Plan your dream vacation to one of these excellent destinations.
St. Lucia
Abundant rainforests and splendid mountains are all reasons to visit this Caribbean island. St. Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. To take in the breathtaking scenery, plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.
Banff. Alberta
This Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake can’t be underestimated (低估).
Machu Picchu
According to travelers, a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.
Great Barrier Reef
It’s easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs, 900 islands and more than 1,500 species of fish. Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater. However, large amounts of coral bleaching (褪色) caused by rising ocean temperatures put this place’s continued existence at risk, so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.
1. What can you enjoy both in St. Lucia and Banff
A. Diving. B. Snowboarding.
C. Hiking. D. Skiing.
2. Where may a historian choose to go
A. Machu Picchu. B. Banff. Alberta.

Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. hoped to have the food first and pay later
C. forgot to take his credit card with him
D. could not afford anything more expensive
5. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman
A. Kind and lucky. B. Friendly and helpful.
C. Poor and lonely. D. Hurt and disappointed.
6. Why did the author refuse the old gentle man’s request first
A. He considered the old man dishonest.
B. He felt no pity for the old gentleman.
C. He wanted to keep his present job.
D. He expected someone else to pay for the old man.
7. What lesson did the author learn from this experience
A. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
B. Wealth is most important in older age.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Compassion means helping in some way.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者通过一位老人买饼干而没钱付账的经历告诉我们可以把同情的愿望转化为行动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.”可知,结账时这个老人说自己没有钱了,问我他可不可以先把饼干拿走,第二天再把钱送来,故B项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段老人身上连买饼干的钱都没有及第二段中的“all alone in the world.”可知,他又穷又孤独,故C项正确。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.”可知,商店的规定不允许先拿货后付钱,作者想保住这份工作所以不敢违反规定,故C项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. ”可知,同情是我们内心帮助别人的愿望,通过努力,我们可以把它转化为行动,也就是说作者从这个经历中学到了同情意味着以某种方式帮助别人,故D项正确。
【点睛】哲理感悟题需要从文章的议论部分入手,这是由夹叙夹议文的文体特点决定的,例如本篇第4题,根据第一段中的“Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true.”可知,上周末的一个经历告诉我通过努力,我们可以把同情的愿望转化为行动,也就是说同情意味着以某种方式帮助别人。
C
If the three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) is a guideline to save the planet, garbage-sorting is where the efforts start. Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.
Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residents to sort their garbage. According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap.
Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18 cities, including Shanghai, Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Shanghai first enacted a mandatory garbage-sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate among its housing estates.
According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted. According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some previous garbage regulations didn’t include fines for people who failed to obey them.
“It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering.”
