A librarian, Jennifer Williams's mother read to her three children every day. "Not until we went to kindergarten (幼儿园)," Williams said. "Until we went to college."
When Williams, now 54, became a primary school teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But she realized that some kids had limited access (使用的机会) to books.
"It's very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to versus kids who are not," she said. To Williams, the solution (解决办法) was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of an event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children's books over three days. Most people would be satisfied with that. Most.
"My husband was like, `Wow, congratulations,' and I was like, `Well, anybody can do that,' " she said. "I told him, 'I want to give away a million books.'"
It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: "Don't complain in the bleachers (露天看台) if you aren't willing to work hard out on the field."
So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy books. "I've lived in this town for 35 years," she said. "My community has come together and said, 'You've always helped us, now let us help you.'"
Before long, as news of Williams' s project spread, strangers started leaving books on her front porch (门廊). As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools and little free libraries in Danville.
In the four years she' s been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come to be known, has given away more than 78,000 books - only 922,000 more to reach her goal! And she' s not slowing down. It's too important for kids with few options.
"Reading can take you anywhere," she said. "You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything."
24. What did Williams notice when she encouraged her students to read?
A. Some of them disliked reading. B. Some of them had few books to read.
C. Some of them preferred to read themselves. D. Some of them began reading in kindergarten.
25. How did Williams feel about her achievement in 2017?
A. She was disappointed. B. She wasn't confident.
C. She wasn't satisfied. D. She was stressed.
26. How did Williams' s community respond to her project?
A. They were rather uncertain. B. They were ready to lend a hand.
C. They thought it was unachievable. D. They believed it would win high praise.
27. What does Williams plan to do?
A. Set up a free library. B. Travel around the world.
C. Keep doing what she does. D. Ask her students to take learning trips.
Early reports on COVID-19 compared what was developing to the "Spanish Flu", an influenza pandemic (流感大流行) just over 100 years earlier. And yet, I grew up never having heard my parents speak of it or their experiences! I had questions about it, but no answers since my parents are no longer with us. I thought to myself, "I don't want this kind of thing to happen to the younger generation in my family in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic."
One day in December 2020, 1 had an idea of a family quilt (被子) documenting our family's experience of the pandemic. The idea excited me because I've always loved quilting. Also, I really wanted something creative to do during lockdown.
I ran the idea by my family members - my four adult children and their spouses (配偶) (with invitations also to my eight grandchildren). They all gave it some thought and said "Go for it!"
So, I asked each person to create a square to express their views on and experiences of the pandemic. We did some brainstorming together. I ordered the cloth and quilting supplies we needed. And we found a good local shop that did a great job printing photos and other designs onto cloth. Each family unit contributed a few completed squares for a total of 20 squares. The quilt covers three generations: the youngest family member is 17 this year, and I'm the oldest at 83. It took us almost four months from the time I imagined it to the day I finished sewing (缝) it up.
Once the pandemic has ended, I will sew the end date and any other key information onto the inside of the quilt. It may not be as skilled as some of my earlier work － I hadn't made a quilt in a long time! － but it's certainly one of the most creative and exciting things I've done, already serving the cause of bringing our family closer together.
28. Why did the author decide to create a family quilt during COVID-19?
A. To keep her family's quilt making tradition alive.
B. To show her love and thanks for her parents.
C. To get her children's attention away from the pandemic.
D. To record memories of the pandemic for future generations.
29. What was the author's family's attitude to her idea of creating a family quilt?
A. They thought it was crazy. B. They were supportive of it.
C. They were doubtful about it. D. They paid little attention to it.
30. What can we learn about the quilt from paragraph 4?
A. It was a joint effort. B. It could be seen in a local shop.
C. It became a fine example of new quilts. D. It took longer to complete than expected.
31. What does the author say about the quilt?
A. It reminds her of her childhood. B. It took more skill than her earlier work.
C. It will be popular with family members. D. It has connected her family more closely.
The Amazon rainforest is as pristine (处于原始状态的) a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Previous research found that some birds in the Amazon are experiencing drops that may be related to climate change. Now, new research suggests that as the Amazon's dry season has gotten hotter, some species are starting to evolve (进化).
For the new study, researchers studied 77 non-migratory species over a 40-year period. They reported in the journal Science Advances that 36 species have lost weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight every ten years since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species became smaller in body size, while a third grew longer wings.
The researchers themselves are unsure what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger ratio (比例) of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size.
