第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Situated along the Pacific Flyway, a good migratory path that stretches from Alaska to Patagonia, Santa Cruz plays host to hundreds of bird species. Just head to one of the spots listed below and see for yourself!
UCSC Arboretum
The diverse plants that attract a wide range of birds make these gardens a wonderful place to start. Mark your calendar for the Arboretum’s popular Hummingbird Days, a family friendly festival that celebrates the tiny birds on March 5th and 6th.
Natural Bridges State Beach
This scenic park is excellent for bird watchers due to its wide sampling of local habitats. Over 250 bird species have been recorded in the area.
Neary Lagoon
Birdsong fills the air at this peaceful oasis less than a 10-minute walk from the fun of the Santa Cruz Beach. A walkway allows visitors a front-row view of birds such as American Coots.
Watsonville Wetlands
The wetlands provide a year-round home for local birds and serve as a stop for migratory birds visiting from faraway. Drop by the Nature Centre for exhibits, maps, and suggestions for best spots to visit.
Birding Tips
●The early birder gets the worm. You’ re likely to see more birds earlier rather than later in the day.
●No two visits are likely to be the same. Varying times and seasons bring different birds and behaviour.
●No matter how cute those little birds are, you should resist feeding them with your bread. It’s unhealthy for the bird and the surrounding ecosystem.
How to Get More Involved
We recommend joining the Santa Cruz Birding Club for public events and abundant online guides. Contact us free at Birding & Wildlife Watch Kit for registration.

I carried the flame in 1984 in the torch relay(火炬传递) as it made its way across the country to the Olympics in Los Angeles. What an honour that was! I wasn’t an Olympic athlete. My dad did some voluntary work for the Olympics, for which I had been offered the opportunity.
On one May night, the flame had begun its route across America, covering 15,000 kilometres. It inched its way up the coast from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometre. Some of the runners were legendary(享有盛名的), like the granddaughter of gold-medaled Jesse Owen. Others were common people like me and supporters of the cause.
I had been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that enormous distance Other people were huddled(挤在一起) in the dark on the sidewalk. What would they see
All at once it happened. A runner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way, jogging down the highway. There was no question whether I had worried about finding my way in the dark. People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed. Actually, it was not for me but for the cause that I represented. Soon, I passed the flame on to the next runner, who would pass it along to the next until it finally reached gold medalist Rafer Johnson who would carry it into the L. A. Coliseum.
How lucky I was to play a part! But I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch, for we are all the light of the world. Therefore, why not let your light shine