8. What can we learn about the new regulation in Beijing
A. It hasn’t been put into use yet.
B. Residents can sort the garbage as they like.
C. People can get money if they classify their domestic waste correctly.
D. Those who can’t sort the garbage as the new rule requires shall be fined.
9. What’s the problem in garbage sorting in China
A. Most people are unaware of its importance in protecting environment.
B. Some people don’t want to take the trouble to sort the garbage.
C. Only residents in big cities can sort the trash correctly.
D. The government doesn’t have enough money to support garbage sorting.
10. What can we infer from Liu Jianguo’s words
A. It’s difficult to carry out garbage sorting in China.
B. Some laws in garbage-sorting are needed.
C. People in developed countries can better sort the garbage.
D. We should learn from Japan.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Garbage sorting, a new start in China B. New regulations in Beijing
C. Argument on garbage sorting D. How to sort domestic garbage
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了自5月1日起,北京开始实施强制垃圾分类,以更好地保护环境。文章介绍了这一政策的相关规定,说明了如今中国垃圾分类的现状和存在的一些问题,以及其他人对于中国垃圾分类的一些看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.可知据新华社报道,没有对垃圾进行分类的人将被处以50元到200元的罚款。由此可知,那些不能按照北京新规则的要求进行垃圾分类的人将被罚款。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted. According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste.可知然而,垃圾分类在中国仍然是一个大问题。报告指出,只有30%的受访者表示,他们认为自己已经完全对垃圾进行了分类。据新华社报道,部分原因是许多人不愿意对自己的垃圾进行分类。由此可知,中国垃圾分类的问题是有些人嫌垃圾分类麻烦。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering.”可知清华大学教授刘建国在接受《中国日报》采访时表示:“推广垃圾分类必须有法律保障。除中国外,德国、西班牙和英国等许多国家也要求人们对垃圾进行分类。在日本,垃圾分类的时间是固定的。”由此可推知,刘建国认为需要制定一些垃圾分类的法律。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.可知自5月1日起,北京开始实施强制垃圾分类,以更好地保护环境。根据新规定,居民需要将生活垃圾分为四类:厨房垃圾、可回收垃圾、有害垃圾和其他垃圾。据新华社报道,没有对垃圾进行分类的人将被处以50元到200元的罚款。结合文章主要说明了自5月1日起,北京开始实施强制垃圾分类,以更好地保护环境。文章介绍了这一政策的相关规定,说明了如今中国垃圾分类的现状和存在的一些问题,以及其他人对于中国垃圾分类的一些看法。由此可知,A选项“垃圾分类,中国的新起点”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
When parents discover their children have lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasures are capable of such a trick. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.
Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children's honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.
The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with(未受惩罚) almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a“truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other people's children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.
Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said,“The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children's lies. Parents' truth bias may result in parents being less doubtful about their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.
Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people's children.
12. What does the underlined word“impair”in Paragraph 2 mean
A. show B. develop
C. damage D. recognize
13. When lying to their parents, children can't be easily found because ________.
A. their parents pretend not to see the lies B. their parents aren't prepared for the lies
C. they are very good at hiding their lies D. they know how to lie to their parents
14. What does Dr Evans want to find about children's lying
A. What makes parents lose trust in their children
B. What causes children to tell lies to their parents
C. What makes parents fail to see their children's lies
D. What affects children's relations with their parents
15. What can be inferred from Dr Evans's study in the last two paragraphs
A. Parents tend to protect their own children
B. Lying is a part of children's development
C. Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies
D. Parents can judge lies told by children of others more easily
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述父母对孩子的诚实过于自信,和自己孩子的亲密关系而无法察觉孩子的谎言,所以当发现孩子说谎时感到震惊,并对此原因进行了研究和说明。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.(但新的研究表明,许多父母甚至可能没有注意到他们的孩子对他们说的许多谎言)” 以及这个单词的上半句“Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children's honesty(心理学家发现,大多数父母对孩子的诚实过于自信)”由此可知父母可能会忽视自己的孩子说谎,由此推断“this may impair their ability to discover a lie. ”意为这可能会破坏或者削弱父母发现孩子说谎的能力,故猜测impair意为“削弱,破坏”, A. show展示;B. develop开发;C. damage损坏;D. recognize认出,故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children's honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie. The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with(未受惩罚) almost anything even in the face of the evidence.(心理学家发现,大多数父母对孩子的诚实过于自信,这可能会削弱他们发现谎言的能力。这些发现可能有助于解释为什么一些父母似乎愿意让他们的孩子侥幸逃脱,即使面对证据。)”和第四段“The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children's lies. (父母与孩子之间的亲密关系可能会导致父母无法察觉孩子的谎言)”等内容可知父母对孩子过于自信,不愿意接受孩子说谎的事实,父母和孩子关系亲密,一般无法察觉孩子的谎言,即他们对孩子说谎的事实没有做好心理准备。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children's lies. Parents' truth bias may result in parents being less doubtful about their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”( 加拿大布鲁克大学的心理学家安吉拉·埃文斯博士说:“父母与孩子之间的亲密关系可能会导致父母无法察觉孩子的谎言。父母的真相偏见可能会导致父母减少对孩子的怀疑,从而让他们成功地欺骗孩子。”)”可知,他想要发现父母不能成功识别孩子谎言的原因,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people's children.(随后,研究人员将那些否认自己偷看的孩子的视频展示给152名8岁至16岁孩子的父母看,其中的80人的孩子也参加了测试。研究人员发现,父母辨别自己孩子的谎言的能力不如辨别别人孩子的谎言的能力)”可推断,父母判断别人的孩子说谎比判断自己孩子说谎更容易,故选D。
第二节 阅读填空 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10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。
There is a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments in life. In fact, it’s possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. ___16___
Whatever your station in life, everyone will face what I call the 3Cs: changes, challenges and choices. The following are some simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments.
