I turned back and asked if she was OK. She explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags. I offered to carry her things and walked her back home, but she refused because she didn’t want to give me any trouble. I told her it didn’t matter and her home was on my way home. It was a white lie (善意的谎言). As I walked with her she talked with me and introduced herself. I in turn told her my name. She asked if I knew Ray Robert. I was shocked and said yes, that was my dad. It turned out that this lady was my dad’s neighbor who had looked after my dad and his sisters when their mother died thirty years ago. My dad had often spoken of her but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family. It was a lovely moment for both of us. When I got home and told my dad about the incident, it made him cry. I was so moved. I am glad that my small active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to the two people.第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ADiscover the Huge Health Benefits of Strength TrainingOne of the best ways to stay fit and healthy as you age is to do strength and power training exercises. It is known that when you are in your thirties, you will begin to lose muscle mass. This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the “middle-age spread” we all fear. What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses. It means that eventually, simple tasks like getting out of a chair and climbing stairs can become more difficult.Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier. By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed. As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls. Here is a book, Strength and Power Training for All Ages, for your reference.Common sense about fitness in the book:·The key muscles to work for an injury-free body·How to tell how much weight is suitable for you·How to strengthen the bones most likely to break·How to take pressure off your knees when walking or running·Why you’ll want to apply heat to sore joints before you exerciseFour total body workouts in the book:·Build bones·Fight diseases·Improve balance·Strengthen muscles &Increase muscle powerGet a copy, start training, and then you’ll discover a whole new self.21. What will happen as people age according to paragraph 1?A. They will need less exercise.B. They will improve reaction speed.C. They will experience muscle loss.D. They will have better staying power.22. What does Strength and Power Training for All Ages mainly teach people to do?A. Train their brains. B. Build a sound body.C. Treat bone diseases. D. Cut down their weight.23. What is the text?A. A notice. B. An oral folktale.C. A scientific paper. D. An advertisement.【答案】21. C 22. B 23.

This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the “middle-age spread” we all fear. What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses. (众所周知，当你在30多岁的时候，你会开始失去肌肉。这种损失实际上会导致关节疼痛，受伤的风险增加，以及我们都害怕的“中年传播”。更重要的是，你年纪越大，肌肉流失得越快。)”可知，随着年龄的增长，人们将经历肌肉损失。故选C。【22题详解】细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier. By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed. As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls. Here is a book, Strength and Power Training for All Ages , for your reference.

(买一本，开始训练，然后你会发现一个全新的自己)”推知，本文是一则宣传书的广告。故选D。BI was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.24. How did the author feel in the early years of school?A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.25. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR?A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.26. What does the circus probably mean to the author?A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.27. Why does the author write the text?A. To express his love for circus performances.B. To stress the value of performing.C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者离开马戏团后的人生经历，以及作者如何将马戏团的经验应用于广播行业，并成为新闻记者，但马戏还是萦绕在作者心头。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.(所以我离开马戏团后的最初几年，整天坐在教室里，感觉更像是在监狱里。)”可知，作者离开马戏团后的最初几年，整天坐在教室里感觉像是在监狱里，也就是感到不自由。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.(因此，当波士顿的新闻电台WBUR给我一份大学毕业后的工作时，我欣然接受了这个机会。一路走来，我发现我真的很喜欢这份工作。我成了WBUR的新闻记者。我小时候在马戏团学到的灵活性和适应能力帮助我在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作——无论是波士顿郊外的破坏性龙卷风，还是2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸事件。)”可知，作者在WBUR工作时，能够在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作，由此可知，这份工作对作者而言如鱼得水，非常轻松。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For me, the circus symbolizes who I am.(对我来说，马戏团象征着我是谁。)”以及最后一段“And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.(最重要的是，对我来说，这意味着回家。)”可知，对于作者而言，马戏团已经是他身份的一部分，象征着作者的身份。故选C。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.(但我渐渐明白，表演才是我真正想要的。对我来说，马戏团象征着我是谁。舞台一直是我感觉最自由的地方。有些人上台前会紧张，但只要假设自己是 (Jacques ze Whipper这个角色，再在脸上画上愚蠢的小胡子，我所有的社交焦虑就消失了。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要表达了作者对马戏的热爱。故选A。CSan Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.28. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for?A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.29. What challenge is the waterfront facing?A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.30. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4?A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.31. What can be learned from the text?A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. (它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选A。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise.(2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市的部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。故选B。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选B。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。故选D。DStarship Technologies originated in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco. The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses. Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.Currently, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1,000 robots. This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet. Starship states that it has done over 1.5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014. The company has raised $102 million so far, including $17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year.Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to identify objects in the way and help guide it to its destination. The robots have a delivery area of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car. And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings.Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex. Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods. There are even some newly produced robots like Nuro, which has made what can be best described as a mini-robotic car, and others that fall somewhere in between. All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements.Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants.32. What do we know about Starship Technologies from Paragraph 1?A. It operates globally.B. It employs university students as designers.C. It is spreading its service on campuses.D. It is diversifying into the field of scientific education.33. Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots?A. They are likely to get lost.B. They work much slower than men.C. They have difficulty going up stairs.D. They are unable to identify customers.34. What does the underlined word “brave” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. New. B. Efficient.C. Conventional. D. Courageous.35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future demand for robot delivery?A. Indifferent. B. Objective.C. Skeptical. D. Worried.【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Starship Technologies公司的配送机器人业务，包括其在大学校园的运营情况、机器人的特点以及配送机器人市场的现状和未来发展趋势。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.(Starship还在其运营领域增加了四所新学校:伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、肯塔基大学、内华达大学和安柏瑞德航空大学)”可知，Starship Technologies正在扩展其在校园中的服务。故选C。【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings.(它们可以爬到路边，但不能爬楼梯，这可能会限制它们对住在高层建筑里的顾客的吸引力)”可知，高层建筑里的人对快递机器人不感兴趣的原因是：它们上楼有困难。故选C。【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句子“Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex.(在美国，通过机器人送货仍然相对brave。有几家初创公司在运营大小不一的送货机器人，从Udelv这样的全尺寸小型货车到Amazon和Yandex等几乎与Starship类似的机器人，应有尽有)”可知，通过机器人进行配送在美国仍然是相对较新的尝试，有一些初创公司正在运营不同大小的配送机器人，这说明“brave”在此处意味着“新的”。故选A。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants.(自疫情爆发以来，对送货机器人的需求有所上升，但随着经济重新开放，依赖餐馆外卖的人越来越少，这种需求是否会持续下去还有待观察)”可推知，作者很客观地看待人们对快递机器人行业的未来需求。故选B。第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Most of us want to be a person of courage.