As technology makes communication easier and quicker, handwritten letters are nearly a thing of the past.
But it is making a comeback on Feng Shengji’s desk. The 34-year-old from Chengdu started an online letter-writing business in February last year, writing and mailing hundreds of letters on behalf of others. She has written letters of appreciation, apologies for wrongdoings, love letters and breakup letters. Her story has spread on social media, triggering wide discussion on the lost art of letter writing. It has been viewed more than 14 million times on Sina Weibo.
The idea of writing letters for others came when Feng tried to draw and write on her iPad to beat boredom during COVID-19. Then, she opened an online store for letter writing. Up till last month, she worked for a local design company in the day, and worked on her online business as a letter writer at night.
In mid-March last year, a doctor from Sichuan became her first client. He was assigned to help fight COVID-19 in Wuhan during the 76-day lockdown. The doctor contacted Feng to help him write thank-you letters to the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital and the hotel he stayed in for their care and support during his time in Wuhan. As mailing services were stopped during the lockdown, Feng wrote the letters on her iPad and emailed the letters. “I told him that I wanted to write the letters free of charge, but he insisted on paying,” Feng recounts.
Since then, her business has taken off. Up to now, she has written more than 700 letters, with each letter ranging from dozens of words to thousands. Depending on the length of the letters, each letter can cost from dozens of yuan to less than 100 yuan.
“Letter writing is a meaningful thing, and I want to make it into a lifetime career,” says Feng, smiling. She resigned from her design job and became a full-time letter writer from June.
28. Which can we infer from the passage
A. People used to write letters by hands.
B. People used to communicate much easier.
C. Technology makes people write letters often.
D. Hand-written letter was the only popular way of communication in the past.
29. What was Feng’s original idea to take up writing letters for others
A. To kill time during the pandemic(流行病). B. To revive the lost art of letter writing.
C. To help the doctors to keep in touch. D. To earn extra money in her spare time.
30. What do we know about Feng’s business
A. Her first customer got the service for free. B. Her business suffered a lot from COVID-19.
C. Her business is well received and successful. D. Her letter writing store was started in Chengdu.
31. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Fighting COVID-19 with handwritten letters B. A creative and successful woman writer
C. Written art revived as an online business D. Letter writing—an art calling for preservation
D
Many people living in extremely low-income areas don’t have access to the materials they need to make even the most basic home improvements. Most, including Tessa Vierk’s and Jim Benton’s friends, can’t afford to buy pricey tools themselves, nor can they afford to hire someone else to repair their homes. That’s where the Chicago Tool Library comes in!
Tessa and Jim set up the library that accepts tool donations in 2019. It functions exactly like a regular library, except instead of books, people can borrow tools they need for home repairs, woodworking, gardening, cooking, camping, and more. People sign up for a library card, and there’s a pay-what-you-can annual fee with no standard or minimum payments. Members can borrow as many tools as they can carry for seven days, and renew(续借) them if they want to. When the library first started, Tessa and Jim had about 150 members. They now have over 1,500 members from all over the Chicago area and more than 2,500 tools to choose from.
Now, in fact, they’ve had to turn down tool donations. They’re searching for a larger building to hold “twice as many tools”. “Probably 90 percent of the tools we have have been donated,” Tessa said. “A lot of people own too many high-quality things, and they would give them to us so that we don’t have the space to accept.”
“While it’s quiet around the library, it’s far from the city, which is hard for young people who are working to get our services. We are planning to relocate to a larger location with a better public transport network to make our offerings, including more tools, and lots of other wonderful services, available to even more people,” they wrote on their website.
32. What made Tessa and Jim start the Chicago Tool Library
A. Their love for reading books. B. Their friends’ encouragement.
C. Their interest in decorating. D. Their desire to help the poor.
33. Which word best describes the Chicago Tool Library
A. Academic. B. Popular. C. Costly. D. Demanding.
34. Why do Tessa and Jim turn down tool donations
A. They have had enough tools. B. The tools are of poor quality.
C. Their storage space is limited. D. They want to buy tools themselves.
35. What can be inferred about the present location of the library
A. It’s not easily accessible. B. It’s close to the community.
C. It’s too noisy and crowded. D. It’s favorable for the young.

In order to join the Merchant Marines, I had dropped out of college after my first semester(学期). Using an article from Life magazine as my guide I decided to hitch-hike(搭便车) down to New Orleans and see the world.
My family was relatively poor and my youth had been in the workingman’s section of a large New England mill town. My father and I had a hard time since my mother passed away. As she lay dying, my mother said to me in a weak voice, “Son, remember to ask your father for advice at every juncture(关头) of your life.” Yet we seemed more like room-mates rather than father-son. He thought I was foolish for dropping out of school, so I didn’t inform him of my plans.
I left a note on the kitchen table, telling him I was going to New York City for a few days and would be back soon. I walked to a highway near where I lived, stuck my thumb(拇指) out, and was“on the road”.
My trip to New Orleans was a mistake. The Merchant Marine wasn’t taking on any people for a while. I decided to wait in New Orleans until it did. I lasted over a week, living in a dirty hotel until my money started to run out. I had to stay up in the park for a few days. Life seemed to become a continuous adventure. From New Orleans I went to New York and stayed with a friend for a few weeks, and then went to Martha’s Vineyard, living on the beach in April. Later, I lived in an abandoned house in Nantucket and ended up with a long stop in Boston. There was no word from the Merchant Marine. I felt so desperate(绝望的).
My close friend Jimmy called me one day and asked me how everything was going. I had to tell him the truth and he persuaded me to go back soon.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I returned to my father’s, I had been away for more than two months. Finally, he said something about his childhood.

