We've seen a worldwide health crisis (危机) bring out the worst in some people, but fortunately,
we've also been able to see it bring out the best in others.
A taxi driver in Spain has been providing COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) patients with free rides to and
from the hospitals. Doctors and nurses wanted to surprise him with their thanks for helping out.
They tricked him down to the hospital under the pretense of needing to pick up a sick patient, but
in reality, doctors and nurses lined the hall waiting to applaud (鼓掌) him.
“This is a surprise that has been given to a taxi driver who takes patients to the hospitals without
charge,” wrote the taxi company that first shared the video.
The man seemed completely taken aback by the gesture, stopping in the middle of the doors as the
whole room cheered for him.
He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19 test.
The video has since been shared tens of thousands of times across the world, because kind gestures
break the language barrier (障碍).
“When the crisis is finished, there will have been two types of people... the good and the bad,” one user wrote. “With workmates like him, I am proud to be a taxi driver, son of a taxi driver, and father of
a taxi driver.”
With the word in hard times, just knowing good people are there doing good deeds is something
we can all appreciate.

There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flags. So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple.
Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I
didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position
comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small
sea snail (海螺) that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio wouldn’t allow his wife to buy scarves made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today.
Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye
cloth. He patented (获得专利) the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore, everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use
purple.
28. Why was the color purple expensive in the past
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C. Because purple dye was worth as much as gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
29. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A. By giving numbers. B. By analyzing the effect.
C. By making comparisons. D. By listing examples.
30. What can we infer from the text
A. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold.
B. Royal families stopped using purple due to its high price.
C. William Henry Perkin contributes to the popularity of purple.
D. A few new national flags have chosen to use purple.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. No Purple Flags B. Purple vs. Gold
C. How to Produce Purple Dye D. The Birth of the Color Purple
D
What if a city bench (长凳) could provide a place not just to sit but also to breathe a little easier
That is the idea behind CityTree, a 14-foot-high energy-efficient bench covered with moss (苔藓).
CityTree is the invention of Peter Sanger, 29, a gardening expert and the CEO of Green City
Solutions. The company seeks to answer a challenging question: How can we bring nature into the city
and use its positive effects on the atmosphere at scale
The idea struck Sanger when he learned about the cleaning effects of various plants, particularly moss, as a university student. “That’s what got me excited—finding that the solution to air pollution
lies in nature, he says. “After all, nature has millions of years of experience in making air pure (纯
净).”
From the outside, the CityTree looks like a bench with a tower covered in moss. But inside is a
fully automated system that provides enough water for moss to grow. The built-in IOT(物联网)
technology monitors its performance and conditions, as well as providing environmental data from the
surrounding area.
According to Green City Solutions, the CityTree improves the air quality around it by up to 53%
and can cool the surrounding air by 4℃. The unit can provide a pleasant period of breathable air in
places where people tend to stay.” Think of a bus stop on a busy street, a street cafe, even an inner-city
schoolyard.” he says.
However, the CityTree is just the beginning. Its next generation is a slimmer model that contains a
digital screen on one side and a moss wall on the other.
32. What is the text mainly about
A. An air-cooling product. B. An idea for purer city air.
C. Sanger’s life experiences. D. The problems of air pollution.
33. What was Sanger excited to learn about as a university student
A. The application of moss. B. Humans’ dependence on nature.
C. Nature’s solution to air pollution. D. The diversity of air-cleaning plants.
34. Where is a CityTree device most likely to be found
A. At the seaside. B. In a rose garden.
C. In a street market. D. On top of a mountain.
35. The text is most likely from .
A. a science magazine B. a travel guide
C. a medical journal D. a biology textbook

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop
on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop,
looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming,
day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an
extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my
surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the
right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that
piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away
my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.

