A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. “I thought that someone was pranking me,” said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. “I’m so happy they got interested,” said he.
Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter.
“We felt a moral duty to do this,” said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post.
One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. “Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents,” Zebrauskaite said.
In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors.
Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered.
“So good that the letter didn't matter much. The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?”
4. What does the underlined word “pranking” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Brightening. B. Embarrassing. C. Tricking. D. Pleasing.
5. What happened to the letters in Paragraph 2?
A. They were accidentally found.
B. They remained well-preserved.
C. They were delivered by the former post office.
D. They were hidden by the owner of the building.
6. Which of the following best describes the present post office in Vilnius?
A. Generous. B. Dutiful. C. Honest. D. Cautious.
7. What can we learn from what Klonovska said?
A. Klonovska refused a suitor.
B. Klonovska stopped the wedding.
C. The undelivered letter ruined the relationship.
D. The undelivered letter made little difference to her.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区的一家前邮局的一堵墙被拆掉时发现了18封很久以前发出的信，邮局工作人员很负责任地花了数月时间寻找合适的收信人。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.（一封写给立陶宛一名12岁女孩的信于去年12月才送达，但距波兰笔友寄出这封信的时间已经近51年了。）”可知，立陶宛的女孩收到了51年前寄给她的信，由此推知当她收到信时，她难以相信，甚至可能觉得有人捉弄她，结合选项和女孩的话“I thought that someone was pranking me,”可推知，划线词pranking的意思是“欺骗”，即Tricking，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius.（今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区一家前邮局的一堵墙被推倒，这封信连同另外17封信从通风孔里掉了出来，既脏又皱。）”可知，那些信是偶然发现的，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to.（维尔纽斯的街道名称和编号都发生了变化，邮局工作人员花了数月时间寻找合适的房屋，并与当前的租客和邻居交谈，追踪收件人搬到了哪里。）”及第四段的“We felt a moral duty to do this（我们觉得这样做是一种道义上的责任）”可推知，邮局费劲地寻找收信人，说明邮局是尽职的，即Dutiful，故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Klonovska的话“So good that the letter didn’t matter much. The loss was not life-changing（好在这封信无关紧要。损失并没有改变生活）”可知，那封未送达的信对Klonovska没有什么影响。故选D。
C
Uggs(雪地靴) are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob（懒惰的人）, which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are no sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctic to find Mr. Bigfoot. When wearing the boots, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London ever banned ugg-wearers.
And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.
But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trip and by people in fashion.
Perhaps the secret of uggs’s unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style，it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(纵容的）.
Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.
8. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Uggs Refuse to Die
B. Uggs Have Existed So Long
C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle
D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere
9. Why does the author quote many media’s words in the first paragraph?
A. To prove uggs’ toughness
B. To prove uggs’s popularity
C. To prove people’s approval
D. To prove people’s condemning.
10. What does the author think very strange?
A. Uggs are very common
B. Uggs are inelegant and ugly
C. Uggs are worn by teenagers
D. Uggs stay there regardless
11. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage?
A. They are very comfortable
B. They own private style
C. They have public appeal
D. They are very cheap
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. 但在通往时尚之墓的路上发生了一件有趣的事情：普遍的雪地靴并没有消失。雪地靴从它们最辉煌的时期开始就悄悄地留在了这里。以及最后一段中Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.不知怎的，很多人都讨厌的雪地靴却成功地挑战了时尚圈的残酷逻辑，不管你赞成与否，它都能继续流行下去。可知，本文主要讲述了令人讨厌的雪地靴没有消亡反而继续流行的现象和原因，因此本文的最佳标题是选项A“雪地靴拒绝消亡”符合题意。故选A项。

“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase,” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars. They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.
Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.
Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology.
Present systems for getting from Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs—or by raising taxes. Absent (缺乏)some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck (敬畏的) staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny portion of the cost of sending people.
It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled (公开) his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration: pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush’s proposal, which calls for reprogramming some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science—the one aspect of space exploration that’s working really well.
Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl (投) tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion (推进力)? If new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit (运输) to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.
12. What do Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?
A. Instant value. B. Human inhabitance.
C. Venture cost. D. Exploring spirit.
13. Bush’s proposal is challenged for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in America.
B. American people’s well-being will suffer a lot if it is carried out.
C. its expense is too huge for the government to afford.
D. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment.
14. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?
A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite sensible.
B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program.
C. Bush’s proposal is based on three recent great achievements of space exploration.
D. The achievements in space exploration show how well manned science has developed.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps maintain America’s position as a technological leader.
B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.
C. Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.
D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won’t make great discoveries.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是美国关于火星探索的进程，在未来的某一天，人类将去往火星。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.(他们怀着探索的精神进行了那次旅行。美国冒险进入太空也是出于同样的原因。)”可知，刘易斯和克拉克的探险和火星任务共同之处在于共同的探索精神。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Present systems for getting from Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs—or by raising taxes.(目前从地球表面到近地轨道的系统是如此昂贵，以至于仅仅发射火星任务所需的1000吨左右的航天器和设备就只能通过削减医疗福利、教育支出或其他重要项目——或通过提高税收来实现。)”可知，对于布什总统的提议，如果实施，美国人民的福祉将受到很大损害。同时它也是费用高昂的，导致美国政府不得不提高税收来实现，紧靠政府是负担不起的。同时根据倒数第二段中“Bush’s proposal, which calls for reprogramming some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science—the one aspect of space exploration that’s working really well.(布什的提案呼吁将NASA现有的预算重新规划到火星计划中，这实际上可能会导致这种无人驾驶科学的减少——这是太空探索中非常有效的一个方面。)”可知，布什的提案也变相的减少了无人驾驶科学的预算，因此B,C,D三个选项都可以作为反对布什的提案的理由。根据倒数第二段中“he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration: pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. (他列举了最近太空探索的主要成就：火星上有水的证据的照片，太阳系外100多个行星的发现，以及对火星土壤的研究。)”可知，布什的提案是在美国在火星探测方面已经取得了巨大的成就的基础上提出来的，由此不会作为反对布什的提案的理由。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled (公开) his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration: pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. (有趣的是，当布什总统公布他的提议时，他列出了最近太空探索的主要成就：火星上有水的证据的照片，太阳系外100多个行星的发现，以及对火星土壤的研究。)”可知，布什的提议是基于最近太空探索的三项伟大成就而提出来的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit (运输) to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.(如果新的发射系统能够以合理的价格将重量送入轨道，并且先进的推进系统能够加快去往火星的漫长而缓慢的旅程，那么踏上这颗红色星球的梦想可能会成为现实。当技术成熟时，火星仍然会在那里。)”以及通读全文，文章介绍了美国关于火星探索的进程，同时也指出在未来的某一天只有当技术有一定的发展，梦想才能成为现实即人类才能登上火星。故选C。
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。
Public Speaking
Public speaking can be defined as the act of making a speech in front of a group of listeners.
The types of public speaking are deliberately structured with three general purposes: to inform, to persuade and to entertain. An informative speech has a purpose to inform, or give knowledge to its audience. ___16___For persuasive speech, the speaker would try to change the mindset, perception, or behavior of the audience for their own good. Thus, the speaker needs to look for common ground with the audience and try to relate to what they might agree on. The last type is a ceremonial speech. It tends to be less formal and more personal than the other types of speeches. No matter how well you know the person you are giving speech about, try not to say bad things about them, even if it is meant to be a joke.
___17___Sparing some time to practice will help build confidence and help determine how long the presentation will last. Aside from it, knowing who the audience will be is quite necessary. Try to get as much information as possible regarding this particular area related to the audience. Knowing the “battlefield” in advance will give the speakers a huge advantage.
Language is the main aspect a speaker needs to pay attention to while giving a speech.
