Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football for example has spread around the world swimming as popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back two thousands of years like running or jumping. Chinese boxing for example has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new neither one is two hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other but after a game they often become good friends. Sports helped to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair to win without pride and to lose with dignity. 第二部分阅读 (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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项， A A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes. CCR 200 It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day. The Explorer’s Road The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore breathtaking beaches, spectaculan countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route. South West Coastal 300 The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles. Atlantic Highway The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer. 21. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges? A. CCR 200. B. The Explorer’s Road. C. Atlantic Highway. D. South West Coastal 300. 22. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road? A. Popular beaches and castles. B. Less-widely known spots. C. Landmarks with a long history. D. Newly-developed nature reserves. 23. What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway? A. It closes in summer. B. The route is rough. C. It is crowded sometimes. D. It charges for stopovers. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四条推荐的公路旅行路线以及各自的特点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据South West Coastal 300部分中的“It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.(这是发现英国隐藏宝藏的绝佳方式。在内陆，有要求很高的山丘，为步行者和登山者提供了陡峭的山坡，更不用说数百平方英里的森林和绵延起伏的乡村，自行车爱好者可以在那里骑行。)”可知，South West Coastal 300最适合那些喜欢挑战的人。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据CCR 200部分中的“It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District.(这是一个新的沿海公路之旅，展示了湖区隐秘的一面。)”以及The Explorer’s Road部分中的“The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions.(这条路几乎延伸了整个英格兰东部，以该国一些隐藏的宝藏和最好的景点为特色。)”可知，CCR 200和The Explorer’s Road的共同之处是都有鲜为人知的景点。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Atlantic Highway部分中的“The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.(唯一的缺点是这里的道路偶尔会非常繁忙，所以如果你想要一个更无压力的旅行，试着在夏天去)”可知，Atlantic Highway的缺点是有时很拥挤。故选C。 B It was our first Thanksgiving in the new house, and I wanted everything to be perfect. However, my husband just got a new job in retail, so our family “plan” for everyone to take part in the necessary prep work had been torpedoed. To make matters worse, a key project for me that week had claimed two days of planned vacation. John Lennon was right: Life is what happens while you are making other plans. By Wednesday night, while my husband was selling camping equipment as Christmas gifts, my children and I were at home and into full-blown vacuum mania (吸尘狂潮). I was thankful that a kid’s pocket money did not make up salary as I put my six and eight-year-old to work, going against all child labor laws. For my part, I was as busy as a bee in the toilet bowl, heading for a breakdown. I don’t remember what my son asked me as he was trying his best to finish the vacuuming, but I do remember twisting into that mean-and-tight mom face before barking out a rude answer. Instead of dashing out of view, my second-grader turned off the vacuum and walked the whole way around the stairwell to face me. He never said a word. He just wrapped his arms around me for a hug that made me feel ashamed of myself to this very day. My son took a risk to teach me that sometimes we need a hug most when we are least huggable. It was the perfect Thanksgiving. The people I loved gathered around my table where a pumpkin covered up last year’s gravy stain (肉汁污渍). We dined on just one choice of pie, and my dad used a mismatched dinner fork without complaint. My daughter drew a picture of us on a paper plate where no one had their eyes closed. I learned a lot from an eight-year-old that holiday, and I’ve tried hard to remember it. If you find a person complaining about her job or her dress size, give her a hug. It just might be what she needs most. 24. What does the underlined word “torpedoed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. passed B. scheduled C. targeted D. ruined 25. What is the tone of the author in Paragraph 2? A. confident B. humorous C. alarmed D. concerned 26. What did the author do after her son asked her a question? A. She shouted at him impatiently. B. She hugged him right away. C. She responded to him politely. D. She continued vacuuming delightedly. