A. what B. how C. that D. which 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：随着高质量的发展，天津面貌一新。它不是以前的样子了。分析句子可知，空处引导表语从句，从句缺少表语成分，描述事物，用连接代词what引导从句。故选A项。 14.

The number of medical schools reached 18 in the early 1990s and __________ around that level ever since.

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. 41. Joshua’s grandma gave him a $20 bill to let him ______. A. buy food for the homeless B. help some people in need C. celebrate his fifth birthday D. buy a birthday cake for her 42. According to the first two paragraphs, Joshua is a boy who ______. A. used to help others B. was sympathetic C. had little pocket money D. was indifferent 43. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence “He enlisted his family”? A. He persuaded his family to help him. B. He asked his family for advice. C. He was encouraged by his family. D. He disagreed with his family. 44. The Joshua’s Heart Foundation ______. A. was created by Joshua and his teacher B. organizes the homeless community C. mainly offers education to the homeless D. mainly offers food to needy people 45. From the passage we can learn that ______. A. Joshua grew up in a rich family B. Joshua started the foundation at the age of five C. Joshua would help more people in the future D. more than 20,000 homeless people have taken cooking classes 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Joshua Williams(约书亚·威廉姆斯)五岁的时候，用祖母给他的20美元生日礼物帮助了一个无家可归的人，从此改变了自己的生活，开始帮助成千上万的有需要的人的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His journey began with a $20 birthday gift from his grandmother.(他的旅程始于祖母给他的20美元生日礼物)”可知，约书亚的祖母给了他20美元是庆祝他的生日。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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.(那天早上，在去购物中心的路上，五岁的孩子开始思考用这些钱能买到的所有东西。这时，约书亚从车窗向外望去，发现一个无家可归的人站在街角。那一刻永远地改变了他的一生。约书亚马上把自己的20美元给了那个人，希望这能起一点作用)”可推知，约书亚是非常有同情心的。故选B。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“At just five years old, Joshua knew he would need help in order to make his dream — to wipe out hunger — a reality.(年仅五岁的约书亚就知道，为了实现他的梦想——消除饥饿——他需要帮助)”可知，他需要帮助。由此推知，划线句“He enlisted his family”意思是“他说服家人帮助他”，于是有了下文的“很快他们就开始每周六给无家可归的人送饭”。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With the success of his work, Joshua eventually created the Joshua’s Heart Foundation to continue his mission of feeding the homeless.( 随着工作的成功，约书亚最终创建了约书亚之心基金会，继续他为无家可归者提供食物的使命) ”可知，约书亚之心基金会主要为有需要的人提供食物。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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. (在过去的八年里，约书亚和他的团队已经为超过2万人提供了食物，他们仍在努力增加这个数字)”可推知，约书亚将来会帮助更多的人。故选C。 C Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. 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. 46. 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. 47. 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. 48. 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 49. 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 50. The author develops the passage mainly ________. A. by raising questions B. by following time order C. by providing examples D. by analyzing the data 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物之间也会交流，不管是同一种类动物内部还是不同种类动物之间都可能存在交流。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段前两句“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.(说到听觉交流，并非每个物种的成员都是一样的。不同地方的动物经常用不同的方言说话。)”可知，本段介绍即便是同物种直接也会存在方言。故选A。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(一项研究表明，鬣蜥蜴并不通过发出声音来交流，但它们发育良好的耳朵帮助它们很好地听到捕蝇鸟(一种小型鸟类)的警告叫声。这两个物种除了共同的栖息地和天敌之外，没有任何共同之处。所以当鬣蜥蜴听到一只捕蝇鸟向其他捕蝇鸟发出危险的信号时，它也知道要警惕敌人的到来。)”可推断，这两种动物有共同天敌，故相处融洽。故选D。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前一句“However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe,(然而，随着噪音污染在全球范围内成为一个严重的问题)”以及下文所举例子“Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin.(在过去的一个世纪里，航运的增加极大地影响了海洋盆地周围鲸鱼歌声的传播。)”可知，噪音污染已经严重影响了动物之间有效的交流。所以many animals are now under fire意为“它们无法有效交流”之意。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.(一些物种不得不改变它们的唱歌方式，发出更响亮的声音，以便在噪音中被听到。它们的新声音通常会导致更陌生和更糟糕的歌唱风格，雌鸟肯定会觉得不那么性感。)”可知，由于噪音污染，雄鸟很难吸引雌鸟。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，每一段都是先提出一个现象，然后再举例子来证明或说明这个现象，所以作者主要通过举例子来写文章。故选C。 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. 51. 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. 52. 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. 53. 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. 54. 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. 55. 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. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述使一个人成为英雄需要的品质，并呼吁大家要努力成为自己的英雄。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(当你听到“英雄”这个词时，脑海中首先浮现的是什么形象？是那种身披斗篷、能在空中翱翔的超级英雄吗？在银幕上就有像《复仇者联盟》中那些超级英雄那样的英雄形象，而在我们的日常生活中也有平凡的英雄存在)”可知，第一段中的这些问题用于引入主题。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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”.(无论是那些获得冠军的运动员、开创性的科学家、通过键盘改变世界的程序员、冲进燃烧建筑的消防员、创作出精彩作品的艺术家，还是那些在废墟中寻找生还迹象的搜救犬，都可以被称为“英雄”)”可知，B选项“一位画家创作出了价值数百万美元的艺术作品”不能被认为是英雄。