World Rhino Day,held on September 2,is to raise awareness of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth. "Rhinos need our help today,not tomorrow,"Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. "Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Afica.If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year,in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone." "Unfortunately,most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,"Kennedy says."Humans have either poached (animals,or because there are over seven billion of us,we've taken up too much of the world's resources".Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns.They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound,to be used for art,jewelry,and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours. In 1975,the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo,a program through which researchers have collected cell (samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals,including the northern white rhino. 共6页 Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells,they will get greater understanding ofit, and will find ways to increase its numbers. Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as "a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help" At the San Diego Zoo,children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos.But you don't have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.It is observed (around the world,with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos,and enable them to see the animals up close.For more information,go to www.worldrhinoday.Org 24.What do we know about Nola?

D.It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 25.What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2? A.The rhinos'uncertain future. B.The rhinos'strange activities. C.The limited natural resources D.The rare animals in South Africa. 26.What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do? A.Invent new kinds of animals. B.Keep animals from dying out. C.Prevent rhinos from being hunted.D.Raise public awareness of rhinos. 27.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A.To help people know more about animals B.To encourage people to protect rhinos. C.To report special events in San Diego D.To introduce World Rhino Day C Learning a new language is like you're going through the jungle with a knife and creating a path.When you learn two languages at once,you're cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths,which requires twice the discipline（自律)，time and motivation(动力). But it is possible.A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Multilingualism found that Chinese students learning English and Russian at the same time achieved similar mastery in English compared to a control group that just studied English.This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts.A 2017 study 第3页， suggests that bilinguals（双语者)can learn new languages faster than single-language learners. The biggest challenge of learning two languages at the same time is finding enough time and opportunities to study them.But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it,you'll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you're planning to adopt.Becoming professor-level fluent in Polish is going to take a really long time,but if you want to be able to have conversations while you're travelling,that won't take as much time. To help you distribute your time and energy more effectively,and get a better idea of what your study plan will look like,it's important to understand how difficult a particular language is for a native English speaker.While it can take up to 2,200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin,if you grew up speaking English,it'll be easier for you to pick up Czech and German,for example.The easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include Spanish,French,and Portuguese,which require between 600 and 750 hours of class to achieve professional mastery. If it feels too discouraging to go full speed ahead on both languages right away,it might be easier to understand basic grammar and vocabulary for one language before adding another one to the mix. 28.Why can bilingual learners do as well as single-language learners? A.Bilingual learners are cleverer. B.Bilingual learners work harder C.Bilingual learners are more interested in languages. D.Bilingual learners have a better learning environment. 29.What determines the time it takes to learn foreign languages? A.The occasions of using the languages. B.The steps to learn the languages. C.The professors teaching the languages. D.The purpose of learning the languages 30.Which language is hardest for native English speakers according to the text? A.French. B.German. C.Mandarin. D.Portuguese. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Learning Two Languages at Once B.Ways of Leaning a New Language C.Language Talent of Chinese Students D.Difficulty in Learning Language 共6页 D Is looking fashionable (more important than being comfortable?Many people seem to think so,judging (by the things they wear.But fashion is not everything.It is more important to be a healthy and good person. People go to great lengths to be fashionable.Some people think they have to have a certain body type,so they go on extreme,unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition,many women wear uncomfortable fashions,such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet,and tight body shapes that limit (blood flow.Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair colour or hairstyle.Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort on changing what they look like? If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good,it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable.Fashion should not come first.People should put their health and positive image in the first place.What people wear does not say anything about their personalities.Instead of spending hours in choosing a dress,perhaps you should call your friends and do something together,such as playing soccer or badminton.Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry,why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise?By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person. 32.What is the author's attitude to people's putting fashion above health? A.Curious. B.Encouraging.C.Unsupportive.D.Unclear. 33.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The fashion industry is strong B.Beauty products are harmful to health C.People try very hard to be fashionable. D.Both women and men search for beauty 34.Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend? A.Going skiing with friends. B.Starting a new diet with a friend. C.Changing hairstyles every week. D.Shopping for fashionable clothes 35.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To introduce the latest fashion trends B.To tell readers how to remain fashionable C.To advise readers to value health over fashion. D.To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting 第二节阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 第4页， Earthquakes are a terrible natural disaster that will cause lots of danger and damage.In the last few years,we have seen some of the worst earthquakes in history.(36)However,we do get some signs from animals,including dogs! Dogs have been known to warn their owners that dangerous weather was coming.We can take the ways our dog reacts(作出反应)in certain situations to give us a hand in predicting when something like an earthquake may be about to happen. Although the signs of a dog sensing an earthquake aren't very clear,dogs who sense earthquakes will show certain signs before the event actually happens.(37)You know your dog well,so it will not be too challenging to tell when there is something wrong Some dogs will begin to run around in circles and pace up and down crazily.It may appear as if something has frightened them or as if they saw something that made them nervous.(38) On the other hand,dogs will instinctively (look for shelter when they sense bad weather or they feel like they are in danger.(39)Or if they are outside,they may go into their dog house.It is important to note that just because your dog is showing all or some of these signs,it does not mean an earthquake or other natural disaster is about to strike (40)But take their behaviors seriously and do what you feel is right depending on the situation. A.Many dogs can tell smelly gas. B.Your dog may run off to hide under a bed. C.Using dogs to predict earthquakes is not new. D.If there is a coming earthquake,your dog will act strangely. E.They will also often bark for what seems to be no right reason. F.Earthquakes generally come with no warning and are hard to predict.

