Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng, a retired Tibetan couple, have become trailblazers（开拓者） of grape growing and wine making in their old ages.
Lu Sheng learned grape planting and wine making from her grandmother’s sister. Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region’s capital, which is 3,600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes, Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.
They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and the economy. The couple’s project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.
“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high - altitude and open- air planting,” Lu Sheng said.
“Thanks to the plateau’s sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin（花青素）content,” she said. Anthocyanins, which are in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine, are water- soluble（水溶性的）.
In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting on nearly 6.67 hectares. In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and wine making, they taught the skills to local villagers.
“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,” Hua Sheng said.
Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which has contributed to her income and quality of life. “After working in the vineyards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now. We love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier.”
24．What did the couple do after their retirement
A．They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.
B．They made friends with a French expert.
C．They moved to another city from Lhasa.
D．They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng’s grandmother.
25．Why was the couple’s project thought of as a poverty relief program
A．They donated grapes to local schools.
B．They provided free wine for villagers.
C．They expanded the project with the local government.
D．They employed local residents as workers.
26．Which is the function of anthocyanins
A．They make grapes more delicious. B．They can accelerate the growth of grapes.
C．They provide rich colors for wine. D．They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.
27．For the project conducted by the couple, Yudron is ______.
A．appreciative B．cautious C．indifferent D．hesitate
C
You may not realize it, but your day goes around plants. It’s not just mercial plants are used in everything from medicine to food, paper, bioplastics, and other products. However, as global climate change intensifies, growing many of these plants will be a major challenge. Massive heatwaves and droughts are already affecting farmers: Over the next three decades, California’s San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535,000 acres of farmland as a result of shrinking water supplies.
Jennifer Brophy, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, wants to help solve that problem. In order to push plants to respond to extreme climates, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits（基因回路）”. In addition to changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are activated. If the plant senses a specific sugar or agrichemical, it can express one protein; if it senses another signal, it’ll express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may be able to express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,” she says.
“A plant doesn’t necessarily know what’s coming. It just knows if it’s hot or temperate（温和的） right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when the weather becomes unstable. A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there are a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures plummet again, the flowers die, which ruins a year’s crops. “It’d be great to be able to communicate with plants and tell them, ‘Hey, you should wait on that flowering,’” she adds. Controlling plants’ growth at this level is exciting, but actually putting it into practice is a long way off. At the moment, Brophy is testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis. She’s still early in the process of figuring out how to activate certain genes on command. While the research is in its early stages, it may help pave the way for the next generation of farming.
28．What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning San Joaquin Valley
A．To prove the necessity of growing more plants.
B．To point out the barrier to increasing water supplies.
C．To show the harmful effect of climate change on farming.
D．To tell the root cause of intensified global climate change.
29．What’s the expected function of genetic circuits
A．Predicting plants’ response to different inputs. B．Increasing the attractiveness of commercial plants.
C．Providing more energy for plants out of season. D．Controlling plants’ growth on demand.
30．What does the underlined word “plummet” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Rise. B．Steady. C．Drop. D．Permit.
31．What does the author think of Brophy’s research
A．Unpractical. B．Meaningful. C．Representative. D．Comprehensive.
D
As we work to ease biodiversity losses and seek to reduce climate change, restoration is an important part of the global solution. But while it is widely understood that ecosystem restoration is the right thing to do, there is far less understanding of what exactly it means, and how it is to be achieved.
One of the most obvious misunderstandings about ecosystem restoration is that it is all about action, especially planting trees. It is important to understand that forest and woodland ecosystems are not the only crucial environments to restore. Ecosystem restoration consists of a huge range of different systems, from farmland soils and grassland systems to our seas and oceans.
Ecosystem restoration is not always about actively intervening（介入）. In many instances, passive intervention can be just as effective, if not more so, than active. This involves simply letting nature take the reins. In short, in ecosystem restoration, what we don’t do can be as important as what we do. Often nature already has the answers. But there are situations in which humans have damaged the environment to such a degree that natural restoration is impossible. This is when carefully designed action is required.
Another key thing to remember is that we cannot succeed in ecosystem restoration without local people’s involvement or, ideally, their leadership. When a community feels a sense of belonging and a deep connection with the land, this provides a firm foundation for future conservation and restoration work.
While I dislike taking an overly human-centered view, environmental issues cannot be separated in our complex modern world from socio-economic ones. We need to look at people and the planet as a whole and appreciate the complex web of human life and its interaction with the natural world in order to form practical restoration solutions. It is important to understand how nature can thrive（繁荣） and still provide humans with the things we need. It is only when we consider the natural environment and human society as interconnected that we can really continue to make progress.
32．Which shows the right understanding of ecosystem restoration
A．Ecosystem restoration involves a variety of systems.
B．Direct action on forest ecosystems should be avoided.
C．Community-led efforts should be reduced.
D．The more trees we plant, the better ecosystems will be.
33．In what case active intervention is often a must
A．Active intervention can improve the local economy
B．The cost of passive intervention is high.
C．A large population relies on natural resources.
D．Nature fails to restore itself.
34．According to Paragraph 5, what should be done to make practical restoration plans
A．To learn from developed countries.
B．To take both social factors and nature into account.
C．To make a study of local natural resources.
D．To put environmental protection first.
35．What is mainly talked about in the text
A．What challenge people face in ecosystem restoration.
B．How people can benefit from ecosystem restoration.
C．How to repair damaged ecosystems more effectively.
D．Why ecosystem restoration becomes urgent.