___18___A speaker needs to choose their words carefully and make it clear to the audience what they mean. Often, when given a speech, the audience look up to the speaker to give them something new and useful. ___19___Language and delivery alone will not be sufficient if the speaker does not have the body language. The movement and gesture of a speaker also affect the audience. While closing the speech or presentation, speakers can restate their main points, just to remind the audience of the important things that have been said. ___20___
A. It needs to be used clearly.
B. These speeches mark special occasions.
C. The important thing to watch about is not to put in too much information.
D. The key of perfecting anything is through practice, including public speaking.
E. They can also end it with a special message and encourage the audience to ask questions.
F. Knowing how public speaking is done is a key part in understanding the importance of it.
G. Thus, the speaker needs to know how to deliver their speech to fulfill the audience‟s expectation.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，短文介绍了公共演讲类型的目的以及成就完美演讲所注意的几点技巧。
【16题详解】
由第二段“ An informative speech has a purpose to inform, or give knowledge to its audience”可知，一篇内容丰富的演讲有一个目的，就是向听众提供信息或传授知识。所以小题1要告诉读者要注意什么。故C选项“重要的是要注意不要输入太多的信息”符合句意。故C选项切题。
【17题详解】
由第三段“Sparing some time to practice will help build confidence and help determine how long the presentation will last. Aside from it, knowing who the audience will be is quite necessary. Try to get as much information as possible regarding this particular area related to the audience. Knowing the “battlefield” in advance will give the speakers a huge advantage”可知，抽出时间练习将有助于建立信心，并有助于确定演讲的持续时间。除此之外，知道观众是谁是非常必要的。应该尽可能多地了解与观众有关的特定领域的信息。提前了解“战场”将给演讲者带来巨大的优势。所以本段主要再告诉读者“完善一切的关键在于实践，包括公开演讲”也就是小题2所要说明的内容。故D选项“完善一切的关键在于实践，包括公开演讲”符合句意。故D选项切题。
【18题详解】
由第四段“A speaker needs to choose their words carefully and make it clear to the audience what they mean.”可知，一个演讲者需要仔细选择他们讲的话，让观众明白他们的意思。所以小题3要起到承接下文的作用说明“它需要被清楚地使用”。故A选项“它需要被清楚地使用”符合句意。故A选项切题。
【19题详解】
由第四段“Often, when given a speech, the audience look up to the speaker to give them something new and useful.”可知，通常，当演讲时，听众会抬头仰望演讲者，希望他能给他们一些新的有用的东西。所以小题4要说明当听众会抬头仰望演讲者，希望他能给他们一些新的有用的东西。这时演讲者应该知道怎么去做。故G选项“因此，演讲者需要知道如何发表他们的演讲来满足听众的期望”符合句意。故G选项切题。
【20题详解】
由第四段“While closing the speech or presentation, speakers can restate their main points, just to remind the audience of the important things that have been said”可知，在结束演讲或陈述时，演讲者可以重述他们的要点，只是为了提醒听众已经说过的重要事情。所以小题5要与前一句一同说明，在结束演讲时可以什么样的形式结束。故E选项“他们也可以用特别的信息来结束演讲，并鼓励听众提问”符合句意。故E选项切题。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

47. 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。
I am a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic. She was born in August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly. She had showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf. She showed me stitches (针) and gave me her half done project.
I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.
There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse sill, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.
Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging times, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses.
It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was ! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.
注意：
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。
I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. David’s face lit up with joy. Stroking the scarf softly, David excitedly kissed me in the cheek, beaming at me “Thank you, Mum. This is the best gift I have ever received.” Before I could say anything, he dashed out to join Jane with a spring in his step. I felt relieved and content as a mother, seeing David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind. Wearing a smile on my face, I continued my chores that morning.
Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf. Obviously, David noticed Jane could hardly bear the freezing weather with worn-out clothes. “Can I give this to Jane as a Christmas gift?” David ventured in a low voice. Smilingly, I nodded. Seeing David rush into Jane’s house with the scarf in his hand, felt burst of pride. I was happy that both of them received the best gift for Christmas. For Jane-a scarf to keep warm, and for David—a taste of happiness of giving.
