I loved being a teacher, but for years I was a librarian. However, the timing was never right for me to go back to school. I spent a lot of time learning, acquiring professional knowledge and skills. Finally, I received my media specialist degree. But my biggest challenge was yet to come. I wanted to find a job — a media specialist in a nearby elementary school, but those positions were hard to get.
The new school year started, and I was still working in the school library. As the months passed from August to December without any job prospects (前景), my optimism and faith began to decline. To stay positive, I listened repeatedly to several uplifting songs in the car to my son’s school and my job.
In the beginning of January I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn’t hear anything for weeks. I started to doubt myself. I played my uplifting music so much that my little son who knew the words would sing along. Admiring the dynamic state of my son, suddenly I came to realize that I just had to have faith and remain true to my dream.
Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied, requesting an interview. I went on the interview with confidence and faith. The result was unforgettable. I am proud to say I’m now a media specialist.
From my experience, what I want to share is that ambitious career aspiration is a strong drive for one’s development. Set your goal of life and follow it with all you can.
4. What was the biggest challenge for the author?
A. Getting a job as a media specialist.
B. Adapting to the job of a librarian.
C. Gaining the media specialist degree.
D. Finding a proper time to go back to school.
5. What inspired the author when she was in self-doubt?
A. The uplifting songs. B. The state of her singing son.
C. An unexpected phone call. D. A successful interview.
6. What does the underlined word “aspiration” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Protection. B. Quality. C. Desire. D. Talent.
7. How does the author feel about her experience?
A. It’s challenging but beneficial. B. It’s smooth and rewarding.
C. It’s ordinary but interesting. D. It’s painful and disappointing.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A

The Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.
They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothin, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.
8. What do we know about the Masai?
A. They don’t move in their lives.
B. They each have their own cows.
C. They don’t kill their cattle at all.
D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.
9. What do most of the Masai women work as?
A. Designers. B. Authorities.
C. Housewives. D. Warriors.
10. Which word best describes Masai houses?
A. Modern. B. Lasting C. Simple. D. Safe.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Africans: Living a Moving life
B. Africans: Brave People in the World
C. The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了东非马赛人传统的生活方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. (他们在生活的许多方面都依赖他们的牛。)”可知,马赛人严重依赖牛,故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. (大多数妇女经常在家照顾她们的孩子,做饭,洗衣服和做衣服。)”可推知,大多数马赛妇女扮演着家庭主妇的角色,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village.(这些带有一些基本生活用品的平房围成一个圈,构成了一个马赛村。)”可知,马赛人的房屋很简陋,由此可推知,C项“Simple.(简朴的)”这个词最能描述马赛人的房子,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了东非马赛人传统的生活方式。D项“马赛人:保持传统生活方式”适合作文章的标题,故选D。
D
These days, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to replace at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building caves, climbing trees and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from their mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”
So despite the complicated (复杂的) world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted (想当然).”
This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it makes you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!
12. What makes children lose touch with nature?
A. Playing hide and seek. B. Building caves frequently.
C. Being addicted to a screen. D. Going on adventures in parks.
13. Who should be advised to see the effect of wild time according to Andy Simpson?
A. Teachers. B. Experts. C. Children. D. Parents.
14. What might David probably agree?
A. Children need more time to get close to nature.
B. Children always take it for granted to play outside.
C. What modern children need is spiritual satisfaction.
D. Parents should make larger room for kids to study.
15. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Everyone lives in a high-pressure world.
B. People at any age can enjoy wild time.
C. Adults desire to go back to childhood.
D. Watching TV is a good way to learn about nature.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国有400多个组织呼吁孩子们花费一些时间在户外玩耍,孩子们需要家长的引导和支持,需要更多的时间与大自然接触,以促进他们的发展、独立性和创造力。作者呼吁人们回归到往日的童年时光,去探索大自然的乐趣。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“These days, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.(如今,孩子们在新鲜空气中呆的时间越来越少。他们中的许多人沉迷于电脑或电视上的屏幕——他们似乎生活在一个虚拟世界中。他们与大自然失去了联系。)”可知,孩子们之所以接触自然的时间越来越少,是因为很多孩子沉迷于电脑或者电视屏幕。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, ‘We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.’(国家卫生服务局的Andy Simpson说:‘我们希望家长们看看这种神奇的产品对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力有什么作用,让他们尽情享受。’)”可知,Andy Simpson呼吁父母能够看到神奇的户外活动对孩子的发展、独立性和创造力能带来的好处。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“David Bond from Project Wild Thing says,‘We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted (想当然).’(来自Project Wild Thing的David Bond说:‘我们需要在孩子们的日常生活中为狂野的时间腾出更多的空间,让这一代孩子有我们许多人认为理所当然的经历’)”可知,David Bond认为孩子们需要更多的时间去亲近大自然。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it makes you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!(这对你来说可能听起来有点过时,或者像我一样,这让你想到穿上靴子,到户外去,重温童年。享受生活没有年龄限制!)”可知,到户外去,重温童年,享受生活没有年龄限制,即任何年龄的人都可以享受狂野的时光。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何成为一个好的读者。
【16题详解】
上文提到“Reading is also an increasingly important skill to learn and develop to be successful in school and in the professional world.(阅读也是在学校和职业世界中取得成功越来越重要的技能。)”,这表明阅读的重要性,接下来选项D(然而,你可能会发现很难成为一个好读者。)和上文形成一个转折或对比,指出尽管阅读重要,但有些人可能觉得难以成为好读者。然后引出下文“There are several ways to improve your reading or help you become a better reader.(有几个办法去提高你的阅读或者帮你变成一个更好的读者)”,这样选项D就起到了承上启下的作用。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文提到“Start at a comfortable reading level.(从一个舒适的阅读水平开始。)”,接下来选项E(从阅读略低于你水平的文本开始。)提供了一个具体的建议,从阅读略低于你水平的文本开始。并且后文“If you plan to read a material that is difficult in the beginning, you are more likely to give up and less likely to achieve your goal in the long run.(如果你打算阅读一开始很难的材料,你更有可能放弃,从长远来看不太可能实现你的目标。)” 从反面又印证了选项E的理论的正确性。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文提到“The more you connect reading with comfort and relaxation, the more likely you are to continue developing your reading skills.(你越是把阅读与舒适和放松联系起来,你就越有可能继续发展你的阅读技能。)”这表明本段的主题是如何创造一个有利于阅读的环境。选项B(创造一个愉快的阅读环境。)可以统领下文。故选B。
【19题详解】
上文“As with anything else, developing reading skills takes work.(和其他任何事情一样,培养阅读技能需要付出努力。)”说明需要投入时间和精力来提升阅读能力。选项F(因此,你需要每天留出一些时间来阅读。)进一步指出培养阅读技能需要每天留出一些时间,在含义上和上句能呼应。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Read materials that interest you.(读那些感兴趣的材料)”可知,接下来应该解释为什么选择感兴趣的材料对阅读体验有积极影响。选项G(当阅读是一种愉快的体验时,你会全神贯注于阅读。)指的是,读感兴趣的材料时,就会全神贯注。接下来的内容“If you are bored while reading, you are more likely to put the book down and take part in a different activity.(如果你在阅读时感到无聊,你更有可能放下书,参加另一项活动。)”又从反面又强调了选感兴趣的材料的重要性。所以选项G在此处能起到承上启下的作用。故选G。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今年5月21日是第五个国际茶日,由联合国于2019年11月27日设立。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“the fifth International Tea Day”,先行词指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:作为世界上最大的茶叶生产国,中国大约在5000年前开始消费茶叶,是各种茶叶的故乡。空处应为谓语动词,根据时间状语“about 5,000 years ago”可知,应为一般过去时,表示过去发生的动作。故填began。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为世界上最大的茶叶生产国,中国大约在5000年前开始消费茶叶,是各种茶叶的故乡。空处应为介词,后接名词短语“a variety of tea”作宾语;固定短语a home to...表示“……的家”,符合句意。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:茶从最早的作为一种汤的新鲜煮茶发展到后来的干茶和腌制茶,从简单的绿茶发展到六种主要茶的混合。根据“six major”可知,空处应为名词复数;kind表示“种类”,为可数名词,six major kinds of tea表示“六种主要茶”,符合句意。故填kinds。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:据说,第一个发现茶功效的人是神农——中国农业和草药之父。空处应用冠词,修饰名词“effects”,特指茶的功效,故应用定冠词the。故填the。

