阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I am a reporter and I feel privileged to have been a witness to history being made. Every time I watch taikonauts salute as the rocket carries them thunders away and flies toward the skies, my heart beats faster and my eyes begin to moisten.
When Yang Liwei, a former fighter jet pilot, displayed the flags of China and the United Nations together during the Shenzhou V mission in 2003 and wrote, “To make use of outer space peacefully and for the benefit of all humankind, the Chinese came to outer space.” He was remembered in the history of China as the person who fulfilled the nation’s l,000-year-old dream of “flying to the heavens”.
In the years that followed, I saw Zhai Zhigang floating out of his spacecraft and waving a Chinese flag among the stars; Jing Haipeng entering China’s first space lab; Wang Yaping demonstrating the beauty of physics to 60 million students far outside the Earth’s atmosphere; and Nie Haisheng creating the China’s record for the longest stay in space.
However, few people realize how taikonauts prepare themselves to be qualified. They need to study advanced mathematics, aerodynamics, astronomy, space science and technology, English, environmental science, medicine, psychology and many other theoretical courses, all in one year, a superhuman task equal to shortening a normal college student’s four-year study plan to 12 months.
Apart from theoretical study, taikonauts must undergo a large amount of physical training. In a pressure chamber, they go through a simulated ascent from ground level to an altitude of 5,000 meters in five minutes, with all the dizziness, sickness and even shock. While training for spacewalks in a weightless environment, they wear a suit weighing over 160 kilograms and stay underwater for four hours at a time, losing two kilograms or more in each period.
I have once interviewed Huang Weifen, who is in charge of taikonauts training. ''Without exceptional perseverance, they don't make it," she said. “Our space knows no boundary, and our exploration will never end.”
21. Which of the following is correct about Yang Liwei according to the passage
A. He was remembered as the greatest taikonaut in China.
B. He thought space exploration could make the world peaceful.
C. He was the first taikonaut to realize China’s dream of flying to space.
D. He once floated out of spacecraft and displayed the flags of China and the UN.
22. What preparations do taikonauts make to be qualified
A. 12-month course study.
B. 5000-meter climbing task.
C. Two-kilogram weight loss.
D. Four-hour underwater walk.
23. Why does the author write this passage
A. To comment on taikonauts’ achievements.
B. To introduce some extraordinary taikonauts.
C. To present the huge development of China’s space exploration.
D. To praise taikonauts’ commitment to China’s space exploration.
B
Fashion designers produce all types of clothes from casual to formal, and they are sometimes involved in creating wearable products like smartwatches or accessories like hats, handbags and shoes. They also sometimes make costumes for plays and movies and can help create patterns for high-tech uniforms such as those worn by firefighters.
The greatest thrill of being a fashion designer, many of them say, has nothing to do with dressing up supermodels for grand events and watching them walk down runways wearing the clothing you designed--though that is a plus and a sign of success. What makes the job truly exciting, several designers say, is watching an everyday person smile when they put on an outfit you created that makes them feel confident.
“You can see when somebody tries something on and they fed good, it’s almost like they’re empowered,” a fashion brand founder Franne Golde says. “You know, they look in the mirror, and they love what they see.”
But what is vital for being a fashion designer “Design is all about getting to know who you are, because you have to express who you are, and you have to be able to convey that to your ultimate customer and client,” says Bern Conrad, an alumnus (校友）of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, a prestigious school that has educated world-famous fashion designers such as Calvin Klein.
The fashion designer, who has produced a significant amount of silk apparel, sportswear and knitwear over the course of his career and plans to launch a modem casual fashion line under his own name this fall, also notes that a unique perspective and a distinctive identity arc essential for being a fashion designer.
Other fashion designers emphasize that an appreciation for beauty and strong visual observation abilities are a must for future fashion designers, but they note that having a good eye is inadequate, since what counts most is the ability to manufacture clothing items that are somehow better than what is already out there.
24. What really makes being a fashion designer exciting
A. Attending grand events,
B. Appreciating the joy of success.
C. Seeing the outfits accepted by ordinary people.
D. Watching supermodels display the well-designed clothing.
25. According to the passage, a fashion designer should be ________.
A. artistic and cooperative B. creative and expressive
C. educated and productive D. observant and experienced
26. In which section of a newspaper can you find the article
A. Career. B. Society.
C. Entertainment. D. Advertisement.
C
It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families, but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood.
One of these genes MC4R makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centers, telling them how much fat we have stored- When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.
