B “Do you want to go to work with me today?” Asked my father one day when I was nine or 10years old. He had never taken me to work with him before. How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked, nor how he earned a living. He left our house every morning before we woke up and came back every night after we finished dinner. I wanted to know something about his job. So, I gave him a positive answer. My dad drove us south to the city of Newark, where he was born. There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools so that he could fix appliances, such as a washing machine. He took me to work with him a few other times over the years. I always loved going. I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son. I wish he had taken me more often. Years later, I followed his tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day. She saw me in a glassed-off conference room brainstorming with colleagues, on the phone talking with clients (客户) and—no doubt the most attractive scene of all—on my computer writing a report. With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. Today fewer and fewer kids get the same opportunity. Maybe we should make this a tradition. 41．Why did the author agree to go to work with his father for the first time? A．He wanted to earn money for himself. B．He was forced to go by his father. C．He was curious about his father’s job. D．He intended to repair their relationship. 42．What duty did the author’s father do? A．Checking systems, collecting rents, and fixing appliances. B．Working with colleagues and brainstorming ideas. C．Answering phone calls and organizing paperwork. D．Writing reports and attending meetings regularly. 43．How did the author feel after seeing his father work? A．He felt pity for his father. B．He admired his father. C．He didn’t like his father’s job. D．He questioned his father’s choice. 44．What tradition did the author follow years later with his own daughter? A．Repairing broken doors and washing machines. B．Bringing her to his workplace for a day. C．Calling the clients and writing reports. D．Taking her to visit his hometown. 45．How did the author’s experience with his dad influence him? A．It helped him build a successful career. B．It developed his great talents for business. C．It deepened his understanding of his work. D．It made him proud and follow the same tradition. C If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (大脑灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” it means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible”, he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 46．The main subject talked about in this passage is . A．science on learning a second language B．man’s ability of learning a second language C．language learning can help brain power D．language learning and math study 47．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to . A．say language is also a kind of physical labor B．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D．prove that one needs more practice when he is learning a language 48．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means . A．a researcher on language learning B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages C．a person who can speak two languages D．an active language learner 49．We may know from the scientific findings that . A．the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language C．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time 50．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that . A．learning a second language is the same as studying math B．early learning of a second language helps you in studying other subjects C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language D When it’s raining very heavily, we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms are familiar, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings? “A dog’s breakfast” is an idiom used to describe a total mess. Believe it or not, this one is thought to come from bad cooking. If a dish is cooked so badly that no person would eat it, it would be given to the dog. The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly. Interestingly, for unknown reasons “a dog’s dinner” came to mean “one who is dressed in an improper way.” People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to (追溯到) the practice of hunting with dogs. The dogs often ran after animals into trees, where their owners could easily find them. If a dog followed the wrong smell, however, they might find themselves barking at a tree that held nothing. Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days” are the hottest days of the year. The saying, however, dates back to the ancient Romans. It was the Romans who first noticed that the hottest days of the summer seemed to coincide (同时发生) with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star” and a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms and the history to go with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night. ” Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Figuring out the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them. 51．What is the purpose of the idioms in paragraph 1? A．To explain the main idea of the text. B．To bring up the topic of the text. C．To show interesting research. D．To add related examples. 52．What does the saying “A dog’s breakfast” mean nowadays? A．A messy kitchen. B．A dog’s dinner. C．An improper-dressed person. D．An unsatisfactory ending. 53．Which idiom is related to the activity of hunting? A．Dog days. B．A dog’s dinner. C．A dog’s breakfast. D．Bark up the wrong tree. 54．What can we say about “three-dog night”? A．It has a completely different meaning in Roman culture. B．It can be used to describe extremely cold temperatures. C．It presents the appearance of Sirius in summer. D．It shows people’s love for dogs. 55．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Offering some hints on learning idioms. B．Reminding us about the creativity of English. C．Showing the interesting stories behind dog-related idioms. D．Sharing the experience on keeping dogs. 第Ⅱ卷(共三节，共55分) 第一节：单词拼写，根据首字母拼写单词或者根据汉语提示写出单词的正确形式。（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分） 56．A ___________, I like acting better, but my friends go to the Ballet Club and I want to be with them. 57．It’s more than l that the thieves don’t know how much it is worth. 58．They’re very o people who often do strange things. 59．She had a great eye for color and came up with some c__________ ideas for our house. 60．You can easily guess the meaning of an unknown word through the c of the passage. 61．The crisis had a n effect on trade． 62．Please r _____ me to take my homework in case I forget it. 63．The audience hurried to the exit in panic when the a_________ sounded. 64．He was unable to (联系) Blake by radio. 65．After the exam, all the students agreed that the next question was ____ (令人困惑的). 66．The students’ actions clearly (反映) their thoughts. 67．Each June the group will meet for an （非正式的） reunion. 68．I think you have made an (错误) in calculating the total. 69．Hearing the doorbell ring, Sam went (住楼下) to answer the front door. 70．With the development of Beidou system, there have appeared new businesses ___________(基于) on navigation (导航) services. 第二节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The students of Carlton Primary School are treated to an after-school program once a week to learn how to keep healthy and get along with the community through playing sports. Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 76．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) 77．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) 78．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view?

