A

I was on a train in Switzerland (瑞士). Thirty minutes later, the train came to a stop and the conductor’s (乘务员) voice over the loudspeaker delivered a message in German, Italian and French. I’d made the mistake of not learning any of those languages before my vacation.

Everyone started getting off the train and an old woman saw that I was confused and stressed. (I had to catch an overnight train to Rome, and I was flying home from there). She could speak some English and told me that an accident had happened on the tracks (轨道). She asked me where I was trying to get to, then went and talked to some workers, and came back to tell me that we’d have to hop (换乘) trains three or four times to get there.

I was really glad she was heading the same way because it would have been impossible for me to figure it out on my own (自己弄清楚). So we went from one train station to the next, getting to know each other along the way. She was really the sweetest woman. It was a 2.5-hour journey in total, and when we made it to the final destination (目的地) , we got off and said our goodbyes. I had made it just in time to catch my train to Rome. She told me she had a train to catch as well. I asked her how much farther she had to go and it turned out (结果是) that her home was two hours back the other way. She had jumped from train to train and travelled the whole just to make sure that I made it. I was in shock. A woman spent her whole day sitting on trains and taking her hours away from her home just to help out a confused (迷惑的) tourist visiting her country.

No matter how many countries I visit, I’ll always say the most beautiful country in the world is Switzerland.

21．The author had to get off the train at a stop because ________.

A．she got on the wrong train by mistake B．there was an accident on the tracks

C．she couldn’t understand the constructor D．an old woman invited her to travel together

22．The old woman travelled the whole way with the author just to ________.

A．make sure the author wouldn’t get lost B．practice her English with the author

C．spend time with a foreigner on the train D．show the author around her country

23．What can we infer from the text?

A．The old woman is in Rome, Italy.

B．The author’s English is not better than the old woman’s.

C．The author thinks people in Switzerland are quite nice.

D．The old woman helped get a ticket to the final destination.

B

A project, under which senior people living alone take care of students who are not their grandchildren while the parents are still at work, is useful in cutting down the pressure of working parents and the loneliness of senior people.

The project was started by a neighborhood in Chengdu, Sichuan. Besides picking up the students after school, the old people also cook dinner for them and help them with homework. All services are paid nothing.

Yang Qiong, founder of the project, said the idea came from a personal experience of hers. The 33-year-old community worker has two children who would be unattended (没人照顾的) after school when she and her husband were still at work. One day, she asked an old woman in her community to take care of her children and found that the three had a good time together. And after several old people told her that they wanted to do something for the community, she decided to give the idea a try.

After a simple survey, she learned that 40 percent of the students in the neighborhood were in such a situation. And their parents strongly hoped this could be solved. When the project began in July 2019, old people showed great interest in it.

According to Yang, the grannies take care of 30 to 40 children a day. A granny named Zhang was the first to sign up for the project. “Though I’m old, I still want to help,” she said.

Families receiving help visit the old people often, buying vegetables and cooking dinners for them on weekends.

24．What can we know about the project from the first two paragraphs?

a. Where it was started.        b. Why it was started.

c. When it was started.        d. How it started.

A．ab. B．bc. C．cd. D．ad.

25．Where does Yang Qiong work?

A．In a school. B．In an old people’s home.

C．In a hospital. D．In a community.

26．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Senior people who are living alone often feel very lonely in their lives.

B．Most parents who are still at work are under much stress from their jobs.

C．Senior people provide free care service for unattended children after school.

D．A woman has set up a project to cut down the loneliness of senior people.

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned (布置) in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.

Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people are old, their muscles begin to get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.

You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice.

Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that?

Do not just discount pay attention to a text because it is unfamiliar (不熟悉的) to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (视角). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a wider perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in far away places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.

Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it has. Then move on to the next one.

27．The writer advises you to read everything at school because ________.

A．you will love it if you read it enough

B．you will get better grades in reading class

C．you will make your teacher very happy

D．you will learn more new words

28．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．you should pay more attention to the familiar text

B．you will feel bored after you think more intelligently

C．reading helps you perform on tests and get into top schools

D．reading widens your perspective and makes you a better person

29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways

B．Reading: The Key to a Successful Future

C．Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary and Grades

D．Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills

D

Last night, a school night, my 11-year old son’s baseball team played a game that lasted until 9: 30. By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10: 30—an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience (耐心) , teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.

As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. So we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. For example, we encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程) or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned (来之不易的)  success and achievements.

However, the irony (讽刺) is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make, responsibilities and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability.

Parents make bedtime routines (计划) and carry out strict rules about night time. But in fact these measures (措施) aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that.In order to make sure that our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.

30．What can we learn from the writer’s son’s story in Paragraph 1?

A．It’s never too old to learn. B．Where there is a will, there is a way.

C．East or west, home is best. D．Every coin has two sides.

31．How does the writer show how parents help their kids grow and develop in Paragraph 2?

A．With some pictures.  B．With some examples. 

C．With some studies.  D．With some numbers.

32．What can we know about the writer’s son according to the passage?

A．He used to go to sleep at 10: 30 p.m. B．He used to play baseball every night.

C．He can’t get enough sleep. D．His parents don’t have strict rules about nighttime.

33．What would be probably talked about in the fifth paragraph?

A．Measures parents and schools should take. B．Ways to develop skills of playing baseball.

C．Reasons for kids to sleep well at night. D．Advantages for kids to sleep well at night.

第二部分

本部分共6题,共20分。根据题目要求,完成相应任务。

四、阅读表达（每题2分,共10分）

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过10个词。）

How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered (递送)? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances(进步) in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.

Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools(社交媒体工具) let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.

The digital age(数字时代) also enables us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.

 But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.

If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems. On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.

But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquired(获得) friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.

34．Why have the ways of making friends and communicating with them changed greatly?

____________________________________________________

35．How can we stay in touch with our faraway friends?

____________________________________________________

36．How do you know online friendship can be real and meaningful?

____________________________________________________

37．Can we acquire real friendship online according to the passage?

____________________________________________________

38．What do you think of making friends online?
