　　My sister Megan was babysitting at the Quinns’ house.It was around ten o’clock on a Friday night， Megan was watching TV and a loud knock on the door surprised her.
　　Megan spied through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man standing in the entryway.
　　“Who is it？” she asked.
　　“Your brother Ben.”
　　Megan realised the man had mistaken her for his sister.She replied， “Mrs Quinn can’t come to the door right now.” She thought of our mother’s warning： Never open the door for a stranger while you’re babysitting.
　　“The truth is I’m babysitting，” she said through the screen.The words were out of her mouth before she remembered her mother’s second warning： Don’t advertise that you’re alone.Megan quickly added， “Mrs Quinn will be home soon.”
　　“It’s awfully cold out here.Can I wait inside？” The man asked.
　　Megan hesitated.“Couldn’t you come back in a little while？ Mrs Quinn left a number for me to contact her，” she said.“I’ll call her and see what she says.”
　　The smile vanished from the man’s face.“You’re going to leave me outside to freeze to death in the meantime？ Wait until she finds out you wouldn’t let me in！ You’ll be in so much trouble！” With the words he left.
　　A little after eleven， Mrs Quinn came back home.Megan bit her lip.“I didn’t have any problems with the girls.But later your brother came to the door， and I was afraid to let him in.When I told him I wasn’t going to open the door， he got really mad at me and left.I’m sorry.”
　　Mrs Quinn frowned.“My brother？ I don’t have a brother！”
　　Megan was proud of herself for following her instincts （本能）.She had kept Mrs Quinn’s kids — and herself — safe that night.It was a valuable lesson for my sister and for me.

　　On Tuesday， China and Nepal announced a new height for the world’s tallest mountain， Mount Everest.After years of disagreeing on the mountain’s height， both sides have measured again — and discovered that it’s taller than anyone thought.
　　Sir George Everest， for whom the mountain is named， was the main surveyor of India in the mid-1800s.Radhanath Sikdar， an Indian man who worked for Mr Everest， was the first to realise it was the tallest mountain in the world.He calculated the height as being exactly 29，000 feet.
　　Mr Sikdar’s boss at the time added two feet to the height because he was afraid people wouldn’t believe a round number like 29，000.But the height that most people have been using for Mount Everest comes from a 1955 survey done by India.It puts the mountain’s height at 29，029 feet （8，848 meters）.
　　Since 1955， there have been other attempts to measure the mountain， each coming up with a different result.
　　Following a huge earthquake in Nepal in 2015， several scientists suggested measuring the mountain again.They believed that the earthquake could have made Mount Everest slightly shorter.
　　Last year， four surveyors from Nepal climbed Mount Everest and made new measurements， using GPS and satellite information.In May， China sent up its own team of surveyors.Because of the pandemic， they were the only ones to climb Mount Everest this year.Afterward， China and Nepal worked together to determine the mountain’s exact height.
　　Even Tuesday’s announcement during an online video call showed a high level of cooperation.The foreign ministers of China and Nepal pressed buttons at the same time， revealing the new height： 29，031.7 feet （8，848.86 meters）.
　　Though there is now a single height for Mount Everest that everyone can agree upon， the same is not true for its name.The peak is widely known as Mount Everest， but in Nepal， it’s called “Sagarmatha”， and in Xizang， it’s known as “Qomolangma”.
5.Why did Mr Sikdar’s boss add two feet to the height of Mount Everest？
A.To win people’s trust.
B.To attract more visitors.
C.To show their number is accurate.
D.To prove Mount Everest is the tallest.
6.What do we learn about some scientists’ prediction about the height of Mount Everest after the earthquake？
A.It sounded reasonable.
B.It proved to be scientific.
C.It was based on research.
D.It turned out to be wrong.
7.What change has happened to Mount Everest？
A.It has reduced 2.7 feet.
B.It has reduced 31.7 feet.
C.It has increased 2.7 feet.
D.It has increased 31.7 feet.
8.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Mount Everest Is Still the Tallest
B.Mount Everest Is Now Officially Taller
C.The Height of Mount Everest Is Uncertain
D.The Height of Mount Everest Causes Debate

Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己妹妹的一段经历，告诉我们一条生活常识——千万不要给陌生人开门。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第五、六段可知，是母亲的忠告帮助Megan作出了正确的决策。
2.B　推理判断题。根据文中男子说的话及上下文语境可知，这名男子想进门的要求一再被Megan拒绝，这时候他肯定非常恼怒。
3.B　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Quinn夫人根本没有什么哥哥或弟弟，可见那个男子是个图谋不轨的坏人；Megan的正确决策保证了孩子和自身的安全，Quinn夫人自然应该表扬她。
4.C　主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文通过Megan的一次危险经历，告诉我们遇到事情应该小心谨慎、以免酿成重大损失。C项谚语表达的意思是：小心不出大错/事前小心为上，好过事后遭殃。
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。世界第一高峰珠穆朗玛峰的确切高度究竟是多少？最近中国和尼泊尔共同宣布的最新数据是8，848.86米。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，Sikdar的老板之所以要在29，000这一数字上加两英尺，是因为他担心人们不会相信这一整数。
6.D　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，2015年尼泊尔大地震后，一些科学家认为珠峰的高度可能会降低；根据倒数第二段可知，测量结果是珠峰的高度反而增加了。
7.C　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，珠峰原来的高度是29，029英尺；根据倒数第二段可知，珠峰的最新高度是29，031.7英尺，增长了2.7英尺。
8.B　标题归纳题。综合全文可知，本文主要告诉我们这样一个重要事实——最新的官方研究结果证实，珠峰的高度增加了。因此B项为文章最佳标题。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从一开始的不爱跑步到最终完成了一次全程马拉松比赛的故事。
9.C　根据上文I felt great joy after freeing myself from one of those 2-mile gym fitness runs可知，作者为自己能够摆脱2英里的健身跑步感到开心。由此可知，作者讨厌跑步，对她来说，坚持跑步从来都不是很容易就能做到的事。
10.B　参见上题解析。come easily（活动、技能等对某人而言）轻而易举。
11.D　根据上文可知，不喜欢跑步的作者从没有想象过自己有一天会参加马拉松比赛。
12.A　根据下文Encouraged by her， I thought I could run at least one or two.In February， I started to walk a 2-mile route可知，因为受到患癌邻居的鼓舞，作者对跑步的态度发生了改变。
13.A　根据上文She was fifty years old， going through cancer以及下文Encouraged by her可知，虽然五十岁的Mrs Gray罹患癌症，但是她仍然坚持每周完成30英里的跑步锻炼。
14.B　根据下文Two months later， I finished a run of 6 miles.可知，作者在走路的过程中会尝试加入短距离的跑步，并在两个月后完成了6英里跑步。
15.D　本空与下文but I felt great为转折关系。作者在完成6英里的跑步后，虽然很疲惫，但是感觉很好。
16.A　在跑步的过程中，生理上和精神上的斗争从未停止，但是作者却很享受跑步过程中的每一分钟。
17.B　根据上文I didn’t need to compete against other runners.可知，作者认为在跑步中最重要的竞争对手不是别人而是自己。

19.A　根据上文entering some local road races可知，作者参加了当地的一些跑步比赛，不断地挑战自我，并且完成了两次半程马拉松比赛，因此她决定报名参加底特律国际马拉松赛。

21.D　根据上下文可知，整个夏天作者都在为了马拉松比赛而训练，她很享受自己的训练。
22.B　根据上文Race day finally came 可知，比赛的日子终于到了，作者激动不已。

LIVING LEGENDS①
Help us choose some “Living Legends of Sports”.They must be athletes② who are masters③ in their sports and also set good examples④ for others.Here are our first two choices.
　　Lang Ping
As a player， Lang Ping brought honour⑤ and glory⑥ to her country.As a coach， she led⑦ the China women’s volleyball team to medals⑧ at world championships⑨ and the Olympics.As a person， Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad.When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup， her determination⑩ was tested .The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart .One of the best players had been injured ， and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems.[1]Losing two important players was a big challenge， but Lang Ping did not lose heart .She had faced difficulties before， [2]and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team.Two weeks later， they were world champions！ Then in 2016， Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil.
　　[1]Losing two important players为动词-ing短语作主语。单个的动词-ing短语作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[2]that her young players ...as a team为that引导的宾语从句，作knew的宾语，该从句中还包含了一个由if引导的条件状语从句。
Michael Jordan
When Michael Jordan’s feet left the ground， time seemed to stand still .The player who became known as “Air Jordan” changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps.Jordan’s skills were impressive， but the mental strength that he showed made him unique.In the final seconds of a game，[3]Jordan always seemed to find a way to win.Jordan says that the secret to his success [4]is learning from his failures .“I can accept failure； everyone fails at something.But I can’t accept not trying.” Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up.In life， Jordan has learnt to share his success with others.[5]The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.
　　[3]to win为动词不定式作后置定语，修饰way。
[4]learning from his failures为动词-ing短语作表语。
[5]本句为复合句。其中which he started in Chicago为定语从句，修饰先行词The Boys and Girls Club；主句的时态为现在完成进行时，表示help这一动作从1996年开始，一直延续到现在，还有可能继续延续下去，强调动作的延续性。

