In spring 2020, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) produced a new play Dream based on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This experimental production created a 3D digital image that was projected above the stage.
The performance used the latest gaming and theatre technology together. Everything was presented in a specially-built studio. The performers brought this new play to life in a digital midsummer forest. The play used virtual reality (VR) technology, focusing on the leading character Puck and the fairies. There were only seven actors, much fewer than in its traditional way of performance. They were surrounded by a 360-degree camera set, made up of 47 cameras. The performers’ every movement was immediately presented digitally, which was shown to audiences online.
Dream gave a unique opportunity for audiences to directly influence the live performance from wherever they were in the world. Audience members at home were able to interact with actors during the 50-minute online production. Up to 2,000 audience members could be chosen to become part of the show and were invited to guide Puck through the forest. On screen, the chosen audiences appeared as fireflies. By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device, they were able to move their firefly across the screen, and Puck was ready to follow their order to go through the virtual space. For audiences who watched at home, the virtual fairies moving through a digital forest looked more like a video game than an average show.
“Without the fireflies, the audiences, Puck wouldn’t be going anywhere,” said E. M. Williams who plays the role. “The audiences are the energy of the show.”
19. How was the play Dream presented?
A. On a traditional studio. B. By using 360 cameras.
C. By forty-seven actors. D. With gaming technology.
20. Which statement is TRUE about the play Dream?
A. The play lasted for less than an hour.
B. Audiences couldn’t interact with the actors.
C. Puck went through the forest without a guide.
D. Fireflies are the leading characters in the play.
21. What do E. M. Williams’ words in the last paragraph show?
A. The audiences were important. B. The show was worth watching.
C. The show was easy to understand. D. The audiences were very pleased.
22. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show how to make a 3D play. B. To introduce the play Dream to us.
C. To advise us to watch the play Dream. D. To raise the ticket price of the play Dream.
【答案】19. D 20. A 21. A 22. B

As a natural resource in the earth, geothermal energy can be one of the renewable energy sources. “Geo” means “Earth” and “thermal” means “heat”, so “geothermal energy” means “heat from the earth”.
For centuries, geothermal springs have been used for bathing and cooking. But only in the early 20th century people have started to consider geothermal as a practical source of energy. Today it is used to produce electricity, to heat and cool buildings, as well as for other industrial purposes like fruit and vegetable growth.
The earth takes in solar energy. Geothermal energy becomes available when underground heat is moved by water that is heated when it passes through hot rocks, usually hundreds or thousands of feet deep. Most times, the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat slowly comes out as forms of hot water and steam.
Inside the earth, the temperature gets about 3 degrees higher as it gets 100 meters deeper. Water passing through hot rocks in the temperatures between 80℃ and 180℃ is able to produce enough heat to warm humans’ living space Iceland, a cold country heats 90%of the houses and buildings of its 320,000 people by using geothermal energy. Geothermal energy resources are widely discovered in China, making the country among the richest in geothermal energy in the world, and its highest geothermal power station in southwest China’s Tibet has been put into operation in 2018. In fact, the usable geothermal resources are found throughout the world and are used nowadays in 83 countries.
Compared with wind and solar energy, geothermal energy cannot be affected by changes in the weather and seasons. We can always get energy from geothermal sources.
But like most other energy sources, geothermal energy also has a defect—it may present environmental problems. The surface of the ground may drop if hot groundwater is taken out without being replaced. In addition, the heated water can contain harmful materials. Apart from that, drilling far enough to make more energy sources costs lots of money.
Although geothermal energy leads to new possibilities, its contribution to the world’s energy future is still too early to tell.
23. Geothermal energy is ______.
A. a new invention B. deep in the earth
C. affected by weather D. a man-made energy
24. What can we know about the geothermal energy from the passage?
A. Iceland has got the most geothermal energy resources.
B. China started to explore the geothermal energy in 2018.
C. Geothermal energy appears as the form of steam or water.
D. We can only use water at the temperatures above 180℃.
25. What does the underlined word “defect” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Benefit. B. Achievement. C. System. D. Disadvantage.
