From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island in Zhejiang Province. He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns (中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years.
The medium-sized bird is 30-40 centimeters long, with gray wings and a white body. It was first discovered in Indonesia by Heinrich Bernstein in 1861. It has since been sighted only in small numbers around the world. The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out.
Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. “I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,” he says.
Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team.
Ding’s contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year, who named him one of the city’s “most beautiful people”. “Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says.
24. Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found in 2000
A．They were spotted by a photographer instead of them.
B．The event made them ashamed.
C．They were unable to catch them.
D．They thought the birds were extinct.
25. What was the main reason why Ding decided to take the job offer
A．His life experience in his hometown.
B．His major.
C．A good salary.
D．The beautiful scenery.
26. How was Ding’s life on the islands
A．Adventurous.
B．Enjoyable.
C．Difficult.
D．Inspiring.
27. What does Ding think of his team’s work
A．It’s fruitful.
B．It’s perfect.
C．It’s regrettable.
D．It’s pointless.

My mother, a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school. She'd sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening. This went on for 23 years. She never complained (抱怨). No matter how tired she was, she always had enough energy to be my mom.
She often had to work on Christmas, Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, and sometimes Thanksgiving, which made me upset. However, before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house. She'd also have cookies baking in the oven, a holiday-themed movie in the VCR, and music playing throughout our house for us. But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. “Why do you have to work on this day of all days " I'd ask sadly. "They need me, too, dear son," she'd respond, compassion (同情) in her tone.
For a long time I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in hospitals. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked heart, blood and oxygen levels, made sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses displayed consideration for each patient.
What I saw helped me to understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation. I was filled with more admiration for my mother.
28. Why did the author's mother work in the evening
A．To take him to school.
B．To enjoy a movie.
C．To decorate their house.
D．To sleep during the day.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A．The mother loved her patients more than her kids.
B．Nurses are paid double salary working on holidays.
C．The author wished his mother could stay home on holidays.
D．Only people with mercy on patients will make good nurses.
30. The author really understood his mother's work when___________.
A．he asked his mother to stay with him during holidays
B．he looked after his sick grandma in hospital
C．he saw how tired his mother was after work
D．he helped patients to the bathroom
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Children of nurses are often dissatisfied with their mothers.
B．Nurses are particularly busy at work during holidays.
C．The author gained a new appreciation of his mother.
D．The author's mother liked doing housework.

When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
32. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started
A．It faced tough competition.
B．It suffered a great loss.
C．It got lots of financial support.
D．It went surprisingly well.
33. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants
A．They appeal more to students.
B．They purify the environment.
C．They raise the cortisol level.
D．They enhance productivity.
34. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers
A．The necessity of social skills.
B．The meaning of sustainability.
C．The importance of repeated efforts.
D．The value of professional opinions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Time to Replace Houseplants
B．Plants Boost Your Mood
C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants
D．Plants Brighten Your Home

六、书面表达
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。
As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a night owl. Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears.
Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started to study, I would race through the assigned work, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework No way! I would never do that.
Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. “You’re 20, but your heart is 40!” he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右。

Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change.

Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off.

Dear Eric,
How is everything going these days
I’m writing to tell you about our school’s annual Campus Culture Week held last week in the school hall.
We enjoyed various activities. Experts gave lectures on traditional Chinese culture. There were exhibitions of calligraphy, paintings and handcrafts. We also took part in paper-cutting competitions.
I learned a lot about our splendid culture and felt extremely proud. Hope you can experience it one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
67.读后续写范文
Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. I made a strict daily schedule and promised myself to go to bed before 11 p.m. I stopped scrolling through short videos and chatting online late at night. Instead, I read quiet books or listened to soft light music to relax myself. Every morning I forced myself to get up at seven to finish homework with a clear mind. At first, I suffered from sleepiness, yet I never gave up and kept to my new timetable.
Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. I fell asleep quickly every night and woke up energetic each morning. The sharp chest pain and terrible headache never bothered me again. My study efficiency improved greatly as I focused better in the daytime. This experience taught me that regular rest is the foundation of health, and nothing is more valuable than a healthy body.
