On an ordinary weekday evening，Jane was at home as usual.She was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening when unexpectedly she received an urgent (紧急) call from her sister，“Get over here！”
A few hours later，Jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah，picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.
Armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference，Jane，Davey，and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up.As they walked，sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day，they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States，picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish.In the end，three years and 3,672 miles later，they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific.
The road is winding，often uphill.“With a rubbish bag as your companion，how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference Where do you find the strength to keep going？” As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions，they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey.
A small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey.As they shared their deep concern for the environment，we together experienced their real spirit.Jane and Davey，like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community，might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects.In many ways，it is exactly what makes their story so attractive.
24．Why did Jane’s sister call her out
A．To ask her to prepare dinner for them.
B．To beg her to help them out of trouble.
C．To ask her to join them in their activity.
D．To ask for advice on picking up rubbish.
25．How did the group travel across the United States to gather rubbish
A．By bus. B．On foot.
C．By ship. D．By bike.
26．What gave the group the courage to go on their journey
A．Good teamwork spirit.
B．Great interest in traveling.
C．Great love of natural beauty.
D．Deep concern for the environment.
27．Which of the following can best describe Jane and her teammates
A．Ordinary people have done extraordinary things.
B．Their effort will stop nature from being polluted.
C．Their action is wiser than environmental projects.
D．They are famous heroes of environmental protection.
C
Accents are a sign of belonging and something that separates communities.Yet we can probably think of people who seem to have lost their accent and of others whose accent stays firmly in place.Given the personal and social importance of how someone speaks，why would anyone’s accent change
A conscious or subconscious desire to fit in can influence the way you speak.If someone moves from Australia to America to work，for example，they will probably at least change their accent in order to get a better sense of belonging.This may be out of a need or desire to be more clearly understood and to be accepted in a new community.They might also want to avoid ridicule for the way they speak.
For people whose accents do shift，the way they speak may be less important to their sense of identity，or their identity with a social or professional group may be more pressing.Even before we are born，we are exposed to the speech patterns of those around us.We progress through various stages of speech development that result in us having speech patterns similar to those around us.
For others whose accent does not seem to change，it could be because they feel safe in their identity，and their accent is much part of that identity—or that keeping the difference is valuable to them.
Meanwhile，brain damage may result in foreign accent syndrome(FAS)，which results from physical changes that are not under the speaker’s control.Suffering from FAS，speakers may lose the ability to speak at all or experience strange changes in the way they pronounce.In some cases，listeners might look down upon a person with FAS as they believe them to be foreigners.It’s no wonder many people unconsciously protect themselves by adapting their speech to those around them.
28．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The desire to fit in.
B．The change of career.
C．The adjustment of accents.
D．The influence on language.
29．What makes people choose to change their accents
A．The result of brain damage.
B．Their strong sense of identity.
C．Their desire to learn about locals.
D．The need to adapt to new environment.
30．What can we know about the people suffering from FAS
A．They may be taken as foreigners.
B．They can not help making a sound.
C．They suffer from emotional changes.
D．They may change accents to gain respect.
31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A．To explain the loss of accents.
B．To introduce the history of accents.
C．To analyze why accents are lost or kept.
D．To show the significance of accent changes.

The American space agency NASA says a spacecraft has entered the sun’s outermost atmosphere for the first time.Scientists announced that Parker Solar Probe traveled through the solar atmosphere’s outer edge，known as the corona (日冕)．They described the entry as a successful touch on the sun.
Unlike Earth，the sun does not have a solid surface.Instead，it is a superheated ball of material held together by gravity and magnetic(磁的) forces.The temperature of the corona is so high that the sun’s gravity cannot hold on to it and some solar material escapes from it and goes into space，which causes the solar wind.The solar wind is the flow of charged pieces，known as plasma.
Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 which mainly studied the solar wind.The sun is actually a magnetic variable star with solar activity happening nearly periodically.Scientists said being able to study the solar wind and the corona close up could help them better understand “the way the activity causes changes to the planet we live on”．
“We can actually see the spacecraft flying through the coronal structure during a total solar eclipse(日全食)，” Nour Raouafi，the project scientist，said，adding that it took them a few months to examine information from the spacecraft and to confirm the result and that the evidence used included data on magnetic fields and the solar wind，as well as images.Scientists reported Parker Solar Probe successfully went in and out of the corona at least three times.
The Parker team said early data also suggested the spacecraft may have entered the corona during its ninth close approach in August，but a further study is needed to make a confirmation.The spacecraft is expected to keep getting closer to the sun and diving deeper into the corona until its final orbit，planned for 2025.
32．What do we know about the solar wind from the text
A．It affects the corona’s temperature.
B．It functions as the surface of the sun.
C．It is caused by magnetic forces.
D．It comes from the sun’s outer atmosphere.
33．Why did NASA launch Parker Solar Probe
A．To find out why solar activity happens.
B．To know how solar activity influences Earth.
C．To get more evidence of the solar wind.
D．To take measures to control the solar wind.
34．What is the scientists’ attitude to their findings
A．Confused. B．Doubtful.
C．Cautious. D．Favorable.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Spacecraft Touches the Sun for the First Time
B．Parker Uncovers the Secrets of the Solar Wind
C．NASA Brought New Discoveries About the Sun
D．Parker Is Designed to Reach the Sun in 2025

