Mary Lyon was a leader in women's education in the nineteenth century. It was a time when women's education was not considered important in the United States. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.
Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.
Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property (财产), guided by an independent group of directors. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 34 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.
Mary's efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.

Plans to bring wild tigers back to their original home, their historical range (历史分布范围) in the Ili-Balkhash region, have been announced by Kazakhstan(哈萨克斯坦) and an agreement with World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) to conduct a tiger reintroduction programme has been signed. "It will not only bring wild tigers back to their original home, but also protect the unique ecosystem of the Ili-Balkhash region," said Askar Myrzakhmetov, the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
If successful, Kazakhstan will be the first country in the world to bring wild tigers back to an entire region where they have died out for nearly half a century. Tiger reintroduction projects have only been achieved within national borders and in areas that are considered current tiger habitats. Kazakhstan's tiger reintroduction programme is unique and it badly requires the restoration of a vast forest that is part of the wild tigers historical range.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, wild tigers have lost over 90 percent of their historical range. Wild tigers have completely disappeared from the region since the late 1940s, due to the loss of habitat. To prepare for the return of wild tigers, on 1 st January 2021 Kazakhstan will set up a new nature reserve in the southwestern Ili-Balkhash, in order to restore the unique forest habitat. This will include the protection of existing wildlife, and reintroducing important prey (猎物), such as the endangered wild Bactrian deer.
Restoring tigers will also help protect Lake Balkhash and prevent it from repeating the fate of the Aral Sea, formerly the world's fourth largest lake and now 10 percent of its original size. "The hard work remains ahead of us. We have to spare no effort to make this region ready for tigers and involve all the relevant people to make this happen. That means dealing with illegal activities, having these people who govern parks be well trained and equipped, increasing prey populations and involving local communities," said Ekaterina Vorobyeva, Director of the WWF programme.
1.What is Askar Myrzakhmetov's attitude towards the tiger reintroduction programme
A.Doubtful. B.Favourable. C.Concerned. D.Disapproving.
2.What made the wild tigers disappear in the Ili-Balkhash region
A.The increasing loss of prey. B.The evolution of the species.
C.The lack of natural living places. D.The serious environmental pollution.
3.Which measure may be taken for the reintroduction of tigers
A.Regulating human activities. B.Limiting the number of prey.
C.Building a reserve for tigers only. D.Training tigers to be more adaptable.
4.What is the best title of the passage
A.Efforts to Restore Forests in Kazakhstan
B.Bringing Tigers Back Home to Kazakhstan
C.Attempts to Handle Illegal Activities Effectively
D.Preventing Tigers Disappearing in Kazakhstan

Government in Tibet have denied the permanent(永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.
The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was "permanently closed due to heavy pollution" and caused a universal misunderstanding.
Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square km, it is home to one of the world's weakest ecosystems.
Kelsang, deputy director of the reserve administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.
To protect the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the cleanup will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims(受害者) at above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.
Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.
These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education, said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined words "went viral" in Paragraph 2
A.spread wildly B.blocked out C.gave away D.shot up
2.What can we learn according to Kelsang's words about the National Nature Reserve
A.Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.
B.A permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.
C.The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.
D.The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.
3.Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above
A.To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.
B.To keep mountaineering activities going smoothly.
C.To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.
D.To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.
4.How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present
A.300. B.1,000. C.85. D.1,085.

At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
"Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop." someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him, The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. Jane and Tom rushed out of the door and went along the corridor through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them. They called her Auntie Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
"She may have run for safety like everyone else!" Tom said. However. Jane refused to give up and said," I know Makcik is still inside." Jane was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. "Go downstairs. Go now! Go! "

