He was completely focused on his task and didn’t look up at anyone passing by. We kept noticing him and wondered what he could be doing. I thought he was crushing stones to make sand, but why would he do that? Finally we spoke to him. He was breaking the leftover bread into pieces. He wanted to make feed for the birds that came here every morning. The large pieces of Indian bread would be difficult for the birds to eat, so he crushed them into a fine powder. Every night, after reaching his apartment from his job as a designer, he collected leftover bread from his roommates. Then he spent two hours crushing each piece and making a neat pile for the birds. He also added some fresh water and rice, which he bought at the supermarket with his own salary. When we asked him why he did that, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s just a little business. I can keep the leftover bread from going into the trash cans, and the birds can get food.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Volunteer Volunteer with Project HOPE Project HOPE delivers necessary medicines and supplies, health knowledge and medical training to save lives around the world — and our volunteers are key to our work.

He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906. After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work. After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey. He was particularly interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cézanne. After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters. Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His mastery of a skill of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of present painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934. 24. Why did Morandi’s early love of art worry his father? A. It took Morandi too much time. B. His father didn’t have money to support Morandi. C. His father wanted Morandi to follow in his footsteps. D. There were no suitable art teachers for Morandi. 25. What did Morandi do in 1913? A. He tried his father’s business. B. He started his university life. C. He traveled with his father. D. He finished his study in school. 26. What played a leading role in shaping Morandi as a successful modern artist? A. His love for his family. B. His tours around Italy. C. His middle-class background. D. His exposure to his father’s business. 27. How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By asking questions. B. By providing examples. C. By following time order. D. By making a comparison. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了意大利著名画家Giorgio Morandi的生平。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business.(他早年对艺术的热爱让他的父亲很不高兴，他想让儿子和他一起做出口生意)”可知，Morandi的父亲之所以对他的艺术热情感到烦恼，是因为他的父亲想让他子从父业，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale.(1913年从博洛尼亚美术学院毕业后，Morandi继续在意大利各地旅行，特别是参加威尼斯双年展)”可知，Morandi于1913年毕业。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey.(Morandi继续在意大利各地旅行，特别是参加威尼斯双年展。这些旅行最终被证明是重要的，因为Morandi接触画家的大部分机会都来自于旅行中发表的艺术作品)”可推断，在意大利旅行的经历奠定了Morandi的艺术成就的基石。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906.(Morandi在1906年尝试经营，但没有成功)”、第二段中“After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908(此后，Morandi于1907年进入博洛尼亚美术学院。1908年，他的父亲突然去世，在朋友的帮助下，他继续学习)”、第三段中“After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913(1913年从博洛尼亚美术学院毕业后)”、第四段中“After Morandi finished his traveling(Morandi结束了他的旅行后)”以及最后一段中“And he was named ‘one of the greatest painters living’ by Roberto Longhi in 1934.(1934年，他被罗伯托·隆吉评为‘在世最伟大的画家之一’)”可知，文章通过时间线介绍了意大利艺术家Giorgio Morandi的成长之路。故选C。 C Every school has students who stand out for their abilities and their eagerness (渴望) to learn. In Mexico, a school created a program to work with them. In 2019. both teachers Lotta Andersson and John Rennie got the idea to provide learning opportunities for students with a desire for knowledge. They are English coordinators (协调员) in the school. “We want to have a program to encourage students who really have the abilities and the interests to learn more and continue accepting challenges,” Andersson said during a recent interview. Students in the program, which was called Learning Challenges, met with the teachers about once a month. Andersson and Rennie would help us choose research topics. We then worked with the teachers to find books, interview subjects and Internet sources, While in Learning Challenges, I gave statements on European culture and the fashion industry. When asked what skills students had formed in the program, which ended in June 2020 because of the limits of a