Having just finished high school, I wasn't sure what I wanted to study in higher education, so I decided to take a gap year to figure that out.
One of my biggest passions has always been Africa and I have always wanted to do some kind of volunteering. However, I was afraid that, especially when it comes to volunteering in research, I wouldn’t be able to go into much depth with the research I would be doing. I needn’t have worried about this internship（实习期）though. It has been perfect for me because not only am I doing the same activities as all the other volunteers but I also get to do my own research in addition to those activities.
The internship program I am following focuses on big predators(食肉动物). I have decided to focus on cheetahs（猎豹）for my individual project, collecting data on the two cheetahs that live in Rietspruit, one of the reserves that African Impact does research in. With both cheetahs having only been reintroduced into the area this year, there is still a lot of data that can be collected on the pair. Large predator reintroduction is a common strategy used to return these animals to their historic range. The problem is that the success rates of these reintroductions are very low, mainly because of lack in research done on how different factors influence the reintroduction.
Both cheetahs are wearing a GPS-collar from which I can download a lot of information including where the cheetah has been, what the weather was like and how far the cheetah travelled. Having organized and categorized the information, I have been able to create some very interesting graphs.
Even though it is quite difficult since I’ve never done any research like this, I really enjoy all the challenges and problems I have had to face and solve. And I’m glad that I can do something to help wildlife.
24. Why did the author take a gap year after high school?
A. He was asked to do some voluntary work.
B. He didn’t think he was quite ready yet.
C. He wanted to do some travelling in Africa.
D. He didn’t really like receiving higher education.
25. What did the author realize after joining the internship program?
A. It was what he had expected.
B. It separated him from others.
C. It was too challenging for him.
D. It was really suitable for him.
26. The author’s work mainly involves ___________.
A. collecting information about two cheetahs
B. observing two cheetahs in the wild secretly
C. walking around Rietspruit to serve scientists
D. collecting data on some different big predators
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. My experience on the predator research internship
B. My experience of rescuing wildlife in Africa
C. My experience of receiving higher education
D. My experience of protecting cheetahs
C
When you start working on something but don’t finish it, thoughts of the unfinished work continue to jump into your mind even when you’ve moved on to other things. Psychologists refer to this psychological phenomenon as the Zeigarnik effect. The effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she noted the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering the exact details of the orders.
In one of her studies, participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigarnik asked the participants to give an account of what they’d been working on. She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks.
We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if you’re struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might actually work to your advantage. Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While you’re focusing on other things, you’ll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying.
We often put off tasks until the last moment, only completing them in a rush at the last possible moment. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigarnik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once you’ve begun，but not finished your work, you’ll find yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal.
28. What does the Zeigarnik effect refer to ?
A. Waiters tend to have good memories.
B. Once interrupted, one will forget things easily.
C. Most people can’t focus on one thing for a long time.
D. People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones.
29. What were all the participants required to do in the study?
A. Describe their tasks. B. Express their feelings.
C. Test their intelligence. D. Design simple activities.
30. How should we study according to the Zeigarnik effect?
A. Repeat over and over again. B. Divide up our study session.
C. Focus on several tasks at a time. D. Have enough rest before studying.
31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. How to get rid of heavy stress.
B. Why we should set a final goal.
C. How to break the habit of delaying work.
D. Why we always complete tasks in a rush.
D
We’ve certainly seen a dog nursing a wound, or a deer calling out in pain. But many animals suffer in silence. The most silent sufferers in the animal world may be fish.
Do fish feel pain? A new study from the University of Liverpool has found that fish feel pain in a way that’s “strikingly similar” to humans. For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the university’s Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research-98 studies in all-and concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do.
“When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided. In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when they’re hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches.” Sneddon notes in a university release.
To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors, which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged. Humans have them throughout their skin, bones and muscles. Nociceptors have also been found in many other species, including even those tiny fruit flies. Fish have the same means to detect pain signals and the equipment to receive them.
Besides, the fishermen’s opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn’t add up from an evolutionary view. Pain is an efficient messenger that tells us that we’ve got a problem. An animal that can’t feel it won’t get that memo(备忘录), even if it hurts itself.
“If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them,” Sneddon says. “Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging their sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed.”
32. What can we learn about fish?
A. They are insensitive to pain. B. They are able to sense pain.
C. They won’t react to painkillers. D. Their brain is the first to send pain signals.
33. What will a fish do when its lips get hurt?
A. It might rub its lips. B. It will keep its mouth open.
C. It will swim around like crazy. D. It will keep eating to forget pain.
34. What is the significance of the study according to Sneddon?
A. People will treat fish in a kinder way.
B. People can understand evolution better.
C. People can develop more drugs to save fish.
D. People will think of more ways to catch fish.
35. What does the underlined part “add up” probably mean?
A. Disappear B. Put forward C. Make sense D. Happen
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Walking with a purpose
Humans were made for walking. With our strong leg muscles, our bodies were literally designed with walking in mind-which is what makes it such perfect exercise.
36 And best of all, it’s a great way to see new things and meet new people!
This month, why not focus on walking with a purpose? Wherever you are, in the city or at the campground, you’ll find plenty of walking going on. Maybe you already love to walk, but you’re getting tired of going your same old route day after day. Or maybe you’re new to walking and aren’t sure how to get started. 37 To get started, sit down with a map and make a plan. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? 38 Get out into the wilderness or explore a city? Knowing your priorities will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do.
If making friends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them. 39 Go online and look up your local mall or shopping center. Many malls have groups that come every day, or every weekend, to “walk the mall”. These groups are always happy to include one more walker!
40 Then tie on your walking shoes and prepare to get to know the place from the ground up! Many of our great historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly any city you can think of offers a walking tour with maps, provided by the tourist bureau. And small towns generally have a scenic route that will carry you past its best boutiques(精品店), shops, and cafes.
A. See new places?
B. Head to a new city.
C. It’s kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines.
D. Everyone loves walking and you’re no exception.
E. Ask your friends where they like to walk and go there.
F. Either way, it’s time to bear-hug the idea of walking with a purpose.
G. Ask local people to get you out of town and into the wilderness or countryside.