26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Geothermal Energy: A Choice for Future Energy
B. Geothermal Energy: A Clean Energy to Be Explored
C. Geothermal Energy: A Resource for A Greener World
D. Geothermal Energy: A Tool for Heating and Cooling System
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. D 26. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据“Most times, the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat slowly comes out as forms of hot water and steam.”可知，大多数时候，岩石上有很多洞，地热能以热水和蒸汽的形式慢慢释放出来。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“But like most other energy sources, geothermal energy also has a defect—it may present environmental problems.”可知，但与大多数其他能源一样，地热能也有一个缺陷——它可能会带来环境问题。因此，defect与disadvantage同义。故选D。
【26题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Although geothermal energy leads to new possibilities, its contribution to the world’s energy future is still too early to tell.”可知，尽管地热能带来了新的可能性，但它对世界能源未来的贡献还为时过早。这篇文章主要介绍了地热能这种新能源。选项A“地热能：未来能源的一种选择”作为标题最为合适。故选A。
D
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been alone for 19 years after my father’s death, but my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her few times. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
“______” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who thinks that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,” I answered “Just the two of us.”
She thought about it for a moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seem to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled* her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary*. I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”
We went to a nice and comfortable restaurant. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an enjoyable conversation. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received a note with a restaurant receipt* from the same place mother and I had dined. The note said:
“I have paid this bill. I wasn’t sure that I could be there. I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. Nothing in life is more important than the family. I love you, son.”
That day, I came back home early with a bunch of flowers for my wife and said “I LOVE YOU!”. Later that night, crept into my kids’ bedrooms and kissed them.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要向我们讲述了狐狸吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸的故事。
【46题详解】
句意：一天，一只狐狸在穿过树林时，看到一些美味的葡萄挂在他头顶上的一根树枝上。空处是谓语动词，且所在句是while引导的时间状语从句，时态用进行时，根据主句谓语动词saw“看见”可知，主句是一般过去时，从句应为过去进行时，结构为was/were doing，且主语是he，be动词用was。故填was walking。
【47题详解】
句意：他非常饥饿。空前是be动词was，空处应用形容词作表语，名词hunger“饥饿”应变形为形容词hungry“饥饿的”。故填hungry。
【48题详解】
句意：但是每跳一次，他离葡萄都有几英尺远。空前是副词away“在……处”，空后是名词the grapes“葡萄”，此处考查介词短语away from“远离”，空处应是介词from“离”。故填from。
【49题详解】
句意：当他再次跳起来，他变得更加远了。空前是动词getting“变得”，是系动词，后接形容词，且空前有程度副词much“……得多”，后接形容词比较级形式，空处应用far“远的”的比较级形式farther“更远的”。故填farther。
【50题详解】
句意：他试着后退几步，在短暂休息后，跳着葡萄——但他还是够不到葡萄。空后是名词短语short rest“短暂的休息”，且rest为可数名词，此处表示泛指，short为辅音因素开头，用不定冠词a“一”。故填a。
【51题详解】
句意：他甚至试图爬上树去摘葡萄，但他没能把自己拉起来。空前是动词failed“失败”，考查动词短语fail to do sth.=fail doing sth.“没能做到某事”，空处应用不定式结构to pull“拉”或动名词结构pulling“拉”，作宾语。故填to pull/pulling。
【52题详解】
句意：他生气地坐着看葡萄。根据“He sat and looked at the grapes...”可知，空处应用副词修饰动词sat and looked，作状语，形容词angry“生气的”应变形为副词angrily“生气地”。故填angrily。
【53题详解】
句意：反正我不想要那些可能味道都不好的葡萄。根据“I don’t want those grapes... probably don’t taste good anyway.”可知，空处应是关系词引导限制性定语从句，且先行词为those grapes“那些葡萄”，是名词，且在从句中作主语，关系词应用which/that。故填which/that。
【54题详解】
句意：说完，他又试了一次，然后就离开了。根据“And with that, he tried once more and...”可知，本句是表示的是发生在过去的动作，用一般过去时，空处是谓语动词，and前后谓语动词并列，时态一致，空处用过去式left“离开”。故填left。
【55题详解】
句意：狐狸似乎觉得葡萄一定不好，只是因为他不能吃葡萄。根据“It seemed that the fox decided that the grapes must be bad just... he couldn’t have them.”可知，狐狸吃不到葡萄，所以才说葡萄不好吃，是因果关系，主句是果，从句是因，空处用连词because“因为”引导原因状语从句。故填because。

In spring 2020, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) produced a new play Dream based on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This experimental production created a 3D digital image that was projected above the stage.
The performance used the latest gaming and theatre technology together. Everything was presented in a specially-built studio. The performers brought this new play to life in a digital midsummer forest. The play used virtual reality (VR) technology, focusing on the leading character Puck and the fairies. There were only seven actors, much fewer than in its traditional way of performance. They were surrounded by a 360-degree camera set, made up of 47 cameras. The performers’ every movement was immediately presented digitally, which was shown to audiences online.
