 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

 There are many famous festivals around the world．The Carnivals in Rio de Janeiro andVenice，Munich's Oktoberfest and London's Notting Hill Carnival are three examples．Thereare，however，festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year．These rangefrom very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages orneighbourhoods of towns or cities．We have selected a few of the more unusual，colourfulfestivals from around the world．

 Australia Day Cockroach（螳螂）Races：Brisbane，Queensland，Australia

 “ Racing is simple．．．the races are held in a circular track and cockroaches are then let gofrom an upturned bucket in the middle．．．first to the edge is a winner．Things are made a littlemore difficult in the steeplechase（障碍赛）events where a circular fence is used to enhance thespectacle and test the cockroach talent．”

 Canberra Sled Dog Classic：Canberra，Australian Capital Territory，Australia

 Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia．As there'sno snow（the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns），thesleds have wheels instead of runners，but the excitement is the same

 Darwin Beer Can Regatta（划船比赛）：Darwin，Northern Territory，Australia

 This local charity event brings together great engineers and great drinkers．Participantsconstruct everything from life-size beer-can canoes to beer-can Viking warships during thisoff-the-wall regatta．

 La Tomatina：Bunol，Spain

 “ The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran．Residents and visitors take part in atomato-throwing battle that uses more than 88，000 pounds of tomatoes．This crazy event beganwith a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco．But the Tomatina is now regarded asan amusing way to end the summer．”

21．What do these selected festivals held in Australia have in common？

 A．They are famous festivals held in big cities．

 B．There are competitions in these festivals．

 C．They are celebrated in Northern Australia．

 D．Animals or insects are involved in these festivals．

B

 The new TV series Joy of Life is a hit，scoring 8/10 among the most critical reviewers ofDouban，a Chinese social networking service website．The series premiered（首映）on TencentVideo and iQiyi（online video platforms）on November 26，2019．

 But how would you feel if Tencent Video and iQiyi allowed anyone to pay an extra fee tosee a show's upcoming episodes（集）ahead of schedule？The two of China's biggest videostreaming platforms decided to allow users to pay an extra fee on top of their subscription（订阅）to get advanced access to episodes of Qing Yu Nian（Joy of Life）．Monthly subscriptionsfor Tencent Video cost 15 yuan（US$2.14）and iQiyi charges 19 yuan（US$2.71）．Under thenew policy，users could pay 50 yuan（US$7.14）to always stay six episodes ahead in Qing YuNian．Alternatively，watching a single episode in advance costs 3 yuan（US$0.43）．

 Users are mad about Tencent Video's and iQiyi's extra fees on top of subscriptions．OnWeibo，a Chinese microblogging website，tags related to the two platforms'pricing policiesrepeatedly recurred on trending searches，where many people were found complaining aboutthe platforms being greedy and called for the audience to boycott the policy．

 The policy also drew criticism from People's Daily．The state-owned newspaper said theplatforms “ have bad table manners”and “drain the pond to fish and burn the woods to hunt，”which are Chinese idioms used to describe someone focusing on quick profits as opposed tolong-term interests．People's Daily also said the sites look down upon on users' rights．”Twolawyers apparently agreed．The lawyers，who claim to be users of Tencent Video and iQiyi，started two separate cases，saying that they violated users'rights．

 But some experts don't think the new pricing rules are unreasonable．Zhu Wei，aprofessor at the China University of Political Science and Law，argued in an article thatcharging outside subscriptions are value-added services and don't violate the law．But Zhuadded that the platforms are at fault for not properly informing users about the policy inadvance．

 In the face of extreme competition and perhaps an ambitious business model，China'sstreaming giants are hoping that additional charges could turn their luck around．But judgingby the pushback on social media，it may not be so easy．It's hoped that the next stage of thisstreaming war is a little more friendly．

24．According to the new policy，how much will the subscribers pay in total if they want towatch six episodes on Tencent Video in advance？

 A．50 yuan B．18 yuan C．65 yuan D．69 yuan

25．What is the author's attitude towards the new policy？

 A．Indifferent B．Neutral C．Favorable D．Critical

26．What does the underlined word “recurred” mean in Paragraph 3？

 A．appear B．perform C．attract D．serve

27．What is the best title of the passage？

 A．A well-received TV play． B．An actor loved by the audience．

 C．A debatable charging policy． D．A TV play worthy of money．

C

 Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape，whileothers carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight？How frustrating! However，scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from theirparents．

 Scientists say that when some people eat，their bodies will naturally store the excessenergy from food as fat．These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day．Meanwhile，other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off”theextra food without making fat，so they rarely have weight problems．

 To show that this is true，scientists have experimented on laboratory mice．They gave themice a special diet with a lot of fat．Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin，even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount ofexercise．Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors．They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency．Thesegenes，according to the scientists，get passed down the generations．Armed with thisknowledge，they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes andstop people from gaining weight．

 The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who areoverweight continues to grow．In the United States，over seventy percent of the populationhave weight problems．This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure andheart disease．

 Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can haveserious side effects，such as heart problems．However，it takes a long time to develop andthoroughly test new drugs．Therefore，despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-lossdrugs，scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weightgain is to have a healthy，balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise．This will notonly help people avoid becoming overweight，but also help them stay healthy and energetic．

