Dance is one of the most natural forms of human communication.In many cultures, dance has both historic and cultural significance, which is communicated through learned gestures and expressions.Here's a bit more detail about three of the world's most beautiful dances.

Kathakali (卡塔卡利舞)

Kathakali is the most well­known dance drama from the south Indian state of Kerala.It is a storytelling dance, during which performers use a variety of gestures, and eye and facial expressions to communicate meaning.Costumes, hair styles, face paint and jewelry also hold specific meaning in the performance of kathakali.There are nine facial expressions used to express feelings ranging from sadness and anger to curiosity and disgust.Through their expressions, it should be completely clear to the viewer what the performer is intending to convey.

Tango

The dance has its roots in an African slave dance called candombe, which is also a type of music.One component of a candombe performance is a partnered dance, which has over time developed into the modern tango.If you can keep your eyes on one part of the tango, just focus on the dancers' legs and feet.The tango is typically performed low to the ground, with both performers' dance steps often taking place at the same time.It's complex and communicative.

Flamenco

One of the most interesting facts about the flamenco is that it began as a song.Over time, flamenco developed to include its now­famous passionate (热情的) accompanying dance.One of the key components of the flamenco is palmas.It may look like simple, rhythmic (有节奏的) clapping, but palmas are performed at different speeds and strengths, and it is important that the flamenco dancer understand how to make use of his or her hands as part of the performance.

语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上三种最优美的舞蹈：卡塔卡利舞、探戈舞和弗拉门科舞。

1．What is so special about kathakali?

A．It came from Africa.

B．It focuses on romance.

C．It requires specific costumes.

解析：选D　细节理解题。根据Kathakali中的介绍可知，卡塔卡利舞是一种南印度舞蹈，它通过舞蹈讲述某一个故事。

2．What deserves your attention in a tango?

A．The dancers' eye contact.

B．The dancers' legs and feet.

C．The dancers' arms and hands.

D．The dancers' facial expressions.

3．In which dance does dancers' clapping play an important role?

A．Kathakali.　　　　　 B．Flamenco.

C．Tango.  D．Candombe.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据Flamenco部分中的“One of the key components of the flamenco is palmas.It may look like simple, rhythmic clapping”可知，弗拉门科舞的一个关键要素就是有节奏的拍手。

The next time you find an excuse to abandon your ambition, think of Chris Nikic.On November 7, 2020, 21­year­old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to attempt and complete an_Ironman. Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles,  bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2­mile marathon — in under 17 hours!

The event, which took place in Panama City, Florida, began early in the morning with a two­lap swim in the Gulf of Mexico.Chris, who was tied to his coach for safety, completed the course well within 2­hour, 20­minute time limit.

The 112­mile bike ride, which Chris rode alone, proved a little more challenging.Not accustomed to drinking water while riding, he was forced to make multiple stops.To make matters worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break.He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill.Despite these setbacks, Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5：30 p．m. cut­off time.

The competition's final challenge — a two­lap 26.2­mile run along the waterfront­started smoothly.However, Chris was tired out by the tenth mile.But, with encouragement from his coach and cheering bystanders, the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 9 seconds — almost 15 minutes under the 17­hour time limit.

Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges.Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent surgery at just five months old.He was too weak to walk independently until he was four.Due to his Down Syndrome, every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the possibilities.

To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory.It's about being an example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了21岁的Chris Nikic创造了历史，成为首位尝试完成铁人三项的唐氏综合症患者。

4．What does the underlined part  “an Ironman”  in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．A competition.  B．An organization.

C．A person.  D．An artwork.

解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to  ...in under 17 hours！”可知，Chris Nikic完成了一项由世界铁人三项机构组织的比赛，即画线词指的是“一项比赛”。

5．Which of the following best describes Chris's bike ride experience?

A．Romantic.  B．Eventful.

C．Pleasant.  D．Smooth.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Not accustomed to drinking water while riding ...Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5：30 p．m. cut­off time.”可推知，在Chris骑自行车的过程中事故频发。

6．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5?

A．Stimulate readers' interest.

B．Introduce a new topic.

C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

D．Add some background information.

解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born with two holes in his heart ...”可推知，在第五段作者想要添加一些Chris的背景信息。

7．What can we learn from Chris's story?

