Ariel worked at the Wild Bird Fund rehab centre (康复中心) and knew that swans could be aggressive. So she should be careful to prevent herself from being hurt. But as she went near this one, she found that it was badly hurt. “I should help it, or it will die.” she thought. Ariel put her jacket over the bird’s hand to keep it calm first. She picked it up softly, and held it in her arms. And then she thought, “What should I do now?” Her best choice was to take the swan to the rehab centre, but that was across the river and on the other side of the city. How was she going to take a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, when some drivers saw her, they were willing to help her, her bike and the swan a ride to a nearby underground station. Ariel called the rehab centre on the way, and then an animal-care manager picked her up at another underground station. When they got to the centre, the manager checked and treated (治疗) the swan. They took good care of the swan. Now, the bird makes many swan friends in the centre, and it is enjoying a happy life.

As he didn’t have a place to keep it, he had to keep the mother horse in the neighbor’s garden. One day, the neighbour found a newly born baby horse under the tree. Surely, Ivan’s horse was the mother of the baby horse. Later, the neighbour told Ivan about the baby horse. He told Ivan that the tree was the mother of the baby horse because it was born under the tree. The baby horse belonged to him. Ivan was angry and wanted the horse back. So Ivan and his neighbour went to the king. The king listened to words on both sides patiently and said, “The truth is hard to tell. I’ve decided to set you two questions. Come back in four days and give me your answers. The person who answers the questions honestly shall win.” The questions were as follows: What’s the richest and fattest thing in the world? And what’s the sweetest thing? The neighbour went to her grandmother for help. His grandma said, “The richest and fattest thing is our pig. And the sweetest thing in the world is our little grandson.” Ivan went back to his house, looking upset. His little girl asked what happened, and he told her all about the king’s questions. She said, “The richest and fattest thing in the world is the earth. It gives us all our food. And the sweetest thing in the world is love.” Four days later, Ivan, with his daughter, came to the king. And so did the neighbor. The king listened to their answers, and turned to the neighbour. “Who helped you with your answers?” “Nobody, Sir,” said the neighbor. “I found out the answers all by myself.” The king did not believe him, and turned to Ivan. “And who helped you with your homework?” “I asked my daughter. She is really a smart girl, Sir.” “I see you are very clever, little girl,” the king said to Ivan’s daughter. “You and your father seem very poor. How do you live?” “Well, Sir,” said the girl. “Papa catches the fish living in trees.” “What?” asked the king. “That’s impossible because fishes don’t live in trees.” “Yes, Sir,” replied the wise girl. “And a tree can’t be the mother of a baby horse.” 30．Which word best describes the neighbour in the story? ________ A. Wise. B. Poor. C. Patient. D. Dishonest. 31．Why did the king leave questions to Ivan and the neighbour? A. He wanted to know about the fattest thing in the world. B.