Express gratitude. Be aware of what you do have, whether it’s a fantastic friend or wonderful partner. Try to make a list of things you are grateful for every night for two weeks. Write your friends a letter telling them how they have helped you. 37 .
Volunteer. Many studies have shown that community service is more satisfying over the long term than focusing on your problems. 38 . You can become less focused on the bad stuff you’ve been dealing with. You even form a connect ion with others in the process.
39 . It might seem nearly impossible to find something pleasant in a difficult situation, but it can be helpful. Maybe you’ll go through some personal growth and change because of what happened, or you’ll become closer to someone.
Change negative self-talk. It’s always too easy to think the same negative thoughts over and over again . However, you can learn to change this. 40 , replace it with a positive one. If you find yourself thinking "It’s all my fault" or "I’m not good enough", stop and remind yourself of how well you’ve been dealing with problems and how others appreciate you.

A．When you notice yourself having a negative thought about yourself
B．Optimism can bring joy and peace of mind
C．Notice the good
D．That’s when you can fall into the trap of pessimism
E．Appreciating the good in the world can change the way you look at life

Health Care Workers Getting Panic Buttons
Hundreds of health care workers at Cox Medical Center in Missouri will soon be equipped with personal panic buttons, following over a year of increased violence against staff members. The pandemic （流行病）, the medical center said, has greatly 41 the rise of the number of attacks and the very device comes at the right time to the rescue.
A medical worker, once experiencing an attack, can press the button attached to his working ID card to activate a personal 42 system and warn the security department—an instant pop-up 43 will appear on hospital computers, showing the worker’s exact location.
The panic buttons are being 44 among scores of staff members working in “high-risk areas” of Cox Medical Center. The hospital promises, if there are positive results, to 45 the program to hundreds of employees. And the system is expected to be 46 at the end of the year.
Those buttons are 47 backed by the Skaggs Foundationa, charity in Missouri, which has offered the hospital a big grant. “This project helps maintain our No.1 resource—our health care workers, the number of whom has 48 so much,” Nita Jane Ayres, Chairman of the foundation, said.
Alan Butler, Cox Health’s system director, agreed the buttons were a（n） 49 tool in the battle to keep the staff safe. The entire number of attacks on staff by patients has risen from 40 in 2019 to 123 in 2020, and total injuries rocketed from 17 to 78.
50 , even those numbers scarcely paint the full picture. Angie Smith, the medical center’s patient safety facilitator, said that many workplace violence events went 51 because “staff don’t feel like they will be supported or don’t feel like they will be able to do anything about it.” “The 52 parts of being in health care now are not only being able to give excellent care to your patients”, she said, “but also feeling 53 yourself as their caregiver.”
54 , workplace violence in medical centers deserved our attention even before the pandemic. A survey of thousands of emergency physicians found that nearly half of the participants had undergone attacks while working, and roughly ninety - seven percent of those were 55 by patients.

