【参考范文】
Dear Jimmy，
You’re quite right about ordering meals online being popular in China，especially for people
who are too busy to cook．
I often order food online when my parents are at work，or when my family wants to try something
that tastes different．The best thing about it is that it’s convenient．One just needs to place an order and
pay for it online．Then，steaming-hot food arrives at your doorstep within an hour．Moreover，there
are many choices．We can order and taste diverse cuisines from various restaurants．It has also created
millions of jobs and boosted the catering industry．
Does it sound attractive？We can give it a try when you come to China！
Yours，
Li Hua

Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table．She
pulled it out，and saw the white initials J. J．in the top right-hand corner．“It’s Jinny’s music tape！”
She exclaimed．Laurie’s heart started beating fast．“All I’d have to do is forget that I found this，”
she thought．“If Jinny doesn’t have her music，she might as well not skate．And then I would win．”
Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this．Then she wondered，“Does winning mean so
much to me that I’d be willing to cheat for it？”She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly．
Feeling relieved，Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally
called her name．The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully．Her left
knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice．The audience applauded from time to time，
enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback．When she finished，her coach ran up to her and
hugged her．“You did it，Laurie！”She said．Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny’s music tape．“No
one will ever know how close I really came to losing．”She said softly to herself．

23．A 细节理解题。根据 Saver 部分、Standby Tickets 部分、Group Bookings 部分和 School

any practical value”“But now we’re determined”，Canlas 夫妇起初不确定这样的做法
是否有帮助，紧接着以 Camilla 为例说明收到一辆自行车让她的生活发生了积极的
改变，由此可推断，提到 Camilla 是为了证明 Canlas 夫妇的行为给他人的生活带来
了影响。
27．D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Now it is working on launching more sustainable
projects that will help more while also inspiring others to pay it forward．”可知，这一
基金会正致力于开展更多合理的项目以帮助更多的人，同时激励他人把这种善意
传播下去，再结合 Glennda 的“We live in a world where it takes courage to be kind”
“Our goal would be from‘courage to be kind’，and create a world where kindness
does not require courage—it is simply the thing we all do”可知，基金会的目标是把
善行变成不需要勇气就能做的事，让善行成为生活中的常态，故选 D。
C
语篇类型：议论文 主题语境：人与社会
【语篇导读】这篇议论文探讨了科技对人类交流的正反性。科技在为人类沟通和交流提供

COVID-19，in order to work on the projects，the students use their phones to reach their
teachers and classmates．”可知，第二段是从三个案例，即：商业中、社交媒体和新
冠疫情中，阐述了科技帮助人们构建和改善了新的交流技术。故选 B。

disconnected from others around when they were on their phones．’”可知发现的内容
是：60%的人在使用手机时感觉与周围的人隔绝。故选 A。

necessary communication skills．（毫无疑问，技术正在帮助人们建立新的、必要的沟
通技能。）”和第三段首句“However，technology is sometimes considered to disconnect
people from others around them．（然而，科技有时被认为切断了人们与周围人的联
系。）”可知，作者是从正反双方面分析了科技对人类交流产生的影响，因此作者的
态度是客观的。故选 C。
D
语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与自然
【语篇导读】猫和其他动物在夜晚眼睛就是“手电筒”及其背后的原因。
32．B 词义猜测题。根据文中“Species whose eyes glow have evolved to see better in low light

or they do most of their hunting at dawn and dusk．”这部分可知动物进化到在黑暗中看
得更清楚是为了捕猎。
33．C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Cats accomplish this because their pupils（瞳孔）
——the openings that appear black in the middle of their eyes that widen and narrow in
response to light conditions —are special．”可知猫的瞳孔可以变大变小。

