Maggie was looking for a chance to do something good during her summer break from college. She wanted to find an activity that combined her interests and she found the perfect opportunity at a local animal shelter. “I thought about volunteering and I’ve always loved animals and photography,” she said.
For the past two weeks, Maggie has been taking portraits (肖像) of cats and dogs at an animal shelter in Kentucky. The idea came to her after she read articles saying that animals with good photos are more likely to get adopted than those without. “So I just called the shelter and asked if I could come in and they seemed really grateful.” said Maggie.
Maggie said that the shelter is in a rural area that’s difficult to reach. But since her photos were added to the shelter’s Facebook page, “they say they can’t believe how many calls they’ve been getting.”
Part of her success, she said, is that she gets to know the dogs before taking their portrait. There’s Blinky. “She absolutely loves to go out and run and is a super sweet dog that loves taking photos. She just smiles at me and everything.” said Maggie. There’s also Jersey, a one-year-old female dog that Maggie describes as calm and well-mannered.
The phenomenon in which pet adopters shun dark coated dogs is called black dog syndrome (综合征). But it is unclear how much the issue actually affects pet adoptions. A 2002 study found that black fur negatively influenced adoption rates for dogs. According to the report, Black dogs had the least likelihood of being adopted compared to dogs of all other colors.
Maggie said at least one of those dogs had been adopted several weeks before. “When I came in today people at the shelter told me that many people had come in and talked about how the photos made them want to come to the shelter,” she added proudly.
24.What inspired Maggie to take photos of dogs
A.Attractive photos of a black dog.
B.Articles on animal adoption.
C.A call from an animal shelter.
D.A part-time job in summer break.
25.What does paragraph 4 show about Maggie
A.She fully appreciates beauty in nature.
B.She develops professional photography skills.
C.She impresses pet adopters with good manners.
D.She learns about dogs’ personality before photographing them
26.What does the underlined word “shun” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Avoid. B.Rescue. C.Raise. D.Train.
27.What does Maggie say about her photos
A.They should involve more types of pets.
B.They have won her more business orders.
C.They failed to help a pet find a home.
D.They attracted much public attention for the shelter.
C
Scientists have been surprised and impressed with the long-distance travel of a bird recently, a common cuckoo (布谷鸟) which flew from southern Africa to Mongolia.
Onon is a common cuckoo. It’s one of 5 cuckoos who were tagged last summer in Mongolia, far to the north of China. Though cuckoos originally came from Africa, until recently scientists weren’t sure that cuckoos from Mongolia flew to Africa for the winter.
In June, 2019, scientists attached tiny trackers to five cuckoos. These satellite tags allowed the scientists to follow the movements of the birds on a map. Sure enough, Onon spent the winter in southern Africa — in Zambia.
This spring, Onon returned to Mongolia, amazing scientists once again with his long-distance flying. In just a couple of months, Onon flew more than 12,000 kilometers. It crossed 16 countries, flying at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Long migrations are common among sea birds, but cuckoos are land birds. “It was one of the longest animal migrations which has been recorded for a land bird,” said Chris Hewson, one of the project’s lead scientists.
At times, Onon stopped for a few hours or a few days. But some of the long stretches, like crossing the Indian Ocean, had to be done without stopping. The birds have to travel through strong winds and storms, make sure they find enough to eat, and avoid being eaten themselves.
Luckily, cuckoos seem to have a good sense of weather patterns, allowing them to fatten up as much as possible right before they leave. They also seem to be good at finding helpful winds that allow them to travel long distances without getting too tired. Still, flying such long distances isn’t easy. Onon is the only one of the five tagged cuckoos who made it all the way back to Mongolia.
28.Why were satellite tags attached to five cuckoos
A.To make them safe. B.To position the birds.
C.To draw a detailed map. D.To observe them in winter.
29.How did scientists feel when knowing Onon returned to Mongolia
A.Delighted. B.Astonished. C.Puzzled. D.Annoyed.
30.Why is crossing the Indian Ocean mentioned
A.Because it is very dangerous. B.Because it is well-known.
C.Because it is a place to go. D.Because it is rich in food.
31.What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A.Cuckoos’ advantages. B.Cuckoos’ senses.
C.Cuckoos’ habits. D.Cuckoos’ will.
D
Now, Tenjen Sherpa, a Nepalese mountain guide, has set a new goal for himself; to become the youngest person to conquer all the peaks twice.
Last month, together with Norwegian climber Kristin Harila, Tenjen, 35 years old, broke the previous record for the fastest climb of the 8,000-meter-plus mountains. In just 92 days, they reached the final summit, K2, surpassing the previous record of 189 days.
Tenjen is now preparing for his next challenge, starting with a climb of Mount Shishapangma in China within the next two months. He has already successfully climbed seven of the peaks twice and aims to conquer the remaining seven by next spring.
His journey began in 2016 when he first climbed Mount Dhaulagiri in Nepal. Since then, he has made several similar climbs each year, including four trips to Mount Everest. Particularly, Tenjen and his three brothers also hold a record as the most siblings to summit Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-tallest mountain, behind Everest and K2.
Tenjen started working as a mountain guide to back his family. In April, he joined Harila’s expedition to Mount Sh shapangma, hired by the Kathmandu-based company Seven Summits Treks. Together, they continued their journey, conquering the rest of the peaks.
Tenjen plans to climb Shishapangma for the second time in the upcoming fall, carrying pictures of a deceased brother who never had the opportunity to conquer this mountain. He intends to bury these images at the mountaintop.
Tenjen told Associated Press that Sherpas do not get enough government recognition for their hard work.“It is not possible to just continue climbing mountains as you grow older, so what else is there than to think of migrating abroad,” Tenjen pointed out.
Tenjen never attended school growing up. He has difficulty reading and writing. But, living in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, his children are able to get an education. Tenjen thinks, though, that since more children will be growing up in cities in the future, they will not have the skills to become Sherpas.
32.What is Tenjen’s new goal
A.To climb all the mountains twice. B.To climb Mount Everest alone.
C.To break the record with Harila.. D.To set a new peak-climbing record.
33.Why did Tenjen become a mountain guide initially
A.To support his family. B.To break climbing records.
C.To explore the world’s mountains. D.To join an expedition with Norwegians.
34.What does the underlined word“deceased”mean in Paragraph 6
A.Injured. B.Late. C.Disabled. D.Upset.
35.What is Tenjen concerned about
A.Children will be lacking in Sherpas’ skills.
B.Children will have no access to education.
C.Children will face increasing competition.
D.Children will struggle for job opportunities.