He had never taken me to work with him before. How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked, nor how he earned a living. He left our house every morning before we woke up and came back every night after we finished dinner. I wanted to know something about his job. So, I gave him a positive answer. My dad drove us south to the city of Newark, where he was born. There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools so that he could fix appliances, such as a washing machine. He took me to work with him a few other times over the years. I always loved going. I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son. I wish he had taken me more often. Years later, I followed his tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day. She saw me in a glassed-off conference room brainstorming with colleagues, on the phone talking with clients (客户) and—no doubt the most attractive scene of all—on my computer writing a report. With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. Today fewer and fewer kids get the same opportunity.

I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day.(几年后，我遵循了他的传统。我带我的女儿卡罗琳到我的办公室待了一天)”可知，几年后，作者带着自己的女儿去他的工作场所待了一天，这是作者遵循的传统。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“I felt proud of him, proud to be his son.(我为他感到骄傲，为我是他的儿子而感到骄傲)”以及最后一段中“Maybe we should make this a tradition.(也许我们应该把这个变成一个传统)”可推知，作者对父亲工作的经历让他感到骄傲并且传承了带孩子去工作场所的传统。故选D。 C If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (大脑灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” it means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible”, he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 46．The main subject talked about in this passage is . A．science on learning a second language B．man’s ability of learning a second language C．language learning can help brain power D．language learning and math study 47．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to . A．say language is also a kind of physical labor B．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D．prove that one needs more practice when he is learning a language 48．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means . A．a researcher on language learning B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages C．a person who can speak two languages D．an active language learner 49．We may know from the scientific findings that . A．the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language C．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time 50．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that . A．learning a second language is the same as studying math B．early learning of a second language helps you in studying other subjects C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language 【答案】46．C 47．B 48．C 49．A 50．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了学习第二语言对大脑的益处。 46．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，根据第二段中“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。)”可知，此处是文章的主题，下文围绕这一主题进行深入阐述，即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”，故选C。 47．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (大脑灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变大脑灰质。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。这与锻炼肌肉的方式类似。)”可知，此处把语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作体育锻炼对强健肌肉的促进作用，也就是说语言学习对大脑有类似的作用，而该作用表现在改变大脑灰质上，故选B。 48．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“who had learnt a second language before the age of five(在五岁之前学过第二语言。)”可知，bilingual指会说两种语言的人，故选C。 49．推理判断题。根据第四段“Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is.(扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度比不懂第二语言的人要高。但是，一个人在掌握一门新语言之前等待的时间越长，差异就越小。)”可知，你越早开始学习第二语言，灰质密度就越高，故选A。 50．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible’, he said. ‘You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.’(‘掌握两种语言为你打开了两扇世界之窗，使大脑更加灵活。’他说。‘你实际上超越了语言，更好地理解了不同的想法。’)”和最后一段中“Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.(阅读、写作和理解都接受了测试。结果显示，越早开始学习，效果越好。)”可知，最后两段想要告诉我们早期学习第二语言有助于你学习其他科目，故选B。 