Possible version:
Dear Jerry,
Thanks for inviting me to London in the coming winter holiday. I’d love to visit you, but I’m
sorry that I really cannot make it.
As you know, I am in Senior Three this year, which means I am in the middle of preparing for
the college entrance examination to be held in the coming June. Therefore, I’m determined to make
the best use of every minute I have, the holiday included, to improve my academic performance.
Additionally, the winter holiday lasts only for two weeks, a bit short for a trip abroad, so I’m
considering rescheduling the trip for the coming summer holiday. What do you think of this plan
Once again, I’d like to express my sincere apology. Looking forward to meeting you in London!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分 25 分)
Possible version:
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. I turned my face away, fearing he
would tease me. Unexpectedly, he gently picked my bike up and gestured me over, “Get on it.” His
determined look smoothed away my doubts. As he gripped the back seat, I got on the bike, took a
deep breath and started to pedal, holding tightly onto the handlebars. During the whole process, we
didn’t talk much. He simply offered a few necessary instructions at times. But never once did he
shout at me, nor did he let me fall. His patient teaching proved efficient and I gradually got the hang
of riding.
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. She was amazed to see me riding
steadily around the yard. While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement, I noticed
my brother standing at a distance smiling at me. I cast him a grateful look and he nodded and then
walked back into the house. From that day on, the sad pattern between us began to change. There
were occasional conversations between us, filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern. I
could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us. I would always
treasure that day as my favourite memory, the moment when I felt the best.

Unusual shapes, ambitious designs, new materials and new different styles have come with the modern
architecture into construction today. And the world owes some of its strangest buildings to the masterminds
of unconventional architects. Here are some of them.
Cubic Houses, Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Cubic Houses are an architectural wonder located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. They were
designed and constructed by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s. Blom was asked by Rotterdam town planners
to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge. They are cubes situated in different
angles over hexagonal poles, so they look like trees and altogether make a forest. There are 38 small cubes
and they are all attached to each other.
National Centre for the Performing Arts, China
The National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA), described as the Giant Egg, is an arts center in
Beijing, China. The construction started in December 2001 and it took almost 6 years to complete. The

building is surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000 m2 in size.
As one of the strangest buildings, it was designed by French architect Paul Andreu.
Forest Spiral, Germany
The Forest Spiral is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany. It was designed by
Australian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and constructed by the Bauverein Darmstadt company. The
building was completed in 2000. It’s a really amazing building with a green roof, resembling a spiral (螺旋).
Habitat 67, Montreal, Canada
Habitat 67, a housing complex in Montreal, Canada, was designed by Israeli-Canadian architect
Moshe Safdie. Habitat 67 is shaped like a very interesting arrangement of cubes that kids play with. It looks
so original and is a building completely stable and comfortable for living.
21. What makes the four buildings special
A. Their sizes. B. Their functions.
C. Their appearances. D. Their building materials.
22. Which of the following buildings resembles trees
A. The Cubic Houses. B. The NCPA.
C. The Forest Spiral. D. Habitat 67.
23. What do the Forest Spiral and Habitat 67 share
A. They were completed in 2000.
B. They were built for living.
C. They have a green roof.
D. They look like cubes.
B
Ryan is a good kid. He gets great grades, he plays lacrosse (长曲棍球 ), and he is well-liked. So
Jennifer and her husband didn’t see any reason why their sixth-grade son couldn’t have an Instagram
account, until Ryan posted a photo of himself holding an empty beer bottle that his father had just finished.
“My husband saw the photo pop up on Ryan’s account and went up the stairs in seconds, demanding that he
should take it down,” Jennifer says. “I don’t think my son realized how bad his picture looked. He was
trying to be funny, but he’s in sixth grade! Even if he was simply posing, that picture was inappropriate.”
With the popularity of photo-sharing site Instagram, it’s easy for parents to have a false sense of
security. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Instagram is only for posting pictures and with the 13+ age
requirement and privacy feature, so it seems like an almost harmless site for children. How much trouble
could they stir up But that’s not the fact.
Shockingly, some kids are paying for attention on social media. When Paula Pryor found a mysterious

