Walthamstow Garden Party
The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year. Over the weekend you can tune in to music and take part in online workshops from crafting to Tai Chi. Don't miss the highlight of the weekend: East London Radio' s first-ever live show taking place across the weekend with behind-the-scenes chats with local artists, live music from St Mary's Church and much more.
Brixton Courtyard

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第二自然段中“Nearby roads will be closed and there will be a limit on the number of people who can enter the market.”（附近的道路将被封闭，进入市场的人数也将受到限制。）可知Columbia Road Flower Market重新开放后会限制客流量。故选C项。
【22题详解】

However, it is being taken online instead.”（今年的乡村音乐节不会在布洛克威尔公园举行。然而，它被放到了网上。）和第四自然段中“The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year.”（今年，E17两天免费的音乐节将在网上直播。）可知Lambeth Country Show 和the festival in E17都将转到网络上。故选A项。

“I’m going to get Omama a parrot,” my mother announced. Omama was my old grandmother. “It will give her something to care for, which helps her exercise her mind and avoid decline in memory,” my mother continued. “A little bird may make things lively and cheer her up.” I nodded since Omama loved pets in the past.
Omama had reached America from Ireland, and her memory was full of tales from the old country. She loved nothing better than to reminisce (回忆). Once she got going, you might as well feel comfortable and go back to the wonderful past with her. So in the foreign land, my mother sent her a parrot to accompany her.
When receiving the bird, Omama called it Patrick. My mother gave her the feeding instructions. Omama listened and promised, “I’ll not starve him. He’ll eat better than me! He’ll sleep better than me! And I’ll play the sweetest music to him.” As we walked toward the door, Omama was starting her record player and promising Patrick that he would hear some real Irish music. “Listen well and tell me what you think,” we heard her words.
Later, Omama often called us to report his wonderful behaviors. When she sat on the doorway to get some air, Patrick went along; when seeing her, Patrick would show excited behaviors. Omama often showed off the smart bird to her neighbors. She was crazy about Patrick. If we called to say that we planned to visit her, Omama would say, “Hold on, please,” while she announced to Patrick that we were coming.
Omama liked Patrick and thought highly of him. She had possessed many pets but Patrick was distinct from all others; Omama had assured me of that more than once. Still, nothing prepared me for the day when Patrick would take my breath away.
That day I visited Omama. She quickly went to the kitchen, and I sat on the sofa, Patrick looked at me. “Hello, Patrick,” I said. He replied, “Good morning, Patrick. Hello, Patrick. Pretty bird.” My mouth dropped open. It was not because of Patrick’s words. What shocked me was that every word Patrick said was spoken in a perfect Irish accent!
I suddenly realized that we all were shaped by our unique culture. We should value it and be proud of it.
24. What did the author think of Omama’s tales
A. Exciting. B. Attractive. C. Moving. D. Simple.
25. What can we learn about Omama and Patrick according to Paragraph 4
A. They were popular with the neighbors.
B. They got along with each other.
C. They enjoyed showing off each other.
D. They got great help from neighbors.
26. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. That Omama liked pets. B. That Patrick could understand Omama.
C. That Patrick was special. D. That Omama often talked to Patrick.
27. What can be inferred from Patrick’s response to the author
A. Her grandmother had deep affection for her motherland.
B. Patrick was quite a smart pet bird.
C. Her grandmother was poor at training parrots.
D. Patrick was very fond of the author’s visiting.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的妈妈给祖母买了一只鹦鹉作为宠物陪伴她，结果作者震惊地发现鹦鹉帕特里克说的每一个字都是纯正的爱尔兰口音，作者意识到了祖母对祖国地热爱。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Omama had reached America from Ireland, and her memory was full of tales from the old country. She loved nothing better than to reminisce. Once she got going, you might as well feel comfortable and go back to the wonderful past with her.( Omama从爱尔兰来到美国，她的记忆里充满了这个古老国家的故事。她最喜欢回忆往事了。一旦她开始了，你可能会觉得很舒服，和她一起回到美好的过去)”可知，作者认为Omama的故事很吸引人。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Later, Omama often called us to report his wonderful behaviors. When she sat on the doorway to get some air, Patrick went along; when seeing her, Patrick would show excited behaviors. Omama often showed off the smart bird to her neighbors. She was crazy about Patrick. If we called to say that we planned to visit her, Omama would say, “Hold on, please,” while she announced to Patrick that we were coming.