Last year Justin met a great difficulty in his life: Where should he work after graduation He had two great offers. The first was a government job in his hometown, a 10-minute bike ride from his apartment. It wouldn't pay much, but he'd have time to spend with his wife, nephew, and aging parents. The second was a job in the biggest neighboring city. It would pay a lot more, but he'd have to travel four hours a day.
We know surprisingly little about how people do when they make more money at the expense of having less time or have more time at the expense of earning less money. My colleagues—PhD student Lucia Macchia, Professor Elizabeth Dunn and I set out to do a study. We asked more than 1,000 college students. What we found was that students who prioritized time were happier than those who prioritized money. Those who valued time were happier and more satisfied with their lives and careers one to two years after graduation.
People who live in more unequal areas feel less financially secure and are more likely to value money. People who grew up in families fighting about money also are more likely to focus on money instead of time as adults, even if they now have a lot of money. Of course, debt also plays a role.
Sometimes we cannot choose our priorities; we might need to choose the better-paying job and sacrifice (牺牲) having more time to socialize with our friends and family. Society needs to work harder to make us all feel like we have the choice to prioritize time over money. However, when we do have the ability to choose which resource to prioritize, the data is clear: Valuing time is likely to bring us greater joy both in the moment and in the long term.
4. What can we know about Justin from paragraph 1？
A. He tried hard to find a well-paid job.
B. He was unwilling to leave his family.
C. He had to make a great decision in life.
D. He had trouble in graduating from college.
5. Which of the following can explain the underlined word "prioritized" in paragraph 2？
A. Took...further. B. Put...first.
C. Spent...wisely. D. Saved...gradually.
6. What plays a role in people's valuing money over time？
A. Their family backgrounds.
B. Their educational experiences.
C. Their parents attitude towards them.
D. Their relationship with people in their area.
7. What is the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph？
A. To conduct a survey. B. To make a prediction.
C. To offer a choice. D. To draw a conclusion.
C
Trees in the cities are being robbed of sleep by street lights, according to a famous German scientist. Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees said that, like humans, "they also have to sleep at night". He compares trees in urban areas to orphans (孤儿) who have to grow without their network support, saying that light pollution makes city life even harder.
Mr. Wohlleben has studied trees and believes they raise their children, sweat, feel pain and communicate with each other. "Trees that live near street lights will die earlier because it's like a light burning in your bedroom," he said. "If you have any influence on street lights, you'd better turn them off at 1 o'clock or so." He developed the term "wood wide web" explaining how trees communicate and support one another. Mr. Wohlleben said roots had a hard time under sidewalks that were warmer at night when forests cooled down.
Researchers found artificial light changed the annual rhythm of blossoming(开花) and might have great effects on their health, survival and reproduction. Plants have grown well under 24-hour cycles of light and darkness, but the spread of artificial light disturbs these cycles. Light gives plants information about what time of day it is or whether they should be photosynthesizing(进行光合作用). If it's light all the time, they do not know when to carry out such activities.
In some cases the light is so bright that it affects their growth. Mr. Wohlleben also said that trees lose their leaves in the autumn because snow falling on the leaves would cause the branches to break, causing them physical pain. The well-known author looks after the forest representing the community in Hüimmel, Germany, where machinery is not allowed and the trees are left alone.
8. Why does Mr. Wohlleben compare trees in urban areas to orphans？
A. They grow more slowly than trees in rural areas.
B. They suffer from environmental pollution.
C. They aren't supported by other trees.
D. They can't sleep day and night.
9. What should people do to protect the urban trees？
A. Turn off street lights at midnight.
B. Leave lights on in their bedrooms.
C. Cut off the roots under sidewalks.
D. Learn the communication style of trees.
10. How does the light harm trees？
A. It breaks the cycle of trees.
B. It slows down the photosynthesis.
C. It shortens the blossoming time of trees.
D. It prevents trees from communicating.
11. What does Mr. Wohlleben do in the forest of Hümmel？
A. He keeps the leaves from falling.
B. He cures the trees of physical pain.
C. He makes the branches break easily.
D. He stops people using machines there.
D
The International Space Station(ISS) was just three small rooms when the first crew moved in. The crew members soon discovered there was hardly any space for them to move around. The air was warm and humid, making them feel sticky (感到热得难受的).
Twenty years later, the space station is almost as large as a football field and has three modern laboratories. The station has enough solar power equipment to fill almost four-tenths of a hectare, and enough electrical wiring to stretch 13 kilometers.
The first crew—American Bill Shepherd and Russians Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko—left Earth on October 31,2000. About 48 hours later, they opened the doors to the space station, holding hands in a sign of unity.
The three-man crew spent most of their time trying to get the equipment to work; heat from some of the devices made the living space too warm. Installing(安装) machines and making repairs took hours, compared to minutes on the ground, Krikalev remembered. "Each day seemed to have its own set of challenges," Shepherd said.
The space station did not come close to hitting any space objects during their nearly five months up there, Shepherd said, and the station has held up relatively well. Today NASA's top concern is the growing threat from space junk. This year, the space station has had to avoid objects three times. NASA and its partners say the space station easily has several years of usefulness left. Russia's Mir station operated for 15 years in the late 1980s and 1990s. America's 1970s Skylab spent much less time in space.
Shepherd said that the past 20 years of international experience and cooperation can help with enormous projects, like possibly sending humans to the planet Mars. "If you look at the space station program today, it's a blueprint on how to do it," Shepherd said.
12. Which of the following can best describe the ISS twenty years ago
A. Small but highly used. B. Large but impractical.
C. Wet and a little cold. D. Crowded and uncomfortable.
13. What did the first crew mainly do at the ISS
A. They operated the devices. B. They cleaned space junk.
C. They enlarged the space. D. They repaired the equipment.
14. What does NASA worry most about the ISS today？
A. There being more equipment failure.
B. There being doubts about its usefulness.
C. The risk of being struck by other objects.
D. The changes of the orbit three times a year.
15. What can be the best title for the text？
A. The contribution of the ISS
B. The development of the ISS
C. The problems troubling the ISS
D. The uncertain future awaiting the ISS
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
The future in sci-fi movies seems so close, yet so far away. Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. China started testing 5G mobile networks in its several cities in 2019. So what is 5G It's the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. (1)
5G's benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity. (2) People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That's how fast 5G will be.
(3) For example, one of the biggest problems with developing driverless cars is the delay between sending a signal and receiving it. Driverless cars must be able to react immediately to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds. (4) It will allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors' movements.
So what about 5G's connectivity (5) Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns the lights on when you open your front door.
"New things become possible when you can move information at a massive scale," Gordon Smith, CEO of a telecom equipment reseller, Sagent, told The Telegraph. "5G becomes the great enabler."
A.5G will make it better.
B.It connects people's lives in various ways.
C.Such speed helps other technologies, too.
D.The advantage of higher speeds is obvious.
E. We may develop smart environments with it.
F. With 5G, people can conveniently solve many problems.
G. It is faster and more stable than 4G, the last generation.

