一、阅读理解
My father had died when I was young, so if I didn’t acknowledge my mother’s birthday, likely no one would. On her birthday, I decided to bake her some cookies, take them to her house and leave them with a little note for her.
But what to write about? My mother and I had not always been close. Pouring out words of love seemed insincere, but there were plenty of things I did appreciate, so I wrote a letter expressing my appreciation for what she had taught me. She taught me to live within our means and not to go into debt. She taught me the color of someone’s skin was irrelevant. She taught me helping others in need was its own reward. She taught me to value the elderly. She taught me how to see the shapes in the clouds. She taught me to appreciate the way the air smelled after a rain.
Having finished the letter, I sent the cookies and the handwritten letter to my mother. That evening, she called and thanked me, saying it was a wonderful birthday present.
Two years later, she suffered a fatal heart attack. While cleaning out her house, I came across a photocopy of the birthday letter I had written to her in the drawer of the bedside table in the guest room. And then room after room, drawer after drawer revealed more photocopies of the same letter. There was one in the kitchen drawer and one taped to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. I also found one in a drawer in both bathrooms, another in the living room and two more in her bedroom.
Finally, I opened the drawer beside her bed, where I found an old handkerchief and as I pulled it out, a wrinkled piece of paper fluttered to the floor. It was the original birthday letter. It had been smoothed over and over again. I realized at that moment that the best things I could have given my mother weren’t really things at all.
1．What did the author learn from her mother?
A．Live a happy life regardless of how much money one has.
B．We should treat people of different skin colors differently.
C．One can be rewarded a lot of money when helping others.
D．It’s of great importance to explore the beauty of nature.
2．While cleaning out his mother’s house, the author probably felt ________.
A．alarmed but convinced B．confused but happy
C．surprised but touched D．puzzled but inspired
3．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．What her mother value was her love not the gift itself.
B．She should never have sent any present to her mother.
C．Of all the gifts she had given her mother, nothing was best.
D．No gift was better than what she had given her mother.

Environmental groups and rock climbers are always at loggerheads because of the effect of rock climbing on the environment. There have been many examples, wherein rock climbers are accused of going into natural reserves and treating the animals, plants and rocks there badly. However, with the changing times, rock climbers are conscious and carry out minimal climbing.
Rock climbers hammer bolts on climbing routes and in the process damage the nature of rocks. In addition, climbing activities also have an effect on the animals and plants situated near the climbing area. The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled, and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around. For example, during the summer climbing season, pregnant females of an endangered species of snake live in open areas like roadsides, exposed walls or rocks, where there is less canopy closure compared to areas occupied by non-pregnant females and males. According to climbers, these open areas are very suitable for climbing during summer.
Many rock climbers have understood the significance of wildlife plant and animal preservation and related issues, and therefore take measures to reduce effects on climbing areas. Considering the effect of climbing activities on natural reserves, various national parks and wildlife agencies have put forth certain regulations on climbers. There are seasonal closures of climbing areas to avoid illegal entrance of uninformed rock climbers.
Climbers are always expected to support wilderness preservation. Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the process draw up certain guidelines for rock climbers. Both sides have come to a common understanding of the effect of rock climbers on protected areas.
4．What does the underlined part “at loggerheads” in Paragraph 1 mean ________.
A．in support B．in difficulty
C．in disagreement D．in communication
5．Why is the example of snakes mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．To show how special their living habits are.
B．To show rock climbing affects their lives.
C．To show climbers are exposed to great danger.
D．To show how to avoid wild animals in summer.
6．What do environmental organizations do to preserve wilderness?
A．Give guidelines to rock climbers.
B．Accuse climbers of their climbing.
C．Close some secured natural reserves.
D．Encourage climbers to choose open areas.