(后来，Omama经常打电话给我们，向我们报告他的好行为。当她坐在门口想透透气时，帕特里克走了过去；每次见到她，帕特里克都会表现出兴奋的行为。奥玛经常向她的邻居炫耀这只聪明的鸟。她疯狂地爱上了帕特里克。如果我们打电话告诉她我们打算去看她，Omama会说:“请稍等”，然后她向帕特里克宣布我们要来)”可知，通过第四段我们可以知道Omama和Patrick相处的非常融洽。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“She had possessed many pets but Patrick was distinct from all others;(她养过许多宠物，但帕特里克与众不同)”可知，that指的是“Patrick was distinct from all others”，即“Patrick是特别的”。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“What shocked me was that every word Patrick said was spoken in a perfect Irish accent!(让我震惊的是帕特里克说的每一个字都是纯正的爱尔兰口音！)”和文章最后一段“I suddenly realized that we all were shaped by our unique culture. We should value it and be proud of it.(我突然意识到，我们都被自己独特的文化所塑造。我们应该重视它，并为此感到自豪)”可知，从Patrick对作者的回应可以看出她的祖母对祖国怀有深厚的感情。故选A。
C
The COVID-19 has led to a great demand for bikes and biking. Bikes stores are struggling hard to keep up with the demand. In the United States, bike sales have seen their jump since the 1970s. Sales of adult bikes in April of 2020 were three times as high as last year. The situation is similar in Asia and Europe. Around 90% of the bikes sold in the US are made in China. But because of the COVID-19, even the normal supply of bicycles wasn’t being created. That demand began to go up in mid-March, as people began looking for ways of getting around that didn’t involve crowded public transportation. Because biking happens in the open air, and the chance of catching the disease while riding is very low.
Biking has also grown more popular because it is one of the few forms of exercise allowed in many lockdowns. With gyms and fitness shut down, biking fills a need for many active people. Families appreciate biking, too. With school closed and kids unable to hang out with their friends, biking is a welcome activity. Bikes are also practical. Many cities are seeing this as an opportunity to make their streets safer and greener. Cities around the world are adding mils and miles of bike lanes to their streets to encourage biking. New York says it will close off up to 160 kilometers of roads so they can be used by bikers and walkers. Paris has set up over 650 kilometers of new bike lanes. The United Kingdom plans to double its number of bike lanes. In Milan, Italy, 35 kilometers of roads have been metamorphosed.
Though many of these bike lane additions are temporary, and some people assume these additions seem to destroy the overall beauty of cities, if changes in biking habits become permanent because of additions, they could seriously cut down car traffic and help make cities a lot greener.
28. What can we conclude about the present bike situation
A. It is more expensive. B. It is safer than a car.
C. It is in short supply. D. It is all made in China.
29. What does the underlined word “metamorphosed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Repaired. B. Changed. C. Protected. D. Designed.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward the bike lane additions
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Increasing Interest in Biking B. Ride Bikes, Clean the Earth
C. More Bikes Fewer Traffic Jam D. A Great drop for Bike Exercise
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新冠病毒的流行导致人们对骑自行车的兴趣激增；各地自行车供不应求，世界各大城市也正在努力增加自行车道，希望借此能缓解交通，让城市更加绿色环保。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The COVID-19 has led to a great demand for bikes and biking. Bikes stores are struggling hard to keep up with the demand.(新冠肺炎导致了对自行车和自行车的巨大需求。自行车商店正在努力满足需求)”可推知，现在的自行车供不应求。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“New York says it will close off up to 160 kilometers of roads so they can be used by bikers and walkers. Paris has set up over 650 kilometers of new bike lanes. The United Kingdom plans to double its number of bike lanes.(纽约将关闭多达160公里的道路，用以自行车和步行者使用；巴黎新建了650多公里的自行车道。英国计划将自行车道的数量增加一倍)”可知，这些措施说明城市在改变道路，供骑车使用，而划线词所在句与前文在意义上是并列的，也应该在谈意大利的米兰已经改建了35公里的道路（用于骑自行车）。故划线词意思是“改变”。A. Repaired.修理；B. Changed.改变；C. Protected.保护；D. Designed.设计。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though many of these bike lane additions are temporary, and some people assume these additions seem to destroy the overall beauty of cities, if changes in biking habits become permanent because of additions, they could seriously cut down car traffic and help make cities a lot greener.(尽管许多新增的自行车道都是临时的，而且有些人认为这些新增的自行车道似乎破坏了城市的整体美感，但如果新增的自行车道改变成为永久性的，它们可能会严重减少汽车交通，帮助城市变得更环保)”可推知，作者对城市增加自行车道持赞成态度。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The COVID-19 has led to a great demand for bikes and biking. Bikes stores are struggling hard to keep up with the demand.(新冠肺炎导致了对自行车和自行车的巨大需求。自行车商店正在努力满足需求)”以及第一段最后一句“Because biking happens in the open air, and the chance of catching the disease while riding is very low.(因为骑自行车是在户外，骑自行车时感染疾病的几率非常低)”结合文章内容提到的世界各大城市管理者希望人们多骑自行车，借此缓解交通压力和降低城市污染，于是就在城市增加或改建自行车道，这些都说明无论是普通人还是城市管理者对骑自行车倍感兴趣。A项内容“越来越多的人喜欢自行车”符合文章主题。故选A。
