On May 11, Academician Zhong Nanshan said in an International Nurses’ Day blessing video: “I have been engaged (从事) in clinical (临床的) medical work for more than 60 years, and I have always firmly believed that medical treatment can’t be separated from nursing.” Nowadays, nurses and doctors are called “angels in white” together.
Ms. Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing, was born in Italy on May 12, 1820.
She got the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp” during the Crimean war. Every night, Nightingale would make rounds through the hospitals to check on the men with a small lamp in her hands.
Today, “Nightingale” has become a symbol of the spirit of nurses who burn themselves and illuminate (照亮) others. So Nightingale’s birthday became International Nurses’ Day in 1974.
Nurses account for more than half of all the world’s health workers. Historically, as well as today, nurses are at the forefront (最前线) of fighting epidemics (传染病) and pandemics (全球大流行病)-providing high quality and respectful treatment and care.
The Covid-19 pandemic reminds everyone what a vital role nurses play. They are safeguarding the lives of thousands of people on the front line of the fight against the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) with their own lives. They have deep dents(凹痕) in their skin due to the tightly fastened (紧束) masks, but in fact, the covering couldn’t hide their beauty. Without nurses and other health workers, we will not win the battle against outbreaks.
Salute (向……致敬) all the nurses who protect life in the name of love.
31.What does Zhong Nanshan really want to tell us in paragraph 1
A.Nursing is as important as medical treatment. B.Doctors are more important than nurses.
C.He’s an experienced doctor. D.Nurses are more important than doctors.
32.When is International Nurses’ Day
A.On May 11. B.On May 12. C.On May 13. D.On May 15.
33.Which of the following is TRUE
A.The covering of masks could hide the nurses’ beauty.
B.The number of nurses is larger than that of doctors in the world.
C.Zhong Nanshan is the founder of nursing.
D.International Nurses’ Day starts during the Crimean War.
34.What does the underlined word “vital” mean in Paragraph 6
A.important B.exciting C.happy D.easy
35.This passage is mainly to _______.
A.introduce “The Lady with the Lamp” B.tell us Zhong Nanshan’s view of nurses
C.salute all the nurses D.introduce International Nurses’ Day

On December 24th, children around the world are waiting for Santa Claus(圣诞老人) to bring them gifts. But do you know that some people in China don’t like Christmas so much
Last month, 10 students from Tsinghua(清华), Peking and Renmin Universities said Santa Claus wasn’t welcome in China.
“Christmas is becoming more and more popular in China, while people do not talk much of traditional Chinese festivals, like the Spring Festival,” said the students in a letter.
They asked people to stop sending Christmas cards and buying gifts for their children. Instead, they said, we should spend more time on our own festivals.
There are people who have the same ideas. In Hunan, several people went out on the street on Christmas Day. They made poems and wrote Chinese calligraphy(书法). “We should care more about our own culture,” said one of them. But others have different ideas. “Having Christmas helps us know more about foreign cultures. It is good for us to make friends.” said Liu Yang, a 14-year-old boy from Shanghai. Another boy, Sun Long, 13, from Beijing said, “My school held a big party on Christmas Day. We played games and shared gifts with each other. I think we have got closer.”

