The Jane Austen Festival, held in Bath in September, is a popular hangout for super fans. Ten days of Austen-inspired events include guided walks, concerts, dance classes and more. But the fashion will impress you the most! You can see all ladies and gentlemen dress in the style of the 18th century period. It’s hard not to ooh and ah at every corner. Jane Austen spent the final eight years of her life living in Chawton. Today, her home serves as a public museum. The museum once created an exhibition — “Jane Austen in 41 Objects”. Each object explores a different aspect of Jane Austen’s life and works. It ran from March 10th to December 15th. Jane Austen Center is a must-visit to enjoy afternoon tea like Jane and her characters. Although guests are able to visit the tea room for free, it’s worth paying for a ticket to the center to see a life-sized statue of Jane and try on a variety of traditional costumes. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Love sports?

For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench program. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps. Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called GreenTree Plastics was able to upcycle these into three benches. In addition to all the kids her project has helped, Sammie is grateful for how it has changed her. “It just helped me grow in so many different aspects of my life,” she says. Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “It can make someone’s day and lead to a chain reaction,” she says. “You never know. Just be kind, in general.” 24. What do we know about the Buddy Bench program? A. It helps lonely kids to make friends. B. Only lonely kids can sit on the bench. C. The program brought all the kids together. D. It made Sammie Vance popular among the kids. 25. What is probably not a challenge of the program? A. lacking money B. collecting materials for the bench C. gaining support from her classmates D. getting approval of her school and her parents 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. She collected the bottle caps from all over the country. B. The benches were made to be eco-friendly and low-cost. C. A company upcycled the caps into three benches for free. D. She donated benches to schools and parks all around the country. 27. What’s the influence the project has on Sammie? A. It helped her grow in many respects. B. She became popular among the students. C. It can brighten her day and lead to a chain reaction. D. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27.