The food delivery industry now is a hotly competitive business, attracting the world's biggest moneybags such as Amazon, Alibaba and Soft-Bank. Balancing the needs of diners, cooks and couriers（快递员）is complicated. Most new companies lose money. Yet they have received more than $30bn from venture capitalists （投资家）in the past five years. And they are likely to get more.
The food-delivery business can be divided into two camps: mostly profitable veterans（老牌公司）and loss-making newcomers. The veterans, founded at the start of the century, are led by publicly traded Grubhub in America, and Just Eat and Takeaway in Europe. They account for the largest share of the market, offering customers online access to restaurants. Their relatively simple business model, in which they take a cut of the bill from the restaurants, has enabled Grubhub and Just Eat to turn a profit for years. Takeaway makes money in its home market of the Netherlands.
The newbies, born more recently, have turned a once-tidy business into a food fight. For most of them, delivery is their core business, so they share their cut of the bill with riders as well as restaurants. This substantially broadens the market to restaurants but profit suffers.
The only mouthwatering aspect of the delivery business is its potential size. According to Bernstein, a brokerage（经济公司），almost a third of the global restaurant industry is made up of home delivery, takeaway and drive-throughs, which could be worth $l tm by 2023. In 2019 delivery amounted to $161bn, leaving plenty of room for online firms to expand.
Yet it is by no means clear if anyone can make money by delivering meals. In fact, the economics may be even worse. Delivery businesses have ways to cut their losses. One is to diversify further, by delivering groceries, flowers, booze, and even people, as well as meals. Another is to provide cheaper meals by centrally supplying ingredients to restaurants. In the dog — eat — dog world of food delivery, it will still be hard.
7．How can the veterans make a profit?
A．They get lots of support from capitalists.
B．They offer customers great convenience.
C．They draw a part of profit from restaurants.
D．They balance the complicated needs successfully.
8．What makes the delivery business attractive?
A．Massive profits. B．Development prospect.
C．Satisfying service. D．Efficient management.
9．What is the author's attitude towards making money by delivering meals?
A．Positive. B．Definite. C．Uncertain. D．Confident.
10．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Delivery businesses balance some complicated needs.
B．Meal delivery attracts the world's biggest moneybags.
C．The two camps of delivery businesses compete fiercely.
D．The food-delivery business is anything but a tasty business.

二、七选五
Is it time to ditch sugar?
It’s no secret that sugar can cause issues if you’re indulging (放任) in a little too much of the sweet stuff. Still, most Americans are eating too much sugar. The harmful effects it can have on your physical health are well studied. 11．.
Sugar can affect your mood
You probably turn to a doughnut (甜甜圈) or soda for an extra boost during a long day. Yet sugar may not be such a positive pick-me-up after all. Recent research indicates that sugary treats have no positive effect on mood. 12．.
One study published in 2017 found that consuming a diet high in sugar can increase the chances of mood disorders. A more recent 2019 study found that regular consumption of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) and added sugars were related to higher feelings of anxiety in adults over age 60.
13．
It’s hard to avoid reaching for comfort foods, especially after a difficult day. But the cycle of consuming sugar to manage your emotions may only make your feelings of sadness, tiredness, or hopelessness worse. Multiple studies have found a link between diets high in sugar and depression.
14．. These can lead to depression and may even increase the long-term risk of developing a mental health disorder in some people.
Sugar destroys your brain power
Emerging research has found that diets high in sugar can damage cognitive functioning, even in the absence of extreme weight gain or too much energy intake. A 2015 study found that consuming high levels of sugar-sweetened drinks made neurocognitive functions like decision making and memory worse. 15．. But a more recent study found that healthy volunteers in their 20s scored worse on memory tests and had poorer appetite control after just 7 days of eating a diet high in saturated fat and added sugars.
Although more studies are needed to solidify the effects on mental health of sugar consumption, it’s important to consider how diet can affect your well-being.
A.Sugar can weaken your ability to deal with stress
B.Granted, the research was done on rats
C.Overconsumption of sugar triggers imbalances in certain brain chemicals
D.Sugar can increase your risk for developing depression
E.In fact, sugar may have the opposite effect over time
F.However, the effect on mental health is worth taking a second look
G.If you’re dying for sweets, here’s what to eat instead

六、读后续写
47．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago, as I was on a business trip from San Francisco to New Orleans, I noticed I would have some time at the airport in Dallas before catching my connecting flight.So I called my friend Luke who lived in Dallas “Luke, I’ve got an hour-and-a-half stop at the airport. If you’ll come out and meet my plane, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Luke enthusiastically agreed.
When the pilot announced that our flight would be delayed an extra few minutes in San Francisco, I became upset. Every minute that passed was one minute less that I would be able to spend with my friend.The plane arrived in Dallas an hour late.That left me only half an hour to stay with Luke and I still needed time to catch my connecting flight. At this point, I knew our having dinner together was totally out of the question.
When I stepped off the plane, Luke was there, waiting for me.“Hey, Luke,” I said apologetically, “Thanks for coming out to meet me. I hope you didn’t have to wait here too long.”
“Oh, no problem,” he replied easily. “I called ahead and found out your plane was going to be late.”
“Oh, good,” I replied.“Look, I’m really sorry about dinner, but I’ll owe you one next time. Come on, we’ll find out what gate my next plane is leaving from. We can head over there together and talk a bit.”
“I am very interested in having dinner with you,” he said to me.
“The only way you’re going to have dinner with me tonight is if you buy a plane ticket to New Orleans!”
“We’re having dinner,” replied Luke with determination. “Believe me, I have this whole thing arranged. Just follow me.”
He picked up one of my bags and carried it out through the security check. The two of us hurried down a short flight of stairs in the parking garage and walked rapidly along several rows of cars until we came to the place where Luke’s car was parked.
Paragraph 1:
I immediately noticed, in the parking space next to his car, a folding table.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With seven and one-half minutes to go, we put everything back in the car and ran for my plane.

