On the cards, children often write, “Thanks, Mom”, “To the best mother in the world” and so on. Then where did the idea for the holiday come from We should thank Miss Anna Marie Jarvis. It is she who brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia.Anna’s mother was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues (问题). Her mother died on May 9th, 1905. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. In 1907, a church service was held on her mother’s death anniversary. Anna’s love for her mother moved other people. Besides, she wrote letters to important persons of the country suggesting a public holiday to honor all mothers. In 1914, the United States Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be appointed as Mother’s Day. Finally, the decision was announced by President Wilson.

Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.
His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.
Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50.
“I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.”
24. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2
A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young
C. He had serious health problems in his childhood. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.
25. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again
A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife.
C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness.
26. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body
A. He took the same workout schedule. B. He turned to the doctors for advice.
C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent over six hours training every day.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout
C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】

Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants-which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)- got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
28. What was the special part of the concert
A. It made the world fall in horror. B. It gave plants chances to enjoy music.
C. Its hall could only hold 2,292 seats. D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
29. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Eugeno Ampudia. B. Puccini. C. The UceLi Quartet. D. La Caixa.
30. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We did everything in a wrong way.
B. The plants should have the equal rights:
C. The healthcare workers were more important.
D. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
31. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Animals and Plants. D. Art Around the World.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴塞罗那歌剧院举行了一场特别的音乐会，观众是植物。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.(剧院的第一场音乐会拒绝了通常的人群，而是用植物把整个屋子装点得满满的。是的,这是正确的。Liceu剧院的2292个座位都被绿叶植物占据了。)”可知，这场音乐会的独特之处在于它的观众是植物，也就是它给了植物欣赏音乐的机会。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website.(这个想法是由概念艺术家Eugeno Ampudia提出的，并在剧院的网站上进行了现场直播。)”可知，这个想法是由Eugeno Ampudia提出的。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability(持续性).( Ampudia希望他的想法和工作能激发人们更深入地思考他们与自然的关系以及可持续性的概念。)”以及“he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”(他分享道。“我们生活的世界和90天前不一样了，这意味着我们必须反思我们所做的一切。”)”可知，他希望人们深入思考他们与自然的关系以及可持续发展的概念，并且必须反思自己所做的事情，也就意味着他认为人们以前在这个方面做得不好。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary(当代的)art collection.(这场动人的音乐会延续了Liceu的使命，创造了音乐和视觉艺术之间的对话。由Ampudia拍摄的表演图片和视频现在将成为La Caixa当代艺术收藏的一部分。)”可推断，这是和艺术相关的文章，能在杂志上的艺术版块上找到。故选D。
D
It’s easier than ever to buy things online. It’s so easy that Ryan Cassata sometimes does it in his sleep. Casata, a 24-year-old singer, recently was informed by Amazon that a package had been shipped to his apartment, but he didn’t remember buying anything. When he logged onto his account and saw that some socks were on the way, he remembered: A few nights back, he had woken up in the middle of the night to browse-and apparently shop-on Amazon.
Casata shops when he’s awake, too, buying little gadgets like an onion chopper, discounted gums, and decorations like a Himalayan salt lamp. The other day, he almost bought a pizza pool float, until he remembered that he doesn’t have a pool.
Thanks to a perfect storm of factors, Americans are accumulating a lot of stuff. Now, the Internet has made it possible for us to shop from anywhere, anytime. And because of the globalization of manufacturing, everything is cheaper than ever before — so cheap that we add them to our online shopping carts without a second thought. Shopping online also feels good. Humans get a dopamine hit (多巴胺刺激) from buying stuff, according to research, and then also experience delayed pleasure when the order arrives a few days later, which may make it more physiologically rewarding than shopping in stores.
Justine Montoya, a caregiver in Los Angeles, who buys all sorts of stuff online, said, “In the past few months alone, I bought an S18 smart watch from that I’ll probably never use, a second Kindle because it was on sale and I am worried my first Kindle is going to die soon, and a pair of wireless ear buds that I had hoped would allow me to charge my iPhone and listen to music at the same time, but that instead just fall out of my ears whenever I put them on. I also bought, on Amazon, a book about hiking, only to find the exact same book in a box of my stuff in my parents’ basement.”
32. What do we know about Casata when he was informed of a package
A. He went to sleep. B. He forgot buying anything.
C. He waited for it until midnight. D. He was happy to receive the socks.
33. Why didn’t Casata buy a pizza pool float
A. He already had one. B. It was not discounted.
C. It was poorly decorated. D. He doesn’t have a pool at all.
34. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Factors contributing to overbuying online.
B. Conveniences brought by online shopping.
C. Reasons explaining why everything is cheap online.
D. Good feelings one can get through online shopping.
35. What message does the author try to convey by giving the example of Justine Montoya
A. The quality of products is a major public concern.
B. We have a wide choice of products in online stores.
C. People accumulate useless stuff by shopping online.
D. Today people depend on the Internet to do shopping.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出当前网络购物越来越盛行的现象。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Casata, a 24-year-old singer, recently was informed by Amazon that a package had been shipped to his apartment, but he didn’t remember buying anything.(Casata，一位24岁的歌手，最近得到Amazon通知有一个包裹已经送到他的公寓，但他想不起买过什么东西)”可知， Casata收到快递通知时想不起自己买了什么东西。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The other day, he almost bought a pizza pool float, until he remembered that he doesn’t have a pool.(还有一天，他差点就买了一个披萨状的泳池漂浮垫，直到他想起自己根本没有泳池)”可知，Casata最后没买漂浮垫的原因是想起了自家没有泳池。故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Now, the Internet has made it possible for us to shop from anywhere, anytime. And because of the globalization of manufacturing, everything is cheaper than ever before(现在，网络让我们可以在任何时间买到任何地方的东西。而且因为制造业全球化，一切都比以前更便宜了)”以及“Shopping online also feels good.(网上购物还会让人感觉良好)”可知，第三段主要说明现在的人们热衷于网购的原因。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the past few months alone, I bought an S18 smart watch from wish com that I’ll probably never use, a second Kindle because it was on sale and I am worried my first Kindle is going to die soon, and a pair of wireless ear buds that I had hoped would allow me to charge my iPhone and listen to music at the same time, but that instead just fall out of my ears whenever I put them on. I also bought, on Amazon, a book about hiking, only to find the exact same book in a box of my stuff in my parents’ basement.(仅在过去的几个月里，我就从买了一块S18智能手表，我可能永远也不会用，第二件是Kindle，因为它正在打折，我担心我的第一个Kindle很快就会坏掉，还有一对无线耳塞，我原本希望它能让我在给iPhone充电的同时听音乐，但每次我戴上它的时候，它就会从我的耳朵里掉出来。我还说嗯，在亚马逊上，一本关于远足的书，却在我父母地下室的一盒东西里找到了完全相同的书)”可知，Justine Montoya买过诸如，可能根本用不上的an S18 smart watch、a second kindle、为了给手机充电时听歌但经常掉的a pair of wireless ear buds、重复书籍a book about hiking，作者通过他的事例显然想传达，人们通过网购积攒了很多没用的东西，与C选项说法相符。故选C项。

