二、阅读(共两节,满分30分)
11.(6分)Some people ski (滑雪) down mountains.Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals.Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?
Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good.Psychologist (心理学家) Marvin says that this kind of explorers (探险者) are always looking for change and excitement.When people do something new or risky,a chemical (化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling.They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.
Other people don't take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve a goal.For example,Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000﹣mile special journey in central Africa.He worked to help save the wildlife there.Fay's expeditions helped create 13 national parks.
For other people,such as extreme athletes (极限运动员),taking risks is part of their job.Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the world differently.In a dangerous activity,most people probably do not feel in control.Extreme athletes are different:they feel in control in dangerous situations.The danger can even help them.For example,skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed.
Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers.However,we still take risks in our lives.Some of us take social risks,such as speaking in front of a large group of people.Sometimes,we take financial risks,such as buying a house.And sometimes we take career risks,such as leaving a job or starting a business.Most people take risks in some areas of life,but not in others.What kind of risk﹣taker are you?
(1)What does the underlined word "expedition" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Much money.
B.A journey with a special goal.
C.A great idea.
D.A plan for a dangerous journey.
(2)How many kinds of extreme athletes or explorers are mentioned in the passage?
A.Three.
B.Four.
C.Five
D.Six.
(3)Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Mike Fay is a professional risk﹣taker.
B.Most people don't take risks in their daily life.
C.Extreme athletes deal with danger better than others.
D.Daron Rahlves takes risks mainly for change and excitement.
12.(8分)Spain is famous for its tomato festival,called La Tomatina.It happens in a small town named Bunol on the last Wednesday of August every year.During the festival there are all kinds of activities,but the most exciting part is the tomato fight.It takes place at the end of a week﹣long celebration (庆祝).You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight.
There are many stories about how the festival began.One of the stories goes that during the 1940's,some friends started a tomato fight,while another story is about a local band.Anyway,everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story.
Before the tomato fight,there are parades (游行),musical bands,street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight,shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight.At the same time,thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together.Then large trucks (卡车) full of tomatoes arrive.From the back of the large trucks,a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others.Then the crowds fight back,throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone.Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules:You must squash (压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour.Everyone then sets off to the river to clean up.Sounds like fun!

