It was a stormy evening, and all that Neil could hope was to find a shelter that could keep him protected from the chilly wind and cold rain. After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安的) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out.
“Sir, why don’t you buy a pack of groundnuts(花生) from me?” Neil looked around to see a man in rag standing by his side. “Oh, no, I’m not interested right now.” “Fried groundnuts will do you a world of good now. Moreover, you can also take some for your family.” The very mention of family brought a concern to Neil. His wife had specifically told him to come home early, if not for her sake, at least for the sake of their seven-year-old son.
When he was lost in thought, the groundnut seller had filled a bag with the remaining nuts and offered him an unexpectedly low price. But, Neil refused to buy them: “I do not want to buy anything at this point!” Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, I want some money to buy books for the school.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally drenched from top to bottom, as though he had just run a race. He was talking to the groundnut seller. “Yes, yes, I’m ready to leave now. Come! How many books do you want? Why did you get wet in the rain? Your mother must be getting worried.”
Neil was touched and turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of I know what it is to be a father. The groundnut seller did not say anything and gave the packet of groundnuts without saying a word. Neil pulled a note from his wallet, placed it in the man’s hand, and walked away without waiting for the change.
4. Why did Neil become more anxious at the bus stop?
A. He thought of his boring and heavy work.
B. The chilly wind made him feel colder and colder.
C. The rain stopped him from getting home on time.
D. He couldn’t find a good place to keep off the rain.
5. Why didn’t Neil buy the man’s groundnuts at first?
A. He didn’t have enough money on him.
B. His family doesn’t like groundnuts.
C. His family was a little poor.
D. He was in a bad mood at that time.
6. What does the underlined word “drenched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Wet through. B. Very excited. C. Well dressed. D. Sweat heavily.
7. What made Neil buy all the seller’s groundnuts?
A. The seller’s generous action.
B. His having a pity for the seller.
C. The seller’s greatness as a father.
D. His being moved by the seller’s son.

【答案】4-7 CDAC
【解析】
4.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Neil was becoming increasingly agitated with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out.”可知，Neil变得越发焦虑是因为下大雨使他不能按时回家与家人团聚。故选C。
5.推理判断题。Neil本来打算早点回家和家人团聚，但是大雨使他不能按时回家，因此他感到非常郁闷，因此他没有心情买花生。故选D。
6.词义猜测题。根据其前后文可知Neil突然看到一个十来岁的男孩出现，好像是跑过来的，再根据 “Why did you get wet in the rain?”可猜测，小男孩全身上下都湿透了。drenched此处意为：湿透了。故选A。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Neil被花生小贩同为父亲的责任感所感动，因此决定买下所有花生。故选C。

C
On a sunny but bitterly cold February day a line of small children snaked their way from Dale to Dale Fort on the Haverfordwest estuary. They were the last of more than 2,000 volunteers who over the last year have collected, stored and put seagrass seeds into little bags, ready for planting. These seagrass seeds were soon to join others on the seafloor a few hundred metres off-shore from Dale to recover two hectares of seagrass meadow(草甸). This recovery is the latest attempt to change a century of destruction.
In the UK we can only estimate the loss but in Denmark, seagrass records dating back to the 1880s give a very serious and accurate picture. At the turn of the last century fishing was vital to the Danish economy. It was known then that seagrass meadows were a vital habitat for young sea fish and so in 1908 botanist Carl Ostenfeld was asked to study the seagrasses then found in all the estuaries and entrance of Denmark. That study provided a clear standard against which to measure the loss of seagrass in Denmark, a loss that currently stands at 95 percent.
Why does this matter? Seagrass not only provide a nurturing habitat for fish but also stabilises the shore and absorbs energy, reducing the impact of storms. Boat anchors(船锚) are one cause of damage to seagrass; seashore development another. But the main cause is river water pollution, particularly nutrients from fertiliser and dirty water. These excess nutrients cause algal(藻类) growth that blankets the seagrass, cutting out light, and then later, when it dies off and rots, removes all oxygen.
One of the important messages is, if you stop killing sea life and protect it, then it does come back. We can turn the oceans around and we know it makes sense economically, for human health and, of course, for the environment.
8. What did the kids do in Dale over the last year?
A. Have an interesting trip. B. Gather seagrass seeds.
C. Protect seagrass from snakes. D. Make an important study.
9. What can we know about Carl Ostenfeld’s study?
A. It was carried out in the UK and Denmark.
B. It contributed to Danish economy greatly.
C. It showed the loss of seagrass in Denmark.
D. It made some practical measures for Denmark.
10. Which of the following affects seagrass most seriously?
A. Boat anchors. B. Seashore development.
C. Air pollution. D. Algal growth.
11. What is the purpose of the text??
A. To show recovering seagrass is beneficial.
B. To ask people to plant much seagrass.
C. To present the dangers to seagrass.
D. To persuade people to catch fewer sea fish.