五、任务型读写（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）
37. 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。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain for almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and saw the best miracle in my life.
I was making lunch for the family in the kitchen when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible.
Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that unusual way toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping his hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill the water he carried. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches slapped(拍) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed (高声喊) at him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close.
But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy's hands.
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。
Paragraph1:
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.

37.【答案】 When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and began to cup both hands. He knelt down, letting the drip slowly fill up his "cup". And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears. "Mom. I'm not wasting."
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drop...and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride. I can't believe it was raining!

Last year Justin met a great difficulty in his life: Where should he work after graduation He had two great offers. The first was a government job in his hometown, a 10-minute bike ride from his apartment. It wouldn't pay much, but he'd have time to spend with his wife, nephew, and aging parents. The second was a job in the biggest neighboring city. It would pay a lot more, but he'd have to travel four hours a day.
We know surprisingly little about how people do when they make more money at the expense of having less time or have more time at the expense of earning less money. My colleagues—PhD student Lucia Macchia, Professor Elizabeth Dunn and I set out to do a study. We asked more than 1,000 college students. What we found was that students who prioritized time were happier than those who prioritized money. Those who valued time were happier and more satisfied with their lives and careers one to two years after graduation.
People who live in more unequal areas feel less financially secure and are more likely to value money. People who grew up in families fighting about money also are more likely to focus on money instead of time as adults, even if they now have a lot of money. Of course, debt also plays a role.
Sometimes we cannot choose our priorities; we might need to choose the better-paying job and sacrifice (牺牲) having more time to socialize with our friends and family. Society needs to work harder to make us all feel like we have the choice to prioritize time over money. However, when we do have the ability to choose which resource to prioritize, the data is clear: Valuing time is likely to bring us greater joy both in the moment and in the long term.
4. What can we know about Justin from paragraph 1？
A. He tried hard to find a well-paid job.
B. He was unwilling to leave his family.
C. He had to make a great decision in life.
D. He had trouble in graduating from college.
5. Which of the following can explain the underlined word "prioritized" in paragraph 2？
A. Took...further. B. Put...first.
C. Spent...wisely. D. Saved...gradually.
6. What plays a role in people's valuing money over time？
A. Their family backgrounds.
B. Their educational experiences.
C. Their parents attitude towards them.
D. Their relationship with people in their area.
7. What is the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph？
A. To conduct a survey. B. To make a prediction.
C. To offer a choice. D. To draw a conclusion.
C
Trees in the cities are being robbed of sleep by street lights, according to a famous German scientist. Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees said that, like humans, "they also have to sleep at night". He compares trees in urban areas to orphans (孤儿) who have to grow without their network support, saying that light pollution makes city life even harder.
Mr. Wohlleben has studied trees and believes they raise their children, sweat, feel pain and communicate with each other. "Trees that live near street lights will die earlier because it's like a light burning in your bedroom," he said. "If you have any influence on street lights, you'd better turn them off at 1 o'clock or so." He developed the term "wood wide web" explaining how trees communicate and support one another. Mr. Wohlleben said roots had a hard time under sidewalks that were warmer at night when forests cooled down.
Researchers found artificial light changed the annual rhythm of blossoming(开花) and might have great effects on their health, survival and reproduction. Plants have grown well under 24-hour cycles of light and darkness, but the spread of artificial light disturbs these cycles. Light gives plants information about what time of day it is or whether they should be photosynthesizing(进行光合作用). If it's light all the time, they do not know when to carry out such activities.
In some cases the light is so bright that it affects their growth. Mr. Wohlleben also said that trees lose their leaves in the autumn because snow falling on the leaves would cause the branches to break, causing them physical pain. The well-known author looks after the forest representing the community in Hüimmel, Germany, where machinery is not allowed and the trees are left alone.
