Have you heard of the following events?
Sheep shearing (修剪)
It’s a big sport in New Zealand, which proudly hosts the annual Golden Shears International Championships. Held in the town of Masterton in March, the four-day event seeks to identify the world’s fastest sheep shearer. The event is not all about shearing; live bands bring a party atmosphere to it. It’s attractive to many tourists.
Lucha libre
It’s a form of freestyle wrestling with a devoted fan base in its native Mexico. Competitors are famous for their well-made masks, which keep their identities a secret. That’s until they are defeated in the fight, which often requires losers to show their faces. Don’t forget to bring some loose change: when viewers are impressed by a victorious wrestler, they throw money at them. You may enjoy the event once a year.
Lawnmower (割草机) racing
This annual sport now has its own governing body—the British Lawn Mower Racing Association (BLRA). It has a 30-race championship that runs from May to October. Most races are part of larger rural events, such as the Cranleigh Show in Surrey, where viewers can experience other events. The BLRA remains un-commercial and donates all profits to organizations that help people who are poor, sick, or in difficulties.
Wife carrying
Every year a small town of Sonkajaervi in Finland hosts the event: the International Wife Carrying Championships. During this competition, husbands have to carry their wives along the track which is 250 m long and features several barriers on land and a 1-m deep water pool. Two couples start at the same time and run as fast as they can. The winning couple is the one that completes the course in the shortest time.
1. What are viewers advised to do while watching Lucha libre?
A. Wear a mask. B. Cheer for the loser.
C. Look at the wrestler’s face. D. Take some coins with them.
2. Which event is related to charity work?
A. Sheep shearing. B. Lawnmower racing.
C. Lucha libre. D. Wife carrying.
3. What do the events listed in the text have in common?
A. They are held annually. B. They attract many tourists.
C. They are international sports. D. They are favored by the young.

From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming, the wind picking up and the sky darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool is closing immediately, asking everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.
All the swimmers had left by 3 :30 except Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack. Zack's mother had planned to pick him up after work, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided to drop Zack off on her way home, She taped a note for Ms Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.
The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. Jessica said, “Zack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine." She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces. Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.
Remembering everything she could from her emergency training, Jessica took Zack to the completely dark basement. Jessica held Zack's trembling hand tightly. Feeling their way with great caution, they sat down in a corner finally. Outside, the lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and the furious wind howled, which threatened to put the world to an end. Feeling overwhelmingly scared, little Zack burst into tears, saying, “I miss my mom." Jessica held him in her arms, saying, “Honey, don't be afraid! Everything will be all right.”
After a final crash, the sound of the storm grew distant. Jessica sighing with relief, the pair hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.”(杰西卡紧紧地握住扎克的手。杰西卡抱起扎克,费了好大劲才进去;她唯一的想法就是去一个安全的地方。)根据第四段“ Jessica held him in her arms, saying, “Honey, don't be afraid!

