Here are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.
University of Illinois
Students are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.
To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations（疫苗）, and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable（不可退款的）.
Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.
Harvard University
With as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.
In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.
University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B. A. R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.
B. A. R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B. A. R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.
University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.
Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.
21. What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?
A. Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.

It was May 17, 2015, and Brian Koonoon, then 36, had been out of contact since the 13th. He had gone missing in the Arctic.
Brian climbed the hill next to his camp and checked his radio, hoping to catch a signal. He looked back to see that the snow had already covered his tracks. Any search planes would have a hard time finding him — a tiny bit of color in a sea of white snow.
For the first time since losing contact, Brian felt a sense of despair. He thought about his family — his wife and five daughters. Then he made his decision: if he wanted to see his family again, he would just have to start walking.
He was still 40 miles away from Repulse Bay, the closest village. It would be a tough walk, but by this point he had no other choice.
He gathered his stove and tent into his bag, but soon realized that dragging it would be impossible. He made the decision to fill his bag with necessities: his remaining bread, candles, a knife, his radio and GPS. Then he started walking.
Brian made his way about 15 miles until he couldn’t walk anymore. He found a snowdrift against a rock. With his knife, he built a snow cave. He cut enough room for his body. He crawled in, ate and fell asleep. When he woke up a few hours later, Brian felt energetic and ready to walk.
Brian arrived in Repulse Bay at 5:30 am on May 20. He met a woman on the street and explained what he had been through. The woman stared at him. “You’re the guy we were looking for,” she said. Her husband had been part of the rescue operation.
Today, safe at home. Brian still misses the welcome he received. “Everyone was very happy everywhere I went,” he says. He recalls the way the village’s elders came to meet him — the man who had survived in the wild, and the man who had refused to give up.
24. Why did Brian Koonoon climb a hill?
A. To search for a way to the nearest village.
B. To find his tracks in the snow.
C. To let the airplane see him.
D. To receive a radio signal.
25. For what reason did Brian decide to walk to Repulse Bay?
A. It was the closest way home.
B. There was a rescue team there.
C. He could turn to others for help there.
D. He could keep in contact with his family there.
26. What do we know about Brian’s adventure from the text?
A. A rescue team found him in the end.
B. It took him about four days to arrive at Repulse Bay.
C. He dragged the bag with the stove and a tent to head for the village.
D. He only had 15 miles left to reach the village after a good sleep.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Brian’s not giving up was respected by the villagers.
B. Brian was proud of his courage to survive.
C. Brian considered his experience a horrible one.
D. Brian was unwilling to take an adventure again.
C
If you’re a fan of hummingbirds（蜂鸟）, then you probably know that at night they lower their body temperatures greatly by dropping into an energy-saving state of inactivity called torpor（麻木）. A new study finds that the birds have more than one level of torpor. “There have been a few signs that this ability to fine-tune thermoregulation（温度调节）is possible,” said the lead author Anusha Shankar.
Shankar and her colleagues used a special method to track the body temperatures of three hummingbird species in Arizona: the blue-throated mountaingem, Rivoli’s hummingbird, and the black-chinned hummingbird. They measured the temperatures emitted from the skin around the eyes of the birds and found that differences in heat generation at various stages are noticeable
The normal daytime body temperature of a hummingbird is more than 100 ℉, even in cold weather. During shallow torpor, their body temperature drops by about 20 ℉. In deep torpor, the bird keeps a body temperature 50 ℉ below its normal daytime temperature. If human body temperature were to drop mere 3 degrees from the standard 98.6 ℉, we’d be in a state of hypothermia（低体温症）and, unlike hummingbirds, we would need outside help to get warm again.