Body Language Mistakes You Should Avoid at Work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore，you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself. 36
Avoiding eye contact
When speaking with a workmate，avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional. 37 It also shows that you are not interested in the topic.Therefore，you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.
Crossing your arms
38 In some cases doing so may reveal that you want to put a distance between yourself and them.This is generally considered as a position of defence which will probably result in unharmonious working atmosphere.So just keep your arms open to give others a warm feeling.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else.It looks like you are not interested in being there.Therefore，when you are speaking to your workmates，try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you. 39 It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.Also，keep your head high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don’t care much about the person you are shaking hands with. 40 However，don’t forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite.Therefore，try to find the right balance.
A．Nod your head to show that you are listening.
B．It may indicate that you are not self confident.
C．Try to greet the people with a strong handshake.
D．This shows that you have confidence in yourself.

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。
Before I was ten，my parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant for me.I had to admit that I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different.She was diagnosed(诊断) with “Asperger Syndrome”．This diagnosis turned my parents’ world upside down，but they never let it affect me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and become conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully developed.My sister，on the other hand，was socially awkward.She could not look at people in the eye.She would say to herself and repeat what she had just said.She，however，was good at studying，and thus we attended the same primary school.Despite this，I never accepted in public that she was my sister.There was one incident，however，just two years ago，that remained in my memory.It was the incident that changed how I viewed my sister.It was the incident that changed me.
When she was about to graduate in primary six，the school made it a must for everyone to put up a performance，in a group or individually.Due to her inability to integrate(融入群体)，my sister was the only one left without a group，so my sister had to perform individually.“I’ll sing，” my sister told my parents，somewhat confidently.Hearing that，I was completely shocked.How could my sister，who was socially awkward，sing in front of the school I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen，she would embarrass me，one way or another.“No！” I remembered protesting.My parents shot me a look.I knew my sister was to perform，and I was to be part of the audience watching her.Silently，I prayed that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister shame herself.The day finally came.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I sat in the hall，restless and uneasy，waiting for my sister to start her performance.
How did I not know that my sister could sing so beautifully

On an ordinary weekday evening，Jane was at home as usual.She was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening when unexpectedly she received an urgent (紧急) call from her sister，“Get over here！”
A few hours later，Jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah，picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.
Armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference，Jane，Davey，and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up.As they walked，sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day，they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States，picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish.In the end，three years and 3,672 miles later，they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific.
The road is winding，often uphill.“With a rubbish bag as your companion，how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference Where do you find the strength to keep going？” As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions，they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey.
A small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey.As they shared their deep concern for the environment，we together experienced their real spirit.Jane and Davey，like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community，might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects.In many ways，it is exactly what makes their story so attractive.

Accents are a sign of belonging and something that separates communities.Yet we can probably think of people who seem to have lost their accent and of others whose accent stays firmly in place.Given the personal and social importance of how someone speaks，why would anyone’s accent change
A conscious or subconscious desire to fit in can influence the way you speak.If someone moves from Australia to America to work，for example，they will probably at least change their accent in order to get a better sense of belonging.This may be out of a need or desire to be more clearly understood and to be accepted in a new community.They might also want to avoid ridicule for the way they speak.
For people whose accents do shift，the way they speak may be less important to their sense of identity，or their identity with a social or professional group may be more pressing.Even before we are born，we are exposed to the speech patterns of those around us.We progress through various stages of speech development that result in us having speech patterns similar to those around us.
For others whose accent does not seem to change，it could be because they feel safe in their identity，and their accent is much part of that identity—or that keeping the difference is valuable to them.
Meanwhile，brain damage may result in foreign accent syndrome(FAS)，which results from physical changes that are not under the speaker’s control.Suffering from FAS，speakers may lose the ability to speak at all or experience strange changes in the way they pronounce.In some cases，listeners might look down upon a person with FAS as they believe them to be foreigners.It’s no wonder many people unconsciously protect themselves by adapting their speech to those around them.
28．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The desire to fit in.
B．The change of career.
C．The adjustment of accents.
D．The influence on language.
答案　C
解析　代词指代题。根据画线词所在句及其上一句可知，如果有人从澳大利亚搬到美国工作，他们可能至少会改变口音以获得更好的归属感。这可能是出于需要或渴望被更清楚地理解并在新社区中被接受。故可知This指代的是“口音的调整”，故选C。
29．What makes people choose to change their accents
A．The result of brain damage.
B．Their strong sense of identity.
C．Their desire to learn about locals.
D．The need to adapt to new environment.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“A conscious or subconscious desire to fit in can influence the way you speak.”可知，适应新环境的需要使人们选择改变他们的口音，故选D。
30．What can we know about the people suffering from FAS
A．They may be taken as foreigners.
B．They can not help making a sound.
C．They suffer from emotional changes.
D．They may change accents to gain respect.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In some cases，listeners might look down upon a person with FAS as they believe them to be foreigners.”可知，患有FAS的人可能被视为外国人，故选A。