common disease. Andersson said, “They had learned to ask questions, be more open-minded and see things from different angles (角度). Also, they mastered the skills-reflecting more, acting actively, and learning not to put limits on themselves.” A student, Yihane Abed, carried out research on the sun, the moon, stars, planets, etc, while in Learning Challenges. “The skills I developed were teamwork and the ways to do research and give a good presentation,” she said. Andersson and Rennie continue to help students pursue their love of learning. “The program doesn’t exist formally, but as an important part of the culture at school, it is still needed,” Andersson said. “There is much more difference, not only for students who need extra help, but also for those who are higher achievers.” 28. What’s the purpose of creating Learning Challenges? A. To help some students learn more. B. To guide students to work out effectively. C. To improve students’ interest in visiting Europe. D. To encourage English students to help others. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Methods that students used in the program. B. Abilities that students got from the program. C. Difficulties that students met in the program. D. Topics that students selected from the program. 30. Which kind of research did Yihane Abed carry out? A. The universe. B. Teamwork C. The fashion industry. D. Travelling. 31. What does Andersson think of the program? A. Tough. B. Formal. C. Necessary. D. different. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了墨西哥一所学校创建的项目，该项目用来激励那些真正有能力和兴趣的学生学习更多知识，并继续接受挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“We want to have a program to encourage students who really have the abilities and the interests to learn more and continue accepting challenges,” Andersson said during a recent interview.( Andersson在最近的一次采访中说：“我们希望有一个项目来激励那些真正有能力和兴趣的学生学习更多知识，并继续接受挑战。”)”可知，该项目是为了激励那些真正有能力和兴趣的学生学习更多知识。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“When asked what skills students had formed in the program, which ended in June 2020 because of the limits of a common disease. Andersson said, “They had learned to ask questions, be more open-minded and see things from different angles (角度). Also, they mastered the skills-reflecting more, acting actively, and learning not to put limits on themselves.”(由于一种常见疾病的限制，该项目于2020年6月结束，当被问及学生们在该项目中形成了哪些技能时。Andersson说：“他们学会了问问题，更加开放，从不同的角度看问题。同时，他们也掌握了这些技能——更多地反思，更积极地行动，学会不给自己设限。”)”可知，第三段主要介绍了学生从项目中获得的能力。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“A student, Yihane Abed, carried out research on the sun, the moon, stars, planets, etc, while in Learning Challenges. “The skills I developed were teamwork and the ways to do research and give a good presentation,” she said.(学生Yihane Abed在学习挑战中对太阳、月亮、恒星、行星等进行了研究。她说：“我培养的技能是团队合作，以及做研究和做好演讲的方法。”)”可知，Yihane Abed进行的研究和宇宙相关。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The program doesn’t exist formally, but as an important part of the culture at school, it is still needed,” Andersson said. “There is much more difference, not only for students who need extra help, but also for those who are higher achievers.”(Andersson说：“这个项目并不正式存在，但作为学校文化的重要组成部分，它仍然是需要的。不仅对那些需要额外帮助的学生，而且对那些成绩优异的学生来说，影响要大得多。”)”可推知，Andersson认为这个项目的存在非常有必要。故选C。 D For years, divers (潜水员) have reported unusual attacks from sea snakes. This behaviour confused scientists because land snakes usually stay away from humans and do not attack them. Why would their sea cousins be any different? Now, a recent study says that sea snakes may not be trying to attack humans at all. “Attacks on divers by sea snakes are mostly due to males searching for females, and getting confused,” the study author Professor Rick Shine said. “Sea snakes swim directly towards divers, sometimes wrapping around the diver’s arms or legs and biting. Sea snakes can grow to be more than six feet long. This makes divers very afraid when they confront these sea snakes. The sea snakes do not bite very often; however, their approaches (靠近) are very common and dangerous because a diver might panic (恐慌).” To understand why sea snakes keep approaching divers, the researchers used old data from nearly 30 years ago. As a university student, the study author Tim Lynch made a total of 188 dives in the Great Barrier Reef between 1994 and 1995. During these dives, which lasted about 30 minutes, he recorded how many sea snakes approached him and what happened. Most of the approaches happened during the snakes’ mating season, and males were more likely to approach during this time. So the researchers concluded that the attacks were because of “mistaken identity”. This means a male sea snake mistakes the diver for a female sea snake. The explanation provided by Lynch and Shine answers the question of what divers should do if they find a sea snake quickly swimming their way. “Stay calm, and let the snake check you out,” Shine advises. It will soon realise that you’re not a female snake. Then it will swim away. 32. What can we learn about sea snakes from the text? A. They often attack divers approaching them. B. They are actually not as dangerous as they look. C. They prefer to avoid divers rather than attack them. D. They will keep biting when meeting a diver. 