D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Do you or your family know an elderly person who may feel lonely？Perhaps you have a grandparent who doesn’t live nearby and who might not see many people. It’s thought that there could be more than a million lonely older people in the UK who often feel sad. This might because they live alone, or they might be in a care home and haven’t got family or friends who visit.
Simply writing a letter can help to cheer them up. It’s an easy thing to do but can make a big impact(影响). Being able to write an interesting letter is also a good skill because a lot of modern communication is written and sent by digital(电子的)messaging and email. Perhaps you have a grandparent.
Everyday things that you do, such as what you learned at school, sporting achievements or places you visit, might seem ordinary to you but an older person would be happy to read about them in a letter. It could make them think back to when they were young and did similar things. The person may also want to write back to you.
Professor Smith, aged 67, set up a group called Silver Robin, which has helped children from six schools in Oxford to begin writing letters to older people. "It's a lovely thing to do and connects different generations. Loneliness is not a nice thing and if a young person's letter puts a smile on someone's face, then that's wonderful.
Where do I start?
Ask your parents if there's an elderly relative or family friend you can write to and they can help you get started. Your teacher may like to make contact with a local elderly care home so that your class can begin writing letters.

How else can I help?
There are other ways to help elderly people less lonely. For example, knowing the date of their birthday means you can send a card, saying hello and being nice to people in your street, checking on them with your family or knocking on their door sometimes just to see how they are can make a difference.

An Afro-American boy was born in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in poverty. He could not see any hope for the future.
When the boy turned 13, his father showed him an old shirt and asked, “How much does it cost?”
“Probably $1,” he replied.
“Can you sell it at $2?” the father looked at him.
“Only a fool will buy it!” the boy shouted.
“Why don’t you have a try?” his father said.
The boy nodded and said, “I will try, but I can’t promise anything.” He carefully washed the old shirt and smoothed out the creases （皱眉）in it. The next day, he came to a crowded subway station. After about six hours, he sold it to a passer-by. With the two dollars he ran all the way home excitedly.
After ten days, the father asked his son, “Can you sell an old shirt at $20?”
“No way! An old shirt is only worth $2,” the boy argued.
“Why not try it again?” said his father.
The boy decided to ask his cousin to draw a cute Mickey Mouse on the old shirt. This time he chose to sell it at the gate of a private school. Soon, it was sold to a little girl. She loved the design so much that she tipped him $5.
When the boy got home, his father handed him another ole shirt and asked him to sell it at $200. Surprisingly, the boy took the shirt at once.

Everything changed when I was four years old. My father died. After that, my mother and I had to move back to a small village in Alabama, where my mother grew up. We lived in a small house with Aunt Sandy, my mother’s elder sister. This was a time when being a single parent was still considered unusual.
When I was small, there was a children’s book called The Happy Family, and it was a real piece of work. Dad worked all day long at the office, Mum cooked in the kitchen, and brother and sister always had friends playing around. The image (形象) of the family in this book was typical (典型的) of the time. It looked nothing like my family, but luckily that wasn’t the way I heard it. The way my Aunt Sandy read it to me made the story really funny.
Kind-hearted and open-minded, Aunt Sandy was the one who played baseball with me, who took me horseback riding, who took me to the father-son dinners and who gave me lessons on how to drive. She believes that anything unusual was probably good for me. She offered to help me go to Africa to work as a volunteer. That was my most important experience.
As a young girl, Aunt Sandy always planned to have a large number of children of her own, but she never got married. This meant that she was free to spend all her time taking care of me. Many people say we have a lot in common. She always afforded me to do my best and makes me believe that I could do anything with my life that I wanted if I tried hard enough.
For more than fifty years, Aunt Sandy didn’t and still don’t think of herself. Unless she is forced to come up to the front, my aunt will stand in the back in family photos, and she doesn’t think that her efforts have made much difference.

Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno realized the dream of a lifetime: he got a university degree (学位) in history.
Mr. Paterno’s graduation has attracted a lot of reporters around the world, partly because of his age. But he has drawn their attention mainly because his life story shows his spirit (精神) of commitment (承诺；投入). His story sets an example for millions of schoolchildren and young people in Italy and elsewhere especially during the time of the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情). “Don’t get lost because you meet with difficulties. There will always be difficulties,” Mr. Paterno told reporters, “You have to be strong,” “Studying has been my interest since I was a little child”, he said, “but unluckily, life was hard to me.”
Born in Palermo, Italy in 1923, the first of seven children in a “very poor family,” Mr. Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. After he retired, in the mid-1980s, he returned to his books. At that time, he met a professor from the University of Palermo, who asked him to go after his dream. He never gave up from then on and finished learning at that university.
“His story is proof that dreams can come true and that you can always keep young - if not in age but at least in spirit if you develop interests. He’s a model to follow.” said Rossella Cancila, his adviser and a professor of history.
Italy’s university system is based on a three-year degree, followed by a two-year master’s case (硕士课程). University officials are hoping that Mr Paterno will continue his study.
He isn’t so sure. “I have to admit that at this moment, I don’t know if I would deal with it just like before,” he said, “All the attention has been a bit tiring. But anyway, I want to keep my choice open.”

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
My first few years at my summer camp I was incredibly homesick; the kind of homesick（想家的）where I would fall asleep in my bunk crying because I missed my mom so badly and would beg my counselors（辅导员） to call her. I cannot tell you what changed in me exactly, but one day I realized that moms do not have the magic power to fix everything. Most of the time only you have the power to fix your own problems.
At camp, it does not matter who you are or where you come from, all that matters is that you are nice to your fellow campers and counselors and that you share your Oreos with everyone. I learned to work as a team member in some of the most difficult situations possible by finding the good in people and making the most out of it. You learn to accept others for what they bring to the table. Camp opened my eyes to what qualities truly matter in people.
Growing up is hard; school is stressful, friends let you down, and family conflicts（矛盾）create problems out of your control. At camp, I could be the best version of me as a happy, confident, creative and cool girl. Camping gave me confidence and freedom to be who I wanted to be. Summer camps are an unusual place. The best friends I could ever make were always there with me. We climbed the high mountains and made camp near the lakes. Spending time with my friends made the best memories I could ever ask for. At camp, I laughed the hardest, smiled the biggest. I was much happier than ever before.
I attended my summer camp for over ten years, and during each summer I would become stronger and more confident. Whether it was hiking up large hills, learning skills for the first time, or thinking about what’s good in me, camping gave me time to develop into the person I am today. Camping really makes me a better person.

92. What made the best memories the writer could ever ask for?

A few months ago, I interviewed Max, an animal trainer. He was teaching a dolphin to do a back flip. Every time the dolphin jumped out of the water even a little, Max would reward it with some food. When the dolphin did something else, Max would just ignore it. At first the dolphin kept swimming round the pool and having fun. But slowly, it learned that what it jumped, it got a reward. After a few days the dolphin was jumping high enough to do a somersault（空翻）. i had learned the first part of the trick.
I was fascinated. I kept thinking about how Max had trained that dolphin... and then I began to wonder if the same skills might work with my husband, Dylan. He was always leaving dirty washing on the floor and he often used to forget arrangement that we’d made. I nagged(埋怨）him but he ignored me. The piles of washing just got bigger and he would forget even more arrangement. His bad habits didn’t use to trouble me bur now they were driving me mad!
So I decided to copy the dolphin trainer. I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket, even if it was just one sock or when he remembered any arrangement, even if he got the wrong day. Slowly, the piles of dirty washing became smaller and his memory got better. I was so pleased that I told Dylan about my “training”. he looked thoughtful.
A few days later my computer didn’t work again. It was continuously crashing and I called Dylan in a panic. The first thing he said was, “Well done, Jenny, you haven’t made a drama out of this. You used to shout at me.” suddenly, I felt calm. I liked his praised. Then I realized what was happening. He ____83_____.

79. What does the underlined word “they”(in Para.2 Line 5) refer to?

80. Why did the writer decide to copy the dolphin trainer?

81. How did the writer help her husband to get rid of his bad habits?

82. Did Dylan think his wife also had her own bad habits?

83. What can be filled in the blanks in the last paragraph?

【答案】
78. Max taught a dolphin to do a back flip.
79. Dylan’s bad habits.
80. Because the writer wanted to change/ get rid of her husband’s bad habits.
81. By praising Dylan (for any of his improvements).