One possible version:
Dear Terry,
I am Li Hua. I worked as a volunteer during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. It’s a great honour to share something about the Beijing Winter Olympic Games with you.
As a whole, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games was a great success though Beijing was faced with the threat of novel coronavirus. On one hand, all people did their best to make good personal protection. What’s more, they did good jobs in the Olympic Games. On the other hand, all athletes got remarkable achievements although there was no audience in some matches. As for China, our athletes gained great achievements, which made me proud. What a great achievement they got! As a volunteer, I learned a lot and gained much experience from the work, which I think is valuable.
I hope all go well with you and look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version：
When I returned to my father’s, I had been away for more than two months. I expected him to be really angry because I hadn’t called or even sent a post card since I left. I walked into the living room and sat down, waiting for his anger to explode. My father was reading a piece of newspaper, glanced up, nodded at me, and then went back to his paper. He kept on reading for what seemed an hour but was probably only 5-10 minutes, taking no notice of me.
Finally, he said something about his childhood. He put his newspaper down and looked at me. He shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t matter to make mistakes, but you should learn a lesson from mistakes.” He said when he was young he didn’t like listening to his parents and didn’t take his parents’ advice either, so he made a few big mistakes. At last he realized what he had done was wrong and asked for his parents’ advice ever since. He suggested that I should go back to college to finish my degree. I decided to agree. After four years hard study in college, I found a good job.

A
Situated along the Pacific Flyway, a good migratory path that stretches from Alaska to Patagonia, Santa Cruz plays host to hundreds of bird species. Just head to one of the spots listed below and see for yourself!
UCSC Arboretum
The diverse plants that attract a wide range of birds make these gardens a wonderful place to start. Mark your calendar for the Arboretum’s popular Hummingbird Days, a family friendly festival that celebrates the tiny birds on March 5th and 6th.
Natural Bridges State Beach
This scenic park is excellent for bird watchers due to its wide sampling of local habitats. Over 250 bird species have been recorded in the area.
Neary Lagoon
Birdsong fills the air at this peaceful oasis less than a 10-minute walk from the fun of the Santa Cruz Beach. A walkway allows visitors a front-row view of birds such as American Coots.
Watsonville Wetlands
The wetlands provide a year-round home for local birds and serve as a stop for migratory birds visiting from faraway. Drop by the Nature Centre for exhibits, maps, and suggestions for best spots to visit.
Birding Tips
●The early birder gets the worm. You’ re likely to see more birds earlier rather than later in the day.
●No two visits are likely to be the same. Varying times and seasons bring different birds and behaviour.
●No matter how cute those little birds are, you should resist feeding them with your bread. It’s unhealthy for the bird and the surrounding ecosystem.
How to Get More Involved
We recommend joining the Santa Cruz Birding Club for public events and abundant online guides. Contact us free at Birding & Wildlife Watch Kit for registration.

I carried the flame in 1984 in the torch relay(火炬传递) as it made its way across the country to the Olympics in Los Angeles. What an honour that was! I wasn’t an Olympic athlete. My dad did some voluntary work for the Olympics, for which I had been offered the opportunity.
On one May night, the flame had begun its route across America, covering 15,000 kilometres. It inched its way up the coast from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometre. Some of the runners were legendary(享有盛名的), like the granddaughter of gold-medaled Jesse Owen. Others were common people like me and supporters of the cause.
I had been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that enormous distance Other people were huddled(挤在一起) in the dark on the sidewalk. What would they see
All at once it happened. A runner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way, jogging down the highway. There was no question whether I had worried about finding my way in the dark. People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed. Actually, it was not for me but for the cause that I represented. Soon, I passed the flame on to the next runner, who would pass it along to the next until it finally reached gold medalist Rafer Johnson who would carry it into the L. A. Coliseum.
How lucky I was to play a part! But I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch, for we are all the light of the world. Therefore, why not let your light shine

