A
I think a close friend is someone you get on well with,who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice,and who always has time for you. I didn't use to have many close friends when I was at school because I was very shy,but now I have several. They are all women. I think it's difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex(异性).
---Marie
I think a close friend is someone who you've known for a long time,and who you still get on with. They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I've got three close friends who I was at middle school with and we often go out together (without our parents of course). We often go camping,play football,or walk outside in the open air.
---David
I'm not sure how to answer the question because I don't really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work,and the social occasions(场合) when we meet are business dinners, things like that. I think if you come from a really close family,friends are a bit unnecessary. I like spending my free time with my family.
---Richard
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with I go out at weekends with a group of people,and they are all my close friends. They're also people who live near me. I don't think you can have close friends at a distance because you need to be able to see each other often. But I don't think you need to be doing the same things. I mean I'm at school but none of my friends are.
---Anna

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
8. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?
A. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
9. What can we know from the passage about creativity?
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
10. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
11. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.
D
The number of American young students using vaping(电子烟)fell sharply this year, according to a 2020 survey.
The 2020 survey was carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA). About 20,000 American students took part in the survey from mid-January to mid-March. They were asked about the use of any vaping or tobacco products during the past month. Under 20 % of high school students said they were recent users of e-cigarettes and other vaping products. Just 5 % of middle school students said they had recently used them.
That marked a big decrease from a similar survey in 2019. The earlier survey found nearly 28% of high school students and 11% of middle school students had recently vaped.
Health experts believe that the drop comes after last year's sudden increase in vaping-related illnesses and death. An investigation showed that last year, more than 2,600 cases of lung injuries, including 60 deaths, were connected with vaping. Most of those who got sick said they had vaped mixtures containing THC.
Earlier this year,the FDA banned some flavors(味道)from vaping devices mainly used by teens. And the federal law now bans(禁止)sales of all tobacco products and e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 21.
Matt Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said the survey showed a "meaningful drop'” in teen vaping. But he felt disappointed that the Trump government didn't follow through a promise to ban all flavored e-cigarettes."As long as any flavored e-cigarettes are left on the market, kids will get their hands on them and we will not solve the crisis,"Myers said.
12. Which of the following statement is true?
A. Vaping rates among young students in the U.S went up last year.
B. The vaping increase was not linked to popular e-cigarettes.
C. Most patients surveyed blamed their disease on mixtures containing THC.
D. The Trump government said no to all flavored e-cigarettes.
13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. what causes the drop in vaping among teens
B. what effects vaping has on teens
C. why vaping enjoys popularity among teens
D. how vaping becomes popular among teens
14. What's Matt Myer's attitude towards the Trump government's efforts to ban cigarettes?
A. Positive
B. Negative
C. Objective
D. Doubtful
15. In which section can the passage be found?
A. Entertainment
B. Politics
C. Education
D. Health

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
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。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

I think a close friend is someone you get on well with,who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice,and who always has time for you. I didn't use to have many close friends when I was at school because I was very shy,but now I have several. They are all women. I think it's difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex(异性).
---Marie
I think a close friend is someone who you've known for a long time,and who you still get on with. They have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I've got three close friends who I was at middle school with and we often go out together (without our parents of course). We often go camping,play football,or walk outside in the open air.

I'm not sure how to answer the question because I don't really have any close friends.

---Richard
For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people,and they are all my close friends. They're also people who live near me.

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。Helene和丈夫离开越南时,他们并不富有。Helene给她的女儿讲述了一个关于团结的故事。几双筷子被绑在一起将会很难被折断,家庭亦是如此。文章通过讲述一个家族企业的发展历程来强调家庭团结的重要性。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. This lesson about family unity...”可知,Helene把筷子绑在一起并试着折断它们,是为了显示团结的力量。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据“when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money.”可知,当离开越南时,Helene夫妇并没有太多的钱。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."可知,尽管有时家庭成员之间意见不一致,但他们一起努力使生意成功。女儿伊丽莎白解释说:“我们的母亲教导我们。要成功,我们必须团结;要团结,我们必须和平相处。没有家庭的力量,就没有生意的成功。所以通过关键词“disagreed with,make the business successful”以及伊丽莎白所说的话可以判断出,这五个女儿受到妈妈教诲的影响,团结一心,把生意越做越大。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结).”和第三段“to succeed we must have unity”与第四段“and they worked together. Now they are a big success.”可知,文章主要讲的是家庭团结对取得成功的重要性。所以短文最佳标题为“家庭团结成就成功”。故选D项。

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
8. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?
A. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
B. People should be discouraged to think freely.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.
9. What can we know from the passage about creativity?
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
10. Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A. They don’t attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
11. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.(他的前公司从错误中吸取了教训。现在,它鼓励人们把15%的工作时间花在思考和发展新想法上。)”可知,Drew的前公司从错误中吸取了教训,认为花时间思考和开发新的想法是很有必要的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.(创造力是指利用所拥有的资源来产生对某事有益的新想法。)”可知,创造力是一种利用所学知识来解决新问题的方法。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. (随着孩子年龄的增长,父母应该试着让他们决定如何利用时间或花钱。)”可知,父母应该试着让孩子自己决定如何利用他们的时间或花钱。故选A项。

