Planting cash crop — cotton, they were breaking even and had to make ends meet. In his childhood, there were nine kids at home. All the boys were in one room with two beds. Two slept at the head while two slept at the foot. Therefore, there was one thing about their feet — washing them before crowding onto the bed.When there was a hole in Arguster's jeans, his mother would put a patch on it. However, the hole kept going. It was the naughty kids, Arguster included, that took the jeans out, hung them on a line and shot them to put holes. Aware of that, however, Ben, the father, didn't rebuke them, knowing it might be the only way to bring laughter to his kids.Arguster's first lesson in economics was taught by Ben. The childish kid had worked and made a little extra money. He couldn't help admiring himself, "I make six dollars! Six dollars! Man! I'm on the top of the world!" With a great thrill, Arguster decided to go to fair, where he played games, ate cotton candy... When asked by Ben how much he had spent, with his head down, Arguster replied, "Daddy, I spent it all..." Looking at his messy hair, Ben sighed, "Boy, you spent all your money and haircut's gone up to 75 cents. I'm afraid..." From then on, Arguster always kept enough money to get himself a haircut.Ben taught his kids how to do the right thing and wanted them to do the right thing, which Ben tried to pass on to his kids, in his own way. Ben started a syrup mill(糖坊). People in the community brought their cane and millet for Ben to grind up'（磨碎） for syrup. When people paid with buckets of syrup, Ben refused. Arguster got confused, "Daddy, why don't you let these people pay you?""Because we got enough syrup to last for a long time! Son, these people don't have money to pay. That's the only way they can pay."4．Why should the kids wash their feet before going to bed?

Every morning, she rolls out of bed, heads to the living room and begins a 45-minute tour of all her plants. Even before brushing her teeth or feeding the dog, Jennifer inspects every leaf.Though she is a little extreme, Jennifer is just one of many plant enthusiasts spending hours a day and thousands of dollars cultivating plant collections in their homes. American gardeners spent a record $76.3 billion on garden last year. A quarter of that spending was attributed to people aged 18 to 34, whose spending on plants has grown at a higher rate than any other age group since 2014.Houseplants should thank social media for their reappearance and growth in popularity. That's how Jennifer was hooked first. Her inability to keep plants alive had always been a running joke. However, while surfing on the Internet, she happened upon an eye-catching photo posted by a plant lover. She followed that account, along with several others over the course of a month or two, and her desire to grow a collection of her own strengthened. Soon, she was fully buried in plant culture. Recently, Jennifer even attended her first local plant swap.It's no secret that millennials（千禧一代）are delaying major life milestones such as buying homes, getting married and having children, largely for financial reasons. “People are designed for connection and nurturing, but with more millennials waiting until later in life to have babies and settle down, young people are turning to plants,” said Lily Ewing. Plants often require less attention than other living things, such as pets, but still provide the opportunity to nurture something. Plants can provide a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose. Ewing added, "Keeping plants around the home or office also allows people to bring nature to their immediate surroundings when it can be hard to find time to get away from the day-to-day busy work and escape to the outdoors."8．Which one can best describe Jennifer's behaviour towards houseplants? A．Reasonably affectionate. B．Somewhat crazy.C．Less enthusiastic. D．Sensibly cautious.9．Why is Jennifer mentioned in the passage?A．To represent the millennials plant enthusiasts.B．To introduce a writer with special affection for plants.C．To compare with other gardeners.D．To show a writer's life with plants.10．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．The functions of social media.B．Jennifer's inability to keep plants.C．The reason for Jennifer's desire for plants. D．The reappearance and growth of plants in popularity.11．Why are the millennials crazy about plants?A．Because they want to get exposed to nature.B．Because they have enough free time to stay indoors.C．Because plants bring them nature and help nurture something.D．Because plants can offer a greater sense of fulfillment than pets.DDogs and horses may not be the closest teammates, but the two animals can have their fair share of fun — at times even playing together and mimicking（模仿）each other's facial expressions, new research suggests. These findings, published in the journal Behavioural Processes, mark the first example of so-called rapid facial mimicry occurring between play partners of different species, and suggest the existence of a universal language of play.Though the purpose behind play remains unclear, scientists suspect the behavior is to help animals develop hunting and social skills, relieve stress or promote relationships with each other. Learning more about the contexts in which different animals play together could tell researchers a lot about play's origins and development. But apart from a handful of studies featuring humans and their pets, scientists haven't had many chances to analyze examples of interspecies' plays.In 2018, when someone sent Palagi, an animal behaviorist, a video where a dog and horse play together, interacting with each other fluently, she took the chance to investigate further. The two species were good choices for study, because they both could recognize facial expressions in other animals. Gathering a team, Palagi began to collect and analyze hundreds of other videos where canines（犬类）and equids (马科动物) played together.At last, 20 videos were picked out: showing animals freely playing on their own, for at least 30 seconds, without human involvement. In the videos, dogs and horses often mimicked each other's moves, jumping, pushing and even biting slightly and naughtily at each other. They also put themselves in weak and easily attacked positions, such as rolling on their backs, displaying their throats and stomachs — a strong sign that they were at ease and even showing their friendliness.The two creatures also frequently mimicked each other's facial expressions, both adopting the relaxed, open mouths — a behavior that's been noted in wild, social primates（灵长类动物），but never between a pair of animals of different species.12．