As technology makes communication easier and quicker, handwritten letters are nearly a thing of the past.
But it is making a comeback on Feng Shengji’s desk. The 34-year-old from Chengdu started an online letter-writing business in February last year, writing and mailing hundreds of letters on behalf of others. She has written letters of appreciation, apologies for wrongdoings, love letters and breakup letters. Her story has spread on social media, triggering wide discussion on the lost art of letter writing. It has been viewed more than 14 million times on Sina Weibo.
The idea of writing letters for others came when Feng tried to draw and write on her iPad to beat boredom during COVID-19. Then, she opened an online store for letter writing. Up till last month, she worked for a local design company in the day, and worked on her online business as a letter writer at night.
In mid-March last year, a doctor from Sichuan became her first client. He was assigned to help fight COVID-19 in Wuhan during the 76-day lockdown. The doctor contacted Feng to help him write thank-you letters to the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital and the hotel he stayed in for their care and support during his time in Wuhan. As mailing services were stopped during the lockdown, Feng wrote the letters on her iPad and emailed the letters. “I told him that I wanted to write the letters free of charge, but he insisted on paying,” Feng recounts.
Since then, her business has taken off. Up to now, she has written more than 700 letters, with each letter ranging from dozens of words to thousands. Depending on the length of the letters, each letter can cost from dozens of yuan to less than 100 yuan.
“Letter writing is a meaningful thing, and I want to make it into a lifetime career,” says Feng, smiling. She resigned from her design job and became a full-time letter writer from June.
28. Which can we infer from the passage
A. People used to write letters by hands.
B. People used to communicate much easier.
C. Technology makes people write letters often.
D. Hand-written letter was the only popular way of communication in the past.
29. What was Feng’s original idea to take up writing letters for others
A. To kill time during the pandemic(流行病). B. To revive the lost art of letter writing.
C. To help the doctors to keep in touch. D. To earn extra money in her spare time.
30. What do we know about Feng’s business
A. Her first customer got the service for free. B. Her business suffered a lot from COVID-19.
C. Her business is well received and successful. D. Her letter writing store was started in Chengdu.
31. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Fighting COVID-19 with handwritten letters B. A creative and successful woman writer
C. Written art revived as an online business D. Letter writing—an art calling for preservation
D
Many people living in extremely low-income areas don’t have access to the materials they need to make even the most basic home improvements. Most, including Tessa Vierk’s and Jim Benton’s friends, can’t afford to buy pricey tools themselves, nor can they afford to hire someone else to repair their homes. That’s where the Chicago Tool Library comes in!
Tessa and Jim set up the library that accepts tool donations in 2019. It functions exactly like a regular library, except instead of books, people can borrow tools they need for home repairs, woodworking, gardening, cooking, camping, and more. People sign up for a library card, and there’s a pay-what-you-can annual fee with no standard or minimum payments. Members can borrow as many tools as they can carry for seven days, and renew(续借) them if they want to. When the library first started, Tessa and Jim had about 150 members. They now have over 1,500 members from all over the Chicago area and more than 2,500 tools to choose from.
Now, in fact, they’ve had to turn down tool donations. They’re searching for a larger building to hold “twice as many tools”. “Probably 90 percent of the tools we have have been donated,” Tessa said. “A lot of people own too many high-quality things, and they would give them to us so that we don’t have the space to accept.”
“While it’s quiet around the library, it’s far from the city, which is hard for young people who are working to get our services. We are planning to relocate to a larger location with a better public transport network to make our offerings, including more tools, and lots of other wonderful services, available to even more people,” they wrote on their website.
32. What made Tessa and Jim start the Chicago Tool Library
A. Their love for reading books. B. Their friends’ encouragement.
C. Their interest in decorating. D. Their desire to help the poor.
33. Which word best describes the Chicago Tool Library
A. Academic. B. Popular. C. Costly. D. Demanding.
34. Why do Tessa and Jim turn down tool donations
A. They have had enough tools. B. The tools are of poor quality.
C. Their storage space is limited. D. They want to buy tools themselves.
35. What can be inferred about the present location of the library
A. It’s not easily accessible. B. It’s close to the community.
C. It’s too noisy and crowded. D. It’s favorable for the young.

