Tennisline Summer Camp Fee: From 2, 500 RMB/week What’s cool about Tennisline is that the academy closely monitors the progress of their young athletes ensuring they are on the right path. They also take on the official international curriculum, which tailors the program based on age groups. Community Center Shanghai X Camp Greenwoods Fee: From 9, 800 RMB/week Campers spend 7 days 40 km away from the busy city center and they'll get to try various sports and activities such as kayaking, climbing, archery, and ziplining as well as meet new friends.

Bilingual STEM Summer Camp for Racers Fee: From 9, 980 RMB/week Over a period of 5 days, young campers will get to experience creative technology at the TESLA factory, learn about the structure and the workings of a vehicle. There are other fun topics to choose from such as “Rock ‘n’ Roll Robot Music Festival” (robotics and coding) and “Travel Around the World” (creative art and architectural design). Unlike some of the other camps, our camps will only take place once (no repeats of the same topic). Shanghal Summer Arts Camp Fee: From 2. 200 RMB/week Brought to you by the Queen of Arts Studio, this unique summer camp allows kids to learn, create, and celebrate their creativity from the comforts of their own home but still under the close guidance of an experienced organizer.

(随着夏天的临近，家庭可能会为孩子们寻找有趣的活动。如果你在上海，让孩子们在放学后保持欢笑和学习的一个好方法就是给他们报名参加夏令营。)”可知，这篇文章主要是给家长们看的，为他们提供一些夏令营的选择，C项“父母”符合文意，故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Community Center Shanghai X Camp Greenwoods”部分“Campers spend 7 days 40 km away from the busy city center and they’ll get to try various sports and activities such as kayaking, climbing, archery, and ziplining as well as meet new friends. (露营者在离繁忙的市中心40公里的地方度过7天，他们将尝试各种运动和活动，如皮划艇、攀岩、射箭和滑索，以及结识新朋友。)”可知，Henry如果想参加皮划艇活动，应该选择“Community Center Shanghai X Camp Greenwoods”，费用为“From 9, 800 RMB/week”，B项“9, 800 RMB”符合文意，故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Bilingual STEM Summer Camp for Racers”部分“Unlike some of the other camps, our camps will only take place once (no repeats of the same topic). (与其他一些夏令营不同，我们的夏令营只举办一次（同一主题不会重复）。)”和“Shanghai Summer Arts Camp”部分“Each week will feature unique and exciting topics. (每周都会有独特而令人兴奋的主题。)”可知，这两个夏令营的共同点是都有独特的、不会重复的主题，故选D。 B An army officer has spoken of her delight at becoming the first woman of colour to complete an expedition(远征)to the South Pole on her own. In a message recorded at the pole, Captain Preet Chandi, 32, thanked supporters for helping her to make the 700-mile journey in 40 days. “I made it to the South Pole where it's snowing,” she said. “Feeling so many emotions right now. I knew nothing about the polar world three years ago and it feels so unreal to finally be here.” “This expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push the envelope and to believe in themselves. You are capable of anything you want. No matter where you are from or where your start line is, everybody starts somewhere,” she said. The army officer, who once had dreams of being a tennis champion, started from a camp by Union Glacier where even summer temperatures can fall to minus 50℃. She pulled her equipment on a journey that she thought would take 45 days at least. She wrote on her website Polarpreet: “There are only a few female adventurers that have completed the expedition alone. It is time to add some more names, diversity and to make history. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model. I want my eight-year-old niece to grow up without limitation, knowing the possibilities of what you can achieve in life are endless. ” In 2019, there were nine successful expeditions to the South Pole from the coast, four of which were by women. 4.

