2、ted in the pubs, restaurants and through mindless shopping. Free of any financial worries, I was spending without thinking.

3、pping. I could continue to pay my bills, including mortgages, broadband(宽带), phone bill, charity donations, life insurances, money to help my family and basic groceries. It was not easy, especially in the first few months. There were lows, such as when I missed my favourite jazz concerts and hit fil

4、ms. There have also been some awkward moments when Ive turned up to a friends house for dinner empty-handed. I did a lot of washing up at my friends houses in return this year. I did find new ways to live, however. Using sites such as Eventbrite I have been to film screenings, wine tasting evenings

5、and theatre productions for free. Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and Ive been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before.

10、ding. Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. I instantly felt the urge to help out with that, he sa

11、id. Josh set a fund-raising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didnt shake his faith. He devoted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbours, got publicity from local newspapers, and

12、 placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change. Joshs fund-raising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $ 30, 000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the pr

13、ovince of Ontario. The event raised $ 19,000. I didnt care how long it took me, said Josh. I would raise $100,000. With three weeks left, a company called Joshs house offered to donate $ 18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $ 134,000 before the deadline. The momentum just kept going, and we d

18、oy with a Warm Heart3. I watched my Dad close the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running a fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown (封闭) starting

19、on January 23. The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggests that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and wh

20、ether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday. On their second day away, my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw my mom was lying there with an oxygen mask and that my dad could not

21、talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own. But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to be put in quarantine(隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to bacterial infections but not COVID-19.Everything

22、there was hectic (忙碌的), there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes. They would work a whole day preparing for new patients

23、 and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calm way. And they are all from other

24、cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them are just three or four years older than me. When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: Thats what were here for.1.When did the authors paren

26、 of the patients understood the doctors and nurses.C.he patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired.D.The author didnt get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older.4.What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage?A.Ad

27、mirable.B.Outgoing.C.Impatient.Thankful.4. Todays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a uniq

28、ue position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. There are

29、 relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers, Padilla-Walker said. This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistencewhich can be taughtare key to a childs life success. Researchers determined that dads need to practice an authoritative parenting style. Auth

30、oritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropr

31、iate level of autonomy (自主权). In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in sch

32、ool. This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.1.What is special about the BYU professors study?A.It centered on fa

33、thers role in parenting.B.It was based on a number of large families.C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D.It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.2.What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A.Ignore their demands.B.Make decisions for them.C.Control their b

34、ehaviors.D.Explain the rules to them.3.Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A.Single parents.B.Children aged from 11 to 14.C.Authoritarian fathers.D.Mothers in two-parent homes.4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Three Characteristics of Aut

35、horitative FathersB.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC.Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD.Family Relationship Influences School Performance二、七选五5.

52、 trees. It was always great fun spending the holidays at Grandpas place. This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfathers village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.

53、Grandpas house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front doorone was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks.

54、 They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts. One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned (辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He dung(紧抱) to his grandp

61、没有动摇他的信念,他开始到处筹资。由此可以看出Josh是坚定的,不可动摇的,因此用determined(坚定的)最恰当。故选D。A项“小心的”,B项“坦率的”,C项“思想开明的”,均不符合题意。2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Four months before his deadline.

69、igham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.就报告了研究结果,所以C项合理。5.答案：GBCDA解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭作业给学生带来的益处:锻炼学生的时间管理能力、老师的积极评价帮助学生树立自信等,同时也指出家庭作业应当适当布置,否则就会变成一种惩罚。根据上文Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and at-home

70、activities teachers assign to students. It can include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired skills.可知,家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生的家庭活动组成,它可以包括强调新获得的技能的实践作业;根据下文Projects that have to be worked on in agreement with schoolwork also form a part of homework.可知,家庭作业也包括与学校作业一致的活动。由此可推断此处也应介绍家庭作业的类型。上文中

71、的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments,G项(它可以是准备作业,使学生为课堂活动做好准备。)符合文意,故选G。本句位于段首,有总领全段的作用。后文介绍了家庭作业给学生带来的好处,如锻炼学生管理时间的能力和独立完成任务的能力,因此B项(家庭作业可以在多方面使学生受益。)符合文意。故选B。根据后文And those positive remarks can help develop students confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.可知,那些积极的评价有助于培养学生的自信心,并鼓励他

72、们继续他们良好的表现。那些积极的评价就是指老师给学生的评价,对应C选项(老师对学生做的作业给出评价。)。下文中remarks对应到C选项中的comments,指老师对学生做的作业给出的评价,上下文连贯通顺,故选C。根据本段第一句可知,此段讲的是家庭作业使学生从错误中吸取教训并克服缺点。根据前文It provides them with a platform to express what they know or have newly found, and exhibit their talents.可知,家庭作业给他们提供了一个表达他们知道或新发现的东西、展示他们的才华的平台。D项中的It

73、also gives与上文中的It provides相呼应,且D项(它也让学生练习他们在学校学到的东西。)与上一句共同构成下文These所指的内容。因此D项符合文意,故选D。根据上文The amount and difficulty level of homework assignments should match the ages and abilities of students.可知家庭作业的数量和困难度应该与学生的年龄和能力相匹配,故可推测下文是指如果不匹配,家庭作业就会成为惩罚。故选A。6.答案：1-5.CBABB; 6-10.DACDD; 11-15.DCACA解析：1.考查动词
