Once upon a time, there lived a wise man． Everyone respected him． Hisson, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day．The wise man was worried about his son's future． One day, he said to his son, "I want you to go and find some treasure． I have drawn a map to guide you．" Then he handed his son a bag． Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map．The son set out on his long journey the next day． He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains．Along the way, he met a lot of people．He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter．He also came across robbers who tried to rob him． He saw changing landscapes （风景） and experienced different kinds of weather．Finally, after a long year, he reached the treasure's location．He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing．Disappointed, he headed back to his home． On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons． Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature．He also learned to hunt and make meals． He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself． He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect himself from wild animals． He met the same people who had helped him earlier． This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them．When he reached home, he apologized to his father for not finding the treasure．"There wasn't any treasure in the very first place, my son, " the father answered with a smile． "But I think you have found your life's true purpose．"（1）What did the wise man ask his son to do？________A Draw a map that would guide him to treasure．B Travel to a faraway place to look for treasure．C Make a living by selling clothes and food．D See the world's forests and mountains．．（2）It can be inferred（推断） that the son________ during his journey．A suffered from hunger， cold and other dangersB chose a guide that would easily take him to the treasureC had to rob others for food and clothesD did not enjoy the natural scenery that he saw．（3）What was different about the son's journey back home？________A The landscapes were changing．B He found treasure and became rich．C He mastered many life skills．D He learned how to be a wise man．．（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？________A The son took clothes， some food， a little money and the map with him．B It took the son a long year to reach the treasure's location．C The son experienced changing landscapes and four seasons twice before he reached home．D The son didn't find the treasure because he lost his way．．（5）What was the father's purpose of setting this task for his son？________A To make his son do some interesting activities．B To see whether his son could deal with difficulties．C To test his son's ability to live in the wild．D To help his son find his life's true purpose．24. People all over the world are now taking action to fight against COVID﹣19． But what they do may depend on their own culture and traditions．On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker （议员） went into the country's Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized （批评）by his workmates for "causing panic （恐慌）"． Articles from Western media carry headlines such as "No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavirus．" You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak． Western thoughts about masksIn the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick． Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don't need to wear them． Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be "stared at like a virus spreader" if they go out with a mask．According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel "worried", "shy", and "afraid of being looked at differently．"But as the number of COVID﹣19 cases continues to grow around the world, many people in the West are changing their attitudes （态度）． In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now．The US surgeon general （卫生局局长） has been asking people to avoid hoarding （囤积） masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than by the general public．Mask culture in the EastIn Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask﹣wearing． In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague （肺鼠疫） in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China's position as a modern, scientific nation．The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti﹣viral （抗病毒的） protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia．In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure （使安心） others when one catches a cold or flu． Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories （配饰）, with different colors and styles to match their clothes． Wearing masks is also away to "hide" for young women when they don't have their makeup （化妆） on．In more collectivist （集体主义的） cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity （团结） during the outbreak, according to Christos Lynteris． "Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate （命运） shared, common obligation （责任） and civic （公民的） duty．" People wear masks "to show that they want to stick together" in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote．（1）Why don't healthy people in the West wear masks？________A They don't think masks can prevent disease．B They think masks are for sick people to wear．C Only medical workers need to wear masks．D Wearing a mask looks funny．．（2）Masks have been widely used in China since________．A the invention of the modern medical maskB the pneumonic plague in1910 C Christos Lynteris wore one publicly D the outbreak of SARS in 2003．（3）What isn't the reason for Japanese wearing masks？________A They wear masks to reassure others when catching a cold or flu．B Some Japanese wear masks as fashion accessories．C Some young women wear masks when theydon't make up． D They wear masks to make others feel worried．．（4）What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph？________A People have no sense of duty if they don't wear masks．B Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation．C Asian people are more united in the face of danger．D We are a community with a shared future for mankind．．（5）The purpose of the story is to________．A explain why Westerners don't wear masksB prove the importance of wearing masks during an epidemic（流行病）C show how opinions about masks differ betweendifferent countries D explain the history of masks．第二部分非选择题（65分）五、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A. 根据汉语提示完成句子（每空一词）．25.