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Careful planning: the route to an unforgettable Thanksgiving Day B. Family happiness: the result of balancing work and life C. Thanksgiving surprises: imperfect perfection and unexpected hugs D. Holiday letdown: common psychological and emotional experiences 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在感恩节前因计划被打乱而感到焦虑，但在儿子无条件给予拥抱的那一刻，她意识到完美并非节日的全部，那些不完美的瞬间和意外的温暖拥抱构成了最美好的回忆。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“It was our first Thanksgiving in the new house, and I wanted everything to be perfect. However, my husband just got a new job in retail, so our family “plan” for everyone to take part in the necessary prep work(这是我们在新家的第一个感恩节，我希望一切都完美。然而，我丈夫刚刚在零售业找到了一份新工作，所以我们家让每个人都参加必要的准备工作的“计划”)”可知，作者计划全家一起为感恩节做准备，但丈夫的新工作破坏了这个计划，划线词torpedoed与D项“破坏或毁掉”意义相近。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“into full-blown vacuum mania(完全陷入吸尘狂潮)”，“I put my six and eight-year-old to work, going against all child labor laws.(我让我六岁和八岁的孩子去工作，这违反了所有的童工法)”及“I was as busy as a bee in the toilet bowl(我忙得像厕所里的蜜蜂)”可知，这些语言都显示出作者幽默的口吻。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I don’t remember what my son asked me as he was trying his best to finish the vacuuming, but I do remember twisting into that mean-and-tight mom face before barking out a rude answer.(我不记得我儿子在尽力完成吸尘任务时问了我什么，但我确实记得在他问的时候，我露出了那个刻薄而严肃的妈妈脸，然后粗鲁地回答了他)”可知，当儿子问作者问题时，她不耐烦地对他大喊。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了作者在感恩节前因计划被打乱而感到焦虑，但在儿子无条件给予拥抱的那一刻，她意识到完美并非节日的全部，那些不完美的瞬间和意外的温暖拥抱构成了最美好的回忆，故C项“感恩节的惊喜：不完美的完美和意想不到的拥抱”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 C It takes eight hours and $250, 000 to get to what remains of the RMS Titanic. On Sunday, five people got into the underwater craft Titan to make that journey. The craft lost contact only an hour and 45 minutes into the eight-day expedition. Later wreckage (残骸) was found matching that of the craft. Despite the danger of traveling some 12, 500 feet below the surface, this was an irresistible opportunity — very few people get to see the Titanic with their own eyes. Actually, dives to the Titanic have been around for more than 20 years. It wasn’t until 1985 that an expedition led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the Titanic’s final resting place. In July 1986, Ballard placed a memorial on the ship, asking that the site be left undisturbed in memory of the more than 1, 500 people who died there. But that didn’t happen. Instead, competition over who would be allowed to salvage (打捞) artifacts (文物) from the ship heated up. In part, it was an effort to document and conserve the artifacts - but it was also a rush for profits from artifact sales and public displays. In 1992, a federal court ruled that TVLP was the first and exclusive salvor of the Titanic. Now known as RMS Titanic Inc. , the company has conducted eight expeditions to the Titanic, and has sold more than 5, 000 objects taken from the site, including jewelry. While battles for visitation and salvage rights were fought in court, expeditions to the Titanic continued, giving rise to a small but pricey tourist market. Multiple companies offered public tours to explore the Titanic wreck, with prices ranging from $32, 500 to $105, 129 per person over the years. The Titanic was damaged significantly upon impact with the seabed, and slowly, iron-eating bacteria are consuming what remains. In 2019, a dive confirmed huge portions of the ship were collapsing. Today the surrounding site is littered with trash. Visitors have also littered the area with memorials. Attempts to protect the wreck are ongoing. In 2020, the United Kingdom and the United States agreed to work together to grant or deny licenses to people entering and taking artifacts from the site. 28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. How people explored the Titanic B. The danger of diving to the Titanic. C. People’s strong interest in the Titanic D. The details of Titanic expedition. 29. Why did Ballard put a memorial on the Titanic? A. To mark the ship for further research. B. To honor his dead teammates. C. To celebrate his achievement. D. To protect the ship’s remains. 30. What motivates the competition over the rights to salvage objects from the Titanic? A. Scientific exploration B. Historical research C. Economic interest D. Technological development 31. What is the current condition of the Titanic? A. It is being restored B. It is being moved to a new place. C. It is preserved in a museum. D. It is under united protection. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了泰坦尼克号的探索历程，以及对其遗址的保护和争夺。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The craft lost contact only an hour and 45 minutes into the eight- day expedition. Later wreckage (残骸) was found matching that of the craft. Despite the danger of traveling some 12, 500 feet below the surface, this was an irresistible opportunity-very few people get to see the Titanic with their own eyes.”