W: There are many lakes in Canada. Now I’d like to tell you about one of them — Lake Louise. It’s a lake as blue as the sky with mountains in the distance. It’s one of the favorite places to visit in the Canadian Rockies. Lake Louise was formed when a lot of ice slid through thousands of years ago. It lies down in Banff National Park, in the Alberta town. The town was named after a daughter of Queen Victoria. The lake is the starting point for many adventures. A deep network of hiking trails takes you to Mount Niblock, Mirror Lake, and some other scenic places. In the summertime, visitors enjoy boating on the lake. One of the best hotels in western Canada is located along the shores of the lake: the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. The hotel was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the early 20th century, the Canadian Pacific Railway built great hotels along the Canadian lakes and other scenic places. They remain at the top of the list for travelers and continue to offer welcome service. If you go to visit Lake Louise one day, don’t miss the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Pack located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a scat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.
Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War Ⅱ. By 1952, Walt had created a special department to build the park.
Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.
25．What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland
A．The special design of Griffith Park. B．Requests from his family and employees.
C．A trip to a park with his daughters. D．The idea to build a park for his daughters.
26．What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland
A．Local traffic. B．The natural environment.
C．The advice of the public. D．Walt Disney’s personal preference.
27．What can we learn about the construction process
A．It was influenced by a shortage of money. B．It was affected by World War Ⅱ.
C．It was completed later than expected. D．It was smooth generally.
【答案】25．C 26．A 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是和两个女儿的公园之行让Walt Disney萌生了建立迪斯尼乐园的想法，文章介绍了建立迪斯尼乐园的具体过程。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Pack located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a scat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland. (有一个著名的故事，讲的是沃尔特·迪士尼是如何受到启发建造迪士尼乐园的。故事说，在下午参观伯班克工作室附近的格里菲斯帕克时，沃尔特在他的两个年幼的女儿骑旋转木马时拍了一张照片。沃尔特认为应该有一个地方，让孩子和他们的父母都能在一个既有趣又赏心悦目的环境中度过一段时间，于是迪士尼乐园的想法应运而生。)”可知，和女儿们的公园之行启发了Walt Disney建立迪士尼乐园的想法。故选C项。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park. (考虑到人口增长和未来高速公路建设，他们最终在阿纳海姆找到了一个位置，并购买了160英亩的土地作为新公园的选址。)”可知，Disneyland的选址考虑了当地的交通。故选A项。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. (沃尔特监督着公园的建设，除了几次小停顿外，工程仍在继续。)”可知，建设过程总体顺利。故选D项。

Last month, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects on the Earth’s seasons. Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere (北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture.
Yuping Guan, a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. The spring and autumn seasons also shortened. Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (假设) about how the seasons would possibly change in the future. They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months.
If the Earth’s seasons continue to shift, it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture. Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. “Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals, climate change could disturb species’ ability to adapt,” said Scott Sheridan, a climate scientist “If seasons continue to change, everything isn’t going to change perfectly as they should. If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground, those flowers could come out, but bees aren’t there to pollinate (授粉) them yet or they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward.
This study further proves how cruel climate change is to humans, plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share.
28．What did scientists find according to the study
A．Some seasons will disappear in their tracks.
B．Global warming will be at its worst in 2100.
C．Human heath remains unharmed by climate change.
D．Climate change affects the days of summers.
29．What does the underlined word “contract” in the second paragraph mean
A．Add. B．Shorten. C．Keep. D．Extend.
30．What can we infer about the effects of longer and hotter summers
A．Some species are more able to adapt to the change.
B．The environment will change as we wish.
C．Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.