"Think about a fighter plane. It has short wings and is heavy. It has to go really fast to stay high in the air, so it uses up plenty of energy," says ecologist Vtek Jirinec, who led the new study, while a glider (滑翔机) almost uses no power to stay high in the air, because it's got these long wings, and it's light."
For those who wonder why a small body change in a small homebody bird should matter, Jirinec points to how our actions have effects we don't always see － such as changing the size and shape of animals half a world away.
"We think of Amazonia as a pristine place, full of life, untouched by people, away from deforestation," Jirinec says. "But it looks like no, not necessarily."
32. What does the new study find out about some bird species in the Amazon rainforest?
A. They have changed physically. B. They are dying out due to hotter weather.
C. They have a smaller population than before. D. They have migrated as a result of less rainfall.
33. What does the underlined word "dissipate" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Feel. B. Need. C. Give out. D. Make use of.
34. Why does Vitek Jirinec mention a fighter plane and a glider in paragraph 4?
A. To study how birds speed up in the air.
B. To show the advantage of birds' longer wings.
C. To describe how birds' wings move when flying.
D. To introduce the difficulty birds can meet when flying.
35. What does Vitek Jirinec think of the Amazon rainforest?
A. It isn't as attractive as it was.
B. It is making a quick recovery.
C. It is being influenced by human activities.
D. It isn't suitable for some bird species any longer.
You see people making big life changes, like going to medical school at 45, because they couldn't imagine being an accountant (会计师) for 20 more years. It seems magical, like one day they just decided to make it happen. For some people, it might work that way. ______36_______ In truth, it takes years of thinking and planning. I've figured out how to streamline things a bit. You may want to try it yourself.
First, accept the uncertainty of life. As much as we don't like to admit it, life is uncertain. ______37_______ If you doubt me, go back 10 years and ask yourself where you thought you'd be now. I doubt it looks exactly like you planned.
Second, be open to possibilities. Many times, we know we want to do something, but we don't know what "it" is. Explore a bit. Brainstorm.______38_______
Then, once you decide on something, it's time to plan a bit. ______39_______ As you meet different difficulties, make sure you spend time questioning your assumptions (设想). Maybe something you always considered true is nothing more than someone else's opinion.
Finally, as paths (路线) open, head down them. Don't worry if you experience false starts. ______40_______ Almost all of the stories readers shared with me about doing life-changing things involved changing plans, disappointment and lots of hard work. But in the end, it was worth it.
A. That might seem a bit obvious.
B. At this point, difficulties start to show up.
C. We never know exactly where it will take us.
D. It stops you from just making big life changes.
E. However, most of the time, it's much less magical.
F. Allow things to come up and be open to new ideas.
G. There will be plenty of those, and you may only need a quick course correction.

39. B。根据本空前的once you decide on something, it's time to plan a bit及本空后的As you meet different difficulties, make sure you spend time questioning your assumptions可知，本空应讲述“在计划的过程中会遇到困难”，故选B项。
40. G。根据本空前的Don't worry if you experience false starts及本空后的Almost all of the stories readers shared with me about doing life-changing things involved changing plans, disappointment and lots of hard work可知，错误的开始很常见，但你需要及时做出调整，故选G项。G项中的those指代本空前的false starts，course correction与本空后的changing plans 相照应。

主题语境：人与自我——生活
本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己上班期间儿子们给她打电话的经历。
41. C。根据下文中的I explained to them that I was ... work and could not be ... phone calls every few minutes和Yet over and over the ... would ring with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，之后，作者要求儿子们有紧急情况时才可以给她打电话，only符合语境。
42. D。43. A。根据上文中的After that, they were ... to call in an emergency及下文中的Yet over and over the ... would ring with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，作者给儿子们解释说自己工作很“忙（busy at）”，不能频繁“接（taking）”电话。
44. C。根据上文的描述、本句中的with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong及下文中的the calls可知，此处表示“电话会响”，故选phone。
45. B。46. A。根据上文中的both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，作者的两个儿子给她打电话并不是家里有什么紧急情况，而是互相告状。由此可推断，作者会和儿子们强调他们需要遵守的“规则（rules）”，然后，有一段时间，他们不会随便给她打电话，stop符合语境。
47. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。根据本句中的I was called out of a meeting及my son was on the telephone with an emergency可知，作者正在开会，有人传话说她儿子打电话说有急事，message符合语境。topper 意为“（行为等）前所未有的极端例子”。
