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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A

When Erin Shields sang “Being Alive,” a popular song from the Broadway show “Company," the song had extra levels of meaning.

Shields and her husband David Shenton are touring musicians. They could not perform around the world during the coronavirus pandemic. So they broadcast virtual concerts from home to raise money for the Mosaic West Queens Church in New York City. The concerts brought thousands of dollars to the church to help feed hungry people living in the neighborhood. They also gave the two musicians a chance to continue their artistic lives.

It began when they saw the long lines of people waiting for food outside the church near their home. Several of their friends had lost jobs after Broadway theaters closed. And they felt the need to help.

In September, they volunteered at the church to give away boxes of food to families two times a week. As time  passed, they felt the need to do more for others during the pandemic. “I'm not a doctor ... I don't really have much to offer. But you know, we can perform,” said Shields.

She is an opera singer from the American state of Illinois. Her husband Shenton is a British composer, pianist and violinist. And their artistic friends were willing to join for a good cause.

“We have all these connections to Broadway singers outside of their work on Broadway, so we wanted to capitalize on that,” Shenton said.

During a recent virtual concert, smiling families, watching on their computers at home, clapped and sang along. Among the performers were Broadway musicians known for their work in shows such as “Hamilton” and “The Little Mermaid” as well as" Les Miserables."

Shields said volunteering became especially important last year when New York turned into the center of the pandemic. “If you're feeling low, volunteer, give back to other people, because it will make you feel better,” Shields said.

21. What can we learn about Erin Shields?

A. She found a new job during the pandemic.

B. The song “Being Alive” made her more popular.

C. She gave up her artistic life to help hungry people.

D. Virtual concerts enabled her to continue her performance.

22.What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. Take advantage of.

B. Keep track of.

C. Get the hang of.

D. Make a list of.

23. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Volunteering Makes People Feel Better

B. Musicians Raise Money to Feed Neighbors

C. Music Gives People Strength to Pull Through

D. Food Supply Becomes too Low in New York

B

A pair of earth scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpu are calling for flood prevention and warning systems in areas around the Himalayan mountains to protect people from floods or to warn them of the potential disasters. In their Perspectives piece published in the journal Science, Tanuj Shukla and Indra Sen point out that rising temperatures due to global warming are leading to an increase in flood danger for people who live in the area.

As Shukla and Sen note, the Himalayas hold the most ice anywhere on the planet outside of the polar regions-snow-covered mountains and glaciers hold on to massive amounts of water. In the past, as snow and ice have melted in the warmer months, mountain lakes have formed with natural dams holding them in place. But previous research has shown that increases in the amount of water buildup in such xue lakes and melting of the ice in the rocky material that makes up natural dams can lead to ke wang massive floods. Just eight years ago, they note, melting ice in northern India led to an avalanche (雪崩） that pushed the natural dams past its breaking point. The water rushing down the mountain, carrying with it large rocks, trees and other debris, wound up killing over 5,000 people. Such events are common enough to have been given a name-glacial lake outburst floods   (GLOFs). They can also be caused by extreme rain events during Monsoon season, which, due to global warming, are happening more often.

Shukla and Sen point out that as the planet grows warmer, more GLOFs are certain to occur. But they also note that the same outcomes are not inevitable. They suggest that the construction of reservoirs to hold extra rain, structures to change the course of water, detention basins along with embankments (堤岸） could prevent such flooding. They also suggest improvements in technology could help-upgrading cell service in the region, for example, would allow people upstream to call and warn those living downstream. They also suggest building a satellite network that could be used to monitor troublesome areas. Taken together, such technology could form the basis of an early warning system. Without such action, they warn millions of people could lose their lives in the coming years.

24. Why is the Indian avalanche mentioned in the second paragraph?

A. To describe a disaster.

B. To provide an example.

C. To make a comparison.

D. To introduce a new concept.

25. Which of the following would Shukla and Sen probably agree with?

A. Extreme rain events destroy natural dams.

B. The Himalayas hold the most ice on the planet.

C. Technology can be important to the warning system.

D. Nothing can be done to prevent the disastrous outcomes.

26. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Global warming will make GLOFs more common.

