Today we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion (蝎子) that somehow got into the house.
My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because “girls can’t deal with that thing”.
My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged (耸肩)and said,“Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs (虫子).” So my husband called her over and told her, “You never have to be afraid of anything because you’re a girl. You’re just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I’m proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You’re very smart.”
He held the scorpion’s tail, adding, “As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can’t do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There’re women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them.” She got so excited at the thought of woman being able to do things a man can do.
At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination. Alice asked if she could hold it. Then my husband put it on her hands. She was so proud of herself that she talked about it until she went to sleep.

You may have heard about Amadeus Mozart, a classical composer from the 18th century. But have you ever heard about the Mozart effect
The Mozart effect first came to be known to the public in 1993. A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. Another study also examined the long-term effects of Mozart on the brains of kids. A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.
As a result of these studies, the popularity of Mozart’s music has grown. Some schools in the US started to play Mozart to children, and it even led the southern state of Georgia to provide babies with free Mozart CDs. And the findings further showed the importance of music in the cognitive development of children.
Now we know the Mozart effect shows playing Mozart benefits brain development. But how does that happen The classical music pathways in the brain and the neural (神经的) trails we use for spatial reasoning are quite alike. When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.
As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills.
28. What can we learn about children listening to Mozart’s music
A. They show great interest in creating music.
B. They could perform spatial tasks better.
C. They find his music difficult to understand.
D. They could hold their attention much longer.
29. The author introduces the Mozart effect mainly by ________.
A. explaining data B. stating arguments
C. providing research results D. analyzing experts’ words
30. Why is classical music beneficial to brain development
A. It makes the mind calm and clear.
B. It fixed some damage to neural trails.
C. It helps awaken some hidden memories.
D. It causes the brain’s spatial pathways to start to work.
31. What are parents advised to do to help their children be smart adults
A. Train children to form good learning habits.
B. Develop an interest in music themselves.
C Perform music with children as much as possible.
D. Get children to start music lessons early on.
D
On Saturday night, a five-person team of the Chinese e-sports club, with the full name EDward Gaming, won the 2021 League of Legends World Championship in Reykjavik , Iceland , beating defending champion Damwon KIA (DK) from South Korea. The live streaming of the championship had over 200 million viewers on two major domestic smartphone apps and other channels.
The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world. At the beginning of the championship, the members of EDG and other staff displayed tai chi, martial arts and traditional Chinese costumes in Reykjavik, launching a “Chinese hurricane” in the Icelandic capital. Now the posting of photos and videos on social networks have spread that hurricane to the whole world.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are of the hottest. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world.
Also e-sports appeal most to those in their early 20s, as shown by the carnival of college students on Saturday night. That in turn makes them a good bridge of communication between Chinese youngsters and their counterparts (同行) around the world. More importantly, the e-sports industry is sustainable (可持续的) in spreading Chinese culture, as the large audiences mean huge commercial potential. In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in turn created over 10 million jobs.
As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. Both show the strong policy support being given to e-sports.
With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.
32. What can we know from the news report
A. E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.
B. The number of the viewers around the world reached over 200 million.
C. There was a severe hurricane in Reykjavik, Iceland on Saturday night.
D. EDward Gaming has won the LoL World Championship twice on end.
33. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate
A. E-sports appealed to people of all ages.
B. 2020 witnessed a turning point of e-sports.
C. E-sports gave birth to many new companies.
D. E-sports boosted economic development.
34. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph
A. The first international E-sports centre was built in 2019.
B. E-sports enjoyed great popularity in Hainan and Zhejiang.
C. E-sports received official support from the authorities.
D. E-sports were first listed as events in the Asian Games.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the e-sports industry
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Friday the 13th of March, my six-year-old son Jack came home with a huge packet of worksheets in his schoolbag. Soon after, I received the email I had feared was coming-Jack’s school would be closed for at least the next two weeks. The COVID-19 quarantine (隔离期) had begun. At least now I would know he was safe at home. I spent the weekend gathering supplies such as pencils, crayons and paper and setting up a classroom on my dining room table.
On the first day of what was referred to as "distance learning", I realized I was being overly optimistic, and I only had one child to teach. He suffers from hearing loss and wears hearing aids. In school, he receives special services from a teacher of the deaf, a speech therapist (治疗专家)，an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. In addition to his major classes, there was also his music class, art class, computer education, the library, and physical education. I was suddenly ten teachers all at the same time, and the work began piling up!
Although my job as a freelance (自由职业的) writer allows me to work according to my own schedule, I would normally work when Jack was at school. Now that time was taken up with school days at home. This meant I was teaching for most of the day and then working as a writer all afternoon into the evening. Many days didn’t stop until bedtime, and then we were right back at it the next morning. This was the new normal and it was stressful. More than once, I found myself feeling angry for no particular reason. On one occasion. I shouted angrily at my printer simply because it wouldn’t work properly.
One day, I was helping Jack with a short journal. As part of his class worksheets, he was required to write and draw about the interesting things that happened at home. I secretly cheered at the opportunity to apply my professional skills to my son’s education.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I told him all the things I knew about story writing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank.