{#{QQABSQKEogigAAJAAAhCAwFYCkIQkAEACAoOxFAAoAAAyBFABAA=}#}
$700 charge on her credit card, the last thing she suspected it to be was payment to a company that helped
acquire “likes” on Instagram pictures. “My son Hayden thought it was only ten dollars, but it was ten
dollars per ‘like’,” says Pryor.
Often, it’s not your own teen that’s cause for concern — it’s someone else’s kid. Megan Koster
couldn’t figure out why her daughter Delaney suddenly became so anxious about whether her panty line
could be seen through her jeans. Finally, Delaney said that she was worried someone would take a photo
and post it on Instagram. “I don’t think I would have survived middle school if sites like this had existed
back then,” Koster says.
24. What made Jennifer think her son Ryan could have an Instagram account
A. He gained popularity in school.
B. He was skilled at using Instagram.
C. He showed interest in taking photos.
D. He was old enough and behaved well.
25. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Instagram accounts. B. Social media. C. Pictures. D. Children.
26. Why did Pryor’s son pay the company $700
A. To obtain the picture he liked.
B. To pay attention to social media.
C. To get his photos noticed and liked.
D. To pay the charge on his credit card.
27. What’s the text mainly about
A. Teen’s problems with Instagram.
B. Inappropriate pictures from children.
C. The influence of the Internet on young users.
D. Concerns for the Internet security for children.

Is there actual evidence that a coin toss — the act of spinning a coin in the air with your thumb and
catching it in your hand — tends to favor one side over the other Or is a coin flip 50/50 A new study
questions the fairness of the flip.
One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team of scientists
led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate Franti ek Barto . Their study, which is still undergoing peer
review, collected and analyzed the results of 350,757 coin flips in 46 different currencies and registered that
the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of the time. This research was done in an effort to
四校联考 英语学科 第 3 页 共 10 页
{#{QQABSQKEogigAAJAAAhCAwFYCkIQkAEACAoOxFAAoAAAyBFABAA=}#}
confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and
his team. According to that theory, “vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started.”
According to Diaconis’s team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small degree of
“precession”, meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴 ) of turning throughout a coin’s track.
Consequently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up. This makes a coin
flip not quite 50/50.
In 2007, Diaconis’s team estimated the odds of a “same-side outcome” as approximately 51%. Nearly
a decade and a half later, Barto and his team found this very result. They published a preliminary report
stating, “Our data lend strong support to the previous hypothesis — The coins landed on the same side
more often than not.”
Moreover, this was true for both sides of the coin and for all of the different coins tossed. As Diaconis
stated back in 1986, “The more you think about randomness, the less random things become. But
sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness.” Indeed, when it comes to flipping a coin, the
quickest shortcut to making your own luck might just be calling it literally as you see it.
28. What’s the purpose of conducting the study
A. To find evidence for the fairness of a coin toss.
B. To prove an assumption put forward years ago.
C. To state the definite chance of one side of a coin coming up.
D. To analyze the result of over 300,000 coin flips in different currencies.
29. What does the underlined word “precession” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Progressing. B. Spinning. C. Bouncing. D. Dropping.
30. Which of the following may Diaconis agree with
A. There is no need to consider randomness too much.
B. We have to make good use of a lack of randomness.
C. Whatever coin it is, randomness turns out to be fair ultimately.
D. The harder we flip a coin, the greater chance we will gain its randomness.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Is a Coin Flip 50/50 A Perfect Randomness.
B. Is a Coin Flip 50/50 AMysterious Guess.
C. Is a Coin Flip 50/50 Think Twice!
D. Is a Coin Flip 50/50 You Bet!

Wild turkeys are a familiar sight throughout New Hampshire, where flocks wander along roadsides
and through backyards.