He lived in a small village which lies in Huang gang today. He invented the printing around 600 AD (公元). He was the world’s first inventor of the printing. It is about 400 years earlier than the printing in Germany. The printing is also called the movable type printing (活字印刷). But how did it work in the past? First of all, the clay was made into movable types. Then words were engraved (雕刻) carefully on to the types. After that the words were chosen and put in right order in a box according to the text. Next, the workers brushed ink onto the movable types. Finally the types could be used for printing. They could be used again and again for different books. The movable type printing plays an important role in Chinese culture. With the help of it, Chinese culture spread around the world more quickly. At the same time, the movable type printing was widely used in the world at that time. As a result, more and more culture communication among countries took place. The movable type printing, the compass, gunpowder and the paper-making are called four great inventions of ancient China. With these inventions, China is able to own an important and even top position in the history of human civilization (文明). 34．When was the movable type printing invented? A. About 600 years ago. B. Before Song Dynasty. C. Around 600 AD. D. About 400 years ago. 35．What should the workers do after the words were chosen and put in right order? A. Print by using the types. B. Make the clay into movable types. C. Brush ink onto the types. D. Engrave words on to the types. 36．How many steps were there in the movable type printing? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 37．What’s the passage mainly about? A. Four great inventions and their position in the history of human civilization. B. Bi Sheng invented the movable type printing after trying many times. C. How Bi Sheng invented the movable type printing in Song Dynasty. D. The movable type printing and its importance for the culture communication. D Harry and Peter lived in the same village. They were both hard-working and had a happy life with other villagers. But that year, a serious drought happened in their village. Their fields were all dry and their crops were dying. They couldn't get enough water for their crops until a visitor from a village nearby came. The visitor told them that there was a spring on the mountain near their village and it had a large amount of water to water their fields. So Harry went to find it with two big buckets at once and later he began to carry water for his field every morning. He carried water from morning to night, but that wasn't enough for his field. Peter also went to find the spring with Harry, but he didn't carry water the next day. He also left the village in the early morning and then came back at night. Three days passed. Many villagers didn't see Peter in the daytime so they began to ask him where he went. Peter smiled and just told them to wait for his good news. Then the next day, at noon, Peter and a line of pieces of bamboo appeared in front of his field. When he joined the last piece of bamboo from the mountain with another one's end, water ran along them into his field. With Peter's help, all the other fields got water by joining pieces of bamboo and the fields were saved. And Harry needn't carry water with two heavy buckets, either. There's no doubt that being hard-working is a good quality, but hard work with good ideas is much better. 38．What is true about Harry and Peter? A. They were brothers. B. They worked together. C. They lived in the same place. D. They lived an unhappy life. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A. With Harry carrying water, his field was saved. B. Bamboo was used as a tool to carry water by Peter. C. Peter only saved his own field. D. Other villagers did nothing for saving their fields. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Practice makes perfect D. Work hard and think cleverly. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文及文后A～F选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。注意：有两项是多余的。 41 Microsoft created an app that can describe a photo. Huawei made an app that uses sounds to tell users if people they are talking to look happy, sad or angry. Now, Google is testing an app that will allow blind people to run alone. At a Google event in 2019, a blind runner, Thomas Panek, asked a group of experts whether they could create something to help blind people run on their own without a guide dog or human assistant. Panek, CEO of Guiding Eyes for the Blind, had always loved running. But he started losing his eyesight when he was 8, and by his early 20s he was blind. Later in life, he started running with other people or a guide dog to help him. 42 The Google team soon created Project Guideline. The Guideline app uses a smartphone camera to recognize a line painted on the ground. 43 The sounds get louder in either the left or the right ear the further the person moves away from the line. 44 “For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel like a blind man. I felt free,” Panek said. In November, 2020, Panek successfully ran 5 kilometers around New York City’s Central Park using the app. Panek hopes the app Project Guideline can help more people like him. 45 A. But he didn’t like being dependent on others. B. After first trying the app inside, Panek used it while running outside in a park last August. C. He wants to run by himself without help from anyone else. D. The line makes sounds when a person get close. E. And Google will also continue to work hard to develop the app. F. Many companies have created apps to help blind people. G. Through headphones, the app makes sounds when a person moves away from the line. 第三节 阅读问答（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题后要求回答问题。 [1]Citywalk is becoming a new travel fashion for the youth in China who are exploring cultural spots (景点). Unlike traditional travel, it aims to avoid famous tourist spots and large crowds to get a better experience. [2]Many young people enjoy gathering a couple of good friends and hanging out in the streets when they visit a new city. They can follow a typical city route (路线), exploring old buildings, going window-shopping, drinking a cup of coffee, or enjoying local snacks. [3]In order to show their Citywalk, more and more people prefer to share their experiences and thoughts through social media (媒体). Xiao Yiyi, a young guide in Changsha, recently shared six Citywalk routes of different cities on the Internet, providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Her Changsha travel route includes more unusual sights such as historical buildings, old streets, and even some snack bars. [4]Citywalk is spreading from the largest cities to smaller ones, encouraging more travelers and event organizers to join. Some places, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to develop cultural tourism and relaxing tours. Shanghai has set up Citywalk bus routes to help day-trippers reach more faraway areas first, and then continue on foot. [5]Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to explore a city but also provides them with a new social situation, where they can share their interests and ideas and make friends easily. What’s more, Citywalk provides an opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to offer a more professional service to meet the ever-changing market requirements. 46．How is Citywalk different from traditional travel? __________________________________________________________________________ 47．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. __________________________________________________________________________ 48．Why did Xiao Yiyi share some Citywalk routes online? __________________________________________________________________________ 49．For what purpose did Shandong include Citywalk in its plans? __________________________________________________________________________ 50．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?

Many studies show that people 61 (forget) their problems and feel better if they spend time with their friends. It’s sure that we are all parts of society. We all need friends. When we have problems, we’re halfway to solving a problem just 62 talking to our friend about it.

It seems that we can see each other’s heart clearly. If our friends are different from us, it’s a good idea 64 (help) each other. We can both bring out 65 (good) in each other as long as we keep learning from each other. So you see, a good friend should be someone who 66 (true) cares about us.
