Ⅰ.阅读理解
The Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology was used as a quarantine site(隔离区) from February 8 to March 28. Cheng Shining, a junior of Central China Normal University in Wuhan, was responsible for collecting and distributing supplies for quarantined people and medical staff. As the youngest volunteer at this site, he also chose to live there so that he could show up whenever he was needed.
One day Cheng and two other volunteers spent more than 3 hours moving all 1,462 boxes of mineral water to storage with 50 firemen's help. Cheng says, “A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is helping us.”
Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. It was the first time he had seen his hometown under the world's spotlight. “I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown touched a low point, I pray that I can get through the difficulty together with the city,” Cheng says.
Like Cheng, 28-year-old Wuhan local Zhu Aobing also volunteered to help his home city. He signed up right away to be a volunteer for the vaccine. A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first group of COVID-19 vaccine volunteers in March. They were healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied.
“Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the epidemic,” he says. Zhu is a freshman of Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan. He joined the army when he was 18 years old and served for five years. However, Zhu didn't want to miss the chance to study further, so he decided to go to college last year.
“No matter how long I have finished my military service, I always have the responsibility to go to the front line when the country needs me, and when facing this pandemic(流行病), being a vaccine volunteer is what I should do,” he says.
1.What words can be used to describe Cheng when he is talking about the help from the firemen

D.Cautious and supportive.
2.How did Zhu help his home city
A.By serving the Military World Games.
B.By helping run a quarantine site.
C.By studying further in college.
D.By being a vaccine volunteer.
3.What do Cheng and Zhu have in common
A.They are Wuhan locals.
B.They served in the army.
C.They are of the same age.
D.They graduated from university.
4.What is the purpose of this passage

B.To tell two volunteers' stories.
C.To present an argument.
D.To report a piece of news.

Ⅱ.1.disabilities 考查名词复数。句意:李樟煜先天残疾,但是他成了残奥会冠军,这非常值得敬佩。根据介词with可知此处应用名词,disability表示“(身体的)残疾”时是可数名词,故填disabilities。
2.from 考查介词。句意:为了能够接受一个更具有挑战性的工作,我从外企辞职了。resign from...意为“从……辞职”。故填from。
3.to win 考查动词不定式。句意:德拉图是一位优秀的运动员,在上一场比赛中他理应获胜。deserve to do sth.意为“应该/值得做某事”。故填不定式to win。
易错分析
此题易误填winning,因为deserve doing sth.的表达的确存在,但deserve doing sth.的主动形式表示被动含义,相当于deserve to be done,意为“值得被做”。
4.that 考查同位语从句。句意:毫无疑问,在互联网时代,人们必须掌握良好的计算机技能才能成功获得一份好工作。There is no doubt that...意为“毫无疑问……”,故填that。

8.where 考查定语从句。句意:中国是风筝的发源地,从那里风筝传到日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度。此处from where相当于and from there,因此设空处应该填作地点状语的关系副词where。

1.are accompanied 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:为什么有朋友陪伴的时候我们更愿意去看电影 分析句子可知,while引导的时间状语从句中缺少谓语,accompany与主语we之间为被动关系,故用被动语态,此处描述一般情况,应用一般现在时。故填are accompanied。
2.ourselves 考查反身代词。句意:为什么我们要挤进体育馆或音乐厅与陌生人肩并肩坐一起 本句中缺少pack的宾语,由于与主语we人称一致,故填ourselves。

8.which 考查定语从句。句意:我们没有意识到那些周围的我们不认识也没有交流过的人对我们的影响程度。分析句子可知,此处为“介词+关系代词”结构引导定语从句,先行词为the extent,介词to后不能使用关系词that。故填which。
9.Therefore 考查副词。句意:因此,下次你出去和别人一起玩的时候,放下手机,共享(在一起的)时光,而不是在脸书上发帖。分析上下文可知,前一段介绍了与他人在一起的好处,因此本段鼓励人们多享受与他人在一起的时刻,上下文为因果关系,故可用副词therefore,句首首字母要大写。故填Therefore。
10.to focus 考查非谓语动词。句意:一个没有与别人分享的美好时刻就像一个错过的重视和促进我们与他人共同进行的活动的机会。分析句子可知,设空处作后置定语修饰opportunity,应用不定式。故填to focus。
