Long before social distancing, Greg Dailey was already keeping his customers at arm's length. In fact, to those on his paper route (路线) in central New Jersey, Greg has never been anything more than a shape past their driveway. But all that changed when one elderly customer asked him a simple favor: Could he please pull in and throw the paper closer to the garage
"If she can't get the paper at the sidewalk, which is 20 feet from the house, during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), how is she going to get the things she needs " Greg said. "So a couple days later I just decided, you know what, I'm going to put this note out." The note, stuck in the next day's edition, said "My name is Greg Dailey and I deliver your newspaper every morning"—which was news to most people—"I would like to offer my services—free of charge—to anyone who needs groceries (食品杂货)."
From that moment, the phone has been ringing off the hook. He takes the orders, does the shopping, and delivers the groceries—not by throwing them out the window, but by carefully placing them on the porch.
So far, he's delivered to nearly 100 senior citizens on his route, and some not on his route. If Greg hears about a person who is elderly or disabled, he will be there. Eileen Stein, 85, said: "I don't have enough adjectives. He is one of the finest people in the world." Another went even further, and called him the closest thing to bravery and kindness.
Greg says he might not necessarily stop when the pandemic is over. "There's something about being able to do something really nice for people," Greg said. Greg didn't do volunteer work before—actually, he didn't do his own grocery shopping before. He's just a guy called on to do it by chance—who will now stay in service by choice.
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A. Being familiar with his customers.
B. Being fond of his paper delivery job.
C. Trying to narrow the social distance gap.
D. Avoiding close contact with his customers.
5. Why did Greg begin the grocery delivery service
A. To earn more.
B. To make himself better known.
C. To do grocers a favor.
D. To help customers get necessities easily.
6. Which word best describes customers' attitude to Greg
A. Appreciative. B. Confused. C. Curious. D. Unconcerned.
7. What can we infer about Greg from the last paragraph
A. He will start his own grocery store.
B. He used to take part in volunteer work.
C. He developed more newspaper delivery routes.
D. He will continue his services after the pandemic.
C
A lot of people feel that it's much harder to learn a foreign language as they grow older—and they're right. A new study found that if you want to achieve the proficiency (水平) of a native speaker, you'd best start when you're 10 years old.
There is a lot of evidence that shows children find it much easier than adults to learn a foreign language, which has made researchers suggest that there is an "important period" for language learning. But until now, no one has really been sure what that age period is. Now, MIT researchers believe they have solved one of those things.
They found that the window starts to close when you're about 10 years old. Although children up to 17 or 18 learn a new language faster than adults, and their ability drops slower than that in adults, it becomes very difficult to reach the proficiency of a native speaker if you start later than age 10.
The findings are based on an analysis of a grammar test taken by nearly 670,000 people. Researchers took snapshots (快照) of thousands of people who were in different stages of learning English. They also used a game called "Which English " to judge which dialect (方言) of English the test-taker speaks. Within hours after being posted on the social media, the 10-minute test "Which English " spread quickly.
Researchers found that the grammar-learning ability remains strong until age 17 or 18, after which it starts to drop—which was rather unexpected. It's not clear why the drop starts to happen. It may either be a cultural reason or a biological one. You shouldn't let this disappoint you. Even if it's a bit harder, you should try it. It's not just the ability to talk to someone from another country. Studies have shown that learning a second or third language does wonders for your brain and mental health.
8. What does the word "window" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A good period to learn a foreign language.
B. The possibility to improve learning ability.
C. The chance to develop unique talent.
D. A better way to solve a problem.
9. What's the function of "Which English"
A. It tests people's grammar.
B. It helps people learn English.
C. It analyzes the way to learn English.
D. It tells the type of people's English.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Culture affects language learning greatly.
B. Learning a foreign language can be very useful.
C. Adults are not encouraged to learn new languages.
D. The author doesn't think the research is complete.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. When is the best time to learn foreign languages
B. Why does people's learning ability drop quickly
C. Important things for children's learning
D. Some special ways to learn grammar
D
The story of moon trees started in 1971, when Apollo 14 started a task to the moon. The task pilot was Stuart Roosa, a former U. S. Forest Service smoke jumper. When he was selected for the job, a few of his Forest Service co-workers asked him to take hundreds of tree seeds (种子) into space with him. He agreed.
Seeds were collected from five types of trees: loblolly pine, sycamore, sweetgum, redwood, and Douglas fir. The seeds were sorted—there were 400-500 in total—and another set of seeds remained on Earth as a control sample (对照样本).
On Jan. 31, 1971, Roosa, along with astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell, took off on the third task to the moon. The seeds stayed with Roosa as he moved around the moon and flew back to Earth. But the tool containing the seeds burst open, and the crew thought the seeds couldn't germinate any longer. However, the Forest Service sent the seeds to two of their stations anyway. Nearly all of the seeds began to sprout (发芽), and after a few years, the Forest Service had more than 420 young moon trees.
In 1975 and 1976, most of the young trees were given away to be planted for the country's two hundredth celebration. Not all states received trees because the five species were from western and southern states and wouldn't grow in other climates. Other young moon trees found homes in the U. S. such as at the White House, the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, Washington Square in Philadelphia, Valley Forge National Historical Park in Pennsylvania, and various universities. Some trees were given away as gifts to other countries, including Brazil, Switzerland, and Japan.
The number of moon trees has increased over the years, as cuttings were taken off moon trees and replanted. These second-generation moon trees are called half-moon trees. Roosa passed away in 1994, but a moon sycamore stands over his grave in Virginia.
12. Why were a set of tree seeds left on Earth
A. To tell moon trees apart easily.
B. To ensure their growth under control.
C. To protect them against being damaged.
D. To make a comparison with seeds in space.
13. What does the underlined word "germinate" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Suffer. B. Grow. C. Float. D. Change.
14. What do we know about moon trees from the last paragraph
A. Their type has increased greatly.
B. They are renamed half-moon trees.
C. They don't grow very well on Earth.
D. Their cuttings lead to more moon trees.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. The story of moon trees.
B. The discovery of moon trees.
C. The three tasks of Roosa to the moon.
D. The contribution of Roosa to moon trees' growth.
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions. It is, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. (1) This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (物物交换).
(2) In about 1900 BC, people in China began to use shells as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small.