I’m delighted to learn that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting exhibition to be held in the local art gallery. Now I’m writing to apply for the position. The reasons for my application are as follows. First of all, having been exposed to foreign teachers since a young age, I can communicate freely with others in English. What’s more, years of being monitor makes me a brilliant organizer, which will help a lot to keep the exhibition in order. The most important factor is that my related knowledge will undoubtedly help the audience learn more about the unique Chinese art form. All in all, my sense of responsibility will make me a qualified volunteer. I’d appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration. Yours, Li Hua 【范文参考与欣赏】例文 1 When Mrs. Meredith heard of the idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Then Mrs. Meredith searched the internet and ordered a household popcorn machine. After that, Mrs. Meredith, together with her three children, paid another visit to the family and told them about the popcorn plan. Needless to say, they were deeply moved, especially Bernard who finally found a way to make money for his family. A few days later, the machine was delivered to Mrs. Meredith’s doorstep. And it wasn’t long before they got the hang of using the machine to make popcorn. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Although it was a hard time and things were tight for everybody, Bernard’s business worked out quite well. He carried the popcorn on his small bike, going from door to door to sell it. People were surprised to see such a little, poorly-dressed boy selling popcorn at their doors, but eventually almost all of them would buy a bag or two. It is love that makes the world go round and Bernard felt it deep in his little heart. 例文 2 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Then she said, “You may send him every Saturday morning, if you will pop the corn for him yourselves. John, will you agree to take charge of the work?” “Indeed, I will,” replied John, and he kept his word. Very soon the children were busy popping the corn, while their mother went out to buy the paper bags. When she came back, she brought Bernard with her. The corn was all popped, and the paper bags were filled and arranged in the basket when Bernard arrived. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. And much sooner than could be expected, he returned with an empty basket. Never had he earned so much money before in his life. When he found that it was all to be his, he was so delighted that he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him. People began to watch for the “little pop-corn boy”, and every week he had at least fifty cents to take home, and often more. All this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way he carried it out. 例文 3 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. When the three siblings called on Bernard and shared the ‘big ’ project with the poorboy, Bernard’s face lit up but quickly his excitement faded. “Thank you for your big box of corn, but I don’t have a single penny to buy popcorn and paper bags.” Bernard sighed heavily. Smiling slyly, John produced 50 dollars, which was contributed together by Clara and Harry. Excitement returned to Bernard’s face as he murmured a sincere thank you with a trembling voice. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. With the big box hanging around his neck, Bernard become the No. 1 popcorn boy in the neighborhood. The three siblings would help him with filling and making changes. Together, they sold 500 portions in a single day as the neighbors still showed support despite their own poverty. By the end of the day, Bernard’s corn box was emptied but his cash pot was full of notes and coins.Yet, he knew, from the bottom of his heart, that it was not just money, but also love, sacrifice and fraternity, that filled his pot. 听力稿 Text 1 雨天选择步行回家 M: If you bike through the rain, you will get all wet.

We have a short break in the morning where I catch up with my friends. Lunch is at 12:00, and I usually eat with my classmates in the school cafeteria. [19] The food is pretty good, and we have a lot of choices. In the afternoon, we have more classes like history, geography, and science. School ends at 5:00 p.m., but I often stay for extra-curricular activities. [20] I joined the art club and the basketball team. These activities have helped me make new friends and feel more connected to the school community. The workload in high school is heavier than in middle school, and I am still getting used to the longer hours. However, my teachers and classmates are very supportive, which makes the transition easier. I miss you a lot and hope we can meet during the holidays. I can’t wait to tell you more about my school life in person. Take care and write back soon! Best wishes, Liu Xin 第 3页，共 6 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
