Shark attacks in the screen are amazing. That’s because your actual chances of ever being attacked by a shark are only one in 11.5 million. That’s roughly the same as your chances of winning an Oscar, which makes shark attack survivor, Mike Coots both incredibly unlucky and lucky: When Mike was 18, he lost his leg to a shark bite.
“I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai — a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us.” That is until a large shark came right up under Mike and sank his teeth into Mike’s lower leg. As he tried to free himself, the shark bit down harder, shaking its head back and forth and tossing Mike around like a rag doll. Mike followed his instinct(本能): He struck the shark in the face, again and again until the shark released him. As Mike swam back into shore, he realized his lower right leg was gone. Mike’s friends rushed to his aid, and sent him to the hospital.
As soon as Mike was well, he did what many of us might consider unthinkable: he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead, he was curious — why was he attacked? His curiosity led him to research sharks, and Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around.
His situation as a shark survivor empowered him to give sharks a voice, Mike says. He began working with the Hawaii state authorities to help pass a ban (禁令) on shark-derived products. “I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge (极力主张) senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.”
24. Why does the author show the chances of being attacked by sharks?
A. To inform readers of some relevant knowledge.
B. To show everyone has the chance of winning an Oscar.
C. To attract people to watch shark attacks in the screen.
D. To highlight Mike’s unusual experience of the shark attack.
25. How did Mike survive the shark attack?
A. By hitting the shark hard continually.
B. By swimming desperately to the shore.
C. By screaming loudly for his friends’ help.
D. By shaking its head up and down to get away.
26. What came to mind when Mike rode the waves again?
A. To overcome his fear of sharks.
B. To find out the reason for his being attacked.
C. To prove humans are more dangerous than sharks.
D. To research on how sharks attack humans.
27. What did Mike do to protect sharks?
A. He passed a ban on shark-derived products.
B. He urged shark attack survivors to protect sharks.
C. He tried to help the authorities to protect sharks.
D. He signed a nationwide bill in Washington.
C
Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health, the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary (惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle, increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese (肥胖的).
The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged.
“Although the mechanisms (机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS- Institut Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement.
Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep.
Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University (SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness.
Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed.
28. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2?
A. Increased suddenly.  B. Decreased slowly. 
C. Stayed the same.  D. Lost the balance.
29. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior?
A. By changing the time they eat.
B. By changing their taste for food.
C. By influencing how fast they eat.
D. By influencing their feeling of fullness.
30. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’s study?
A. It affected children’s sleep. 
B. It led to children’s obesity.
C. It resulted in diet problems. 
D. It negatively influenced moods.
31. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem?
A. Reduce its products’ battery life. 
B. Provide a screen time feature.
C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools. 
D. Add a “wind down” option to its products.
 D
Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019. And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民). They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”
32. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?
A. To protect the local people. 
B. To beautify the city.
C. To reduce water usage. 
D. To reduce waste.
33. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?
A. Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C. Praising those who signed on the program.
D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.
34. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Many residents won’t follow the ban.
B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally.
C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.
D. Water officials should take many factors into consideration.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass
B. A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C. Choices between Beauty and Practice
D. Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas

Ways to Live Your Life with Purpose
No matter who you are or what you do, there is a purpose for life. A sense of purpose is an essential(必不可少的) part of a happy life.    36    Here are three tips to follow if you want to do so.
Learn to be self-aware. People tend to overestimate（高估）their strong points and ignore their weak points.    37    Be realistic and don’t be afraid to face your imperfections. When you know your personality you have better chances to figure out your purpose and stick to it.
   38    That’s what really gives you the sense of purpose. What do you love to do most? If you still cannot give an answer to this question, you risk living a useless life. I’m strongly convinced（相信） that everybody should have something favorite to pursue in his life. Your enthusiasm（热情） makes your life worthwhile and meaningful.
Make use of goal setting. Recognizing your goals isn’t enough; you should learn to set right goals. Your goals should always be accurate and realistic. Setting short-term and long-term goals can add meaning to your life.    39    It’s exactly your goals that make you get up earlier and work harder.
It is natural that you will find it difficult to follow all the tips at once.    40    Regardless of your purpose, you should do your best to achieve it. A meaningful life will give you the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction and you’ll feel happier every day.
A. Stay inspired.
B. Follow your passion.
C. Therefore, you have to make great efforts to live your life with purpose.
D. When you see the direction, it’s easier to stay motivated and determined.
E. The real purpose of living lies beyond the responsibilities of your daily life.
F. You can start with small steps and gradually make all the habits part of your life.
G. However, if you want to find your life purpose, you should learn your true self first.