As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education. On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education ( MOE) gave a document showing the revised curriculum (修改后的方案) for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary services and so on. “Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi. According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years. According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time. According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. However, doing housework does not distract young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better…”, he said. 28. If you , you can get the credit s of the labor course. A. do volunteer work B. do homework C. learn to drive a car D. go traveling 29. What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about? A. The time to carry out labor education. B. The way to carry out labor education. C. The place to carry out labor education. D. The purpose to carry out labor education. 30 Who spend the most time on housework? A. Students in China. B. Students in South Korea. C. Students in America. D. Students in France. 31. In which column of a newspaper may we read this passage? A. Health. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Art. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道，报道了全国高中修订后的课程包括了劳动教育，劳动教育是培养强大的工作精神所必需的部分。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits.(据《中国青年报》报道，劳动课程将获得6个学分，与外语和物理相同。志愿服务，作为劳动教育的一部分，将占两个学分)”可知，如果做志愿者工作，你可以获得劳动课的学分。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.(教育部副部长郑富芝表示:“劳动教育必须以培养正确的世界观、人生观和价值观为目的，培养干家务的兴趣。”)”可知，郑富芝谈论了开展劳动教育的目的。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.(一项调查显示，中国中学生每天只花12分钟做家务，而美国为72分钟，韩国为42分钟，法国为30分钟)”可知，美国学生花在家务上时间最长。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.(来自江苏省泰州中学的学生们在他们的劳动课程中体验农业。我们都知道，烹饪和绘画等生活技能很重要，应该作为劳动教育的一部分来教授)”及全文内容可以推断，本文主要讲了关于劳动教育的内容，因此，出自报纸的教育专栏。故选B项。 D “Why do people enjoy saying that they are bad at math?” wonders Petra Bonfert, a professor of engineering at Dartmouth College. After seeing too many examples of adults “passing on mathematical anxiety like a virus,” Bonfert has an important message for math-phobic parents and educators: “We are passing on from generation to generation the fear for mathematics.” Many people hold the view that math is inherently hard, and only people with an inborn mathematical ability can understand it. While well-meaning adults may think they’re encouraging kids by sharing their own math fears, research has shown the opposite. Research has found that the problem is particularly significant for girls, who “are especially affected when a teacher publicly announces math hatred before she picks up the chalk.” Moreover, a study published recently reported that female mathematical achievement was diminished in response to a female teacher’s mathematical anxiety. The effect was correlated: the higher a teacher’s anxiety, the lower the scores.” Parents’ anxiety about math can have a similar effect on kids’ achievement and their attitude toward the subject. Children who received math homework help from mathematically fearful parents showed weaker math achievements than their peers, which in turn resulted in increased math anxiety for the children themselves. New research on math anxiety confirms that these parents unintentionally teach kids to expect that math will be beyond their capabilities. Fortunately, Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist of Barnard College, has found a surprisingly easy way for parents to stop passing on math anxiety and build their children’s math confidence. The most important finding is the importance of normalizing math at home in a way that’s relaxing and playful: from using math-themed books and stories, playing with math games and toys to cooking together. He argues that we need to teach kids that “working on mathematical skills is not unlike practicing a sport. Neither can be learned by watching others perform the activity and both require encouragement and effort. You do not need an inborn mathematical ability in order to solve mathematical problems. Rather, what is required is perseverance, a willingness to take risks and feeling safe to make mistakes. 32. Why do some people share their math fear with kids? A. To expect kids to learn from their mistake. B. To prove only geniuses can learn it well. C. To give encouragement to their kids. D. To stress the importance of genetic factors. 33. What does the underlined word “diminished” mean? A. Decreased. B. Measured. C. Improved. D. Influenced. 34. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Normalizing maths at home is relaxing and full of fun. B. Having an inborn math ability is essential to children. C. Developing mathematical skills differs from doing a sport. D. Encouragement and efforts help yield math learning success. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Math-phobic adults are to blame for math failure. B. Math anxiety is nothing to be afraid of at all. C. Parents and teachers pass on math fear to kids. D. Risks and mistakes are what success takes. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了虽然善意的成年人可能认为，他们分享自己对数学的恐惧是在鼓励孩子，但研究表明，事实恰恰相反。研究指出父母或者老师对数学的焦虑可能会对孩子的成绩和他们对数学的态度产生类似的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While well-meaning adults may think they’re encouraging kids by sharing their own math fears, research has shown the opposite.(虽然善意的成年人可能认为，他们分享自己对数学的恐惧是在鼓励孩子，但研究表明，事实恰恰相反)”可知，有些人会和孩子们分享他们对数学的恐惧是为了鼓励他们的孩子。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“a study published recently reported that female mathematical achievement was”以及后文“in response to a female teacher’s mathematical anxiety. The effect was correlated: the higher a teacher’s anxiety, the lower the scores.”可知，这种影响是相关的：老师越焦虑，分数就越低，所以可以得知最近发表的一项研究报告称，女教师的数学焦虑会降低女性的数学成绩。故画线词意思是“降低”。A. Decreased.减少，降低；B. Measured.测量；C. Improved.改善；D. Influenced.影响。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Neither can be learned by watching others perform the activity and both require encouragement and effort.(这两种方法都不能通过观看别人的表演来学习，都需要鼓励和努力)”可知，鼓励和努力有助于数学学习的成功。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“After seeing too many examples of adults “passing on mathematical anxiety like a virus,” Bonfert has an important message for math-phobic parents and educators: “We are passing on from generation to generation the fear for mathematics.”(在看到太多成年人“将数学焦虑像病毒一样传播”的例子后，邦弗特向患有数学恐惧症的父母和教育者传达了一条重要信息：“我们正在将对数学的恐惧一代一代地传递下去。”)”以及最后一段中“Fortunately, Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist of Barnard College, has found a surprisingly easy way for parents to stop passing on math anxiety and build their children’s math confidence.(幸运的是，巴纳德学院的认知科学家Sian Beilock发现了一种非常简单的方法，可以让父母停止传递数学焦虑，并帮助孩子建立数学自信)”结合文章主要说明了虽然善意的成年人可能认为，他们分享自己对数学的恐惧是在鼓励孩子，但研究表明，事实恰恰相反。研究指出父母或者老师对数学的焦虑可能会对孩子的成绩和他们对数学的态度产生类似的影响。可知，文章的主旨是父母和老师把对数学的恐惧传递给孩子。故选C。 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。 How to realize your potential I've always wanted to reach my full potential and abilities. I want to tell you about four changes I made—and you can make—to reach your highest potential: 1. Write down your goals. You set these goals. Don't let anybody else tell you what your goals should be. Think of success like breathing air; your last breath is important, but it's your next breath that's important. Goals keep you focused on what's next. ___36___ 2. Choose things just out of reach. Don't just think about what is "realistic". The problem with realistic thinking is that it's usually based on what others think is possible. ___37___ Whenever you start a task with a mind toward the potential outcome, you will limit the actions required to realize that goal. 3. ___38___ Never do anything normal. Take massive action until one day it is a habit for you. People will ask you: "Why are you still out this late? What are you doing calling on a Saturday? You never quit, do you?" ___39___ Big goals require big actions. Reaching your full potential requires massive actions. 4. Stay persistent（坚持）. How do you get a nail in a wall? You hit it over and over again. ___40___ The ability to persist on your path is a secret common to those who make it. Reaching your potential requires you to be persistent. A. Take massive action. B. And even "What are you on?" C. Rome wasn't built in a day. D. They don't know your potential. E. Don't let anyone else judge your success. F. And writing them down keeps you on track. G. How much success have you got in your life? 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. A 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者在文章中介绍了四个关于如何实现你的最大潜能的方法。 【36题详解】 根据小标题Write down your goals. 写下你的目标。可知此段关于写下目标内容；再根据前一句Goals keep you focused on what's next. 目标让你专注于下一步。可知此处说目标goals的好处，且选项F中的them指代的是goals。故F选项“把它们写下来能让你坚持下去 ”切题。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据前一句The problem with realistic thinking is that it's usually based on what others think is possible. 现实主义思维问题在于，它通常建立在别人认为可能的基础上。可知此处与others这些人有关，且选项D中代词They指的就是others，possible与potential意思相近。故D选项“他们不了解你的潜力”切题。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据本段第二句Take massive action until one day it is a habit for you. 采取大量的行动，直到有一天它成为你的习惯。可知此处小标题选与action有关。故A选项“采取大量的行动”切题。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上一句 People will ask you: "Why are you still out this late? What are you doing calling on a Saturday?

