Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
24. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
25What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
26. Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.
C.
Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation（辐射） from the sun, distant stars and galaxies（星系）.
Answering two key questions would go a long way towards overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation
In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists, including researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions with a “no” and a “yes”. That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak（高峰期）, because, during this period, the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected（偏转） by the enhanced solar activity.
A trip of that length would be imaginable. The average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so depending on the timing of launch and available fuel, it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years, according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co-author of the paper.
“This study shows that while space radiation impose（强加） strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is possible,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany.
28. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To list human’s achievements in space.
B. To show a possible way to travel to Mars.
C. To introduce scientists’ effort to travel to Mars.
D. To present one of the difficulties of the trip to Mars.
29. What does the underlined word “shield” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Escape. B. Approach. C. Protect. D. Separate.
30. What is the longest duration（持续时间） of a round trip to Mars for the safety of humans
A. About 9 months. B. Less than 4 years.
C. Less than two years. D. One year.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars
B. Humans Will Travel to Mars in the Near Future
C. The Timing of a Trip to Mars Is Planned
D. Particle Radiation Changes for the Solar Activity
D
Unless you’ve been faithfully bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, you probably grab the plastic bags waiting for customers at the checkout. You’re not alone.
About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the U. S. each year. Unfortunately, single-use plastic bags have serious consequences once our trip to the store is over. Less than 10% of plastic bags used in the U. S. are recycled, leaving the rest to end up in landfills（垃圾填埋场）, and polluting soil, oceans and other natural habitats.
To fight pollution and other environmental problems, major companies are taking steps to get rid of the use of plastic shopping bags. If you’re a frequent customer at Walmart, don’t be surprised if you notice the plastic bags disappearing over the next few months. Last summer, Walmart announced its goal to be a zero-waste company — meaning no more plastic bags.
But Walmart has announced its Beyond the Bag, an initiative（倡议） working to explore reusable options and “reimagine” the plastic bag. Target and CVS are also on board as founding partners of Beyond the Bag, and so far, the three brands have invested $ 15 million to come up with a brand-new bag design.
The initiative also started the Beyond the Bag challenge, giving innovators（创新者） a chance to share their ideas. The challenge ran throughout the summer of 2020, and nine winners from over 450 submissions were selected. From a station supplying reusable bag in - store to a new and improved paper bag, the winning designs cover a lot of bases. Each product now has the chance to be tested with funding from the initiative.
While a final replacement for plastic bags at Walmart has yet to be decided, there’s a more sustainable future on the horizon. And if you want to start reducing your use of plastic bags right now, check out our list of reusable bags to bring on your next shopping trip.
32. What does the author mean by saying “You’re not alone” in the first paragraph
A. Reusable shopping bags are becoming more popular.
B. Customers need to wait for long at the checkout.
C. Some people are waiting in the line with you.
D. Many people use plastic bags when shopping.
33. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2
A. Single-use plastic bags cause severe environmental problems.
B. Supermarkets should stop providing single-use plastic bags.
C. Single-use plastic bags have been more widely recycled.
D. More landfills should be built to deal with plastic bags.
34. Why does Walmart want to start Beyond the Bag
A. To attract more customers.
B. To provide more plastic bags.
C. To set a good example to Target and CVS.
D. To make shopping more environmentally friendly.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. People pay more attention to environmental protection.
B. Walmart is getting rid of single-use plastic bags.
C. Reusable paper bags are becoming more popular.
D. Free plastic bags have become a thing of the past.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers many and long-term physical and mental benefits. 36 A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. 37 You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your innovation（创新）”. Our creative mindset is caused by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. 38
Walking outside develops our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels. 39 Research has shown that immersion（沉浸） in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors 40 For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.
Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.
B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.
C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.
D. Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create.
E. But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest.
F. This habit, however, isn’t just improving your health but an element of creativity.
G. You can also wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing.

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。
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. The school took part in the league matches every year. However, it never ended well. We were more of the audience, watching and cheering instead of sweating out in the fields.
Fortunately, the school held the tradition that the school’s old team was to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. For lack of resources, the old team bad no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game.
I was assigned (指派) as the coach of the new team, which was why I was excited. I believed that we were going to win, but to my disappointment, we were defeated. I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I tried to figure out the reason and what I should do next.
It didn’t take long before I came to realize that my team was depending on me. Without proper guidance or previous experience, my team was at a loss what to do. I had to change my attitude so that I could bring out the best in them about their ability and potential.
I would let my action do the talking. First, I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. I could see their spirits lifted, with their head held high in great confidence. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. Only when they regarded themselves as winners could they willingly invest time and energy.
This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations.

