Just then, the door and Margaret walked in. Red colored Lily’s face. She lowered her head, embarrassed and frozen on the seat. “Let’s see how good you finished it.” Margaret stopped next to her, the warm smile on her face shining like a diamond. Her encouragement gave enough courage to Lily. She lifted herself from the seat with Margaret checking the letter. One whole minute passed before Margaret turned to her, and clapped her hands, saying, “Despite some mistakes, you really did a good job! Welcome to join us!” she reached out her hand to Lily…
Lily was astonished, who looked up at Margaret, excited to tears. Too excited, she threw her arms around Margaret and gave her a warm hug, explaining how her kindness would make a great difference to her. That afternoon, the setting sun witnessed her working five hours in her office. What surprised her was that the more she practiced, the less mistakes she made. She was eager to go back home sharing her happiness with her family. On the way home, she appreciated the flaming sunset and listened to the breeze whistling in her ears. What a beautiful day―simply a dream.

Text 10
M: This was a worrying moment: a mother elephant tried to pull her baby out of a well after staying by his side for 11 hours. The mum refused to leave her baby, first using her trunk and then her feet to make her baby safe. The anxious mother elephant pushed more mud into the well and it almost covered the baby who was trapped from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning. The little elephant was in great danger. But thankfully people living nearby heard the sad cries of the mother elephant. They immediately rushed to the scene to see what had happened. The villagers found the mother refused to leave. So the villagers had to stand far away to watch. Then kind-hearted villagers tried their best to get the mother away for a while with bananas and used the time to remove some of the soil. At last the mother tightly wrapped her trunk around the baby’s body and pulled him out. Then the tired mother and her baby happily walked away side by side.2020—2021学年第二学期高一年级期中考试

