I was picking through coat pockets and madly shaking all my old purses and wallets. I was looking for pennies, quarters — anything that would help me make it to the end of the week. It sure was feeling heavy.
A hopeless girl in her twenties,I was a single parent, with a one-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.
Life consisted of ups and downs. One year, I was having baby showers and taking vacations in the mountains of Tennessee. The next, I was searching around my small, two-bedroom apartment collecting loose change to buy food and gas. Suddenly, I found myself becoming poor, and it was hard.
I’ll never forget the joy of finding one penny during my hunt, then two, then fifteen, and then twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six. Every time I found one, I felt excited. Looking back now, I see that it was somewhat ironic (讽刺的) because I had looked down on pennies at one point in my life.
I sat in my bedroom that night and sorted all the change from my hour-long quest. I smiled and made jokes with my daughter while we packed our pennies. Her brother joyfully bounced up and down in his bouncer. They had no idea how many nights I would cry with my face buried in the pillows, wondering how I would keep a roof over their heads, lights on in the house, and food on the table.
I remember those days like they were yesterday, but I don’t remember them with sadness. I remember them intentionally because I promised myself that if I were ever to escape the pains of poverty, I would never forget the value of a penny.
I’ve kept that promise, too.
24. Why did the author shake her old purses
A. To look for money to pay for their expense.
B. To purchase something for her children.
C. To make money at the end of the week.
D. To put them into her coat pockets.
25. What do we know about the author

C. She was once living well. D. She enjoyed her family life.
26. What is the author’s promise
A. To help others little by little. B. To find great value in little things.
C. To bring happiness to her children. D. To forget the sad days intentionally.
27. What does this text want to convey
A. One penny is the small seed from which fortunes spring（孕育）
B. We should repair the house before it rains.
C. Each family has its own happiness and unhappiness.
D. It’s no use crying over spilt milk.
C
A Spanish project is attempting to 3D print coral reefs to provide habitat for fish and protection for beaches and coastal communities at risk from rising seas and other damage.
Coral reefs are massively decreasing globally, and some scientists say we could lose 70-90% of our reefs due to warming ocean waters. That has all kinds of serious consequences because a quarter of the world’s fish live in and around reefs, reefs are critically important protectors of beach communities threatened by high waves and tides, and they support a massive amount of biodiversity. That led marine biologist Lizzie Fane and her co-founder Alfred Martel, a computer scientist, to start Coastruction, a non-profit organization.
“Even if you start on a small scale ... a square kilometer already, it could have a great impact,” Martel says. “It could really protect a coast, a beach, or an area where there is a community living and they need protection because the sea is rising.”
Being able to 3D print is important, because you match individual sites. Every location is different with different coral species. “It’s like everybody has a different house,” Fane says. “You can take into account habitat requirements of not just the coral but also the fish that live nearby.”
Their current technology can print various shapes. The result can be an amazingly natural-looking man-made rock with plenty of corners for both coral and other fish to attach themselves and make homes.
The Coastruction founders don’t think they can possibly meet the global demand, so their goal is to provide the tools — like the 3D printer — for local people and design the technology to use cheap and locally-available materials to create the artificial coral reefs. No high temperatures or chemical additives are required, and any loose powder or sand material not used in one print will be used in the next. The 3D printer works on-site, so there’s no transport of finished blocks required.
28. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The biodiversity of coral reefs. B. The reduction in coral species.
C. The protection coral reefs provide. D. The loss of global coral reefs.
29. What do Martel’s words imply
A. 3D-printed reefs can hardly save oceans.
B. Small actions can make a lot of difference.
C. Small-scale production of reefs is a drop in the ocean.
D. 3D-printed reefs fail to provide perfect fish habitat.
30. What do we know about the current 3D reef printing
A. It can just print regular-shaped reefs.
B. It can use any material to produce reefs.
C. It can create lifelike reefs. D. It can meet the global demand for reefs.
31. What is one goal of the Coastruction founders
A. Adapting their technology to local conditions.
B. Putting their reefs into mass production.
C. Transporting finished reefs to where they are needed.
D. Adding chemicals to reefs to make them colorful.
D
“I’m not a reader.” It’s a common reply that Julia Torres, a teacher-librarian in Denver Public School, has heard throughout her 16-year career. She’s seen students tear up books, throw them away or check them out only to immediately return them all because they didn’t have confidence in their ability to read.
As a librarian, Torres feels strongly that libraries should be spaces of liberation, places where students can develop a love of reading at any stage. Reading is a skill that everyone can grow to love, but too many negative experiences during a child’s literacy (读写能力) education can result in boredom, lack of interest or even anger. When a student has a poor experience like being shamed for their reading choices, they can begin to associate reading with painful feelings of insecurity, shame and stress.
To prevent reading disorder practices, as Torres notes, librarians first can build an inclusive (内容丰富的) library where classified collections can make it easier for students to find out the books they want and also help identify gaps in the collections. Reevaluating librarians’ role is necessary, which allows students to take control of the library and have a say in what’s purchased for the collection, directly exciting students’ reading interest. Instead of hosting traditional book fairs where students have to pay for books, it is better to open up a True Book Fair, where students are invited to choose books intentionally to their interests without any costs. Librarians are recommended to read what students are reading. Another two important approaches to preventing reading disorder are to take a look at the library policies and redefine what counts as reading. It is necessary to get rid of fines, check-out limits, security gates, and punishment policies. Plus, students are encouraged to listen to audiobooks or read picture books. Find a way to teach important skills like comprehension or critical thinking with the texts that excite and interest students.
32. What does the underlined sentence “I’m not a reader” in Paragraph 1 infer
A. Some students are not interested in reading.
B. Some students have no ability to read books.
C. Some students don’t borrow books from the library.
D. Some students haven’t tried to read for entertainment.
33. What is directly linked with exciting students’ reading interests
A. Getting rid of library rules. B. Reducing charges caused by reading.
C. Librarians’ recommendation. D. Making their own choices
34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about .
A. What leads to students’ difficulty in reading.
B. How to reduce reading disorder as student librarians.
C. How negative reading experiences affect students.
D. Why to decrease reading disorder as student librarians.
35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To draw attention to reading disorder prevention.
B. To offer suggestions to the librarians.
C. To analyze why reading disorder forms.
D. To do a research on reading disorder.