【答案】8-11 BCDA
【解析】
8.细节理解题。文章第一段提到这些小孩收集、储存并将海草种子放入小袋中准备用于种植，其目的是恢复海草草甸，故选B。
9.细节理解题。文章第二段提到Carl Ostenfeld的研究为衡量丹麦海草的损失提供了一个明确的标准，目前的损失率为95%，故选C。
10.细节理解题。文章第三段提到影响海草的的主要原因是河水污染，特别是来自化肥和污水的营养物质。这些过量的营养物质会导致海藻生长，覆盖海草，阻挡光线，然后，当海藻死亡腐烂时，会带走所有的氧气。故选D。
11.推理判断题。文章提到海草遭到很大损失，然后围绕海草的重要性和海草的保护展开话题，故选A。

D
The UK government has a plan to reduce waste that shifts the responsibility for disposal(处置) from the state to the companies that make it.
The legislation requires waste producers to pay into the system themselves or through their suppliers that is what the government termed, a “polluter pays’’ principal. Businesses will have to change their waste processing before the tax comes into play. This is similar to the anti-waste legislation passed in France in February 2020 that prohibits the destruction(销毁) of unsold clothing, cosmetics, hygiene products and electrical products. Companies will have to reuse, or recycle the items.
Dealing with waste is a global problem and we must deal with the over 2 billion metric tons of solid waste generated every year. The World Bank estimates that overall waste will increase to 3.4 billion tons if nothing is done to change the situation.
The demand for legislation like the tough attitude the UK is taking has been increasing according to Positive News. And it is not just environmental groups calling for the changes. This is a consumer driven movement and people are willing to pay more for sustainable brands. Josh Bowden, co-founder of Noissue told Positive News.
What is absolutely certain is that local governments will save a lot of money as the responsibility shifts to the polluters. That could be better invested in things like social care or parks or libraries.” Other countries have made great progress in reducing waste. Sweden’s recycling program is so efficient that the country is running out of trash. The recycling rate is almost 99 percent and they are rapidly approaching zero waste. Today, large companies are greening their brands and moving to sustainable packaging including Colgate, Waitrose, Nestlé, and Unilever which now has recyclable black packaging. The government of the UK hopes that other companies will follow their example. A partnership between government legislation and private companies will go a long way to reducing the tons of waste going into our environment every year. Laws like the ones in the UK and France can be implemented around the world.
12. Who will pay for the costs dealing with UK’s waste in the future?
A. The UK government. B. The World Bank.
C. The companies. D. The customers.
13. How should French shops deal with unsold goods?
A. By destroying them. B. By throwing them away.
C. By donating them to poor people. D. By reusing them.
14. What does The World Bank think of world waste disposal problem?
A. Serious. B. Optimistic. C. Uncontrolled. D. Hopeful.
15. What can we infer for the last paragraph?
A. Local governments will spend more money controlling pollution.
B. Sweden has done a good job in dealing with waste.
C. Almost all companies are willing to reduce the waste.
D. Laws controlling waste in the UK and France is complete.
【答案】12-15 CDAB
【解析】
12.细节理解题。第一段和第二段第一句提到英国政府将垃圾处理的责任转移到垃圾生产企业，故选C。
13.推理判断题。文章第二段提到法国法律禁止销毁未售出的服装、化妆品、卫生产品和电器产品，这样公司将不得不重新使用、回收或分配这些物品，故选D。
14.推理判断题。文章第三段提到废物处理是一个全球性的问题，每年要处理超过20亿吨的固体废物，世界银行估计，如果不采取措施改变这种状况，总的废物将增加到34亿吨，由此可以推断世界银行认为垃圾处理问题是严峻的。故选A。
15.推理判断题。文章最后一段提到瑞典的回收计划效率很高，以至于它的垃圾都快用完了。回收率几乎达到99%，而且正在迅速接近零废物，由此推知瑞典的废品回收工作做得很好。故选B。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
Late one afternoon, Raphael Kaplan and his family were out walking near their home in Los Angeles, Calif., the second largest U.S. city. 16
