She was honored (给与奖励) as a role model in China’s fight against poverty (贫穷). Her name is Xia Sen. Over the past years, 98-year-old Xia Sen has given away most of her personal savings to help students from poor families in Danfeng, Shaanxi, and Shangyou, Jiangxi get an education. Born in 1923, Xia was only 15 years old when she became a teacher in Yan’an. While teaching she kept learning. Years later, she went to work as a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In 2006, Xia visited Xijie Primary School in Danfeng. The school was old and in bad condition. That made her very sad. She spent 20,000 yuan buying desks and books for the students. In 2008, she took out 200,000 yuan and helped Zhaogou Primary School in Danfeng build a classroom building. It is a building with eight bright and clean classrooms, which is a complete change from what their old classrooms looked like. Five years later, Xia used 1 million yuan of her savings to set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship (夏森 助学金)” to help high school and college students from poor families in Danfeng and Shangyou. So far, at least 182 students have gotten help from the scholarship to pay for their education. Some students who got Xia’s scholarship went to Xia’s home to visit her in 2018. To their surprise, Xia and her husband led a very simple life. “I was moved by Granny Xia and her husband,” one student said. Though Xia and her husband have given away most of their savings to help the poor students, they always say that what they have done is far from enough. Xia often says her life is much better than her life in Yan’an. Now her only hope is that she can help more students. 46. The underlined word “savings” means ________ in Chinese. A. 救助 B. 避免 C. 储蓄 D. 减少 47. What happened when Xia was 15 years old? A. She left Yan’an. B. She went to college. C. She became a teacher. D. She studied in Danfeng. 48. What did Xia do for Zhaogou Primary School? A. She gave away 20,000 yuan to it. B. She gave talks to encourage its students. C. She bought desks and books for its students. D. She helped build a classroom building for it. 5 49. Why did Xia set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship ”? A. To help high school and college students from poor families. B. To build a classroom building. C. To buy desks and books. D. To have a better life. 50. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A big honor B. A big change C. A role model D. An elderly couple C AI（人工智能）makes our lives easier and better. Let’s see the amazing AI. Cool driverless bus A bus door opens and you get on. Wait! Where is the driver? Here is a new kind of driverless bus called Apolong. It has 14 seats and doesn’t need a driver. The bus follows traffic rules. It will stop as soon as it sees stop light. Your close friend Hi, everyone. I’m Xiaobing, a chatbot（聊天机器人）. I speak like a 17-year-old girl. If you feel lonely, you can talk with me. I’m talented in singing, writing poems and telling stories. I want to be your friend! World’s first Al anchor（主播） Hey, look! The famous Chinese anchor Qiu Hao is reporting the news for us. But, is “he” really Qiu Hao? The answer is “no”. This is the world’s first AI anchor. It looks and speaks just like a real person. It can work 24 hours and doesn’t make any mistakes. You might see it on TV soon. Popular AI artist This beautiful painting was at an auction（拍卖）in 2020. The painting is worth about 3,000,000 yuan! But it is not a work by a famous painter, such as Vincent van Gogh. It was painted by an AI artist. Three Frenchmen created the AI artist. It studied over 15,000 paintings. In this way, it learned to paint. 51. The fact about Apolong is that ________. A. the bus door can’t open itself B. it will stop as soon as it sees a stop light C. there are 24 seats in it D. it doesn’t follow the traffic rules 52. Xiaobing can NOT ________. A. go out to play with you B. talk with you if you feel lonely C. sing D. be your friend 53. The painting ________. A. was at an auction in 2019 B. is worth about 3,000,000 yuan at an auction C. is a work painted by Vincent van Gogh D. was studied by three French artists over 15,000 times 54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. AI makes our lives harder and worse. B. This new kind of driverless bus also needs a driver to control it. C. Xiaobing is a 17-year-old girl. D. The AI anchor can work 24 hours and doesn’t make any mistakes. 55. We can probably read the passage in ________. A. a storybook B. a notice C. a newspaper D. a novel 6 D As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize （诺贝尔奖）.56 You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make it come true? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing（实现）our dreams is life's biggest challenge （挑战）. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. 57 In fact, everyone can realize their dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. 58 Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up on your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. 59 Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. 60 But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests. 根据短文内容，从短文后的六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。（有一项多余） A. Or they can be small. B. Don't let it leave your heart. C.These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream. D. You need to decide what is most important. E. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. F. Then it may help them to face challenges. 第 II卷（共 60分） VII. 词汇运用（满分 25分） A.用所给词的适当形式填空。每词限用一次。（共 5小题，每小题 2分，共 10分） win fill arrive prepare catch 61.Jack will have an exam next month,so he ____________ for it these days. 62.Luckily, she __________the last bus last night. 63.I am sure you _________late if you walk to the meeting. 64.My mother usually __________ my bags with food when I leave home. 65.All the students look forward to________ the games . 7 B.根据句意和所给提示完成句子，每空一词。（共 5小题，每小题 1分，共 5分） 66.Mrs. Jenny gave us some ______________ (建议) on how to learn English well. 67.

They also tested the safety(安全) of their space suits and did some other work in space. So far, only 16 women (including WangYaping) around the world have done spacewalks. Scientists think women spacewalkers are very important to space science. Usually, women are more careful than men and they can better do with loneliness(孤独). So 83. it’s easier for them to stay long in space. 84. Scientists believe that humans may live on other planets someday. If we don’t let women take part in this, the research results of space life science would be incomplete(不完整的).

I will do it by myself,” said the hen. She planted the seeds and watered them every day. They grew quickly into brown wheat. “Who wishes to harvest（收获）the wheat?” the red hen asked again. Still, all of them refused. The red hen had to work all day long. By evening she had two bags full of wheat. She asked, “Who will help me to grind（磨）the wheat?” All the three refused as usual. The red hen knew she would grind by herself. She made it into flour（面粉）and used it to make bread! The next day she baked delicious bread and asked, “Who wishes to share this bread?” Surprisingly, they all agreed happily. “None of you can eat it! No gains（收获、收益）without pains（痛苦、辛苦）. I worked in the field and at home. Only my children and I are able to eat the bread!” The red hen fed her chicks and ate a delicious meal that day. 86. 猜测“happened”的中文意思___________________________________________________ 87.
