阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Working on your adventure list? These national park treasures which turn favorites during the harvest time should be on it.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
33,000 acres of forests wait between Cleveland and Akron, all along the snaking Cuyahoga River. The park will delight you with plenty of outdoor activities suiting every interest, but do not climb over the fenced areas, rocks, or Brandywine Falls. Now the red maple trees will be visually on fire, which you can enjoy from the comfort of the tourist railway — Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
Gateway Arch National Park
This urban park comes back thanks to the Arch’s new Museum and Visitor Center. Give your feet a break after walking over five miles of park pathways with a ride to the top of the Arch to enjoy beautiful leaves. You can even bring your dog: the park is hosting Arch Bark every October.
Gulf Islands National Seashore
Extending some 160 miles along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, this series of parks includes a historic building, untouched barrier islands, and sugar-white beaches. Don’t miss the Fort Pickens area, which is a perfect spot to observe wild animals living in the scenic natural environment. With an average high of 79°F and a low of 60°F, the fall weather here is exceptional.
Voyageurs National Park
Yellow and red leaves in fall will catch your eyes, contrasting with this park’s glassy waters. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there are no roads in the park, so visitors use boats to cross this remote 218,000-acre park. Some 100 + bird species, even the rare ones, pass through the park, so keep an eye out for them.
21. What can visitors do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park?
A. Enjoy scenery by train.
B. Walk dogs on pathways.
C. Climb over the rocks.
D. Sunbathe on the beach.
22. Which park is great for wildlife viewing?
A. Voyageurs National Park.
B. Gateway Arch National Park.
C. Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
D. Gulf Islands National Seashore.
23. Which season is best suited for trips to these parks?
A. Spring. B. Summer.
C. Autumn. D. Winter.
B
I’m running some 3,550 kilometers. To be more precise, this jog is mostly around my neighborhood in Ottawa. It is the distance by air to Vancouver that my friend Louise and I are doing. If we make it, Louise and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of the BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races. We may not win medals, but for sure we’ll have cake for my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line.
The workout for big birthdays represents a big change for me. I used to hate birthdays, especially those milestone ones. No longer feeling young is horrible. As I approached my sixtieth birthday, Louise suggested setting targets to mark milestone birthdays. “That way you are looking forward to something, not dreading it,” she pointed out.
By doing those expanding my world or demanding new skills, I feel myself growing, not shrinking. For my sixtieth, I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon (铁人三项赛), which turned out to be a real milestone. After over four hours on the course, I was last among the 95 competitors. But I was the oldest woman competing, so that made me first in my age category. Since then, I’ve looked on the special days as a call for trying something different. For my sixty-fifth birthday, I went to run a half marathon. And I finished seven activities that took me out of my “comfort zone” at seventy.
I’m fortunate to have celebrated so many birthdays in good health and spirits, so whether I succeed in running to Vancouver or not, I’m grateful for the opportunity. One thing I’ve learned in taking up these challenges is that there are many possibilities for new adventures and achievements, even as we grow older. So do spend every day of every year with a definite end in view, which will release your energy and make you happy.
24. How does the author plan to celebrate her 75th birthday?
A. Going jogging in Ottawa.
B. Flying to Vancouver with a friend.
C. Joining in a marathon race.
D. Running 3,550 km in her neighborhood.
25. What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Demanding. B. Fearing.
C. Changing. D. Accepting.
26. Why did the author think the triathlon a milestone?
A. It inspired her to accept challenges.
B. It changed her attitude to birthdays.
C. It proved she was in good condition.
D. It drove her to step outside her comfort zone.
27. What does the author suggest at last?
A. Living with a clear goal. B. Doing exercise to keep healthy.
C. Facing adventures bravely. D. Settling into old age positively.
C
Published in 1859, Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species made a number of brave claims about the nature of evolution — including the suggestion that an animal species with greater diversity in its line will produce more subspecies too. This assumption is not as obvious as you might think at first. And it was finally found to be true for birds only a couple of years ago. Now, researchers from the University of Cambridge in the UK have shown that Darwin was right on this point for mammals (哺乳动物), too.
Apart from being an important contribution to our understanding of evolution in general, the findings could also be useful in ongoing conservation efforts — helping experts to figure out which species need to be protected in order to ensure their survival.
“My research investigating the relationship between species and the variety of subspecies proves that subspecies play a vital role in long-term evolutionary dynamics and in future evolution of species,” says biological anthropologist Laura van Holstein. There are three subspecies of northern giraffe, for example, and 45 subspecies of the red fox — the highest in the animal kingdom. 36 different species of wild cats have been found and most of these are further divided into subspecies. Human beings, on the other hand, don’t have any subspecies.
To test Darwin’s assumption, van Holstein looked at a huge database of animal classifications, analysing the collected knowledge we have about mammal species and subspecies to look for patterns. The data showed that habitat (land versus sea, for example) plays an important role in subspecies’ form and increase. The findings show that those living in the sea, or spending a lot of time in the air are less affected by physical boundaries like mountains.
The discoveries on subspecies habitat are particularly significant when it comes to conservation, because the habitats of so many animals are under threat from climate change and human activity, and these findings indicate that our actions really are having an effect on the process of evolution.
28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Charles Darwin’s claims have been proved recently.
B. Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species.
C. Charles Darwin’s assumption was right for any animal.
D. Charles Darwin set up the foundation of evolution theory.
29. What can we infer from Laura van Holstein’s research?
A. Humans will evolve faster.
B. Wild cats’ subspecies are countless.
C. The red fox needs immediate protection.
D. Northern giraffe’s evolution is less active.
30. Which of the following animals’ subspecies may be less affected?
A. Dogs. B. Snakes. C. Monkeys. D. Sharks.
31. Why are the discoveries on subspecies habitat important?
A. Because they help solve the threat of climate change.
B. Because they show human activity is bad for evolution.
C. Because they tell the importance of conservation of habitats.
D. Because they prove evolution is damaged by human actions.
D
A Space Age “disaster of the commons” is unfolding right under our nose — or, really, right over our head. For more than half a century, humans have been casting objects into low-Earth orbit in ever growing numbers. And with few meaningful limitations on further launches, the general attitude has been permissive: in orbit, it seems, there is always room for one more.
After so many decades of the build-up of high-speed chaos in the form of spent rocket stages, low-Earth orbit is finally on the edge of becoming too crowded for comfort. And the problem tends to get much worse because of the rise of satellite “mega constellations (大星座)” requiring thousands of aircraft, such as SpaceX’s Starlink. Starlink is but one of many similar projects. Another mega constellation from a company called OneWeb is already being stationed. And Amazon’s Project Kuiper is seeking to create a mega constellation of up to 3,200 satellites in the near future.
The International Space Station regularly adjusts its orbit to avoid potentially risky debris (碎片). Worse yet, there has been an increase in the threat of full-on collisions. Consider the February 2009 run-in between a dead Russian satellite and a commercial aircraft, which produced a great amount of debris.
Finding ways to remove at least some of all that space rubbish should be a top global priority (优先), says Donald Kessler, a scientist for orbital debris research. In the late 1970s, he foretold the possibility of the Kessler conditions: as the mass of space trash increases, self-protecting runaway cycle of debris-generating collisions can arise, making low-Earth orbit too risky to support most space activities.
“There is now agreement within the community that the debris environment has reached a ‘tipping point’ where debris would continue to increase even if all launches were stopped,” Kessler says. “There are collisions taking place all the time — less noticeable and not in large numbers,” Kessler adds.
32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1?
A. Humans are facing a space collision disaster.
B. General public are tolerant of the present situation in space.
C. Nothing has been done in space management.
D. Low-Earth orbit is in a high degree of order.
33. Why is mega constellation mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To explain the cause of the space jam.
B. To show the influence of the aircraft.
C. To stress the popularity of the space race.
D. To praise the efforts of famous companies.
34. What is Kessler’s attitude towards the debris environment?
A. Ambiguous. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Space Collisions Are Unavoidable
B. Space Development Needs to Stop
C. Space Activities Are Out of Control
D. Space Rubbish Arouses Concerns