An impossible peace
Once upon a time, on a piece of land there lived giants and dragons, who had been enemies for years on end. However, after years of bloody fights, they had learned a lot. They were no longer so foolish as to wage wars with terrible battles in which thousands died. Now, every year they held bowling matches instead. A giant competed against a dragon. Whoever lost would become the winner’s slave. If a dragon won, he could use the giant’s muscles for all that heavy lifting. If a giant won, he would have free flights and fire for the whole year.
That was how they prevented their deaths and yet with the match going round and round, they hated each other more and more. Every year the winners were so cruel to the losers, in revenge（报复） for the time they had lost. The losers would be at the mercy of the winners, giants tired from lifting loads while dragons worn out from constant flying and breathing fire. There came a time when what mattered most was not winning the bowling match, but not losing.
Yonk the Giant was the best bowler, and the most afraid. He had never lost. Many dragons had been his slaves and they were dying to see him lose so they could get their revenge. This was why Yonk was terrified of losing. Especially since last year’s match, when he missed his first ever strike, he had decided that something had to change.
The following year he won again. When he arrived home, his slave dragon feared the worst but Yonk did nothing bad to him, for he had a different idea in mind.
“This year you will not be my slave. We will go bowling and I will teach you all of my techniques and secrets. But you must promise me one thing: when you win your match next year, you will not be cruel to your giant. Do the same as I am doing with you.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The dragon gladly accepted. __________________________________________________________________

Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us
Good morning, everyone! I’m glad to stand here and the topic of my speech is “Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us”.
We all know cultural heritage, which includes ancient buildings, natural scenery and the wisdom of ancestors, is the essence of our culture. It can be a reflection of society, creativity and historic moments. Through the cultural heritage, we can have a connect ion to certain social values and customs. Therefore, each of us has the responsibility to protect it. As for the specific measures, first, when visiting the historic sites, we should follow the rules to avoid destroying cultural heritage. Second, we should try our best to promote and pass on our cultural heritage in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.
读后续写
【答案】One possible version:
The dragon gladly accepted. Yonk kept his promise and he spent the entire year without flying or warming himself with the dragon’s fire breathing. The dragon also kept his promise and both did exactly the same every year afterwards. Yonk’s idea became so popular that, within just a few years, many giants and dragons were spending their days bowling together. They forgot about their battle s and cruelty and treated each other as friends rather than enemies.
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing. Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”. By putting a stop to the enslavement of dragons, he had ended their hatred and sowed the seeds of almost impossible peace between giants and dragons. Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.

【原文】
M: I bought this power-saving refrigerator here last month. But it turned out to waste more electricity. I need to return it unless you can give me a reasonable explanation.
W: I’m sorry, sir. Please allow us to check it first.
M: No problem. I spent a large amount of money on it, and I must say I’m really disappointed.
W: Sir, are you sure you were using it according to the instructions
M: Not really. Why ask
W: Because the power-saving function is not automatic. You see, there’s a small button here. You need to press it to enable the power-saving function. Now, do you still insist on returning it or would you like to give it another try
M: Oh, this is embarrassing. I was being stupid without reading the instructions. I’ll keep it.

【原文】
In 2014, Amazon released the world’s first voice-controlled “smart assistant”, called the Echo. It performed a variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music library of 2 million songs. Mattel’s Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child’s early years, and still be useful until around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits.

58．考查形容词。句意：同时，你需要培养批判性思维能力，这样你就不会盲目接受新的想法。根据空格后的名词skills可知，空格处应填形容词作定语，根据句意“批判性的”是critical。故填critical。

Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us
Good morning, everyone! I’m glad to stand here and the topic of my speech is “Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us”.
We all know cultural heritage, which includes ancient buildings, natural scenery and the wisdom of ancestors, is the essence of our culture. It can be a reflection of society, creativity and historic moments. Through the cultural heritage, we can have a connection to certain social values and customs. Therefore, each of us has the responsibility to protect it. As for the specific measures, first, when visiting the historic sites, we should follow the rules to avoid destroying cultural heritage. Second, we should try our best to promote and pass on our cultural heritage in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.

