The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago. Millions of people worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdown. All public attractions, including museums and aquariums, are closed, and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty. An unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely.
The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward, two penguins who live at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. A video released on March 15, 2020, showed the couple eagerly walked around, exploring the aquarium’s various exhibits. The video, which instantly became popular, inspired other institutions to share short videos of their four-legged creatures playing as well.
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16, 2020, with a “Home Safari” live-stream series — the first starring its adorable baby panda, Fiona. “Let us help make your children’s hiatus from school fun and educational.” zoo officials announced, “Join us for a Home Safari Online Live each weekday at 3 pm, where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home.”
Meanwhile, the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams （网络摄像头）rolling, allowing fans to enjoy lovable animals without leaving home. Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors. The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari, while groups of wild turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland.
Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time, the heartwarming videos and images shared on social media, are also bringing much-needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide. Stay strong and healthy! We are all in this together!
24.What changes has the COVID-19 pandemic caused to the zoo animals?
A. They are now under required or voluntary lockdown.
B. They can enjoy a free life without tourists’ disturbance.
C. They will be faced with unexpected existing challenges.
D. They get a chance to wander about freely in the wild.
25. What does the underlined word “hiatus” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Courses. B. Sightseeing. C. Activities. D. Interruption.
26. Why has the San Diego Safari Park has kept its webcams rolling?
A. To enable people to admire animals at home.
B. To film the animals wandering about in the zoo.
C. To compete for more viewers online.
D. To record people’s life in the COVID -19 crisis.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Pandemic Affects the World
B. Lovely Animals Bring fun to People
C. Animals Play in the Absence of Humans
D. Stay Strong and Healthy in the Pandemic

Free school meals are back in the news. Footballer Marcus Rashford’s petition (请愿书) to extend free school meals provision (供给) into the school holidays has collected 1.1 million signatures, causing the government to reverse policy. It has restarted the debate over free school meals, fuelled, most recently, by figures forecasting that if the government ends as planned the current £20 top-up(附加款), another 200,000 children will slip into poverty. This is in addition to the 550,000 children already living in poverty previous to COVID-19.
The roots of the current school meals system lie in the mid-19th century. In Manchester, independent charities as well as official bodies started to provide free meals for undernourished children in the 1870s. When education became compulsory in the following decades, the extent of the issue became apparent. Proponents of feeding starving children pointed out that it was due to government order that children were in school, not working and contributing to the family food budget, so the government should pay.
Reception was mixed. Then, as now, children rejected foods they weren’t used to. Diaries of the time talked of “little bags of mystery” (sausages). Some children were put off brassicas (芥菜类) for life. Finding the balance between cheap and good proved hard. The chief medical officer talked about the lack in calorie value and elements of a well-balanced diet which a needy child does not get at home, such as milk, cheese, eggs, green vegetables, fruit and meat. In 1980, the Tory government, desperate to cut costs, made provision largely optional and abolished nutritional standards. Over the next 15 years convenience and cost became the most important.
Today, school meals provision is linked to benefits: in England around 17 per cent of children are entitled to free school meals. Provision is outsourced (外包), leading to huge variation. In the last year, we’ve seen all of the age-old debates repeated once more. How do we decide who is entitled? How do we guarantee quality? Who decides what children eat? Who pays? Undernutrition does not just have physical effects, but also affects behavior and ability to learn. It has a lifelong impact. The arguments around free school meals seem never to end. But they are hugely important and, until poverty is ended, they will not and should not go away.
28. Why did Marcus Rashford start the petition?
A. To feed an increasing number of children in poverty.
B. To restart the debate over free school meals.
C. To raise fund for hunger relief for children.
D. To lift children out of poverty.
29. What does the paragraph 2 probably talk about?
A. Manchester and independent charities set up school free meals .
B. It was government that should pay for the school meals .
C. How did the current school meals system come into existence?
D. It was compulsory education that contributed to free school meals.
30. What can we infer about school meals from paragraph 3?
A. Some children liked brassicas provided in the school.
B. School meals were both tasty and cheap.
C. School meals failed to meet children’s nutritional needs.
D. The Tory government chose nutrition over cost.
31. What does the writer think of the debates over free school meals?
A. Never-ending. B. Meaningless. C. Influential. D. Necessary
D
Why do you go to the library? For books, yes — but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library, you can do just that — even though there’s not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book — meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual’s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life.
For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype（模式化形象）. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs — to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card — anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that’s the very point of the organization — to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can’t judge a book by its cover — or by its title or label.
32. The “books” in human libraries are ______.
A. long-held beliefs attracting individuals
B. inspiring stones motivating people in trouble
C. events in which people can talk to volunteers
D. unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences
33. The event in Copenhagen is significant because it _____.
A. aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B. attempted to replace traditional physical libraries
C. laid a foundation for the Human Library Organization
D. led to a pleasing development for the community with racism
34. In human libraries, the readers are likely to _____.
A. deepen their understanding of people
B. enrich their own personal experiences
C. hear the stories from all over the world
D. make quick judgments about the “books”.
35. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. compare and evaluate B. inform and explain
C. discuss and persuade D. analyze and suggest
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。
Have you ever woken up worrying about an unfinished project, an email that you forgot to send, or a meeting which you didn’t have a chance to schedule? 36 It turns out that we just need to tell our brains when we will do what we need to do so they don’t annoy us.
Researchers used to think that this low-level worry about unfinished tasks was our unconscious mind trying to get things done by reminding us of what we still needed to do. 37
But recent research suggests that simply making a plan to deal with an unfinished task makes a huge difference in our ability to focus. When we don’t know when or how we will finish the things on our task lists, what will happen? 38 This is because undone tasks impress us more. As it turns out, our unconscious mind isn’t actually urging us to do an undone task right now, but rather to make a plan for when we will get it done. To handle this, you can schedule a task on your calendar. 39 It seems that our brain needs to let something go.
40 So stop worrying about an undone to-do list of things that you hope to accomplish in a given day or week. Instead, you should avoid being distracted by starting each day with a concrete plan for what you will work on and when. You don’t have to constantly make choices about what to concentrate on: Just follow your schedule.
A. It is more about making lists.
B. It is vital to stay focused while making plans.
C. Or you can list it as an action task or a quick task.
D. When we have no specific plans, distractions certainly take over.
E. If your answer is yes. your brain is bothered by those undone lists.
F. The belief was that the reminders wouldn’t stop until the tasks were done.
G. Our thoughts will typically wander from our present task to our undone tasks.

