All through the UK, people have been going out of their way to show their thanks to the workers of National Health Service (NHS), who risk their lives to help patients with COVID-19. One of them is a 99-year-old English army captain, known simply as “Captain Tom”, using a rolling frame (滚动的框架) for support when he walks. He had been very impressed by the efforts of the health care system workers. He wanted to join them.
Captain Tom tried to raise money to support NHS workers by walking laps (圈) around his garden. Each lap is about 80 feet (25 meters). His original plan was to walk 100 laps. He hoped to raise &1,000. Captain Tom soon announced his fundraiser (资金筹集活动). In less than 24 hours, he had reached his goal.

People learned about the project quickly. The fundraiser easily beat the new goal, reaching &50,000 by April 12th. The captain and his team decided to try for half a million pounds. Two days later, more than a million pounds had been raised. By the time the captain finished his 100th lap, people had donated &14 million. Mr. Moore described it as “an absolutely fantastic sum of money”.
Things didn’t stop there. Captain Tom promised that he would continue his walking project as long as people kept raising money, and people did so. Word spread further as Captain Tom followed up his walking activity with interviews.

After leaving the publishing industry in my fifties, I chose a university to follow my love for animal biology. I regard the experience as a change for my self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.
My background is in the arts, so I wanted to see if I could keep up with a science degree. I was a carer for my parent when I was 18, so I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university then. I was a little nervous, and worried, but I was actually treated the same as all the other students.
I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my classmates, but that’s fine. Friendship grows in different ways. I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to extend my knowledge and experience.
My family have been so supportive. My husband is retired(退休) now and has taken on lots of the housework so that I can study. My daughter has already g other degree and she’s been great helping me get new views. I’ve hunted for a few jobs at the university, and I’m also considering other qualifications. I have learned so much about critical thinking.
I would recommend adult study to anyone, even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what I missed-going in regularly and having a group of people to talk to, especially if you have gradually lost your confidence over the years You need the support from people who see you as a person and not just a mum or a wife. It’s really given me the confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of the society.
28. Why did the author choose a university
A. To teach arts. B. To get a degree.
C. To follow her passion. D. To find a better job.
29. What prevented the author going to university when she was young
A Keeping a science degree. B. Taking care of her parents.
C. Being nervous about study. D. Showing no interest in university.
30. What did the author benefit from her experience
A. She got on better with her old friends.
B. She learned to be stricter with herself.
C. She was more responsible for her housework.
D. She became more confident to express herself.
31. Which maybe the best title for the text
A. It Is Never Too Old to Learn.
B. Hard Work Is the Key to Success.
C. Family Support Is of Great Importance.
D. Volunteering Is Helpful in Developing Friendship.
D
The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟)—one of the world’s largest freshwater fish—has been announced extinct. Scientists say the paddlefish, also called the Chinese swordfish, is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years. With its long nose and mouth, the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.
But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total. Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct. The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Britain’s University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
The paper says the paddlefish was announced extinct for two reasons. It said that the fish was not able to survive because of widespread overfishing and damage to its native environment in the Yangtze River.
Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018. But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish. They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010. The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” to nature.
Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. “The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades” Pan said. She stressed that China had taken measures to improve the Yangtze’s environment, including a 10-year ban (禁令) on fishing.
After the extinction was reported in the news, some Chinese media and Internet users look a look back at the large creatures. Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.
“Every time I see the news of another species going extinct, my heart starts to ache,”wrote one Weibo user. “Humans should not live alone on this planet,” the user added.
32. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Fishing in the Yangtze River.
B. Environment in the Yangtze River.
C. Researchers of the Chinese paddlefish.
D. The reasons for the Chinese paddlefish’s extinction.
33. Which of the following best describes the present situation of the Yangtze River
A. To protect animals is to protect humans.
B. It’s never too late to mend.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. No pain, no gain.
34. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish
A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Satisfied. D. Happy.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Fishing is not Allowed in the Yangtze River
B. Few People are Familiar with the Chinese Paddlefish
C. The Chinese Paddlefish has been Announced Extinct
D. Damage to the Environment has No Effect

67. 阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”

After leaving the publishing industry in my fifties, I chose a university to follow my love for animal biology. I regard the experience as a change for my self-confidence, both inside and outside the classroom.
My background is in the arts, so I wanted to see if I could keep up with a science degree. I was a carer for my parent when I was 18, so I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university then. I was a little nervous, and worried, but I was actually treated the same as all the other students.
I’m definitely a bit of a mum figure to some of my classmates, but that’s fine. Friendship grows in different ways. I’ve done lots of volunteering, so there have been plenty of opportunities to extend my knowledge and experience.
My family have been so supportive. My husband is retired(退休) now and has taken on lots of the housework so that I can study. My daughter has already g other degree and she’s been great helping me get new views. I’ve hunted for a few jobs at the university, and I’m also considering other qualifications. I have learned so much about critical thinking.
I would recommend adult study to anyone even if it’s just college, so they can feel that connection and support. That’s what I missed-going in regularly and having a group of people to talk to, especially if you have gradually lost your confidence over the years You need the support from people who see you as a person and not just a mum or a wife. It’s really given me the confidence to speak up again, to join in and be part of the society.