B. There is an increase in flood danger around Himalayan mountains.

C. Immediate action should be taken to protect people in troublesome areas.

D. Prevention and warning systems are essential for Himalayan flooding events.

C

The International Day of Happiness, March 20th, is a United Nations project which has a serious purpose. The UN thinks happiness will only be for everyone when the people of the world are equal.

On this date, the centre of the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, which is called an equinox (春分）. On the equinox, day and night last for almost equal time all over the Earth. The equinox is felt by everyone on the planet, which matches perfectly with the idea behind the Day of Happiness. Since 2013, the Day of Happiness has been celebrated in all 193 United Nations member states. The United Nations invites each person of any age to join in celebration of the International Day of Happiness.

The idea goes back to 1972, when the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, said that they should measure a country's progress by its happiness and not just how much it produces or how much money it makes. He called it Gross National Happiness (GNH). Again, it is more than just a nice idea. Bhutan developed a system to measure happiness based on things like people's psychological health, their general health, how they spend their time, where they live, their education and their environment. People in Bhutan answer about 300 questions, and the results are compared every year to measure progress. The government uses the results and the ideas behind GNH to make decisions for the country.

In 2011,a UN adviser called Jayme Illien suggested the idea of an international day to increase happiness. His plan was accepted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2012. Jayme was born in Calcutta, India, and he became an orphan when he was a child. He was adopted by an American nurse, Anna Belle Illien. She travelled the world to help orphans and she took Jayme with her. He saw children like him, but who were not as lucky as him because they were often escaping wars or they were very poor. He wanted to do something about it, so he worked in the areas of children's and human rights.

The UN measures and compares the happiness of different countries in the World Happiness Report. It bases its report on social, economic and environmental well-being. The UN also sets goals for countries to achieve to increase xkw happiness because it says happiness is a basic human right. Happiness should not be something people have because they are lucky to live in a place where they have basic things like peace, education and access to healthcare.

27.What do we know about the Day of Happiness?

A. People all over the world celebrate it.

B. It's a day to make people equal and happy.

C. It's on the same day when the equinox happens for everyone.

D. Different countries celebrate the Day of Happiness on different dates.

28. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How happiness is measured in Bhuta.

B. What happiness means to people in Bhutan.

C. How the idea of the Day of Happiness started.

D. When people began to celebrate the Day of Happiness.

29. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. Jayme Illien's childhood experience influenced his choice of work.

B. UN thinks happiness depends largely on basic things people have.

C. UN has followed exactly the work of Bhutan to measure happiness.

D. Jayme Illien proposed the idea of the International Day of Happiness.

30. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?

A. Entertainment.

B. Culture.

C. Science.

D. Health.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）

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。

When I was 19, I spent part of my summer at an adventure camp on Vancouver Island, supervising (照料） a group of 10-year-old girls. Towards the end of the first week, I took them on a camping. By six in the evening, we'd climbed a small mountain. The peak had trees on one side and bald rock on the other. I let the girls play in the wooded area while I arranged things for dinner.

When the screaming started, I wasn't too alarmed-I could see my group tearing through the bush and thought they'd just disturbed a bees' nest. As the first girl appeared, I asked what was going on. “Wildcat!” she gasped. The image in my head was of a house cat gone wild, but with her next breath she added, “It's attacking Alyson.” I told the girls to climb on to the rocks and then ran to where they'd been playing. Alyson was lying by bush. She was on her back, eyes wide, staring at a huge cat beside her. The cat was watching me.

Anyone familiar with westerns will have seen a cougar (美洲狮） - the mountain lion that springs from the rock face on to the passerby. We'd been told how to deal with bears: “Keep still, back up, make yourself look big.” But we hadn't covered cougars. I grabbed a stick and swung it into the animal's face. Startled, it took off into the bushes.

Seeing that Alyson was hurt, I set off for the first-aid box, but hadn't gone four steps when I heard a moan. Turning back, I saw the cougar crouched (蹲伏） by Alyson's head. It appeared to be eating her. This time I used a bigger stick, hit harder and held on. Once again, it disappeared, and I knelt by Alyson.

“There's no way someone can live through this,” I thought. The cat had torn deep into her neck. She had long cuts on her face. “Am I going to die?” she asked. Her heartbeat was racing but weak, the sign of a heart trembling from shock.
