Welcome to Rainbow School Clubs, Kent’s funniest, safest before & after school clubs, summer clubs for 4-to-11-year olds.
The play environment allows the children to be offered a selection of structured activities and play opportunities which take place both in and outdoors, weather permitting, e.g. art & craft, board games, construction activities, role play, clay modeling, home corner, pool table, kwik-cricket, ball games and much more.
Qualified and experienced police check (无犯罪记录) workers understand the importance of play and how this impacts on the individual development needs of children.Workers receive ongoing training to ensure the quality of care is paramount (最高的). All clubs are registered with Ofsted (where legally required to do so), and inspected in accordance with the law & guidance surrounding the care of children in a play environment. Parents/Carers are issued with terms and conditions upon registration. A comprehensive list of policies which the club operates by is available at the clubs.

When I was a little girl, growing up in Iowa, my favorite thing to do was read — same as today. So, when I thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I figured I’d be a librarian. Our town librarian, Mrs. Tonne, was really important to me becoming me. The library had a two-book limit, but she knew I’d blow through those in just a few days, so she always let me check out a big stack. And when I was in fourth grade, our school librarian, Mrs. Ketelsen, sent some poems I’d written about dinosaurs to Highlights magazine. My first published writing!
At the University of Iowa, majoring in journalism, I quickly learned that I did not want to be a newspaper reporter. I’m shy about interviewing people, which amuses almost everyone who knows me and thinks I’m outgoing. (I am, but only with people I know!) So I was thrilled when I was selected for a summer internship (实习) at Reader’s Digest.
Ten years after that, I came back to RD to work as an editor. I’ve worked at other magazines too, but I’ve spent most of my career here, reading magazines, newspapers, websites, and books for stories we could rewrite; writing articles; even choosing jokes. This issue seems like the perfect one to introduce myself to you all.
“The Tractor War” (page 92) takes me home to the Midwest. “Something to Sneeze At” (page 47) reminds me of all the sneezing I did when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic (过敏的) to grasses and trees. “Pet Besties” (page 58) makes me think about my cats, brothers Reggie and Smokey, who are sitting together at the window as I write. I relate to lots of our stories this month, and I hope you do too. Enjoy!
4．What did Mrs. Tonne and Mrs Ketelsen have in common
A．They were inspiring and generous town librarians.
B．They allowed the author to check out more books.
C．They were key to the author’s career development.
D．They published the author’s writing in a magazine.
5．Why didn’t the author want to be a newspaper reporter
A．She is amusing to her colleagues.
B．She is out-going with her friends.
C．She is thrilled about her internship.
D．She is shy about questioning people.
6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．How the stories this month relate to the author.
B．What the author was allergic to in New York.
C．What the author’s home is like in Midwest.
D．How close the author’s pets are to her.
7．What is the text
A．A diary entry. B．An editor’s note.
C．A book review. D．An academic essay.
C
People who walk briskly (迅速地) for two and a half hours a week have a 25 percent lower risk of depression, according to a study. Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health. Their paper, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.
Dr Matt Pearce, first author on the paper, said, “The key message of the paper is that risk of depression is substantially lower for individuals who are physically active, and that most of these lower benefits occur at levels below the current health recommendations. Physical activity should therefore be encouraged to improve mental health even in inactive individuals who struggle to reach current recommendations.”
The research combined data from 15 earlier studies, with 191,130 participants, all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity. Since the study was observational in nature, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The researchers found “only minor additional benefits” to mental health when people were physically active beyond the recommended levels. Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said, “There are two key features of this relationship: firstly, that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount”. “Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference. Secondly, that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity.”
The researchers said there were likely to be multiple reasons for their findings, including exercise activating certain networks in the brain and body, releasing feel good hormones called endorphins (内啡肽). Besides, people who are physically active usually sleep better, a key component of protecting your mental health. It might also be that improvements to individuals’ body image from being more active, and increases in social interaction during activity played a role. Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood, with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.
8．What did the researchers from Cambridge University discover
A．Physical activity can reduce depression.
B．Brisk walking should be recommended.
C．Doing exercise can boost overall health.
D．Moderation is the key in physical activity.
9．How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A．By repeating 15 earlier experiments.
B．By analyzing data from 15 previous studies.
C．By proving the cause-and-effect relationship.
D．By collecting data from 191,130 participants.
10．Which of the following statements would Professor James Woodcock agree with
A．A small amount of physical activity can work wonders.
B．Extra physical activity might do harm to people’s health.
C．It is highly recommended to take high volumes of exercise.
D．A 10-minute workout every day brings the biggest difference.
11．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Endorphins activate certain parts in the brain.
B．Green spaces are helpful in lifting one’s spirits.
C．Stable mental health can improve sleep quality.
D．Improved body image increases social interaction.
D
Who needs friends According to most psychologists (心理学家), we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects (方面) of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security (安全感). One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.
Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.
But is friendship equally important to women and men According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.
Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.
12．What did Rebecca think about friendship
A．Families are reliable forever.
B．Her friend means more to her than her husband
C．One needn’t have too many friends.
D．Friends are as important as families.
13．Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because .
A．they are encouraged by their partners.
B．they are not fairly treated by their partners
C．they don’t get what they need from their partners.
D．they think their friends are more romantic.
14．What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships
A．Women often do things together.
B．Women often talk about business with friends.
C．Men seldom talk about their feelings.
D．Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
15．When a friendship ends, some women may .
A．feel as upset as when a marriage ends.
B．share feelings with their partners.
C．treat their partners as friends.
D．turn to their husband for comfort.
七选五（满分12.5分，共5题，2.5分每题）
Many teachers or courses now assign a participation grade to students. Participating in class especially speaking up can not only improve your grade but also show your teacher that you are a good student. 16 . Your teacher will likely approve of the effort you are putting in. Here are some tips on speaking up in class.
Relax
If you’re a bundle of nerves, you may find it hard to speak up. Take a few deep breaths before you raise your hand to speak. Remind yourself that you are prepared and that you have something important to say or ask. 17 . More likely than not, other students will think you are brave and smart for participating.
Speak clearly
When you have something to say, speak as clearly and concisely as possible. Don’t mumble or look at the floor while you are talking. 18 . Don’t be cocky or condescending, just be confident.
Ask questions
If something is confusing to you, ask about it. This pertains to questions you may have written down while doing your homework as well as to material that is new to that day’s class. Other students are likely wondering the same thing you are. 19
Give your opinion
Don’t be afraid to respectfully disagree with a student, the author of what you’ve read, or even your teacher. Don’t insult anyone, even in a debate, but don’t feel like to have to agree with everyone either.
20
Don’t try to answer every question or give an opinion on every topic. At the same time, don’t think that answering one question the entire semester or year is going to cut it. Aim to speak up once or twice per class session. However, don’t just speak to speak. Make sure you have something relevant to say.
A．Find a balance
B．Answer questions politely
C．Address the teacher (or student) directly
D．Sure, all eyes may be on you, but only for a minute or two
E．And the teacher will be glad to take a few minutes to clarify an issue
F．Speaking up shows you care about the class and are interested in the material
G．Being respectful of others’ opinions will make it easy for you to participate in class