What does the new research find about dogs and horses?A．No animals have a closer relationship than them.B．They can share fun with each other.c．They have facial mimicry and a possible universal language of play.D．Any other species can be their play partner.13．What can we infer about interspecies' plays?A．Scientists can never know the reasons for the plays.B．The plays help animals to survive and socialize.C．Knowing their evolution helps learn about animals' contexts.D．The play between humans and pets isn't included.14．What can we know from Palagi's investigation on canines and equids?A．They are perfectly suitable for the study.B．They play longer with humans joining m. C．They show closeness with specific positions.D．They mimic as the wild, social primates do.15．According to the passage, what could be discussed in the following paragraphs?A．More examples of facial mimicry.B．Study on mimicry of the wild, social primates.C．Facial expressions of different species.D．A possible universal language of play.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。Most Meaningful Things to Do with Your First SalaryAfter years of spending your parents' money, there comes that one day in your adult life you'll see the magic words "Your Salary Has Been Credited" for the first time in your mobile phone. Your mood will be unusual. 16 So how can we make the first pay more special?Often, we get so caught up in the excitement that we forget the people directly or indirectly helping us get there. They are the people who helped you out. 17 While all it takes is a free "thank you" or a personal note to remember those people and thank them, it is extra special if you can send them a personalized thank-you gift, such as sweets, chocolates and so on. 18 They saved on their basics to buy your luxuries. They worked hard so you could obtain the benefits. No amount of money can repay their efforts for you． 19 Take them out for a nice dinner, buy your dad a new phone, your mother a new dress and your sister a guitar.You've been just on a path to self-dependence and financial freedom. But some unfortunate people can't. They depend more on the kindness of people who have the privilege of helping. 20 A．And your first salary too.B．They are people offering you assistance.C．You must always dream about the moment.D．The most appreciated people took care of you for decades.E．They may also be the people simply guiding you through the interview rounds.F．How about donating an amount you think you can afford to make someone's day?G．But a few meaningful gestures and thoughtful gifts can surely bring a smile to their face.第二部分 语言运用洪两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分1 5分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、 C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空格处的最佳选项。Have you seen or heard a honeybee lately?

And第三部分 写作第一节 (满分 15 分)Dear Eric,I am so worried to hear that Edinburgh Zoo is scheduled to send two giant pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang back to China in 2022 for great financial pressures during the epidemic. Have you heard of the news? As our beloved animals, giant pandas enjoy great popularity among Chinese and are regarded as our national treasure. Are these two lovely pandas also popular among British people? Besides, it is well known that giant pandas are quite particular about their food and have a good appetite. So I am also wondering whether enough fresh bamboos are provided currently for them.I do hope that everything goes smoothly and I am looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li HuaDear Eric, I’m so worried to hear that due to the financial pressures during the epidemic, Tiantian and Yangguang, two giant pandas on loan in Edinburgh Zoo might be sent back to China in 2022. Therefore, I am writing to ask for some relative information about them. Firstly, is the news about the pandas reliable? Besides, to ensure their current situation, would you be so kind to tell me whether the two could eat sufficient fresh bamboos every day and are favored by tourists? By the way, if you have any further details about them, please let me know. Looking forward to your early reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节 (满分25 分) The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. The boys met at a middle School on a sunny afternoon, and instantly bonded. Seeing his role model in flesh, Jayce was too thrilled to say a single word but stand there with his mouth open wide. Amused by the sight, Trashaun held Lewis’ tiny hand as if Lewis had been his little brother to play hide-and-seek first, due to their similar congenital defect. Gradually, Trashaun led Jayce to ride bikes around the school, and eventually, taught Jayce slam dunks. During the rest, Trashaun took up a shirt that says “Five fingers can also make it”, which was prepared for Jayce.Staring at the skirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. Trashaun smiled, “I guess you may be puzzled, surprised, upset, even frustrated, hating God make you this way.” He stopped, falling his eyes on Jayce’s, with one hand patting Jayce’s head, “But I think this is the perfect way God made me. With five fingers, we also made it in lots of things just now. The missed arm is like a wing folded by an angel. Only when you’re tough will you see the wing!” Behind stood Lewis, whose face was flooded with tears. She confirmed the 14-year-old would be a superhero one day, so would her son, who was unfolding his hidden wing！The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. It was a sunny day, when a doorbell rang unexpectedly. Jayce opened the door, feeling his heart race. It was Trashaun, who can only be watched on TV! Jayce was wild with joy. He screamed, “How can you know my address?” Stepping into the house, Trashaun laughed loudly, took out his gift -- an old shirt carefully from his bag, and gave it to Jayce. Confused about the shirt, Jayce asked curiously “Does the shirt have any special meaning?”Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. “When I was young, I lost most of my arms in a serious car accident. However, I was lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted coach who gave me the precious shirt for encouragement. That’s the source of my bravery. Now I pass my bravery to you.” Hearing the story, Jayce’s eyes were sparkling like diamonds. “Thanks for your present!” Trashaun nodded, “Disabilities are people who own different abilities that can’t be easily found by ordinary people. We are born differently, because we are born to make a difference.”
