A
Europe is the second smallest continent in size but the third largest in population. Here are some facts to share.
People
About 10% of the world’s population lives in Europe. Most of the European population groups, almost 90%, belong to the three Indo-European language groups of the Slavic, Romance and Germanic language groups. According to the World Happiness Report from 2018 to 2020, the World’s happiest people live in Finland—and they won for the last three years in a row!
Languages
Most European languages belong to either the Romance language family such as French, Italian and Spanish, the Germanic language family, among which are German and English, or the Slavic language family, among which are Russian, Bulgarian and Polish. Russian is the language with most native speakers—about 100 million, while English is the language spoken by most people as a first language and a second language—about 270 million people. The five most spoken native languages in Europe are Russian, German, French, English and Italian.
Animals
In Europe, there are 270 species of mammals (哺乳动物) such as bats, deer and hares. Of all mammal species 15% are endangered, such as wolves and bears. There are 75 species of amphibians(两栖动物)in
Europe, most of which are unique to Southern Europe. Slightly more than half of the 800 European bird species breed in Europe, and all the others migrate to warmer regions during the cold winter months.
Natural resources
Metals such as zinc and silver and minerals such as copper and coal are found in Europe. Some areas in northern Europe have deposits of natural gas and oil.
Agriculture
The most common crops in Europe are cereals(谷类植物) such as wheat, corn as well as sugar beets, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. France is Europe’s biggest producer of agricultural products.
1. What can we infer about the European population from the text?
A. The population in Europe has decreased slightly.
B. Europe is thickly populated at the present time.
C. People in Europe belong to three language families.
D. People living in Europe are the happiest in the world.
2. What do we know about the languages in Europe?
A. English belongs to the Romance language family.
B. English is the language with most native speakers.
C. The number of native Polish speakers is not very big.
D. French belongs to the Slavic language family.
3. Which of the following about Europe is right?
A. Europe doesn’t produce natural gas or oil.
B. Most animal species in Europe are endangered.
C. France produces the most agricultural products in Europe.
D. Over 400 European bird species fly to warmer areas in winter.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章从人口、语言、动物、自然资源和农业等方面介绍了欧洲的基本情况。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Europe is the second smallest continent in size but the third largest in population.(欧洲是面积第二小的大陆,但人口第三大。)”以及People中的“About 10% of the world’s population lives in Europe.(世界上大约10%的人口生活在欧洲。)”可知,欧洲是面积第二小的大陆,但人口却是第三大,全世界大约10%的人口生活在欧洲。由此可推知,欧洲的人口密度很大。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Languages中的“Most European languages belong to either the Romance language family such as French, Italian and Spanish, the Germanic language family, among which are German and English, or the Slavic language family, among which are Russian, Bulgarian and Polish. Russian is the language with most native speakers—about 100 million, while English is the language spoken by most people as a first language and a second language—about 270 million people. The five most spoken native languages in Europe are Russian, German, French, English and Italian. (大多数欧洲语言要么属于罗曼语系,如法语、意大利语和西班牙语,要么属于日耳曼语系,其中包括德语和英语,要么属于斯拉夫语系,其中包括俄语、保加利亚语和波兰语。俄语是母语使用者最多的语言——大约有1亿人,而英语是大多数人作为第一语言和第二语言使用的语言——大约有2.7亿人。欧洲最常用的五种母语是俄语、德语、法语、英语和意大利语。)”可知,法语属于罗曼语系,英语属于日耳曼语系,俄语是母语使用者最多的语言,故A、B、D项均错,波兰语不属于欧洲最常用的母语,由此可推知,以波兰语为母语的使用者人数不多。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Natural resources中的“Some areas in northern Europe have deposits of natural gas and oil.(北欧的一些地区蕴藏着天然气和石油。)”可知,北欧的一些地区蕴藏有天然气和石油,A项错误;根据文章Animals中的“In Europe, there are 270 species of mammals (哺乳动物) such as bats, deer and hares. Of all mammal species 15% are endangered(在欧洲,有270种哺乳动物,如蝙蝠、鹿和野兔。所有哺乳动物中有15%濒临灭绝)”和“Slightly more than half of the 800 European bird species breed in Europe, and all the others migrate to warmer regions during the cold winter months.(在欧洲800种鸟类中,略多于一半的鸟类在欧洲繁殖,所有其他鸟类在寒冷的冬季迁徙到温暖的地区。)”可知,哺乳动物中有15%濒临灭绝,并非大多数;欧洲800种鸟类中,略多于一半的鸟类在欧洲繁殖,剩下其他鸟类会在冬天迁徙到温暖地区,也就是说不到一半的鸟类会迁徙,B项、D项错误;根据文章Agriculture中的“France is Europe’s biggest producer of agricultural products.(法国是欧洲最大的农产品生产国。)”可知,法国是欧洲最大的农产品生产国,故选C项。
B
As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text?
