“Don’t quit that trip,” Mom said anxiously, as I tried to find the flight route through my tears. Doctors had just informed us that she had a deadly disease. My husband and I were set to leave for Cuba the next morning. As we boarded the airport shuttle, she said, “Don’t cry Jackie, try to have a good time, and bring me back a good CD. I’ll be here when you get back.”
That was Dec.31, 2019. She passed away on Feb.11, 2020. Looking through photos from our trip and listening to music gave her some of her final smiles. For the rest of my days, I’ll be reminded of the way she found joy in other people’s experiences and happiness.
When I was about 5, out shopping with my mom, I led her to the next passage, and cheerfully shouted, “Mom, look at this cute little lady!” That was an adult woman not much bigger than me. Instead of making me apologize to the woman straight away, she calmly said, “Jackie.” When I looked up to catch her eyes, she tugged on her right ear, which was a signal for “I will explain this to you when we get home.”
I remember when I was 8, my friend and I were going to play basketball through our local team. We were the only two girls on the team, but after the first game, my friend gave up. I didn’t want to become the only girl on the team so I wanted to give up. But my mom explained: You made a promise to the team; you need to stick it out for the season.
When I see the parents in my life filled with stress over keeping up with appearances and modern trends, I want to tell them to remember it’s them that their children will remember when they’re gone. Who they are, what they taught, and how they taught it. That’s what will outlive them in the hearts and minds of their children.
24. What made Mom smile in her darkest hour
A. Finding happiness from her daughter’s happy experiences.
B. Remembering joy from your own past.
C. Making good preparations for a trip.
D. Listening to good CD music about her daughter’s trip.
25. What did Mom do when Jackie was impolite to a lady
A. Recommending her to apologize to the lady at once.
B. Signaling to her to wait for an explanation at home.
C. Asking her to keep silent right away.
D. Beating her immediately for her bad manners.
26. What did Mom teach Jackie when she wanted to leave the team
A. One should keep one’s promise in life.
B. One has to be careful enough.
C. One needs to do his best.
D. One should never lose his confidence.
27.Which of the following will be the writer agree with
A. Keeping children following the modern trends.
B. Providing children with good conditions.
C. Teaching children personally at home.
D. Impressing being yourself on children.
C
Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and the planet. If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, each year more than 11 million early deaths could be prevented.
Scientists say that the way we produce and eat food is very bad for the planet. For the health of the planet, they claim the new diet would reduce greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet, a health journal. It included 37 experts from 16 countries.
Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London, co-led the research. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong.” He added that the world’s population was expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050. “If we want to feed everyone,” he explained, “we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”
So, what do you eat on the planetary health diet The scientists who created this diet say it is largely plant-based but still has small amounts of dairy (奶制品), fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting red meat and sugar by 50 percent and doubling the number of nuts, fruit, vegetables and beans.
Food situations around the world are not equal. In certain areas, this would mean great changes. People in North America, for example, eat 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat. On the other hand, people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the planetary health diet.
The scientists admit their goal will be difficult to achieve. But for them doing nothing is also not an option. Willet said, “If we can’t quite make it, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”
28. How will the planetary health diet save more lives
A. By offering enough food to people on the planet.
B. By saving more land, water and animals.
C. By helping to control population growth.
D. By improving food production and reducing food waste.
29. Which will be close to the planetary health diet
A. Nuts, fish, milk and vegetables.
B. Much sugar, beans, fruit and meat.
C. Vegetables, nuts, meat and sugary drinks.
D. Red meat, sugar, less milk and nuts.
30. Which of the following is the best title
A. The growing number of world population.
B. Food situations around the world.
C. Reducing greenhouse gases.
D. Healthy diet connected with the planet.
31. Where is the passage taken from
A. Travel brochure. B. Art magazine.
C. Science report. D. Short stories.
D
Jessica, a 26-year-old Spanish traveler, arrived in Peru in March, 2020, ready to climb the old Inca trail to Machu Picchu when a terrible disease struck Peru on March 16, the day Jessica was supposed to start hiking.
