第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS
It takes hard work to guarantee your college application stands out. Make it rise to the top of the pile by becoming familiar with the application process and getting organized.
l HOW MANY SCHOOLS TO APPLY TO
There are a ton of schools out there, but applying to too many colleges is a common mistake. Submitting your application to between five and eight colleges is suggested. Of that list, you should include a variety of dream schools, safety schools and possible schools.
l EARLY DECISION AND EARLY ACTION
Early Decision and Early Action are options that allow you to apply to a college early and receive the admissions department's decision in advance of traditional applicants. However, there are also restrictions that are important to understand. Early Decision, for example, is binding; if you submit Early Decision to a college and they accept, you must attend that college. You will also not be able to apply for more financial aid after this point. Early Action, on the other hand, is not binding; you can submit Early Action to a college, get accepted and have until the following spring to decide whether or not you want to attend.
l WRITING A COLLEGE ESSAY
A good college essay is a critical part of the application process. A college essay is really just a way for admissions advisors to get to know you more, hear your perspective and relate to you on a personal level. This is one area you know a lot about, so just remember to infuse as much of “you” as possible into your essay.
l NAILING YOUR COLLEGE INTERVIEW
A college interview is an opportunity for you to make a personal impression on an admissions officer and increase your chances of acceptance into a college. It's a way for you to differentiate yourself from others and show your personality in a way that you can't on a piece of paper. Practice and preparation will help you do well during your college interview.

21. Who is the text intended for?
A. College freshmen. B. Educational institutions.
C. High school students. D. General public.

22. What can you do after the college accepts your Early Decision?
A. Apply for another safety school. B. Apply for more economic support.
C. Start to prepare for your college. D. Start to prepare your college essay.
23. How can you stand out in the application process?
A. By applying to as many colleges as possible.
B. By submitting Early Decision or Early Action.
C. By praising the target colleges in the essay.
D. By showing your personalities in the interview.

B
I suspect that we socialize more during the spring and summer months. Under the warm sun, yards bloom with cold drinks and conversation, barbecues get fired up, and parties quickly spill outside. Shifting these sweet summer parties to ones that are also waste-free can be both simple and inexpensive, with just a few small changes to your habits.
The first step is to keep invitations virtual. Creating a Facebook event or sending a simple email is perfect for inviting guests to your party without generating waste from paper invitations, and if you’re looking for something a bit more formal, sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-invitation a brilliant makeover. Virtual invites also allow you to track RSVPs, communicate with guests, and provide clickable information about your event.
To decorate, make use of the candles, flowers and greenery already in your outdoor space rather than stocking up on store-bought flowers, and consider using decorations that can be reused (like a cloth happy birthday banner, for example) rather than one-time use decorations. Skip the balloons in favour of large tissue paper pom-poms, and offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event rather than just tossing them out.
The most obvious way to cut down on party waste, of course, is by getting rid of disposable plates, cups and things like that. I shouldn’t have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much salad or drip oil through the bottom? Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives? There really isn’t much to be gained from using disposables.
With these shifts and a few other small adjustments here and there – paper straws instead of plastic, a large drink dispenser(饮水器) rather than individual soft drinks or juice boxes – you’ll be set to celebrate all summer long, without suffering the accompanying garbage hangover the next day.

24. What does the underlined word “cheesy” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Free. B. Formal. C. Plain. D. Inviting.
25. What should we do with used decorations in good condition?
A. Donate them. B. Sell them. C. Put them away. D. Throw them away.

