One day, a mime (哑巴) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla, so the mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — he feels the job funny.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Wanting to win back his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition (隔墙), and dangles (摇晃地悬挂着) from the top to the lion’s cage first. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction — well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is hanging over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”

“My P.E. teacher taught me maths.” It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the head-teacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English? If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parents who believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.
This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.
Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students, P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.
At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.
In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.
In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.
We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.
8. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths”, what does the author intend to show us?
A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.
B. P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.
C. P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths..
D. Parents doubt the ability of P.E. teacher.
9. We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E. teacher .
A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance
B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers
C. reflects whether the school cares about the class
D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system
10. Why does Guangzhou raise proportion of P.E. performance in high school entrance examination?
A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.
B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.
C. To test the overall ability of high school students.
D. To make P.E. teachers equal with other teachers.
11. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers?
A. Neutral. B. Unexpected.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
D
Video calls are common, but have you imagined being able to stretch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch.
Haptic technology imitates (模仿) the experience of touch by stimulating (刺激) localized areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world through force, vibration (震动) or motion.
The new technology overcomes problems with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a new method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.
“Our three-way directional skin stretch device, built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.
It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And their glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.
The haptic devices could be applied in various situations, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues (器官组织) with operation tools without touching them.
12. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. The Use of A New Product B. A New Invention — Soft Skin Stretch Device
C. Different Haptic Devices D. The Development of Haptic Technology
13. Where is the text probably from?
A. A travel brochure. B. A health magazine.
C A science and technology journal. D. A doctor’s diary.
14. What is the paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The advantages of the new haptic glove.
B. The applications of the new haptic technology.
C. An explanation of how the haptic device works.
D. A personal experience of using SSDs during a video call.
15. How could the new haptic device benefit people?
A. It could replace video calls as a way to communicate.
B. It could be used for recreating organ tissues.
C. Doctors could perform operations from a distance.
D. Users could feel remote objects in a realistic way.

One day, a mime (哑巴) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla, so the mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — he feels the job funny.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Wanting to win back his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition (隔墙), and dangles (摇晃地悬挂着) from the top to the lion’s cage first. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction — well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is hanging over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”

“My P.E. teacher taught me maths.” It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the head-teacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English? If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parents who believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.
This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.
Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students, P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.
At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.
In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.
In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.
We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.
8. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths”, what does the author intend to show us?
A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.
B. P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.
C. P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths..
D. Parents doubt the ability of P.E. teacher.
9. We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E. teacher .
A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance
B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers
C. reflects whether the school cares about the class
D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system
10. Why does Guangzhou raise proportion of P.E. performance in high school entrance examination?
A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.
B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.
C. To test the overall ability of high school students.
D. To make P.E. teachers equal with other teachers.
11. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers?
A. Neutral. B. Unexpected.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了人们对于体育老师当班主任的不同见解。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。结合文章第一段“Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English? If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” (有些家长问:“体育老师懂数学和英语吗?如果没有,又怎么教学生呢? ”)”可推知,本句话表明父母怀疑体育老师能力不足,因此,通过说“我的体育老师教我数学”,作者想告诉我们D 项“Parents doubt the ability of P.E. teacher(家长怀疑体育老师的能力)”符合题意。故选D 项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。结合文章第二段“This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English…Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject(这种担心实际上是一种“学科偏见”,即选择体育教师作为班主任对学生的成绩不利,因为他不懂语文、数学或英语……这种担忧反映了当前教育环境下家长的焦虑,这种焦虑往往把班主任的责任主体与学校是否关心班级、孩子在学科上的表现等事实联系起来。)”可知,在现行的教育体制下,体育老师的作用被广大家长大大低估了,对于体育老师的作用并没有很好的认知。因此,我们可以从第二段中推断出一个体育老师D项“gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system(受到当前的教育体制受到不公正的评判)”符合题意。故选D 项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。结合文章倒数二三段“In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future(在高中入学考试方面,广州将于2021年推出新的高中入学考试,其中包括体育成绩和健康考试,将分数提高到70分。在高考方面,拥有自主招生权的高校在2019年的高考中增加了体育考试。这一做法被视为一个重要信号,即作为学生综合素质重要方面的身体素质和运动能力评估,今后可能会纳入高考)”可以看出,无论是广东省决定在中考中加入体育成绩的考核,还是有自主招生资质的大学注重考查学生的体育能力,都在逐渐提升全民对于身体健康的关注和认知。因此,广州在中考中提高体育成绩的比例的原因是A项“To raise students’ awareness of physical health(提高学生的身体健康意识)”符合题意。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合最后一段“We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers(我们希望体育教师、音乐教师、美术教师成为班主任是一种趋势)”可知,作者是十分支持体育老师担当班主任一职的。因此,作者对体育教师担任班主任的看法是C项“Supportive(支持)” 符合题意。故选C项。
D
Video calls are common, but have you imagined being able to stretch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch.
Haptic technology imitates (模仿) the experience of touch by stimulating (刺激) localized areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world through force, vibration (震动) or motion.
The new technology overcomes problems with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a new method to recreate the sense of touch through soft artificial “muscles”.
“Our three-way directional skin stretch device, built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin,” said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.
It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And their glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.
The haptic devices could be applied in various situations, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues (器官组织) with operation tools without touching them.
12. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. The Use of A New Product B. A New Invention — Soft Skin Stretch Device
C. Different Haptic Devices D. The Development of Haptic Technology
13. Where is the text probably from?
A. A travel brochure. B. A health magazine.
C. A science and technology journal. D. A doctor’s diary.
14. What is the paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The advantages of the new haptic glove.
B The applications of the new haptic technology.
C. An explanation of how the haptic device works.
D. A personal experience of using SSDs during a video call.
15. How could the new haptic device benefit people?
A. It could replace video calls as a way to communicate.
B. It could be used for recreating organ tissues.
C. Doctors could perform operations from a distance.
D. Users could feel remote objects in a realistic way.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】

