I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature, offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh.
The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife, forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays.
There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend time in.
My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs to breed each spring. Or witness all the amazing activity of the breeding seal colony on the beach below during the early winter.
4．Why did the author go to Berwickshire?
A．To do sightseeing.
B．To make friends.
C．To work in a reserve.
D．To study wildlife.
5．What do the underlined words “The jewel in the crown" mean?
A．The highest part.
B．The most attractive part.
C．The valueless part.
D．The advanced part.
6．How does the author help people get to know wildlife in darker months?
A．By providing online courses.
B．By sharing her experiences.
C．By offering tours on land.
D．By organizing trips to the sea.
7．What can we learn from the text?
A．Modern geology needs further study.
B．Petticowick should be well preserved.
C．People should not take advantage of nature.
D．The author is enthusiastic about Berwickshire.

Young adults have strong positive memories of the music their parents loved when they were the same age, a study finds.
Participants in a study on musical memory said they remembered and loved the music that was popular in the early 1980s, when their parents were young. They also relished the music of the 1960s, which their grandparents may have been playing while changing their mom’s diapers (尿布). “They would hear this music and say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s my parents’ music,’ with obvious fondness,” says Carol Lynne Krumhansl, the psychology professor at Cornell University who led the study.
The scientists had been testing musical memory in an earlier study, and were surprised to find that college age participants could recognize older pop and rock songs just as quickly as the new stuff. Even more surprisingly, they liked the older stuff more. Therefore, the researchers decided to find out what was happening, using clips (片段) from hits on Billboard lists between 1955 and 2009. More than 60 student volunteers (average age 20) listened to short clips of the top two pop and rock songs of each year. The researchers quizzed them about which songs they recognized, how much they liked them and their emotional responses. They were also asked if they had memories associated with the songs and whether those memories were from listening with parents, alone, or with others.
“We didn’t have any idea that young adults had the strongest personal memories of the music of the early 1980s”, Krumhansl said. She and her colleague, Justin Adam Zupnick of the University of California, were even more surprised to see the second “reminiscence bump (回忆高峰)” in emotion and memory for top hits was from 1965 to 1969.
The connection to parents’ music isn’t entirely surprising. Music plays a central role in bringing up a child. Songs are taught at home and school and heard more informally as part of the home environment. The songs parents choose to listen to reflect their taste, their values, and their era. Besides, music is a powerful cue (提示) for calling up strong personal memories — when you made a new friend at the summer camp or the blue dress you wore to a party. And the human brain remembers music in great detail, unlike spoken words, in which people remember just the general meaning.
The 1960s music may evoke strong memories in people in their twenties because of the quality, Krumhansl guesses. She thinks the students might have memories of the 1960s music because it lives on as classics. Technology may also be a factor. The introduction of cassette tapes in the 1960s made music more ubiquitous (普遍存在的), and the same tapes were played long after that decade ended.
Next, Krumhansl wants to find out if other generations have the same experiences with music, and try to trace influences back through multiple generations.
8．The underlined word “relished” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A．played B．heard C．understood D．enjoyed
9．We can learn from the study that young adults________.
A．can only recognize the top two pop and rock songs on Billboard lists
B．showed no emotional response to music of the 1950s
C．had the second strongest memories of the music of the late 1960s
D．like listening to the old songs with their parents
10．The last but one paragraph serves to________.
A．draw a conclusion B．make a comparison
C．give an example D．provide an explanation
11．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Music of parents’ era still appeals to young adults of today.
B．Music can narrow the generation gap between parents and kids.
C．Music matters a lot in the growth of young people.
D．Music of quality can have a lasting influence.

When you step off the elevator on the fourth floor of Kentucky Children's Hospital (KCH),you’re greeted by a magical unicom (独角兽) in a combination of greens,blues,and purples.
It is a collaborative art piece, created by the staff of KCH and UK Arts in HealthCare. This mosaic (镶嵌图案) , roughly five feet tall and six feet wide, is made up of nothing but thousands of vial (药水瓶) caps, oral syringe caps,clamps,and tubes to create an image of a unicorn, silently greeting and comforting every patient and visitor.
The idea for this mosaic was inspired by Tilda Shalof, a nurse in Canada who spent nearly 30 years collecting abandoned medical plastic to create a colorful mosaic. KCH nurses approached the Child Life staff about creating something analogous for their hospital. The staff agreed, and collection of plastic began.
Soon the collection numbered in the thousands, but the question remained what would this become? After many meetings and discussions, KCH staff settled on the idea of a unicorn. After all, unicorns become the source where all dreamy thoughts can be achieved. Meeting a unicorn and making friends with it could be so appealing to children. More than stories about the healing power, for children, a unicorn might even have the magic power to change anything.
Lexington artist Christine Kuhn joined the team to provide guidance on the design and construction process, but the work was done entirely by KCH staff who volunteered their time.“As the unicorn started to take shape, it became even clearer that many hands were present in the artwork,”said Joey Burke, a nurse ethicist. “Several music therapists asked if they could add a guitar pick and a member of the maintenance crew added a wire nut. In the end, medical waste became fantastic as the unicorn took shape.”
When completed, this grand creature needed a name, so a contest was held among KCH staff and patients. The name with the most votes was Unity "MoonPie"McSparkles.
12．What is special about the art piece displayed in KCH?
A．It is small in size and portable.
B．It involves just one color.
C．It is a joint effort of the Child Life staff and parents.
D．It is composed entirely of hospital plastic waste.
13．What does the underlined word "analogous" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．Similar. B．Necessary. C．Meaningful. D．Challenging.
14．What made KCH staff decide to make a unicom?
A．It works well with plastic products.
B．It symbolizes hope, healing, and magic.
C．It appears in many KCH members' dreams.
D．It can help strike up friendships among patients.
15．What do Joey Burke's words in Paragraph 5 imply?
A．The design of the mosaic was a bit complicated.
B．Some members opposed reusing medical waste.
C．The staff were enthusiastic about the unicorn work.
D．The collection of medical waste was time-consuming.

