一、阅读理解
Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler
Saint Maybe is an example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy (悲剧) for a family with lives changed forever. The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding. I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life.
— Eric James
Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan
This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes. After reading this, I started writing my own poetry. I like including silly poems and lyrics in my books, which is definitely down to the influence of this book. It’s a book that you would read as a kid and it would really stimulate your imagination.
— Liz Pichon
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life. My desire to fall down a rabbit hole that might take me to Wonderland surpassed (胜过) my other childhood wishes. Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never-ending tea parties, which were reflected in a life-long love of cats and cakes, suited me best.
— Menna van Praag
Bambi by Felix Salten
My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields. This book made me stop and study the animal tracks on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way, setting me on the path to being a writer.
— Polly Crosby

I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly.
When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go.
I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…”
Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying.
Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible.

In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality. If a new acquaintance fails to give a card to Glenn Lim of CEO Asia, a Singaporean company, “it makes me forget them,” he says.
Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life working is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early. April and have yet to recover fully. Mr.Lim normally hands out about 200 cards a month. In the six months following Singapore’s lockdown in March, he assumes he received about five. “I’ve forgotten what business cards look like,” remarks a British banker based in Singapore.
But it is still helpful to know who is who at meetings, even when.they take place on panies are therefore reimagining the business card for the era of social distancing, Nagaya, a Japanese firm, prints them on face masks. After the launch of the “Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya’s website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”. Users receive QR codes which they display as virtual backgrounds on video-conferencing apps. Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June.
But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet. People tend to exchange virtual cards after meetings have started or as they end, forcing participants to ask who does what during the meeting itself.
“That’s sometimes a little bit rude,” he says. Many others in Singapore are evidently fond of paper cards, too. Sales at Express-Print, a printing company, have picked up in the past two months, as more people restart in-person meetings. Even Edward Senju, the head of Sansan’s operations in Squth-East Asia, still keeps in his wallet, “just in case”.

D. Science and technology is the foundation of business.
10．What is Mr Lim’s attitude towards paper business cards
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Supportive.

Tardigrades, which are known as space bears, are able to survive for up to 30 years without food or water, and endure temperature extremes of up to 150 degrees Celsius, the deep sea and even the frozen space.
Researchers found that their astonishing abilities would protect them from disasters which would wipe out all life on Earth. In fact, the only forces capable of harming tardigrades, such as an exploding star or a deadly gamma ray burst, will not happen before our own Sun dies.
“Life on this planet can continue long after humans are gone,” said Dr. Rafael of the Department of Physics, tardiprades are as close to indestructible as it gets on Earth, but it is possible that there are other resilient (有承受力的) species examples elsewhere in the universe. In this context, there 1S a real case for looking for life on Mars and in other areas of the solar system in general, If tardigrades are earth’s most resilient species, who knows what else is out there.”
The micro animals living In water can live for up to 60 years, and grow to a maximum size of 0.5mm. The only real threat to their existence would be from a destructive event which would cause Earth’s oceans to boil away. But the scientists discovered that there are only a dozen known asteroids (小行星) and dwarf planets with enough mass to cause the oceans to boil if they struck the Earth and none are on a collision course with our planet. Smaller space rocks would not harm tardigrades.
Dr. David, Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Physics at Oxford University said: “To our surprise, we found that although large asteroid impacts would be disastrous for people, tardigrades could be unaffected. Therefore it seems that life, once it gets going, is hard to wipe out entirely. Huge numbers of species, or even entire genera may become extinct, but life as a whole will go on.”
In highlighting the resilience of life in general, the research broadens the scope of life beyond Earth, within and outside of this solar system.
Professor Abraham, chair of the Astronomy Department at Harvard University, said the research proved that life could survive in even the harshest environment. “Organisms with similar tolerances to radiation and temperature as tardigrades could survive long term below the surface in these condition.”
12．What does “this planet” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Sun. B. Earth. C. Mars. D. The dwarf planet.
13．What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There may exist more resilient species in other planets.
B. Na other species are stronger than tardigrades on the earth.
C. Tardigrades can be found in other areas of the solar system.
D. Tardigrades will be destroyed by space rocks hitting the earth.
14．Dr. David and Professor Abraham might agree that ________.
A. life will continue however bad the situation is
B. it is necessary to explore beyond the solar system
C. surviving below the surface s harder than imagined
D. asteroid impacts may cause the destruction of tardigrades
15．What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To explore a study method.
B. To introduce a new research finding.
C. To provide a possible way 10 live in outer space.
D. To offer new means to survive tough environment.
二、七选五
16．Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. ①________
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ②________
How can they maximize their impact
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ③________ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
④________ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. ⑤________ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.
By speaking out on critical issues, leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role
C. As leaders, CEOs should lead with purpose.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.
E. CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever.
F. But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities
G. They have the power to influence public policy, and even the course of global events.

