At eleven,I decided to learn to swim.There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity.My mother continually warned against it,and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river.But the YMCA pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water.This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet.I was afraid of going in all alone,so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others.Then came a big boy.He yelled,“Hi,how’d you like to be ducked ” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position,and swallowed water.But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom,I would make a big jump to come out of the surface.It seemed a long way down.I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards.Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water.I tried to yell but no sound came out.I went down,down,endlessly.
When I came to consciousness,I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool.I avoided water whenever I could.This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming.Finally,I decided to get an instructor.Piece by piece,he built a swimmer.Several months later,the instruction was finished,but I was not.Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July.I swam across the Lake Wentworth.Only once did the terror return.When I was in the middle of the lake,I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water.I laughed and said,“Well,Mr Terror,what do you think you can do to me ”
I had conquered my fear of water.

Children are starting on digital devices at ever younger ages,and opinions on the effects of children’s digital-media habits are deeply polarized (两极分化的).
Jean Twenge,a psychology professor,thinks excessive use of the Internet and social media makes children lonely and depressed and poses serious risks to their physical and particularly their mental health,sometimes to the point of driving them to suicide.
However,Daniel Kardefelt-Winther of the Innocenti research office of Unicef examined various evidence and found less cause for alarm than is often suggested.Most of the studies be examined seem to show that the technology helps children stay in touch with their friends and make new ones.
The relationship between the use of digital technology and children’s mental health,broadly speaking,appears to be u-shaped.Researchers have found that moderate use is beneficial,whereas either no use at all or extreme use could be harmful.
What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury (武器库) for perpetuating (巩固) their social advantages.Children from well-off homes are enrolled in private classes to learn skills like “How to be a YouTuber”,which poorer parents cannot afford.
28.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A.The disadvantages of overusing digital media.
B.The bad effects of using digital media.
C.Several bad impacts of using digital media.
D.The advantages of overusing digital media.
29.What is Daniel Kardefelt-Winther’s attitude to the use of digital media
A.Objective. B.Favorable. C.Indifferent. D.Uncertain.
30.What can you infer from the last paragraph
A.Not all children from rich homes can attend private classes.
B.Not all children from poor homes can learn skills like “How to be a YouTuber”.
C.Digital media is the only way of strengthening the middle-class.
D.Digital media can widen class gap.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Should Children Interact with Digital Media
B.Should Parents Allow Their Children to Interact with Digital Media
C.What Children Do to Interact with Digital Devices
D.How Children Interact with Digital Devices
D
Nowadays,more and more employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time,and that number is continuing growing.It’s believed that flying around the world for face-to-face company meetings is a waste of time and money.An effective choice to get rid of it is to use web meetings.
A large number of group presentations,training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience.Web meetings are online meetings where an organiser invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters.Besides,web meetings can be recorded for later use.
Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting.Some web meeting software programmes can monitor the users’ desktop behaviour to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.If so,the programme can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention,and how long the distraction lasts.In this way,the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.
Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器).Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken,uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have access to the server,web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.
Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers.They can either buy a special web meeting server to host their meetings on-site,or they can pay for a web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings.The choice depends on how frequently the company holds web meetings,the average number of people attending the meetings,and the quality of engineering and information technology.
Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business.With all the technologies today,the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.
32.In what way do some web meeting software programmes help improve the meetings
A.By tracking the users’ state. B.By giving useful suggestions.
C.By sharing detailed technical data. D.By providing other presenters’ videos.
33.It is better for a company to buy a web meeting server if it 　　　.
A.relies little on the quality of IT B.holds web meetings twice a week
C.doesn’t have so many employees D.has branches in the same city or province
34.What can we infer about web meetings
A.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.
B.Web meetings work without the help of a server.
C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.
D.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.
35.The purpose of this passage is 　　　.
A.to advertise servers used in web meetings
B.to persuade companies to hold web meetings
C.to introduce the benefits of using web meetings
D.to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of web meetings

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。
I was crossing a very busy street when I heard something familiar.I later asked my sister Jeanne how she had known it was me!She said it was my laugh.I wouldn’t say my laugh is unusual,but I guess to a family member it can spread to him or her in some way.It hits their hearts and makes a deep,clear sound that continues for a long time in their minds.I would tell you our story right here.