I wasn’t having a stroke(中风) at all. I had completely worn out my favorite pair of shoes. The soles(鞋底) of both shoes were split in two! I had 30 all the possibilities to figure out what was causing my clumsiness. It never occurred to me to check my soles.

三、语法填空（满分15分，共10题，1.5分每题）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The college application process can seem intimidating (令人紧张不安的), especially 36 students don’t have parents or siblings (兄弟姐妹) who have already been through it and can offer advice.
Since there are so many steps, such as writing an essay and obtaining letters of recommendation, experts say a good way for students 37 (get) started is to create a to-do list during their junior year of high school.
“Once you can see the number of tasks and schedules visually (形象化地), it 38 (perfect) simplifies a lot of things,” says Christine Chu, a college admission counselor.” It will take away a lot of 39 (anxious).”
A common piece of advice offered by admission consultants and college officials 40 (be) to tour a campus. Visiting a college can help students get a sense of the culture and community ahead. While it’s not part of the formal application process, exploring a college can help students determine which schools to apply 41 .
Such visits, Chu says, offer 42 look at the life of students living and 43 (learn) on those campuses. But in the absence of the opportunity to visit--due to cost restrictions or travel limitations prompted by coronavirus-related safety concerns --students should consider virtual visits, which have appeared as a popular option for applications for a period of social distance 44 (drive) by COVID-19.
While virtual tours may offer 45 (few) opportunity to make a personal connection, students should still make an attempt to do so.