She was born on a farm in New York, one of five boys and five girls. At 12, she left home and worked as a housekeeper until she married Thomas Moses at 27. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York. Grandma Moses began to paint using oils in her old age because she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market, and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of those pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940, she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death, she produced some 1, 600 pictures.

Today we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion (蝎子) that somehow got into the house.
My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because “girls can’t deal with that thing”.
My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged (耸肩)and said,“Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs (虫子).” So my husband called her over and told her, “You never have to be afraid of anything because you’re a girl. You’re just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I’m proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You’re very smart.”
He held the scorpion’s tail, adding, “As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can’t do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There’re women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them.” She got so excited at the thought of woman being able to do things a man can do.
At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination. Alice asked if she could hold it. Then my husband put it on her hands. She was so proud of herself that she talked about it until she went to sleep.

You may have heard about Amadeus Mozart, a classical composer from the 18th century. But have you ever heard about the Mozart effect
The Mozart effect first came to be known to the public in 1993. A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. Another study also examined the long-term effects of Mozart on the brains of kids. A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.
As a result of these studies, the popularity of Mozart’s music has grown. Some schools in the US started to play Mozart to children, and it even led the southern state of Georgia to provide babies with free Mozart CDs. And the findings further showed the importance of music in the cognitive development of children.
Now we know the Mozart effect shows playing Mozart benefits brain development. But how does that happen The classical music pathways in the brain and the neural (神经的) trails we use for spatial reasoning are quite alike. When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.
As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills.
28. What can we learn about children listening to Mozart’s music
A. They show great interest in creating music.
B. They could perform spatial tasks better.
C. They find his music difficult to understand.
D. They could hold their attention much longer.
29. The author introduces the Mozart effect mainly by ________.
A. explaining data B. stating arguments
C. providing research results D. analyzing experts’ words
30. Why is classical music beneficial to brain development
A. It makes the mind calm and clear.
B. It fixed some damage to neural trails.
C. It helps awaken some hidden memories.
D. It causes the brain’s spatial pathways to start to work.
31. What are parents advised to do to help their children be smart adults
A. Train children to form good learning habits.
B. Develop an interest in music themselves.
C. Perform music with children as much as possible.
D. Get children to start music lessons early on.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了莫扎特效应有利于孩子大脑的发育。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. (发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究发现，在空间推理测试中，听莫扎特音乐10分钟的儿童比听其他有助于放松的音乐的儿童表现出明显的提高。)”可知，儿童听莫扎特的音乐，他们可以更好地执行空间任务。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.(一组3到4岁的孩子上了6个月的音乐课。上完课后，这些孩子在空间推理测试中的表现，与长期接受其他训练或不接受任何训练的孩子相比，提高了30%。)”可知，作者主要通过提供研究结果介绍莫扎特效应。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.(当我们听古典音乐或学习演奏这类音乐，特别是莫扎特的音乐时，大脑中的空间路径被刺激并准备使用。这会使大脑更活跃，从而提高智力。)”可知，因为古典音乐能导致大脑的空间路径开始工作，所以它对大脑发育有益。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills. (作为父母，你不需要等到你的孩子上小学才开始上音乐课。大多数4到5岁的孩子已经准备好开始学习基本的音乐知识了。早期干预可以帮助你的宝宝成长为一个聪明的成年人，除了提高他或她的学习成绩和生活技能。)”可知，父母应该让孩子们尽早开始上音乐课来帮助孩子成为聪明的成年人。故选D项。

