一、阅读理解
Have you heard of the following events?
Sheep shearing (修剪)
It’s a big sport in New Zealand, which proudly hosts the annual Golden Shears International Championships. Held in the town of Masterton in March, the four-day event seeks to identify the world’s fastest sheep shearer. The event is not all about shearing; live bands bring a party atmosphere to it. It’s attractive to many tourists.
Lucha libre
It’s a form of freestyle wrestling with a devoted fan base in its native Mexico. Competitors are famous for their well-made masks, which keep their identities a secret. That’s until they are defeated in the fight, which often requires losers to show their faces. Don’t forget to bring some loose change: when viewers are impressed by a victorious wrestler, they throw money at them. You may enjoy the event once a year.
Lawnmower (割草机) racing
This annual sport now has its own governing body—the British Lawn Mower Racing Association (BLRA). It has a 30-race championship that runs from May to October. Most races are part of larger rural events, such as the Cranleigh Show in Surrey, where viewers can experience other events. The BLRA remains un-commercial and donates all profits to organizations that help people who are poor, sick, or in difficulties.
Wife carrying
Every year a small town of Sonkajaervi in Finland hosts the event: the International Wife Carrying Championships. During this competition, husbands have to carry their wives along the track which is 250 m long and features several barriers on land and a 1-m deep water pool. Two couples start at the same time and run as fast as they can. The winning couple is the one that completes the course in the shortest time.

From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming, the wind picking up and the sky darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool is closing immediately, asking everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.
All the swimmers had left by 3 :30 except Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack. Zack's mother had planned to pick him up after work, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided to drop Zack off on her way home, She taped a note for Ms Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.
The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. Jessica said, “Zack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine." She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces. Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.
Remembering everything she could from her emergency training, Jessica took Zack to the completely dark basement. Jessica held Zack's trembling hand tightly. Feeling their way with great caution, they sat down in a corner finally. Outside, the lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and the furious wind howled, which threatened to put the world to an end. Feeling overwhelmingly scared, little Zack burst into tears, saying, “I miss my mom." Jessica held him in her arms, saying, “Honey, don't be afraid! Everything will be all right.”
After a final crash, the sound of the storm grew distant. Jessica sighing with relief, the pair hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

Instead of corona virus, the hunger will kill us.’ A global food crisis appears.
In the largest slum(贫民窟) in Kenya’s capital, people desperate to eat cause chaos during a recent giveaway of flour and cooking oil, leaving scores injured and two people dead.
In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger away.
The corona virus pandemic has brought hunger to millions of people around the world. An estimated 265 million people could be pushed to the edge of starvation by year’s end. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program, a U.N. agency. “It wasn’t a pretty picture to begin with, and this makes it probably worse.”
The world has experienced severe hunger crises before, but those were regional and caused by one factor or another — extreme weather, economic downturns, wars or political instability. This hunger crisis, experts say, is global and caused by a variety of factors linked to the corona virus pandemic and the following interruption of the economic order.
There is no shortage of food globally, or mass starvation from the pandemic — yet. But problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave poor countries exposed in the coming months, especially those dependent on imports, said Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington.
To lessen the impact of this crisis, some governments are fixing prices on food items, delivering free food and carrying out plans to send money transfers to the poorest households. Yet, communities across the world are also taking matters into their own hands. Some are raising money through crowdfunding platforms, while others have begun programs to purchase meals for needy families.
8、What can we know from the scenes of people getting food in Kenya and India?
A. Food shortage is becoming increasingly severe.
B. People in Kenya and India are rude and mean.
C. Food shortage causes people to go on strike.
D. People are afraid of being infected by corona virus.
9、What is Arif Husain’s attitude to the starvation caused recently?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Pessimistic.
10、Why is this hunger crisis different from the previous hunger crises?
A. It is global and caused by various factors.
B. It has caused mass starvation regionally.
C. It is caused by natural disasters.
D. It is caused by the economic disorder.
11、Which of the following measures is taken by the governments for this hunger crisis?
A. Raising money. B. Buying meals.
C. Giving out free food. D. Setting prices on goods.
    An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks(电影配音) and musical accompaniments.
    The noises in the first multimedia books-released in Britain on Friday-include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension.
    Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
    Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
    Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the users reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch(同步), a click on any word will reset it. Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I’m constantly distracted by emails.”
    Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I’m reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what tea cups clinking sounds like. That would irritate(激怒) me.”
12、What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do?
A. Help to release an e-book as a film.
B. Help readers improve reading speed.
C. Add tension at a book’s exciting point.
D. Get readers familiar with the background.
13、Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books?
A. Mr. Darcy B. Caroline Michel C. David Nicholls D. Stuart Mac Bride
14、What do we know about Stuart Mac Bride?
A. He was a person who was easy to get angry
B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture
C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime
D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading
15、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Opinions about e-books with soundtracks
B. Response to the need of the book market
C. Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated
D. Suggestions on encouraging readers’ imagination

