I grew up in a house where my mother did not trust my sisters and me to manage our own appearance. As a result, there were ____31____, and fashion was largely ignored (忽视).
However, two years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, in her early 70s, called me into her bedroom. “I don’t know what to wear”, she ____32____ “You girls always look so good.” I looked at her, wondering if I’d misunderstood. “What do you mean?” I asked her, “You know what to wear.”
“No, I don’t.” She answered. “Can you pick something for me?” She repeated the question again. I was so ____33____ and couldn’t believe my ears.
This was the same woman who had told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to wear a pair of ripped (有破洞的) jeans; the same woman who, in high school, called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was up. “Don’t do that, because you look ____34____ with your hair down.” she told me, before I could ____35____.
Suddenly, I realized that my mother—always so strong—not only wanted my opinion ___36___ needed it.
I pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet. “This ____37____ your black shoes perfectly,” I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her.

But with that ____38____, my mother and I started the role exchange reversal (转变) that happens with all parents and all children, from caregiver to receiver.
Now, if I’m visiting or we’re together, it’s ____39____ for her to wear anything without asking me for advice first. I’m still always a bit surprised by the admission (承认) of her uncertainty.

IV. 阅读理解。(41-43小题，每小题1分，44-59小题，每小题2分，共35分)
阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A

The country is India. A large dinner party is being given by an official and his wife. The guests are local famous people and an American scientist.
At one side of the long table a young girl and a colonel (上校) have a heated discussion. The girl insists women have made great progress and they are not as timid as before. The colonel says women always scream loudly and can’t control their deeds when there’s something dangerous. The other men at the table agree with him.
The American scientist doesn’t join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. Suddenly he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, the muscles of her face contracting (收缩) slightly. With a small gesture she calls the native boy standing behind and whispers to him. The boy’s eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else except the American sees this.
The American doesn’t realize there is a snake in the room until the boy puts a bowl of milk outside the glass door. Where is the snake? He looks around and finds out there is only one place—under the table.
He wants to jump back and warns the others, but he knows such actions will frighten the snake and it will strike. He speaks quickly, “I want to know what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred and not one of you is to move.”
The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. In the process of counting he sees the snake make for the bowl of milk. It is a cobra (眼镜蛇). Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to shut the door.
“You certainly were right, Colonel!” the host says aloud. ‘‘A man has just shown us an example of real control.”
“Just a minute,” the American says, turning to the hostess, “there’s one thing I’d like to know. Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?”
A faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies, “Because it was lying across my foot.”
41．Why does a strange expression come over Mrs. Wynnes’ face?
A．Because she isn’t interested in the discussion. B．Because she is surprised by something terrible.
C．Because she is tired of such a noisy dinner party. D．Because she doesn’t agree with what the colonel says.
42．What can we infer from the passage about the American scientist?
A．He is curious and easily frightened. B．He is a wise person with a sharp mind.
C．He is shy and doesn’t care about others. D．He is a rude person with poor knowledge.
43．Which is the best title for the story?
A．A Brave Man. B．An Unexpected Cobra.
C．A Dinner Party. D．An Endless Discussion.

B

Do you know full confidence in your memory? Look at the two pictures and choose the one which you think is correct. Then check with the answer.
Answer: The one on the right is correct. Pikachu never had a black tail in any of its various versions. Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail.
There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man...” (“故天将降大任于是/斯人也……”).
Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People’s Education Press (PEP), a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi.
Supporters of si feel shocked and say they’ve experienced the “Mandela Effect”—the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn’t.
Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013. US researchers Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon, coining the term (术语) which has been in use till now.
Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind.
For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad—this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened.
The internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science Journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds.
44．Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 3?
A．To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect. B．To raise readers’ interest in confabulation.
C．To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect. D．To discuss which word is the right one, si or shi.
45．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “coining” in Paragraph 6?
A．Inventing. B．Borrowing. C．Describing. D．Correcting.
46．How does the writer further explain the Mandela Effect?
A．By showing pictures. B．By giving examples.
C．By listing numbers. D．By drawing conclusions.
47．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Most people know the former South African president Mandela well.
B．The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP.
C．If you can tell the right Pikachu, you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect.
D．If you remember details that never happened, you may experience the Mandela Effect.

C
Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili (辣椒) plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves.
48．What will plants do when they are attacked by insects?
A．They will kill the insects by themselves.
B．They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C．They will send out signals to ask for help.
D．They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help.
49．How is the wood wide web linked by fungi?
A．By making noises with their roots.
B．By connecting the roots of different plants to each other.
C．By sharing food and information with each other.
D．By spreading chemicals to each other.
50．What is the structure of the passage?
A． B． C． D．
51．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．The Secret Language of Plants. B．The Study about the Plant Warning System.
C．The Plants that Give Warnings. D．Why Scientists Do Research about Plants.