For years, she’s been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench program. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me,” she says, “that this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so when she got home, she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money,” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she called on her community to gather bottle caps. Word of the project got out, and soon Sammie was getting caps from people in all 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called GreenTree Plastics was able to upcycle these into three benches. In addition to all the kids her project has helped, Sammie is grateful for how it has changed her. “It just helped me grow in so many different aspects of my life,” she says. Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around the country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “It can make someone’s day and lead to a chain reaction,” she says. “You never know. Just be kind, in general.” 24. What do we know about the Buddy Bench program? A. It helps lonely kids to make friends. B. Only lonely kids can sit on the bench. C. The program brought all the kids together. D. It made Sammie Vance popular among the kids. 25. What is probably not a challenge of the program? A. lacking money B. collecting materials for the bench C. gaining support from her classmates D. getting approval of her school and her parents 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. She collected the bottle caps from all over the country. B. The benches were made to be eco-friendly and low-cost. C. A company upcycled the caps into three benches for free. D. She donated benches to schools and parks all around the country. 27. What’s the influence the project has on Sammie? A. It helped her grow in many respects. B. She became popular among the students. C. It can brighten her day and lead to a chain reaction. D. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.

Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary services and so on. “Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi. According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years. According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time. According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. However, doing housework does not distract young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better…”, he said. 28.

Health. B. Education. C. Sports. D. Art. D “Why do people enjoy saying that they are bad at math?” wonders Petra Bonfert, a professor of engineering at Dartmouth College. After seeing too many examples of adults “passing on mathematical anxiety like a virus,” Bonfert has an important message for math-phobic parents and educators: “We are passing on from generation to generation the fear for mathematics.” Many people hold the view that math is inherently hard, and only people with an inborn mathematical ability can understand it. While well-meaning adults may think they’re encouraging kids by sharing their own math fears, research has shown the opposite. Research has found that the problem is particularly significant for girls, who “are especially affected when a teacher publicly announces math hatred before she picks up the chalk.” Moreover, a study published recently reported that female mathematical achievement was diminished in response to a female teacher’s mathematical anxiety. The effect was correlated: the higher a teacher’s anxiety, the lower the scores.” Parents’ anxiety about math can have a similar effect on kids’ achievement and their attitude toward the subject. Children who received math homework help from mathematically fearful parents showed weaker math achievements than their peers, which in turn resulted in increased math anxiety for the children themselves. New research on math anxiety confirms that these parents unintentionally teach kids to expect that math will be beyond their capabilities. Fortunately, Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist of Barnard College, has found a surprisingly easy way for parents to stop passing on math anxiety and build their children’s math confidence. The most important finding is the importance of normalizing math at home in a way that’s relaxing and playful: from using math-themed books and stories, playing with math games and toys to cooking together. He argues that we need to teach kids that “working on mathematical skills is not unlike practicing a sport. Neither can be learned by watching others perform the activity and both require encouragement and effort. You do not need an inborn mathematical ability in order to solve mathematical problems. Rather, what is required is perseverance, a willingness to take risks and feeling safe to make mistakes. 32. Why do some people share their math fear with kids? A. To expect kids to learn from their mistake. B. To prove only geniuses can learn it well. C. To give encouragement to their kids. D. To stress the importance of genetic factors. 33.

Normalizing maths at home is relaxing and full of fun. B. Having an inborn math ability is essential to children. C. Developing mathematical skills differs from doing a sport. D. Encouragement and efforts help yield math learning success. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Math-phobic adults are to blame for math failure. B. Math anxiety is nothing to be afraid of at all. C. Parents and teachers pass on math fear to kids. D. Risks and mistakes are what success takes. 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。 How to realize your potential I've always wanted to reach my full potential and abilities.