On Saturday night, a five-person team of the Chinese e-sports club, with the full name EDward Gaming, won the 2021 League of Legends World Championship in Reykjavik , Iceland , beating defending champion Damwon KIA (DK) from South Korea. The live streaming of the championship had over 200 million viewers on two major domestic smartphone apps and other channels.
The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world. At the beginning of the championship, the members of EDG and other staff displayed tai chi, martial arts and traditional Chinese costumes in Reykjavik, launching a “Chinese hurricane” in the Icelandic capital. Now the posting of photos and videos on social networks have spread that hurricane to the whole world.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are of the hottest. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world.
Also e-sports appeal most to those in their early 20s, as shown by the carnival of college students on Saturday night. That in turn makes them a good bridge of communication between Chinese youngsters and their counterparts (同行) around the world. More importantly, the e-sports industry is sustainable (可持续的) in spreading Chinese culture, as the large audiences mean huge commercial potential. In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in turn created over 10 million jobs.
As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. Both show the strong policy support being given to e-sports.
With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.
32. What can we know from the news report
A. E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.
B. The number of the viewers around the world reached over 200 million.
C. There was a severe hurricane in Reykjavik, Iceland on Saturday night.
D. EDward Gaming has won the LoL World Championship twice on end.
33. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate
A. E-sports appealed to people of all ages.
B. 2020 witnessed a turning point of e-sports.
C. E-sports gave birth to many new companies.
D. E-sports boosted economic development.
34. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph
A. The first international E-sports centre was built in 2019.
B. E-sports enjoyed great popularity in Hainan and Zhejiang.
C. E-sports received official support from the authorities.
D. E-sports were first listed as events in the Asian Games.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the e-sports industry
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文报道了周六中国电子竞技俱乐部EDG在冰岛雷克雅未克击败韩国队DK，获得2021年英雄联盟世界锦标赛冠军，电子竞技行业将蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world (该团队借此机会与世界分享中国文化)”以及最后一段“With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world(随着更多中国明星游戏俱乐部和团队的出现，该行业有望蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化)”可知，中国电子竞技俱乐部分享中国文化，随着电竞行业的蓬勃发展，中国文化会继续向世界传播，可见，电子竞技在沟通各国文化方面发挥着重要作用。因此，从新闻报道中我们能了解到A项“E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.(电子竞技在沟通各国文化方面发挥着重要作用)”符合题意，故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。通读第四段，尤其是“In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in turn created over 10 million jobs.(仅在2020年，国内电子竞技产业的销售利润就超过435.6亿美元，涉及28万家公司，创造了1000多万个就业岗位)”可知，电子竞技产业产生了巨大的商业价值，促进了经济的发展。因此，第四段中的数字表示是D项“E-sports boosted economic development. (电子竞技促进了经济发展)”符合题意，故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. (早在2019年，海南省就宣布了建设国际电子竞技中心的宏伟计划。11月5日，杭州2022年亚运会组委会宣布将八项电子竞技列为本届亚运会的比赛项目。两者都显示出对电子竞技的有力政策支持)”可知，海南和杭州的这两项政策，表明了官方非常支持电子竞技行业。因此，从倒数第二段我们能推断出的是C项“E-sports received official support from the authorities.(电子竞技得到了当局的官方支持)”符合题意，故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.(随着更多中国明星游戏俱乐部和团队的出现，该行业有望蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化)”可知，作者认为，电子竞技有望蓬勃发展。因此，作者对电子体育产业持什么态度是C项“Positive.(积极乐观的)”符合题意，故选C项。

