Whatever your taste, there’s a food festival to match it — no matter how special. The Meatopia This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops. The National Honey Show If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1923, is the place for you. This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally. The Orange Sauce Festival Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for many years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here. The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival If you’d prefer something with a little more kick, then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, people here specialize in baking gingerbread, and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones. 1. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They hold workshops. C. They originated from London. D. They last three days. 2. If you are interested in foreign food, which festival do you like best? A. The Meatopia. B. The National Honey Show. C The Orange Sauce Festival. D. The Ginger and Spice Festival. 3. What is special about the Ginger and Spice Festival? A. It sells spicy food. B. The ginger used in the festival is from India. C. It has something to do with a historic figure. D. The food is cooked by Robert Clive. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国四个著名的美食节。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Meatopia部分的“ This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. (这个在伦敦举行的为期三天的节日在8月底或9月初举行，是肉类爱好者的天堂。)”和The National Honey Show部分的“ This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.(这个为期三天的活动吸引了许多当地的参与者，他们展示了他们的甜金蜂蜜，其中一些销往全球。)”可知，Meatopia和the National Honey Show共同之处在于，这两个美食节的时长都是三天。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Orange Sauce Festival部分的“There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.(来自全球30多个不同国家的数千名参与者带着他们当地的小吃在这里分享)”可知，因为有来自全球30多个国家的数千名参与者带着他们的当地小吃在这里分享，所以如果对外国食物感兴趣，可以去The Orange Sauce Festival。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Ginger and Spice Festival部分的“Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger.(与其他美食节不同，它庆祝小镇与罗伯特·克莱夫的历史联系，后者从印度带着生姜回来)”可知，因为和历史人物有关系，所以the Ginger and Spice 美食节很特别。故选C。 B In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus. The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man. Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.” Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’” Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue. The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.” 4. What was the accident at the bus stop? A. A teenager got caught under a bus. B. The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out. C. A young passenger fell from his seat. D. The driver found the bus uncontrollable. 5. What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene? A. He recorded the whole event. B. He stepped forward bravely. C He turned to medical staff. D. He called more volunteers in. 6. Which of the following best describes the medical professionals? A. Tolerant. B. Creative. C. Patient. D. Decisive. 7. What message does the text try to convey? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Kindness brings mental rewards. C. Many hands make light work. D. Opportunity is for the prepared. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在柏林路人和医护人员全力营救一名被困车底的十六岁少年的英勇事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus.(在柏林发生的一起惊心动魄的事件中，一名年轻男子险些被困在一辆公共汽车下面，生命垂危)”可知，公车站里一个少年被困在公共汽车下面。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.”(弗兰克·库尔兹是参与救援的勇敢志愿者之一，他回忆起当时混乱的场景，他说：“我看到那些人试图抬起公交车，我很清楚，我也必须帮忙抬起公交车，并试图把那个年轻人从下面拉出来。”)”可知，弗兰克·库尔兹在救援现场勇敢地上前帮忙。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’”(米歇尔，一个值班的护士，分享他们的反应，说，“我们在工作中,当我们听到尖叫声，和我们的同事朝窗外望去，看到发生了什么事，并说抓住医生的装备奔跑。”)”可推知，医护人员在救援时是果断的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man.(公交车司机反应迅速，立即停车，再加上大约40人的帮助，包括乘客和旁观者，取得了非凡的成就。他们共同努力，把公共汽车的右侧抬起，把那个年轻人救了出来)”可推知，文章想要传达的信息是“人多力量大”。故选C项。 C. Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation (辐射) from the sun, distant stars and galaxies (星系). Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation? In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists, including researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions with a “no” and a “yes.” That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak (高峰期), because, during this period, the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected (偏转) by the enhanced solar activity. A trip of that length would be imaginable. The average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so depending on the timing of launch and available fuel, it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years, according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co–author of the paper. “This study shows that while space radiation impose (强加) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is possible,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany. 8. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To list human’s achievements in space. B. To show a possible way to travel to Mars. C. To introduce scientists’ effort to travel to Mars. D. To present one of the difficulties of the trip to Mars. 9. What does the underlined word “shield” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Escape. B. Approach. C. Protect. D. Separate. 10. What is the longest duration (持续时间) of a round trip to Mars for the safety of humans? A. About 9 months. B. Less than 4 years. C. Less than two years. D. One year. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars? B. Humans Will Travel to Mars in the Near Future. C. The Timing of a Trip to Mars Is Planned. D. Particle Radiation Changes for the Solar Activity. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是前往火星的旅程中，人类将会受到太空中的粒子辐射的影响。科学家认为，恰当的启程时间和合理的旅行周期将能确保宇航员的安全。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation(辐射) from the sun, distant stars and galaxies (星系).(其中之一是来自太阳、遥远恒星和星系的粒子辐射带来的严重风险)”和第二段的“Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that difficulty(回答两个关键问题将对克服这一困难大有帮助)”可推知，第一段的作用是介绍人类前往火星需要克服的一个难题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“from the radiation(从辐射)”可知，此处作者提出疑问：前往火星的恰当时机能否保护宇航员和宇宙飞船免受辐射的伤害。由此可知，shield意为“保护；保卫”，与protect意思相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.(也就是说，人类应该能够安全地往返火星，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的屏蔽，往返时间不超过大约4年)”可知，人类安全地往返火星是可行的，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的保护，而且往返时间少于四年。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation?(回答两个关键问题将对克服这一困难大有帮助：粒子辐射是否会在往返火星的过程中对人类生命构成太严重的威胁？而且，前往火星的时间是否能够帮助宇航员和宇宙飞船免受辐射的伤害?)”和第三段的“That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.(也就是说，人类应该能够安全地往返火星，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的屏蔽，往返时间不超过大约4年)”可知，本文主要讲的是人类前往火星将会受到太空中的粒子辐射的影响。科学家认为合适的启程时间和合理的旅行周期将能确保宇航员的安全，故A项“Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars?(人类飞往火星会是安全的吗？)”可作本文标题，故选A项。 D Unless you’ve been faithfully bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, you probably grab the plastic bags waiting for customers at the checkout. You’re not alone. About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the U. S. each year. Unfortunately, single-use plastic bags have serious consequences once our trip to the store is over. Less than 10% of plastic bags used in the U. S. are recycled, leaving the rest to end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), and polluting soil, oceans and other natural habitats. To fight pollution and other environmental problems, major companies are taking steps to get rid of the use of plastic shopping bags. If you’re a frequent customer at Walmart, don’t be surprised if you notice the plastic bags disappearing over the next few months. Last summer, Walmart announced its goal to be a zero-waste company — meaning no more plastic bags. But Walmart has announced its Beyond the Bag, an initiative (倡议) working to explore reusable options and “reimagine” the plastic bag. Target and CVS are also on board as founding partners of Beyond the Bag, and so far, the three brands have invested $15 million to come up with a brand-new bag design. The initiative also started the Beyond the Bag challenge, giving innovators (创新者) a chance to share their ideas. The challenge ran throughout the summer of 2020, and nine winners from over 450 submissions were selected. From a station supplying reusable bag in-store to a new and improved paper bag, the winning designs cover a lot of bases. Each product now has the chance to be tested with funding from the initiative. While a final replacement for plastic bags at Walmart has yet to be decided, there’s a more sustainable future on the horizon. And if you want to start reducing your use of plastic bags right now, check out our list of reusable bags to bring on your next shopping trip. 12. What does the author mean by saying “You’re not alone” in the first paragraph? A. Reusable shopping bags are becoming more popular. B. Customers need to wait for long at the checkout. C. Some people are waiting in the line with you. D. Many people use plastic bags when shopping. 13. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Single-use plastic bags cause severe environmental problems. B. Supermarkets should stop providing single-use plastic bags. C. Single-use plastic bags should be more widely recycled. D. More landfills should be built to deal with plastic bags. 14. Why does Walmart want to start Beyond the Bag? A. To attract more customers. B. To provide more plastic bags. C. To set a good example to Target and CVS. D. To make shopping more environmentally friendly. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. People pay more attention to environmental protection. B. Walmart is getting rid of single-use plastic bags. C. Reusable paper bags are becoming more popular. D. Free plastic bags have become a thing of the past. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了为了对抗塑料购物袋带来的污染和其他环境问题，以沃尔玛为代表的大公司正在采取措施摆脱塑料购物袋的使用。沃尔玛公司提出了“超越袋子”计划，并在积极的实施中。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据该句的前文“Unless you’ve been faithfully bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, you probably grab the plastic bags waiting for customers at the checkout.(除非你一直忠实地把可重复使用的购物袋带到商店，否则你很可能会在结账时拿走等待顾客的塑料袋。)”可知，只有可重复使用购物袋的忠实者会在购物时使用自备的购物袋，商店的结账台还是有供顾客使用的塑料袋的。由此推知，如果你不是可重复使用购物袋的忠实者，那么你会和其他人一样使用塑料袋。因此，“You’re not alone”应是表达“你和其他人一样在购物时使用塑料袋，即，还是有很多人在购物时选择使用塑料袋”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读可知，“Unfortunately, single-use plastic bags have serious consequences once our trip to the store is over.(不幸的是，一旦我们去商店购物，一次性塑料袋就会产生严重的后果。)”为第二段的核心主旨句，因此可知，作者在第二段想要告诉读者的是一次性塑料袋产生的严重后果，尤其是对环境造成严重的后果。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“To fight pollution and other environmental problems, major companies are taking steps to get rid of the use of plastic shopping bags.(为了对抗污染和其他环境问题，大公司正在采取措施摆脱塑料购物袋的使用。)”，以及第四段内容“But Walmart has announced its Beyond the Bag, an initiative working to explore reusable options and ‘reimagine’ the plastic bag.(但沃尔玛已经宣布了其“超越袋子”计划，该计划致力于探索可重复使用的选择，并“重新构想”塑料袋。)”可知，为了对抗污染和其他环境问题，大公司在采取措施摆脱塑料购物袋的使用，沃尔玛是其中之一，因此沃尔玛提出了“超越袋子”计划。由此可知，沃尔玛提出“超越袋子”计划是为了使购物更加环保。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章内容可知，文章的第一二段是背景介绍，第三段内容“To fight pollution and other environmental problems, major companies are taking steps to get rid of the use of plastic shopping bags. If you’re a frequent customer at Walmart, don’t be surprised if you notice the plastic bags disappearing over the next few months.(为了对抗污染和其他环境问题，大公司正在采取措施摆脱塑料购物袋的使用。如果你是沃尔玛的常客，在接下来的几个月里，如果你发现塑料袋消失了，不要感到惊讶。)为文章的核心主旨，即，文章主要讲述了沃尔玛正在进行摆脱塑料袋的环保方式，并在后文以其提出“超越袋子”计划进行了详细介绍。选项B“Walmart is getting rid of single-use plastic bags.(沃尔玛正在淘汰一次性塑料袋。)”贴合文章主旨。故选B项。 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。 Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers many and long-term physical and mental benefits. ___16___ A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.____17____You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your innovation (创新)”. Our creative mindset is caused by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking. But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. ___18___ Walking outside develops our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels___19___ Research has shown that immersion (沉浸) in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task. So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors? ___20___ For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder. A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it. B. Engage more closely with your surroundings. C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key D. Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create. E. But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest. F. This habit, however, isn’t just improving your health but an element of creativity. G. You can also wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了步行作为最佳锻炼方式之一，不仅对身体和心理健康有益，还是创造力的一个元素。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers many and long-term physical and mental benefits. (散步被认为是最好的运动之一。对许多人来说，每天散步对身体和精神都有长期的好处。)”以及空后“A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.(斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，参与者在走路时比坐着时更有创造力。)”可知，上下文讲述的是散步的好处，空前讲述的是散步对身心健康有益，空后讲述的是散步的人更有创造力。选项F“This habit, however, isn’t just improving your health but an element of creativity.(然而，这个习惯不仅能改善你的健康，而且是创造力的一部分。)”承上启下，与上下文内容一致。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.(斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，参与者在走路时比坐着时更有创造力。)”