I discovered they were the tops or covers of color markers I had kept on the table. The only difference was that someone got those covers and chewed them into shapelessness. On another part of the table, I saw the color markers dried up without covers. I was almost sure I knew who had done it and I could not understand the motivation behind his actions.As I considered my discovery, my frustration and disappointment gradually went away when I remembered that as a child, I did several weird things that must have bothered my mother. I cut our shoes, I chewed pens and pencils, and I wrote and drew pictures on walls and destroyed many items at home. The mind of a child is curious and explorative, seeking to understand and test the limits of many things. Of course, it can be costly, but what is growing up if no mistakes are made?We call it paying the school fees of life. If a child plays with a hot iron and it burns them, it is a given that they will not go near the iron again. Sometimes I watch the children in my neighborhood playing dangerous games. Occasionally, I have got myself involved and spoken up, but sometimes I let it pass. Until someone has fallen off their bike, they may not want to be told to stop riding with reckless abandon. Until a child has fallen down, they will not listen when asked to get down from the tree. However, wisdom shows that if the behavior is deadly, you should get involved in time.Creativity is a valuable quality. And this is why we should encourage children to remain innovative rather than be simple recipients of everything they have known and seen. Allow children to make mistakes, but this must be followed with supervision (监督), monitoring, and correction.24．What happened to the author’s color markers?A．They were stolen.B．They were destroyed.C．They were thrown away.D．They were cleaned by mistake.25．How did the author most probably react when she thought of her childhood?A．She was disappointed in herself.B．She got very regretful.C．She lost her mind.D．She calmed down.26．What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 3?A．Mistakes are unavoidable for children.B．Children can learn from their mistakes.C．Children often put themselves in danger.D．Some lessons of life are too painful to bear.27．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Children need to grow up through mistakes.B．How to help children grow up more quickly.C．How to deal with children’s mistakes.D．The significant impact of growing up.CSports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major US media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States，including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers, with such viewers, these programs don ’t need high ratings to stay on the air.28．What do we know about sport programs in the US?A．They are only broadcast during weekends.B．They struggle to attract female viewers.C．They bring more money to the television networks.D．They make weekends dead time for programming.29．In many families, men usually make decisions on ______.A．travel destinationsB．grocery shoppingC．family sports budgetD．expensive purchases30．Why aren ’t the ratings important for golf and tennis programs?A．These programs don ’t make money from advertisements.B．These programs are sponsored to attract rich people.C．These programs charge viewers high channel fees.D．These programs aim at increasing the popularity of the sports.31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Male viewers dominate the TV audience.B．Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C．Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D．Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.DGrowing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old. But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day. “I felt like I could conquer anything,” Featherstone, now 51, said in a Story Corps interview last month with Jordan Humphreys, a 13-year-old horseback rider. After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy. When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses. As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community,” said Humphreys. “It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope,” he added. If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.32．What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy?A．His love to his parents.B．The duty of saving the world.C．The serving years in the army.D．His childhood riding experience.33．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A．The life of being a cowboy.B．The dream of being a cowboy.C．The course of opening Urban Saddles.D．The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.34．Which can be one of the purposes of Fetherstone’s opening his own stables?A．To teach the black kids to ride horses.B．To help the kids to learn to respect all life.C．To make money by teaching the kids to ride.D．To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.35．Which of the following words may best describe Fetherstone?A．Smart but careless.B．Slow but productive.C．Diligent and broad-minded.D．Determined and kind-hearted.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Setting aside for a rainy dayIt’s a common regret in life that we spend more than we save---money that could go into a savings account or into a pension. Whatever age you are, it’ s never too late to start thinking about saving for your future. Here are several ways to get you going. 36 It’s hard to know what you can afford to save if you don’t have an accurate budget, so doing this is a key first step. Once you’ve made a record of everything you spend each month and everything you earn, you’ll be able to see how much money you have left.Get into a regular habit 37 Payday is great as you won’t be tempted (诱惑）to spend the cash. You can also set up a standing order to move money automatically into a savings account each month, so you won’t forget. 38 There are different places you can put your savings, from tax-free ISAs(Individual Saving Accounts) to high-interest current accounts. Wherever you choose, keep an eye on the interest rate. Many have high rates for the first year and drop down afterwards. 39 Set yourself a goalIf you know exactly what you’re saving for, it’s far more likely you’ll keep putting money away. 40 It’s also worth thinking about building an emergency fund for unexpected expenditures.A．The earlier the better.B．Earn as much interest as you canC．Find out what you can afford to saveD．If that happens, look to move your money elsewhere.E．Choose a fixed day each month to put money into savings.F．If you don’t have much left after bills and essentials, you can use your budget to find ways to cut back.G．It could be to make sure you’re comfortable in the future and have a relatively high standard of living第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分,满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.I 41 them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, 42 , working on a paper. Out of nowhere, those words came 43 off the page in a quote: “In the midst of death life persists; in the midst of 44 truth persists; in the midst of darkness light persists.” Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more. Then I called my granddad. I loved to talk with him. And I was 45 to hear what he’d think of it. He had poor hearing, so I had to repeat it a few times, but once he 46 it, he laughed. “All I can say to that is totally 47 ,” he said on the phone. I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and 48 to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. “Well, spring is a sure 49 that life persists. And it just makes me 50 .” He laughed again, and then in his lovely voice, he recited to me his 51 “spring time” words: “The desert shall rejoice (欣喜), and 52 as the rose.” Many years later, 53 my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming cactuses (仙人掌), I could almost hear my granddad laughing: “The desert shall rejoice.” Life persists, and so do we, in the silence of 54 and the blooming of cactuses; and in the dead of winter and the green of spring. Spring 55 us that we’re alive forever.41．A．looked forB．came acrossC．picked outD．made up42．A．boredB．worriedC．tiredD．confused43．A．runningB．dancingC．rushingD．moving44．A．fearB．doubtC．terrorD．untruth45．A．patientB．confidentC．upsetD．desperate46．A．gotB．madeC．undertookD．managed47．A．puzzlementB．excitementC．agreementD．amusement48．A．practicallyB．especiallyC．obviouslyD．naturally49．A．wayB．inspirationC．markD．sign50．A．nervousB．interestingC．merryD．alive51．A．impressiveB．superbC．classicalD．favorite52．A．existB．blossomC．surviveD．sow53．A．afterB．whenC．untilD．although54．A．journeysB．wordsC．worldD．desert55．A．convincesB．ensuresC．remindsD．strikes第二节：（共10个小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。A China Eastern Airlines jetliner carrying 132 people crashed in the mountains in southern China’s Guangxi region on Monday afternoon, according to the country’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC).The Boeing 737 56 (fly) from the southwestern city of Kunming to Guangzhou when it lost contact over the city of Wuzhou.

Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around: “Grandma is seriously ill”, the text read. “We need your help in assisting with her care.” Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up. “Tony!” she called to me from her bed, “It’s so good to see you!” “Grandma,” I sighed, “I’m not Tony. That’s dad, your son. I’m Hank.” This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house—cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits. Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone’s spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my. Childhood would somehow help get grandma’s memory of me back, if just for a moment. Stews (炖菜), chops (排骨), roasts— I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn’t taking grandma out for a walk in her wheel chair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn’t work at all. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

I am good at it. I used to work at a fancy restaurant. W: Thanks. Then we can buy some fresh ingredients in the nearby supermarket.3．AW: Are you satisfied with the restaurant?M: Well, I have to say it’s not my thing. The food was fine, but the restaurant was too crowded and the waiters kept shouting all the time. I thought they should be working in a quieter and friendlier way.4．BM: Jane, do you have a map of Manchester? I want to find a good place to eat.W: Why not try Chinatown? There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants there, and it's near here.5．CM: What should we take to the picnic on Sunday? W: Tom and Mary usually take plenty of drinks and fruit.

You spend even more time in the lab than with your friends.M: I’m sorry, Ruby. Maybe next time.W: Oh Calvin, you have said that at least a hundred times. You know all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.8．B 9．A 10．CM: Great job on your chemistry test, Anna! This is your second “B” in a row! W: “B-plus” actually. So there is small improvement, Dad. M: So what have you been doing? You used to be a “D” student before. W: I’ve joined a study group. Our members discuss all the difficult stuff, and we test each other all the time. M: Great idea. Maybe you will have more time on the weekends to go out with your friends. How did you find the study group? W: I saw a notice on the message board at lunch one day. I decided to check it out, and now we meet once a week after our last class of the day. M: So that’s why you’ve been coming home late. Good for you. So, you’re not nervous about your chemistry tests anymore? W: Not at all.

But I'm a bit lonely. Although I have been living in the city for almost 30 years, my family, my friends and classmates are all in the opposite side of the city. I don't really know anyone here except you and Tom in the office.W: Yes, it's tough moving to a new place where you don't know many people, but you don't have to be lonely. There are lots of amazing people who live in this area. You should come and have dinner with us. I can introduce you to my neighbors who will absolutely love you!M: Do you think so? I'd love to meet some people who are fun to be with.W: Well, why don't you come over to my house next Saturday? I'll invite a group of friends who I think you'll find both interesting and great fun.