M: Yes, I like the style of this scarf. (1) I think it would be suitable for more situations than my old one.
Text 2
W: Let me get you a soft drink. What would you like to have, Coca-Cola, orange juice, or lemon soda?

Text 3
W: Mary says that both sides of the street will be decorated with colored flags and flowers to welcome some famous athletes. Is that true?
M: Yes. (3) This is the first time our city has had so many famous players at the same time.
W: Then we will have a really exciting weekend!
Text 4
W: I am afraid I am a bit seasick. I feel dizzy, just like I felt on my flight to London last month.
M: Close your eyes and relax. You will be all right as soon as we reach the shore. (4)
Text 5
M: The newspaper is full of murder, death and war. Do you still believe people are basically good?
W: Of course. Newspapers hardly ever cover stories about peace. (5) It isn’t news.
Text 6
M: What is our flight number again? (6) I don’t see it on the board.
W: It’s AA791, New York to Mexico City. (6) Maybe we’re too early.
M: I told you we left our house too soon. We could have stopped and gotten something to eat.
W: I didn’t know how long it would take at the drugstore. Besides, there are restaurants here.
M: Well, we might as well find the customer service desk and check that our flight is not delayed. (7)
W: Good idea. (7) Then we have to exchange some money. How long did you say the flight was? M: Around five hours. It’s about the same time it takes to fly from New York to the state of Arizona.
Text 7
M: My watch always gains 10 minutes a day.
W: That’s funny. My watch always loses 10 minutes a day.
M: No kidding!
W: I’m serious. Every morning, I set my watch by the radio, but it still loses 10 minutes.
M: Do you know what you can do? (8)
W: Throw it away and buy a new one? (8)
M: No, you don’t need to. You only need to put your watch 10 minutes ahead every day.
W: Hmm. So, you put your watch 10 minutes behind every day?
M: Yeah. That’s exactly what I do.
W: Why bother? If you just buy a new watch, it won’t cost much. (8)
M: Oh, no way. This was a birthday gift from my grandma. (9) She passed away last year, and all I have to remember her by is this watch. It’s very valuable to me.
W: Well, I can definitely understand your situation. But I just can’t put up with mine anymore---(8)