There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flags. So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple.
Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I
didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position
comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small
sea snail (海螺) that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio wouldn’t allow his wife to buy scarves made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today.
Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye
cloth. He patented (获得专利) the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore, everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use
purple.
28. Why was the color purple expensive in the past
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C. Because purple dye was worth as much as gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
29. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A. By giving numbers. B. By analyzing the effect.
C. By making comparisons. D. By listing examples.
30. What can we infer from the text
A. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold.
B. Royal families stopped using purple due to its high price.
C. William Henry Perkin contributes to the popularity of purple.
D. A few new national flags have chosen to use purple.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. No Purple Flags B. Purple vs. Gold
C. How to Produce Purple Dye D. The Birth of the Color Purple
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了几乎没有哪个国家的国旗上有紫色, 原因是因为在过去
紫色很贵,随后文章介绍了人造紫色染料的发现历程。
【28 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small sea snail (海螺) that was only found in the
Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian
purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families.(紫色的独特之处在于它所用染料的稀有性和高成本。这种染料来自 一种只在地中海提尔地区发现的小型海蜗牛。仅制造一克紫色需要超过 10,000 只蜗牛,更不 用说大量的工作投入到生产这种染料, 这使得紫色染料甚至对一些王室成员来说都非常昂贵)” 可知制造紫色的染料很稀有,即很少见;而且仅制造一克就需要用到超过 10000 只蜗牛,这个 工作量很大,更别提大量投入生产了,这个生产难度实在太大了;综上所述,在过去紫色贵是
因为生产紫色的染料很少见而且生产难度很大;故选 D 项。
【29 题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段“Queen Elizabeth I didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal
family to wear it.(伊丽莎白一世不允许除了皇室成员之外的任何人穿戴它)”;“Third century
Roman Emperor Aurelio wouldn’t allow his wife to buy scarves made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold.(三世纪的罗马皇帝奥雷里奥不允许他的妻子购买紫色丝绸制成的 围巾, 因为它的价格是黄金的三倍)”可知文章拿伊丽莎白不允许除皇室成员之外的人穿戴紫色 和三世纪的罗马皇帝奥雷里不允许妻子购买紫色丝绸围巾作为例子, 引出一系列关于对紫色昂 贵原因的描述,即染料的稀有性和生产的难度,故第二段是通过举例来展开描述的。故选 D
项。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It’s such a popular color today.(今天这颜色很流行)”可知紫色在当
今是很流行的;由文章第三段“In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin
accidentally created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented (获得专利) the dye and mass-produced it.
Therefore, everybody could afford it.(1856 年, 18 岁的英国化学家 William Henry Perkin
在试图生产一种抗疟疾药物时,意外地创造了一种人造紫色染料。他注意到它可以用来染布。 他为这种染料申请了专利, 并批量生产。因此,每个人都能负担得起)”可知 William Henry Perkin 创造了人造紫色染料并批量生产紫色,这才使得人人能用得起紫色,因此推知 William Henry
Perkin 对于紫色的流行是有大贡献的。故选 C 项。
【31 题详解】
标题判断题。文章第一段“There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have
purple on their national flags. So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The
answer is really quite simple. Purple was just far too expensive. (现在世界上有 195 个国家, 但是几 乎没有一个国家的国旗是紫色的。紫色有什么不好?当今这颜色很流行。答案其实很简单。紫 色太贵了。) ”可知文章开篇讲述了 195 个国家几乎没有使用紫色在其国旗上面的, 引出文章后 面段落对紫色昂贵的原因以及人造紫色发展历程的描述;故全文都是围绕为什么没有紫色国旗 这个话题来展开描述的,故 A 项“No Purple Flags (没有紫色国旗?) ”适合作为本文标题;故
选 A 项。
D
What if a city bench (长凳) could provide a place not just to sit but also to breathe a little easier
That is the idea behind CityTree, a 14-foot-high energy-efficient bench covered with moss (苔藓).
CityTree is the invention of Peter Sanger, 29, a gardening expert and the CEO of Green City
Solutions. The company seeks to answer a challenging question: How can we bring nature into the city
and use its positive effects on the atmosphere at scale
The idea struck Sanger when he learned about the cleaning effects of various plants, particularly moss, as a university student. “That’s what got me excited—finding that the solution to air pollution
lies in nature, he says. “After all, nature has millions of years of experience in making air pure (纯
净).”
From the outside, the CityTree looks like a bench with a tower covered in moss. But inside is a
fully automated system that provides enough water for moss to grow. The built-in IOT(物联网)
technology monitors its performance and conditions, as well as providing environmental data from the
surrounding area.
According to Green City Solutions, the CityTree improves the air quality around it by up to 53%
and can cool the surrounding air by 4℃. The unit can provide a pleasant period of breathable air in
places where people tend to stay.” Think of a bus stop on a busy street, a street cafe, even an inner-city
schoolyard.” he says.
However, the CityTree is just the beginning. Its next generation is a slimmer model that contains a
digital screen on one side and a moss wall on the other.
32. What is the text mainly about
A. An air-cooling product. B. An idea for purer city air.
C. Sanger’s life experiences. D. The problems of air pollution.
33. What was Sanger excited to learn about as a university student
A. The application of moss. B. Humans’ dependence on nature.
C. Nature’s solution to air pollution. D. The diversity of air-cleaning plants.
34. Where is a CityTree device most likely to be found
A. At the seaside. B. In a rose garden.
C. In a street market. D. On top of a mountain.
35. The text is most likely from .
A. a science magazine B. a travel guide

