“At that time，I could not believe that there was such a nice person there to help me，” Xiuxiu whose father died from COVID-19 on Feb.8 and mother was admitted to ICU two days afterwards，said this when recalling Lou Weizhen’s help.
The morning of April 8，Lou Weichen，a young man born after 1995，left Wuhan city of central China’s Hubei province，the former epicenter(中心)of the COVID-19 disease.On the first day of the lunar year，Lou was one of the volunteers who came from another part of the country to aid Wuhan，bringing along 4，000 surgical masks he bought at his own expense.
Xiuxiu was the first Wuhanese that Lou lent a helping hand.On Feb.11，after learning about Xiuxiu’s family situation，Lou bought her two boxed meals along with a note saying “there is no winter insurmountable；there is no spring that will not come.Hang in there.Take care of your brother...Please call my phone when you are in trouble”.
During his 74-day volunteer life in Wuhan，Lou has never stopped helping others.He believed，“When all the money is gone，I will be able to earn it back.However，when a life standing in front of you is gone，if I hesitate for a moment，there will be consequences that I will regret for the rest of my life.”
A few days before Wuhan’s lockdown ended，Lou noticed there were more pedestrians and vehicles while he was wandering on the streets.“It’s starting to get busy again.This contrast is really too big...I was part of it，and I felt that everything I did was worthwhile.”
Before leaving Wuhan，Lou received a message from someone he once helped，stating “thank you for bringing color to our black and white world.”
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位志愿者在湖北武汉的经历及个人想法等。

C.He donated money to the old people.
D.He passed out free surgical masks he had bought.
【答案】 D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Lou was one of the volunteers who...he bought at his own expense.”可知，Lou把自己花钱买的4，000个医用口罩带到了武汉。故选D。
26.What can we know about Lou Weichen from paragraph 4
A.His volunteer life had some regrets.
B.He realized the exactly true meaning of life.
C.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D.He never hesitated to give help and hope to those in need.
【答案】 D 推理判断题。根据第四段的描述可知，他相信，当所有钱都花光的时候，还能把它挣回来，但当一个生命就在面前走过的时候，如果犹豫了一下，就会后悔一辈子。由此可推知，Lou在竭尽全力帮助需要帮助的任何人，故选D。
27.What’s the best title of the passage
A.Bringing “Color” To Wuhan People
B.The Lockdown of Wuhan City
C.Sufferings Wuhan People Have Experienced
D.Selfless Assistance from All over the Country
【答案】 A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Lou Weichen的志愿者经历和个人想法等，正是这些无私奉献的志愿者们给当地人们带来了“一缕缕阳光和生的希望”，由此可知A项正确。同时结合文章的最后一句“...thank you for bringing color to our black and white world”亦可知答案。