26. Why does the writer dislike paper plates?
A. They’re too expensive. B. They’re not practical.
C. They’re not convincing. D. They’re not popular.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to hold a successful garden party. B. Summer garden party habits.
C. How to hold greener summer parties . D. How to entertain your guests.
C
Days after Argentina canceled all international passenger flights to protect the country from the new coronavirus, Juan Manuel Ballestero began his journey home the only way possible: He stepped aboard his small sailboat for an 85-day journey across the Atlantic.
The 47-year-old sailor could have stayed put on the tiny Portuguese island of Porto Santo, to ride out the times of lockdowns and social distancing in a beautiful place largely spared by the virus. But the idea of spending what he thought could be “the end of the world” away from his family, especially his father who was soon to turn 90, was unbearable. “I didn’t want to stay like a coward(懦夫) on an island where there were no cases,” Mr. Ballestero said. “I wanted to do everything possible to return home. The most important thing for me was to be with my family.”
He bought his sailboat in 2017, hoping to take it on a travel around the world. It proved up to the task of sailing across an ocean when the pandemic was spreading across the planet.
“I wasn’t afraid, but I did have a lot of uncertainty,” he said. “It was very strange to sail in the middle of a pandemic with humanity becoming increasingly less valued around me.” Sailing can be a lonely passion, and it was particularly so on this voyage for Mr. Ballestero.
Despite the expansiveness of the ocean, Mr. Ballestero felt he was in a quarantine (隔离) of sorts, imprisoned by a continuous stream of bad feelings about what the future held.“I was locked up in my own freedom,” he recalled.
When he made it to his hometown on June 17, he was startled by the hero’s welcome he received. “Entering my port where my father had his sailboat, where he taught me so many things and where I learned how to sail and where all this originated, gave me the taste of a mission accomplished,” he said.

28. What drove Mr. Ballestero eventually decide to sail back home?
A. Because he bought a sailboat.
B. Because he thought family came first.
C. Because he wanted to show his bravery.
D. Because all international flights were canceled.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The sailboat. B. The pandemic.
C. The travel around the world. D. The task of sailing across the ocean.


30. How did Mr. Ballestero feel when he sailed across the ocean?
A. Afraid and sad. B. Free and relaxed.
C. Lonely and strange. D. Unsure and isolated.
31. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Mission Accomplished
B. A Travel across Atlantic
C. A Solo Sail towards Family
D. A Journey from Portuguese to Argentina

D
With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient.
After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents.
But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors(传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride.
Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company.
“Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram. “By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.”
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure(基础设施).
32. What calls for the development of smart cities?
A. The rapid progress in 5G networks.
B. The marked increase in world population.
C. The growing number of residents living in cities.
D. The major concern over the safety of living in cities.
33. How does the writer illustrate the way smart cities work?
A. By making a contrast. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing figures. D. By telling a story.
34. What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities?
A. People will be able to make the most of our environment at will.
B. Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used.
C. People will be better aware of environmental protection.
D. Air pollution will be stopped in its track.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all suffer from stress from time to time. At work or at home, there are times when our stress levels get too high. So how are your strategies for dealing with it? We interviewed some psychologists, and asked them for their practical strategies for getting through these difficult periods, and here is the advice they gave.
1. Identify the cause
If you are having problems with tense muscles, overtiredness, headaches or migraines, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship, living situation or something else? Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those that will get better with time and those outside your control. 36
2. Move your body
Exercise won’t cure your stress, but it can help to clear your head and make you feel as if you’re gaining some control. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there’s nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don’t make it more stressful by drinking, smoking and downing double coffees. 37
3. Talk it through
If you are the kind of person who is open to advice, find a friend to have a moan with. Friends can work as a support group, sounding board and – if there is some obvious solution you haven’t considered yet – they may provide you with solutions. 38
4. Ditch the phone
This doesn’t mean put it on “do not disturb” and look at it less. 39 Put it in a drawer an hour before bed and ignore it – have a bath, watch a film or read a book. You won’t check your work emails and you will stop scrolling through the seemingly endless achievements of your peers that will make you panic and feel as if you are getting nowhere. Breathe.
5. Make a list
Having too much to do may cause you to move around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting more done – but this is a false impression. Make a to-do list. 40 That way, you will approach the big things already feeling good.
A. Everyone knows that is not a proper solution.
B. Learn to focus on the first kind; ignore the others.
C. Stress can be useful at times, so try to learn to welcome it.
D. Imagine yourself lying on a beach, or in some other pleasant, peaceful place.
E. These aren’t fixes, and they will only make you feel physically and mentally worse.
F. Do the big, important things last, after you have achieved several of the small things.
G. Sometimes, you can’t see the easy way out of a situation when you are standing right in the middle of it.