Floods can strike quickly and with little waning in many parts of the world. Surviving a flood is a
matter of preparation and correct action as soon as the disaster begins. 36 .
●Make a flood survival plan.
37 . Pick several meeting spots in case you need to leave home, such as a friend’s home in a safe town or a shelter in your area. Make sure everyone in the family know where these locations
are and how to get there. Make sure the shelters and the routes to them are through high ground.
●Escape flood waters.
You may have only a short time to escape. Act quickly, using your planned route. Head to the
chosen shelters during flood warnings. When emergency services tell you to leave, follow their advice. Move to higher ground away from water. Whether you are on foot or have to give up your car, higher
ground is your best option. If you’re stuck at home, head for the roof if you can do so safely.
Avoid crossing through water. Water up to your ankles (脚踝) is enough to be dangerous. When you’re not sure of the water depth, don’t risk it. 38 . Use it to measure the water’s depth and
feel for stable (稳固的) ground.
●Follow news and warnings.
Flooding information can be found on your local news or weather station’sTV channel or website.
39 . Also, listen to local radio stations for regular updates.
● 40 .
Roads and other paths may have been destroyed. Stay off bridges. The soil under usual routes will be soft and less able to support the weight of vehicles. Find other routes over high ground or wait for
the authorities to indicate which roads are safe.
A. Watch out for damaged areas

【36 题详解】
上文“Surviving a flood is a combination of preparation and appropriate action as soon as the disaster begins.” (要想躲过洪水, 一开始就得做好准备工作和采取适当的行动。)提到在洪水中生存准 备工作和行动的重要性,下文给出了具体的建议,则设空处应该是承上启下的句子, F 项“这
里有一些帮助你和家人在洪水中生存的建议” 能够承上启下,符合语意。故选 F 项。
【37 题详解】
下文“Pick several meeting spots in case you need to leave home, such as a friend’s home in a safe
town or a shelter in your area.
” (万一需要离开家,你得选几个见面的地点,比如去到在安全的城镇的朋友家,或是你所在 区域的避难所。)提到制定全家人集合的安全地点, 确保全家人知道地点在哪以及去的路线。D 项“和你的家人坐下来制定一个行动计划”符合本段内容, 引出下文。其中“establish a plan”和小 标题“Make a flood survival plan.”一致;“Sit down with your family”和下文“Make sure everyone in
the family knows”内容一致。故选 D 项。
【38 题详解】
上句“When you’re not sure of the water depth, don’t risk it.” (当你不确定水的深度时,就不要冒 险。) 指出不确定水深时不要贸然涉水,则设空处应该指出正确做法,C 项“ 如果你必须涉水,
就得携带一根棍子”指出必须涉水时正确做法是携带一根棍子,下文“Use it to measure the
water’s depth and feel for stable (稳固的) ground.” (用棍子来测量水的深度,并感受地面是否稳 定。)则解释了棍子的作用,其中 it 指代 C 项中的“a stick”。所以 C 项符合题意。故选 C 项。
【39 题详解】
上文“Flooding information can be found on your local news or weather station’s TV channel or
website.” (有关洪水的消息可以在当地新闻或气象台的电视频道或网站上找到。)提到了解有 关洪水的消息的渠道, G 项“你应该收看天气预报, 关注天气变化 ”进一步告诉我们要关注天气 信息, 了解变化。下文“Also, listen to local radio stations for regular updates.” (此外, 定期收听当 地电台的最新消息。) 的“Also”承接 G 项内容, 指出了解洪水信息的另一做法。所以 G 项符合
题意。故选 G 项。
【40 题详解】
结合篇章结构可知, 设空处是第四个小标题, 是应对洪水的第四个建议。下文“Roads and other paths may have been destroyed. Stay off bridges. The soil under usual routes will be soft and less able
to support the weight of vehicles. Find other routes over high ground or wait for the authorities to
indicate which roads are safe.” (道路可能受损。远离桥梁。常规路线下的土壤会变软, 难以支撑 车辆的重量。我们应该在高地上寻找其他路线,或者等待当局指示哪些道路是安全的。)介绍 洪水中的路况隐患和如何选择安全路线, A 项“ 留意受灾区域” 能够概括该段内容, 下文“Roads and other paths may have been destroyed”与 A 项的“damaged areas”一致。所以 A 项符合题意。故

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop
on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop,
looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming,
day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an
extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my
surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the
right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that
piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away
my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.
Paragraph 2:
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly.

【答案】I could not believe my eyes . The beautiful piano I had been longing for was standing there in front of me. Excitement and happiness filled my heart. I couldn’t help crying and tears streamed down my face. My mother approached me, saying they knew the piano was the very thing I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to realize my dream. I was on the point of
saying something when the door opened.
As soon as my father appeared,I hugged him tightly. “Thankyou, Dad!” I said. I could see a big smile on his wrinkled face. Regardless of the bad weather, my father had gone to work every day to make money. I cold not imagine how much effort he had made! My father kissed me on the forehead, whispering that he had at last earned enough to buy the piano. Only then did I realize that no gift could
measure up to a father’s love.