D When it’s raining very heavily, we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms are familiar, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings? “A dog’s breakfast” is an idiom used to describe a total mess. Believe it or not, this one is thought to come from bad cooking. If a dish is cooked so badly that no person would eat it, it would be given to the dog. The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly. Interestingly, for unknown reasons “a dog’s dinner” came to mean “one who is dressed in an improper way.” People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to (追溯到) the practice of hunting with dogs. The dogs often ran after animals into trees, where their owners could easily find them. If a dog followed the wrong smell, however, they might find themselves barking at a tree that held nothing. Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days” are the hottest days of the year. The saying, however, dates back to the ancient Romans. It was the Romans who first noticed that the hottest days of the summer seemed to coincide (同时发生) with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star” and a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms and the history to go with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night. ” Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Figuring out the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them. 51．What is the purpose of the idioms in paragraph 1? A．To explain the main idea of the text. B．To bring up the topic of the text. C．To show interesting research. D．To add related examples. 52．What does the saying “A dog’s breakfast” mean nowadays? A．A messy kitchen. B．A dog’s dinner. C．An improper-dressed person. D．An unsatisfactory ending. 53．Which idiom is related to the activity of hunting? A．Dog days. B．A dog’s dinner. C．A dog’s breakfast. D．Bark up the wrong tree. 54．What can we say about “three-dog night”? A．It has a completely different meaning in Roman culture. B．It can be used to describe extremely cold temperatures. C．It presents the appearance of Sirius in summer. D．It shows people’s love for dogs. 55．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Offering some hints on learning idioms. B．Reminding us about the creativity of English. C．Showing the interesting stories behind dog-related idioms. D．Sharing the experience on keeping dogs. 【答案】51．B 52．D 53．D 54．B 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个与狗相关的英语习语及其背后的故事。 51．推理判断题。根据第一段When it’s raining very heavily, we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms are familiar, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings?(当雨下得很大时，我们说“raining cats and dogs”。你甚至可能喜欢在一年中“dog days”的炎热中休息一下。如今，许多与狗有关的习语已经司空见惯，但你有没有想过这些习语背后的故事？)”可知，本段首先举例介绍了两个我们日常生活中常用的与狗相关的习语，紧接着提出一个问题——对这些习语背后的故事我们有没有过好奇之心？这个问题起到了承上启下的作用，引出了下文对与狗相关的习语背后故事的介绍。因此，本段的作用是引出本文主题。故选B。 52．细节理解题。根据第二段“The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly.(这句习语现在被用来形容任何结局糟糕的事)”可知，“A dog’s breakfast”现在意思是结局不令人满意，故选D。 53．细节理解题。根据第三段中“People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to (追溯到) the practice of hunting with dogs.(当你用错误的方式处理某事时，人们可能会说你“找错了对象”。这个成语可以追溯到带狗打猎的习俗)”可知，习语“bark up the wrong tree”起源于人们带狗打猎的活动。故选D。 54．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night.”(一个澳大利亚成语描述了在寒冷的夜晚和狗睡在一起取暖的做法。一个非常寒冷的夜晚可能需要不止一只狗，所以这是一个“三狗之夜（一个非常寒冷的夜晚）”)”可知，习语“three-dog night”在澳大利亚文化中可以用来描述非常寒冷的夜晚。故选B。 55．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Figuring out the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them.(与狗有关的习语是许多人日常语言的一部分。弄清楚习语的故事可能很困难，但它们背后往往有丰富而有趣的历史)”可知，作者在尾段总结说明了习语背后有着有趣的故事与历史，故本文主要是展示与狗有关的习语背后的有趣故事。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷(共三节，共55分) 第一节：单词拼写，根据首字母拼写单词或者根据汉语提示写出单词的正确形式。（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分） 56．A__________, I like acting better, but my friends go to the Ballet Club and I want to be with them. 【答案】Actually 【详解】考查副词。句意：事实上，我更喜欢演戏，但我的朋友们都去芭蕾舞俱乐部，我想和他们在一起。根据句意和首字母可知，空处为副词actually，意为“事实上”，放句首作状语，修饰整个句子。故填Actually。 57．It’s more than l that the thieves don’t know how much it is worth. 【答案】likely 【详解】考查形容词。句意：很可能小偷不知道它值多少钱。It is likely that...为固定句型，意为“可能……”，用形容词likely“很可能的”作表语，故填likely。 58．They’re very o people who often do strange things. 【答案】odd 【详解】考查形容词。句意：他们是非常古怪的人，经常做奇怪的事情。根据“who often do strange things”和首字母提示可知，空处应用形容词odd，意为“古怪的”，作修饰people的定语，表示古怪的人。故填odd。 59．She had a great eye for color and came up with some c ideas for our house. 【答案】creative 【详解】考查形容词。句意：她对颜色很有眼光，为我们的房子想出了一些有创意的主意。根据句意和首字母提示可知，应填入形容词creative作定语，意为“有创意的，有想象力的”。故填creative。 60．You can easily guess the meaning of an unknown word through the c of the passage.

Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 76．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) ______________________________________________________ 77．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) _____________________________________________________ 78．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________ 79．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “stepping stone” in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________ 80．Besides sports, what activities help connect you with your community? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________ 【答案】76．She connected pupils with their community using sports./She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 77．That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/ preferred playing soccer to listening./ Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 78．Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./ Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./ Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 79．Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/Foundation/ Starting point/Initial (First) step/Springboard. 80．Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Larcombe通过体育项目助力小学生融入社区的相关事迹。 76．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports.(该项目旨在让学生通过体育运动与当地社区建立联系)”以及“She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program.(2019年，她决定加入由体育无国界组织运营的“Heart of Carlton”项目。她现在已经是这个项目的第三年志愿者了)”可知，Larcombe在2019年作为志愿者参与“Heart of Carlton”项目的使命是通过体育帮助小学生与社区建立联系。故答案为She connected pupils with their community using sports./ She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 77．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her.(Larcombe说，这对她来说是一个相当大的挑战，因为一个教室的孩子在课后可能会非常狂野，他们想去踢足球，而不是听她讲课)”可知，在参与项目时，让Larcombe感到困扰的是孩子们很狂野，不想听她讲课，而是想去踢足球。故答案为That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/preferred playing soccer to listening./Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 78．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging(运动是一个改善健康的很好的平台。人们进行体育活动，它把他们聚集在一起。这是一个很好的健康信息传播平台)”可知，在Larcombe看来，体育运动在社区中可以改善人们的健康，将人们联系在一起，并让人们分享健康信息。故答案为Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 79．考查词句猜测。根据上文“Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great(Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的)”以及后文“for people to connect with the community(人们与社区建立联系)”可知，Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的人们与社区建立联系的途径，即“垫脚石”，故stepping stone意思与“纽带，方法，途径，基础，起点，跳板”相近。故答案为Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/ Foundation/Starting point/ Initial (First) step/ Springboard. 80．考查开放性题目。题目要求回答除了运动之外，还有什么活动可以帮助你与社区建立联系，并解释原因。开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案不唯一，例如：举办图书特卖会，你可以以优惠的价格买到书，并与社区成员交朋友/参加社区服务活动，帮助他人和建立关系可以帮助我与社区建立联系。故答案为Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. 第三节：书面表达（满分25分） 81．李华进入高中后觉得学习英语的方式和初中相比有很大的不同，苦恼之余向美国笔友Tom 写信寻求建议。请你以Tom 的名义给他写一封回信。谈谈如何学习英语。内容包括： 1. 表示安慰； 2. 提出建议； 3. 表达祝愿。 要求:1.字数 100词左右 2.可以删减细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Li Hua, I am sorry to hear that you have some trouble learning English. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Tom 【答案】Dear Li Hua, I am sorry to hear that you have some trouble learning English.

B “Do you want to go to work with me today?” Asked my father one day when I was nine or 10years old. He had never taken me to work with him before. How could I have said no? I had no idea where my father worked, nor how he earned a living. He left our house every morning before we woke up and came back every night after we finished dinner. I wanted to know something about his job. So, I gave him a positive answer. My dad drove us south to the city of Newark, where he was born. There we entered a middle-class apartment building. He made the rounds doing regular duty for the next few hours with me following closely. He checked the basic systems and services. He collected rents. He carried around a case of tools so that he could fix appliances, such as a washing machine. He took me to work with him a few other times over the years. I always loved going. I got to see him in action, doing his job among other people, out in the wider world and looking important, even heroic. I felt proud of him, proud to be his son. I wish he had taken me more often. Years later, I followed his tradition. I took my daughter Caroline with me to my office for a day. She saw me in a glassed-off conference room brainstorming with colleagues, on the phone talking with clients (客户) and—no doubt the most attractive scene of all—on my computer writing a report. With any luck, my daughter felt the same pride I had felt with my own father. Today fewer and fewer kids get the same opportunity. Maybe we should make this a tradition. 41．Why did the author agree to go to work with his father for the first time? A．He wanted to earn money for himself. B．He was forced to go by his father.

