第一节 (满分 10分)
Dear Jim,
Knowing you are conducting a survey of the housework that high school students do at home, I feel very pleased to
offer you some information about it.
Although my school schedule is rather tight, I still manage to help with varieties of household chores, ranging from
cleaning the house and doing the laundry to feeding the pets, and doing the dishes. I consider it beneficial for high school
students to do some housework. For one thing, by doing housework we learn to take responsibility at home, and in the
longer term, in society. For another, I find the time spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding.
Good luck with your survey.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 （满分 20分）
Every day after that, Chuck and Peter set out to work on the farmhouse. Tired but overwhelmed with astonishment,
none of them slowed their working pace. Before the rebuilding work came to an end, they kept riding Stan’s old pickup
truck and headed to the “workplace”. With time ticking by, the farm house gradually took form, but there was still
something detailed needing perfecting, because of which Stan and Kyle came to their assistance, for they were familiar with
the original farmhouse. It took them two months to complete the project, including planting crops in the field. It’s going to
be such a treat to be here!” Chuck said in high spirits, his eyes glittering with joy. Staring at the masterpiece accomplished
with their joint effort, the past memory welling up inside Stan, he could barely fight back his tears but continually
murmuring “Thank you, kids!”
That Sunday, they decided to host a barbecue party and invite their neighbors. Excited but nervous, to make sure
everything was in place and well prepared, they reached the farm early and dared not slack off, elaborately preparing a
variety of exquisite dishes. As night neared, guests arrived one after another, all of whom were deeply impressed by the new
farm. They danced the night away while enjoying the yummy foods. At the sight of the scene, Stan looked up at the sky in
awe. “We make it, Dad. The Hardy boys have managed to keep your farm alive, ” he said firmly. “I hope you’re proud of
what you see. ”

W: Whose turn is it now, Jack
M: I think Brian is after you, Sally.
W: No, that can’t be right. Brian was the first person to go, and David was the second. I just went, so that just
leaves…
Text 2
W: Jason, you are recovering so quickly. You look much better today. I think you’ll be home in a few days.
M: I hope so. Then I’ll be able to play in the football match next month. I’ve been looking forward to that day.
Text 3
W: Hi, Tom, how about your final exam
M: Oh, to my delight, I got a full mark in math. My hard work in it paid off finally. But I failed in English. What
about you
W: I did the best in Chinese, but failed in math. I should have worked harder at this subject.
Text 4
M: I am reading an article in the school magazine and learn that our school band needs another singer. You are such a
good singer. Why not have a try
W: Really Thank you for telling me about it. I will sign up for it.
Text 5
M: Can I borrow your camera for the weekend I want to take some pictures of my nephew. He is 17 months old.
W: Well, good luck getting any pictures. At that age, they always try to grab the camera from you.
Text 6
M: Just smell that, will you Cool, isn’t it
W: Hmm…I think it’ll be great.
M: Better than that popcorn we made when we burnt the pan. Do you remember Mom made us promise never to
make it at home again.
W: She didn’t need to. It was seriously bad. We’ll just have to remember to get this pizza out.
M: Yeah, in 15 minutes it’ll be ready.
W: Yes. What do you think we should have for dessert I fancy some cakes.
M: Let’s make one.
Text 7
W: Did you move into your new apartment
M: Yes, but it’ll probably take me about three weeks to get everything organized.
W: Don’t worry. Have you taken a walk around your neighborhood yet
M: Well, I took a long walk through the neighborhood this morning on my way to the subway station. It took me 20
minutes.
W: That’s a long way to the subway station, but you only pay 800 dollars a month. It’s hard to decide which is better,
a shorter distance or a lower rent.
M: I thought paying a lower rent would be better, but now I’m not sure.
W: Is there a supermarket nearby
M: Yes, if you don’t mind the 30-minute walk there.
W: Sounds like you’d better buy a bicycle.
{#{QQABBQiEogioAAAAAQhCAwmyCEEQkAGCCAoOgFAIMAAAwBFABAA=}#}
M: That’s right, or I’m going to spend a lot of time walking.
Text 8
W: The weekend is almost here. Let’s do something together.
M: You’re right. How about going camping
W: It’s a bit cold for camping, don’t you think
M: Alright, let’s go hiking instead.
W: Hmm, I don’t have energy to do that. Every time I go back from hiking, I need several days to have a rest. How
about going to the museum
M: Well, it doesn’t sound very exciting, but I’ll go. Then afterwards, let’s go out for dinner.
W: Why don’t we eat at home instead I went shopping this morning and there’s a lot of food in the fridge.
M: Sounds good. Well, how about going to see a movie in the cinema after dinner
W: Great. Now let’s try and decide what movie to watch.
Text 9
M: Welcome to our hotel’s indoor swimming pool. What can I do for you
W: You see, this is my first time to use the swimming pool, and I’ve got no idea about the water temperature of the
pool. I’m afraid it might be a little cold.
M: You don’t need to worry about that, madam. This is a warm massage pool; the temperature is 36 degrees.
W: I see. I’m also not a very good swimmer. Can you tell me how deep the pool is
M: Certainly, madam. The deepest area is two meters deep, but you can swim in the area at the edge of the pool,
which is only 1.4 meters deep. We have separate locker rooms over there, and they are free of charge.
W: That’s great! Can you give me a key to a locker I can’t wait to try the pool.
Text 10
W: Today, we are going to talk about some low-cost gifts for Mother’s Day.
Gift No. 1 — Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a
disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need”, but another set of eyes and ears is always
a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part — this one is free.
Gift No. 2 — Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical
information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them.
“Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3 — Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and
comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our
health. ”
Gift No. 4 — Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by
picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity. Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of
useful but inexpensive things — many of which are “green” — and then choose a meaningful charity from a list.
When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