(坚持写日记有益于你的心理健康，并且有助于你成为一个更好的作家)”提到坚持写日记的好处，下文每段中提到的“Give your diary a special purpose.(给你的日记一个特殊的目的。)”，“Write about thoughts and feelings, not just events.(写下你的想法和感受，而不仅仅是事件。)”和“Use your diary for creative writing.(用你的日记进行创造性的写作。)”记日记的一些技巧，由此可知，空处引起下文，F项“要使日记成为你日常生活中有趣的一部分，你可以采取以下的技巧。”符合，故选F。
【37题详解】
此处是本段中心句，下文“Many people find it helpful to plan a right time to write each day. It’s good to write before bed or in the morning.(许多人发现每天计划一个合适的时间写作是很有帮助的。睡前或早上写作是好的。)”可知，本段主要介绍了要安排写作时间。A项“安排写作时间。”能概括本段，故选A。

上文“You may devote your diary to a specific purpose.(你可以把你日记用于一个特定的目的)”提到把你的日记用于一个特定的目的，空处应该承接上文，对此进行具体描述，G项“例如，你可以尝试写一本关于自然的日记，在日记中你可以写关于植物、动物、天气或其他自然事物的内容。”举例子说明了要把你的日记用于一个特定的目的，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据本段中心句“Write about thoughts and feelings, not just events.(写下你的想法和感受，而不仅仅是事件)”可知，本段主要介绍要在日记中写下对某个事件的想法和感受，上文“For example, your favorite band will come to your city(例如，你最喜欢的乐队会来到你的城市)”举例子描述一个事件，空处应该承接上文，指出如何在日记中写下自己对这个事件的感受，D项“你可以在他们走上舞台之前描述一下你的期望。”符合本段主题，故选D。
【40题详解】
下文“Indeed, a lot of diary writing is just like that. (事实上，很多日记就是这样写的。)”可知，空处应该描述事实上很多人是如何写日记的，C项“大多数人认为日记是个人的故事。”符合，表明大多数的日记没有创造性，此处和下文“Don’t be afraid, however, to use your diary to write more creatively. (然而，不要害怕，用你的日记来写得更有创造性。)”是转折关系，故选C。

