W：Have you all heard about the White House Today we're going to talk about the building that symbolizes the USA. Mr. Green, please.
M：The White House is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. You can't say you've been to WashingtonD．C. if you haven't seen the White House. Not every American president lives there. Though the Executive Mansion was begun in 1792 under the direction of George Washington, the structure was not completed until 1800, so ironically Washington never called it home. The White House is open to the public on weekdays from 10 am until noon. The building was torched by British troops in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the structural damage caused by the fire was repaired, but the sandstone walls outside were still black from the fire. The walls were then painted white, giving birth to the name the building now goes by. An act of Congress made it the official name in 1920. Every President has left his mark upon the White House, with Thomas Jefferson adding grass to the east and west wings, Andrew Jackson installing running water, and Harry Truman adding a porch. Bill Clinton's addition to the White House was an indoor track.

Great Activities for Nature Lovers
Hiking
One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike.Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure.This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.
Backcountry Camping
Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure？Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location.If you're an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature.Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks.If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
Gardening
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day.If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers.There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself.One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C．In medium sized cities with a diverse population.

When the German psychologist Kurt Lewin moved to the US, he found his new home a little puzzling, especially when it came to friendships.“Compared with Germans, Americans seem to make quicker progress toward friendly relations early in the acquaintance process and with many more persons，” he wrote.“Yet this development often stops at a certain point and the quickly acquired friends will, after years of close relations, say goodbye as easily as after a few weeks of acquaintance.”
Lewin thought that this idea of friends as fast fashion might be encouraged by the United States's high level of residential mobility (居住流动性).
Gillath and Keefer did studies where people took questionnaires about their willingness to discard things and their history of moving from place to place.They found that people who'd moved around a lot were more willing to get rid of objects, and being willing to get rid of things was connected with being willing to cut social ties.
Moving is a big life change, and not only with regard to place.The social circles they have easy access to are also likely to change.This isn't to suggest that people view their friends as objects.“Moving also requires making choices about which relationships are worth keeping and which are not, which ties could be replaced and which ties should be kept，” Gillath and Keefer wrote.
Perhaps this tendency to keep friendships from getting too deep comes not only from an easy come, easy go attitude due to mobility, but also the knowledge of how hard it is to leave people.As John Reisman puts it, “Within a changing society, people could, by keeping their friendships at an associative level, protect themselves from the sadness and self blame that can be brought about when they have to cut close relationships.”

B．To feel less guilty of moving away all the time.
C．To keep themselves from being hurt by friends.
D．To reduce the pain of ending deep friendships.

Always wanted to live abroad Now may be your best chance.More countries are inviting travelers to trade their home offices for the opportunity to live and work abroad during the pandemic.
Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom estimates 42% of the US labor force is now working from home full time.And workers may not be returning to the office anytime soon.As the pandemic marches on and companies like Facebook announce employees needn't return to the office until mid 2021.
Some countries are shifting away from traditional tourism models that rely on a stream of short term visitors in favor of travelers who are willing to stay for longer periods.These destinations are enticing this new group of “digital nomads (数字游民)” with low COVID 19 rates, decreased costs of living and a slower, more relaxed pace of life.
Starting 21 August, remote workers can apply to live and work on the 35 square mile island of Anguilla, a British overseas territory that has registered only three COVID 19 cases to date.A press release issued by the Anguilla Tourist Board on 19 August quoted Kenroy Herbert, the board's chairman, saying the territory is “targeting a new clientele we call digital nomads, who will come and work remotely from Anguilla on extended stay visas.”
Priority to enter Anguilla is being given to applicants from those countries, which were defined as those with less than 0.2% infection rate.Besides, unlike other destinations, Anguilla asks only for a “brief description” of the type of work one will do while there.A stay under three months costs ＄1，000 for individuals and ＄1，500 for a family of four.Entrance fees, which double for longer stays, cover two COVID 19 tests, a digital work permit and other costs.
Travelers who apply for new year long work visas to Barbados know within five working days whether their visa request is confirmed.There is free Wi Fi throughout the island, including restaurants, cafes, public libraries and public parks.Visa holders can send their children to private schools or pay a small amount of money to attend a state owned public school.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了想要去国外生活的人的机会来了，并介绍去了度假岛远程工作的相关事宜。
32．What does the underlined word “enticing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Defending. B．Attracting.
C．Prohibiting. D．Exciting.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，这些旅游目的地凭借其新冠肺炎感染率低、生活成本低和更放松的慢节奏生活吸引着这批新的“数字游民”，故画线词的含义为“吸引”。
33．Which kind of applicants will be allowed to Anguilla first
A．Those who're from “low risk” countries.
B．Those who will stay more than 3 months.
C．Those who offer double entrance fees.
D．Those who like to work at home most.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的Priority to enter Anguilla is being given to applicants from those countries, which were defined as those with less than 0.2% infection rate.可知，能够优先通过申请的是那些来自新冠肺炎感染率低于0.2%的国家的游客，即“低风险”国家的游客优先。
34．What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us about Barbados
A．Its geographical position.
B．Its appealing attractions.
C．Its modern equipment.
D．Its favorite public facility.
解析：选D 段落大意题。根据最后一段可知，游客如果申请去巴巴多斯岛的一年期新工作签证，只需五个工作日就能知道申请有没有通过。另外岛上有免费的无线网络，覆盖了餐厅、咖啡馆、公共图书馆和公园等场所。签证持有者可以送孩子去私立学校，或支付一小笔费用上公立学校。因此最后一段主要讲述了该岛的公众配套设施。
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain a social phenomenon.
B．To call on people to work at home.
C．To recommend telework destinations.
D．To tell us the situation of pandemic.
解析：选C 写作意图题。根据第一段第一句话Always wanted to live abroad Now may be your best chance.可知，一直想去国外生活？现在可能是你的最佳机会。下文具体介绍了去度假岛远程工作的相关事宜，因此本题答案为C。

