Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we ”
“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”
So Mrs. Harris said “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”

Masks that helped save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife, with birds and sea creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings. Single-use masks have been found around pavements, waterways and beaches worldwide. Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. “Face masks aren't going away any time soon—but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.
In Britain, a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps of a mask for up to a week. The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.
The biggest impact may be in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year, accounting for around 6,200 extra tonnes of ocean plastic pollution, according to environmental group Oceans Asia.
Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach, while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami. French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean. Masks and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures, says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy. “When those plastics break down in the environment, they then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems.” he added.
There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic has worn on, but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties. Campaigners have urged people to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped. Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.
8. What's Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The problem of littering masks. B. The long time to break down masks.
C. The threat of masks to wildlife. D. The protective use of masks to people.
9. What did the animal welfare charity do to the gull
A. They gave first aid to the bird. B. They released the bird at once.
C. They kept the bird for about a week. D. They sent the bird to hospital.
10. How is Paragraph 4 developed
A. By providing examples. B. By giving explanations.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing causes.
11. Which measure has been taken to help solve the problem
A. Forbidding the use of single-use masks. B. Wearing reusable cloth masks.
C. Cutting the masks up before throwing. D. Increasing fines for binning masks.
D
High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activity for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
12. What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment
A. To see how many students have smartphones.
B. To find out how popular her students are.
C. To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
D. To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
13. How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result
A. Shocked. B. Excited. C. Satisfied. D. Frightened.
14. Which of the following is true according to Jean Twenge
A. Students are now under great stress.
B. Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C. Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.
D. Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.
15. What might be talked about if the passage is continued
A. How other schools deal with students’ phones.
B. Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C. How some parents deal with their children’s phones.
D. Whether students are willing to give up using phones.

As Charlie was a good boy, most of his new classmates became his good friends soon. The teachers also praised Charlie for his intelligence and good behavior.
But there was one boy in the class who did not like Charlie at all! His name was Bill and he was a very naughty boy, so no one liked him at all. He found that Charlie was a quiet boy, so he started making trouble for his new classmate. But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain to the class teacher. When Charlie’s parents learned about Bill, they wanted to go to school and complain about this naughty boy’s behavior. But Charlie stopped them and said, “Mom, Dad, please do not worry. Everything will be all right.”
Days went by and the time came for the annual sports meeting at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he was participating in a number of events. Bill was participating in the sack race (套袋跑), though he could not run very fast due to his fat body. When Bill saw that Charlie won first prize in the 100-meter race, he felt very jealous (妒忌的) and decided that he would not let it happen in the sack race.
As planned, Bill tried to push Charlie while jumping on the track during the sack race. But he lost his balance and fell down! His leg was badly injured and he could not even stand up by himself. But as he was unpopular among his friends, no one turned up to help him!

Single-use masks have been found around pavements, waterways and beaches worldwide. Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. “Face masks aren't going away any time soon—but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.(曾经帮助拯救生命的面具，现在被证明对野生动物是致命的危险，鸟类和海洋生物被困在数量惊人的丢弃的面部覆盖物中。在世界各地的人行道、水道和海滩上都发现了一次性口罩。一旦磨损，这种薄的保护材料需要几百年才能分解。动物权利组织PETA的Ashley Fruno说：“口罩不会在短时间内消失——但当我们扔掉它们时，这些东西会损害环境和动物。)”可知，第一段主要讲了口罩对野生动物的威胁。故选C。

推理判断题。根据第四段“Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach, while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami. French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean. Masks and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures, says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy. “When those plastics break down in the environment, they then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems.” he added.(巴西的环保人士在一只企鹅的尸体被冲上海滩后，在它的胃里发现了一个口罩，而迈阿密海岸的另一只企鹅的胃里发现了一条河豚的尸体。法国活动人士在地中海附近发现了一只被困在口罩中的死螃蟹。非政府组织海洋保护协会的首席科学家George Leonard表示，口罩和手套对海洋生物来说“尤其成问题”。“当这些塑料在环境中分解，它们就会进入食物链，影响整个生态系统。”他补充道)”可推知，第四段是通过举例子来展开的。故选A。