（ 在为期八天的探险中，飞船仅一小时四十五分钟就失去了联系。后来发现了与飞船残骸相匹配的残骸。尽管在海面下12500英尺处航行有危险，但这是一个不可抗拒的机会，很少有人能亲眼看到泰坦尼克号。）可知，第一段主要关于到达泰坦尼克号的危险。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In July 1986, Ballard placed a memorial on the ship, asking that the site be left undisturbed in memory of the more than 1, 500 people who died there.”（1986年7月，巴拉德在船上放置了一个纪念物，要求这个地方不要被打扰，以纪念在那里死去的1500多人。）可推知，巴拉德在泰坦尼克号上放置纪念物的目的是保护船只的遗址。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But that didn’t happen. Instead, competition over who would be allowed to salvage (打捞) artifacts (文物) from the ship heated up. In part, it was an effort to document and conserve the artifacts — but it was also a rush for profits from artifact sales and public displays.”（但这并没有发生。相反，关于谁能被允许从船上打捞文物的竞争升温了。部分原因是为了记录和保存文物，但也是为了从文物销售和公开展示中获利。）可推知，争夺泰坦尼克号上物品的权利的动机是经济利益。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In 2020, the United Kingdom and the United States agreed to work together to grant or deny licenses to people entering and taking artifacts from the site.”（2020年，英国和美国同意共同决定是否授予人们进入遗址并取走文物的许可证。）可推知，泰坦尼克号目前处于联合保护之下。故选D。 D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/ Chinese/ etc." But this kind of response makes me fail to understand the true meaning of accents. Usually, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide deep understandings into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is definitely a part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 32. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self-confidence. B. It reflects their language levels. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It misses the real meaning of accents. 33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To support the use of dialects. B. To show the diversity of dialects. C. To correct a grammatical mistake. D. To highlight a traditional approach. 34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Learn to speak with your local dialect. B. Seek for an official definition of accents. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Distinguish our local languages from others’. 35. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Everyone Has an Accent B. Accents Weaken Our Uniqueness C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Standard English Is at Risk 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景，因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/ Chinese/ etc." But this kind of response makes me fail to understand the true meaning of accents.(当我跟一些朋友提到我们每个人说话都有口音时，他们中的大多数人都自豪地回答：“哦，我说的是标准的英语或汉语等等。” 但这种回应让我无法理解口音的真正含义。)”可知，作者认为他或她的朋友的回应忽略了口音的真正含义。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Every person speaks a dialect, too. (每个人也会说一种方言。)”及本段后文“American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?(以美式英语为母语的人会停顿，这并不意味着新加坡英语口语是 “错误的” 或 “不合语法的”。按照新加坡英语母语者自成体系的语法规则，这个句子结构规范，表意清晰。仅仅因为它与众不同，就该被视为错误吗？)”可知，作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是为了证明使用方言是可以接受的。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide deep understandings into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is definitely a part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.(诸如此类的语言差异能让我们深入了解人们的文化经历和背景。在全球化时代，一个人的说话方式无疑是其身份认同的一部分。大多数人会很乐意谈论自己语言背后的文化。这样一来，我们会更多地了解我们所生活的世界，还能在这个过程中交到朋友。)”可知， 作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! (从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。我们都有！)”以及第三段“Every person speaks a dialect, too. (每个人也会说一种方言。)”可知，作者认为每个人都有口音，而且作者在最后一段指出不同的口音可以让我们更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在这一过程中结交朋友。故A项“Everyone Has an Accent (每个人都有口音)”最能概括本文主旨。故选A。 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。 Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their scats. Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. ____36____ The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet. If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright (怯场). It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the centre of attention. ____37____ People experience it when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic (恐慌), and these feelings are very real. ____38____ The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical (化学的) process takes place in each of us. In reaction to anxiety(焦虑), our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake. ____39____ Practising your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves (神经紧张) and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately (合适地). Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine (咖啡因). ____40____ Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look at a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears. A. These might make your heart race even faster. B. You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright. C. Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress. D. Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out. E. Therefore, you’d better learn to be relaxed about this fear. F. The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it. G. Stage fright prevents you from going further. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了面对舞台怯场的人可能会手出汗、口干、喉咙发紧或膝盖颤抖，这些被科学家称为身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应，并介绍了处理怯场的三种方法。 【36题详解】 根据前文“The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. (大幕拉开，人群安静下来。你只能看到聚光灯照在你身上)”和空后句“The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet. (你的嘴很干，你的手是湿的)”可知，表演在即，但是“你”很紧张，嘴巴发干，手心冒汗。结合选项，D项“Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out. (然后你试着说出你的台词，但似乎什么也说不出来)”符合题意，承上启下。故选D。 【37题详解】 根据空后“People experience it when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. (人们在做运动、做报告、甚至在课堂上演讲时都会有这种感觉。怯场的人可能会手出汗、口干、喉咙发紧或膝盖颤抖)”可知，人们不仅是在舞台上有恐惧感，在做运动、做报告、甚至在课堂上演讲时都会有这种感觉。结合选项，B项“You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright. (你不一定要上台才会怯场)”符合题意，与空后句之间为递进关系。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据下文“In reaction to anxiety (焦虑), our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. (作为对焦虑的反应，我们的身体会产生一种化学物质，让我们准备好迅速战斗或逃跑。科学家将这称为我们身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应)”可知，本段介绍的是面对焦虑，我们的身体的回应。结合选项，C项“Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress. (怯场是身体对压力的反应) ”符合语意。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据下文“First, dress comfortably and appropriately (合适地). Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine (咖啡因). (首先，穿着舒适得体。第二，在表演之前，深呼吸和伸展来帮助放松你的身体。第三，远离含有咖啡因的饮料)”可知，此处介绍的是处理怯场的三种方法。结合选项，F项“The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it. (关于怯场的好消息是，这里有一些方法可以解决它)”为主旨句，下文是在具体介绍处理怯场的三种方法。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据空前句“Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine (咖啡因). (第三，远离含有咖啡因的饮料)”可知，要远离含有咖啡因的饮料。A项“These might make your heart race even faster. (这些可能会让你的心跳更快)”承接空前句，介绍含有咖啡因的饮料的坏处。且空后句“Instead, try a banana! (相反，试试香蕉吧!)”具体提出替代含有咖啡因的饮料的其他食物。故选A。 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。 At the age of 41, I still stutter (口吃).

Of course, none of this would be possible ____56____ protected nature areas. This is why national parks are so important. A few national parks allow things like hotels and recreation areas ____57____ (construct) within them, ____58____ most parks do not allow any development at all. One good example of this is the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia, ____59____ was created in 1975 to protect the reef from overdevelopment and fishing. Stretching over 2, 300 kilometres, the Great Barrier Reef ____60____ (consider) one of the natural wonders of the world. As the largest structure in the world ____61____ (make) by living creatures, it is also home to ____62____ (vary) of tropical wildlife.

Unfortunately 65. has experienced 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了保护自然区域对于发现和欣赏自然美景的重要性，以及国家公园在保护自然中的重要作用。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：当然，如果没有自然保护区，这一切都不会是可能的。根据“none of this would be possible”可推知，句中假设了没有自然保护区的情况，用介词without(没有)构成介词短语，作条件状语。故填without。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一些国家公园允许在公园内建造酒店和休闲区，而大多数公园根本不允许任何开发。allow sb./sth. to do是固定搭配，意为“允许某人/物去做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语，又因construct与其逻辑主语things like hotels and recreation areas之间是被动关系，所以应用不定式的被动式to be constructed。故填to be constructed。 【58题详解】 考查连词。句意：一些国家公园允许在公园内建造酒店和休闲区，而大多数公园根本不允许任何开发。空格前后为两个分句，根据句意，“一些国家公园允许在公园内建造酒店和休闲区”和“大多数公园根本不允许任何开发”之间有对比或转折关系，可用并列连词while或者but连接两个句子。故填while/but。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：澳大利亚的大堡礁海洋公园就是一个很好的例子，该公园建于1975年，旨在保护珊瑚礁免受过度开发和捕捞。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park，先行词指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 【60题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：绵延2300多公里的大堡礁被认为是世界自然奇观之一。consider(认为)是句中谓语动词，与主语the Great Barrier Reef之间是被动关系，描述客观事实，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是专有名词，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态，第三人称单数形式。故填is considered。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为世界上最大的生物结构，它也是各种热带野生动物的家园。句中已有be动词is，make(制作，建造))是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语the largest structure之间是被动关系，用过去分词形式表被动。故填made。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：作为世界上最大的生物结构，它也是各种热带野生动物的家园。varieties of...是固定短语，意为“各种各样的”。故填varieties。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：由于大堡礁就在水面以下，它成为了一个观赏大自然的好地方，每年都吸引着数百万人去那里旅游。可数名词place在句中表示“一个地方”，泛指，excellent发音以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。 【64题详解】 考查副词。句意：不幸的是，近年来大堡礁经历了海洋温度上升，这是对珊瑚礁最大的威胁，导致彩色珊瑚礁变灰，有些甚至死亡。提示词作评注性状语，用副词，结合句中“causing the colorful reefs to turn grey and some even to die”可知，这是不幸的情况，用反义副词unfortunately作状语，意为“不幸地，遗憾地”；句首单词首字母大写。故填Unfortunately。 【65题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：不幸的是，近年来大堡礁经历了海洋温度上升，这是对珊瑚礁最大的威胁，导致彩色珊瑚礁变灰，有些甚至死亡。experience(经历)是句中谓语动词，与主语the Great Barrier Reef 之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语in recent years，表示从过去持续到现在的行为，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是专有名词，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，第三人称单数形式。故填has experienced。 第四部分写作 (共两节;满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假如你是阳光中学的李华，你校乒乓球队应邀去澳大利亚一所中学参加中学生乒乓球友谊赛。作为队长，请你给举办学校的联系Mr. Williams写封邮件询问相关事宜，要点如下： 1.接受邀请，表示感谢； 2.询问食宿、交通及比赛日程等方面的安排； 3.提出相关建议。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Mr. Williams, I am Li Hua, captain of Table Tennis team in Sunshine High School.

