Where should I continue? W：You can clean the refrigerator. I’ll finish cleaning the dining room in a minute and then I will help you in the kitchen. Text 2 W：Hey，James，what are you going to do after work? Can I ask you to dinner? M：Tonight? Let me think... I usually like to plan ahead. I don’t feel like doing something at the last minute. Text 3 M：There is a delay of three hours. That means our flight won’t leave until 6：30. Let’s find some seats in the quiet part of the terminal to take a nap. W：Good idea. Text 4 W：Did you have any problems on your tour? M：No，I didn’t. But our tour guide did have. One guy couldn’t find his passport. Finally she helped him find it in his suitcase but that took a long time. Text 5 W：My friend was going to pick me up to the show but he has something urgent to do now，and it’s too late to catch a bus. M：Well，you can use this app to take a taxi together with those who are going in the same direction. It’s fast and cheap. W：Sounds great. Text 6 W：Can I help you，sir? M：Yes，I have a terrible toothache. I want to meet Doctor Lee. W：Do you have an appointment? M：No，I don’t. I got the pain suddenly. May I see him now? W：I’m sorry. Doctor Lee is in a very important meeting now and can’t be interrupted. M：How long will the meeting last? W：Let me see... It’s 4：30 p.m. now. I guess it won’t be too long as it has already lasted for an hour and a half. M：OK. I can wait here. My cell phone has run out. Can you give me some magazines? W：Sorry，but there’re some newspapers on the shelf. M：That’s great. Text 7 M：You are always taking a cat nap! What did you do at night? W：My apartment is near the road，and there are so many cars passing by every night. They make so much noise. I often can’t sleep well. M：That’s terrible! Do you have any solutions? W：Actually no. M：Well，how about changing the apartment? W：I don’t think it’s a good idea. The rent for my apartment is very low and it is near the bus station. It’s convenient to go to work. M：No wonder you get to the office so early every day. Do other people also complain about it? W：Yes，most of them do. M：Why not discuss it with your neighbors? I’m sure they could come up with some good ideas. W：I will take your advice. Thank you. Text 8 M：Mandy，I can take my vacation earlier this year. Your mom and I have talked about this with you. So during your summer vacation，we’ll have two ways to have fun. One is a trip across Los Angeles，and the other is to explore Florida. Which one would you like? W：Actually，I’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii. M：OK. We should surf the Internet and check flight schedules as soon as possible. I remember a ticket costs 500 dollars. But they will give a 50% discount for the second person. That means the four of us can fly at the cost of three full-price tickets. W：Hawaii，here we come. M：Your mother and I will make hotel reservations. As to the scenic spots，it’s up to you and Tim. Is that a deal? W：Yeah，great! But I have lots of clothes to take. M：I’ll help you pack. Text 9 W：Jim，are you interested in doing voluntary work? M：Of course，Linda. I have been doing a lot of voluntary work，and I have realized that being a volunteer is not only meaningful but also really fun. W：What kind of voluntary work have you done? M：I was a voluntary tour guide at the fourth Understanding China Conference for cultural exchange in Guangzhou in 2019. W：That is amazing. Have you done any other voluntary work? M：I also taught English to some special children，whose parents left them and worked in big cities all year round. W：That is meaningful. They really need more care and attention. Do you have any plans for your voluntary work? M：Well，you know，I am a medical student. I am applying to do voluntary work in Africa，to help the AIDS patients there. W：Really? It must be kind of dangerous. M：Yeah. But I do believe that the greatest happiness comes from helping others. W：I agree. A person like you is a hero. We should learn from you. Text 10 W：Dear Jeff， I am writing to tell you something about my two-week summer camp in Beijing. The summer camp that offered a variety of fun activities was for language learning. The other campers and I learned Chinese through games，role-playing and storytelling. We also took part in activities like buying vegetables at the market and booking entrance tickets to the museum. The real-world practice gave us the chance to use the vocabulary we had learnt. We were involved in many cultural activities，such as fan painting，paper cutting and opera mask painting. My favorite one was fan painting. We learnt traditional fan painting skills and designed our own fans in the workshop. It was so cool to drive away the summer heat with a fan painted by myself. A visit to Beijing would not be complete without seeing the Great Wall and Tian’anmen. And I was amazed by their splendor. We also visited some famous hutongs and other places of interest. What’s more，an exhibition showing China’s development over the past 75 years also impressed me. What’s your plan for this summer vacation? Can you share it with me? Yours sincerely， Cathy 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 The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has picked some activities to help build confidence， independence and adaptability among youngsters. ·Set yourself a physical challenge Learn survival skills at Sani Resort on Greece’s Halkidiki coast.The activity is sponsored by the Bear Grylls Survival Academy.Lessons include ways of hiding outdoors， seeking routes， building boats and finding food in the wild.