47．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
At a recent 6-year-old's birthday party together with my daughter, I watched two girls playing in a playroom. Three boys came over and decided they were going to drive the girls away. “No girls allowed, "said one boy. The other two boys crowded around the girls for effect. One of the girls, in fear, did as she was ordered and left the playroom. The other girl stood her ground. “We were here first. You can't kick us out,"she said.
They weren't my kids, so I gently told the boys that everyone was allowed to play in the playroom. The boys ignored me, and continued to push the remaining girl out of the room. The girl fell on the ground and screamed in pain. The boys went on with their no-girls-allowed game. I took the girl over to the parents at the party and explained what had happened. What followed was a lesson in how girls were schooled in male power and privilege（特权）.
The girl's mother told her that she should have stayed away from the boys. The message to the girl was that it was her fault because she didn't do what the boys had ordered. A father of one of the boys laughed and told me that I should have caught the girl as she fell. There were no consequences for the boys. Their violence was so much an accepted part of their behaviour that it didn't even raise an eyebrow. In fact, the attitude of the father was that using physical strength to get what you wanted was to be celebrated. The message to the boys was that they could hurt girls without any consequence. Another mother said,"It's so hard for boys and girls to play together at this age.”

16．F    17．G    18．B    19．C    20．E

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助平息抱怨的建议。
16．根据空前“And complaining isn’t always an annoying thing.(抱怨并不总是一件令人讨厌的事情。)”指的是抱怨并不总是坏事；而空后出现转折“However, if someone makes complaints frequently, the problems will start.(然而，如果有人经常抱怨，问题就会开始。)”可知，空处应延续上文，和“抱怨并不总是坏事”相关。选项F“Talking about the problem with him frankly is important.(有时候，抱怨至少可以释放我们的压力。)”正是说抱怨也有好处。故选F。
17．根据上文“Some complainers will be distracted from their negative mood if you change the topic in a direction that interests them.

18．空处为小标题，为本段中心句。根据本段“When someone frequently makes complaints to you, ask nicely what he’s done to improve it. This question may help to abruptly end the complaint and remind the person to do something useful.(当有人经常向你抱怨时，友善地问他做了什么来改善。这个问题可以有助于突然结束抱怨，提醒对方做一些有用的事情。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是行动比抱怨更重要。选项B“Encourage the person to take actions.(鼓励这个人采取行动)”正是本段大意，形式上也符合上下小标题形式。故选B。

47．Paragraph 1:
To that mother's words, my response is: No! It's not! We are all humans, born without any difference. Though it seems to be a small thing, just a quarrel among children, what it shows is that girls are now suffering from prejudice. Actually, boys and girls are just like two poles of our Earth, so they can't be apart and there is nothing about who are better. Boys should have are respectful attitude to girls. I think all the parents should teach their children that boys and girls have the same rights.
Paragraph 2:
My six-year-old daughter observed the events at the party. And afterwards she said," Mum, I think those boys can't drive the girls away and even injure them."I said," That's true, my dear. Girls are now being looked down upon, but you need to understand that we are equal, though some people don't think like this. ”My daughter nodded and said," I will try my best to stop violence against women and girls.”
这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者在女儿的六岁派对上目睹了一次女孩子被男孩欺负的过程，作者温和地劝说，结果男孩们不理会，继续把剩下的女孩推出房间。女孩跌倒在地上，痛得尖叫起来。女孩的母亲告诉她，她应该远离男孩。给那个女孩的信息是这是她的错，因为她没有按男孩们的要求去做。作者认为他们的暴力行为在很大程度上是他们行为中被接受的一部分，甚至没有引起人们的注意。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：对于那位母亲的话，我的回答是:不!它不是!所以后文应该是作者阐述自己的观点。作者认为我们都是人，生来没有任何区别，认为所有的父母都应该教育他们的孩子，男孩和女孩有同样的权利。第二段开头是：我六岁的女儿在晚会上目睹了这一切。本段应该写作者的女儿对这件事的看法，主要为作者和女儿的对话。女儿说会尽最大努力制止针对妇女和女孩的暴力行为。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：suffer from（遭受），drive away（赶走），try one’s best（尽最大努力） 等高级词汇；让步状语从句Though it seems to be a small thing, just a quarrel among children, what it shows is that girls are now suffering from prejudice.；宾语从句Girls are now being looked down upon, but you need to understand that we are equal, though some people don't think like this.等高级句式。