活着的传奇
来帮助我们选出一些“体育界的活传奇”吧。他们必须是所在运动项目上的高手，并且是他人学习的楷模。以下是我们首批遴选出的两位传奇人物。
郎平
作为一名运动员，郎平为她的祖国赢得了诸多荣誉；作为一名教练，她带领中国女子排球队在世界锦标赛和奥运会赛场上屡获殊荣；作为个人，郎平深受国内外球迷的喜爱。当中国队备战2015年世界杯时，她的决心受到了考验。由郎平一手打造的团队正处于崩溃的边缘。最优秀的队员中有一人受伤了，而且队长也因心脏问题离队。损失两大主力队员是个巨大的挑战，但是郎平没有气馁。她曾面临过各种困难，她知道只要她这些年轻的球员们齐心协力，就能获胜。两周之后，她们真成了世界冠军！紧接着在2016年，郎平又带领她的球队在巴西勇夺奥运金牌。
　　迈克尔·乔丹
当迈克尔·乔丹双脚离地的那一瞬间，时间似乎都凝固了。这位被称为“飞人乔丹”的球员用他优雅的动作和跳跃改变了篮球运动。乔丹的球技令人赞叹，然而他所展示的精神力量使他成为一名独一无二的球星。在比赛的最后几秒钟，乔丹似乎总能找到制胜的方法。乔丹说，他成功的秘诀在于吸取自己失败的教训。“我可以接受失败，每个人都会遭遇失败；但我决不能接受不去尝试。”赛场上的失利教会他要更加努力地训练和绝不放弃。在生活中，乔丹学会了与他人分享自己的成功。他（乔丹）在芝加哥所创建的“男孩女孩俱乐部”从1996年至今一直在帮助年轻人。