D
They are drawing the attention of the world. They bear the responsibility to shape our future. Who are they They are the young generation who were born after 2000.
This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving the public a glimpse of their generation’s nature.
Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski big air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the air—before landing.
“I have never done the ‘left 16’ before,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance to push myself to the limit.”
For the young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian at a news conference on Feb. 8, the “post-00” said boldly that she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time,’’ Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun.
After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slope-style final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete with his idol.
“When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoying the runs and concentrating on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”
This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.
32. Why did Gu Ailing attempt a more difficult trick in the last jump
A. To win a gold medal. B. To inspire the “post-00”.
C. To challenge her potential. D. To have fun in the process.
33. What is the attitude of the“post-00”towards sports
A. They don’t care what others think.
B. Sport is to push one to the limit and have fun.
C. They compete for medals to the best of their ability.
D. They are extremely accustomed to challenging difficult tricks.
34. Which of the following is right according to the text
A. Gu’s last jump has proved “practice makes perfect”.
B. Su lost his gold medal due to his poor performance.
C. Gu Ailing was criticized because she couldn’t make everyone happy.
D. The new understanding of sports from the “post-00”appeals to the public.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Just Have Fun in Sports B. Gold Medals Don’t Matter
C. Winning Big in Life And Sports D. Gu&.Su— Idols of the “Post-00”
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“00后”年轻一代对生活和运动的态度。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski big air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit.(在女子自由式滑雪大型空中项目中，她在前两跳中表现出色，获得奖牌的希望已成定局。但这位18岁的滑雪者并没有谨慎行事，而是将自己推向了极限)”可知，谷爱凌在最后一跳尝试了一个更难的技巧来挑战她的潜力。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries.( 显然，年轻一代充满了“勇敢的战士”，他们想挑战不可能，挑战界限)”和文章第五段“For the young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.( 对于年轻的运动员来说，这项运动从来不只是为了得分，而是为了尽可能多地获得乐趣)”可推知，“00后”对体育的态度是：体育就是把人推到极限，就是玩得开心。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They are drawing the attention of the world. They bear the responsibility to shape our future. Who are they They are the young generation who were born after 2000.( 他们吸引了全世界的注意。他们肩负着塑造我们未来的责任。他们是谁？他们是2000年后出生的年轻一代)”和文章第二段“This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving the public a glimpse of their generation’s nature.(今年，几名年轻运动员在北京冬奥会上光芒四射，让公众得以一窥他们这一代人的天性)”可知，“00后”对体育的新认识吸引着公众。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容可知，本文主要讲述了年轻一代对生活和运动的态度——挑战极限、享受生活。结合最后一段“This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.( 这是敢于挑战极限、享受生活的年轻一代)”可知，C项“在生活和体育中赢得大的胜利”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选C。
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Four habits of happy people
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline (基本) level of happiness is probably genetically determined it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes.___36___. Here are the good habits of happy people.
·Spend time outside. If you can clock 20 minutes a day outside, studies show you’ll not only maintain a better mood, but your mind will be more open and you’ll improve your working memory. _____37_____.
·Exercise regularly. All exercise releases endorphins (脑内肽) in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood boosts（增强）even carries over to non-workout days._____38_____. Mood stays about the same on days they don’t.
____39____. A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try. In the study, two sets of participants listened to “happy” music. Those who actively tried to feel happier reported the highest level of positive mood afterwards.
·Care for others. _____40_____. Volunteer work is good for both mental and physical health. People of all ages who volunteer are happier and experience better physical health and less depression.
A. Exercise is easy to do.

D. Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.
E. But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.
F. People who spend time every month helping others are happier.
G. On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.
【答案】36. E 37. D 38. G 39. B 40. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了快乐人群的四个习惯。
【36题详解】
设空在段中，承前启后的作用。根据前文内容“You can’t go back and get new genes（你不能重组基因）”，而后文内容“Here are the good habits of happy people.”提及了幸福人的好习惯，可推知所填空应是对前文的转折，且呼应后文幸福可以由自身习惯决定。选项E：But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.（但是你可以用新的态度来开始一个美好的早晨)符合语境分析。故选E项。
【37题详解】
设空在段末，呼应主旨句。根据本段主题句：Spend time outside.（花时间在外面。）可知，本段主要讲述了在户外对于好情绪的影响。选项D “Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.”提及了阳光和新鲜空气对于好心情的帮助，符合本段主旨。故选D项。
【38题详解】
设空在段中，承前启后的作用。根据前文内容：All exercise releases endorphins in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood boosts even carries over to non-workout days.（所有的运动都会在你的大脑中释放内啡肽，如果你经常锻炼，这种情绪就会持续到不锻炼的日子。）可知本段主要讲述做运动带来的心情方面的有利之处在运动当日和非运动日都有效，且后文已经提及非运动日，因此可推知，所填空为运动当日的“好心情”，选项G：On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.（在运动日，人们的情绪在运动后明显改善。）符合语境分析。故选G项。
【39题详解】
设空处为本段小标题，应是中心主旨。根据后文内容：A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try.（一项研究证实，当人们积极尝试快乐时，他们会提高自己的基准情绪，让自己比那些不努力的人更快乐。）可知，本段主要讲述了“努力使自己快乐”的积极作用。选项B：Put effort into being happy.（努力让自己快乐。）符合本段中心主旨。故选B项。
【40题详解】
设空处在段中，紧跟主旨标题，应为主旨句支持解释句。根据小标题“Care for others（关爱他人）”可知，所填句子应解释关爱他人对情绪带来好处。选项F：People who spend time every month helping others are happier.（每个月花时间帮助别人的人更快乐。）符合语境分析。故选F项。
【点睛】七选五技巧—连词的暗示
在做七选五题目时，无论是在文章中还是在所提供的选项中，连词是值得注意的。它们往往成为答案的线索或成为答案的可能性很大。如一些表示转折的连词，though，but，however，yet，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的词，如therefore，and，aswellas，also，neithernor，eitheror，notonly...butalso，ononehand....ontheotherhand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。
比如文章第1小题：
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline (基本) level of happiness is probably genetically determined, it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes.___1___. Here are the good habits of happy people.
在做此题时，可以注意到，空前的一句话含有否定词“can’t”，而后面的句子“Here are the good habits of happy people.”是肯定句。说明所填的句子应是转折句，才能起到承前启后的作用，将两个句子衔接起来。因此选项E“But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.”中的连词“but”可以起到很好的语境衔接作用。且符合句意主旨。因此第1小题答案为E项。
第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)