M: Well, playing the piano is great, but the traveling is no fun. I have just been to my manager and he has offered me a job, playing on the coast for the summer. W: At sea-sight town? M: Yes, but I don’t think I am going to take it. W: Why not? Not enough money? M: No, it’s not bad. The money is good. About two hundred dollars a week. It’s just we will be working in the hotel playing for the tourists, and they just want the same old music over and over to dance to. And I get bored. It’s not like playing music. It’s like being a machine. W: I wouldn’t mind being a machine for that money.18．B 19．C 20．ADeep Springs is an American college. It is an unusual college. It is high in the white mountains in California not in a college town. The campus is a collection of old buildings with no beautiful classrooms. The only collegelike thing about Deep Springs is its library. Students can borrow from the 17,000 books 24 hours a day. The library is never crowded as there are only 24 excellent boy students at the college. And there are only 5 professors. These teachers believe in the idea of the college. They are not well paid. In fact, their salaries are only about 9,000 dollars a year. The college gives the teachers and students something more important than money. There is no place like Deep Springs. Students are there to learn and they cannot run away from problems because there is no place to escape to. At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a film. They can go out to restaurants or to parties, but the students in Deep Springs have completely different activities. They can talk to each other or to their teachers. They might go out for a walk in the desert. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants and cinemas. There is not even a television set on the campus.21．B 22．C 23．D21．细节理解题。根据“Story Guidelines”中的第一句“Tell a heartwarming story about something that has happened to you or someone you know.

