Christmas 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33-year-old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then her car stopped working. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.
“When it broke down, so did I,” Lee said.“Now I don’t have my baby and now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives ”
Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic (修理工) who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used-cars. He’d heard about Lee’s situation from her nephew McClary, the mayor of Andrews, South Carolina. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up unannounced at Lee’s home with a gift: a white 1993 Oldsmobile.
“I had no idea what was going on,” said Lee. “ He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.”Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class.“I got my freedom back.”
The idea for the used-car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles to get there because they didn’t have cars.
Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina. There’s no public transportation and no taxis to get people around. So he offered to trade his restaurant’s specialty for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than 100 cars in various states of disrepair. Many sit in Middleton’s yard waiting to be repaired and donated, usually to those he’s heard about through word of mouth. It’s a list of names that grows daily.
“People think Middleton is a good and kind man,” Mayor McClary said. “And I do too.”
4. Why was Christmas 2020 a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee
A She lost her battle with an illness. B. She suffered misfortune twice.
C. She couldn’t pick up her granddaughters. D. She had no money to fix her car.
5. What can be learned about Middleton
A. He deals in used-cars. B. He offers food for free.
C. He has a heart of gold. D. He knows Lee very well.
6 How does Middleton get broken-down vehicles
A. By exchanging food. B. Through a food drive.
C. By appealing to friends. D. Through word of mouth.
7. What’s Mayor McClary’s attitude towards Middleton
A. Critical. B. Grateful.
C. Respectful. D. Skeptical.

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually .The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
8. Why does the author like rereading
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B. It’s a window to a whole new world.
C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
9. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C. It’s a record of a historic event.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
10. What does the underlined word ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt
B Reward.
C. Allowance.
D. Face value.
11. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry.
B. He’s an editor.
C. He’s very ambitious.
D. He teaches reading.
D
No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.
People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.
Can’t we resist buying snacks The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.
Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.
Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1
A. List some reasons. B. Introduce the topic.
C. Put up an argument. D. Raise a question.
13. What can we know from the survey
A. One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.
B. Many people knew how many snacks they ate.
C. No one knew the calories the snacks contained.
D. Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.
14. What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text
A. The food environment. B. Living conditions.
C. Consumption ability. D. Supermarket management.
15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A. A packet of crisps contains many calories
B. People can resist the temptation of snacks
C. The harm of snacks is beyond your imagination
D. 2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey

Theme park getaways are popular with families, but they sure aren’t cheap. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to pretty much every theme park, and they can help you chip away at the cost of tickets. _____16_____.
●Buy tickets online.
Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. _____17_____.You're guaranteed to save a significant sum-sometimes as much as $$ 20 per ticket-even for same-day tickets.
●Buy in advance.
___18___.For instance, Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, slices off $$25 per ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.
● _____19_____.
This one is a universal no-brainer. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays. But the big bonus is that lines will be much shorter, allowing you to spend less time waiting in lines and more time having fun.
●Go in the afternoon.
___20___.For example, Hersheypark’s sunset tickets allow entry after 4 pm or 5 pm, depending on the day. You'll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you'll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.
A. Avoid weekends.
B. Buy more tickets than you need.
C. Here are some ways to lower your theme park spending.
D. At larger parks, you’ll save money when you buy a package.
E. Instead, visit the theme park website and print out your tickets before you go.
F. Some parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.
G. Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.

I’d love to share with you my personally opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grow up in a small town and then moved to a big city at 18 so I have experienced the good and bad side of both. I never thought that I would enjoy live in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living on one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities all have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car make life comfortable. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheap than driving. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and another wonderful shows. However, these things are not rare in small towns.

Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina. There’s no public transportation and no taxis to get people around. So he offered to trade his restaurant’s specialty for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than 100 cars in various states of disrepair. Many sit in Middleton’s yard waiting to be repaired and donated, usually to those he’s heard about through word of mouth. It’s a list of names that grows daily.
“People think Middleton is a good and kind man,” Mayor McClary said. “And I do too.”

