Looking through Facebook on my phone, I saw a post on a community page about a sheep farmer who was giving away a newborn lamb (羊羔) that had been rejected (拒绝) by its mother.
“We could have a lamb!” I said to my husband, Mike, an animal lover. “Where would we keep it?” Mike laughed, pointing out we lived on a suburban (郊区的) block. It was July 2020 and, while I’d been joking, the thought of having a little lamb to look after started to grow on me. Over the next month, the farmer showed more lambs. Each time people claimed (要求拥有) them in minutes.
In mid-August, I saw a post about another newborn. Without stopping to think, I replied. “I’ll take it!” I said. Later, I walked through our door carrying a tiny, dirty lamb I’d named Puck. “What have you done?” Mike asked, dumbfounded. I’d also picked up powdered (粉状的) lamb milk and bottles.
Mike turned our bathroom into a lamb nursery. For the next three months, I bottle-fed Puck every three to four hours, and he followed me everywhere. Even on days when I was in so much pain and didn’t want to get out of bed, knowing Puck needed me encouraged me to get up. At the age of nine, I was diagnosed (诊断) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and by the time I was 20 it affected all my joints (关节). Mike and Puck became best friends too, and I’d often look out our window and see them with our dogs playing basketball in the yard.
Spending time with Puck has helped me stay positive through a joint replacement (关节置换手术) last August. I may be saving Puck’s life, but Puck helping to save me too.
41. How did the community post affect the author?
A. She decided to run a farm. B. She met her future husband.
C. She learned new farming skills. D. She got the idea of raising a lamb.
42. What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Angry. B. Surprised. C. Scared. D. Tired.
43. Where did the author keep Puck?
A. In the bedroom. B. In the yard.
C. In the living room. D. In the bathroom.
44. What do we know about Mike?
A. He really accepted Puck. B. He suffered a lot from JIA.
C. He was good at feeding animals. D. He inspired the author to keep Puck.
45. In what way is Puck important to the author?

C. It gave her emotional support. D. It reminded her of home.

The first results of a groundbreaking (开创性的) music project working with deaf children in Dundee will be announced (宣布) next week with the aim of rolling it out across Scotland in the future.
In a project developed through his ongoing partnership with the National Youth Choir (合唱团) of Scotland (NYCOS), musician and educator Paul Whittaker has been spending time since February with groups of deaf and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children at three Dundee primary schools — Claypotts, Craigiebarns and Tayview — as well as with pupils from a handful of other schools in the area.
“What we wanted to do was find out whether deaf children can sing, and how well they can pick up pitch (高音),” said Mr Whittaker. “What we’re doing on Monday is presenting some of the work that we have been doing.”
What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ‘Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids (助听器). I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”
Given time and funding (资金) problems, the project hasn’t achieved everything it set out to achieve. “But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker.
To date, there has been little research done into the connection between deafness, singing and signing. Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.
46. What makes the music project special?
A. It aims to train world-famous musicians.
B. It introduces new approaches to improve hearing.
C. It teams up with primary schools across Scotland.
D. It focuses on supporting students with hearing problems.
47. What part does Whittaker play in the project?
A. He is a health educator. B. He is a peacekeeper.
C. He is a role model. D. He is a caregiver.
48. In what way is Whittaker happy about the project?
A. It has achieved all of its goals.
B. It enjoys plentiful funding support.
C. It has received international recognition.
D. It sees the students’ impressive learning abilities.
49. What is the expectation for the project in the future?
A. To cooperate with the government.
B. To make it available in more places of Scotland.
C. To seek for more funding for better development.
D. To figure out the connection between deafness and singing.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. A pioneering project by a deaf musician.
B A large project for unlocking musical talents.
C. A national project to teach music to children.
D. A unique project studying the impact of music.

A dad is winning hearts after he shared interviews with his daughter from kindergarten(幼儿园) all the way up to her first day as a high school senior.
Last week, Kevin Scruggs posted the touching video compilation (汇编) of his youngest, Madison, 18, on the Internet where it went viral. The video has been viewed over 60,000 times since it was posted.
“I thought it would be cool when they graduate for them to see their whole career(生涯)in one video,” Scruggs said, adding that he made a similar video for his eldest daughter, 20-year-old Mackenzie. “I wanted to have something to remember. That is the reason why I made the video.”
“Did you like kindergarten?” Scruggs can be heard asking Madison in the video. “Do you want to go back?”
“Every day,” she replies as she happily heads home.
The video continues with Madison sharing classroom stories, what she did during lunchtime, what she kept in her locker and how she was excited about entering high school. Scruggs ended up each year telling Madison he loves her to which she replies, “Love you too!”
Madison said that she enjoyed seeing herself grow up in the video. “It was also cool to see my personality change,” Madison said. “I’m really thankful for how much time my dad puts into it, how much he loves us and how much he and my mom do for us.”
“I’m glad to be her dad and I’m glad people get to see the joy that’s in her life,” Scruggs said.