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was making a stop on my book tour. A sweet woman approached me, and pleasantly 41 she wouldn’t buy a book. She said she 42 wanted to ask me a question: How did I get into acting and how did I 43 to stay in it? I was 44 the performance I had just delivered, so I didn’t want to waste energy with a long response. I said, “Persistence,” without thinking.
She laughed and said, “Well, sure. That’s true with everything, right?”
A light came on in my brain. She was righter than she knew. I said, “Yes, but not how you mean. Success is a 45 of persistence. So is failure. We become whatever we’re persistent at. I had friends who were always exactly 20 minutes late — persistently late. You could set your 46 by them. I know actors who persistently destroy their own chances. They don’t 47 enough. They don’t learn their lines. Persistently.”
A lot of the time our methods of working are a series of habits, good and bad, we 48 sometime in the past. Habits feel 49 . My ex-acting teacher once said, “Comfort is the enemy of the artist.”
I wasn’t crazy about his statement back then, because I was uncomfortable, but still wasn’t an artist. I see the 50 of it now. People 51 take the easy path. It’s human nature to look for the 52 at the back of the book. We often see the effort in finding better habits as a problem to be avoided, but in doing so, we persistently waste our 53 .
As actors, we know we can become anything with enough rehearsal. 54 look at what you do persistently. If you don’t like your habits, change them. No matter what your passion is, the power to 55 the map of your life is essential.
41. A. suggested B. admitted C. shouted D. decided
42. A. even B. hardly C. just D. also
43. A. attempt B. consider C. refuse D. manage

50. A. wisdom B. beauty C. hope D. history
51. A. never B. persistently C. fortunately D. unwillingly

Frog is a wise and brave frog, living happily with his neighbors as well as good friends – Duck, Pig, Hare and Rat. One day, dark clouds were gathering in the sky, hiding the sun from view. “It’s going to rain,” thought Frog happily. The first drops were already falling on his bare skin. Frog loved the rain. He danced for joy as the raindrops fell thick and fast, which was a bit too much even for Frog.
He ran home dripping wet and made himself a nice hot cup of tea. The raindrops pattered against the window but it was cozy inside. After three days of rain however, Frog began to feel restless. He wondered how his friends were, because he hadn't seen them since the rain started.
On the fifth day, the river began to rise. It wasn't long before water came streaming into Frog's house. Full of worry, he hurried over to Duck's house only to find it was flooded as well. Wading(蹚) through the watery landscape, they decided to go to Pig's house. Pig was leaning out of his attic(阁楼) window. “All my things are wet,” he cried desperately. The room was in a mess, with tables and chairs floating around. “Let’s go and see Hare,” suggested Frog.
Hare’s house was on an island in the middle of the water. Hare stood at the door and waved to them. “Come inside,” he shouted. “It’s dry in here.” Gratefully, they dried themselves in front of the stove and told Hare how their houses had been flooded. Hare invited them to stay as there’s plenty of room and plenty of food in the house. So they all sat down to a big pot of stew(炖菜) Hare had made. So hungry were they that they ate everything up. Then they settled down to a cosy evening and stayed there for days, while outside it kept raining.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, one day, they found they only had one loaf of bread left.


Pig, Duck and Hare cheered when they saw Frog return in a boat.






答案及评分标准

第一部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
21-23 CCD 24-27 CABC 28-31 DADC 32-35 CBBA
21. C 细节理解题。根据文章的标题“The College Application Process”可知，需要申请大学的是高中生。
22. C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第四行”if you submit Early Decision to a college and they accept, you must attend that college”，可知Early Decision被接收后就可以准备上大学了。
23. D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一行”A college essay is really just a way for admissions advisors to get to know you more, hear your perspective and relate to you on a personal level”，可知要在申请过程中脱颖而出，必须在面试中展现个人特色。
24. 词义猜测题。根据题干，定位至线索于if you’re looking for something a bit more formal, sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-vite a brilliant makeover，关键在于理解sth is more formal，因此B不对。另外，还需要理解brilliant makeover，因此本词应指非brilliant事物。故选C。本题在于考察选项中plain和inviting的熟词生义。
25. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段，offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event可知，在聚会结束之后，那些保存完好的装饰品应捐赠给一些free group。故选A。本题主要考察文中decent condition与题干good condition、free group与donate的对应意义。
26. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段，I shouldn’t have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much greek salad or drip oil through the bottom? Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives? There really isn’t much to be gained from using disposables可知，我不应该在这方面做太多令人信服的事情--真的有人喜欢使用那些纸盘，当你把它们高高地堆放在太多的希腊沙拉或从底部滴下的油中时，这些纸盘会对折吗？世界历史上有没有人真的用一把完全没用的塑料刀成功地切割过什么东西？使用一次性用品真的没什么好处。故选B。本题在于考察选项中practical的含义以及长难句理解。
27. 主旨大意题。根据本文第一段中的waste-free可知，本文主要讲述如何举办更加环保的菊花，故选C。本题主要考察waste-free和选项中green的理解。

