Mr. Read was born in a small village with high mountains all around it.He has few fields and he
can’t get enough food for his family.He’s often worried about it．So he works harder and harder and tries
his best to get more money．
One afternoon，Mr. Read went out to look for some grass for his cows．It was very hot and he had to
have a swim．Suddenly he saw a big tortoise in the water.He swam there and caught it．The next morning
he went to the town to sell it in the markets.When he was walking in the street, a car hit him down and
he was hurt.He was sent to hospital at once.The doctors looked him over and had an operation on
him．Two weeks later he felt much better．The doctors were satisfied with the operation and said，“You’ll
be fully recovered in a week.We’re sure you can write when you leave hospital．”
“It’s really a miracle（奇迹）！”shouted Mr. Read，“I could neither read nor write before！”
24．The Reads have little food because ___________.
A．they have few fields B．they live in a small village

A．head B．leg C．right hand D． left hand

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses
with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why
3
Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on
the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at
school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parent s are always taking
good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to
you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do
something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you
can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also
say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you
meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to
challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes,
life is like a revolving(旋转 ) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you
can be a happy and lucky person.
28. Happiness is for_________.
A. those who have large and beautiful houses B. all people
C. those who have a lot of money D. those who have cars

30. Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money” Because ___________.
A. money always brings happiness B. everything can be bought with money
C. money doesn’t always bring happiness D. only rich people have happiness
31. Which is the title of the passage
A. Do Something Good to Others B. Happy and Lucky
C. Happiness D. Life and Success
D
COVID herd immunity（群体免疫）will not happen in 2021
World Health Organization (WHO) chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said Monday that herd
immunity to coronavirus would not be achieved in 2021, despite the growing availability of vaccines（疫苗
产量）.
Factors that delay herd immunity include limited access to vaccines in developing countries,
skepticism（怀疑） over vaccination, and the potential for virus mutations（变异）, according to health
experts.
A growing number of countries around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom,
Singapore, Germany and other European Union countries, are in the first stages of mass-vaccination
campaigns.
Herd immunity occurs when enough people in a population have immunity to an infection so that it
prevents the disease from spreading.
“We are not going to achieve any levels of population immunity or herd immunity in 2021,”
4
Swaminathan told a briefing, while emphasizing that measures like physical distancing, hand washing and
mask wearing continue to be necessary in containing COVID’s spread for the rest of the year.
However, Swaminathan praised the “incredible progress” made by vaccine researchers to develop
several safe and effective vaccines at unprecedented speed. Countries are currently administering vaccines
developed by BioNTech-Pfizer, Oxford University/AstraZeneca and Moderna.
“The vaccines are going to come,” she said. “They are going to go to all countries ... but meanwhile
we mustn’t forget that there are measures that work,” she added, referring to hygiene and social distancing.
“We won’t get back to normal quickly,” Dale Fisher, chairman of the WHO’s Outbreak Alert and
Response Network, told a conference hosted by Reuters news agency. “We know we need to get to herd
immunity and we need that in a majority of countries, but we are not going to see that in 2021,” Fisher said.
“There might be some countries that might achieve it but even then that will not create ‘normal’ especially
in terms of border controls,” he added.
32. As for the first stages of mass-vaccination campaigns, which country is NOT mentioned in the
passage
A. Germany B.Vietnam C. Singapore D. the United Kingdom
33. Which of the following are NOT the factors that delay herd immunity
A. People are skeptical about vaccination.
B. Access to vaccines in developing countries is limited.
C. Virus mutations are likely to happen.
D.A growing number of countries begin mass-vaccination campaigns.
34. What is the attitude of Swaminathan to the progress of vaccine development
A.unclear B. negative C. positive D. indifferent
35.What can we learn from what Fisher said
A. There maybe a long way to get to herd immunity all over the world.
B. If some countries might achieve herd immunity, people will live a ‘normal’ life
C. In terms of good border controls, we can achieve herd immunity.
D. In many countries in 2021, people will live a ‘normal’ life in terms of border controls.
第三部分、七选五（共 5小题：每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选
出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your
memory and perform well in your exam ___36___
● Try the Memory Palace.
For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in
your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen. Then you can mentally travel through your house to
recall each word.___37___
● Create your own songs.
This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can
use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember. The more
interesting you make them, the better the result will be.
● Take some deep breaths.
___38___ If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam.
You should put some energy into de-stressing but “turning of” stress is easier said than done. That’s why
5
scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice tests are not only a scientifically supported means of
improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations.
● ___39___
If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15
minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a
simple walk can make a difference.
There are so many suggested methods for you. ___40___ If you know that studying alone works best
for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school.
A. Reread your notes.
B. Try a mini exercise.
C. Try the following methods.
D. We know exams are stressful.
E. Skip out all the practice tests on purpose.
