The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay at home just because of rain. Around 8:00 am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5—6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle. “Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers(车灯). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was still pouring. My best decision of the day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter(躲避处). Before long, a tow truck happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed my car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car and drove me home. After he had dropped my car off, he also helped me check the engine.

Born in Italy in 1870, Montessori became the first woman doctor in her country after she graduated from medical school in 1896. Later, working with poor children, she set up a “Children’s house” in Rome in 1907.The rooms were bright and colorful. This was the place where she developed the Montessori Method, which was formed during 1908-1913. Maria thought that children must be free to learn without being criticized (批评) or limited. She let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed, not the rest of the class or the teacher. As a result, children enjoy learning and this gives them confidence and makes them happy. The Montessori Method also teaches children skills to help them become independent. Very young children learn to dress themselves, to cook and to put their toys and clothes away. It’s a way of teaching which encourages children to learn by doing and experimenting. Children are encouraged to repeat activities as often as they wish, and they develop their observation (观察) skills by doing different activities. In addition, the Montessori Method thinks that teacher is a guide, not a leader of the classroom, helping to open students’ eyes to wonder around them. A typical room in a Montessori school has many things children can use. The furniture is light so they can arrange it as they wish. Because the environment offers many activities, children like to work together and they develop a social life based on cooperation (合作) rather than competition. Maria Montessori travelled around the world to train teachers to use her method. In 1950, she received the World Peace Education Badges. 33. How old was Montessori when she became a doctor? A. 24. B. 25. C. 26. D. 27. 34. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Italy. B. A children’s house. C. Medical school. D. Montessori Method. 35. Which of the following is NOT the idea of the Montessori Method? A. The teacher is not a leader but a guide. B. Make children repeat the same activity every day. C. Help children become more independent. D. Encourage children to learn by themselves. 36. According to the passage, what’s the correct order of the following statements? a.The Montessori Method was formed. b.Maria Montessori was born in Italy. c.Maria Montessori set up a “children’s house” in Rome. d.Maria Montessori graduated from a medical school. e.Maria Montessori received the World Peace Education Badges.

Actually, diet drinks aren't quite as healthy as you might think. The company of Genki Forest recently apologized for a misleading advertisement. It explained that the drinks were only “sucrose-free”（零蔗糖）, but this was not the same as “sugar-free”. The old advertisement of “sugar-free” is probably to trick people into enjoying the drink without worrying about any kind of sugar at all. Now the company has changed the words “sugar-free” to “low sugar” on the bottles. In fact, there are many kinds of sugar. Sucrose is just one of them. Other kinds of sugar are still in Genki Forest drinks. These types of sugar offer little energy, but a small amount of it can make drinks taste sweet. But why can't we stop eating sugar? The reason is simple -- sugar just tastes good. Sweet is the first taste that people start to enjoy after birth. Since we like it so much, our brains start to want more of it. The taste of sugar also gives out chemicals that relax us. That's why diet drinks like Genki Forest are popular with people who want to lose weight without giving up sweet taste. They believe that they can not only enjoy sweet drinks, but also avoid taking in too much energy. However, studies find that the sweetness might make people eat more. When you have sweet-tasting food, it sends your brain a “sweet signal”. Then your brain tells your body to prepare itself to take in energy. But since the diet soft drink has little energy, the brain will not receive what it is waiting for. At this time, you will feel hungry and start getting energy by eating more food. According to China Daily, drinking too many diet drinks might lead to overweight or some diseases. It’s time for you to think twice about diet drinks. 37. Why was the Genki Forest drink advertised as “sugar-free”? A. Because it is a healthy diet drink. B. Because “sucrose-free” means “no sugar”. C. Because the company wanted to attract people to enjoy it with no worries. D. Because the company put the words “sugar-free” on the bottles by mistake. 38. What can we know about sugar from the passage? A. Sucrose is the most popular kind of sugar. B. Every kind of sugar provides a lot of energy. C. It takes a lot of sugar to make drinks sweet. D. The taste of sugar can make us feel relaxed. 39. What does the underlined word “itself” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. Your brain. B. Your body. C. The diet soft drink. D. The sweet-tasting food. 40. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To explain diet drinks are not healthy. B. To introduce different kinds of sugar. C. To tell why people can't give up sugar. D. To show practical ways to avoid sugar. 7 第二节 阅读填空（共 5小题；每小题 1分，满分 5分） 阅读短文及文后的 A〜E选项，选出可以填入 41〜45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。 COVID-19 out broke in 2020.