28. B 细节理解题。在第二段最后Mr. Ballestero said. “I wanted to do everything possible to return home. The most important thing for me was to be with my family.” 由此可得出，最终驱使Mr. Ballestero 驾船回家是他对家人的爱与思念。干扰选项是D，第一段提到阿根廷为了防止新冠的影响，将所有航班取消，但这只是其中一个客观因素，如果不是他对家人的爱，他可以选择留在小岛上，但是对家人的爱促使他决定冒险。
29. A 本题考查学生理解代词的指代。主人公在2017年就买了这条船，希望有一天驾驶着它环游世界。这条船被证明当疫情在全球肆虐时，很好地承担了该项任务。“be up to the task”指完成任务。
30. D 细节理解题。第四段主人公描述自己在航行时的感受： “I wasn’t afraid, but I did have a lot of uncertainty,” he said. 可见主人公不害怕，只是不确定未来会怎样。第五段第一句”Despite the expansiveness of the ocean, Mr. Ballestero felt he was in a quarantine (隔离) of sort,...” 可见主人公在海上航行时感到非常孤独，有另外一种被隔离的感觉，凸显出他渴望回到家人身边的情感。
31. C 主旨大意题。整篇文章主要讲述了Mr. Ballestero在航班取消的疫情期间，独自驾船穿越大西洋回家的故事。其他选项所涵盖范围过广，无法针对性地突出故事的主旨。
32. C. 根据第二段more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. “根据联合国的一份报告，预计到2050年，全球60%以上的人口将居住在城市。让这些城市更适合这么多人居住的答案在于创建智能城市”可知，发展智能城市的原因是人口的快速增长。学生容易误选A，第二段提到智能城市会使用5G网络，但并未说5G网络的快速发展导致了智能城市的发展。
33.B．文章第二段通过三个例子in the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore…; In Amsterdam, the Netherlands…; And in Copenhagen, Denmark…来阐述智慧城市的运作方式，故选B。
34.B．根据第五段By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well可知，城市通过传感器和5G网络来监控和分配资源的使用，从而帮助我们更高效地生活，故选B。原文说智慧城市可以“communicate with our environment”而不是随意利用环境，故A错。C选项文章没有提及。选文说air pollutants的排放量会减少，而不是没有，故D错。
35.A．根据文章最后一段“But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways.” 和“It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure.”可知，作者对智能城市的态度是积极乐观的。