If you never read the classic F.Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up—by watching the latest film adaptation.Because if there’s one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，“It’s just like the book.”
Director Baz Luhrmann’s main challenge was“either to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald’s elegant essay—the open secret of the book’s staying power—or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的)strengths，”a Time magazine review says.He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success.
Considered to be Fitzgerald’s representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy.His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio)，who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War.Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy.Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his“golden girl”.They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer.Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war.However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick.Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
“All of Fitzgerald’s original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，”US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review.“The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，”Taroli adds.
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald’s description of Gatsby’s charm.“He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen.”David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film.“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，”the Fox News review says.
For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue(composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924)is played in the background.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了Baz Luhrmann(巴兹·鲁赫曼)导演的电影《了不起的盖茨比》，它改编自弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的同名小说。
28.What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success
A.He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B.He made the film more powerful than the book.
C.He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.
D.He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.
【答案】C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald’s elegant essay...or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的)strengths”和“He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success.”可知，他把自己的风格和原著结合起来从而获得了成功。故选C。
29.What is Taroli’s attitude towards the film
A.Favorable. B.Sceptical.
C.Amazed. D.Unconcerned.
【答案】 A 推理判断题。根据第五段的“The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast”可知，Taroli对这部电影是支持的。故选A。
30.What are the characteristics of Gatsby
A.Faithful and warm-hearted.
B.Charming and professional.
C.Selfish and stubborn.
D.Mysterious and devoted.
【答案】 D 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，对于盖茨比的一切都是令人怀疑的，除了他对Daisy的爱，因此他是神秘且忠诚的。故选D。
31.Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph
A.Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B.Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
C.Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D.Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.
【答案】 C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together”可知，导演擅长把视觉和音乐相结合，而最后一段则是举例子说明。故选C。
D
In recent years，China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands.In this market，Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders.It’s clear that a new generation of young，materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionist too，at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes.But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.
When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary，that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.
Study after study has shown that although we want material things，when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people.In fact，a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado，US，has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.That’s because experiences are more easily integrated into a person’s identity.If I travel to Yunnan，that adventure affects how I think in the future.My memories become a part of me.
Moreover，as Van Boven has observed，young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers.People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance.So my advice is：create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label.Convey your own message.Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck.Mark Zuckerberg，founder of Facebook，routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers.These people，successful people，have style.You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.
Take a trip.Go out into the world.Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，年轻人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情。我们应该出去旅行，去世界各地看一看，多体验多经历，自信来自于眼界。
32.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
A.The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B.The author sees no point in spending money on material things.
C.The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D.The author finds it natural for fashionistas to follow fashion trends.
【答案】 C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s clear that...to improve self-image.”，同时结合前三段的内容表述可知，年轻人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情。故C项正确。
33.Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ________.
A.traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
B.people dislike those who love luxuries
C.experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
D.luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
【答案】 C 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“In fact，a series of studies...who invest it in material things.”可知，系列研究表明，旅行和相似经历比奢侈品更能给人带来更多快乐。故C项正确。
34.What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A.Be selective about designer labels.
B.Create your own personal，unique style.
C.Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.
D.Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
【答案】 B细节理解题。根据第七段中的“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance.So my advice is：create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label.Convey your own message.”可知，作者建议要有自己的独特的形象，不要与品牌设计捆绑在一起，据此可知B项“创造你自己独特的个人风格”正确。
35.The main purpose of the article is to ________.
A.persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
B.prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
C.tell how to express yourself through appearances
D.report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
【答案】 A 目的意图题。根据文章最后一段的表述可知，作者建议大家个人形象的展示不要依赖于品牌，而是要通过旅行、个人经历等以创设出属于自己的真正的独特的个人形象，由此可知A项正确。

Carl lost his job.He tried to find another one but it wasn’t easy.As a result，the poor fellow couldn’t pay his bills and he couldn’t even find anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent most of his days at home.Sometimes he looked out of the window and watched his neighbor’s house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely，he hardly talked to his neighbors.Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique (古董) furniture and vases.Carl thought，“If I got an antique vase，I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o’clock in the morning and came back home at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.He had a dog.Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought，“I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem.”
There was an old gun in the cellar(地下室).It had been his great grandfather’s favorite thing a long time before.Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought，“Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he had to cut the end off with a saw(锯).
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o’clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window，which broke.It wasn’t high.He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls，small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn’t know much about arts.He couldn’t choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
It was the professor.He had forgotten to take an important document(文件) with him.

It was the professor.He had forgotten to take an important document with him. Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without thinking.The professor came into the room and saw him.“What are you doing in my house？”he asked surprisingly and angrily.“I haven’t stolen anything.Just let me go or I will shoot.”cried Carl，pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands.
The professor was scared. Suddenly，he burst into laughter.“With that gun？”asked the professor.Strangely，he didn’t seem frightened of Carl any more.He continued.“You can’t shoot with that antique gun.You should have put it in the museum actually.”“Is this really an antique gun？”Asked Carl.“How much is it worth？”“It was worth about 17，000 dollars，”said the professor.“But now you can get only 100 dollars for it.”“Why？”Asked Carl.The professor replied，“because its end is missing.”Unit 4 Adversity and Courage-单元综合测评