可知，上文提到步行和创造力之间的关系。选项C“The movement aspect of walking is obviously key(步行的运动方面显然是关键)” 与上文的“walking as opposed to sitting”相呼应，并强调了运动（特别是步行）在激发创造力方面的重要性。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文内容“But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood.(但风景几乎和汗水一样重要。只要走出去，你就走出了你习惯的环境和你的舒适区，如果你想打开你的思想，接受新的可能性，这是必要的。你可以穿过绿树成荫的社区。)”可知，上文提及当我们散步时可以做些什么。选项G“You can also wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing.(你也可以在公园里闲逛，观察人们放松或鸟儿唱歌。)”与上文内容相符，指的是散步时我们可以在公园里闲逛，观察人们放松或鸟儿唱歌。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据空前内容“Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels(Shinrin-yoku是日本一种常见的放松方式，它表明，在森林里，在树中间散步可以降低你的压力水平。)”可知，在森林中散步可以缓解压力。选项E“But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest.(但是要得到这些好处，你不一定要住在森林里。)”承接上文内容，同时引出下文“Research has shown that immersion (沉浸) in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.(研究表明，沉浸在你周围的大自然中，或者脱离多媒体，可以提高你在创造性问题解决任务中的表现。)”，指出，只需要沉浸在周围大自然之中我们就可以得到散步的好处。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据空后内容“For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.(例如，你可以关掉手机，给自己一个机会活在这个世界上，听对话和自然的声音，注意人们移动的方式和太阳在湖中反射的方式。)”可知，下文所举例子建议人们走进大自然。选项B“Engage more closely with your surroundings.(更密切地与周围环境接触。)”与下文内容一致，都是与周围环境多接触。故选B。 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。 I was raised in a village where people lived in harmony with the natural environment.

Money was always tight, but we had a roof overheads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought was serious. I have always been glad about it. It was Christmastime, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping. They planned weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately. I had saved $120 for presents to share by all five of us. The big day arrived. I gave each kid a twenty dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the gate, On the way home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter Ginger who was unusually quiet. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies—fifty-cent candies. I was so angry, but I controlled myself and didn’t say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be angry again. This was what she told me: “I was looking around thinking of what to buy, and l stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’. One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. We have so much but she doesn’t have anything.” I felt so proud of my younger daughter. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I gathered the other kids and shared with them what Ginger had done. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We walked excitedly to the nearby children’s hospital. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I gathered the other kids and shared with them what Ginger had done. Then followed my question, “What do you think of the thing that Ginger did?” In a flash, praise and enthusiasm of helping more people in need filled the whole room. One of them advised giving away all their presents to the kids like the little girl who was helped by Ginger. But I didn’t think it was enough. Maybe there were more meaningful things to do. I tried asking, “Why not spend Christmas with the kids at the nearby children’s hospital?” “Good idea!” they cheered. We walked excitedly to the nearby children’s hospital. About fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the destination. Having known our aim to visit, the hospital gave us a warm welcome. Within several minutes, all of us became integrated with each other. We sang songs, played games, shared our presents and enjoyed the fantastic Christmas. I never felt so rich as I did that day and I realized this was the true meaning of being rich: make others a day with what we have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了尽管作者的工作收入很低，生活拮据，但她努力为孩子们提供一个温暖和充满爱的家。在圣诞节前，妈妈存了120美元给五个家庭成员买礼物，并计划了一个家庭聚会来庆祝。每个孩子都得到了20美元去购物，但小女儿Ginger并没有像其他孩子那样为自己买礼物，而是买了一个洋娃娃，作为礼物送给了另一个女孩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我把其他孩子叫到一起，跟他们分享了金格做的事。”可知，第一段可描写作者将Ginger的行为分享给了其他孩子，并引发了他们的共鸣和讨论。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们兴奋地走向附近的儿童医院。”可知，第二段可描写作者和其他孩子一起兴奋地前往附近的儿童医院，并与那里的孩子们一起度过了一个充满欢乐和温馨的圣诞节的经历。 2.续写线索：作者问孩子们的看法——孩子提建议——作者建议——到达医院——一起享受圣诞节——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：advise/recommend ②到达：arrive at/get to ③享受：enjoy/relish 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/passion ②欢呼：cheer/hail 【点睛】[高分句型1] One of them advised giving away all their presents to the kids like the little girl who was helped by Ginger.