五、读后续写（满分25分，共1题）
47．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。
By December 2007, my husband had been out of work for six months. Of our six children, the eldest one Jack was 19 and usually pretty handy(手巧的) with electronics. Dad had told him, “I wouldn’t open that DVD player if I were you.” Well, Jack wasn’t Dad, he did open it out of curiosity and as a result, it quit working. A new DVD player cost $250 and it wasn’t on our list to buy, since car repairs would need a large amount of money and daily expenses were also wanting money.
The next day, our neighbor came to our house. When she saw the broken DVD player, she said, “Your children wouldn’t be happy without the DVD player in the coming Christmas holiday.” I just shook my head as I told her about our financial situation.
However, I determined to make our upcoming Christmas happy with cheap things — parades, community fun days, baking cookies, and making candy and homemade gift baskets. Perhaps those things weren’t as exciting as filling the tree with gifts, but hopefully my children would learn that family togetherness and traditions are more important than gifts.
One evening after dinner, I was standing in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. I went to answer the door but found no one there. I hate it when those bad neighbor kids “ring and run”. I decided to find them this time! Quietly, I headed out to the sidewalk to find the bad kid and give him/her a good lesson.
Heading toward the mailbox, I heard someone near the house and called out, “OK, you may think it’s funny to ring the doorbell and run, but I don’t!” Then I saw movement. Someone moved behind my car, probably thinking he/she could go quickly around the back of the car and be home free. I stood at the end of the driveway. “Come out,” I said, in my biggest, scary Mom voice. “I can see you there!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
（1）A disguised but familiar female voice replied, “Hey lady, go and check your door!”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
（2）Surprisingly, inside the red envelope was a $250 gift card for a department store.

8．A 9．B 10．A 11．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家们一项新的研究发现，即体育活动，如快步走，能有效抑制抑郁。即便每周未达到推荐运动量，少量的体育运动也是大有助益的。
8．细节理解题。由第一段的“Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health. Their paper, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.(剑桥大学的研究人员发现，符合政府指导方针的体育活动也与更好的心理健康有关。他们发表在《美国医学会精神病学》上的论文发现，即使是那些只摄入了推荐量一半的人，患抑郁症的风险也比什么都不做的人低18%。)”可知，剑桥大学的研究人员发现体育活动可以减少抑郁。故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“The research combined data from 15 earlier studies, with 191,130 participants, all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity. Since the study was observational in nature, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.(该研究结合了15项早期研究的数据，涉及191130名参与者，所有研究都着眼于抑郁和体育活动之间的关系。由于这项研究本质上是观察性的，它不能证明因果关系。)”可知，研究人员是通过分析之前15项研究的数据得出这个结论的。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段“Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said, “There are two key features of this relationship: firstly, that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount”. “Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference. Secondly, that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity.”(该论文的资深作者James Woodcock教授说:“这种关系有两个关键特征：首先，在将不运动和少量运动的人进行比较时，可以看到抑郁症风险的最大差异。”“即使每天只睡10分钟也会有很大的不同。其次，做大量运动似乎没有什么额外的好处。”)”可知，James Woodcock教授会同意的说法是少量的体育活动可以创造奇迹。故选A。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood, with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.(走到绿色空间是另一个可能改善情绪的因素，许多研究将使用绿色空间与降低抑郁风险联系起来。)”可知，到户外绿地去有助于我们改善情绪，故选B。
12．B 13．C 14．C 15．A
【分析】本文是议论文。文章论述了朋友在我们生活中的重要性以及男性和女性对待友谊的态度的不同。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One woman named Rebecca… told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend. ”如果让Rebecca在丈夫和朋友之间做出选择，她会选择朋友。由此可知，在Rebecca看来，认为朋友对于她来说比丈夫重要。故选B。
13．
推理判断题。文章第三段中提到“If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others. （如果情侣们不做出一些改变，他们要么厌倦对方而分手，要么继续在一起，而寻求与他人的友谊。）”。由此可以推断，一些夫妻在他们的关系之外寻找朋友，是因为他们没有从伴侣那里得到他们需要的友情。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段中“women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed.…Men share time and activities …, but they don’t often share their feelings.（女性比男性更有可能拥有亲密的朋友。她采访过的一位女性表示：‘你会告诉朋友一些你永远不会告诉伴侣的事情。’……男人会分享时间和活动，……但他们很少分享自己的感受）”可知，男性与女性的友情的区别在于男性不会像女性那样和朋友分享他们的情感。故选C。
15．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage. （即使是婚姻非常幸福的女人，如果没有一个亲密的朋友，也可能会变得非常不幸福，甚至会发现一段亲密的友谊的破裂和婚姻的结束一样痛苦）” 可知，当一段亲密的友谊结束时，有些女性会感觉就像婚姻结束一样难过。故选A。
16．F 17．D 18．C 19．E 20．A
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一些在课堂上发言的技巧。
16．根据前文“Participating in class especially speaking up can not only improve your grade but also show your teacher that you are a good student.(参与课堂，特别是发言，不仅可以提高你的成绩，还可以向你的老师展示你是一个好学生)”以及后文“Your teacher will likely approve of the effort you are putting in.(你的老师很可能会认可你所付出的努力)”可知，空处是一个过渡句，由前文讲在课堂发言的好处，过渡到老师的看法，所以F项“Speaking up shows you care about the class and are interested in the material(大声说出来表明你关心这门课，对材料感兴趣)”符合文意。故选F项。
17．根据本段小标题“Relax(放松)”以及后文“More likely than not, other students will think you are brave and smart for participating.(更有可能的是，其他学生会认为你的参与是勇敢和聪明的)”可知，推知空处应是其他同学另一种做法，和后文比较，所以D项“Sure, all eyes may be on you, but only for a minute or two(当然，所有人的目光都在你身上，但只有一两分钟)”符合文意，本句也点出紧张的原因，和小标题相呼应。故选D项。
18．根据前文“When you have something to say, speak as clearly and concisely as possible. Don’t mumble or look at the floor while you are talking.(当你有话要说的时候，尽量说得清楚简洁。说话时不要喃喃自语或看着地板)”和下文“Don’t be cocky or condescending, just be confident.(不要骄傲或居高临下，要自信)”推知，空处也是发言时需要注意的地方，所以C项“Address the teacher (or student) directly(直接称呼老师(或学生))”，也是需要注意的点，符合文意。故选C项。
19．分空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If something is confusing to you, ask about it. This pertains to questions you may have written down while doing your homework as well as to material that is new to that day’s class. Other students are likely wondering the same thing you are.(如果有什么事情让你感到困惑，就去问问。这既适用于你在做作业时写下的问题，也适用于当天课堂上的新内容。其他学生可能也在想和你一样的事情)”可知，前文是在讲问老师问题，由此推知，空处陈述老师对这种情况的反应。所以E项“And the teacher will be glad to take a few minutes to clarify an issue.(老师很乐意花几分钟时间澄清问题)”符合文意。故选E项。
20．分析设空可知，空处是本段小标题，根据后文“Don’t try to answer every question or give an opinion on every topic. At the same time, don’t think that answering one question the entire semester or year is going to cut it. Aim to speak up once or twice per class session. However, don’t just speak to speak. Make sure you have something relevant to say.(不要试图回答每个问题或对每个话题都发表意见。与此同时，不要认为回答一个问题就能解决整个学期或一年的问题。力争每节课发言一到两次。然而，不要只是为了发言而发言。而是确保你有相关的内容要说)”可知，本段主要是说在总是发言和不发言间要找到平衡点，所以A项“Find a balance(找到平衡)”符合文意。故选A项。