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is very common nowadays for people to complain about anxiety. The novel coronavirus outbreak, as well as the pressure from day-to-day life, contributes to anxiety, which should not be underestimated as it could lead to depression or other mental disorders. 36
As a matter of fact, keeping several plants to add some green in your home is a good way to ease anxiety. 37 Researchers from the University of Essex in England investigated the reason, finding out that the secret to why nature could help people to calm down is because of one of its major colors: green.
38 To people, green usually represents calm, peace, freshness, and safety, because to the ancestors of human beings, green means food and water. This impression was rooted in human’s minds during the evolution process, hence the feelings this color generates still have a great effect on people today.
39 The photosynthesis (光合作用) of plants can absorb the carbon dioxide in the air and release oxygen. However, do not grow too many plants in the bedroom since photosynthesis takes place during the day, so when nighttime comes, plants will do the opposite by absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
The best choice of plants to keep at home and in the office are pothos (石柑属), lucky bamboo, and cactus. That’s because they are easy to keep. 40
A. Different people have different reactions to green.
B. Here are some practical ways to help you get relaxed.
C. Some of them even produce colorful flowers as an extra gift.
D. So, is there anything we can do to relieve some of that pressure?
E. Green is a special color, as it is not cold nor warm in the color spectrum (光谱).
F. Green plants can not only help people ease their anxiety, but also clean the air for them.
G. Studies show that people who like to exercise outdoors will have a mental health boost of 50 percent.

