Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or top a ties at other people’s houses.
Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”
“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”
So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”
“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8: 30 p.m.”
“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must goat 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the doorbell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making noise, because someone has complained.”
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him, “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”
“I did.” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.
4．Why did Mr. Harris and his wife move to another town?
A．They wanted to make some new friends.
B．Mr. Harris changed his work.
C．They wanted to meet a lot of interesting people.
D．They enjoyed going to parties and visiting other people’s houses.
5．What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?
A．They had gone to other people’s parties many times.
B．They could ask people to dinner in small numbers.
C．It was easy to hold a big party at home.
D．They liked making friends with others.
6．How long would Mrs. Harris like the party to last?
A．From the morning till night. B．About fourteen hours.
C．About two hours. D．Till midnight.
7．Why did Mr. Harris telephone the policeman about the noise?
A．Because someone rang his doorbell many times at mid-night.
B．He did not want his friends to stay late that night

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at the school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains. It can be simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere(脑半球). In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity(理智)when solving a problem.
8．A woman with the purpose of buying milk will go to the store and buy_______.
A．nothing but milk B．more things than planned
C．a lot of things except milk D．all the things that she likes
9．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Male brains develop better than female brains.
B．It’s necessary for women to use different parts of the brain.
C．Men should use two sides of the brain to solve a problem.
D．Women may think more when finding a solution to the problem.
10．In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage?
A．Sport Report. B．Farming Report. C．Health Report. D．Education Report.
11．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Do one thing or do many a time. B．Men and women think differently.
C．The male and female interest in shopping. D．The study on the behavior of men and women.

If you want to do your kids a favor, consider having them walk to school. Walking to school provides many benefits – improving academic performance, reducing anxiety, boosting spirits, better sleep, a sense of independence, having an opportunity to familiarize oneself with a neighborhood, to notice small details, to feel a sense of wonder at the surroundings. The list goes on.
Parental fears still exist, however. Parents are terrified of cars, of injury, of harsh weather, of encounters with strangers and wild animals. These fears prevent parents from letting their kids do something that's actually enormously beneficial to them, despite the fact that removing an opportunity to be active contributes to an increase in childhood obesity, which can have a greater negative impact on a child's life than the risk of being injured due to being active.
How do we go from being a society that does not encourage its children to walk independently to being one that does? Parents must face their own discomfort with letting go. Brussoni, an expert who researches children's outdoor and risky play, said "We want to move parents from focusing solely on protecting their child to building trust in their child’s abilities and strategies to support their child’s skills in navigating the streetscape."
Schools can play a role by encouraging children to walk to school. Brussoni offers additional suggestions: "They should promote a culture that walking to school is the norm, help educate parents on why this is important, and consider closing the streets around the school to cars before and after school."
Parents might do well to put themselves in their children's shoes. As adults, we know how good a morning walk feels to start off a day or to end one. Walking energizes us and cheers us up, and it can do the same for children. As we go through this pandemic that has shaken up all of our lives, it's a good time to practice new routines and establish new habits. Walking to school is a great place to start.
12．What can we infer about kids’ usual way of going to school?
A．They walk to school alone. B．They are driven to school.
C．They ride bikes to school. D．They are led to school by teachers.
13．What does Brussoni suggest parents do in paragraph 3?
A．Focus on their child’s safety. B．Protect their child against injury.
C．Believe their child’s abilities. D．Strike traffic rules into their child’s heart.
14．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Schools. B．Societies. C．Governments. D．Children.
15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To illustrate the roles of parents and schools.
B．To advise parents to have kids walk to school.
C．To promote a way of establishing a new routine.
D．To encourage kids to form a good habit.

Having held the interschool (校际) story tell g championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate (候选人) to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly be the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited (自负的). I was so proud that I ignored the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, “Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse (排练) for the contest?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was. “Just imagine you are on the stage
in the audience,” she added.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I event old Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my script (讲稿) .I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was crowded with people. My schoolteachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms (手掌) sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon it was my turn to talk.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, I heard the results announced after the contest and felt sad.