【答案】One possible version:
The dragon gladly accepted. Yonk kept his promise and he spent the entire year without flying or warming himself with the dragon’s fire breathing. The dragon also kept his promise and both did exactly the same every year afterwards. Yonk’s idea became so popular that, within just a few years, many giants and dragons were spending their days bowling together. They forgot about their battles and cruelty and treated each other as friends rather than enemies.
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing. Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”. By putting a stop to the enslavement of dragons, he had ended their hatred and sowed the seeds of almost impossible peace between giants and dragons. Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了巨人和龙之间化敌为友的故事：很久很久以前，巨人和龙每年都举行保龄球比赛，谁输了，谁就成为胜利者的奴隶，年复一年，赢家愈发残酷，输家不堪重负，巨人扬克害怕输了被奴役，所以他想终止仇恨，播下和平的种子，于是和他的奴隶龙约法三章：龙不必当奴隶，教龙打保龄球，条件是来年赢了比赛要和善对待输家，这种想法在几年内变得流行，扬克不再害怕输掉比赛，因为他和他的龙奴隶已经成为朋友。
【详解】1．段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“龙欣然接受了”可知，第一段可描写扬克与他的龙奴之间约法三章以终止仇恨建立和平关系，这个想法慢慢在其他的巨人和龙之间流行起来，开始有友谊的迹象。
②由第二段首句内容“很久以后，扬克输掉了他的第一场保龄球比赛，但他不再害怕输了。”可知，第二段可描写扬克确信他和他的“龙奴隶”已经化敌为友，结束了他们的仇恨，播下了几乎不可能实现的和平的种子。
2．续写线索：彼此遵守承诺——想法流行起来——人龙化敌为友——Yonk不惧怕输了比赛——确信和平已建立——感悟
3．词汇激活
行为类
①流行起来：become popular / gain popularity
②使……结束：end sth/bring sth to an end
③察觉到，意识到：feel/perceive
情绪类
①高兴地：gladly / merrily
②害怕的：afraid/ scared
【点睛】[高分句型1]．Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”.（运用了because引导原因状语从句和that引导的宾语从句，以及since引导的原因状语从句）
[高分句型2]．Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.（动名词作主语，由关系代词who引导限制性定语从句）

Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng, a retired Tibetan couple, have become trailblazers（开拓者） of grape growing and wine making in their old ages.
Lu Sheng learned grape planting and wine making from her grandmother’s sister. Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region’s capital, which is 3,600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes, Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.
They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and the economy. The couple’s project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.
“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high - altitude and open- air planting,” Lu Sheng said.
“Thanks to the plateau’s sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin（花青素）content,” she said. Anthocyanins, which are in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine, are water- soluble（水溶性的）.
In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting on nearly 6.67 hectares. In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and wine making, they taught the skills to local villagers.
“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,” Hua Sheng said.
Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which has contributed to her income and quality of life. “After working in the vineyards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now. We love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier.”
24．What did the couple do after their retirement
A．They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.
B．They made friends with a French expert.
C．They moved to another city from Lhasa.
D．They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng’s grandmother.
25．Why was the couple’s project thought of as a poverty relief program
A．They donated grapes to local schools.

