Passage B Near my home lies a small lake surrounded by a walking path (小路).When my children were younger, I took them to this place a few times a week. The experience of walking along the path was truly wonderful, as it allowed us to be close to nature and enjoy its beauty. One autumn day, however, I noticed that the path wasn’t looking so good. It was full of rubbish that other walkers had left along the way. The next time we went there, I took a large bag with me. As we walked along the lake, we picked the rubbish up and put it in the bag. Before putting the bag into the car, I looked back at the lake shining in the sun and the trees full of beautiful red and golden leaves, and I smiled. It took us twice as long as usual to get all the way around the lake. But we felt a sense of satisfaction (满足感) that couldn’t be put into words. We didn’t make the lake more beautiful, but we removed some things that made it less so. In this life we are all more important than we realize. Every single thing we do can add or take away from the beauty of this world. We all need to make wise choices to contribute to the world. We need to do our part and give something back. Maybe it is an act of kindness, a word of love, or even picking up a single piece of rubbish. 14. What did the writer do with his children according to Paragraph 1? A. They walked along the path. B. They picked up the rubbish. C. They drove around the lake. D. They collected large bags. 15. What happened to the path that autumn? A. It was filled with waste. B. It was blocked by trees. C. It was covered with leaves. D. It was destroyed by traffic. 16. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To share personal stories. B. To discuss the problem of rubbish. C. To introduce the beauty of the lake. D. To encourage us to better the world. Passage C When we talk about smart animals, what comes to your mind? Your answer may be dogs or monkeys. Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep. Sheep has powerful face-recognition abilities. Researchers from the University of Cambridge trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of four famous people and pick them out from two different photos. One was a photo of an unknown person and the other was one of the four famous people. If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food but nothing if they did it wrong. After some time, the sheep could connect the food with the correct photos and make the right choice 8 out of 10 times. Then the researchers gave them another task to see if the sheep could recognize the same person from a different angle. The photos showed only the left face or the right face. The animals were still able to recognize them, though their performance dropped by about 15%. In the last test, the researchers showed photos of their trainers along with a number of other people’s faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers 7 out of 10 times. It is not surprising why sheep are smart. ▲ That means they can be useful models to help us understand brain diseases like Huntington’s disease. The study offers another way to learn how these abilities change, especially in sheep who carry the gene mutation (基因突变) that causes Huntington’s disease. 17. Why does the writer mention dogs and monkeys in the first paragraph? A. To tell the difference among animals. B. To show that sheep are as smart as them. C. To make people interested in their brains. D. To discuss the reason for their smartness. 18. How can the sheep get food in Task 1? A. By finding the right food. B. By connecting similar photos. C. By following a famous person. D. By recognizing a correct face. 19. What does the underlined word “angle” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Side. B. Time. C. Culture. D. Group. 20. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. They live long and have big brains. B. They can be raised easily by their trainers. C. Their ability to recognize faces is amazing. D. Little is known about sheep’s other abilities. 21. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Smartest Brains B. Sheep Can Recognize Faces C. Animals Can Treat Diseases D. Famous Faces, Unknown Faces Passage D Roger Federer, a world-famous sports star, quit(放弃) the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you. Nothing is fun all the time. Sticking at something difficult teaches us important skills like perseverance(毅力). However, learning to let go when things aren’t right is important too. Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano any more, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach, or don’t really want, can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life. But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on? Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology(心理学) who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings. He says, “Quitting is never a matter of black and white.” He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something any more. Is it because you’ve argued with a teammate or can’t get on with a new art teacher? Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend. That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on. Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams. If you do decide to give up an activity, Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork, creativity, and exercise. 22. The writer mentions “Roger Federer” in Paragraph 1 to show that ________. A. we should never give up B. we should get away from trouble C. it’s all right to stop and quit D. it’s difficult to win Olympic medals 23. According to Paragraph 2, learning to let go is important because we can ________. A. learn about perseverance B. have enough money to spend C. live a busier and fuller life D. feel more confident in ourselves 24. By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3, Eric Bean means that ________. A. it’s not good to stick at things we don’t like B. we should think twice before quitting an activity C. we don’t have to take exams to show our true abilities D. it’s wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one 25. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Knowing When to Stop B. Working Hard to Move on C. Learning How to Grow up D. Starting Early to Make Changes Passage E 阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 No matter whether you are rich or poor, young or old, everyone needs friends. ____26____ But not everyone is good at making friends. How can we do it? Let me give you some advice. ____27____ If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out to meet people. If you just sit alone, friends are not likely to come to you. Smile at everybody. Smiling can make the distance between you and others much shorter. ____28____ Be friendly to others. People always prefer to make friends with people who are friendly and sincere to them. ____29____ If you are considerate (体贴的) and helpful to others, they will want to make friends with you. As the old saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” However, not every friend could be a good friend. You might develop some bad habits from the bad friends. ____30____ A. Don’t laugh at your friends B. Find places to make new friends. C. Make friends with people online. D. Think more of others and help others more. E. We can share our happiness and sadness with friends. F. So making a good friend is important. G. Smiling can make not only you, but also your friends happy. Section 4 Writing (20’) Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’) Cooperation (合作) comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kindness. It’s easy to tell that kindness is very important. What is kindness then? To be exact, kindness is the quality of being friendly. If we give up our seats on the bus, help a classmate solve a math problem, or welcome a new member into a group activity, we are showing kindness. Actually, these acts are done without expectation of reward (回报). We begin to realise that while helping others, we’re in fact helping ourselves. Showing kindness benefits us in different ways. It helps us know about ourselves. It develops our problem-solving skills. It also gives us the chance to be thankful. We can never imagine the power of one simple act of kindness. It may change our day. And that day may change our week. That week may change the rest of the year—or even our whole life. In short, we rise by lifting others. Here are some teenagers’ acts of kindness. Linda: I sat next to a new student at lunch. I was pleased because I made her day. Kayla: In order to raise money and protect wild animals, I held a singing competition. I was proud of it. Peter: I opened the door for an old lady. I felt happy because I could help other people. 31. What is kindness according to the text? _________________________________________________________________________ 32. List two benefits of showing kindness. _________________________________________________________________________ 33. What did Linda do to show her kindness? _________________________________________________________________________ 34. Have you shown kindness in your daily life? What did you do and how did you feel? (No more than 40 words) _________________________________________________________________________ Part 2 Writing.