9．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity(理智)when solving a problem.（然而，在解决问题的时候，女性用到大脑的其他部分，比如与理性有关的部分和与敏感性有关的部分）”可知，女性在解决问题时会用到大脑的其他部分，由此推知，她们在解决一个问题时会考虑更多。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第三段的“Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. （现在科学研究支持了这一关于男性和女性大脑的理论）”可知，本文主要介绍对男女大脑研究的发现，由此推知本文最有可能在报纸的健康报告版块读到。故选C。

13．细节理解题。根据第三段“Brussoni, an expert who researches children's outdoor and risky play, said "We want to move parents from focusing solely on protecting their child to building trust in their child’s abilities and strategies to support their child’s skills in navigating the streetscape."（Brussoni是一位研究儿童户外活动和冒险游戏的专家，他说:“我们想让家长们从只关注保护孩子，转向对孩子的能力和策略建立信任，以支持孩子在街道上的技能。”）”可知，该专家建议家长相信孩子有能力应对独自步行在街道上遇到的各种情况。故选C项。
14．词句猜测题。根据前一句“Schools can play a role by encouraging children to walk to school.（学校可以通过鼓励孩子步行上学问题上起到作用。）”可知，此处承接上文，指出学校可以采取一些措施促使孩子可以步行去学校，因此划线词they指代的就是前面提到的schools，故选A项。

36．the 37．to celebrate 38．what 39．which 40．of 41．traditional 42．is put 43．relatives 44．enjoying 45．has

【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了中国春节习俗和意义。
36．考查冠词。句意：其中，春节是最重要的节日。分析句子结构可知，空后是形容词的最高级，前需加定冠词the。故填the。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：这是为了庆祝中国农历新年的开始。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：be meant to do意为“（照规矩）应该”。故填to celebrate。
38．考查主句从句连接词。句意：春节期间，人们最喜欢做的事情就是聚在一起，享受家庭团聚。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，应该用what引导。故填what。
39．考查定语从句关系词。句意：此外，许多人喜欢在露天放烟花，这是节日期间很受欢迎的活动。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整句话，在从句中作主语，应该用which引导。故填which。
40．考查介词。句意：孩子们非常喜欢这个节日，当他们可以穿新衣服，吃美味的食物，比如饺子，这是中国的传统食物。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：be fond of意为“喜欢”。故填of。
41．考查形容词。句意：孩子们非常喜欢这个节日，当他们可以穿新衣服，吃美味的食物，比如饺子，这是中国的传统食物。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，tradition的形容词形式是traditional。故填traditional。
42．考查动词时态和语态。他们还可以从父母那里得到一些钱，这些钱放在红包里，象征好运。分析句子结构可知，本句是that引导的定语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，所以put作从句谓语，主语that代指先行词money，为不可数名词，和put之间为被动关系，用被动语态；描述的是每年都发生的事，用一般现在时。故填is put。
43．考查名词。句意：春节持续大约15天，在此期间，人们走亲访友，送上春节的祝福。分析句子结构可知，空处和空后的friends并列，relative此处意为“亲戚”，所以也用复数形式。故填relatives。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：随着世界各地越来越多的人享受春节，它变得越来越受欢迎。分析句子结构可知，此处是with引导的复合结构，enjoy和逻辑主语people之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填enjoying。
45．考查主谓一致。句意：人们认为春节具有丰富的文化意义，将永远受到重视。分析句子结构可知，本句是that引导的同位语从句，从句中缺少谓语动词，所以has作本句谓语，主语是Spring Festival，为第三人称单数，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时。故填has。
46．Dear Jack,
How is everything going? Knowing that you’re having trouble with English learning, I am sorry to hear that and writing to offer you some advice.
As far as I’m concerned, first, concentrating on English lessons is the most important. While listening to the teacher, you should take notes. Meanwhile, make sure you can memorize the vocabulary, which plays a hugely important role in English learning. Trying to communicate in English as often as possible can help you improve your oral English. It is also beneficial for you to watch some American TV series or listen to some English songs in your spare time.
I hope my suggestions can help you. I believe with your hard work your English will be better soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

47．Soon it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke nervously and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I had never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, with my eyes filled with tears.
Finally, I heard the results announced after the contest and felt sad. I did not win any prizes, which was not surprising at all. I felt rather ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted my foolish behavior. On the following day, I went to visit Ms. Sara and apologized. Ms. Sara held my hands, seriously saying, “It’s OK. But from this, you should learn that pride goes before a fall and that practice makes perfect.” I nodded my head and promised to keep this experience as a life-long reminder.