A new study, led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (变异）at MC4R. People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.
These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6,000 participants born in Bristol. Whenever a mutation was found, the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory. Based on the frequency of mutations in this study, it was estimated that around 200,000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R.
Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families - including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”
Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight. “In the longer term, knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of ding that help restore people to a healthy weight,” Stephen added.
27. What can we know about MC4R gene
A. MC4R gene affects people’s appetite negatively.
B. The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates peopled desire to eat.
C. MC4R is the only gene that contributes to peopled overweight problem.
D. Scientists discovered MC4R could influence peopled weight two decades ago.
28. What does the underlined word “excess" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Proper. B. Essential.
C. Considerable. D. Additional.
29. What can we infer from Professor Stephen’s words
A. Parents should be to blame for poor parenting.
B. The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically,
C. New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run.
D. Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obese children physically and mentally.
30. What is the passage mainly about
A Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight.
B. A discussion of British people’s overweight problems.
C. A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight.
D. The relationship between people's appetite and MC4R’s mutation.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给的情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One Saturday morning when Susan went, as usual, to Thompson’s hotel, to receive the price of her mother’s washing for the guests, which amounted to five dollars, she found the hotelkeeper in the yard.
He was apparently in a bad temper with some dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear (骂骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and then, pausing to pin the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is mine，all mine,” she murmured. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she realized that the hotelkeeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to it, as she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule — What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn’t belong to you should not be accepted.
But again the voice of temptation whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet，so it doesn’t matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

【原文】W: Welcome to Student Life! Today we’re going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience. However, it’s important to get students excited about the project, so the first thing you should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs arc Classroom Assistants, Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills! And don’t forget, you should make sure that students arc guided by a teacher so that they take their responsibilities seriously. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally, ifs important to get opinions from the students about the project, to find out which jobs are successful and which don’t go so well.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)

阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I am a reporter and I feel privileged to have been a witness to history being made. Every time I watch taikonauts salute as the rocket carries them thunders away and flies toward the skies, my heart beats faster and my eyes begin to moisten.
When Yang Liwei, a former fighter jet pilot, displayed the flags of China and the United Nations together during the Shenzhou V mission in 2003 and wrote, “To make use of outer space peacefully and for the benefit of all humankind, the Chinese came to outer space.” He was remembered in the history of China as the person who fulfilled the nation’s l,000-year-old dream of “flying to the heavens”.
In the years that followed, I saw Zhai Zhigang floating out of his spacecraft and waving a Chinese flag among the stars; Jing Haipeng entering China’s first space lab; Wang Yaping demonstrating the beauty of physics to 60 million students far outside the Earth’s atmosphere; and Nie Haisheng creating the China’s record for the longest stay in space.
However, few people realize how taikonauts prepare themselves to be qualified. They need to study advanced mathematics, aerodynamics, astronomy, space science and technology, English, environmental science, medicine, psychology and many other theoretical courses, all in one year, a superhuman task equal to shortening a normal college student’s four-year study plan to 12 months.
Apart from theoretical study, taikonauts must undergo a large amount of physical training. In a pressure chamber, they go through a simulated ascent from ground level to an altitude of 5,000 meters in five minutes, with all the dizziness, sickness and even shock. While training for spacewalks in a weightless environment, they wear a suit weighing over 160 kilograms and stay underwater for four hours at a time, losing two kilograms or more in each period.
I have once interviewed Huang Weifen, who is in charge of taikonauts training. ''Without exceptional perseverance, they don't make it," she said. “Our space knows no boundary, and our exploration will never end.”
21. Which of the following is correct about Yang Liwei according to the passage
A. He was remembered as the greatest taikonaut in China.
B. He thought space exploration could make the world peaceful.
C. He was the first taikonaut to realize China’s dream of flying to space.
D. He once floated out of spacecraft and displayed the flags of China and the UN.
22. What preparations do taikonauts make to be qualified
A. 12-month course study.
B 5000-meter climbing task.
