There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is, special, but rather the person who lives inside,
I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom, wishing I were her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be during the time. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. However, when I turned 4iin the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until: September. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces when they sang the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.
Over the years we have shared each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.
I am here for her no was the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given to her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in a green card. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds.
Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen carefully because I know I still have more to learn from her.
Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts.
4. How can we best describe Jenny
A. Skilled in her teaching but impatient with her students sometimes.
B. Considerate and often paying a visit to the parents of her students.
C. Easy-going and good at communicating with her students.
D. Generous and ready to help poor students.
5. What can we infer about the author and her teacher from the text？
A. They are unwilling to visit each other.
B. They usually have nothing new to share.
C. They are always concerned with each other.
D. They have lost contact with each other by now.
6. Why does the author take boxes from Jenny’s basement
A. Jenny’s house is to be sold.
B. Jenny wants to find her teaching aids.
C. Jenny expects to show her achievements in education.

For those of us who grew up watching Star Trek, exploring space has been about discovering strange new worlds. And there are plenty of worlds to explore in time, but we still need major technological advancements to reach planets that are light years away.
What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now, right here on Earth. From space, we can monitor, manage and care for our planet. Satellite-based sensors show us the short- and long-term effects of human activity on our environment. Many companies are using their interest in space to help solve problems here, from using hyperspectral imaging(高光谱成像), which enable us to map vegetation(植被) and rain forests, to microsatellites that provide global connectivity for the network of things.
My company, OneWeb, is focusing on what I believe is one of the world’s most important issues: the need for equal access to the Internet. The Internet has become our economic lifeblood. And yet, nearly half of the world’s population doesn’t have Internet access. Space is playing a key role in bridging this digital divide. OneWeb is launching 1,980 satellites to help bring Internet access to people everywhere, and our first production satellites are already flying in space and have shown very high download speeds.
Fiber and cable Internet access technologies already cover most financially viable(可行的) major cities. Similarly, these regions will also be the first to be served with 5G. Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty. OneWeb’s satellites will reach every community in the world and enable equal access to the Internet for the world’s less developed places.
Fifty years from the day when man first walked on the moon, we are still only approaching the possible. There will be tens of thousands of new satellites, space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications, scientific research, monitoring the earth, exploring space and more. This is exciting, but we must take action carefully.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Benefits space exploration can bring to us.
B. Problems space exploration leads to.
C. Steps of space exploration requires.
D. Equipment space exploration needs.
9. What is OneWeb aiming to do
A. Increase download speeds.
B. Narrow the gap in Internet learning.
C. Help people set up and maintain a website.
D. Enable people to make use of the Internet equally.
10. What can be inferred from the text
A. More than six decades ago, man first walked on the moon.
B More than half of the world’s people have no access to the Internet.
C. OneWeb’s satellites will make it possible for most people to be served with 5G.
D. Without the Internet, poor communities can hardly help themselves out of poverty.
11. What will the writer probably continue to write about in the following paragraph
A. The risks of furthering space exploration.
B. The value of setting up space stations.
C. The way we could monitor our earth.
D. The features of microsatellites.
D

Alistair Fitt, vice-headmaster of Oxford Brookes University, extended warm wishes of good fortune and prosperity in the year of the dragon and expressed hope for progress in Sino-British relations. “I am very sure that our two great nations will continue to expand all of our very successful relationships,” he said.

My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon ” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.

There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is, special, but rather the person who lives inside,
I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom, wishing I were her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be during the time. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. However, when I turned 4iin the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until: September. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces when they sang the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.
Over the years we have shared each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.
I am here for her no was the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given to her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in a green card. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds.
Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen carefully because I know I still have more to learn from her.
Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts.

For those of us who grew up watching Star Trek, exploring space has been about discovering strange new worlds. And there are plenty of worlds to explore in time, but we still need major technological advancements to reach planets that are light years away.
What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now, right here on Earth. From space, we can monitor, manage and care for our planet. Satellite-based sensors show us the short- and long-term effects of human activity on our environment. Many companies are using their interest in space to help solve problems here, from using hyperspectral imaging(高光谱成像), which enable us to map vegetation(植被) and rain forests, to microsatellites that provide global connectivity for the network of things.
My company, OneWeb, is focusing on what I believe is one of the world’s most important issues: the need for equal access to the Internet. The Internet has become our economic lifeblood. And yet, nearly half of the world’s population doesn’t have Internet access. Space is playing a key role in bridging this digital divide. OneWeb is launching 1,980 satellites to help bring Internet access to people everywhere, and our first production satellites are already flying in space and have shown very high download speeds.
Fiber and cable Internet access technologies already cover most financially viable(可行的) major cities. Similarly, these regions will also be the first to be served with 5G. Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty. OneWeb’s satellites will reach every community in the world and enable equal access to the Internet for the world’s less developed places.
Fifty years from the day when man first walked on the moon, we are still only approaching the possible. There will be tens of thousands of new satellites, space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications, scientific research, monitoring the earth, exploring space and more. This is exciting, but we must take action carefully.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Benefits space exploration can bring to us.
B. Problems space exploration leads to.
C. Steps of space exploration requires.
D. Equipment space exploration needs.
9. What is OneWeb aiming to do
A. Increase download speeds.
B. Narrow the gap in Internet learning.
C. Help people set up and maintain a website.
D. Enable people to make use of the Internet equally.
10. What can be inferred from the text
A. More than six decades ago, man first walked on the moon.
B. More than half of the world’s people have no access to the Internet.
C. OneWeb’s satellites will make it possible for most people to be served with 5G.
D. Without the Internet, poor communities can hardly help themselves out of poverty.
11. What will the writer probably continue to write about in the following paragraph
A. The risks of furthering space exploration.
B. The value of setting up space stations.
C. The way we could monitor our earth.
D. The features of microsatellites.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty.(贫困社区是最后一个建立连接的社区，如果没有连接，这些社区就没有机会摆脱贫困。)”可推出，如果没有网络，贫困社区很难摆脱贫困。故选D。