41-45 BCDAA 46-50 BDCBA 51-55 BDDAC
Question 41; (B) Here, you need to try to work out what the situation is. We know the writer is an actor; we know he’s probably quite famous, as the lady is about to ask him for the secret of his success; we know he’s on his ‘book tour;’ the lady says she won’t buy a book, so that means she’s somewhere where buying a book is at least possible, probably expected. So, what’s a book tour? Well, it’s when an author goes from place to place, promoting his book and signing copies for fans, and chatting to them at the same time. Here, the reason why the lady says she won’t buy a book is because she’s expected to buy one, otherwise, why would she need to say it? (Usually, you can only speak to the writer if you buy a book, or if you bring them a copy) If you’re not going to do something that you’re supposed to do, then you should use ‘admit,’ and that’s the case here. Of course, the writer is hoping to sell as many books as possible.
Question 42; (C) Here, it means “she only wanted to ask me a question.”
Question 43; (D) Here, it means “How did I get into acting and how did I succeed in staying in it?”
Question 44; (A) You just need to consider ‘what’s the effect of a performance on an actor’ and ‘in what situation are people least likely to want to waste energy.’ ‘Tired from’ means 因…而累, and it’s the only choice here. Thinking that the writer dislikes acting without any related evidence is not mainstream thinking. Most actors are tired after performances; most actors don’t dislike acting, or are fed up with acting.
Question 45; (A) Here, it means “Success is a result of persistence.”
Question 46; (B) If you ‘can set your watch by sth.,’ it means it always happens at exactly the same time. (often it’s used as a kind of exaggeration…eg. His lessons always last for 47 minutes. You can set your watch by him!). ‘Set your watch’ means ‘adjust your watch so that the time is accurate.’ The tip is in the previous sentence - ‘exactly 20 minutes late.’
Question 47; (D) Here, it means “They fail to get well prepared.”
Question 48; (C) Here, it means “A lot of the time our methods of working are a series of habits, good and bad, we form sometime in the past.”
Question 49; (B) Here, it means “Habits make you feel comfortable.”
Question 50; (A) Here, it means “I wasn’t crazy about his statement back then, because I was uncomfortable, but still wasn’t an artist. I know now he is sensible to say so.”
Question 51; (B) Here, it means “People tend to take the easy path.”
Question 52; (D) ‘Look for the XXX in the back of the book’ is an example of ‘take the easy path;’… something that if done persistently will have a negative effect on us. I think a lot of you could have understood this paragraph, but maybe didn’t keep cool and focused enough. Note ‘We often see the effort in finding better habits as a problem to be avoided’ – 我们经常把找更好的习惯所需要的努力看成一种要避免的问题 – means he’s saying we’re lazy… This sentence isn’t very hard to understand, and really needs to be understood. Anyway, many textbooks have answers at the back… looking for the answers rather than doing the questions is commonly accepted as a kind of lazy behaviour. Finding the other things in A, B, or C isn’t considered lazy, and therefore isn’t relevant to the writer’s argument at all.
Question 53; (D) – closely related to what I just said above. Of course, the answer can’t be ‘effort,’ because the writer’s just said that we’re not willing to make efforts. So, if we’re not willing to make the effort to change our bad habits, what do we waste? The writer’s main idea is stated in Paragraph 3 - Success is a product of persistence. So is failure. We become whatever we’re persistent at. So… if we don’t take the trouble to change our bad habits, we persist with them, which means that we become a failure rather than a success.

第二节：读后续写 （满分25分）
【命题立意】本次写作任务在幼儿绘本《弗洛格是个英雄》的基础上进行改编，故事人物特点鲜明，情节生动有趣，语言较简单，既能激发学生的想象力，培养学生的思维品质，又能考察学生把握文章关键信息点，准确丰富使用语言以及把控语篇结构的能力。


【命题解析】
Then, one day, they found they only had one loaf of bread left. Deeply worried, they were sitting in dead silence when Frog stood up and offered to find food. (烘托气氛，交代主角) He headed for the door, stepped out and jumped into the bitterly cold water, without hesitation. Unfortunately, in the midway, he ran into a whirlpool and kept going round in circles at great speed. Noticing that heavier objects went down more quickly, he swiftly grasped a barrel nearby, tied himself to it and tried to flee. （重点情节，细节描写，突出主题）Finally, he made it to the Rat’s, where he found abundant food as well as a boat, and hurried back to the Hare’s. （非重点情节，交代即可）
Pig, Duck and Hare cheered when they saw Frog return in a boat. Seeing his friends, Frog waved with great excitement, “I’ve brought us a lot of food.” As soon as the boat landed, the three grabbed Frog’s arms, gave him a hug and cheered, “You are a real hero!”(点题) Hearing this, Frog was glowing with pride. That night, they held a party, swallowed a big meal and fell into a sound sleep. The next thing they knew was morning, when the rain stopped and the sun came out, casting a red glow over the village.（环境描写，圆满结尾）
【写后点评】1.内容层面，为了突出“Frog is a hero”的主题，第一段应构思Frog出门寻找食物，会遇上何种困难，侧重描写Frog克服困难的过程，第二段描述Frog顺利归来，可从小伙伴的反应以及环境衬托Frog的勇敢进行点题；2.表达层面，第一段侧重Frog克服困难的动作描写以及伴随心理描写，也可有适度的环境烘托，第二段侧重喜悦场景的描写；3.连贯层面，学会利用心理转变，如范文的deeply worried, unfortunately, 以及时间状语，如范文的finally, as soon as the ship landed, the next thing they knew was…来连接句子，使行文流畅。
