The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc. Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system： ◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins. ◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing areas： Blue bin — for paper and cardboard Green and white bin — for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights Yellow/orange bin — for plastic and metals Brown bin — for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables Gray/black bin — for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste ◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agent/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold. ◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified (有资历的) shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits (押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations. 21. Which bin should the fallen leaves be classified into？ A. The blue bin. B. The brown bin. C. The grey/black bin. D. The green and white bin. 22. How can Germans deal with some used sneakers？ A. By returning it to special agents. B. By placing it in a specific location. C. By giving it away to those in need. D. By donating it to a Pfandruckgabestelle. 23. What is the aim of Pfand？ A. To collect money for some shops. B. To help shops reuse plastic or glass. C. To reduce the broken bottles. D. To encourage bottles to be returned. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国是如何进行垃圾分类和回收的。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Brown bin”部分关键句“for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables”（对于那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，如吃剩的食物、水果和蔬菜）可知，棕色垃圾桶用来回收那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，落叶可以被细菌可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，从而推知，落叶应被归入棕色垃圾桶。故选B项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.”（建议捐赠或出售衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等其他物品。）可知，在德国，建议将衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等物品捐赠或出售，从而推知，德国人可能会把二手运动鞋捐赠给那些有需要的人。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops.”（在德国有一种叫做Pfand的东西，它是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把瓶子送回经过认证的商店，你会得到它。）可知，Pfand是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把饮料瓶子送回经过认证的商店，就会得到这部分钱，这是一种鼓励消费者退回瓶子的方法，由此可推断出，Pfand的功能是鼓励消费者退回瓶子。故选D项。 B Honored for his generosity and selfless deeds, Lei Feng, an ordinary Chinese soldier with an extraordinary soul, has been a hero symbolizing altruism (利他主义). And across China, many foreign volunteers have warmed the hearts of Chinese people with their selfless commitment to social welfare, and are warmly called “Yang Lei Feng,” or foreign Lei Feng by locals. In addition to his primary role as an English teacher at a vocational (职业的) school in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, Peter Stanleigh, a Canadian, is also a Santa to homeless children, a guide, and an environmentalist. He has selflessly served various roles while leading a foreign volunteer team. Having settled in Wuxi since 2001, Stanleigh is much better known by his Chinese name — Tang Lei. As the first foreign volunteer registered in Wuxi, he poured the majority of his spare time and energy into social welfare. “Lei Feng is a hero of volunteerism. So I long to pass on to other people the spirit of volunteering. I have been honored with the name Yang Lei Feng, something I carry nobly,” said Stanleigh. Over the past two decades, Stanleigh has continuously expanded his public welfare efforts. In addition to volunteering in the English corner every week, he and his wife also make appearances at nursing and welfare homes, crowded cross ways and scenic spots — just like Lei Feng, who compared himself to a small yet indispensable part inside a machine while wholeheartedly serving the people. Stanleigh’s volunteer service time registered in Wuxi has now gone beyond 5,000 hours. “I think that a person is judged not by what he does but by what he does for others. My life is better because someone else’s life is better,” he said. The Lei Feng spirit, a noble moral strength towering geographic limitations, is perfectly demonstrated in the deeds of countless foreign volunteers like Stanleigh throughout China. 24. What do we know about Peter Stanleigh? A. He is the first registered volunteer in Wuxi. B. He takes pride in the name “Yang Lei Feng”. C. He works at the same place as Lei Feng. D. He has established a vocational school. 25. What does the underlined word “indispensable” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Ordinary. B. Worthless. C. Replaceable. D. Essential. 26. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Personal achievements define one’s value. B. True worth comes from helping others. C. Volunteer work should be financially rewarded. D. Geographic barriers limit moral actions. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Lei Feng Spirit: An Invaluable Virtue in China B. Volunteerism: A Modern Trend in China C. Lei Feng: Serving People Wholeheartedly D. Peter Stanleigh: Spreading the Lei Feng Spirit 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加拿大志愿者Peter Stanleigh在中国无锡传播雷锋精神的故事，他通过自己的无私奉献，成为了当地人心中的“洋雷锋”。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As the first foreign volunteer registered in Wuxi, he poured the majority of his spare time and energy into social welfare. “Lei Feng is a hero of volunteerism. So I long to pass on to other people the spirit of volunteering. I have been honored with the name Yang Lei Feng, something I carry nobly,” said Stanleigh. (作为无锡第一位注册的外国志愿者，他把大部分业余时间和精力都投入到了社会福利事业中。“雷锋是志愿主义的英雄。所以我渴望把志愿精神传递给其他人。我很荣幸被称为‘洋雷锋’，这是我引以为豪的称号。”Stanleigh说。)”可知，Peter Stanleigh以“洋雷锋”这个名字为荣。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Stanleigh has continuously expanded his public welfare efforts. In addition to volunteering in the English corner every week, he and his wife also make appearances at nursing and welfare homes, crowded cross ways and scenic spots — just like Lei Feng, who compared himself to a small yet (Stanleigh不断拓展自己的公益事业。除了每周在英语角做志愿者外，他和妻子还会出现在养老院、福利院、拥挤的十字路口和风景名胜区 —— 就像雷锋一样，他把自己比作一个小而……”)以及后文“part inside a machine while wholeheartedly serving the people (在机器内部全心全意为人民服务的……部分)”可知，Stanleigh不断拓展自己的公益事业，全心全意为人民服务，就像雷锋一样，把自己比作机器内部虽小但不可或缺的一部分，由此可知，划线词的意思与“必不可少的”意义相近。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I think that a person is judged not by what he does but by what he does for others. My life is better because someone else’s life is better,” he said. (“我认为评价一个人不是看他做了什么，而是看他为别人做了什么。