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually .The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
8. Why does the author like rereading
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B. It’s a window to a whole new world.
C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
9. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C. It’s a record of a historic event.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
10. What does the underlined word ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt
B. Reward.
C. Allowance.
D. Face value.
11. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry.
B. He’s an editor.
C. He’s very ambitious.
D. He teaches reading.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重新阅读的意义和益处并向读者介绍了作者每年重读的三本书。作者鼓励读者去重新阅读书籍。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.(但是书没变，人变了。那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处)”和第二段“The beauty of rereading lies in that our bond with the work is based on our present register. It is true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings.(重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理状态。真的，我年纪越大，就越觉得时光飞逝。)”可推知，作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对自己的理解。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.”及“an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time”可知，这本书出版于1964年，这是他关于20世纪20年代在巴黎的经典回忆录，是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾。由此可判断出A Movable Feast是关于海明威年轻时的生活。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary,(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)”可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”意为“但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报”，由此判断出划线词的意思是“回报”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The third book is Julio Cortázar’s Save Twilight: selected poems, because poetry.(第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城: 诗歌精选》，因为诗歌)”可知，作者是由于喜欢诗歌而喜欢这本书。故选A项。

No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.
People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.
Can’t we resist buying snacks The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.
Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.
Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.

A. One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.
B. Many people knew how many snacks they ate.

What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.(没有人能抵抗零食的诱惑。但与此同时，你可能低估了一份零食所含的卡路里。如果你每天吃一包薯片会发生什么 每天多吃一包薯片会导致体重增加6磅。据《泰晤士报》报道，一年后体重达到35公斤。)”和第二段的“A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have.(一项针对约2000名成年人的调查发现，约四分之三的人低估了轻微减少可能带来的影响。)”可知，第一段介绍了人们爱吃零食，但是低估了零食的热量，从而引出下文关于人们可能低估了零食所含的卡路里介绍，因此推断作者打算在第一段引出文章主题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二自然段“One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. (十分之一的人认为每天减少200卡路里不会影响体重。同时，许多人似乎不知道零食中到底有多少卡路里。)”可知，调查发现很多人缺乏对零食的危害的认识。故选D。

Theme park getaways are popular with families, but they sure aren’t cheap. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to pretty much every theme park, and they can help you chip away at the cost of tickets. _____16_____.
●Buy tickets online.
Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. _____17_____.You're guaranteed to save a significant sum-sometimes as much as $$ 20 per ticket-even for same-day tickets.
●Buy in advance.
___18___.For instance, Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, slices off $$25 per ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.
● _____19_____.
This one is a universal no-brainer. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays. But the big bonus is that lines will be much shorter, allowing you to spend less time waiting in lines and more time having fun.
●Go in the afternoon.
___20___.For example, Hersheypark’s sunset tickets allow entry after 4 pm or 5 pm, depending on the day. You'll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you'll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.
A. Avoid weekends.
B. Buy more tickets than you need.
C. Here are some ways to lower your theme park spending.
D. At larger parks, you’ll save money when you buy a package.

18题详解】
根据此段标题“Buy in advance.”（提前买票）。选项G.“Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.”（如果你至少在到达前几天买票的话，大多数主题公园都提供折扣。）此处“you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive”和本段标题“Buy in advance”意义一致。故选G项。
【19题详解】
设空处为本段的主题句。根据本部分“Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio,are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays.”（俄亥俄州桑达斯基的Cedar point 的单日票价，比周六周日的票价低了30% 。）可知工作日的票价比周末更便宜，所以要避免周末去，选项A.“Avoid weekends.”（避免周末）符合主题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
本段标题“Go in the afternoon.”（下午去）同时结合文章开始部分提到的，本文的建议可以让你节省钱，可知下午去会更便宜，所以接下来的内容应给承接前文，讲述下午去会如何让你节省钱。选项F.“Some parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.”（一些公园为晚些时候到达的游客提供大幅折扣票。）与本段标题意义一致，故选F项。

