It made us very sad to see how plastic harms wildlife and pollutes the ocean, and we want to change this.That’s why we want the fast food restaurants to think of the environment and stop giving away plastic toys with their kids meals.” the two girls wrote in their letter.
“We like to go to eat in fast food restaurants, but children only play with the plastic toys they give us for a few minutes before they get thrown away. In the end, they will harm animals and pollute the sea. We want anything they give us to be sustainable (可持续发展的), so we can protect the earth for us and for future humans,” they continued.
The letter made a large number of readers pay attention to them. The number of people who supported them almost doubled after reporters followed the two little girls.
Since the little girls’ story started being picked up by news reporters, the fast food restaurants had to give a reply to the newspaper office, telling about their plans for making their free toys more sustainable.

Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much less arduous sport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. And practicing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.
8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs
A They often have people hurt. B. They are difficult to practice.
C. People have a wrong view on it. D. People practice them more often.
9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Interesting. B. Difficult. C. Friendly. D. Exciting.
10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts
A. Adjusting the breath. B. Enjoying one’s free time.
C. Correcting the movement. D. Keeping one’s attention.
11. What does the writer think of martial arts
A. They are not sports. B. They attracted many teenagers.
C. They are beneficial and helpful. D. They were invented to protect others.
D
More children in China are putting on weight. In 2018, 16 percent of Chinese children were overweight, according to the National Health Commission (NHC).
Being too fat is bad for children’s health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight children are more likely to develop diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) at a younger age. This can lead to a higher chance of earlier death.
On Oct 23rd, the NHC, together with five other national departments, worked out a plan. The plan aims to reduce the growth of fatness among children aged 0—18 years by 70 percent from 2020 to 2030, Xinhua reported.
Kids are putting on weight because of changes in their diet and lifestyle, according to experts. Too much schoolwork and greater use of electronic devices (电子产品) could also be a cause.
According to the plan, teachers should not allow their classes to run too late or too early. They should make sure that students have breaks and enough physical (躯体上的) activity. School students should have at least three hours of active physical activity each week.
Parents should reduce their children’s use of electronic devices and stop their children from eating foods that are high in sugar, fat and salt.
12. According to the WHO, we know ________.
A. 16% of Chinese children were overweight in 2018
B. being too fat is good for children’s health
C. overweight children are more likely to develop diseases
D. fatness can lead to a higher chance of long life
13. Which one is NOT experts’ opinion
A. We should reduce the growth of fatness among adults.
B. Changing in children’s diet and lifestyle leads to being too fat.
C. Too much schoolwork maybe leads to being too fat.
D. Greater use of electronic devices could cause children to put on weight.
14. School students should have active physical activity for ________.
A. three hours a day
B. more than three hours every day
C. at least three hours each week
D. less than three hours each month
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Overweight isn’t a problem.
B. Say no to children’s getting too fat.
C. Putting on weight is necessary for the kids.
D. Teachers should not allow their classes to run too late.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕)frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done

Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much less arduous sport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. And practicing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.
8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs
A. They often have people hurt. B. They are difficult to practice.
C. People have a wrong view on it. D. People practice them more often.
9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Interesting. B. Difficult. C. Friendly. D. Exciting.
10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts
A. Adjusting the breath. B. Enjoying one’s free time.
C. Correcting the movement. D. Keeping one’s attention.
11. What does the writer think of martial arts
A. They are not sports. B. They attracted many teenagers.
C. They are beneficial and helpful. D. They were invented to protect others.