You may not realize it, but your day goes around plants. It’s not just mercial plants are used in everything from medicine to food, paper, bioplastics, and other products. However, as global climate change intensifies, growing many of these plants will be a major challenge. Massive heatwaves and droughts are already affecting farmers: Over the next three decades, California’s San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535,000 acres of farmland as a result of shrinking water supplies.
Jennifer Brophy, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, wants to help solve that problem. In order to push plants to respond to extreme climates, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits（基因回路）”. In addition to changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are activated. If the plant senses a specific sugar or agrichemical, it can express one protein; if it senses another signal, it’ll express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may be able to express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,” she says.
“A plant doesn’t necessarily know what’s coming. It just knows if it’s hot or temperate（温和的） right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when the weather becomes unstable. A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there are a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures plummet again, the flowers die, which ruins a year’s crops. “It’d be great to be able to communicate with plants and tell them, ‘Hey, you should wait on that flowering,’” she adds. Controlling plants’ growth at this level is exciting, but actually putting it into practice is a long way off. At the moment, Brophy is testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis. She’s still early in the process of figuring out how to activate certain genes on command. While the research is in its early stages, it may help pave the way for the next generation of farming.
28．What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning San Joaquin Valley
A．To prove the necessity of growing more plants.
B．To point out the barrier to increasing water supplies.
C．To show the harmful effect of climate change on farming.
D．To tell the root cause of intensified global climate change.
29．What’s the expected function of genetic circuits
A．Predicting plants’ response to different inputs. B．Increasing the attractiveness of commercial plants.
C．Providing more energy for plants out of season. D．Controlling plants’ growth on demand.
30．What does the underlined word “plummet” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Rise. B．Steady. C．Drop. D．Permit.
31．What does the author think of Brophy’s research
A．Unpractical. B．Meaningful. C．Representative. D．Comprehensive.
D
As we work to ease biodiversity losses and seek to reduce climate change, restoration is an important part of the global solution. But while it is widely understood that ecosystem restoration is the right thing to do, there is far less understanding of what exactly it means, and how it is to be achieved.
One of the most obvious misunderstandings about ecosystem restoration is that it is all about action, especially planting trees. It is important to understand that forest and woodland ecosystems are not the only crucial environments to restore. Ecosystem restoration consists of a huge range of different systems, from farmland soils and grassland systems to our seas and oceans.
Ecosystem restoration is not always about actively intervening（介入）. In many instances, passive intervention can be just as effective, if not more so, than active. This involves simply letting nature take the reins. In short, in ecosystem restoration, what we don’t do can be as important as what we do. Often nature already has the answers. But there are situations in which humans have damaged the environment to such a degree that natural restoration is impossible. This is when carefully designed action is required.
Another key thing to remember is that we cannot succeed in ecosystem restoration without local people’s involvement or, ideally, their leadership. When a community feels a sense of belonging and a deep connection with the land, this provides a firm foundation for future conservation and restoration work.
While I dislike taking an overly human-centered view, environmental issues cannot be separated in our complex modern world from socio-economic ones. We need to look at people and the planet as a whole and appreciate the complex web of human life and its interaction with the natural world in order to form practical restoration solutions. It is important to understand how nature can thrive（繁荣） and still provide humans with the things we need. It is only when we consider the natural environment and human society as interconnected that we can really continue to make progress.
32．Which shows the right understanding of ecosystem restoration
A．Ecosystem restoration involves a variety of systems.
B．Direct action on forest ecosystems should be avoided.
C．Community-led efforts should be reduced.
D．The more trees we plant, the better ecosystems will be.
33．In what case active intervention is often a must
A．Active intervention can improve the local economy
B．The cost of passive intervention is high.
C．A large population relies on natural resources.
D．Nature fails to restore itself.
34．According to Paragraph 5, what should be done to make practical restoration plans
A．To learn from developed countries.
B．To take both social factors and nature into account.
C．To make a study of local natural resources.
D．To put environmental protection first.
35．What is mainly talked about in the text
A．What challenge people face in ecosystem restoration.
B．How people can benefit from ecosystem restoration.
C．How to repair damaged ecosystems more effectively.
D．Why ecosystem restoration becomes urgent.

Health Care Workers Getting Panic Buttons
Hundreds of health care workers at Cox Medical Center in Missouri will soon be equipped with personal panic buttons, following over a year of increased violence against staff members. The pandemic （流行病）, the medical center said, has greatly 41 the rise of the number of attacks and the very device comes at the right time to the rescue.
A medical worker, once experiencing an attack, can press the button attached to his working ID card to activate a personal 42 system and warn the security department—an instant pop-up 43 will appear on hospital computers, showing the worker’s exact location.
The panic buttons are being 44 among scores of staff members working in “high-risk areas” of Cox Medical Center. The hospital promises, if there are positive results, to 45 the program to hundreds of employees. And the system is expected to be 46 at the end of the year.
Those buttons are 47 backed by the Skaggs Foundationa, charity in Missouri, which has offered the hospital a big grant. “This project helps maintain our No.1 resource—our health care workers, the number of whom has 48 so much,” Nita Jane Ayres, Chairman of the foundation, said.
Alan Butler, Cox Health’s system director, agreed the buttons were a（n） 49 tool in the battle to keep the staff safe. The entire number of attacks on staff by patients has risen from 40 in 2019 to 123 in 2020, and total injuries rocketed from 17 to 78.
50 , even those numbers scarcely paint the full picture. Angie Smith, the medical center’s patient safety facilitator, said that many workplace violence events went 51 because “staff don’t feel like they will be supported or don’t feel like they will be able to do anything about it.” “The 52 parts of being in health care now are not only being able to give excellent care to your patients”, she said, “but also feeling 53 yourself as their caregiver.”
54 , workplace violence in medical centers deserved our attention even before the pandemic. A survey of thousands of emergency physicians found that nearly half of the participants had undergone attacks while working, and roughly ninety - seven percent of those were 55 by patients.