48. C。根据上文中的my son was on the telephone with an emergency及本句中的my heart raced可知，作者心里很着急。由此可推断，此处表示“急忙（hurried）”去接电话。
49. D。下文中的there was plenty of food in the house可提示本空答案。
50. A。根据下文中的“But we have no chips,” he responded可知，作者应该是给儿子解释说家里有许多食物，故选explained。
51. B。根据上文中的“But we have no chips,” he responded可知，在作者儿子看来，家里没有薯条就意味着没有食物，Obviously（显然）符合语境。
52. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。因此，当儿子打来电话说有急事时，作者非常担心，但没想到，儿子所指的紧急情况是家里没有薯条。结合本句中的he was aware of my displeasure可知，作者对孩子的行为有些不满，pleased with符合语境。
53. B。根据上文中的Over the years可知，许多年过去了，每当作者想起儿子们小时候给她办公室打电话的事情时，都会觉得很有意思，故选thought。
54. C。55. C。根据上文的描述可知，作者的儿子给她的办公室打电话说有急事， 因为家里没有薯条了。当时，作者在开会，而且她觉得家里没薯条不是什么大事，因此有些不高兴。根据本段的描述可知，许多年过去了，作者意识到大人和孩子对于紧急情况的“理解（views）”不同，而妈妈们应该牢记这一点，这样就会理解孩子的做法，important符
主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是新闻报道。Damen Fletcher利用国际象棋教孩子们如何解决生活中的问题。
56. than。考查固定搭配。根据下文中的He uses what he learned on the chessboard in real life, like, think before you move可知，设空处所在部分意为“象棋不仅仅是游戏”，故填than。more than 后接名词，表示“不只是……；不仅仅……”。
57. learning。考查动词-ing形式。设空处及其后部分在句中作定语修饰students，因为students与learn之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且learn表示的动作正在进行，故填learning。
58. who。考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Damen Fletcher，且在从句中作主语，故填关系词who。
59. to attend。考查动词不定式。设空处所在部分意为“离开家乡上大学”，故填to attend。to attend college在句中作目的状语。
60. childhood。考查名词。设空处作定语修饰friends，表示“童年”，故填名词childhood。
61. them。考查代词。设空处作介词of的宾语，指代上文中的friends，故填代词them。
62. ages。考查可数名词的复数。设空处表示“年龄”，因为其前有all限定，故填ages。kids of all ages 不同年龄的孩子。
63. a。考查冠词。设空处与new修饰限定problem，因为problem是可数名词，且此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词a。
64. interesting。考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰story，表示“有趣的”，故填形容词interesting。
65. rode。考查一般过去时。设空处与had并列作谓语，所表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填rode。

Dear Jacob,
I am writing to invite you to take part in the colorful and interesting activities of the Silk Road International Arts Festival in our city, which will be held from 15th to 30th next month.
It is aimed to promote international cultural exchanges and cooperation among countries along the Silk Road. During the festival, artists from around 60 countries will bring us many excellent performances such as dramas, dances and concerts. Other than performances, the festival also has lots of lectures and cultural seminars by scholars on topics of history, arts and religion.
I know that you are fond of experiencing different cultures, so this festival is the one you can’t miss. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
参考答案：
The boy was aware of the tide and saw it a couple of times already. He already knew how to do things better. He felt no sorrow, regret, or fear any more whenever the waves came. He just smiled, picked up his tools and left. He knew that the tide was beyond his control and he couldn’t do anything about it. What he could do is how to react to those situations.
Basically, no matter where you are, the waves of life will always find you. What matters most is how you behave during those moments and what they teach about yourselves along this journey called life. Keep calm while looking at things from different viewpoints because sometimes all it takes for changes to happen in your life is by looking at things through different lenses!

A librarian, Jennifer Williams's mother read to her three children every day. "Not until we went to kindergarten (幼儿园)," Williams said. "Until we went to college."
When Williams, now 54, became a primary school teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But she realized that some kids had limited access (使用的机会) to books.
"It's very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to versus kids who are not," she said. To Williams, the solution (解决办法) was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of an event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children's books over three days. Most people would be satisfied with that. Most.
"My husband was like, `Wow, congratulations,' and I was like, `Well, anybody can do that,' " she said. "I told him, 'I want to give away a million books.'"
It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: "Don't complain in the bleachers (露天看台) if you aren't willing to work hard out on the field."
So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy books. "I've lived in this town for 35 years," she said. "My community has come together and said, 'You've always helped us, now let us help you.'"
Before long, as news of Williams' s project spread, strangers started leaving books on her front porch (门廊). As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools and little free libraries in Danville.