Confidence is at the heart of every successful person and it holds the key to success. Regardless of how knowledgeable you are in your professional field, if you lack confidence your success will be limited. 36 The following are 3 key tricks you may learn to increase your confidence.
Know yourself. Take a long hard look in the mirror and make an honest and accurate assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. 37 as this will increase your confidence. Meanwhile, take an effective approach toward improving your weaknesses. We all have areas in our professional and personal lives that need to be improved. Ignoring them does not make them go away. 38
Dress for success. Whether you like it or not, people make judgments about you based upon how you dress. You only have one chance to make a good first impression. From a confidence perspective, how you dress directly reflects how you feel about yourself. 39 if you are wearing a business suit or sweat pants and a T-shirt. Therefore, be highly aware of your appearance. Dress in a manner that reflects who you are and how you want to be perceived.
40 . You can increase your confidence by seeking out one new challenge at a time. Research shows confident people consistently seek out new challenges. Move on to the next one when one challenge is successfully achieved. Success builds upon itself, therefore, success brings success—all fueled by increased confidence!
A. Steady as you go
B. Put pressure on yourself
C. Continue to build upon your strengths
D. Research shows that you will feel differently about yourself
E. What you wear will unintentionally show your weaknesses to those around you
F. On the contrary, it only holds back your success and keeps your confidence low
G. Actually, confidence isn't what you're born with, but something learned over time

M: Yeah, I went to one a week ago. It was fun.
W: Cool. Well, I’ve got to go now. I haven’t started the essay yet. Have you
M: Yeah, I started it last night. Which topic did you choose
W: Atypical school day in another country. Have you ever written about that topic before I need some ideas.
M: Sorry, no. Why don’t you ask Simone I think she chose that topic and she already finished hers.
W: Good idea.
W: I cried so much during The Lord of the Rings. It was such a stressful movie, but I’d watch it again. Do you like it
M: Yes! I love that movie. It has action and drama. And it tells a great story! When I saw it the first time, I was so confused. I didn’t realize there were two more movies. Have you ever read the books There’s the same number of books.

M: Good to know. I might need to speak to him about supplies.
M: As the world holds its breath, waiting to see if the coronavirus is going to be defeated or if we will experience a second wave, many of us are looking to the future and find how our lives have changed. The virus has caused many people to work from home. If companies decide to continue allowing this, it will ease the burden on public transport. Many train and subway systems in major cities were struggling with the number of daily passengers. With restrictions and social distancing in place on many modes of transport, people have been shifting towards cycling as an alternative way to get around. During June 2020, the UK saw cycling levels rise by 300%. This was pushed by a government policy that allowed people to buy a bike tax-free, allowing savings from 25% up to 39% depending on the cost of the bike. The coronavirus has also seen significant impact on jobs, with over 650,000 people in the UK having lost their roles during lockdown, mainly in the retail and service section. However, other sections, such as technology, were much better as people try to find technical solutions to lockdown, such as video calling. Although it has been a shock, the world has adapted quickly to coronavirus, and many are hoping that these changes are here to stay, highlighting the fact that traditional ways of living and working should remain in the past.