(如果一个孩子玩热熨斗，烫着了他，那他肯定不会再靠近熨斗了。有时我看到邻居家的孩子们在玩危险的游戏。偶尔，我也会让自己参与进来，大声说出来，但有时我也会让它过去。除非有人从自行车上摔了下来，否则他们可能不想被告知停止鲁莽地骑车。直到孩子掉下来，他们才会听别人的要求从树上下来)”可知，作者通过第三段表明了孩子会从错误中学习。故选B。27．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“The mind of a child is curious and explorative, seeking to understand and test the limits of many things. Of course, it can be costly, but what is growing up if no mistakes are made?(孩子的头脑是好奇和探索的，寻求理解和测试许多事物的极限。当然，这可能代价高昂，但如果不犯错误，成长会怎样？)”可知，文章主要谈论看了孩子需要通过在犯错中成长。故选A。28．C 29．D 30．B 31．C28．细节理解题。由第二段中的 “This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.”（这意味着电视网络能够以相对较高的价格出售广告时间，而这段时间通常是节目的死角。）可知，运动节目期间的广告投放价格更高，因此，其为电视台带来了更多收入。故选C。29．细节理解题。由第三段中的 “They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.（她们还意识到，大多数商务旅行者是男性，许多男性在购买电脑、汽车和人寿保险方面做家庭决策。）”可知，男性通常在家庭中做有关购买电脑、汽车、人身保险等决定,也就是与昂贵商品相关的决定。故选D。30．推理判断题。由最后一段中的 “It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers.（它由来自美国最高收入群体的人组成，包括许多律师和企业经理。）”和 “This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.（这也是为什么这些电视节目在收视率很低的情况下仍然继续播出。）”可知，高尔夫和网球节目的收视率没那么重要是因为其广告商本就定位特定人群——美国的高收入群体，而并非所有人，故收视率没那么重要。故选B。31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.（体育节目在电视公司的广告时段销售收入中占越来越大的比重。许多电视公司利用体育运动来吸引普通大众中特定部分的观众，然后把观众卖给广告商。）”可知，文中介绍了运动节目为广告投放带来的一些优势：可针对特定观众群体投放广告、为电视台带来更多的周末广告收入等。故选C。32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.(费瑟斯通(Ghuan Featherstone)上世纪70年代在洛杉矶中南部社区长大，他只记得8岁时和父母一起在附近的公园骑马)”以及文章第二段“But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day.(但从那以后，他一直在追寻那天骑马时感受到的自由和力量)”以及“After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.(在军队服役8年后，费瑟斯通决心实现他儿时的梦想——成为一名牛仔)”可知，童年的骑马经历让费瑟斯通想成为一名牛仔。故选D。33．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for the youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses. (回到洛杉矶后，他在康普顿被称为“山”的马厩里学会了骑马。那里的骑手会跳上马背，骑着马进入城市的街道。2012年，一场大火烧毁了“山”。曾经是年轻人庇护所的地方突然消失了。费瑟斯通感觉到了火灾后的空虚，在2019年开设了自己的马厩“城市马鞍”，创造了一个空间，在这里他可以教像汉弗莱斯这样的孩子照顾和骑马)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Urban Saddles开设的过程。故选C。34．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.(如果费瑟斯通想要传达给孩子们的一课，那就是尊重所有的生命。“我们尊重动物，也尊重彼此，”他说)”可推知，费瑟斯通开马厩的真正目的是帮助孩子们学会尊重所有生命。故选B。35．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.(在军队服役8年后，费瑟斯通决心实现他儿时的梦想——成为一名牛仔)”可推知，他是一个有决心的人；根据文章最后一段If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.(如果费瑟斯通想要传达给孩子们的一课，那就是尊重所有的生命。“我们尊重动物，也尊重彼此，”他说)”可推知，他是一个心胸宽广的人。故选D。36．C 37．E 38．B 39．D 40．G36．由下文中的Once you’ve made a record of everything you spend each month and everything you earn, you’ll be able to see how much money you have left.可知，本段建议读者“搞清楚自己每月可以存多少钱”。故选C。37．由本段标题Get into a regular habit及下一句中的Payday is great可知，这里是说“每月选择固定的时间存钱”。故选E。38．由下文中出现的interest rate及关注其高低变化可知， “尽可能多地赚取利息”符合本段大意。故选B。39．D项中的“If that happens”承接上一句中的“第一年利息高，第二年利息下调”。故选D。40．设空处与下一句“It’s also worth thinking about…”都是存钱的“目标”。故选G。41．B 42．A 43．B 44．D 45．D 46．A 47．C 48．B 49．D 50．C 51．D 52．B 53．B 54．D 55．C41．考查动词短语辨析。句意：几年前我还在读大学，一次在图书馆写论文写到烦闷的时候，偶然看到了这句话。A. looked for寻找；B. came across偶遇；C. picked out挑出；D. made up构成。结合语意，当时作者正在写论文，所以应该是偶然看到“Life persists”（生命永存）这句话的。故选B项。42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：几年前我还在读大学，一次在图书馆写论文写到烦闷的时候，偶然看到了这句话。A. bored烦闷的；B. worried担忧的；C. tired疲惫的；D. confused困惑的。根据下文的“Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more”可知，作者当时在图书馆里的心情是很烦闷的。故选A项。43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这两个词突然从书页上的引语中跃入眼帘。A. running跑步；B. dancing跳舞，跳跃；C. rushing冲进；D. moving移动。结合语意，dancing形象生动地描述了这句话所富含的美好、活力以及作者看到这句话的偶然性。故选B项。44．考查名词词义辨析。句意：死亡之间生命永存；谎言之间真相永存；黑暗之间光明永存。A. fear害怕；B. doubt疑惑；C. terror恐慌；D. untruth谎言。此处运用了平行结构，且由death与life相对、darkness与light相对可知，设空处应用untruth与truth相对。故选D项。45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我很想听听他的想法。A. patient耐心的；B. confident有信心的；C. upset沮丧的；D. desperate急切的。由上文“Then I called my granddad.

But I am delighted that you have enjoyed yourself here and grown attached to Chinese culture.As a small token of appreciation, I picked a Chinese painting for you, on which is a pair of chopsticks. Spanning thousands of years, chopsticks are a kind of tableware with distinct national features, being an important component that fully reflects the intelligence of Chinese people. They always come in a pair and look identical. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, good things come in pairs. Chopsticks embody the beauty of symmetry and harmony of relationships. Hope you will like the little gift. Wish you a pleasant journey home. Keep in touch.Yours,Li Hua67．Then I decided to make something simple. What came to my mind was a sandwich. When I was a child, my grandma always made me a sandwich for breakfast. It was the most delicious sandwich in the world. Since then, I have dreamt about being a chef. The sandwich made by my grandma has two layers, the first layer with ham, and the second layer with vegetable salad. So I made a sandwich the way my grandmother did. Then I gave it to my grandma, hoping it could help her remember me.After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name-my actual name. I was so excited that I hugged her, saying “Finally, you remember me!” “My dear, you come back. I miss you so much.” My grandma said happily with tears rolling down her face. In the following days, I accompanied my grandma and took care of her. Soon she recovered. It is not only the sandwich but also grandma’s love for me that helps her recover.