Whatever your taste, there’s a food festival to match it — no matter how special. The Meatopia This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August or in early September and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops. The National Honey Show If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1923, is the place for you. This three-day event attracts many local participants who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally. The Orange Sauce Festival Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for many years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here. The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival If you’d prefer something with a little more kick, then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive,who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, people here specialize in baking gingerbread, and sell a range of traditional spices from mild ones to hot ones. 1. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They hold workshops. C. They originated from London. D. They last three days. 2. If you are interested in foreign food, which festival do you like best? A. The Meatopia.

The ginger used in the festival is from India. C. It has something to do with a historic figure. D. The food is cooked by Robert Clive. B In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus. The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man. Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.” Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’” Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue. The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.” 4. What was the accident at the bus stop? A. A teenager got caught under a bus. B. The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out. C. A young passenger fell from his seat. D. The driver found the bus uncontrollable. 5. What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene? A. He recorded the whole event. B. He stepped forward bravely. C. He turned to medical staff. D. He called more volunteers in. 6. Which of the following best describes the medical professionals? A. Tolerant. B. Creative. C. Patient. D. Decisive. 7. What message does the text try to convey? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Kindness brings mental rewards. C. Many hands make light work. D. Opportunity is for the prepared. C. Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation (辐射) from the sun, distant stars and galaxies (星系). Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation? In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists, including researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions with a “no” and a “yes.” That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak (高峰期), because, during this period, the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected (偏转) by the enhanced solar activity. A trip of that length would be imaginable. The average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so depending on the timing of launch and available fuel, it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years, according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co–author of the paper. “This study shows that while space radiation impose (强加) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is possible,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany. 8. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To list human’s achievements in space. B. To show a possible way to travel to Mars. C. To introduce scientists’ effort to travel to Mars. D. To present one of the difficulties of the trip to Mars. 9. What does the underlined word “shield” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Escape. B. Approach. C. Protect. D. Separate. 10 What is the longest duration (持续时间) of a round trip to Mars for the safety of humans? A. About 9 months. B. Less than 4 years. C. Less than two years. D. One year. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars? B. Humans Will Travel to Mars in the Near Future. C. The Timing of a Trip to Mars Is Planned. D. Particle Radiation Changes for the Solar Activity. D Unless you’ve been faithfully bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, you probably grab the plastic bags waiting for customers at the checkout. You’re not alone. About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the U. S. each year. Unfortunately, single-use plastic bags have serious consequences once our trip to the store is over. Less than 10% of plastic bags used in the U. S. are recycled, leaving the rest to end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), and polluting soil, oceans and other natural habitats. To fight pollution and other environmental problems, major companies are taking steps to get rid of the use of plastic shopping bags. If you’re a frequent customer at Walmart, don’t be surprised if you notice the plastic bags disappearing over the next few months. Last summer, Walmart announced its goal to be a zero-waste company — meaning no more plastic bags. But Walmart has announced its Beyond the Bag an initiative (倡议) working to explore reusable options and “reimagine” the plastic bag. Target and CVS are also on board as founding partners of Beyond the Bag, and so far, the three brands have invested $15 million to come up with a brand-new bag design. The initiative also started the Beyond the Bag challenge, giving innovators (创新者) a chance to share their ideas. The challenge ran throughout the summer of 2020, and nine winners from over 450 submissions were selected. From a station supplying reusable bag in-store to a new and improved paper bag, the winning designs cover a lot of bases. Each product now has the chance to be tested with funding from the initiative. While a final replacement for plastic bags at Walmart has yet to be decided, there’s a more sustainable future on the horizon. And if you want to start reducing your use of plastic bags right now, check out our list of reusable bags to bring on your next shopping trip. 12. What does the author mean by saying “You’re not alone” in the first paragraph? A. Reusable shopping bags are becoming more popular. B. Customers need to wait for long at the checkout. C. Some people are waiting in the line with you. D. Many people use plastic bags when shopping. 13. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Single-use plastic bags cause severe environmental problems. B. Supermarkets should stop providing single-use plastic bags. C. Single-use plastic bags should be more widely recycled. D. More landfills should be built to deal with plastic bags. 14. Why does Walmart want to start Beyond the Bag? A. To attract more customers. B. To provide more plastic bags. C.