Yesterday, I spend an unforgettable afternoon with my little friend Tom, which was the child of my neighbors next door. When I reached home after school, I found Tom sit on the stair. Because I knew he had lost his key, so I invited him to my home. He started to do his homework. Meanwhile, I called his mother and told her that had happened. Soon Tom finished all her homework. Since it was still early, I decided play Chinese chess with him so that he wouldn’t feel boring. Tom was very careful and he thought very hardly before making any move. Later, Tom’s mother arrived and thanked me for taking care of her son. Tom said he had a enjoyable afternoon. In fact, I also felt very happy.
【答案】1. spend → spent
2. which → who
3. sit → sitting
4. so去掉
5. that → what
6. her → his
7. decided后加to
8. boring → bored

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,描述了作者与邻居小孩Tom共度了一个难忘的下午。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意:昨天,我和我的小朋友Tom度过了一个难忘的下午。根据时间状语“Yesterday”可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故将spend改为spent。
2.考查定语从句的关系词。句意:Tom是我隔壁邻居的孩子。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是指人的“Tom”,关系词在从句中充当主语,故将which改为who。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:当我放学回家时,我发现Tom坐在楼梯上。find sb doing sth为固定短语,表示“发现某人正在做某事”,此处使用现在分词作宾语补足语。故将sit改为sitting。
4. 考查连词。句意:由于我知道他丢了他的钥匙,所以我邀请他到我家。because引导原因状语从句,与so不能同时出现在同一个复合句中。故去掉so。
5.考查宾语从句。句意:同时,我打电话给他的母亲,告诉她发生了什么。此处需要一个连接词引导宾语从句,并且在从句中作主语,指代发生的事情。故将that改为what。
6.考查代词。句意:很快Tom完成了所有的作业。根据上文“He started to do his homework(他开始做他的作业)”可知,这里指的是Tom完成了他的作业,Tom是男性,故将her改为his。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:由于时间还早,我决定和他下中国象棋,这样他就不会感到无聊。decide to do sth为固定短语,表示“决定做某事”,需要加不定式符号to。故在decided后加to。
8.考查形容词。句意:同上。根据“so that he wouldn’t feel(所以他不会感到……)”可知,此处形容人的感受,使用V-ed形式的形容词。故将boring改为bored。
9.考查副词。句意:Tom非常认真,在任何行动之前他都思考得很努力。hardly意为“几乎不”,hard意为“努力地”,此处指Tom努力地思考,故将hardly改为hard。
10.考查冠词。句意:Tom说他度过了一个愉快的下午。enjoyable是以元音音素开头的单词,前面应使用不定冠词an。故将a改为an。

【答案】Dear Kate,
Last Saturday, typhoon struck some parts of our city, causing great damage and several deaths. I’m writing to inform you of some tips on typhoon safety so that you can protect yourself and your property from a typhoon.
First of all, you can download a typhoon warning alarm application on your phone just in case, so that you have time to get yourself prepared in advance. Second of all, before a typhoon strikes, make sure you have sufficient food, water, medicine and batteries for emergency. In addition, during a typhoon, you’d better stay inside, and pay attention to news updates to confirm whether the danger is gone.
After this, I think we should be thankful for each day a try to live our life to the full. Hope we can get through this time without any loss.
Yours,
Li Hua
