When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire－ravaged(火灾肆虐的) Australia, she decided to do something about it.

She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand－sewn(手缝的) and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.

This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem.

“I’d never sewn in my life，” said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. “Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew. ”

Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to For Australian Wildlife Needing Aid (FAWNA), one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from burns.

A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a young joey(幼兽) in one of her larger pouches. “It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way，” said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.

“I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated(蹂躏) by natural disasters，” she said.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, it estimated that 1．2 billion animals have died, as a result of the bushfires, which have burned more than 26 million acres in Australia.

Several craft guild(手工业行会) websites around the world have mobilized(动员) for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 and Rochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, “it was a big push that made we crafters, sewers to realize there’s something more we can do than just make things for ourselves，” she said.

4．What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?

A．What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.

B．What is needed to save koalas and other species.

C．The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia.

D．Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia.

5．How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA according to the text?

A．Proud. B．Calm.

C．Surprised. D．Disappointed.

6．The statistics(统计数字) in Paragraph 8 are used to show ________.

A．how frequent the bushfires are in Australia

B．how harmful the bushfires are in Australia

C．the great varieties of wild animals in Australia

D．the difficulties facing relief organizations in Australia

7．What do Newberry’s words in the last paragraph suggest?

A．People should stay united through difficult times.

B．Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.

C．It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.

D．Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。澳洲大火肆虐导致生灵涂炭，数十亿动物因此丧生，17岁的美国高中生Ratelle在了解到当地动物急需手缝的针织袋后，决定自学缝纫并将自制的袋子捐给了慈善组织。与此同时，全世界的手工艺人和裁缝们也都加入了救助澳大利亚野生动物的行列中。

4．A　主旨大意题。根据第一段中“When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire－ravaged (火灾肆虐的)Australia, she decided to do something about it. ”和第二段中“Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand－sewn (手缝的)and knitted pouches (袋子)and wraps for koalas and other animals…”可知，Ratelle看到了澳洲大火的视频，决心为此做点什么，然后又了解到当地急需动物用的手缝针织袋，接下来就引出了她为此去学习缝纫技术，前两段交代的正是Ratelle学习缝纫的原因、动机。故选A项。

5．A　推理判断题。根据第六段中引述Ratelle的原话“It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way…”可知，收到照片让Ratelle觉得她对于世界做出了一份贡献。由此判断出Ratelle显然是带着一种自豪、满足的心情。故选A项。

6．B　推理判断题。根据第八段可知，据世界野生动物基金会(World Wildlife Fund)估计，在澳大利亚，森林大火烧毁了2600多万英亩土地，造成12亿只动物死亡。由此判断出这里描述的是澳洲大火造成的动物伤亡情况和波及的范围，就是为了表现大火的危害程度。故选B项。

7．D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中引述Newberry的话可知：这是一个巨大的推动，让我们这些工匠，裁缝工意识到，除了为自己制造东西，我们还可以做更多的事情。她觉得这次帮助救济动物的行动让相关从业人员意识到了除了给人类做衣服以外，还有更多事情可以做，所指的就是在帮助动物方面还可以做得更多。故选D项。

As the coronavirus(冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic(疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family－style” bicycles: the low－cost, easy－to－ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s，” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.

The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID－19．The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.

Joe Minutolo is the co－owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things，” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen. ”

8．What causes the increase in bicycle sales?

A．Shortage of public transportation. B．Outbreak of the coronavirus.

C．People’s desire to defeat disease. D．People’s fear of natural disasters.

9．What change has the pandemic caused in Italy?

A．More bikes are sold than at Christmas time. 

B．“Family－style” bicycles are in great need.

C．Cars are banned from some central roads. 

D．New bicycle paths have been built.

10．What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A．It’s impossible to buy a bike. 

B．Bike factories were closed in April.

C．High demand for bikes began in March. 

D．It takes many months to produce a bike.

11．What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles?

A．Doubtful. B．Positive.

C．Uncertain. D．Critical.

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了疫情下全球自行车市场繁荣从而导致了自行车的供应出现了短缺的情况。

8．B　细节理解题。根据第一段的“So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic(疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales. ”可知，疫情大流行导致自行车销量大幅度增长并不奇怪。即冠状病毒爆发导致了自行车销量的增加。故选B项。

9．D　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，意大利为越来越多希望避免使用公共交通工具的人们建造了自行车道。即疫情大流行使意大利政府为民众新建了自行车道。故选D项。

10．C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. ”可知，随着国家开始实施封闭措施，民众对于自行车需求的增长开始于三月份。即民众对自行车的大量需求始于三月份。故选C项。

11．B　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，Joe Minutolo希望自行车销量的增加意味着人们对出行方式的看法发生了变化。他说：“人们有机会重新思考一些事情，也许我们都会从中学到一些东西，并且某些真正好的事情将会发生”。由此可知，Joe Minutolo对自行车销量增加持肯定的态度。故选B项。

D

Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self－examination.

Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T. S. Eliot and others.

In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.

While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.

Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.

The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere(半球)of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”， driving the readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self－help books.

Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket－booster(火箭加速器) to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old. ”

12．The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A．depends on B．picks up

C．sets off D．changes into

13．Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?

A．It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.

B．It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.

C．It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.

D．It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.

14．From the research, we can learn that ________.

A．the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’ works

B．the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further

C．reading classical works produces a good and long－lasting effect on the mind

D．poetry increases left－brain activity more than other literary forms

15．What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?

A．Shakespeare’s plays deserve to be read.

B．Common books are unpopular anymore.

C．Poetry is best for developing people’s brain.