33. What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Avoid. B. Attack. C. Protect. D. Face. 34. What does Shine advise a diver to do when a sea snake approaches? A. To stay calm till the sea snake leaves. B. To ask other nearby divers for help. C. To swim away as quickly as possible. D. To fight against the sea snake before it attacks. 35. Why do sea snakes keep approaching divers according to the research? A. They see divers as a threat. B. They want to kill divers for food. C. They are looking for new homes. D. They mistake divers for possible mates. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究发现海蛇并非主动攻击潜水员，而是雄性海蛇在求偶期误将潜水员认作雌性同类，并给出了遭遇海蛇靠近时的应对建议。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“The sea snakes do not bite very often; however, their approaches(靠近) are very common and dangerous because a diver might panic.(海蛇其实并不经常咬人，不过它们频繁靠近潜水员，危险之处在于潜水员可能会陷入恐慌。)”可知，海蛇实际上并没有看上去那么危险。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“This makes divers very afraid when they confront these sea snakes.(这让潜水员在confront这些海蛇时心生恐惧。)”及“Sea snakes can grow to be more than six feet long.(海蛇体长可达六英尺以上。)”可知，面对长达六英尺的海蛇，潜水员会心生恐惧，故画线单词confront意为“面对”。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第五段““Stay calm, and let the snake check you out,” Shine advises. It will soon realise that you’re not a female snake. Then it will swim away.(“保持冷静，任由海蛇试探，”Shine这样建议。它很快就会发现你并不是雌性海蛇，随后便会游走。)”可知，遇到海蛇靠近时，潜水员应该保持冷静，等待海蛇离开。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“This means a male sea snake mistakes the diver for a female sea snake.(这意味着雄性海蛇把潜水员错当成了雌性海蛇。)”可知，海蛇不断靠近潜水员，是因为它们误将潜水员当成了潜在的配偶。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose a Good Book Looking to find that perfect book?

In a book club, you read, discuss, and analyze books of all genres (类型), topics, and preferences.(加入或创办一个读书俱乐部来发现新书。在读书俱乐部里，你可以阅读、讨论和分析各种类型、主题和喜好的书籍。)”和下文“It also helps you make new friends, and gives you the chance to expand your personal library.(它还能帮你结交新朋友，并给你机会扩充你的个人图书馆。)”可知，空白处的内容应该与加入读书俱乐部的好处有关。选项D“成为会员可以激励你去阅读”承上启下，说明加入读书俱乐部可以激励阅读，同时还能结交新朋友和扩充个人图书馆，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sam Balto is a physical education teacher at a local elementary school in Portland.

With 61. was included 62. has applied##has been applying 63. travelling## traveling 64. courses 65. the 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了传统插花的历史、发展以及现代王莲英教授对插花艺术的研究和传播。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：千百年来，一项与花卉相关的艺术形式，也就是中国传统插花，一直是中国文化中重要且吸引人的一部分。本句的谓语是has been，空格处需要非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰an art form，an art form和动词relate是被动关系，表示“与花卉相关的艺术形式”，be related to表示“与……相关”，所以用过去分词related作定语。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。空格处和important并列修饰名词part，需要用形容词形式，attract是动词，其形容词形式attractive表示“吸引人的，有魅力的”。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：中国传统插花艺术起源于中国古代，在那个时期插花是不需要容器的。此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是Ancient China，表示时间，在从句中作during的宾语，指物，所以用关系代词which。during which time中，time是对先行词的补充说明。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：到宋代，插花艺术在普通民众中大受欢迎。空格处作动词enjoyed的宾语，被形容词high修饰，需要用名词形式，popular是形容词，其名词形式popularity表示“受欢迎，流行”，enjoy popularity是固定搭配，表示“受欢迎”。 【60题详解】 考查with的复合结构。句意：过去的几年来随着社会的巨大发展，插花艺术也得到了发展。此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构，在句中作伴随状语，宾语为society，宾补为现在分词developing。空格位于句首，单词首字母大写。 【61题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：2008年，传统插花被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录，受到政府的保护。根据时间状语In 2008可知，句子用一般过去时，主语traditional flower arrangement和动词include是被动关系，表示“被列入”，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，结构是“was/were+过去分词”，主语中心词arrangement是不可数名词，所以be动词用was，动词include的过去分词是included。 【62题详解】 考查时态。句意：大学教授王莲英，四十多年来一直致力于中国传统插花事业。主语Wang Lianying是第三人称单数，谓语用单数形式。根据时间状语for over forty years可知，动作从过去持续到现在，而且还可能继续持续下去，可以用现在完成时has applied，也可以用现在完成进行时has been applying强调动作一直持续。