Dream gave a unique opportunity for audiences to directly influence the live performance from wherever they were in the world. Audience members at home were able to interact with actors during the 50-minute online production. Up to 2,000 audience members could be chosen to become part of the show and were invited to guide Puck through the forest. On screen, the chosen audiences appeared as fireflies. By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device, they were able to move their firefly across the screen, and Puck was ready to follow their order to go through the virtual space. For audiences who watched at home, the virtual fairies moving through a digital forest looked more like a video game than an average show.
“Without the fireflies, the audiences, Puck wouldn’t be going anywhere,” said E. M. Williams who plays the role. “The audiences are the energy of the show.”
19. How was the play Dream presented?
A. On a traditional studio. B. By using 360 cameras.
C. By forty-seven actors. D. With gaming technology.
20. Which statement is TRUE about the play Dream?
A. The play lasted for less than an hour.
B. Audiences couldn’t interact with the actors.
C. Puck went through the forest without a guide.
D. Fireflies are the leading characters in the play.
21. What do E. M. Williams’ words in the last paragraph show?
A. The audiences were important. B. The show was worth watching.
C. The show was easy to understand. D. The audiences were very pleased.
22. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show how to make a 3D play. B. To introduce the play Dream to us.
C. To advise us to watch the play Dream. D. To raise the ticket price of the play Dream.
【答案】19. D 20. A 21. A 22. B

As a natural resource in the earth, geothermal energy can be one of the renewable energy sources. “Geo” means “Earth” and “thermal” means “heat”, so “geothermal energy” means “heat from the earth”.
For centuries, geothermal springs have been used for bathing and cooking. But only in the early 20th century people have started to consider geothermal as a practical source of energy. Today it is used to produce electricity, to heat and cool buildings, as well as for other industrial purposes like fruit and vegetable growth.
The earth takes in solar energy. Geothermal energy becomes available when underground heat is moved by water that is heated when it passes through hot rocks, usually hundreds or thousands of feet deep. Most times, the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat slowly comes out as forms of hot water and steam.
Inside the earth, the temperature gets about 3 degrees higher as it gets 100 meters deeper. Water passing through hot rocks in the temperatures between 80℃ and 180℃ is able to produce enough heat to warm humans’ living space Iceland, a cold country heats 90%of the houses and buildings of its 320,000 people by using geothermal energy. Geothermal energy resources are widely discovered in China, making the country among the richest in geothermal energy in the world, and its highest geothermal power station in southwest China’s Tibet has been put into operation in 2018. In fact, the usable geothermal resources are found throughout the world and are used nowadays in 83 countries.
Compared with wind and solar energy, geothermal energy cannot be affected by changes in the weather and seasons. We can always get energy from geothermal sources.
But like most other energy sources, geothermal energy also has a defect—it may present environmental problems. The surface of the ground may drop if hot groundwater is taken out without being replaced. In addition, the heated water can contain harmful materials. Apart from that, drilling far enough to make more energy sources costs lots of money.
Although geothermal energy leads to new possibilities, its contribution to the world’s energy future is still too early to tell.
23. Geothermal energy is ______.
A. a new invention B. deep in the earth
C. affected by weather D. a man-made energy
24. What can we know about the geothermal energy from the passage?
A. Iceland has got the most geothermal energy resources.
B. China started to explore the geothermal energy in 2018.
C. Geothermal energy appears as the form of steam or water.
D. We can only use water at the temperatures above 180℃.
25. What does the underlined word “defect” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Benefit. B. Achievement. C. System. D. Disadvantage.
26. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Geothermal Energy: A Choice for Future Energy
B. Geothermal Energy: A Clean Energy to Be Explored
C. Geothermal Energy: A Resource for A Greener World
D. Geothermal Energy: A Tool for Heating and Cooling System
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. D 26. A
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据“But like most other energy sources, geothermal energy also has a defect—it may present environmental problems.”可知，但与大多数其他能源一样，地热能也有一个缺陷——它可能会带来环境问题。因此，defect与disadvantage同义。故选D。
【26题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Although geothermal energy leads to new possibilities, its contribution to the world’s energy future is still too early to tell.”可知，尽管地热能带来了新的可能性，但它对世界能源未来的贡献还为时过早。这篇文章主要介绍了地热能这种新能源。选项A“地热能：未来能源的一种选择”作为标题最为合适。故选A。

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been alone for 19 years after my father’s death, but my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her few times. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
“______” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who thinks that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,” I answered “Just the two of us.”
She thought about it for a moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seem to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled* her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary*. I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”
We went to a nice and comfortable restaurant. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an enjoyable conversation. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received a note with a restaurant receipt* from the same place mother and I had dined. The note said:
“I have paid this bill. I wasn’t sure that I could be there. I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. Nothing in life is more important than the family. I love you, son.”
