As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.
In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.
The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.
Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.
Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”
24. What causes the increase in bicycle sales?
A. Shortage of public transportation.
B. Outbreak of the coronavirus.
C. People’s desire to defeat disease.
D. People’s fear of natural disasters.
25. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy?
A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.
B. “Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C. Cars are banned from some central roads.
D. New bicycle paths have been built.
26. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. It’s impossible to buy a bike.
B. Bike factories were closed in April.
C. High demand for bikes began in March.
D. It takes many months to produce a bike.
27. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
C
The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientists say they’re able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together.
Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0℃ during the southern hemisphere’s (半球的) summer months from November to February.
“As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of snow algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts.
The team also discovered some sea birds and mammals influenced the distribution（分布） of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings, which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.”
“This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based life on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences, who led the study.
28. What is turning the Antarctic snow green?
A. The melting of snow.
B. The blooming algae.
C. The beautiful landscape.
D. The balanced temperature.
29. Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica?
A. North of the Antarctic.
B. West of the South Pole.
C. South of the Antarctic.
D. Around the southern hemisphere.
30. What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Confirm. B. Support. C. Assume. D. Warn.
31. What can we learn from the text?
A. Penguins feed on microscopic algae.
B. Antarctic algae grow under the snow.
C. Ground observation lasted for four months.
D. Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms.
D
Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.
The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.
Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
32. What can we learn about Jessica Watson?
A. She was criticized by the government.
B. She eventually canceled her voyage.
C. She has traveled around the world.
D. She made a successful voyage.
33 What can be inferred about teenagers from the text?
A. They have similar abilities.
B. They make decisions on their own.
C. They always make wrong judgments.
D. They need supports of responsible adults.
34. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Psychologists. D. Adults.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers
B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens
C. Various Ways to Become Independent
D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals

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。
Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
36 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. 37 That’s around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea（腹泻） from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water. 38 Therefore, they don’t have time to learn how to read or write and don’t get an education.
39 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 40 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water: they can’t go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为120左右。
On December 16, 2008, Randy Heiss was hiking in Patagonis, a town near the US-Mexico border when he noticed there was a red balloon. He walked towards it, and found the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss turned the paper over. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish.
Heiss suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned his letters, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one. It would be difficult, but Heiss had a few clues. About 20 miles to the southwest, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Based on the blowing wind, he was pretty sure that’s where it came from.
Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They found that Dayami had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and art supplies. Heiss then posted about his search on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family, but with no success. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2008, he sent a private message to Radio XENY, a radio station in Nogales.
The next morning, Heiss got a message from Radio XENY: They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl whose parents were killed in a car accident. They would arrange a get-together with Dayami at the radio station. So they bought just about everything on Dayami’s list.
Paragraph 1:
Then the Heisses drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later, Heisses received a phone call from Dayami.

录音稿（Text 1）
W: Excuse me, sir. Visiting hours are over now. Your wife must get some rest.
M: Oh, I’m sorry, doctor. I didn’t hear the bell or I would have left earlier.
（Text 2）M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?
W: We’ll need you to join the gym, and then you can find out which classes fit your schedule the best.
（Text 3）W: I’ll see you at the theater.
M: Better still. Let’s meet in the Red Lion Bar to have a nice little talk.
W: Good idea. And I’d love to have a drink there.
（Text 4）M: Hello, my name is John Arber, and I’m calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday’s .
W: Yes, the position is still open. You could come over and have a talk with us.
（Text 5）M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?
W: Thanks, but I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.
（Text 6）W: Did you know James went out of business?
M: Really? When was that?
W: Last month.
M: That’s too bad. He had owned that business for fifteen years. What happened?
W: I don’t know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now. His sons are still so young. One is thirteen, and the other is ten.
M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.
W: I hope so.
（Text 7）W: Guess what! My mother’s decided to go back to school.
M: Why?
W: Well, she always loved art but learned business administration at college, because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.
M: So she wants to study art now?
W: Yeah, oil painting. It’s been her dream for a long time.
M: It’s nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation. Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.
W: You know, she retired last year. And I’m leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.
M: Well, maybe, if it’s what she wants.
（Text 8）M: Dear listeners, for today’s show I have with me my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years. Mary, welcome to our show.
W: It’s a pleasure to be here.
M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become a reporter?
W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choice of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.
M: How did they do that?
W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have — one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I’ve always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books，all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.
M: What about your mother?
W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.
（Text 9）M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.
W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.
M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.
W: Don’t be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.
M: Mm, interesting.
W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%.
M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that like what I probably do. Does that help?
W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.
（Text 10）W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. 
Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic. Biologist student Hannah tells the broadcaster, “The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. 
As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads.” Biologist Christan says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

