Time passed. There was plenty of food and no work in the Southland, and White Fang lived fat and happy. Except for Collie, all things went well for him. He learned how to laugh, and how to play at fighting with his master without really biting him. When his master rode his horse, White Fang went with him. He never got tired, because he ran like a wolf.
Once, when they were out riding, his master fell from his horse and broke his leg.
“Home! Go home!” said his master, when he understood his injury(受伤).
White Fang didn’t want to leave him.
“Go home and tell them what happened to me.” White Fang knew the meaning of “home”, though not the rest of the message. But he went.
He ran to Scott’s wife and pulled her dress, but it tore and she was afraid and angry. He stood before Scott’s father growling(嗥叫) until he told White Fang to lie down. He looked at all their faces.
“I think he’s trying to speak,” said Scott’s daughter, Beth.
And at that moment he started to bark — something he had never done before.
“Something’s happened to Scott,” said his wife.
They were all on their feet now, and White Fang ran out of the house. He looked back at them using his eyes to say: “Follow me”.
After this everyone liked him even more.
It was during White Fang’s second winter in the Santa Clara Valley that he made a strange discovery. Collie’s teeth were no longer sharp. Her bites seemed more like playing than hurting. Soon White Fang started playing with her.
(Adapted from White Fang)

A．Because White Fang didn’t follow his orders.

You might have heard of Bear Grylls. He is a famous traveller from the UK. He likes to travel to beautiful and dangerous places around the world. But more than 400 years ago in China, there was a traveller even cooler than Bear Grylls. He spent 30 years travelling across China. His name was Xu Xiake.
Where did Xu go?
Xu travelled to 21 provinces and over 100 cities in China. He climbed thousands of mountains and found more than 350 caves. ① He was the first person to find the highest peak of Huangshan Mountain. He was also the first to find lots of karst caves(喀斯特溶洞). What’s more, he first found out the Yangtze River’s headwater.
Xu travelled mostly on foot. He often slept and ate in the wild. On his way, he was robbed (被抢劫) three times. Sometimes he fell into rivers or ran into dangerous animals. But he never gave up and enjoyed his journey. ②
How did Xu start his journey?
Xu Xiake was born in Jiangsu province. When he was a child, Xu enjoyed reading books about Chinese mountains and rivers. ③
At that time, many kids were studying hard to become officials(官员). But Xu’s father never made him take any exams. Instead, he encouraged(鼓励) his son to go outside and find out the new world. Xu began his journey when he was about 20 years old.④

Masks mark a hero
What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新冠肺炎), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.
As of Feb 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients.
“I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.
With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.
When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.
“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.
US writer Khalil Gibran (1883—1931) once wrote, “Tenderness (温柔) and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair (绝望), but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.
Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary (不同寻常的) times, they are heroes.
38．What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?
A．He wants to help as many patients as possible.
B．His illness makes him work without fear.
C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.
D．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.
39．Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?
A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.
B．There is no network signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.
D．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.
40．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.
B．To explain what makes a modern-day hero.
C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.
D．To show the difficulties faced by the medical staff treating NCP patients.

Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep.
Why does it happen?
A new study shows one reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about possible dangers. It prevented us from getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were told to sleep in a lab for several days as researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got better and better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. So, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive (敏感的) to anything strange around.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to work ,even though you don’t realize it,” US professor Jerome Siege told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens, you can be alert (警惕的).”
More surprisingly, this is like the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with one eye staying open.
The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化) and works to protect us in possibly dangerous environments.
If you have ever had first night effects, researchers advise you to bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
Topic
First night effect
People’s possible experience

Many people know the music John Williams wrote for the film Jaws(《大白鲨》). As soon as you hear it you begin thinking that a shark will attack. And that is exactly what you are meant to think. On the big screen, Jaws is a scary film. However, if you watch it without the music, it becomes boring. The music tells you to be frightened about what you are seeing.
Good film scores(电影配乐) always signal how to feel about what is happening on the screen.
____46____ He did the music for many films, such as The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lion King. Zimmer and Williams have very different styles and ideas for film scores. There are people who do not like Zimmer’s scores because they sometimes do not stand out enough. ____47____ When you leave a film, you should not be saying. “Wow ! Great music!” Instead, you should be saying, “Wow! Great films!”
A third, very different kind of film composer is Tan Dun. ____48____ Tan started out as a musician for the Peking Opera. However, he fell in love with Western classical music, and started writing classical Western operas that show a strong touch of Chinese music. Like his operas, the scores for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Hero use Chinese musical instruments and styles in a western classical music scores. The music follows all the rules of most film scores the purpose is to tell you how to feel about the action in the film, and to help tell the story. However, perhaps because of Tan’s background in classical music, his scores can stand alone as works of art without needing a film to support them.
Film scores are almost always forms of classical music. However, unlike most classical music they have never been considered high art. ____49____
A．Perhaps with Tan Dun, this will begin to change.
B．No one can talk about film scores without talking about Hans Zimmer.
C．They can never reach an agreement.
D．Unlike many film composers, he has classical music background.
E．Of course, in many ways, that is not the point.
F．William is not alone in making audience feel so.

