Dear Tom,
Here comes a piece of good news. A lecture is going to be held in our school. Since you're obsessed with Chinese culture, I’d like to inform you of detailed information.
The lecture is scheduled at the Students' Hall at 2 p.m. this Friday. It covers a wide variety of topics on Chinese arts, including Chinese painting, paper cuttings and Peking Opera I'm convinced that you can dig out Chinese cultural features from his lecture. By the way, knowing briefly about these topics on the Internet in advance would be quite helpful.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to seeing you!
Best wishes!
Yours

【答案】A possible version:
Paragraph 1：
One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father’s arrival and his response.
Paragraph 2：
When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, “You are my best flowers!”唐县第一高级中学2021-2022学年高二上学期12月月考

A
If you are longing for a hike in Alaska and aren’t sure where to start, here are our favorites. There’s something for all levels of skills and ambitions.
The Kenai River Trail
A half mile down this trail are wonderful views of the Kenai River Canyon. There are really two trailheads (小道的起点); the main “upper” trail starts at mile 0.6 of Skilak Lake Rd, and the other at mile 2.3.
Turnagain Arm Trail
This 11-mile hike begins at Potter Trailhead (Mile 115). Initially used by Alaska Natives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way: McHugh Creek (Mile 112), Rainbow (Mile 108) and Windy (Mile 107).
Iditarod National Historic Trail
The National Historic Iditarod Trail is a 24-mile hike used by gold miners and sled-dog teams until 1918, when the Alaska Railroad was finished. It’s a two-to-three day hike through superb mountain scenery to Girdwood (where it’s known as the Crow Pass Trail), and is the region’s best backpack adventure.
Put up a tent at Echo Bend (Mile 3), or rent one of two yurts (毡房) ($65 per night) close by. For a shorter outing you can turn around at the Perch, then return to the Dew Mound Trail at Echo Bend and then to the Nature Center, making this a scenic 8-mile trip.
Reed Lakes Trail
Two alpine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and towering granite (花岗岩) walls: the 7-to-9-mile Reed Lakes Trail is one of the most wonderful hikes in the region, and worth the climb. Once you reach upper Reed Lake, continue 1 mile to Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B-29 bomber lies in memorial to six men who died in a 1957 crash.
21. Which of the following was originally used by Alaska Natives
A. The Kenai River Trail. B. Turnagain Arm Trail.
C. Iditarod National Historic Trail. D. Reed Lakes Trail.
22. At which place can hikers set up a tent
A. Girdwood. B. Potter Trailhead. C. Echo Bend. D. Turnagain Arm.
23. What will visitors see at Bomber Glacier
A. A memorial to six heroes. B. A tower made of granite.
C. The ruin of a B-29 bomber. D. One of the most gorgeous waterfalls.
B
Heroic deeds come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them require bravery in the face of danger, others result from a simple random act of compassion. Natalie Fernando was taking her 5-year-old autistic (自闭) son Rudy for a seaside walk when the little boy got into a meltdown, a breakdown of self-control.
“My son loves to walk, but he hates to turn around and walk back, we usually try to walk in a circuit to avoid this but on his favourite walk with the boats we have no choice but to turn back. This will often lead to a meltdown, one which I can normally handle but not for today,” Fernando explained on her Facebook page, Better to Be Different.
The area at Southend-on-Sea is a popular walking spot in Essex, England. Knowing she and Rudy were drawing attention and that her son’s outburst might go on for an hour, Fernando was apologetic but she soon found herself subjected to the blaming stares and comments of passers-by.
That’s when a total stranger named Ian stopped to ask if she was okay. When Fernando explained what was going on, as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do, he lay down on the ground close to Rudy and engaged him in conversation. The calming behavior quickly turned the situation around. After Rudy became calm, Ian walked Rudy and his mom back to their car.
“I wish there were more of this man around and I am beyond thankful,” Fernando said. “I will not forget his kindness… Thanks, Ian from Southend Sea Front, you truly are a kind man.”
In addition to her gratitude, Fernando hopes Ian’s unselfish behavior might inspire others to look deeper before making social judgments themselves. “It’s said a lot at the moment, ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind,’” she wrote. “Words are easy, these actions are not always so easy. This man is living the words and I couldn’t be more grateful. “If you see a parent struggling, take the time to say, ‘Are you ok ’ Don’t judge the parenting, try not to judge the child, just be kind.”
We’re all walking our own path and navigating the journey the best we can. Sometimes it takes a moment of kindness from a complete stranger to completely change your day.
24.What caused Rudy’s meltdown during the walk on the seaside
A. Tiredness from walking. B. Repeating the same path.
C. His mom’s impatience. D. Walking in a circuit.
25.What was the attitude of most passers-by to Rudy’s mom during his meltdown
Apologetic. B. Disapproving. C. Sympathetic. D. Tolerant.
26.What did Ian do to turn the situation around
A.He lay down to communicate with Rudy.
B. He bent down to ask Rudy questions.
C.He walked Rudy and his mom to the car.
D. He played interesting games with Rudy.
27.What’s the purpose of writing the text
A.To judge people who are indifferent.
B. To express thanks of a helpless mother.
C. To call on people to follow Ian’s example.
D. To inform people of ways to deal with autism.
C
For many white-collar workers around the world, the recent pandemic has meant having to work from home. Their usual office location has been out of bounds. This means different working practices, which have advantages and disadvantages for employees. But the big question is, “Will they ever see their offices again
Home working has made people realize what tasks they can perform at home, rather than enduring a commute to the office to do the same thing. It has given them more time with the family； they've been sleeping better and have saved money by not travelling or buying lunches on the go. And recent research suggests the majority of people working from home are just as productive.
For some people, this could be a permanent arrangement. In the UK, fifty of the biggest employers questioned by BBC, have said they have no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future. Of course, one main reason is that firms couldn't see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place. But BBC also heard from some smaller businesses who are deciding to abandon their offices altogether. Other bigger companies are also looking at shutting offices to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely. Peter Cheese, head of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told BBC： "We re at a moment of real change in the world of work, driven by big existential crises.
But this isn't great news for everyone. Some employees can feel isolated at home, and there's less opportunity to network or learn from other people, especially if they're a new recruit. Also, city centers may suffer most from a change in working habits. Shops and cafes rely on the footfall of office workers, and without them, they face closure. The future is still uncertain, which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located. But the office of the future may be your home.
28. What does the underlined phrase “a commute to the office" in paragraph 2 mean
A. The journey to and back from the office.
B. The distance between the office partners.
C. A communication from the office.
D. A call at the office.
29. According to the text, which is NOT the benefit of working from home
A. More time to accompany the family. B. Less money on lunches on the go.
C. A better sleep. D. Higher efficiency.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Half employers will fire their staff.
B. Large numbers of staff will leave office.
C. Some employees won't see their offices again.
D. Firms couldn't deal with social distancing regulations.
31. What could be the best title for this text
A. Does Working From Home Benefit a Lot
B. Will Offices Disappear in the Future
C. The Usual Office Location Has Been out of Bounds
D. Different Working Practices Have Advantages and Disadvantages
D
Are you patient Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it’s becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.
British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins (企鹅) from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag (加标签于) photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies (群). They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, “citizen scientists” marked more images than the research team did in five years.
Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, “When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do.”
The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. Volunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.
According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, “We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers.”
But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation Dr. Simpson isn’t worried. “We get lots of people looking at the same things, “he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there’s no fooling the scientists.
And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every “citizen scientist” will be credited.
32. According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists
A. An engineer who works in a company.
B. A university student who likes science.
C. A businessman who invests in a new project.
D. A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.
33. What is a volunteer required to do
A. Publish his observation data by himself.
B. Observe pictures and record his observation.
C. Discuss his observation with other volunteers.
D. Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.
34. How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation
A. By working with volunteers. B. By using their own data.
C. By identifying pictures and photos. D. By going through a peer review.
35. What’s Dr. Simpson’s attitude towards the volunteers’ observation
A. Objective B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.