六、读后续写
34．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。
Chad was a friend I met at summer camp. And we love telling corny(老套的) food jokes. “You know what kind of fish you put on a sandwich ” Chad said. “A jellyfish(水母, jelly也有果酱的意思)!” “That was bad,” I laughed. “You know why the bread dough(面团) was sad It just wanted to be kneaded (揉,音同needed)” “Wow, that was even worse.” Chad laughed back.
Joking and laughing with Chad was turning out to be one of my favorite parts of camp. But a couple of days later, his joking around got confusing.
“Hey,” he said, “did you forget your eyeglasses today ” I shook my head. “I don’t wear glasses.”
“I just figured you couldn’t see very well,” he said. “The friendship bracelet(手链) you’re making looks so ugly, you should call it an enemy bracelet. Get it ”
“Oh, ha! Yeah,” I said in a confused, not-exactly-laughing kind of way. But before I had a chance to stop and think about how those words actually made me feel, it was time to move on to the next activity.
That night, when it was lights-out time, I lay awake, feeling not good. Half of my brain was thinking, “Chad was just joking around; don’t take it so hard.” But the other half of my brain was thinking, “Those bracelet comments felt more mean than fun. I knew that truly funny things shouldn’t make my stomach hurt.”
The next day, Chad made another one of his “jokes” on the field. “Amy must think we’re playing golf instead of basketball,” he paused and smiled. Seeing my confusion, Chad said that each time Amy got the ball, it would just roll on the ground.”
“Chad” I said. “I don’t think it’s funny.” “Why What happened to your sense of humor ” he asked.
I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came.

4．答案：B
解析：推断题。由第一段第一句 “I tried not to look down” 和第二句 “My palms were sweating” 可知，作者当时不敢往下看，手掌出汗，显然是感到害怕和恐惧，B项正确。D项意为“兴奋的，激动的”，C项意为“恼怒的”，A项意为“筋疲力尽的”，均不符合文意。故正确答案为B。
5．答案：C
解析：推断题。由第三段第一句 “I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me.” 和最后一段第三句 “I owe my zip line(飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform.” 可知，作者将这次经历归功于这位说服他并把推下去的英国人，且由最后一段第二句 “It would be nice to say that I conquered my fears” 可知，作者很高兴能够克服恐惧。因此英国人将作者推下去是为了培养他的勇气。因此C项正确。A项“教他飞行”，B项“让他去死”，D项“测试他的攀爬能力”，均不符合文意，故错误。故正确答案为C。

Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early.(当白领们都逃到家里的办公室，商务午餐被取消，会议都在网上举行时，建立关系网变得很困难。跨国印刷公司Vistaprint的名片订单在3月底和3月初下降了70%)”可推知，划线句子Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support.的意思是“新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境”，即“名片行业一直在走下坡路”。故选D项。
9．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After the launch of the“Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya's website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”.(在推出“美诗”口罩后，长谷的网站流量增加了65000%。另一家日本公司三山提供“虚拟卡”)”“Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June(自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡)”可知，在第三段中，作者想告诉我们虚拟卡片在商业中越来越流行。故选B项。
10．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet.(但使用Sansan的虚拟卡的Lim先生目前还不打算扔掉纸质版)”可知，Lim先生对纸质名片的态度是支持的。故选D项。
11．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality.(在亚洲，一场会议开始前，人们总会互换名片。这不仅事关礼节)”，第二段中的“Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support. (然而，新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境)”以及第三段“Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan's virtual cards since they launched in June.(用手机摄像头扫描代码，就会召唤出用户的数字名片。自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡)”可知，名片在商业活动中很重要，但是因为疫情的原因，纸质名片的使用变得不现实，作为替代品的各类数字名片便应运而生。由此可知，Here is my QR code(这是我的数字名片)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。

33．答案：
Learning English Beyond the Classroom
Nowadays, with the growing popularity of smartphones and computers, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in various ways.
It can easily be seen that the percentage of students who choose listening to English songs and watching English movies is respectively 65% and 50%. However, those choosing reading English books and visiting English learning websites only account for 18% and 12%.
As far as I’m concerned, it is a disturbing trend. For students, what benefits most to their study is reading English books. Because of their lack of self-discipline, they’re more easily addicted to chatting online or playing games. It’s urgent for students themselves to improve their self-discipline, and it’s also urgent for parents and teachers to strengthen the guidance.