When talking about picking a right school, a mother and teacher gave some pieces of advice.
In the latest issue (期) of Youth magazine, the mother shared the school advice she gave her daughters with young people across the country.
“I’ve told my daughters many times that I don’t want them to choose a name,” the mother said. “I don’t want them to think, ‘Oh, I should go to these top schools.’ We live in a country with hundreds of excellent universities. So the first question is: what’s going to work for me?”
“When it was time to prepare for picking schools, nobody around me believed I could get into Xiamen University. But through hard work I finally made it,” she continued. “So, my second piece of advice is: believe in yourself, no matter what other people might say. Once your goal is set, you only need to try your best to make it come true.”
“The last piece of advice is not to be worried even if your dreams don’t come true. As I’ve said above, there are so many good universities out there. So it’s important for everybody to understand that you can always find a university that gives you a great education.”

1．D
【详解】句意：这份报纸说一个叫“NotOk”的应用会被制作出来，在其他人感觉不好的时候用来帮助他们。
考查冠词。a/an一个，不定冠词，表示泛指，元音音素前用an；the这个，那个，定冠词，表示特指。根据语义可知，第一空为泛指，表示某一，任一，且app首字母为元音音素/æ/，用an；第二空表示泛指，others为复数，前不用冠词，表示“其他人”。故选D。
2．A
【详解】句意：汤姆是个诚实的男孩，他从不为上学迟到找借口。
考查动词短语。makes up编造；takes up占用；puts up张贴；sets up建立。根据“Tom is such an honest boy that he never...excuses...”可知，此处指他从不编造借口，句子是一般现在时态，主语为第三人称单数，谓语动词用单三形式。故选A。
3．D
【详解】句意：——我等不及要去参加毕业旅行了！你知道什么时候开始吗？——直到下个月才开始。耐心点。
考查宾语从句。宾语从句需用陈述句语序，AB两项都是疑问句语序，可排除。how long问多长时间，主要用来对一段时间提问；how soon问还有多久，主要用来对表示将来的一段时间提问。根据回答“Not until next month”，故选D。
4．B
【详解】句意：人脸识别被广泛用于支付。因此，我们再也没必要输入密码了。
考查副词短语。For example例如；As a result因此；What’s more此外；What’s worse更糟糕的是。根据前文“Facial recognition(人脸识别) technology is widely used for payment”，可知后文表示结果，故选B。
5．D
【详解】句意：据报道，世界上三分之二的土壤在20世纪90年代受到污染。
考查分数及年代的表达。英语中分数的表达为：分母用序数词，分子用基数词，当分子大于1时，分母要加-s，因此三分之二表达为two-thirds，排除选项BC；表示世纪和年代时，用in the+年份的复数，因此20世纪90年代表示为in the 1990s。故选D。
6．A
【详解】句意：——目前年轻人更喜欢微信与朋友保持联系。 ——是的。这似乎是人们最喜欢的沟通方式。考查连词的用法。A. that用于某些动词、形容词和名词后，引出从句；B. why为什么；C. who谁；D. what什么。观察句子结构可知，要填的是定语从句的关系词，先行词“ the best way of communication”指物在定语从句中作宾语，所以要填关系代词that。故选A。
7．B
【详解】句意：当她下班回家时，她发现垃圾仍然放在原来放的地方。
考查过去完成时和动词辨析。lay摆放（动词原形），躺（lie的过去式）；laid摆放（lay的过去式和过去分词）；lain躺（lie的过去分词）；lying躺，说谎（lie的现在分词）。空处指“摆放”垃圾，且在助动词had后面，构成过去完成时，应使用过去分词形式laid。故选B。

Time passed. There was plenty of food and no work in the Southland, and White Fang lived fat and happy. Except for Collie, all things went well for him. He learned how to laugh, and how to play at fighting with his master without really biting him. When his master rode his horse, White Fang went with him. He never got tired, because he ran like a wolf.
Once, when they were out riding, his master fell from his horse and broke his leg.
“Home! Go home!” said his master, when he understood his injury(受伤).
White Fang didn’t want to leave him.
“Go home and tell them what happened to me.” White Fang knew the meaning of “home”, though not the rest of the message. But he went.
He ran to Scott’s wife and pulled her dress, but it tore and she was afraid and angry. He stood before Scott’s father growling(嗥叫) until he told White Fang to lie down. He looked at all their faces.
“I think he’s trying to speak,” said Scott’s daughter, Beth.
And at that moment he started to bark — something he had never done before.
“Something’s happened to Scott,” said his wife.
They were all on their feet now, and White Fang ran out of the house. He looked back at them using his eyes to say: “Follow me”.
After this everyone liked him even more.
It was during White Fang’s second winter in the Santa Clara Valley that he made a strange discovery. Collie’s teeth were no longer sharp. Her bites seemed more like playing than hurting. Soon White Fang started playing with her.