I come from a broken family.After we grew up,I haven’t seen my other three brothers and sisters for many years.And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne was only 14 months older than me,but by the time we were teenagers,we had lost touch with each other.By age 19,I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’s horse farm in Virginia,where I worked to treat sick or injured animals.I was told that Jeanne got married at 18,and moved to Chicago.And our connection somehow ended since then.
About five years flew by.I was 24 and on a trip with my husband to New York City,a place where I had never been before.It was a very,very large city.I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little town of Driver,Virginia.We went to New York to visit my husband’s cousin.We went to Little Italy,the Statue of Liberty,Chinatown,and several other places of interest.I had never seen so many taxis in one place in all my life.
One day,we were crossing a very busy street filled with people.Everyone was in a hurry.I laughed at something my husband said,and I suddenly heard my name called from somewhere behind me:“Chery!” I stopped in the middle of the road.Tears rolled down quickly at once from my face.I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
I shouted back before even turning to look,“Jeanne ”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Since that time,my sister and I have never been separated.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个研讨会的相关信息。在研讨会期间,学生们将学习印刷、广播、电视和数字新闻的基础知识。
21.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“During the workshop,students learn the fundamentals of print,radio,TV and digital journalism.”可知,在研讨会期间,学生将学习印刷、广播、电视和数字新闻学的基础知识。故选B项。
22.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sessions are held for eight continuous Saturdays from 29 February to 18 April”可知,研讨会的时间为2月29日至4月18日,连续八个星期六。结合选项可知,4月11日(星期六)适合参与者参加研讨会。故选A项。
23.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“High school students in Washington,D.C.area are invited to apply to the Washington Association of Black Journalists’ annual Urban Journalism Workshop.”可知,华盛顿特区的高中生应邀参加华盛顿黑人记者协会的年度城市新闻研讨会。文中还提到了scholarship(奖学金),因此文章的话题与教育有关,应出自报纸的教育栏目。故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。三岁时作者随着父亲在海滩玩耍,曾被海浪撞倒过,自此作者对水产生了恐惧;十一岁学习游泳时,作者被一个男孩扔进游泳池,这次经历让作者自此逃避水。但作者仍然想享受游泳的乐趣,于是作者请了专业指导老师,指导结束后作者仍然没有克服对水的恐惧。后来在一次游泳中,作者终于克服了对水的恐惧。
24.C　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,作者对水的恐惧源于三岁的时候被父亲带到海滩,被海浪撞倒的经历,故C项正确。第三段描述了被一个男孩扔进游泳池的经历的影响,但与题干中的original一词不符。
25.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I was not frightened...I would make a big jump to come out of the surface.”可知,作者并没有吓得要死,因为他认为一旦他的脚能够到池底,他就能猛跃,跳出水面。据此可知,作者并不害怕的原因是他想到了跳出水面的方法,故D项正确。
26.B　句意理解题。根据画线句的后句“Sometimes the terror would return.”可知,有时恐惧还会卷土重来;据此可以判断,画线句表示作者还没能克服恐惧,故B项正确。
27.A　主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者克服对水的恐惧的过程,故A项最适合作为本文的标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。儿童使用智能设备的年龄越来越小,但是人们对其影响持有不同的观点。
28.A　段落大意题。本段主要讲述长期使用智能设备,会让孩子感到孤独和抑郁,会造成长期的身体或心理影响,甚至导致儿童自杀。由此可知,本段主要讲述智能设备对儿童造成的不利影响。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Daniel Kardefelt-Winther查看了不同的证据,发现造成的不利影响的原因比人们通常认为的更少,而他发现科技可以帮助儿童与朋友保持联系,以及结交新朋友。由此可知,此人对儿童使用电子设备的态度是支持的。
30.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury for perpetuating their social advantages.”可知,让专家更担忧的是,电子设备似乎正在成为中产阶级巩固其地位的一种武器库,比如中产阶级能够支付私教课程,学习怎样成为YouTube的网红。由此可知,电子设备可能会扩大阶级差距。
31.A　主旨大意题。本文介绍儿童使用数字化设备的年龄越来越小,但是人们对其影响持有不同的观点。有人认为数字化设备会对孩子造成消极影响,但是有人认为数字化设备会让孩子保持与朋友的联系甚至结交新朋友。故A项“孩子是否应该接触数字媒体 ”适合作为本文的标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。随着当今科学技术的发展,传统的办公室可能很快就会成为过去,网络会议在商务办公方面取代了传统的办公模式,被广泛应用。
32.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Some web meeting software programmes can monitor the users’ desktop behaviour to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents.”可知,网络会议的软件程序通过监测听会者的状态来知道会议的哪一部分需要改进。故选A项。