With so many things happening in the world and so much work to do in our daily life，we need easy ways to calm and relax ourselves. 36 Maybe the following ideas can help you feel more settled and supported.
Comforting smells can signal our brains to relax and stay in the present moment. It’s easy to bring a comforting smell into your home with a lovely plant or a bunch of fresh flowers. 37
Childhood objects can put comfort right into your hands. Turn to simple items like a blanket，a soft animal toy，or a souvenir from a childhood trip. 38 If they comforted you in your younger years, they can certainly do so again.
Nature might be the fundamental source of comfort. 39 Being in nature’s presence can remind you that your life, like the oceans, mountains and forests, can remain steady through a lot of changes. Step outside to see what natural scenes are waiting for you, or bring the outdoors in with a houseplant, even a little small one.
40 It’s like coming home to a familiar, comforting welcome after a long journey. My comfort book is actually my collection of Cathy comics. I discovered these during my teen years, and they never fail to make me smile and bring back so many happy memories.
A. It is permanent yet ever-changing.
B. These might be hidden somewhere in your room.
C. It can remind you what you already know or learn.
D. You can also just open the window to let fresh air in.
E. They are not comforting when you are under stress or discouraged.
F. Sometimes comfort can be found where we don’t always think to look.
G. Cozying up to books you’ve read again and again is a great comfort to you.

A simple badge (徽章) is playing an important role in helping lost seniors return home. By scanning a QR code on a plastic badge, anyone with a smartphone can reach the person’s emergency contact 56 (immediate). “It’s efficient and 57 (save) effort,” said Li Caoliang, head of the Lei Feng police station in Fushun, Liaoning province.
The idea came to Li and his 58 (colleague) four years ago when dealing with more than 200 lost seniors in a year. Some of the old people got lost because they had illnesses such as memory 59 (lose) or Alzheimer’s. They couldn’t tell their identity, address or phone number. Sometimes, the officers had to spend hours 60 (try) to figure out who to call from vague descriptions by the lost seniors. In some cases, the lost seniors had to stay overnight at the station before their families 61 (contact). The number of lost seniors has dropped to around 30 a year since 62 the police developed came into use.
China has 264 million old people, accounting 63 18.7 percent of its population according to its seventh population census 64 (conduct) last year. Wang Jiajuan, 65 has long focused on improving public services for an aging society, says the innovative QR code ID helps guarantee the travel safety of seniors.

My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them,” he said to Mom. Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