She decided to hang around for a few weeks, in hopes that it would reopen. She considered taking a flight back home to Spain, but found it to be very expensive. Days turned into weeks, which turned into months, and still Jessica waited.
She made the best of her time. She rented a small flat in the town and passed the time taking daily yoga classes, teaching local children how to box, and studying for various fitness and sports nutrition certification exams.
This fit nicely into her goal of learning boxing skills in various countries around the world before opening her own gym back home in Spain. She’d already spent time coaching in boxing gyms in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, and Kenya, before arriving in Peru.
Eventually, Jessica’s patience paid off. On October 11, she was lucky enough to visit Machu Picchu and allowed to enter the ancient site. These magnificent, awe-inspiring, ancient wonders of the world are worth waiting and fighting for. It’s the good example of slow travel, travel so slow, in fact. She didn’t even go anywhere except to the village at the foot of the Andean mountains.
But this kind of slow travel is missing in today’s era of high-speed travel. We’ve grown used to buying cheap flights, sitting for a few hours in airplanes that zip around the globe, and place us in distant lands, where we rush around in a crowd of tourists as scheduled, ticking landmarks off a list before hopping back on the plane and rushing home.
Jessica’s adventure reminds me of historic modes of travel, when some people had to take a multi-month sea voyage in order to visit the continents far away. This built up the expectation, made the travelers get used to their destinations slowly, and opened doors for many new, unusual, and unplanned surprises along the way.
It’s how I wish I could travel.
32. Why didn’t Jessica return home after the terrible disease
A. Because she waited for the reopening of the city.
B. Because she had to take daily yoga classes.
C. Because she must coach in boxing gyms.
D. Because she couldn’t afford the flight ticket.
33. How was Jessica’s travelling in Machu Picchu
A. Impressive. B. Tough. C. Frightening D. Moving.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Time waits for no man. B. No pains, no gains.
C. Hard work will pay off in time. D. Better late than never.
35. What’s the writer’s attitude to “slow travel”
A. Uninterested. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Disappointed.
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。
Society can seem glued to their cellphones with seemingly endless streams of tweets, Instagram photos and Facebook feeds. 36 It’s important that we connect, share and learn with social media, but it’s also important that we do these things responsibly.
Think about future possible influence of what you post. What we post never truly goes away on the Internet, so it’s important to take a second look at why we are posting something. Many times we take a picture, write a clever caption and then click “post” without thinking of the future possible influence of what we post. 37
Make sure you’re following trustworthy news sources. In the age of “fake news” we are covered with hundreds of news stories every day, some real some not so real. Make sure the news sources you’re following are either checked or have reliable and fact-checking reporters with good reputations (名声). 38 Make sure you have all of the facts straight before you share or comment on a story.
39 On average, we spend 2 hours and 22 minutes on social media every day. Taking down the time we spend on each of our social media apps can be a helpful way to better understand how much time we are spending staring at our cellphones or ipads. If you feel that you’re spending too much time looking through Facebook or Instagram, consider setting limits for yourself.
Understand you’re often seeing highlight reels (精彩片段集锦). Many people share their achievements and milestones on social media, and that’s a great thing! Sharing our successes because we’re proud and want to show that to the world can make us feel good. 40 It’s easy to compare ourselves to others, especially when we are going through tough times. But remember everyone goes through ups and downs and social media doesn’t always describe that exactly.
A. Make sure not to believe everything you read at first sight.
B. Pay attention to the time you’re taking on social media.
C. Avoid always reading things on social media.
D. However, nobody’s life is as perfect as it may seem on social media.
E. Think twice about why you are posting something and its influence.
F. Social media is most popular in the lives of younger generations.
G. We are impressed deeply by social media in our everyday lives.

W: How was the race going last Sunday
M: Great! The rain didn’t make much difference to the race.