【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:中国的茶道不仅包括茶的选择,还包括许多其他因素,如水的类型,器皿,时间和呈现。固定短语not only...but also...表示“不但……而且……”,符合句意。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:许多传统的中国家庭在饭后或迎客时喝茶,这通常被认为是一种健康的习惯,反映了丰富的文化和历史。根据连词“when”可知,其后为时间状语从句的省略句,动词greet与主语“Many traditional Chinese families”之间为主动关系,表示正在进行,谓语动词greet用be doing形式,状语从句中,当从句主语和主句主语一致(或者从句主语为it)且从句谓语中包含be动词,可省略从句主语和be动词,用现在分词greeting。故填greeting。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
It had been one of those terrible days. My three-month-old son, Tate, had not napped all day and now lay with his head on my shoulder, crying at times. I looked around. Laundry was waiting for the washing machine, dirty diapers(尿布)were giving out a smell, and the kitchen was also a mess and not to mention preparing dinner for my husband. I surveyed my dirty and disorderly little world. Tiredness and boredom washed over me, leaving me lightheaded and upset. When would this day end? Who could give me a hand?
For the last couple of weeks, I had managed to have the house cleaned and dinner well under way when my husband Jim got home from work at the end of the day. He worked in a company all day and I got to stay home with the baby. It seemed like a fair trade. So I struggled to offer him a comfortable house and a delicious dinner when he arrived home. Actually, Jim had been very impressed and he was always generous to say I had done a good job. His understanding and praise made me very happy with myself. Once a while I thought how smooth my life was!
This week, however, everything changed.
Tate was not in normal state. He was getting his first tooth, which made him uncomfortable. Nothing seemed to relieve his pain for long. He seemed glued to me all day. He felt painful so he had a hard time having a short sleep. Therefore, I was unlikely to spare time to manage the housework.
Now it was 5: 00 pm. My husband, Jim, was on his way home. I heated leftovers(剩菜)while holding my crying little guy. I felt more and more anxious. Then I heard the door opened and Jim came in. He surveyed the mess in the kitchen. “Not a good day?” When he turned to me, he didn’t need an answer. He could see I was tired and still in the sweats.
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。
Jim approached us and took Tate from my arms.

The next minute I was fast asleep.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jim approached us and took Tate from my arms. “Let's give mom a break,” he whispered and kissed my forehead. With a surprising expertise, he juggled between calming Tate and starting the clean-up process. Within minutes, the room started to look orderly, and the comforting sound of the baby’s now gentle coos filled the air. Jim’s presence brought a sense of peace and normalcy, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how he turned our tumultuous day around. I sank into the couch, my mind easing for the first time all day, grateful for Jim’s support.
The next minute I was fast asleep. The weight of the day’s troubles lifted off my shoulders by Jim’s capable hands. When soft murmurs eventually pulled me from my slumber, I found the living room in a state of calm. Jim had not only cared for Tate, who now slept soundly, but also warmed up dinner. The aroma invited me back to reality, a gentle reminder that even the most chaotic days could end in quiet and comfort with the support of a caring partner.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了主人公在一天中面临着种种困境和疲惫,尤其是她的孩子Tate情绪不稳定,无法入睡,使得她无法完成家务和准备晚餐。之前主人公一直能够顺利完成家务并准备好晚餐,但这一周情况发生了变化,主人公感到非常焦虑。文章中还提到了她丈夫Jim的理解和赞赏对她的影响,以及此刻Jim回家后对她疲惫的样子的观察。