{#{QQABSQKEogigAAJAAAhCAwFYCkIQkAEACAoOxFAAoAAAyBFABAA=}#}
In 1975, Ted Walski, the biologist for New Hampshire Fish and Game, released 25 turkeys from the
back of his truck in Walpole, a town in the western part of the state. It was part of a reintroduction effort to
bring back a species that had been wiped out in New England before the Civil War, where it used to suffer
heavy blows –– forests vanished for unknown reasons and people got their own way to hunt.
“Originally, I never thought it would get beyond a few thousand turkeys,” says Walski, who spent
nearly 50 years working with the birds before retiring in 2019.
Instead, New Hampshire’s turkey population has exploded beyond all expectations, now around
45,000 animals — the highest since the reintroduction, and probably the most the state can
approach. Reintroduction efforts in neighboring states and around the country have created a similar story
— there are 70,000 wild turkeys in Maine, up to 50,000 in Vermont, and more than 30,000 in
Massachusetts — all of which total up to about six million animals reproducing in all states but Alaska.
So what made the wild turkey one of the most successful wildlife reintroduction programs in American
history Most likely, it’s due to the bird’s surprising and unexpected ability to live among humans. In the
suburbs, turkeys can take advantage of edge habitat, like woods and open spaces, and dine on a never-ending
buffet of food provided by people — particularly birdseed. Besides, it doesn’t hurt that native predators, such
as wolves and cougars, have largely disappeared from most parts of the turkey’s range.
But everyone is not thankful for the New England turkey boom. The infamously bold birds are
troublesome, disturbing traffic and pecking at front doors, as well as potentially dangerous. In 2019, a
35-year-old pregnant woman was attacked by turkeys on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts — twice.
As conflicts between these 20-pound birds and people are on the rise, particularly during the spring
breeding season, wildlife officials are trying to cope with the reality that the turkey is here to stay.
32. What had made turkeys extinct in New England before the Civil War
A. Disappearing forests and unrestricted hunting.
B. Ted Walski’s reintroduction policy and its effects.
C. Turkeys’ inability to reproduce and coexist with humans.
D. Native predators’ occupation of most parts of turkeys’ range.
33. According to the text, which of the following statements is true about wild turkeys
A. Their explosive population is completely out of the control of New Hampshire.
B. The number of wild turkeys amounts to around six million in Alaska.
C. Their abilities to reproduce fall short of people’s expectations.
D. They feed on adequate food from human beings.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It is urgent to protect wild turkeys from being attacked.
B. Turkeys are posing a potential threat to natural environment.

{#{QQABSQKEogigAAJAAAhCAwFYCkIQkAEACAoOxFAAoAAAyBFABAA=}#}
C. Nobody appreciates the increase in turkeys due to their evil deeds.
D. Measures will be taken to tackle conflicts between turkeys and humans.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. New England witnesses a turkey boom but not all appreciate it.
B. The wildlife reintroduction program of wild turkeys is quite successful.
C. Wild turkeys’ sharp increase does harm to human beings and environment.
D. There is a contradictory relationship between wild turkeys and human beings.

Many people have a habit of starting projects but not finishing them. If you’re one of them and want to
finish what you start, first of all, you must be careful to choose what you want to do. When you start on a
project, make sure that it’s something you’re interested in. If you choose to do something you’re
half-interested in, you’ll stop it halfway. 36 So if you are not sure whether this is something you
really want to do, try it out on a small scale and see if it’s what you’re interested in.
37 Faced with temptations, ask yourself what’s more important to you — going out for the
weekend or working on what you’ve planned to do The former might bring you some joy, but the latter is
what truly gives you satisfaction. On the other hand, don’t try to be perfect. 38 As a result, you’ll put
off your work.
Record your progress. You can create a project sheet that records your goals and your present state.
And then review your progress every week. 39 What’s your task for the next week This will
encourage you to work towards your final goal.
To avoid getting discouraged with all the things that need to be done, celebrate what you’ve done so
far. Remember: everything you’ve done so far is an achievement! Give yourself a huge pat on the back and
a big hug. 40 When you’re ready, go on with what you’re doing.
A. They will lose heart and give up finally.
B. What percent of your goal have you achieved
C. Otherwise, you’ll be afraid of making mistakes.
D. Whatever you’ve planned, never change it easily.
E. Take the opportunity to get back your strength and energy.
F. Plan your time and resources accordingly and include them in your schedule.
G. This will lead to a waste of time and energy that could be better used elsewhere.

An airline loses two suitcases belonging to two different travelers, Lucy and Pete. Both suitcases
happen to be the same and also contain 41 antiques. An airline manager 42 to compensate for
their loss figures that simply asking them for the price is hopeless, for they may 43 it. Instead, he has

person writing the higher number is 45 and pay both of them the lower number with a 4600 and a
punishment — the person writing the lower number will get $2 more as a reward for 47 and the other
will get $2 less instead. For instance, if Lucy writes 46 and Pete writes 100, Lucy will get $48 and Pete will
get $44. What numbers will Lucy and Pete write

Pete’s similarly 49 . Soon, it strikes her that if she wrote 99, she’d make a little more — $101. But surely
this 0050 will also occur to Pete, who will choose 99 too. Continuing with this line of 51 , when both

towards cooperation, which favors seemingly unreasonable but beneficial strategies.

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。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the
moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand.” Some
described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how
to ride my bike — at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was
more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest,
he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words
tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing
every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him.
Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent
treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern — I avoided him, he
ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it
was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers
without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great,
until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any
attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it
was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw
my bike aside and began to cry.