She said putting her feet into the pair of soft leather ballet shoes was very emotional. She said： “I’ve waited a long time for it.” A few days later， Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door， I twirled around with a big smile on my face. From the minute I started， I felt like coming home，” she said. Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly， her parents couldn’t afford the classes， for they were first-generation Indian immigrants， struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless， she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). At her present age， a grand plié—bending one’s knees fully until the thigh (大腿) are horizontal with the floor—seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move： leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs：‘I can’t do it.’‘I’m not good enough.’And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter，” she said. Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class， a nurse measured her at 163 cm， half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends to Leverton. She met a group of older， more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then， of course， there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need，” said Leverton. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tina Leverton因为年少时家里很穷，所以无法实现她的舞蹈梦。62岁时她开始学习芭蕾舞，虽然遇到了一些困难，但是她坚持了下来，芭蕾舞给她带来了很多变化。 24.How did Leverton feel when she took her first ballet class? A.Tired.　　　　　　　 B.Confused. C.Shocked. D.Thrilled. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As I came in the door， I twirled around with a big smile on my face. From the minute I started， I felt like coming home”可知，Leverton进门时，她带着灿烂的笑容旋转。由此可推知，Leverton上第一节芭蕾舞课时感觉很兴奋，故选D。 24 25 26 27 25.Why didn’t Leverton learn to dance when she was young? A.Her family was badly off. B.She wasn’t able to leap high. C.Her family laughed at her dream. D.She had to focus on classes. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sadly，her parents couldn’t afford the classes， for they were first-generation Indian immigrants， struggling to make a living in the UK.”可知，Leverton小时候家境贫寒，父母的收入也不高，所以导致她小时候不能学跳舞，故选A。 26.What did dancing bring to Leverton? A.A team award. B.Money and fame. C.Friendship and joy. D.A medical treatment. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Dancing has also brought new friends”以及“And then， of course， there is the joyful feeling.”可知，芭蕾舞给Leverton带来了很多的朋友和欢乐，故选C。 24 25 26 27 27.What can we learn from Leverton’s story? A.Hard work pays off. B.Never too old to pursue dreams. C.Interest is the key to success. D.Money isn’t everything. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，62岁时Leverton开始学习跳芭蕾舞，虽然遇到了一些困难，但是她坚持了下来，而且芭蕾舞给她带来了很多变化。她交了很多新朋友，而且从中获得了快乐。由此可推知，我们可以从Leverton的故事中学到“追求梦想永远不会嫌老”的道理，故选B。 C It’s no secret now that the more time we spend on social media， the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influencers and celebrities—so it’s easy to understand how that can affect our confidence. But， how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends’? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at contents shared by celebrities， new research has found. The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally， it found that engaging with contents posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at contents posted by strangers， including celebrities. Viren Swami， professor of social psychology at Anglia Ruskin University， believes this is partly because we know it’s hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influencers， but when we’re comparing ourselves to our friends， it feels like we should—or could—live the way they do. “One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post showing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know， adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post，” he said. “At the same time， people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities， and therefore perceive the images they share to be more unrealistic.” This isn’t just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers (触发) us. Maybe you’ve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media， envying your school friend who just landed his dream role. Maybe... All this is to state the obvious：We only see part of people’s lives—and if it’s getting you down， you’re probably comparing your insides to other people’s outsides. Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone. So， put down your phone， get offline， be thankful and try to live your own life. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。新研究发现，朋友的帖子比名人的帖子对人们的影响更大，让人们更容易与朋友进行比较。作者建议人们放下手机，心存感激，努力过好自己的生活。 28 29 30 31 28.What did the new study find? A.Social media invites unfavorable comments. B.Friends’ posts affect us more than celebrities’. C.Celebrities have a negative influence on our life.