【60题详解】

【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：墙内北半圆，象征天，南半圆，象征地，体现了中国古代“天圆地方”的思想。此处用形容词性物主代词its作定语修饰名词短语northern part，指代“The Temple of Heaven Park”，首字母大写。故填Its。
【63题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：墙内北半圆，象征天，南半圆，象征地，体现了中国古代“天圆地方”的思想。本句已有谓语is symbolizing且无连词，其它动词用非谓语形式，此处表示自然而然地体现了中国古代“天圆地方”的思想，用现在分词（doing）作结果状语表自然而然的结果。故填reflecting。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：主要建筑位于内部中轴线的南端和北端。固定搭配at ends of …（在……的末端），用介词at。故填at。
【65题详解】

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps (食品券).
Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.
So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历) As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come with the idea to help a stranger.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
Paragraph 1:
When the woman read the card, she began to cry.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After we embraced, I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my mind again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When the woman read the card, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.” I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it be OK to give you a hug ”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my mind again. “You Matter.” A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.

Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.
His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.

Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants-which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)- got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
28. What was the special part of the concert
A. It made the world fall in horror. B. It gave plants chances to enjoy music.
C. Its hall could only hold 2,292 seats. D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
29. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Eugeno Ampudia. B. Puccini. C. The UceLi Quartet. D. La Caixa.
30 Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We did everything in a wrong way.
B. The plants should have the equal rights:
C. The healthcare workers were more important.
D. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
31. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Animals and Plants. D. Art Around the World.

It’s easier than ever to buy things online. It’s so easy that Ryan Cassata sometimes does it in his sleep. Casata, a 24-year-old singer, recently was informed by Amazon that a package had been shipped to his apartment, but he didn’t remember buying anything. When he logged onto his account and saw that some socks were on the way, he remembered: A few nights back, he had woken up in the middle of the night to browse-and apparently shop-on Amazon.
Casata shops when he’s awake, too, buying little gadgets like an onion chopper, discounted gums, and decorations like a Himalayan salt lamp. The other day, he almost bought a pizza pool float, until he remembered that he doesn’t have a pool.
Thanks to a perfect storm of factors, Americans are accumulating a lot of stuff. Now, the Internet has made it possible for us to shop from anywhere, anytime. And because of the globalization of manufacturing, everything is cheaper than ever before — so cheap that we add them to our online shopping carts without a second thought. Shopping online also feels good. Humans get a dopamine hit (多巴胺刺激) from buying stuff, according to research, and then also experience delayed pleasure when the order arrives a few days later, which may make it more physiologically rewarding than shopping in stores.
Justine Montoya, a caregiver in Los Angeles, who buys all sorts of stuff online, said, “In the past few months alone, I bought an S18 smart watch from that I’ll probably never use, a second Kindle because it was on sale and I am worried my first Kindle is going to die soon, and a pair of wireless ear buds that I had hoped would allow me to charge my iPhone and listen to music at the same time, but that instead just fall out of my ears whenever I put them on. I also bought, on Amazon, a book about hiking, only to find the exact same book in a box of my stuff in my parents’ basement.”
32. What do we know about Casata when he was informed of a package
A. He went to sleep. B. He forgot buying anything.
C. He waited for it until midnight. D. He was happy to receive the socks.
33. Why didn’t Casata buy a pizza pool float
A. He already had one. B. It was not discounted.
C. It was poorly decorated. D. He doesn’t have a pool at all.
34. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Factors contributing to overbuying online.
B. Conveniences brought by online shopping.
C. Reasons explaining why everything is cheap online.
D Good feelings one can get through online shopping.
35. What message does the author try to convey by giving the example of Justine Montoya
A. The quality of products is a major public concern.
B. We have a wide choice of products in online stores.
C. People accumulate useless stuff by shopping online.
D. Today people depend on the Internet to do shopping.

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps (食品券).
Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.
So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历) As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come with the idea to help a stranger.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
Paragraph 1:
When the woman read the card, she began to cry.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After we embraced, I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my mind again.