D．Mosquitoes can survive in more places.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Is summer taking the place of all other seasons B．Is climate change bringing hardship
C．Is mankind to blame for longer summers D．Is the Earth getting warmer
【答案】28．D 29．B 30．D 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项最新研究发现，气候变化对地球季节的直接影响，特别是对夏季温度和持续时间的影响，这项研究进一步证明了气候变化对人类、植物和动物有多么残酷，提醒我们环境共享的重要性和联系。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere (北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. (科学家们发现气候变化与夏季的温度和持续时间之间存在联系。根据这项研究，如果全球变暖持续下去，到2100年，北半球的夏季可能会持续近六个月)”可知，科学家们发现，气候变化与夏季的温度和持续时间之间有关联，会让北半球的夏季时间变长，即气候变化影响了夏季的天数。故选D项。
29．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. (在近60年的时间里，他们发现，夏季平均从78天增加到95天，而冬季从76天缩短到73天)”可知现在夏季在变长，冬季在变短，再结合“They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months. (他们发现，如果不受影响，北半球的夏天可能会持续近六个月，而冬天可能会contract到不到两个月)”可知，while表示前后两者的对比，再结合画线词前的“nearly six months”和画线词后的“less than two months”可知，此处是指冬季缩短，故划线词与B选项“shorten (缩短)”为同义词。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. (例如，更长、更热的夏天可能会导致蚊子和其他携带疾病的昆虫扩大其范围，并降落在通常找不到它们的地方)”可知，随着夏季时间的延长，蚊子可能会扩大它们的活动范围，在更多的地方存活下来。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究，该研究发现气候变化会影响夏季的温度和持续时间，夏季会越来越长，其也会给人类的各个方面带来不同的影响，A选项“Is summer taking over from all other seasons (夏天正在取代其他季节吗 )”用问句的方式引发读者思考，并紧扣文章主题，为最佳标题。故选A项。
D
The reference desk staff at Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s public libraries are proud of themselves for answering their customers’ questions. The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions.
“We’re in the information business,” says Patricia Husband, assistant branch library director.
Then came the flooding of 2016. Suddenly the questions became more urgent (紧急的). People wanted to know how to contact Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance, where to get help paying bills, even where to find a homeless shelter. Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them. They needed someone who could spend more time with them, advise them on whom to call for assistance and what documents and information they’d need.
The library turned to Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR), a nonprofit it had worked with in the past. At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”. A 90-day pilot program (试点项目) was launched in the spring of 2017. Three evenings a week, VOAGBR would send caseworkers to three library branches.
The pilot program was extended for an entire year. In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached. There were also programs like Ask a Lawyer, where a lawyer gives free legal advice once a month.
There are a lot of books in Baton Rouge’s libraries — full of information, guidance, wisdom and entertainment — but the help that VOAGBR offers there is right out of people’s heart.
32．What is the aim of paragraph 1
A．To indicate staff’s work is hard. B．To prove the library is people’s pride.
C．To show the good service of the library. D．To introduce the great number of books.
33．What was a problem facing the library during the flood
A．Its reference sources lessened. B．The books in it were destroyed.
C．Too many people rushed in for shelter. D．It couldn’t provide all information people needed.
34．What can we know about VOAGBR
A．It offered aid to the needy. B．It was set up in 2017.
C．It was a library branch. D．It was a 90-day pilot program.
35．What can be inferred about the pilot program
A．It changed into an academic one. B．It benefited people a lot.
C．It advertised VOAGBR in the world. D．It helped the sufferers with its profits.