It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是前往火星的旅程中，人类将会受到太空中的粒子辐射的影响。科学家认为，恰当的启程时间和合理的旅行周期将能确保宇航员的安全。
28. D【解析】作出判断推理。根据第一段的“One of them is the serious risk posed by particle radiation（辐射） from the sun, distant stars and galaxies（星系）.（其中之一是来自太阳、遥远恒星和星系的粒子辐射带来的严重风险）”和第二段的“Answering two key questions would go a long way towards overcoming that difficulty（回答两个关键问题将对克服这一困难大有帮助）”可推知，第一段的作用是介绍人类前往火星需要克服的一个难题。故选D项。
29. C【解析】词义猜测。根据画线词后的“from the radiation（从辐射）”可知，此处作者提出疑问：前往火星的恰当时机能否保护宇航员和宇宙飞船免受辐射的伤害。由此可知，shield 意为“保护；保卫”，与 protect 意思相近。故选C项。
30. B【解析】理解具体信息。根据第三段的“That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.（也就是说，人类应该能够安全地往返火星，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的保护，往返时间不超过大约4年）”可知，人类安全地往返火星是可行的，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的保护，而且往返时间少于四年。故选B项。
31. A【解析】理解主旨要义。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Answering two key questions would go a long way towards overcoming that difficulty: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help shield astronauts and the spacecraft from the radiation （回答两个关键问题将对克服这一困难大有帮助：粒子辐射是否会在往返火星的过程中对人类生命构成太严重的威胁？而且，前往火星的时间是否能够帮助宇航员和宇宙飞船免受辐射的伤害？）”和第三段的“That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, only if the spacecraft has enough protection and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years.（也就是说，人类应该能够安全地往返火星，前提是宇宙飞船有足够的保护，往返时间不超过大约4年）”可知，本文主要讲的是人类前往火星将会受到太空中的粒子辐射的影响。科学家认为合适的启程时间和合理的旅行周期将能确保宇航员的安全，故A项“Will It Be Safe for Humans to Fly to Mars （人类飞往火星会是安全的吗？）”可作本文标题。故选A项。
D
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为了对抗塑料购物袋带来的污染和其他环境问题，以沃尔玛为代表的大公司正在采取措施摆脱塑料购物袋的使用。沃尔玛公司提出了“超越袋子”计划，并在积极的实施中。
32. D【解析】作出判断推理。根据该句的前文“Unless you’ve been faithfully bringing reusable shopping bags to the store, you probably grab the plastic bags waiting for customers at the checkout.（除非你一直忠实地把可重复使用的购物袋带到商店，否则你很可能会在结账时拿走等待顾客的塑料袋。）”可知，只有可重复使用购物袋的忠实者会在购物时使用自备的购物袋，商店的结账台还是有供顾客使用的塑料袋的。由此推知，如果你不是可重复使用购物袋的忠实者，那么你会和其他人一样使用塑料袋。因此，“You’re not alone”应是表达“你和其他人一样在购物时使用塑料袋，即，还是有很多人在购物时选择使用塑料袋”。故选D项。
33. A【解析】理解主旨要义。通过阅读可知，“Unfortunately, single-use plastic bags have serious consequences once our trip to the store is over.（不幸的是，一旦我们去商店购物，一次性塑料袋就会产生严重的后果。）”为第二段的核心主旨句，因此可知，作

66．Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud to know that you are interested in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. That opened our eyes to the world. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more I can find you some books. Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．
This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations. We met every day and practiced passing
and kicking the football. At first, some complained that even the hardest practice couldn't change the fact that they were the last. The whole team was covered by the sense of depression and failure. What I could do at that time was to company them and try to cheer them up. Encouraged by my persistence, the team gathered the spirit of trying again and practiced even harder. This time, we sweated out in the fields instead of being the audience, watching and cheering. Every inch of the field has seen the effort of my team.
Six months later, football season started. After suffering our failure on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills of my life! From the game I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can influence the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves differently, and they built themselves into winners. Winners are made, not born.
