When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become 31 , or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my 32 diet, for those feelings meant that I was 33 .
34 the season progressed, things had become 35 between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my 36 . She talked with me about my eating and was 37 that I turned a deaf ear to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought 38 . Then my 39 started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a(n) 40 . One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, 41 I was going to. She looked at me, 42 in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I 43 then that I had ruined my senior year by being 44 , and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter 45 and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone 46 take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I 47 and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives 48 —not a friend. But Coach Smith is 49 , and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t 50 her kindness, but she gave it anyway.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
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
Should swimming lessons be mandatory (强制) in schools?
Guangdong province is set to make swimming lessons compulsory in primary schools starting from 2020, and proposing the courses be given from the fourth grade. Do we need to make swimming compulsory in schools? Forum readers share their opinions.
White Bear (Poland)
In Poland swimming lessons are not compulsory, but most of the schools have them. I think that when it is only possible --- there should be the swimming lessons for kids. It is a lifesaving skill.
Mister Panda (France)
I come from France where swimming lessons in school are compulsory. I even got my lifesaving certificate in school.
Jet Feng (China)
As a boy born in a rural area, I learnt swimming in a river near my home when I was 7 or 8 years old. I used to play in the river with boys my same age every summer, which was also the only entertainment we could make at that time, but we enjoyed it so much! I just learnt how to dog paddle because no one taught us. Until I entered university, I got a chance to enhance my swimming skills in PE lessons. Compared with my classmates, I felt lucky because most of them couldn't swim.
I think it’s a good idea for schools to teach students to swim. But as a matter of fact, not every school in China has the conditions to do that. In some less-developed areas, there is not even a swimming pool.
Boilermaker21 (Expat in China)
There are swimming lessons in my city, but I was very disappointed in how they were taught. The kids spent 45 minutes of the one hour lesson practicing strokes(拍水) ON DRY LAND. They only spent 15 minutes in the water. All of the children panicked and sank immediately to the bottom. Then all of the parents berated (指责) the children, telling them that they weren’t paying attention to the teacher and that they were failures.
Cecilia Zhang (China)
It is a pity that many Chinese athletes won world championships in swimming while most schools don’t have the swimming facilities. Swimming is an essential lifesaving skill that everyone should access to. The earlier, the better. The government needs to put money into the popularity of the sport.
51. What can be concluded from White Bear’s opinion?
A. In Poland, swimming lessons must be given at school.
B. In Poland, the swimming sport is very popular.
C. Most of the schools have swimming pools in Poland.
D. In Poland, students are required to swim every day.
52. What do we know about Jet Feng when he was a child?
A. He didn’t know how to swim.
B. He was brought up in a city.
C. He lived a colorful life in his childhood.
D. He didn’t receive formal swimming training.
53. How did Boilermaker21 feel about the swimming lessons in his city?
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Bored.
54. What can be indicated from Cecilia Zhang’s words?
A. Chinese athletes won world championship in swimming events.
B. Chinese schools have not paid any attention to the swimming lessons.
C. The government hasn’t spent enough money on the popularity of the sport.
D. It is a pity that few Chinese athletes won world championships in swimming.
55. In which section of the newspaper can you find the passage?
A. Entertainment. B. Advertisement. C. Education. D. Technology.
B
In 2018, the state of California was on fire. Alexandria Villaseñor, who was 13 at the time, witnessed the destruction of Northern California’s Camp Fire, which would go on to burn more than 150,000 acres of land. Villaseñor was scared. “That’s when I found out how important climate education was,” she reflected. “And just how much we lacked climate education these past couple of years.”
Villaseñor, now 15, is determined to have a bigger conversation. She quickly realized the fight requires international, government-level changes. For her, what started as local concern turned into a year-long protest in front of the United Nations’ New York City headquarters and a global campaign for more compulsory climate education. She sat on a bench in front of the headquarters, pleading(恳求) for the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously.
Her action received national attention, with millions of other students around the world joining in the movement. “It’s completely unacceptable to not learn anything about our planet and our environment in school, after all the young people would “inherit” the Earth.” Villaseñor said, “That’s why I think that climate education is so important, and that’s why I focus a lot on it now.”
Right now, Villaseñor is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan, which has promised to center the needs of young people and communities most impacted by climate change. She even spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.“That was definitely a huge moment when I realized that people were listening to the voices of me and youth climate activists,” Villaseñor said.
When she isn’t connecting with her fellow youth activists or holding elected officials accountable to the climate concerns of their young voters, Villaseñor is like most other teens. “My favorite thing to do, of course, is sleep” she said. “ I like to read, a lot. I like fantasy books, normally. I also like to write.”
56. What made Villaseñor realize the lack of climate education?
A. The state of California. B. The fire disasters in America.
C. 150,000 acres of land scaring her. D. The severe Camp fire in California.
57. What does the underlined part “have a bigger conversation” mean?
A. To talk with more local people to change their mind.
B. To convey her belief loudly to more global students.
C. To call on local people to fight with the leaders.
D. To protest to leaders at home and abroad to make changes.
58. We can infer from the passage that_________.
A. Villaseñor turned her original appeal into a lasting and widespread one
B. Villaseñor thinks the world's leaders have taken climate change seriously
C. Millions of students around the world are joining in the movement
D. Young people should do more things for the earth so as to inherit it
59. Which of the following facts gives Villaseñor a sense of achievement?
A. That she is working with the Biden-Harris administration on its climate plan.
B. That her and other youth climate activists’ opinions caught people’s attention.
C. That she can sleep and read in her spare time.
D. That more schools have set up climate courses.
60. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The 15-year-old activist fighting for better climate education.