I was in Mrs. Black’s third grade class in Wichita Falls, Texas, and I brought home a birthday invitation. “I’m not going, “I said. “She’s a new girl named Ruth, and Berniece and Pat aren’t going, either. She asked the whole class, all 36 of us. ” As Mom studied the handmade invitation, she looked strangely sad. Then she announced, “Well, you are going! I’ll pick up a present tomorrow. ”I couldn’t believe it. Mom had never made me go to a party!I was sure that I’d just die if I had to go. However, Mom remained unaffected, regardless of how much I begged. When Saturday arrived, Mom rushed me out of bed and made me wrap the pretty pink mirror brush-and-comb set she’d bought for $2. 98. She drove me over in her yellow and white car. Ruth answered the door and signed me to follow her up the steepest(最陡峭的), scariest staircase I’d ever seen. Stepping through the door brought me great relief. The hardwood floors shone in the sunlit room, White snow-like mats (垫子)covered the backs and arms of the well-used furniture. The biggest cake I ever saw sat on one table. It was decorated with nine pink candles, a carelessly printed Happy Birthday Ruth and what I think were supposed to be rosebuds. Thirty six candle-filled paper cups were near the cake, each one with a name on it. This won’t be too awful, once everyone gets here, I decided. “Where’s your mom?” I asked Ruth. Looking down at the floor, she said, “Well, she’s sort of sick. ” “Oh. Where’s your dad?” “He’s gone. ” Then there was a silence, except for a few rough coughs from behind a closed door. 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。 Paragraph1: Some 15 minutes passed. …then 10 more. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: We two started with the cake, enjoying each bite. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Some 15 minutes passed, …then 10 more. And a mix of anticipation and disappointment filled the air. I couldn't help but feel frustrated that none of my classmates had shown up for Ruth's birthday party. I heard soft cries coming from Ruth. When I looked up, I saw tears streaming down her face. All at once my eight-year-old heart was filled with sympathy for her and full of rage at my 35 selfish classmates. Determined to make the best of the situation, I made a silent decision to be there for Ruth and celebrate her special day, even if it meant doing it alone. We two started with the cake, enjoying each bite. It was just the two of us, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. We shared stories and laughter. Later, we played games, danced to our favorite songs, and even attempted to make our own paper crowns. Though the room may have been lacking the expected crowd, our bond grew stronger with each passing minute. In a flash it was noon. Mom was honking outside. Ruth hugged me tightly. With tears in her eyes, she whispered, “Thank you! You've made day!” Sure enough, I had made a big difference in Ruth's ninth birthday, and Mom had made a big difference in my life 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者班上新来的同学露丝邀请大家去参加她的生日派对，在得知班里的所有的同学都不去参加派对之后，作者也决定不去参加，但是作者的妈妈在看到邀请函之后，强烈的要求作者参加。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大约15分钟过去了，然后又过了10分钟。”可知，第一段可描写露丝对同学没来参加排队的内心的失望，以及作者决定要陪在露丝身边来庆祝她的生日。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们俩开始吃蛋糕，享受着每一口蛋糕。”可知，第二段可描写作者陪伴露丝庆祝生日分享快乐，以及露丝对作者的感激之情和作者内心深处对妈妈的感激之情。 2.续写线索：失望——默默陪伴——分享快乐——感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看到：see/notice ②.庆祝：celebrate/observe ③.产生影响：make a big difference/have a great influence 情绪类 ①.感谢：show his gratitude/be grateful/thank you ②.下定决心的：determined/resolved 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer games, and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The arabs use horses or camel in much of their everyday life. They use them in their sports too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world, swimming as popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history, but basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is two hundred years old, yet people are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they often become good friends. Sports helped to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with dignity. People all over the world enjoy sports.

Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes. CCR 200 It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day. The Explorer’s Road The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore breathtaking beaches, spectaculan countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route. South West Coastal 300 The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles. Atlantic Highway The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer. 21. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges? A. CCR 200. B. The Explorer’s Road. C. Atlantic Highway. D. South West Coastal 300. 22. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road? A. Popular beaches and castles. B. Less-widely known spots. C. Landmarks with a long history. D. Newly-developed nature reserves. 23. What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway? A. It closes in summer. B. The route is rough. C. It is crowded sometimes. D. It charges for stopovers. B It was our first Thanksgiving in the new house, and I wanted everything to be perfect. However, my husband just got a new job in retail, so our family “plan” for everyone to take part in the necessary prep work had been torpedoed. To make matters worse, a key project for me that week had claimed two days of planned vacation. John Lennon was right: Life is what happens while you are making other plans. By Wednesday night, while my husband was selling camping equipment as Christmas gifts, my children and I were at home and into full-blown vacuum mania (吸尘狂潮). I was thankful that a kid’s pocket money did not make up salary as I put my six and eight-year-old to work, going against all child labor laws. For my part, I was as busy as a bee in the toilet bowl, heading for a breakdown. I don’t remember what my son asked me as he was trying his best to finish the vacuuming, but I do remember twisting into that mean-and-tight mom face before barking out a rude answer. Instead of dashing out of view, my second-grader turned off the vacuum and walked the whole way around the stairwell to face me. He never said a word. He just wrapped his arms around me for a hug that made me feel ashamed of myself to this very day. My son took a risk to teach me that sometimes we need a hug most when we are least huggable. It was the perfect Thanksgiving. The people I loved gathered around my table where a pumpkin covered up last year’s gravy stain (肉汁污渍). We dined on just one choice of pie, and my dad used a mismatched dinner fork without complaint. My daughter drew a picture of us on a paper plate where no one had their eyes closed. I learned a lot from an eight-year-old that holiday, and I’ve tried hard to remember it. If you find a person complaining about her job or her dress size, give her a hug. It just might be what she needs most. 24. What does the underlined word “torpedoed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. passed B. scheduled C. targeted D. ruined 25. What is the tone of the author in Paragraph 2? A. confident B. humorous C. alarmed D. concerned 26. What did the author do after her son asked her a question? A. She shouted at him impatiently. B. She hugged him right away. C. She responded to him politely. D. She continued vacuuming delightedly. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Careful planning: the route to an unforgettable Thanksgiving Day B. Family happiness: the result of balancing work and life C. Thanksgiving surprises: imperfect perfection and unexpected hugs D. Holiday letdown: common psychological and emotional experiences C It takes eight hours and $250, 000 to get to what remains of the RMS Titanic. On Sunday, five people got into the underwater craft Titan to make that journey. The craft lost contact only an hour and 45 minutes into the eight-day expedition. Later wreckage (残骸) was found matching that of the craft. Despite the danger of traveling some 12, 500 feet below the surface, this was an irresistible opportunity — very few people get to see the Titanic with their own eyes. Actually, dives to the Titanic have been around for more than 20 years. It wasn’t until 1985 that an expedition led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the Titanic’s final resting place. In July 1986, Ballard placed a memorial on the ship, asking that the site be left undisturbed in memory of the more than 1, 500 people who died there. But that didn’t happen. Instead, competition over who would be allowed to salvage (打捞) artifacts (文物) from the ship heated up. In part, it was an effort to document and conserve the artifacts - but it was also a rush for profits from artifact sales and public displays. In 1992, a federal court ruled that TVLP was the first and exclusive salvor of the Titanic. Now known as RMS Titanic Inc. , the company has conducted eight expeditions to the Titanic, and has sold more than 5, 000 objects taken from the site, including jewelry. While battles for visitation and salvage rights were fought in court, expeditions to the Titanic continued, giving rise to a small but pricey tourist market. Multiple companies offered public tours to explore the Titanic wreck, with prices ranging from $32, 500 to $105, 129 per person over the years. The Titanic was damaged significantly upon impact with the seabed, and slowly, iron-eating bacteria are consuming what remains. In 2019, a dive confirmed huge portions of the ship were collapsing. Today the surrounding site is littered with trash. Visitors have also littered the area with memorials. Attempts to protect the wreck are ongoing. In 2020, the United Kingdom and the United States agreed to work together to grant or deny licenses to people entering and taking artifacts from the site. 28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. How people explored the Titanic B. The danger of diving to the Titanic. C. People’s strong interest in the Titanic D. The details of Titanic expedition. 