【答案】32．C 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日公共图书馆咨询台在回答访客问题方面服务优良，限于图书馆参考资源有限，他们和美国大巴吞鲁日志愿者组织合作，这为有需要的人带来了更多的帮助。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions.(最好的食谱，zydeco的历史，LSU老虎橄榄球队参加棉花碗比赛的次数。即使在这个谷歌和Siri的时代，也不乏问题。)”可知，第一段是为了介绍路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日公共图书馆咨询台在回答访客问题方面的良好服务。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them.(一些游客似乎需要的远远超过图书馆的参考资料所能提供的。)”可知，洪水期间图书馆面临的问题是它无法提供人们需要的所有信息。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段第二句和第三句“At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”.(在VOAGBR，他们都在关注人们所关心的问题——经济适用房援助、无家可归者收容中心、帮助危机家庭的治疗师、老年人项目。他们致力于帮助那些被称为“最弱小者”的人。)”可知，VOAGBR向穷人提供援助。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据倒第二段第二句“In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached.(在图书馆分馆的头六个月里，VOAGBR帮助了248名原本可能无法接触到的人。)”可知，试点项目帮助了人们很多。故选B。

37．根据空后“others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people.(另一些人则很害羞，很难结识新朋友)”可推测，空处和下文内容形成对比。选项C“While some people are naturally outgoing(有些人天生外向)”讲述的是有些人天生外向，和空后的有些人很害羞形成对比，符合句意。故选C。
38．根据空后“Working with pets and other animals has also been shown to help you feel more relaxed and less anxious.(与宠物和其他动物一起工作也被证明能让你感到更放松，减少焦虑)”可知，与宠物和其他动物一起工作可以帮助缓解焦虑。选项F“Nothing lessens stress better than a meaningful connection to another person(没有什么比和另一个人建立有意义的联系更能减轻压力了)”与下文内容相符，指的是志愿服务有助于减轻我们的压力。故选F。
39．根据上文“Studies have found that older volunteers are likely to walk more, find it easier to complete everyday tasks, and have better thinking skills.(研究发现，年龄较大的志愿者可能会走得更多，更容易完成日常任务，思维能力也更好)”可知，年龄较大的志愿者可能会走得更多，更容易完成日常任务，思维能力也更好。选项E“Volunteering can also cut the risk of heart problems(志愿者也可以降低患心脏病的风险)”与本段内容相符，指的是志愿服务对我们的身体也是有好处的。故选E。
40．根据空前的“If you’re considering a new job, volunteering can help you get experience in your area of interest and meet people in the field.(如果你正在考虑一份新工作，志愿活动可以帮助你在你感兴趣的领域获得经验，并结识该领域的人)”可知，如果你正在考虑一份新工作，可以考虑志愿服务。选项D“Even if you’re not planning on changing your job(即使你不打算换工作)”与上文内容形成对比。上文假设的是如果你打算换工作，可以考虑志愿服务；而空处指的是如果不打算换工作，则可以有空后的好处，即“volunteering gives you the chance to practise important skills used in the workplace, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, project planning, task management, and organization.(志愿活动给你机会练习在工作场所使用的重要技能，如团队合作、沟通、解决问题、项目计划、任务管理和组织)”。故选D。

第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。
More than 20 years ago, when Gao Zhongtai was a reporter in Wuxi, East China’s Jiangsu province, he started 56 (follow) news about the research and development of China’s deep-sea 57 (man) submersibles at the China Ship Scientific Research Center.
The Wuxi-based center, China’s largest ship and ocean engineering research institute, is behind the success of the country’s three deep-sea manned submersibles: Jiaolong (Sea Dragon), Shenhai Yongshi (Deep Sea Warrior) and Fendouzhe (Striver).
Gao 58 (conduct) interviews with the key scientists and engineers. However, his reporting was never going to get the story behind the story, or the intricate details about the research and development.
That is why Gao, in his 60s, wrote the book Shenqian (Diving Deep), 59 (publish) earlier this year, in which he recorded how scientists and engineers 60 (develop) the world’s most advanced deep-sea manned submersibles in the last 20 years, 61 (start) from scratch.
Before Shenqian, Gao published nonfiction works like Dying to Survive, about a leukemia patient trying to save himself and other cancer patients by illegally 62 (buy) generic drugs from India, and history novels set in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He is also a TV series screenwriter.
Since Fendouzhe, China’s most advanced deep-sea manned submersible, successfully traveled to the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, the deepest natural frontier on Earth, in 2020, Gao has always wanted 63 (write) a book about this feat.
Although he had been following the news for decades, he still found it difficult 64 (understand) the science and technology used on deep-sea manned submersibles. He spent a great deal of time trying 65 (figure) out. To better discuss the motivation of exploring the ocean, he also researched more about the sea.