___17___
Most people see with their eyes but very few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but also what they don’t say. Reading body language and voice inflection (音调变化) can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.
Learn to go with the flow.
The people who learn to make the best life adjustments can develop the habit of going with the flow. ___18___ Notice people who can go with the flow and you will find a person with sharp instincts they depend on.
___19___
If you can keep an attitude of preparation for 3Cs, you’ll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments.
As the saying goes if you stay ready, you do not have to get ready. ___20___
A. Listen to what people don’t say.
B. So, what’s one of the key factors for people who fail to make life adjustments
C. Learn to think with your eyes and ears.
D. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts.
E. Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices.
F. The key is in knowing where they are needed and how much.
G. That’s the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,每个人在生活中会面对3Cs(变化、挑战和选择),对于它们,文章给出了一些简单有效的建议帮助读者做出有效的生活调整,从而变得成功。
【16题详解】
由上一句“事实上,通过正确的调整,有可能把失败变成成功。”可知,承接上文,F选项“关键是要知道哪里需要它们,需要多少。”切题。该选项中的they对应上文中的the right adjustments。故选F项。
【17题详解】
此空是小标题,应从ACE三项中做出选择。由下文的“大多数人用眼睛看,但很少有人知道如何观察。看和观察的区别就像阅读和学习的区别。帮助你更好地倾听的一个因素是不仅要听别人说什么,还要听别人没说什么。”可知,承接下文,C选项“学会用眼睛和耳朵思考。”切题。该选项中的eyes and ears对应下文中的observe和hear。故选C项。
18题详解】
由空前一句“学会调整生活的人可以养成随波逐流的习惯。”和空后一句“学注意那些能随波逐流的人,你会发现一个依赖敏锐直觉的人。”可知,承接上下文,D选项“最好的办法就是相信你的直觉。”切题。该选项中的instincts对应下文中的sharp instincts。故选D项。
【19题详解】
此空是小标题,应从ACE三项中做出选择。由下文中的“如果你能保持一种为3Cs做准备的态度,你将有最好的机会做出有效的生活调整。”可知,承接下文,E选项“为变化、挑战和选择做好准备。”切题。该选项中的Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices对应下文中的preparation for 3Cs。故选E项。
【20题详解】
由上一句“俗话说,如果你准备好了,就不需要准备。”可知,承接上文,G选项“对于那些想作出最好的生活调整并取得胜利的人来说,这是最好的建议!”切题。故选G项。
【点睛】第一、通读全文,了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程,目的是了解文章大意,为以后的理解做铺垫。
第二、明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系,要么和下文有联系,要么和上下文都有联系。例如第1、5小题都与它们的前一句有联系。
第三、带入通读,复查。
做完题目切忌直接离开,这时我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍,将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读,这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方,很有可能是我们填错了空,就要复查了,注意:七选五的特点在于,错一道,往往还会错另外的一道或几道,我们叫做“连错”,所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时,一定要同时检查其它空。
第三部分:完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述用英语写日记的好处。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:用英语记日记是提高我们写作能力的有效方法之一。根据句意可知,提示词effect在句中作定语,修饰名词ways,应用形容词effective,意为“有效的”。故填effective。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与其他形式的写作相比,日记更短,花费的时间更少。分析句子可知,提示词compare在句中作状语,与其逻辑主语it之间是被动关系,应使用过去分词形式,表被动,另外,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Compared。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:与其他形式的写作相比,日记更短,花费的时间更少。结合句意,分析句子可知,提示词little与比较级形容词shorter是并列关系,也应使用比较级,又因time是不可数名词,所以应用形容词little的比较级less,修饰不可数名词。故填less。
【44题详解】
考查从属连词。句意:如果我们坚持这种做法,渐渐就学会怎样用英语表达自己。根据句意可知,“we insist in this practice”是“gradually we’ll learn how to express (we) in English.”的条件,因此用if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”,另外,句首单词首字母要大写。故填If。