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah Toumi的成长经历及其为对抗沙漠化、保护突尼斯农田所做出的努力,包括成立Acacias for All项目,种植树木以维护生态平衡,同时也提及了她的个人愿景和项目的发展影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. (作为一个在法国长大的年轻女孩,Sarah Toumi梦想成为一名能够让世界变得更美好的领导者。从九岁起,她就在假期陪伴Tunisian父亲前往他在该国东部的出生地,这唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。在那里,她为孩子们组织了家庭作业俱乐部和活动。)”可知,Toumi在Tunisian的假期旅行激发了她帮助他人的热情。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知,导致突尼斯农田沙漠化的主因是降水量减少。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” (2012年,Toumi继续她与沙漠作战的梦想。她搬到了突尼斯,建立了一个名为“Acacias for All”的项目,将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。“我想向农村地区的年轻人展示,他们可以在自己所在的地方创造机会。没有人比那些生活在没有水的地方的人更能理解荒漠化和气候变化的影响。”)”和第五段中“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (Toumi估计需要大约300万棵金合欢树来保护Tunisia的农田。)”可知,Toumi建立Acacias for All的目的是为了推广保护他们农田的行动。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (图米亲眼目睹了沙漠化的破坏性影响。“在10年内,富裕的农民变得更穷,再过10年,他们将变穷。我想阻止撒哈拉沙漠的发展。”平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Sarah Toumi为阻止沙漠化进程所做的努力,包括改变农业实践、种植金合欢树等,旨在保护突尼斯的农田免受沙漠化威胁。因此,“Holding back the Sahara (阻挡Sahara)”最能概括文章主题。故选C。
C
Video conferencing has been around for more than 20 years. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, though, you would find that many people needing to attend a meeting remotely would be calling from a real conference room full of their teammates. Today, we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual. And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.
The problem is us, specifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation. So much of our well-being and work productivity is decided on how close we are physically. The removal of that for any period of time can be severely damaging. One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.
Normally people laugh about 18 times per day. And 97% of that time we’re laughing with others — we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to laugh alone. Think about it: how often when you and your friends laugh at something that is actually funny? Research shows that 80% of what people laugh at is really not that funny.
So why do people laugh? They laugh in order to laugh with others. Just as everyone starts yawning when just one person yawns, most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do. This is why TV comedy shows often use prerecorded laugh tracks.
Laughing in response to other people’s laughing is not just a behavioral phenomenon. When we laugh, our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure, and dopamine which can improve learning, motivation and attention. In fact, studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand. Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.
In today’s home-alone, virtual-team world, this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive, you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.
8. What is the problem mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. A distant relationship. B. Unexpected social evolution.
C. Decreased laughter. D. Removed social distance.
9. What can be inferred from the article?
A. Laughing alone is normal. B. Laughing is for fun.
C Laughing starts with yawning. D. Laughing comes more in groups.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The motivation behind laughter. B. The chemicals regarding laughter.
C. The mechanism of laughter. D. The significance of laughter.
11. What would the author most probably discuss next?
A. How to boost laughter. B. How to better a team.
C. How to reduce stress. D. How to increase productivity.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了笑的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Today, we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual .And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.(今天,我们经常举行100%虚拟的视频会议。这就产生了一个技术无法解决的问题)”和第二段的“The problem is us, specifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation.(问题出在我们自己身上,尤其是我们的社交能力还没有进化到可以承受分离的程度)”和“One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.(社交距离的一个令人惊讶的受害者是笑声)”可知,前两段提到的问题是笑声减少了。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Just as everyone starts yawning when just one person yawns, most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do.(就像当只有一个人打哈欠时,每个人都会打哈欠一样,当周围的人笑时,大多数人都会忍不住笑)”可推断,成群的人笑得更多。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段的“When we laugh, our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure, and dopamine which can improve learning, motivation and attention. In fact, studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand. Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.(当我们笑的时候,我们的身体会产生两种关键的化学物质:内啡肽,它可以帮助缓解疼痛并引发愉悦感,还有多巴胺,它可以提高学习能力、动力和注意力。事实上,研究表明,仅仅提前几分钟笑一下,人们就能多忍受15%)”可知,本段主要介绍是笑声的重要性。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In today’s home-alone, virtual-team world, this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive, you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.(在今天这个独自在家、虚拟团队的世界里,这正是你作为一个团队领导者应该做的:为了让你的团队成员保持健康和高效,你需要让他们多笑,少压力)”可推断,作者接下来最有可能讨论如何增加笑。故选A。
D
Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”? It’s like the promise of a sweet holiday following what seems like long-time exhaustion. It’s the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day — until by Friday, we’re practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you’re getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd that there’s even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it’s because the counter is reset and the weekend, or happiness, seems at furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don’t much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don’t leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