“At that time，I could not believe that there was such a nice person there to help me，” Xiuxiu whose father died from COVID-19 on Feb.8 and mother was admitted to ICU two days afterwards，said this when recalling Lou Weizhen’s help.
The morning of April 8，Lou Weichen，a young man born after 1995，left Wuhan city of central China’s Hubei province，the former epicenter(中心)of the COVID-19 disease.On the first day of the lunar year，Lou was one of the volunteers who came from another part of the country to aid Wuhan，bringing along 4，000 surgical masks he bought at his own expense.
Xiuxiu was the first Wuhanese that Lou lent a helping hand.On Feb.11，after learning about Xiuxiu’s family situation，Lou bought her two boxed meals along with a note saying “there is no winter insurmountable；there is no spring that will not come.Hang in there.Take care of your brother...Please call my phone when you are in trouble”.
During his 74-day volunteer life in Wuhan，Lou has never stopped helping others.He believed，“When all the money is gone，I will be able to earn it back.However，when a life standing in front of you is gone，if I hesitate for a moment，there will be consequences that I will regret for the rest of my life.”
A few days before Wuhan’s lockdown ended，Lou noticed there were more pedestrians and vehicles while he was wandering on the streets.“It’s starting to get busy again.This contrast is really too big...I was part of it，and I felt that everything I did was worthwhile.”
Before leaving Wuhan，Lou received a message from someone he once helped，stating “thank you for bringing color to our black and white world.”

If you never read the classic F.Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up—by watching the latest film adaptation.Because if there’s one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，“It’s just like the book.”
Director Baz Luhrmann’s main challenge was“either to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald’s elegant essay—the open secret of the book’s staying power—or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的)strengths，”a Time magazine review says.He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success.
Considered to be Fitzgerald’s representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy.His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio)，who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War.Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy.Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his“golden girl”.They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer.Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war.However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick.Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
“All of Fitzgerald’s original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，”US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review.“The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，”Taroli adds.
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald’s description of Gatsby’s charm.“He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen.”David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film.“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，”the Fox News review says.
For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue(composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924)is played in the background.
28.What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success
A.He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B.He made the film more powerful than the book.
C.He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.
D.He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.
29.What is Taroli’s attitude towards the film
A.Favorable. B.Sceptical.
C.Amazed. D.Unconcerned.
30.What are the characteristics of Gatsby
A.Faithful and warm-hearted.
B.Charming and professional.
C.Selfish and stubborn.
D.Mysterious and devoted.
31.Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph
A.Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B.Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
C.Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D.Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.
D
In recent years，China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands.In this market，Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders.It’s clear that a new generation of young，materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionist too，at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes.But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.
When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary，that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.
Study after study has shown that although we want material things，when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people.In fact，a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado，US，has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.That’s because experiences are more easily integrated into a person’s identity.If I travel to Yunnan，that adventure affects how I think in the future.My memories become a part of me.
Moreover，as Van Boven has observed，young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers.People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance.So my advice is：create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label.Convey your own message.Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck.Mark Zuckerberg，founder of Facebook，routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers.These people，successful people，have style.You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.
Take a trip.Go out into the world.Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
32.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
A.The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B.The author sees no point in spending money on material things.
C.The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D.The author finds it natural for fashionistas to follow fashion trends.
33.Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ________.
A.traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
B.people dislike those who love luxuries
C.experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
D.luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
34.What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A.Be selective about designer labels.
B.Create your own personal，unique style.
C.Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.
D.Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
35.The main purpose of the article is to ________.
A.persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
B.prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
C.tell how to express yourself through appearances
D.report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness

Carl spent most of his days at home.Sometimes he looked out of the window and watched his neighbor’s house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely，he hardly talked to his neighbors.Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique (古董) furniture and vases.Carl thought，“If I got an antique vase，I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o’clock in the morning and came back home at 4 o’clock in the afternoon.He had a dog.Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought，“I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem.”
There was an old gun in the cellar(地下室).It had been his great grandfather’s favorite thing a long time before.Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought，“Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he had to cut the end off with a saw(锯).
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o’clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window，which broke.It wasn’t high.He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls，small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn’t know much about arts.He couldn’t choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.