When I was a little girl, growing up in Iowa, my favorite thing to do was read — same as today. So, when I thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I figured I’d be a librarian. Our town librarian, Mrs. Tonne, was really important to me becoming me. The library had a two-book limit, but she knew I’d blow through those in just a few days, so she always let me check out a big stack. And when I was in fourth grade, our school librarian, Mrs. Ketelsen, sent some poems I’d written about dinosaurs to Highlights magazine. My first published writing!
At the University of Iowa, majoring in journalism, I quickly learned that I did not want to be a newspaper reporter. I’m shy about interviewing people, which amuses almost everyone who knows me and thinks I’m outgoing. (I am, but only with people I know!) So I was thrilled when I was selected for a summer internship (实习) at Reader’s Digest.
Ten years after that, I came back to RD to work as an editor. I’ve worked at other magazines too, but I’ve spent most of my career here, reading magazines, newspapers, websites, and books for stories we could rewrite; writing articles; even choosing jokes. This issue seems like the perfect one to introduce myself to you all.
“The Tractor War” (page 92) takes me home to the Midwest. “Something to Sneeze At” (page 47) reminds me of all the sneezing I did when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic (过敏的) to grasses and trees. “Pet Besties” (page 58) makes me think about my cats, brothers Reggie and Smokey, who are sitting together at the window as I write. I relate to lots of our stories this month, and I hope you do too. Enjoy!

D．She is shy about questioning people.

A．How the stories this month relate to the author.
B．What the author was allergic to in New York.

People who walk briskly (迅速地) for two and a half hours a week have a 25 percent lower risk of depression, according to a study. Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health. Their paper, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.
Dr Matt Pearce, first author on the paper, said, “The key message of the paper is that risk of depression is substantially lower for individuals who are physically active, and that most of these lower benefits occur at levels below the current health recommendations. Physical activity should therefore be encouraged to improve mental health even in inactive individuals who struggle to reach current recommendations.”
The research combined data from 15 earlier studies, with 191,130 participants, all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity. Since the study was observational in nature, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The researchers found “only minor additional benefits” to mental health when people were physically active beyond the recommended levels. Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said, “There are two key features of this relationship: firstly, that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount”. “Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference. Secondly, that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity.”
The researchers said there were likely to be multiple reasons for their findings, including exercise activating certain networks in the brain and body, releasing feel good hormones called endorphins (内啡肽). Besides, people who are physically active usually sleep better, a key component of protecting your mental health. It might also be that improvements to individuals’ body image from being more active, and increases in social interaction during activity played a role. Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood, with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.
8．What did the researchers from Cambridge University discover
A．Physical activity can reduce depression.
B．Brisk walking should be recommended.
C．Doing exercise can boost overall health.
D．Moderation is the key in physical activity.
9．How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A．By repeating 15 earlier experiments.
B．By analyzing data from 15 previous studies.
C．By proving the cause-and-effect relationship.
D．By collecting data from 191,130 participants.
10．Which of the following statements would Professor James Woodcock agree with
A．A small amount of physical activity can work wonders.
B．Extra physical activity might do harm to people’s health.
C．It is highly recommended to take high volumes of exercise.
D．A 10-minute workout every day brings the biggest difference.
11．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Endorphins activate certain parts in the brain.
B．Green spaces are helpful in lifting one’s spirits.
C．Stable mental health can improve sleep quality.
D．Improved body image increases social interaction.