【41题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：美丽的漓江是最著名的旅游目的地之一，但旅游业的发展对漓江的水质产生了负面影响。结合空格前的“one of”可知使用形容词最高级修饰名词短语tourist destinations。故填most famous。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：美丽的漓江是最著名的旅游目的地之一，但旅游业的发展对漓江的水质产生了负面影响。结合空格前的the，可知填入名词，在句中作主语，且为不可数名词。故填growth。
【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查定语从句引导词。句意：漓江的水质受到越来越多游客的影响，其中许多人经常向漓江扔垃圾。空格处填入定语从句引导词，和空格前的of一起构成“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是tourists，在介词of后作宾语，指人用whom。故填whom。

【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些化学物质导致了严重的水质问题，导致鱼类种类的数量。句子谓语动词是led to且无连词，空格处填入非谓语动词，These chemicals和cause之间是主动关系，用现在分词作结果状语，表示顺其自然的结果。故填causing。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最后，采取了一系列紧急措施来恢复河流的原始美。结合短语take steps to do sth.“采取措施做某事”，可知空格处填入动词不定式作目的状语。故填to restore。
【50题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：人们相信漓江的美丽将世世代代保存下来。句子陈述事实，用一般现在时，使用句型it is believed that，意为“人们相信”，it和believe之间是被动关系，it作形式主语，that从句是真正的主语从句。故填is believed。

I’d love to share with you my personally opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grow up in a small town and then moved to a big city at 18, so I have experienced the good and bad side of both. I never thought that I would enjoy live in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living on one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities all have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car make life comfortable. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheap than driving. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and another wonderful shows. However, these things are not rare in small towns.
【答案】1. personally → personal
2. grow → grew
3. side → sides
4. live → living
5. on → in
6. all → both
7. make前加to
8. cheap → cheaper
9 another → other
10. 去掉not
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇论说文。文章主要讲述了作者对于城市生活和小城镇生活的看法。
【详解】1. 考查形容词。句意：我想和你分享我个人对城市生活和小城镇生活的看法。修饰名词opinions用形容词形式。故将personally改为personal。
2. 考查时态。句意：我在一个小镇长大，18岁搬到大城市，所以我经历了两者好的一面和坏的一面。根据and后的moved可知，本句为并列谓语，所以grow用一般过去时。故将grow改为grew。
3. 考查名词的数。句意：我在一个小镇长大，18岁搬到大城市，所以我经历了两者好的一面和坏的一面。根据“the good and bad”和“of both”可知，side应该是复数形式。故将side改为sides。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我从没想过我会喜欢住在大城市，但我错了。enjoy之后用动名词担当宾语。enjoy doing sth.喜欢做某事。故将live改为living。
5. 考查介词。句意：在城市生活十年之后，我无法想象再住在小城镇里会是什么样子。one代指a city，其前用介词in。故将on改为in。
6. 考查代词。句意：当然，小城镇和大城市在交通方面都有一些问题。代词all和both，all指的是三者以及三者以上的都；both指的是两者的都。这里towns和cities是两者，用both。故将all改为both。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意：在小镇上，你必须拥有一辆车才能让生活舒适。非谓语动词担当目的状语用动词不定式形式。故在make前加to。
8. 考查形容词比较级。句意：大城市通常交通拥挤，停车费昂贵，但在那里你可以选择乘坐公共交通工具，这比开车便宜。根据than可知，其前的cheap用比较级。故将cheap改为cheaper。
9. 考查代词。句意：我总能欣赏到许多电影、音乐会和其他精彩的演出。根据上文的“a lot of films, concerts”下文的“shows”可知，这里指的是“其他的演出”，another后跟名词单数，other后跟名词复数。故将another改为other。
10. 考查副词。句意：然而，这些事情在小城镇很少见。根据however可知，小镇不常有电影、音乐会以及精彩的演出，所以not多余。故去掉not。