78. 细节理解题，答案在第一段第一行最后，“他正在教海豚做后空翻.”
79. 细节理解题，答案在第二段最后一句话，“他的坏习惯以前没有给我造成麻烦，但是现在它们让我抓狂！”
80. 细节理解题，因为作者之前采访了Max，其训练海豚的有效方法给了作者启发，因为她的丈夫Dylan有很多坏习惯不改正，所以作者想也用这种方法看看能不能对Dylan有效果。
81. 细节理解题，作者把训练海豚的方法代人，每当Dylan做一些与他坏习惯相反的事情的时候，作者就会表扬Dylan一次，即Dylan把换洗衣服自己扔进衣篓或记起了某个约定之后。
82. 判断题，答案在最后一段第二行，当有一天作者的电脑坏了，寻求Dylan的帮助，Dylan也表扬了作者并说“你之前都是喊着跟我说的”，说明作者以前的坏习惯就是每次寻求Dylan的帮助时，或是平常说话时，会大喊大叫的坏习惯。
83. 推断题，在前面一系列的事件里，作者通过训练海豚的方法受到启发改变了Dylan。本题只要填关于这方面的即可，此题答案不唯一。

Mark Twain is one of the most quoted authors ever. There are hundreds of his quotations(语录）in books, on posters and on websites. Here is an example:
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” ——Mark Twain.
Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much more difficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth, there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn’t lie not because it is wrong, but because it is hard work. Here is another example.
“Always obey your parents when they are present” ——Mark Twain.
Again, the quotation gives good advice——to always obey your parents, but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you——because they can see what you are doing.
Albert Einstein’s questions are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational (鼓励人心的). This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be. Here is an example:
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” ——Albert Einstein.
This is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also, because this was said by Albert Einstein, it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that we can learn any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.
78. Where are Mark Twain’s quotations always used?

79. Telling a lie is easier than telling the truth, isn’t it?

80. According to Mark Twain, why should we always obey our parents when they are present?

81. What does “Learn from yesterday” in Albert Einstein’s quotation really mean?

82. What’s the purpose of not to stop questioning?

83. Among the three quotations above, which one impresses(印象) you most? Why?

【答案】

One mom is thanking Target for an amazing reason.
Jamie Sumner and her 6-year-old son, Charlie, walked into Target last week to get some coffee. Their ordinary shopping trip turned rather special when Charlie, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and uses a wheelchair, saw an advertisement in the kids' clothing section that made him smile.
The advertisement describes a young boy around Charlie's age wearing a sweater and laughing. Nothing seemed very out of the ordinary until Sumner saw that the boy in the advertisement was using a walker (助行架).
“I stopped because I had never seen ‘our normal’ in such a place,” the mother of three children wrote in a blog post.
Sumner wrote that she started crying right there in the middle of Target.
“I watched Charlie watch the sign. And it was beautiful,” she wrote. “Yes, I started crying in the aisle. Yes, other people stopped and looked. And then they looked at the sign and they smiled. It was such an unexpected moment of connectedness among strangers in the middle of Target in the middle of a week on an otherwise ordinary day.”
She and Charlie walked past the sign three times before they went out of Target.
“It sounds like such a small thing, but for us it is a nod from the world that we supported,” she wrote. “It's just the beginning, I hope. I hope more disabilities and special needs pop up in clothing advertisements and commercials and on mainstream TV. But for now, I am so grateful to Target for ___________83____________.”
78. How many children does Sumner have?

79. According to the text, what is Target?

80. What made the boy in the advertisement special?

81. What does the underlined part "our normal' in the fourth paragraph refer to?

82. Why did Sumner cry there?

83. Complete the last sentence. But for now, I'm so grateful to Target for

82. Because she thought his son could be ordinary in others’ sight and could be helped./ Because she was moved.
83. doing such a warm thing./ But for now, I’m so grateful to Target for making a start and for making us feel at home.