“In this study, we found that the smallest bird used deep torpor every night,” said Shankar. “The bigger birds sometimes use deep torpor and sometimes shallow torpor, and sometimes no torpor at all.”
Shallow torpor may have developed to balance energy saving with the cost of deep torpor. In deep torpor, a hummingbird is much more likely to be affected by disease because its immune system（免疫系统）shuts down. And what’s more, it would get inadequate sleep and be easily harmed by its enemies.
Torpor is not the same as sleep. Sleep uses much more energy and serves many important functions. Daily torpor also differs from hibernation（冬眠）. Hibernating animals enter a low-energy state for weeks or months at a time, while hummingbirds can enter torpor every night. But the researchers say their studies were done under laboratory conditions, not the conditions a bird would encounter in the wild. They say more research is needed to understand thermoregulation in birds.
28. What does the new study show?
A. Hummingbirds’ torpor could be flexible.
B. Thermoregulation is common among birds.
C. Body temperature is vital to hummingbirds’ sleep.
D. Hummingbirds are sensitive to change in temperature.
29. What would happen to a hummingbird if its body temperature drops by 50 °F at night?
A. It would suffer a lot in winter.
B. It would be in a state of hibernation.
C. It would be in a state of hypothermia.
D. It would regain normal body temperature without help.
30. What does paragraph 5 tell us about the deep torpor of a hummingbird?
A. It may consume plenty of energy.
B. It ensures the bird gets enough sleep.
C. It does great harm to its immune system.
D. It can greatly threaten its welfare and safety.
31. Which of the following statements shows the researchers’ opinion?
A. Their research is far from complete.
B. Their research method is much too complex.
C. It is easy to understand thermoregulation in birds.
D. It is difficult to distinguish hibernation from daily torpor.
D
After eight years of construction, the Padma Multipurpose Bridge in Bangladesh opened to the public on June 26, reducing travel time from parts of the southwest of the country to the capital Dhaka from seven to eight hours to as little as just 10 minutes.
The 21.5-meter-wide, 6.15-kilometer-long bridge built over the Padma River, the main branch of the Ganges, has two levels with the upper tier having a four-lane highway and the lower tier a single-track railway, according to Wuhan-based China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, or MBEC, one of China’s biggest bridge makers. Before that, travelers and goods were transported via boat or ship because of the vast width and fast-flowing nature of the river, and the tendency of the area to flood.
In 2014, the Bangladeshi government awarded MBEC a $1.54-billion contract to build the core structure of the bridge, making it the country’s largest infrastructure（基础建设）project as well as the largest foreign bridge project undertaken by Chinese companies in terms of total cost.
“The construction was much harder than expected as the complex geological conditions brought multiple challenges to us,” said Shen Tao, deputy general manager of the project. “The bridge is located above a river with banks on loose soil, and downpours in the rainy season often caused flooding, bringing us numerous difficulties we had never experienced before.” During the construction, we had to adjust the design plan to adapt to environmental changes whenever necessary,” he added.
“However, through continuous learning and adaptation, construction teams have greatly improved their abilities including technology, communication and adaptability,” said Wen Wusong, chairman of MBEC. “They demonstrated the strength of China’s road bridge construction to the whole world and the bridge is a model of international cooperation.”
Over the past eight years, the project has created over 50,000 jobs for local residents, according to MBEC.
32. What do we know about the bridge?
A. It is over the Ganges.
B. It is across the Padma River.
C. The upper tier has a single-track railway.
D. The lower tier has a four-lane highway.
33. What did Shen Tao mainly express in paragraph 4?
A. Costs of building the bridge.
B. Features of the newly-built bridge.
C. Benefits the bridge can bring about.
D. Difficulties in constructing the bridge.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “demonstrated” in paragraph 5?
A. Measured. B. Adapted. C. Showed. D. Preserved.
35. What can be the best title for the news report?
A. China-made bridge opens in Bangladesh
B. Eight years of China’s constructing a bridge in Bangladesh
C. Constructing a bridge creates over 50,000 jobs in Bangladesh
D. Bangladeshi government awards MBEC $1.54-billion contract

