machine is that it’s cheap and easy to make,” said Yu Yue, another designer. “We give people the rotation shaft and teach them how to set up the machine. They can find bamboo locally and make it into drums. If there is no bamboo, they can also use materials like wood.”The designers said they spent more than half a year working on the machine. They had countless team meetings and changed their design at least four times. But in the end, they were happy with the results.  27. The bamboo washing machine was created for people who _____.A. live in big cities   B. want to save powerC. live in the wild   D. live in poor areas28. How can the bamboo washing machine work?① Put the machine into a river.② Eddy in the machine cleans clothes.③ Water goes into the bottom of the machine.④ Water in the drum drives the wooden rotation shaft.A. ①②③④    B. ①③④②C. ③①②④    D. ③④①②29. From the passage, we can learn that _____.A. it took the designers more than a year to make the drumB. Pen Cheng grew up in a rural area without much electricityC. people can learn to set up the machine from the designersD. seven teachers work together to win the 2020 Red Dot Awards 30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Winning the best prize B. Making rural life easierC. How to fight for the poorD. How to make the machineDYou might be looking for new ways to improve your understanding of something you are studying. Perhaps you are trying to find better methods to remember important information. One way to help you reach these goals is to try teaching – not as a job, but as a way to improve your own learning.Researchers have been interested in the link between teaching and learning for quite some time. Their findings suggested that teaching had a strong effect(影响) on understanding and learning. When students teach the content (内容) of a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material than from only preparing to teach.Scientists have also explored the question of why teaching improves learning. A 2018 study suggests that teaching may help your learning because you have to remember the information you have learned as you continue to teach. Experts call this retrieval. The researchers wrote that “retrieval practice possibly causes the learning benefits from teaching.” Of course, retrieval may be one reason that teaching helps learning, there could be other reasons. The good news is that there are many ways that you can improve your learning by teaching. One way might be to teach your family or friends about something that you are learning. For example, you could teach your parents about English grammar or vocabulary. You could also try teaching a younger person, perhaps a cousin, brother or sister. Try to make your lessons simple and clear, and ask them what they do not understand. The process of teaching and asking for feedback(反馈) will help you realize that you may not understand some things as well as you thought you did. That is an important, necessary step in the learning process. Another idea is to imagine yourself describing a lesson to someone, or to write the lesson down. In the Guardian newspaper, David Robson suggests that you could write an email describing what you have learned in great detail. A final idea for those who like technology: You could record video of yourself teaching information. You could then send the lesson to friends or put it on some other social media service.Give teaching a try, it may improve your learning. 31. The words “retrieval practice” in paragraph 3 probably mean _______.A. writing down the answers B. looking for the materials C. exploring what you have taught D. remembering what you have learned32. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?   A. Ideas for how to start teaching.   B. Ways on how to record the video.   C. Suggestions on making your lessons simple.   D. Benefits of describing something in details.33. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To show us the importance of teaching by learning.B. To encourage us to improve our learning by teaching.C. To explain the differences between teaching and learning.D. To tell us how to step in the learning process successfully. 四、阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共5分，每小题1分）Growing hope For most Chinese people, rice is an important part of almost every meal. But for Yuan Longping, rice was more than that. It was his life-long career.Yuan, known as China’s “father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻)”, created hybrid rice that helps feed the world. On May 22, Yuan died at 91. People around the world were sad to hear of his passing.How did he begin?In the 1960s, people in China didn’t have enough food to eat. Many people even died because of this. Yuan was sad to see this. At the time, other scientists didn’t think hybrid rice had much value. But Yuan worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds. At last, in 1973, he grew a new type of hybrid rice. This rice is different from other kinds of rice. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can fight disease, too. With the new type, about 70,000,000 people could have food every year!Home on the farm Yuan was a famous scientist. But he called himself a farmer. He spent most of his time in the field. Yuan himself also said, “If I am not at home, I must be on the farmland; if I am not on the farmland, I must be on my way to the farmland.” He often rode a motorcycle to work, as this was more convenient for him. Praise for YuanIn 1991, the United Nations invited Yuan Longping to work as its chief consultant (首席顾问). He traveled to many foreign countries to share his knowledge of hybrid rice. “Professor Yuan made such a powerful contribution and he will long be remembered,” Barbara Stinson, president of the World Food Prize Foundation said. 34. What did Yuan Longping create? 35. Did Chinese people have enough food to eat in the 1960s? 36. How is hybrid rice different from other kinds of rice?37. Where did Yuan Longping spend most of his time?38. Why did he travel to many foreign countries?书面表达（共15分）五、翻译句子（共5分，每小题1分）39. 我们过去常常听收音机。_____________________________________________________________40. 他用了半个小时的时间刷盘子。_____________________________________________________________41. 我一看完就把书还给你。_____________________________________________________________42. 我的英语老师在我的生活中起了重要的作用。_____________________________________________________________43. 我告诉妈妈我会尽最大的努力成为一个好孩子。_____________________________________________________________六、文段表达(10分)根据中文和英文提示，用英文写一封意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的文段。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。44. 温暖是什么？温暖是临出门前父母的一声声叮咛在心中泛起的波澜；温暖是在最无助时一个陌生人的问候与援助；温暖是在心中困惑时朋友的倾听。温暖是……。某英文网站正在开展以"温暖"为主题的征文活动。假如你是李华,请用英语写一篇短文投稿,谈谈生活中曾经让你感到温暖的事情。内容包括事情发展的时间、地点和经过。 提示词语：last Friday, rain heavily, umbrella, feel warm提示问题： ● When and where did it happen? ● What happened?As we know, we may feel warm at anytime and anywhere. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