C. Two-kilogram weight loss.
D. Four-hour underwater walk.
23. Why does the author write this passage
A. To comment on taikonauts’ achievements.
B. To introduce some extraordinary taikonauts.
C. To present the huge development of China’s space exploration.
D. To praise taikonauts’ commitment to China’s space exploration.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，文章作者以一名记者的角色，讲述了中国航天的发展简史，一名又一名宇航员成功登上了太空，取得了新的突破；接着作者讲述了航天员为取得成功，幕后所付出的艰辛，他们要学习大量的理论课程，进行近乎极限的体能训练，“没有非凡的毅力，他们不会成功。”
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段He was remembered in the history of China as the person who fulfilled the nation’s l,000-year-old dream of “flying to the heavens”（他在中国历史上被铭记，因为他实现了中华民族1000多年的“飞天梦”）可知，他是第一个实现中国飞天梦的宇航员（He was the first taikonaut to realize China’s dream of flying to space.），C选项符合原文，故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。文章第四段开始讲述宇航员的幕后故事，描述他们所做的准备，根据“However, few people realize how taikonauts prepare themselves to be qualified. They need to study…all in one year, a superhuman task equal to shortening a normal college student’s four-year study plan to 12 months.”（然而，很少有人意识到宇航员为了能够胜任，是如何准备的。他们需要在一年内完成……等许多理论课程的学习，这是一项超人般的任务，相当于把一个普通大学生四年的学习计划缩短到12个月），抓住关键词qualified（胜任的，有资格的），all in one year（一年之内）和12 months（12个月）可知，要获得宇航员的资格，能够胜任，就必须参加12个月的课程学习（12-month course study），以上关键词与题目呼应，综上本题选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求探寻作者的写作目的，纵观全文，作者先从中国航天的飞速发展，一位又一位宇航员登上太空，取得突破的卓越成就说起，接着话锋一转，第四段首句进行了过渡，“However, few people realize how taikonauts prepare themselves to be qualified.”（然而，很少有人了解到宇航员为了能够胜任，是如何准备的），接着介绍了超人般的理论课程学习和近乎极限的体能训练这两个方面，结尾处更是直接引用了“Without exceptional perseverance, they don't make it”（没有非凡的毅力，他们不会成功）作结，综合以上分析，文章的落脚点在宇航员身上，目的是讴歌赞扬中国宇航员对中国航天探索的巨大贡献（To praise taikonauts’ commitment to China’s space exploration.），综上本题选D。
B
Fashion designers produce all types of clothes from casual to formal, and they are sometimes involved in creating wearable products like smartwatches or accessories like hats, handbags and shoes. They also sometimes make costumes for plays and movies and can help create patterns for high-tech uniforms such as those worn by firefighters.
The greatest thrill of being a fashion designer many of them say, has nothing to do with dressing up supermodels for grand events and watching them walk down runways wearing the clothing you designed--though that is a plus and a sign of success. What makes the job truly exciting, several designers say, is watching an everyday person smile when they put on an outfit you created that makes them feel confident.
“You can see when somebody tries something on and they fed good, it’s almost like they’re empowered,” a fashion brand founder Franne Golde says. “You know, they look in the mirror, and they love what they see.”
But what is vital for being a fashion designer “Design is all about getting to know who you are, because you have to express who you are, and you have to be able to convey that to your ultimate customer and client,” says Bern Conrad, an alumnus (校友）of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, a prestigious school that has educated world-famous fashion designers such as Calvin Klein.
The fashion designer, who has produced a significant amount of silk apparel, sportswear and knitwear over the course of his career and plans to launch a modem casual fashion line under his own name this fall, also notes that a unique perspective and a distinctive identity arc essential for being a fashion designer.
Other fashion designers emphasize that an appreciation for beauty and strong visual observation abilities are a must for future fashion designers, but they note that having a good eye is inadequate, since what counts most is the ability to manufacture clothing items that are somehow better than what is already out there.
