At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) 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 Africa. 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 (细胞) samples from more than 8, 000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, 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. 4. What do we know about Nola? A It was a baby white rhino. B. It was one of the last of its kind. C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya. D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 【答案】4 B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者在文章里介绍了白犀牛的数量在急剧减少，与此引出对此类濒危动物的担忧，分析了出现濒危动物的原因并呼吁人们增强动物保护意识。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 的At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. (在她死的时候，她是世界上仅存的四头白犀牛之一)可知，Nola是世界上为数不多的仅存的白犀牛之一。B. It was one of the last of its kind.(它是该物种的最后的同类之一)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的 "Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,''…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.''可知，犀牛现在就需要我们的帮助，如果犀牛继续以现在的速度减少。那么很快犀牛就会灭绝了。说明Jane Kennedy对犀牛的未来很担心。A. The rhinos' uncertain future.(犀牛不确定的未来)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.可知，科学家希望通过这个项目，研究犀牛等濒危动物的细胞，对这些动物有更深的理解，最终能够阻止这些濒危动物灭绝，增加这些动物的数量。由此推测，the Frozen Zoo的目标是阻止动物灭绝。B. Keep animals from dying out.(阻止动物灭绝)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据本段的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.( Jane Kennedy将世界犀牛日描述为“一场庆祝犀牛的活动”同时发起一场宣传活动，让全世界的人都知道犀牛需要我们的帮助)可知，本段主要介绍了世界犀牛节的有关信息。D. To introduce World Rhino Day.(为了介绍世界犀牛日)符合以上说法，故选D项。 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. 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 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 traveling, that won’t take as much time. To help you distribute (分配) 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Which language is hardest for native English speakers according to the text? A. French. B. German. C. Mandarin. D. Portuguese. 11. 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 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究发现，同时学习两种语言不但能够和单一语言学习者一样掌握这门语言，而且可以比单一语言学习者学习得更快。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“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.(当你同时学习两种语言时，你是在丛林中开辟两条道路，这需要加倍的自律、时间和动力)”及第二段中“This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts.(这可能是因为他们已经付出了巨大的努力)”可知，同时学习两门语言的人已经付出的努力更大。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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.(但是要知道需要投入多少努力和资源，你需要决定你想要通过计划采用的语言实现什么目标)”可知，决定学习外语花费多长时间取决于学习它们的目的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(虽然学习阿拉伯语和普通话可能需要2200个小时，但如果你是说英语长大的，那么学习捷克语和德语就会更容易。对于以英语为母语的人来说，最容易学习的语言包括西班牙语、法语和葡萄牙语，这些语言需要600到750个小时的课程才能掌握)”可知，对于英语为母语的人来说，普通话是最难学习的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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 suggests that bilinguals (双语者) can learn new languages faster than single-language learners.(2020年发表在《国际多语言学杂志》上的一项研究发现，与只学习英语的对照组相比，同时学习英语和俄语的中国学生对英语的掌握程度相似。这可能是因为他们已经付出了巨大的努力。2017年的一项研究表明，双语者比单语学习者学习新语言的速度更快)”结合文章主要说明了一项研究发现同时学习两种语言不但能够和单一语言学习者一样掌握这门语言，而且可以比单一语言学习者学习得更快。故A选项“同时学习两种语言”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) 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 (限制) 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. 12 What is the author’s attitude to people’s putting fashion above health? A. Curious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就时尚和舒适展开讨论，劝说读者时尚远不如健康和舒适更重要，并且提出了健康生活方式的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚不是一切。做一个健康善良的人更重要)”可知，作者对人们把时尚置于健康之上的态度是不支持的。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段主要内容以及“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. (人们不遗余力地追求时尚。有些人认为他们必须有某种体型，所以他们采取极端的、不健康的饮食来改变他们的身体。)”可知，本段主要介绍了人们非常努力地追求时尚。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(与其严格控制饮食，强迫自己保持饥饿，为什么不吃一些健康的食物，然后锻炼呢?通过做这些事情，你可以保持健康的生活方式，真正成长为一个人)”可知，与花费时间精力以及牺牲健康而换取时尚相比，作者认为应该吃健康食物，和朋友一起锻炼身体。由此推知，作者可能推荐和朋友一起去滑雪这项活动。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚不是一切。做一个健康善良的人更重要)”以及第三段“Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place.(时尚不应该是第一位的。人们应该把健康和正面形象放在首位)”可知，本文指出时尚远不如健康和舒适更重要。由此推知，作者写作本文的目的是劝说读者重视健康胜过重视时尚。故选C。 