They call America’s Got Talent the biggest stage in the world, and I definitely felt like it that day last April. I stood on that huge, brightly lit stage in California. As I stared out at the audience of thousands, it hit me that this moment could change my life forever.
I’d always loved to sing and had already signed up for the school talent show in fourth grade when I started stuttering (结巴). I went from being a carefree 10-year-old to a shy one. I was afraid of speaking in class, ordering at restaurants, and even introducing myself. So I decided to practise over and over again. To my astonishment, the words came smoothly when I sang. My stutter disappeared. I felt so free onstage performing in the talent show.
By the summer I was 16, one afternoon I started practising my guitar at home. On the spot, I wrote a song I called “I Will Trust”. I sang about how lost I felt. The next day, I filmed a video of myself performing the song and posted it on YouTube. Hundreds of complete strangers left comments that I had cheered them up with my music.
Then I signed up for the America’s Got Talent audition (试镜). When I finished, the judges and the whole crowd were on their feet. I couldn’t believe it! Judge Cowell told me I had a pure and beautiful voice. When introducing myself to the judges and audience, I stammered my name, Amanda, and then my age, 18. “As you can probably tell…” I explained, “I have a bit of a speech stutter... But I found that I don’t stutter when I sing.”
I couldn’t hold back my tears. My stutter made me shy and fearful, but I was given the gift to speak through my music. My wildest dreams were coming true, dreams I’d never thought possible.
4. What amazed Amanda during singing practice in Paragraph 2
A. The beautiful voice. B. Her fluent singing.
C. The lucky encounter. D. Her brave performance.
5. What did strangers think of her video on YouTube
A. Ordinary. B. Awful. C. Inspiring. D. Relaxing.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Committed and warmhearted. B. Social and easygoing.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Determined and courageous.
7. Why did the author cry in the end
A. She finally overcame her stutter. B. She was moved by the audience online.
C. She was content with her smooth speech. D. She found a new way to express herself.
C
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
A new book Writing For Busy Readers makes the argument for being the careful kind of writer even in informal messages. It lays out the data for sharp, simple writing.
Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behavioural scientists, both at Harvard. Their “Writing For Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. People are filled constantly with messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message reminder. What to read, what to skim and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens, or even hundreds of times a day.
The authors present well-established principles that have long been prized in guide s to writing including The Economist’s style book: cut unnecessary words, choose words everyone knows and keep sentences simple.
Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well suggest cutting off needless words. However, in Writing for Busy People, the authors have tested the principles. For example, in an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the length from 127 to 49 words almost doubled the response rate (from 2.7% to 4.8%).
The researchers found that a longer message makes recipients (收件人) think the task (such as filling out a survey) will take longer, too. Writers must sometimes choose to be informal but effective instead of sympathetic but ignored. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes, shares and so on. From essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has evident benefits. If you are so busy that you write a badly-organized message that readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not written it at all.
8. What is the purpose of the question in Paragraph 1
A. To raise people’s interest in simple writing. B. To correct the old view about text messages.
C. To reveal the negative effects of messages. D. To improve the texting skills of people.
9. What can be inferred about Writing for Busy People
A. It emphasizes the importance of timely messages.
B. It brings evidence on the well-established principles.
C. It was written by a well-known author Todd Rogers.
D. It was once published in the magazine The Economist.
10. What does the author want to show
A. Brief writing gains few popularity. B. Messages are too short to understand.
C. People tend to overlook long messages. D. Sympathetic messages get many responses.
11. What does the passage mainly focus on
A. How to write effectively. B. When to text messages.
C. The languages used in writing. D. The methods of sending emails.
D
A recent study reveals about 68 percent of Gen Z adults and 20 percent of millennials (千禧一代) are choosing to remain with their families. This represents the largest generational shares among all age groups. Furthermore, the study estimates that 51 million individuals are currently living in multi-generational households.
What’s perhaps more surprising is that these young adults don’t anticipate leaving their for at homes. Both millennials (47%) and Gen Zers (41%) expect to continue living with their families for at least another two years. So what are the reasons behind young adults staying at home
The reasons behind young adults staying at home are diverse but mainly come down to financial or health-related circumstances. The data suggests that the average millennial, living with a family member at the age of 32, shares their home with three or four other people. Many of them work in food services, construction, or education.
Compared to previous generations, millennials are slower to leave the nest, with 18 percent of baby boomers and 17 percent of Gen X having lived with their parents at the same age as today’s millennials. Several other factors could also explain this generational difference. Younger generations may find it financially advantageous to stay with family to economize on expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, or future down payments. Additionally, the increasing number of Millennials and Gen Zers choosing to care for family members may contribute to this trend.
When it comes to the areas with the highest percentages of multigenerational households, Los Angeles stands out, with 35 percent of its millennials and 81 percent of Gen Z residents still living with family members. The high living expense of living in this big city, which is 51 percent above the national average, makes it difficult for young adults to struggle on their own. California’s Riverside area with 35 percent of millennials and 85 percent of Gen Zers remaining at home follows closely while New York rank the third place, with 28 percent of millennials in the Big Apple living in multigenerational households.
12. What can we learn about young adults from the study
A. They need the attention of their families. B. They seek financial support from families.
C. It is hard for them to face the changing world. D. It is common for them to attend to their parents.
13. Which of the following words can replace “economize” in Paragraph 4
A. Save. B. Count. C. Insist. D. Decide.
14. What makes it hard for young adults in Los Angeles to move out
A. Working pressure. B. Stress from childcare.
C. Complex social network. D. The high cost of living.
15. What could be the most suitable title of the text
A Growing Concerns over Young Adults
B. Various Reasons for Millennial Anxiety
C. More Young Adults Choose to Live with Families
D. Young Adults Struggle to Deal With New Challenges