第二部分阅读（共两节，满分45分）
第一节（共 10小题；每小题 3分，满分 30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Are you a different person when you speak a foreign language That’s just one of the questions The
New Yorker’s writer and native North Carolinian Lauren Collins explores in her engaging autobiography,
about her tough efforts to master French after marrying a Frenchman whose name — Olivier — she
couldn’t even pronounce properly. When in French ranges from the humorously personal to a deeper
look at various theories of language acquisition and linguistics.
The couple met in London “on more or less neutral ground: his continent, my language.” But the
balance shifted when they moved to Geneva for Olivier’s work. The normally voluble Collins found
herself at a loss — “nearly speechless.” The language barrier, and her dependence on her husband for
simple things like buying the right cut of meat worsened her mixed feelings about “unlovely, but not
ridiculous” Geneva. She comments, “Language, as much as land, is a place. To be cut off from it is to be,
in a sense, homeless.”
Her sense of alienation (疏离感 ) leads to an examination of America’s miserable record when it
comes to foreign languages: “Linguists call America ‘the graveyard of languages’ because of its singular
ability to take in millions of immigrants and make their native languages die out in a few generations,”
Collins writes. Educated in Wilmington, N.C．, and at Princeton, she could — like the vast majority of
Americans — only speak their mother tongue.
Eight months after she moved to Switzerland, Collins gave up on the natural acquisition of
language and finally enrolls in a French course. As she struggles with grammar and vocabulary, Collins
notes smartly that vert (green), verre (glass), ver (worm), vers (toward), and vair (squirrel) compose a
quintuple homonym (同形异义). “Although it’s difficult, French can be tried,” she says.
Yet French is actually considered among the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn,
especially compared to Arabic or Mandarin Chinese. Collins, whose notably rich English vocabulary
2
includes glossolalia (nonsense speech) and shibboleth (catchword or slogan), finds plenty of terrific
French words to love. She writes, “English is a trust fund, an unearned inheritance, but I've worked for
every bit of French I've banked.”
Unlike Jhumpa Lahiri, who became so hooked on Italian and used it to write In Other Words,
Collins’ goals for learning French were more modest: “I wanted to speak French and to sound like North
Carolina.” She also wanted to be able to deal with chimney sweeps and butchers, communicate with her
in-laws, and “to touch Olivier in his own language.” She admits that she feels different speaking French:
“Its austerity (朴素) made me feel more confused.”
21．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “voluble” in Paragraph 2
A．Graceful.
B．Dependent. C．Talkative.
D．Energetic.
22．Why do linguists call America “the graveyard of languages”
A．Because other languages are prohibited in America.
B．Because only English-speaking people can immigrate into America.
C．Because immigrants’ native languages contradict English in America.
D．Because American culture swallows up immigrants’native languages gradually.
23．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5
A．Collins’ English vocabulary knowledge contributes little to her French learning.
B．Collins has found out some effective ways of mastering French words.
C．Arabic or Mandarin Chinese is easier to learn than French for English speakers.
D．It’s terrifying for Collins to have French words in store for practical use.
B
From Santa Barbara to Scotland, strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together.
They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides,
if they can t pedal themselves.
even
Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together
for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger
seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week, often
discussing the history of their town.
"Despite my deceased parents, it gives me a connection with people
from
an
older
generation, ”said Lawrence, “and I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories. ”The pair
have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he calls Lyon often and goes to the gym with
him to help him with exercises he can t do on his own.
Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that s the power of the program. “The truly
powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new
relationships,” he told CBS News. “In my experience, friendships — and the ability to form new
relationships at any age — are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life. ”
John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say,
What does it cost if I m going to go for a ride I say, Here s what it costs: You have to wave. If you
3
don t wave, I m going to kick you out, ” he joked. He said he likes when they hit red lights, because it
gives them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement
for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said, “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she
holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn t get any better than
that.”
24.What did Lawrence benefit from Cycling Without Age
A.Picking up forgotten stories.
B.Improving his health condition.
C.Understanding his parents love.
D.Creating a relationship with seniors.
25.Why did Ole Kassow mention “friendships”
A.To share the pleasure of cycling.
C.To show the value of the program.
B.To state the nature of happiness.
D.To introduce the definition of a good life.
26.What can we learn from Boettner s words in the last paragraph
A.The program needs to be advertised.
C.Red lights connect people on the road.
27.What message does the passage convey
A.A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
B.Passengers have to pay for their rides.
D.Bike riders feel fulfilled by offering rides.
B.Be a rainbow in somebody else s cloud.
C.Don t go through life, grow through life. D.Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
C
GENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil’s educational
achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for
education predict a person’s educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of
people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some
are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.
And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to
improve, he doesn’t think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even
relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which
may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful
predictions, such as a person’s likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering
embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic
scores for disease risk.
Some researchers—notably Robert Plomin of King’s College London—think that schools should
start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities
such as persistence as well as intelligence.
To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated
them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The
participants’ genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among
other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person’s polygenic score and their exam
results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about
individuals, says Morris.
4
Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the
strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “It’s so much stronger than a lot
of other things we base decisions on. So it’s a very big finding.”
Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil’s
earlier test results. Looking at parents’ educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil’s
academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor
based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.
28. In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _____.
A. some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variants
B. some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variants
C. genetic scores are useful in predicting one’s potential diseases
D. genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school
29. How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education
A. By providing opposite examples.
B. By explaining how the genome works.
C. By listing findings from another scientist.
D. By presenting facts and data from research.
30. According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _____.
A. useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children are
B. useful in predicting people who might struggle academically
C. stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciences
D. strongly correlated to children’s academic achievements