High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions necessary for their growth,” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their child’s physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activity for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
12. What’s the purpose of Chavis’s experiment
A. To see how many students have smartphones.
B. To find out how popular her students are.
C. To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
D. To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
13. How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result
A. Shocked. B. Excited. C. Satisfied. D. Frightened.
14. Which of the following is true according to Jean Twenge
A. Students are now under great stress.
B. Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C. Over-using phones cause drops in students’ grades.
D. Over-using phones may harm students’ body and mind.
15. What might be talked about if the passage is continued
A. How other schools deal with students’ phones.
B. Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C How some parents deal with their children’s phones.
D. Whether students are willing to give up using phones.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者通过Kelly Chavis的课堂实验展示了智能手机对学生的影响，并引一些专业人士的观点来支持个人的论证，继而说明了学校就学生使用手机问题采取的措施。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in-class experiment.和下文可知，直到查维斯在课堂上做了一个实验，学生们才意识到这些设备有多大的问题：焦虑、睡眠不足等问题，故查维斯的实验目的是想去展示手机对青少年的影响很大，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的Chavis is among a growing number of teachers…are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of…“One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150!” she said.越来越多的老师、家长和健康专家认为，学生的焦虑程度越来越高，部分原因是智能手机造成的，查维斯就是其中之一。“一个女孩在一个小时内收到了近150条Snapchat通知。150条!”，可知Chavis对于实验的结果是非常震惊的，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones.可知Jean Twenge认为过度使用手机可能会伤害学生的身心。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem.可知最后一段讨论的是学校应采取的措施，那么接下来的段落可能会讨论的问题是一些父母如何处理他们孩子的手机。故选C项。

第二节 (满分 25 分)
57. 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。
Charlie was a little boy of ten. He was such a good boy that everyone loved him a lot. Due to his father’s job his family shifted to a new city, where he was admitted into a new school. As Charlie was a good boy, most of his new classmates became his good friends soon. The teachers also praised Charlie for his intelligence and good behavior.
But there was one boy in the class who did not like Charlie at all! His name was Bill and he was a very naughty boy, so no one liked him at all. He found that Charlie was a quiet boy, so he started making trouble for his new classmate. But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain to the class teacher. When Charlie’s parents learned about Bill, they wanted to go to school and complain about this naughty boy’s behavior. But Charlie stopped them and said, “Mom, Dad, please do not worry. Everything will be all right.”
Days went by and the time came for the annual sports meeting at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he was participating in a number of events. Bill was participating in the sack race (套袋跑), though he could not run very fast due to his fat body. When Bill saw that Charlie won first prize in the 100-meter race, he felt very jealous (妒忌的) and decided that he would not let it happen in the sack race.
As planned, Bill tried to push Charlie while jumping on the track during the sack race. But he lost his balance and fell down! His leg was badly injured and he could not even stand up by himself. But as he was unpopular among his friends, no one turned up to help him!

【答案】One possible version
Charlie noticed what had happened. At that moment, he was far ahead of the other racers and was close to winning the race. However, the moment he saw Bill got injured was struggling to get up, he abandoned the race and turned back to help him. The little boy had to make a great effort to pull Bill up, as he was much larger in size. As a result, Charlie lost the race, which made his classmates a little disappointed.
Charlie took Bill to the school doctor. At the doctor’s, Bill was carefully checked and was given some treatment. “You lost this sack race only because of me!” said Bill, after coming out of the doctor’s. “My mom tells me that helping a friend is more important than winning a race,” answered Charlie. Deeply touched by his reply, Bill promised to be a good boy like Charlie. After that, they became good friends and everybody was quite surprised at Bill’s big change.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Charlie因为搬家进入一个新学校，因为他乖巧懂事、友好聪明，大家都很喜欢他。但是有一个名叫Bill的调皮男孩子不喜欢他，甚至因为Charlie跑步比赛拿第一名而嫉妒他。并计划在套袋跑比赛中使坏推倒Charlie。没想到的是，Charlie没摔倒，Bill自己却摔倒了。Charlie本来即将赢得第一名，但是他为了去帮Bill放弃了比赛。Bill因此被打动，不再使坏，还立志成为Charlie一样优秀的孩子。他们俩也成为了好朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Charlie注意到发生了什么。”可知，第一段可描写Charlie注意到Bill摔倒后，放弃比赛拿奖，前去帮忙。
②由第二段首句内容“Charlie把Bill送到了校医那儿。”可知，第二段可描写Charlie如何把Bill送到医生那里，然后Bill因此而被改变。