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。
I’d just returned from a beautiful fall early-morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn’t have them, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I would surely spot them in plain sight.
My little dog ran in excitement that we would do a repeat of our just-finished outing. I spent an hour looking but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but in vain.
At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch in exhaustion. At my age, one trip is usually plenty! I began to take key inventory(库存). The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but it was temperamental(不可靠的), and the key ring would be expensive to replace. The iron heart decoration made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. For some reason, thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes. But life is too short to agonize(折磨)over these things, I reminded myself.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow shower. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening.
It was peaceful until I heard the horrible screech of my car alarm bursting from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted(插入)the temperamental key in the door and finally opened it, and then started it until the alarm stopped.
Back in the house, I waited uneasily, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Assuming it was a neighbor ready to be angry with me, I opened the door slowly and turned on the light with apologies ready.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the snow stood a smiling neighbor, with my keys hanging from her finger.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was amazed by her cleverness and couldn’t wait to thank her.

The next day, I filmed a video of myself performing the song and posted it on YouTube. Hundreds of complete strangers left comments that I had cheered them up with my music.
Then I signed up for the America’s Got Talent audition (试镜). When I finished, the judges and the whole crowd were on their feet. I couldn’t believe it! Judge Cowell told me I had a pure and beautiful voice. When introducing myself to the judges and audience, I stammered my name, Amanda, and then my age, 18. “As you can probably tell…” I explained, “I have a bit of a speech stutter... But I found that I don’t stutter when I sing.”
I couldn’t hold back my tears. My stutter made me shy and fearful, but I was given the gift to speak through my music. My wildest dreams were coming true, dreams I’d never thought possible.

Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in crafting even the simplest message.
A new book Writing For Busy Readers makes the argument for being the careful kind of writer, even in informal messages. It lays out the data for sharp, simple writing.
Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behavioural scientists, both at Harvard. Their “Writing For Busy Readers” is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. People are filled constantly with messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message reminder. What to read, what to skim and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens, or even hundreds of times a day.
The authors present well-established principles that have long been prized in guide s to writing including The Economist’s style book: cut unnecessary words, choose words everyone knows and keep sentences simple.
Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well suggest cutting off needless words. However, in Writing for Busy People, the authors have tested the principles. For example, in an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the length from 127 to 49 words almost doubled the response rate (from 2.7% to 4.8%).
The researchers found that a longer message makes recipients (收件人) think the task (such as filling out a survey) will take longer, too. Writers must sometimes choose to be informal but effective instead of sympathetic but ignored. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes, shares and so on. From essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has evident benefits. If you are so busy that you write a badly-organized message that readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not written it at all.
8. What is the purpose of the question in Paragraph 1
A. To raise people’s interest in simple writing. B. To correct the old view about text messages.
C. To reveal the negative effects of messages. D. To improve the texting skills of people.
9. What can be inferred about Writing for Busy People
A. It emphasizes the importance of timely messages.
B. It brings evidence on the well-established principles.
C. It was written by a well-known author Todd Rogers.
D. It was once published in the magazine The Economist.
10. What does the author want to show
A. Brief writing gains few popularity. B. Messages are too short to understand.
C. People tend to overlook long messages. D. Sympathetic messages get many responses.
11. What does the passage mainly focus on
A. How to write effectively. B. When to text messages.
C. The languages used in writing. D. The methods of sending emails.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A