12. What do we know about the weekend in Paragraph 2?
A. It is hard-earned.
B. It doesn’t bring joy as expected.
C. It adds to people’s anxiety and stress.
D. It provides good time to relax.
13. Why does the writer mention monster.com in the text?
A. To clarify a question. B. To show its popularity.
C. To provides an illustration. D. To support his idea.
14. What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A. Tolerant. B. Conservative. C. Unwise. D. Practical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
B. Why Monday Takes a Bite out of Sunday
C. Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D. Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了很多人会因为即将到来的周一而充满焦虑,无法好好享受周末,而且这种现象在人群中非常普遍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.(这时,焦虑悄然袭来,另一个倒计时开始了:离周一还有12个小时。当然,周末是自由时间。但是,即将到来的周一带来的压力会让你从周日晚上获得的快乐荡然无余。)”可知,周末并不像预想的那样充满快乐,周天总是笼罩在周一即将到来的焦虑中,会感到充满压力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.(就连monster.com——一个专门将人与周一到周五的周期绑定起来的网站——也承认这是个问题。Monster在一项调查中发现,76%的美国人“真的有”周日夜忧郁。)”可知,虽然Monster是一个绑定人与周一到周五周期的网站,但是也承认周日恐惧症的存在。由此推知,作者提到这个网站是为了佐证前文提到的观点:周日恐惧症普遍存在。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.(对大多数人来说,星期天根本不是假日。这可能都归结为同一个问题:我们无法停止对明天的思考。更糟糕的是,为了从周末过渡到周一,我们可能会制定一些完全不健康的应对策略。有些人可能会抵制——熬夜,以让大脑麻木的分心形式榨取转瞬即逝的周日的每一分钟。)”可知,大多数人在过周末的时候,充满对周一的焦虑,有的甚至会有不健康的应对方式。由此可知,作者认为这种度过周末的方式并不明智。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了很多人无法好好享受周末这一问题背后的原因,因为他们会因为即将到来的周一而充满焦虑。因此B项“为什么周一会蚕食周日”符合文章大意,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Canyou remember a time when you woke up from a fantastic or strange dream?Maybe you were afraid and turned on the light or the dream was so good you wanted to sleep longer. But do you think your dreams are telling you something?
___16___Today,too,many people can remember a time when they saw a place or person in their dream and then,later, the dream happened in real life.Most people have four to six dreams every night after the age of ten. ___17___So,an-80-year-old·person has probably had-140,000 dreams. Maybe we forget 95-99 percent of.our dreams, but that's still thousands of dreams.that might "come true".
Around the 18th and 19th centuries, there were two popular ideas about dreams. One said that the things we see in our dreams are things we keep in our subconscious(潜意识)because we don't want or need to think about them when we're awake, ___18___ Dreams are just random thoughts from our day but we try to make a story from them when we wake up. Perhaps both ideas are a little bit right. Maybe dreams are made from the thoughts we have during the day, but we see them as symbols.___19___
When we're awake, we think in words most of the time. But when we're sleeping, the part of our brain that helps us with language sleeps, and the part that makes us happy or sad or angry is awake and busy. ___20___ If you can understand these symbols, you have a window into your subconscious.
