It was just the three of us—my parents and me. My dad is a truck driver, and when I was a little kid, he was gone most of the time, delivering supplies around the Mid-west. Then we moved to a small house in Brighton. Colorado on my third birthday. There weren't any kids my age in the neighborhood, so I mostly played in the yard with the dogs. I had a lot of imaginary friends—a whole family, actually, with a husband, children, a best friend...no joke.

My first memory is our neighbor Arlene handing me strawberries from her garden. One day, my parents asked Arlene and her husband Bill whether they'd watch me when they went out. This worked well, so it became a weekly occurrence.

When I was about five, I had an idea: “What if I adopted Bill and Arlene as my grandparents?” I knocked on their door and said, “Will you guys be my grandparents?” They started crying and enthusiastically accepted it. Soon after, they printed out an adoption certificate and it hung on their living room wall from then on.

I remember being surprised that they took my offer so seriously. Thinking of that moment still brings tears to my eyes. There's something truly remarkable about a child offering her love and adults being so ecstatic to accept it. From the day I adopted them, I called Bill and Arlene grandpa and grandma. Pretty soon, my parents were calling them Dad and Mom. Even our animals would often sneak out of our yard to visit them. Over the years, Bill and Arlene supported me in all my dreams. And when I got accepted to a university, they presented me with a fund. They told me they'd been putting away money since the day I adopted them.

After Arlene passed away, Bill gave me the ring he'd gifted to Arlene. It's a simple gold band that I wear on my ring finger as a reminder of the kind of love I wish to put into this world.

4. Before meeting Bill and Arlene, the author probably felt ______.

A. worried B. scared C. lonely D. desperate

5. What do we know about the author's adopted grandparents?

A. They were unfriendly to her animals

B. They influenced her to reward the world.

C. They ignored her offer to adopt them at first.

D. They gave all their savings to help her with study.

6. What can we learn from the story?

A. Parents should keep their kids company B. Love goes beyond blood relationship

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed D. There is no place like home

7. What's the author's purpose to write the text?

A. To recall her childhood.

B. To encourage herself to pursue dreams.

C. To treasure the memory of her “grandparents”

D. To thank her “grandparents” for their instructions.

【答案】4. C    5. B    6. B    7. C

C

If a president and a philosopher owed their success to the same secret, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth”. Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise. Accustom yourself to walking very far.”

Are you still sitting there reading this? Get walking! It is not just the two great minds who made a case for it as a main creativity booster（推动）. Researchers have traced numerous connections between walking and novel ideas. A Standford University study found that participants were 81% more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—versus on a treadmill（跑步机）—produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.

The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You've probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative thinking is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking—with your dog, a friend or alone—feeds creative thinking.

But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. A survey reveals that Americans spend 87% of their time indoors. Being inside, you're more likely to have less energy. Without energy, you can't wonder or create. Interrupting your routine with a walk can be a catalyst（催化剂）for gaining fresh insights into problems or projects. Just by going outside，you are stepping out of your comfort zone which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood or a park and observe people wandering or birds singing.

So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creative goal that starts with walking? Engage more closely with your surroundings. Walk just for exercise. Walk for wonder.

8. Why are the two great minds mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. To suggest the way to exercise B. To show the benefits of walking.

C. To give the definition of success D. To stress the importance of creativity

9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Motivated. B. Blocked. C. Controlled. D. Changed.

10. Why is the scenery important according to the text?

A. Americans spend most of their time enjoying it.

B. One can't wonder or create without it.

C. It can build a comfort zone for people.

D. It will expose people to new chances.

11. What's the best title for the text?

A. Scenery inspires new ideas. B. Your creativity lies in sweat.

C. Exercise feeds creative thinking. D. Your brain is made for walking.

【答案】8. B    9. A    10. D    11. D

D

Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway? The answer is a combination of athletics and science.

At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag（摩擦力和阻力）from slowing the sled down.

The design of the sled's runners（滑板）reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.

Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull（外壳）. As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.

Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”

12. What's the text mainly about?

A. The shape of the sled. B. The design of the runners.

C. The safety rules applying to the sled. D. The elements relating to the sled's speed

13. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.

B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.

C. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward.

D. A sled's movement has nothing to do with weather.

14. What advantage does a sled with a hull have?

A. It's comfortable to sit in. B. It leads to beneficial air flow.

C. It helps to create a safe ride. D. It's free from strict rules.

15. What is implied in the last paragraph?

A. Safety is the most important. B. Keeping high speed is difficult.

C. Riders' desire to win is understandable. D. The crew's cooperation is necessary.

【答案】12. D    13. A    14. B    15. A

第二节（满分25分）

47. 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。

Ellen Kalish runs the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in New York. She is used to getting calls about taking in wild animals. When a man called asking if she could rescue an owl（猫头鹰）, she was happy to help. Then, the caller told her where this tiny owl was hiding out. It was found inside the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center, where it is a yearly tradition to decorate trees. But this year，the tree looked a little worse. Many people made fun of its sagging（低垂的）branches. They called the tree a “symbol of 2020”, meaning its sad look reminded them how tough the past year was.

The tale of the owl's rescue quickly became the highlight of this year's tree. Before the tree was put up to decorate, one of the workers spotted the creature. It was buried in the base of the tree. The owl most likely traveled with the tree on its journey to Manhattan. So, how did it end up stuck in the tree in the first place?

Kalish offered a few possibilities. The owl could have flown to the tree to hide there because it was injured and then got trapped later. Or maybe once the tree was loaded onto a truck the branches squeezed it into the trunk. The bird may have just been too scared to move. Actually, there is no proof about where it came from. “That would be the last place it would want to go. Why would it pick that tree if it had a choice not to? It's smart and it wouldn't do that. ,” she explained.

In that case, the worker had to bring the owl home. He decided to find a place that rescues wildlife animals. That was why he called the Center. After Kalish got the full story about the bird. she met the man at a gas station. Then the man handed her a box with the owl inside.

Paragraph 1:

Kalish opened the box gently.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Several days passing, the owl looked in good shape.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Kalish opened the box gently.The owl was standing in a cardboard box, looking straight at her. “I thought, this is a miracle! How did this bird survive this trip?”She named the owl Rockefeller, or “Rocky.”“She was super hungry,” she says, estimating that she probably had not been able to eat or drink for at least a few days. She immediately gave her water and food—a few frozen mice—which she ate quickly. A veterinarian examined her, and x-rays showed that she had no broken bones or inner damage. By Thursday, Rocky started to bathe herself—a sign she was feeling good. (An owl bath, Kalish says, leads to “water everywhere.”)
Several days passing, the owl looked in good shape.On Friday, Kalish moved Rocky to an outdoor practice cage so she could get used to new circumstance. and Kalish could monitor her flight. By Tuesday at dusk, she seemed ready to go. Kalish brought Rocky to a clearing of nearby forest, removed her from her carrier and raised her toward the sky. Rocky sat on Kalish’s hand for several moments, surveying her surroundings. Then, she flew off, settling in a nearby pine tree.
