Best Gifts to Children This Season
Marble (弹珠游戏) Circuit
With brightly colored pieces and a seemingly simple layout,Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a tough logic game—but don’t underestimate (低估) its difficulty.After drawing a challenge card,players must arrange pieces and fill in holes on the game board to allow the right number of marbles to run through the channels and into each box at the bottom of the board.Because it requires more patience and abstract,special thinking skills than some other kinds of logic puzzles,Marble Circuit is recommended for the kids over 8.(Mind Ware,$24.95)
Botzees
Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks,and then command it to dance,sing,drum and light up with the companion app on a smart device (设备) or tablet.Though the robot-building appealed to younger testers,kids aged 5 and up enjoyed the toy’s advanced features (特色).(Pai Technology,$99.99)
How to Code a Rollercoaster
Just as coding can be used to tell stories,this is a story about coding.This picture book does a good job of introducing and explaining what the code is,how computers understand it,and introducing common coding terms—variables,loops,if/then.The volume is part of the popular Girls Who Code series,but intended for the younger readers.(Penguin Random House,$17.99)
Code Like a Girl
Miriam Peskowitz features women in the computer science field in this how-to book.It shows how people are working to make tech a more inclusive place to code.Written with a cookbook-like feel,the book provides encouraging,step-by-step tips and tricks for learning the Python computer language,and more.(Penguin Random House,$21.99)

I had just won a bidding for a 1950s cookie tin full of memories at an estate sale.Delighted at my victory,I took the box and gave it a shake.The contents rattled.Inside were hundreds of buttons,pins,and other items,all glittering in the sunlight.As a girl,I’d always enjoyed digging through my mom’s box,just as my daughters enjoyed looking through mine.
My eye caught the movement of a swing on the front porch of the house.An old woman watched the happenings in her yard.As I carried my purchases to my car,I stopped to chat with her.She told me she was selling almost all her possessions because she was moving to a nursing home.
Her eyes fell to the button box,and when she looked up,they were glistening with tears.I took the lid off the tin,and her rough hands lifted a handful of buttons and then slowly dropped them back into the container.Her fist closed around a delicate pearl button,now yellow with age.“It was from my first husband’s uniform,” she said.“It’s one of the few things that remind me of him when he didn’t return home alive.” They had been married seven months before he left to serve his country in World War Ⅱ.
As we sifted through the box together,we found hairpins ranging from black to brown to shades of gray and even white,a key to a music box that played a special love song,garter clips,wooden nickels,ruby buttons; all took her further down the memory lane.I learned about her wedding,the birth of her children,and much more of the life she had led for 89 years.
After our chat,I set the woman’s box of memories down on the swing and slid my hands into hers.I knew we would talk again,when I went to visit her at her new home.And I knew that when I reached my own home,my heart would pull me to my sewing room,where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box.
24.How did the author feel when she got the tin
A.Curious. B.Regretful.
C.Joyful. D.Embarrassed.
25.What can we infer about the old woman from the text
A.She was to sell her house and move to a new one.
B.She had to sell many things to make ends meet.
C.She didn’t marry again after her husband died.
D.She was the former owner of the cookie tin.
26.What does the underlined phrase “sifted through” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Examined. B.Picked.
C.Carried. D.Decorated.
27.What does the button box represent
A.Antiques that add history to a place.
B.Memories of unpleasant experiences.
C.Objects that bring moments to mind.
D.Expressions of kindness from strangers.

Chinese delivery driver,Gao Zhixiao,was featured on the cover of Time magazine in March 2020 because of his remarkable sense of commitment.Alongside five others,he was picked by the magazine as one of the heroes amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Ever since COVID-19 broke out,many restaurants shut down or switched to takeout-only services.Millions of people have been staying at home to avoid getting infected.“People choose to order food online or buy fruit and vegetables to cook at home,” Gao told Time.As a result,delivery orders dramatically increased,placing a huge burden on delivery couriers.
Born into a poor family in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region,Gao started to make a living in Beijing at age 16.After the novel coronavirus broke out,Gao hesitated for a second to continue working,but then picked up orders because he thought customers might be in need.
Due to the danger of person-to-person transmission,Gao must take precautions to avoid spreading viruses during his route around Beijing,including taking a regular health test and spending 20 minutes disinfecting his motorcycle and clothes each morning.Besides delivering goods,Gao once willingly cooked for an elderly customer who was living alone at her home.
It is the commitment of ordinary people like Gao that has made the biggest contributions in the fight against COVID-19.
28.What can we know from paragraph 1
A.Gao manages a delivery company.
B.Gao is the only one to deliver food during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
C.Gao was chosen on the cover of Time magazine due to his selfless commitment.
D.Gao comes from a poor family.
29.Why delivery orders dramatically increased according to the passage
A.People were too lazy to go out for meals.
B.There was a discount if people chose delivery orders.
C.People were afraid of being infected coronavirus by going out.
D.People were asked to order food online by the government.