D．Classical works help the brain develop better.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家们发现阅读莎士比亚及其他古典作家的作品对心智发展大有裨益。

12．C　词义猜测题。根据文章第一段中可知，利物浦大学的科学家、心理学家和英国学者发现，阅读莎士比亚和华兹华斯等古典作家的作品对心理有很大的影响，引起读者的注意并引发自我反省。与“catches the reader’s attention”并列且意思相近，故trigger是引发的意思。结合选项。故选C项。

13．B　细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知，测试结果表明，较具挑战性的段落比普通段落在大脑中产生更大程度的电活动。B项表述和原文不符。故选B项。

14．C　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段中“As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading. ”可知，阅读经典作品对心灵产生良好而持久的影响。故选C项。

15．D　主旨大意题。根据第一段 “reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self－examination”和下文的研究结果可知，本文介绍了最新研究的成果，作者引述了一些人的观点和研究成果来证明：阅读经典的文学对提高大脑的活动非常有益。结合选项。故选D项。

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。

While everyone enjoys listening to good music, not many of us are what the world calls “musician” —the ones with the ability to play a musical instrument. This could be due to not having the chance to learn as kids or simply due to lack of proper instruction. __16__ And here are four good reasons as to why everyone should learn to play a musical instrument.

It teaches patience. __17__ It is the daily efforts of everyday practice that can help a musician learn how to play without mistakes. Most musicians go through years of regular practice that may include doing daily musical exercises and dealing with progressively(渐进地) difficult musical pieces, which in turn help them acquire the virtue of patience.

It promotes a sense of achievement. The process of learning how to play an instrument can be both time consuming and tiring. __18__ The more time and effort you put into mastering an instrument, the greater your sense of achievement will be.

__19__ Playing a musical instrument can bring the joy factor into your life. Music has the special ability to bring joy, peace and fulfillment that help lift the spirit and make life enjoyable for everyone involved.

It regulates mood. Research shows that creating music reduces stress. Playing music can also act as an emotional way to express your feelings. __20__

A．It brings pleasure.

B．It improves listening skills.

C．However, music is something that is never too late to learn.

D．Overcoming this directly results in a sense of achievement and pride.

E．Playing an instrument is not something that can be learned overnight.

F．Regularly playing any instrument is a great form of exercise for the brain.

G．Creating your own music can change your sadness or joy into a real work of art.

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。虽然每个人都喜欢听好的音乐，但我们中没有多少人是世界上所谓的有能力弹奏乐器的“音乐家”。这可能是由于孩提时没有机会学习，或者仅仅是由于缺乏适当的指导。

16．C　空格上文阐述我们中很多人因为没有机会学习和缺乏指导不会弹奏乐器，下文讲述了四个为什么人们应该学习弹奏一种乐器的理由。因此推断空处说明我们应该学习音乐，C项“然而，音乐是一种永远不会因为太晚不能学会的东西”符合语境，承上启下。故选C项。

17．E　根据首句“It teaches patience. ”可知，学习乐器教给耐心，因此推断E项“演奏乐器不是一夜之间就能学到的东西。”符合语境。故选E项。

18．D　根据上文“The process of learning how to play an instrument can be both time consuming and tiring. ”可知，学习如何演奏乐器的过程既费时又累人。因此推断D项“克服这一点直接会产生成就感和自豪感。”因此下文“掌握一种乐器花费的时间和精力越多，你的成就感就会越大。”故选D项。

19．A　空格处是段落标题。根据下文“Playing a musical instrument can bring the joy factor into your life(演奏乐器可以把快乐因素带入你的生活). ”可推断，乐器带来快乐。故选A项。

20．G　根据上文“Research shows that creating music reduces stress. Playing music can also act as an emotional way to express your feelings. ”可知：研究表明，创造音乐可以减轻压力。演奏音乐也可以作为一种情感方式来表达你的感受。此处说到“创造音乐”，G项“创造你自己的音乐可以把你的悲伤或快乐变成一件真正的艺术作品。”符合语境。故选G项。

Corn uses less water 40．________ rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 41．________ (pollute) in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people.

According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 42．________ (globe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 43．________ (start) a soiltesting program 44．________ gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers — and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7．7 million tons.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文中讲述了中国为保护环境在农作物种植上做了一些变化并得到了世界上的知名认识的认可。

36．has grown　since后面接时间点，主句要用现在完成时。句意：2011年以来，中国种植的玉米比水稻多。故填has grown。

37．the　句意：玉米产量在过去25年里增长了近125%，而大米只增长了7%。是特指在过去的25年里。故填the。

38．actually　句意：对肉的需求实际上是这种变化的背后原因。句子结构完整，用副词修饰句子。故填actually。

39．to improve　句意：为了改善水质政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是大米。没有连词可以且谓语动词是encourages，故improve应该用其非谓语动词形式。此处表示目的，要用不定式。故填to improve。

40．than　句意：玉米比大米使用的水更少。根据关键词less可知，填比较连词。故填than。

41．pollution　句意：这一转变减少了中国较大的湖泊和水库的污染，使人们的饮用水更加安全。“has decreased”后跟名词作宾语。故填pollution。

One possible version：

As the winter vacation is approaching, there is a heated discussion among students about whether they should do a part－time job. Students’ opinions are divided on this matter.

Some students are for the idea because they can make some money to buy what they like. What’s more, they can have a better understanding of the society by doing part－time jobs. However, some students are against the idea. They hold the idea that they are so tired that they want to relax themselves both physically and mentally.

Every coin has two sides. As for me, I’m against the idea because I’ve been looking forward to a relaxing trip and get better prepared for the next semester.