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There are plenty of sites that claim to be one of the world's natural 56 (wonder)，but Victoria Falls， 57 are the product of the Zambezi River，are really worthy of the theme.When the river is at its full strength，nearly a million liters of water flow through the falls every second，throwing up giant clouds of mist and 58 (form) rainbows in the sun.
If you want to get a bird's eye view of the Zambezi，you should 59 (take) to the air by helicopter.For a more wonderful view，take a boat trip 60 the so called Devil's Pool on Livingstone Island.Here you can swim in 61 (safe) right up to the edge of the giant curtain of water.The Zambezi here offers possibly the best rafting (木筏漂流) experience worldwide.More than 20 rapids make up the experience.More of the river is 62 (access) from August to December.
The first rapids will take things 63 (slow)，and then the rapids will become quick.The Gulliver's Travels rapids will remind you to look up as well as ahead.Most rafting trips will take 64 break halfway for a picnic，and then it's time for you 65 (come) back to the raft.You might be eager to dive off the raft.This is also usually the point where the guide tells you about local crocodiles having a taste for tourists.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了赞比西河的美丽风光及其特色旅游项目。
56．wonders 考查名词的单复数。“one of the＋复数名词”意为“……中之一”，故填wonders。
57．which 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Victoria Falls，且在从句中作主语，故填which。
58．forming 考查非谓语动词。根据上文的throwing up giant clouds of mist可知，此处用动词 ing形式作结果状语，并与throwing构成并列关系，故填forming。
59．be taken 考查动词的语态。因you与take之间是动宾关系，且设空处前有情态动词should，故填be taken。
60．to 考查介词。take a boat trip to ...意为“乘船到……”，故填to。
61．safety 考查词性转换。in safety意为“安全地，平安地”，故填safety。
62．accessible 考查词性转换。设空处所在句意为“许多河段在8至12月份之间可以进入”，系动词be后跟形容词作表语，故填accessible。
63．slowly 考查词性转换。设空处修饰take，表示“缓慢地”，故填slowly。
64．a 考查冠词。take a break意为“休息”，为固定搭配，故填a。
65．to come 考查非谓语动词。It's time for sb to do sth意为“是某人做某事的时候了”。故填to come。