28．According to the scientists，why do some people gain weight easily？

 A．Because their genes cause the tendency．

 B．Because their bodies do not make fat

 C．Because their bodies store energy from food as fat．

 D．Because they eat more than they need each day．

29．What do we know about the experiment？

 A．They did the experiment to find the gene that stop people from gaining weight．

 B．They did the experiment to find the reason why people gain weight．

 C．They did the experiment to show the importance of healthy food．

 D．They did the experiment to show the importance of regular exercise．

30．What may lead to high blood pressure according to the study？

 A．The balanced diet B．The weight problems

 C．The lack of exercise D．The lack of drugs

31．What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text？

 A．To inform us of serious side effects of the weight-loss drugs．

 B．To introduce a breakthrough of the weight-loss drugs．

 C．To advise us to develop a healthy lifestyle．

 D．To encourage us to develop and test new drugs．

 In February of 1942，Mexican farmer Dionisio Pulido thought he heard thunder comingfrom his cornfield．However，the sound wasn't coming from the sky．The source was a largesmoking break sending out gas and pushing out rocks．This opening would come to beknown as the volcano Paricutin，and over the next 9 years，its lava and ash would cover over200 square km．But where did this new volcano come from，and what caused its unpredictableeruption？

 One of the most common causes of an eruption is an increase in magmastatic（静磁）pressure．Magma（岩浆）contains various elements and compounds．At high enoughconcentrations，compounds like water or sulfur（硫）form high-pressure gas bubbles．Whenthese balls of gas reach the surface，they can burst with the force of a gunshot．And whenmillions of bubbles explode，the energy can send ash into the air．But before they pop or burst，theyact like bubbles of CO2 in a shaken soda．

 Not all eruptions are due to rising magmastatic pressure- sometimes the weight of therock above can become dangerously low．Landslides can remove massive quantities of rockfrom atop a magma chamber or room，dropping the pressure and instantly touching off aneruption．This process is known as “unloading” and it's been responsible for numerouseruptions，including the sudden explosion of Mount St．Helens in 1980．But unloading can alsohappen over longer periods of time due heating ice or melting glaciers．In fact，manygeologists are worried that glacial melt caused by climate change could increase volcanicactivity．

 Unfortunately，knowing what causes eruptions doesn't make them easy to predict．Whilescientists can roughly determine the strength and weight of the Earth's crust（地壳），the depthand heat of magma chambers makes measuring changes in magmastatic pressure very difficult．But volcanologists are constantly exploring new technology to overcome this rocky field．Advances in thermal imaging（热成像）have allowed scientists to detect underground hotspots．Spectrometers can analyze gases escaping mag ma．Hopefully，these tools will help us betterunderstand these gas breaks and their explosive eruptions

32．Why does the author mention the story of a farmer in the first paragraph？

 A．To show the power of volcano eruption．

 B．To introduce the topic．

 D．To explain the reason．

 C．To introduce the volcano Paricutin．

33．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to？

 A．The bubbles of CO2． B．The ash of the volcano．

 C．Gas bubbles of compounds． D．The elements of a soda．

34．Which of the following is true about the eruption of Mount St．Helens？

 A．Landslides should be responsible for its eruption．

 B．It began to explode over a long period of time．

 C．The process of "unloading"occurred after its explosion．

 D．The weight of the rock above it increased as to cause its eruption．

35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？

 A．Scientists can determine the eruption of volcano in advance．

 B．It is quite difficult to measure the weight of the Earth's crust．

 C．Spectrometers can help scientists to detect underground hotspots．

 D．Scientists are positive about further study of volcano eruption．

 Who do you count as your friends？From our BFF（best friend forever ）to a work mate，it's good to have someone to chat with or offer comfort and support．__36__

 The recent separation we have had due to the corona-virus pandemic or covid-19 hasmade some of us question our friendships．We've fallen out of touch with friendsand acquaintances，__37__but do we actually have to arouse every relationship we once had？It might be time to take stock and think about who you kept in touch with，who you missedtalking to，and who you didn't．In short，maybe it's time to reset your list of real mates．

 __38__ Writing for BBC Worklife，Bryan Lufkin says：“While people have known foryears that friendships are unquestionably good for your health，experts say it's only natural foracquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on—and it's nothing to feelguilty about．”

 Of course，it can be hard to choose who's in your friendship circle．This is what SuzanneDegges-White，professor of counselling at Northern Illinois University，calls our ‘friendscape’She says，“in life，as we go through certain stages and ages，our attention shifts，and we wantto be around people who are like us．”

 __39__ but we still need those special pals who've known us long term．These arefriendships we invest time in．According to Robin Dunbar，a professor of evolutionarypsychology at the University of Oxford，these are your inner circle of friends-your“shoulders to cry on” --__40__He adds that the friends that move away are mostly“friendships of convenience”．But the advice for maintaining a good friendship is to share howyou feel with someone you trust - this can help strengthen your friendship as well as givingyou both a chance to support each other

第二节（满分25分）

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

 It was an ordinary school day．I was in the fifth grade．Children like me who didn't liveclose enough to go home for lunch brought their paper wrapped meals and gathered under theshade of a tree．

 Such lunches usually consisted of a sandwich，hard-boiled egg，cookie and a piece of fruit．If a schoolmate's sandwich or cookie appeared to be more appetizing than your own，you triedto negotiate a trade．I always tried to trade something I didn't want anyway--a mashed-beansandwich or an overripe banana．It never occurred to me to trade a slice of Mama's OldKentucky walnut cake for my schoolmate's offering of a boring-looking sweet cookie，eventhough I could see longing in the exchanger's eyes．

 Sometimes Mama put two pieces of fruit in my lunch package，one to be eaten at morningrecess if I was hungry．Quite often，though，I saved that piece of fruit as my bargaining piecefor a sugary doughnut or fried apple pie．

 Unashamedly，I always examined the looks and quality of my fruit to see which piecewas better and then offered my classmate the poorer，less attractive piece．I felt no guilty ofselfishness．It was just a good trading sense．

 That autumn day after the lunch-bringers had eaten their food，got rid of the wrappingsand walked to various parts of the playground，I wandered under the shade of a maple，watching butterflies flying lazily southward．I was still hungry and Mama had put no fruit inmy lunch that day．