3.推理判断题。根据首段中的there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their diets and their dining out experience以及四个小标题中的关键词app，可判断文章目的在于为吃货们介绍有用的应用软件。故选D。
B
答案：1-4.BCBD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.可知,大多数年轻女性无法继续接受教育。即使她们能接受教育,除了法语、如何缝制衣服和音乐之外,她们通常不会学到多少东西。所以19世纪美国女性的教育问题是她们能选择的学习科目很少。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的Mary Lyon felt that women's education was extremely important.以及Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland.可知,玛丽·莱昂认为女性的教育极其重要。她在巴克兰为年轻女性开办了一所学校。所以我们能从第二段中了解到,玛丽很重视女性的教育。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的This school would own its own property, guided by an independent group of directors... It would not depend on any one person to continue.可知,这所学校将拥有自己的财产,由一个独立的董事会领导。它的资金将由董事们负责,不依靠任何人。所以玛丽·莱昂开办的学校在资金上是独立的。故B选项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Wild tigers have completely disappeared from the region since the late 1940s, due to the loss of habitat."可知, 20 世纪40年代末野生老虎从该地区完全消失是由于栖息地的丧失。所以C项"The lack of natural living places(缺少自然的居住地)"与文章内容一致。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"That means dealing with illegal activities..."可知,实施这个项目要做很多准备工作,其中包括处理违法活动,即限制人类肆意捕杀或者破坏野生地。所以A 项"Regulating human activities (管控人类活动)"是引进老虎之前要采取的措施之一。故选A。

D
答案：1-4.ABDD
解析：1.考查词义猜测。根据下文中的"caused a universal misunderstanding" 可推知,一篇声称珠峰景区因污染严重而永久关闭的报道在网上疯传,引起了普遍的误解,由此可知,画线部分与A项意思一致。故选A。

3.考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"To protect the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring"可知,为了保护珠峰周边的环境,去年春天,中国政府在海拔5200米及以上的地方进行了三次大清理。故选D。
4.考查简单计算。根据倒数第二段中的"there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage"可知,保护区里有85名野生生物保护者,有1000名牧民做清理垃圾的兼职工作,因此共有1085个人参与了清理工作。故选D。

②推理判断题。根据本段中心句Protect your privacy(隐私).(保护你的隐私。)可知,保护自己的隐私安全很重要。所以选择项D"The first thing you need to do is keep yourself safe (你要做的第一件事就是保证自己的安全)"符合上下文语境。故选D。
③标题归纳题。根据后文Don't make it all too easy for someone to steal your personal information. Learn how to use a system such as LastPass to remember all your passwords, or use a reliable app to safely store all your password information.(不要让别人轻易窃取你的个人信息。学习如何使用LastPass等系统来记住所有密码,或者使用可靠的应用程序来安全地存储所有密码信息。)可知,本段主要介绍要注意密码安全。所以选择项A"Understand password safety(了解密码安全)"符合上下文语境。故选A。
④推理判断题。根据前句The most simple photos can still show a lot of things that shouldn't be posted online.(最简单的照片仍然可以显示出很多不应该在网上发布的东西。)可知此处说明照片上不能显示的信息。所以选择项E"If you take a photo of your home, make sure the street number isn't shown(作如果你给你的家拍照,确保没有显示街道号码)"符合上下文语境。故选E。
⑤推理判断题。根据前句If you expect nice information, you have to be nice yourself. (如果你想得到好的信息,你自己就得对人好。)可知,使用网络要保持积极有礼貌的态度。所以选择项F"Make it a point to be as positive as possible when you are online(当你在网上时,要尽量保持积极的态度)"符合上下文语境。故选F。

第一节
答案：
Dear Chris,
How is everything going With heartfelt delight, I'm writing to share my sincere feeling about the China-Ireland Cultural Festival with you.
Although a week has passed since you returned home, I can still recall the enjoyable time we spent together. From Chinese calligraphy to Irish paintings, we got a glimpse of various aesthetic masterpieces. And the festival also unfolded the two countries' profound history. From this experience, I truly understand that geographical separation does not necessarily bring about cultural conflicts and that we can assimilate the other's merits contrarily.
At last, I hope our friendship will last forever. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly. By then, both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs. And then some neighbours rushed her to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighbourhood felt relieved. Jane and Tom's joy was immense.