Who needs friends According to most psychologists (心理学家), we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects (方面) of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security (安全感). One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.
Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.
But is friendship equally important to women and men According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fence or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.
Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.
12．What did Rebecca think about friendship
A．Families are reliable forever.
B．Her friend means more to her than her husband
C．One needn’t have too many friends.
D．Friends are as important as families.
13．Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because .
A．they are encouraged by their partners.
B．they are not fairly treated by their partners
C．they don’t get what they need from their partners.
D．they think their friends are more romantic.
14．What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships
A．Women often do things together.
B．Women often talk about business with friends.
C．Men seldom talk about their feelings.
D．Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
15．When a friendship ends, some women may .
A．feel as upset as when a marriage ends.
B．share feelings with their partners.
C．treat their partners as friends.
D．turn to their husband for comfort.

Many teachers or courses now assign a participation grade to students. Participating in class especially speaking up can not only improve your grade but also show your teacher that you are a good student. 16 . Your teacher will likely approve of the effort you are putting in. Here are some tips on speaking up in class.

If you’re a bundle of nerves, you may find it hard to speak up. Take a few deep breaths before you raise your hand to speak. Remind yourself that you are prepared and that you have something important to say or ask. 17 . More likely than not, other students will think you are brave and smart for participating.
Speak clearly
When you have something to say, speak as clearly and concisely as possible. Don’t mumble or look at the floor while you are talking. 18 . Don’t be cocky or condescending, just be confident.
Ask questions
If something is confusing to you, ask about it. This pertains to questions you may have written down while doing your homework as well as to material that is new to that day’s class. Other students are likely wondering the same thing you are. 19
Give your opinion

20
Don’t try to answer every question or give an opinion on every topic. At the same time, don’t think that answering one question the entire semester or year is going to cut it.

I wasn’t having a stroke(中风) at all. I had completely worn out my favorite pair of shoes. The soles(鞋底) of both shoes were split in two! I had 30 all the possibilities to figure out what was causing my clumsiness. It never occurred to me to check my soles.

The college application process can seem intimidating (令人紧张不安的), especially 36 students don’t have parents or siblings (兄弟姐妹) who have already been through it and can offer advice.

Such visits, Chu says, offer 42 look at the life of students living and 43 (learn) on those campuses. But in the absence of the opportunity to visit--due to cost restrictions or travel limitations prompted by coronavirus-related safety concerns --students should consider virtual visits, which have appeared as a popular option for applications for a period of social distance 44 (drive) by COVID-19.
While virtual tours may offer 45 (few) opportunity to make a personal connection, students should still make an attempt to do so.

五、读后续写（满分25分，共1题）
47．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。
By December 2007, my husband had been out of work for six months. Of our six children, the eldest one Jack was 19 and usually pretty handy(手巧的) with electronics. Dad had told him, “I wouldn’t open that DVD player if I were you.” Well, Jack wasn’t Dad, he did open it out of curiosity and as a result, it quit working. A new DVD player cost $250 and it wasn’t on our list to buy, since car repairs would need a large amount of money and daily expenses were also wanting money.
The next day, our neighbor came to our house. When she saw the broken DVD player, she said, “Your children wouldn’t be happy without the DVD player in the coming Christmas holiday.” I just shook my head as I told her about our financial situation.
However, I determined to make our upcoming Christmas happy with cheap things — parades, community fun days, baking cookies, and making candy and homemade gift baskets. Perhaps those things weren’t as exciting as filling the tree with gifts, but hopefully my children would learn that family togetherness and traditions are more important than gifts.
One evening after dinner, I was standing in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. I went to answer the door but found no one there. I hate it when those bad neighbor kids “ring and run”. I decided to find them this time! Quietly, I headed out to the sidewalk to find the bad kid and give him/her a good lesson.
Heading toward the mailbox, I heard someone near the house and called out, “OK, you may think it’s funny to ring the doorbell and run, but I don’t!” Then I saw movement. Someone moved behind my car, probably thinking he/she could go quickly around the back of the car and be home free. I stood at the end of the driveway. “Come out,” I said, in my biggest, scary Mom voice. “I can see you there!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
（1）A disguised but familiar female voice replied, “Hey lady, go and check your door!”

