Arens, a driver of a delivery company, was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.

It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.

How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. The elderly man had entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃, and jumped into the rowboat.

His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.

Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.

A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.

The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.

Arens says, “That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”

24. What does the underlined word “hacking” in paragraph three most probably mean?

A. Finding        B. Cutting      C. Revising     D. Adopting

25. Why does Arens think “he stood a better chance” (in paragraph 3) according to the passage?

A. He had an advantage in age.                   B. He was able to jump into the rowboat.

C. He had better nerves to keep warm.             D. He was a faster swimmer. 

26. Which of the following statements is true about the incident?

A. After saving the dog, Arens carried her home.

B. Arens jumped into the river on seeing the dog.

C. Without Aren’s help, the dog could hardly survive.

D. The dog was hunting when she fell into the water.

27. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A special delivery of a driver                  B. A story of a pet lover

C. A dog suffering from heart attack               D. A fight against freezing waste

C

Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!

Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip（小口）of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.

Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries — either plain（无馅料的）or filled with cream, chocolate, etc. — as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.

Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about1.50！They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.

28. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

 A. By time.     B. By space.          C. By example.        D. By comparison. 

29. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?

 A. Lungo.  B. Cappuccino.    C. Espresso. D. Macchiato.

30. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?

 A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.

 B. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.

 C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.

 D. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.

31. What does the author think of Italian coffee?

 A. She loves its bitter taste.               B. It is too expensive for her.

 C. The cup is too small.                  D. It is a good choice for breakfast.

D

The idea of billions of people going through a few masks a week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution.

They’ve discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfills. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene(聚丙烯) plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road.

The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks and recycled concrete aggregate(RCA)—a material obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a change of 93 tons of waste from landfills.

The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt(沥青), as well as being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The research team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining raw materials, and as much as a third of the cost of shipping the used masks to a landfill.

The widespread application would be ideal for large infrastructure(基础设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.

It’s said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-scale test.

32. What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 2?

A. Recycled         B. Produced          C. Abandoned            D. Mixed 

33. What is the new material used to pave ways made of?

A. 2% torn masks, concrete and tons of trash.

B. Polypropylene plastic and building materials.

C. Waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings.

D. Single-use surgical masks and recycled concrete aggregate.

34. Why are numbers mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To prove this material is cost-effective in paving roads.

B. To tell us what the team has found

C. To explain repairing roads costs a lot of materials

D. To praise the hard work the team has done.

35. What can we learn from the text?

A. The material used to pave roads is made of masks.

B. Generally speaking, it requires two layers to create roadways.

C. The damaged roads in Washington were repaired with the RCA.

D. It remains to be tested whether the solution is practical.

How to Simplify Your Home Cleaning Routine

There are many ways to clean a house, but the best methods are those that save time and effort, while avoiding poisonous cleaning chemicals.  36  . Armed with these, you'll soon be looking for reasons to clean.

1. Keep stuff dry

Wetness is the enemy when it comes to keeping bathrooms and kitchens clean because it attracts bacteria. Leave the shower door or curtain open when not in use to allow for airflow.   37  . If you have dirty rags or dish cloths, hang them to dry between laundry loads.

2.   38 

You know how you move your face around in a mirror, using different angles to get a clear look? The same logic applies to cleaning. Use a flashlight to shine on surfaces, floors, and corners in order to spot dust and dirt you might have missed.

3. Put tools everywhere

A subtle yet effective trick: If there are cleaning brushes, rags, and solutions in every room or at least on every floor of the house, you'll tend to jump into a job when it needs to be done:   39  .

4. Never skip these two tasks

If you make your bed every morning, you'll start the day with a small sense of accomplishment and end it with a sense of satisfaction.   40  . Melissa Maker, owner of Toronto-based company Clean My Space, describes it as “the bed of the kitchen”.

1. Light the dirt

B. Purchase a flashlight

C. Always run a fan or open a window when showering to let out steam

D. The same goes for the kitchen sink

E. With the proper tricks up your sleeve, you’ll always feel ready for the job

During the corona-virus lockdown, a fifth-grade teacher contacted me asking for help. She was   41     with students not attending online class but her students all loved the story in my book. So she asked if I had any     42  .

My immediate   43   was for me to do a   44   book club where I would read to the students. The idea was   45   by Mrs. Sandberg, my first teacher in America.

When I moved to America from Iran in 1972, I spoke seven words of English. Despite the language 46  , I immediately loved school. My favorite part of the day was   47   lunch, when Mrs. Sandberg read to us. Her kind voice transported me to   48   places where animals could talk and where kids had grand adventures.

With this joyful memory, I started the club. At the first session, five kids   49  . I read to them and tried to    50    a conversation. Whenever I asked a question, I was met with complete   51  . The following week, a few more kids came; they   52   started responding, but with one-word answers. The next session, they gave    53    answers and more students participated in the conversations.

This club has quickly become the   54   of my week. I have gotten to know the students and grown fond of every single one of them. Reading out loud forces me to forget everything else for an hour. I recently wondered if our post-lunch reading hour had given Mrs. Sandberg a chance to forget her   55  , too.

67. 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。

As a language arts teacher, I think it my duty to teach my kids how to use our tools of words well. Use your tool right—this is what I always tell them. But I never expected to learn that lesson from them.

I clearly remembered it was my 40th birthday. On that day, my sixth-grade students were seated in a large circle, each holding a different tool in their hand—a hammer, a flashlight, a screwdriver, etc. The students discussed how words are like tools—they have the ability to build or to destroy, and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can bring about great results. They freely shared personal stories of how they had experienced someone’s words used as a tool, to wound or to heal.

I watched and listened with a sense of satisfaction—the students were engaged, attentive, and enjoying the lesson. They got it! It was one of those times when I sat back and enjoyed the magic of being a teacher—to have the opportunity to watch young people discover a greater truth about life about each other, and about themselves. There was no better gift than that.

As we neared the end of that school day, one of my students, Laura, had an unexpected outburst of defiance(违抗) in class. Busy scribbling (涂画) in her exercise book, she refused to work with her group. I was aware from reading Laura's file that she had struggled with defiant behavior in previous years, but we had developed a good relationship and she was always a respectful, thoughtful, and positive contributor to our class. Her behavior caught me off guard. “I’m disappointed in you!”With a sharp tone, I asked her to excuse herself and told her I would visit with her in our next-door meeting room after school. She refused to leave and sat silently, staring at me angrily from the back of the room.

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。

“This was NOT optional”, I firmly told her, sounding unpleasantly bitter.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But the meeting room rang with her response “You’re using your tool against me!”