D.We are curious about their life. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的内容可知，根据Swami的说法，我们更容易与朋友进行比较是因为他们的生活方式似乎更容易得到。故选C项。 30.What does the underlined word “confined” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Restricted. B.Related. C.Devoted. D.Exposed. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“We all have one area in our lives that triggers us.Maybe...Maybe...”可知，画线词所在句的意思是：但这不仅仅局限于身体形象。所以画线词可能的意思是“受限制的”。故选A项。related“相关的，有联系的”；devoted“挚爱的，忠诚的”；exposed“暴露的”。 28 29 30 31 31.What does the author suggest people do? A.Find your dream and fight for it. B.Stop comparing and be yourself. C.Be grateful and lead a perfect life.

In a study published in the European Heart Journal， a team found that going to sleep between 10：00 p.m. and 11：00 p.m. was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtime. The research included 88，026 participants in the UK. An analysis found that sleep onset time of 10：00 p.m. to 10：59 p.m. was associated with the lowest incidence of heart disease. There was a 25% higher risk of heart disease with the sleep onset at midnight or later， a 12% greater risk for 11：00 p.m. to 11：59 p.m. and a 24% higher risk for falling asleep before 10：00 p.m. compared to the sleep onset from 10：00 p.m. to 10：59 p.m. “The body has a 24-hour internal clock that helps adjust physical and mental functioning，”study author David of the University of Exeter said in a statement. “While we cannot conclude it from our study， the results suggest that early or late bedtime may be more likely to destroy the body clock.” “While the findings do not show the conclusion， sleep timing has appeared as a potential heart disease risk factor—independent of other risk factors. If our findings are proved in other studies， sleep timing and basic sleep health could be a low-cost public health target for lowering the risk of heart disease，” David added. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，在晚上10点到10点59分之间睡觉可以最大限度地降低患心脏病的风险，早睡或者晚睡都会破坏生物钟。所以，正确的睡眠时间和基本的睡眠健康可以低成本降低患心脏病的风险。 32.Which is the best time for sleep? A.8：40 p.m. B.9：50 p.m. C.10：45 p.m. D.11：10 p.m. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第一段的“In a study published...between 10：00 p.m. and 11：00 p.m. was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtime.”可知，晚上10点到11点之间入睡对身体最有益。 33.How is paragraph 2 organized? A.By giving some data. B.By raising a question. C.By giving an example. D.By following the time order. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。根据第二段的“There was a...from 10：00 p.m. to 10：59 p.m.”可知，与晚上10点至10点59分入睡相比，午夜或更晚入睡的人患心脏病的风险增加25%，晚上11点至11点59分入睡的人患心脏病的风险增加12%，晚上10点之前入睡的人患心脏病的风险增加24%。由此可知，该段主要使用了列举数据的写作手法。 32 33 34 35 34.What can be learned from David’s words? A.Sleep too early will surely cause heart disease. B.Sleep timing is a possible heart disease risk factor. C.Sleep timing is a risk factor related to other factors. D.Sleeping before eight will not damage your body clock. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第三段中David所说的话“While the findings...other risk factors.”可知，虽然研究结果没有得出结论，但睡眠时间已被视为一种潜在的心脏病风险因素，与其他风险因素无关。由此可知，睡眠时间可能是心脏病风险因素。 32 33 34 35 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Body Clocks Make a Difference to Sleep B.Sleeping Late Is Not Harmful to Heart Health C.Sleep Timing Has an Effect on Heart Disease D.Earlier Bedtime Is More Beneficial than Later One 答案：C 32 33 34 35 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项新发现：在晚上10点到10点59分之间睡觉可以最大限度地降低患心脏病的风险。故C项最适合作本文标题。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 　　[语篇解读]　文章就如何以适当的方式与数字世界互动给出了一些建议。 