【答案】61. have taken 62. successfully 63. which 64. is 65. resulting
66. cleaner 67. produced 68. at 69. a 70. achievement
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文。中国利用一个巨型装置成功复制了太阳发电的过程，这个装置被称为“人造太阳”。人造太阳能的产生是通过将原子“聚变”在一起来实现的。这个过程会释放热量，但不会形成放射性废料。因此，人造太阳能有可能为未来提供一种更清洁的供电方式，并有助于解决气候变化这一紧迫问题。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意：在人造太阳能领域，中国科学家在过去几年里已经取得了一些令人兴奋的进展。句中有“in the past few years”信息，使用现在完成时，主语是Chinese scientists，助动词使用have。故填have taken。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：他们在中国合肥用一个被称为“人造太阳”的超大设备成功地复制了太阳产生能量的过程。分析句子结构可知，这里使用副词修饰本句的谓语动词have made，表示“成功复制了太阳发电的过程”。故填successfully。
【63题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：他们在中国合肥用一个被称为“人造太阳”的超大设备成功地复制了太阳产生能量的过程。根据句意和句子结构可知，本空所在句子一个是非限制性定语从句，本空处于主语的位置，因此应用which引导定语从句，指代前面的equipment，并在句中作主语。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意：这一过程散发热量，但没有形成放射性废物。根据上下文，这里讲的是人造太阳的工作原理，应用一般现在时，同时，本句属于there be句型，主语是no radioactive waste，所以应用单数。故填is。
【65题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：传统的核电站通过原子分裂来发电，同时产生有害废料。根据句子结构可知，result in的逻辑主语是traditional nuclear power plants，发出result in这个动作，再结合句意，这里用现在分词表示伴随状语。故填resulting。
【66题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：因此，相比而言，人造太阳能有可能为未来提供一种更清洁的能源。本句有“compared with it”信息，再结合句意，这里是artificial solar energy与传统核电相比，因此应该使用形容词比较级。故填cleaner。
【67题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：人造太阳产生的热量达到了大约1亿摄氏度。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词reached，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词the heat，二者为逻辑上的动宾关系，需用过去分词形式。故填produced。
【68题详解】
考查介词。句意：虽然在很长一段时间内控制和容纳如此巨大的热量是不可能的，而且目前的高温只能保持103秒左右，这已经是一个巨大的进步。at present表示“现在；目前”，是固定短语。故填at。
【69题详解】
考查冠词。句意：虽然在很长一段时间内控制和容纳如此巨大的热量是不可能的，而且目前的高温只能保持103秒左右，这已经是一个巨大的进步。本空后面是huge step. step是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且huge发音以辅音音素开头，应填不定冠词a，表示“这是一个巨大的进步”。故填a。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意：人们希望这项新的科学成就能够使未来的世界对每个人来说都成为一个更安全、更美好的地方。本空前面是修饰语The new scientific，本空后面是插入语it is hoped，而句子结构显示本句的谓语动词是can help，因此本句缺少主语，故填名词achievement作主语。故填achievement。
改错题【答案】
1. all→both 2. method→methods 3. listen→listening 4. miss→misses 5. But→So
6. the→a 7. attentive→attentively 8. said→says 9. Because后加of 10 删掉is
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了Li Ming和Wang Ying不同的学习方法以及不同的学习效果。
【详解】1. 考查代词。句意：他们都很努力，但他们有不同的学习方法。由上文“Li Ming and Wang Ying are two students of Senior Three.”可知此处指代 Li Ming和Wang Ying两个人，应用both。故将all改为both。
2. 考查名词复数。句意：他们都很努力，但他们有不同的学习方法。method意为“方法”时是可数名词，根据修饰词different可知他们有不同的学习方法，表达复数概念，应用复数methods。故将method改为methods。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意：李明经常在课堂上睡觉而不是听老师讲课。instead of后应跟名词/动名词作宾语，应用listen的动名词形式listening。故将listen改为listening。
4. 考查主谓一致。句意：结果，他错过了老师提出的很多要点，通常他要花很多时间才能完成作业。根据上文“Li Ming often sleeps in class instead of listen to the teacher.”以及全文可知本文叙述Li Ming现在的情况，用一般现在时，主语是he，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故将miss改为misses。
5. 考查连词。句意：因此他不得不熬夜，睡眠不足。上文“he misses lots of points that the teacher makes and it usually takes him much time to finish his homework”与下文“he has to stay up late and doesn’t get enough sleep”之间为因果关系，应将But改为So。故将But改为So。
6. 考查冠词。句意：然而，Wang Ying的学习方式却截然不同。此处指Wang Ying有“一种完全不同的学习方法”，表泛指，different起始音为辅音，用不定冠词a。故将the改为a。
7. 考查副词。句意：她专心听讲，设法听懂老师在课堂上讲的每句话。attentive为形容词，此处修饰动词listens应用副词attentively，作状语。故将attentive改为attentively。
8. 考查时态。句意：她专心听讲，设法听懂老师在课堂上讲的每句话。“that the teacher said in class”为定语从句，根据主句的listens和tries可知，此处应用一般现在时；从句中the teacher作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数says。故将said 改为says。
9. 考查固定短语。句意：正因为如此，她花更少的时间做作业，这使得她可以早睡。because是连词，后面接从句；because of是介词短语，后面接名词、代词或动名词等。此处后面有this作宾语，故应用because of。故在Because后加of。
10. 考查固定用法。句意：正因为如此，她花更少的时间做作业，这使得她可以早睡。make it possible for sb to do sth是固定用法，表示“让某人做某事有可能”，it为形式宾语，不定式作真正的宾语，is多余。故删掉is。