【答案】
56．following/to follow 57．manned 58．conducted 59．published 60．had developed 61．starting 62．buying 63．to write 64．to understand 65．to figure
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国深海载人潜水器的研发和发展，以及一位记者记录了这一领域的发展历程并出版了相关著作的故事。
56．考查动名词。句意：20多年前，当高仲泰还是中国东部江苏省无锡市的一名记者时，他就开始在中国船舶科学研究中心关注有关中国深海载人潜水器研发的新闻。start doing/to do sth.“开始做某事”是固定搭配，动名词作start的宾语，故填following/to follow。
57．考查形容词。句意：20多年前，当高中泰还是中国东部江苏省无锡市的一名记者时，他就开始在中国船舶科学研究中心关注有关中国深海载人潜水器研发的新闻。需填入形容词manned“载人的”作定语，修饰名词submersibles。故填manned。
58．考查时态。句意：高教授对主要科学家和工程师进行了采访。句子描述的为“过去”的事情，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故填conducted。
59．考查过去分词。句意：这就是为什么60多岁的高在今年早些时候出版了《深潜》一书，他在书中记录了科学家和工程师如何在过去20年里从零开始开发出世界上最先进的深海载人潜水器。book承受publish的动作，因此使用publish的过去分词作定语，故填published。
60．考查时态。句意：这就是为什么60多岁的高在今年早些时候出版了《深潜》一书，他在书中记录了科学家和工程师如何在过去20年里从零开始开发出世界上最先进的深海载人潜水器。 空处为定语从句的谓语动词，develop发生在recorded之前，因此develop使用过去完成时，故填had developed。
61．考查现在分词。句意：这就是为什么60多岁的高在今年早些时候出版了《深潜》一书，他在书中记录了科学家和工程师如何在过去20年里从零开始开发出世界上最先进的深海载人潜水器。分析句子结构可知，start不是谓语动词，它与scientists and engineers为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语，故填starting。
62．考查动名词。句意：在《深潜》之前，高出版了非虚构作品，如《我不是药神》，讲述了一名白血病患者试图通过非法从印度购买仿制药来拯救自己和其他癌症患者的故事，以及以春秋时期(公元前770-476年)和清末(1644-1911年)为背景的历史小。介词by后接动名词，故填buying。
63．考查固定搭配。句意：自2020年中国最先进的深海载人潜水器“奋斗者”成功抵达地球上最深的自然边界——西太平洋的马里亚纳海沟以来，高一直想把这一壮举写一本书。want to do意为“想要做某事”，故填to write。
64．考查固定句型。句意：尽管几十年来他一直在关注这方面的新闻，但他仍然觉得很难理解深海载人潜水器所使用的科学技术。固定句型“find it+形容词+to do”意为“觉得做某事……”，it为形式宾语，不定式作真正宾语。故填to understand。
65．考查固定短语。句意：他花了很多时间要努力弄明白。try to do表示“努力做某事”，故填to figure。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Johnny and his two younger sisters were very poor. They lived in a very old block of flats in the crowded part of the city. They had no father. Their mother went to work from morning till late evening, as a cleaning lady in many rich houses. Therefore, Johnny had to stay at home and look after his sisters.
Sometimes on a sunny day,he would take them to the nearby park. He had to be very careful when they crossed roads. Not having any pocket money, they could not buy chips or drinks. They had to be satisfied with sandwiches as a treat that Johnny made.
One day, after they had finished their sandwiches, Johnny’s youngest sister Mary looked at other well-dressed children nearby, who seemed to be on a picnic with their parents, eating all kinds of chips, cakes and many other goodies. Mary’s mouth was watering, and very much more, when their parents brought each of the five children huge ice-cream cones from the ice cream trundle cart (移动贩卖车) nearby. “I wish we had some money to buy cones,” she said eagerly. Johnny looked at her with sadness in his eyes. “You know we don’t have money for these expensive things,” he said. “Mom works hard for what we have.”
There was silence after that. As the children sat with sad faces, the ice cream man went past them with his trundle cart. They were sitting on a bench on a little grassy hill, which sloped (倾斜) gently down the path. The trundle cart had a hard time not running away downhill, as the ice cream man held on tightly to the handles, trying to break the speed. It so happened that suddenly a little boy of two ran in front of the cart following a flying balloon.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
He did not see the cart coming downhill, but Johnny did.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing the screams of the child, the anxious parents came running over.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He did not see the cart coming downhill, but Johnny did. In a flash, Johnny ran in front of the speeding cart, and pushed the little boy over to the side of the grassy hill. The little boy was safe. But he was scared, and unaware of what had happened, except that this big boy pushed him to safety. Big tears rolled down his cheeks as he slowly sat up, and he began to cry loudly more through fear than being hurt. The trundle cart passed by, and finally, the ice cream man stopped it at the bottom of the hill.