If you are so busy that you write a badly-organized message that readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not written it at all. (从论文到安排晚餐计划的短信，花时间满足读者的需求有明显的好处。如果你太忙了，以至于你写了一封组织混乱的邮件，让读者浏览、忽略和删除，那么你还不如根本不写。)”结合文章主要说明了Writing for Busy People一书中说明一些写作的原则，指出人们总是被各种信息填满，从邮箱到收件箱再到短信提醒。读什么，略读什么，忽略什么，几乎每个人每天都要做几十次，甚至几百次的决定。因此如何有效地写作变得很重要。可推知，这篇文章的重点是如何有效地写作。故选A。

A recent study reveals about 68 percent of Gen Z adults and 20 percent of millennials (千禧一代) are choosing to remain with their families. This represents the largest generational shares among all age groups. Furthermore, the study estimates that 51 million individuals are currently living in multi-generational households.
What’s perhaps more surprising is that these young adults don’t anticipate leaving their for at homes. Both millennials (47%) and Gen Zers (41%) expect to continue living with their families for at least another two years. So what are the reasons behind young adults staying at home
The reasons behind young adults staying at home are diverse but mainly come down to financial or health-related circumstances. The data suggests that the average millennial, living with a family member at the age of 32, shares their home with three or four other people. Many of them work in food services, construction, or education.
Compared to previous generations, millennials are slower to leave the nest, with 18 percent of baby boomers and 17 percent of Gen X having lived with their parents at the same age as today’s millennials. Several other factors could also explain this generational difference. Younger generations may find it financially advantageous to stay with family to economize on expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, or future down payments. Additionally, the increasing number of Millennials and Gen Zers choosing to care for family members may contribute to this trend.
When it comes to the areas with the highest percentages of multigenerational households, Los Angeles stands out, with 35 percent of its millennials and 81 percent of Gen Z residents still living with family members. The high living expense of living in this big city, which is 51 percent above the national average, makes it difficult for young adults to struggle on their own. California’s Riverside area with 35 percent of millennials and 85 percent of Gen Zers remaining at home follows closely while New York rank the third place, with 28 percent of millennials in the Big Apple living in multigenerational households.
12. What can we learn about young adults from the study
A. They need the attention of their families. B. They seek financial support from families.
C. It is hard for them to face the changing world. D. It is common for them to attend to their parents.
13. Which of the following words can replace “economize” in Paragraph 4
A. Save. B. Count. C. Insist. D. Decide.
14. What makes it hard for young adults in Los Angeles to move out
A. Working pressure. B. Stress from childcare.
C. Complex social network. D. The high cost of living.
15. What could be the most suitable title of the text
A. Growing Concerns over Young Adults
B. Various Reasons for Millennial Anxiety
C. More Young Adults Choose to Live with Families
D. Young Adults Struggle to Deal With New Challenges
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了越来越多的年轻人选择和家人住在一起的社会现象，也许更令人惊讶的是，这些年轻人并不打算离开他们的家。文章分析了这一现象背后的原因和各个地区多代同堂家庭的比例情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The reasons behind young adults staying at home are diverse but mainly come down to financial or health-related circumstances. (年轻人呆在家里的原因多种多样，但主要归结为经济或健康状况)”以及第四段“Younger generations may find it financially advantageous to stay with family to economize on expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, or future down payments.(年轻一代可能会发现和家人呆在一起在经济上是有利的，这样可以节省诸如儿童保育、电费、房租或未来的首付等费用)”可知，年轻人寻求家庭的经济支持。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Younger generations may find it financially advantageous to stay with family”以及后文“on expenses such as childcare, electric bills, rent, or future down payments”可知，年轻一代和家人呆在一起在经济上是有利的，因为这样可以节省诸如儿童保育、电费、房租或未来的首付等费用。故划线词意思是“节约”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“When it comes to the areas with the highest percentages of multigenerational households, Los Angeles stands out, with 35 percent of its millennials and 81 percent of Gen Z residents still living with family members. The high living expense of living in this big city, which is 51 percent above the national average, makes it difficult for young adults to struggle on their own.(当谈到多代同堂家庭比例最高的地区时，洛杉矶脱颖而出，35%的千禧一代和81%的Z世代居民仍然与家人住在一起。生活在这个大城市的生活费用很高，比全国平均水平高出51%，这使得年轻人很难自力更生)”可知，生活成本高让洛杉矶的年轻人很难搬出去。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study reveals about 68 percent of Gen Z adults and 20 percent of millennials(千禧一代)are choosing to remain with their families. This represents the largest generational shares among all age groups.