Time to make lemonade out of life’s lemons
When you have an unexpected lockdown staring at you, take it one day at a time. Instead of getting
bogged down by the thought, take each of those days as an opportunity to build new skills, explore
hobbies and do things you’ve always wanted to.
1. Give your house a makeover
31 .
32
With a lockdown in full progress, this may be a good time to give your home a fresh new
look. Change the curtains, move your tables, chairs and sofas around the house to try out new
combinations. Besides burning good calories, this activity could help you hit the reset button and let you
escape the boredom of same-old.

33
There are at least half a dozen people, at any given point of time that you need to call back. An
elderly aunt, that slightly touchy friend, or your former colleague — you really meant to call them back,
but ... you know how it is. This is a good time to find out how your friends and family are doing. Spread
the warmth and stay bonded.
5
3. Find the bookworm in you
This is a no-brainer to be honest. Besides being a great entertainer, this can be a great use of your
me-time, simply because you will enhance your knowledge of people, society, history and culture. 34
4. Try digital housekeeping
.
Your home may be tidy and in order, but your digital life is a mess: photos all out of place, the
music from god-knows-when, old text files that need to be cleaned up. 35 . Most importantly, you need
to change your passwords and keep them safe.
A．Be a social butterfly — on the phone
B．Here is a list of ideas for you to explore
C．Also, research suggests that reading keeps you smarter
D．Used to the common setting of your routine workplace
E．Therefore, you are supposed to finish the following things
F．Not to mention a system backup and an update of your operating system

Chuck and his elder brother Peter lived with their dad Kyle and their grandfather Stan. One evening,
Chuck and Peter asked their grandfather about the number one activity on his bucket list(人生愿望清单).
“I was going to rebuild my dad’s farmhouse and maintain it. It’s a shame I could never do it, ” he sighed.
Stan worked hard as a car mechanic, but his earnings were never enough to maintain such a huge farm.
Months passed and there was no mention of the farm again. Stan and Kyle continued working in
their car repair shop, while Chuck and Peter worked downtown. On Stan’s 75th birthday, Chuck and
Peter decided to give him a surprise.
“Grandpa, ”Chuck started, “this year we decided not to give you a cake for your birthday. ”“Ah,
wait and see, Grandpa. I think you’re going to like this a lot better than a chocolate cake, ”Peter added.
At that moment, Peter excitedly brought out his laptop and flashed a 3 D model of a modern
farmhouse. Kyle and Stan stared at the computer screen. “What are we looking at ”Stan asked his
grandsons. “We know how much your dad valued his farm and how much you wanted to honor him by
maintaining it. Chuck and I raised money to fix the farmhouse and the farm, ” Peter said with a smile.
Stan covered his mouth with his hand. Tears instantly streamed down his face. “You’d do that for
me ” he cried. “Grandpa, you’re the best grandfather on earth, ” Chuck told him. “We do absolutely
anything for you. There’s nothing else you need to say but to assure us that you’ll help us rebuild the
farm, Grandpa! You too, Dad!”
Kyle and Stan nodded their heads. “Absolutely. When we’re done, I’ll throw a barbecue party! My
dad said that if I ever get to maintain the farm, we should throw a barbecue party, ” Stan said excitedly.