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：王莲英和她的同事们喜欢走遍全国的美术馆收集资料。enjoy doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“喜欢做某事，乐于做某事”，后接动名词作宾语，travel变动名词可以写作traveling或travelling两种形式。 【64题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：他们还组织培训项目，在大学开设课程，以此引起年轻一代的兴趣。course是可数名词，意为“课程”，此处泛指开设的多门课程，所以用复数形式。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。interest在这里被介词短语of the younger generation特指，表示“年轻一代的兴趣”，所以前面要用定冠词the。 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 你校上周末举办了一场讲座，主题为“了解中国古典文学”。请就此给学校英文报写一篇短文，报道此事，内容包括： 1. 讲座的信息； 2. 学生的反响。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Lecture on Chinese Classical Literature _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： A Lecture on Chinese Classical Literature Last weekend, our school held a lecture whose theme was “Understanding Chinese Classical Literature” in the school hall.

I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to know my new school. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. It was so big that I was afraid I might get lost. I didn’t know anyone, and I felt lonely. I know that teenagers should wear the right clothes to be popular. But I’m not sure which are the right clothes and which are the wrong clothes. I saw a girl in the hall who looked very cool, and she was talking to a group of kids. She was wearing the same jeans as I was, which made me feel good about my clothes. I felt more confident. I looked at my timetable to see what my first class was. My first class was math. I really like math. I went into the classroom and sat down at a desk in the second row right near the door. And the girl named Pat sitting behind me was the very girl I had met earlier, who left a deep impression on me. She was very friendly. She was also very forgetful. She forgot her pen, so she borrowed mine. She forgot her paper, so I gave her a sheet of paper. The one thing she didn’t forget was my name. We felt like friends already! I left math class and began looking for the science classroom, Room 211. I looked and looked, but I couldn’t find the stairs. I was worried that I would be late for class. It would be terrible to be late for my first science class because we all heard that our science teacher Mr. Robert was a serious teacher. I hurried down the hall and finally saw the stairs. I ran quickly up the stairs. Suddenly, I tripped (绊倒) and my papers fell from my hands and all of my papers went flying. I was so embarrassed and became extremely anxious. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Just then, Pat came up the stairs with two of her friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Entering the classroom, I found everyone in total silence and an embarrassing atmosphere around us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】one possible version: Just then, Pat came up the stairs with two of her friends. Seeing my clumsy attempt to collect my scattered papers on the ground, they instantly rushed over and joined me without any hesitation. All my items were gathered within minutes. With their sincere kindness and timely help, I felt relaxed and delighted. Having expressed my thanks to them, we headed happily for Room 211 together. However, the dead silence outside of the classroom made us aware that we were late for class. Entering the classroom, I found everyone in total silence and an embarrassing atmosphere around us. It was Mr Robert’s stern gaze that made everyone too nervous to speak. “Sorry, Mr. Robert! It is my fault to cause us to be late!” I tried to explain with my heart pounding wildly. To our surprise, he just smiled and began his class! With what seemed seconds going by, there went the bell. I had to admit I was completely absorbed in his class. What an unforgettable experience, and I bet my life here will be a thrilling and precious adventure. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己作为高中新生第一天的经历。作者在校门口看到一个跟自己一样穿牛仔裤的女孩让作者感到自信，然后在数学课上这位女孩坐在作者身后，找作者借纸笔，让作者认识了这位叫Pat的女孩，在随后找科学教室时作者不小心绊倒，卷子散落一地，感到非常尴尬和焦虑时，作者又得到了Pat和朋友的帮助。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，帕特和她的两个朋友上了楼。”可知，第一段可描写Pat和她的两个朋友对作者的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“走进教室，我发现每个人都很安静，周围的气氛很尴尬。”可知，第二段可描写作者迟到进入科学教室后的反应和老师的反应。 2. 续写线索：冲过来帮忙——卷子被收好——感谢——前往科学教室——作者道歉——解释情况——全神贯注于课堂——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲过来：rush over/dash over ②收集：gather/collect ③全神贯注于：be absorbed in/concentrate on 情绪类 ①放松：relaxed/eased ②高兴：delighted/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was Mr Robert’s stern gaze that made everyone too nervous to speak.