How to stay healthy on holiday
Taking time to relax on holiday may be good for our health. 36 . Here’s how to stay healthy when you travel.

Besides the stress of organizing your break in the first place, there’s the added anxiety of remembering to buy and pack everything you need, as well as getting where you need to go on time.

Then start packing several weeks in advance, giving yourself time to buy some daily necessities. 37 .

Try to forget the cares of everyday life. You can achieve this by ensuring you don’t check emails or social media, or feel obligated to use it to record your best holiday moments. Ideally, turn off notices, limit your screen time and try to focus on the present moment. That will enable you to relax and make special memories.
Eat and drink well and mindfully
39 . Take time to really enjoy all the flavors. However, you should be aware that too many alcoholic drinks can cause “holiday heart”, characterized by an irregular rhythm. What’s worse, if you’re holidaying in a hot climate, that can also result in dehydration (脱水).
Get active
Try a new activity. Consider walking and swimming or tennis. 40 . Remember that being active not only helps you stay fit during the holiday, but also makes you feel fitter and more refreshed once you’re back.
A.Ignore all the barriers in life
B.Get rid of the digital addiction
C.But there’s a physical reason for this
D.However, too much relaxation also has opposite effects
E.Part of the fun of going away is experiencing the cuisine of other places

It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly 53 with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.