Hearing the screams of the child,the anxious parents came running over. The mother hugged her son close, and comforted him with “It’s OK, Bob You are all safe with Mummy.” The sobs stopped. While some other people gathered around, the ice cream man pushed his way in gently. He said, “I’m sorry, ma’am. I did not notice your son. But if it wasn’t for this big boy here, he might have been badly hurt.” “Brave big boy, thank you so much,” the father said to Johnny. The crowd burst into applause for the brave boy.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Johnny和他的两个妹妹生活贫困，在城市拥挤的老旧公寓里生活。没有父亲，母亲整天在富人家打扫卫生，Johnny只能照顾妹妹。一天，他们去公园野餐，但看到其他孩子吃冰淇淋时感到羡慕。Johnny告诉妹妹，他们没有钱买这些昂贵的东西。卖冰淇淋的人正拉着手推车往下走去，突然，一个追的气球小男孩冲了过来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他没有看见移动贩卖车正往下行，但是约翰尼看见了。”可知，第一段可描写Johnny冲上前去，及时救了小男孩。
②由第二段首句内容“听到孩子的尖叫声，焦急的父母跑了过来。”可知，第二段可描写Johnny得到孩子父母的感谢和其他人的称赞。
2.续写线索：勇敢冲了过去——成功救下小男孩——得到孩子父母的感谢——获得其他人的称赞

Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War Ⅱ. By 1952, Walt had created a special department to build the park.
Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.
25．What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland
A．The special design of Griffith Park. B．Requests from his family and employees.
C．A trip to a park with his daughters. D．The idea to build a park for his daughters.

A．Local traffic. B．The natural environment.
C．The advice of the public. D．Walt Disney’s personal preference.
27．What can we learn about the construction process

Last month, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects on the Earth’s seasons. Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere (北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture.
Yuping Guan, a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. The spring and autumn seasons also shortened. Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (假设) about how the seasons would possibly change in the future. They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months.
If the Earth’s seasons continue to shift, it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture. Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. “Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals, climate change could disturb species’ ability to adapt,” said Scott Sheridan, a climate scientist “If seasons continue to change, everything isn’t going to change perfectly as they should. If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground, those flowers could come out, but bees aren’t there to pollinate (授粉) them yet or they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward.
This study further proves how cruel climate change is to humans, plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share.
28．What did scientists find according to the study
A．Some seasons will disappear in their tracks.
B．Global warming will be at its worst in 2100.
C．Human heath remains unharmed by climate change.
D．Climate change affects the days of summers.
29．What does the underlined word “contract” in the second paragraph mean
A．Add. B．Shorten. C．Keep. D．Extend.
30．What can we infer about the effects of longer and hotter summers
A．Some species are more able to adapt to the change.
B．The environment will change as we wish.
C．Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.
D．Mosquitoes can survive in more places.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Is summer taking the place of all other seasons B．Is climate change bringing hardship
C．Is mankind to blame for longer summers D．Is the Earth getting warmer
D
The reference desk staff at Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s public libraries are proud of themselves for answering their customers’ questions. The best recipe, the history of zydeco, the number of times the LSU Tigers football team has been to the Cotton Bowl. Even in this age of Google and Siri, there’s no shortage of questions.
“We’re in the information business,” says Patricia Husband, assistant branch library director.
Then came the flooding of 2016. Suddenly the questions became more urgent (紧急的). People wanted to know how to contact Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance, where to get help paying bills, even where to find a homeless shelter. Some visitors seemed to need much more than what the library’s reference sources could give them. They needed someone who could spend more time with them, advise them on whom to call for assistance and what documents and information they’d need.
The library turned to Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR), a nonprofit it had worked with in the past. At VOAGBR, they’re all about addressing the very concerns people were asking about — assistance with affordable housing, a drop-in center for the homeless, therapists who work with families in crisis, programs for seniors. They were committed to helping those who were called “the least of these”. A 90-day pilot program (试点项目) was launched in the spring of 2017. Three evenings a week, VOAGBR would send caseworkers to three library branches.
