An important businessman was asked to give a twenty－minute speech in another city. He was too busy to write it himself, so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk. She typed one out for him, and he picked it just in time to rush off to his plane. But when he gave his speech, it ran on for an hour，and the audience was bored by the end of it. When the businessman got back to his office，he complained to his secretary about this. “I told you it should be a twenty－minute speech，” he said to her angrily.“That's what I gave you，” she answered，“the original and the two copies. The original for you to read at the meeting and the two copies for the file.”

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone ; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her makebelieve little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll well dressed. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her “conversation”， as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I'm all fed up and I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach... And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play—don't you know what I mean？”
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words which cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed because in my heart I realize that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore.
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.

The number of bicycle trips has increased greatly over the past several months, according to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT).
Mike West, a 33yearold father of two children, lives in Daybreak. Two months ago, a friend offered to lend the West family his tricycle cargo bike (三轮载货自行车). The first time the family took a ride together, they were all hooked__．
“My youngest son's got a bike, but he can't really go very far，” West said. “When he was in the cargo bike, it was like his happy place. I thought it was so cool that you can put a family in a bike and they can bike around.”
Following the first ride, the family immediately bought a cargo bike of their own and biking has now become their primary form of transportation.
“It's about being together as a family, but also just being outside you get more sensory input (感官输入) on a bike than you do in a car，” West said.“You feel the wind in your hair, you can see things, and you hear all the noises. That's one thing about it that we love.”
“Bike trips have increased 52% in 2020, which is not only having a good influence on traffic jams, but also on the physical health of community members，” said UDOT spokesman John Gleason.
Gleason warns bicyclists to wear bright clothing to make themselves visible (看得见的) to drivers of motorized vehicles (机动车辆), and for them to be on the lookout. “We're just asking drivers to watch out for bicyclists in places where maybe they wouldn't normally see them, and for bicyclists to make sure that they're seen，” he said.“Make sure they understand that just because they see the vehicles doesn't mean that the drivers of those vehicles see them. Do everything that you can to follow the rules of the road for both drivers and pedestrians(行人).”

If you visit Rwanda's capital city of Kigali, you'll see how the COVID19 pandemic has changed the city. There are dozens of handwashing basins at the city's bus stations that allow passengers to wash their hands before getting on the bus. Layla Mc Cay, director of the Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health in the AUAS told the BBC, “If everyone was washing their hands actively, we would see a reduction in all types of infection.”
In fact, every time there is a serious disease outbreak somewhere in the world, city planners come up with new ideas to fight it. Pandemics have been shaping our cities for a long time.
In 1854, for example, a cholera (霍乱) outbreak in London, UK led to the design of modern sewers (下水道). At that time, Londoners' drinking water came from groundwater. It was heavily polluted by wastewater. The sewer system separated the wastewater from the groundwater. This stopped the spread of cholera. “By sewering certain towns in England, the death rate from lung diseases alone was reduced by 50 percent, ” George Pierson wrote in his book The Separate System of Sewerage.
In New York, US, tuberculosis(肺结核)killed many people in the early 1900s. One reason was the overcrowded conditions in apartment buildings. Eventually the New York government made laws that required all apartments to have air shafts, windows, running water and indoor toilets.
During this year's pandemic, Mayor of Paris Anne Hidaogo introduced the idea of decentralizing__the__city__—every neighborhood should have a mix of stores, homes, offices, and other important buildings. Every basic need should be just a 15minute walk away. This would reduce crowding on public transportation and prevent the spread of disease.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例说明了世界一些国家为防止传染病流行所采取的措施， 这些措施在塑造改变着城市。

D．The government provides facilities to reduce the risk of infection.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中There are dozens of handwashing basins at the city's bus stations ...可以推断， Kigali政府提供设施以减少感染的风险。

A．Allowing the city more focused.
B．Making the city more attractive.
C．Dividing the city into several parts.
D．Having the city less central.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据下文可知， 是把生活所需的重要场所分散到每个街区， 减少公共交通的拥挤， 防止疾病传播， 进而推断画线短语decentralizing the city意思是“使城市重要设施不那么集中”。
34．How does the author support his idea？( )
A．By listing examples.
B．By giving comments.
C．By making comparison.
D．By following the order of time.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段英国伦敦暴发霍乱， 于是设计了现代化的污水系统，以及在美国纽约等事例可知， 作者是通过事例来支持自己的观点的。

Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 36(____)
The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 37(____)
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 38(____) Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
39(____) Take the language system for example.In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 40(____) But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B．One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C．And these two are wellknown as the base of the European culture.
D．At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

