A very dear friend has been experiencing numerous challenges these past few months. She mentioned how it sometimes felt like she was hanging on by a thread with no quick fix in sight.
It reminded me that the monarch caterpillar（毛虫）that I cared for just changed into a butterfly that morning. After eating on milkweed leaves from our garden,the hungry caterpillar bund a comfortable spot at the top of the ner butterfly enclosure and spun a silken thread to attach itself there. The caterpillar hung upside-down in a J shape for a day or so. Then, in less than a-few hours of struggling, the caterpillar was a beautiful green butterfly!
All the research I've done indicates that the change into a butterfly should take between 10-12 days. I can only imagine what is going on there, but I'm sure it's a huge struggle and reforming. Haven't we all been doing the same to some degree lately These especially challenging times are presenting us with the unavoidable experiences needed for our inner selves to use as food for growth. Not easy You bet! Worth it Yes!
Many thanks to our local library tor the loan of the butterfly enclosure. They raised and released painted butterflies as part of their children's summer reading program this year. I had no idea that planting a few milkweed plants would lead to such a fascinating study of caterpillars and butterflies. The caterpillar has kept me mindfully occupied and fascinated during our recent COVID-19 self-isolation.
Hanging on by a thread as we transform, keep in mind the beautiful wings we are growing. We are all somewhere in the midst of that unbelievable process. Trust the process. Have faith. Know that you are becoming the most beautiful person that you can be.

A new study has found that elephant seals have to work very hard to stay corpulent. Scientists paid special attention to females of the species during difficult two-month trips, or migrations, in the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
The seals were found to spend up to 20 hours every day and sometimes full 24 hours a continuous deep-diving to feed on fish. They fed 1,000 to 2,000 times daily to gain the body weight necessary for reproduction and warmth in the cold waters. Researchers studied 48 female elephant seals from Ano Nuevo State Park in California as they traveled large ocean distances. Their entire trip was around 6. 000 kilometers.
Scientists based their findings on data collected in 2011 and 2018. They used three small movable devices. The first device, attached under the jaw, counted the number of times the seals fed and measured their depth. The second satellite-linked device on the head, followed the seals' ocean movements and sensed their food. The third device was a "smart" video camera with an infra-red LED light and another depth sensor. It was also placed on their heads.
Elephant seals get their name from the large noses. These noses look like an elephant's trunk. There are two species—the northern elephant seal and the slightly larger southern elephant seal. The two are the world's biggest seals and the largest ocean mammals other than whales.
The northern male elephant seals can grow up to 4 meters long and weigh up to 2,000 kilograms. The northern females are smaller, getting up to about 3 meters in length and 590 kilograms. The males feed only in coastal waters.
Some large ocean mammals depend on deep dives to get enough food to support their large bodies. Sperm whales（抹香鲸）, for example, hunt for large prey like giant squid, Female elephant seals, which are large, but not as big as sperm whales, have a different solution. They eat huge amounts of small fish. But it is hard for them to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of their large bodies.
28. What does the underlined word "corpulent" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Fat. B. Distant. C. Deep D. Cautious.
29. What is the common feature of the three devices in paragraph 3
A. 'They sensed the seals' food. B. They were linked to the satellite.
C. They followed the seals' movements. D. They were attached to the seals' body
30. Where does elephant seals' name come from
A. Their behavior. B. Their appearance. C. Their weight. D. Their length.
31. What does the author mainly try to do in the last paragraph
A. Introduce the similarities of mammals.
B. Show the size of male and female elephant seals.
C. Advocate the conservation of sperm whales' ocean food.
D. Compare sperm whales' hunts and female elephant seals' hunts.
D
Parents, teachers and caregivers have long believed in the magic of storytelling to calm and comfort kids. Researchers working in pediatric (儿科) have now quantified the physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale.
“We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Brockington, who studies emotions and learning at Brazil’s Federal University. He adds, “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a lab, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There’s little research on physiological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.
So the investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took saliva (唾液) samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz and analyzed samples.
Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive and light words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. “The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was key,” says Mar, a psychologist at York University.
32. What does Brockington say about stories
A. The effects of them are easy to show in labs. B. They have a positive effect on kids’ emotions.
C. They cause children to become more emotional. D. The studies of them are often conducted in hospitals.
33. How did the investigators carry out the research
A. By visiting and talking. B. By making assumptions.
C. By grouping and comparing. D. By analyzing samples from earlier research.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the research
A. Its finding. B. Its purpose. C. Its approach D. Its reason.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Narrative skills play a role in storytelling.
B. Listening to a story does benefit kids’ health.
C. Storytelling is popular with kids and their parents.
D. Stories help kids communicate better with their parents.

W: I think the most difficult thing with the reading for me, though, isn’t the quantity but all the new words.
M: I understand.