B. Climate education deserves everyone’s attention around the world.
C. A young girl and her climate education.
D. Young activists make their voices heard.
C
Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.
Recently, a giant panda cub born in August at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.
This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring – and at a time when inspiration was truly needed.
“ Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic (疫情) , ” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “ We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”
The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “ panda diplomacy (外交)”.
According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.
China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.
But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.
It takes 10 years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In August, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China.
But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy. “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange,” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.
61. The expression “in a nod to” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. in praise for B. in response to
C. in favor of D. in order to observe
62.. Why China decided that pandas are only loaned to other countries?
A. Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.
B. Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to eat in other countries.
C. Because most of pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.
D. Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.
63. What can we learn from the text?
A. It was the first time that China had sent a panda to Japan.
B. The practice “panda diplomacy” dates from the Tang Dynasty.
C. China began panda diplomacy, sending two pandas to Moscow Zoo.
D. Two giant pandas had to be returned because they were sick in Canada.
64. What Steven Monfort’s attitude towards the special type of diplomacy?
A. Encouraging. B. Uncaring. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us how to feed pandas properly.
B. To call on people to love pandas in the world.
C. To introduce the furry black and white ambassador.
D. To explain why “panda diplomacy” is stopped.
D
When I was 17 years old I had surgery because of a disease. The day after the surgery, I awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I don’t remember much about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I don’t know how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip (输液). We benefit greatly from our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss.
Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships, those that we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial(商业的) relationships, those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return.
Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness, and true friendship. In Pleasure Friendships, he said, “It is not for their character that men love ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant.” About the usefulness friendships, he said, “Those who love each other for their utility (效用) do not love each other for themselves, but because of some good which they get from each other.”
Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short period and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory of personal gain.
It is precisely the non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threatened when we are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense, irrational (不合理的) . Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the true basis of friendship.
66. The author mentions his operation in the first paragraph to______.
A. recall one of his best friends B. advise people to visit sick friends
C. introduce the topic of true friendship D. talk about the experience of surgery
67. Consumer relationships center on ______.
A. the sharing of joy and sorrow B. mutual support in times of trouble
C. personal gain or personal loss D. immediate pleasure
68. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument by______ .
A. explaining three types of friendship B. discussing questions
C. analyzing causes and effects D. providing examples and facts
69. The author seems to support the idea that______ .
A. friendships are a matter of calculable gain or loss
B. there are no specific reasons for friendship
C. short-term pleasure is the center of friendship
D. everyday amusement is the true basis of friendship
70. The best title for the text would be ______.
A. Friendship in Modern Times B. Friendship in Economic Recession
C. Friendship in the Age of Economics D. Friendship in a Fast Paced Life

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I’m no literary luddite (反对新技术的人). I bought an iPad with my first paycheck from my first full time job after I graduated college. But after two years of reading occasionally on the device, I gave it away to my brother. It just wasn’t the right reading experience for me.
Technology lovers choose e-readers over books because e-readers are more convenient. They’re right. It is objectively easier to carry an 7oz. tablet with thousands and thousands of books at your finger tips than it is to carry five books in your bag (which is exactly what I did on vacation).
But I don’t read for convenience. I read to learn more about the world and myself. I have made friends by seeing a book cover in a cafe and noticing that it was the same title that I was reading. I can trace my life by the books that have been my companions. When I open an old book and come across my previously scribbled notes — shaky ones when I've been reading on the subway, covered in sand if I read it at the beach, next to a train ticket if I was traveling — I am able to add an extra level of personal depth and experience to the story I am about to re-read. It’s just not enough to simply consuming the story, which is what e-readers are great for.
When I read paper books, I hold onto them for long periods of time. I just purchased a new bookshelf specially for my “to be read” pile. Once in a while, I go through the process of deciding which books to donate, but usually the idea of parting with a book feels like giving away a part of my soul.
Physical books may not be the most efficient medium, but they are the most meaningful. So keep your Kindle, by all means. But I’ll be happy hoarding with my library.
71. Why did the author give his iPad to his brother? (no more than 10 words)

Hello everyone! It is my great honor to give a speech here. The theme of my speech is “Speaking English, Telling Chinese Stories”. Many a time do my classmates ask me why we should study English. I have ever asked myself why. And today I would like to tell all of you I study English hard in order to not only learn about the world but also let the world learn about China.
There’s no doubt that English is still an effective tool of communication. So learning English means opening a window to the world, by which we can learn more knowledge and skills from the advanced countries. However, in my opinion, what is the most important is that it is also a way for us to spread Chinese culture. It can help more people in the world to know more about China, a country with a long history and kind people.
As Chairman Xi says, we should be confident in our own culture. So I appeal to all of you to study English and tell Chinese stories to the world. Thank you for listening.