【分析】
78. 由第四段的the mother of three children可知，她有三个孩子。
79. 由第二段的shopping trip可知作者在购物，且后文也提到了服装区，所以是购物广场。
80. 结合三两段可以看出是因为广告中的男孩用来助行架。
81. 结合三四两段的内容能够看出，是因为这位母亲停下脚步是因为在广告中看到了和她儿子一样，同样残疾的孩子。
82. 根据最后一段可知，这件事情虽然是小事，但代表了世界对这些残疾人的认同和接受。
83. 结合最后一个段，答案合理即可。

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Sally woke with a sudden movement. She heard strange sounds; she could smell smoke. The room was full of smoke. She coughed. What was happening? Her bedroom door opened with a bang and her mother ran in, her face white.
Get up Sally, we have to go! Get dressed now! Her mother disappeared back into the house. Sally jumped from her bed and opened the window. Screams and cries came from the streets below. Sally watched people throw their things into carts, horses threading the ground, keen to leave.
"Hey, what's happening?" Sally yelled .
"Fire!" her neighbour shouted back.
"Coming from Pudding Lane! Get out now Sally! No one is safe! "
Sally pulled her window shut and got changed as quickly as she could. Downstairs, she found her father, mother and sister jamming their things into a handcart. They watched people trying to put out the big fire with leather buckets full of water. It didn't seem to make any difference, as the fire jumped from one building to the next.
"The houses are so close together and made of wood!" Sally noticed, as she tripped over candlesticks, burnt pans and odd bits of furniture that people had dropped in the streets.
The grocer’s boy, Tom Winter, saw Sally and said, "Some people are going to St. Paul's Cathedral to stay safe. Made of stone. Won't burn like wood. " Sally nodded, but followed her parents down the dark street.
They walked and walked. Finally, they arrived at Moorfields. It was a wide-open space with no buildings to burn. They were safe.
78. Sally's house was on fire, wasn't it?

79. Why did Sally cough?

80. Where did the fire start?

81. How were people trying to put out the fire?

82. Why did Sally's family go to Moorfields?

83. What changes do you think were made to the buildings after the fire?


【答案】
78.No, it wasn’t.
79. Because there was smoke in the room.
80. The fire started from Pudding Lane.
81. With leather buckets full of water. / They used leather buckets full of water to put out the fire.
82. Because it was a wide-open space with no buildings to burn. They could stay safe.
83. Firstly, buildings were made/built of stones instead of wood. Secondly, buildings were built further apart./ Certain distance was left between buildings.
【分析】
78. 根据原文细节可知，文中没有一处提到是Sally的房子着火了，由第六段细节“she found her father, mother and sister jamming their things into a handcart. They watched people trying to put out the big fire with leather buckets full of water. It didn't seem to make any difference, as the fire jumped from one building to the next.
”知道Sally能看到着火的房子，而Sally自己的家人在忙着收拾东西，所以不是自己加的房子着火！
79. 根据第一段第三、四句，“The room was full of smoke. She coughed.”，房间里充满了烟，Sally咳嗽了起来。可知是烟导致了Sally咳嗽。
80. 根据第五段，“Coming from Pudding Lane! Get out now Sally! No one is safe!”，他的邻居回答的话中说了火灾来自Pudding Lane ，然后一直烧到了他们这儿。
81. 根据文章第六段第三句“They watched people trying to put out the big fire with leather buckets full of water.”可以知道，人们通过用皮桶装满水来灭火！
82. 根据文章最后一段，“They walked and walked. Finally, they arrived at Moorfields. It was a wide-open space with no buildings to burn. They were safe”可知，他们去到了Moorfields，这是一个开阔的地带，没有房屋可以烧起来，所以安全了。可知答案。
83. 根据倒数第二段中小男孩回复的话，“Made of stone. Won't burn like wood.”，石头制作的房子不容易烧起来，所以为了减少火灾，人们会建造石头的房子。答案合理即可。