To speak highly of women's efforts. B. To stress the expeditions' significance. C. To show the wonders of the polar world. D. To congratulate the nine on their success. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了军队军官Preet Chandi成为第一位独自完成南极探险的有色人种女性的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push the envelope and to believe in themselves. You are capable of anything you want. No matter where you are from or where your start line is, everybody starts somewhere,” she said. (她说：“这次探险的意义远不止于我。我想鼓励人们挑战极限，相信自己。你有能力实现任何你想要的事情。无论你们来自哪里，或者你们的起点在哪里，每个人都是从某个地方开始的。”)”可知，Preet的探险更深层次的意义在于激励他人，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In a message recorded at the pole, Captain Preet Chandi, 32, thanked supporters for helping her to make the 700-mile journey in 40 days. (在极点录制的信息中，32岁的Preet Chandi上尉感谢支持者们帮助她在40天内完成了700英里的旅程。)”以及第四段“She pulled her equipment on a journey that she thought would take 45 days at least. (她拖着装备开始了她认为至少需要45天的旅程。)”可知，Preet比预期更早地完成了探险，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“She wrote on her website Polarpreet: “There are only a few female adventurers that have completed the expedition alone. It is time to add some more names, diversity and to make history. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model. I want my eight-year-old niece to grow up without limitation, knowing the possibilities of what you can achieve in life are endless. ” (她在她的网站Polarpreet上写道：“只有少数女性探险家独自完成了探险。是时候增加更多的名字、多样性以及创造历史了。我一直有这个想法，我可以取得一些伟大的成就，让我成为一个榜样。我希望我八岁的侄女在成长过程中不受限制，知道你在生活中所能取得的成就是无限的。”)”可知，Preet敢于挑战，有勇气，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In 2019, there were nine successful expeditions to the South Pole from the coast, four of which were by women. (2019年，有九次从海岸到南极的成功探险，其中四次是由女性完成的。)”可知，作者在最后一段提到女性在探险中的成功，是为了赞扬女性的努力，故选A。 C Trying to imagine white sheep, jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known solution for sleeplessness. I don't have the problem often, but I've often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore yourself to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses or kangaroos? History supposedly provides the answer: It was said to be a way for ancient shepherds (牧羊人) short of human company for weeks at a time, to fall asleep each night-they counted their sheep until sleepy. Whether that's true or not, I don’t know. So does counting sheep really help you fall asleep? A 2002 study on fighting sleeplessness put the way to the test. In fact, that wasn’t the point of the research. “Our study more than 20 years ago wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery (图像) to fight sleeplessness, ” said Harvey, who conducted the research. Harvey’s research divided 50 people into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable than people in the distraction or no instruction group. While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of treating sleeplessness, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep expert. “Counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “Instead, we work out a menu of options with people, because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time.” Over two decades later, Harvey still emphasizes that using one’s imagination is a top tip. 8. Why did the author mention other animals in paragraph 1? A. To stress the equality of all animals. B. To show his doubt about the solution. C. To prove the effect of counting sheep. D. To confirm his assumption about sleep. 9. What’s the focus of the study in 2002? A. Sleeping habits. B. Testing methods. C. Counting sheep. D. Using imagination. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Imagining scenes may aid in sleep. B. Counting sheep cures sleeplessness. C. Falling asleep faster removes worries. D. Rating thoughts can be uncomfortable. 11. Which of the following would Harvey most probably agree with? A. Offering a nutritious menu for sleepless people. B. Regarding all traditional methods as ineffective. C. Suggesting a customized plan for each individual. D. Supporting the use of imagination as the only way. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨的是失眠解决方法，特别是对比数羊和使用想象力的效果，并强调个体化的治疗方案的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Trying to imagine white sheep, jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known solution for sleeplessness. I don't have the problem often, but I've often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore yourself to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses or kangaroos?