If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be tough to think positive thoughts. It is important to turn those negative thoughts to something positive when we are stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we think that “bad things” keep happening to us. 36 .
It is often very hard to think positively when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone somewhere is worse off than you. 37 .
If you start with one small, positive step and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive position: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities. And people will start showing up in your life. With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you.
Here are a few examples for you to practice. Say them out loud and with feelings.
·Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day!”
·38 when you see the gas prices going up.
·When you are late for work, say “I am so happy and grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.”
·39 if you are having health problems: “I really do appreciate my eyes that see, my ears that hear, my mouth that tastes, my legs that walk, my arms that lift, my hands that write, my mind that thinks, my knees that bend and my tongue that talks.” The possibilities here are endless: insert（插入）what does work for you and feel good about it!
·Write down what you’re grateful for each day. 40 when you’re feeling really down. This will help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find that your list will get longer and longer.
A. Be grateful for what does work
B. Read what you wrote previously
C. You should learn to forgive yourself and others
D. If we don’t, we will only attract more “bad things”
E. Don’t ignore those who once gave you a hand when you are in need
F. We can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps
G. Say “I am so glad that I am blessed to have a vehicle in which to get around”

“How did you get the answer? You think you are wise,” Brian said to me. I pretended 60 (hear) nothing.