Hanami, which means “flower viewing” in Japanese, is 56 country’s tradition of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossom. Every year, from the end of March to the start of May, families and friends gather 57 (see) cherry blossom (called sakura) bloom all over Japan.
The history of Hanami dates back to around AD 710. Back then, it was plum blossom that people admired rather than cherry blossom. Emperor Saga, who 58 (rule) from 809 to 823, was the first to hold a viewing party for cherry blossom after he saw a tree he liked in Kyoto. In the 16th century, a leader called Hideyoshi Toyotomi brought Hanami to the 59 (mass) by planting hundreds of cherry trees across the country. Once the cherry trees are in bloom it’s a race 60 time to see them because the blossom is soon carried away by the wind. The short life span of the flowers is 61 (center) to Hanami and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which is a 62 (celebrate) of nature and its imperfections.
Today, Hanami involves 63 (gather) underneath trees for picnics and parties. Companies often send out junior members of staff to save a good spot for others. People 64 (advise) not to sit near a pavement because of the large crowds that gather throughout the day. Some people bring heat packs to keep themselves warm.

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。
I’ve been devoted to education for 20 years. For a long time, I’d thought my students’ winning competitions and my receiving honors were treasured moments in my career. But for me now, the most valuable moment happened when I was teaching third grade.
That year, I decided to plan something special for the children: afternoon tea with Mother. After all the preparations were made, each child took home an invitation. I was surprised and relieved to see every mother plan to attend. I even invited my own mother. Surprisingly, she was very cooperative.
Finally, the day arrived. That afternoon, each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom. As it got closer to the starting time, I looked around and quickly found Jimmy, a shy boy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was upset. After a consideration, I took my mother by the hand and walked to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said. “Since I’m going to be really busy today, I am wondering if you could keep my mother company.” He nodded, looking excited.
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other pairs. Jimmy served my mom treats, presented her with the gift I had made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as he had practiced the day before. Whenever I looked, my mom and Jimmy were deep in conversation.
Now ten years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class from another city on a field trip. We went to a mountain by bus, where we spent two busy and absorbing days. The class were very easy-going and there was even a boy vaguely familiar. But the trip was over so quickly that I was even unable to put all their names to faces. Before we got on the bus to return school, I had the students complete an evaluation form of their trip. I collected and checked the forms one by one.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then a different evaluation page came into view.
Jimmy came to me before getting off, saying “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra” and gave me a big hug.

47. C 考查形容词辨析。根据下文的“pressing his face against mine and falling asleep”可知，第一只小火鸡很快就喜欢上了作者。attached“喜欢的，依恋的”。故选C。
48. A 考查动词辨析。上文讲了第一只小火鸡孵化后的场景，下文提到作者得到了16只小火鸡，由此可知，这一过程重复（repeated）了很多遍。故选A。
49. D 考查动词辨析。结合上文的“I was given twenty”和下文的“I had a new family of 16 turkeys”可知，不是所有的火鸡都存活（survived）了。故选D。
50. D 考查动词辨析。根据上文的“I built a pen”和下文的“they started inhabiting (栖居于) trees outside”可知，作者建了一个围栏来安置火鸡。entertain“使有兴趣，使快乐，娱乐”；place“放置，安置，安顿”。故选D。
51. C 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知，小火鸡们每天早上从窝里出来时都会期待（expect）“妈妈”（指作者）在等着它们，每天晚上小火鸡们睡觉前作者也必须在场（present）。故选C。
52. A 考查形容词辨析。参见上题解析。present“在场的，出席的”；quiet“安静的”；awake“醒着的”；watchful“注意的，警惕的，提防的”。故选A。
53. B 考查动词辨析。根据下文的“the lesson of enjoying every moment would stay with me all the time”可知，小火鸡们好像喜欢它们遇到的所有东西，这渐渐地感染了作者。infect在此处表示“感染，影响”。故选B。
54. C 考查名词辨析。小火鸡们长大后开始栖息在外面的树上，作者和他们的分离（separation）开始了。故选C。
55. B 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指作者与火鸡一起生活（living）的回忆。故选B。