参考答案
1．D
2．C
3．A
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现妈妈把自己写的信复印成很多份，放在家里的各个角落，发现此事后作者恍然大悟：妈妈珍惜的是作者对她的爱，而不是礼物本身。
1．
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Pouring out words of love seemed insincere, but there were plenty of things I did appreciate, so I wrote a letter expressing my appreciation for what she had taught me.(向她倾诉爱意似乎不太真诚，但我确实感激她的很多东西，所以我写了一封信，对她教给我的东西表示感谢)”以及“She taught me to appreciate the way the air smelled after a rain. (她教我如何看云的形状。她教我欣赏雨后空气的味道)”可推测，作者从妈妈那里学会了探索自然美丽的重要性，她因此而感激她。故选D。
2．
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While cleaning out her house, I came across a photocopy of the birthday letter I had written to her in the drawer of the bedside table in the guest room. And then room after room, drawer after drawer revealed more photocopies of the same letter. There was one in the kitchen drawer and one taped to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. I also found one in a drawer in both bathrooms, another in the living room and two more in her bedroom.(在打扫她的房子时，我在客房床头柜的抽屉里发现了我给她写的生日信的复印件。在一个又一个房间、一个又一个抽屉里，都发现了同一封信的更多复印件。有一个在厨房抽屉里，一个贴在厨房橱柜里面。我还在两间浴室的抽屉里都发现了一个，客厅里还有一个，卧室里还有两个)”以及最后一段中“Finally, I opened the drawer beside her bed, where I found an old handkerchief and as I pulled it out, a wrinkled piece of paper fluttered to the floor. It was the original birthday letter. It had been smoothed over and over again.(最后，我打开她床边的抽屉，发现一块旧手帕，当我把它拉出来时，一张皱巴巴的纸扑通一声落在地板上。这是最初的生日信。它被一遍又一遍地磨平了)”可推知，在打扫他母亲的房子时，作者看到这么多生日信的复印件感到惊讶，最后又看到母亲把那封最初的生日信都磨平了，可推测作者可能感到惊讶又感动。故选C。
3．
词句猜测题。上文提到的作者的妈妈把信复印成很多份，放在家里的各个地方，再结合划线句子“I realized at that moment that the best things I could have given my mother weren't really things at all.( 那一刻我意识到，我能给母亲的最好的东西根本就不是那些真实存在的东西)”猜测，这句话的意思是：作者意识到，妈妈珍惜自己通过礼物向她表达的爱意，而非礼物本身。所以，妈妈才会把信复印成很多份，放在家里所有自己能看到的地方。即画线句子意思是“她母亲看重的是她的爱，而不是礼物本身”。故选A。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了攀岩运动对环境的影响，环保组织和攀岩者经常发生争执。然而，随着时代的变迁，攀岩者会有意识地进行最低限度的攀岩。文章还举例说明了攀岩者对攀爬区域附近的动物和植物产生影响。但是许多攀岩者了解到保护野生动植物的重要性及相关问题，因此采取措施减少对攀岩区域的影响。为了保护环境，已经成立了许多环境组织，并在这个过程中为攀岩者制定了一些指导方针。

5．
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled, and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around.

According to climbers, these open areas are very ft for climbing during summer.(生长在岩石底部附近的植物被践踏，每当有人类在附近时，生活在攀登区域的动物就被迫离开它们的地方。例如，在夏季攀爬季节，一种濒临灭绝的蛇类的怀孕雌蛇生活在路边、裸露的墙壁或岩石等开放区域，与非怀孕雌蛇和雄蛇所占据的区域相比，这里的树冠郁闭程度较低。据攀岩者说，在夏季，这些开阔地带非常适合攀岩)”可推知，第二段中提到蛇的例子是为了表明攀岩对蛇的影响。故选B。
6．
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the process draw up certain guidelines for rock climbers.(为了保护环境，已经成立了许多环境组织，并在这个过程中为攀岩者制定了一些指导方针)”可知，环保组织为保护荒野为攀岩者提供指导。故选A。