By the year 2050,a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities,according to a new research.A team of scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerl produced the report,which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future.
The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities would experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050,and 22 percent of the 520 cities would see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities.
In China in 2050,the climate of Xi’an,in Shannxi province,will be similar to that of current day Maseru,the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa,with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.5℃.Chongqing in southwest China will resemble the climate of Swaziland capital Mbabane,as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃.
Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃.London’s climate will be more similar to Barcelona,and Madrid’s to Marrakech.
The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate impacts due to the threat of the climate change.The report also found that cities in tropical regions will experience smaller changes in average temperature but will be controlled by shifts in rainfall regimes.This may lead to a noticeable increase in unexpected events,and severe droughts.
“Across all scientific fields,the greatest challenge in climate science is no longer the precise measurement of climate change impacts,but inspiring people to picture its actual effects in order to motivate action,” said Tom Crowther,a senior scientist and founder of the Crowther Lab.
32.What does the underlined word in the first paragraph probably mean
A.New. B.Similar.
C.Familiar. D.Important.
33.How did the scientists prove their result
A.By comparison. B.By theory.
C.By experiment. D.By number.
34.What is the purpose of the lab
A.To compare the climate change of the major cities of the world.
B.To inspire people to picture its actual effects in order to motivate action.
C.To inspire decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent some of the climate impacts.
D.To show that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a striking change in climate conditions.
35.What is the best title of the passage
A.World Temperature
B.Current Climate Change
C.Big Titles in the World
D.Future Climate Change in Most Big Cities

A Charity Sale for the Snowstorm-Stricken Areas
第二节(满分25分)
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。
One year,a newspaper of the United States published an announcement that the horticultural(园艺的) institute offered a reward at a high price for the pure white marigold (金盏花).The high reward attracted so many people,but in nature besides golden,the marigold is brown,and it is not easy to grow the white one.So after they were excited for a time,many people had forgotten the announcement.
Years flew away.One normal day after 20 years,the horticultural institute that had published the announcement accidentally received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigolds.On that day the news spread like wildfire.
It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old.The institute had always been hesitating over the fact that the letter said with certainty that the seeds could bloom pure white marigolds,and the need for verification (验证) became the focus of the debate.Whether they would make an experimental verification or not became the controversial focus at one time.
Some said you would never live up to the old woman’s wish.Those seeds finally took root in the earth.The miracle appeared after one year:large patches of pure white marigolds waved in the breeze.
Accordingly,the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.
Originally,the old woman was a flower lover.When she occasionally read the announcement in the newspaper 20 years ago,she was eager to try.But her eight children strongly opposed her decision.After all,a woman who never knew the seed genetics (遗传学) couldn’t complete what the experts could never achieve,so her thought seemed very foolish.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Still,the old woman didn’t change her mind and went on working without hesitation.
Finally,after 20 years on the day we all know,in the garden she saw a pure white marigold.

W:Welcome to Sabie Sands Park.This place isn’t just my business.It’s my passion coming to life.I grew up in India,and I spent so much of my childhood caring for animals.It wasn’t until I went to the boarding school in the city that I saw how urban people lived.It wasn’t just the lack of fresh air that surprised me.It was the complete absence of knowledge of nature and animals as well.My business partner and I grew up on a farm with very little money.But luckily for us,we were able to secure money for our business through rounds of investment.Originally,all of our investors recommended opening a public zoo and selling hundreds of tickets per day at around $20 each.Instead,we decided to make our park a more interactive experience.These days we bring in young students to work side by side with our staff.Children then get a free educational program in animal caretaking.However,we are also open to the public,in which we provide family tours and accommodation for the price from $30 to $100 per person.We’ve expanded our park to bring in all but the most dangerous animals.Of course,we want to provide children the experience of seeing animals like giraffes and elephants,but lions and wolves would be too dangerous.Now,we hope to add new members to our management team to take over daily operations while my current partner and I get older.