A. That's as many as.2,000 dreams per year
B. Maybe that's not surprising because we dream a lot.
C. Also, how you were feeling in the dream is important.
D. For centuries, people thought dreams were messages from gods or spirits.
E. For example, a dream of flying might be a symbol for an exciting new job.
F. The opposite idea said the brain organizes thoughts from the day while we’re sleeping.
G. So, maybe our thoughts come to us in dreams as feelings and symbols instead of words
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了人们对梦的不同解读和看法。
【16题详解】
上文“But do you think your dreams are telling you something?(但是你认为你的梦告诉了你什么吗?)”是一个问句,可以推断出空格处是对此问题的解答,结合选项可知选项D. For centuries, people thought dreams were messages from gods or spirits.( 几个世纪以来,人们认为梦是来自神或灵魂的信息。) 是对上文问题的回答,同时句中的“for centuries”与下文的“Today,too”自然承接。故答案为D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Most people have four to six dreams every night after the age of ten.大多数人在十岁以后每晚会做四到六个梦。”及下文“So,an-80-year-old•person has probably had-140,000 dreams. 所以,80岁的人大概做过14万次梦。”可知空格处所填内容与计算梦的数量有关系,选项A .That's as many as.2,000 dreams per year(每年的梦可以多达2000个)与上述分析一致且衔接上下文自然。故答案为A。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Around the 18th and 19th centuries, there were two popular ideas about dreams. One said……”第三段主要介绍18~19世纪关于梦的两个比较流行的观点,第三段第二句是介绍第一种观点,由此可推断出空格处介绍另外一种观点,选项F. The opposite idea said the brain organizes thoughts from the day while we’re sleeping.( 相反的观点认为,大脑在我们睡觉时组织白天的想法。) 介绍了第二种不同的观点,且下文进一步解释说明。故答案为F。
19题详解】
根据上文“Maybe dreams are made from the thoughts we have during the day, but we see them as symbols.(也许梦是由我们白天的想法构成的,但我们把它们看作是一种象征。)”可知梦或许来自于白天醒着时候的一些想法,但是我们把这些梦当作象征,选项E. For example, a dream of flying might be a symbol for an exciting new job.( 例如,梦想飞行可能是一份令人兴奋的新工作的象征。) 是对此观点的一个具体举例说明,故答案为E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“When we're awake, we think in words most of the time. But when we're sleeping, the part of our brain that helps us with language sleeps, and the part that makes us happy or sad or angry is awake and busy.(当我们醒着的时候,我们大部分时间都在用文字思考。但是当我们睡觉的时候,我们大脑中帮助我们语言的部分睡着了,而让我们开心、悲伤或生气的部分却清醒而忙碌。)”可知人们醒着的时候用话语形式思考,但睡着的时候语言系统也在休息,而情绪系统很活跃,所以在梦中人们的想法是通过情绪和象征符号来展现,而非语言形式, G项中的“feelings”与上文的“the part that makes us happy or sad or angry is awake and busy”对应,“symbols”与下文的“understand these symbols”相呼应。故答案为G。
第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分35分)

第二节(满分20分)
57. 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。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane (精神失常的) and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated (孤立的) from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening, but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn’t sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors’ claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It’s the record of the music you were singing yesterday.”
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。
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there. I held out the record, “I thought you might enjoy this.” Mrs Davis slowly took it from my hands, staring at it. For a moment, she seemed lost in memories. “Thank you,” she whispered. Then I was invited into her house, feeling a sense of connection blossoming between us. “I used to listen to this song with my husband and daughter. It was their favorite,” she shared stories of her love for music, and the pain of her loss. When I left her house, I offered to hug her, and Mrs Davis’ eyes shone with newfound hope.
Several days later in the morning, the doorbell rang at my house. Surprising and delightful, it was Mrs Davis! She stood at our doorstep, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies, her eyes sparkling with warmth, “I wanted to thank you for bringing light to my life.” I replied excitedly, “I’m just more than glad to see you.” Gradually, Mrs Davis no longer cut herself from the world and she became a regular visitor to my house, also finding her way back to the community that cared for her. Sometimes, I realized that all it took was a small act of kindness to break down the barriers of loneliness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,主要讲述了作者和家人搬到新社区后,尽管邻居们都很友好,但大家因误解而避开一位上了年纪的名叫Davis的女士,认为她因失去亲人而精神失常,选择孤立自己。作者最初也受此影响犹豫不决,但在偶然听到Davis女士唱起自己熟悉的歌曲后,决定不理会邻里间的传言,主动尝试接触和帮助她,通过送唱片作为交流的契机,作者去拜访了Davis女士。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句“门开了,戴维斯夫人看到我站在那里,惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。”可知,本段可描写作者说明来意后,被邀请到了戴维斯女士家里,他们聊了关于音乐的话题并逐渐熟悉了起来。
②由第二段首句“几天后的早晨,我家的门铃响了。”可知,本段可描写戴维斯女士为了感谢作者的拜访送来了自己烤的饼干。从那之后,戴维斯女士不再与世隔绝,成为了作者家的常客。
2.续写线索:去送唱片——受到邀请——交流音乐——拥抱——送来饼干——成为常客——感悟

Europe is the second smallest continent in size but the third largest in population. Here are some facts to share.
People
About 10% of the world’s population lives in Europe. Most of the European population groups, almost 90%, belong to the three Indo-European language groups of the Slavic, Romance and Germanic language groups. According to the World Happiness Report from 2018 to 2020, the World’s happiest people live in Finland—and they won for the last three years in a row!