’Instead of corona virus, the hunger will kill us.’ A global food crisis appears.
In the largest slum(贫民窟) in Kenya’s capital, people desperate to eat cause chaos during a recent giveaway of flour and cooking oil, leaving scores injured and two people dead.
In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger away.
The corona virus pandemic has brought hunger to millions of people around the world. An estimated 265 million people could be pushed to the edge of starvation by year’s end. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program, a U.N. agency. “It wasn’t a pretty picture to begin with, and this makes it probably worse.”
The world has experienced severe hunger crises before, but those were regional and caused by one factor or another — extreme weather, economic downturns, wars or political instability. This hunger crisis, experts say, is global and caused by a variety of factors linked to the corona virus pandemic and the following interruption of the economic order.
There is no shortage of food globally, or mass starvation from the pandemic — yet. But problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave poor countries exposed in the coming months, especially those dependent on imports, said Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington.
To lessen the impact of this crisis, some governments are fixing prices on food items, delivering free food and carrying out plans to send money transfers to the poorest households. Yet, communities across the world are also taking matters into their own hands. Some are raising money through crowdfunding platforms, while others have begun programs to purchase meals for needy families.
8. What can we know from the scenes of people getting food in Kenya and India?
A. Food shortage is becoming increasingly severe.
B. People in Kenya and India are rude and mean.
C. Food shortage causes people to go on strike.
D. People are afraid of being infected by corona virus.
9. What is Arif Husain’s attitude to the starvation caused recently?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Pessimistic.
10. Why is this hunger crisis different from the previous hunger crises?
A. It is global and caused by various factors.
B. It has caused mass starvation regionally.
C. It is caused by natural disasters.
D. It is caused by the economic disorder.
11. Which of the following measures is taken by the governments for this hunger crisis?
A. Raising money. B. Buying meals.
C. Giving out free food. D. Setting prices on goods.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了由于新冠疫情而导致的全球性的饥饿危机。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据二、三段内容“In the largest slum(贫民窟) in Kenya’s capital, people desperate to eat cause chaos during a recent giveaway of flour and cooking oil, leaving scores injured and two people dead. In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger away. (在肯尼亚首都最大的贫民窟,饥饿的人们在最近一次免费面粉和食用油发放过程中导致混乱,数十人受伤,两人死亡。在印度,成千上万的工人每天两次排队等待面包和油炸蔬菜以充饥。)”可推断,从这些场景可知,食物短缺日益成为严重的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“‘We’ve never seen anything like this before,’ said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program, a U.N. agency. ‘It wasn’t a pretty picture to begin with, and this makes it probably worse.’(“我们从未见过这样的事情,”阿里夫侯赛因说。“情况本来就不太好,然而病毒疫情使问题进入了一个史无前例的未知领域。”)”可推断,阿里夫候塞因对最近导致的饥饿的态度是消极的。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“This hunger crisis, experts say, is global and caused by a variety of factors linked to the corona virus pandemic and the following interruption of the economic order.(专家们说,这次的饥饿危机是全球性的,是由与新冠病毒疫情和随之而来的经济秩序中断有关的多种因素造成的。)”可知,这次饥饿危机与以前的饥饿危机不同是因为它是全球性的由多种因素造成的。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“To lessen the impact of this crisis, some governments are fixing prices on food items, delivering free food and carrying out plans to send money transfers to the poorest households.(为了减轻这场危机的影响,一些国家的政府正在控制食品价格,提供免费食物,并制定了向最贫困家庭汇款的计划。)”可知,为了应对这场饥饿危机,政府采取了分发免费食物等措施。故选C。
D
An advance in electronic publishing could make the e-book you are reading seem as dated as a silent film. Publishers hope to explore the growing success of e-books by releasing versions with added soundtracks(电影配音)and musical accompaniments.
The noises in the first multimedia books — released in Britain on Friday - include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noise will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.
Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency, said the new generation of computer- literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said, “Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
Book track's sound effects work by estimating the user's reading speed. Each lime you turn a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步),a click on any word will reset it.
Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure, of reading. David Nicholls, author of Our Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. I have enough trouble reading an e-book because I'm constantly distracted by emails.
Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an e-book bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said, “If I'm reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what lea cups clinking sounds like. That would irritate (激怒)me.”
12. What do publishers expect an e-book soundtrack to do?
A. Help to release an e-book as a film. B. Help readers improve reading speed.
C. Add tension at a book's exciting point. D. Get readers familiar with the background.
13. Who is in favour of added soundtracks for e-books?
A. Mr. Darcy. B. Caroline Michel.
C. David Nicholls. D. Stuart MacBride.
14. What do we know about Stuart MacBride?
A. He was a person who was easy to get angry.
B. He knew a great deal about tea and tea culture.
C. Eighty-two percent of his books described crime.
D. He imagined sounds related to the story when reading.
15. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Opinions about e-books with soundtracks.
B. Response to the need of the book market.
C. Reasons for traditional e-books becoming outdated.
D. Suggestions on encouraging readers’ imagination.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了出版商希望通过发行带有配乐和音乐伴奏版本来探索电子书的日益成功,以及人们对此的不同看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the plot of a book reaches the most exciting part, background scores will create tension.(当一本书的情节达到最激动人心的部分时,背景音乐就会产生紧张感。)”可知,出版商希望电子书的配乐能在书的激动人心之处增加紧张感。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Caroline Michel 所说“Young people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that's what the market wants then we should respond to the market.(年轻人把电脑屏幕一分为二,他们可能一边看电视,一边回邮件。如果这是市场想要的,那么我们就应该对市场做出反应。)”可以推知,Caroline Michel赞成为电子书增加配乐。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Stuart MacBride 所说“If I'm reading, I will do the noise in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what lea cups clinking sounds like. That would irritate (激怒)me.(如果我在读书,我会在脑子里想象(制造)噪音。我不需要别人告诉我啤酒杯的叮当声是什么声音。那会激怒我的。)”可知,Stuart MacBride阅读时能想象与故事相关的声音。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文,特别是根据第三段中“Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for e-books and will add excitement for younger readers.( 支持者认为,声音效果是电子书的下一个合理发展方向,它将增加年轻读者的兴奋感。)”以及第六段中“Some authors fear that a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure, of reading.(一些作者担心,音乐可能会破坏图书馆的宁静,破坏阅读的乐趣。)”可知,本文主要介绍了人们对带有配乐的电子书的(不同)看法。故选A项。

