Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and granunatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Different background shouldn’t mean less education. Fifty years ago, in a primary school classroom, two boys aged 11 took an examination called the 11-plus,(21)______would make decisions about the rest of their lives. Paul passed and went to a “grammar school”. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school”. They did not see each other again for years.Many grammar schools(22)______(establish) hundreds of years ago to teach the Lation language to children who were not from rich families. They encouraged students to study (23)______they were 18 and then to go to university. Secondary modern school students left at 16, usually with fewer qualifications than grammar school students. Baz says the secondary modem school had(24)______(few)resources and the quality of teaching was not as good.Things have changed. In the 1960s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools” were created. Today, 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the same area to the same schoolwithout(25)______(take) any entry examination.The British often disagrees about the best way(26)______(educate) their children. Many people say that comprehensive schools help more children to succeed because they provide everybody(27)______similar opportunities in a fairer way.

Now, the government plans to open new grammar schools(29)______ ______almost two million children will go to the same type of school that Paul attended.And Paul and Baz? Aged 60, they met again and compared (30)______had happened to them. After university, Paul qualified as a teacher. Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer. In fact, Baz had a much higher salary than Paul--so perhaps life is fair after all.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.There’s nothing more annoying than settling down to sleep and hearing the sound of a mosquito buzzing around you.The only thought most of us ever give to this noise is “I need to get rid of this insect, immediately”, but it turns out that the mosquito is actually quite a(n) 31 creature.A tern of scientists from Oxford University in he UK, in 32 with the Royal Veterinary College in London and Chiba University in Japan, recently published a study that found some interesting facts about the world’s most 33 insect.By placing eight cameras inside a tiny film studio, the scientists could study several mosquitoes up close. The high-tech cameras filmed the insects at 1,000 frames per second, meaning the scientists were able to study the insects’34 in never-before-seen detail. However, it wasn’t always straightforward.“Recording mosquitoes during free-flight represented a huge technical challenge due to their small size, 35 wing beat frequency, and the presence of large antennae and legs that can 36 the view of their wings,” Simon Walker of Oxford University, co-author of the study, wrote.Published in the journal Nature, the study found that mosquitoes flap their wings around 800 times a second. As a 37 , house flies flap their wings about 200 times a second, and hummingbirds 50 times a second.Richard Bomphrey of the Royal Veterinary College, the study’s leader, believes that mosquitoes have a unique flying method that sets them apart from other flying insects.“We predicted that they must make use of clever tricks, as the wings 38 their direction at the end of each half-stroke.” he wrote in the study.Hopefully, the discovery of the mosquito’s special abilities will be of benefit to engineers in the future. The findings could lead to better aircraft, or even improvement to tools like lenses or pumps.But the scientists hope their study can one day be 39 to new developments in more human-focused use.“The more we know about mosquitoes, the better our chance of understanding their flight behavior, how they carry disease and 40 how to stop them from doing so,” Walker wrote. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or; phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Artists have long claimed alcohol and other drugs as inspiration for their creativity. But is there really a(n) 41 between intoxication（醉酒）and inspiration? A recent study published in Consciousness and Cognition explored the effects of moderate drunkenness on people’s creativity. The authors suggest that alcohol’s well-known effect in 42 executive function may be helpful for these types of creation problems.” Sometimes a reduced ability to 43 one’s attention can have positive implications for select cognitive tasks.” they write.The findings raise the question of whether drugs that 44 attention and focus, in particular, stimulants（兴奋剂）, would have the opposite effect on creative thinking 45 , very little research has been done on the issue, and what results exist so far have been mixed. The outcomes may well vary according to individual 46 to the drugs. 