8. Why does Mr. Wohlleben compare trees in urban areas to orphans？
A. They grow more slowly than trees in rural areas.
B. They suffer from environmental pollution.
C. They aren't supported by other trees.
D. They can't sleep day and night.
9. What should people do to protect the urban trees？
A. Turn off street lights at midnight.
B. Leave lights on in their bedrooms.
C. Cut off the roots under sidewalks.
D. Learn the communication style of trees.
10. How does the light harm trees？
A. It breaks the cycle of trees.
B. It slows down the photosynthesis.
C. It shortens the blossoming time of trees.
D. It prevents trees from communicating.
11. What does Mr. Wohlleben do in the forest of Hümmel？
A. He keeps the leaves from falling.
B. He cures the trees of physical pain.
C. He makes the branches break easily.
D. He stops people using machines there.
D
The International Space Station(ISS) was just three small rooms when the first crew moved in. The crew members soon discovered there was hardly any space for them to move around. The air was warm and humid, making them feel sticky (感到热得难受的).
Twenty years later, the space station is almost as large as a football field and has three modern laboratories. The station has enough solar power equipment to fill almost four-tenths of a hectare, and enough electrical wiring to stretch 13 kilometers.
The first crew—American Bill Shepherd and Russians Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko—left Earth on October 31,2000. About 48 hours later, they opened the doors to the space station, holding hands in a sign of unity.
The three-man crew spent most of their time trying to get the equipment to work; heat from some of the devices made the living space too warm. Installing(安装) machines and making repairs took hours, compared to minutes on the ground, Krikalev remembered. "Each day seemed to have its own set of challenges," Shepherd said.
The space station did not come close to hitting any space objects during their nearly five months up there, Shepherd said, and the station has held up relatively well. Today NASA's top concern is the growing threat from space junk. This year, the space station has had to avoid objects three times. NASA and its partners say the space station easily has several years of usefulness left. Russia's Mir station operated for 15 years in the late 1980s and 1990s. America's 1970s Skylab spent much less time in space.
Shepherd said that the past 20 years of international experience and cooperation can help with enormous projects, like possibly sending humans to the planet Mars. "If you look at the space station program today, it's a blueprint on how to do it," Shepherd said.
12. Which of the following can best describe the ISS twenty years ago
A. Small but highly used. B. Large but impractical.
C. Wet and a little cold. D. Crowded and uncomfortable.
13. What did the first crew mainly do at the ISS
A. They operated the devices. B. They cleaned space junk.
C. They enlarged the space. D. They repaired the equipment.
14. What does NASA worry most about the ISS today？
A. There being more equipment failure.
B. There being doubts about its usefulness.
C. The risk of being struck by other objects.
D. The changes of the orbit three times a year.
15. What can be the best title for the text？
A. The contribution of the ISS
B. The development of the ISS
C. The problems troubling the ISS
D. The uncertain future awaiting the ISS

The future in sci-fi movies seems so close, yet so far away. Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. China started testing 5G mobile networks in its several cities in 2019. So what is 5G It's the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. (1)
5G's benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity. (2) People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That's how fast 5G will be.

Driverless cars must be able to react immediately to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds. (4) It will allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors' movements.
So what about 5G's connectivity (5) Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns the lights on when you open your front door.

37. 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。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain for almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and saw the best miracle in my life.
I was making lunch for the family in the kitchen when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort, trying to be as still as possible.
Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that unusual way toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping his hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill the water he carried. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches slapped(拍) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed (高声喊) at him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close.
But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy's hands.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house.

37.【答案】 When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and began to cup both hands. He knelt down, letting the drip slowly fill up his "cup". And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears. "Mom. I'm not wasting."
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drop...and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride. I can't believe it was raining!
