一、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AIt is often said that elderly people don’t understand youngsters, while many believe that children are too young to fully appreciate the wisdom (智慧) of their elders. But in truth, both groups have a lot to learn from each other.Sister Geraldine Tan runs the St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged and Hospice in Singapore. It’s mainly a facility (机构) for serving the elderly. But not all of its visitors are senior citizens (老年人).The home also includes a childcare center for about 50 kids between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old. At the center of the home’s courtyard (庭院), there’s a playground where the elderly can play with the kids. By doing so, they can learn more about each other and gain mutual (相互的) respect and understanding.I think this is quite an interesting idea. For one thing, we live in a world where aging societies are becoming more common. China itself is facing this problem as its population ages. It will be important for young people to be able to understand and care for the elderly in the coming decades (数十年).Sadly, my own grandparents weren’t around when I was little, as they had already passed away. I never got to learn what the world was like through their eyes, or what kinds of challenges they might have faced when they were my age. Their lives will always be a mystery to me.But I suppose I can still learn from other people of older generations. I might find some of their ideas old-fashioned, and they might believe that my generation’s way of thinking is strange or incorrect. But we can still learn from each other anyway.By Mike Fuksman, 21st Century Teens staff1. What is special about the Singaporean facility?A. It is actually a childcare center.B.

The fight was highly anticipated, as both women are known as top fighters among their peers.Zhang’s training was cut by the novel coronavirus outbreak. It forced her to travel from Beijing to Thailand and then to Abu Dhabi before arriving in Vegas about a week later than planned, according to China Daily. Worse still, Zhang was offended (激怒) by a post on social media in which Jedrzejczyk seemed to make fun of the outbreak. In a mock poster that Jedrzejczyk posted, she wears a gas mask (防毒面具) standing behind Zhang.Although the post was later deleted, Zhang said that she was fired up to make Jedrzejczyk pay for the tasteless joke in the octagon (八角格斗场).In the end, Zhang scored a narrow win over Jedrzejczyk, with both ending up in the hospital due to the intensity (激烈程度) of their fight.“All fighters deserve respect from one another in the octagon. I don’t like people hitting each other with trash talk,”said Zhang following her victory. “We go for the championship with our punches (拳头) but we shall never end up being remembered as only talking with violence (暴力).”“Now the virus situation is not just affecting China, but the whole world. I hope everybodyin the world can stand together to fight the virus with a united effort,”she said.4. The match was highly expected because _____.A.

A girl, about 10 years old, was sitting in the center. She was the only girl among the boys. Her female cousins and friends had to stay home because they were not allowed to get an education.The girl, Shameem Akhtar, was born in a small village in Pakistan. In her tribe (部族), it was a tradition to keep girls inside their homes.Fortunately, Shameem’s uncle, a university graduate, wanted to give her a chance to see the world. He offered Shameem an opportunity to attend school.However, Shameem struggled to complete her schooling. To get permission for college, she went on a three-day hunger strike (抗议).After graduating from college, Shameem gained a position in a non-profit organization (非营利性组织) aiming to help women in rural areas.There, she saw a Pakistan that she didn’t know. Until then, she thought she had a difficult life. But there, she saw what women in other parts of Pakistan were experiencing. Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. To get water, they would walk three hours every day to wells (水井).Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.Now, Shameem teaches in a rural school in her region.“The first day I walked into the school,”she said, “I saw all these little Shameems staring back at me with dreams in their eyes, the same dream of freedom which I had in my childhood.”Today, there is not a single girl in her village who doesn’t go to school.8.

Pakistani women are striking for freedomC. all girls in Pakistan can attend school nowadaysD. Shameem has set a good example for Pakistani girlsD12.Most of us might not have the chance to fight bravely in a war, as we imagine many heroes do. However, facing the spread of the novel coronavirus, many Chinese have shown their courage, resilience (韧性) and dedication, just like heroes do.“A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway,”said US actor Christopher Reeve, who was best known for playing Superman.13. But out of responsibility, compassion (同情) or just simply wanting to do their jobs, some choose to hold their fear down, stand out and fight the virus. They are known as“heroes in harm’s way”.14. Experts Zhong Nanshan, 84, and Li Lanjuan, 73, for example, have worked day and night to develop rapid test kits and treat severe (重症的) patients; doctor Zhang Wenhong from Shanghai tries to educate the public about the virus in a humorous way; Li Wenliang and some other medical workers even lost their lives while fighting the epidemic.15. Construction (建筑) workers race against time to build makeshift (临时的) hospitals; volunteers ensure the transportation of supplies; and thousands of media workers keep the public updated with news and inspiring stories.Chinese writer Lu Xun said, “True heroes dare to look squarely to the gloomy (惨淡的) life and are bold (勇敢的) in facing up to the dripping (淋漓的) blood.”The battle against an epidemic is hard, but as long as there are heroes and heroic deeds, victory will be guaranteed (保证).根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选二、语言知识运用（共20小题，满分25分）A阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