In the four years she' s been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come to be known, has given away more than 78,000 books - only 922,000 more to reach her goal! And she' s not slowing down. It's too important for kids with few options.
"Reading can take you anywhere," she said. "You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything."
24. What did Williams notice when she encouraged her students to read?
A. Some of them disliked reading. B. Some of them had few books to read.
C. Some of them preferred to read themselves. D. Some of them began reading in kindergarten.
25. How did Williams feel about her achievement in 2017?
A. She was disappointed. B. She wasn't confident.
C. She wasn't satisfied. D. She was stressed.
26. How did Williams' s community respond to her project?
A. They were rather uncertain. B. They were ready to lend a hand.
C. They thought it was unachievable. D. They believed it would win high praise.
27. What does Williams plan to do?
A. Set up a free library. B. Travel around the world.
C. Keep doing what she does. D. Ask her students to take learning trips.
Early reports on COVID-19 compared what was developing to the "Spanish Flu", an influenza pandemic (流感大流行) just over 100 years earlier. And yet, I grew up never having heard my parents speak of it or their experiences! I had questions about it, but no answers since my parents are no longer with us. I thought to myself, "I don't want this kind of thing to happen to the younger generation in my family in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic."
One day in December 2020, 1 had an idea of a family quilt (被子) documenting our family's experience of the pandemic. The idea excited me because I've always loved quilting. Also, I really wanted something creative to do during lockdown.
I ran the idea by my family members - my four adult children and their spouses (配偶) (with invitations also to my eight grandchildren). They all gave it some thought and said "Go for it!"
So, I asked each person to create a square to express their views on and experiences of the pandemic. We did some brainstorming together. I ordered the cloth and quilting supplies we needed. And we found a good local shop that did a great job printing photos and other designs onto cloth. Each family unit contributed a few completed squares for a total of 20 squares. The quilt covers three generations: the youngest family member is 17 this year, and I'm the oldest at 83. It took us almost four months from the time I imagined it to the day I finished sewing (缝) it up.
Once the pandemic has ended, I will sew the end date and any other key information onto the inside of the quilt. It may not be as skilled as some of my earlier work － I hadn't made a quilt in a long time! － but it's certainly one of the most creative and exciting things I've done, already serving the cause of bringing our family closer together.
28. Why did the author decide to create a family quilt during COVID-19?
A. To keep her family's quilt making tradition alive.
B. To show her love and thanks for her parents.
C. To get her children's attention away from the pandemic.
D. To record memories of the pandemic for future generations.
29. What was the author's family's attitude to her idea of creating a family quilt?
A. They thought it was crazy. B. They were supportive of it.
C. They were doubtful about it. D. They paid little attention to it.
30. What can we learn about the quilt from paragraph 4?
A. It was a joint effort. B. It could be seen in a local shop.
C. It became a fine example of new quilts. D. It took longer to complete than expected.
31. What does the author say about the quilt?
A. It reminds her of her childhood. B. It took more skill than her earlier work.
C. It will be popular with family members. D. It has connected her family more closely.
The Amazon rainforest is as pristine (处于原始状态的) a place as most people can imagine, but even there, the effects of a changing climate are playing out. Previous research found that some birds in the Amazon are experiencing drops that may be related to climate change. Now, new research suggests that as the Amazon's dry season has gotten hotter, some species are starting to evolve (进化).
For the new study, researchers studied 77 non-migratory species over a 40-year period. They reported in the journal Science Advances that 36 species have lost weight, as much as 2 percent of their body weight every ten years since 1980. Meanwhile, all the species became smaller in body size, while a third grew longer wings.
The researchers themselves are unsure what advantage the wing length changes give the birds, but smaller birds may have an easier time keeping cool. In general, smaller animals have a larger ratio (比例) of surface area to body size, so they dissipate more heat faster than a bigger animal. Less available food, such as fruit or insects, in dryer weather might lead to smaller body size.
"Think about a fighter plane. It has short wings and is heavy. It has to go really fast to stay high in the air, so it uses up plenty of energy," says ecologist Vtek Jirinec, who led the new study, while a glider (滑翔机) almost uses no power to stay high in the air, because it's got these long wings, and it's light."
For those who wonder why a small body change in a small homebody bird should matter, Jirinec points to how our actions have effects we don't always see － such as changing the size and shape of animals half a world away.
"We think of Amazonia as a pristine place, full of life, untouched by people, away from deforestation," Jirinec says. "But it looks like no, not necessarily."