My Hero
Many heroes have an enormous impact on my growth, one of whom is Lin Qiaozhi.
It’s universally acknowledged that Lin Qiaozhi is an expert in women’s and children’s disease. However, what’s unknown is that she went through hardships one after another before she became a doctor. There was a time when girls had little access to schooling, but she made it. Later, she devoted all her life to the welfare project of women and children.
Lin Qiaozhi has set a good example for us and we should learn determination and dedication from her. This is the true reason why I celebrate her.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Then a different evaluation page came into view. It read, “Remember the afternoon tea for third grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did, and thank your mother, too. Jimmy.” The words and name refreshed my memory of the afternoon and the shy boy. And I finally recognized that boy I felt familiar with! I approached Jimmy, telling him I really enjoyed what he wrote. Looking embarrassed at first, he then smiled broadly and boarded the return bus. Soon we arrived. While students were getting off the bus, Jimmy made sure he was the last one to go.
Paragraph 2:
Jimmy came to me before getting off, saying “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra” and gave me a big hug. “No one even knew my mom didn’t make it that day!” he added. I ended my workday with a hug from a teenager who probably stopped hugging teachers years ago. From that, I have a deeper understanding of the essence of my profession. Perhaps a small thing or even a word I don’t care much about will take root in a child’s young heart and influence his life. And it is all these that are highlights of a teacher’s life.

M: Are you going to apply for that position? You see, it’s kind of a big deal. It’s a lot of responsibility. And sometimes you need to go to the company at weekends.
W: But it’s really exciting. Anyway, the salary is good.

M: I got 2 tickets to La Boheme at the office party. Do you want to go with me tonight?
W: I’d love to. I planned to go to Forest shopping mall tonight, but I guess I will go this afternoon. I can’t go to the opera in an old dress.

W: Sam, how are things with you?
M: Oh, not bad, but I’m still not sure what I’m going to do after I graduate.
W: Yeah, it’s hard to find a job these days.
M: It’s not that. I only have a few more months before I graduate, and now I’m wondering why I did this. I don’t want to be a lawyer. It all seems like a waste of time.

W: Oh, yeah. I forgot. I know that in general reading more serious stuff can be good for me, but I have to keep up with the fashion world for my job, you know.
M: I’m sure you need that for your career, but you know you could always read literature, too. Aren’t you in airports a lot? You could have read all the classics just waiting for your next flight.
W: I guess you’re right. But it’s hard to break a ten-year habit. I don’t know how you can read all those books from the 1880s. I’ve tried to read them, and I just fall asleep after a few sentences.
M: Studies have shown that you have to read ten pages to get interested in a book. You should stick with it for a bit longer and see if the book draws you in (吸引).
W: Hmm…I guess I should try, but I don’t know much about anything but clothes, handbags, and shoes…oh, and how to look good in front of the camera!

M: I’m Carol Johnson, the organizer of this year’s Abington Fun Run. I’m delighted to be able to tell you that this year it will be held at 11 am, on Sunday May 24th instead of Saturday, so make a note in your diary. It’s open to runners of any age and ability — children, their parents, grandparents, friends.
The course of the fun run will be through the beautiful environment of Abington Park and the total distance will be three kilometers, starting and finishing at the football ground. That’s on the south side of the park, very close to the main entrance. Abington Fun Run is a race in which there are no winners or losers. Everyone who takes part will be given something to remember the day. Last year it was a T-shirt. This year it will be a water bottle so it’s certain to be very useful.
The cost for adults is $8 if you register in advance or $10 on the day. Any child under the age of 15 can take part for free but there’s a lower age limit of 8.
If you would like to join in the fun run, entry forms and an information pack with lots of useful tips for improving your fitness and preparing for the run are available from any news agent. See you there.