【导语】本文主要介绍了苏格兰的爱丁堡艺术节。
41.代词指代题。根据“The festival lasts for three weeks every August and early September when the city is filled with artists from all over the world. They come to Edinburgh for this biggest art festival in Britain.”可知是来自世界各地的艺术家来爱丁堡参加英国最大的艺术节,“They”指代“artists”。故选A。
42.推理判断题。根据“One of the most famous art events of the festival is the painting and sculpture celebration, which was started in 2004.”可知爱丁堡的绘画和雕塑庆典开始于2004年,现在2022年,由此推出它有18年的历史。故选D。
43.细节理解题。根据“During this time, the streets of the city are alive with music and dance from early in the morning until late at night. You can even see artists painting pictures on the streets.”可知在这个节日期间,你可以很容易地欣赏各种艺术。故选A。
44.细节理解题。根据“During this time, the streets of the city are alive with music and dance from early in the morning until late at night. ... This year, you can see over five hundred performances with actors from more than forty countries. The tickets for these performances are quite cheap, and it is usually easier to see your favorite star in Edinburgh than it is in London.”可知街道上充满音乐和舞蹈、有来自不同国家的表演、能以更少的花费见到最喜欢的明星,这些都是作者推荐这个节日的原因,D项内容文中未提及。故选D。
45.推理判断题。本文主要介绍了苏格兰的爱丁堡艺术节。由此推出写这篇文章的目的是来描述一下这个节日到底是什么样的。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了世界各地不同的节日风俗习惯,有些风俗可能会随时时间的推移而消失,有些则会发生改变。
46.句意:每个节日都有它的不同的风俗。customs是复数名词,其前应用形容词性物主代词来修饰。人称代词it的形容词性物主代词为its。故填its。
47.句意:然而,无论它们看起来有多么不同,全世界,分享快乐、爱或和平的精神在所有的节日里都是一样的。all over the world表示“全世界”。故填over。
48.句意:在所有的传统节日中,关于收获的节日在几乎每一个文化中都能被找到。festivals为复数名词,其前应用形容词修饰。名词tradition的形容词是traditional“传统的”。故填traditional。
49.句意:人们庆祝节日来表达他们对这一年收获的食物是心存感谢的。be thankful for表示“对……表示感谢”。故填for。
50.句意:在古代埃及,收获的节日是在春天庆祝的。根据“In ancient Egypt”可知该句应用一般过去时。主语the harvest festival与动词celebrate存在逻辑上的被动关系,因此句子应有一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为:was/were+过去分词。主语the harvest festival为单数名词,be动词用was。动词celebrate的过去分词为celebrated。故填was celebrated。
51.句意:现在,在一些欧洲国家,人们通过放置鲜花和水果,把教堂和市政厅装饰得比平时更好看,然后大家聚在一起共享晚餐。由“than”可知句子应用比较级,感官动词look后接形容词作表语,因此good的比较级为better。故填better。
52.句意:在中国的中秋节,家人聚在一起赏月,吃美味的月饼。“中秋节”是专有名词the Mid-Auturmn festival,其前应用定冠词the。故填the。
53.句意:风俗习惯在节日中起到重要的作用,但有时它们也会随着时间的推移而发生改变。空格前的“Customs play an important role in festivals”意为“风俗习惯在节日中起到重要的作用”,空格后的“sometimes they can change over time”意为“有时它们会随着时间的推移而发生改变”,两个句子存在逻辑上的转折关系,应用转折连词but来连接。故填but。
54.句意:随着现代社会的发展和新思潮的传播,一些传统可能会消逝,其它的传统也可能被接受。定冠词the后接名词。动词develop的名词为development。故填development。
55.句意:一个例子是中国春节燃放烟花炮竹驱鬼过年的典型风俗。结合常识,可知过年燃放烟花爆竹是为了“驱赶”鬼魂,“驱赶”是动词短语drive away。故填away。
56.C 57.B 58.E 59.F 60.D
【分析】本文是亚历克斯和辛迪的对话,他们在谈论各自的周末是怎么度过的。辛迪总是忙于学习,亚历克斯去了科技博物馆,并且建议辛迪也去那里参观。他们约好下个星期日下午一起去科技博物馆。
56.根据下文“Great. I went to the Science Museum and had a lot of fun there.”可知,此处在问你的周末过得怎么样,选项C“你的周末过得怎么样?”符合语境,故选C。
57.根据上一句“Have you ever been there before ”及下一句“I do nothing but study all the time on weekends.”可知,此处讲的是没有。选项B“不,还没有”符合语境,故选B。
58.根据上一句“ you can try something new instead”及下一句“By the way, can you tell me something about the museum ”可知,此处应该是同意对方的建议,选项E“那是一个好主意”符合语境,故选E。
59.根据上一句“It’s hard to say”可知,此处应该是有太多可说的了,选项F“有很多可看的”符合语境,故选F。

61.Possible Version One:
Smiles
A smile is the most beautiful language of human beings. A smile shows you are kind and friendly. It helps you get on well with others. It also brings good luck and makes others feel warm.
When I was in Grade6, a new student came to our class. He did badly in schoolwork. No one talked with him. He felt very lonely. When I learnt this, each time I met him, I gave him a big smile. Afterwards, he often asked me questions about study. We became good friends and he did better and better in his study. He said it was my smile that made him more confident and outgoing.
Smiles are so important to our life, so let’s try to smile more. If we smile to life, life will smile back to us.
Possible Version Two
Smiles
A smile is the most beautiful language of human beings. A smile is like the sunshine in winter. It warms our hearts and helps us get on well with each other. A person who often smiles usually brings good luck. What’s more, smiles can give us confidence.
When I was young, I was very shy. I was afraid to speak in public. One day I needed to give a speech in my English class. I was so frightened that I did badly at the beginning. But when I saw a big smile on my teacher’s face, I got more and more confident. Finally I made it.
Smiles are very helpful in our lives. We should keep smiles on our faces. If we are happy, we smile. If we meet difficulties, we should smile, too. Let’s smile to life!
