A modern artist is different from a traditional artist in his work. W: Are you trying to tell me these strange paintings mean anything? Even a child could paint better than that! M: I guess there’s no point in discussing the matter any further. You have your opinion and I have mine. W: Right. Everything has two sides. Let’s go to enjoy paintings in other rooms. M: All right. But just like other artists, modern artists also try to get across their personal feelings about the world through paintings. W: Yes, I should enjoy their artworks more often so I can understand them better. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. How does James look to the woman? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Tired. 15.

I finished mine within 1 hour last night. M: I just couldn’t help playing on my phone when I was doing my homework last night. I spent several hours watching movies online. W: I used to play games on my phone all night. But now I hardly ever play on my phone. M: How did you manage to do that? W: Well, first, I’ve been trying to take part in more outdoor activities. I’ve joined a badminton team and we usually play badminton on Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. So I’m no longer addicted to the Internet. Then, I asked my parents to keep my phone every night before I go to bed. M: Well, maybe I should do what you do. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What makes Wang Fang’s cakes unique? A.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: One might have a difficult time cutting into Wang Fang’s cakes, because they are practically works of art, and almost too good to be spoiled. From natural wonders to cultural heritage, Wang Fang has recreated 1,800 destinations from China and around the world out of butter and flour. These micro-landscape cakes are rich in details and lifelike. Wang got involved in the art as a result of special requests from her former colleagues, who were most of her customers in the early days of her baking career. She had been working at a Chinese technology company as a visual designer for four years. As her experience grew, Wang discovered that baking was her true calling and quit her job in 2018. Wang Fang learned the basic skills of cake making from a professional cake maker. Then she opened her dessert studio. Not content with traditional buttercream cakes, she began to make cakes of various shapes. Wang recently took a three-day course on creating cake flavors. She’d like to add a wider range of flavors to her cakes. She’s also planning to introduce smaller cakes that are cheaper and designed for daily consumption. Wang feels that she is making money doing something she loves. The key lies in following the heart, choosing to do what she loves and enjoying the happiness that comes with it. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 A England Tours Rick Steves England tours provide the best value for your trip to Europe.

The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket. I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face. Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now.” Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us. I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on. 24. When did the story probably happen? A. On Christmas Day. B. Before Christmas Day, C. On New Year’s Day. D. After New Year’s Day. 25. What happened to Mark in the supermarket? A. His gifts were stolen. B. He broke his basket. C. He lost his money. D. He lost his way. 26. Why did the writer want to say “thank you” to the woman? A. Because she bought Mark a nice present. B. Because she always paid money for others. C. Because she collected clothes for the homeless. D. Because she taught Mark to help people in need. 27. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A big supermarket B. A kind woman C. A happy family D. A wonderful gift 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是圣诞节前作者的儿子马克去超市买礼物时发现钱丢了，一位女士及时帮助了他，而这位女士将帮助马克这件事当成了马克送给自己的一件礼物并希望马克能将这种善意传递下去。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.(12月的第三个星期六，马克说他已经列好了清单，口袋里有20美元。)”可知故事发生在12月的第三个周六，即圣诞节之前。故选B项。 25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Finally he came to the checkout counter and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.(最后，他来到收银台，把手伸进口袋拿钱。它不在那儿！他的口袋有个洞，但没有钱。马克站在那里，手里拿着篮子，泪流满面。)”可知在超市里马克发现自己的钱丢了。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.(我想对这位非常善良的女士说声“谢谢”，并告诉她四年后，马克挨家挨户地为火灾中无家可归的人收集毯子和衣服。我想向她保证马克永远不会忘记把它传承下去。)”可知这位善良的女士教会了马克去帮助需要帮助的人，所以作者向她表示感谢。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”(一个女人走到马克跟前，把他抱在怀里。“如果你让我为你买单，你就帮了我大忙了，”女人说。“这将是你能给我的最好的礼物。我只希望有一天你能把它传递下去。当你长大了，我希望你能找到一个你能帮助的人。当你帮助别人时，我知道你会像我现在一样感到高兴。”)”