【58题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：自从1994年这个国际项目开始后，大约已经生成五十万份高质量数字影像。由时间状语since可知，应使用现在完成时。主语digital photographs与produce之间是被动关系，所以应使用被动语态。且主语是复数形式，故填have been produced。

【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。介词by后接动名词形式。故填sharing。
【63题详解】
考查形容词比较级。空格位于名词前，应用形容词形式。even修饰形容词的比较级,再根据句意“该组织希望能在世界范围内引起人们对中国古代历史的更广泛兴趣”。故填wider。
【64题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他们还希望进一步教育人们保护历史和文化遗产的重要性，让子孙后代了解和欣赏。名词generation为可数名词，且前无冠词，所以用复数形式表示泛指。故填generations。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：一位从事该项目的研究人员解释说，“欣赏文化遗产对国际交流和理解非常重要。”短语work on从事于……。故填on。

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 Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased him. Jayce was in a bad mood. He'd return home in Des Moines, Iowa, with questions: Why am I different Why me Why "He actually told us that he was mad at looking so different from others," said his mother, Cortney Lewis. "That really hurt him." Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers herself
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth grader from Washington middle school, Iowa. The boy, then 14, had become an Internetstar after posting videos of his slam dunk(扣篮) , and, like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce—he'd see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to encourage Jayce and build his confidence.
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, the good news that Trashaun accepted the invitation to meet Jayce came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A few days later, the good news that Trashaun accepted the invitation to meet Jayce came. Finally, the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon a couple of months later and they instantly bonded. The day was not spent on self-pity. Instead, they rode bikes around the school's hallways, took photos, and played basketball together. Trashaun taught Jayce how to slam dunks, even giving him a basketball as a gift. He told Jayce he was perfect the way he looked. He encouraged him not to let anyone drag him down and shake his confidence.
Paragraph 2:
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability. He began to understand that there are many people like him and came to adapt himself to his disability. He recently started practising shooting basketball every day and he really loves it. Jayce often chats with Trashaun on the Internet about basketball skills as well as some school issues. He is really motivated by this role model and has a positive attitude to his future life. As for Trashaun, he never dreamed that his videos would have such an impact. His relationship with Jayce made him look forward to helping more kids.
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章记叙先天残疾的Jayce Crowder在幼儿园发现自己与众不同后，心情不好，感到非常困惑，他的妈妈Lewis也不知道如何去安慰他。一次偶然的机会，看到同样失去右臂，却展现出篮球天赋的14岁中学生Trashaun Willis的表演后，Lewis看到了希望。在与Trashaun见面后，Jayce受到极大的鼓舞，勇敢地接受自己的残疾并开始积极地生活。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，传来了Trashaun接受邀请与Jayce见面的好消息”可知，第一段可描写Trashaun和与Jayce见面后他们做了什么事情。
②由第二段首句内容“会面后，杰斯学会了接受自己的残疾”可知，第二段可描写Jayce在与Trashaun见面后发生的变化以及这次见面对Trashaun本人的影响。