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。
 Dad and Mom had got to go on a four-day business trip. They taught their elder son Daniel and younger daughter Jane how to feed and look after their dog, Spot, how to take good care of themselves—learning to cook if they could, or ordering pizza—with money left on the table—if they were busy, and told them to keep their rooms clean and tidy. They asked Daniel to be in charge.
On the very morning when the parents left, Mom kissed them and said to Daniel gently, “Young man, do take care of Spot and Jane.” Daniel promised, “I will, Mom.”
Too excited to fall asleep again, Daniel and Jane jumped out of bed, calling out each other to get up. Their pet dog, Spot, heard the similar voice and rushed in, with a ball in its mouth. Jane stuck(伸) her head into Daniel’s room,“Spot got up an hour earlier. Let’s walk it.” Daniel said excitedly, “I’m coming, but, Jane, don’t forget to keep your room clean and tidy.” “I will.”
They ran with the dog in the yard and threw the ball away for Spot to bring it back. They had fun playing with Spot the whole morning. Washing Spot was slow and tiring as it was the first time they had done it. Then Daniel settled down to his homework while Jane did her reading with interest.
The following day, Jane begged her brother to order pizza for lunch. Daniel agreed excitedly, “We haven’t tasted that for long and we behave ourselves, right?”After a while, he added, “We should save money, too.” Within half an hour, they treated themselves to a big pizza. However, in the afternoon, Spot looked sick, lying lazily and unwilling to move. Daniel was concerned about the dog and took it to the pet clinic immediately with Jane as their parents had done.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
When Dad and Mom arrived a day earlier, they were amazed to find everything in a mess（凌乱）.

Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%. (据估计，在拉斯维加斯，无用的草占所有草的40%，它需要大量的水来生存。草需要比干燥气候植物如仙人掌多四倍的水。通过把草坪清理掉，这座城市每年的用水量可以减少15%。)”可知，拉斯维加斯城试图通过立法清理掉没有用的草，主要目的是节约用水。故选C。
13. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. (2003年，南内华达州水务局禁止开发商在新房前种植草坪。每拆一平方米草坪它还向房主提供30美元的优惠。但是现在越来越少的人使用这个方案。)”可知，2003年在拉斯维加斯实施了鼓励居民把草拔掉的方案。故选B。
14. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. ‘There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,’ Campbell said. ‘For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.’ (Cynthia Campbell是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯市的水资源顾问。他说：“城市限制对一些居民来说可能过于苛刻。他们会说，这对他们来说是无法挽回的。对一些人来说，它是一个游泳池。对一些人来说，它是草。”)”可推知，Campbell在最后一段话中暗示了对改革的反应因人而异。故选B。
15. A 标题判断题。根据第二段“Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks. (现在，该市要求内华达州立法机关禁止使用无用的草。它正试图成为美国第一个禁止这种草坪的地方，这种草坪经常出现在街道之间、住宅开发项目和办公园区中)”结合本文主要讲的是拉斯维加斯城准备通过一项法律，在城市里禁止使用没有用途的草，其目的是节约用水，可知，A项“拉斯维加斯计划禁止使用无用的草”最适合做本文的标题。故选A。
 
第二节
36. C 空前一句说目的感是幸福生活的必要组成部分，空处应承接上文，说明你应该为有目的的生活付出努力，C项符合语境，与前一句构成因果关系。空后一句中的“do so”指的就是C项中的“live your life with purpose”。

37. G 段首句“Learn to be self-aware”为本段主旨句，说的是要学会了解自己，故下文应该围绕该主题展开。空前一句说人们往往会高估自己的强项，忽视自己的弱项，然而要想有目的地生活，就得了解真实的自我。G项中的“learn your true self”与“Learn to be self-aware”相照应。故G项符合语境。
38. B 由本段中的关键信息“have something favorite to pursue”和“enthusiasm”可以概括出本段的主旨：追随你热衷的爱好。段落中所提到的喜欢做的事、追求最喜爱的事物都意味着要追随你热衷的爱好，故选B项。
39. D 由第四段的内容可知，本段与目标设定有关。空格前一句提到“Setting short-term and long-term goals”，说明要确定目标；空后一句提到“your goals that make you get up earlier and work harder”，说明确定目标后你的变化。D项“当你看到方向，保持动力和决心就更容易”承上启下，说明设定目标的意义。
40. F 本段是文章的总结性段落，前一句“立刻听从上面提到的所有建议自然是件困难的事情”，空处应承接前一句，说明可以分步实施，故F项正确。

 第三部分 写作 第一节 
Dear Peter,
Nice to receive your letter, in which you sought for my advice on whether you should choose Chinese as a second language. I consider it as a wise choice.
For one thing, Chinese is certainly one of the oldest and most beautiful languages that are still being used in the world. For another, the handwriting of Chinese is quite special and unique, thus helping you create a new way of thinking.
If you learn Chinese well, you can communicate with the largest population in the world, which provides you with more opportunities to make a career. What’s more, the Chinese language is sure to give you a glimpse of the colourful culture of China.
May you do well in learning Chinese. If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to write to me.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

2. She apologized to Daniel sincerely and hugged him in her arms, saying that “you are really growing up into a young man.”（现在分词作状语）

When Dad and Mom arrived a day earlier, they were amazed to find everything in a mess. Mom was angry and shouted, “Listen to me, young man—I left you in charge. We thought you would act like an adult, but look at the mess. The money for food has been used up but why does Spot still look hungry? What did you do with the money we left?” Jane explained anxiously, “Mummy, Spot is sick, so we spent the rest of the money taking it to the pet clinic.”
Daniel ran into his room, with tears in his eyes,“Jane, there is no need to explain and Mom won’t trust me any longer.” Comforting Mom, Dad said calmly, “There is probably a good explanation for everything.” Hearing the little daughter’s words, Mom understood that the reason why they had no time to clean the house was that they waited for Spot at the clinic all day. Mom regretted acting so angrily and was satisfied that Daniel learnt to be responsible for others. She apologized to Daniel sincerely and hugged him in her arms, saying that “you are really growing up into a young man.”