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。
Louisa Cantoni became aware of a young man leaning against the side of her house, a cigarette hanging from his mouth. He looked to be 13 or 14 years old with threatening, dark brown eyes.
When she was younger, the little ones would flock around her. They loved her Italian accent and flowers and always stayed nearby when it was tomato season, popping her sweet tomatoes into their mouths. Those sweet memories were just that. So much had changed in the neighborhood. The Italian section of the downtown area had been turned into low-rent housing and overgrown yards. New renters had just moved in and worn her out with all the rudeness, the shouting, and the sad faces of the grannies.
One day, Louisa was harvesting the last of her vegetables when a shadow appeared from behind her. She knew it was the boy. “What, what do you want from me ” She asked in a tired tone. The boy stood silent for a while. “My momma, she likes flowers, show me how ” he offered. “Show you what, how to be a nice person ” Louisa had no interest in showing this boy anything. “Show me how to grow those.” He pointed to the flowers. Louisa sighed. “Just go on away and leave me alone.”
“You ain’t gotta be so mean,” Jevon murmured and left.
The next day, the boy came as usual, but she noticed he was different, younger, innocent and beautiful with smooth brown skin and broad shoulders.
“What is your name, young man ” She asked.
“My name Jevon.”
“Thank you, I am Louisa. Miss Louisa to you.” She stuck out her hand which he reluctantly shook. “What is it you want from me You stare at me; you steal my zinnias(百日菊). That’s not nice, Jevon.”
“I want to learn how to grow a flower for my momma.” He sounded like a little boy.
“I have rules, Jevon. No rudeness, no hoodie(连帽衫), pull your pants up, and no cigarettes, ever.”
“You’re not my momma. I don’t have to do any of that,” he responded.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Five days later, Jevon showed up in a clean T-shirt and belted pants.

36.本空位于第一段中间,前文“Taking time to relax on holiday may be good for our health.(假期花时间放松一下可能对我们的健康有好处)”提到度假对健康有好处,而后文“Here’s how to stay healthy when you travel.(以下是如何在旅行时保持健康的方法)”又提出要介绍如何在度假期间保持健康,由此推断设空处为转折,指出采取措施在度假期间保持健康的原因,D项意为“太多娱乐放松活动也会带来相反的影响(对健康不利)”,符合语境,故选D项。
37.根据本段第一句“Besides the stress of organizing your break in the first place, there’s the added anxiety of remembering to buy and pack everything you need, as well as getting where you need to go on time.(除了一开始组织假期的压力外,还有记住购买和打包你需要的一切,以及准时到达你需要去的地方的额外焦虑)”可知,作者提到了在准备旅行的过程中容易引起焦虑的情况,其中一种则是及时到达要去的地方,而后文针对前面的每一种情况均给出了建议,唯独关于及时到达的问题没有信息。此外,本段从第二句“To avoid this, as soon as you’ve booked your holiday, list the travel documents you’ll need.(为了避免这种情况,一旦你预订了假期,列出你需要的旅行证件)”开始以时间为序,依次介绍了在出行准备阶段需要做的事,据此推断设空处为最后阶段的准备。F项意为“在出发那天留足够的时间去机场或码头”,符合语境,故选F项。
38.根据本段内容“Try to forget the cares of everyday life. You can achieve this by ensuring you don’t check emails or social media, or feel obligated to use it to record your best holiday moments. Ideally, turn off notices, limit your screen time and try to focus on the present moment. That will enable you to relax and make special memories.(试着忘掉日常生活的烦恼。你可以通过确保你不查看电子邮件或社交媒体来实现这一点,或者觉得有义务用它来记录你最好的假期时刻。理想情况下,关掉通知,限制你看屏幕的时间,试着把注意力集中在当下。这会让你放松下来,留下特别的回忆)”可知,本题为第三段小标题,概括可知本段主要建议在旅行期间避免使用社交媒体和电子产品,以达到远离之前生活中的烦恼,B项意为“摆脱电子瘾”,符合本段大意,故选B项。
39.本段主要针对旅行期间的饮食提出建议,根据后文“Take time to really enjoy all the flavors.(花点时间真正享受所有的味道)”建议读者要尽情享受各种不同的味道,E项意为“出去旅行的乐趣之一就在于享受不同地方的美食”,符合语境,故选E项。
40.本段建议读者在旅行期间积极锻炼,本题前文“Try a new activity. Consider walking and swimming or tennis.(尝试一项新的活动。可以考虑散步、游泳或打网球)”提出了一些锻炼项目的建议,G项意为“如果你身处天气炎热的地方,最好是在早晚进行锻炼”,紧承上文给出进一步的建议,符合语境,故选G项。
41.A 42.C 43.B 44.D 45.D 46.A 47.B 48.C 49.C 50.A 51.C 52.B 53.D 54.D 55.B