W: And there’s another thing- I never seem to manage enough time for lectures. And they are always so early in the morning! I can’t ever get out of bed in time for a nine o clock lecture.
M: Well, isn’t that because you go to so many parties If you don’t get home till one or two in the morning，how can you ever expect to awake for a lecture
W: Maybe you’re right.

A very dear friend has been experiencing numerous challenges these past few months. She mentioned how it sometimes felt like she was hanging on by a thread with no quick fix in sight.
It reminded me that the monarch caterpillar（毛虫）that I cared for just changed into a butterfly that morning. After eating on milkweed leaves from our garden,the hungry caterpillar bund a comfortable spot at the top of the ner butterfly enclosure and spun a silken thread to attach itself there. The caterpillar hung upside-down in a J shape for a day or so. Then, in less than a-few hours of struggling, the caterpillar was a beautiful green butterfly!
All the research I've done indicates that the change into a butterfly should take between 10-12 days. I can only imagine what is going on there, but I'm sure it's a huge struggle and reforming. Haven't we all been doing the same to some degree lately These especially challenging times are presenting us with the unavoidable experiences needed for our inner selves to use as food for growth. Not easy You bet! Worth it Yes!
Many thanks to our local library tor the loan of the butterfly enclosure. They raised and released painted butterflies as part of their children's summer reading program this year. I had no idea that planting a few milkweed plants would lead to such a fascinating study of caterpillars and butterflies. The caterpillar has kept me mindfully occupied and fascinated during our recent COVID-19 self-isolation.
Hanging on by a thread as we transform, keep in mind the beautiful wings we are growing. We are all somewhere in the midst of that unbelievable process. Trust the process. Have faith. Know that you are becoming the most beautiful person that you can be.

A new study has found that elephant seals have to work very hard to stay corpulent. Scientists paid special attention to females of the species during difficult two-month trips, or migrations, in the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
The seals were found to spend up to 20 hours every day and sometimes full 24 hours a continuous deep-diving to feed on fish. They fed 1,000 to 2,000 times daily to gain the body weight necessary for reproduction and warmth in the cold waters. Researchers studied 48 female elephant seals from Ano Nuevo State Park in California as they traveled large ocean distances. Their entire trip was around 6. 000 kilometers.
Scientists based their findings on data collected in 2011 and 2018. They used three small movable devices. The first device, attached under the jaw, counted the number of times the seals fed and measured their depth. The second satellite-linked device on the head, followed the seals' ocean movements and sensed their food. The third device was a "smart" video camera with an infra-red LED light and another depth sensor. It was also placed on their heads.
Elephant seals get their name from the large noses. These noses look like an elephant's trunk. There are two species—the northern elephant seal and the slightly larger southern elephant seal. The two are the world's biggest seals and the largest ocean mammals other than whales.
The northern male elephant seals can grow up to 4 meters long and weigh up to 2,000 kilograms. The northern females are smaller, getting up to about 3 meters in length and 590 kilograms. The males feed only in coastal waters.
Some large ocean mammals depend on deep dives to get enough food to support their large bodies. Sperm whales（抹香鲸）, for example, hunt for large prey like giant squid, Female elephant seals, which are large, but not as big as sperm whales, have a different solution. They eat huge amounts of small fish. But it is hard for them to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of their large bodies.
28. What does the underlined word "corpulent" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Fat. B. Distant. C. Deep D. Cautious.