Strange Footprints in the Snow
Tom woke up and looked around. For a moment, he wasn’t sure where he was. Then he remembered. He and his sister, Lucy, were visiting Aunt Gwen. Yesterday they spent seven hours helping Aunt Gwen clean her basement. Today they would have time to play.
He looked out of the window. Fresh snow covered the ground. He could hardly wait to go outside. Tom got dressed and hurried downstairs to the kitchen.
“Hi, sleepyhead（贪睡者）,” said Aunt Gwen. “Lucy has already eaten her breakfast. She’s outside.”
“That’s where I’m going as soon as I finish breakfast,” Tom said.
A short time later, he zipped up（拉上拉链）his coat, put on his boots, and walked out of the front door. The sun made the snow sparkle. He looked around. He didn’t see his sister, but he saw something else. There were strange footprints left in the snow across Aunt Gwen’s yard.
“They’re far too big to be Lucy’s. They look like they belong to a dinosaur,” Tom said. Then he added, “But that’s silly. Dinosaurs are not around anymore.”
He looked closer: The footprints were the shape of a very large oval（椭圆）with a stem. “Maybe they belong to an elephant or a hippo that escaped from the zoo,” he thought. He held his breath and listened. He didn’t hear anything.
He remembered a book he’d seen earlier on Aunt Gwen’s shelf. It was a book about animal tracks. He dashed inside to get it. The book had pictures of animals and the tracks they made. He turned the pages one by one, but none of the photos looked like the footprints in Aunt Gwen’s yard.
He stared at those footprints again. An animal that made such big tracks would have to be heavy. Its tracks should sink far down into the snow. Yet these footprints seemed to skim across（掠过）the top.
How can that be? He wondered.
Tom noticed something else. The tracks never left Aunt Gwen’s yard. Instead, they turned and went around the house. “Maybe the animal is still here,” he whispered.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal. _________________________

One possible version:
Dear Peter,
How are you doing? Last month, the community where our school lies was on lockdown due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, Here, I’d like to tell you how I lived my life and did my lessons during the time.
To fight the epidemic and avoid infecting others or being infected, we had to observe the control measures and were not allowed to go out of our house. Groceries and daily necessities were supplied by the government. I stayed at home all day, watching TV and checking online news in my free time. Once a day I did physical exercise to build up my body.
We had our online classes according to the timetable of our class and the schedule of our school. After class, we must review our lessons and finish our assignments. We even had our tests online.
Thanks to the timely measures taken by the government, the pandemic is under control now and we have returned to school so far.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal. Quietly, he began following the footprints. He didn’t want to scare the animal away. There was nothing in sight except the strange footprints. Suddenly, there seemed to be some strange sounds ahead. Tom stopped and listened carefully. It came from the backyard, Thrilled, mixed with a feeling of a little fright, he quickened his pace! The sounds became clearer and clearer. Holding his breath, Tom peeked around the corner of the house.
It turned out that his sister was making the sounds. She had something worn on both feet. She was walking on the snow back and forth happily. Noticing her brother, Lucy waved excitedly, “See what I found in Aunt Gwen’s basement? They are old-fashioned snow shoes. Aunt Gwen said the shape helped walk steadily on the snow. And that is true!” Tom then laughed, “No wonder I couldn’t find those footprints in Aunt Gwen’s book.” There was no page for a snowshoeing sister.

Here are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.
University of Illinois
Students are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.
To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations（疫苗）, and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable（不可退款的）.
Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.
Harvard University
With as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.
In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.
University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B. A. R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.
B. A. R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B. A. R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.
University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.
Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.
21. What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?
A. Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.