（2）Surprisingly, inside the red envelope was a $250 gift card for a department store.

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章一则Rainbow School Clubs的广告，介绍了该课后俱乐部的多种优势。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Welcome to Rainbow School Clubs, Kent’s funniest, safest before & after school clubs, summer clubs for 4-to-11-year olds.(欢迎来到 Rainbow School Clubs，肯特最有趣、最安全的校前和校后俱乐部，4至11岁儿童的夏季俱乐部)”和第三段的“You will be required to complete registration forms for your child prior to joining.(您需要在加入之前为您的孩子填写登记表)”推知，这则广告的目标人群是急需给孩子找课后照看的家长。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“You will be required to complete registration forms for your child prior to joining.(您需要在加入之前为您的孩子填写登记表)”可知，加入Rainbow School Clubs的要求是加入之前父母需要填写注册表格。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“All pick-ups done using our own transport—taxis are not used.(所有的接送都用我们自己的交通工具——出租车不包括在内)”可知，出租车接送不包括在俱乐部的服务内。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文是《读者文摘》杂志副主编在某一期“致读者”栏目中写给读者的一封信。信中回忆了自己与杂志编辑工作的情缘，同时对本期内容作了亲切深情的的介绍以及自己的希望。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段的“So, when I thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I figured I’d be a librarian. Our town librarian, Mrs. Tonne, was really important to me becoming me. The library had a two-book limit, but she knew I’d blow through those in just a few days, so she always let me check out a big stack. And when I was in fourth grade, our school librarian, Mrs. Ketelsen, sent some poems I’d written about dinosaurs to Highlights magazine. My first published writing!(所以，当我想到我长大后想做什么时，我想我会成为一名图书管理员。我们镇图书管理员托恩夫人对我成为我自己非常重要。图书馆最多只能借两本书，但她知道我几天内就会读完，所以她总是让我借一大叠书。在我上四年级的时候，我们学校的图书管理员，Ketelsen夫人，把我写的一些关于恐龙的诗寄给了《亮点》杂志。我第一次发表作品!)”可知， Mrs. Tonne和Mrs Ketelsen对作者成为编辑给予很多帮助，因此他们对于作者的事业发展是关键的。故选C。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段“At the University of Iowa, majoring in journalism, I quickly learned that I did not want to be a newspaper reporter. I’m shy about interviewing people, which amuses almost everyone who knows me and thinks I’m outgoing.(在爱荷华大学攻读新闻专业时，我很快意识到自己并不想成为一名报社记者。我对面试别人很害羞，这让几乎所有认识我、认为我很外向的人都很好笑)”可知，作者没有成为报社记者是因为她对于问人问题害羞。故选D。
6．主旨大意题。根据第四段““The Tractor War” (page 92) takes me home to the Midwest. “Something to Sneeze (打喷嚏) At” (page 47) reminds me of all the sneezing I did when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic (过敏) to grasses and trees. “Pet Besties” (page 58) makes me think about my cats, brothers Reggie and Smokey, who are sitting together at the window as I write. I relate to lots of our stories this month, and I hope you do too.(《拖拉机战争》(第92页)带我回到中西部的家。《对着打喷嚏的东西》(第47页)让我想起了我搬到纽约后突然对草和树过敏时打喷嚏的情形。《宠物闺蜜》(第58页)让我想起了我的猫，雷吉(Reggie)和斯莫基(Smokey)兄弟，当我写作时，他们正一起坐在窗前。这个月我讲了很多我们的故事，我希望你们也这样做)”可知，作者讲述了这个月的故事和作者的关系。故选A。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Ten years after that, I came back to RD to work as an editor. I’ve worked at other magazines too, but I’ve spent most of my career here, reading magazines, newspapers, websites, and books for stories we could rewrite; writing articles; even choosing jokes. This issue seems like the perfect one to introduce myself to you all.(十年后，我回到RD做编辑。我也在其他杂志工作过，但我职业生涯的大部分时间都在这里度过，阅读杂志、报纸、网站和书籍，寻找我们可以重写的故事；写文章；甚至选择笑话。这个问题似乎是向大家介绍我自己的最佳时机)”以及全文内容可知，本文是《读者文摘》杂志副主编在某一期“致读者”栏目中写给读者的一封信。信中回忆了自己与杂志编辑工作的情缘，同时对本期内容作了亲切深情的的介绍以及自己的希望。由此推知，本文是一个编辑的笔记。故选B。