A．Winning is everything.

B．No dream is unachievable.

C．Life is full of choices.

D．Misfortune is a barrier to success.

解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了21岁的Chris Nikic创造了历史，成为首位尝试完成铁人三项的唐氏综合症患者。故我们能从Chris的故事中学到“没有不可能实现的梦想”的道理。

With schools close in the UK during the pandemic outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled.Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them.How can you keep your children focused while learning?

Nicola Anderson — Head of Customer Support at the UK's leading online tutoring service MyTutor,  provides new,  up­to­date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children's days.

One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day.Ms Anderson said，“Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and it will make most children feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”

Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning.She said，“The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light.Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn't for everyone.”

Using technology to help with your child's learning is also advised.Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.

It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine.Joe Wicks, otherwise known as The Body Coach, has been keeping kids healthy with daily 10­minute workouts for children on his social media.Ms Anderson said，“It can be anything from running around the garden, walking the dog, a game of football or dancing around your living room！”

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新冠肺炎疫情期间父母怎样在家里更好地教育孩子。

A．Homeschooling.  B．Tutoring service.

C．A regular timetable.  D．Difficult time.

解析：选C　代词指代题。根据第三段中的“One is to keep to a regular timetable”以及“if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling”可知，“this”指代“timetable”。

10．What may Nicola Anderson agree?

A．To allow children to adjust schedule freely.

B．To offer children peaceful study environment.

C．To recommend high­tech to online schools.

D．To combine routine with kids' mental health.

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers­Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.

The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers­Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn't have to look any further than her state's alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，” explains Ayers­Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that. And many of the state's greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”

These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the co­op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers­Elliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they had  produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, T­shirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”

“It's a model that can easily be learned in other places and I'm looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it  off in other communities，” Ayers­Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个农业旅游基地Foot Print Farms建立的原因及其发展情况。

12．What made Ayers­Elliott set up Foot Print Farms?

A．The problems faced by local farmers.

B．Her further research into heart disease.

C．The failure of her career after graduation.

D．The health state of people in her hometown.

解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Ayers­Elliott发现家乡的很多人身体都不健康，并且这里人们的很多健康挑战都来源于不良饮食，因此她决定建立Foot Print Farms。

13．Why does Ayers­Elliott take the football team as an example?

A．To advocate the concept of independence.

B．To stress the importance of teamwork.

C．To support the idea of co­op model.

D．To explore the key to success.

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，Ayers­Elliott谈到了其成功的关键在于合作社模式，紧接着列举的Wingfield High School football team的例子正是为了支持这一观点。

14．What is Ayers­Elliott's attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?

A．Optimistic.　　　　　 B．Skeptical.

C．Cautious.  D．Ambiguous.

解析：选A　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“I'm looking forward to ... and spin it off in other communities”可知，Ayers­Elliott对Food Print Farms的发展充满期待，持乐观的态度。

15．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health.

B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.

C．Ayers­Elliott encourages people to experience the farm life.

D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.

解析：选B　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Foot Print Farms的情况，它对改善Ayers­Elliott家乡当地人的饮食有很大作用。

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。

You don't need to be a world­class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview. Here's my advice on how to nail the most common interview question.

Most people are so eager to show off what they've been involved in. Don't worry, and there will be time for that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise.“Tell me about yourself”   is a question you're certain to be asked at any job interview. __16__ However, sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work.

Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. I've heard people talk about everything from being a world­class sushi chef to an ice carver. __17__ Such as you participate in competitive sports, you're an accomplished (技艺高超的) pianist and you're writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.

Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning？” The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for example, shows you have a global perspective. __18__ It doesn't matter how big or small the accomplishment is, as long as it shows you're struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction.

__19__ Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Don't approach the interview like you're trying out for Broadway. It's more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate what you've done or fully invent a story about yourself, you'll be exposed. __20__

A．Take a risk to get personal.

B．Showing honesty is one of the most important things.

C．Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge.

D．And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned.

E．It's also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable.

F．Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume.

G．“Tell me about yourself”  is an invitation for you to share brief personal information.

