A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID-19, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30, 000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave away to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States,” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
28. What did the two brothers collect money for
A. Setting up some charities. B. Helping to end the lockdown.
C. Completing their five-month walk. D. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
29. Which word can best describe the two brothers
A. Humorous. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Honest.
30. What happened to the brothers in Utah
A. They met with a bear. B. They were interviewed.
C. They visited a naturalist. D. They were lost in the path.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Long Journey B. Walk with Love
C. A Proud Mother D. Adventure with Fun
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B

The world is full of tea drinkers. For many, they simply enjoy the taste. But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症). Past studies in China and Japan have suggested several health benefits of green tea. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea-drinking behavior of almost 500, 000 adults in Britain, where black tea is the most common tea. The study found that high tea intake (摄取量) — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers. Scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, alleviate digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. It has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect. “Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else that makes tea drinkers healthier ” said Marion Nestle, a professor of food studies at New York University. “The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.
32. What does the new study mainly focus on
A. The effects of tea on health. B. The popularity of tea culture.
C. The harmful substances in tea. D. The right amount of tea intake.
33. According to the study, people with high tea intake are likely to ______.
A. stay focused B. develop cancer
C. get heart disease D. have a lower risk of death
34. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Cause. B. Worsen. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To provide advice on how to drink tea.
B. To point out the possible limitations of the study.
C. To stress the significance of the research findings.
D. To offer additional evidence for the research results.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是一项研究发现,经常喝茶的人比不喝茶的人寿命更长。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症).(但新的研究表明,喝茶的人可能比不喝茶的人更长寿。众所周知,茶含有可以帮助减少炎症的物质)”可知,经常喝茶的要比不喝茶的人寿命长,茶内含有能帮助消炎的物质,由此可知,新研究重点关注的是茶对健康的影响。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study found that high tea intake (摄取量)—two or more cups a day—was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers.(研究发现,高茶摄入量(每天两杯或两杯以上)与适度的益处有关:与不喝茶的人相比,因任何原因死亡的风险降低了9%至13%)”可知,经常喝茶的人比不喝茶的人降低了9%-13%的死亡风险,由此可知,茶叶高摄入量的人的死亡率较低。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。分析划线单词所在的句子“Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to ten, especially green tea.(茶含有多种元素,包括多酚,多酚被认为对健康有益,传统上认为对健康有益,尤其是绿茶)”可知,绿茶对健康有益,且划线单词与“改善”和“帮助”为并列关系,由此可知,该单词也是说明绿茶对健康好处,结合选项可知,该单词应为“缓解”的意思。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect.(然而,对英国饮茶者的研究是基于观察人们的行为和健康状况。这种方法不能证明因果关系)”可知,这种研究方法不能证明因果关系,以及““The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.( “这项研究没有提供足够的证据来建议人们改变他们的饮茶习惯。如果你每天喝一杯,我认为这很好,”领导这项研究的Inoue Choi说)”可知,这项研究没有足够的证据建议人们改变喝茶这一行为,由此可知,最后一段说明这项研究可能存在局限性。故选B项。

Regular exercise is part of a healthy life. It’s my honor to recommend long-distance running to you, which has a lot of benefits.
Running will help you get fit and prevent diseases. Like any exercise, it increases the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain. At the same time, it’s good for your eyes after a whole day of study. It also strengthens your immune system and reduces the risk of health problems. What’s more, if you feel down, going for a run can cheer yourself up.
If you’re new to running, here are some tips for you — a pair of good running shoes is necessary. It’s important to warm up and cool down properly before and after running. (131 words)

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。
When my sister, Dona, and I were little kids, my parents both joined the army. They stayed far away from our town and hardly returned home. My grandpa took on the big responsibility of taking care of us. Still, without our parents by our side, Dona and I sometimes felt lonely and sad, especially one winter.
One morning in that winter when Dona and I were sitting in our bedroom dull and quiet, Grandpa said, “My dear, how about trying skating for fun ” Our faces immediately lit up and we answered together, “Great, we surely like it, Grandpa!”
He smiled and quickly set about building us a skating rink (溜冰场) in our yard. The process of building a skating rink was not easy. First, Grandpa laid out long wooden boards around the yard. Next, he made the base of the rink flat. Grandpa then began spraying the water, lightly at first, until the first layer of ice was established. He would then put some water onto the ice each night. And thus, the ice became thicker and thicker.
In the darkness of the night, from the kitchen window Dona and I watched Grandpa with great expectations. His back and shoulders rounded to protect him from the freezing wind. He stood alone, busying himself creating a perfect skating rink for us. The only light was from the moon and stars.
One night, Grandpa suddenly pressed his waist and the look on his face showed he was painful. Quite concerned, Dona and I rushed out and asked, “Grandpa! What’s wrong ” “My waist is painful. Don’t worry! I’ll be fine just after a little rest,” he smiled. Dona and I offered to help create the rink. But he said it was too cold outside at night and that building the rink needs much experience and lots of skills. Then, we gave up the idea of offering him a hand, but demanded he build the rink a few days later. Seeing we were determined, he walked into the room with us and had warm tea. Before long, Dona and I were tired and went to bed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When we fell asleep, Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Amazed, we hurriedly put on the skating equipment and rushed out._
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When we fell asleep, Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard. He kept spraying water onto the ice in the yard. It was so cold outside that Grandpa trembled all over. But he went on building the rink for us. He hoped to complete the work as soon as possible. That night he worked for a long time although his waist was very painful. The next morning when we woke up, we found skating equipment placed before our bed. Grandpa called out, “Kids, come out! The rink was ready!”
Amazed, we hurriedly put on the skating equipment and rushed out. Seeing the perfect rink, we were so excited and could no longer wait to skate on it, while Grandpa stood aside, smiling. We skated in the cold for what felt like hours laughing and dancing, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Grandpa was proud of what he had accomplished and happy to see us having so much fun. Now we always remember the special gift, which Grandpa built with great love.