It started when I was in third grade. At that time, I heard that if I played the French horn, I could go to any 41 I wanted.

So I 48 the French horn for soccer and made the junior school team as a sophomore (二年级学生). But I 49 that I would never make the school team senior year, so soccer wasn’t going to get me into college. Then, I learned that I could 50 a rower(划艇运动员) and get admitted to any college I wanted.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Like many other students, you may have various people, 61 (include) family members and friends, giving suggestions on your college decision.
While many of your trusted relatives and friends may have very 62 (value) advice that can help you to make the decision, finally the choice is yours and yours alone. Only you can fully realize which aspects of a college will make you truly happy and 63 (satisfy), so keep that at the front of your mind.
Moreover, fully consider each option. It can be easy 64 (let) a particular school become your first choice 65 your decision-making process, and it may even become the winning choice — but be sure to carefully consider the school 66 has accepted you, since you had particular reasons for applying to each school.
Do keep 67 open mind. Students can change majors, but remember that there’s no re-living a certain semester , and there’s no making up for lost time. Don’t go to a school 68 (special) for a high school relationship(高中恋情) 69 to make someone else happy. A 70 (student)college experience is his or her own, and the student must put his or her education first.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago. Millions of people worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdown. All public attractions, including museums and aquariums, are closed, and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty. An unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely.
The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward, two penguins who live at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. A video released on March 15, 2020, showed the couple eagerly walked around, exploring the aquarium’s various exhibits. The video, which instantly became popular, inspired other institutions to share short videos of their four-legged creatures playing as well.
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16, 2020, with a “Home Safari” live-stream series — the first starring its adorable baby panda, Fiona. “Let us help make your children’s hiatus from school fun and educational.” zoo officials announced, “Join us for a Home Safari Online Live each weekday at 3 pm, where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home.”
Meanwhile, the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams （网络摄像头）rolling, allowing fans to enjoy lovable animals without leaving home. Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors. The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari, while groups of wild turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland.
Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time, the heartwarming videos and images shared on social media, are also bringing much-needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide. Stay strong and healthy! We are all in this together!
24.What changes has the COVID-19 pandemic caused to the zoo animals?
A. They are now under required or voluntary lockdown.
B. They can enjoy a free life without tourists’ disturbance.
C. They will be faced with unexpected existing challenges.
D. They get a chance to wander about freely in the wild.
25. What does the underlined word “hiatus” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Courses. B. Sightseeing. C. Activities. D. Interruption.
26. Why has the San Diego Safari Park has kept its webcams rolling?
A. To enable people to admire animals at home.
B. To film the animals wandering about in the zoo.
C. To compete for more viewers online.
D. To record people’s life in the COVID -19 crisis.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Pandemic Affects the World
B. Lovely Animals Bring fun to People
C. Animals Play in the Absence of Humans
D. Stay Strong and Healthy in the Pandemic

