With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I’m most passionate about so I decided it was worth the £5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time? After carefully analyzing the situation, I came up with an explanation. Now I realize, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading. It is obvious, in hindsight (在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour the whole thing in a matter of hours. Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf. 41. What surprised the author? A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap. C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book. 42. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Explore ways to create a reading list. B. Introduce his particular taste in books. C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader. D. Analyze how children’s books are classified. 43. What books does the author advise people to read? A. Those that attract their interest. B. Those that enrich their knowledge. C. Those that are popular among readers. D. Those that are written by best-selling authors. 44. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A. eat greedily B. read eagerly C. run quickly D. spend unwillingly 45 What is the best title for the text? A. Learning from a great book B. How I fell in love with reading C. Creating a successful study tour D. How I developed a reading habit 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. B 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者因手机丢失买了本书，意外爱上阅读，发现选书应基于兴趣而非他人推荐，从而改变了对阅读的看法。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight(让我大为惊讶的是，我在那两小时的返程航班上读完了整本书。)”可知，让作者惊讶的是他竟然读完了整本书。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“After carefully analyzing the situation, I came up with an explanation.(经过仔细分析情况后，我得出了一个解释。)”和第二段“Now I realize, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.(现在我意识到，小时候读的书大多来自三个渠道：推荐书目、学校用书和“一生必读”系列。那时我对书籍和阅读没什么经验，所以每次选书时，总觉得这些就是该读的书，深信自己一定会喜欢，结果却让我认定自己天生不爱阅读。)”可知，在该段中，作者主要解释了他过去不读书的原因，是小时候所读的书并不是自己真正喜欢的，所以不愿读，最终以为自己不爱读书。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.(所以一定要确保你读的书涉及你真正热爱的主题——不要害怕打造属于自己的独特书架。)”可知，作者建议人们阅读那些关于自己真正热爱的主题的书籍，那些能引起自己兴趣的书。故选A。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It is obvious, in hindsight (在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. (事后回想起来，我显然真的很喜欢阅读。)”和“The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour the whole thing in a matter of hours.(少数几次翻到一本感觉对味的书，我便会在几小时内devour整本书。)”可知，作者意识到了自己是真的喜欢阅读，所以一旦翻到了自己感觉很对的书，就会如饥似渴地在几小时内读完整本书，故devour表示“如饥似渴地阅读”。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight—and so my love for reading began. (让我大为惊讶的是，我在那次两小时的返程航班上读完了整本书——就这样，我对阅读的热爱开始了。)”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者是如何从一个过去不读书的人，变得热爱读书的一段过程。故选B。 C Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.” As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles. We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different. The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not to pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives. As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes. What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make your own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary. 46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others. B. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn C. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves. D. Reflecting upon other people’s strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes. 47. The underlined part “this type of learning” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________ A. learning from other people’s mistakes B. learning from others experiences C. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have D. reflecting others strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves 48. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that________. A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship B. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes C. some reflection will help to improve ourselves D. reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life 49. The passage is probably taken from________. A. a magazine about life B. a book about travel C. an advertisement D. a research report 50. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. How to improve oneself. B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves. C. How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life. D. How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是向别人学习的好处及如何从别人的优点和缺点中学习。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.(我们总是倾向于认为我们只能向那些地位比我们高或知识比我们多的人学习，但事实并非如此。我们也向地位比我们低的人学习，因为每个人的经验和知识都非常不同。)”可知，B选项“Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn(我们只能向比我们知识多的人学习)”是错误的，故选B。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves(把别人的优点和缺点反映到自己身上)”可知，this type of learning指的就是“reflecting others strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves”，故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.(因此，不断地用别人的优点和缺点来反思自己，会让我们意识到这些错误的代价，减少我们犯类似错误的可能性。)”可知，从第五段，我们了解到一些反思将有助于提高我们自己，故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”(孔子说：“三人行，必有我师。选择跟随别人的优点，并利用他们的缺点来反思自己。”)”和第二段的“As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves.(正如你从孔子所说的那样，我们遇到的每一个人都能教给我们一些有用的东西。只要我们反思从他人身上学到的教训，我们就能不断提高自己。)”可知，本文主要讲的是向别人学习的好处，是关于日常生活的，因此可能来自于一本关于生活的杂志，故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”(孔子说：“三人行，必有我师。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。”)”和第二段的“As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves.(正如你从孔子所说的那样，我们遇到的每一个人都能教给我们一些有用的东西。只要我们反思从他人身上学到的教训，我们就能不断提高自己。)”可知，本文主要讲的是向别人学习的好处及如何从别人的优点和缺点中学习，也就是How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings，故选D。 第五部分：书面表达(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的字数要求)。阅读下面短文并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how. Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer. Develop a good attitude about the tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. 