37、答案：①with②obviously③which④It⑤to make⑥needs⑦having⑧violence⑨an⑩be dealt
解析：①考查固定短语。句意：越来越多的韩国父母求助于Uncle Service,以确保他们的孩子不必忍受在学校受欺凌。put up with 译为“忍受，忍耐”。是固定短语。故填with。
②考查副词。句意：尽管这样的服务显然非常昂贵。分析句子，根据词性之间的相互修饰。obvious（明显的）改为副词修饰后面的副词very。故填obviously。
③考查定语从句。句意：处理问题更加有效，使业务越来越受欢迎。分析句子，划线部分充当了主语，故该空需填引导词。划线前有逗号，且先行词指代前句的“处理问题更加有效”这件事。在非限制性定从中，先行词指代某件事。故填which。
④考查it作形式主语。句意：据报道，租来的强壮叔叔不仅可以保护孩子免受欺凌，还可以收集欺凌的证据，向学校提出正式投诉。分析句子, it + be + done +that 是固定搭配，是形式主语的结构。故填It。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意：还可以收集欺凌的证据，向学校提出正式投诉。分析句子，除了提示词外已有动词can gather, 所以动词make 需要用非谓语动词。根据句意，此处需用to do 表示目的。故填to make。
⑥考查名词复数。句意:大多数公司提供不同的套餐,以满足客户的需要。分析句子，customers’译为“顾客的”可以修饰名词构成所属关系。此处的need作为名词译为“需求”，要用名词的复数形式。故填needs。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：一些家长认为不用等待很长时间的调查就能解决问题。分析句子， without 为介词，后面加doing的形式。故填having。
⑧考查名词。句意：另一些人持相反的观点，认为这是暴力的另一种形式。分析句子，依据所属关系，of 前后都用名词表示所属关系。故需将violent改为名词和form构成所属关系。故填violence。
⑨考查冠词。句意：一些专家认为，父母自己解决问题不是一个有效的方法。分析句子，划线后的way译为“方法，方式”是可数名词，要体现名词的单复数。此处需要体现单数，又因way被effective修饰，effective以元音因素开头。故填an。
⑩考查语态。句意：学校欺凌问题需要通过改进制度来解决。分析句意，need to be done 需要做某事，故需用不定式的被动。故填 be dealt。
38、答案：relevant
解析：考查形容词。句意：我们正在努力使政治更适合年轻人。根据中文提示“相关”以及上文的more可知，此处填形容词relevant作宾语补足语。故填relevant。
39、答案：participating
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：无法评估有多少警官喜欢参加各种各样的志愿活动。根据中文提示“参与”以及上文enjoy可知，此处需填participating。enjoy doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”。故填participating。
40、答案：reflected
解析：考查非谓语。句意：她能清楚地看到自己映在他的眼睛里。根据中文提示“映射，反射”可知，此处填reflect。分析句子可知，此处考查see+名词/代词+非谓语， herself 与reflect为被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填reflected。
41、答案：abandoned
解析：考查被动语态。句意：由于缺乏政府资助，这个项目不得不放弃。“放弃”是abandon，项目是被放弃，句子用被动语态，空格前有be，因此空格处用过去分词，故填abandoned。
42、答案：sympathy
解析：考查名词。句意：别把你的同情浪费在他身上，他罪有应得。your后跟名词，“同情心”的名词是sympathy，是不可数名词，故填sympathy。
43、答案：declare
解析：考查动词。句意：律师们相信法官们会宣布史蒂文斯无罪。will是情态动词，其后跟动词原形，“宣告”的动词是declare。故填declare。
44、答案：resigned
解析：考查动词时态。句意：当被问及此事时，他说他辞职的主要原因是媒体的报道。根据中文提示“辞职”以及上文had可知，此处填resign过去分词resigned构成过去完成时。故填resigned。
45、答案：beneficial
解析：考查形容词。句意：新颁布的规定对低收入人群是有利的。空格处用形容词作表语，“有益的”的形容词是beneficial，故填beneficial。
46、答案：dragged
解析：考查时态语态。句意：孩子被拖走了，又踢又叫。 根据句意和汉语提示应填动词drag“拖，拽”作谓语，用主语child是被动关系，用被动语态，空格前有was，用一般过去时的被动语态。故填dragged。
47、答案：arrangements
解析：考查名词。句意：您先告诉我们您的意向，然后我们会根据您的需求安排您的课程。根据中文提示“安排”以及上文make可知，此处考查短语make arrangements for，意为“安排”。故填arrangements。

After school, I was about to enter my apartment I saw a little dirty dog lying beside the dustbin. He looked extremely weak. the homeless dog filled me with mercy. So I decided to take him home. I gave him some food and bath. After the bath he looked and refreshed. What a lovely dog!
When my parents got home, I asked I could keep the dog. To my and joy, they agreed. Up to now, he has become a member of our family and everyone enjoyed his company. at the cute and happy dog today, I realize that I was right to help him. We offered him a shelter and he has brought great happiness and laughter.
解析：（1）enter为及物动词，后接宾语不需要介词。故把into去掉。
（2）常用句型be about to do when...固定搭配，“就要做某事时，突然......”。 故把then改为when。
（3）根据语境，流浪狗看上去极其虚弱，这立刻让作者充满了同情。修饰动词filled需用副词。故把Immediate改为Immediately。
（4）固定短语give sb. a bath“给某人洗澡”。故在bath前加a。
（5）句意：洗过澡，他看上去有了精气神。look为系动词“看上去”，后用形容词作表语描述主语的状态。故把energy改为energetic。
（6）句意：当父母到家时，我问我自己是否能养那条狗。由句意可知，宾语从句需用whether/if引导，表示“是否”。故把that改为whether/if。
（7）to one's +名词为固定用法，意思是“令人......的是”。故把surprised改为surprise。
（8）句意：到现在为止，他已经是我们家的一员了，并且每个人都喜欢和他在一起。本句and并列两中个时态一致的分句，且不定代词everyone做主语时谓语动词需用第三人称单数。故把had改为has。
（9）句意：看到这个可爱快乐的小狗，我觉得帮助他做对了。考查分词短语做状语，因为和句子主语I之间是主谓关系，需用现在分词做状语。故把Looked改为Looking。
（10）句意：我们给他一个家，他带给我们快乐和笑声。故把ourselves改为us。
