The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is
well attended by tourists, but even better attended by the locals.
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their
long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish
Line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles（马鞍）. Some even ride upside down—their legs and feet straight up in the air—all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different
horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!
24. The Sahara Festival ___________.
A. has a very long history in North Africa

Life expectancy(预期寿命) in the United States has been in decline for the first time in decades, and public health officials have identified a series of potential causes, including inaccessible health care, rising drug addiction and rates of mental health disorders, and social-economic factors. Now, a study led by the Yale School of Medicine has attempted to find out the relative impact of two factors most often related to life expectancy – race（种族） and education – by looking at data about 5,114 black and white participants in four U.S. cities.
Among the 5,114 people followed in the study, 395 had died. These deaths were occurring in working-age people, often with children, before the age of 60. The rates of death clearly showed racial differences, with about 9% of blacks dying at an early age compared to 6% of whites. There were also differences in causes of death by race. For instance, black men were more likely to die of murder and white men from AIDS. The most common causes of death across all groups over time were cardiovascular disease（心血管疾病） and cancer.
But there were also obvious differences in rates of death by education level. About 13% of participants with a high school degree or less education died compared with only approximately 5% of college graduates.
Surprisingly, when looking at race and education at the same time, the researchers found that differences related to race almost disappeared: 13.5% of black subjects（实验对象） and 13.2% of white subjects with a high school degree or less died during the course of the study. However, 5.9% of black subjects and 4.3% of whites with college degrees had died.
Therefore, improving education quality is something tangible that we can easily do to help reverse (扭转)this troubling trend in reduction of life expectancy among middle-aged adults.
28. What can we learn about the participants in the study?
A. The whites are more aggressive.
B. The whites got higher education.
C. More blacks than whites died young.
D. More whites than blacks died of cancer.
29. Compared with education, the influence of race on death rates is .
A. significant B. unnoticeable C. growing D. long-lasting
30. What does the underlined word 搕angible probably mean?
A. Realistic. B. Creative. C. Challenging. D. Temporary.
31. What can be inferred from the research findings？
A. People can get smart through learning.
B. One should not discriminate(歧视) other races.
C. People don’t enjoy equal rights for education.
D. One can live longer by getting more education.
D
The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played
your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred（神圣的）. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this
approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.
The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving（进化） thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed absolutely over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might
be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition
to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." However in recent years,
more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air."
Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why
spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions（例外）.
Of course many slang words（俚语） have been just short-lived fashion that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society(主流社会) and become acceptable. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression, or make up
your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.
32. When we begin to learn English, we think .
A. it is interesting to take up a new language
B. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeable
C. only grown-ups have the ability to affect a language
D. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
33. The pronunciation of words are changing because .
A. people speak in different ways B. the British don抰 agree with others
C. people adopted foreign words D. makers of dictionaries created them
34. Which of the following statement about English slang words is True?
A. All the slang words have become standard English.
B. English slang words are popular for a short time.
C. Some slang words have been accepted.
D. English slang words have different meanings actually.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. You can change the English language.
B. English is changing over years.
C. The British speaks differently from Americans.
D. Foreign words involved in English.

The 1940 Olympic Games in Tokyo and 1944 Olympic Games in London were finally cancelled because of the World War Ⅱ.

这是一篇说明文。文章提到如何找到喜欢做的事的方法。其中要求读者要根据自己的时间选择兴趣爱好；对自己的爱好进行调查；和那些与你有着相同兴趣的人聊天；尝试一个爱好并看看结果怎样。
【36题详解】文中第一句提到“something you enjoy doing”意为你喜欢做的事，即爱好。第三句提到“…help you make friends…”拥有一个爱好还能帮助你交朋友，即与人交往。由此可知，兴趣爱好可以让你和其他人联系起来，故选B。
【37题详解】根据第二段第二句“…take up a lot of time.”有些爱好，如集邮和园艺都需要花费很长的时间，但“…can be done at your own pace and do not require any extended time.”电子游戏、阅读等就可以按照自己的节奏完成，也不需要额外的时间。因此需选择一句跟时间有关的句子，且该空为该段第一句，应选择一句总起句，故选D。
【38题详解】第三段提到要对你选择的爱好进行研究调查，包括需要的时间和金钱等。该段最后一句提到“…our local library or phone book should also have information…”读者也可以在图书馆等地找到相关的信息，also意为“也”，可前文中出现过的信息在后文中再次出现时使用，因此该空中可选择一句查询兴趣爱好的方式。故选E。