第二节(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。
Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better.___16___ Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed.
Find the right place to study.
The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying.___17___ You should keep away from television sets and phone calls. Get all of your study materials together, so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session.
Break down the tasks into smaller parts.
When you have gotten everything ready, list the items you need to study, and arrange them across several hours or days, depending on how big your load is. As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject. ___18___ By doing this, you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic.
Schedule study breaks.
When you have listed all of your tasks and made a schedule, you should arrange study breaks. ___19___ This will give your eyes some time to rest, and yourself a chance to go to the bathroom or have some coffee. Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session.
Put your tasks in order of importance.
___20___ Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics, you should study in an order.
A. Each break may take about 15 minutes every two hours.
B. Learn to arrange the subjects in order of importance.
C. This means going to one place that will give you peace and quiet.
D. The key to efficient studying is following the schedule strictly.
E. You can find a way to test your knowledge by having a study partner.
F. If you have a broad subject, you will need to break it down into smaller parts.
G. To make the best use of your time, you need to learn how to study efficiently(高效地).
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何高效学习的几点建议。
【16题详解】
根据本空前的“Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better.”可知，学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了高效学习的几点建议，故G项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据本空前的“The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying.”可知，你需要做的第一件事就是避开学习时分散注意力的事物，故C项（这意味着去一个能给你带来平静的地方）符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据本空前的“As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject.”可知，每个科目至少安排一小时，故F项（如果你有一个宽泛的科目，你需要把它分成更小的部分）符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据本空前的“you should arrange study breaks.”可知，你应该安排学习时的休息时间，故A项（每两个小时休息15分钟）符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据本段后的“Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics, you should study in an order.”可知，如果你认为你没有足够的时间完成所有的科目，以防你用光学习时间，你应当有序地学习，故B项（学会按照重要性安排科目）符合语境。
【点睛】过渡句是七选五的常见考点，被选选项一定要起到承上启下的过渡作用，既要对应上问话题，又要引出下文（通常是方法或建议），例如本篇第1题，上文提到学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了如何高效学习的几点建议，G项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）既对应了上文提到的学习时间这一话题，又引出了下文高效学习的几点建议，符合语境。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。Sally是各科成绩好学生，文章介绍了她的几点好的学习习惯。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：她各科成绩都很好。此处由all修饰指所有的科目，名词用复数形式。故填subjects。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：你一定很想知道她学习这么好的原因。此空引导定语从句，先行词是the reason，从句中不缺少成分，所以用why引导。故填why。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Sally每天放学后花费2小时学习。固定搭配spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，故填studying。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：Sally是一个坚定的女孩，所以没有什么能阻止她那样做。此处修饰girl，用形容词作定语，determined“坚定的；坚决的”，符合句意，故填determined。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：其次，如果Sally想开始学习，首先她会把一切与学习无关的东西放在一边，比如手机。条件状语从句中，从句是现在时，主句表示将来的动作用一般将来时。也可理解为，will表示倾向性，习惯性，表示“总是（会）”，也符合句意。故填will put。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：事实上，她的桌子上只剩下书了。此处用副词修饰整个句子，actually表示“事实上，实际上”，符合句意，故填actually。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：第三，Sally从不把问题留到第二天。结合全文时态以及此句表示习惯性动作，所以此空用一般现在时，主语是Sally，用第三人称单数，故填leaves。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：当遇到一些她不能解决的难题时，她会向别人请求帮助。此处指代句中的some difficult problems，是复数，作宾语用them。故填them。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：她不会等到第二天再做。根据固定搭配wait to do“等待做某事”，可知此空用动词不定式。故填to do。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：我希望它们对你有很大的帮助。be of +名词=be +与名词同源的形容词，of help=helpful“有帮助的”，符合句意，故填of。

47. 阅读下面短文, 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕)frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt ” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I am doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】通读短文可知，由于物价以及自己工作的原因，本周在经济上对于作者来说是艰难的一周，作者和儿子在杂货店里购物，为了让儿子能买到他想买的酸奶。作者不得不放回去一些已经购买的商品。从杂货店开车回来的路上，作者注意到一个无家可归的人在路边举着一个牌子，尽管作者经济困难，还是给了这个无家可归的人5美元，短文续写由此展开。第一段开头：看到这些，作者的儿子感到困惑和惊讶。所以短文要续写儿子与作者之间的对话，以此介绍作者为什么要慷慨地给这个无家可归的人5美元，而对于儿子买酸奶时却对儿子如此刻薄。第二段开头：那天，儿子做了一件大多数成年人不会做的事。所以短文要续写，儿子将自己心爱的酸奶递给窗外的无家可归的人，以及作者的感悟。
【点睛】文章思路清晰，语言规范，段落整齐，语篇连贯，层次清晰。使用了较为高级的句式: even if 引导的让步状语从句和who引导的定语从句Even if it was a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it.
高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次，整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