Why don’t you make her some ____5____ and we’ll take them to her this afternoon ””可知,母亲告诉作者朋友Jamie也处于困难的境地,建议作者做点东西下午带给他,由此可知,上下文之间为转折关系,所以此处使用“反而”符合逻辑。故选D项。

56.an 57.surveyed 58.has conducted 59.Teenagers 60.higher 61.acknowledging 62.themselves 63.if 64.on 65.who
【导语】本文为说明文。文章通过引用保险公司State Farm的民调数据来说明分心驾驶,特别是开车时使用智能手机的问题,并分析了这一行为的主要群体特征及其潜在危害。
56.考查冠词。句意:州立农场保险公司,一家保险公司,进行的新民调再次证明,路上到处都是傻瓜。insurance company为可数名词单数形式,此处表示泛指“一家保险公司”,且insurance发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:在去年11月接受调查的912名司机中,有五分之一的人承认在开车时访问智能手机上的互联网。本句谓语为admitted,此处为非谓语动词,survey“调查”与drivers之间为动宾关系,且表示动作已完成,因此用过去分词,作后置定语。故填surveyed。
58.考查时态、主谓一致。句意:在过去几个月里,该公司进行了更深入的研究。conduct“实施”。根据时间状语Over the past several months可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语the company为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has conducted。
59.考查名词的数。句意:青少年和年轻人更沉迷于他们的手机,而且他们也是经验较少的司机,这是道路上存在危险的一个原因,可能有更高的比例在开车时使用智能手机。teenager“青少年”为可数名词,青少年不止一个,应用名词复数形式,与young adults并列,作主语。故填Teenagers。
60.考查形容词比较级。句意:青少年和年轻人更沉迷于他们的手机,而且他们也是经验较少的司机,这是道路上存在危险的一个原因,可能有更高的比例在开车时使用智能手机。根据上文less experienced drivers可知,此处暗含比较,应用比较级形式higher“更高的”,作定语,修饰名词percentage。故填higher。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管承认了危险,但似乎没有一个有罪的司机为自己感到羞耻。despite为介词,后接acknowledge“承认”的动名词acknowledging,作Despite的宾语。故填acknowledging。
62.考查代词。句意:尽管承认了危险,但似乎没有一个有罪的司机为自己感到羞耻。司机们没有为“他们自己的行为”感到羞耻,此处用反身代词themselves“他们自己”,来指代上下文中提及到的the guilty drivers“内疚的司机”他们自己,作of的宾语。故填themselves。
63.考查条件状语从句。句意:也许,在某种程度上,如果没有发生近乎事故或实际的撞车事故,这种行为永远不会改变。空处引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”,应用if引导。故填if。
64.考查介词。句意:即便如此,这种改变也只会发生在每个个案的基础上,它将无辜者的生命和福祉置于那些懒得改变习惯的人的摆布之下。on the basis of为固定短语,意为“基于……”。故填on。
65.考查定语从句。句意:即便如此,这种改变也只会发生在每个个案的基础上,它将无辜者的生命和福祉置于那些懒得改变习惯的人的摆布之下。空处引导定语从句,先行词是those,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导。故填who。

【答案】
Five days later, Jevon showed up in a clean T-shirt and belted pants. Louisa had a kit ready for him. The beautiful boy began to emerge. He smiled a genuine smile at Louisa. She felt a wave of warmth through her body while she watched the boy carefully plant the seeds. They tracked the growth of the seeds every day. Louisa provided him with various seeds which he could develop and books which could nourish his mind. With every sprout, the boy bloomed. Finally, he bid farewell to Miss Louisa with skills to manage a beautiful garden for his mother and more.
Time flying, Jevon became a Harvard freshman, eager to see Miss Louisa. Gently holding a bunch of zinnias, he knocked at the door of Miss Louisa. Seeing a handsome young man, strange but seemingly familiar, Miss Louisa was surprised but still recognized him immediately. After a long conversation concerning his life with Miss Louisa, he gratefully stressed, “It is you who have made me a man and taught me kindness. It is you who have taught me how to grow things both in the dirt and in my mind. Thank you for giving me a chance to be who I am today.”