“They were ‘hanging out’” , he says, “just lying down and waiting for us to pass.” 17 The fourth grader says he sees coyotes(丛林狼) all the time, often at that golf course. He’s also seen them walking down his street.
Coyotes look like medium-sized dogs or small wolves with short gray and brown fur. 18 They will eat just about anything and can learn to survive in nearly any environment. Before 1700, coyotes only lived in the midwestern and southwestern United States and Mexico, but then people wiped out nearly all of North America’s wolves because they sometimes kill farm animals. This opened up space for coyotes.
19 Some considered them to be pests. During the middle of the 20th century, the U.S. government poisoned around 6.5 million coyotes. Killing them is still legal in most U.S. states. Hunters and trappers kill hundreds of thousands every year.
Encounters with coyotes happen regularly across the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico and parts of Central America. In Chicago, Illinois, for instance, coyotes once lived on the top floor of a parking garage across from Soldier Field, the home stadium of the Chicago Bears football team. In 2015, New York City police officers in trucks, cars and helicopters chased a coyote through Riverside Park in Manhattan. 20 After three hours, they gave up the chase. The coyote had simply hidden itself too well. Occasionally, coyotes may bite or attack people or their pets. However, coyotes mostly avoid people. Raphael is glad he’s gotten to see them so many times. He’s also helped study them.
A. Coyotes are kind and beautiful.
B. People tried to get rid of coyotes, too.
C. But they are a separate species, Canis latrans.
D. Are coyotes moving into your neighborhood?
E. They aimed to move the animal out of the city.
F. This wasn’t an unusual experience for 10-year-old Raphael.
G. He looked through a fence surrounding a golf course and saw two coyotes.

【答案】16-20 GFCBE
【解析】
16.上文的“Raphael Kaplan and his family were out walking”和下一段第一句正好与G项相符合。
17.下一句的“The fourth grader says he sees coyotes(丛林狼) all the time”与该选项一致。
18.“look like medium-sized dogs or small wolves”和C项形成对比关系。
19.这一段主要是说人们对丛林狼的捕杀， B项符合文意。
20.上句的“chased a coyote through Riverside Park in Manhattan.”和下句的“After three hours, they gave up the chase”都说明人们尽力把丛林狼从城市赶走。

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）
第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）
第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We tend to think about success in terms of wealth and accomplishments. That’s a fair measurement, but the problem is that when we addict into the 36 (victory), we tend to overlook the sacrifices required in order to get there. In fact, 37 (neglect) to account for the existing sacrifices is one reason why so many of us have a hard time sticking to 38 (health) habits and following up on goals.
Time is a factor when it comes to making sacrifices. As Warren Buffett famously 39 (say), “It’s the only thing you can’t buy. I mean, I can buy anything I want, basically, but I can’t buy time.” He’s 40 (absolute) right. Should you watch another section of your favorite Netflix show 41 give up TV for two months so you can plant that garden you always dreamed about?
Making the decision isn’t easy, but the good news is 42 we already do this naturally. A 2009 study found that people are “far 43 (little) willing to keep many choices open” when some have bigger rewards than others. If the payoffs are unknown, however, we have a harder time giving them up. That's why doing an activity check is so important. You have to actually take the time 44 (figure) out the opportunity costs, gains of each and what to pursue over the 45 .