The number of American young students using vaping(电子烟)fell sharply this year, according to a 2020 survey.
The 2020 survey was carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA). About 20,000 American students took part in the survey from mid-January to mid-March. They were asked about the use of any vaping or tobacco products during the past month. Under 20 % of high school students said they were recent users of e-cigarettes and other vaping products. Just 5 % of middle school students said they had recently used them.
That marked a big decrease from a similar survey in 2019. The earlier survey found nearly 28% of high school students and 11% of middle school students had recently vaped.
Health experts believe that the drop comes after last year's sudden increase in vaping-related illnesses and death. An investigation showed that last year, more than 2,600 cases of lung injuries, including 60 deaths, were connected with vaping. Most of those who got sick said they had vaped mixtures containing THC.
Earlier this year,the FDA banned some flavors(味道)from vaping devices mainly used by teens. And the federal law now bans(禁止)sales of all tobacco products and e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 21.
Matt Myers of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said the survey showed a "meaningful drop'” in teen vaping. But he felt disappointed that the Trump government didn't follow through a promise to ban all flavored e-cigarettes."As long as any flavored e-cigarettes are left on the market, kids will get their hands on them and we will not solve the crisis,"Myers said.
12. Which of the following statement is true?
A. Vaping rates among young students in the U.S went up last year.
B. The vaping increase was not linked to popular e-cigarettes.
C. Most patients surveyed blamed their disease on mixtures containing THC.
D. The Trump government said no to all flavored e-cigarettes.
13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. what causes the drop in vaping among teens
B. what effects vaping has on teens
C. why vaping enjoys popularity among teens
D. how vaping becomes popular among teens
14. What's Matt Myer's attitude towards the Trump government's efforts to ban cigarettes?
A. Positive
B. Negative
C. Objective
D. Doubtful
15. In which section can the passage be found?
A. Entertainment
B. Politics
C. Education
D. Health
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Most of those who got sick said they had vaped mixtures containing THC.(大多数染病的人说他们吸入了含有四氢大麻酚的混合物。)”可知,大部分患者都把他们患病的原因归咎于含有THC的混合物。blame … on …意为:把责任归到……身上;归咎于。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。第四段第一句“Health experts believe that the drop comes after last year's sudden increase in vaping-related illnesses and death.(健康专家认为,在去年与吸电子烟有关的疾病和死亡突然增加之后,这一数字出现了下降。)”是全段的中心句,表明全段主要介绍了导致青少年使用电子烟的比例急剧下降的原因是什么。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。A. Positive积极的;B. Negative消极的;C. Objective客观的;D. Doubtful可疑的。根据最后一段中“But he felt disappointed that the Trump government didn't follow through a promise to ban all flavored e-cigarettes.(但他对特朗普政府没有把禁止所有调味电子烟的承诺履行到底感到失望。)”可知特朗普政府并没有打算从根本上禁止所有调味电子烟,由此推断对于此事的态度是消极的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中的“Health experts(健康专家)”、“vaping-related illnesses and death(与电子烟有关的疾病和死亡)”、“Most of those who got sick said they had vaped mixtures containing THC.(大多数染病的人说他们吸入了含有四氢大麻酚的混合物。)”可总结出,全文是关于电子烟对青少年的身体健康的危害的。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:艾米和珍妮是八年的密友。分析句子结构可知,句中缺谓语动词,时间状语是“for eight years”以及句意可知,用现在完成时,主语是“Amy and Jenny”,所以谓语动词为复数形式。故填have been。
【37题详解】

【答案】Dear Tim,
I am sorry to know that you are not getting on well with your parents. Here I am writing to give some advice on how to deal with it, and I hope it can help you.
First, it’s quite normal for you to have different opinions with your parents, and you should often have more talks to exchange your ideas so that you can understand each other better. Second, you can be more active to help with housework after school, which will help you know more about their hard work. Third, show immediate thanks to your parents when they do things for you, and also you can think about what you can do for them, especially on the special days like birthdays.
In my opinion, think more for your parents and I think you will get on well with them soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
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。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

【答案】范文:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了作家大卫偶遇一位正在大声责骂自己八岁的儿子愚蠢无用的母亲,想到自己过去的经历,如果不是因为中学的英语老师Mrs. Brown的鼓励和认可,他不会有现在的成就。于是大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心,这位母亲也意识到了自己的问题,希望这段小小的经历能给这个男孩带来改变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“受到自己故事的启发,大卫决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知,第一段可描写大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心。
②由第二段首句“母亲听到这话感到很惭愧”可知,第二段可描写这位母亲思想和态度的转变,从而希望能给男孩带来改变。
2. 续写线索:决定做点什么——与母亲交流,讲述自己的经历——母亲感到惭愧——意识到自己的问题——决定改变——离开——希望
3. 词汇激活:
行为类:
①决定做某事:decide to do/determine to do
②聊天:chat with/talk with
③擅长做某事:be good at doing/do well in doing
④鼓励:encourage/inspire
情绪类:
