学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
Valencia lives, for the time being, in a mobile home park.
He greeted me when I arrived and poured me a cup of coffee. He told me that his dad had worked at a brick-manufacturing plant. His mother worked at home. Most of his seven brothers and sisters didn’t go to college.
Valencia was determined to be the first, despite his late start. He said he was an average student struggling with math and went to community college a year after graduating from high school but decided quickly it was not for him.
He got into construction and then the insurance industry, but he’d always liked to write and do crossword puzzles. “And I loved to read. A lot,” he said. And he joked with his mother that if he won the lottery, he’d use the winnings for college.
It was around 2007. Valencia got tired of telling himself he was going to go back to school. He told his mother it was finally for real. She said, “I hope you make it, Jerry.” And I told her, “I’m going to make it, Mom. Surely!”
The plan was to capitalize on his former construction experience to study civil engineering—the design, building and repair of roads, bridges, etc. But he discovered other interests.
“He was not the youngest student,” says Grant Tovmasian, coach of the forensics debate team Valencia joined. “But he was the most motivated and dedicated, encouraging fellow students and inspiring them to live a more satisfying life ”
Valencia’s sister Sindi Majors says her brother was always bright, but he went through a couple of rough experiences in his life.
Because Valencia has nearly always been homeless, she bought him a motor home, where he lived from 2009 to 2018.
There is something splendidly irrational about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally achieves his goals.
But that doesn’t influence him. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.
“Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (大学生的成绩单). But I’m giving him an A and in the most important ways, it counts.” says Tovmasian.
1．What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Make use of. B．Get rid of. C．Break down. D．Appeal to.
2．Which of the following is the right order of Valencia’s experience
a. Valencia joined the debate team.
b. He went to a community college.
c. He got into construction industry.
d. He planned to study civil engineering.
A．b-d-c-a B．b-c-d-a. C．c-a-d-b D．d-c-b-a
3．Which of the following can best describe Valencia
A．Caring and ambitious. B．Devoted and modest.
C．Positive and generous. D．Determined and motivated.
4．Why does Tovmasian decide to give Valencia a grade A
A．Because he hopes to see Valencia graduate as soon as possible.
B．Because he admires Valencia for his good quality and performance.
C． Because Valencia has done extra work to perform the best in the class.
D．Because Valencia has reached his goals earlier inspired by Tovmasian
The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food — that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill — to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
5．What changes does Broad Leib see
A．Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
B．Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
C．People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
D．Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
6．What does the underlined word “edible” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Eatable. B．Affordable. C．Delicious. D．Convenient.
7．How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A．By reducing food produced within the country.
B．By using double date labeling on packaged food.
C．By increasing storehouses.
D．By fighting hunger with rewards.
8．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
B．Bro ad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
C．Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D．Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case. Now European researchers say they have discovered the first evidence of a huge groundwater system that once existed below the planet’s surface.
A new study was carried out by Francesco Salese and his team, who studied images of 24 deep craters (n.弹坑) in the northern half of the Red Planet. These pictures were captured by ESA’s Mars Express orbiter (n.宇宙飞船), which was launched in 2003. The study provides the first geological proof that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system.”
According to Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was once a watery world. His team says the images showed that large amounts of successive groundwater activity connected the areas they studied. Evidence of basins and coastlines was also found on the surface of Mars, supporting the idea that water was once present. He added that all the basins seemed to reach about the same height.
Scientists have yet to find out what happened to all that water. And the complex history of water on Mars has linked to whether or not life ever existed on it. During the latest study, researchers also discovered evidence of minerals within some of the identified (adj.被识别的) bodies of water.
The researchers say the findings adds weight to the idea that the water basins on Mars may have once held the materials required to support life. Some of this material could still be buried on Mars, providing possible evidence of life during future exploration. Francesco Salese believes the latest findings could also help us learn new things about our own planet.
9．What can we infer about our past knowledge of Mars
A．It had no water.
B．It had no groundwater.
C．It had a great groundwater system.
D．It had water on the surface of the planet.
10．Where can you find the evidence that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system”
A．In paragraph 3. B．In paragraph 2.
C．In paragraph 1. D．In paragraph 4.
11．Which of the following best explains “successive” underlined in paragraph 3
A．complicated B．brilliant C．continuous D．incredible
12．What is the main idea of the text
A．Evidence of water on Mars enables us learn new things about the earth
B．Our past knowledge about Mars was incorrect.
C．Evidence of life could be revealed by the discovery of water on Mars.
D．The ever existence of groundwater system on Mars was discovered.

六、读后续写
34．I was an average student in my early elementary years. I came home with a steady flow of B’s, C’s and the occasional F’s in second language subjects. I was told that I wasn’t applying myself and, as every report card I ever brought home clearly stated, I talked too much.
I didn’t write when I was supposed to write. I talked to others while the teacher was giving instructions. That I could recite what she had said to the class while I was talking was not helpful because I had a negative effect on my classmates’ learning. So I regularly brought home disappointing report cards.
My parents and my teachers didn’t know what to do with me. Punishments didn’t seem to work. Rewards didn’t seem to either. And, frankly, I don’t think I knew what I could do to “apply myself”. And I certainly didn’t know how to not enjoy talking with my classmates! What I knew was that I talked too much. Until grade 5.
That autumn, we had a sudden change in teachers as our elderly teacher took a medical leave. In his place, a young substitute (代课老师) arrived — Mrs Royal. She looked like she was freshly out of university and seemed too young to be cast in the role of being responsible for a class of tween, but there she was, charged with a lively group, and me.
I don’t remember many details of that year except the afternoon when I got my first report card from her. She handed out the report cards right after the afternoon break and invited us to look them over. Then she let us know that we could all talk quietly amongst ourselves while she called each student up one at a time, in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), to discuss our report cards with her.
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。
I looked over my report card, expecting the usual result.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then it was my turn to talk with her.

11．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据上文“According to Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was once a watery world.(根据萨莱斯的说法，科学证据已经表明火星曾经是一个有水的世界。)”和下文“connected the areas they studied.(将他们研究的地区联系在一起)”可知，他们的研究发现过去火星上是有水的。由此推测，只有大量连续的地下水活动才能将研究的区域联系在一起。由此可知，successive意为“连续的”。故选C。
12．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case. Now European researchers say they have discovered the first evidence of a huge groundwater system that once existed below the planet’s surface.”(越来越多的证据表明，我们过去对火星的了解并不总是如此。现在，欧洲研究人员表示，他们发现了火星表面下曾经存在巨大地下水系统的第一个证据)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家发现了火星上曾经存在的地下水系统。故选D

Growing through Challenges
Challenges are part of our life, which come in different forms. However, it is growing through these challenges that makes us stronger.
As for me, one challenge that I faced was living in the dorm independently. It was the first time that I had left my parents and learnt to manage my life all by myself. At first, it was very frustrating that I couldn't adapt to living without my parents. But with the help of my teachers and classmates, I overcame all the difficulties I met. Not only my parents but also I was amazed to find a completely new me.
As Santiago in the book of The Old Man and the Sea says, “A man can be destroyed but not be defeated.” Only by bravely facing challenges can we gain growth.

34．答案：
I looked over my report card, expecting the usual result. But to my surprise, her feedback was different. Instead of focusing on the negatives, she pointed out the improvements I had made. She acknowledged my efforts, however small, and encouraged me to keep working on my weaknesses. I double-checked and made sure it was definitely my report card. Even though we had been given permission to talk amongst ourselves, I had very little to say to friends as I waited anxiously for her to call my name.
Then it was my turn to talk with her. She began with a warm smile, “You have any questions for me ” I remember looking down at my report card and saying, “I don’t get A’s, besides, nowhere on here does it say I talk too much.” She said, “I figured you already knew you talked too much, so I thought I could tell you something different. As for the grades, you earned the A’s.” From that day on, I knew I was capable of “straight A’s” and could have qualities other than that of a student who talked too much in class.

一、阅读理解
Valencia lives, for the time being, in a mobile home park.
He greeted me when I arrived and poured me a cup of coffee. He told me that his dad had worked at a brick-manufacturing plant. His mother worked at home. Most of his seven brothers and sisters didn’t go to college.
Valencia was determined to be the first, despite his late start. He said he was an average student struggling with math and went to community college a year after graduating from high school but decided quickly it was not for him.
He got into construction and then the insurance industry, but he’d always liked to write and do crossword puzzles. “And I loved to read. A lot,” he said. And he joked with his mother that if he won the lottery, he’d use the winnings for college.
It was around 2007. Valencia got tired of telling himself he was going to go back to school. He told his mother it was finally for real. She said, “I hope you make it, Jerry.” And I told her, “I’m going to make it, Mom. Surely!”
The plan was to capitalize on his former construction experience to study civil engineering—the design, building and repair of roads, bridges, etc. But he discovered other interests.
“He was not the youngest student,” says Grant Tovmasian, coach of the forensics debate team Valencia joined. “But he was the most motivated and dedicated, encouraging fellow students and inspiring them to live a more satisfying life ”
Valencia’s sister Sindi Majors says her brother was always bright, but he went through a couple of rough experiences in his life.
Because Valencia has nearly always been homeless, she bought him a motor home, where he lived from 2009 to 2018.
There is something splendidly irrational about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally achieves his goals.
But that doesn’t influence him. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.
“Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (大学生的成绩单). But I’m giving him an A and in the most important ways, it counts.” says Tovmasian.
1．What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Make use of. B．Get rid of. C．Break down. D．Appeal to.
2．Which of the following is the right order of Valencia’s experience
a. Valencia joined the debate team.
b. He went to a community college.
c. He got into construction industry.
d. He planned to study civil engineering.
A．b-d-c-a B．b-c-d-a. C．c-a-d-b D．d-c-b-a
3．Which of the following can best describe Valencia
A．Caring and ambitious. B．Devoted and modest.
C．Positive and generous. D．Determined and motivated.
4．Why does Tovmasian decide to give Valencia a grade A
A．Because he hopes to see Valencia graduate as soon as possible.
B．Because he admires Valencia for his good quality and performance.
C． Because Valencia has done extra work to perform the best in the class.
D．Because Valencia has reached his goals earlier inspired by Tovmasian
The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food — that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill — to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
5．What changes does Broad Leib see
A．Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
B．Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
C．People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
D．Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
6．What does the underlined word “edible” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Eatable. B．Affordable. C．Delicious. D．Convenient.
7．How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A．By reducing food produced within the country.
B．By using double date labeling on packaged food.
C．By increasing storehouses.
D．By fighting hunger with rewards.
8．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
B．Bro ad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
C．Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D．Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case. Now European researchers say they have discovered the first evidence of a huge groundwater system that once existed below the planet’s surface.
A new study was carried out by Francesco Salese and his team, who studied images of 24 deep craters (n.弹坑) in the northern half of the Red Planet. These pictures were captured by ESA’s Mars Express orbiter (n.宇宙飞船), which was launched in 2003. The study provides the first geological proof that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system.”
According to Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was once a watery world. His team says the images showed that large amounts of successive groundwater activity connected the areas they studied. Evidence of basins and coastlines was also found on the surface of Mars, supporting the idea that water was once present. He added that all the basins seemed to reach about the same height.
Scientists have yet to find out what happened to all that water. And the complex history of water on Mars has linked to whether or not life ever existed on it. During the latest study, researchers also discovered evidence of minerals within some of the identified (adj.被识别的) bodies of water.
The researchers say the findings adds weight to the idea that the water basins on Mars may have once held the materials required to support life. Some of this material could still be buried on Mars, providing possible evidence of life during future exploration. Francesco Salese believes the latest findings could also help us learn new things about our own planet.
9．What can we infer about our past knowledge of Mars
A．It had no water.
B．It had no groundwater.
C．It had a great groundwater system.
D．It had water on the surface of the planet.
10．Where can you find the evidence that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system”
A．In paragraph 3. B．In paragraph 2.
C．In paragraph 1. D．In paragraph 4.
11．Which of the following best explains “successive” underlined in paragraph 3
A．complicated B．brilliant C．continuous D．incredible
12．What is the main idea of the text
A．Evidence of water on Mars enables us learn new things about the earth
B．Our past knowledge about Mars was incorrect.
C．Evidence of life could be revealed by the discovery of water on Mars.
D．The ever existence of groundwater system on Mars was discovered.

六、读后续写
34．I was an average student in my early elementary years. I came home with a steady flow of B’s, C’s and the occasional F’s in second language subjects. I was told that I wasn’t applying myself and, as every report card I ever brought home clearly stated, I talked too much.
I didn’t write when I was supposed to write. I talked to others while the teacher was giving instructions. That I could recite what she had said to the class while I was talking was not helpful because I had a negative effect on my classmates’ learning. So I regularly brought home disappointing report cards.
My parents and my teachers didn’t know what to do with me. Punishments didn’t seem to work. Rewards didn’t seem to either. And, frankly, I don’t think I knew what I could do to “apply myself”. And I certainly didn’t know how to not enjoy talking with my classmates! What I knew was that I talked too much. Until grade 5.
That autumn, we had a sudden change in teachers as our elderly teacher took a medical leave. In his place, a young substitute (代课老师) arrived — Mrs Royal. She looked like she was freshly out of university and seemed too young to be cast in the role of being responsible for a class of tween, but there she was, charged with a lively group, and me.
I don’t remember many details of that year except the afternoon when I got my first report card from her. She handed out the report cards right after the afternoon break and invited us to look them over. Then she let us know that we could all talk quietly amongst ourselves while she called each student up one at a time, in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), to discuss our report cards with her.
注意：

7．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“However he acknowledges Kenya's current dual (双的) date labeling laws.(然而，他承认肯尼亚现行的双重日期标签法)"和“Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.(包装食品上的双日期标签通过定义安全和质量的日期来减少混乱。这有助于减少大量浪费和捐助者的责任)”可知，Broad Leib认可肯尼亚现行的双重日期标签法，它有助于减少大量浪费和捐助者的责任，可得出Broad Leib认为使用双重日期标签能减少肯尼亚的食物浪费。故选B项。
8．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya (Broad Leib认为，私营部门也可以在减少肯尼亚的粮食浪费方面发挥重要作用)"和“FLPC' sreseach shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.(FLPC的研究表明，公私合作举措有助于提高消费者和捐助者对食物浪费和食物捐赠问题的认识)”可知，围绕粮食问题，私人和公共的共同努力很重要。故选c项。
9．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case.(越来越多的证据表明，我们过去对火星的认识并不总是正确的)”和第二段“The study provides the first geological proof that Mars once had a “'planet-wide groundwater system.”(这项研究提供了第一个地质学证据，证明火星曾经有一个“行星范围的地下水系统”。)”推知，我们过去对火星的认知是它上面没有水，而事实是那里曾经存在大范围的地下水系统。故选A项。
10．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“His team say the images showed that large amounts of successive groundwater activity connected the areas they studied Evidence of basins and coastlines was also found on the surface of Mars, supporting the idea that water was once present.(他的团队表示，这些图像显示，大量连续的地下水活动将他们研究的地区联系在一起。在火星表面也发现了盆地和海岸线的证据，支持了水曾经存在的观点。)”可知，从第三段可以找到火星曾经有过“行星地下水系统”的证据。故选A项。
11．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据上文“According to Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was once a watery world.(根据萨莱斯的说法，科学证据已经表明火星曾经是一个有水的世界。)”和下文“connected the areas they studied.(将他们研究的地区联系在一起)”可知，他们的研究发现过去火星上是有水的。由此推测，只有大量连续的地下水活动才能将研究的区域联系在一起。由此可知，successive意为“连续的”。故选C。
12．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case. Now European researchers say they have discovered the first evidence of a huge groundwater system that once existed below the planet’s surface.”(越来越多的证据表明，我们过去对火星的了解并不总是如此。现在，欧洲研究人员表示，他们发现了火星表面下曾经存在巨大地下水系统的第一个证据)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家发现了火星上曾经存在的地下水系统。故选D

33．答案：
Growing through Challenges
Challenges are part of our life, which come in different forms. However, it is growing through these challenges that makes us stronger.
As for me, one challenge that I faced was living in the dorm independently. It was the first time that I had left my parents and learnt to manage my life all by myself. At first, it was very frustrating that I couldn't adapt to living without my parents. But with the help of my teachers and classmates, I overcame all the difficulties I met. Not only my parents but also I was amazed to find a completely new me.
As Santiago in the book of The Old Man and the Sea says, “A man can be destroyed but not be defeated.” Only by bravely facing challenges can we gain growth.

34．答案：
I looked over my report card, expecting the usual result. But to my surprise, her feedback was different. Instead of focusing on the negatives, she pointed out the improvements I had made. She acknowledged my efforts, however small, and encouraged me to keep working on my weaknesses. I double-checked and made sure it was definitely my report card. Even though we had been given permission to talk amongst ourselves, I had very little to say to friends as I waited anxiously for her to call my name.
Then it was my turn to talk with her. She began with a warm smile, “You have any questions for me ” I remember looking down at my report card and saying, “I don’t get A’s, besides, nowhere on here does it say I talk too much.” She said, “I figured you already knew you talked too much, so I thought I could tell you something different. As for the grades, you earned the A’s.” From that day on, I knew I was capable of “straight A’s” and could have qualities other than that of a student who talked too much in class.