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
S=Sean; H=Helen
H: As you can see, I have many business English lessons. When I teach in the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. It’s interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.
S: Right.
H: Luck is important to success, but since you’ve seen that fantastic video on the TED talks website by St.
John, he doesn’t mention luck at all.
S: Well, I believe that people can make their own luck. I mean, you can actually create what people see as
luck.
H: Sure. I think luck is how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.
S: Yes. Very good point.
H: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?
S: Yes. Actually, there was. Something very impressive is many people think that luck is something you must
have, in order to be successful. And in the video, we say, the point about getting good at something is not about some natural talent. It’s all about practice, practice, practice.
H: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way. But at the end of the day, you must work hard and get
really, really good at what you do.
S: Sure.
H: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion (a strong feeling of love) being so
important. And a passionate person usually loves what he wants to do.
S: I agree. Now, we can say that if you want to achieve success, you______________________, instead of ______________________.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Eat Your Schoolwork!
At a farmers' market in Las Vegas, the tables have been turned. Here, the students do the teaching.
“This is a summer squash,” one student explained to a shopper. “This is an Armenian cucumber.”
“It's technically a melon,” his classmate said.
All the students were working at the outdoor market in 2019. They were selling food they grew themselves. The pride they felt was clear.
All these young gardeners are part of their school district's Outdoor Garden Classroom Program. Students from more than 100 schools around Las Vegas have their own gardens. There they get their hands dirty while they learn. Twice a year, they also harvest and sell their “schoolwork" at the Giant Student Farmers' Market. It is known to be the largest student-run farmers' market in the country.
The program has grown since it began in 2013. Students work in teams with the support of their teachers. They take responsibility for all the different steps. Team members research what can grow in their climate. Then they discuss and plan their garden beds. They plant seeds, pluck weeds（除草），and water their crops. Some schools also have small orchards of fruit trees.
When the time is ripe, students harvest the fruits (and vegetables) of their labors. The produce is then prepared for eating or selling. Students manage the business end, too. They handle the money at the farmers' market. They also plan how to spend the money they make. All earnings are plowed back（再投资） into the gardening program. Sometimes students carry some of the harvest home to share with their families.
School gardens also provide food for thought in classrooms. Science lessons may cover the biology of plants. Students study the nutrition of the foods they grow. Maths and measurements become tools for planning garden fields. In fact, studies have shown that garden programs help improve student achievement.
The Outdoor Garden Classroom Program has also built relationships with the surrounding community. Local volunteers visit schools to share their expert knowledge. Business leaders teach students about managing a business. Schools even invite area chefs（厨师）to show simple recipes made with school-grown ingredients.
From planning and planting to harvest and market, school gardens offer valuable learning experiences as well as fun. Young gardeners get a chance to practice skills that will serve them all their lives.

78.The Giant Student Farmers' Market is the largest student -run farmers' market in the country, isn't it?
79.When was the Outdoor Garden Classroom Program created?
80.How did the students feel when they worked at the outdoor market?
81.What's the first step students do in this program?
82.Who helps the students in this program?
83.What can the students learn from Outdoor Garden Classroom Program?(List at least 3
points)
【答案】
78.Yes, it is.
79. In 2013.
80.They felt proud.
81. Researching what can grow in their climate.
82.Their teachers.
83.Any reasonable answer is OK.
Learning experience (the steps to grow vegetables), responsibilities, food for thought, fun, etc.
【分析】
78.细节题，根据原文第五段，Twice a year, they also harvest and sell their “schoolwork" at the Giant Student Farmers' Market. It is known to be the largest student-run farmers' market in the country.事实是Giant Student Farmers' Market是这个国家最大的学生运营市场，所以是肯定回答。
79.细节题，根据原文第六段第一句，The program has grown since it began in 2013. 该项目自2013年启动以来一直在增长。所以创立时间是2013年，答案是In 2013.

This was my grandmother’s first birthday without grandfather, and before he passed away, we had promised him that we would make it her best birthday ever. Grandfather had always said that she expected her birthday party every day since it was also a time for family reunion (团聚).
When my mom, dad, three sisters and I arrived at her little house, we found she had waited up all night for our arrival. Once arriving, we immediately set to prepare for the birthday celebration. We ordered a large three-tier birthday cake and decorated the house with colorful belts and balloons, When everything was ready, I noticed something was missing.
“Wheres your scarf?”I asked.
That scarf, faded(褪色) and even older than my mom, was a necessary part of the yearly celebration. Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date. But now, on he first birthday without him, the scarf was gone, too.
“It must be here somewhere.” she said. “Your grandfather always packed everything so carefully.”
Then we started to search every comer for the missing scarf. As we emptied box after box and found no scarf, my grandmother’s eyes were filled with tears, However, seeing our worried looks, she soon hid her disappointment.
“ Check it out! This may be a gift from Grandpa ” my sister shouted as she found a well- wrapped(包装精美的) box.
Grandma shakily opened the box. With great joy, she pulled out a brand-new red scarf with a note. Her voice trembled (颤抖) as she read it aloud:
“Dear I noticed some tiny holes in your scarf when I washed it. So I thought it was time for a new one. I hope it can bring you as much joy as the first one did. Happy birthday!
Love, Bryant.”
