Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.
Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publication Toxicon.
The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.
More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.
Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.
“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.
Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.
The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.
“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.
4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By telling a story. B. By listing figures.
C. By referririg to documents. D. By making a comparison.
5. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer
A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.
B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.
C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.
D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.
6. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa
A. Lack of antivenom medication.
B. Environmental damage and climate change.
C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.
D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.
7. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text
A. It is taken from antibodies of sheep.
B. There is only one effective antivenom available.
C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.
D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.(肯尼亚母亲Beth Mwende听到熟睡中的孩子的哭喊,但在三岁的孩子很快安静下来后,她没有担心。然而,第二天早上,她发现女儿Mercy脖子上有两个咬痕,几乎失去了知觉。“我不知道那是一条蛇,”Mwende说)”可推知,作者通过讲故事来引入文章主题。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. (虽然蛇咬伤在她的家乡很常见,但抗蛇毒血清药物很难获得。Mwende住在肯尼亚首都内罗毕以东约160公里处。所以她带女儿去看传统治疗师)”可知,Mwende要带她的女儿去看传统治疗师因为她住的地方没有抗蛇毒血清药物。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.(在东非每年有超过7万人被咬伤。气候变化和森林砍伐使这一问题更加恶化,因为蛇被赶出自然环境,进入人口稠密的地区)”可知,环境破坏和气候变化导致东非发生了更多的蛇咬伤事件。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years.(肯尼亚蛇咬伤研究和干预中心(KSRIC)正在努力改变这一现状。KSRIC希望东非首个抗蛇毒血清药物能在五年内上市)”可知,KSRIC目前正试图开发一种本地抗蛇毒血清。故选C。
C
Scientists have recently discovered that Andean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.
The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.
Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.
The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.
Soaring without flapping is important because birds burn energy every time they flap their wings.
The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.
When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.
The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.
8. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text
A. They live mairly on small animals.
B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.
C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.
D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.
9. Why was the equipment tied to the birds
A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.
B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.
C. To calculate the energy required for their flight.
D. To confirm their flight patterns.
10. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor
A. Hunting for food. B. Flying in the sky.
C Getting off the ground. D. Landing on the ground.
11. What can we infer from the text
A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.
B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.
C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.
D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了秃鹫的体格,食肉属性,飞行规律等。秃鹫在起飞时会拍打翅膀,这会耗费它们很多能量,但在借助上升的热气流飞起来后,能保持飞行很长时间,而且耗能非常少。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists have recently discovered that Andean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.(科学家最近发现,安第斯秃鹰——世界上最大的鸟类之一——在飞行时几乎不拍打翅膀。相反,它们利用上升的气流在空气中停留数小时。)”可知,它们依靠热空气在高空停留。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.(科学家们一起研究了这些大型鸟类的飞行模式,以及它们飞行时的努力程度。为了研究这种鸟在空中飞行时的情况,研究人员安装了可以记录它们翅膀每一次跳动的特殊设备。)”可知,这些设备被绑在鸟身上用来记录它们飞行时拍打翅膀的频率。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off.(科学家们了解到,大多数秃鹫的拍动——超过75%——都是在它们起飞时发生的。)”和文章第五段“birds bum energy every time they flap their wings.(鸟儿每次扇动翅膀都要消耗能量。)”可知,起飞时耗能最大。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal(秃鹰的非起飞拍动是在它们接近地面并寻找新的热气流时进行的)”和文章最后一段“The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young, they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.(科学家们报告说,尽管他们研究的所有秃鹰都是年轻的,但它们很清楚如何利用气流。)”可推知,利用热气流翱翔可能是秃鹰的一种自然能力。故选D。
D
TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to be held but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it to cancel the event.
Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.
Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.
Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.
It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That will endow the games with special meaning beyond sports.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The virus’ global transmission.
B. People’ worry about the infections.
C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.
D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.
13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned
A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
14. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph
A. Compare. B. Equip. C. Provide. D. Charge.
15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead
B. Olympics big test for Japanese government
C. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games
D. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. B

47. 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。
I was touched through experiences, memories, books, stories, animals, angels, and most of all other people. People have moved me and molded (塑造) me with moments of love and examples of kindness.
One time on the day before Christmas many years ago when I was a mill worker with a minimum wage, I found myself with very little money and very little time to buy my small children a few simple toys. I knew that they would have to be cheap ones and I hoped my children would like them. I hated not having enough to give them more. I hated being poor. And I hated feeling bad at Christmas rather than happy.
I pulled into a store parking lot and counted my money again. It wasn’t much but maybe I could get something small with it. As I was getting out of the car I noticed the Salvation Army bellringer (撞钟人) at the entrance. I felt bad again because I didn’t feel I could spare anything to give him. I started walking towards the entrance when two cars pulled into empty parking spots in front of me. The first was a shiny, new Cadillac and I felt kind of jealous when I saw it. “How nice,” I thought, “would it be to have enough money to buy a car like that.” The second car, though, was an ancient sedan, more beat-up (破旧的) and rusty than the one I was driving.
A man hopped out of the Cadillac and hurried into the store right past the bellringer without a second glance. Out of the old sedan came a young mother with three small children. Her clothes looked a sworn-out as her car, yet she stopped in front of the bellringer, smiled, opened her purse, and dropped a bill in his red kettle.
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。
I stood there for a minute in astonishment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In that second a warmth touched me, my jealousy and hatred left me, and all the love and joy filled me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I stood there for a minute in astonishment. “Maybe,” I thought to myself, “it’s better to be rich on the inside instead of the outside.” That rich man should have done something to help the poor, but he didn’t. Sometimes it was really wrong to judge a person by his or her appearance. I really had respect for the poor mother from the bottom of my heart. She set a good example for her children.
In that second a warmth touched me, my jealousy and hatred left me, and all the love and joy filled me. I took out a bill from my own purse, dropped it in the Salvation Army kettle, and wished the bell ringer a merry Christmas. I found a few fun things to give my kids and drove home with my heart singing. I knew it was going to be a wonderful Christmas. I could hardly wait to see my children enjoying the presents bought for them, including a special gift—love for those in need.

Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.
Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publication Toxicon.
The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.
More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.
Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.
“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.
Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.
The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.
“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.
4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By telling a story. B. By listing figures.
C. By referririg to documents. D. By making a comparison.
5. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer
A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.
B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.
C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.
D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.
6. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa
A. Lack of antivenom medication.
B. Environmental damage and climate change.
C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.
D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.
7. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text
A. It is taken from antibodies of sheep.
B. There is only one effective antivenom available.
C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.
D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.
C
Scientists have recently discovered that Andean condors (秀鹫)— some of the world’s largest birds——barely flap their wings at all while flying. Instead, they use rising air currents to remain in the air for hours.
The Andean condor is the world’s largest soaring bird. They can weigh up to 15 kilograms. Their wings, when spread out, measure up to three meters. Their main food source is the meat of large animals which have died. Soaring high in the sky allows condors to easily spot possible meals on the ground.
Scientists worked together to study the flight patterns of these huge birds and how much effort the birds use when flying. To study the birds while they were in the sky, the researchers attached special devices which could record every beat of their wings.
The scientists learned that most of the condors’ flapping— over 75%— came when the birds were taking off. Once in the sky, the birds flew for very long periods of time without flapping at all. In fact, they only flapped their wings for 1% of the time they were in the air. One bird flew for over five hours without flapping, covering nearly 117miles.
Soaring without flapping is important because birds burn energy every time they flap their wings.
The birds’ soaring isn’t magic. They use the fact that hot air rises to keep themselves up. As hot air rises, it often creates “thermals”— currents of warm air moving upward. The condors soar by making use of these thermals. The tricky part is finding thermals and moving between them.
When birds are forced to land and take off again often, it costs them a lot of energy. The researchers learned that to avoid having to land, the condors did most of their non-take-off flapping when they were closer to the ground and looking for a new thermal.
The scientists reported that even though all of the condors they studied were young they knew well how to take advantage of the air currents.
8. What can we learn about the Andean condor from the text
A. They live mairly on small animals.
B. Their wingspan is at least three meters.
C. They rely on hot air to remain high in the sky.
D. They are the birds with the strongest flying ability.
9. Why was the equipment tied to the birds
A. To measure how far they could fly without flapping.
B. To keep track of how often they flapped while flying.
C To calculate the energy required for their flight.
D. To confirm their flight patterns.
10. Which of the following acts consumes the most energy for a condor
A. Hunting for food. B. Flying in the sky.
C. Getting off the ground. D. Landing on the ground.
11. What can we infer from the text
A. Condors flap the most when looking for a new thermal.
B. No condor can fly for more than five hours without flapping.
C. Condors don’t need to look for thermals when soaring in the sky.
D. Soaring by using thermals is probably a natural ability of condors.
D
TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to be held but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it to cancel the event.
Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.
Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.
Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.
It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That will endow the games with special meaning beyond sports.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The virus’ global transmission.
B. People’ worry about the infections.
C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.
D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.
13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned
A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Approving. D. Indifferent.
14. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph
A. Compare. B. Equip. C. Provide. D. Charge.
15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead
B. Olympics big test for Japanese government
C. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games
D. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games

With my Chinese improving during my studies, I became more ____39____ (independence) and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery.

47. 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。
I was touched through experiences, memories, books, stories, animals, angels, and most of all other people. People have moved me and molded (塑造) me with moments of love and examples of kindness.
One time on the day before Christmas many years ago when I was a mill worker with a minimum wage, I found myself with very little money and very little time to buy my small children a few simple toys. I knew that they would have to be cheap ones and I hoped my children would like them. I hated not having enough to give them more. I hated being poor. And I hated feeling bad at Christmas rather than happy.
I pulled into a store parking lot and counted my money again. It wasn’t much but maybe I could get something small with it. As I was getting out of the car I noticed the Salvation Army bellringer (撞钟人) at the entrance. I felt bad again because I didn’t feel I could spare anything to give him. I started walking towards the entrance when two cars pulled into empty parking spots in front of me. The first was a shiny, new Cadillac and I felt kind of jealous when I saw it. “How nice,” I thought, “would it be to have enough money to buy a car like that.” The second car, though, was an ancient sedan, more beat-up (破旧的) and rusty than the one I was driving.
A man hopped out of the Cadillac and hurried into the store right past the bellringer without a second glance. Out of the old sedan came a young mother with three small children. Her clothes looked a sworn-out as her car, yet she stopped in front of the bellringer, smiled, opened her purse, and dropped a bill in his red kettle.
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。
I stood there for a minute in astonishment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In that second a warmth touched me, my jealousy and hatred left me, and all the love and joy filled me.