It was May 17, 2015, and Brian Koonoon, then 36, had been out of contact since the 13th. He had gone missing in the Arctic.
Brian climbed the hill next to his camp and checked his radio, hoping to catch a signal. He looked back to see that the snow had already covered his tracks. Any search planes would have a hard time finding him — a tiny bit of color in a sea of white snow.
For the first time since losing contact, Brian felt a sense of despair. He thought about his family — his wife and five daughters. Then he made his decision: if he wanted to see his family again, he would just have to start walking.
He was still 40 miles away from Repulse Bay, the closest village. It would be a tough walk, but by this point he had no other choice.
He gathered his stove and tent into his bag, but soon realized that dragging it would be impossible. He made the decision to fill his bag with necessities: his remaining bread, candles, a knife, his radio and GPS. Then he started walking.
Brian made his way about 15 miles until he couldn’t walk anymore. He found a snowdrift against a rock. With his knife, he built a snow cave. He cut enough room for his body. He crawled in, ate and fell asleep. When he woke up a few hours later, Brian felt energetic and ready to walk.
Brian arrived in Repulse Bay at 5:30 am on May 20. He met a woman on the street and explained what he had been through. The woman stared at him. “You’re the guy we were looking for,” she said. Her husband had been part of the rescue operation.
Today, safe at home. Brian still misses the welcome he received. “Everyone was very happy everywhere I went,” he says. He recalls the way the village’s elders came to meet him — the man who had survived in the wild, and the man who had refused to give up.
24. Why did Brian Koonoon climb a hill?
A. To search for a way to the nearest village.
B. To find his tracks in the snow.
C. To let the airplane see him.
D. To receive a radio signal.
25. For what reason did Brian decide to walk to Repulse Bay?
A. It was the closest way home.
B. There was a rescue team there.
C. He could turn to others for help there.
D. He could keep in contact with his family there.
26. What do we know about Brian’s adventure from the text?
A. A rescue team found him in the end.
B. It took him about four days to arrive at Repulse Bay.
C. He dragged the bag with the stove and a tent to head for the village.
D. He only had 15 miles left to reach the village after a good sleep.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Brian’s not giving up was respected by the villagers.
B. Brian was proud of his courage to survive.
C. Brian considered his experience a horrible one.
D. Brian was unwilling to take an adventure again.
C
If you’re a fan of hummingbirds（蜂鸟）, then you probably know that at night they lower their body temperatures greatly by dropping into an energy-saving state of inactivity called torpor（麻木）. A new study finds that the birds have more than one level of torpor. “There have been a few signs that this ability to fine-tune thermoregulation（温度调节）is possible,” said the lead author Anusha Shankar.
Shankar and her colleagues used a special method to track the body temperatures of three hummingbird species in Arizona: the blue-throated mountaingem, Rivoli’s hummingbird, and the black-chinned hummingbird. They measured the temperatures emitted from the skin around the eyes of the birds and found that differences in heat generation at various stages are noticeable
The normal daytime body temperature of a hummingbird is more than 100 ℉, even in cold weather. During shallow torpor, their body temperature drops by about 20 ℉. In deep torpor, the bird keeps a body temperature 50 ℉ below its normal daytime temperature. If human body temperature were to drop mere 3 degrees from the standard 98.6 ℉, we’d be in a state of hypothermia（低体温症）and, unlike hummingbirds, we would need outside help to get warm again.
“In this study, we found that the smallest bird used deep torpor every night,” said Shankar. “The bigger birds sometimes use deep torpor and sometimes shallow torpor, and sometimes no torpor at all.”
Shallow torpor may have developed to balance energy saving with the cost of deep torpor. In deep torpor, a hummingbird is much more likely to be affected by disease because its immune system（免疫系统）shuts down. And what’s more, it would get inadequate sleep and be easily harmed by its enemies.
Torpor is not the same as sleep. Sleep uses much more energy and serves many important functions. Daily torpor also differs from hibernation（冬眠）. Hibernating animals enter a low-energy state for weeks or months at a time, while hummingbirds can enter torpor every night. But the researchers say their studies were done under laboratory conditions, not the conditions a bird would encounter in the wild. They say more research is needed to understand thermoregulation in birds.
28. What does the new study show?
A. Hummingbirds’ torpor could be flexible.
B. Thermoregulation is common among birds.
C. Body temperature is vital to hummingbirds’ sleep.
D. Hummingbirds are sensitive to change in temperature.
29. What would happen to a hummingbird if its body temperature drops by 50 °F at night?
A. It would suffer a lot in winter.
B. It would be in a state of hibernation.
C. It would be in a state of hypothermia.
D. It would regain normal body temperature without help.
30. What does paragraph 5 tell us about the deep torpor of a hummingbird?
A. It may consume plenty of energy.
B. It ensures the bird gets enough sleep.
C. It does great harm to its immune system.
D. It can greatly threaten its welfare and safety.
31. Which of the following statements shows the researchers’ opinion?
A. Their research is far from complete.
B. Their research method is much too complex.
C. It is easy to understand thermoregulation in birds.
D. It is difficult to distinguish hibernation from daily torpor.
D
After eight years of construction, the Padma Multipurpose Bridge in Bangladesh opened to the public on June 26, reducing travel time from parts of the southwest of the country to the capital Dhaka from seven to eight hours to as little as just 10 minutes.
The 21.5-meter-wide, 6.15-kilometer-long bridge built over the Padma River, the main branch of the Ganges, has two levels with the upper tier having a four-lane highway and the lower tier a single-track railway, according to Wuhan-based China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, or MBEC, one of China’s biggest bridge makers. Before that, travelers and goods were transported via boat or ship because of the vast width and fast-flowing nature of the river, and the tendency of the area to flood.
In 2014, the Bangladeshi government awarded MBEC a $1.54-billion contract to build the core structure of the bridge, making it the country’s largest infrastructure（基础建设）project as well as the largest foreign bridge project undertaken by Chinese companies in terms of total cost.
“The construction was much harder than expected as the complex geological conditions brought multiple challenges to us,” said Shen Tao, deputy general manager of the project. “The bridge is located above a river with banks on loose soil, and downpours in the rainy season often caused flooding, bringing us numerous difficulties we had never experienced before.” During the construction, we had to adjust the design plan to adapt to environmental changes whenever necessary,” he added.
“However, through continuous learning and adaptation, construction teams have greatly improved their abilities including technology, communication and adaptability,” said Wen Wusong, chairman of MBEC. “They demonstrated the strength of China’s road bridge construction to the whole world and the bridge is a model of international cooperation.”
Over the past eight years, the project has created over 50,000 jobs for local residents, according to MBEC.
32. What do we know about the bridge?
A. It is over the Ganges.
B. It is across the Padma River.
C. The upper tier has a single-track railway.
D. The lower tier has a four-lane highway.
33. What did Shen Tao mainly express in paragraph 4?
A. Costs of building the bridge.
B. Features of the newly-built bridge.
C. Benefits the bridge can bring about.
D. Difficulties in constructing the bridge.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “demonstrated” in paragraph 5?
A. Measured. B. Adapted. C. Showed. D. Preserved.
35. What can be the best title for the news report?
A. China-made bridge opens in Bangladesh
B. Eight years of China’s constructing a bridge in Bangladesh
C. Constructing a bridge creates over 50,000 jobs in Bangladesh
D. Bangladeshi government awards MBEC $1.54-billion contract