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 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. ____16____ However, we do get some signs from animals, including dogs! Dogs have been known to warm their owners that dangerous weather was coming. We can take the ways our dog reacts (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. ____17____ 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. ____18____. On the other hand, dogs will instinctively look for shelter when they sense bad weather or they feel like they are in danger. ____19____. Or if they are outside, they may go into their dog house. It is important to 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. ____20____. 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 or 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. G. There may be other reasons dogs may act this way or appear afraid for seemingly no reason. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了狗可以在地震来临前预测地震，介绍了狗的一些反常行为。 【16题详解】 根据后文“However, we do get some signs from animals, including dogs!(然而，我们确实从动物那里得到了一些迹象，包括狗！)”可知，后文与本句构成转折，指出狗可以预测地震，可知本句是在说明地震难以预测的事实。故F选项“地震通常没有预警，很难预测”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“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.(你很了解你的狗，所以分辨它什么时候有问题不会太有挑战性。有些狗会开始绕着圈子跑，疯狂地来回踱步。看起来好像有什么东西让他们害怕了，或者好像他们看到了什么让他们紧张的东西)”可知，后文列举了一些地震前狗的反常行为，故D选项“如果地震即将来临，你的狗会表现得很奇怪”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“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.(有些狗会开始绕着圈子跑，疯狂地来回踱步。看起来好像有什么东西让他们害怕了，或者好像他们看到了什么让他们紧张的东西)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在说明狗的反常行为。故E选项“它们也会经常为一些似乎没有正确的理由而吠叫”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“On the other hand, dogs will instinctively look for shelter when they sense bad weather or they feel like they are in danger.(另一方面，当狗狗感觉天气不好或处于危险之中时，它们会本能地寻找庇护所)”可知，上文提到狗会本能地寻找庇护所，可知本句是对上文庇护所的举例说明。故B选项“你的狗可能会跑或藏在床底下”符合语境，且与下文“Or if they are outside, they may go into their dog house. (或者，如果它们在外面，它们可能会走进他们的狗窝)”构成并列关系。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“But take their behaviors seriously and do what you feel is right depending on the situation.(但是认真对待他们的行为，根据情况做你认为正确的事情)”结合上一段说明了狗会寻找庇护所来躲避地震，可知本句是在总结狗可能有其它的原因会躲避或看起来害怕，与后文构成转折，故G选项“可能还有其他原因，狗会这样做，或者看起来毫无理由地害怕”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（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） It was the month of September and the autumn break was about to begin in a few weeks’ time.

Noticed 44. relevant 45. but 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述导演李卓群通过创新方式，让传统京剧焕发新生。她的作品《颜真卿》结合多媒体技术，既尊重传统又吸引年轻观众，获得广泛好评。 【36题详解】 考查名词。句意：李卓群尊重传统，并且对创新有着大胆的追求，他证明了中国传统戏曲可以被转化为一个充满活力的舞台，以新颖的方式表达永恒的情感。介词“for”后面需要接名词作宾语。“innovate”是动词，其名词形式是 innovation（创新）。故填innovation。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：李卓群尊重传统，并且对创新有着大胆的追求，他证明了中国传统戏曲可以被转化为一个充满活力的舞台，以新颖的方式表达永恒的情感。这是一个定语从句，从句的主语是“timeless emotions”（永恒的情感），谓语是“express”。情感是被表达的，所以要用被动语态。句子的时态是一般现在时，主语是复数。故填are expressed。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在与国家大剧院的合作下，李卓群的最新京剧作品《颜真卿》于周三首演，演出阵容由北京京剧院的艺术家们组成。句子的谓语是“was performed”，这里需要一个非谓语动词作状语。“feature”（以……为特色/由……主演）与主语“Li’s latest Peking Opera production”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词 featuring。故填featuring。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：该剧以唐朝为背景，讲述了颜真卿为国家做出牺牲的故事。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是“a man”（指人），关系代词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：尽管颜真卿以书法作品闻名，但他在 75 岁时在战场上对抗腐败的勇气触动了现代观众的心灵。这是一个强调句型“It is... that...”。去掉强调结构后，句子的主语是“Yan’s courage”（颜真卿的勇气），这是不可数名词，谓语动词要用单数形式。句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，所以填touches。故填touches。 【41题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：借助多媒体技术的支持，李卓群将这位历史人物栩栩如生地呈现在舞台上，创造了一场视觉盛宴，既丰富了戏剧内容，又尊重了京剧的核心传统。With the support of... 是固定搭配，意为“在……的支持下”，句首首字母大写。故填With。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：李卓群说：“每个流派都为表演带来了独特的韵味。flavor（韵味）在这里是可数名词单数，表示“一种独特的韵味”。“unique”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：李卓群作品受到了年轻观众的青睐，证明了其成功之处。句子的谓语是“proves”，这里需要一个非谓语动词作状语。“notice”（注意到）与主语“Li’s approach”（李的方法）之间是被动关系（方法被年轻观众注意到），所以用过去分词 Noticed。故填Noticed。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：舞台效果令人惊叹，而且这个故事与我们当今的时代如此紧密相关。feel 是系动词，后面需要接形容词作表语。“relevance”是名词，其形容词形式是relevant。be relevant to 意为“与…… 相关”。故填relevant。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：它有些古老，但又被赋予了新的生命。根据句意“它有些古老，但又被赋予了新的生命”，前后两个形容词“old”和“new”之间是转折关系，所以填连词 but。故填but。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，暑假在伦敦作为交换生学习，得知当地美术馆要举办中国画展。请写一封信申请(apply for)做志愿者，内容包括： 1．写信目的：2．个人优势：3．能做的事情。 注意：1.词数100左右; 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯; 3.结束语已为你写好。 Dear Sir/Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir/Madam, I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China during this summer vacation.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?

