Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children — but it wasn’t until classes moved online due to COVID-19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact. That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer. And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.
Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019-2020 school year by the time Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.
“These kids who relied on me being there for them had suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said. “When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron.”
The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson’s email address and home address to the school’s online directory (通讯录), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson. Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.
Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students’ days and his own.
“I am happy to listen to the kids’ problems as well,” Jacobson said. “I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids’ attitudes.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson — a Vietnam veteran (老兵) — by naming him a spokesman for their campaign——StillServing, which shows many ways America’s veterans continue serving even after leaving the army.
“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队). I’m still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.
It’s just that they are 75 years younger than he is.
9. How did the school react to the school kids’ requests
A. It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.
B. It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.
C. It showed every student’s email address.
D. It offered Jacobson’s contact information.
10. Why was veteran Jacobson regarded a spokesman for StillServing
A He still served in the army. B. He trained many volunteers.
C He continued to serve others. D. He encouraged kids to serve.
11. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to
A. School teachers. B. Vietnam veterans.
C. Local school kids. D. Young volunteers.

The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes, and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.
The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.
As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece of plastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.
Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.
12. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night
A. They dislike sunshine.
B. They prefer lower temperatures.
C. They can find food easily then.
D. They need to avoid enemies.
13. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3
A. Pitiful. B. Careless.
C. Interesting. D. Courageous.
14. What can we learn about sea turtles
A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.
B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces.
C. They can live for around forty years.
D. They visit their beach homes several times a year.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. The homes of green sea turtles.
B. How sea turtles find their food.
C. The dangers faced by sea turtles.
D. How young turtles become adults.

47. 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。
As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice’s birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he’d seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he tied a bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately.
The sun was high overhead. The weather was hot and nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. Tony struggled to climb the trees to pick mangoes, though he fell off many times.
His efforts were sometimes rewarded when a mango dropped into the bag. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
2. 续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1：
Tony rushed back to Honey House, out of breath, only to find the owner of the store was going to close the door.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table.

【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段内容“Over the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children (在过去的十年里，Grandpa Ron，正如学生们所称呼的那样，每年都自愿和当地学校的孩子们在一起上千个小时)”可知，Jacobson在离开军队后，一直在学校做志愿者，和当地的孩子们生活在一起。再结合画线单词所在句“75 years younger than he is (比他年轻75岁)”可知，句中“they”代指的人要比Jacobson年轻75岁，由此可知，“they”代指的应该是上文提到的“local school children(当地学校的孩子们)”。故选C项。
C
The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes, and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.
The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.
As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece of plastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles.

Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes, and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night”可知，相反，迎接它的是螃蟹、土狼和等着吃晚饭的狗。为了生存，小海龟必须藏在沙子里直到晚上。所以为什么小海龟在晚上奔向海里是因为它们需要避开敌人。故选D项。

All of these dangers must be prevented”可知，一只小海龟可能吃海洋里的塑料。它也可能吃海洋表面的石油。小海龟也会被渔网捕获。尽管如此,许多海龟因它们的肉和壳而被捕获。所有这些危险都必须加以预防。所以通过作者说明小海龟所遇到的各种危险。可以判断出，作者认为小海龟很可怜。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only place where she will lay eggs”可知，一只海龟妈妈会回到她出生的海滩。这是她唯一会产蛋的地方。所以关于海龟我们能了解到它们总是在出生地产蛋。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，小海龟一出生就面临着来自海洋和陆地捕食者的捕杀，在海洋中会误食人类排放的塑料和漂浮在海面上的石油以及会陷入人类设下的渔网。各种危险都需要预防。所以短文主要是关于小海龟所面临的危险。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当今为了快速发展经济做了很多以环保为代价的事情，并且给出了一些简单有效的方法来保护环境。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：本节目的主题是环境保护。分析句子可知，environmental 是形容词，后接名词成分作is的表语，protection是抽象名词，不可数。故填protection。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在过去的几年里，我们人类为了快速发展经济，做了很多以环境为代价的事情。分析句子可知，句中存在时间状语in the past few years，因此使用现在完成时，主语we是复数，助动词用have。故填have done。
38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：我确实认为现在是时候让我们了解保护环境的重要性，并为之做些什么。分析句子可知，importance是名词，前加冠词进行限定，作understand的宾语，且此处指的是保护环境和做些事情，为特指，因此使用定冠词the。故填the。

考查定语从句。句意：如果可能的话，我们甚至可以步行去上班，这对我们的预算和健康都很有帮助。分析句子可知，这是一个定语从句，先行成分是前面的句子We can even walk to work when possible，在从句中作主语，因此使用关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：第三，当我们去购物时，带一个布袋。分析句子可知，go shopping是固定搭配意为“去购物”。故填shopping。
【44题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：当然，公众应该提高环保意识，认识到保护环境是我们的责任。分析句子可知，句中真正的主语是不定式to protect the environment，因此使用代词it作形式主语指代真正的主语。故填it。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：最后但同样重要的是，政府应该制定法律来指导人们的行为。people's是形容词性成分作定语，后接名词，behaviour此处为抽象概念，不可数。故填behavior/behaviour。

第二节(满分15分)
47. 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。
As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice’s birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.
This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he’d seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house.
How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he tied a bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.
After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately.
The sun was high overhead. The weather was hot and nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. Tony struggled to climb the trees to pick mangoes, though he fell off many times.
His efforts were sometimes rewarded when a mango dropped into the bag. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
2. 续写部分分两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Tony rushed back to Honey House, out of breath, only to find the owner of the store was going to close the door.

Paragraph 2：
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：
Tony rushed back to Honey House, out of breath, only to find the owner of the store was going to close the door. Seeing Tony, he told him to come the next day. But Tony didn’t give up and explained all to the owner. Hearing Tony’s explanation, the owner opened the bag to check the mangoes. To Tony’s disappointment, they were not enough to exchange a lovely doll. He was walking out with tears rolling down his face when the owner stopped him and finally agreed because of his love for his sister. After giving many thanks, Tony got his sister a dream present.
Paragraph 2：
The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. She noticed a beautiful box on the table. Curious, she opened the box carefully. To her great surprise, she found the doll she had been dreaming of for a long time. When Tony said happy birthday to her, Alice couldn’t help crying and hugged him tightly. Touched by the warm atmosphere, their parents smiled with pleasure, knowing their son had grown up and was reliable enough to take care of his sister.
【解析】