47 , some research has found that while stimulants can 48 test performance for those who are less intelligent, for the smartest folks, the drugs can have the opposite effect.If less executive function is linked to more creativity, this may also explain why artists, writers and musicians appear to be more 49 to have an addiction. Perhaps creative people are more likely than others to be 50 to drugs in the first place, as a possible source of inspiration. And then, if reduced executive function is 51 in part for their initial talent, this, too, could make them more easily influenced by 52 once they start using. Having less executive control before you even take drugs means you’ll have less ability to stop once you start.Whatever the real relationship between drunkenness, addiction and art, the authors 53 that their study findings don’t give people 54 to get drunk to “inspire the muse（冥想）”Co-author Jennifer Wiley, associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told the British Psychological Society’s Research Digest.” We tested what happens when people are slightly drunk-not when people drank to 55 . There could be no argument from these findings that drinking excessively would have the same effects.”A glass of wine or two, however, may occasionally help.41. A.attractionB.reservationC.connectionD.decoration42. A.strengtheningB.damagingC.maintainingD.assessing43. A.blockB.reduceC.disturbD.control44. A.remainB.dropC.shiftD.increase45. A.HoweverC.InsteadD.Therefore46. A.additionsB.responsesC.oppositionsD.contrasts47. A.For exampleB.On the contraryC.As a resultD.On the other hand48. A.concealB.executiveC.improveD.delete49. A.vitalB.likelyC.idealD.difficult50. A.attractedB.contributedC.respondedD.with drawn51. A.responsibleB.illegalC.naturalD.impossible52. A.confusionB.ambitionC.addiction53. A.lowerB.monitorC.functionD.caution54. A.sacrificeB.privacyC.appreciationD.license55. A.prioritiesB.extremesC.bottomD.AffectionSection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”Then she gave the shop owner the food stamps(食品券).My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.My heart pounded as I approached the woman.“Excuse me,”I said, my voice trembling a bit,“I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”I handed her the small card from my purse.When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it be OK to give you a hug?”After that, I walked back to my car and began to cry too.The words on the card?“You Matter.”A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?A.The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.B.The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.C.The woman and her family were having a tough limeD.The author wondered why the cashier was familiar with the woman.57. The woman cried when she got the card, probably because______.A.it greatly encouraged herB.she could use it to buy foodC.it could solve her present problemD.it could land her husband a job58. The underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 10 probably means______.A.interestedB.gratefulC.ashamedD.astonished59. From the article, we can tell that the author is a______person.A.smartB.kind-heartedC.knowledgeableD.confident(B)Seek out a Unique BeachVISITOregon. For sun and fun away from the crowed beaches of Florida, check out the Oregon coast and its 363 miles of gorgeous shoreline, stretching from the Columbia River south to the redwood forests of California. Every beach is public and free. “The coast is a perfect place to watch sea lions sun themselves or simply see the mighty Pacific weaves crash in the sunset followed by a seafood feast in one of the busy fishing communities located between the coves（小海湾）,” says Bramblett. July and August aren’t peak gray whale migration season, but there’s still a good chance you could catch a glimpse of some of the 200 whales that spend the summers off the Oregon coast.SLEEPNext to a lighthouse. Imagine yourself an ancient mariner when you book a room overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast in Yachats, Oregon. The working lighthouse, which dated to 1894, cast a bright beam 21 miles out to sea, making it the brightest light on the Oregon coast. The cliff-top rooms at the Light Keeper’s home nearby aren’t cheap-you’ll sell out up to $385 for a weekend night during peak season (price includes a seven-course breakfast).BEWAREDangerous currents Unless you love cold water (or wear a wet suit), you may not wait to venture into the sea off the Oregon coast, even during the summer. But if you do, be prepared for the U.S. Lifesaving Association. Swim parallel to the beach until you’re no longer being pulled out to sea, then swim diagonally（成对角线地）toward the shore.BRINGBaby powder. Use a generous amount of baby powder to remove sand from your hands, feetor hair. The powder quickly absorbs moisture, allowing sand to fall off easily.60. It can be inferred from the section SLEEP that______.A.the price of one night shay remains the same all the year aroundB.those who stay there can have a free access to the beach and the lighthouseC.those who want to stay there have to pay more during a tourist seasonD.the price includes the breakfast for seven people61. What is suggested by the leaflet if you want to enjoy your stay at the beach?A.Avoid wearing wet suitsB.Never dive into the cold water off the coastC.Bring baby powder to protect your skin from sand scratchesD.Don’t swim straight toward the shore when there’re dangerous currents62. Oregon coast will provide you with all the following experiences EXCEPT______.A.a perfect view of sea lionsB.a mariner like stay in the more than 100-year-old lighthouseC.a seafood feast in the popular local communityD.sun and fun of the less crowed beach(C)With the coming of big data age, data science is supposed to be starved for, of which the adaption can point a profound change in corporate competitiveness. Companies, both born in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science. Therefore, it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type.Mr Carlos Guestrin, machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need in built intelligence within five years, making data scientists-people trained to analyze large bodies of information-key workers in this emerging “cognitive” technology economy. There are already