So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了善良的梅雷迪斯一家住在一个小社区里。他们想帮助一个贫困的家庭。那家的男主人生病卧床,女主人要照顾丈夫无法外出赚钱，家中的小男孩伯纳德也做不了什么事情，生活十分困难。后来梅雷迪斯的孩子想出一个主意，制作爆米花让伯纳德去卖爆米花挣钱故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“梅雷迪思太太听说约翰的主意后，也觉得很好。”可知，第一段可描写梅雷迪思和孩子们一起制作爆米花的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一切准备就绪后，伯纳德开始了他的新生意。”可知，第二段可描写伯纳德卖光了爆米花并且挣到了很多钱，以及表达对梅雷迪思一家的感恩之情。 2.续写线索：梅雷迪思太太觉得主意很好——决定制作白爆米花——拿着爆米花去了伯纳德家——伯纳德开始了他的新生意——挣到了很多钱——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回到家：got home/went back home/arrive home ②.开始：started out/set out ③.挣钱：earn money/make money 情绪类 ①.感激的：grateful/thankful/ appreciative ②.高兴的：happy /glad 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Children in Brazil School The school year runs from February to December. Children attend (上学) school for about four hours in the morning or the afternoon. About a quarter of children in Brazil do not attend school at all. Play Football is the most popular sport. Brazil’s beautiful beaches also make swimming and volleyball popular. Family Brazilian families are often large. Nearly a third of the population is under eighteen! Children in France School The school day begins from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with a two-hour lunch break. Schools close on Wednesday and Sunday, and are closed for a half day on Saturday. Play Football, bicycling and tennis are favorite sports in France. In some areas, pelote, a traditional ball game, is also very popular. Family Most French mothers work. The majority of preschool (幼儿园) children attend day care centres known as crèches. France has laws about naming children and all names have to be chosen from an official list. Children in Japan School Schools in Japan are very competitive (竞争的). Even pre-schoolers may attend “cramming (填鸭式教学的) schools” to prepare for exams. There is a summer break about six weeks, but the children have homework during this time. Play Comic books have been popular in Japan since the 1700s. Comics now account for about 40% of all published materials in Japan. Kite flying is enjoyed by people of every age. Family Homes in Japan are small on average. The typical family of four lives in five small rooms. Most fathers in Japan work long hours. As a result, some children only see their fathers on weekends or holidays. 1. What kind of sport is very popular in France? ① Kite flying. ② Bicycling. ③ Football. ④ Pelote. A. ②③④ B. ①②③ C. ①④ D. ①②③④ 2. What is a crèche in France? A. Places with beautiful beaches. B. The name of the place where French mothers work. C. A day care centre for preschool children. D. Cramming schools to improve children’s exam results. 3. In Japan, many children ________. A. like to read comic books B. write their names on an official list C. only see their fathers on weekdays D. do not attend school B Nola (August 21, 1974—November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) 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 Africa. 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 (细胞) samples from more than 8, 000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, 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. 4. What do we know about Nola? A. It was a baby white rhino. B. It was one of the last of its kind. C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya. D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 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 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 traveling, that won’t take as much time. To help you distribute (分配) 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. Which language is hardest for native English speakers according to the text? A. French. B. German. C. Mandarin. D. Portuguese. 11. 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 D Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) 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 (限制) 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. 12. What is the author’s attitude to people’s putting fashion above health? A. Curious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear. 13. 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. 14. 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.

In the last few years, we have seen some of the worst earthquakes in history. ____16____ However, we do get some signs from animals, including dogs! Dogs have been known to warm their owners that dangerous weather was coming. We can take the ways our dog reacts (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. ____17____ 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. ____18____. On the other hand, dogs will instinctively look for shelter when they sense bad weather or they feel like they are in danger. ____19____. Or if they are outside, they may go into their dog house. It is important to 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. ____20____. 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 or 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.
