Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures every day. When she grew older, the 15-year-old girl discovered the joy of sewing(缝纫). She said that she found it calming. She started out to make small things, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing. Her love of the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue bunnies is the name of her company, which makes what she calls "wearable art".
"My definition of wearable art is something that makes you feel unique(独一无二的). It's one of a kind, and often handmade."
All the pieces Ellie created were made of used or donated fabrics(布料). She worked a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process started with finding a piece of material that looked good with the jackets. "Then, I find out the design that works on it through trial and error(反复尝试) and the design comes to me," she added.
Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie "a dream student". She said Ellie worked hard and made progress. "She is always not only very creative, but also very kind and helpful to the other students."
Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and to spread the joy of creativity among children. She also dreams her business will grow and become a model for other young people who have a dream they want to come true.
4. What does "wearable art" mean according to Ellie Heath
A. Something that can be worn.
B. Something that is valuable.
C. Something that makes you feel different from others.
D. Something that cannot be found anywhere else.
5.Which of the following words can best describe Ellie
A. Creative and hard-working. B. Kind and responsible.
C. Warm-hearted and clever. D. Calm and unique.
6.What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. All of the cloth comes from donation.
B. Ellie got a lot of pleasure from her design.
C. It is a piece of cake for Ellie to create a unique clothing.
D. The process of artistic design is usually not easy.

Robots have certain advantages compared to humans. They are efficient, tireless and can be repaired when damaged and they never get sick. The last quality has made them the star during our fight against the COVID-19(新冠肺炎). While thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more have to stay at home for fear of getting the disease, this isn't a problem for robots. This is why the COVID-19 outbreak is seen as the “tipping point” for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.
In hospitals, robots are used to perform high-risk tasks. In China, for example, a hotel in Hangzhou employed a robot to deliver food to people under quarantine(隔离). In Spain, robots are about to be used to test people for the coronavirus(冠状病毒).
In non-medical companies, robots are also replacing human employees since they don't have the problem of the social distancing and will never take sick leave. Fast-food chains like McDonald's are not only delivering food with robots in some areas, but also looking to use them as cooks and servers. Walmart and Amazon, for example, where robots are already used in packing and shipping, are planning to increase the number of robots in these areas.
But this sudden boom in robot demand doesn’t mean that they can replace humans successfully in every aspect. According to Bill Smart, a roboticist at Oregon State University, the human contact between doctors and patients is still important. Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing daily tasks, like cleaning and giving tests.
It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans, but they are still secondary to human's communication and emotion.
8.Which of the following is not the advantage of robots over human beings
A. They never fall ill.
B. They can offer emotion support.
C. They are efficient in work.
D. They can be repaired when damaged.
9.Why does the author take McDonald's and Walmart as examples
A. To explain robots are more intelligent than humans.
B. To prove robots have social ability wherever they are.
C. To explain how robots replace humans in non-medical companies.
D. To prove McDonald's and Walmart are famous companies in the world.
10.What's the meaning of the underlined part “sudden boom” in Paragraph 4
A. Sharp increase. B. Low supply.
C. Short explosion. D. Excellent performance.
11.What's the best title of this passage
A. The Efficient Tireless Robots
B. Robots Will Replace Humans
C. Robots Aid in Coronavirus Fight
D. The demand For Robots Increase
D
Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google (Sergey Brin and Larry Page), Apple (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs), and Microsoft (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel, they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsung's Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched in 2016, customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She owes her business success specifically to her failures. "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long," she remembered. "People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that 'no' doesn't always mean 'no', and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years." Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!
12.What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1
A. All things are difficult before they are easy.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. Two heads are better than one.
13.Why does the author mention Samsung's Galaxy Note 7,8 and 9
A. To suggest customers should follow the new trends.
B. To explain that failures don't spell the end.
C. To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.
D. To show Samsung paid for its product failure.
14.What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success
A. Her friends'help. B. Her good luck.
C. Her will power. D. Her education background.
15.How does the author develop the passage
A. By making comparison. B. By making classification.
C. By giving numbers. D. By giving examples.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Let's take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
16 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. 17 That's around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻）from dirty water. That's around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water. 18 Therefore, they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
19 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 20 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly, too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water: they can't go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.

When I was in high school, the last person I wanted to be with was the foreign teacher. On one hand, I was unable to 41 what she said, so I did not know what responses I should give.

I paid little attention to the grammar and even used gestures, pictures and objects to make myself easily 50 . During the conversation, he frequently nodded to show his understanding of what I said, 51 encouraged me to express myself more 52 . This experience made me 53 that the attraction of language is not only in some 54 literary works but also in the understanding between two common people with 55 mother tongues.
It is possible for native speakers to make some 56 in communication, let alone people who learn English as a foreign language. Besides a good 57 of vocabulary and grammar, there are more other factors for effective(有效的) communication 58 facial expressions and gestures.

【参考范文一】
Dear Linda,
How are you doing I am very excited to share with you that I was admitted into my dream university. I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt appreciation for all you have done for me.
Every time I look back on my senior high, I just can’t help thinking of the days when you taught me English. Strict as you are with us, your enthusiasm and well-organized thoughts always made your class interesting and effective. You explained things so patiently and clearly that I could understand well. As a result, I made rapid progress in English. Along with your help in academic study, your attention to my daily life impressed me a lot. At one time, I was depressed because of the pressure of exams and the high expectations from my parents. It was your encouragement that inspired me and finally helped me realized my dream. Besides, you bought me medicine when I caught a heavy cold, which really surprised me and I shall always remember.
Words fail me when I want to express my gratitude for you. I will study even harder in the university and hope to have chance to repay you. May you be blessed in everything you do.
Your sincerely Li Hua
【参考范文二】
Dear Mrs Zhang,
I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude to you. You are the very person who gave me a hand when necessary.
One month ago, with the College Entrance Examination around the corner, I was nervous and in low spirits, being afraid of letting my parents down because of my average academic performance. When I was at a loss and on the point of giving up, as my headteacher, you asked me to go to your office.
Instead of blaming me, you comforted me and discussed with me the reasons for my failing in the exam. More unforgettably, you managed to help me with my study and always inspired me from time to time. Gradually, I learned how to adjust to myself and stayed calm in the College Entrance Examination.
Mrs Zhang, I’m more than grateful for what you have done for me, from which I’ve got to know it is never too late to get back when there is still hope. Wish you happiness and good health.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