8．A 9．B 10．A 11．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家们一项新的研究发现，即体育活动，如快步走，能有效抑制抑郁。即便每周未达到推荐运动量，少量的体育运动也是大有助益的。
8．细节理解题。由第一段的“Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health. Their paper, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.(剑桥大学的研究人员发现，符合政府指导方针的体育活动也与更好的心理健康有关。他们发表在《美国医学会精神病学》上的论文发现，即使是那些只摄入了推荐量一半的人，患抑郁症的风险也比什么都不做的人低18%。)”可知，剑桥大学的研究人员发现体育活动可以减少抑郁。故选A。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段“The research combined data from 15 earlier studies, with 191,130 participants, all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity. Since the study was observational in nature, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.(该研究结合了15项早期研究的数据，涉及191130名参与者，所有研究都着眼于抑郁和体育活动之间的关系。由于这项研究本质上是观察性的，它不能证明因果关系。)”可知，研究人员是通过分析之前15项研究的数据得出这个结论的。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段“Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said, “There are two key features of this relationship: firstly, that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount”. “Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference. Secondly, that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity.”(该论文的资深作者James Woodcock教授说:“这种关系有两个关键特征：首先，在将不运动和少量运动的人进行比较时，可以看到抑郁症风险的最大差异。”“即使每天只睡10分钟也会有很大的不同。其次，做大量运动似乎没有什么额外的好处。”)”可知，James Woodcock教授会同意的说法是少量的体育活动可以创造奇迹。故选A。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood, with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.(走到绿色空间是另一个可能改善情绪的因素，许多研究将使用绿色空间与降低抑郁风险联系起来。)”可知，到户外绿地去有助于我们改善情绪，故选B。
12．B 13．C 14．C 15．A
【分析】本文是议论文。文章论述了朋友在我们生活中的重要性以及男性和女性对待友谊的态度的不同。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One woman named Rebecca… told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend. ”如果让Rebecca在丈夫和朋友之间做出选择，她会选择朋友。由此可知，在Rebecca看来，认为朋友对于她来说比丈夫重要。故选B。
13．
推理判断题。文章第三段中提到“If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others. （如果情侣们不做出一些改变，他们要么厌倦对方而分手，要么继续在一起，而寻求与他人的友谊。）”。由此可以推断，一些夫妻在他们的关系之外寻找朋友，是因为他们没有从伴侣那里得到他们需要的友情。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段中“women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed.…Men share time and activities …, but they don’t often share their feelings.（女性比男性更有可能拥有亲密的朋友。她采访过的一位女性表示：‘你会告诉朋友一些你永远不会告诉伴侣的事情。’……男人会分享时间和活动，……但他们很少分享自己的感受）”可知，男性与女性的友情的区别在于男性不会像女性那样和朋友分享他们的情感。故选C。
15．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage. （即使是婚姻非常幸福的女人，如果没有一个亲密的朋友，也可能会变得非常不幸福，甚至会发现一段亲密的友谊的破裂和婚姻的结束一样痛苦）” 可知，当一段亲密的友谊结束时，有些女性会感觉就像婚姻结束一样难过。故选A。
16．F 17．D 18．C 19．E 20．A
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一些在课堂上发言的技巧。
16．根据前文“Participating in class especially speaking up can not only improve your grade but also show your teacher that you are a good student.(参与课堂，特别是发言，不仅可以提高你的成绩，还可以向你的老师展示你是一个好学生)”以及后文“Your teacher will likely approve of the effort you are putting in.(你的老师很可能会认可你所付出的努力)”可知，空处是一个过渡句，由前文讲在课堂发言的好处，过渡到老师的看法，所以F项“Speaking up shows you care about the class and are interested in the material(大声说出来表明你关心这门课，对材料感兴趣)”符合文意。故选F项。
17．根据本段小标题“Relax(放松)”以及后文“More likely than not, other students will think you are brave and smart for participating.(更有可能的是，其他学生会认为你的参与是勇敢和聪明的)”可知，推知空处应是其他同学另一种做法，和后文比较，所以D项“Sure, all eyes may be on you, but only for a minute or two(当然，所有人的目光都在你身上，但只有一两分钟)”符合文意，本句也点出紧张的原因，和小标题相呼应。故选D项。
18．根据前文“When you have something to say, speak as clearly and concisely as possible. Don’t mumble or look at the floor while you are talking.(当你有话要说的时候，尽量说得清楚简洁。说话时不要喃喃自语或看着地板)”和下文“Don’t be cocky or condescending, just be confident.(不要骄傲或居高临下，要自信)”推知，空处也是发言时需要注意的地方，所以C项“Address the teacher (or student) directly(直接称呼老师(或学生))”，也是需要注意的点，符合文意。故选C项。