(试着想象白羊一只接一只地跳过篱笆，这是一个众所周知的失眠解决方案。我不经常遇到这个问题，但我经常想知道是谁想出了这样一个愚蠢的建议。如果这个想法是为了让你无聊到睡着，为什么不倒着数呢？谁决定数羊的？为什么不是兔子、马或袋鼠呢？)”可知，作者提到兔子、马、袋鼠等其他动物来表达对具体选择羊来计数以诱导睡眠的怀疑和好奇，即他对通过数羊来解决睡眠问题方案表示怀疑。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“A 2002 study on fighting sleeplessness put the way to the test. In fact, that wasn’t the point of the research. “Our study more than 20 years ago wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery to fight sleeplessness, ” said Harvey, who conducted the research.(2002年一项关于对抗失眠的研究对此进行了测试。事实上，这并不是这项研究的重点。“我们20多年前的研究不是关于数羊；而是用想象来对抗失眠，”主持这项研究的哈维说。) ”可知，2002年研究的重点是使用想象作为对抗失眠的方法，即使用想象力。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Harvey’s research divided 50 people into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable than people in the distraction or no instruction group.(哈维的研究将50人分成三组。第一组没有关于如何入睡的指导，而第二组的成员被告知可以用任何他们想要的方式来转移他们的想法、担忧和担忧。第三组被要求完成一项有趣的想象任务，比如创造或回想一个瀑布、一个假期或一个夏日阳光下的下午。那些使用想象的人入睡的速度比其他两组快得多，他们认为自己的想法、担忧和担心与注意力转移组或无指导组的人相比没有那么不舒服。)”可知，第四段讨论了这项研究的发现，表明使用想象一些场景比其他方法能帮助更快入睡，即想象可能有助于睡眠。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of treating sleeplessness, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep expert. “Counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “Instead, we work out a menu of options with people, because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time.” Over two decades later, Harvey still emphasizes that using one’s imagination is a top tip.(虽然哈维并没有把数羊作为一种治疗失眠的方法进行研究，但根据她多年来作为睡眠专家的经验，她确实有自己的观点。“数羊通常是行不通的，”她说。“相反，我们和人们一起制定了一个选项菜单，因为每个人都是不同的，没有一个选项每次都能奏效。”20多年后，哈维仍然强调，发挥想象力是最重要的建议。)”可知，哈维强调不同的人应该使用不同的方法才有效，坚持利用自己的想象力作为对抗失眠的首要建议，但不是唯一做法，即哈维主张为每个人提供量身定制的计划。故选C。 D Britain is indeed a nation featured by odd traditions. As the late Bank Holiday Monday is around the comer, so too comes a series of slightly eccentric traditions, including the yearly cheese-rolling competition in Gloucestershire. Each year, on the late Bank Holiday Monday, hundreds of people gather at Gloucestershire to attend the yearly Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event, which is likely the most British thing in existence. The tradition dates back to the 1880s, though some have suggested it could be even older — as much as 600 years. However, the race winners have only been recorded since 1985. Competitors gather at the top of the almost vertical (垂直的) Cooper’s Hill in the village of Brockworth, with a nine-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese sent rolling down the hill, often reaching speeds of over 70 miles per hour. Competitors race down the 200-yard height of the hill and the first one to make it to the bottom wins the cheese. What a prize! The competition comes with its risks though. Many competitors fall and roll down the hill as they try to beat the others in this event. In 1997, 33 people needed medical treatment. In 2013, the cheese was replaced with a soft object as a safety protection. Last year, at least one person was carried away on a stretcher (担架), and with no of Ticial organizers, the event takes place without the support of the emergency services or local of Ticials. As such, volunteers from the local football club help catch falling competitors and see to any of the injured athletes. Despite its risks and lack of official support, the tradition is greatly supported by its competitors and the local community. As we are amazed by this unique show of British tradition, we are reminded of the lasting attraction of oddness in British culture. 12. What does the underlined word “eccentric” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Joyful. B. Strange. C. Romantic. D. Dangerous. 13. What is the prize for the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling competition? A. A wheel. B. Nine pounds. C. A cheese. D. Some records. 14. What can be inferred about the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event? A. It lacks any safety protection. B. It has been cancelled this year. C. Its organizers are irresponsible. D. Its competitors are adventurous. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A Get to Know an Odd Tradition B. The History of a British Tradition C. Celebrate the Coming Bank Holiday D. A Tradition That Attracts More Players 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国的一项奇特传统——库珀山滚奶酪比赛。