②由第二段首句内容“下一分钟,我很快就睡着了。”可知,第二段可描写Jim热好晚餐,叫醒作者,作者感受到了丈夫的支持。

I loved being a teacher, but for years I was a librarian. However, the timing was never right for me to go back to school. I spent a lot of time learning, acquiring professional knowledge and skills. Finally, I received my media specialist degree. But my biggest challenge was yet to come. I wanted to find a job — a media specialist in a nearby elementary school, but those positions were hard to get.
The new school year started, and I was still working in the school library. As the months passed from August to December without any job prospects (前景), my optimism and faith began to decline. To stay positive, I listened repeatedly to several uplifting songs in the car to my son’s school and my job.
In the beginning of January, I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn’t hear anything for weeks. I started to doubt myself. I played my uplifting music so much that my little son who knew the words would sing along. Admiring the dynamic state of my son, suddenly I came to realize that I just had to have faith and remain true to my dream.
Within days, I received a phone call from the school to which I had applied, requesting an interview. I went on the interview with confidence and faith. The result was unforgettable. I am proud to say I’m now a media specialist.
From my experience, what I want to share is that ambitious career aspiration is a strong drive for one’s development. Set your goal of life and follow it with all you can.
4. What was the biggest challenge for the author?
A. Getting a job as a media specialist.
B. Adapting to the job of a librarian.
C. Gaining the media specialist degree.
D. Finding a proper time to go back to school.
5. What inspired the author when she was in self-doubt?
A. The uplifting songs. B. The state of her singing son.
C. An unexpected phone call. D. A successful interview.
6. What does the underlined word “aspiration” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Protection. B. Quality. C. Desire. D. Talent.
7 How does the author feel about her experience?
A. It’s challenging but beneficial. B. It’s smooth and rewarding.
C. It’s ordinary but interesting. D. It’s painful and disappointing.
C
The Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.
They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothin, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.
8 What do we know about the Masai?
A. They don’t move in their lives.
B. They each have their own cows.
C. They don’t kill their cattle at all.
D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.
9. What do most of the Masai women work as?
A. Designers. B. Authorities.
C. Housewives. D. Warriors.
10. Which word best describes Masai houses?
A. Modern. B. Lasting C. Simple. D. Safe.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Africans: Living a Moving life
B. Africans: Brave People in the World
C. The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle

These days, children spend less time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to replace at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building caves, climbing trees and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from their mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go.”
So despite the complicated (复杂的) world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted (想当然).”
This might sound a bit old-fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it makes you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!
12. What makes children lose touch with nature?
A. Playing hide and seek. B. Building caves frequently.
C. Being addicted to a screen. D. Going on adventures in parks.
13. Who should be advised to see the effect of wild time according to Andy Simpson?
A. Teachers. B. Experts. C. Children. D. Parents.
14. What might David probably agree?
A. Children need more time to get close to nature.
B. Children always take it for granted to play outside.
C. What modern children need is spiritual satisfaction.
D. Parents should make larger room for kids to study.
15. What can be inferred from this passage?
A. Everyone lives in a high-pressure world.
B. People at any age can enjoy wild time.
C. Adults desire to go back to childhood.
D. Watching TV is a good way to learn about nature.

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。
It had been one of those terrible days. My three-month-old son, Tate, had not napped all day and now lay with his head on my shoulder, crying at times. I looked around. Laundry was waiting for the washing machine, dirty diapers(尿布)were giving out a smell, and the kitchen was also a mess and not to mention preparing dinner for my husband. I surveyed my dirty and disorderly little world. Tiredness and boredom washed over me, leaving me lightheaded and upset. When would this day end? Who could give me a hand?
For the last couple of weeks, I had managed to have the house cleaned and dinner well under way when my husband Jim got home from work at the end of the day. He worked in a company all day and I got to stay home with the baby. It seemed like a fair trade. So I struggled to offer him a comfortable house and a delicious dinner when he arrived home. Actually, Jim had been very impressed and he was always generous to say I had done a good job. His understanding and praise made me very happy with myself. Once a while I thought how smooth my life was!
This week, however, everything changed.
Tate was not in normal state. He was getting his first tooth, which made him uncomfortable. Nothing seemed to relieve his pain for long. He seemed glued to me all day. He felt painful so he had a hard time having a short sleep. Therefore, I was unlikely to spare time to manage the housework.
Now it was 5: 00 pm. My husband Jim, was on his way home. I heated leftovers(剩菜)while holding my crying little guy. I felt more and more anxious. Then I heard the door opened and Jim came in. He surveyed the mess in the kitchen. “Not a good day?” When he turned to me, he didn’t need an answer. He could see I was tired and still in the sweats.
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。
Jim approached us and took Tate from my arms.