To do what is right even if the consequences are severe.Courage is what an ordinary woman, Rosa Parks, displayed in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man.

I will never forget the courage of a young mother I prayed with in the hospital. She was battling terminal cancer and refused to give up for the sake of her small children. She fought hard until the end. Or, at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in New York, my friend, a nurse who pushed through her fears to care for the infected. ____39____ And then there was the small business owner I knew who became depressed and had a hard time managing his business. But every day he found the courage to get up from his bed, pray and read his handwritten note listing all the good things in his life.Author Mary Anne Rademacher writes, “____40____ Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saving. ‘I will try again tomorrow,’” When all is said and done, each of us can be a person of courage—now more than ever.A. Courage does not always roar.B. We tend to underestimate the power of courageC. Actually, courage is the most important of all the virtues.D.

On the way, I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer's. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close, and slowly steered the wheel to the right. Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike, giving out a harsh metallic clash. I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a teenager lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream. Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn't get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, shed to check on me, “Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?"“I am all right, but..."I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for "big" sum of money for compensation. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife's protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.注意：1,续写的词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1Seeing the same fright in the boy's eyes, I quickly got out of my car. Paragraph 2The boy offered to give me some money for the damage.【答案】Paragraph 1Seeing the same fright in the boy's eyes, I quickly got out of my car. “Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?” I asked the same questions. The boy leaning on the bike shook his head nervously and spoke nothing. He just looked at me with his blue eyes wide open. I could see why. My car was badly damaged at the rear, which obviously would cost me lots of money to repair it. I just smiled and turned to check my car. Suddenly, the boy said something behind me. Paragraph 2The boy offered to give me some money for the damage. I turned around and looked at him in the eyes and smiled again. “No worries, kid,” I said, “It is not a big deal. I can handle it myself.” The boy was puzzled. “I experienced the same things when I was as your age and I was forgiven, so are you now. Just go home and be careful.” I explained to him. An obvious surprise flashed across his face but was quickly replaced by great relief. He got off his bike and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, sir.” I smiled again, knowing that: A seed of kindness and forgiveness was planted.【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者在停车过程，车尾被一个男孩骑的自行车撞了，而且车受损严重。作者想到自己小时候曾有相似的经历并且得到了车主的原谅，于是作者也原谅这个男孩。作者的善举让男孩惊讶不已并在男孩心中播下了善良的种子。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“看到男孩同样惊恐的眼神，我赶紧下了车。”可知，第一段可描写下车后我看见什么，说了什么和做了什么。②由第二段首句内容“那个男孩提出要给我一些赔偿损失的钱。”可知，第二段可描写我如何拒绝男孩的赔偿并解释原因。2.续写线索：询问——查看情况——提出赔偿——选择原谅——解释原因3.词汇激活行为类①.主动提出：offer/propose/suggest②.转身：turned around/turn to leave③.闪现：flashed across情绪类①.疑惑：puzzled /confused/bewildered【点睛】[高分句型1].