That day, I came back home early with a bunch of flowers for my wife and said “I LOVE YOU!”. Later that night, crept into my kids’ bedrooms and kissed them.
27. Why did the writer only visit his mother few times?
A. His wife didn’t want him to. B. They had a bad relationship.
C. He was busy with his work and kids. D. He lived far away from his mother.
28. Which sentence can be put into “______” in Paragraph 2?
A. Are you going to visit me? B. What’s wrong, are you well?
C. Shall we have dinner together? D. Isn’t it a good idea to stay at home?

A. the mother wondered if she had free time
B. the mother wanted her son not to invite her
C. the mother would like to pay the bill on her own
D. the mother didn’t want to go for a dinner that time
30. Why did the writer buy flowers for his wife and kiss his son that day? (about 40 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. C
30. Because after the writer read his mother’s words in the note, he realized the importance to stay with his family and to say “I love you”. His mum died so suddenly that he had no time to express love to his mum, but he still had his own family that needed his love.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要向我们讲述了狐狸吃不到葡萄说葡萄酸的故事。
【46题详解】
句意：一天，一只狐狸在穿过树林时，看到一些美味的葡萄挂在他头顶上的一根树枝上。空处是谓语动词，且所在句是while引导的时间状语从句，时态用进行时，根据主句谓语动词saw“看见”可知，主句是一般过去时，从句应为过去进行时，结构为was/were doing，且主语是he，be动词用was。故填was walking。
【47题详解】
句意：他非常饥饿。空前是be动词was，空处应用形容词作表语，名词hunger“饥饿”应变形为形容词hungry“饥饿的”。故填hungry。
【48题详解】
句意：但是每跳一次，他离葡萄都有几英尺远。空前是副词away“在……处”，空后是名词the grapes“葡萄”，此处考查介词短语away from“远离”，空处应是介词from“离”。故填from。
【49题详解】
句意：当他再次跳起来，他变得更加远了。空前是动词getting“变得”，是系动词，后接形容词，且空前有程度副词much“……得多”，后接形容词比较级形式，空处应用far“远的”的比较级形式farther“更远的”。故填farther。
【50题详解】
句意：他试着后退几步，在短暂休息后，跳着葡萄——但他还是够不到葡萄。空后是名词短语short rest“短暂的休息”，且rest为可数名词，此处表示泛指，short为辅音因素开头，用不定冠词a“一”。故填a。
【51题详解】
句意：他甚至试图爬上树去摘葡萄，但他没能把自己拉起来。空前是动词failed“失败”，考查动词短语fail to do sth.=fail doing sth.“没能做到某事”，空处应用不定式结构to pull“拉”或动名词结构pulling“拉”，作宾语。故填to pull/pulling。
【52题详解】
句意：他生气地坐着看葡萄。根据“He sat and looked at the grapes...”可知，空处应用副词修饰动词sat and looked，作状语，形容词angry“生气的”应变形为副词angrily“生气地”。故填angrily。
【53题详解】
句意：反正我不想要那些可能味道都不好的葡萄。根据“I don’t want those grapes... probably don’t taste good anyway.”可知，空处应是关系词引导限制性定语从句，且先行词为those grapes“那些葡萄”，是名词，且在从句中作主语，关系词应用which/that。故填which/that。
【54题详解】
句意：说完，他又试了一次，然后就离开了。根据“And with that, he tried once more and...”可知，本句是表示的是发生在过去的动作，用一般过去时，空处是谓语动词，and前后谓语动词并列，时态一致，空处用过去式left“离开”。故填left。
【55题详解】
句意：狐狸似乎觉得葡萄一定不好，只是因为他不能吃葡萄。根据“It seemed that the fox decided that the grapes must be bad just... he couldn’t have them.”可知，狐狸吃不到葡萄，所以才说葡萄不好吃，是因果关系，主句是果，从句是因，空处用连词because“因为”引导原因状语从句。故填because。

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Recently, our class has taken a survey on “Students’ Preferences on Labour Course”. The result is as follows. Nearly half of the students prefer cooking and more than 20% of them like gardening in labour classes. Meanwhile, the numbers of the students who choose handicraft is about 18%. While few students want to learn how to do cleaning.
As for me I would like to learn to make handcrafts. For one thing, it is necessary for us to know some basic life skills, especially sewing clothes. For another, I can also pass on some Chinese traditions like paper-cutting, which develops my art skills as well.
In short, I do hope our school can provide colourful labour courses so that we can improve ourselves in different ways.