W: How many students competed in it
M: Well, let me see. I believe that we had 25 competitors from the Middle East and 15 from Africa.
(Text 4)
W: Well, I think there are too many exams. Our kids are under too much stress at school.
M: That’s exactly what I think. There should be more learning rather than testing. We should talk with the teacher about it at the parent-teacher meeting.
(Text 5)
W: Well, all your tests are clear, so it seems you have now completely returned to health. How are you feeling
M: Much stronger, but I still get headaches now and then.

M: Thanks for your advice.
(Text 6)
W: I feel terrible. I need to relax. Do you know any good ways to fight stress
M: Yeah, in fact, lemon tea makes you feel more relaxed. And also, you should eat low stress food like apples and grapes and eat more vegetables.
W: Sounds very strange. I guess hamburgers and French fries cause stress, right
M: Yeah. Hamburgers are high stress food.
W: Well, I guess I need to change my diet.
(Text 7)
W: It’s great that you’re coming to visit us at last, Mark.
M: Yeah. After communicating by email for so long, it will be good to meet.

M: OK. Tell Sam I’ve got dark hair— it’s quite short—and dark eyes. I’m quite slim and not very tall.
W: All right. You’ll have your mobile anyway. I’ll give you his number.
M: All right.
(Text 8)
M: Who’s your latest friend
W: Oh, my newest friend is Linda who is a wonderful woman that I met at the theatre standing in line for the ladies’ room. We were waiting there and we started to talk, and we both loved what we were seeing, and we went out for coffee after the film. We’ve gone out for dinner several times. We’re planning to take a camping trip this summer together.
M: What do you have in common
W: We’ve a lot in common. We both like travelling and playing sports. And we have similar taste in movies and plays. She doesn’t like cooking, me either.
(Text 9)
W: Do you realise that we’ve known each other for three years
M: Has it been that long
W: Yeah. And I remember when I ran into you, I was on my way to the school lab for an experiment. We hadn’t known each other before then even if we’d studied in the same school.
M: Yeah. And where have you been these days
W: I went to Australia for a holiday.
M: How long did you stay there
W: Ten days, exactly. But I’d like to stay for longer next time, say two weeks or a month. Hey, do you know Mike
M: Yes. He was in the same school as us.
W: Well, Mike said he’d be spending his vacation next month here in New York. How about a get-together party
M: That’s a wonderful idea! And we can call Peter.
W: Well, he just found a new job and his boss asked him to deal with the network this summer, and he really can’t get away.
M: Oh, that’s a pity. But we can visit him some day.
(Text 10)
W: There are many interesting stories about how a baby learns to say its first word. Now, Mark, would you like to share your story with us
M: OK. Here’s my story. was about eighteen months old, I think, and I had just started saying my first word. Every time a truck went by I would shout a word that sounded like “truck”. But to everyone else, it sounded nothing like it. My parents tried to correct me, but failed. Then... about three months later, we travelled to New York. As we were waiting for our plane at the airport, I saw the largest truck in the world! I had to tell someone about this! I turned to my father and shouted, “Truck! Truck!!” My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited and I kept shouting my special word. My poor mother pretended not to know this baby and ran into the ladies’ room, where she hid until I finally stopped. Well. I learned how to say “truck” correctly, and soon I was talking well compared to other children. However, my parents will never forget the very first word I produced in my life.

Dear peter,
Glad to know from your e-mail that you are viewing the Terracotta Army in Xi’an, I’m writing to share with you some details.
The Terracotta Army, one of the greatest discoveries of 20th century, was built as part of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. It is widely recognized by some researchers that each statue is a copy of a real soldier. By the way, I’d like to recommend you take some clothes suitable for winter to keep you warm. More importantly, travelling responsibly will make a difference to the attraction. Welcome to experience the shock with your own eyes. And wish you a pleasant journey.
Yours,
Li Hua