D

For many animals, an island can be a great place to live. Water all around keeps big predators away. But islands have their own dangers. Food and water are limited. A storm or volcano can easily wipe out a whole population or change the land in big ways. If a predator (like cats or rats) does arrive, there’s no escape. These challenges can cause island animals to evolve (进化) quite differently from their mainland ancestors (祖先). So, islands around the world are home to rare species found nowhere else.
The Galápagos are a group of small volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles (966km) west of Ecuador. When these islands first erupted (喷发) from the sea, they were empty of life. Over time, plant seeds blew or drifted there. Birds arrived, bringing more seeds. Tortoises and iguanas (鬣蜥) floated over on logs.
When scientist Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos in 1835, he noticed something interesting. Many of the islands had similar animals—iguanas, land tortoises, small birds. But these animals were a bit different on each island. On one island, birds called finches had long, narrow beaks —right for catching bugs. But on the next island, the finches had short, strong beaks. That island had more seeds, and fewer bugs. Each type of finch had a beak that matched the most common food on its island. He found similar differences in the tortoises and iguanas.
After thinking about this for many years, Darwin’s observations led him to a startling new idea. He realized that each family of animals probably shared a common ancestor—the original birds or turtles who flew or drifted there. Gradually, as they spread to different islands, the young with traits that best suited the food on that island did better. But since each island was different, the birds or turtles on each island evolved slightly different traits. He called this idea “natural selection”.
Darwin’s idea explained more than just the Galápagos. It also explains why islands are so often home to unusual animals. Islands separate animals from others of their kind and present them with new challenges. Those animals that do best on an island many not be the same ones who did best on the mainland. So over time, they become different.
52．The writing purpose of this passage is ________.
A．to introduce the form of the Galápagos B．to tell a story about Charles Darwin
C．to explain the importance of the environment D．to discover the secrets of island animals
53．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _________.
This is often the way plants and animals come and live on islands.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4
54．What can we learn about “natural selection”?
A．It proved islands are the perfect home to different animals.
B．It was used to describe some special animals the Galápagos.
C．It announced the result of the research on certain island animals.
D．It was named after the islands where Darwin formed his discovery.
55．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Mainland animals never evolve for there are fewer dangers around.
B．Big island animals can get smaller since they have limited food on islands.
C．Darwin first mistook different finches for totally unrelated kinds of animals.
D．The Galápagos were considered as a natural laboratory to do special research.

My daughter is ten. I can feel time creeping up on(开始影响) us. And recently it’s been hitting me in an unexpected location—bedtime reading.
From the earliest days of my daughter’s life, I would read to her when it was time to go to sleep. It was our nightly tradition and we loved it. I got great parental satisfaction from how well my kid spoke at a young age.
But she’s getting older. And our bedtime reading tradition is starting to show signs of that age. Her books are getting more complex(复杂的). In the old days, we’d read a few picture books before bed. But her literary (文学的) tastes have developed so greatly now. She spent months reading the Harry Potter series, and once done, she was eager for more. She wanted bigger, longer, more meaningful books. If we read one of these books together at bedtime, it can take weeks or months for us to get through it.
Besides, she’s getting bigger. In the old days, it was fine that I took up 90% of her twin bed, but now she needs more room and we struggle to both fit onto the bed, which makes our bedtime reading even more uncomfortable.
I am not willing to give up on bedtime reading yet, and neither is my daughter. I once tried to bring up the subject of not reading any more and she squashed it at once. I could tell she was also worried that our reading tradition might come to an end.
However, I don’t think I need to worry about my daughter not reading any more. It’s part of her DNA．I’ll let her read her books by herself and I’ll read mine by myself and I will force us to exchange opinions on them over breakfast the next morning. If I’m going to lose our old reading tradition, I will start another. Some things are worth fighting for, and reading is one of them.
56．How did bedtime reading do his daughter good according to the author?
A．It improved her sleeping habit. B．It reduced her stress and worries.
C．It made it easy for her to make friends. D．It helped to develop her language ability.
57．Why does the author worry that the bedtime reading tradition may come to an end?
A．His daughter becomes unwilling to share her thoughts.
B．He is too busy to read long stories to his daughter.
C．His daughter has outgrown bedtime reading.
D．He has lost interest in his daughter’s books.
58．What does the underlined word “ squashed” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．spread B．refused C．understood D．considered
59．What tradition does the author plan to start with his daughter?
A．Exchanging ideas before bed. B．Enjoying quiet reading together.
C．Discussing books at breakfast time. D．Suggesting books to each other.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
He had run for 208 hours 35 minutes, the equivalent（等量）of more than eight days. So, when Pan Junfan crossed the finish line in Guazhou, Gansu province, on Sept 18, the tears began to flow. Not tears of being tired, but tears of pride and achievement.
The 513 kilometers he had completed in northwestern China would challenge the greatest athletes in the world. The challenge was even greater for Pan, who had part of his right leg amputated（截肢）following a car accident a few years ago.
During the challenge through the Gobi Desert and the Altun Mountains, the 40-year-old faced temperatures from -20℃ at night to 30℃ in the daytime, wild animals and other dangers. About 400 kilometers of the road is even uninhabited（无人居住的）, where no people or animals can be found. As a result, Pan could turn to no one for help when he was in trouble. However, never for a moment had Pan thought of giving up and he finally managed to finish this trip.
“I hope that by completing the challenge I can encourage and tell myself that life is full of possibilities and not to stop trying in any situations,” Pail says. He called the challenge “Chasing（追逐）the Sun”. He can still remember the dark time when he was in hospital for three months. During that period, Pan kept asking himself three questions: “Was I happy with my life before the accident? If there is a second chance, will I restart my life? If it is time to start my life again, what should I do?” When a friend invited him to hike in the Gobi Desert in 2016, he finally found the answer to his questions.
Not long after the challenge, Pan published a book that described all of his experience. It caused a heated discussion among readers. Thousands of readers spoke highly of the book and made many comments（评价）. A disabled child who was about to give up was greatly inspired by Pan. He finally achieved success through hard work. He wrote a touching comment, “_______________________________________”
65．Did Pan Junfan cross the finish line?