29. What is the common feature of the three devices in paragraph 3
A. 'They sensed the seals' food. B. They were linked to the satellite.
C. They followed the seals' movements. D. They were attached to the seals' body
30. Where does elephant seals' name come from
A. Their behavior. B. Their appearance. C. Their weight. D. Their length.
31. What does the author mainly try to do in the last paragraph
A. Introduce the similarities of mammals.
B. Show the size of male and female elephant seals.
C. Advocate the conservation of sperm whales' ocean food.
D. Compare sperm whales' hunts and female elephant seals' hunts.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新的研究发现，象海豹必须非常努力才能保持肥胖。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“They fed 1,000 to 2,000 times daily to gain the body weight necessary for reproduction and warmth in the cold waters.(它们每天觅食1000到2000次，以获得在冷水中繁殖和取暖所需的身体脂肪。)”及全文可知，研究人员发现，象海豹必须非常努力才能保持肥胖。所以corpulent为“肥胖的”之意。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They used three small movable devices. (他们使用了三个小型的可移动设备。)”可知，三个装置的共同特征是它们跟着海豹的移动。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Elephant seals get their name from the large noses. These noses look like an elephant's trunk. (象海豹的名字来源于它们的大鼻子。这些鼻子看起来像大象的鼻子。)”可知，海豹的名字是源于它们的外表。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Some large ocean mammals depend on deep dives to get enough food 10 support their large bodies. Sperm whales, for example, hunt for large prey like giant squid, Female elephant seals, which are large, but not as big as sperm whales, have a different solution. They eat huge amounts of small fish. But it is hard for them to catch enough small fish to meet the energy needs of their large bodies. (一些大型海洋哺乳动物依靠深海潜水获取足够的食物来支撑它们庞大的身体。例如，抹香鲸捕食像巨型乌贼这样的大型猎物，而雌性象海豹体型较大，但没有抹香鲸那么大，它们有不同的解决办法。它们吃大量的小鱼。但它们很难捕捉到足够的小鱼来满足它们庞大的身体的能量需求。)”可知，作者在最后一段主要想比较抹香鲸的捕猎和雌象海豹的捕猎。故选D。
D
Parents, teachers and caregivers have long believed in the magic of storytelling to calm and comfort kids. Researchers working in pediatric (儿科) have now quantified the physiological and emotional benefits of a well-told tale.
“We know that narrative has the power to transport us to another world,” says Brockington, who studies emotions and learning at Brazil’s Federal University. He adds, “Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a lab, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines. There’s little research on physiological and psychological effects of storytelling in a more commonplace hospital setting.
So the investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took saliva (唾液) samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz and analyzed samples.
Children in both groups benefited measurably from the interactions. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive and light words to describe their hospital stay. The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect. “The researchers really tried to control the social interaction component of the storyteller, which I think was key,” says Mar, a psychologist at York University.
32. What does Brockington say about stories
A. The effects of them are easy to show in labs. B. They have a positive effect on kids’ emotions.
C. They cause children to become more emotional. D. The studies of them are often conducted in hospitals.
33. How did the investigators carry out the research
A. By visiting and talking. B. By making assumptions.
C. By grouping and comparing. D. By analyzing samples from earlier research.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the research
A. Its finding. B. Its purpose. C. Its approach D. Its reason.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Narrative skills play a role in storytelling.
B. Listening to a story does benefit kids’ health.
C. Storytelling is popular with kids and their parents.