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Britain is indeed a nation featured by odd traditions. As the late Bank Holiday Monday is around the corner, so too comes a series of slightly … traditions, including the yearly cheese-rolling competition in Gloucestershire(英国确实是一个以奇特传统为特色的国家。随着银行假日周一即将到来，一系列略显……传统也随之而来，包括格洛斯特郡一年一度的滚奶酪比赛)”可知，英国有许多奇特的传统，包括滚奶酪比赛，由此可推测，“eccentric”意为“古怪的”，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Competitors race down the 200-yard height of the hill and the first one to make it to the bottom wins the cheese.(参赛者沿着200码高的山坡向下跑，第一个到达山底的人赢得奶酪)”可知，滚奶酪比赛的奖品是一块奶酪，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The competition comes with its risks though. Many competitors fall and roll down the hill as they try to beat the others in this event. In 1997, 33 people needed medical treatment. In 2013, the cheese was replaced with a soft object as a safety protection. Last year, at least one person was carried away on a stretcher, and with no official organizers, the event takes place without the support of the emergency services or local officials. As such, volunteers from the local football club help catch falling competitors and see to any of the injured athletes.(然而，比赛也伴随着风险。许多参赛者为了在比赛中击败其他人，摔倒并滚下山坡。1997年，33人需要接受治疗。2013年，为了安全起见，奶酪被换成了软物体。去年，至少有一个人被担架抬走，由于没有官方组织者，比赛在没有急救服务或当地官员支持的情况下进行。因此，来自当地足球俱乐部的志愿者帮助接住摔倒的参赛者，并照顾受伤的运动员)”可知，滚奶酪比赛具有一定的危险性，参赛者需要冒险参加，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“including the yearly cheese-rolling competition in Gloucestershire(包括格洛斯特郡的年度奶酪滚动比赛在内)”、第二段“Each year, on the late Bank Holiday Monday, hundreds of people gather at Gloucestershire to attend the yearly Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event, which is likely the most British thing in existence(每年，在银行假期的周一，数百人聚集在格洛斯特郡参加一年一度的库珀山奶酪滚落活动，这可能是现存最具英国特色的事情)”、第三段“Competitors race down the 200-yard height of the hill and the first one to make it to the bottom wins the cheese.(参赛者沿着200码高的山坡向下跑，第一个到达山底的人赢得奶酪)”以及最后一段“Despite its risks and lack of official support, the tradition is greatly supported by its competitors and the local community. As we are amazed by this unique show of British tradition, we are reminded of the lasting attraction of oddness in British culture(尽管这项传统活动存在风险并且缺乏官方支持，但它得到了参赛者和当地社区的大力支持。当我们对这一独特的英国传统表演感到惊叹时，我们被提醒了英国文化中古怪事物持久的吸引力)”可知，文章主要介绍了英国的一个奇特传统——每年在格洛斯特郡举行的库珀山奶酪滚动比赛，以及这个传统所展现出的英国文化中古怪的持久魅力。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。 Life is all about struggles. ___16___.

B An army officer has spoken of her delight at becoming the first woman of colour to complete an expedition(远征)to the South Pole on her own. In a message recorded at the pole, Captain Preet Chandi, 32, thanked supporters for helping her to make the 700-mile journey in 40 days. “I made it to the South Pole where it's snowing,” she said. “Feeling so many emotions right now. I knew nothing about the polar world three years ago and it feels so unreal to finally be here.” “This expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push the envelope and to believe in themselves. You are capable of anything you want. No matter where you are from or where your start line is, everybody starts somewhere,” she said. The army officer, who once had dreams of being a tennis champion, started from a camp by Union Glacier where even summer temperatures can fall to minus 50℃. She pulled her equipment on a journey that she thought would take 45 days at least. She wrote on her website Polarpreet: “There are only a few female adventurers that have completed the expedition alone. It is time to add some more names, diversity and to make history. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model. I want my eight-year-old niece to grow up without limitation, knowing the possibilities of what you can achieve in life are endless. ” In 2019, there were nine successful expeditions to the South Pole from the coast, four of which were by women. 4. What was the deeper significance of Preet's expedition? A. It focused on exploring the unknown. B. It aimed to make a difference to others. C. It was an attempt to achieve recognition. D. It was a personal journey of self-discovery. 5. What do we know from this passage about Preet's expedition? A. Preet completed the expedition earlier than expected. B. Preet started the expedition from a hot summer camp. C. Preet is the first female to finish the expedition alone. D. Preet was slowed by the equipment for the expedition. 6.