He was the eldest of five children born into a middle-class family in Bologna, Italy. His early love of art upset his father, who wanted his son to work with him in his export business. Morandi attempted the business unsuccessfully in 1906. After that, Morandi entered the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1907. He continued his study with the support of his friends when his father suddenly passed away in 1908, forcing him to support his mother and younger sisters. During that time, he was introduced to Cubism and Futurism, which influenced his early work. After he graduated from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1913, Morandi continued his study by traveling around Italy, especially to the Venice Biennale. Those tours would finally prove important, as much of Morandi’s exposure (接触) to painters came from published art works on the journey. He was particularly interested in the work of Impressionists like Claude Monet, as well as following greats such as Georges Seurat and Paul Cézanne. After Morandi finished his traveling, he returned home and lived with his family. For many years, Morandi kept a peaceful daily routine. And he did most of his work in his workshop, a small room in a flat he shared with his mother and sisters. Life wasn’t easy for him at first, but he quickly established himself as an important modern artist. His mastery of a skill of color, light and arrangement began to gain notice, shining in the face of present painting in the manner of abstraction (抽象). And he was named “one of the greatest painters living” by Roberto Longhi in 1934. 24. Why did Morandi’s early love of art worry his father? A. It took Morandi too much time. B. His father didn’t have money to support Morandi. C. His father wanted Morandi to follow in his footsteps. D. There were no suitable art teachers for Morandi. 25. What did Morandi do in 1913? A. He tried his father’s business. B. He started his university life. C. He traveled with his father. D. He finished his study in school. 26. What played a leading role in shaping Morandi as a successful modern artist? A. His love for his family. B. His tours around Italy. C. His middle-class background. D. His exposure to his father’s business. 27. How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By asking questions. B. By providing examples. C. By following time order. D. By making a comparison. C Every school has students who stand out for their abilities and their eagerness (渴望) to learn. In Mexico, a school created a program to work with them. In 2019. both teachers Lotta Andersson and John Rennie got the idea to provide learning opportunities for students with a desire for knowledge. They are English coordinators (协调员) in the school. “We want to have a program to encourage students who really have the abilities and the interests to learn more and continue accepting challenges,” Andersson said during a recent interview. Students in the program, which was called Learning Challenges, met with the teachers about once a month. Andersson and Rennie would help us choose research topics. We then worked with the teachers to find books, interview subjects and Internet sources, While in Learning Challenges, I gave statements on European culture and the fashion industry. When asked what skills students had formed in the program, which ended in June 2020 because of the limits of a common disease. Andersson said, “They had learned to ask questions, be more open-minded and see things from different angles (角度). Also, they mastered the skills-reflecting more, acting actively, and learning not to put limits on themselves.” A student, Yihane Abed, carried out research on the sun, the moon, stars, planets, etc, while in Learning Challenges. “The skills I developed were teamwork and the ways to do research and give a good presentation,” she said. Andersson and Rennie continue to help students pursue their love of learning. “The program doesn’t exist formally, but as an important part of the culture at school, it is still needed,” Andersson said. “There is much more difference, not only for students who need extra help, but also for those who are higher achievers.” 28. What’s the purpose of creating Learning Challenges? A. To help some students learn more. B. To guide students to work out effectively. C. To improve students’ interest in visiting Europe. D.