我的生活变得更好，是因为别人的生活变得更好。”他说。)”可推知，真正的价值来自于帮助他人。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了加拿大志愿者Peter Stanleigh在中国无锡传播雷锋精神的故事，他通过自己的无私奉献，成为了当地人心中的“洋雷锋”，D项“Peter Stanleigh: Spreading the Lei Feng Spirit(Peter Stanleigh：传播雷锋精神)”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March. many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic. Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March. major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data. In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams. China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic. “If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 28. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19? A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off. C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined. 29. Why did some US companies cut download speeds? A. To increase Internet strength. B. To improve picture qualities. C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users. 30. Compared with other countries. China's Internet system_________. A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster C. cost less money D. started earlier 31. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了COVID-19时期人们大量的工作、学习、活动转为线上进行而导致的“网络拥堵”现象，并着重说明中国互联网基础设施的发展成功应对了这一挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem.”可知，随着更多的人涌入网络，“网络交通”成为了一个巨大的问题，而对于这个具体的问题，可以在原文第三段中找到线索“This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”相关公司采取措施是为了降低网络的“交通拥堵”，故A选项“网络交通出现拥堵”符合原文，而干扰项B称“互联网接入被切断”不符合原文，其程度过于严重，故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”可知，这些视频流服务降低了画面质量和下载速度，这样做是为了降低网络拥堵程度，防止其完全宕机，彻底崩溃，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well.”可知，中国的互联网很快就恢复了正常使用，B选项“更快恢复”符合原文，故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。本题是对于观点态度的判断，根据原文最后一段其所说的话“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly”可知，“如果在互联网领域没有这样的发展，人们很难在家就享受到这么多彩的生活，在线的工作和教学从未像现在这样如此流畅地实现。”据此推断，他对中国互联网发展持积极的态度，故选D项（positive）。 D Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics (道德准则). In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. This was done with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA. Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she’s alive and well. And in the USA last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies. Some people hope that in the future, diseases or birth defects could simply be "edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News. In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. “Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director at Stanford University, USA, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, this embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.” So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now. 32. The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. record B. change C. remove D. increase 33. What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing? A. A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists. B. A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells. C. HIV cells were removed from patients9 bodies. D. Some birth defects were simply edited out. 34. Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards? A. They don’t think it is an effective way to fight diseases. B. They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations. C. They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality. D. They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects. 35. What can we conclude from the text? A. Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects. B. There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes. C. Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future. D. Scientists are pessimistic (悲观的) about the future of gene editing. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们多年来一直试图找出如何改变人类的基因，来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，虽然这看起来是科学上的一大进步，但也有人认为，在伦理上，这是倒退了一步。我们对人类基因的了解，还需要不断探索。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. (据英国《卫报》报道，今年8月，一组来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，并移除了一个可能导致心脏病的基因突变)”可知，科学家可以编辑并改变人类胚胎基因。再根据本段划线句子“Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. (科学家们多年来一直试图找出如何alter人类的基因，看来他们终于破解了密码)”可知，科学家一直试图“改变”人类的基因，终于破解了密码，在人类胚胎基因上取得突破，由此可知划线词词义 为“改变”。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. (据英国《卫报》报道，今年8月，一组来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，并移除了一个可能导致心脏病的基因突变)”以及第二段中“Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. (尽管这是胚胎基因成功改变的第一个例子，但基因编辑的优势已经在活体患者身上得到了检验)”可知，人类胚胎基因编辑的第一个成功例子是一个与心脏病有关的基因突变被科学家们移除了。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News. (不过，也有人认为，这可能导致所谓的“设计师婴儿”，让父母可以选择从眼睛颜色到智力等一切东西。旧金山基因研究中心主任Marcy Camovsky对英国广播公司（BBC）说：“你可能会发现有钱的父母为他们的孩子购买最新的‘升级版’，导致了比我们现在所承受的更大的不平等”)”可知，有些人认为人类基因编辑是一种倒退，是他们认为这可能会导致“设计师婴儿”，加剧社会不平等性。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. (尽管科学家们已经取得了进步，但我们对人类基因的了解还不足以让所有未出生的孩子拥有强大的智力或惊人的歌唱能力) ”以及最后一段“So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now. (所以看来，如果我们想取得好的考试成绩，或者想用我们的钢琴技巧给人们留下深刻的印象，我们就必须坚持用传统的方法，至少现在是这样) ”可知，我们对基因的了解是不充分的，还不足以帮助达到我们想要的效果，也就是要完全了解人类基因还有很长的路要走，故选B。 第二节（共5小题 满分12.5分） How to Stay Positive around Negative People A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这个成语经常用来形容人们在浪费了三次机会后失败的情况。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为限制性定语从句，先行词为“situations”，在从句中作地点状语，故应用关系副词“where”引导从句。故填where。 85. Liu Xiang became the first Asian ________ (win) the gold medal in the men’s hurdles. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to win 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：刘翔成为首位在男子跨栏项目中赢得金牌的亚洲人。根据空前的“the first Asian”可知，此处为“the+序数词+名词+to do sth.”，表示“第几个做某事的人”，所以空处需用动词不定式to win作后置定语。故填to win。 第四节 续写（20分） 86. 阅读下而材料，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。 As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc. Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system： ◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins. ◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing areas： Blue bin — for paper and cardboard Green and white bin — for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights Yellow/orange bin — for plastic and metals Brown bin — for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables Gray/black bin — for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste ◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agent/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold. ◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified (有资历的) shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits (押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations. 