W: Bill will graduate from high school soon. What do you think he is going to do?
M: I think he should go to college. But I haven’t decided where he should go yet. In my opinion, I want him to go to a small university, where the classes wouldn’t be so large.
W: I think he ought to go to a public school where the students are more serious about studying.
M: Yes, I agree with you. And I suggest that he go to college in another state, (10) where he can gain some knowledge and also broaden his views.
W: But it will be too far for him to come home on weekends. I will only see him during summer and winter vacations. I will miss him. (11)
M: He is old enough to depend on himself. You cannot take care of him forever. It’s time for him to be independent.
W: OK. But the most important thing is where Bill wants to go. (12) What we discussed is just a suggestion. Bill should make the final decision by himself. (12)
M: That’s right. (12) We can talk to him about this after he comes home.
Text 9
W: Lenny, I’m not sure how to say this, but here it goes: I lost your cat this morning.
M: What?!
W: I’m sorry. I don’t know how it happened. She was in her usual place under the bed. When I opened the front door to get the morning paper, I saw her run past me really quickly. (14) I tried to close the door in time, but she must have gotten out.
M: Diane, she’s a house cat. She’s not supposed to go outside, ever! She could get lost and never find her way back. Or worse, she could get hit by a car!
W: I feel like a terrible roommate, Lenny. (13) I wish there were something I could do to fix this.
M: Wait ---You’ve looked everywhere for her?
W: Yes ---under the sofa, in the dirty clothes, behind the bookcase---
M: Did you check back under the bed where she was? (15)
W: Hmm, I guess I didn’t think to look there. I just assumed that she had---
M: Look who I found!
W: Oh, my! I can’t believe it! I thought she had gone out of the front door, but I guess I didn’t actually see her make it outside.
M: Sometimes she starts to head out there, but she changes her mind at the last second. Then she just goes back to her safe place! (15) The outside world can be a scary place for her! (16)
Text 10
Hello, everyone. Thanks for having me here. It’s exciting to be back at the place where my career started. (17) I’m not ashamed to tell you that I worked here as an unpaid student assistant when I was in college. Now I’m the president of a major computer company. How did I get so far? Because of my education and because I never gave up on my dreams. I had little money or education when I came to the United States as a child. I was eight years old, and I barely spoke English. But I loved learning, and I wanted to do something important with my life. I worked hard to learn English. I read as much as I could at school and at home. When I graduated high school at 18, I got a scholarship to university. I decided to study the exciting, growing field of computer technology. In college, I heard about a student assistant position at this computer company. I worked here every summer for no pay. I answered phones, delivered mail, and filed documents. But I watched and learned all I could. After college graduation at age 21, I got a job at another great company. (18) I worked hard and finally became the president at 35 years old. Because I always kept learning and stayed focused on my dreams, I achieved great things. (19) And you can too! ( 第20题为总结题 )

参考范文1
Good morning, everyone,
I feel extremely happy to share with you my feelings after such a long holiday.
We were left locked at home owing to the novel coronavirus. However, facing the upcoming college entrance examination, I had no choice but to study even harder，keeping to the regular schedule at school, listening to online courses and doing endless exercises. During this tough period, I was deeply impressed and moved by the selfless medical fighters, who risked losing their own lives to save the lives of others. Thanks to them, everything returns to normal now. Besides, our teachers’ generous help and painstaking efforts to help us can never be thanked enough.
Time flies! It won’t be long before we say goodbye to our beloved school! Come on, everyone! With the fighters’ spirits and COVID-19 pandemic under control, I’m convinced that all of us can be admitted to our dream universities.

Good morning, everyone,
I feel extremely happy to share with you my feelings after the battle against the novel coronavirus.
Like all of you, I stayed safe inside my home, taking online courses and doing endless
exercises. Facing the upcoming examination, I chose to study even harder rather than kill time. Of course, I felt worried and fearful when it came to the deadly virus. Everyone turns pale at the mention of it. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first. I was deeply impressed by what they did in racing against time. They are heroes in my eyes.
Time flies! It won’t be long before we say goodbye to our beloved school! Best wishes to all of us! I’m convinced that with the fighters’ spirits and COVID-19 pandemic under control, all of us can be admitted to our dream universities.