A year after he died at 17．a young man’s love of helping others lives on through a foundation．The Benjamin Canlas Courage to be Kind Foundation gives away bikes to Filipinos who are struggling to hold on to jobs in a country undergoing difficult times．
Benjamin Canlas was always warm-hearted．One time, he saw a food seller riding an old bicycle．Its pedals were missing．To help, Benjamin let the man ride his bike and used his own savings to send the seller’s bike to a bicycle shop for restoration．
After Benjamin’s death, his parents George and Glennda Canlas created the foundation in memory of the young man and his kindness, seeing it as a way to connect donors with those in need．In the Philippines, many jobs have been lost this year．This has left thousands of Filipinos taking odd jobs．With restricted public transportation, many people have to walk for hours to do these jobs．
The Canlases had the idea to give away bikes to individuals nominated（提名）by their peers or loved ones．When the giveaway contest was announced on social media, they did not know how much interest there would be and planned to give away seven bicycles at first．But they received over 50 nominations．“We didn’t expect that, uncertain whether what we do is of any practical value,” said Glennda．“But now we’re determined.” One bike owner is Camilla, a mother of a 2-year-old．When her husband’s work was put on hold, she started selling and delivering food．Camilla said the bike was a big help and she was “ so happy” that she didn’t have to walk so far anymore．
Even as the contest ended, nominations continued to pour in．The foundation said there are people still in need. Now it is working on launching more sustainable projects that will help more while also inspiring others to pay it forward. “We live in a world where it takes courage to be kind,” said Glennda．“Our goal would be from ‘courage to be kind’, and create a world where kindness does not require courage—it is simply the thing we all do.”
24．What did Benjamin do after seeing the seller riding an old bike
A．He sent money to the seller
B．He had the old bike repaired．
C．He gave his own bike to the seller．
D．He bought a new bike to the seller．
25．The Canlases set up the foundation to ______．
A．continue their son’s wishes B．memorize Benjamin Canlas
C．connect donors with the poor D．help the unemployed get jobs
26．Why does the author mention Camilla
A．To show impacts of the country’s tough situation．
B．To appeal for attention to the people in need．
C．To illustrate being kind does require courage．
D．To state the difference made by the good deed．
27．What is the foundation aimed at now
A．Providing more bikes to the people in need．
B．Encouraging everyone to be courageous．
C．Initiating other sustainable organizations．
D．Turning kindness into a usual thing．
C
Technology is more than an abstract concept associated with advanced tools and systems．It also shapes the way people behave, grow and develop, both within their own lives and in their relationships with others．While technology has developed over thousands of years, the last century has seen an explosion in technology that has influenced fundamental changes in how humans see the world and interact with others．Specifically, the Internet and mobile devices have completely changed the way people interact with each other．There has been a debate going on whether technology is benefiting human communication or ruining it．
Undoubtedly, technology is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills．In business, office employees and managers use technology to send emails to one another, which is considered a communication skill. On social media, just share a few of your images and people start communicating on and about your images according to their viewpoint．With the outbreak of COVID-19, in order to work on the projects, the students use their phones to reach their teachers and classmates．
However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them．With cell phones, most people think that it’s easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person．Lucas Lengacher, an undergraduate from Huntington University , claims in his article that at least 42.91% people respond to messages immediately yet only 2.83% people don’t check their phones in the morning．In his research he found that “almost 60 percent of people felt disconnected from others around when they were on their phones”．
28．Human interaction has been basically influenced by ______．
A．people’s relationships B．social systems
C．mobile devices D．communication skills
29．How is the idea of paragraph 2 supported
A．By analyzing data． B．By providing cases．
C．By defining a concept． D．By making comparisons．
30．What does Lucas’s research find
A．Phones disconnect us when we are together．
B．Phones are becoming more and more popular．
C．People communicate less because of physical distance．
D．Phones are helping people build newer communication skills．
31．What is the author’s attitude to technology
A．Positive． B．Skeptical． C．Objective． D．Indifferent．
D
Cats and many other animals, including most dogs, can reflect light from their eyes．That’s why cats’ eyes will usually shine brightly in photos taken in a dimly lit room or glow when lightened in the dark by a flashlight or a car’s headlights．
Species whose eyes glow have evolved to see better in low light because they either forage or need to look out for predators（天敌）throughout the night, or they do most of their hunting at dawn and dusk．In fact, domesticated cats can see in conditions that are only 16% as bright as what people require．
Cats accomplish this because their pupils（瞳孔）—the openings that appear black in the middle of their eyes that widen and narrow in response to light conditions—are special．Pupils operate like windows, with bigger ones letting more light into the eye．And a cat’s pupils can become up to 50% larger than human pupils in dim light．They also have a higher number of a specific type of light-sensing cell in the back of their eyes than we do．These cells, called rods（杆细胞）, catch low-level light．In addition to having large pupils and lots of rods, cats have something people don’t: a tapetum lucidum（荧光膜）, a Latin medical term that translates to “bright or shining tapestry”．The tapetum lucidum is also known as “eyeshine”．
It’s located in the back of the eye behind the retina（视网膜）—a thin layer of tissue that receives light, converts the light to an electrical signal and sends this signal to the brain to interpret the image．
A cat’s tapetum lucidum is made up of cells with crystals that, like a mirror, reflect light back to the retina．This gives the retina a second chance to absorb more light．
In cats, the tapetum most often glows yellow-green or yellow-orange, but the color varies, just like their irises（虹膜）—the colorful part of their eye, which can be green, yellow, blue or golden．Variation in tapetum color is not unique to cats and can be found in lots of species．
32．The underlined word “forage” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by“______”
A．perceive B．hunt
C．sign D．ussess
33．According to the passage, a cat’s pupils ______．
A．can reflect lights B．can absorb more light
C．can widen and narrow D．can convert light to a signal
34．What’s the best title for the text
A．How do Cats’ Pupils Work
B．How do Cats’ Eyes Reflect Light
C．Why do Cats’ Pupils Appear Black
D．Why do Cats’ Eyes Glow in the Dark
35．We can probably find this passage in ______．
A．a travel journal B．a science magazine
C．a technology report D．an admission guide

40 Your dog may also just be relaxed and having fun—and rolling on her back is away to show it!
She’s scratching an itch．“It’s good to exclude any allergies and make sure your dog isn’t rolling a ton to scratch a constantly itchy back or side, but otherwise, it’s probably normal that she’s having a good time,” Dr. Austin said．
If you notice your dog rolling around in the grass, it’s probably just her having the best time ever．

B．She’s having fun
C．If it’s boring for your dog

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。
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink（溜冰场）．She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago．As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous．She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback．
“If I can win today,” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was just told that she had a tough competition this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything．“She is the one you have to beat this year,” the coach said．
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age．The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair．The bag fell to the floor with a thud（砰的一声）．
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny．“So this is my competition,” thought Laurie．“Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
“This costume（服装）was my mom’s idea,” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress．“I look like a flag.”
Laurie couldn’t keep from smiling．She pointed to Jinny’s skating bag．“Some stuff fell outof your bag,” Laurie said．
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor．As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened．
“Jinny,” called someone, “You’d better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago.” said Jinny．“Tell him it’s the green box with my initials（姓名的首字母）written in white in the right-hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him and he’s getting angry.”
“Then I don’t know what I did with it,” said Jinny, hurrying out．
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself．If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating．Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends．
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。
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table．____________________