32. What does the new study find out about some bird species in the Amazon rainforest?
A. They have changed physically. B. They are dying out due to hotter weather.
C. They have a smaller population than before. D. They have migrated as a result of less rainfall.
33. What does the underlined word "dissipate" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Feel. B. Need. C. Give out. D. Make use of.
34. Why does Vitek Jirinec mention a fighter plane and a glider in paragraph 4?
A. To study how birds speed up in the air.
B. To show the advantage of birds' longer wings.
C. To describe how birds' wings move when flying.
D. To introduce the difficulty birds can meet when flying.
35. What does Vitek Jirinec think of the Amazon rainforest?
A. It isn't as attractive as it was.
B. It is making a quick recovery.
C. It is being influenced by human activities.
D. It isn't suitable for some bird species any longer.
You see people making big life changes, like going to medical school at 45, because they couldn't imagine being an accountant (会计师) for 20 more years. It seems magical, like one day they just decided to make it happen. For some people, it might work that way. ______36_______ In truth, it takes years of thinking and planning. I've figured out how to streamline things a bit. You may want to try it yourself.
First, accept the uncertainty of life. As much as we don't like to admit it, life is uncertain. ______37_______ If you doubt me, go back 10 years and ask yourself where you thought you'd be now. I doubt it looks exactly like you planned.
Second, be open to possibilities. Many times, we know we want to do something, but we don't know what "it" is. Explore a bit. Brainstorm.______38_______
Then, once you decide on something, it's time to plan a bit. ______39_______ As you meet different difficulties, make sure you spend time questioning your assumptions (设想). Maybe something you always considered true is nothing more than someone else's opinion.
Finally, as paths (路线) open, head down them. Don't worry if you experience false starts. ______40_______ Almost all of the stories readers shared with me about doing life-changing things involved changing plans, disappointment and lots of hard work. But in the end, it was worth it.
A. That might seem a bit obvious.
B. At this point, difficulties start to show up.
C. We never know exactly where it will take us.
D. It stops you from just making big life changes.
E. However, most of the time, it's much less magical.
F. Allow things to come up and be open to new ideas.
G. There will be plenty of those, and you may only need a quick course correction.

主题语境：人与自然——环境保护
本文是说明文。研究发现，气候变暖导致一些鸟类体型变小、翅膀变长，这样有助于它们降温。
32. A。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的new research suggests ... some species are starting to evolve及第二段中的They reported in the journal Science Advances that 36 species have lost weight ... Meanwhile, all the species became smaller in body size, while a third grew longer wings可知，新的研究发现，气候变暖导致一些鸟类体型变小、翅膀变长。

第二节
主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是说明文。人生改变并不是一蹴而就的，而是需要提前计划并付诸努力。
36. E。根据本空前的It seems magical, like one day they just decided to make it happen. For some people, it might work that way及本空后的In truth, it takes years of thinking and planning可知，人生改变并不是一蹴而就的，事实上，它需要长期的计划，E项符合语境。E项是对本空前内容的转折。E项中的 much less magical 与上文中的seems magical 形成对比。
37. C。根据本空前的accept the uncertainty of life和life is uncertain及本空后所举实例可知，本空内容应与“人生的不确定性”相关，故选C项。C项中的it指代life，never know与本空前的 uncertainty和uncertain相照应。
38. F。根据本空前的be open to possibilities、 we know we want to do something, but we don't know what “it” is及Brainstorm可知，本段建议考虑多种可能的选择。由此可知，F项符合语境。F项Allow things to come up and be open to new ideas与本空前的be open to possibilities表达的意思相同。
39. B。根据本空前的once you decide on something, it's time to plan a bit及本空后的As you meet different difficulties, make sure you spend time questioning your assumptions可知，本空应讲述“在计划的过程中会遇到困难”，故选B项。
40. G。根据本空前的Don't worry if you experience false starts及本空后的Almost all of the stories readers shared with me about doing life-changing things involved changing plans, disappointment and lots of hard work可知，错误的开始很常见，但你需要及时做出调整，故选G项。G项中的those指代本空前的false starts，course correction与本空后的changing plans 相照应。