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
24. The underlined part means a person who __________.
A. always has a sweet smile B. is as pretty as an apple
C. is loved more than anyone else D. looks like an apple
25. The father didn’t pick the boy up because he________.

C. forgot to do so D. was too tired to do so

To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID-19, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30, 000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave away to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States,” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
28. What did the two brothers collect money for
A. Setting up some charities. B. Helping to end the lockdown.
C Completing their five-month walk. D. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
29. Which word can best describe the two brothers
A. Humorous. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Honest.
30. What happened to the brothers in Utah
A. They met with a bear. B. They were interviewed.
C. They visited a naturalist. D. They were lost in the path.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Long Journey B. Walk with Love
C. A Proud Mother D. Adventure with Fun
D
The world is full of tea drinkers. For many, they simply enjoy the taste. But new research suggests tea might help those who drink it live longer than those who do not. Tea is known to contain substances (物质) that can help reduce inflammation (炎症). Past studies in China and Japan have suggested several health benefits of green tea. Now, scientists say black tea may show similar benefits.
Scientists from the United States National Cancer Institute carried out the study. They examined years of data gathered about the tea-drinking behavior of almost 500, 000 adults in Britain, where black tea is the most common tea. The study found that high tea intake (摄取量) — two or more cups a day — was linked to a moderate benefit: a 9 to 13 percent lower risk of death from any cause than non-tea drinkers. Scientists say the lowered risk of death held true for study subjects with heart disease. However, researchers said there was no clear finding in connection with deaths from cancer.
Tea contains various elements, including polyphenols (多酚), Polyphenols are considered responsible for the health benefits that have traditionally been linked to tea, especially green tea. Green tea is reported to improve mental ability, alleviate digestive problems and head pain, and help people with weight loss. It has also been studied for possible protective effects against heart disease and cancer.
However, the study of British tea drinkers was based on observing people’s behaviors and health. This kind of method cannot prove cause and effect. “Observational studies like this always raise the question: Is there something else that makes tea drinkers healthier ” said Marion Nestle, a professor of food studies at New York University. “The study does not offer enough evidence to advise people to change their tea behaviors. If you drink one cup a day already, I think that is good,” said Inoue Choi, who led the study.
32. What does the new study mainly focus on
A. The effects of tea on health. B. The popularity of tea culture.
C. The harmful substances in tea. D. The right amount of tea intake.
33. According to the study, people with high tea intake are likely to ______.
A. stay focused B. develop cancer
C get heart disease D. have a lower risk of death
34. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Cause. B. Worsen. C. Relieve. D. Hide.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To provide advice on how to drink tea.
B. To point out the possible limitations of the study.
C. To stress the significance of the research findings.
D. To offer additional evidence for the research results.

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。
When my sister, Dona, and I were little kids, my parents both joined the army. They stayed far away from our town and hardly returned home. My grandpa took on the big responsibility of taking care of us. Still, without our parents by our side, Dona and I sometimes felt lonely and sad, especially one winter.
One morning in that winter when Dona and I were sitting in our bedroom, dull and quiet, Grandpa said, “My dear, how about trying skating for fun ” Our faces immediately lit up and we answered together, “Great, we surely like it, Grandpa!”
He smiled and quickly set about building us a skating rink (溜冰场) in our yard. The process of building a skating rink was not easy. First, Grandpa laid out long wooden boards around the yard. Next, he made the base of the rink flat. Grandpa then began spraying the water, lightly at first, until the first layer of ice was established. He would then put some water onto the ice each night. And thus, the ice became thicker and thicker.
In the darkness of the night, from the kitchen window Dona and I watched Grandpa with great expectations. His back and shoulders rounded to protect him from the freezing wind. He stood alone, busying himself creating a perfect skating rink for us. The only light was from the moon and stars.
One night, Grandpa suddenly pressed his waist and the look on his face showed he was painful. Quite concerned, Dona and I rushed out and asked, “Grandpa! What’s wrong ” “My waist is painful. Don’t worry! I’ll be fine just after a little rest,” he smiled. Dona and I offered to help create the rink. But he said it was too cold outside at night and that building the rink needs much experience and lots of skills. Then, we gave up the idea of offering him a hand, but demanded he build the rink a few days later. Seeing we were determined, he walked into the room with us and had warm tea. Before long, Dona and I were tired and went to bed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When we fell asleep, Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard.