The pilot program was extended for an entire year. In its first six months at the library branches, VOAGBR helped 248 people it might not have otherwise reached. There were also programs like Ask a Lawyer, where a lawyer gives free legal advice once a month.
There are a lot of books in Baton Rouge’s libraries — full of information, guidance, wisdom and entertainment — but the help that VOAGBR offers there is right out of people’s heart.
32．What is the aim of paragraph 1
A．To indicate staff’s work is hard. B．To prove the library is people’s pride.
C．To show the good service of the library. D．To introduce the great number of books.
33．What was a problem facing the library during the flood
A．Its reference sources lessened. B．The books in it were destroyed.
C．Too many people rushed in for shelter. D．It couldn’t provide all information people needed.
34．What can we know about VOAGBR
A．It offered aid to the needy. B．It was set up in 2017.
C．It was a library branch. D．It was a 90-day pilot program.
35．What can be inferred about the pilot program
A．It changed into an academic one. B．It benefited people a lot.
C．It advertised VOAGBR in the world. D．It helped the sufferers with its profits.

More than 20 years ago, when Gao Zhongtai was a reporter in Wuxi, East China’s Jiangsu province, he started 56 (follow) news about the research and development of China’s deep-sea 57 (man) submersibles at the China Ship Scientific Research Center.
The Wuxi-based center, China’s largest ship and ocean engineering research institute, is behind the success of the country’s three deep-sea manned submersibles: Jiaolong (Sea Dragon), Shenhai Yongshi (Deep Sea Warrior) and Fendouzhe (Striver).
Gao 58 (conduct) interviews with the key scientists and engineers. However, his reporting was never going to get the story behind the story, or the intricate details about the research and development.
That is why Gao, in his 60s, wrote the book Shenqian (Diving Deep), 59 (publish) earlier this year, in which he recorded how scientists and engineers 60 (develop) the world’s most advanced deep-sea manned submersibles in the last 20 years, 61 (start) from scratch.
Before Shenqian, Gao published nonfiction works like Dying to Survive, about a leukemia patient trying to save himself and other cancer patients by illegally 62 (buy) generic drugs from India, and history novels set in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He is also a TV series screenwriter.
Since Fendouzhe, China’s most advanced deep-sea manned submersible, successfully traveled to the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, the deepest natural frontier on Earth, in 2020, Gao has always wanted 63 (write) a book about this feat.
Although he had been following the news for decades, he still found it difficult 64 (understand) the science and technology used on deep-sea manned submersibles. He spent a great deal of time trying 65 (figure) out. To better discuss the motivation of exploring the ocean, he also researched more about the sea.

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。
Johnny and his two younger sisters were very poor. They lived in a very old block of flats in the crowded part of the city. They had no father. Their mother went to work from morning till late evening, as a cleaning lady in many rich houses. Therefore, Johnny had to stay at home and look after his sisters.
Sometimes on a sunny day,he would take them to the nearby park. He had to be very careful when they crossed roads. Not having any pocket money, they could not buy chips or drinks. They had to be satisfied with sandwiches as a treat that Johnny made.
One day, after they had finished their sandwiches, Johnny’s youngest sister Mary looked at other well-dressed children nearby, who seemed to be on a picnic with their parents, eating all kinds of chips, cakes and many other goodies. Mary’s mouth was watering, and very much more, when their parents brought each of the five children huge ice-cream cones from the ice cream trundle cart (移动贩卖车) nearby. “I wish we had some money to buy cones,” she said eagerly. Johnny looked at her with sadness in his eyes. “You know we don’t have money for these expensive things,” he said. “Mom works hard for what we have.”
There was silence after that. As the children sat with sad faces, the ice cream man went past them with his trundle cart. They were sitting on a bench on a little grassy hill, which sloped (倾斜) gently down the path. The trundle cart had a hard time not running away downhill, as the ice cream man held on tightly to the handles, trying to break the speed. It so happened that suddenly a little boy of two ran in front of the cart following a flying balloon.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
He did not see the cart coming downhill, but Johnny did.