【45题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:如果坚持这种做法,我们渐渐就学会如何用英语表达自己。反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词具有互指关系,通常当主语与宾语是同一人或物时才使用反身代词。根据句意“我们学会如何表达自己”可知,此处主语we发出的动作施加在自己身上,应使用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意:在用英语记日记过程中,我们肯定遇到许多困难。形容词many修饰复数名词,应用提示词difficult的名词difficulty的复数形式difficulties。故填difficulties。
【47题详解】
考查形式主语。句意:首先,我们常常很难找到合适的词语来表达我们的思想。“It happens that...”是固定句型,意为“碰巧……”,其中it是形式主语,that从句是真正的主语;分析句子可知,句中“that we have trouble (find) proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind.”是真正的主语,因此句首使用形式主语it。故填it。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:首先,我们常常很难找到合适的词语来表达我们的思想。have trouble (in) doing...为固定搭配,表示“做……有困难”,用动名词finding作宾语。故填finding。
【49题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:就我而言,我的建议是我们应该随时准备一本笔记本和一本汉英词典。as far as I am concerned是固定短语,表示“就我而言”。故填concerned。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:总之,我相信用英语写日记对提高我们的写作能力是很有用的。根据句意可知,句中特指写作技巧的培养,应使用定冠词the。故填the。
第二节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
51. 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。短文中有10处错误,每句最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧),并在此符号下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(﹨)划掉
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1、每处错误及修改均仅限一词。
2、只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
I was on my way school this afternoon when I met with a young American couple. They looked worrying, so I went up to them and asked if only they'd like any help. They said that they wanted to go to the railway station, but they didn't know the way. Heard this, I offered to lead them here. They were so thankful to me that they said "thank you" again and again but I felt very proud of me. But when I arrived at the school, I found myself later for class. I had to explain that had happened to my teacher. She said I have done a good deed and praised me.
【答案】1. 在school前面加to 2. worrying→worried 3. 去掉only 4. Heard→Hearing 5. here→there 6. but→and 7. me→myself 8. later→late 9. that→what 10. have→had
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上学途中帮助寻路的美国夫妇并得到老师的表扬的事情。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意:今天下午我在上学的路上遇到一对年轻的美国夫妇。on one's way to...为固定短语,表示“在去某地的路上”。故在school前面加to。
2.考查形容词。句意:他们看起来很担心,所以我走过去问他们是否需要帮助。-ing形容词常修饰限定事或物,表示“令人……的”,-ed形容词常修饰限定人,表示“感到……的”;根据句意可知,他们看起来很担心,所以应使用-ed形容词worried,表示“感到担心的”。故将worrying改为worried。
3.考查连词。句意:他们看起来很担心,所以我走过去问他们是否需要帮助。if only...是固定句型,表示“要是……多好啊”,连词if引导名词性从句,表示“是否”;结合句意,分析句子可知,词句是宾语从句,表示“是否”应用连词if 引导该从句。故删去only。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:听到这些,我提出带他们去那里。结合句意,分析句子可知,“Heard this”在句中作状语,是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,且与主句动词offered同时发生,所以应使用现在分词,表示主动和正在进行。故将Heard改为Hearing。
5.考查副词。句意:听到这些,我提出带他们去那里。根据句意可知,这对美国夫妇要去火车站,所以我要带他们去“那里(there)”。故将here改为there。
6.考查连词。句意:他们是如此感谢我,他们一遍又一遍地说“谢谢你”,我感到非常自豪。根据句意可知,“they said ‘thank you’ again and again”和“I felt very proud of myself”之间不是转折关系,而是顺承关系。故将but改为and。
7.考查反身代词。句意:他们是如此感谢我,他们一遍又一遍地说“谢谢你”,我感到非常自豪。反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词具有互指关系,通常当宾语与主语是同一人或物时使用反身代词。根据句意可知,我为自己感到自豪,此处主语I发出的动作施加在自己身上,应使用反身代词myself。故将me改为myself。
8.考查形容词。句意:但是当我到达学校时,我发现自己上课迟到了。形容词later表示“后来的”,late表示“迟的,晚的”;根据句意可知,我发现我迟到了,应用形容词late。故将later改为late。
9.考查名词性从句。句意:我不得不向老师解释发生了什么事。析句子可知,此处引导宾语从句,引导词在句中作主语,表示“发生的事情”,应用what引导该从句。故将that改为what。
10.考查动词时态。句意:她说我做了一件好事,并表扬了我。根据句意可知,宾语从句的动作发生在“She said”之前,应用过去完成时态had done。故将have改为had。。

Plan your dream vacation to one of these excellent destinations.