29. Why did Ballard put a memorial on the Titanic? A. To mark the ship for further research. B. To honor his dead teammates. C. To celebrate his achievement. D. To protect the ship’s remains. 30. What motivates the competition over the rights to salvage objects from the Titanic? A. Scientific exploration B. Historical research C. Economic interest D. Technological development 31. What is the current condition of the Titanic? A. It is being restored B. It is being moved to a new place. C. It is preserved in a museum. D. It is under united protection. D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents (口音), most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/ Chinese/ etc." But this kind of response makes me fail to understand the true meaning of accents. Usually, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide deep understandings into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is definitely a part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 32. What does the author think of his/ her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self-confidence. B. It reflects their language levels. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It misses the real meaning of accents. 33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To support the use of dialects. B. To show the diversity of dialects. C. To correct a grammatical mistake. D. To highlight a traditional approach. 34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Learn to speak with your local dialect. B. Seek for an official definition of accents. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Distinguish our local languages from others’. 35. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Everyone Has an Accent B. Accents Weaken Our Uniqueness C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D.

You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their scats. Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. ____36____ The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.

Stage fright is actually a form of panic (恐慌), and these feelings are very real. ____38____ The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical (化学的) process takes place in each of us.

As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake. ____39____ Practising your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves (神经紧张) and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately (合适地). Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body.

These might make your heart race even faster. B. You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright. C. Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress. D. Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out. E. Therefore, you’d better learn to be relaxed about this fear. F.

Stage fright prevents you from going further. 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。 At the age of 41, I still stutter (口吃).

I was in Mrs. Black’s third grade class in Wichita Falls, Texas, and I brought home a birthday invitation. “I’m not going, “I said. “She’s a new girl named Ruth, and Berniece and Pat aren’t going, either. She asked the whole class, all 36 of us. ” As Mom studied the handmade invitation, she looked strangely sad. Then she announced, “Well, you are going! I’ll pick up a present tomorrow. ”I couldn’t believe it. Mom had never made me go to a party!I was sure that I’d just die if I had to go. However, Mom remained unaffected, regardless of how much I begged. When Saturday arrived, Mom rushed me out of bed and made me wrap the pretty pink mirror brush-and-comb set she’d bought for $2. 98. She drove me over in her yellow and white car. Ruth answered the door and signed me to follow her up the steepest(最陡峭的), scariest staircase I’d ever seen. Stepping through the door brought me great relief. The hardwood floors shone in the sunlit room, White snow-like mats (垫子)covered the backs and arms of the well-used furniture. The biggest cake I ever saw sat on one table. It was decorated with nine pink candles, a carelessly printed Happy Birthday Ruth and what I think were supposed to be rosebuds. Thirty six candle-filled paper cups were near the cake, each one with a name on it. This won’t be too awful, once everyone gets here, I decided. “Where’s your mom?” I asked Ruth. Looking down at the floor, she said, “Well, she’s sort of sick. ” “Oh. Where’s your dad?” “He’s gone. ” Then there was a silence, except for a few rough coughs from behind a closed door. 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。 Paragraph1: Some 15 minutes passed. …then 10 more. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: We two started with the cake, enjoying each bite. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