You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了北京的政府官员承诺进一步保护城市的文化遗产。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：北京的地方官员承诺将进一步保护城市的文化遗产，特别是被称为胡同的狭窄街道。根据句意可知，official在句子中是可数名词，应用复数形式。故填officials。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：胡同在中国北方的城市中很常见，但它们正处于危险之中。空处修饰动词found作状语，应用副词形式。故填commonly。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：目前，北京的胡同数量不到1000，大多数的胡同靠近故宫。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“hutongs”，在从句中做主语，指物，且置于介词of后。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：仅在60年前，胡同的数量是3250条。由时间状语“only 60 years ago”可知，谓语动词应用一般过去时，且主语“the number of the hutongs (胡同的数量)”是单数意义。故填was。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：北京市城市规划委员会主任黄岩说，“这些游客给文物保护带来了压力”，他补充说，胡同应该受到保护，不受人为破坏。此处修饰protection，特指文物的保护，所以为定冠词the表示特指。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：北京市城市规划委员会主任黄岩说，“这些游客给文物保护带来了压力”，他补充说，胡同应该受到保护，不受人为破坏。分析句子结构可知，add在句子中不是谓语动词，Huang Yan与add之间为逻辑上的主调关系，用现在分词形式作状语。故填adding。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：政府集中讨论了保护计划是如何实施以及文化遗产管理是如何工作的。此外为固定短语concentrate on“集中注意力于”。故填on。
【43题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：西城区57平方公里的土地上有128万居民。由空后57 square kilometers of land为名词短语可知，空处作定语，要用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：每个社区都被要求报告其文化遗产的状况。require sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”，为固定用法，此处是其被动形式be required to do sth。故填to report。
【45题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：没有人确切地知道在未来的100年里会有多少胡同被保留下来。根据时间状语“in the coming 100 years”可知，应用一般将来时，且hutongs与leave之间是被动关系，故用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be left。

47. 读后续写
My son David was injured in his forehead so I had to take him to a hospital. I looked around the crowded waiting room in the hospital and sighed. I thought, “Will the doctor be able to see my eight-year-old son soon ” I tried steadying the ice pack (冰袋) over his forehead, but it was no use. I couldn’t stop shaking. The injury in his forehead was deep, but at least blood wasn’t pouring from it anymore.
His face was full of tears, but he seemed really brave for his age. I handed him the ice pack, and he covered his forehead with it. He was doing a much better job than I had. We were at the hospital because another child had thrown a rock at David during a break between classes as he was running around the corner. His teacher called me, and when I arrived, I found him sitting in front of her. His teacher was caring for his injury, trying to keep him calm. She felt terrible about what had happened, but I knew none of it was her fault.
David received four stitches (缝线) and didn’t cry once throughout the whole treatment. For the next two days, his forehead was swollen and black and blue. I felt like I’d had a mini nervous breakdown. Every time I tried to sleep or tend to housework, horrible thoughts crept into my mind. Fear had taken over, and then the fear turned to anger. I was angry with the child who’d thrown the rock. I just couldn’t shake it. What was she thinking She should have known about that better.
David’s headmaster and teacher called me that evening to see how David was feeling and told me Cherry, the girl, felt terrible. I wanted to stand up for my son, do the right thing and protect him.
The next day, David’s teacher stopped by to see how David was feeling and dropped off a get-well card that Cherry had made. David and I read it several times, and I couldn’t help but feel a little choked up. It was a sincere apology.
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。
This card mattered a lot to us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
This card mattered a lot to us. I wanted this to be a teachable moment for David. I asked David if he was ready to forgive Cherry. After all, his opinion counted the most. He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, “Yes.” He knew Cherry hadn’t done it on purpose. Children are so friendly and so honest. They don’t hold onto anger like adults do sometimes. Their hearts are pure, so we wrote her a letter together, reading, “We know it was an unfortunate accident. We forgive you, and we hope you forgive yourself.” We asked David’s teacher to pass the letter to Cherry.
We wondered how Cherry would make a response after reading the letter. Later, David’s teacher told us Cherry was relieved after reading our letter. She was glad that David was feeling better and healing. David and Cherry both learned that forgiving someone was a part of healing and could release anger. The next time I showed up at David’s school, Cherry gave me a big hug. I hugged her back. We didn’t have to say anything else. We both knew forgiveness was the most important step to get healed.