以及文章其他段落的内容可知文章主要讲的是圣诞节前作者的儿子马克去超市买礼物时发现钱丢了，一位女士及时帮助了他，而这位女士将帮助马克这件事当成了马克送给自己的一件礼物并希望马克能将这种善意传递下去，由此可以推测文章主要围绕着一件美好的礼物来展开，所以D项A wonderful gift(一件美好的礼物)作为文章的标题最合适，故选D项。 C Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm. The worm’s hidden skills were discovered by accident. About two years ago, Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the Spanish National Research Council and an amateur beekeeper, was cleaning out bees’ nest that had been filled with worms. She removed the worms and put them in a plastic bag while doing the cleaning. After finishing, she went back to the room where she had left the worms, and found they had escaped from the bag. When she checked, she saw that the bag was full of holes. Realizing she may have made an important discovery, Bertocchini teamed up with other researchers to conduct further research. They began by placing 100 worms on some plastic bags and discovered that over a 24-hour period, the worms managed to chew through 92 milligrams of plastic. The researchers make an appropriate judgment that at this rate, the group of worms could degrade (降解) an average-sized 5.5-gram plastic bag within a month. To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶). While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health. Susan Selke, director of Michigan State University School of Packaging, is concerned that the worms will not be able to survive in an oxygen-free landfills where large amounts of waste material are buried under the earth. However, Bertocchini is not planning to transport worm armies to landfills. Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag. 28. What did the experiment of using dead worms find out? A. Worms’ chewing may cause the degradation. B. A plastic-eating chemical exists in wax worms. C. Dead worms are effective in dealing with plastic. D. It takes a long time for worms to degrade plastic. 29. What is Ramani Naravan's attitude to Bertocchini's finding? A. Objective B. Convinced C. Questioning. D. Optimistic. 30. What might Bertocchini focus her later research on? A. The structure of plastic-degrading enzymes. B. The use of other worms in disposing plastic. C. Wax worms’ adaptability to the landfill environment. D. The chance of producing wax worms on a large scale. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Can wax worms save the environment? B. Wax worms have an appetite for plastic. C. Why do wax worms have plastic-eating skills? D. Hungry worms join the fight against plastic pollution 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍喜欢吃塑料的蜡虫。通过研究发现这种虫子具有塑料消化酶，尽管虽然这个消息确实令人鼓舞，但并不是每个人都信服，有些人认为吃塑料的蠕虫释放出的微小塑料碎片会收集有害物质并将它们输送到食物链上，对环境和人类健康造成更大的危害。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶).“为了排除咀嚼导致退化的可能性，研究人员将这种柔软湿润的物质撒在一些刚死的蠕虫体内的一张塑料上。可以肯定的是，即使是液体也能吃掉这些物质，这就证实了蠕虫有塑料消化酶。”由此可知，用死虫做的实验发现“蜡虫体内存在一种能吃塑料的化学物质。”故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health.“尽管这一消息确实令人鼓舞，但并非所有人都对此深信不疑。密歇根州立大学的Ramani Narayan认为，这些以塑料为食的蠕虫释放的微小塑料微粒会带走有害物质，并将其转移到食物链中，对环境和人类健康造成更大的危害。”由此可知，Ramani Naravan对Bertocchini的发现持“怀疑”态度。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag.“相反，研究人员想要找出帮助降解塑料的酶。研究人员说，也许我们可以找到这种分子并进行工业化生产，而不是用一百万只蠕虫装在一个塑料袋里。”由此可知，Bertocchini后来的研究重点可能是塑料降解酶的结构。故选A。 【31题详解】 标题判断题。根据第一段Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm.“虽然塑料购物袋便宜又有用，但它们造成了广泛的污染。现在，我们可能有了一个意想不到的帮手来帮我们清理垃圾——一只小蜡虫。”由此可知，B项Wax worms have an appetite for plastic.（蜡虫喜欢吃塑料。）为最佳标题。故选B。 D Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have changed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities. The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month—$360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads simply by posting a 15-second video. This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive. While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethnics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthdays and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers? Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good; technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it is only online.” Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous by posting a 15-second video teach young people? 32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Social networking. B A job offered by TikTok. C Making money on social media. D. Staying connected to the Internet. 33. What does the author try to indicate in Paragraph 2? A. TikTokers can hardly make ends meet. B. Social media platforms like TikTok can make people overpaid. C. Teens are wise to make a huge amount of money from TikTok. D. TikTokers earn such a high income that they can support their family. 34. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users? A. They are likely to develop false values. B. They tend to live an adult life too soon. C. They are forced to pay for certain services. D. They may stop believing other social media. 35. What did Richard Colyer stress according to his view? A. Contents of videos need checking before their release online. B. We have a responsibility to supply teens with food for thought. C. Young TikTokers should be banned from opening bank accounts. D. Money and technology can be good if used properly by TikTokers. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了社交媒体从单纯的社交软件变为赚钱工具的现象，并且很多用户的收入远远高于普通人。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“These social media platforms have changed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. (这些社交媒体平台已经从一种保持联系的方式变成了一个连孩子都能从他们的帖子中赚钱的行业。)”以及，划线词所在的句子表示，虽然这个 看起来好像是投机取巧的创新，但是它实际充满了隐藏的虚假现实。由此推断划线词this指代的是“社交媒体上赚钱”这件事。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month—$360,000 a year. (抖音品牌合作伙伴的收入从5万美元到15万美元不等，粉丝超过100万的抖音每月可以赚3万美元，一年可以赚36万美元。)”可知，像抖音这样的社交媒体平台可以让人们获得过高的报酬。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethnics (伦理). (如果我们不断地消费这样的内容，告诉我们要想成功，我们所需要做的就是保持传统的吸引力，发布一段15秒的新舞蹈视频，这将挑战我们对真正让一个人成功的知识，反过来也会影响我们个人的职业道德。)”以及倒数第二段中“It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. (孩子们在15秒的视频里跳最新的舞步就能赚钱，这听起来很棒，但我们应该培养孩子们的思想，而不仅仅是他们的银行账户。)”可知，如果抖音不断地宣传发布15秒钟舞蹈视频就能赚钱的思想，那么将会颠覆年轻人对成功的认知，产生不良影响。故推断，抖音会让年轻人形成错误的价值观。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. (孩子们在15秒的视频里跳最新的舞步就能赚钱，这听起来很棒，但我们应该培养孩子们的思想，而不仅仅是他们的银行账户。)”可知，Richard Colyer 强调我们有责任为青少年提供精神食粮。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Everybody gets angry, but out-of-control anger isn’t good for you or those around you. So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger: ● Relax. Breathe deeply from your stomach. ____36____ Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience. ● Change the way you think. When you’re angry, your thinking can get exaggerated （夸大的）. ____37____ For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, it’s terrible! Everything’s ruined,” tell yourself, “It’s understandable that I’m upset about it, but it’s not the end of the world.” ● ____38____ Statements like “This never works.” or “You’re always forgetting things.” will make you feel your anger is justified （情有可原的） and there’s no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you to find a solution. ● Have better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. ____39____ And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say. ● Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger comes the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. ____40____ A. Be careful with words like “never” or “always”. B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones. D. Avoid using these strategies when you’re in a tense situation. E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”. F. Try changing the topics so your talks won’t turn into arguments. G. That will help you realize that the things you’re angry about are really not very important. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。考试来临，如何为考试做准备呢？作者就此给出了几条可行的建议。 【36题详解】 根据空前的小标题“Relax.(放松)”可知，该段主要讲述的是在考试之前要放轻松。E选项“Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.(然后慢慢地重复一个平静的单词或短语，比如“放轻松”。)”中的take it easy与标题相对应，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据下文的“ For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, it’s terrible! Everything’s ruined,” tell yourself, “It’s understandable that I’m upset about it, but it’s not the end of the world.”(例如，不要告诉自己：“哦，这太糟糕了！一切都毁了，”告诉自己，“我对此感到沮丧是可以理解的，但这不是世界末日。”)”可知，此处强调的是要避免自己有一些消极的想法。故C选项“Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.(试着用更合理的想法取代这些想法。)”与此呼应，故选C。 【38题详解】 设空处是本段的小标题。根据后文的“Statements like “This never works.” or “You’re always forgetting things.” will make you feel your anger is justified and there’s no way to solve the problem.(像这样的陈述“这从来都没用”。或者“你总是忘事。”会让你觉得你的愤怒是有道理的，而且没有办法解决问题。)”可知，本段作者要建议人们谨慎使用带有never或always的话语。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据空前的小标题“Have better communication. (拥有良好的交流)”可知，本段强调的是交流的重要性。同时根据空前的“If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. (如果你正在进行一场激烈的讨论，那就放慢速度。)”可知，此处强调的是作者建议人们在激烈的讨论中，不要轻易下结论，要认真倾听，良好沟通，从而避免怒气的产生。B 选项“Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.( 仔细听对方在说什么。)”与此呼应，故选B。 【40题详解】 根据本段段旨“Use humor. (使用幽默)”可知，本段强调的是幽默的重要性。根据空前的“The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face.(你想象的场景中细节越多，你脸上就越有可能露出笑容。)”可知，幽默可以让人意识到令人生气的事其实并没有那么重要。故G选项“That will help you realize that the things you’re angry about are really not very important.(这将帮助你意识到你生气的事情其实并不重要。)”与此呼应，故选G。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was ten years old, I learned that trusting can be risky, especially with water and my father.