New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management
You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: ___36___
Know less
It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. ____37____ Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.
Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me.
Care less
This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. ____38____ What that means is that you say “No” a lot.
Here is a way:
I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. ____39____ Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office.
Resolution: ____40____ Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.
Is it easy to do less No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020.
A. Resolve to do less.
B. Contact people face to face.
C. I have to manage my time strategically.
D. But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7.

【分析】本文为说明文。文章叙述了在新年如何制定关于管理时间的新年计划。工作日外要有自己的私人时间，用于做自己喜欢做的事。人的精力是有限的，不能尽力照顾每一个人，要关心最亲近的人。到了年底你会感激自己的。
【36题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第一段第一句“You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding.” 从去年开始，你可能已经有太多的目标和太多的失望。所以当你展望2020年，添加更多的想法似乎有点令人兴奋，但也有点令人生畏。下面说这就是我建议你反其道而行之（you do the opposite）: ___1___”。文中冒号起到解释说明作用，“do the opposite”对应上文提到“the idea of adding more”，与增加更多的想法相反的就是不去做多的计划，分析选项可知，可知A项Resolve to do less（决心少点）符合题意。故选A。
【37题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本文的小标题“know less”知道的少点。上句“It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone.” 不了解每件事的最新进展也没关系。为了减少这些干扰，你可以关掉手机上的社交媒体通知。以及后面的“Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.” 取消订阅你不经常阅读的通知邮件或时事通讯。这些都是呼应上文提到的减少社交媒体干扰，分析选项可知E项Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether（或者，你也可以完全卸载应用程序）中用“Alternatively”提出另外一种解决方案，即把应用程序卸载了，也就了解的少了，可知E项符合题意，故选E。
【38题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。针对前文“you may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well” 你可能想成为一个善良体贴的人，为您的朋友和家人，并为您的客户提供良好的服务。结合空后“What that means is that you say “No” a lot.”意味着多拒绝。可知，结合本段的小标题为“care less(少关心点)”。可知，本段就是要求你少点关心。分析选项可知，G项But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally.（但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人）与少点关心意义一致。把本句放入句中，即：但你不能关心每个想要你专门关心的人，这意味着你经常说“不”。可知，意义上是一致的，故选G。
【39题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前文“I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day” 我星期一到星期五白天都在为顾客服务。后文又提到“Being able to unplug from work in my personal time” 能够在我的私人时间里从工作中解脱出来。可知，没有必要一周七天都要工作。要用自己的私人时间。分析选项可知，D项But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7（但是我觉得没有必要一周七天，一天24小时都要为客户服务）符合题意，由此故而中间需要D项作为衔接。故选D。
【40题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空格后的“I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.” 我可以将我的时间做我的最优先要做的事，更好地照顾与我最亲近的人。因此可知，不能在乎别人要你做什么，而要做你最想做的事，照顾你最想照顾的人。这也呼应前面的小标题“Care less”提出的新年心愿。分析选项可知F 项I resolve to care less about what others want me to do（我决心不去在乎别人想让我做什么）符合语境可知，可知F项符合题意，故选F。