21. Which bin should the fallen leaves be classified into？ A. The blue bin. B. The brown bin. C. The grey/black bin. D. The green and white bin. 22. How can Germans deal with some used sneakers？ A. By returning it to special agents. B. By placing it in a specific location. C. By giving it away to those in need. D. By donating it to a Pfandruckgabestelle. 23. What is the aim of Pfand？ A. To collect money for some shops. B. To help shops reuse plastic or glass. C. To reduce the broken bottles. D. To encourage bottles to be returned. B Honored for his generosity and selfless deeds, Lei Feng, an ordinary Chinese soldier with an extraordinary soul, has been a hero symbolizing altruism (利他主义). And across China, many foreign volunteers have warmed the hearts of Chinese people with their selfless commitment to social welfare, and are warmly called “Yang Lei Feng,” or foreign Lei Feng by locals. In addition to his primary role as an English teacher at a vocational (职业的) school in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, Peter Stanleigh, a Canadian, is also a Santa to homeless children, a guide, and an environmentalist. He has selflessly served various roles while leading a foreign volunteer team. Having settled in Wuxi since 2001, Stanleigh is much better known by his Chinese name — Tang Lei. As the first foreign volunteer registered in Wuxi, he poured the majority of his spare time and energy into social welfare. “Lei Feng is a hero of volunteerism. So I long to pass on to other people the spirit of volunteering. I have been honored with the name Yang Lei Feng, something I carry nobly,” said Stanleigh. Over the past two decades, Stanleigh has continuously expanded his public welfare efforts. In addition to volunteering in the English corner every week, he and his wife also make appearances at nursing and welfare homes, crowded cross ways and scenic spots — just like Lei Feng, who compared himself to a small yet indispensable part inside a machine while wholeheartedly serving the people. Stanleigh’s volunteer service time registered in Wuxi has now gone beyond 5,000 hours. “I think that a person is judged not by what he does but by what he does for others. My life is better because someone else’s life is better,” he said. The Lei Feng spirit, a noble moral strength towering geographic limitations, is perfectly demonstrated in the deeds of countless foreign volunteers like Stanleigh throughout China. 24. What do we know about Peter Stanleigh? A. He is the first registered volunteer in Wuxi. B. He takes pride in the name “Yang Lei Feng”. C. He works at the same place as Lei Feng. D. He has established a vocational school. 25. What does the underlined word “indispensable” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Ordinary. B. Worthless. C. Replaceable. D. Essential. 26. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Personal achievements define one’s value. B. True worth comes from helping others. C Volunteer work should be financially rewarded. D. Geographic barriers limit moral actions. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Lei Feng Spirit: An Invaluable Virtue in China B. Volunteerism: A Modern Trend in China C. Lei Feng: Serving People Wholeheartedly D. Peter Stanleigh: Spreading the Lei Feng Spirit C Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March. many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic. Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March. major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data. In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams. China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic. “If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 28. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19? A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off. C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined. 29. Why did some US companies cut download speeds? A. To increase Internet strength. B. To improve picture qualities. C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users. 30. Compared with other countries. China's Internet system_________. A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster C. cost less money D. started earlier 31. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive. D Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics (道德准则). In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. This was done with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA. Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she’s alive and well. And in the USA last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies. Some people hope that in the future diseases or birth defects could simply be "edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News. In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. “Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director at Stanford University, USA, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, this embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.” So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now. 32 The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. record B. change C. remove D. increase 33. What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing? A. A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists. B A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells. C. HIV cells were removed from patients9 bodies. D. Some birth defects were simply edited out. 34. Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards? A. They don’t think it is an effective way to fight diseases. B. They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations. C. They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality. D. They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects. 35. What can we conclude from the text? A. Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects. B. There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes. C. Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future. D. Scientists are pessimistic (悲观的) about the future of gene editing. 第二节（共5小题 满分12.5分） How to Stay Positive around Negative People A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