51. What is the best title of the passage? (within 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Please explain the underlined phrase “set aside” in English. (within 5 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What kind of attitude shall we have about the tests according to the passage? (Within 20 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. Who is the passage written for? (Within 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Which suggestion do you think is the best for you? Why? (Within 30 words.) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. How to Become a Better Student？ 52. Reserve or save. 53. We should not be overly worried because tests help us remember knowledge. 54. Average students wanting to improve. 55. I think “Make good use of your time in class” is the best, because listening carefully in class means less work later and helps me understand better. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章旨在为普通学生提供一套系统且实用的学习方法指导。 51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how. (任何人只要愿意，都能成为更好的学生。方法如下 。)”可知，本文旨在介绍成为好学生的方法，“How to Become a Better Student? (如何成为更好学生)”适合作本文标题。故填How to Become a Better Student？ 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语set aside前面的句子“After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. (列出清单后，你应该制定一个时间安排表。首先安排好吃饭、睡觉、穿衣等的时间。然后确定一个合适且固定的学习时间。)”可推断，set aside包含“预留”之意。故填Reserve or save. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried. (考试的目的是检验你对某一学科知识的掌握程度。考试有助于你记住新知识。如果你没有通过考试，世界也不会因此而毁灭，所以不要过度担忧。)”可知，我们不要过度担心考试，因为考试帮助我们记住知识。故填We should not be overly worried because tests help us remember knowledge. 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. (也许你是个成绩一般的学生。你可能觉得自己永远都成不了尖子生。然而，这未必如此。任何人，只要愿意，都能成为更好的学生。)”可知，本文的写作对象是想要提高的普通学生。故填Average students wanting to improve. 【55题详解】 推理判断题。本题需要从五个小标题中作出选择吗，属于开放性试题。我认为Make good use of your time in class. (充分利用你课堂上的时间。)对我最有用，因为在课堂上认真听讲意味着之后的学习任务会减少，还能帮助我更好地理解知识。故填I think “Make good use of your time in class” is the best, because listening carefully in class means less work later and helps me understand better. 第二节：写作(满分15分) 56. 假设你是李华，是一名高一新生。最近你收到美国网友Mary的邮件，询问你的高中生活和学习体会。你现在给她写一封邮件，要点如下： 1. 介绍高中生活，（如同学，老师，课余活动等）。 2. 介绍学习情况。 3. 希望在英语学习上得到建议和帮助。 注意： 1. 词数100左右。2. 第一句话已给出，不计入总数。3. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Mary, Glad to hear from you!

Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too. Stamp Designing The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving. Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high. Things to consider  Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form (报名表) which your teacher will give you.  Your design must be your own original work.  Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.  Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.  Please avoid using highlighter pens (荧光笔). Good Luck The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country. Good Luck! 36. Who would probably take part in the competition? A. Students. B. Doctors. C. School teachers. D. Professional designers. 37. What do we know about the competition? A. It will begin on 28th May. B. It is for a series of four stamps. C. It asks competitors to honour heroes on their stamps. D. It will provide each competing school with cash prizes. 38. What’s the requirement for the size of your stamps? A. About 3.5cm wide×3.5cm high. B. About 3.7cm wide×3.7cm high. C. About 3.5cm wide×3.7cm high. D. About 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high. 39. What is a requirement for the stamp design? A. It should be black and white. B. It should be drawn with highlighter pens. C. It should be flat with textures. D. It should be drawn on a given form. 40. The author writes the text mainly to . A. advertise for some newly issued stamps B. send a notice about designing stamps C. call on people to respect modern heroes D. encourage people to be frontline workers B I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I’m most passionate about so I decided it was worth the £5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time? After carefully analyzing the situation, I came up with an explanation. Now I realize, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading. It is obvious, in hindsight (在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour the whole thing in a matter of hours. Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf. 41. What surprised the author? A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap. C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book. 42. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Explore ways to create a reading list. B. Introduce his particular taste in books. C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader. D. Analyze how children’s books are classified. 43. What books does the author advise people to read? A. Those that attract their interest. B. Those that enrich their knowledge. C. Those that are popular among readers. D. Those that are written by best-selling authors. 44. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A. eat greedily B. read eagerly C. run quickly D. spend unwillingly 45. What is the best title for the text? A. Learning from a great book B. How I fell in love with reading C Creating a successful study tour D. How I developed a reading habit C Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.” As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people,we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles. We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different. The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not to pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives. As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes. What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make your own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary. 46.

You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how. Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer. Develop a good attitude about the tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. 51. What is the best title of the passage?