Free school meals are back in the news. Footballer Marcus Rashford’s petition (请愿书) to extend free school meals provision (供给) into the school holidays has collected 1.1 million signatures, causing the government to reverse policy. It has restarted the debate over free school meals, fuelled, most recently, by figures forecasting that if the government ends as planned the current £20 top-up(附加款), another 200,000 children will slip into poverty. This is in addition to the 550,000 children already living in poverty previous to COVID-19.
The roots of the current school meals system lie in the mid-19th century. In Manchester, independent charities as well as official bodies started to provide free meals for undernourished children in the 1870s. When education became compulsory in the following decades, the extent of the issue became apparent. Proponents of feeding starving children pointed out that it was due to government order that children were in school, not working and contributing to the family food budget, so the government should pay.
Reception was mixed. Then, as now, children rejected foods they weren’t used to. Diaries of the time talked of “little bags of mystery” (sausages). Some children were put off brassicas (芥菜类) for life. Finding the balance between cheap and good proved hard. The chief medical officer talked about the lack in calorie value and elements of a well-balanced diet which a needy child does not get at home, such as milk, cheese, eggs, green vegetables, fruit and meat. In 1980, the Tory government, desperate to cut costs, made provision largely optional and abolished nutritional standards. Over the next 15 years convenience and cost became the most important.
Today, school meals provision is linked to benefits: in England around 17 per cent of children are entitled to free school meals. Provision is outsourced (外包), leading to huge variation. In the last year, we’ve seen all of the age-old debates repeated once more. How do we decide who is entitled? How do we guarantee quality? Who decides what children eat? Who pays? Undernutrition does not just have physical effects, but also affects behavior and ability to learn. It has a lifelong impact. The arguments around free school meals seem never to end. But they are hugely important and, until poverty is ended, they will not and should not go away.
28. Why did Marcus Rashford start the petition?
A. To feed an increasing number of children in poverty.
B. To restart the debate over free school meals.
C. To raise fund for hunger relief for children.
D. To lift children out of poverty.
29. What does the paragraph 2 probably talk about?
A. Manchester and independent charities set up school free meals .
B. It was government that should pay for the school meals .
C. How did the current school meals system come into existence?
D. It was compulsory education that contributed to free school meals.
30. What can we infer about school meals from paragraph 3?
A. Some children liked brassicas provided in the school.
B. School meals were both tasty and cheap.
C. School meals failed to meet children’s nutritional needs.
D. The Tory government chose nutrition over cost.
31. What does the writer think of the debates over free school meals?
A. Never-ending. B. Meaningless. C. Influential. D. Necessary
D
Why do you go to the library? For books, yes — but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library, you can do just that — even though there’s not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book — meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual’s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life.
For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype（模式化形象）. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs — to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card — anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that’s the very point of the organization — to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can’t judge a book by its cover — or by its title or label.
32. The “books” in human libraries are ______.
A. long-held beliefs attracting individuals
B. inspiring stones motivating people in trouble
C. events in which people can talk to volunteers
D. unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences
33. The event in Copenhagen is significant because it _____.
A. aimed to help the young suffering from violence
B. attempted to replace traditional physical libraries
C. laid a foundation for the Human Library Organization
D. led to a pleasing development for the community with racism
34. In human libraries, the readers are likely to _____.
A. deepen their understanding of people
B. enrich their own personal experiences
C. hear the stories from all over the world
D. make quick judgments about the “books”.
35. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. compare and evaluate B. inform and explain
C. discuss and persuade D. analyze and suggest

根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Have you ever woken up worrying about an unfinished project, an email that you forgot to send, or a meeting which you didn’t have a chance to schedule? 36 It turns out that we just need to tell our brains when we will do what we need to do so they don’t annoy us.
Researchers used to think that this low-level worry about unfinished tasks was our unconscious mind trying to get things done by reminding us of what we still needed to do. 37
But recent research suggests that simply making a plan to deal with an unfinished task makes a huge difference in our ability to focus. When we don’t know when or how we will finish the things on our task lists, what will happen? 38 This is because undone tasks impress us more. As it turns out, our unconscious mind isn’t actually urging us to do an undone task right now, but rather to make a plan for when we will get it done. To handle this, you can schedule a task on your calendar. 39 It seems that our brain needs to let something go.
40 So stop worrying about an undone to-do list of things that you hope to accomplish in a given day or week. Instead, you should avoid being distracted by starting each day with a concrete plan for what you will work on and when. You don’t have to constantly make choices about what to concentrate on: Just follow your schedule.
A. It is more about making lists.
B. It is vital to stay focused while making plans.
C. Or you can list it as an action task or a quick task.
D. When we have no specific plans, distractions certainly take over.
E. If your answer is yes. your brain is bothered by those undone lists.
F. The belief was that the reminders wouldn’t stop until the tasks were done.
G. Our thoughts will typically wander from our present task to our undone tasks.

It started when I was in third grade. At that time, I heard that if I played the French horn, I could go to any 41 I wanted.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Like many other students, you may have various people, 61 (include) family members and friends, giving suggestions on your college decision.
While many of your trusted relatives and friends may have very 62 (value) advice that can help you to make the decision, finally the choice is yours and yours alone. Only you can fully realize which aspects of a college will make you truly happy and 63 (satisfy), so keep that at the front of your mind.
Moreover, fully consider each option. It can be easy 64 (let) a particular school become your first choice 65 your decision-making process, and it may even become the winning choice — but be sure to carefully consider the school 66 has accepted you, since you had particular reasons for applying to each school.
Do keep 67 open mind. Students can change majors, but remember that there’s no re-living a certain semester , and there’s no making up for lost time. Don’t go to a school 68 (special) for a high school relationship(高中恋情) 69 to make someone else happy. A 70 (student)college experience is his or her own, and the student must put his or her education first.
