B Inspired by the movement to protect the Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound, I decided to devote myself to producing images for conservation full-time in 1992. Since that time my work has taken me all over the world and my photos have appeared in many major magazines. However, many of my most rewarding moments have come from working on projects in British Columbia, Canada, and sharing those images in slide show tours I have given throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The more I travel and photograph in other parts of the world, the more I have come to realize the wilderness we have in Canada is truly special and rare. I have always felt that as a photographer my goal is to approach the natural environment with the sense of wonder and curiosity that comes so naturally to children. This, I believe, is one of the basic keys not just to producing meaningful images, but more importantly, to gaining a full appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world. I find that not only my best images, but also my most enjoyable experiences in nature, occur when I have an open mind and follow my intuition (直觉). When I feel drawn to a certain scene, I try to make the scene simple and not include anything that is not relevant. I also try all ways to look for beautiful light. Early morning and the end of the day almost always produce light that results in more pleasing images than those taken under the strong light in the middle of a sunny day. Soft cloudy skies are wonderful for photographing all day, especially in our beautiful forests or for small subjects like wildflowers. Rain, storms, and snow also provide wonderful opportunities for new and different kinds of images. 41. In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us about________. A. his working experiences B. his goal as a photographer C. his skills in photographing D. his understanding about conservation 42. It can be inferred that the author________. A. was born in the United Kingdom B. now works mainly in the United States C. has worked as a full-time tour guide since 1992 D. is aware of the importance of environmental protection 43. What’s the authors goal as a photographer? A. To produce beautiful pictures B To take his children to approach the nature. C. To gain people’s appreciation and admiration. D. To get close to nature with strong desire to know about it 44. Which of the following is true of the author’s images? A. They are not easy to be produced in soft cloudy skies. B. Sometimes the scenes in them are simple and don’t include irrelevant things. C. If they are wildflowers, the best time to produce them is in the rain. D. If produced at the end of the day, they are more beautiful than in the early morning. 45. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To study the key to becoming a famous artist. B To show thoughts about nature photography. C. To praise wonderful scenes they have in Canada. D. To tell the most enjoyable experiences in nature. C Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA. It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York. The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives. Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly. The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week, and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up. If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves. Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool. Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part. 46. The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________. A. are used only in hospitals B are too complicated to operate C. help people recover from illness D. can detect disease as soon as possible 47. A melanoma monitor can benefit ________. A. those dealing with stress B. potential cancer patients C. people suffering a wound D. people who’ve got toothache 48. The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “________”. A. staying calm B. stopping sweating C. keeping handsome D. expressing in words 49. It is difficult for scientists to ________. A. persuade people to use the gadgets B. design inventions to prevent illness C. collect enough money for their work D. make the gadgets affordable and handy 50. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Doctor in the House B. Hospitals in the Future C. Tips for Brushing your Teeth D. The History of Medical Equipment D Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out（分配） energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing, yet not risk burning off all its stored energy. While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis（光合作用）. In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch（淀粉）. At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth. “The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food,” said study co-author Alison Smith. “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.” The scientists studied the plant Arabidopsis, which is regarded as a model plant for experiments. To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them. During one of the exams, they shut off the lights early on them that had been grown with twelve-hour days and nights. Putting them into darkness after only an eight-hour day means they didn’t have time to store as much starch as usual. And this forced the plants to adjust their normal nightly rhythm. Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night. They had neither starved, nor stored starch that could have been used to fuel more growth. The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average. The results of the study were published in e Life. 51. According to the passage, plants _________. A. use little energy during the day B. usually stop growing at night C. waste a lot of energy at night D. store starch during the day 52. What did the scientists do when studying Arabidopsis? A. They changed the plant’s light conditions. B. They provided the plant with more starch. C. They tried to keep the plant’s natural rhythm. D. They attached a biological calculator to the plant. 