A
Working on your adventure list? These national park treasures which turn favorites during the harvest time should be on it.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
33,000 acres of forests wait between Cleveland and Akron, all along the snaking Cuyahoga River. The park will delight you with plenty of outdoor activities suiting every interest, but do not climb over the fenced areas, rocks, or Brandywine Falls. Now the red maple trees will be visually on fire, which you can enjoy from the comfort of the tourist railway — Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
Gateway Arch National Park
This urban park comes back thanks to the Arch’s new Museum and Visitor Center. Give your feet a break after walking over five miles of park pathways with a ride to the top of the Arch to enjoy beautiful leaves. You can even bring your dog: the park is hosting Arch Bark every October.
Gulf Islands National Seashore
Extending some 160 miles along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, this series of parks includes a historic building, untouched barrier islands, and sugar-white beaches. Don’t miss the Fort Pickens area, which is a perfect spot to observe wild animals living in the scenic natural environment. With an average high of 79°F and a low of 60°F, the fall weather here is exceptional.
Voyageurs National Park
Yellow and red leaves in fall will catch your eyes, contrasting with this park’s glassy waters. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there are no roads in the park, so visitors use boats to cross this remote 218,000-acre park. Some 100 + bird species, even the rare ones, pass through the park, so keep an eye out for them.
21. What can visitors do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park?
A. Enjoy scenery by train.
B. Walk dogs on pathways.
C. Climb over the rocks.
D. Sunbathe on the beach.
22. Which park is great for wildlife viewing?
A. Voyageurs National Park.
B. Gateway Arch National Park.
C. Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
D. Gulf Islands National Seashore.
23. Which season is best suited for trips to these parks?
A. Spring. B. Summer.
C. Autumn. D. Winter.
B
I’m running some 3,550 kilometers. To be more precise, this jog is mostly around my neighborhood in Ottawa. It is the distance by air to Vancouver that my friend Louise and I are doing. If we make it, Louise and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of the BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races. We may not win medals, but for sure we’ll have cake for my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line.
The workout for big birthdays represents a big change for me. I used to hate birthdays, especially those milestone ones. No longer feeling young is horrible. As I approached my sixtieth birthday, Louise suggested setting targets to mark milestone birthdays. “That way you are looking forward to something, not dreading it,” she pointed out.
By doing those expanding my world or demanding new skills, I feel myself growing, not shrinking. For my sixtieth, I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon (铁人三项赛), which turned out to be a real milestone. After over four hours on the course, I was last among the 95 competitors. But I was the oldest woman competing, so that made me first in my age category. Since then, I’ve looked on the special days as a call for trying something different. For my sixty-fifth birthday, I went to run a half marathon. And I finished seven activities that took me out of my “comfort zone” at seventy.
I’m fortunate to have celebrated so many birthdays in good health and spirits, so whether I succeed in running to Vancouver or not, I’m grateful for the opportunity. One thing I’ve learned in taking up these challenges is that there are many possibilities for new adventures and achievements, even as we grow older. So do spend every day of every year with a definite end in view, which will release your energy and make you happy.
24. How does the author plan to celebrate her 75th birthday?
A. Going jogging in Ottawa.
B. Flying to Vancouver with a friend.
C. Joining in a marathon race.
D. Running 3,550 km in her neighborhood.
25. What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Demanding. B. Fearing.
C. Changing. D. Accepting.
26. Why did the author think the triathlon a milestone?
A. It inspired her to accept challenges.
B. It changed her attitude to birthdays.
C. It proved she was in good condition.
D. It drove her to step outside her comfort zone.
27. What does the author suggest at last?
A. Living with a clear goal. B. Doing exercise to keep healthy.
C. Facing adventures bravely. D. Settling into old age positively.
C
Published in 1859, Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species made a number of brave claims about the nature of evolution — including the suggestion that an animal species with greater diversity in its line will produce more subspecies too. This assumption is not as obvious as you might think at first. And it was finally found to be true for birds only a couple of years ago. Now, researchers from the University of Cambridge in the UK have shown that Darwin was right on this point for mammals (哺乳动物), too.
Apart from being an important contribution to our understanding of evolution in general, the findings could also be useful in ongoing conservation efforts — helping experts to figure out which species need to be protected in order to ensure their survival.
“My research investigating the relationship between species and the variety of subspecies proves that subspecies play a vital role in long-term evolutionary dynamics and in future evolution of species,” says biological anthropologist Laura van Holstein. There are three subspecies of northern giraffe, for example, and 45 subspecies of the red fox — the highest in the animal kingdom. 36 different species of wild cats have been found and most of these are further divided into subspecies. Human beings, on the other hand, don’t have any subspecies.
To test Darwin’s assumption, van Holstein looked at a huge database of animal classifications, analysing the collected knowledge we have about mammal species and subspecies to look for patterns. The data showed that habitat (land versus sea, for example) plays an important role in subspecies’ form and increase. The findings show that those living in the sea, or spending a lot of time in the air are less affected by physical boundaries like mountains.
The discoveries on subspecies habitat are particularly significant when it comes to conservation, because the habitats of so many animals are under threat from climate change and human activity, and these findings indicate that our actions really are having an effect on the process of evolution.
28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Charles Darwin’s claims have been proved recently.
B. Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species.
C. Charles Darwin’s assumption was right for any animal.
D. Charles Darwin set up the foundation of evolution theory.
29. What can we infer from Laura van Holstein’s research?
A. Humans will evolve faster.
B. Wild cats’ subspecies are countless.
C. The red fox needs immediate protection.
D. Northern giraffe’s evolution is less active.
30. Which of the following animals’ subspecies may be less affected?
A. Dogs. B. Snakes. C. Monkeys. D. Sharks.
31. Why are the discoveries on subspecies habitat important?
A. Because they help solve the threat of climate change.
B. Because they show human activity is bad for evolution.
C. Because they tell the importance of conservation of habitats.
D. Because they prove evolution is damaged by human actions.
D
A Space Age “disaster of the commons” is unfolding right under our nose — or, really, right over our head. For more than half a century, humans have been casting objects into low-Earth orbit in ever growing numbers. And with few meaningful limitations on further launches, the general attitude has been permissive: in orbit, it seems, there is always room for one more.
After so many decades of the build-up of high-speed chaos in the form of spent rocket stages, low-Earth orbit is finally on the edge of becoming too crowded for comfort. And the problem tends to get much worse because of the rise of satellite “mega constellations (大星座)” requiring thousands of aircraft, such as SpaceX’s Starlink. Starlink is but one of many similar projects. Another mega constellation from a company called OneWeb is already being stationed. And Amazon’s Project Kuiper is seeking to create a mega constellation of up to 3,200 satellites in the near future.
The International Space Station regularly adjusts its orbit to avoid potentially risky debris (碎片). Worse yet, there has been an increase in the threat of full-on collisions. Consider the February 2009 run-in between a dead Russian satellite and a commercial aircraft, which produced a great amount of debris.
Finding ways to remove at least some of all that space rubbish should be a top global priority (优先), says Donald Kessler, a scientist for orbital debris research. In the late 1970s, he foretold the possibility of the Kessler conditions: as the mass of space trash increases, self-protecting runaway cycle of debris-generating collisions can arise, making low-Earth orbit too risky to support most space activities.
“There is now agreement within the community that the debris environment has reached a ‘tipping point’ where debris would continue to increase even if all launches were stopped,” Kessler says. “There are collisions taking place all the time — less noticeable and not in large numbers,” Kessler adds.
32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1?
A. Humans are facing a space collision disaster.
B. General public are tolerant of the present situation in space.
C. Nothing has been done in space management.
D. Low-Earth orbit is in a high degree of order.
33. Why is mega constellation mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To explain the cause of the space jam.
B. To show the influence of the aircraft.
C. To stress the popularity of the space race.
D. To praise the efforts of famous companies.
34. What is Kessler’s attitude towards the debris environment?
A. Ambiguous. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Space Collisions Are Unavoidable
B. Space Development Needs to Stop
C. Space Activities Are Out of Control
D. Space Rubbish Arouses Concerns