活着的传奇
来帮助我们选出一些“体育界的活传奇”吧。他们必须是所在运动
项目上的高手，并且是他人学习的楷模。以下是我们首批遴选出的两
位传奇人物。
郎平
作为一名运动员，郎平为她的祖国赢得了诸多荣誉；作为一名教
练，她带领中国女子排球队在世界锦标赛和奥运会赛场上屡获殊荣；
作为个人，郎平深受国内外球迷的喜爱。当中国队备战2015年世界杯
时，她的决心受到了考验。由郎平一手打造的团队正处于崩溃的边
缘。最优秀的队员中有一人受伤了，而且队长也因心脏问题离队。损
失两大主力队员是个巨大的挑战，但是郎平没有气馁。她曾面临过各
种困难，她知道只要她这些年轻的球员们齐心协力，就能获胜。两周
之后，她们真成了世界冠军！紧接着在2016年，郎平又带领她的球队
在巴西勇夺奥运金牌。
迈克尔·乔丹
当迈克尔·乔丹双脚离地的那一瞬间，时间似乎都凝固了。这位被
称为“飞人乔丹”的球员用他优雅的动作和跳跃改变了篮球运动。乔丹
的球技令人赞叹，然而他所展示的精神力量使他成为一名独一无二的
球星。在比赛的最后几秒钟，乔丹似乎总能找到制胜的方法。乔丹
说，他成功的秘诀在于吸取自己失败的教训。“我可以接受失败，每
个人都会遭遇失败；但我决不能接受不去尝试。”赛场上的失利教会
他要更加努力地训练和绝不放弃。在生活中，乔丹学会了与他人分享
自己的成功。他（乔丹）在芝加哥所创建的“男孩女孩俱乐部”从1996
年至今一直在帮助年轻人。
请将你推荐的“体育界的活传奇”发送至LLS @。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　My sister Megan was babysitting at the Quinns’ house.It was around
ten o’clock on a Friday night， Megan was watching TV and a loud knock
on the door surprised her.
　　Megan spied through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man
standing in the entryway.
　　“Who is it？” she asked.
　　“Your brother Ben.”
　　Megan realised the man had mistaken her for his sister.She replied，
“Mrs Quinn can’t come to the door right now.” She thought of our mother’s
warning： Never open the door for a stranger while you’re babysitting.
　　“The truth is I’m babysitting，” she said through the screen.The
words were out of her mouth before she remembered her mother’s second
warning： Don’t advertise that you’re alone.Megan quickly added， “Mrs
Quinn will be home soon.”
　　“It’s awfully cold out here.Can I wait inside？” The man asked.
　　Megan hesitated.“Couldn’t you come back in a little while？ Mrs
Quinn left a number for me to contact her，” she said.“I’ll call her and see
what she says.”
　　The smile vanished from the man’s face.“You’re going to leave me
outside to freeze to death in the meantime？ Wait until she finds out you
wouldn’t let me in！ You’ll be in so much trouble！” With the words he
left.
　　A little after eleven， Mrs Quinn came back home.Megan bit her
lip.“I didn’t have any problems with the girls.But later your brother came
to the door， and I was afraid to let him in.When I told him I wasn’t going
to open the door， he got really mad at me and left.I’m sorry.”
　　Mrs Quinn frowned.“My brother？ I don’t have a brother！”
　　Megan was proud of herself for following her instincts （本能）.She
had kept Mrs Quinn’s kids — and herself — safe that night.It was a
valuable lesson for my sister and for me.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己妹妹的一段经历，告
诉我们一条生活常识——千万不要给陌生人开门。
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己妹妹的一段经历，告
诉我们一条生活常识——千万不要给陌生人开门。
1. What helped Megan to make a decision？
A. Her own wisdom. B. The man’s request.
C. Mrs Quinn’s advice. D. Her mother’s words.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第五、六段可知，是母亲的忠告帮助
Megan作出了正确的决策。
2. How did the man feel when he left？
A. Very satisfied.
B. Very annoyed.
C. Very confused.
D. Very surprised.
解析：　推理判断题。根据文中男子说的话及上下文语境可
知，这名男子想进门的要求一再被Megan拒绝，这时候他肯定非
常恼怒。
3. What would Mrs Quinn probably do in the end？
A. She would scold Megan.
B. She would praise Megan.
C. She would call the police.
D. She would phone the man.
解析：　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Quinn夫人根本没有什
么哥哥或弟弟，可见那个男子是个图谋不轨的坏人；Megan的正确
决策保证了孩子和自身的安全，Quinn夫人自然应该表扬她。
4. Which saying can best express the main idea of the text？
A. Nobody is perfect.
B. Nothing is impossible.
C. Better be safe than sorry.
D. It’s easier said than done.
解析：　主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文通过Megan的一次

失。C项谚语表达的意思是：小心不出大错/事前小心为上，好过
事后遭殃。
B
　　On Tuesday， China and Nepal announced a new height for the
world’s tallest mountain， Mount Everest.After years of disagreeing on the
mountain’s height， both sides have measured again — and discovered
that it’s taller than anyone thought.
　　Sir George Everest， for whom the mountain is named， was the
main surveyor of India in the mid-1800s.Radhanath Sikdar， an Indian
man who worked for Mr Everest， was the first to realise it was the tallest
mountain in the world.He calculated the height as being exactly 29，000
feet.
　　Mr Sikdar’s boss at the time added two feet to the height because he
was afraid people wouldn’t believe a round number like 29，000.But the
height that most people have been using for Mount Everest comes from a
1955 survey done by India.It puts the mountain’s height at 29，029 feet
（8，848 meters）.
　　Since 1955， there have been other attempts to measure the
mountain， each coming up with a different result.
　　Following a huge earthquake in Nepal in 2015， several scientists
suggested measuring the mountain again.They believed that the earthquake
could have made Mount Everest slightly shorter.
　　Last year， four surveyors from Nepal climbed Mount Everest and
made new measurements， using GPS and satellite information.In May，
China sent up its own team of surveyors.Because of the pandemic， they
were the only ones to climb Mount Everest this year.Afterward， China
and Nepal worked together to determine the mountain’s exact height.
　　Even Tuesday’s announcement during an online video call showed a
high level of cooperation.The foreign ministers of China and Nepal pressed