33.B　推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知,公司可以选择购买一个特殊的网络会议服务器,也可以选择每次支付网络会议服务的费用。由此判断出,如果公司每星期举行两次网络会议,使用网络会议服务器的频率比较高,那么购买一个网络会议服务器会比较划算。故选B项。
34.D　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“An effective choice to get rid of it is to use web meetings.”和最后一段中的“With all the technologies today,the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.”可知,网络会议可以代替传统办公模式。随着当今科学技术的发展,传统的办公室可能很快就会成为过去,因此可以推断出,网络会议可能会得到广泛应用。故选D项。
35.C　写作意图题。纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了网络会议正在改变我们的商务方式,能避免浪费时间和金钱。由此判断本文的目的是介绍使用网络会议的好处。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭作业给学生带来的益处:锻炼学生的时间管理能力,老师的积极评价帮助学生树立自信等。同时也指出家庭作业应当适当布置,否则就会变成一种惩罚。
36.G　根据上文“Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home activities teachers assign to students.It can include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired skills.”可知,家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生的家庭活动组成。家庭作业可以包括巩固新获得的技能的实践作业。因此下文应进一步说明家庭作业的类型和作用,上文中的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments,故选G项。
37.B　本句位于段首,有总领全段的作用,且根据下文“For example,to complete their homework in time,children start dividing their time into studying and playing,thus learning to complete their scheduled tasks within the time they have.”可知,为了按时完成作业,孩子们开始把时间分成学习和娱乐,从而学会在有限的时间内完成预定的任务。所以本段是在说明可以通过家庭作业锻炼学生的时间管理能力,从而使学生受益。B项“Homework can benefit students in many ways.(家庭作业可以在很多方面使学生受益。)”符合本段文意。
38.C　根据下文“Teachers’ positive remarks can help develop students’ confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.”可知,老师的积极评价有助于培养学生的自信心,并鼓励他们跟上学习进度。下文中remarks对应C项中的comments。
39.D　根据上文“It provides them with a platform to express what they know or have newly found,and exhibit their talents.”可知,家庭作业给他们提供了一个平台,表达他们知道或新发现的东西,展示他们的才华。所以本段是在列举家庭作业带给学生的好处。D项“It also gives students the practice of whatever they learn in school.(它也让学生练习他们在学校学到的任何东西。)”符合文意。
40.A　根据上文“The amount and difficulty level of homework assignments should match the ages and abilities of students.”可知,家庭作业的数量和难度应该与学生的年龄和能力相匹配。A项“Otherwise,it will become a punishment.(否则,家庭作业就会成为一种惩罚。)”是对上文的进一步补充说明,故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者购物时的经历。作者在购买东西结账时,突然意识到没带银行卡。这时一位热心的爱尔兰女士坚持为自己付款,同时她也希望把这种善举传递下去。
41.C　由下文的“An Irish lady was 　　　behind me,next in the queue.”可知,作者在排队结账。句意:我走到队伍的最前面,把买的东西放到收银台。

写作
第一节
Dear Tom,
How are things going with you Hearing that you are also having online classes at home,I’d like to share with you my opinion about it.Since the outbreak of the pandemic,we have experienced a long period of online classes,which have benefited us a lot.First,without teachers’ guidance in person,it is an opportunity to improve our ability of self-control,encouraging us to keep focused on what we are learning.Additionally,we can communicate more with teachers online whenever we have questions.However,for online classes,there is a lack of classroom learning atmosphere.It could be more effective if we are provided with more interactions when taking the lessons.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
I shouted back before even turning to look,“Jeanne ”It was her,my dear sister.I began pushing people out of my way to get to her.People in the street were looking at us very surprisingly.They started to part,letting us go through.And there we were,standing in the middle of the street,facing each other and smiling.I asked her what she was doing in New York,and she told me everything about herself those years.It was a miracle to see my sister there.
Since that time,my sister and I have never been separated.My sister moved back to Wisconsin with me.We live not far away from each other,and we often visit our father together and look after him quite well.We visit each other as well and talk with each other almost every day.Whenever we are in trouble,we help each other.Many years have passed,and we have got into touch with my other brothers and sisters.We are now living a happy life on the horse farm.