24. What really makes being a fashion designer exciting
A. Attending grand events,
B. Appreciating the joy of success.
C. Seeing the outfits accepted by ordinary people.
D. Watching supermodels display the well-designed clothing.
25. According to the passage, a fashion designer should be ________.
A. artistic and cooperative B. creative and expressive
C. educated and productive D. observant and experienced
26. In which section of a newspaper can you find the article
A. Career. B. Society.
C. Entertainment. D. Advertisement.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“时装设计师”这一职业的成就感来源与所需的职业素养。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“What makes the job truly exciting, several designers say, is watching an everyday person smile when they put on an outfit you created that makes them feel confident.”（几位设计师表示，这份工作真正令人兴奋的时刻在于，当你看到一个普通人穿上你设计的服装，这一身服装让他们感到自信，露出灿烂的笑容之时）可知，真正让一名时装设计师兴奋的是，看到自己所设计的服装被大众所认可、接受（Seeing the outfits accepted by ordinary people），C符合原文，注意本题题干中的关键词really与原文中的truly形成了照应，是一种同义复现，这成为本题解答的关键，综上选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的引文“Design is all about getting to know who you are, because you have to express who you are, and you have to be able to convey that to your ultimate customer and client.”（设计是关于你是谁的回答，因为你必须表达你是谁，你必须能够将其表达给你的最终顾客和客户）中的关键词express，可提炼归纳出第一种品质expressive（善于表达的）；又根据原文最后一段最后一句“but they note that having a good eye is inadequate, since what counts most is the ability to manufacture clothing items that are somehow better than what is already out there.”（但他们指出，有一双好的眼睛是不够的，因为最重要的是创造出比已有的服装款式更好的时装）可知，此处强调的是由无到有的创造能力（creative），综上分析，B符合原文，故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。本题要求推断文章出自报纸的哪一版。纵观全文内容，其围绕fashion designers（时装设计师）这一职业展开，结构清晰，分为两部分，第一部分是他们的职业成就感来源，第二部分是这一职业所需的能力，文中多次出现关键词ability，综上判断，A. Career职业，事业；B. Society社会；C. Entertainment娱乐；D. Advertisement广告，可知career是唯一契合原文主旨的，故选A。
C
It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families, but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood.
One of these genes MC4R makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centers, telling them how much fat we have stored- When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.
A new study, led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (变异）at MC4R. People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.
These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6,000 participants born in Bristol. Whenever a mutation was found, the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory. Based on the frequency of mutations in this study, it was estimated that around 200,000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R.
Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families - including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”
Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight. “In the longer term, knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of ding that help restore people to a healthy weight,” Stephen added.
27. What can we know about MC4R gene
A. MC4R gene affects people’s appetite negatively.
B. The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates peopled desire to eat.
C. MC4R is the only gene that contributes to peopled overweight problem.
D. Scientists discovered MC4R could influence peopled weight two decades ago.
28. What does the underlined word “excess" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Proper. B. Essential.
C. Considerable. D. Additional.
29. What can we infer from Professor Stephen’s words
A. Parents should be to blame for poor parenting.
B. The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically,
C. New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run.
D. Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obese children physically and mentally.
30. What is the passage mainly about
A. Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight.
B. A discussion of British people’s overweight problems.
C. A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight.
D. The relationship between people's appetite and MC4R’s mutation.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了MC4R基因突变作用于体重之上的研究，并呼吁社会公正、科学、理性对待肥胖问题。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段对MC4R基因机制的描述“When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.”（当MC4R基因不能正常发挥效用时，我们的大脑所认知的自身脂肪储存量低于我们实际储存的，这会向我们的身体发出我们正在挨饿，需要进食的信号）可知，当MC4R基因发生突变，不能再正常运作之后，会刺激人们的食欲（The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates peopled desire to eat），B选项与原文相符，故选B。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。定位到该词所在的语境，第三段最后一句“People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.”（这些携带基因突变的人从幼儿期开始就更有可能体重过高，到18岁时，他们的平均体重比普通人多了17公斤，其中，超重的大部分可能是脂肪），结合语境可知，本句一直强调的是体重过载，从greater weight到17kg heavier，这两个关键词给出了提示。结合四个选项，A. Proper适当的；B. Essential必不可少的，基本的；C. Considerable相当重要的；D. Additional额外的。语境中的this excess weight（这种……的体重）指代的就是上面所提的超重，故仅有additional的推断符合语境，选择D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。