Nowadays, many students go abroad for further study. As for their accommodation, I think it better to live in a host family.
To begin with, many students feel homesick abroad.In that case, a host family gives them a sense of belonging and makes them feel warm at heart.What's more，they can communicate with the natives more conveniently in a host family.It not only improves their spoken language but also helps them learn more about that country.
In conclusion, I firmly believe students should live in a host family while studying abroad.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was 9 years old, I used to cut grass for Mrs Long.The elderly lady paid me very little, for she hadn't much money.But she did promise me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be.The boys I played with had baseball gloves and bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that Mrs Long intended choosing from among them.
It would hardly be a baseball glove, I reasoned with myself.A woman like Mrs Long wouldn't know much about baseball.Since she was old and weak, I also ruled out the bicycle, for how could she handle such a large item.
On my last Saturday at work, Mrs Long said, “At Christmas you come to the door and collect the present.” These words clinched (确定) my guess.Since she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself, unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates.
I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates and the excitement they brought me.As the cold days of November arrived and ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice.“Get away from that ice！” a man shouted.
“It's not strong enough yet.”
As Christmas approached it was with difficulty that I restrained (抑制) myself from reporting to Mrs Long and demanding my present.On the 21st of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had ice skates were able to use them.My longing to possess mine became overpowering.
So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at Mrs Long's door.“I've been waiting for you，” she said with a smile.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me.
On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package.
参考范文：
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me.She said to me, “Thanks for cutting grass for me.Because I didn't have much money, I didn't pay you money.I had promised to give you a present, so it is time for you to get your present.” I was so excited that I wanted to open it right now, but Mrs Long stopped me and said, “you can't open it until Christmas morning, can you make it？” “Of course, Mrs Long.” I replied.
On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package.To my excitement, it was a brand new pair of ice skates which I was eager for.I couldn't control myself and went to the frozen pond.I skated on the ice with the other people.As I skated on the ice, I thought of Mrs Long, how kind she was to send me such a present.She observed me for a long time and knew what I wanted so much.It was a present better than much more.

W：Have you all heard about the White House Today we're going to talk about the building that symbolizes the USA. Mr. Green, please.
M：The White House is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. You can't say you've been to WashingtonD．C. if you haven't seen the White House. Not every American president lives there. Though the Executive Mansion was begun in 1792 under the direction of George Washington, the structure was not completed until 1800, so ironically Washington never called it home. The White House is open to the public on weekdays from 10 am until noon. The building was torched by British troops in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the structural damage caused by the fire was repaired, but the sandstone walls outside were still black from the fire. The walls were then painted white, giving birth to the name the building now goes by. An act of Congress made it the official name in 1920. Every President has left his mark upon the White House, with Thomas Jefferson adding grass to the east and west wings, Andrew Jackson installing running water, and Harry Truman adding a porch. Bill Clinton's addition to the White House was an indoor track.