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is very common nowadays for people to complain about anxiety. The novel coronavirus outbreak, as well as the pressure from day-to-day life, contributes to anxiety, which should not be underestimated as it could lead to depression or other mental disorders. 36
As a matter of fact, keeping several plants to add some green in your home is a good way to ease anxiety. 37 Researchers from the University of Essex in England investigated the reason, finding out that the secret to why nature could help people to calm down is because of one of its major colors: green.
38 To people, green usually represents calm, peace, freshness, and safety, because to the ancestors of human beings, green means food and water. This impression was rooted in human’s minds during the evolution process, hence the feelings this color generates still have a great effect on people today.
39 The photosynthesis (光合作用) of plants can absorb the carbon dioxide in the air and release oxygen. However, do not grow too many plants in the bedroom since photosynthesis takes place during the day, so when nighttime comes, plants will do the opposite by absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
The best choice of plants to keep at home and in the office are pothos (石柑属), lucky bamboo, and cactus. That’s because they are easy to keep. 40
A. Different people have different reactions to green.
B. Here are some practical ways to help you get relaxed.
C. Some of them even produce colorful flowers as an extra gift.
D. So, is there anything we can do to relieve some of that pressure?
E. Green is a special color, as it is not cold nor warm in the color spectrum (光谱).
F. Green plants can not only help people ease their anxiety, but also clean the air for them.
G. Studies show that people who like to exercise outdoors will have a mental health boost of 50 percent.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Hanami, which means “flower viewing” in Japanese, is 56 country’s tradition of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossom. Every year, from the end of March to the start of May, families and friends gather 57 (see) cherry blossom (called sakura) bloom all over Japan.
The history of Hanami dates back to around AD 710. Back then, it was plum blossom that people admired rather than cherry blossom. Emperor Saga, who 58 (rule) from 809 to 823, was the first to hold a viewing party for cherry blossom after he saw a tree he liked in Kyoto. In the 16th century, a leader called Hideyoshi Toyotomi brought Hanami to the 59 (mass) by planting hundreds of cherry trees across the country. Once the cherry trees are in bloom it’s a race 60 time to see them because the blossom is soon carried away by the wind. The short life span of the flowers is 61 (center) to Hanami and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which is a 62 (celebrate) of nature and its imperfections.
Today, Hanami involves 63 (gather) underneath trees for picnics and parties. Companies often send out junior members of staff to save a good spot for others. People 64 (advise) not to sit near a pavement because of the large crowds that gather throughout the day. Some people bring heat packs to keep themselves warm. Parks have strict rules about 65 people can sit and when, and everyone is expected to clean up after themselves.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
I’ve been devoted to education for 20 years. For a long time, I’d thought my students’ winning competitions and my receiving honors were treasured moments in my career. But for me now, the most valuable moment happened when I was teaching third grade.
That year, I decided to plan something special for the children: afternoon tea with Mother. After all the preparations were made, each child took home an invitation. I was surprised and relieved to see every mother plan to attend. I even invited my own mother. Surprisingly, she was very cooperative.
Finally, the day arrived. That afternoon, each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom. As it got closer to the starting time, I looked around and quickly found Jimmy, a shy boy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was upset. After a consideration, I took my mother by the hand and walked to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said. “Since I’m going to be really busy today, I am wondering if you could keep my mother company.” He nodded, looking excited.
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other pairs. Jimmy served my mom treats, presented her with the gift I had made, and pulled out and pushed in her chair, just as he had practiced the day before. Whenever I looked, my mom and Jimmy were deep in conversation.
Now ten years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class from another city on a field trip. We went to a mountain by bus, where we spent two busy and absorbing days. The class were very easy-going and there was even a boy vaguely familiar. But the trip was over so quickly that I was even unable to put all their names to faces. Before we got on the bus to return school, I had the students complete an evaluation form of their trip. I collected and checked the forms one by one.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then a different evaluation page came into view.
Jimmy came to me before getting off, saying “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra” and gave me a big hug.

