Many families usually take their children to travel during school breaks. But Julie and Tim Smith planned a(n)    16    vocation with their two children — a one-year trip around the world.

三、阅读（共两节，满分35分）

阅读下列短文，从26～40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

Several times my daughter had telephoned to ask me to see the daffodils before they are over. I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.

After her third call, I promised to drive to my daughter’s house. When I finally arrived at her home and hugged my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is in the clouds and fogs, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!” My daughter smiled calmly and said, “I was hoping you’d take me over to the garage (修车厂) to pick up my car. I’ll drive. I’m used to this.”

After several minutes, I found that wasn’t the way to the garage! Carolyn smiled, “We are going to the garage the long way. It’s by way of the daffodils.” Hearing that, I got angry and asked her to turn around. “It’s all right, mother. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience,” my daughter said.

After 20 minutes, we turned onto a small path and I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”. We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned to a corner of the path. Before me lay the most glorious sight. There were five acres (亩) of flowers!

“But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn.

Carolyn pointed to a well-kept house. We walked up to the house where we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.

The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs,” it read.

The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman, two hands.”

The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”

For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than 35 years before, had begun — one bulb at a time, year after year — to bring her vision of beauty and joy to a mountain top. She had forever changed the world in which she lived and created beauty and inspiration.

It made me sad in a way. I admitted to Carolyn. “What might I have if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty—five or forty years ago?” My daughter answered in her usual direct way. “Start tomorrow,” she said.

26. Why didn’t the woman want to see the daffodils at first?

A. Because her daughter’s car was broken.

B. Because she got angry with her daughter.

C. Because it was too far for her to drive there.

D. Because her grandchildren refused to go there.

27. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Pointing to a well-kept house.

B. Growing five acres of flowers.

C. Seeing the five acres of flowers.

D. Taking the writer to see the daffodils.

28. What is the writer’s attitude towards the woman who grew daffodils?

A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful C. Worried. D. Respectful

29. What can we learn from the story?

A. Seeing is believing. B. Out of sight, out of mind.

C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Failure is the mother of success.

Shirley Jane Temple was the leading child actor of her time, receiving a special Oscar and acting the leading role in films like Bright Eyes and Heidi.

Shirley Jane Temple was born on April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, California. When Temple was just 3 years old, she began her first low-budget movie Baby Burlesques. Temple’s mother was aware of her girl’s talents by enrolling her in dance classes at the age of 3, so her father became her agent and financial adviser.

When the cute actress was 6 years old, she appeared in her first Hollywood film, Carolina. With Fox Film Corporation, Temple made an additional 8 films. The little actress, singer and dancer with the dancing golden curls became a top earner for the studio.

In 1934, she became a world-famous star in Bright Eyes, which was designed especially for her talents. The young performer showed many wonderful pictures during 1934. She received a special Children Academy Award in February 1935 for her outstanding contribution. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called Temple “Little Miss Miracle” for raising the public’s confidence during times of economic hardship.

After Temple grew up, she made guest appearances on television shows in the early 1960s and filmed a comedy that was never released. Temple acted in 46 films in her whole life. In 1969, her life got a great change — she began her diplomatic career and worked successfully till her late life. During her political career, Temple visited China in April, 1977. In 1988, she published her autobiography, Child Star. From this book we can learn about her experiences, achievements and so on.

Shirley Temple died of natural causes on February 10, 2014, at her home near San Francisco California. She was 85 years old.

Following her death, Temple’s family and friends published a statement that read, “We pay her respects for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife of 55 years.”

It happens every night-bedtime. But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed if you are just going to lie there with your eyes wide open? It’s a problem that has been around.

There are many reasons why you may not be able to fall asleep. You might be happy with everything you did that day. You might be excited about what you know you’re going to do the next day. Maybe you can’t sleep because you don’t like sleeping all alone in your room. All of these reasons are normal. However, there are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.

One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a rest, or upset at school, it can really help to tell somebody.

Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is perfect. If there’s anything about your room that makes you feel uncomfortable at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, be sure to ask one of your parents to move it away. Making sure electronics are kept away from your bed is also recommended as these things can keep you awake, making it harder for you to fall asleep.

If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand may help you fall asleep when you go to bed. Try to take more time to relax by taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime story at least 30 minutes before you want to go to sleep. It also helps to follow a bedtime routine and go to sleep at the same time every night. As a result, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep. Your body will know to start feeling tired.

In order to find the right solution for you, it’s important that you understand what exactly is keeping you up at night. And it’s okay if you need to reach out a parent or other adult you trust to find out why you are having trouble sleeping. Getting a night’s sleep is worth the time and effort of finding the right solution to your sleeping problems.

34. Which is NOT the reason why people can’t fall asleep?

A. They don’t like sleeping alone. B. They listen to a bedtime story.

C. They are excited about what to do. D. They are pleased with what they did.

35. How can you solve the problem of being unable to fall asleep?

A. Spending more time in relaxing before bedtime.

B. Going to bed at a different time every night.

C. Staring at a picture that looks strange in the dark.

D. Not talking to anyone about something that is bothering you.

36. What’s the use of taking a warm bath?

A. To keep warm. B. To be happy.

C. To feel excited. D. To relax yourself.

37. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Why people may be restless or anxious at bedtime.

B. Why people can’t fall asleep and possible solutions.

C. How people can relax before bedtime to help them fall asleep.

D. Why using electronics at bedtime can make falling asleep more difficult.

第二节  阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay? Do you like the luxury of a five-star hotel or the convenience of a self-cooking apartment? 41.________ If you haven’t tried the latter, why not join the people who are enjoying the pleasures of camping?

By taking your tent, and some necessities, it’s easy to head off to the countryside and enjoy a night or two under the stars. Many campers are leaving their modern, busy life to do this. Experts say a few peaceful nights in the wild countryside might be a good way to relax and improve our sense of happiness. 42.________

For the adventurous, wild camping is the escape from reality. 43.________ And you can enjoy the simple and nice experience. One wild camper, Mr. Smith, said, “The act of sleeping when everybody else has gone home—when you notice the wildlife and the stars—is one of the best things in life.”

44.________ Here you have facilities such as washrooms, a shop and maybe even a restaurant. Nowadays, camping — and touring car — has always been popular. One survey found around 360 million people went camping in China last year.

Recently, more people have chosen to stay in their own countries on holiday because of the COVID-19. 45.________ With the addition of powerful torches, lamps to light up your tent and a better choice of easy-to-cook food, you are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. The only thing you can’t insure is good weather! So maybe it’s time to give camping a try.