53. When morning arrived, the experimental plants ________. A. nearly died of lack of food B. used most of their stored energy C. began to regulate their food store D. stored enough starch for the next day 54 What can we learn about the little stint? A. They may have a system to control energy consumption. B. They often die during their long and difficult journey. C. They leave the Arctic in summer every year. D. They are unable to calculate the distances. 55. The passage mainly tells us _________. A. plants feel hungrier day by day B. plants are good at storing energy C. plants do math to survive the night D. plants use starch to fuel their growth 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共35分) 第三部分：写作 (共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In 2016, Wanda Dench was trying to let her grandkids know about the family’s upcoming plans for the holiday and tried to send a text message to her grandson. But Jamal Hinton, who was a 17-year-old high school student and complete stranger to Dench at the time, received the text instead. Once the two Arizona natives realized the mistake, Hinton asked if he could “still get a plate,” according to screenshots he posted on Twitter. Dench replied, “Of course, you can. That’s what grandmas do...feed everyone.” Hinton shared the sweet conversation on social media and the story quickly went viral (疯传). They have celebrated Thanksgiving together every year since, always snapping photos and taking videos, much to the delight of many following their story. This year, a very important person is missing from the annual tradition — Dench’s husband, Lonnie. He died from the coronavirus this spring. Wanda was able to be with him during his final moments. Dench and Hinton thought about the risks of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic (疫情期间), weighing if they could figure out a way to get together the day before gathering with their own individual families. But, they eventually concluded the risk was too high. In honor of Lonnie, the friends instead held a small gathering on Friday. Dench, her actual grandson, her daughter, Hinton and his girlfriend, Mikaela, got together for an early Thanksgiving meal. The event was a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past. “I didn’t want to miss Thanksgiving with Jamal,” Dench said. “This year is definitely different than all the years in the past.” To honor Lonnie, an empty seat and lit candle were placed at the head of the table. The beloved husband would always say grace before the holiday meal, so this year, Dench led the prayer. “Thank you for all the blessings, and thank you so much for having Lonnie in my life,” Dench said as everyone sat around the table. “I miss him, but I know he’s in a good place. So to everybody here, I love you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.” 56. What was the relationship between Dench and Hinton at the beginning of the story? (no more than 3 words) 57. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2? (no more than 6 words) 58. Why was this year’s gathering a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past? (no more than 15 words) 59. Why did Dench lead the prayer this year? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of Dench and Hinton's story? And give your reasons.

Since that time my work has taken me all over the world and my photos have appeared in many major magazines. However, many of my most rewarding moments have come from working on projects in British Columbia, Canada, and sharing those images in slide show tours I have given throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The more I travel and photograph in other parts of the world, the more I have come to realize the wilderness we have in Canada is truly special and rare. I have always felt that as a photographer my goal is to approach the natural environment with the sense of wonder and curiosity that comes so naturally to children. This, I believe, is one of the basic keys not just to producing meaningful images, but more importantly, to gaining a full appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world. I find that not only my best images, but also my most enjoyable experiences in nature, occur when I have an open mind and follow my intuition (直觉). When I feel drawn to a certain scene, I try to make the scene simple and not include anything that is not relevant. I also try all ways to look for beautiful light. Early morning and the end of the day almost always produce light that results in more pleasing images than those taken under the strong light in the middle of a sunny day. Soft cloudy skies are wonderful for photographing all day, especially in our beautiful forests or for small subjects like wildflowers. Rain, storms, and snow also provide wonderful opportunities for new and different kinds of images. 41. In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us about________. A. his working experiences B. his goal as a photographer C. his skills in photographing D. his understanding about conservation 42. It can be inferred that the author________. A. was born in the United Kingdom B. now works mainly in the United States C. has worked as a full-time tour guide since 1992 D. is aware of the importance of environmental protection 43. What’s the authors goal as a photographer? A. To produce beautiful pictures B. To take his children to approach the nature. C. To gain people’s appreciation and admiration. D. To get close to nature with strong desire to know about it 44. Which of the following is true of the author’s images? A. They are not easy to be produced in soft cloudy skies. B. Sometimes the scenes in them are simple and don’t include irrelevant things. C. If they are wildflowers, the best time to produce them is in the rain. D. If produced at the end of the day, they are more beautiful than in the early morning. 45. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To study the key to becoming a famous artist. B. To show thoughts about nature photography. C. To praise wonderful scenes they have in Canada. D. To tell the most enjoyable experiences in nature. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. D 44. B 45.