D For years, divers (潜水员) have reported unusual attacks from sea snakes. This behaviour confused scientists because land snakes usually stay away from humans and do not attack them. Why would their sea cousins be any different? Now, a recent study says that sea snakes may not be trying to attack humans at all. “Attacks on divers by sea snakes are mostly due to males searching for females, and getting confused,” the study author Professor Rick Shine said. “Sea snakes swim directly towards divers, sometimes wrapping around the diver’s arms or legs and biting. Sea snakes can grow to be more than six feet long. This makes divers very afraid when they confront these sea snakes. The sea snakes do not bite very often; however, their approaches (靠近) are very common and dangerous because a diver might panic (恐慌).” To understand why sea snakes keep approaching divers, the researchers used old data from nearly 30 years ago. As a university student, the study author Tim Lynch made a total of 188 dives in the Great Barrier Reef between 1994 and 1995. During these dives, which lasted about 30 minutes, he recorded how many sea snakes approached him and what happened. Most of the approaches happened during the snakes’ mating season, and males were more likely to approach during this time. So the researchers concluded that the attacks were because of “mistaken identity”. This means a male sea snake mistakes the diver for a female sea snake. The explanation provided by Lynch and Shine answers the question of what divers should do if they find a sea snake quickly swimming their way. “Stay calm, and let the snake check you out,” Shine advises. It will soon realise that you’re not a female snake. Then it will swim away. 32. What can we learn about sea snakes from the text? A. They often attack divers approaching them. B. They are actually not as dangerous as they look. C. They prefer to avoid divers rather than attack them. D. They will keep biting when meeting a diver. 33. What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Avoid. B. Attack. C. Protect. D. Face. 34. What does Shine advise a diver to do when a sea snake approaches? A. To stay calm till the sea snake leaves. B. To ask other nearby divers for help. C. To swim away as quickly as possible. D. To fight against the sea snake before it attacks. 35. Why do sea snakes keep approaching divers according to the research? A. They see divers as a threat. B. They want to kill divers for food. C. They are looking for new homes. D. They mistake divers for possible mates. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose a Good Book Looking to find that perfect book?

I was excited but a little bit worried. I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to know my new school. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. It was so big that I was afraid I might get lost. I didn’t know anyone, and I felt lonely. I know that teenagers should wear the right clothes to be popular. But I’m not sure which are the right clothes and which are the wrong clothes. I saw a girl in the hall who looked very cool, and she was talking to a group of kids. She was wearing the same jeans as I was, which made me feel good about my clothes. I felt more confident. I looked at my timetable to see what my first class was. My first class was math. I really like math. I went into the classroom and sat down at a desk in the second row right near the door. And the girl named Pat sitting behind me was the very girl I had met earlier, who left a deep impression on me. She was very friendly. She was also very forgetful. She forgot her pen, so she borrowed mine. She forgot her paper, so I gave her a sheet of paper. The one thing she didn’t forget was my name. We felt like friends already! I left math class and began looking for the science classroom, Room 211. I looked and looked, but I couldn’t find the stairs. I was worried that I would be late for class. It would be terrible to be late for my first science class because we all heard that our science teacher Mr. Robert was a serious teacher. I hurried down the hall and finally saw the stairs. I ran quickly up the stairs. Suddenly, I tripped (绊倒) and my papers fell from my hands and all of my papers went flying. I was so embarrassed and became extremely anxious. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Just then, Pat came up the stairs with two of her friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Entering the classroom, I found everyone in total silence and an embarrassing atmosphere around us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $叶集皖西当代中学高二年级五月月考英语科第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。I'm starving.

He was completely focused on his task and didn't look up at anyone passing by. We kept noticing him and wondered what he could be doing. I thought he was crushing stones to make sand, but why would he do that? Finally, we spoke to him. He was breaking the left over bread into pieces. He wanted to make feed for the birds that came here every morning. The large pieces of indian bread would be difficult for the birds to eat, so he crushed them into a fine powder every night. After reaching his apartment from his job as a designer, he collected left over bread from his roommates. Then he spent two hours crushing each peace and making a new pile for the birds. He also added some fresh water and rice, which he bought at the supermarket with his own salary. When we asked him why he did that, he shrugged his shoulders and said, it's just a little business. I can keep the left over bread from going into the trash cans, and the birds can get food.