19．分空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If something is confusing to you, ask about it. This pertains to questions you may have written down while doing your homework as well as to material that is new to that day’s class. Other students are likely wondering the same thing you are.(如果有什么事情让你感到困惑，就去问问。这既适用于你在做作业时写下的问题，也适用于当天课堂上的新内容。其他学生可能也在想和你一样的事情)”可知，前文是在讲问老师问题，由此推知，空处陈述老师对这种情况的反应。所以E项“And the teacher will be glad to take a few minutes to clarify an issue.(老师很乐意花几分钟时间澄清问题)”符合文意。故选E项。
20．分析设空可知，空处是本段小标题，根据后文“Don’t try to answer every question or give an opinion on every topic. At the same time, don’t think that answering one question the entire semester or year is going to cut it. Aim to speak up once or twice per class session. However, don’t just speak to speak. Make sure you have something relevant to say.(不要试图回答每个问题或对每个话题都发表意见。与此同时，不要认为回答一个问题就能解决整个学期或一年的问题。力争每节课发言一到两次。然而，不要只是为了发言而发言。而是确保你有相关的内容要说)”可知，本段主要是说在总是发言和不发言间要找到平衡点，所以A项“Find a balance(找到平衡)”符合文意。故选A项。
21．B 22．D 23．A 24．C 25．B 26．A 27．D 28．C 29．B 30．A 31．C 32．B 33．D 34．A 35．A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了申请海外大学的一些技巧。
36．考查连词。句意：大学申请过程似乎令人生畏，尤其是如果学生的父母或兄弟姐妹没有经历过这一过程并能提供建议的话。分析句子，设空处使用连词连接前后两个句子，根据句意，后一句是前一句的条件，用if。故填if。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于有这么多步骤，比如写论文和获得推荐信，专家说，学生们开始的一个好方法是在高中三年级时创建一个待办事项清单。分析句子，句中is为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处使用不定式结构作后置定语，修饰way。故填to get。
38．考查副词。句意：“一旦你可以直观地看到任务和日程安排的数量，它就完美地简化了很多事情，”大学招生顾问克里斯汀·朱说。分析句子。设空处使用perfect的副词perfectly修饰动词simplify作状语，意为“完美地”。故填perfectly。
39．考查名词。句意：它会消除很多焦虑。分析句子，设空处置于介词of之后，故使用anxious的名词anxiety作宾语，意为“焦虑”。故填anxiety。
40．考查动词。句意：招生顾问和大学官员提供的一个常见建议是参观校园。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。句子的主语为advice，为不可数名词。故填is。
41．考查固定短语。句意：虽然这不是正式申请过程的一部分，但探索一所大学可以帮助学生决定申请哪所学校。apply to为固定短语，意为“申请……（大学）”。故填to。
42．考查冠词。句意：朱说，这样的参观可以让学生了解到这些校园里学生的生活和学习情况。分析句子，此处look为名词，设空处应该使用冠词。此处表示泛指，且该单词以辅音因素开头。故填a。
43．考查非谓语动词。句意同上。learn和逻辑主语students之间为主动关系，应用现在分词learning和上文living并列作后置定语。故填learning。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：但是，由于与冠状病毒相关的安全问题导致的成本限制或旅行限制，学生们没有机会参观，他们应该考虑虚拟参观，这已经成为COVID-19推动的一段时间社交距离申请的热门选择。分析句子，句中have appeared为谓语动词，设空处应该使用非谓语动词。逻辑主语which (virtual visits)与drive之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词作状语，表示被动关系。故填driven。
45．考查形容词的比较级。句意：虽然虚拟参观提供的建立个人联系的机会较少，但学生们仍然应该尝试这样做。分析句子，设空处使用形容词作定语，此处表示虚拟参观与正常实体参观构成比较，故使用few的比较级fewer。故填fewer。

47．One possible version:
A disguised but familiar female voice replied, “Hey lady, go and check your door!” I stopped short — what was up I said, “Just wait for me here! I will be back soon!” Thinking the person might tell the truth, I left the driveway and went to the door. There, I found a red envelope attached to the door. I became curious to know what was inside the red envelope. The person disappeared in the darkness while I took the red envelope inside.
Surprisingly, inside the red envelope was a $250 gift card for a department store. It had a note that said, “This card will explode at the checkout if you purchase a DVD player, so don’t do it.” 250 dollars was exactly the price of a new DVD player. Of course I understood what the person truly meant. The next day, I bought a new DVD player and we had a wonderful Christmas.