第一节
主题语境：人与自我——生活
本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己上班期间儿子们给她打电话的经历。
41. C。根据下文中的I explained to them that I was ... work and could not be ... phone calls every few minutes和Yet over and over the ... would ring with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，之后，作者要求儿子们有紧急情况时才可以给她打电话，only符合语境。
42. D。43. A。根据上文中的After that, they were ... to call in an emergency及下文中的Yet over and over the ... would ring with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，作者给儿子们解释说自己工作很“忙（busy at）”，不能频繁“接（taking）”电话。
44. C。根据上文的描述、本句中的with both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong及下文中的the calls可知，此处表示“电话会响”，故选phone。
45. B。46. A。根据上文中的both of them trying to explain to me at the same time what the other had done wrong可知，作者的两个儿子给她打电话并不是家里有什么紧急情况，而是互相告状。由此可推断，作者会和儿子们强调他们需要遵守的“规则（rules）”，然后，有一段时间，他们不会随便给她打电话，stop符合语境。
47. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。根据本句中的I was called out of a meeting及my son was on the telephone with an emergency可知，作者正在开会，有人传话说她儿子打电话说有急事，message符合语境。topper 意为“（行为等）前所未有的极端例子”。
48. C。根据上文中的my son was on the telephone with an emergency及本句中的my heart raced可知，作者心里很着急。由此可推断，此处表示“急忙（hurried）”去接电话。
49. D。下文中的there was plenty of food in the house可提示本空答案。
50. A。根据下文中的“But we have no chips,” he responded可知，作者应该是给儿子解释说家里有许多食物，故选explained。
51. B。根据上文中的“But we have no chips,” he responded可知，在作者儿子看来，家里没有薯条就意味着没有食物，Obviously（显然）符合语境。
52. D。根据上文的描述可知，作者要求两个儿子有紧急情况时才可以给她的办公室打电话。因此，当儿子打来电话说有急事时，作者非常担心，但没想到，儿子所指的紧急情况是家里没有薯条。结合本句中的he was aware of my displeasure可知，作者对孩子的行为有些不满，pleased with符合语境。
53. B。根据上文中的Over the years可知，许多年过去了，每当作者想起儿子们小时候给她办公室打电话的事情时，都会觉得很有意思，故选thought。
54. C。55. C。根据上文的描述可知，作者的儿子给她的办公室打电话说有急事， 因为家里没有薯条了。当时，作者在开会，而且她觉得家里没薯条不是什么大事，因此有些不高兴。根据本段的描述可知，许多年过去了，作者意识到大人和孩子对于紧急情况的“理解（views）”不同，而妈妈们应该牢记这一点，这样就会理解孩子的做法，important符
主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是新闻报道。Damen Fletcher利用国际象棋教孩子们如何解决生活中的问题。
56. than。考查固定搭配。根据下文中的He uses what he learned on the chessboard in real life, like, think before you move可知，设空处所在部分意为“象棋不仅仅是游戏”，故填than。more than 后接名词，表示“不只是……；不仅仅……”。
57. learning。考查动词-ing形式。设空处及其后部分在句中作定语修饰students，因为students与learn之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且learn表示的动作正在进行，故填learning。

59. to attend。考查动词不定式。设空处所在部分意为“离开家乡上大学”，故填to attend。to attend college在句中作目的状语。
60. childhood。考查名词。设空处作定语修饰friends，表示“童年”，故填名词childhood。
61. them。考查代词。设空处作介词of的宾语，指代上文中的friends，故填代词them。
62. ages。考查可数名词的复数。设空处表示“年龄”，因为其前有all限定，故填ages。kids of all ages 不同年龄的孩子。
63. a。考查冠词。设空处与new修饰限定problem，因为problem是可数名词，且此处表示泛指，故填不定冠词a。
64. interesting。考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰story，表示“有趣的”，故填形容词interesting。
65. rode。考查一般过去时。设空处与had并列作谓语，所表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填rode。

Dear Jacob,
I am writing to invite you to take part in the colorful and interesting activities of the Silk Road International Arts Festival in our city, which will be held from 15th to 30th next month.
It is aimed to promote international cultural exchanges and cooperation among countries along the Silk Road. During the festival, artists from around 60 countries will bring us many excellent performances such as dramas, dances and concerts. Other than performances, the festival also has lots of lectures and cultural seminars by scholars on topics of history, arts and religion.
I know that you are fond of experiencing different cultures, so this festival is the one you can’t miss. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
参考答案：
The boy was aware of the tide and saw it a couple of times already. He already knew how to do things better. He felt no sorrow, regret, or fear any more whenever the waves came. He just smiled, picked up his tools and left. He knew that the tide was beyond his control and he couldn’t do anything about it. What he could do is how to react to those situations.
Basically, no matter where you are, the waves of life will always find you. What matters most is how you behave during those moments and what they teach about yourselves along this journey called life. Keep calm while looking at things from different viewpoints because sometimes all it takes for changes to happen in your life is by looking at things through different lenses!