10. sincerely改为sincere
这是一篇应用文。文章是作者因把借的朋友的CD带走了但不能及时归还，从而写了一封道歉信。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。hurry是名词，其前需要用冠词a，such a hurry如此匆忙。故在hurry前加a。
第二处：考查名词。luggage是不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将luggages改为luggage。

第四处：考查固定用法。such+a/an+形容词+名词；so+形容词+a/an+名词。故将such改为so。
第五处：考查代词。句意：现在必须做点什么来解决这个问题，因为我知道你非常珍惜这张CD。根据句意可知，此处是指做一些事情去解决问题。故将everything改为something。
第六处：考查副词。cherish是动词，需用enormous的副词来修饰，故将enormous改为enormously。
第七处：考查介词。句意：我可以用快递寄给你，或者以合理的价格补偿你。at a…price以……价格…..，故将in改为at。
第八处：next time可以充当连词，引导时间状语从句，因此，此处的when多余，故将when去掉。
第九处：考查非谓语动词。分析句式可知，Felt extremely guilty作状语，逻辑主语是I，和主语构成主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故将Felt改为Feeling。
第十处：考查形容词。apology是名词，其前要用形容词修饰，故将sincerely改为sincere。
【点睛】关于考查冠词，需要考生注意判断方法：弄清句子结构，若其后为名词，表泛指或特指意义，则可确定应用冠词（a, an, the ）。若是固定短语，可根据固定搭配选择适当的冠词。本题中的第一处可以按照此方法做题，hurry是名词，其前需要用冠词a，such a hurry如此匆忙。故在hurry前加a。

The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is
well attended by tourists, but even better attended by the locals.
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their
long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish
Line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles（马鞍）. Some even ride upside down—their legs and feet straight up in the air—all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different
horses. On and on they went. So fast and so wonderful!
24. The Sahara Festival ___________.

Life expectancy(预期寿命) in the United States has been in decline for the first time in decades, and public health officials have identified a series of potential causes, including inaccessible health care, rising drug addiction and rates of mental health disorders, and social-economic factors. Now, a study led by the Yale School of Medicine has attempted to find out the relative impact of two factors most often related to life expectancy – race（种族） and education – by looking at data about 5,114 black and white participants in four U.S. cities.
Among the 5,114 people followed in the study, 395 had died. These deaths were occurring in working-age people, often with children, before the age of 60. The rates of death clearly showed racial differences, with about 9% of blacks dying at an early age compared to 6% of whites. There were also differences in causes of death by race. For instance, black men were more likely to die of murder and white men from AIDS. The most common causes of death across all groups over time were cardiovascular disease（心血管疾病） and cancer.
But there were also obvious differences in rates of death by education level. About 13% of participants with a high school degree or less education died compared with only approximately 5% of college graduates.
Surprisingly, when looking at race and education at the same time, the researchers found that differences related to race almost disappeared: 13.5% of black subjects（实验对象） and 13.2% of white subjects with a high school degree or less died during the course of the study. However, 5.9% of black subjects and 4.3% of whites with college degrees had died.
Therefore, improving education quality is something tangible that we can easily do to help reverse (扭转)this troubling trend in reduction of life expectancy among middle-aged adults.
28. What can we learn about the participants in the study?
A. The whites are more aggressive.
B. The whites got higher education.
C. More blacks than whites died young.
D. More whites than blacks died of cancer.
29. Compared with education, the influence of race on death rates is .
A. significant B. unnoticeable C. growing D. long-lasting
30. What does the underlined word 搕angible probably mean?
A. Realistic. B. Creative. C. Challenging. D. Temporary.
31. What can be inferred from the research findings？
A. People can get smart through learning.
B. One should not discriminate(歧视) other races.
C. People don’t enjoy equal rights for education.
D. One can live longer by getting more education.
D
The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played
your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred（神圣的）. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this
approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.
The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving（进化） thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed absolutely over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might
be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition
to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." However in recent years,
more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air."
Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why
spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions（例外）.
Of course many slang words（俚语） have been just short-lived fashion that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society(主流社会) and become acceptable. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression, or make up
your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.
32. When we begin to learn English, we think .
A. it is interesting to take up a new language
B. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeable
C. only grown-ups have the ability to affect a language
D. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
33. The pronunciation of words are changing because .
A. people speak in different ways B. the British don抰 agree with others
C. people adopted foreign words D. makers of dictionaries created them
34. Which of the following statement about English slang words is True?
A. All the slang words have become standard English.
B. English slang words are popular for a short time.
C. Some slang words have been accepted.
D. English slang words have different meanings actually.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. You can change the English language.
B. English is changing over years.
C. The British speaks differently from Americans.
D. Foreign words involved in English.