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling. “Hey, Chad, I guess, we might have different ideas of what’s funny,” I began, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. I continued to explain that I did love our food jokes, but I didn’t think that ‘enemy bracelet’ comment was funny. I also mentioned the incident with Amy, emphasizing that it felt like he was making fun of her, not the situation. “Basically, I think laughing with people is way more fun than laughing at them.” (84 words)
Paragraph 2:
After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came. “You’re right. I didn’t realize my jokes could be hurtful. I’m sorry,” he admitted, his eyes reflecting a newfound understanding. A wave of relief washed over me as I responded, “I appreciate your apology, Chad. Let’s go back to the jokes that make everyone laugh, alright ” His smile slowly returned, genuine and beautiful. From that day on, our friendship was once again filled with laughter and the rest of the summer camp was a mix of activities and joy, just the way it was meant to be. (87 words)

一、阅读理解
Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler
Saint Maybe is an example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy (悲剧) for a family with lives changed forever. The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding. I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life.
— Eric James
Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan
This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes. After reading this, I started writing my own poetry.

— Liz Pichon
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life.

— Menna van Praag
Bambi by Felix Salten
My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields.

I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly.
When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go.
I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…”
Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying.
Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible.

In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality. If a new acquaintance fails to give a card to Glenn Lim of CEO Asia, a Singaporean company, “it makes me forget them,” he says.
Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life working is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early. April and have yet to recover fully. Mr.Lim normally hands out about 200 cards a month. In the six months following Singapore’s lockdown in March, he assumes he received about five. “I’ve forgotten what business cards look like,” remarks a British banker based in Singapore.
But it is still helpful to know who is who at meetings, even when.they take place on panies are therefore reimagining the business card for the era of social distancing, Nagaya, a Japanese firm, prints them on face masks. After the launch of the “Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya’s website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”. Users receive QR codes which they display as virtual backgrounds on video-conferencing apps. Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June.
But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet. People tend to exchange virtual cards after meetings have started or as they end, forcing participants to ask who does what during the meeting itself.
“That’s sometimes a little bit rude,” he says. Many others in Singapore are evidently fond of paper cards, too. Sales at Express-Print, a printing company, have picked up in the past two months, as more people restart in-person meetings. Even Edward Senju, the head of Sansan’s operations in Squth-East Asia, still keeps in his wallet, “just in case”.

D. Science and technology is the foundation of business.
10．What is Mr Lim’s attitude towards paper business cards

A. Here is my QR code B. Business cards come to grand
C. Here comes a new economic era D. The pandemic takes a lows to bushiness
Tardigrades, which are known as space bears, are able to survive for up to 30 years without food or water, and endure temperature extremes of up to 150 degrees Celsius, the deep sea and even the frozen space.
Researchers found that their astonishing abilities would protect them from disasters which would wipe out all life on Earth. In fact, the only forces capable of harming tardigrades, such as an exploding star or a deadly gamma ray burst, will not happen before our own Sun dies.
“Life on this planet can continue long after humans are gone,” said Dr. Rafael of the Department of Physics, tardiprades are as close to indestructible as it gets on Earth, but it is possible that there are other resilient (有承受力的) species examples elsewhere in the universe. In this context, there 1S a real case for looking for life on Mars and in other areas of the solar system in general, If tardigrades are earth’s most resilient species, who knows what else is out there.”
The micro animals living In water can live for up to 60 years, and grow to a maximum size of 0.5mm. The only real threat to their existence would be from a destructive event which would cause Earth’s oceans to boil away. But the scientists discovered that there are only a dozen known asteroids (小行星) and dwarf planets with enough mass to cause the oceans to boil if they struck the Earth and none are on a collision course with our planet. Smaller space rocks would not harm tardigrades.
Dr. David, Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Physics at Oxford University said: “To our surprise, we found that although large asteroid impacts would be disastrous for people, tardigrades could be unaffected. Therefore it seems that life, once it gets going, is hard to wipe out entirely. Huge numbers of species, or even entire genera may become extinct, but life as a whole will go on.”
In highlighting the resilience of life in general, the research broadens the scope of life beyond Earth, within and outside of this solar system.
Professor Abraham, chair of the Astronomy Department at Harvard University, said the research proved that life could survive in even the harshest environment. “Organisms with similar tolerances to radiation and temperature as tardigrades could survive long term below the surface in these condition.”
12．What does “this planet” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Sun. B. Earth. C. Mars. D. The dwarf planet.
13．What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A. There may exist more resilient species in other planets.
B. Na other species are stronger than tardigrades on the earth.
C. Tardigrades can be found in other areas of the solar system.
D. Tardigrades will be destroyed by space rocks hitting the earth.
14．Dr. David and Professor Abraham might agree that ________.
A. life will continue however bad the situation is
B. it is necessary to explore beyond the solar system
C. surviving below the surface s harder than imagined
D. asteroid impacts may cause the destruction of tardigrades
15．What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To explore a study method.
B. To introduce a new research finding.
C. To provide a possible way 10 live in outer space.
D. To offer new means to survive tough environment.
二、七选五
16．Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. ①________
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ②________
How can they maximize their impact
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ③________ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
④________ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. ⑤________ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.
By speaking out on critical issues, leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role
C. As leaders, CEOs should lead with purpose.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.
E. CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever.
F. But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities
G. They have the power to influence public policy, and even the course of global events.