To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus， governments at every level in China have been using many different control measures．In heavily﹣affected areas， the government has chosen to lock down cities． In Hubei province， for example， after Wuhan's lockdown on Jan 23， thirteen other cities in the province also taken lockdown measures． The decision proved effective （有效的） in stopping the virus' spread at its root， China Daily said．In some villages， people put up red banners （条幅） or used loudspeakers to educate people about the virus． Many communities also set up checkpoints to check people's temperatures， keep records of their travel history， keep non﹣residents （非住户） outof the community， and make sure that people quarantine （隔离） themselves after returning from high﹣risk areas． Some community workers also help those who stay at home by bringing in food or medicine， taking out the rubbish， and offering psychological （心理的） advice． The community workers have built the first line of defense （防御）against the virus across China．According to Xinhua， there are millions of community workers in 650，000 urban andrural （城市和农村）communities across the country． Many people from all walks of lifehave volunteered to do this job．"In the face of an unexpected outbreak， it's amazing to see that China could organize people on such a large scale （规模），" Li Baoping from the Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences told Xinhua． "Great governance capacity （治理能力） at all levels gives us confidence in winning the battle．"（1）Why do governments at every level use many different control measures？________（2）What has the government chosen to do in heavily﹣affected areas？________（3）Who has built the first line of defense against the virus across China？________（4）How many community workers are there across the country？________（5）What gives us confidence in winning the battle？________七、任务型阅读请根据短文内容，完成信息记录表，每空一词．（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）41. Flying is a fast way to travel． But it is a big headache for some people． They can't help worrying about things like "Is it dangerous if we don't change our mobile phones to airplane mode （飞行模式）？" Here are some interesting facts about flying．Why are plane windows round？It's for safety． As the airplane flies higher and higher， the atmospheric pressure （气压）outside gets lower and lower． During the flight， the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside． When this happens， square windows can break．That's because having different pressures inside and outside puts stress on the corners of square windows． But rounded corners can spread the pressure more evenly （均匀地） across the window's surface， making it less likely to break．What happens when a phone isn't in airplane mode？Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets（平板电脑） need to be turned off because they can bring the plane down．However， this is not true．If you don't change your phone to airplane mode， pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones． This makes it harder for them to communicate． So it's still best to put your devices （设备） in airplane mode．八、缺词填空请根据短文内容，填写所缺单词，每空一词，请在答题纸上写出完整单词．（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）42.

To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16 centuries, the golden age of European explorers．Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration．As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13 century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492．However, it is during this "golden"period that some famous voyages took place．Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America． Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mesico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru． The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why he Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today．根据短⽂内容，选择最佳选项．（1）When is the golden age of European explorers？________A The 15t? centuryB The 16t? century．C The 13t? century．D The 15t? and 16t? centuries．．（2）Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period？________ A Columbus sailed to America． B Marco Polo travelled to China． C Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world． D Cortez and Pizarro reached South America．．（3）Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico？________A Pizarro．B Cortez．C Incas．D Columbus．．（4）According to the passage，some countries in America didn't use to belong to________．A Portugal B Spain C Canada D France．（5）From the passage，we can know that________．A Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countriesB The period of the 15h and 16h centuries was the beginning of the Europeanexploration C European explorers occupied some American countries in a peacefulway D Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at all．19. My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when Iwas six years old．Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior． Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened． When I told him that my baseball broke Mrs． Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to tell her the truth． After all, I played basement in a wrong place． As I explained to Mrs．Holt, my voice shook． Of course, I had to pay for the broken window from my pocket money．I also learned from Steve that personal property （财产） is a sacred（神圣的）thing． After I found a shiny pen in my fifth﹣grade classroom, I wanted to keep it． Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value． He also reminded me of how sad I was when I lost the small wooden dog my father made． At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs． Davids． I still remembered the smell of her perfume （⾹⽔） when she gave me a hug．Of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most ________ in my mind． When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun．With excitement, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look． I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground． Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, "Did it hurt you first, Mark? " I didn't know what to answer． He continued with his eyesfirm, "Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not．" I really felt terrible then, but that moment I will never forget．（1）How many lessons Steve gave to Mark are mentioned in the passage？________A One．B Two．C Three．D Four．．（2）What does the underlined word mean in Chinese？________A 开⼼的．B 清晰的．C 有趣的．D 可怕的．．（3）According to the writer，which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother？________A Respect for living things．B Responsibility for one's behavior．C The value of honesty．D Care for the property of others．．（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage？________A Mark was a boy when he wrote this passage．B When a living thing hurts you， you should kill it．C Mark lost the small dog his father bought somewhere．D Even ifa living thing hurts you， you should not kill it at once．．（5）What's the best title of the passage？________A My Guide in Childhood．B My Lovely Brother．C My EarlyMemory． D My Sweet Childhood．四、阅读表达（共1⼩题，每⼩题10分，满分10分）20. Perhaps you have seen some strange English before， like "big meter" for dami and "small buy" for xiaomaibu in Chinese． These are examples of incorrect translations （翻译）in China that can be seen everywhere from restaurant menus to information signs．While many people find this Chinglish to be funny， it is also said to "damage the country's image" and confuse （使困惑）English speakers． On Dec． 1， China carried out its first national standards （规范）for the use of English in public service areas， People's Daily reported．The standards include more than 3，500 Chinese﹣to﹣English translations in 13 areas，including transportation， sports and education． This means that many Chinese words will now have standard English names．For example， the English words for the Chinese dishes huntun and lamian are "wonton"and "lamian noodles"． For kaochuan and mixian， the English names are "barbecue" and "rice noodles"．As for places， shaoniangong is called "children's palace"．The entertainment activity nongjiale that we enjoy in rural areas is called "agritainment"．There are also many English warning （警⽰） phrases，like "wet floor" for xiaoxindihua and "mind your head" for dangxinpengtou．The standards are part of efforts China has made in past years to fix incorrect English．Many cities have already fixed a lot of signs that show the wrong English translations．In 2015，Shanghai opened a 12345 hotline to encourage people to report incorrect translations．回答下⾯5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词．（1）When did China carried out its first national standards for the use of English in public service areas ？________（2）How many Chinese﹣to﹣English translations are included in the standards？________（3）What is the English word for the Chinese xiaoxindihua？________（4）Why did China carried out the standards？________（5）How did Shanghai encourage people to report incorrect translations？________五、任务型阅读阅读下⾯⼀段短⽂，并根据所读内容在⽂章后表格中的空格⾥填⼊⼀个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填⼀个单词．（10分）21. Blood donation is a very important activity． It is an easy and direct way to contribute to social work and help the community．It helps to save lives and helps those who are in need of blood because of the heavy loss of blood during operations or in accidents． You can always be proud of it after making valuable contributions to society． Blood donation is not a big problem， but you need to keep a few points in mind．Before donating blood， make sure that the ferrum （铁） level in your body is high enough and for that you should take a healthy diet． Do not go for blood donation on an empty stomach．After having a balanced diet， you will feel strong and comfortable to donate blood．For required hemoglobin （⾎红蛋⽩） in your body，drink lots of juice and other drinks．Fruit juice， such as apple juice is very good for increasing the blood level in your body．For a good blood flow in your body，drink at least 6﹣7 glasses of water every day．Don't take alcohol（酒）a day before and after giving blood． Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood．When you are going for blood donation， be relaxed，which helps keep the right blood pressure．During the blood donation activity， take a deep breath and try to calm yourself． Don't join in some other activities．You need to take care of yourself after donating blood．Take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation．It helps you to feel relaxed． Make sure that you have meals after donating blood．Smoking should be avoided for one hour after the process．Don't join in some activities right away， for example， driving．六、词汇运⽤（共5⼩题，每⼩题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意和汉语提⽰，在空⽩处填⼊⼀个适当的单词（每空限⼀词）．（5分）22.