In an interview with Japan抯 Nikkan Sports on April 28, Yoshiro Mori, the chairman of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, (aid the Tokyo Olympic Games would have to be cancelled if COVID-19 was not contained next year.
The outbreak has already forced a one-year postponement of the Olympic Games, which is currently scheduled to open on July 23, 2021, but Mori said there was no possibility of further postponement.

The 1940 Olympic Games in Tokyo and 1944 Olympic Games in London were finally cancelled because of the World War Ⅱ.

【38题详解】第三段提到要对你选择的爱好进行研究调查，包括需要的时间和金钱等。该段最后一句提到“…our local library or phone book should also have information…”读者也可以在图书馆等地找到相关的信息，also意为“也”，可前文中出现过的信息在后文中再次出现时使用，因此该空中可选择一句查询兴趣爱好的方式。故选E。
【39题详解】文中第四段建议和那些与你有着相同兴趣爱好的人进行聊天交流，与别人交流得到的信息是最直观且及时的。与F选项中first-hand knowledge相符。且F项中提到的interview意为“采访、访问”，与该段第一句中的“Talk with other people”意思相近，故选F。
【40题详解】文中第五段第二句提到“Challenge yourself to try a new activity you are interested in for a week or so.” 挑战自己，尝试一周左右一个你感兴趣的新活动。即对自己选择的爱好进行尝试，并查看尝试后的结果怎样。与C项相符，故选C。
【点睛】根据上下文词汇、重复词汇来锁定线索是七选五的解题技巧之一。可关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。如第一空后make friends意为交朋友，由此判断该空前句子的主要内容应与人交往有关。

10. sincerely改为sincere
这是一篇应用文。文章是作者因把借的朋友的CD带走了但不能及时归还，从而写了一封道歉信。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。hurry是名词，其前需要用冠词a，such a hurry如此匆忙。故在hurry前加a。
第二处：考查名词。luggage是不可数名词，没有复数形式。故将luggages改为luggage。
第三处：考查时态。句意：如果当时我多注意一点，我就不会犯这么愚蠢的错误了。根据句意可知，这是个虚拟语气，是对过去的虚拟，从句用had done。故将have改为had。
第四处：考查固定用法。such+a/an+形容词+名词；so+形容词+a/an+名词。故将such改为so。
第五处：考查代词。句意：现在必须做点什么来解决这个问题，因为我知道你非常珍惜这张CD。根据句意可知，此处是指做一些事情去解决问题。故将everything改为something。
第六处：考查副词。cherish是动词，需用enormous的副词来修饰，故将enormous改为enormously。
第七处：考查介词。句意：我可以用快递寄给你，或者以合理的价格补偿你。at a…price以……价格…..，故将in改为at。
第八处：next time可以充当连词，引导时间状语从句，因此，此处的when多余，故将when去掉。
第九处：考查非谓语动词。分析句式可知，Felt extremely guilty作状语，逻辑主语是I，和主语构成主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故将Felt改为Feeling。
第十处：考查形容词。apology是名词，其前要用形容词修饰，故将sincerely改为sincere。
【点睛】关于考查冠词，需要考生注意判断方法：弄清句子结构，若其后为名词，表泛指或特指意义，则可确定应用冠词（a, an, the ）。若是固定短语，可根据固定搭配选择适当的冠词。本题中的第一处可以按照此方法做题，hurry是名词，其前需要用冠词a，such a hurry如此匆忙。故在hurry前加a。