Could you remember what the first thing you do each day?The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check my phone. And I’ll keep doing that throughout the entire day until I go back to bed.If， like me， a lot of your technology habits are automatic (无意识的)，you may not even be aware of your behavior. 　36　 But with some efforts， you can engage with the digital world in a way that’s appropriate for you. Here’s how to get started.  36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A.Set some basic boundaries. B.It can be difficult to change. C.It gives you an opportunity to grow in ways. D.Ask yourself how you feel when you’re using social media. E.When you feel the urge to grab your phone， try one of those hobbies. F.It’s not ideal to put your phone next to the pillow to charge when you’re sleeping. G.In a word， you should be aware of when and how we use social media. 答案：B 36 37 38 39 40 空前的“The first thing I do...be aware of your behavior.”提到了“我”使用手机的不良习惯，同时结合空后的“But with some efforts...that’s appropriate for you.”可知，空处与下文构成转折关系，指出上文提到的不良习惯可能难以改变。结合选项可知，B项符合语境。 　37　 Try turning off push notifications (推送通知) and deleting social media apps from your phone to create natural obstacles to access them. Of course sometimes there are people you want to keep up with and usually connect with on a particular platform. In this case，let them know how they can stay in touch.  36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 答案：A A.Set some basic boundaries. B.It can be difficult to change. C.It gives you an opportunity to grow in ways. D.Ask yourself how you feel when you’re using social media. E.When you feel the urge to grab your phone， try one of those hobbies. F.It’s not ideal to put your phone next to the pillow to charge when you’re sleeping. G.In a word， you should be aware of when and how we use social media. 分析篇章结构可知，空处为本段主题句。下文主要建议我们可以尝试关掉推送通知以及删除手机上的社交媒体应用程序来为访问它们创造自然障碍。A项中的“boundaries”与空后一句中的“obstacles”前后呼应，故A项正确。 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 Whatever you do， don’t go to bed with your phone. 　38　 . Sleeping without smartphones improves sleep， relationships， focus and well-being， and increases happiness and quality of life. So charging your phone somewhere else could help you experience those benefits.  96 36 37 38 39 40 答案：F A.Set some basic boundaries. B.It can be difficult to change. C.It gives you an opportunity to grow in ways. D.Ask yourself how you feel when you’re using social media. E.When you feel the urge to grab your phone， try one of those hobbies. F.It’s not ideal to put your phone next to the pillow to charge when you’re sleeping. G.In a word， you should be aware of when and how we use social media. 空前的“Whatever you do， don’t go to bed with your phone.”提到不要拿着手机睡觉，同时结合空后的“Sleeping without smartphones...happiness and quality of life.”可推知，空处应是说拿着手机或把手机放在身边睡觉的坏处。同时下文中“charging your phone somewhere else”将范围缩小，由此推知，空处应是与手机充电有关，故F项符合语境。 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 Get to know yourself again by reinvesting in your hobbies.

F.It’s not ideal to put your phone next to the pillow to charge when you’re sleeping. G.In a word， you should be aware of when and how we use social media. 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文中的“Get to know yourself again by reinvesting in your hobbies.”及“Make a list of activities...hanging out with.”可知，当我们有玩手机的冲动时，就可以参考列出的清单，尝试做自己喜欢的事情。故选E。feel an urge to do sth.“有做某事的冲动”。 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 The goal with digital minimalism isn’t to figure out how to live without social media or the Internet.　40　 Technology should improve your life， not distract you from it.  36 37 38 39 40 答案：G A.Set some basic boundaries.