“I’m going to get Omama a parrot,” my mother announced. Omama was my old grandmother. “It will give her something to care for, which helps her exercise her mind and avoid decline in memory,” my mother continued. “A little bird may make things lively and cheer her up.” I nodded since Omama loved pets in the past.
Omama had reached America from Ireland, and her memory was full of tales from the old country. She loved nothing better than to reminisce (回忆). Once she got going, you might as well feel comfortable and go back to the wonderful past with her. So in the foreign land, my mother sent her a parrot to accompany her.
When receiving the bird, Omama called it Patrick. My mother gave her the feeding instructions. Omama listened and promised, “I’ll not starve him. He’ll eat better than me! He’ll sleep better than me! And I’ll play the sweetest music to him.” As we walked toward the door, Omama was starting her record player and promising Patrick that he would hear some real Irish music. “Listen well and tell me what you think,” we heard her words.
Later, Omama often called us to report his wonderful behaviors. When she sat on the doorway to get some air, Patrick went along; when seeing her, Patrick would show excited behaviors. Omama often showed off the smart bird to her neighbors. She was crazy about Patrick. If we called to say that we planned to visit her, Omama would say, “Hold on, please,” while she announced to Patrick that we were coming.
Omama liked Patrick and thought highly of him. She had possessed many pets but Patrick was distinct from all others; Omama had assured me of that more than once. Still, nothing prepared me for the day when Patrick would take my breath away.
That day I visited Omama. She quickly went to the kitchen, and I sat on the sofa, Patrick looked at me. “Hello, Patrick,” I said. He replied, “Good morning, Patrick. Hello, Patrick. Pretty bird.” My mouth dropped open. It was not because of Patrick’s words. What shocked me was that every word Patrick said was spoken in a perfect Irish accent!
I suddenly realized that we all were shaped by our unique culture. We should value it and be proud of it.
24. What did the author think of Omama’s tales
A. Exciting. B. Attractive. C. Moving. D. Simple.
25. What can we learn about Omama and Patrick according to Paragraph 4
A. They were popular with the neighbors.
B. They got along with each other.
C. They enjoyed showing off each other.
D. They got great help from neighbors.
26. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. That Omama liked pets. B. That Patrick could understand Omama.
C. That Patrick was special. D. That Omama often talked to Patrick.
27. What can be inferred from Patrick’s response to the author
A. Her grandmother had deep affection for her motherland.
B. Patrick was quite a smart pet bird.
C. Her grandmother was poor at training parrots.
D. Patrick was very fond of the author’s visiting.

The COVID-19 has led to a great demand for bikes and biking. Bikes stores are struggling hard to keep up with the demand. In the United States, bike sales have seen their jump since the 1970s. Sales of adult bikes in April of 2020 were three times as high as last year. The situation is similar in Asia and Europe. Around 90% of the bikes sold in the US are made in China. But because of the COVID-19, even the normal supply of bicycles wasn’t being created. That demand began to go up in mid-March, as people began looking for ways of getting around that didn’t involve crowded public transportation. Because biking happens in the open air, and the chance of catching the disease while riding is very low.
Biking has also grown more popular because it is one of the few forms of exercise allowed in many lockdowns. With gyms and fitness shut down, biking fills a need for many active people. Families appreciate biking, too. With school closed and kids unable to hang out with their friends, biking is a welcome activity. Bikes are also practical. Many cities are seeing this as an opportunity to make their streets safer and greener. Cities around the world are adding mils and miles of bike lanes to their streets to encourage biking. New York says it will close off up to 160 kilometers of roads so they can be used by bikers and walkers. Paris has set up over 650 kilometers of new bike lanes. The United Kingdom plans to double its number of bike lanes. In Milan, Italy, 35 kilometers of roads have been metamorphosed.
Though many of these bike lane additions are temporary, and some people assume these additions seem to destroy the overall beauty of cities, if changes in biking habits become permanent because of additions, they could seriously cut down car traffic and help make cities a lot greener.
28. What can we conclude about the present bike situation
A. It is more expensive. B. It is safer than a car.
C. It is in short supply. D. It is all made in China.
29. What does the underlined word “metamorphosed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Repaired. B. Changed. C. Protected. D. Designed.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward the bike lane additions
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Increasing Interest in Biking B. Ride Bikes, Clean the Earth
C. More Bikes, Fewer Traffic Jam D. A Great drop for Bike Exercise
D

Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski big air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the air—before landing.
“I have never done the ‘left 16’ before,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance to push myself to the limit.”
For the young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian at a news conference on Feb. 8, the “post-00” said boldly that she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time,’’ Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun.
After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slope-style final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete with his idol.
“When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoying the runs and concentrating on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”
This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.

When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten, he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands. But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased him. Jayce was in a bad mood. He'd return home in Des Moines, Iowa, with questions: Why am I different Why me Why "He actually told us that he was mad at looking so different from others," said his mother, Cortney Lewis. "That really hurt him." Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers herself
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth grader from Washington middle school, Iowa. The boy, then 14, had become an Internetstar after posting videos of his slam dunk(扣篮) , and, like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. He was shocked, staring at one dunk after another.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce—he'd see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to encourage Jayce and build his confidence.
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, the good news that Trashaun accepted the invitation to meet Jayce came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
After the meeting, Jayce learned to accept his disability.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