B．To introduce the history of accents.
C．To analyze why accents are lost or kept.

The American space agency NASA says a spacecraft has entered the sun’s outermost atmosphere for the first time.Scientists announced that Parker Solar Probe traveled through the solar atmosphere’s outer edge，known as the corona (日冕)．They described the entry as a successful touch on the sun.
Unlike Earth，the sun does not have a solid surface.Instead，it is a superheated ball of material held together by gravity and magnetic(磁的) forces.The temperature of the corona is so high that the sun’s gravity cannot hold on to it and some solar material escapes from it and goes into space，which causes the solar wind.The solar wind is the flow of charged pieces，known as plasma.
Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 which mainly studied the solar wind.The sun is actually a magnetic variable star with solar activity happening nearly periodically.Scientists said being able to study the solar wind and the corona close up could help them better understand “the way the activity causes changes to the planet we live on”．
“We can actually see the spacecraft flying through the coronal structure during a total solar eclipse(日全食)，” Nour Raouafi，the project scientist，said，adding that it took them a few months to examine information from the spacecraft and to confirm the result and that the evidence used included data on magnetic fields and the solar wind，as well as images.Scientists reported Parker Solar Probe successfully went in and out of the corona at least three times.
The Parker team said early data also suggested the spacecraft may have entered the corona during its ninth close approach in August，but a further study is needed to make a confirmation.The spacecraft is expected to keep getting closer to the sun and diving deeper into the corona until its final orbit，planned for 2025.

33．Why did NASA launch Parker Solar Probe
A．To find out why solar activity happens.
B．To know how solar activity influences Earth.
C．To get more evidence of the solar wind.

Body Language Mistakes You Should Avoid at Work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore，you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself. 36
Avoiding eye contact
When speaking with a workmate，avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional. 37 It also shows that you are not interested in the topic.Therefore，you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.
Crossing your arms
38 In some cases doing so may reveal that you want to put a distance between yourself and them.This is generally considered as a position of defence which will probably result in unharmonious working atmosphere.So just keep your arms open to give others a warm feeling.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else.It looks like you are not interested in being there.Therefore，when you are speaking to your workmates，try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you. 39 It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.Also，keep your head high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don’t care much about the person you are shaking hands with. 40 However，don’t forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite.Therefore，try to find the right balance.
A．Nod your head to show that you are listening.
B．It may indicate that you are not self confident.

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。
Before I was ten，my parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant for me.I had to admit that I had a very peaceful childhood and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different.She was diagnosed(诊断) with “Asperger Syndrome”．This diagnosis turned my parents’ world upside down，but they never let it affect me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and become conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully developed.My sister，on the other hand，was socially awkward.She could not look at people in the eye.She would say to herself and repeat what she had just said.She，however，was good at studying，and thus we attended the same primary school.Despite this，I never accepted in public that she was my sister.There was one incident，however，just two years ago，that remained in my memory.It was the incident that changed how I viewed my sister.It was the incident that changed me.
When she was about to graduate in primary six，the school made it a must for everyone to put up a performance，in a group or individually.Due to her inability to integrate(融入群体)，my sister was the only one left without a group，so my sister had to perform individually.“I’ll sing，” my sister told my parents，somewhat confidently.Hearing that，I was completely shocked.How could my sister，who was socially awkward，sing in front of the school I knew so very well that if I allowed this to happen，she would embarrass me，one way or another.“No！” I remembered protesting.My parents shot me a look.I knew my sister was to perform，and I was to be part of the audience watching her.Silently，I prayed that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister shame herself.The day finally came.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
I sat in the hall，restless and uneasy，waiting for my sister to start her performance.
How did I not know that my sister could sing so beautifully