Some people think kids should be paid for doing housework. They believe it can motivate children and teach them the value of money. However, I firmly believe that kids shouldn’t be paid for doing housework. First of all, doing housework is a part of family responsibility. It helps children learn to care for the family and develop a sense of duty. Secondly, family members should support and help each other out of love and a sense of belonging, not for financial rewards. In conclusion, while there are pros and cons to both viewpoints, I think that instilling the right values and a sense of responsibility within the family context is more important than monetary compensation. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于开放性写作。要求考生以“Should Kids Be Paid for Doing Housework?”为题写一篇英语短文，阐明自己对此事的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 应该：should→ be supposed to 照顾：care for→ take care of 最后：in conclusion→ to conclude/last but not least 重要：important→ significant 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：First of all, doing housework is a part of family responsibility.

Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes. “What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing?” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.” As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin. During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress?” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory. Paragraph 1: On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. The instant she saw the box, she froze as if rooted to the ground. Mother thought it was a basin, but it turned out to be the “Big Red” dress when she opened the box. Her prior confusion had given way to excitement for gaining the dress. At that moment, I tiptoed to her and said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day”, sneaking a smile at my father. Mother was nearly jumping in the air because of my surprising wish. “We noticed your longing for that dress, so we bought it as a gift for you.” I added in a sincere tone. Paragraph 2: “Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. I looked at her, with tears sparkling in my eyes to see my mother so emotional. “Mom, why not try it on?” Hearing my words, she grasped the dress and tried it on, looking at me expectantly. Within minutes, I saw my mom wearing the red dress and walking in front of me, patting her shoulder and stretching the sleeves. “Wow, you are so beautiful” My father stood there, as if glued on the ground. Mother’s dress was waving in the breeze and brightening under the sunshine. “Tough as life is, I have had the most precious thing— your love.” Mom’s words went like a warm stream. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述弗兰克一家在伊顿百货橱窗见惊艳红缎裙，母亲虽被吸引，却因务实和习惯朴素，嘴上称其不实用，后红裙消失，弗兰克察觉母亲言语下的一丝渴望，全文围绕红裙展现母亲的生活状态与隐秘心思。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“母亲节当天早上，妈妈收到了一个大盒子，包装纸上印着 “伊顿精品水盆” 的字样。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：母亲节早上，妈妈收到印着“伊顿精品水盆”的盒子，打开竟是大红裙，又惊又喜。 ②由第二段首句内容““哦，弗兰克……” 她哽咽着说不出话来，泪水在眼眶里打转。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：妈妈见红裙哽咽落泪，试穿后十分美丽，爸爸惊叹，妈妈感慨拥有家人的爱是最珍贵的。 2.续写线索：妈妈收到盒子——打开看到大红裙——又惊又喜——试穿——爸爸惊叹——妈妈感慨 3.词汇激 活行为类 ①.看见：see/spot/catch sight of ②.打开：open/unfold ③.注意到：notice/ perceive 情绪类 ①.激动： excitement/thrill ②.令人惊讶的：surprising/astonishing/amazing 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket. I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face. Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now.” Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us. I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on. 24. When did the story probably happen? A. On Christmas Day. B. Before Christmas Day, C On New Year’s Day. D. After New Year’s Day. 25. What happened to Mark in the supermarket? A. His gifts were stolen. B. He broke his basket. C. He lost his money. D. He lost his way. 26. Why did the writer want to say “thank you” to the woman? A. Because she bought Mark a nice present. B. Because she always paid money for others. C. Because she collected clothes for the homeless. D. Because she taught Mark to help people in need. 27. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A big supermarket B. A kind woman C. A happy family D. A wonderful gift C Though plastic shopping bags are cheap and useful, they cause widespread pollution. Now, we may have an unlikely helper to help clean up our garbage — a small wax worm. The worm’s hidden skills were discovered by accident. About two years ago, Federica Bertocchini, a developmental biologist at the Spanish National Research Council and an amateur beekeeper, was cleaning out bees’ nest that had been filled with worms. She removed the worms and put them in a plastic bag while doing the cleaning. After finishing, she went back to the room where she had left the worms, and found they had escaped from the bag. When she checked, she saw that the bag was full of holes. Realizing she may have made an important discovery, Bertocchini teamed up with other researchers to conduct further research. They began by placing 100 worms on some plastic bags and discovered that over a 24-hour period, the worms managed to chew through 92 milligrams of plastic. The researchers make an appropriate judgment that at this rate, the group of worms could degrade (降解) an average-sized 5.5-gram plastic bag within a month. To rule out the possibility that chewing was causing the degradation, the researchers spread the soft wet substance inside the body of some recently dead worms on a sheet of plastic. Sure enough, even the liquid was able to eat through the material, confirming that the worms have plastic-digesting