An impossible peace
Once upon a time, on a piece of land there lived giants and dragons, who had been enemies for years on end. However, after years of bloody fights, they had learned a lot. They were no longer so foolish as to wage wars with terrible battles in which thousands died. Now, every year they held bowling matches instead. A giant competed against a dragon. Whoever lost would become the winner’s slave. If a dragon won, he could use the giant’s muscles for all that heavy lifting. If a giant won, he would have free flights and fire for the whole year.
That was how they prevented their deaths and yet with the match going round and round, they hated each other more and more. Every year the winners were so cruel to the losers, in revenge（报复） for the time they had lost. The losers would be at the mercy of the winners, giants tired from lifting loads while dragons worn out from constant flying and breathing fire. There came a time when what mattered most was not winning the bowling match, but not losing.
Yonk the Giant was the best bowler, and the most afraid. He had never lost. Many dragons had been his slaves and they were dying to see him lose so they could get their revenge. This was why Yonk was terrified of losing. Especially since last year’s match, when he missed his first ever strike, he had decided that something had to change.
The following year he won again. When he arrived home, his slave dragon feared the worst but Yonk did nothing bad to him, for he had a different idea in mind.
“This year you will not be my slave. We will go bowling and I will teach you all of my techniques and secrets. But you must promise me one thing: when you win your match next year, you will not be cruel to your giant. Do the same as I am doing with you.”

Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us
Good morning, everyone! I’m glad to stand here and the topic of my speech is “Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us”.
We all know cultural heritage, which includes ancient buildings, natural scenery and the wisdom of ancestors, is the essence of our culture. It can be a reflection of society, creativity and historic moments. Through the cultural heritage, we can have a connect ion to certain social values and customs. Therefore, each of us has the responsibility to protect it. As for the specific measures, first, when visiting the historic sites, we should follow the rules to avoid destroying cultural heritage. Second, we should try our best to promote and pass on our cultural heritage in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.
读后续写
【答案】One possible version:
The dragon gladly accepted. Yonk kept his promise and he spent the entire year without flying or warming himself with the dragon’s fire breathing. The dragon also kept his promise and both did exactly the same every year afterwards. Yonk’s idea became so popular that, within just a few years, many giants and dragons were spending their days bowling together. They forgot about their battle s and cruelty and treated each other as friends rather than enemies.
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing. Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”. By putting a stop to the enslavement of dragons, he had ended their hatred and sowed the seeds of almost impossible peace between giants and dragons. Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.

In 2014, Amazon released the world’s first voice-controlled “smart assistant”, called the Echo. It performed a variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music library of 2 million songs. Mattel’s Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child’s early years, and still be useful until around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits.

语法填空（每题1.5分，共15分）
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于人们应该如何保持不断前进的三个建议。
【解答】
56．考查冠词。句意：首先，终身学习是一种态度。attitude虽为不可数名词，此处为抽象名词具体化用法，此处表示泛指，attitude发音是以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an。故填an。
57．考查形容词。句意：要客观，让自己接受新的知识和想法。根据空格前的be可知，空格处应填形容词作表语，根据句意“客观的”是objective。故填objective。
58．考查形容词。句意：同时，你需要培养批判性思维能力，这样你就不会盲目接受新的想法。根据空格后的名词skills可知，空格处应填形容词作定语，根据句意“批判性的”是critical。故填critical。
59．考查副词。句意：相反，你应该进一步询问，以了解你被告知的真相。空格处修饰动词inquire，作状语，应用副词形式。故填further。
60．考查介词。句意：其次，利用终身学习的机会——例如，你应该在线注册并订阅近年来越来越受欢迎的电子学习课程。subscribe to为固定短语，意为“订阅”。故填to。
61．考查副词。句意：其次，利用终身学习的机会——例如，你应该在线注册并订阅近年来越来越受欢迎的电子学习课程。空格处修饰形容词popular，作状语，应用副词形式。故填increasingly。