34．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。
Chad was a friend I met at summer camp. And we love telling corny(老套的) food jokes. “You know what kind of fish you put on a sandwich ” Chad said. “A jellyfish(水母, jelly也有果酱的意思)!” “That was bad,” I laughed. “You know why the bread dough(面团) was sad It just wanted to be kneaded (揉,音同needed)” “Wow, that was even worse.” Chad laughed back.
Joking and laughing with Chad was turning out to be one of my favorite parts of camp. But a couple of days later, his joking around got confusing.
“Hey,” he said, “did you forget your eyeglasses today ” I shook my head. “I don’t wear glasses.”
“I just figured you couldn’t see very well,” he said. “The friendship bracelet(手链) you’re making looks so ugly, you should call it an enemy bracelet. Get it ”
“Oh, ha! Yeah,” I said in a confused, not-exactly-laughing kind of way. But before I had a chance to stop and think about how those words actually made me feel, it was time to move on to the next activity.
That night, when it was lights-out time, I lay awake, feeling not good. Half of my brain was thinking, “Chad was just joking around; don’t take it so hard.” But the other half of my brain was thinking, “Those bracelet comments felt more mean than fun. I knew that truly funny things shouldn’t make my stomach hurt.”
The next day, Chad made another one of his “jokes” on the field. “Amy must think we’re playing golf instead of basketball,” he paused and smiled. Seeing my confusion, Chad said that each time Amy got the ball, it would just roll on the ground.”
“Chad” I said. “I don’t think it’s funny.” “Why What happened to your sense of humor ” he asked.
I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling.