C. She was more responsible for her housework.
D. She became more confident to express herself.

The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟)—one of the world’s largest freshwater fish—has been announced extinct. Scientists say the paddlefish also called the Chinese swordfish, is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years. With its long nose and mouth, the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.
But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total. Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct. The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Britain’s University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
The paper says the paddlefish was announced extinct for two reasons. It said that the fish was not able to survive because of widespread overfishing and damage to its native environment in the Yangtze River.
Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018. But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish. They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010. The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” to nature.
Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. “The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades” Pan said. She stressed that China had taken measures to improve the Yangtze’s environment, including a 10-year ban (禁令) on fishing.
After the extinction was reported in the news, some Chinese media and Internet users look a look back at the large creatures. Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.
“Every time I see the news of another species going extinct, my heart starts to ache,”wrote one Weibo user. “Humans should not live alone on this planet,” the user added.
32. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Fishing in the Yangtze River.

C. Well begun is half done.
D. No pain, no gain.
34. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish
A. Excited. B. Shocked. C. Satisfied. D. Happy.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍说，青少年往往会受到关于外表的负面想法的影响，本文就如何减少这些影响提出了几点建议。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：俗话说得好，“不要以貌取人”。book“书”，为可数名词，且此处泛指“一本书”，且book以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：媒体对美的标准给青少年看待自己的外表带来了巨大的影响。此处“对……有影响”表达为have an influence on/upon，故填on/upon。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：那些想要模仿他们最喜欢的明星的容貌的青少年最终会对自己的容貌感到更加不满意。此处为定语从句，先行词为teenagers，指人，且从句中缺少主语，故用who/that引导，故填who/that。
【59题详解】
考查动名词。句意：同上。此处意为“最终做某事”，表达为end up doing sth.，故填feeling。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：并且，身边那些有着明星般样貌的朋友也会影响他们审视自己外表的方式。此处引导定语从句，先行词为the way，在从句中作方式状语，可用in which引导，故填which。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意：然而，当然也有方式可以用来处理这些外界的影响。此处为there be句型，主语为ways，复数，且此处陈述事实，故应用一般现在时，故填are。
【62题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：盲目地跟随流行的标准是不正确的。此处为固定句型it is+adj.+to do sth.，it为形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语，故填to follow。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：同上。此处修饰动词follow，应用副词，故填blindly。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意：第二，青少年应该相信，他们是独一无二的，并且他们的家人和朋友就爱他们本来的样子。此处空后为名词family and friends，故此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，意为“他们的”，故填their。
【65题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他们应该做的是，以他们擅长的事为自豪，而不是为他们无法改变的事情焦虑。thing“事情”为可数名词，此处指“他们无法改变的事”，为复数含义，故应用名词复数形式，故填things。

67. 阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】And he gently put his fingers near her mouth. Again the horse sucked greedily. This time, Martin’s face relaxed into a smile of pure pleasure. Again and again, he put his hand in the milk and gave it to the horse. “She’s so hungry,” he said softly. Eventually, the horse had enough milk and fell into a deep sleep. “What happened to her ” Martin asked me. I told him that she had lost her mom and needed someone to care for her. Then we talked about how it felt to lose a mother.
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.” Touched, I nodded. He came every day to feed the baby horse and clean her stable. He brushed her and played with her. They had a wild game where they took turns chasing each other, bringing fun and love to each other. Gradually, Martin’s eyes had more tenderness, and he began caring for little boys there, teaching them to ride horses. I was glad about Martin’s change. And this was just one story here that showed how our program could heal a broken spirit.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一个牧场的负责人，牧场里有很多由教育系统送来的，陷入困境的男孩。牧场为他们打造了“童马交流计划”，希望通过与马儿的交流来治愈他们受伤的心灵。15岁的男孩Martin是新来的，他看上去冷酷、容易生气，认为马只是速度和刺激的交通工具。他每天总是冲到队伍的最前面，撞倒较小的孩子才能上马，作者为Martin的行为感到很不安。一天，一匹母马死去了，她刚生出不久的小马需要有人来喂食，但是小马不接受奶瓶子，所以必须有人把手伸进牛奶里，让她吮吸手指上的牛奶，以此来喂食。Martin接下了这个任务，慢慢地在照顾小马的过程中马丁也改变了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他轻轻地将手指放在她的嘴边。”和第二段首句“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她的妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第一段可描写Martin喂食小马的过程以及作者告诉Martin小马失去了母亲这件事。
②由第二段首句内容“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她的妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第二段可描写Martin像妈妈一样每天都照顾小马，同时Martin自己也发生了改变，变得温柔了。
2.续写线索：喂食小马——得知小马失去了母亲——像母亲一样照顾小马——改变——作者很高兴看到Martin改变