13. Due to the traffic jam, I arrived at the airport too late. The plane ________ when I got there.
A. leaves B. left C. has left D. had left
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:由于交通堵塞,我到机场太晚了。我到那里时飞机已经起飞了。根据got可知,从句使用一般过去时表示过去的动作,结合语意,leave这一动作发生在I got there之前,即“过去的过去”,所以主句应用过去完成时,即had left。故选D。

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:所有变化的原因都向委员会成员解释了。句子陈述过去的一般事实,且reason和explain之间为被动关系,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态,The reason为单数,be动词用was。故选D。

Looking through Facebook on my phone, I saw a post on a community page about a sheep farmer who was giving away a newborn lamb (羊羔) that had been rejected (拒绝) by its mother.
“We could have a lamb!” I said to my husband, Mike, an animal lover. “Where would we keep it?” Mike laughed, pointing out we lived on a suburban (郊区的) block. It was July 2020 and, while I’d been joking, the thought of having a little lamb to look after started to grow on me. Over the next month, the farmer showed more lambs. Each time people claimed (要求拥有) them in minutes.
In mid-August, I saw a post about another newborn. Without stopping to think, I replied. “I’ll take it!” I said. Later, I walked through our door carrying a tiny, dirty lamb I’d named Puck. “What have you done?” Mike asked, dumbfounded. I’d also picked up powdered (粉状的) lamb milk and bottles.
Mike turned our bathroom into a lamb nursery. For the next three months, I bottle-fed Puck every three to four hours, and he followed me everywhere. Even on days when I was in so much pain and didn’t want to get out of bed, knowing Puck needed me encouraged me to get up. At the age of nine, I was diagnosed (诊断) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and by the time I was 20 it affected all my joints (关节). Mike and Puck became best friends too, and I’d often look out our window and see them with our dogs playing basketball in the yard.
Spending time with Puck has helped me stay positive through a joint replacement (关节置换手术) last August. I may be saving Puck’s life, but Puck helping to save me too.
41. How did the community post affect the author?

C. She learned new farming skills. D. She got the idea of raising a lamb.

44. What do we know about Mike?

The first results of a groundbreaking (开创性的) music project working with deaf children in Dundee will be announced (宣布) next week with the aim of rolling it out across Scotland in the future.
In a project developed through his ongoing partnership with the National Youth Choir (合唱团) of Scotland (NYCOS), musician and educator Paul Whittaker has been spending time since February with groups of deaf and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children at three Dundee primary schools — Claypotts, Craigiebarns and Tayview — as well as with pupils from a handful of other schools in the area.
“What we wanted to do was find out whether deaf children can sing, and how well they can pick up pitch (高音),” said Mr Whittaker. “What we’re doing on Monday is presenting some of the work that we have been doing.”
What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ‘Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids (助听器). I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”
Given time and funding (资金) problems, the project hasn’t achieved everything it set out to achieve. “But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker.
To date, there has been little research done into the connection between deafness, singing and signing. Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.
46. What makes the music project special?
A. It aims to train world-famous musicians.
B. It introduces new approaches to improve hearing.
C. It teams up with primary schools across Scotland.
D. It focuses on supporting students with hearing problems.
47. What part does Whittaker play in the project?
A. He is a health educator. B. He is a peacekeeper.
C. He is a role model. D. He is a caregiver.
48. In what way is Whittaker happy about the project?
A. It has achieved all of its goals.
B. It enjoys plentiful funding support.
C. It has received international recognition.
D. It sees the students’ impressive learning abilities.
49. What is the expectation for the project in the future?
A. To cooperate with the government.
B. To make it available in more places of Scotland.
C. To seek for more funding for better development.
D. To figure out the connection between deafness and singing.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. A pioneering project by a deaf musician.
B. A large project for unlocking musical talents.
C. A national project to teach music to children.
D. A unique project studying the impact of music.

A dad is winning hearts after he shared interviews with his daughter from kindergarten(幼儿园) all the way up to her first day as a high school senior.
Last week, Kevin Scruggs posted the touching video compilation (汇编) of his youngest, Madison, 18, on the Internet where it went viral. The video has been viewed over 60,000 times since it was posted.
“I thought it would be cool when they graduate for them to see their whole career(生涯)in one video,” Scruggs said, adding that he made a similar video for his eldest daughter, 20-year-old Mackenzie. “I wanted to have something to remember. That is the reason why I made the video.”
“Did you like kindergarten?” Scruggs can be heard asking Madison in the video. “Do you want to go back?”
“Every day,” she replies as she happily heads home.
The video continues with Madison sharing classroom stories, what she did during lunchtime, what she kept in her locker and how she was excited about entering high school. Scruggs ended up each year telling Madison he loves her to which she replies, “Love you too!”
Madison said that she enjoyed seeing herself grow up in the video. “It was also cool to see my personality change,” Madison said. “I’m really thankful for how much time my dad puts into it, how much he loves us and how much he and my mom do for us.”
“I’m glad to be her dad and I’m glad people get to see the joy that’s in her life,” Scruggs said.