解答本题需先到原文第五段找出该教授所说的话，其中“Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families - including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”（我们的研究结果应该鼓励对超重儿童及其家人采取更加有同情心和科学合理的方法——包括对所有严重肥胖儿童进行基因分析），据此推断，教授所持的学术观点应是，肥胖问题应该被公正、科学地对待（The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically），故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文内容，首段先通过科学家的发现来引入，特定基因的改变会对我们的体重产生非常大的影响（changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood），从第二段开始，开始出现关键词MC4R，详细介绍了其突变，是如何通过作用于食欲进而导致肥胖的，第三段中更是直接点出这些携带基因突变的人从幼儿期开始就更有可能体重过高（People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood），第四段具体介绍了人群中MC4R基因的携带情况，第五段则借教授之口呼吁我们应科学公正对待肥胖问题，最后一段则延伸开去，虽然MC4R基因是一个引人注目的例子，但这只是许多影响我们体重的基因之一（Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight.），因此，全文是关于MC4R基因突变对体重影响的研究（A study about the effect of MC4R s mutation on weight.），关键词是effect（作用，影响）、MC4R和weight（体重），综上C符合题意，故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了在新冠疫情肆虐之下，“虚拟旅行”的兴起。
56题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：出国旅行被认为是令人兴奋且有教育意义的。分析句子，主语是动名词，属于抽象事物而非人，与consider（认为）构成被动关系，应用被动语态，且动名词作主语，视为第三人称单数，句子语境为一般现在时，综上填is considered。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：你不仅可以学习新的语言，品尝当地美食，还可以欣赏一些世界上最美丽的艺术和建筑。固定搭配have a taste of是“品尝……”，使用介词of，故填of。
【58题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：自冠状病毒大流行以来，旅行变得相当困难。新冠开始大流行的时间是过去，且结合所学知识，主句为现在完成时，since引导的从句用一般过去时，综上填went。
【59题详解】
考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意：在第一次封锁的早期，博物馆、剧院和动物园开始举办“虚拟之旅”，通过高速的互联网连接将展览和表演带入人们的客厅。分析句子结构，谓语动词为started，设空处为非谓语动词，且与主语构成主动关系，结合语境句意，可用现在分词作伴随状语，故填bringing。
【60题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：据《福布斯》报道，“虚拟旅行”一词在谷歌上的搜索量在2020年2月达到了1300次。分析句子结构，谓语动词为reached（达到），前面部分为主语，故search在此处作可数名词，表示“搜索量”，根据数字1300，可知应用复数，故填searches。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：在第一次封锁开始的那年3月，人数增加到大约1万人。修饰整个句子，应用副词，approximate的副词形式为approximately（近似地，大约），在句中做状语，故填approximately。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：目前，阻止人们出国的疫情仍在世界各地肆虐。分析句子结构，谓语is前为主语部分，主语的中心语为the pandemic（疫情），其后接定语从句，修饰先行词the pandemic，先行词在从句中作主语，这是一种事物，故用关系代词which或that指代并引导定语从句，综上填which或that。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，如果你想在悉尼欣赏现场音乐会，漫步在北京繁华拥挤的小巷，亦或是看看罗马壮丽的喷泉，你可以进行一次虚拟城市之旅，尽情探索。根据语境，后面所列举的三种情境是一种想象或假设，并非真实发生，故可用if（如果）引导条件状语从句，综上本题填if。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：因此，如果你想在悉尼欣赏现场音乐会，漫步在北京繁华拥挤的小巷，亦或是看看罗马壮丽的喷泉，你可以进行一次虚拟城市之旅，尽情探索。修饰名词alleys（小巷）应用形容词crowded（拥挤的），故填crowded。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：句意：因此，如果你想在悉尼欣赏现场音乐会，漫步在北京繁华拥挤的小巷，亦或是看看罗马壮丽的喷泉，你可以进行一场虚拟城市之旅，尽情探索。根据“进行一场虚拟城市之旅”中的“一场”，且virtual发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给的情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One Saturday morning when Susan went, as usual, to Thompson’s hotel, to receive the price of her mother’s washing for the guests, which amounted to five dollars, she found the hotelkeeper in the yard.
He was apparently in a bad temper with some dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear (骂骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and then, pausing to pin the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is mine，all mine,” she murmured. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she realized that the hotelkeeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to it, as she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule — What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn’t belong to you should not be accepted.
But again the voice of temptation whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet，so it doesn’t matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
paragraph 2
The hotelkeeper looked at Susan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped. As she crossed the little bridge over the narrow stream, her eyes fell upon a bench where her mother and she occupied and had lengthy conversations. The Golden Rule her mother shared then popped into her mind. Ultimately, it was good that defeated evil in this conflict. Turning suddenly around, she hastened along the road with breathless speed until she found herself once more at the hotel’s gate. Glimpsing Susan again at his side, the hotelkeeper asked impatiently, “What do you want this time ” “Sir, um... you paid me two bills, instead of one,” Susan murmured, trembling in every limb.
The hotelkeeper looked at Susan. His eyebrows rose in absolute astonishment. A few seconds later, realizing what had happened, he stretched out his hand and tapped Susan on the shoulder gently, his face splitting into a wide smile, “Keep it! The other bill is for you as the present of your honesty.” “No, sir, thank you,” Susan blurted out. “I do not want to be paid for doing right.” Desperate to tell her mother what she had done, Susan waved goodbye to the hotelkeeper and returned to her humble home with a lightened heart. Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life.
【解析】