【答案】
36. victories 37. neglecting 38. healthy 39. said 40. absolutely
41. or 42. that 43. less 44. to figure 45. other
【解析】
36.考查名词复数。句意：当我们沉迷于渴求胜利之时，往往会忽略要付出相应的牺牲。victory是可数名词，与sacrifices相呼应。故此空应填victories。
37.考查非谓语动词。根据句意和句法分析，“ 57 (neglect) to account for the existing sacrifices”部分是句子的主语，故此空应填动名词neglecting。
38.考查词性转换。根据句意：“坚持健康的习惯和既定的目标”可知，这里要使用形容词来修饰habits，故此空应填healthy。
39.考查动词时态。根据句意：“正如名人Warren Buffett曾说过……”可知，这里要用一般过去时。
40.考查副词。这里要用副词修饰形容词right，故此空应填absolutely。
41.考查连词。根据句意“看看Netflix节目的其他内容或者坚持两个月不看电视，这样你就有时间打理梦想拥有的花园”可知，前后含有选择关系，故此空应填or。
42.考查名词性从句。句意是：做出决策不易，但值得庆幸的是我们已经自然而然这样做了。另外，根据句法分析，“ 62 ”we already do this naturally部分是一个表语从句，而且不含疑问语气，故此空应填that。
43.考查形容词比较级。句意：研究表明，当某些人获得比别人更多的回报时，他们往往更不愿意公开很多选择。根据意思，该处含有比较意味，与bigger相呼应。故此空填less。
44.考查非谓语动词。花时间做某事，用“take time to do something”。故此空应填to figure 。
45.考查代词。句意：你得花时间衡量各个选择的机会成本、收益。与each呼应，故此空应填other。

Someone on internet had shared pictures of her vacation in Europe. The delivery truck had dropped off a huge entertainment system at my neighbor’s house. And the kids came home from school talking about the new video game their friends had just gotten.
However, we were living in a house furnished mostly with old furniture and dressing our kids in secondhand clothes. And even when we and the kids had to go in three different directions at night, we didn’t eat out. Ever.
I like to cook, and I’m good at it. But sometimes, you just want to be spared the trouble and the cleanup! My poor mother-in-law, in town for a visit, got to hear the whole complains that night. “I feel so sorrowful sometimes,” I told her, as we cleared the table after dinner. “I know we’re doing the right thing, living simply, saving money, but it feels so hard. There are so many things I’d like to have, so many things I’d like to do, and we just can’t.”
She nodded as she folded a cloth napkin in silence. Then she turned to me. “You know,” she said, “when you compare yourself to others, it’s easy to focus on what you don’t have. But there’s one thing you two do that we don’t see too much of in other married couples. You two make a priority of going out together and taking time to focus on your marriage. And that’s a very important thing. You two have such a great marriage.”
Eventually, my poor mother-in-law told me, “The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.” I didn’t believe my ear when hearing her meaningful sentences. She didn’t receive any education at all when she was young.

【范文】
Paragraph 1:
I stopped wiping the table and began to look back on my old days. I thought of the movie my husband and I had seen a week earlier, and the English country-dance we’d attended a few weeks before that. I remembered the bike rides and the concerts, the hikes and the picnics. Most of all, I thought of how happy we were together, even after twenty years. How many people can say that?
Paragraph 2:
I looked around my home with new eyes. Our refrigerator is almost too small for a family of six, but it’s always filled with food that is both nourishing and delicious. Our kitchen is too small, but it comes to us from our grandmothers’ homes after they passed away. Even without the big TV in the room, we can sit together after supper, enjoying our favorite programs. In a word, we are happy every day. And you know what? That’s enough.
