I’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.
I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents than to have two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start, so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.
I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into account.
25.Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President
A.He is very good at English. B.He has a talent for leadership.

26.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2
A.The author and Jordan can cooperate well.
B.The author and Jordan are good friends.
C.Jordan often quarrels with the author.
D.Communication is very important for friends.
27.What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Being EHS Vice President. B.Being always together.
C.Communicating with each other. D.Having good ideas.
28.What can we know about EHS

Biologists from Boise State University have been making noise in the forests of the western American state of Idaho. They are making noise to study the value of quiet in nature. They want to know how people and animals react to noise pollution.
The researchers placed outdoor speakers on the side of a half-kilometer-long part of a road in the Boise National Forest. For two years, they played the sounds of passing cars through the speakers. Professor Jesse says they found the sounds caused migratory (迁徙的)birds to flee. The birds also failed to gain weight.
Recently, researchers played sounds of machines that are used to remove natural gas from the ground. That sound is heard in natural gas fields throughout the American West. Professor Barber says these experiments are designed to help researchers learn the effects of noise pollution on birds, insects, bats, and people.
"We are testing the idea that these things are coupled -- that as the soundscape gets louder, wildlife suffers. But that also feeds back on to how much people get out of that experience, how much they value it, and thus how much they are willing to protect that same place."
The research team also studied a group of volunteers who watch birds for fun. Mitch Levenhagen is a graduate student in the research team. He measured how much the artificial noise lessened the ability of the birdwatchers to recognize recorded bird songs.
The birdwatchers said the artificial noise affected their ability to recognize bird sounds more than they thought it would. Birdwatcher Jim Lyons said the experiment caused him to value quiet more.
"I moved out of the city to a little place in the country where I wanted it to be quiet. I greatly value that. It is hard to find those places more and more. There are lots of ways to mitigate(减轻) sound. But it is trade-off. There is always a cost. And it comes down to people's values. What do we value more." said Volunteer Janice Engle.
29.What is the purpose of carrying out the research
A.To prevent people making any noise in their daily life.
B.To find out the effect noise has on humans and animals.
C.To call on many more people to protect the environment.
D.To encourage people to keep quiet while they are in nature.
30.By playing sounds of machines, the researchers try to make the findings ________.
A.impressive B.unique C.instructive D.convincing
31.What have some volunteers realized after the experiment
A.The great importance of quiet in nature.
B.The big price humans will pay for health.
C.The great value of a sharp sense of hearing.
D.The necessity of protecting wildlife in nature.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson have a combined net worth of 400 billion, roughly the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Ireland. And all three men have decided to put vast sums of their wealth into chasing their space travel dreams, creating a modern space race in which ultra — rich men — rather than countries — shoot for the stars.
But why the three billionaires choose the crazy plan Just for the travel dreams It’s not that simple.
As we all know, the space travel is a mirror of comprehensive national strength, whether it’s the cold war or the present. The first space race spanned multiple presidents and premiers — Kennedy, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Nixon. It made heroes of astronauts and cosmonauts, and it focused national prides. But obviously, this year’s race between the billionaires features none of that national pride or opposing ideas. It’s tax — averse tycoons (大亨) who want to sell high — priced tickets to rich people interested in experiencing weightlessness. Amazon’s Bezos has said he is funding his portion by selling off large chunks of his Amazon stock (股票) — 1 billion or more a year.
What are the odds If anyone is taking bets on how this will end, and who will have the more profitable space tourism business, consider Amazon’s method of making very little profit in order to eat up competition. So, from this point of view, what’s hiding behind this crazy race is business. As a method of expand influence, it is not a bad idea.
Richard Branson has carried out his plan on July 12, and Jeff Bezos announced that he will start his space travel on July 20. Bezos is getting some good press because he’s taking Wally Funk along for the ride. She’s the pilot now in her 80s who was kept out of space in the 1960s because she’s a woman. This may be a bonus for him. As for Musk, he thinks these two above are not real space trips, he wants a larger move.
Who will win the race in the end Let’s wait and see.
32.Which of the following people might be the potential client of the space travel
A.Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.
B.Clarkson who doesn’t enjoy taking risks.
C.Billy aged 60 with an ample retirement pension.
D.Alexander who knows nothing about space travel.
33.What stopped Wally Funk flying to space in the 1960s
A.Age. B.Gender. C.Height. D. Weight
34.What does the author think of the billionaires race
A.Profit — driven. B.Meaningless. C.Foolish. D.Generous.
35.What does the underlined word “spanned” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Revolved. B.Turned down. C.Entered. D.Included.
第2节 (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中有两项为多余选项。
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers.
Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. 36 .
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. 37 .” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 38 . Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully.
Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. 39 .
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 40 . Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A.You can become a popular person.
B.Common as the question is, it will get things going.
C.Don’t be afraid to say so if you want to see that person again.
D.You’d better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.
E. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. These people have something in common.

Nowadays, the great number of people, especially young people, like ordering meals online. It’s not surprised. First, as the pace of modern life is becoming faster and faster, people had less time to cook even one meal for themselves. Second, the development of technology bring us smart phones and new apps, what may lead to the increase in online service. However, we should pay more attention to food. As we all know it, our health is closely related to what we eat. Although the service provides us convenience, we must take the food safety into considerate. Home-made food is cleaner and healthy, so I prefer to cook food at home rather than ordering meals online.

书面表达范文:
Good morning, everyone,
I feel extremely happy to share with you my feelings after such a long holiday.
We were left locked at home owing to the novel coronavirus. However, facing the upcoming college entrance examination, I had no choice but to study even harder, keeping to the regular schedule at school, listening to online courses and doing endless exercises. During this tough period, I was deeply impressed and moved by the selfless medical fighters, who risked losing their own lives to save the lives of others. Thanks to them, everything returns to normal now. Besides, our teachers’ generous help and painstaking efforts to help us can never be thanked enough.
Time flies! It won’t be long before we say goodbye to our beloved school! Come on, everyone! With the fighters’ spirits and COVID-19 pandemic under control, I’m convinced that all of us can be admitted to our dream universities. That’s all. Thank you!