But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA. It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York. The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives. Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly. The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week, and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up. If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves. Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool. Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part. 46. The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________. A. are used only in hospitals B. are too complicated to operate C. help people recover from illness D. can detect disease as soon as possible 47. A melanoma monitor can benefit ________. A. those dealing with stress B. potential cancer patients C. people suffering a wound D. people who’ve got toothache 48. The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “________”. A. staying calm B. stopping sweating C. keeping handsome D. expressing in words 49. It is difficult for scientists to ________. A. persuade people to use the gadgets B. design inventions to prevent illness C. collect enough money for their work D. make the gadgets affordable and handy 50. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Doctor in the House B. Hospitals in the Future C. Tips for Brushing your Teeth D. The History of Medical Equipment 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了多项家庭医用的小器械，包括刷牙时检查血糖和细菌的牙刷、智能绷带、黑色素瘤监测仪、“数字医生”电脑以及便携式通讯工具等，这些家庭医用的小器械就好比“家里的医生”，将使人们的身体以及日常生活保持健康。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal.”（这些小器械应该能让人们在疾病发作之前很早就发现疾病，从而比正常人更早地寻求治疗），可知小器械能帮助人尽快发现疾病。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer.”（最大的进展是黑色素瘤监测仪，用于对癌症进行早期预警），可知黑色素瘤监测仪可以对癌症进行早期预警，说明黑色素瘤监测仪对潜在的癌症患者有好处。故选B项。 48题详解】 词句猜测题。由第六段中的“A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.”（一个便携式通讯工具可以识别某些短语和音调，并让你知道什么时候你要发脾气。该软件还建议了keeping your cool的方法），可知这个便携式通讯工具会让你知道什么时候你要发脾气，它还对快要发脾气的人提出了建议，因为本文讲的是与保持健康相关的小器械，可知此处提的建议应该是让人不要生气，即保持冷静的方法，keeping your cool在此处意为“staying calm（保持冷静）”。故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段“Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.”（然而，研究人员仍在努力使这项技术对家庭用户来说足够便宜和简单。那将是困难的部分），可知科学家很难做到让这些小玩意儿既便宜又方便。故选D项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.”（美国目前正在研制一种能在刷牙时检查血糖和细菌的牙刷，它是纽约未来健康中心的工程师和医生们提出的许多小器械之一），第二段中的“Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets.”（而不是依靠高科技医院，重点转移到家庭和易于使用的小器械）和下文讲的“智能绷带、黑色素瘤监测仪、“数字医生”电脑以及便携式通讯工具” 等这些家庭医用的小器械，可知文章介绍了多项家庭医用的小器械，包括刷牙时检查血糖和细菌的牙刷、智能绷带、黑色素瘤监测仪、“数字医生”电脑以及便携式通讯工具等，这些家庭医用的小器械就好比“家里的医生”，将使人们的身体以及日常生活保持健康，A项“家里的医生”符合文意。故选A项。 D Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out（分配） energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing, yet not risk burning off all its stored energy. While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis（光合作用）. In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch（淀粉）. At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth. “The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food,” said study co-author Alison Smith. “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.” The scientists studied the plant Arabidopsis, which is regarded as a model plant for experiments. To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them. During one of the exams, they shut off the lights early on them that had been grown with twelve-hour days and nights. Putting them into darkness after only an eight-hour day means they didn’t have time to store as much starch as usual. And this forced the plants to adjust their normal nightly rhythm. Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night. They had neither starved, nor stored starch that could have been used to fuel more growth. The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average. The results of the study were published in e Life. 51. According to the passage, plants _________. A. use little energy during the day B. usually stop growing at night C. waste a lot of energy at night D. store starch during the day 52. What did the scientists do when studying Arabidopsis? A. They changed the plant’s light conditions. B. They provided the plant with more starch. C. They tried to keep the plant’s natural rhythm. D. They attached a biological calculator to the plant. 