5．答案：C
解析：推断题。由第三段第一句 “I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me.” 和最后一段第三句 “I owe my zip line(飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform.” 可知，作者将这次经历归功于这位说服他并把推下去的英国人，且由最后一段第二句 “It would be nice to say that I conquered my fears” 可知，作者很高兴能够克服恐惧。因此英国人将作者推下去是为了培养他的勇气。因此C项正确。A项“教他飞行”，B项“让他去死”，D项“测试他的攀爬能力”，均不符合文意，故错误。故正确答案为C。
6．答案：D
解析：主旨题。由最后一段倒数第三句 “Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have some out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening or impossible” 可知作者觉得这些经历很值得，因为他克服了原本看上去很恐惧、不可能解决的困难，因此D项正确。A项，“每个人都可以很好地享受飞行”，B项，“尝试他喜爱的挑战”，C项，“回顾过去那些觉得害怕的日子”，均不符合文意，故错误。故正确答案为D。
7．答案：A
解析：推断题。由最后一段倒数第二句 “I look forward to the future and the questions that it holds” 和最后一句 “I have answered my own question of fear of flying” 可知通过这次经历，作者克服了飞行的恐惧，再结合该段第三句中的 “my zip line experience” 和第六句中的 “conquering what at first appears to be frightening or impossible” 可知，该词组表示为 “the zip line experience”，A项正确。B项，“作者生活中的艰辛”，原文并未提及，故错误；C项，“作者冒险活动的失败”，与文中作者成功克服恐惧不符合，故错误；D项，“作者对未来的设想”，原文并未提及，故错误。故正确答案为A。
8．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线句下文“Networking is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early.(当白领们都逃到家里的办公室，商务午餐被取消，会议都在网上举行时，建立关系网变得很困难。跨国印刷公司Vistaprint的名片订单在3月底和3月初下降了70%)”可推知，划线句子Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support.的意思是“新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境”，即“名片行业一直在走下坡路”。故选D项。
9．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After the launch of the“Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya's website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”.(在推出“美诗”口罩后，长谷的网站流量增加了65000%。另一家日本公司三山提供“虚拟卡”)”“Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June(自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡)”可知，在第三段中，作者想告诉我们虚拟卡片在商业中越来越流行。故选B项。
10．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet.(但使用Sansan的虚拟卡的Lim先生目前还不打算扔掉纸质版)”可知，Lim先生对纸质名片的态度是支持的。故选D项。
11．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality.(在亚洲，一场会议开始前，人们总会互换名片。这不仅事关礼节)”，第二段中的“Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support. (然而，新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境)”以及第三段“Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan's virtual cards since they launched in June.(用手机摄像头扫描代码，就会召唤出用户的数字名片。自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡)”可知，名片在商业活动中很重要，但是因为疫情的原因，纸质名片的使用变得不现实，作为替代品的各类数字名片便应运而生。由此可知，Here is my QR code(这是我的数字名片)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。

32．答案：①on②was declared③to be heard④recognition⑤strengthening⑥globally⑦varieties⑧when⑨remarkable⑩an
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界诗歌日的建立和发展。
①考查介词。句意:每年的3月21日是世界诗歌日，旨在促进诗歌教学，以及这种写作形式的出版、写作和阅读。表示在具体某一天应用介词on。故填on。
②考查时态语态。句意:联合国教科文组织于1999年宣布世界语言日，希望通过诗意的表达来支持语言多样性，并增加濒危语言被听到的机会。主语It与谓语构成被动关系，根据后文in 1999可知为一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was
declared.
③考查时态语态。句意:联合国教科文组织于1999年宣布世界语言日，希望通过诗意的表达来支持语言多样性，并增加濒危语言被听到的机会。此处hear与languages构成被动关系，且为不定式作后置定语，应用to be done形式。故填to be heard。
④考查名词。句意:世界诗歌日旨在为国际、区域和国家诗歌运动注入新的动力和认可。作动词的宾语，应用名词recognition，不可数。故填recognition。

⑨考查形容词。句意:举行仪式是为了纪念有杰出成就的诗人。修饰名词achievements应用形容词remarkable，作定语。故填remarkable。
⑩考查冠词。句意:总而言之，这是一个诗歌的日子:这是一种古老的艺术形式，至今仍丰富着我们对人性的理解。art为泛指，且ancient是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
33．答案：
Learning English Beyond the Classroom
Nowadays, with the growing popularity of smartphones and computers, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in various ways.
It can easily be seen that the percentage of students who choose listening to English songs and watching English movies is respectively 65% and 50%. However, those choosing reading English books and visiting English learning websites only account for 18% and 12%.
As far as I’m concerned, it is a disturbing trend. For students, what benefits most to their study is reading English books. Because of their lack of self-discipline, they’re more easily addicted to chatting online or playing games. It’s urgent for students themselves to improve their self-discipline, and it’s also urgent for parents and teachers to strengthen the guidance.

34．答案：
Paragraph 1:
I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling. “Hey, Chad, I guess, we might have different ideas of what’s funny,” I began, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. I continued to explain that I did love our food jokes, but I didn’t think that ‘enemy bracelet’ comment was funny. I also mentioned the incident with Amy, emphasizing that it felt like he was making fun of her, not the situation. “Basically, I think laughing with people is way more fun than laughing at them.” (84 words)
Paragraph 2:
After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came. “You’re right. I didn’t realize my jokes could be hurtful. I’m sorry,” he admitted, his eyes reflecting a newfound understanding. A wave of relief washed over me as I responded, “I appreciate your apology, Chad. Let’s go back to the jokes that make everyone laugh, alright ” His smile slowly returned, genuine and beautiful. From that day on, our friendship was once again filled with laughter and the rest of the summer camp was a mix of activities and joy, just the way it was meant to be. (87 words)