To speak highly of women's efforts. B. To stress the expeditions' significance. C. To show the wonders of the polar world. D. To congratulate the nine on their success. C Trying to imagine white sheep, jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known solution for sleeplessness. I don't have the problem often, but I've often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore yourself to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses or kangaroos? History supposedly provides the answer: It was said to be a way for ancient shepherds (牧羊人) short of human company for weeks at a time, to fall asleep each night-they counted their sheep until sleepy. Whether that's true or not, I don’t know. So does counting sheep really help you fall asleep? A 2002 study on fighting sleeplessness put the way to the test. In fact, that wasn’t the point of the research. “Our study more than 20 years ago wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery (图像) to fight sleeplessness, ” said Harvey, who conducted the research. Harvey’s research divided 50 people into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable than people in the distraction or no instruction group. While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of treating sleeplessness, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep expert. “Counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “Instead, we work out a menu of options with people, because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time.” Over two decades later, Harvey still emphasizes that using one’s imagination is a top tip. 8. Why did the author mention other animals in paragraph 1? A. To stress the equality of all animals. B. To show his doubt about the solution. C. To prove the effect of counting sheep. D. To confirm his assumption about sleep. 9. What’s the focus of the study in 2002? A. Sleeping habits. B. Testing methods. C. Counting sheep. D. Using imagination. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Imagining scenes may aid in sleep. B. Counting sheep cures sleeplessness. C. Falling asleep faster removes worries. D. Rating thoughts can be uncomfortable. 11. Which of the following would Harvey most probably agree with? A. Offering a nutritious menu for sleepless people. B Regarding all traditional methods as ineffective. C. Suggesting a customized plan for each individual. D. Supporting the use of imagination as the only way. D Britain is indeed a nation featured by odd traditions. As the late Bank Holiday Monday is around the comer, so too comes a series of slightly eccentric traditions, including the yearly cheese-rolling competition in Gloucestershire. Each year, on the late Bank Holiday Monday, hundreds of people gather at Gloucestershire to attend the yearly Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event, which is likely the most British thing in existence. The tradition dates back to the 1880s, though some have suggested it could be even older — as much as 600 years. However, the race winners have only been recorded since 1985. Competitors gather at the top of the almost vertical (垂直) Cooper’s Hill in the village of Brockworth, with a nine-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese sent rolling down the hill, often reaching speeds of over 70 miles per hour. Competitors race down the 200-yard height of the hill and the first one to make it to the bottom wins the cheese. What a prize! The competition comes with its risks though. Many competitors fall and roll down the hill as they try to beat the others in this event. In 1997, 33 people needed medical treatment. In 2013, the cheese was replaced with a soft object as a safety protection. Last year, at least one person was carried away on a stretcher (担架), and with no of Ticial organizers, the event takes place without the support of the emergency services or local of Ticials. As such, volunteers from the local football club help catch falling competitors and see to any of the injured athletes. Despite its risks and lack of official support, the tradition is greatly supported by its competitors and the local community. As we are amazed by this unique show of British tradition, we are reminded of the lasting attraction of oddness in British culture. 12. What does the underlined word “eccentric” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Joyful. B. Strange. C. Romantic. D. Dangerous. 13. What is the prize for the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling competition? A. A wheel. B. Nine pounds. C. A cheese. D. Some records. 14. What can be inferred about the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling event? A. It lacks any safety protection. B. It has been cancelled this year. C. Its organizers are irresponsible. D. Its competitors are adventurous. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Get to Know an Odd Tradition B. The History of a British Tradition C. Celebrate the Coming Bank Holiday D. A Tradition That Attracts More Players 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。 Life is all about struggles. ___16___.