In most addictions， people feel forced to do certain activities so often that they become harmful habits，59._________ then affect other important activities such as work and study.  58.答案：behavio(u)r 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处作refers to的宾语，应用名词形式。behave对应的名词为behavio(u)r。 59.答案：which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。 In that context， a social networking addict could 60._________ (consider) someone with a powerful inner drive to use social media repeatedly—61._________ (constant) checking status updates or following people’s 62. _________ (profile) on Blog， for example， for hours on end.  60.答案：be considered 考查动词的语态。根据语境可知，a social networking addict与consider之间为被动关系，故应用被动语态。空前为情态动词could，故填be considered。 61.答案：constantly 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词应用副词。 62.答案：profiles 考查名词的单复数。profile是可数名词，此处表示复数意义，应用复数形式。 But it is hard to tell when fondness for 63._________ activity becomes dependency and crosses the line into a damaging habit or addiction. Does 64._________ (spend) three hours a day on Blog reading random information of strangers mean you’re addicted 65._________ Blog? How about five hours? You could argue you are reading headline news or need to stay current in your field for work， right?  63.答案：an 考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处activity表示泛指的一个活动。所以空处应用不定冠词；且activity的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。 64.答案：spending 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“64. _________ (spend) three hours a day...of strangers”在句中作主语。结合语境可知，此处表示泛指的一般性的动作，应用动词-ing形式短语作主语。  65.答案：to 考查介词。be addicted to...为固定短语，意为“对……上瘾”。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假定你是李华，本周四下午学校将组织主题为“Self-improvement”的英语演讲。请你写一篇演讲稿并准备参赛，内容包括： 1.自我提高的好处； 2.如何自我提高； 3.感谢聆听。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Good afternoon， everyone. I’m Li Hua from Class 1， Grade 2. It’s my honour to be here talking about “self-improvement”. We all know that self-improvement plays a vital part in our growth， but how can we improve ourselves? Personally， I think the most effective way is reading good books. As the saying goes， “Books are the ladder of human progress.” Besides， we can improve our behaviors by learning traditional Chinese culture， which contains significant instruction on conducting ourselves in our daily life. That’s all. Thanks for your listening. 第二节(满分25分) 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 son Ben had barely heard of his cousins Marcia and Juli before we moved to their hometown. Since we’d become neighbors， I thought he should get to know them. So， I invited the cousins over for a meet-and-greet one afternoon. When the bell rang， Ben rushed to open the door. In came Marcia， a chatty (健谈的)， retired school teacher in her 70s. Dragging behind her， relying heavily on his walking stick， was her over-eighty-year-old husband Juli， who used to be a sports lover. Not having seen him since I’d become a mom， I wondered whether he was kid-friendly. With one glance， I quickly decided that he probably wasn’t. After the introductions， we sat down to have a chat. Ben， who was 4 at the time， stared curiously at the cousins. Suddenly， he eyed Juli’s walking stick.“Why do you have a stick?” he asked abruptly. Juli paused for a while as he hadn’t expected my son to speak to him. Then he seemed pleased that Ben had noticed something about him. He briefly explained， and invited Ben to try out the walking stick. Excited，Ben stepped up， took it in his hand and walked with it around the room. The serious look on Juli’s face softened as he watched. That afternoon， Ben popped in and out of the room several times to have fun with his new friend. Toward the end of the visit， Ben sneaked over to Juli， wordlessly climbed onto his lap and gave him a hug. After a little surprise，Juli’s lips curved in a subtle smile. During the following two years， Juli often came to babysit Ben. The two would call each other buddy and laughed loudly together， even though one was much older. One summer evening， unexpectedly， I received a painful call saying that Juli had just passed away， which came as a shock to me. I gently told Ben about the terrible loss， explaining that Juli was 85.“That was so young!” Ben shouted in tears. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 The next day， we decided to visit cousin Marcia. ___________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before we left， Marcia told Ben that she had something special to give him. ______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] The next day， we decided to visit cousin Marcia. On our arrival， Ben gave her a warm hug. We then listened as she recalled Juli over family albums. With eyes lingering on the photos， Ben remained quiet. Suddenly he spotted a suntanned， unfamiliar young Juli. Curious， he looked up at Marcia. “Juli loved sports before he broke his legs in an accident，” she explained. There came a long silence. Then Marcia turned to Ben， grabbed his hands and smiled， “Ben， you brought laughter back to Juli’s life. You were his buddy， and a hero.”  $$