enzymes (酶). While the news is certainly encouraging, not everyone is convinced. The Michigan State University’s Ramani Narayan believes the tiny pieces of microplastics released by the plastic-eating worms would pick up harmful substances and transport them up the food chain, causing, even more, harm to the environment and human health. Susan Selke, director of Michigan State University School of Packaging, is concerned that the worms will not be able to survive in an oxygen-free landfills where large amounts of waste material are buried under the earth. However, Bertocchini is not planning to transport worm armies to landfills. Instead, the researcher wants to identify the enzyme that helps degrade the plastic. The researcher says, maybe we can find the molecule (分子) and produce it on an industrial level, rather than using a million worms in a plastic bag. 28. What did the experiment of using dead worms find out? A. Worms’ chewing may cause the degradation. B. A plastic-eating chemical exists in wax worms. C. Dead worms are effective in dealing with plastic. D. It takes a long time for worms to degrade plastic. 29. What is Ramani Naravan's attitude to Bertocchini's finding? A. Objective B. Convinced C. Questioning. D. Optimistic. 30. What might Bertocchini focus her later research on? A. The structure of plastic-degrading enzymes. B. The use of other worms in disposing plastic. C. Wax worms’ adaptability to the landfill environment. D. The chance of producing wax worms on a large scale. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Can wax worms save the environment? B. Wax worms have an appetite for plastic. C. Why do wax worms have plastic-eating skills? D. Hungry worms join the fight against plastic pollution D Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These social media platforms have changed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities. The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month—$360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads simply by posting a 15-second video. This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered conventionally attractive. While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethnics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthdays and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers? Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good; technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it is only online.” Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous by posting a 15-second video teach young people? 32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Social networking. B. A job offered by TikTok. C. Making money on social media. D. Staying connected to the Internet. 33. What does the author try to indicate in Paragraph 2? A. TikTokers can hardly make ends meet. B. Social media platforms like TikTok can make people overpaid. C. Teens are wise to make a huge amount of money from TikTok. D. TikTokers earn such a high income that they can support their family. 34. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users? A. They are likely to develop false values. B. They tend to live an adult life too soon. C. They are forced to pay for certain services. D They may stop believing other social media. 35. What did Richard Colyer stress according to his view? A. Contents of videos need checking before their release online. B. We have a responsibility to supply teens with food for thought. C. Young TikTokers should be banned from opening bank accounts. D. Money and technology can be good if used properly by TikTokers. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Everybody gets angry, but out-of-control anger isn’t good for you or those around you. So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger: ● Relax. Breathe deeply from your stomach. ____36____ Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience. ● Change the way you think. When you’re angry, your thinking can get exaggerated （夸大的）. ____37____ For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, it’s terrible! Everything’s ruined,” tell yourself, “It’s understandable that I’m upset about it, but it’s not the end of the world.” ● ____38____ Statements like “This never works.” or “You’re always forgetting things.” will make you feel your anger is justified （情有可原的） and there’s no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you to find a solution. ● Have better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. ____39____ And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say. ● Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger comes the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. ____40____ A. Be careful with words like “never” or “always”. B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones. D. Avoid using these strategies when you’re in a tense situation. E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”. F. Try changing the topics so your talks won’t turn into arguments. G. That will help you realize that the things you’re angry about are really not very important. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was ten years old, I learned that trusting can be risky, especially with water and my father.

Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes. “What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing?” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.” As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin. During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress?” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory. Paragraph 1: On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。Where you heading in such a rush?