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。
In order to join the Merchant Marines, I had dropped out of college after my first semester(学期). Using an article from Life magazine as my guide I decided to hitch-hike(搭便车) down to New Orleans and see the world.
My family was relatively poor and my youth had been in the workingman’s section of a large New England mill town. My father and I had a hard time since my mother passed away. As she lay dying, my mother said to me in a weak voice, “Son, remember to ask your father for advice at every juncture(关头) of your life.” Yet we seemed more like room-mates rather than father-son. He thought I was foolish for dropping out of school, so I didn’t inform him of my plans.
I left a note on the kitchen table, telling him I was going to New York City for a few days and would be back soon. I walked to a highway near where I lived, stuck my thumb(拇指) out, and was“on the road”.
My trip to New Orleans was a mistake. The Merchant Marine wasn’t taking on any people for a while. I decided to wait in New Orleans until it did. I lasted over a week, living in a dirty hotel until my money started to run out. I had to stay up in the park for a few days. Life seemed to become a continuous adventure. From New Orleans I went to New York and stayed with a friend for a few weeks, and then went to Martha’s Vineyard, living on the beach in April. Later, I lived in an abandoned house in Nantucket and ended up with a long stop in Boston. There was no word from the Merchant Marine. I felt so desperate(绝望的).
My close friend Jimmy called me one day and asked me how everything was going. I had to tell him the truth and he persuaded me to go back soon.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I returned to my father’s, I had been away for more than two months. Finally, he said something about his childhood.

53.B 考查名词。“我”只是把自己的瓶子给小女孩，可以说是举手之劳，因此，是小的行为（act）。
54.A 考查名词。“我”的举手之劳是对女孩的帮助，是善意的行为，因此判断，当她注意到有人在她的生活中需要帮助时，也许她会想起一个陌生人对她的好意（kindness）。
55.C 考查动词。想起一个陌生人对她的好意，也许这将使她更有可能参与进来。jump in不假思索地做。

Dear Terry,
I am Li Hua. I worked as a volunteer during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. It’s a great honour to share something about the Beijing Winter Olympic Games with you.
As a whole, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games was a great success though Beijing was faced with the threat of novel coronavirus. On one hand, all people did their best to make good personal protection. What’s more, they did good jobs in the Olympic Games. On the other hand, all athletes got remarkable achievements although there was no audience in some matches. As for China, our athletes gained great achievements, which made me proud. What a great achievement they got! As a volunteer, I learned a lot and gained much experience from the work, which I think is valuable.
I hope all go well with you and look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version：
When I returned to my father’s, I had been away for more than two months. I expected him to be really angry because I hadn’t called or even sent a post card since I left. I walked into the living room and sat down, waiting for his anger to explode. My father was reading a piece of newspaper, glanced up, nodded at me, and then went back to his paper. He kept on reading for what seemed an hour but was probably only 5-10 minutes, taking no notice of me.
Finally, he said something about his childhood. He put his newspaper down and looked at me. He shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t matter to make mistakes, but you should learn a lesson from mistakes.” He said when he was young he didn’t like listening to his parents and didn’t take his parents’ advice either, so he made a few big mistakes. At last he realized what he had done was wrong and asked for his parents’ advice ever since. He suggested that I should go back to college to finish my degree. I decided to agree. After four years hard study in college, I found a good job.

M: I hear that Ed will go to the kindergarten for the first time.
W: Oh, he’s very excited that he will go to school like other kids, but Grandma worries that he may miss home and feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment.
M: My son David went there last year and we were also worried at first, but it turned out that he did fairly well. He was happy. Children sometimes may bring surprise to concerned parents.
W: Yeah. And we live quite close to the kindergarten, so I can walk there with him every morning if weather permits.
M: Ed is always an outgoing boy who loves to have other kids to play with. I’m sure he will make it in the new place.