这是一篇新闻报道。篮球传奇人物科比·布莱恩特和他的一个女儿周日早上在加州卡拉巴萨斯一架直升机坠毁在山坡上，9人遇难。从现役和退役的NBA球员到美国前总统奥巴马，所有人都在哀悼科比的逝世。文章主要列举了NBA快船教练Doc Rivers对科比的评价等。
36．
考查动词语态。句意：篮球传奇人物科比·布莱恩特和他的一个女儿周日早上在加州卡拉巴萨斯一架直升机坠毁在山坡上，9人遇难。此处主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，结合上文were可知为一般过去时的被动语态。故填killed。
37．
考查介词。句意：从现役和退役的NBA球员到美国前总统奥巴马，所有人都在哀悼科比的逝世。结合句意表示“从……到……”短语为from…to…。故填to。
38．
考查名词。句意：从现役和退役的NBA球员到美国前总统奥巴马，所有人都在哀悼科比的逝世。根据上文名词所有格Bryant's，可知应填名词death，作宾语，表抽象概念为不可数名词。故填death。
39．
考查动词时态。句意：与科比相识多年的NBA快船教练Doc Rivers在谈到这个问题时很激动。根据后文“for many years”可知此处可用过去完成时，表示“过去的过去”，也可用一般过去时，表示描述过去发生的事情。故填had known/ knew。
40．
考查形容词。句意：与科比相识多年的NBA快船教练Doc Rivers在谈到这个问题时很激动。根据上文was可知应填形容词emotional，作表语。故填emotional。
41．
考查形容词。句意：他是这样一个伟大的对手，他帮助激发了我们的潜力。此处引导结果状语从句，表示“如此……以至于……”用such…that…，such修饰名词opponent。故填such。
42．
考查表语从句。句意：这就是你在体育运动中想要的。空处引导表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指事情应用what。故填what。
43．
考查定语从句。句意：他还说科比拥有很少有运动员拥有的“DNA”。此处为定语从句修饰先行词the “DNA”，先行词在从句中作宾语，指物，故应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
44．
考查冠词。句意：大多数人会记得科比，作为一个伟大的运动员，他激励了整整一代的篮球运动员，但我将永远记住他，作为一个人，他不仅仅是一个运动员。generation为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且whole是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故填a。
45．
考查连词。句意：大多数人会记得科比，作为一个伟大的运动员，他激励了整整一代的篮球运动员，但我将永远记住他，作为一个人，他不仅仅是一个运动员。上文提到科比是伟大的运动员，激励了整整一代的篮球运动员，后文则说他不仅仅是运动员，前后为转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。
46．Dear Mike,
I’m writing this letter to extend my hearty gratitude for your presence at the English Corner last Sunday, which proved to be successful with your assistance.
Without your help, we students couldn’t have known so much first-hand knowledge about Western cultures, especially the festival part you shared with us, which impressed us deeply. Apart from it, if it had not been for your patient guidance, some students wouldn’t have managed to express themselves in English for the first time and build confidence.
Again, I’d like to express my thanks to you and wish you all the best!
Yours,
Li Hua

47．One Possible Version:
I immediately noticed, in the parking space next to his car, a folding table. Luke opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a tablecloth, two folding chairs, a bottle of champagne and a few dishes he had arranged. There we were, sitting across the table from each other in the middle of a parking lot, toasting each other with champagne and grinning from ear to ear brightly. Drivers in search of a parking place were annoyed at us for taking up the space, but once they took a closer look, many of them broke into astonished smiles. Anybody who would do something like that for another person must be a beautiful human being.
With seven and one-half minutes to go, we put everything back in the trunk and ran for my plane. Fortunately, we arrived at the gate with only seconds to spare. The flight attendant grabbed my ticket and rushed me on board. I collapsed into my seat, relieved and energized by the whole thrilling experience.Throughout the entire flight, images of the dinner with Luke popped into my head. The whole thing had happened so quickly that I hadn’t really had a chance to thank him properly. So as soon as the plane landed I called him and said, “Luke, that was such a wonderful thing you did for me. Thank you.”
【分析】
本文属于读后续写。文章讲述了“我”几年前从旧金山出差到新奥尔良时，在达拉斯机场搭乘中转飞机前和朋友卢克一起吃晚餐的故事。本以为在中转机到来前，“我”会有一个半小时的时间和朋友卢克吃晚餐，但因为飞机延误最终只有半个小时留给“我”。这时的“我”对于卢克表示抱歉，告诉卢克说欠他一个人情，下次才能请他吃饭。而卢克说我们正在吃饭的途中，之后，卢克带着我走下停车场的楼梯，来到卢克的车停放的地方。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
由第一段首句内容“我立刻注意到，在他车旁的停车位，有一张折叠桌。”可知，第一段可描写“我”和卢克在停车场的这这张折叠桌上共度晚餐的情景。
由第二段首句内容“离飞机起飞还有7分半钟，我们把所有东西都放回车里，然后跑去赶飞机。”可知，第二段可描写我们幸运的赶上飞机，之后我对卢克本次的款待表示感谢。
2.续写线索：看到折叠桌——坐在桌子旁——一起喝香槟——周围司机的惊讶——7分钟后飞机起飞——赶上飞机——回忆朋友的款待——打电话感谢朋友
3.词汇激活
行为类
①到达：arrive/ reach/ get to
②回忆：recall/call to mind/ look back on
③发生：happen/ take place
情绪类
①震惊：astonished/ surprised
②感谢：thank/ show gratitude /be grateful