A
Great Activities for Nature Lovers
Hiking
One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike.Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure.This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.
Backcountry Camping
Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure？Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location.If you're an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature.Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks.If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
Gardening
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day.If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers.There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself.One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.
21．What does hiking need for hikers
A．A world map. B．A strong desire.
C．Practical skills. D．Necessary equipment.
22．Where will you go to show your survival potential in the wild
A．To a backyard. B．To a forest.
C．To a mountain. D．To a distant place.
23．Which of the following can take you to travel farthest
A．Hiking.
B．Backcountry Camping.
C．Gardening.
D．Mountain and Road Biking.
B
An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
24．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy
A．To invite authors to guide readers.
B．To encourage people to read and share.
C．To involve people in community service.
D．To promote the friendship between cities.
25．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project
A．Because they had little interest in reading.
B．Because they were too busy to read a book.
C.Because they came from many different backgrounds.
D.Because they lacked support from the local government.
26．According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out
A．In large communities with little sense of unity.
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C．In medium sized cities with a diverse population.
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的This may show that the idea works best in medium sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.可知，中等城市或比较大的市镇，人们达成共识比较容易。
27．According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by ．
A．the careful selection of a proper book
B．the growing popularity of the writers
C．the number of people who benefit from reading
D．the number of books that each person reads
C
When the German psychologist Kurt Lewin moved to the US, he found his new home a little puzzling, especially when it came to friendships.“Compared with Germans, Americans seem to make quicker progress toward friendly relations early in the acquaintance process and with many more persons，” he wrote.“Yet this development often stops at a certain point and the quickly acquired friends will, after years of close relations, say goodbye as easily as after a few weeks of acquaintance.”
Lewin thought that this idea of friends as fast fashion might be encouraged by the United States's high level of residential mobility (居住流动性).
Gillath and Keefer did studies where people took questionnaires about their willingness to discard things and their history of moving from place to place.They found that people who'd moved around a lot were more willing to get rid of objects, and being willing to get rid of things was connected with being willing to cut social ties.
Moving is a big life change, and not only with regard to place.The social circles they have easy access to are also likely to change.This isn't to suggest that people view their friends as objects.“Moving also requires making choices about which relationships are worth keeping and which are not, which ties could be replaced and which ties should be kept，” Gillath and Keefer wrote.
Perhaps this tendency to keep friendships from getting too deep comes not only from an easy come, easy go attitude due to mobility, but also the knowledge of how hard it is to leave people.As John Reisman puts it, “Within a changing society, people could, by keeping their friendships at an associative level, protect themselves from the sadness and self blame that can be brought about when they have to cut close relationships.”
28．What puzzled Kurt after he came to America
A．Americans were friendly to Germans.
B．Americans easily won emotional friends.
C．Americans were likely to end friendships easily.
D．Americans considered it fashion to make friends.
29．What does the underlined word “discard” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Throw away. B．Put away.
C．Take over. D．Break down.
30．Gillath and Keefer proved that moving is a chance to .
A．keep one's former social circles
B．judge one's friendship with others
C．choose the objects from old friends
D．test one's long distance relationships
31．Why do Americans let friendships go willingly according to Reisman
A．To be ashamed of living in a changing society.
B．To feel less guilty of moving away all the time.
C．To keep themselves from being hurt by friends.
D．To reduce the pain of ending deep friendships.
D
Always wanted to live abroad Now may be your best chance.More countries are inviting travelers to trade their home offices for the opportunity to live and work abroad during the pandemic.
Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom estimates 42% of the US labor force is now working from home full time.And workers may not be returning to the office anytime soon.As the pandemic marches on and companies like Facebook announce employees needn't return to the office until mid 2021.
Some countries are shifting away from traditional tourism models that rely on a stream of short term visitors in favor of travelers who are willing to stay for longer periods.These destinations are enticing this new group of “digital nomads (数字游民)” with low COVID 19 rates, decreased costs of living and a slower, more relaxed pace of life.
Starting 21 August, remote workers can apply to live and work on the 35 square mile island of Anguilla, a British overseas territory that has registered only three COVID 19 cases to date.A press release issued by the Anguilla Tourist Board on 19 August quoted Kenroy Herbert, the board's chairman, saying the territory is “targeting a new clientele we call digital nomads, who will come and work remotely from Anguilla on extended stay visas.”
Priority to enter Anguilla is being given to applicants from those countries, which were defined as those with less than 0.2% infection rate.Besides, unlike other destinations, Anguilla asks only for a “brief description” of the type of work one will do while there.A stay under three months costs ＄1，000 for individuals and ＄1，500 for a family of four.Entrance fees, which double for longer stays, cover two COVID 19 tests, a digital work permit and other costs.
Travelers who apply for new year long work visas to Barbados know within five working days whether their visa request is confirmed.There is free Wi Fi throughout the island, including restaurants, cafes, public libraries and public parks.Visa holders can send their children to private schools or pay a small amount of money to attend a state owned public school.
32．What does the underlined word “enticing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Defending. B．Attracting.
C．Prohibiting. D．Exciting.
33．Which kind of applicants will be allowed to Anguilla first
A．Those who're from “low risk” countries.
B．Those who will stay more than 3 months.
C．Those who offer double entrance fees.
D．Those who like to work at home most.
34．What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us about Barbados
A．Its geographical position.
B．Its appealing attractions.
C．Its modern equipment.
D．Its favorite public facility.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain a social phenomenon.
B．To call on people to work at home.
C．To recommend telework destinations.
D．To tell us the situation of pandemic.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was 9 years old, I used to cut grass for Mrs Long.The elderly lady paid me very little, for she hadn't much money.But she did promise me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be.The boys I played with had baseball gloves and bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that Mrs Long intended choosing from among them.
It would hardly be a baseball glove, I reasoned with myself.A woman like Mrs Long wouldn't know much about baseball.Since she was old and weak, I also ruled out the bicycle, for how could she handle such a large item.
On my last Saturday at work, Mrs Long said, “At Christmas you come to the door and collect the present.” These words clinched (确定) my guess.Since she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself, unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates.
I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates and the excitement they brought me.As the cold days of November arrived and ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice.“Get away from that ice！” a man shouted.
“It's not strong enough yet.”
As Christmas approached it was with difficulty that I restrained (抑制) myself from reporting to Mrs Long and demanding my present.On the 21st of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had ice skates were able to use them.My longing to possess mine became overpowering.
So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at Mrs Long's door.“I've been waiting for you，” she said with a smile.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me.
On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package.