If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be tough to think positive thoughts. It is important to turn those negative thoughts to something positive when we are stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we think that “bad things” keep happening to us. 36 .
It is often very hard to think positively when so many things are negative, but I can assure you that someone somewhere is worse off than you. 37 .
If you start with one small, positive step and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive position: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities. And people will start showing up in your life. With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you.
Here are a few examples for you to practice. Say them out loud and with feelings.
·Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful, glorious day!”
·38 when you see the gas prices going up.
·When you are late for work, say “I am so happy and grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.”
·39 if you are having health problems: “I really do appreciate my eyes that see, my ears that hear, my mouth that tastes, my legs that walk, my arms that lift, my hands that write, my mind that thinks, my knees that bend and my tongue that talks.” The possibilities here are endless: insert（插入）what does work for you and feel good about it!
·Write down what you’re grateful for each day. 40 when you’re feeling really down. This will help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find that your list will get longer and longer.
A. Be grateful for what does work
B. Read what you wrote previously
C. You should learn to forgive yourself and others
D. If we don’t, we will only attract more “bad things”
E. Don’t ignore those who once gave you a hand when you are in need
F. We can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps
G. Say “I am so glad that I am blessed to have a vehicle in which to get around”

Strange Footprints in the Snow
Tom woke up and looked around. For a moment, he wasn’t sure where he was. Then he remembered. He and his sister, Lucy, were visiting Aunt Gwen. Yesterday they spent seven hours helping Aunt Gwen clean her basement. Today they would have time to play.
He looked out of the window. Fresh snow covered the ground. He could hardly wait to go outside. Tom got dressed and hurried downstairs to the kitchen.
“Hi, sleepyhead（贪睡者）,” said Aunt Gwen. “Lucy has already eaten her breakfast. She’s outside.”
“That’s where I’m going as soon as I finish breakfast,” Tom said.
A short time later, he zipped up（拉上拉链）his coat, put on his boots, and walked out of the front door. The sun made the snow sparkle. He looked around. He didn’t see his sister, but he saw something else. There were strange footprints left in the snow across Aunt Gwen’s yard.
“They’re far too big to be Lucy’s. They look like they belong to a dinosaur,” Tom said. Then he added, “But that’s silly. Dinosaurs are not around anymore.”
He looked closer: The footprints were the shape of a very large oval（椭圆）with a stem. “Maybe they belong to an elephant or a hippo that escaped from the zoo,” he thought. He held his breath and listened. He didn’t hear anything.
He remembered a book he’d seen earlier on Aunt Gwen’s shelf. It was a book about animal tracks. He dashed inside to get it. The book had pictures of animals and the tracks they made. He turned the pages one by one, but none of the photos looked like the footprints in Aunt Gwen’s yard.
He stared at those footprints again. An animal that made such big tracks would have to be heavy. Its tracks should sink far down into the snow. Yet these footprints seemed to skim across（掠过）the top.
How can that be? He wondered.
Tom noticed something else. The tracks never left Aunt Gwen’s yard. Instead, they turned and went around the house. “Maybe the animal is still here,” he whispered.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal. _________________________

W：Really? The last time we did that was before our wedding. I thought you hated shopping.
M：I do, and that’s why you should appreciate this gift!
W：That’s really nice of you! Let’s go in and try some things on.
M：How about this red dress? I think it would really suit you.

M：I’m not sure about this. I’d rather just give you my address.
W：I’m sorry, sir, but we also have to have your credit card number in order to send you the money.
M：Okay, then I’m going to hang up. Have a nice day.
W：Sir, wait! This is a real contest. We’d like to send you the prize money.

M：I’m hanging up now. Goodbye.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
How are you doing? Last month, the community where our school lies was on lockdown due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, Here, I’d like to tell you how I lived my life and did my lessons during the time.
To fight the epidemic and avoid infecting others or being infected, we had to observe the control measures and were not allowed to go out of our house. Groceries and daily necessities were supplied by the government. I stayed at home all day, watching TV and checking online news in my free time. Once a day I did physical exercise to build up my body.
We had our online classes according to the timetable of our class and the schedule of our school. After class, we must review our lessons and finish our assignments. We even had our tests online.
Thanks to the timely measures taken by the government, the pandemic is under control now and we have returned to school so far.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal. Quietly, he began following the footprints. He didn’t want to scare the animal away. There was nothing in sight except the strange footprints. Suddenly, there seemed to be some strange sounds ahead. Tom stopped and listened carefully. It came from the backyard, Thrilled, mixed with a feeling of a little fright, he quickened his pace! The sounds became clearer and clearer. Holding his breath, Tom peeked around the corner of the house.
It turned out that his sister was making the sounds. She had something worn on both feet. She was walking on the snow back and forth happily. Noticing her brother, Lucy waved excitedly, “See what I found in Aunt Gwen’s basement? They are old-fashioned snow shoes. Aunt Gwen said the shape helped walk steadily on the snow. And that is true!” Tom then laughed, “No wonder I couldn’t find those footprints in Aunt Gwen’s book.” There was no page for a snowshoeing sister.
