To raise money for restaurant workers who had to stay at home during COVID-19, two brothers, Aiden and Louis Ardine, decided to walk 3,200 miles across America to raise money.
Having just arrived on the sands of the Pacific Ocean, Aiden and Louis Ardine have now completed their five-month walk which started on the Asbury Park boardwalk in New Jersey. They hoped to raise $30, 000 for some charities (慈善组织) that were helping restaurant workers waiting for lockdown (隔离) to end, but ended up making $70,000 — which they gave away to the COCO Fund and the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation.
“This would not have been possible without the help of a huge community of people, whether people were donating or helping us guide our way across the United States,” said Aiden Ardine. “This was surely an adventure full of hope, and it proved people are born good and want to help their neighbors.”
Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
4. What did the two brothers collect money for
A. Setting up some charities. B. Helping to end the lockdown.
C. Completing their five-month walk. D. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
5. Which word can best describe the two brothers
A. Humorous. B. Caring. C. Curious. D. Honest.
6. What happened to the brothers in Utah
A. They met with a bear. B. They were interviewed.
C. They visited a naturalist. D. They were lost in the path.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Long Journey B. Walk with Love
C. A Proud Mother D. Adventure with Fun
C
On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength(强度)— first set more than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. ”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said,“those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’. ”
Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
8. What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with
A The size of airplane seats and seat belts.
B. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.
C. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.
9. Robert Salazar would probably agree that _________.
A. overweight passengers should buy two seats
B. the government should help produce safer planes
C. passengers should know how to protect themselves
D. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
10. We can learn from the text that _________.
A. airplane seat makers have taken action now
B. those seats near the overweight may suffer too
C. there are few complaints about airplane seats
D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying
B. Will 42% of Americans Be Overweight by 2030
C. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight
D. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight
D
Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how you look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should focus on being healthy and positive. What people wear does not show anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together! Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercises By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
12. The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to________.
A persuade readers to value health more than fashion
B. show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting
C. tell readers ways to become fashionable
D. inform readers of the latest fashion trends
13. Which statement best shows the author’s opinion
A. When you look good, you feel good.
B. Fashion increases famous people’s self-respect.
C. Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.
D. People need to diet to lose weight.
14. What does the underlined phrase “go to great lengths” possibly mean in paragraph 2
A. Go abroad. B. Do everything possible.
C. Spend lots of money. D. Buy expensive clothing.
15. Which of the following activities would the author most likely suggest
A. Shopping for fashionable clothes. B. Going skating with friends.
C. Starting a strict diet with a friend. D. Changing the hairstyle every week.

Camberwell College Swimming Pools
Camberwell College of Arts has one 50m (Olympic sized) pool with a depth of 2m throughout, and one 25m pool with a 1m shallow end and a 4m deep end. Both pools may be used by the general public at certain times.
50m Pool
The pool is often used for classes, but the general public may use two lanes（泳道）for lane swimming at the following times.
Monday: 06:30-11:30 and 19:00-21:00
Tuesday: 06:30-11:30 and 18:00-21:00

Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note that during College holidays, these times will be different. Call 04837 393560 for up-to-date information.
25m Pool
The 25m pool is available for recreational (non-lane) swimming from 07:00-09:00 and 12:30-13:30 on weekdays, and 10:00-16:00 on Saturdays.
Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied.
We regret that the 25m pool will be closed for redecoration between 21st July and 18th August. The men’s changing rooms will be closed for the week beginning 19th August, and the women’s changing rooms will be closed the following week. Alternative（可选用的）changing rooms will be made available.