考查介词。句意：李庄是一个位于长江边的古老村落，有着1000多年的历史，是燕的发源地。表示“有……的历史”短语为with…history。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，由于政治原因，该村一直“隐藏”在中国历史中，直到21世纪初。修饰名词reasons应用形容词political，故填political。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：李庄被认为是中国传统建筑的博物馆，有40多座建于明清时期的寺庙。短语be considered as表示“被认为是”，句子的主语Li Zhuang和动词consider之间是被动关系，此处过去分词作状语，首字母大写。故填Considered。

考查冠词。句意：因此，这个村庄在中国传统建筑史上扮演着重要的角色，吸引了许多建筑师。表示“在……扮演着重要的角色”短语为play an important role in。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：著名建筑师梁思成和林徽因所著的《中国建筑史》提到了李庄的许多古建筑。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The History of Chinese Architecture，关系词在从句作主语，指物，故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：例如，建于1596年的罗宣殿是一座全木结构的寺庙，是中国传统建筑结构的完美典范。修饰形容词wood-structured应用副词completely，故填completely。

考查非谓语动词。句意：20世纪40年代，当日本入侵中国时，这个村庄做出了一个伟大的决定，邀请了无处可去的中国顶尖大学。表示“没有地方做某事”短语为have no place to do sth.，用不定式作定语。故填to move。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：20世纪40年代，李庄在学术上取得了不少成就。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据上文During 1940s可知为一般过去时的被动语态，主语为quite a few academic achievements，谓语用复数。故填were made。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：近十年来，这个古老的村庄在中国正史上崭露头角。根据上文In the recent ten years可知为现在完成时，主语为this ancient village，助动词用has。故填has arose。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：虽然它现在还很安静，但很快就会吸引大量的游客。根据上文numerous可知tourist应用复数形式。故填tourists。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
I’d just returned from a beautiful fall early-morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the keys. When I discovered I didn’t have them, I decided to return to the paths we’d taken. I would surely spot them in plain sight.
My little dog ran in excitement that we would do a repeat of our just-finished outing. I spent an hour looking but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace our steps, but in vain.
At home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the couch in exhaustion. At my age, one trip is usually plenty! I began to take key inventory(库存). The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but it was temperamental(不可靠的), and the key ring would be expensive to replace. The iron heart decoration made by my grandson was precious beyond measure. For some reason, thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes. But life is too short to agonize(折磨)over these things, I reminded myself.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow shower. I enjoyed a comfort-food dinner, played soft music, and settled into a peaceful evening.
It was peaceful until I heard the horrible screech of my car alarm bursting from the garage. I rushed to the car, inserted(插入)the temperamental key in the door and finally opened it, and then started it until the alarm stopped.
Back in the house, I waited uneasily, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Assuming it was a neighbor ready to be angry with me, I opened the door slowly and turned on the light with apologies ready.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

In the snow stood a smiling neighbor, with my keys hanging from her finger.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was amazed by her cleverness and couldn’t wait to thank her.

【答案】范文
In the snow stood a smiling neighbor, with my keys hanging from her finger. One of them held out her hand with my keys in it and a big smile on her face! I wanted to hug her to express my deepest gratitude, but because of COVID-19, all I could do was say, “Oh, my goodness! Thank you!” She told me that my car key had an alarm button, and they kept pressing it until they found my home. I took the keys in my hands and thanked them again and again.
I was amazed by her cleverness and couldn’t wait to thank her. Before she and the other neighbors waved goodbye and disappeared into the evening snow, she said, “It’s not a big deal. We are so happy to help. You would have done the same thing!” I don’t think I would have done the same thing! Pressing the alarm until I heard a car alarm would not have occurred to me. I was astonished by her clever kindness and wished I could have hugged her. Instead, I hugged the keys.