C If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (大脑灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” it means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible”, he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists. 46．The main subject talked about in this passage is . A．science on learning a second language B．man’s ability of learning a second language C．language learning can help brain power D．language learning and math study 47．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to . A．say language is also a kind of physical labor B．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D．prove that one needs more practice when he is learning a language 48．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means . A．a researcher on language learning B．a person who is good at learning foreign languages C．a person who can speak two languages D．an active language learner 49．We may know from the scientific findings that . A．the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language C．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time 50．In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that . A．learning a second language is the same as studying math B．early learning of a second language helps you in studying other subjects C．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language D When it’s raining very heavily, we say it’s “raining cats and dogs.” You might even enjoy taking a break from the heat during the “dog days” of the year. Today, many dog-related idioms are familiar, but have you ever wondered about the stories behind the sayings? “A dog’s breakfast” is an idiom used to describe a total mess. Believe it or not, this one is thought to come from bad cooking. If a dish is cooked so badly that no person would eat it, it would be given to the dog. The saying is now used to describe anything that ends poorly. Interestingly, for unknown reasons “a dog’s dinner” came to mean “one who is dressed in an improper way.” People may say that you are “barking (吠) up the wrong tree” when you are dealing with something in the wrong way. This idiom dates back to (追溯到) the practice of hunting with dogs. The dogs often ran after animals into trees, where their owners could easily find them. If a dog followed the wrong smell, however, they might find themselves barking at a tree that held nothing. Many people even describe the weather by using the image of dogs. The “dog days” are the hottest days of the year. The saying, however, dates back to the ancient Romans. It was the Romans who first noticed that the hottest days of the summer seemed to coincide (同时发生) with the appearance of Sirius, the so-called “dog star” and a part of the Canis Major (“big dog”) constellation (星座). But even the coldest nights have interesting idioms and the history to go with them. One Australian idiom describes the practice of sleeping alongside a dog for warmth during cold evenings. A very cold night might need more than one dog, so it is a “three-dog night. ” Dog-related idioms are a part of many people’s everyday language. Figuring out the stories of idioms can be difficult, but they often have a rich and interesting history behind them. 51．What is the purpose of the idioms in paragraph 1? A．To explain the main idea of the text. B．To bring up the topic of the text. C．To show interesting research. D．To add related examples. 52．What does the saying “A dog’s breakfast” mean nowadays? A．A messy kitchen. B．A dog’s dinner. C．An improper-dressed person. D．An unsatisfactory ending. 53．Which idiom is related to the activity of hunting? A．Dog days. B．A dog’s dinner. C．A dog’s breakfast. D．Bark up the wrong tree. 54．What can we say about “three-dog night”? A．It has a completely different meaning in Roman culture. B．It can be used to describe extremely cold temperatures. C．It presents the appearance of Sirius in summer. D．It shows people’s love for dogs. 55．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Offering some hints on learning idioms. B．Reminding us about the creativity of English. C．Showing the interesting stories behind dog-related idioms. D．Sharing the experience on keeping dogs. 第Ⅱ卷(共三节，共55分) 第一节：单词拼写，根据首字母拼写单词或者根据汉语提示写出单词的正确形式。（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分） 56．A ___________, I like acting better, but my friends go to the Ballet Club and I want to be with them. 57．It’s more than l that the thieves don’t know how much it is worth. 58．They’re very o people who often do strange things. 59．She had a great eye for color and came up with some c__________ ideas for our house. 60．You can easily guess the meaning of an unknown word through the c of the passage. 61．The crisis had a n effect on trade． 62．Please r _____ me to take my homework in case I forget it. 63．The audience hurried to the exit in panic when the a_________ sounded. 64．He was unable to (联系) Blake by radio. 65．After the exam, all the students agreed that the next question was ____ (令人困惑的). 66．The students’ actions clearly (反映) their thoughts. 67．Each June the group will meet for an （非正式的） reunion. 68．I think you have made an (错误) in calculating the total. 69．Hearing the doorbell ring, Sam went (住楼下) to answer the front door. 70．With the development of Beidou system, there have appeared new businesses ___________(基于) on navigation (导航) services. 第二节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The students of Carlton Primary School are treated to an after-school program once a week to learn how to keep healthy and get along with the community through playing sports. Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 76．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019?