B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。作者曾是一个不喜欢过生日的人，在朋友的建议下，她开始为自己每个重要的生日设立目标。
24. C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If we make it, Louise and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of the BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races”“but for sure we’ll have cake for my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line”可知，作者正在进行长跑活动，如果完成的话，她将和朋友一起去温哥华参加一项马拉松比赛以庆祝自己75岁的生日。故选C。
25. B 词义猜测题。从画线词所在的语境看，该词的含义应与前面的“looking forward to”相反，再结合上文的“I used to hate birthdays, especially those milestone ones. No longer feeling young is horrible”可知，此处表示“盼望某件事（即生日的来临），而不是害怕它”，由此可推断画线词含义与B项接近。dread“畏惧，惧怕，担心”。故选B。
26. B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon (铁人三项赛), which turned out to be a real milestone”“Since then, I’ve looked on the special days as a call for trying something different”可知，作者在60岁生日的时候参加了一项奥运铁人三项赛，这最终成为一个真正的里程碑，因为在比赛之后作者受到启发，开始把生日看作尝试做不同事情的召唤。由此推断，作者在这次比赛之后改变了对生日的态度。故选B。

29. D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容尤其是最后三句可知，与其他物种相比，北方长颈鹿品种较少。由此可推知，北方长颈鹿的进化不那么活跃。故选D。
30. D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The findings show that those living in the sea, or spending a lot of time in the air are less affected by physical boundaries like mountains.”可知，结果表明：生活在海洋里或在天空中度过大量时间的亚种受自然边界（如山脉）的影响较小。由此可推知，鲨鱼所受的影响可能较小。故选D。
31. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容尤其是第一句中的“The discoveries on subspecies habitat are particularly significant when it comes to conservation”可知，亚种栖息地的发现对于亚种的保护十分重要，因为这表明了保护栖息地的重要性。故选C。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大量发射进入太空的飞行器使近地轨道变得越来越拥挤，而由此产生的太空垃圾会造成碰撞，这引起了研究人员的担忧。

33. A 推理判断题。根据第二段内容尤其是前两句可知，近地轨道濒临过度拥堵的情况，使这一问题变得越发严重的原因之一是“大星座”卫星的增加需要成千上万的航空器。由此可推知，作者在第二段提到“大星座”是想解释导致太空拥堵的原因。故选A。
34. B 观点态度题。根据最后两段内容尤其是第四段第一句中的“Finding ways to remove at least some of all that space rubbish should be a top global priority (优先)”和第五段最后一句中的“There are collisions taking place all the time — less noticeable and not in large numbers”可知，找到清除至少其中一些太空垃圾的方法应该是全球的一项首要任务。（太空垃圾的）碰撞一直在发生，只是不明显，数量还不算太多。由此可推知，Kessler对于碎片环境持担忧的态度。故选B。
35. D 标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了发射进入太空的飞行器使近地轨道变得越来越拥挤，而由此产生的大量太空垃圾引起了研究人员的担忧。D项是最适合本文的标题。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了绿色植物的作用：帮助人们缓解压力的同时还能净化空气。
36. D 空处前讲新冠疫情的暴发以及来自日常生活中的压力都会导致焦虑，不能低估焦虑，因为它可能导致抑郁或其他精神疾病；空处后讲事实上，在你的家里种植一些植物来增添一些绿色是一个缓解焦虑的好办法。D项“所以，我们可以做些什么来缓解那种压力呢？”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。