56．答案：to promote
解析：考查非谓语动词。try to do sth.表示“努力做某事”。故填to promote。
57．答案：helps
解析：考查时态和主谓一致。根据后文every week可知，应用一般现在时；主语后接介词短语together with时，谓语动词应根据主语的人称和数来确定，即谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填helps。
58．答案：for
解析：考查介词。be admired for因……受人尊敬。故填for。
59．答案：is known
解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。be known as“被称为……，以……著称”；结合语境可知应用一般现在时，主语为Gan，谓语动词用单数。故填is known。
60．答案：initially
解析：考查副词。修饰动词encourage应用副词，作状语。故填initially。
61．答案：featuring
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，feature在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语short videos构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作定语。故填featuring。
62．答案：which
解析：考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰上文fruit from their family orchard，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
63．答案：agricultural
解析：考查词性转换。修饰空后名词products应用形容词。故填agricultural。
64．答案：a
解析：考查冠词。success此处为抽象名词具体化，表示“成功的事物”，为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且great的首字母发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
65．答案：achievement(s)
解析：考查词性转换。空处作宾语，表示“成就”应用名词achievement，此处可用单数也可用复数形式。故填achievement(s)。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的短文。
It seems that friendship can also exist between dogs and horses. I've witnessed one inspiring case.
One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture's center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree. So this was what held Bullet's attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I'd give him some cookies he loved most.
I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn't a threat. As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn't know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse's kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again.
The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog—a female—chewing on the alfalfa. She must be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She'd probably come for the meat when I was out of sight.
Minutes later, I realized I hadn't yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me.

参考范文：
Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. The dog watched as I threw cookies over the fence. I noticed she hadn't gotten the courage to venture outside the fence to get the meat. I went back to the porch, trying to think of a way to make the dog overcome her fear and come for the meat. Noticing Bullet was eating, the dog began to move forward slowly, watching me all the while. “He might share his alfalfa with you, but he'll never let you eat his favorite cookies！” I said to myself.
But Bullet didn't care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. The dog soon swallowed the cookie, and then took more. When Bullet walked back toward the tree's shade, the dog walked along. All day long, they stayed together. The next day, Bullet still shared his food with the dog. And I managed to make the dog get out of the pasture and adopted her. Although she eventually warmed to me, she always loved Bullet's company most. They'd run joyfully together and rest together. And often Bullet touched the dog with his nose and she licked his face. I knew they had become close friends.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone ; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her makebelieve little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll well dressed. It was obvious that she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her “conversation”， as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I'm all fed up and I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach... And she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play—don't you know what I mean？”
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words which cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.
But now my attitude has changed because in my heart I realize that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore.
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood and we will never get another.

The number of bicycle trips has increased greatly over the past several months, according to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT).
Mike West, a 33yearold father of two children, lives in Daybreak. Two months ago, a friend offered to lend the West family his tricycle cargo bike (三轮载货自行车). The first time the family took a ride together, they were all hooked__．
“My youngest son's got a bike, but he can't really go very far，” West said. “When he was in the cargo bike, it was like his happy place. I thought it was so cool that you can put a family in a bike and they can bike around.”
Following the first ride, the family immediately bought a cargo bike of their own and biking has now become their primary form of transportation.
“It's about being together as a family, but also just being outside you get more sensory input (感官输入) on a bike than you do in a car，” West said.“You feel the wind in your hair, you can see things, and you hear all the noises. That's one thing about it that we love.”
“Bike trips have increased 52% in 2020, which is not only having a good influence on traffic jams, but also on the physical health of community members，” said UDOT spokesman John Gleason.
Gleason warns bicyclists to wear bright clothing to make themselves visible (看得见的) to drivers of motorized vehicles (机动车辆), and for them to be on the lookout. “We're just asking drivers to watch out for bicyclists in places where maybe they wouldn't normally see them, and for bicyclists to make sure that they're seen，” he said.“Make sure they understand that just because they see the vehicles doesn't mean that the drivers of those vehicles see them. Do everything that you can to follow the rules of the road for both drivers and pedestrians(行人).”

If you visit Rwanda's capital city of Kigali, you'll see how the COVID19 pandemic has changed the city. There are dozens of handwashing basins at the city's bus stations that allow passengers to wash their hands before getting on the bus. Layla Mc Cay, director of the Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health in the AUAS told the BBC, “If everyone was washing their hands actively, we would see a reduction in all types of infection.”
In fact, every time there is a serious disease outbreak somewhere in the world, city planners come up with new ideas to fight it. Pandemics have been shaping our cities for a long time.
In 1854, for example, a cholera (霍乱) outbreak in London, UK led to the design of modern sewers (下水道). At that time, Londoners' drinking water came from groundwater. It was heavily polluted by wastewater. The sewer system separated the wastewater from the groundwater. This stopped the spread of cholera. “By sewering certain towns in England, the death rate from lung diseases alone was reduced by 50 percent, ” George Pierson wrote in his book The Separate System of Sewerage.
In New York, US, tuberculosis(肺结核)killed many people in the early 1900s. One reason was the overcrowded conditions in apartment buildings. Eventually the New York government made laws that required all apartments to have air shafts, windows, running water and indoor toilets.
During this year's pandemic, Mayor of Paris Anne Hidaogo introduced the idea of decentralizing the city —every neighborhood should have a mix of stores, homes, offices, and other important buildings. Every basic need should be just a 15minute walk away. This would reduce crowding on public transportation and prevent the spread of disease.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例说明了世界一些国家为防止传染病流行所采取的措施， 这些措施在塑造改变着城市。

Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 36(____)
The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 37(____)
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 38(____) Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
39(____) Take the language system for example.In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 40(____) But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B．One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C．And these two are wellknown as the base of the European culture.
D．At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了40岁的农民兼家庭主妇甘有琴通过分享乡村生活并在网上推广相关产品，在促进农产品销售方面取得了巨大成功。
56．答案：to promote
解析：考查非谓语动词。try to do sth.表示“努力做某事”。故填to promote。
57．答案：helps
解析：考查时态和主谓一致。根据后文every week可知，应用一般现在时；主语后接介词短语together with时，谓语动词应根据主语的人称和数来确定，即谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填helps。
58．答案：for
解析：考查介词。be admired for因……受人尊敬。故填for。
59．答案：is known
解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。be known as“被称为……，以……著称”；结合语境可知应用一般现在时，主语为Gan，谓语动词用单数。故填is known。
60．答案：initially
解析：考查副词。修饰动词encourage应用副词，作状语。故填initially。
61．答案：featuring
解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，feature在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语short videos构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作定语。故填featuring。
62．答案：which
解析：考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰上文fruit from their family orchard，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
63．答案：agricultural
解析：考查词性转换。修饰空后名词products应用形容词。故填agricultural。
64．答案：a
解析：考查冠词。success此处为抽象名词具体化，表示“成功的事物”，为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且great的首字母发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
65．答案：achievement(s)
解析：考查词性转换。空处作宾语，表示“成就”应用名词achievement，此处可用单数也可用复数形式。故填achievement(s)。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的短文。
It seems that friendship can also exist between dogs and horses. I've witnessed one inspiring case.
One morning, I went outside to feed our horse Bullet. Usually, Bullet waits eagerly at the fence for his breakfast. But this morning he stayed near a tree in the pasture's center. As he began joyfully walking toward me, I noticed a dog lying in the tall grass beneath the tree.
So this was what held Bullet's attention this morning: a homeless dog. Most of the homeless dogs shied away from our large Bullet, but this one seemed to feel safe in the shelter of the tall grass regardless of Bullet. I placed alfalfa cubes inside the fence. After Bullet ate them, I'd give him some cookies he loved most.
I walked back to my porch and sat down. As Bullet ate alfalfa, the dog stood up cautiously, stared at Bullet for long and then slowly walked toward Bullet. The dog often paused and looked at me to ensure I wasn't a threat.
As the dog drew closer to Bullet, I held my breath. I didn't know how Bullet would react to an animal that approached while he was eating. Knowing a horse's kick can kill a dog, I decided to scare the dog away. Just then Bullet swung his head and looked at the dog. Not minding it, he ate his food again.
The dog drew close enough to take an alfalfa cube. My heart broke as I watched the dog—a female—chewing on the alfalfa. She must be extremely hungry to attempt to eat horse feed. I went inside the house, carried some meat and walked toward the fence. The dog soon ran to the safety of the tall grass near the tree. I put the meat down outside the fence and went back inside the house. She'd probably come for the meat when I was out of sight.
Minutes later, I realized I hadn't yet given Bullet his cookies. I took some and went back outside. Amazingly, Bullet was lying down in the grass beneath the tree with the dog next to him. I smiled at the warm scene they created.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me.
__________________________________________________________
But Bullet didn't care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie.
___________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Knowing I carried his treat, Bullet got up quickly and ran to me. The dog watched as I threw cookies over the fence. I noticed she hadn't gotten the courage to venture outside the fence to get the meat. I went back to the porch, trying to think of a way to make the dog overcome her fear and come for the meat. Noticing Bullet was eating, the dog began to move forward slowly, watching me all the while. “He might share his alfalfa with you, but he'll never let you eat his favorite cookies！” I said to myself.
But Bullet didn't care as the dog jumped forward and took a cookie. The dog soon swallowed the cookie, and then took more. When Bullet walked back toward the tree's shade, the dog walked along. All day long, they stayed together. The next day, Bullet still shared his food with the dog. And I managed to make the dog get out of the pasture and adopted her. Although she eventually warmed to me, she always loved Bullet's company most. They'd run joyfully together and rest together. And often Bullet touched the dog with his nose and she licked his face. I knew they had become close friends.