第二节(共10小题;每题1.5分,共15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
More and more South Korean parents are turning to “Uncle Service” providers to make sure their children don’t have to put up____41____ bullying (欺凌) in school. Though such services are____42____(obvious) very expensive, it is more effective to deal with the matter,___43___ makes the business more and more popular. ___44___ is reported that the rented strong uncles can not only protect children from bullies, but can also gather evidence of bullying ____45____ (make) an official complaint with the school. Most companies offer different packages (套餐) to meet customers’___46___ (need) and business is reported booming. Some parents think it can solve the problem without ___47___(have) to wait for a long investigation. Others hold the opposite view, thinking it another form of_____48_____(violent). Some experts claim that parents taking matters into their own hands isn’t____49____ effective way and the school bullying needs to_____50_____ (deal) with by improving the system.
【答案】41. with
42. obviously
43. which 44. It
45. to make
46. needs 47. having
48. violence
49. an 50. be dealt
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了在韩国出现了一种保护未成年人不受校园欺凌称为“Uncle Service”的服务。陈述了不同人对此的不同看法。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:越来越多的韩国父母求助于Uncle Service,以确保他们的孩子不必忍受在学校受欺凌。put up with 译为“忍受,忍耐”。是固定短语。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管这样的服务显然非常昂贵。分析句子,根据词性之间的相互修饰。obvious(明显的)改为副词修饰后面的副词very。故填obviously。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:处理问题更加有效,使业务越来越受欢迎。分析句子,划线部分充当了主语,故该空需填引导词。划线前有逗号,且先行词指代前句的“处理问题更加有效”这件事。在非限制性定从中,先行词指代某件事。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意:据报道,租来的强壮叔叔不仅可以保护孩子免受欺凌,还可以收集欺凌的证据,向学校提出正式投诉。分析句子, it + be + done +that 是固定搭配,是形式主语的结构。故填It。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:还可以收集欺凌的证据,向学校提出正式投诉。分析句子,除了提示词外已有动词can gather, 所以动词make 需要用非谓语动词。根据句意,此处需用to do 表示目的。故填to make。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:大多数公司提供不同的套餐,以满足客户的需要。分析句子,customers’译为“顾客的”可以修饰名词构成所属关系。此处的need作为名词译为“需求”,要用名词的复数形式。故填needs。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一些家长认为不用等待很长时间的调查就能解决问题。分析句子, without 为介词,后面加doing的形式。故填having。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:另一些人持相反的观点,认为这是暴力的另一种形式。分析句子,依据所属关系,of 前后都用名词表示所属关系。故需将violent改为名词和form构成所属关系。故填violence。
【49题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一些专家认为,父母自己解决问题不是一个有效的方法。分析句子,划线后的way译为“方法,方式”是可数名词,要体现名词的单复数。此处需要体现单数,又因way被effective修饰,effective以元音因素开头。故填an。
【50题详解】
考查语态。句意:学校欺凌问题需要通过改进制度来解决。分析句意,need to be done 需要做某事,故需用不定式的被动。故填 be dealt。
第三节 单词填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分 注意:每空一词且请用必修7第1至第4单元的单词)

【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:她能清楚地看到自己映在他的眼睛里。根据中文提示“映射,反射”可知,此处填reflect。分析句子可知,此处考查see+名词/代词+非谓语, herself 与reflect为被动关系,用过去分词形式。故填reflected。
54. The project had to be ___________(放弃) due to a lack of government funding. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】abandoned
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态。句意:由于缺乏政府资助,这个项目不得不放弃。“放弃”是abandon,项目是被放弃,句子用被动语态,空格前有be,因此空格处用过去分词,故填abandoned。

【答案】dragged
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:孩子被拖走了,又踢又叫。 根据句意和汉语提示应填动词drag“拖,拽”作谓语,用主语child是被动关系,用被动语态,空格前有was,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填dragged。
60. You’ll first let us know your intention and then we will make __________(安排) for your courses according to your demand. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】arrangements
【解析】