29.细节理解题。根据“Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands”选A。
30.词义猜测题。根据“this may be due to their droppings”中的may（也许）和due to（因为）可知，科学家们是在推测和假设原因，故选C。
31．细节理解题。文中并未提到企鹅以藻类为食，故A错，排除选项A；根据“across the surface of the snow”可知藻类覆盖在雪的表面，故B错，排除选项B；根据“on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers”可知，地面观察持续了两个夏天，故C错，排除选项C；根据“this may be due to their droppings”可知，藻类的爆发可能是因为企鹅等动物的粪便，故选D。
D 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻，一个年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。
32．细节理解题。第一段的“For example, Jessica Watson was asked …Australians” when she returned.”可知，政府要求Jessica Watson取消航行，但在她返回时总理称她为澳大利亚年轻人的英雄。由此可知，Jessica Watson进行了一次成功的航行。故选D。
33.推理判断题。第二段的“ The amount of …well-qualified adult supporters.”可知，允许每个人独立的程度不仅应由他们的年龄决定，还需要与相关的负责任的成年人讨论。有些青少年肯定是没有经验的，并且容易犯幼稚的错误，但是那些尝试危险旅行的青少年那样做通常是得到了精明冷静的和有学识的成人支持者的信任。由此可知，青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持。选D。
34.指代猜测题。划线词they指代的是前文提到的青少年。故选B。
35.标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻，一个处境危险的年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。下文具体地分析了人们的不同看法。根据第二题的分析可知，第二段提到“青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持”。第三段提到“认为任何16岁的年轻人都渴望获得Jessica Watson一样出色的成就也是错误的”。最后一段中提到作者的看法“不应仅凭对年轻人的先入为主的看法来判断在世界各地旅行的青少年。青少年也不应感到压力去渴望达到非凡的个人目标。实际上，我相信单人航行的例子过分强调个人主义。十几岁的时候，我们大多数普通人都知道我们可以与他人合作来成就伟大的事情”。因此A项（对年轻冒险者的不同看法。）可以作为文章的标题。故选A。
七选五
36.A此空作为段首句，起承上启下的作用。第一段讲了人和水的直接关系，第二段讲的是水在生活中的用途，是人和水之间的间接关系。故选A。 37.E根据空前提到的“并不是全世界很多人都能干净的水”，空后句提到的这大概是世界十分之一的人口”，可知，前面一句应该涉及人口数量，故选E。38.D空前一句提到“在一些国家，孩子们要步行很远才能取到水”和空后“因此，他们没有时间学习读字，不能接受教育”，可知此空承上启下，说明孩子们不能上学的原因是每天要花很多时间去取水。39.F由空后的 this day可知选F。
40.G空前提到“在英国的一所学校，10到15岁的子们带着6升水步行6公里”，可知这是在效仿取水难地区的陔子们，人们以这种方式让孩子们体会去很远的地方取水的艰难，让孩子们知道洁净水的珍贵。

应用文
Dear Lily,
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling sad now. I'd like to offer you some advice.
First of all, I recommend that you find a chance to have a face-to-face talk with your mother, which will help you two understand each other. Secondly, you’d better try your best to work hard and balance your lessons and physical health, and in that case your mother will have confidence in you. Thirdly, tell your mother that you have grown up and can deal with some things on your own and advise her not to be concerned about you. In addition, it’s a good idea to tell her that you are eager to be independent and eager for more freedom.
Hope my suggestions will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写
Paragraph 1:
Then the Heisses drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales. They arrived at the radio XENY offices with all the presents and finally met this excited little girl. She didn’t expect that the wish balloon really did work. What happened was beyond her wildest dream. She couldn’t believe somebody out there did care about her.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later, Heisses received a phone call from Dayami. Heisses was surprised that Dayami should still remember him and asked her how everything was going on with her. She told him in an excited voice that she had been admitted to a famous university in Mexico and she owed a lot to Heisses. She also told him that she started a Santa Claus’s Helper Project to pass on the love she received ten years ago.
这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知， Randy Heiss在远足时看到了一个红气球，他走近后发现气球的一端绑着一张纸。妻子看后确定是一个孩子试图通过气球向圣诞老人发送圣诞节愿望清单。Randy Heiss随后在Facebook上发布了有关这个孩子的信息，并附上照片，希望找到女孩儿的家人，但没有成功。随后他向Nogales的广播电台求助，后来Randy Heiss从电台得知，他们找到了八岁的女孩Dayami，她的父母在一场车祸中丧生。他们将在电台与Dayami相聚并为她购买了圣诞节愿望清单上的几乎所有商品。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：然后海斯夫妇开车长达45分钟时间，越过边界进入Nogales。接下来应该写他们带着所有礼物到达XENY广播电台，终于见到了这个激动的小女孩。她没想到通过气球表达的愿望真的能实现。接下来发生的事情超出了她的想象。她简直不敢相信有人在乎她。第二段的开头是：十年后，海斯夫妇接到了Dayami的电话。接下来可以写Heiss对Dayami仍然记得他感到惊讶，Heiss问她的情况如何。她用兴奋的声音告诉他，她已经被墨西哥的一所著名大学录取，她对Heiss非常感激。她还告诉他，她发起了“圣诞老人帮助者计划”，以延续十年前她收到的关爱。
