B When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a little sense of what kind of person he or she is by the way he or she shakes hands, talks, or walks. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions (印象) are sometimes made even before we meet someone in person — that is, by looking at their profile photos (头像). According to a recent study, these profile photos say a lot about people’s personality (个性). For example, outgoing people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photos because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. However, neurotic (神经质的) people often hold back their bad feelings. They try to avoid showing their faces. So they often use something like a pet, a car or a building. “The colors used in them also give us some information about the photos’ owners. For example, outgoing people were found to have the most colorful profile photos, as they want to show themselves off.” the researchers wrote. “Although social media photos usually mean an extension (延伸) of oneself, they also allow a user to show his or her own personality and how perfect they can be,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of photo we’d like to show. After all, first impressions always last. 28．If Steve is outgoing, which profile photo would he like to choose? A． B． C． D． 29．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Outgoing people. B．Neurotic people. C．Social media photos. D．The researchers. 30．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The first impression will last forever. B．Outgoing people are different from neurotic ones. C．We should be careful when we use the profile photos. D．Our profile photo shows what kind of persons we are. C As a mountain, l 642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t that amazing. But its views attract many hikers (远足者). Henry Grant, a student at Ithaca College, was one of them. While waiting for his mother one day in August 2019, Henry watched other hikers enjoy the views. One hiker, dressed in pink, was looking over the cliff (悬崖) with her husband. When Henry’s mother rejoined him, the two continued on their way. Suddenly, he heard something. “Paula! Paula!” a man shouted crazily. Henry turned around quickly. Several hikers started looking for her, but their view was screened (遮蔽) by trees. Henry and his mother headed down the path. But when he saw some hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After telling his mother that he would be safe, he went on alone. After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping (滑) down loose earth. Henry found the woman had fallen about 75 feet, Luckily, she was alive. “Paula! Paula!” Henry shouted. The woman didn’t reply. She was badly hurt. Henry called the police. Afraid that she might fall off the rock, Henry climbed up a tight (陡的), narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula. Paula was almost senseless. Henry gently put her hand in his, trying to keep her mind off the pain (疼痛) by keeping asking her questions: “Where are you from? Do you have kids?” Soon, they were joined on their perch (歇脚处) by another hiker named Simon. About 45 minutes later, rescuers (救援者) arrived. Paula and her husband were flown to a hospital. Paula, who has fully recovered (康复), said, “Henry has already taken part in building the rest of my life.” 31．Which sentence should go in “________” in Paragraph 3? A．He ran as fast as possible to save Paula. B．His mother turned around at the same time. C．The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. D．Other hikers were scared (惊) by the terrible shout. 32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Henry had no difficulty in reaching Paula. B．Simon and Henry’s mother joined in saving Paula. C．Paula and her husband were both badly hurt and saved. D．Henry asked Paula questions to keep her mind off the pain. 33．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A Perfect Trip B．A Terrible Accident C．A Great Rescue D．An Amazing Mountain D Does life sometimes seem to be full of problems? How many times do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem,” or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to to an amazing word—yet. With this word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.”, “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. I once read about a school. After finding the old Pass/Fail system wasn’t helping students grow,the school tried a new way to mark students’ tests. Now students don’t see a big red F for Fail on their test paper if they don’t pass it. They see a “Not yet”. In this way, students feel that they are on a journey to become a better self. The test is not the end. ①This kind of thinking is part of what we call “a growth mindset (成长思维)”. People with a growth mindset don’t keep their eyes on what they can’t do. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying till they do. They are not afraid of trouble and believe they can change for the better. ② ③While other people have “a fixed mindset (固定思维)”. These people often keep their eyes on what they fail to do. They are always worried about not getting things right the first time and are ready to give up when things seem to go wrong. They don’t think they are able to change. ④ But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can learn to have a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t. Believe that you just can’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll find how powerful the small word is. 34．How does the writer lead to the topic? _______ A．By telling stories. B．By giving facts. C．By asking questions. D．By showing results. 35．What can we learn from the passage? _______ A．Students can have a growth mindset by practising questioning. B．People with a growth mindset may say “It isn’t good enough.” C．Students feel they become a better self when going on a journey. D．People with a fixed mindset may say “Mistakes help me learn better.” 36．The following sentence should be put in ______. “Clear, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.” A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 37．The writer writes this passage to _______. A．advise thinking in a hopeful way B．advise changing others’ mindsets C．introduce how to use the word “yet” D．introduce what different mindsets are like 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38．I used to stay up late, but I gave up a (几个) of months ago. 39．My sister bought me some (极好的) presents when she was in London. 40．I will have an (采访) with the superstar this weekend. 41.

Then suddenly he found the old gardener wasn’t able to see. The painter asked in surprise, “Why are you busy looking after these flowers which you can’t see?” The gardener smiled and answered, “I can tell you the reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s you.” “Me? But you don’t know me.” “It’s true that I don’t know you. I know many people who show love for life would stop by and the beauty of my garden will get them into a good feeling. At the same time, it also gives me a chance to have a word with you here, and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.” The gardener doesn’t only grow flowers in the garden but also in his heart. Although he couldn’t see the beauty of blooming, he surely can hear the voice of it. 58．Was the gardener able to see? 59．Why did the young painter stop? 60．How many reasons did the gardener give? 61．What did the beauty of the old man’s garden get people into? 62．How do you like the gardener? 七、作文（20分） 63. 某英文报举办“家乡的变化”主题征文活动。请根据下表提示，以“The Changes in My Hometown”为题，用英语写一篇短文。 过去 生活贫困（live a poor life），房屋小而破旧。 污染严重，到处是垃圾。 道路脏且狭窄，上班靠步行和自行车。 现在 污染减少，环境变得很漂亮。 道路宽敞干净，许多人有自己的汽车上下班； 每年有成千上万来自各地的游客来参观。 将来 希望…… 注意： 1. 语句通顺，条理清晰，适当发挥，书写规范； 2. 词数100左右，文中不得出现真实姓名、校名和地名等； 3. 内容必须包括表格中的要点，需适当发挥。 The Changes in My Hometown In the past, my hometown was very small, _________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