57. additional
58. which 59. what
60. crossing
61. majority
62. to provide
63. up 64. harder
65 measures
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述在竞争力越来越大的中国，“内卷”这个词淋漓尽致体现出了人们的现状，尤其是现在的孩子们的学习上。作者建议父母们应该首先冷静下来并且放松自己的紧张情绪，采取措施让孩子们摆脱内卷所带来的繁重压力。
【56题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：最近，各行各业的中国人都发现她们的日常生活充满了一个专业术语：内卷。根据句子结构和意思可知，句子的时间状语是“Recently”，所以这里考查现在完成时的谓语动词。主语是“Chinese people”，所以助动词用have。故填have discovered。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在农业经济上，内卷原来的意思是，为了更高的产量投入额外的劳动却没有成比例的提升。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查形容词修饰后面的名词“work”，做定语。故填additional。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：见第2题。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查定语从句。先行词是“output”，在非限制性定语从句“yet doesn’t increase proportioally”中作主语，指物。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：因此，我们过去很容易就能实现的事情现在需要付出更多的努力。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查主语从句。从句“we used to achieve easily”中缺少动词“achieve”的宾语，指物，“什么”的意思。故填what。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们在现代社会的竞争水平经常被比作百万大军过独木桥。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查现在分词做后置定语，修饰前面的名词“millions of troops”，和动词“cross”是逻辑上的主谓关系。故填crossing。
【61题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：我们大部分人都在努力跑在大军的前面。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定短语“the majority of”表示“大部分”的意思。故填majority。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：父母们因要给孩子们提供最好的条件而感到有压力，并且孩子们必须要在这场比赛中不掉队。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查动词不定式做原因状语，修饰系表结构“feel stressed”。故填to provide。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：见第7题。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定短语“keep up”表示“保持不掉队”的意思。故填up。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：虽然他们也很努力，但是他们发现考上他们期待的大学很难。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查形容词比较级做宾语补足语，被“much”修饰，对形式宾语“it”补充说明。故填harder。
【65题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：父母们应该首先冷静下来并且放松自己的紧张情绪，采取措施让孩子们摆脱内卷所带来的繁重压力。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定短语“take measures”表示“采取措施”的意思。故填measures。

第二节（满分25分）读后续写
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Friday the 13th of March, my six-year-old son Jack came home with a huge packet of worksheets in his schoolbag. Soon after, I received the email I had feared was coming-Jack’s school would be closed for at least the next two weeks. The COVID-19 quarantine (隔离期) had begun. At least now I would know he was safe at home. I spent the weekend gathering supplies such as pencils, crayons and paper and setting up a classroom on my dining room table.
On the first day of what was referred to as "distance learning", I realized I was being overly optimistic, and I only had one child to teach. He suffers from hearing loss and wears hearing aids. In school, he receives special services from a teacher of the deaf, a speech therapist (治疗专家)，an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. In addition to his major classes, there was also his music class, art class, computer education, the library, and physical education. I was suddenly ten teachers all at the same time, and the work began piling up!
Although my job as a freelance (自由职业的) writer allows me to work according to my own schedule, I would normally work when Jack was at school. Now that time was taken up with school days at home. This meant I was teaching for most of the day and then working as a writer all afternoon into the evening. Many days didn’t stop until bedtime, and then we were right back at it the next morning. This was the new normal and it was stressful. More than once, I found myself feeling angry for no particular reason. On one occasion. I shouted angrily at my printer simply because it wouldn’t work properly.
One day, I was helping Jack with a short journal. As part of his class worksheets, he was required to write and draw about the interesting things that happened at home. I secretly cheered at the opportunity to apply my professional skills to my son’s education.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I told him all the things I knew about story writing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
I told him all the things I knew about story writing. I sorted out a few magazines with my articles and read to him in a loud and clear voice. I even acted out some of the stories. However, Jack didn’t seem to pay much attention. Turning the crayon over in his hand, he looked at me, then at the blank piece of paper. I remembered how I enjoyed the quiet afternoons typing away on my laptop and thought he might need space to build up his story. I told Jack he could start writing and left him to get on with it.
After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank. Stress and impatience burned in my stomach, I knocked heavily on the dining room table and was ready to lecture him on how to be a good student. Instead, Jack raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. “I’m scared, Mom,” he sobbed. “You are always angry.” I was speechless. Thinking about the past two weeks, I realized what a horrible teacher I had been I told Jack we could take an afternoon off. The journal could wait until we filled the day with some happy memories.