That′s when the first image of a bl ack hole was shown to the public. The picture was created by a network of eight radio telescopes（射电望远镜）."We have seen what we thought was unseeable，"says Shep Doeleman. He led the effort tocreate the image.The black hole is at the center of galaxy （星系）named Messier 87，some 55 million light﹣years from the earth and is6. 5 billion times the mass of the sun.The image shows the gas，dust，and stars that move around the black hole before disappearing into it.

First Look at the Black HoleC. The Mystery of the UniverseD. Faraway GalaxyBAs we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.The biggest problem is people' s own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.36. The biggest problem of learning English is_____.A. not knowing how to learnB. being afraid of being laughed atC. looking foolishD. making mistakes37. The fastest way to learn English well is______.A. practicing over and over againB. listening to it every dayC. going over the fearD. going to a foreign country38. To create a good environment, you need to do many things except_____.A. putting English books around your roomB. listening to English radiosC. watching English news and moviesD. speaking English with your friends only in class39. According to the passage, English exercises and tests are_____.A. very necessaryB. not helpful at allC. very boringD. not important40. How many suggestions on how to learn English are mentioned according to the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. FiveCThe Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills(填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly（直接地）in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.41. The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in _______________.A. 1973B. 1970C. 1948D. 194042. To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except ____________.A. Wearing special clothesB. traveling to landfillsC. burying the garbage themselvesD. opening bags of garbage43. The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means ___________.A. crash intoB. deal withC. worry aboutD. put up44.From the article, we know old motor oil ____________.A. should go to regular landfillsB. isn't harmful garbageC. mustn't be poured on the groundD. never pollutes the environment45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.B. Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.C. The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.D. Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.四、阅读表达（共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分）Hangzhou won its bid(申办) for the 2022 Aian Games on September 16th, 2015. It will be the third time that the Games are held in a Chinese city after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010. The well-known capital city of Zhejing Province in the southeast part of the country has a population of 8.9 million. It is a beautiful city with a long history and it has been developing rapidly in recent years.

Thirty venues (场馆) have already been completed, while several others are still being built and will be put into use on year before the Games.

As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce ourmental chatter.When we hit the “flow state" of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down. It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation. You disconnect from the chaos around you.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise.In 2020, the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004. Yet even as people are buying more books,many are reporting they're having a harder time getting through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive.Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated.Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs, fighting with a book I am holding and screaming: “Can't you see I'm busy!” Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress,which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read"The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book, opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.4.

According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarcticaout to 60 degrees south latitude（纬度）."Encircled by the powerfully swift ACC, it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other. "Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so charming about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountainsmore awful and the landscapes morecaptivatingthan anywhere else you can go," Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that."We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean," Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. "So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica."8. Why is the Southern Ocean different from other oceans?A. It has never been explored before.B. It surrounds the Antarctic all around.C. It is enclosed by the fast-flowing ACC.D.