“Be proud of what you do,” my father always told me, “whether you are a boss or a cleaner”. When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that my duties would include (包括) sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s words. Even though my job was the lowest, it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return, I was treated with respect by doctors, nurses and patients. Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean. After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patient rooms and cleaning the toilets. Though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done well. Hearing people say “That young boy really does a good job”, I was filled with pride.
Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one’s job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business. Through every job I have ever had, my father’s words have always stayed with me. I was a good cleaner, and now I’m a good manager. I think Dad would be proud of me all the time.
24. The writer’s first job was a .
A. boss B. cleaner C. manager D. doctor
25. Which of the following didn’t the writer do in the hospital according to the passage
A. Looking after patients. B. Washing dishes.
C. Cleaning toilets. D. Sweeping the floor.
26. When the writer was in the hospital, he .
A. made the patients sick B. wasn’t tired
C. worked hard D. did everything
27. From the passage we know that .
A. the writer’s father always stayed with him
B. the father didn’t like the writer’s first job
C. the writer wasn’t proud of his first job
D. the father’s words encouraged the writer to do everything well
C
Regardless of whether or not you are young, there are particular habits that give away your true age. Like falling asleep on the very thought of a second glass of wine, some issues simply sign to the world that you are just over 40. Now, a brand-new study reveals that there is one factor you do along with your smartphone that reveals your age: turning to a PIN（personal identification number）to unlock your telephone rather than a fingerprint or facial recognition means you are of an older technology.
The study, carried out by researchers on the University of British Columbia, explored the links between age and smartphone use by remotely monitoring smartphone customers’ habits. “As researchers working to protect smartphones from illegal access, we need to first understand how users use their devices,” defined Konstantin Beznosov, a professor involved in the research.
To get more information, the researchers selected 134 volunteers, ranging in age from 19 to 63, and had them set up a tailored app to their Android telephones for two months. The app recorded all of their lock and unlock occasions, together with whether or not they choose auto or guide lock, and the actions of the telephone on the time of unlocking. This is how they found the generational variations in unlocking habits.
The researchers additionally collected information on the size of consumer periods. The staff discovered that along with an individual’s most popular technique for unlocking their telephones, the period of time spent on the telephone additionally related with age.
As one report on the study explains “Study showed that older users used their phone less frequently than younger users. For every 10-year-interval（间隔）in age, accordingly there was a 25 per cent decrease in the number of user sessions. In other words, a 25-year-old might use their phone 20 times a day, but a 35-year-old might use it only 15 times.”
So, in case you unlock your smartphone by hand, you may chalk it as much as a generational desire.
28. What will a man in his sixties probably use to unlock his phone
A. Passwords. B. Fingerprint. C. Facial recognition. D. Voice control.
29. How did the researchers monitor volunteers’ unlock habits
A. Gaining illegal access. B. Checking their phones.
C. Using special app. D. Recording with cameras.
30. How many habits related with age are mentioned in the research
A. One. B. Two. C. Four. D. Five.
31. Which could be the best title of the text
A. Unlocking says your age B. Secrets to smartphones safe
C. Smartphones change our lives D. Ways to unlock your smartphones
D
By now, most of us have picked up at least one pandemic(流行的)hobby. And there’s a seemingly common pandemic hobby trend: People who haven’t been able to go anywhere are making imaginary travel plans. Maybe you’re among those who have spent hours researching locations―even though you’re not actually planning to travel.
It turns out that you aren’t alone. People who seem to be interested in public safety recommendations are still planning trips they don’t intend to book. And, when I suddenly found myself addicted to an imaginary girls’ trip to Joshua Tree, I wondered whether this was a healthy distraction(注意力分散).
“It’s an escapist imagination,” said Regine Galanti, a psychologist, adding that there’s nothing wrong with escapism during a global pandemic.
On the one hand, distractions are often beneficial right now. We are a full year into living with COVID-19 as a pandemic, and that means you’ve probably had to navigate a range of emotions like discomfort, sadness, or even boredom. So any hobby that doesn’t harm anyone or endanger your well-being is probably a worthy attempt.
Even if vacation planning is your happy place, Dr. Galanti suggests you “actually think about what you’re trying to achieve.” Why “Maybe what you’re saying is, I need a vacation from work,” Dr. Galanti explains. “Then take three days off even if you are not going anywhere. “When you figure out what you’re looking for, you might be able to find a small socially distanced adventure in your backyard or a quiet place. Vacation planning is a good way to spend some time, but there might be an even better way to get what you’re desiring.
Anyway, when uncertainty is all around us, creating things to look forward to isn’t a terrible idea. And when things are safer, you’ll have all your plans in place.
32. Why do people make imaginary travel plans during the pandemic
A. To develop a new hobby. B. To stay safe and sound.
C. To be distracted from reality. D. To get ready for future travel.
33. Which of the following can replace the word “navigate” underlined in paragraph 4
A. Express. B. Balance. C. Adapt to. D. Deal with.
34. What is the writer’s attitude towards imaginary travel plans
A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. Which section of the newspaper does the text probably come from
A. Figures. B. Lifestyle.
C. Food and recipe. D. Science and technology.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not. 36
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets (头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball, softball, skateboarding, and so on.
Warm up.
37 Doing some stretches (伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time. 38 When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can’t come from behind, crash into a player’s legs, and steal the ball. It’s legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.
39
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. 40
Now you know how to prevent sports injuries. If you follow these rules, you can stay safer while you are playing sports.
A. Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.
B You and the other players know what to expect from each other.
C. It’s not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.
D. It can lead to an even worse injury.
E. It’s the same way with sports.
F. Don’t do too much exercise.
G. Don’t play when you’re injured.

A Lady Named Lily
Lily was a shy, young French-American girl who grew up in a farming community. At the age of 16, her father thought “Lily has had enough schooling,” and she was forced to drop out of school to contribute to the family income.
Her limited education and skills left her with little hope and confidence and she didn’t know what work she could do. She rode the bus daily into Detroit, but she couldn’t gather the courage to respond to a Help Wanted ad; she couldn’t even bring herself to knock on a door. Each day she would just ride to the city, walk aimlessly about and at dusk return home.
As days passed, Lily knew she had to have the courage to knock on a door. On one of her trips, Lily saw a sign, reading: “Secretary Wanted”. She walked up the long flight of stairs to the company offices. Cautiously(小心谨慎), Lily knocked on her very first door, and was met by the office manager Margaret. In her broken English, Lily told her she was interested in the position, falsely stating that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn’t right, but decided to give the girl a chance.
She sat her down at a typewriter and said with a smile, “Type the letter for me, and let me see how good you are.” Then she left.
Lily looked at the clock: 11:40 a.m. She figured that she could run away in the crowd when the clock struck 12. But she knew she should at least stay and give it a try. On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock read 11:45. “In fifteen minutes,” she said to herself, “I’ll escape from the company, and she will never see me again.” On her second try, Lily got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the whole letter, but still there were many mistakes in it. She looked at the clock: 11:55— five minutes to freedom.