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““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.(美国AAPPHC文艺复兴中心的心理学家尼克·卡登说：“我们塑造的英雄们通常都是超越职责的人。他们做的事情非同寻常。”)”可知，尼克·卡登认为，即使没有人要求，英雄也会作伟大的事情。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段“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.(这些普通人在我们的日常生活中起到了维护秩序的作用。而且，在某些紧急情况下，这些普通人也会展现出勇气和英勇，去帮助那些身处困境的陌生人)”可知，当出现紧急情况时，普通人的勇气可能会被激发出来。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(最重要的是，你应该努力成为自己的英雄。要勇敢、诚实，成为一个有道德的人。一旦你成为了自己的英雄，你就能真正地去做任何你决心要做的事情)”可知，作者接下来要谈论如何成为自己的英雄。 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 (挖掘机) 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. 56. What did Zhao find after he finished eating? (No more than 4 words) ________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did Wang Qingjun suggest asking his son to rescue the little girl? (No more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________ 58. What’s the underlined part “went viral” in Para. 1 probably mean? (No more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 59. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of the boy’s action? And why? (No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. He lost his daughter. 57. Because the diameter of the well was far too small for rescue workers to enter. 58. Became popular. 59. The boy successfully rescued the girl. 60. Brave and selfless. He risked danger to save a stranger. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述一段走红短视频记录少年冒险下深井，成功救出被困小女孩的暖心救援故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“After he finished eating at a restaurant and was ready to go home, he discovered he couldn’t find his little girl.(他在一家餐馆吃完饭准备回家后，发现他找不到他的小女儿了)”可知，赵先生饭后发现小女儿不见了。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“However, it was discovered that the diameter of the well was just 0.3 meters, far too small for rescue workers to enter.(然而人们发现这口井的直径仅有0.3米，救援人员根本无法进入)”以及第四段“Wang Qingjun, a member of the rescue team, suggested that the team allow his son, Wang Mingran, to try and enter the well.(救援队成员王清军建议让他的儿子王明然尝试进入井中)”可知，井口太小，成年人无法进入，他儿子体型合适可以进入救援。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第五段中“One detail in the video that moved many netizens...(视频里打动众多网民的一处细节……)”可知，有很多人看过这段视频，由此可知，这段救援短视频在社交媒体爆火，可推测went viral表示“走红、爆红”。 【59题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段“Wang dressed only in underwear was hung upside down and lowered into the well on that cold fall night... the little girl was finally pulled to safety.(在那个寒冷的秋夜，只穿着内衣的王明然被倒挂放入井中……小女孩最终被安全救出)”可知，本段主要讲述男孩成功救出被困女孩。 【60题详解】 开放问答题。结合文章少年不顾危险、勇敢救人的事迹作答即可。例如可回答：Brave and selfless. He risked danger to save a stranger. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是李华，学校英语社团将举办以“My Hero in My Heart”为主题的演讲活动。请你写一篇英文演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 你心目中的英雄是谁（可写身边普通人、父母、老师、医护、消防员、科学家等）； 2. 他/她身上有哪些品质让你敬佩； 3. 你从他/她身上学到了什么。 注意：1. 词数不少于100； 2.可增加适当细节，以使行文连贯。 My Hero in My Heart Dear teachers and fellow students, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for listening. 【答案】My Hero in My Heart Dear teachers and fellow students, Today I’d like to share my hero in my heart.

While it’s no surprise to see Harry Potter and The Hunger Games series on top, this year’s list also highlights some writers we weren’t as familiar with. For example, John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, appears five times in the top 100. Summer, like youth, passes quickly.

To Kill a Mockingbird Author Harper Lee explores racial tensions in the fictional “tired old town” of Maycomb, Ala., through the eyes of 6-year-old Scout Finch.

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. 41. Joshua’s grandma gave him a $20 bill to let him ______. A. buy food for the homeless B. help some people in need C. celebrate his fifth birthday D. buy a birthday cake for her 42.

What is the meaning of the underlined sentence “He enlisted his family”? A. He persuaded his family to help him. B. He asked his family for advice. C. He was encouraged by his family. D.

Joshua would help more people in the future D. more than 20,000 homeless people have taken cooking classes C Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. 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. 46. 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. 47. 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. 48. 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 49. 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 50. 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. 51. 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. 52. 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. 53. 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. 54. 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. 55. 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 (挖掘机) 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. 56. What did Zhao find after he finished eating?