Languages
Most European languages belong to either the Romance language family such as French, Italian and Spanish, the Germanic language family, among which are German and English, or the Slavic language family, among which are Russian, Bulgarian and Polish. Russian is the language with most native speakers—about 100 million, while English is the language spoken by most people as a first language and a second language—about 270 million people. The five most spoken native languages in Europe are Russian, German, French, English and Italian.
Animals
In Europe, there are 270 species of mammals (哺乳动物) such as bats, deer and hares. Of all mammal species 15% are endangered, such as wolves and bears. There are 75 species of amphibians(两栖动物)in

As a young girl growing up in France Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text?
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia

Video conferencing has been around for more than 20 years. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, though, you would find that many people needing to attend a meeting remotely would be calling from a real conference room full of their teammates. Today, we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual. And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.
The problem is us, specifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation. So much of our well-being and work productivity is decided on how close we are physically. The removal of that for any period of time can be severely damaging. One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.
Normally people laugh about 18 times per day. And 97% of that time we’re laughing with others — we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to laugh alone. Think about it: how often when you and your friends laugh at something that is actually funny? Research shows that 80% of what people laugh at is really not that funny.
So why do people laugh? They laugh in order to laugh with others. Just as everyone starts yawning when just one person yawns, most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do. This is why TV comedy shows often use prerecorded laugh tracks.
Laughing in response to other people’s laughing is not just a behavioral phenomenon. When we laugh, our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure, and dopamine which can improve learning, motivation and attention. In fact, studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand. Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.
In today’s home-alone, virtual-team world, this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive, you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.
8. What is the problem mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. A distant relationship. B. Unexpected social evolution.
C. Decreased laughter. D. Removed social distance.
9. What can be inferred from the article?
A. Laughing alone is normal. B. Laughing is for fun.
C. Laughing starts with yawning. D. Laughing comes more in groups.
10. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The motivation behind laughter. B. The chemicals regarding laughter.
C. The mechanism of laughter. D. The significance of laughter.
11. What would the author most probably discuss next?
A. How to boost laughter. B. How to better a team.
C. How to reduce stress. D. How to increase productivity.
D
Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”? It’s like the promise of a sweet holiday following what seems like long-time exhaustion. It’s the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day — until by Friday, we’re practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you’re getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That’s when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, the weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can ease any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd that there’s even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even monster.com — a website that specializes in binding humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle — admits it’s a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really had” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can’t stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resists — staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it’s because the counter is reset and the weekend, or happiness, seems at furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don’t much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don’t leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
12. What do we know about the weekend in Paragraph 2?
A. It is hard-earned.
B. It doesn’t bring joy as expected.
C. It adds to people’s anxiety and stress.
D. It provides good time to relax.
13. Why does the writer mention monster.com in the text?
A. To clarify a question. B. To show its popularity.
C. To provides an illustration. D. To support his idea.
14. What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A. Tolerant. B. Conservative. C. Unwise. D. Practical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
B. Why Monday Takes a Bite out of Sunday
C. Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D. Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives

57. 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。
My family had only recently moved into a new neighborhood. All of my neighbors have been very friendly and helpful since we moved in.
However, Mrs Davis, an elderly lady living in the last house on the other side of the road, escaped associating with us, or anyone else. When I asked around the neighborhood why, they warned me not to go after her because they thought she was insane (精神失常的) and preferred staying alone after losing her husband and only daughter in an aircraft crash. After that, she stayed isolated (孤立的) from all the neighbors, refusing all the care and help.
I often saw her on the streets during the evening, but she was always by herself. She appeared weak and I always wanted to help her, but after hearing what my neighbors had said about her, I wasn’t sure whether I should.
One day, when I was on my way to the supermarket, our paths crossed. I was walking past her and overheard her singing a tune. It immediately drew my attention because my parents used to sing the same song with me. I began to sing along with her, and she smiled at me for the first time. But when I smiled back, she quickly hurried her pace and went home.
She seemed very different to me that day. I refused to trust my neighbors’ claims that she had cut herself off from the rest of society because she was insane, so the next day, I knocked on her door. Mrs Davis was home, and instead of letting me in, she just looked at me silently through the window. I noticed her staring at me and was about to walk to the window when she quickly closed the curtains.
The next day, I revisited her house. “Hello, I brought you something,” I called out to her. “It’s the record of the music you were singing yesterday.”
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。
The door opened and Mrs Davis’ eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me standing there.