第四部分 写作
第一节 应用文
参考范文：
My Hero
Many heroes have an enormous impact on my growth, one of whom is Lin Qiaozhi.
It’s universally acknowledged that Lin Qiaozhi is an expert in women’s and children’s disease. However, what’s unknown is that she went through hardships one after another before she became a doctor. There was a time when girls had little access to schooling, but she made it. Later, she devoted all her life to the welfare project of women and children.
Lin Qiaozhi has set a good example for us and we should learn determination and dedication from her. This is the true reason why I celebrate her.
第二节 读后续写
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Then a different evaluation page came into view. It read, “Remember the afternoon tea for third grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did, and thank your mother, too. Jimmy.” The words and name refreshed my memory of the afternoon and the shy boy. And I finally recognized that boy I felt familiar with! I approached Jimmy, telling him I really enjoyed what he wrote. Looking embarrassed at first, he then smiled broadly and boarded the return bus. Soon we arrived. While students were getting off the bus, Jimmy made sure he was the last one to go.
Paragraph 2:
Jimmy came to me before getting off, saying “Thanks again, Mrs. Marra” and gave me a big hug. “No one even knew my mom didn’t make it that day!” he added. I ended my workday with a hug from a teenager who probably stopped hugging teachers years ago. From that, I have a deeper understanding of the essence of my profession. Perhaps a small thing or even a word I don’t care much about will take root in a child’s young heart and influence his life. And it is all these that are highlights of a teacher’s life.

M: I got 2 tickets to La Boheme at the office party. Do you want to go with me tonight?

W: Sam, how are things with you?
M: Oh, not bad, but I’m still not sure what I’m going to do after I graduate.
W: Yeah, it’s hard to find a job these days.
M: It’s not that. I only have a few more months before I graduate, and now I’m wondering why I did this. I don’t want to be a lawyer. It all seems like a waste of time.

M: Convenience store? They say the prices there are higher and there isn’t much selection.
W: I’m afraid so.
M: Well, it doesn’t matter. It may make choosing much easier.
W: Actually, I enjoy comparing different brands to get the best bargain for our family. Of course, this time there will be no comparing.
M: Yeah. Here we are. Well, it is the only place open at this time of the night. Look at this, they have hamburgers ready to eat.

M: All right.

M: You’ve been reading that magazine for three hours now, Katie. Shouldn’t you spend your time doing something a little more useful?
W: I like reading magazines. I started reading them when I was thirteen. I think literature is for old people.
M: Hey! I’m a literature major!
W: Oh, yeah. I forgot. I know that in general reading more serious stuff can be good for me, but I have to keep up with the fashion world for my job, you know.
M: I’m sure you need that for your career, but you know you could always read literature, too. Aren’t you in airports a lot? You could have read all the classics just waiting for your next flight.
W: I guess you’re right. But it’s hard to break a ten-year habit. I don’t know how you can read all those books from the 1880s. I’ve tried to read them, and I just fall asleep after a few sentences.
M: Studies have shown that you have to read ten pages to get interested in a book. You should stick with it for a bit longer and see if the book draws you in (吸引).
W: Hmm…I guess I should try, but I don’t know much about anything but clothes, handbags, and shoes…oh, and how to look good in front of the camera!

M: I’m Carol Johnson, the organizer of this year’s Abington Fun Run. I’m delighted to be able to tell you that this year it will be held at 11 am, on Sunday May 24th instead of Saturday, so make a note in your diary. It’s open to runners of any age and ability — children, their parents, grandparents, friends.
The course of the fun run will be through the beautiful environment of Abington Park and the total distance will be three kilometers, starting and finishing at the football ground. That’s on the south side of the park, very close to the main entrance. Abington Fun Run is a race in which there are no winners or losers. Everyone who takes part will be given something to remember the day. Last year it was a T-shirt. This year it will be a water bottle so it’s certain to be very useful.
The cost for adults is $8 if you register in advance or $10 on the day. Any child under the age of 15 can take part for free but there’s a lower age limit of 8.
If you would like to join in the fun run, entry forms and an information pack with lots of useful tips for improving your fitness and preparing for the run are available from any news agent. See you there.
