（2021·全国·高考真题）When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
34. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A. He gave up his hobby. B. He felt disappointed.
C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.
35. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A. Be careful! B. No way! C. Well done! D. Don’t worry!
36. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A. To relive his childhood days B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks. D. To join the skateboarding.
37. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Children should learn a second language.
B. Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C. Seeing the world is a must for children.
D. Children need a sense of belonging

（2021 上·高二单元测试）With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it’s a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”
And what does Nick think “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it Yes, I think I would.”
It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband’s family when they get married.
38. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol
A. Rita. B. Nick. C. Kathryn D. The daughters.
39. What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law
A. Unwilling. B. Carefree. C. Tolerant. D. Positive.
40. What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on
A. Family traditions. B. Published statistics. C. Financial reports. D. Public opinions.
41. What is the text mainly about
A. Lifestyles in different countries. B. Conflicts between generations.
C. A rising trend of living in the UK. D. A housing problem in Britain.
D
（2020·海南·高考真题）Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.
Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.
Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.
They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.
42. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph
A. They produce oxygen. B. They are rich in wildlife.
C. They are well managed. D. They cover a vast area.
43. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests
A. Big trees. B. Heavy rains C. Small plants. D. Forest animals.
44. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other
A. For more sunlight. B. For more growing space.
C. For the detection of insects. D. For self-protection.
45. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Weather in Rainforests B. The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D. Life-Giving Rainforests
七选五
（2020·全国·高考真题）A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 46 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.
47 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.
48 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 49
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 50 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm.
A. This isn’t usual though.
B. It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C. If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place.
D. It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
E. You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
F. This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.
G. The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.

In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写第一段，（第二段已给出）使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Yoghurt （酸奶）
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
注意：
1. 只写第一段，注意衔接句和常用句型的使用；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. ________________________________________________

On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonful of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.

5. 倡议信（20 分）（请背诵以下答案）
In order to improve the students’ reading interest and encourage everyone to form the habit of reading, November is regarded as the Reading Month in our school, whose theme is Read A Good Book. It’s widely known that reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body(water is to fish). As far as I’m concerned, we should attach importance to it and take active part in it.
To start with, we are supposed to raise our awareness of reading and make our efforts to read everyday, which is of great help to see and think clearly. Moreover, it is also very important to read a good book, because reading a good book is like making a good friend. In terms of the recommended book, The Story of the Stone by Cao Xueqin would top my list. The book is not only a masterpiece of realism written in middle of the 18th century, but also a great combination of Chinese history, culture, arts and traditions. Please keep in mind that reading everyday should be part of our daily life.
Dear friends, it's high time that we should take action now and I call on every student to seize the chance as the first step to start your reading exploration.

参考答案：（请背诵以下答案）
Paragraph 1:
With a surprise on his face, he looked into my eyes and asked me why I gave the man so much money. Seeing his puzzled look, I patted him on his shoulder and told him that the man was homeless and didn’t have anything to eat. His face lit up when he heard what I said. He took a deep breath and gathered the courage, asking, “Could I give him my yoghurt.”(asking if he could give the man his yoghurt.) Surprised and delighted , I said of course to him and gave him a big hug. Never had I thought that he could be so generous. Then Peter took his yogurt out of the bag in the back seat and handed it to the man, along with his winter hat. Moved to tears, the man failed to say a word and gave him a big smile. With a smile on his face, my son said goodbye to him and asked me to drive home.
【分析】本篇书面表达为读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读可知，本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一位单身母亲，有一个八岁的儿子。有一周，气温骤降，油价上涨，作者和儿子生活拮据，作者想尽办法降低消费，而儿子却想要喝一种作者看来时浪费钱的酸奶。看着儿子渴望的眼神，作者改变计划给他买了酸奶，但是回家路上，作者发现路边有一位需要帮助的老人，作者伸出援手，给了老人一张 5 美元的钞票。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：My son said suddenly, “I thought you didn’t have any money to spare, Mom.”(儿子突然说：“妈妈，我以为你没有多余的钱了。”)所以应该写作者针对儿子的疑惑而作出的解释，同时，应该讲述儿子受到作者善良的感染，作出了暖心的举动，比如把酸奶送给老人，以及老人给与的反应；第二段开头是：On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. (那天，我儿子做了一件大多数成年人不会做的事。) 本段应该作者对于儿子举动的感触，比如，身为人母的言行对于孩子的影响等。