A. for a week B. on 26th August

【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了Camberwell College两个游泳池的详细情况，对公众的开放时间以及注意事项。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据50m Pool中“Weekends: 09:00-17:00”可知50米的游泳池在周末对公众开放的时间是09:00-17:00，四个选项中只有13:30在此时间段内，故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据50m Pool中“The pool is often used for classes”可知，该泳池经常用于教学。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“the 25m pool will be closed for redecoration between 21st July and 18th August.”可知，25米的泳池将在7月21日到8月18日之间重新装修，关闭大约1个月时间。故选D。
【点睛】
细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。本文介绍了Camberwell College两个游泳池的详细情况，对公众的开放时间，注意事项和情况通知。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题2考查文章细节，根据第一段one 50m (Olympic sized) pool with a depth of 2m throughout,可知这个游泳池的深度是2米，A错误。根据The pool is often used for classes可知这个泳池常用于教学，B正确。根据Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.可知14岁以下儿童必须在成人陪伴下游泳，不是不适合游泳。C错误。根据Please note that during College holidays, these times will be different.可知大学假期期间时间有所变动，不是不能使用。D错误。

Just like cross-country trips in this nation, their journey was characterized by amazing views, long roads, and helpful strangers: like a man who passed them in the extreme heat of summertime Iowa, before doubling back and giving them a cold Gatorade; or a Nevada campground manager who left them stay for free.
In Utah they had what the naturalist John Muir would have described as an “interview” with a black bear, when rounding a corner in the path, they found themselves within a few feet of it.
When they reached San Francisco, their supporters were waiting for them on the beach. Afterwards they flew home along with their mom who had been there to meet them. After their adventurous stay away from home, we can only imagine she was really feeling proud of her sons.
4. What did the two brothers collect money for
A. Setting up some charities. B. Helping to end the lockdown.
C. Completing their five-month walk. D. Aiding restaurant workers stuck at home.
5. Which word can best describe the two brothers

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength(强度)— first set more than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. ”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said,“those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’. ”
Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
8. What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with
A The size of airplane seats and seat belts.
B. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.
C. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.
9. Robert Salazar would probably agree that _________.
A. overweight passengers should buy two seats
B. the government should help produce safer planes
C. passengers should know how to protect themselves
D. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
10. We can learn from the text that _________.
A. airplane seat makers have taken action now
B. those seats near the overweight may suffer too
C. there are few complaints about airplane seats
D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying
B. Will 42% of Americans Be Overweight by 2030
C. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight
D. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight
【答案】8 C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. ”(弗吉尼亚大学应用生物力学中心的首席科学家罗伯特·萨拉查说:“如果一个体重较重的人坐满了一个座位，那么这个座位在发生碰撞时就不太可能表现得像预期的那样。”“飞机座椅内置的能量吸收装置可能会超负荷运转，乘客将得不到适当的保护。”)”可知，Robert Salazar认为，现在的飞机座椅在发生碰撞时不太可能表现得像预期的那样，且飞机座椅内置的能量吸收装置可能会超负荷运转，乘客将得不到适当的保护，由此可推知，Robert Salazar认为，应提高飞机座椅强度标准，故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said,“those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’. ”(Salzar博士说:“伤害也不仅仅局限于那名乘客。”“如果座位或安全带出现故障，”他说，“那些坐在附近的人可能会受到‘乘客不受控制的动作’的威胁。”)”可知，那些靠近超重乘客座位的人也可能会受到影响，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. (纽约时报的Christen Negroni报道说，工程师和科学家正在质疑飞机座椅是否足以保护超重的旅客。)”可知，本文主要讨论了现在的飞机座位对于体重过大的乘客是否足够安全。由此可知，C项“飞机座椅对于超重的人来说足够安全吗？”最适合作文章标题，故选C。

Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how you look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should focus on being healthy and positive. What people wear does not show anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together! Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercises By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
12. The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to________.
A. persuade readers to value health more than fashion
B. show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting
C. tell readers ways to become fashionable
D. inform readers of the latest fashion trends
13. Which statement best shows the author’s opinion
A. When you look good, you feel good.
B. Fashion increases famous people’s self-respect.
C. Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.
D. People need to diet to lose weight.
14. What does the underlined phrase “go to great lengths” possibly mean in paragraph 2
A. Go abroad. B. Do everything possible.
C. Spend lots of money. D. Buy expensive clothing.
15. Which of the following activities would the author most likely suggest
A. Shopping for fashionable clothes. B. Going skating with friends.
C. Starting a strict diet with a friend. D. Changing the hairstyle every week.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了时尚并不是一切，健康比时尚更重要。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(看起来时髦比穿着舒适更重要吗？很多人似乎都这么认为，从他们的穿着来判断。但时尚不是一切。做一个健康的好人更重要。)”可知，文章主要讨论了时尚并不是一切，健康比时尚更重要。由此可推知，作者的主要目的是说服读者重视健康而不是时尚，故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies.(人们……变得时尚。有些人认为他们必须有一个特定的体型，所以他们采取极端的，不健康的饮食，以改变他们的身体。)”可得出，时尚可以让人们做一些不健康的事情，故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段画线短语下文“Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes and tight body shapers that limit blood flow.(有些人认为他们必须有一个特定的体型，所以他们采取极端的，不健康的饮食，以改变他们的身体。此外，许多女性穿着不舒服的时装，如高跟鞋和紧身塑身器，以限制血液流动。)”可知，人们为了时尚不遗余力做出一些事情，由此可推知，画线短语“go to great lengths”意为“不遗余力”，与B选项“尽一切可能”意思一样，故选B。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together! Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercises (与其花几个小时挑选一套西装，也许你应该打电话给你的朋友，一起做点什么！与其严格控制饮食和挨饿，为什么不吃一些健康的食物，然后锻炼身体呢？)”可知，作者建议要和朋友一起出去做一些事情，要吃健康食物，然后锻炼身体，因此A项“购买时装”，C项“和朋友开始节食”和D项“每周换一次发型”不是作者建议做的事，B项“和朋友去滑冰”是作者最可能建议人们做的事情，故选B。

Although it may sound terrible, there are still some things you can do to avoid viruses. Here are several simple tips to stay healthy in winters.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在寒冷的冬天如何避免被病毒感染，保持健康的几个简单方法：经常洗手，避免触碰眼、鼻和口，接种流感疫苗，避免接触病人。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick.( 触摸门把手或握手可能会让你生病。)”可知，此处强调触碰门把手或握手都有可能使你生病，因此后文应该指出对应的原因即病毒在人与人之间很容易传播。A选项“It is easy for viruses to spread from person to person(病毒很容易在人与人之间传播)”承接前文，符合语境，指出因为病毒很容易在人与人之间传播所以触摸门把手或握手可能会让你生病。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“so wash your hands and do it often.( 所以要勤洗手。)”可知，此处强调要多洗手，故下文应为说明如何洗手，F选项“The best way is to use regular soap and water(最好的方法是使用普通的肥皂和水)”承接前文，指出通过普通的肥皂和水洗手是最好的方法，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands.( 避免用手触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。)”可知，此处强调避免用手触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。可知眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴都是脸上器官，因此设空处概括的内容应该是“将手远离你的脸”。D选项“Keep your hands away from your face(把手从脸上拿开)”符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据下文“but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu.(但是注射流感疫苗会降低你患流感的几率。)”可知，注射流感疫苗会降低患流感的几率。句中的but表示此处与设空处构成转折关系。 C选项“It’s not absolutely safe(这不是绝对安全的)”指出注射疫苗并不能保证不被传染，即注射疫苗并不是绝对的安全，可是却能够降低患流感的几率，承接前文，前后构成转折关系，符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Viruses spread very easily through the air, so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing, sniffling and coughing person(病毒很容易通过空气传播，所以与打喷嚏、流鼻涕和咳嗽的人保持至少6英尺的距离。)”可知，此处强调病毒很容易在空气中传播，所以你和喷嚏之间至少要保持6英尺的距离，可知本段强调要和周围生病的人保持距离。
E选项“If someone around you is sick, then keep your distance(如果你身边有人生病了，那就保持距离)”与下文形成呼应，强调与流感病人保持距离，阻止病毒通过空气传播，符合语境。故选E。

【答案】Dear Rebecca,
I’m worried when receiving your letter saying that you’re suffering from a tense relationship with your parents. Here is my personal advice on how to improve it.
Firstly, you’d better talk to your parents regularly, explaining your actions and feelings calmly, listening carefully and addressing their concerns. Besides, when you can’t see eye to eye with them, remember to put yourself in your parents’ shoes, which will help you understand the situation from their point of view.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful and everything will turn out all right in the end.