You might have heard of Bear Grylls. He is a famous traveller from the UK. He likes to travel to beautiful and dangerous places around the world. But more than 400 years ago in China, there was a traveller even cooler than Bear Grylls. He spent 30 years travelling across China. His name was Xu Xiake.
Where did Xu go?
Xu travelled to 21 provinces and over 100 cities in China. He climbed thousands of mountains and found more than 350 caves. ① He was the first person to find the highest peak of Huangshan Mountain. He was also the first to find lots of karst caves(喀斯特溶洞). What’s more, he first found out the Yangtze River’s headwater.
Xu travelled mostly on foot. He often slept and ate in the wild. On his way, he was robbed (被抢劫) three times. Sometimes he fell into rivers or ran into dangerous animals. But he never gave up and enjoyed his journey. ②
How did Xu start his journey?
Xu Xiake was born in Jiangsu province. When he was a child, Xu enjoyed reading books about Chinese mountains and rivers. ③
At that time, many kids were studying hard to become officials(官员). But Xu’s father never made him take any exams. Instead, he encouraged(鼓励) his son to go outside and find out the new world. Xu began his journey when he was about 20 years old.④

Masks mark a hero
What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新冠肺炎), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.
As of Feb 19, a total of 32,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.
Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients.
“I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.
With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.
Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.
When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.
“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.
US writer Khalil Gibran (1883—1931) once wrote, “Tenderness (温柔) and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair (绝望), but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medical workers.
Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary (不同寻常的) times, they are heroes.
38．What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s words?
A．He wants to help as many patients as possible.
B．His illness makes him work without fear.
C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.
D．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.
39．Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls?
A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.
B．There is no network signal at the temporary mobile hospital.
C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.
D．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.
40．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.
B．To explain what makes a modern-day hero.
C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.
D．To show the difficulties faced by the medical staff treating NCP patients.
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题
四、阅读填表（共5分）
Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep.
Why does it happen?
A new study shows one reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about possible dangers. It prevented us from getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were told to sleep in a lab for several days as researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got better and better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. So, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive (敏感的) to anything strange around.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to work ,even though you don’t realize it,” US professor Jerome Siege told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens, you can be alert (警惕的).”
More surprisingly, this is like the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with one eye staying open.
The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化) and works to protect us in possibly dangerous environments.
If you have ever had first night effects, researchers advise you to bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.

五、阅读还原5选4（共5分）
Many people know the music John Williams wrote for the film Jaws(《大白鲨》). As soon as you hear it you begin thinking that a shark will attack. And that is exactly what you are meant to think. On the big screen, Jaws is a scary film. However, if you watch it without the music, it becomes boring. The music tells you to be frightened about what you are seeing.
Good film scores(电影配乐) always signal how to feel about what is happening on the screen.
____46____ He did the music for many films, such as The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lion King. Zimmer and Williams have very different styles and ideas for film scores. There are people who do not like Zimmer’s scores because they sometimes do not stand out enough. ____47____ When you leave a film, you should not be saying. “Wow ! Great music!” Instead, you should be saying, “Wow! Great films!”
A third, very different kind of film composer is Tan Dun. ____48____ Tan started out as a musician for the Peking Opera. However, he fell in love with Western classical music, and started writing classical Western operas that show a strong touch of Chinese music. Like his operas, the scores for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Hero use Chinese musical instruments and styles in a western classical music scores. The music follows all the rules of most film scores the purpose is to tell you how to feel about the action in the film, and to help tell the story. However, perhaps because of Tan’s background in classical music, his scores can stand alone as works of art without needing a film to support them.

A．Perhaps with Tan Dun, this will begin to change.
B．No one can talk about film scores without talking about Hans Zimmer.
C．They can never reach an agreement.
D．Unlike many film composers, he has classical music background.
E．Of course, in many ways, that is not the point.

When talking about picking a right school, a mother and teacher gave some pieces of advice.
In the latest issue (期) of Youth magazine, the mother shared the school advice she gave her daughters with young people across the country.

“When it was time to prepare for picking schools, nobody around me believed I could get into Xiamen University. But through hard work I finally made it,” she continued. “So, my second piece of advice is: believe in yourself, no matter what other people might say. Once your goal is set, you only need to try your best to make it come true.”
“The last piece of advice is not to be worried even if your dreams don’t come true. As I’ve said above, there are so many good universities out there. So it’s important for everybody to understand that you can always find a university that gives you a great education.”