63．考查情态动词的被动语态。句意：最后，要明白，仅仅知道一些事情或理解你所知道的是不够的，因为知识要有具体的价值，就必须加以应用。空格处和情态动词must构成谓语，主语it和谓语动词apply之间为被动关系，应用情态动词的被动语态。故填be applied。
64．考查介词。句意：重要的是，在应用后，必须遵循分析、评估和改进的审查过程，这样你对世界的理解才能成为一个持续的过程。根据空格后的名词短语its application可知，空格处应填介词，表示“在……之后”应用after，介词短语 after its application在句中作状语。故填after。
65．考查名词。句意：重要的是，在应用后，必须遵循分析、评估和改进的审查过程，这样你对世界的理解力才能成为一个持续的过程。根据空格前的代词your可知，空格处应填名词在从句中作主语，根据句意“理解力”是comprehension，为不可数名词。故填comprehension。

Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us
Good morning, everyone! I’m glad to stand here and the topic of my speech is “Let’s protect the cultural heritage around us”.
We all know cultural heritage, which includes ancient buildings, natural scenery and the wisdom of ancestors, is the essence of our culture. It can be a reflection of society, creativity and historic moments. Through the cultural heritage, we can have a connection to certain social values and customs. Therefore, each of us has the responsibility to protect it. As for the specific measures, first, when visiting the historic sites, we should follow the rules to avoid destroying cultural heritage. Second, we should try our best to promote and pass on our cultural heritage in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.
读后续写
【答案】One possible version:
The dragon gladly accepted. Yonk kept his promise and he spent the entire year without flying or warming himself with the dragon’s fire breathing. The dragon also kept his promise and both did exactly the same every year afterwards. Yonk’s idea became so popular that, within just a few years, many giants and dragons were spending their days bowling together. They forgot about their battles and cruelty and treated each other as friends rather than enemies.
Much later Yonk lost his first bowling match but he was no longer afraid of losing. Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”. By putting a stop to the enslavement of dragons, he had ended their hatred and sowed the seeds of almost impossible peace between giants and dragons. Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了巨人和龙之间化敌为友的故事：很久很久以前，巨人和龙每年都举行保龄球比赛，谁输了，谁就成为胜利者的奴隶，年复一年，赢家愈发残酷，输家不堪重负，巨人扬克害怕输了被奴役，所以他想终止仇恨，播下和平的种子，于是和他的奴隶龙约法三章：龙不必当奴隶，教龙打保龄球，条件是来年赢了比赛要和善对待输家，这种想法在几年内变得流行，扬克不再害怕输掉比赛，因为他和他的龙奴隶已经成为朋友。
【详解】1．段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“龙欣然接受了”可知，第一段可描写扬克与他的龙奴之间约法三章以终止仇恨建立和平关系，这个想法慢慢在其他的巨人和龙之间流行起来，开始有友谊的迹象。
②由第二段首句内容“很久以后，扬克输掉了他的第一场保龄球比赛，但他不再害怕输了。”可知，第二段可描写扬克确信他和他的“龙奴隶”已经化敌为友，结束了他们的仇恨，播下了几乎不可能实现的和平的种子。
2．续写线索：彼此遵守承诺——想法流行起来——人龙化敌为友——Yonk不惧怕输了比赛——确信和平已建立——感悟
3．词汇激活
行为类
①流行起来：become popular / gain popularity
②使……结束：end sth/bring sth to an end
③察觉到，意识到：feel/perceive
情绪类
①高兴地：gladly / merrily
②害怕的：afraid/ scared
【点睛】[高分句型1]．Because he knew in his heart that there would be no more revenge since he had been friends with his “dragon slaves”.（运用了because引导原因状语从句和that引导的宾语从句，以及since引导的原因状语从句）
[高分句型2]．Building true peace requires those who feel they have the right to attack to take steps towards forgiveness and understanding.（动名词作主语，由关系代词who引导限制性定语从句）