16．解析：选F　根据空处下一句中的“sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper”可知，空处与下文构成转折，此处内容应与介绍简历内容有关，故F项 “太多的人对此的反应是简单地复述一下自己的简历”引出下文，符合语境。

17．解析：选E　根据空处上下文可知，E项 “同样重要的是，要以一种令人难忘的方式来讲述”承上启下，符合语境。

18．解析：选C　根据空处上一句(比如，你在南美一个农场合作社做志愿者，这表明你有全球视野)可知，此处内容与举例子说明你的目标或品质有关，故C项 “刚开始跑10公里说明你喜欢挑战”承接上文，符合语境。

19．解析：选B　根据空处下一句可知，此处内容与诚实有关，故B项 “表现诚实是最重要的事情之一”符合语境。

20．解析：选D　根据空处上一句可知，此处内容与不诚实带来的影响有关，故D项 “然后你所说的关于自己的一切都会受到质疑”符合语境。

The 21­year­old from the landlocked town of Thirsk, England, set a world record as the __36__ (young) female to row solo (独自) across any ocean — 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes — by __37__ (finish) the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, according to organizer Atlantic Campaigns.

Harrison's trip began in Spain __38__  ended 3,000 miles away in Antigua.

A Twitter account posted，“The world record came after a near collision with a drilling ship, two capsizes (倾覆), lots of peanut butter and chocolates __39__(consume), and visits from dolphins.”

Harrison wrote on her website that she __40__ (inspire) to take part in the challenge when she saw the 2018 race finish.

“It wasn't just watching and holding the flares at Nelson's Dockyard for a race finish __41__ encouraged me.I also talked to a boy who had just completed and told me __42__ amazing it was，” she wrote.

Happening to be in Antigua for the finish of the 2018 challenge __43__ (plant) the seed for such a feat in Harrison's mind.While travelling through Europe a year later, she made the official __44__ (decide) that she would try.

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了21岁的英国女孩贾思敏·哈里森完成了塔利斯克威士忌大西洋挑战赛，创造了单人划船穿越大洋的最年轻女性的世界纪录。

36．youngest　考查形容词最高级。根据空前的“set a world record”以及定冠词the可知，此处应该用形容词最高级，表示“最年轻的”。

38．and　考查连词。根据句意可知，前后是顺承关系。

39．consumed　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处使用非谓语形式，peanut butter and chocolates与consume之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词表示被动。

40．was inspired　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处为宾语从句的谓语动词，she与inspire之间是被动关系，主语为第三人称单数，且发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。

41．that　考查强调句型。分析句子可知，此处为强调句型，其基本结构为it is/was＋被强调部分＋that＋其余部分，强调人时that可换成who，此处强调部分是事情，应用that。本句用的是否定形式。

42．how　考查宾语从句。分析句子可知，told me后为宾语从句，空处修饰形容词amazing，表示“多么”。

43．planted　考查时态。此处陈述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。

44．decision　考查名词。作动词made的宾语用名词，此处表示单数概念。

My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home. But our funds were limited, and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.

One agent recommended a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was beyond our range, so we declined (谢绝). But she kept urging us to have a look at last.

We finally did and it was love at first sight. It was our home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there. Days later, we made an offer — far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn't laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could afford, but far less than the original asking price.

The next day, we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the owners directly. We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer's bid (出价). We knew it, but we had to try. Nobody knew if we could get it.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 1：

Wewenttotheowner'shomeafterwemadeourfinaloffer.　

Paragraph 2：

Theownerlookedatusandsaid，　

参考范文：

Paragraph 1：

Wewenttotheowner'shomeafterwemadeourfinaloffer. The other potential buyer came with confidence. The owner smiled, saying，“Tell me the reason why you need this house. The one whose answer satisfies me will take the possession of it.” “For my business.” The buyer answered without any hesitation. After thinking for a while, I replied, “I can feel warmth and love of the marriage in the house, which I have been longing for.”

Paragraph 2：

Theownerlookedatusandsaid, “I want to sell my house to you！” A surge of shock hit me. “Why? He offered a higher price than I could afford，” I asked, surprised. “I want to give it to those who can fill it with love instead of money.” We appreciated him and felt a sense of warmth, deeply moved. I realized that a sincere heart was more significant than money.
