B Joshua williams was five years old when something came into his heart that would change his life and the lives of thousands of others. His journey began with. a $ 20 birthday gift from his grandmother. She said he could use it any way he wanted. On his way to the mall that morning, the five-year-old began thinking about all the things he could buy with the money. Then, looking out of the car window, Joshua noticed a homeless man standing on the street corner. That moment changed his life forever. Joshua instantly gave the man his $ 20 bill in the hope that it would make a small difference. With this gesture, Joshua discovered his life’s calling to help the needy. At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality. He enlisted his family, and soon they were delivering meals to the homeless every Saturday. Joshua began to realize, however, that he needed a “bigger, better and easier way to distribute food.” He and his family came up with the idea to have the homeless community come to a centralized distribution point. On their first distribution day, Joshua and his team of helpers provided more than 300 families with food. They continued distributing groceries this way every month for two years. With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless. Now, several years later, his foundation continues to provide food and cooking classes for needy families. Joshua and his team have helped feed over 20,000 people over the past eight years and they’re still working to increase that number. Each bag of groceries represents a brighter day in the lives of these individuals and families, and it all began with one young person who saw a need and decided to make a difference. 56.

Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries — even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog’s tail — are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom. When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects. For example, one study shows that blue whales produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way. And what about those birds that live on the border between territories (领地) of different songbirds? They are often able to communicate in a way accepted by each of their groups of neighbors. Communication between different species can play important roles as well. One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound. but their well-developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies. too. However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many animals are now under fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy. 61. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Various dialects can also happen to the same animals. B. Animals communicate with each other in different ways. C. Different animals have different ways of communicating. D. Animals from different places may make the same sound. 62. What can we learn about iguanas? A. They communicate by singing B. They are born with poor hearing. C. They often bring bad luck to humans. D. They get along well with flycatchers. 63. By saying “many animals are now under fire”, the author means ________. A. they refuse to communicate with others B. they cannot communicate effectively C. they are now in danger of dying out D. they don’t make a sound any more 64. Due to noise pollution, songbirds ________. A. find it hard to attract the opposite sex B. produce more songs that sound sad C. begin to communicate by dancing D. can not find food easily any more 65. The author develops the passage mainly ________. A. by raising questions B. by following time order C. by providing examples D. by analyzing the data D What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “hero”? Is it someone who wears a cape and can fly in the air? There are onscreen heroes like the superheroes in Avengers, and there are also everyday heroes in our lives. Whether they are championship athletes, groundbreaking scientists, programmers changing the world with a keyboard, firefighters rushing into burning buildings, artists creating amazing images, or rescue dogs searching for signs of life, they can be described as “heroes”. But what makes a person a hero? In general, a hero is someone selfless, courageous and brave. These qualities drive heroes to help others in times of need, even if they are scared. You can count on them to be there for you if something bad happens. “The people that we set up as heroes are people that generally go above and beyond the call of duty. They do things that are extraordinary,” said Nick Carden, a psychologist at the AAPHC Renaissance Center in the US. However, why are some people heroic? Nick Carden said that heroes are made. “They probably are people that have been influenced by and have been helped by or have been modeled or raised to have those as values.” Ordinary people — just like you and me — are heroes in their own way, simply just by doing their part for their families and communities. Cleaners, doctors, journalists, delivery workers, nurses, and bus drivers — the list goes on and on. These ordinary people help keep order in our day-to-day lives. And, sometimes, when there are emergencies, these ordinary people show courage and bravery to help complete strangers in need. Being a hero is a universal attribute (属性) of human nature. “The decision to act heroically is a choice that many of us will be called upon to make at some point in time.” “Heroism becomes something that seems in the range of possibilities for every person, perhaps inspiring more of us to answer that call,” heroism researchers Zeno Franco and Philip Zimbardo wrote in Greater Good Magazine. Most importantly, you should try to become your own hero. Be courageous, honest, and a person with integrity, Once you are your own hero, you can truly do anything you set your mind to. 66. What is the function of the questions in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To present the argument. C. To define the hero. D. To offer basic information. 67. According to paragraph 2, which CANNOT be considered a hero? A. A guide dog accompanying its blind owner. B. A painter creating artwork that is worth millions of dollars. C. A programmer developing an algorithm which can increase working efficiency. D. A scientist developing a new medicine that can cure a certain disease. 68. What is Nick Carden’s opinion about heroes? A. They do brave and good things based on their responsibilities. B. They are different from normal people because they possess extraordinary abilities. C. They do great things to help others even if no one requires them to do so. D. They can do great things that are beyond people’s expectations. 69. What can be inferred from the text? A. Normal people who do their duty to their families or society are responsible. B. Only the people who are born with the attribute of being a hero can be heroes. C. As heroism is a quality rooted in human nature, everyone will help people in need. D. When emergencies occur, the courage of ordinary people could be inspired. 70. What is the author most likely to talk about next? A. Reasons why having integrity is important for our life. B. The most important qualities of heroes. C. Things we can do to become our own heroes. D. Figures we can learn from to become heroes. 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第五部分：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） 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 An 8-minute short video went viral on Chinese social media recently. The video begins with a man surnamed Zhao, who took his daughter to visit relatives in November 2019. After he finished eating at a restaurant and was ready to go home, he discovered he couldn’t find his little girl. As people set out to look for her, someone soon discovered that the girl had fallen down an abandoned well at the restaurant. Zhao called for help and the local rescue departments as well as medical workers arrived at the scene in a short time. However, it was discovered that the diameter of the well was just 0.3 meters, far too small for rescue workers to enter. Since no adults at the scene were thin enough to enter the well and pull the girl out, rescuers changed their strategy and brought in four excavators (发掘机) to start digging, but they had to move slowly in order to avoid hurting the young girl. Wang Qingjun, a member of the rescue team, suggested that the team allow his son, Wang Mingran, to try and enter the well. After learning the danger that the little girl was in, the teen boy left for the scene with his mom as quickly as he could. One detail in the video that moved many netizens (网民) is when a rescue worker asks the younger Wang how old he is, he replies that he is 17 years old; but with a look from his mom, he immediately changes his answer to 15 and then looks down slightly embarrassed. After confirming that Wang Mingran was healthy and that he could fit in the well, rescuers quickly showed him how to correctly tie the rescue rope around the girl and call for help if he gets in trouble. By that time, the girl had been trapped for four hours. Wang dressed only in underwear was hung upside down and lowered into the well on that cold fall night. His first few attempts to rescue the girl failed, but he continued trying and on his sixth attempt he was able to successfully tie the rope around the girl’s body. After 30 minutes from his first attempt, the little girl was finally pulled to safety. 71. What did Zhao find after he finished eating?