53. When morning arrived, the experimental plants ________. A. nearly died of lack of food B. used most of their stored energy C. began to regulate their food store D. stored enough starch for the next day 54. What can we learn about the little stint? A. They may have a system to control energy consumption. B. They often die during their long and difficult journey. C. They leave the Arctic in summer every year. D. They are unable to calculate the distances. 55 The passage mainly tells us _________. A. plants feel hungrier day by day B. plants are good at storing energy C. plants do math to survive the night D. plants use starch to fuel their growth 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. B 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了植物体内有类似生物计算器的控制系统来控制能源消耗。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis（光合作用）. In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch（淀粉）.”（当阳光照射时，植物进行光合作用。在这个过程中，植物将阳光、水和二氧化碳转化为储存的能量，形成长链的糖，称为淀粉），可知当阳光照射时，即白天时，植物进行光合作用储存淀粉。故选D项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them.”（为了给这些植物做一些数学测试，生物学家让夜晚出乎意料地早或晚到来），可知为了研究拟南芥，科学家们让夜晚出乎意料地早或晚到来，即他们改变了植物的光照条件。故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth.”（在晚上，植物燃烧这些储存的淀粉，以促进其继续生长）和第六段中的“Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night.”（令人惊讶的是，即使在这一天的把戏之后，这些植物在考试中表现得非常好，最后在晚上只剩下5%的淀粉），可知植物燃烧储存的淀粉来生长，实验植物只剩下5%的淀粉，说明它们使用了了大部分储存的能量。故选B项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out（分配） energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing, yet not risk burning off all its stored energy.”（英国约翰·因内斯中心的生物学家发现，植物有一个生物过程，它将储存的能量除以夜晚的长度。这就解决了如何在夜间分配能量储备的问题，这样植物就可以继续生长，同时又不会冒着烧掉所有储存能量的风险）和倒数第二段“The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average.”（作者认为，类似的生物计算器可以解释，一只迁徙的鸟，小滨鹬，是如何跋涉5000公里到达它们在北极的夏季栖息地的，到达时体内储存了足够的脂肪，平均下来只能多活大约半天），可知植物有类似生物计算器的控制系统来控制能源消耗（促进生长），类似的生物计算器可以解释一只候鸟，小滨鹬，可得出小滨鹬可能也有一个系统来控制能源消耗。故选A项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night.

But Jamal Hinton, who was a 17-year-old high school student and complete stranger to Dench at the time, received the text instead. Once the two Arizona natives realized the mistake, Hinton asked if he could “still get a plate,” according to screenshots he posted on Twitter. Dench replied, “Of course, you can. That’s what grandmas do...feed everyone.” Hinton shared the sweet conversation on social media and the story quickly went viral (疯传). They have celebrated Thanksgiving together every year since, always snapping photos and taking videos, much to the delight of many following their story. This year, a very important person is missing from the annual tradition — Dench’s husband, Lonnie. He died from the coronavirus this spring. Wanda was able to be with him during his final moments. Dench and Hinton thought about the risks of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic (疫情期间), weighing if they could figure out a way to get together the day before gathering with their own individual families. But, they eventually concluded the risk was too high. In honor of Lonnie, the friends instead held a small gathering on Friday. Dench, her actual grandson, her daughter, Hinton and his girlfriend, Mikaela, got together for an early Thanksgiving meal. The event was a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past. “I didn’t want to miss Thanksgiving with Jamal,” Dench said. “This year is definitely different than all the years in the past.” To honor Lonnie an empty seat and lit candle were placed at the head of the table. The beloved husband would always say grace before the holiday meal, so this year, Dench led the prayer. “Thank you for all the blessings, and thank you so much for having Lonnie in my life,” Dench said as everyone sat around the table. “I miss him, but I know he’s in a good place. So to everybody here, I love you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.” 56. What was the relationship between Dench and Hinton at the beginning of the story? (no more than 3 words) 57. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2? (no more than 6 words) 58. Why was this year’s gathering a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past? (no more than 15 words) 59. Why did Dench lead the prayer this year? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of Dench and Hinton's story? And give your reasons. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. They were strangers. Or: Strangers. 57. Still join their family’s Thanksgiving. Or: Celebrate Thanksgiving together with her family. 58. Because the risk of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic was too high. 59. Because Lonnie was dead. 60. Open. (I think their story is fantastic. Because one wrong text message brought strangers together and kept them together for years, which is incredible.) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了丹齐将发给自己孙子的短信误发给了一个叫欣顿的小伙，因为这一次“错误”，欣顿收获了几位“家人”，并参与了他们的感恩节聚会。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“In 2016, Wanda Dench was trying to let her grandkids know about the family's upcoming plans for the holiday and tried to send a text message to her grandson. But Jamal Hinton, who was a 17-year-old high school student and complete stranger to Dench at the time, received the text instead. (2016年，万达·丹奇试图让她的孙子知道家庭即将到来的假期计划，并试图给她的孙子发短信。但当时对丹奇完全陌生的17岁高中生贾马尔·辛顿却收到了这条短信)”可知万达·丹奇和贾马尔·辛顿是两个相互不认识的陌生人。故答案为They were strangers. / Strangers. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段的最后一句“Dench replied, “Of course you can. That’s what grandmas do...feed everyone.”(丹奇回答说：“你当然可以。这就是奶奶该做的……养活每个人。”)”及第六段的第二句“Dench, her actual grandson, her daughter, Hinton and his girlfriend, Mikaela, got together for an early Thanksgiving meal.(丹奇，她的孙子，她的女儿，欣顿和他的女朋友，米凯拉，一起提前吃感恩节晚餐)”，再结合第一段丹齐错发短信给欣顿的细节可知划线词所在的句子可以理解为欣顿询问：他是否依然可以参加丹奇家的感恩节晚宴。故划线词可以理解为Still join their family’s Thanksgiving. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“Dench and Hinton thought about the risks of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic (疫情期间), weighing if they could figure out a way to get together the day before gathering with their own individual families. But, they eventually concluded the risk was too high.(丹齐和辛顿想举行感恩节庆典，在疫情期间，他们考虑是否能找到一个办法在与各自家人聚会的前一天能够聚在一起。但是，他们最终得出的结论是，风险太高了)”及第六段的首句“In honor of Lonnie, the friends instead held a small gathering on Friday.(为了纪念朗尼，朋友们在周五举行了一个小型聚会)”及尾句“The event was a sharp contrast from the larger celebrations of years past.(此次活动与以往的大型庆祝活动形成了鲜明对比)”可知，此次感恩节活动与以往活动形成鲜明对比的原因是在疫情期间举行活动风险太高了。故答案为Because the risk of holding a Thanksgiving celebration amid the pandemic was too high. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段的第二句“He died from the coronavirus this spring.(今年春天，他死于冠状病毒)”及倒数第二段“To honor Lonnie, an empty seat and lit candle were placed at the head of the table. The beloved husband would always say grace before the holiday meal, so this year, Dench led the prayer.(为了向朗尼表示敬意，在桌子的上首放置了一个空位子和点燃的蜡烛。这位心爱的丈夫总是在节日饭前做祈祷，所以今年，丹奇主持祈祷)”可知，今年由丹齐主持祈祷是因为她的丈夫朗尼去世了。故答案为Because Lonnie was dead. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理即可，注意词数限制。根据文章的主要内容及叙事情节（丹齐将发给自己孙子的短信误发给了一个叫欣顿的小伙，因为这一次“错误”，欣顿收获了几位“家人”，并参与了他们的感恩节聚会。）及第三段“Hinton shared the sweet conversation on social media and the story quickly went viral (疯传). They have celebrated Thanksgiving together every year since, always snapping photos and taking videos, much to the delight of many following their story.(辛顿在社交媒体上分享了这段甜蜜的对话，这个故事迅速走红。从那以后，他们每年都一起庆祝感恩节，总是拍照和拍视频，让很多关注他们故事的人很高兴)”可推知，这个故事非常的不可思议，因为发送的错误信息让两个毫不相干的人能够认识并多年保持联系。故答案为Open. (I think their story is fantastic. Because one wrong text message brought strangers together and kept them together for years, which is incredible.) 第二节：书面表达 (满分25分) 61. 假设你是天津中学的高二学生章舒景。你的美国好友Johnson通过微信朋友圈看到你校上个月举办了“我和母校生态园的四季”主题摄影展，发来邮件表示对该活动很感兴趣。他曾在邮件中提到自己热爱用镜头记录家乡的季节变化。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 简要介绍摄影展活动相关信息(活动的时间、目的及参与情况)。 2. 介绍一幅你印象最深刻的摄影作品(画面内容及你对此作品的感受)。 3. 希望分享照片。 参考词汇：“Seasons with the Ecological Park in My Alma Mater” “我和母校生态园的四季” 注意： （1） 词数不少于100； （2） 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Johnson, I’m glad you’re interested in our school’s photography exhibition “Seasons with the Ecological Park in My Alma Mater” held last month.