D. Stories help kids communicate better with their parents.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，听故事有益于孩子们的健康，对孩子的情绪有积极的影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Brockington”的话“Earlier research suggested that stories help children process and regulate their emotions—but this was mostly conducted in a lab, with subjects answering questions while lying inside functional MRI machines.”（早期的研究表明，故事有助于儿童处理和调节他们的情绪，但这主要是在实验室进行的，受试者躺在功能性核磁共振仪里回答问题。）可知，Brockington认为，故事有助于儿童处理和调节他们的情绪，由此可知，Brockington认为故事对孩子的情绪有积极的影响。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“So the investigators working in several Brazilian hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged 4 to 11 into two groups, matching them with storytellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers took saliva (唾液) samples from each child, then asked them to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz and analyzed samples.”（因此，在几家巴西医院工作的调查人员将81名年龄在4岁至11岁之间的患者分为两组，并与有十年医院经验的讲故事者进行配对。在一组中，讲故事的人带领每个孩子玩谜语游戏。在另一个组中，儿童选择书籍，听讲故事的人大声朗读。在这些治疗前后，研究人员从每个孩子身上采集唾液样本，然后要求他们报告自己的疼痛程度，并进行自由联想单词测验和样本分析。）可知，研究人员首先将被测试者分组，然后把每组成员被测试前后的样本进行分析对比，进而得出结论，由此可知，调查人员是通过分组和比较进行研究的。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect.”（这项研究表明，玩游戏或只是与人互动可以让孩子放松，改善他们的人生观，但听故事的效果尤其显著。）可知，这项研究表明，听故事对让孩子放松和改善孩子情绪方面的效果尤其显著，由此可知，最后一段主要告诉我们的是这项研究的发现。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段关键句“The study demonstrates that playing games or simply interacting with someone can relax kids and improve their outlook—but that hearing stories has an especially dramatic effect.”（这项研究表明，玩游戏或只是与人互动可以让孩子放松，改善他们的人生观，但听故事的效果尤其显著。）可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，听故事有益于孩子们的健康，对孩子的情绪有积极的影响，“Listening to a story does benefit kids’ health.”意为“听故事确实有益于孩子们的健康”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为了应对全球变暖，全球开始使用电动汽车来减少碳排放。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：电动汽车是全球应对全球变暖的有力武器。结合句中“a strong weapon in the world’s efforts及global warming”可知，此处指这是应对全球变暖的有利武器。介词against“抵抗，应对”，符合题意，故填against。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：研究人员比较了充电汽车行驶100公里的气体排放量和行驶相同距离的普通汽油车的排放量。此处使用非谓语作后置定语，emissions与come from为主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词coming。故填coming。
3.考查名词。句意同上。结合设空前same可知，此处要用名词。distance“距离”为名词，符合题意，此处表单数意义，故填distance。
4.考查定语从句。句意：在那些给电动汽车充电比驾驶汽油动力汽车更清洁的国家，大量使用水电、核能或太阳能。分析可知，“_______ charging an electric vehicle is _______(clean) than driving a gasoline-powered car ”为定语从句，先行词为countries，在从句中作地点状语，所以要用关系副词where。故填where。
5.考查比较级。句意同上。结合设空那个后than可知，此处要用形容词比较级。故填cleaner。
6.考查时态。句意：数据显示，波兰的电动汽车实际上产生了更多的碳排放，因为其电力系统非常依赖煤炭。分析可知，“that an electric vehicle in Poland actually_______ (create) more carbon emissions”为宾语从句，空白处为宾语从句的谓语，结合主句谓语suggests可知，此处的时态为一般现在时。从句主语“an electric vehicle”为单数含义，所以此处动词用单三形式。故填creates。
7.考查副词。句意：但是它们并不能在一天中，平均地增加电力系统。分析可知，空白处在句中为状语，修饰动词短语“add to the electricity”，所以此处要用副词。故填equally。
8.考查时态语态。句意：基于这个原因，驾驶电动车所节省的碳排放量取决于一天中充电的时间。分析可知，空白处为when引导的时间状语从句的谓语，时间状语the time of day表明这是现在某一时间点正在发生的动作，从句主语it与动词charge为被动关系，所以此处要用现在进行时的被动语态。故填is being charged。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：在下午充电，当有更多的阳光和风时，可以节省16% 至18% 的碳，相比晚上，电力系统更可能使用天然气或煤炭。短语：be likely to do sth.“可能做某事”为固定短语，结合空前“are more likely ”可知，此处填to use。
10.考查冠词。句意：结果，2006年至2016年间，欧洲新型汽油动力汽车的碳排放量平均下降了25% 。短语：as a result“因此，结果”为固定短语，结合空白前后，故填a。

On Mother’s Day we can show our mothers our thank. Last Mother’s Day, I had the good time with my mom. I got up early in the morning and cook a delicious breakfast. My mom said it was a wonderfully breakfast. After that, we went to the park and took on lots of pictures. The sky was blue but the air was fresh. We rented a boat row around the lake. At the end of that day, I said to your mom, “Thank you, mom, I will love you forever.” What happy she was. I hope every mother can spend a pleased time with her beloved children.
【答案】1. thank→thanks 2. the→a 3. cook→cooked 4. wonderfully→wonderful 5. 删除on 6. but→and 7. row前加to 8. your→my 9. What→How 10. pleased→pleasing/pleasant
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了去年母亲节，作者是如何像母亲表达感谢的。
【详解】1.考查名词单复数。句意：在母亲节，我们可以向母亲表示感谢。此处表示“感谢”应用thanks，thank作名词，表示“感谢”时，只能用复数形式，故将thank改为thanks。
2.考查固定搭配。句意：去年母亲节，我和母亲过得很愉快。Have a good time是固定搭配，表示“玩得高兴；过得快乐”，故将the改为a。
3.考查时态。句意：我早上起得很早，做了一顿美味的早餐。分析句子结构可知，and前后连接两个句子，此处cook做谓语，句子描述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，所以应用cook的过去式，故将cook改为cooked。
4.考查形容词。句意：我妈妈说那是一顿很棒的早餐。此处应用形容词wonderful，修饰名词breakfast，表示“很棒的”，故将wonderfully改为wonderful。
5.考查及物动词。句意：之后，我们去了公园，拍了很多照片。“拍照片”应用take pictures，take是及物动词，后面直接加宾语，此处on是多余的，故删除on。
6.考查连词。句意：天空湛蓝，并且空气清新。句子“The sky was blue”(天空湛蓝)和句子“the air was fresh”(空气清新)是并列关系而非转折关系，所以应用and而非but，故将but改为and。
7.考查不定式。句意：我们在湖边租了一条船来划。分析句子结构可知，“We rented a boat”是主句，row是动词，表示“划”，此处应用to row做目的状语，故在row前加to。
8.考查代词。句意：在那一天要结束的时候，我对我的母亲说“谢谢你，妈妈，我会永远爱你”。此处是表示“我对我的母亲说”，所以应用my表示“我的”，作定语，修饰mom，故将your改为my。
9.考查感叹句。句意：她是多么开心。此处是how引导的感叹句，即how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语，所以应用how修饰形容词happy(高兴的)，故将What改为How。
10.考查形容词。句意：我希望每个母亲都能和她心爱的孩子们，度过一段愉快的时光。此处表示“令人愉快的”应用形容词pleasing或pleasant，修饰名词time(时光)，pleased虽是形容词，但是表示“高兴的”，修饰人，故将pleased改为pleasing或pleasant。