St. Lucia
Abundant rainforests and splendid mountains are all reasons to visit this Caribbean island. St. Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. To take in the breathtaking scenery, plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.
Banff. Alberta
This Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake can’t be underestimated (低估).
Machu Picchu
According to travelers, a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.
Great Barrier Reef
It’s easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs, 900 islands and more than 1,500 species of fish. Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater. However, large amounts of coral bleaching (褪色) caused by rising ocean temperatures put this place’s continued existence at risk, so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.
1. What can you enjoy both in St. Lucia and Banff
A. Diving. B. Snowboarding.
C. Hiking. D. Skiing.
2. Where may a historian choose to go
A. Machu Picchu. B. Banff. Alberta.

3. What do we know about the Great Barrier Reef
A. People must take a plane to enjoy its beauty.
B. It’s famous for coral reefs rather than fish.
C. It’s on the western coast of Australia.
D. It may disappear if temperature keeps on rising.
B
Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if fortune had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
4. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. hoped to have the food first and pay later
C. forgot to take his credit card with him
D. could not afford anything more expensive
5. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman
A. Kind and lucky. B. Friendly and helpful.
C. Poor and lonely. D. Hurt and disappointed.
6. Why did the author refuse the old gentle man’s request first
A. He considered the old man dishonest.
B. He felt no pity for the old gentleman.
C. He wanted to keep his present job.
D. He expected someone else to pay for the old man.
7. What lesson did the author learn from this experience
A. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
B. Wealth is most important in older age.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Compassion means helping in some way.
C
If the three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) is a guideline to save the planet, garbage-sorting is where the efforts start. Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported Xinhua.
Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residents to sort their garbage. According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap.
Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18 cities, including Shanghai, Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Shanghai first enacted a mandatory garbage-sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate among its housing estates.
According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted. According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some previous garbage regulations didn’t include fines for people who failed to obey them.
“It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering.”

When parents discover their children have lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasures are capable of such a trick. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.
Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their children's honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a lie.
The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with(未受惩罚) almost anything even in the face of the evidence. They say parents suffer from a“truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters, but when faced with lies from other people's children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.
Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said,“The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their children's lies. Parents' truth bias may result in parents being less doubtful about their children, allowing them to successfully cheat them.”Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的) and social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had looked, with 50 truthfully denying looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.
Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children than by other people's children.
12. What does the underlined word“impair”in Paragraph 2 mean
A. show B. develop
C. damage D. recognize
13. When lying to their parents, children can't be easily found because ________.
A. their parents pretend not to see the lies B. their parents aren't prepared for the lies
C. they are very good at hiding their lies D. they know how to lie to their parents
14. What does Dr Evans want to find about children's lying
A. What makes parents lose trust in their children
B. What causes children to tell lies to their parents
C. What makes parents fail to see their children's lies
D. What affects children's relations with their parents
15. What can be inferred from Dr Evans's study in the last two paragraphs
A. Parents tend to protect their own children
B. Lying is a part of children's development
C. Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to tell lies
D. Parents can judge lies told by children of others more easily

I was on my way school this afternoon when I met with a young American couple. They looked worrying, so I went up to them and asked if only they'd like any help. They said that they wanted to go to the railway station, but they didn't know the way. Heard this, I offered to lead them here. They were so thankful to me that they said "thank you" again and again but I felt very proud of me. But when I arrived at the school, I found myself later for class. I had to explain that had happened to my teacher. She said I have done a good deed and praised me.