13.(8分)Americans are proud of their variety and individuality,yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform,whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five﹣star general.Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms,one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(平民的) clothes.People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes.Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic(技术工人) is increased by a uniform.What easier way is there for a nurse,a policeman,a hairdresser,or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份;特性) than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical good points.They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.
Primary among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.Though there are many types of uniforms,the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it,without change,until retirement.When people look alike,they are likely to think,speak,and act similarly on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.Though they are long﹣lasting,often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain,requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering(洗涤) possible with many types of civilian clothes.
(1)What surprises us is that Americans .
A.still judge a man by his clothes
B.think highly of uniforms
C.less prefer wearing civilian clothes
D.respect a lift operator in uniform
(2)People are likely to think that a man in uniform .
A.suggests quality work
B.shows his social position
C.appears to be more practical
D.looks more fresh and attractive
(3)Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms .
A.are usually helpful
B.have little freedom
C.lose personal character
D.enjoy greater popularity
(4)It can be concluded from the passage that .
A.people generally trust a person in uniform
B.people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C.the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D.people wear uniforms to show their professions
14.(8分)Animal﹣rights activists often complain that cute beasts get more sympathy than equally deserving ugly ones.If so,one would think a lovely creature like the mink (貂)would be easy to protect.Yet in the Netherlands,mink is the only animal that can still legally be farmed for their fur.That is about to change.On August 28th the government brought forward to this year a ban on mink﹣farming that had been scheduled to take effect in 2024.The timetable was sped up not because mink had become more adorable,but because they can contract COVID﹣19 and spread it to humans.
Dutch farmers normally raised about 2.5 million minks a year,making the Netherlands the world's fourth﹣largest producer after Denmark,China and Poland.In April,a couple of minks and the farm hands who tended them were diagnosed with COVID﹣ 19.Genetic tracing showed that at least two workers had probably been infected by mink,rather than the other way around.The affected animals were destroyed and stricter hygiene rules imposed,but by summer the virus had spread to a third of the country's farms.In June,parliament voted to shut down the industry as soon as possible,and the cabinet agreed.
That was a win for the Netherlands Party for the Animals,which has four seats in the 150﹣member parliament.In 2013,it helped pass the law that gave mink farmers until 2024 to get out of the business.Now the party and its supporters object to the generous compensation (补偿)the government has offered for bringing forward the deadline: $150 million,or $1 million per farmer.Some members of parliament claim that the compensation paid for destroying the infected minks was higher than the market price for their fur.
Fur farmers say modern standards allow minks to be raised humanely,and that they are not a big reason for the spread of the virus.But minks tend to live by themselves instead of living in groups:animal﹣rights advocates say they cannot be raised humanely in small cages.As for COVID﹣I9,the worry is that mink could serve as a medium for it to attack human immunization (免疫)programs.The industry's value is modest (farmers put it at $150 million ﹣ $200 million,activists at under $100 million),and polls show the public overwhelmingly opposes it. "In a democratic country,that widespread belief has to translate into a political decision to ban fur farming," says Esther Ouwehand,leader of the Party for the Animals.The farmers accept they are shutting down.The remaining argument is over money.
(1)According to the passage,why did animal ﹣ activists have an unexpected win for protecting minks?
A.Because mink's cute appearance won people's heart.
B.Because the minks could act as a host for an infectious disease.
C.Because the government carried out an act earlier than planned.
D.Because the farmers stopped raising minks,considering the great reward.
(2)What does the writer mean by saying "the other way around" in paragraph 2?
A.The farm﹣raised minks were born with the virus.
B.The fanners were infected with COVID﹣I9 by minks.
C.The minks contracted COVID﹣ 19 from their caregiver.
D.The affected minks had contact with the virus in nature.
(3)Esther Ouwehand and his party members supported the following statements EXCEPT
A.Minks can be easily bred by humans without bringing any harm to them.
B.It is acceptable to shut down mink fur industry because it isn't profitable.
C.Objection to fur industry is a main reason behind this governmental decision.
D.The amount of money to make up for the loss of the mink farmers was too high.
(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Cuteness Wins
B.An Unexpected Win
C.Winter for Minks
D.Farmers v.s.Activists
三、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。
15.(5分)Sometimes,you feel down or unhappy.(1) So if you're having a bad day and need a boost,then help is just a click away.
A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. (2) People can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits here.
The website,the nicest place on the internet,lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors spirits.
(3) And it is considered to help many people out when they feel low.The wellknown artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.
"We tried to become cheerful,but none of the usual methods seemed to be working.Not music.Not food.What we hoped was something positive,honest and good.So with only a camera and work﹣free weekend,we created ‘The Nicest Place On The Internet." he explained on his website.
One user of the site,Joseph Meehan,27,from Birmingham,said, "It's a fun and exciting website.I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family.(4) It may even stop them from doing something stupid.You can also post your video to the website,and they add it to the series.It's very easy to share the love."
Mr.Lam is now working on a new project.(5) The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音) diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.
A.The website was created by Jeff Lam.
B.It announces to be "the nicest place on the Internet".
C.We don't like it most of time.
D.Don't think like that.
E.The project allows people to leave positive voice mails for strangers.

七、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
19.(25分)Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates.They had two hands while he had one.Due to their young age,Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something.
It started when one boy laughed at him.From that day,5﹣year﹣old Jayce turned sad.He returned home with questions."Why am I different?Why me?Why? "He cried to ask his mother,Lewis.Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way,the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart.What made her more sorrowfull was that she didn't know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son's questions which she could never find out herself.The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later,Lewis turned on the TV to a news story,where she was shocked to find out the answer.It was Trashaun,an eighth grader,that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe.The 14﹣year﹣old sunny boy performed his slam dunks(大灌篮)on the TV,who had been a hit on the Internet.However,like Jayce,he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood!Lewis called her son Jayce in.The poor little boy got spellbound,watching dunk after dunk.
At the time,it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce.He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life.And had it stayed just that,Lewis would have been happy.But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun,asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.

Paragraph 1
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.【高分句型一】Amused by the sight,Trashaun held Lewis tiny hand as if Lew is 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.(Jayce见到Trashaun及他们所做的事情,Trashaun如何鼓励Jayce)
Paragraph 2
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,"ButIthink 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 byan angel.Only when you re tough will you see the wing!【高分句型二】"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!(Jayce在见到Trashaun之后受他鼓励之后的改变。Trashaun认为他应该帮助更多的像Jayce一样的孩子。)