In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. (3)
The next development was in about 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. (4) The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could tie them together. By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1,000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people in the Song Dynasty. (5)
A. As time went by, trade between countries increased.
B. People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.
C. They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
D. For example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.
E. It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe.
F. It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.
G. However, as the economy developed, such exchanges became impractical.
16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

One morning, Joey sat at the kitchen table and read the sports page of the paper. He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.
"Morning, Grandfather," he smiled. His grandfather sat across the table, looking sad. He didn't pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, "Joey, is anything happening in town today " "There's a ball game between Sequoyah Middle School and my school tonight. Would you like to go " Joey told him.
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn't read. His grandfather had told him often, "I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read."
One day Grandfather asked Joey, "Joey, would you go with me to the grocery store I need several things." In the store, Joey's grandfather walked up and down the aisles (过道), looking at all the pictures on the cans. He saw a can without a picture on it. "What's in that can " he asked. Joey, reading the label, said "It's a can of chicken soup." His grandfather walked to the meat counter but he couldn't read the prices or the labels. Finally, Grandfather gave Joey the grocery list and stepped out of the store. "I will meet you at the car," he said. Joey watched him go through the door, and he thought, "I wish I could help him out but I don't know where to begin and how to start."
The next day was Sunday. Joey went to the library to look through some books when he saw a sign on the library wall. It read, "Do you know somebody who can't read We can help. Just call this number." Joey wrote the number down, and hurried home. "Somebody can teach you how to read. Just call this number," Joey explained excitedly to his grandfather.
Paragraph 1:
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school.

37.【答案】 Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school. He arrived at the library an hour early. During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn't remember anything the teacher said. He felt very sad and even wanted to give up. Joey encouraged him and promised to help with his study. They learned together and worked hard on the lesson every day. He took over a lot of chores to give his grandfather more time to study, Grandfather's constant efforts earned considerable progress in the following months.
Months later, Grandfather said to Joey, "I just got a letter from Aunt Helen, and let me read it to you." When he finished reading the letter, Joey cried. He was so proud of his grandfather for overcoming a lifelong obstacle that his chest felt as though it was about to burst. Grandfather looked up from the page and locked his tear-filled eyes on Joey. "Grandfather," said Joey, "good job! I'm so proud of you." Grandfather smiled back.