critical applications that depend on machine learning, a subfield of data science, led by recommendation programs, fraud detection systems, forecasting tools and applications for predicting customer behavior.Many companies that are born digital-particularly internet companies that have a great number of real-time customer interactions to handle-are all-in when it comes to data science. Pinterest, for instance, maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be appliedto different classes of problems, and it constantly fields requests from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem.The factors weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of mounting a serious machine-learning operation. Netflix is estimated to spend $ 150m a year on a single application and the total bill is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account.Another problem for many non-technology companies is talent. Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle, only about 1,000 have deep learning skills, compared to 100,000 who can apply other machine learning techniques, says Mr Goldbloom. He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expand their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field.The biggest barrier to adapting to the coming era of “smart” applications, however, is likely to be cultural. Some companies, such as General Electric, have been building their ownSilicon Valley presence to attract and develop the digital skills they will need.Despite the obstacles, some may master this difficult transition. But companies that were built, from the beginning, with data science at their center, are likely to represent serious competition.63. Which one is obstacle for many traditional companies to popularize learning operation?A.Technological problemB.Expert crisisC.High costD.Customer interactions64. What can not be interred from the passage about the machine learning?A.Machine learning operations are costly in Netflix.B.Machine learning plays an important role in existent applications.C.Machine learning experts are not highly paid in some non-technology companies.D.Machine learning models are not sufficient to solve business problems in Pinterest.65. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A.Data science: A forefront force in tech businessB.Corporate competition: An obstacle to the transitionC.Machine learning: A key to smart technologyD.Technique experts: A decisive factor of the coming era.Section CDirections: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.There are a lot of different people in the world, but despite our differences we all want to get along. Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely. 67 It is about treating people with respect and care.Be a good listener. To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. Don’t indulge（放纵）yourself in instant chant when you have just arrived. Examine the situation and the conversation, and then say whatever you think fit. It is better to say something valuable, rather than something meaningless. 68 Don’t try to change people. It is not your job to change anyone else. It is not in your power to change anyone else.Let other people live how they want to live. 69 If you do not like how someone acts, you can arrange things so that you interact with them as little as possible. You can always maintain a good attitude towards them so that your relationship with them might be change.Keep a smile. A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile cases tensions, wheres a frown can create tensions. If someone teases you, try to laugh at it off. If someone is frowning, smile at them. Be mindful of your facial expression. If you are persistently and optimistic, people will cheer up when they are see you coming.70 Some people do not take hints. Some people d not read body language. For these people, it really works to just say,” I really want us to work well together. I will help you and backyou up, and you help me and beck me up.”IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Sunmarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.A Father’s Influence Makes for Better GradesAdolescents from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers to underachieve and to drop out of school. Studies have shown that a positive attitude towards school work and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how adolescents experience their fathers’warmth and the beliefs and behaviors that are most affected by it.This new study is part of a larger one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Data were analyzed from questionnaires completed by 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork, and how they experienced their fathers. The questionnaires were completed primarily by respondents of Mexican American, African American and European American descent. Their maths and language arts grades were also obtained.Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism, self-efficacy, and, ultimately, higher achievement at school.These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, while in different ways. Experiencing their father’s warmth first influences daughters’sense of optimism, and then spills over into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better math grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers’involvement and teenage boys’belief in their ability to succeed on the academic front. This heightened self-confidence increased their success in English language arts classes.Suizzo suggests that counselors and educators should encourage fathers to communicate warmth and acceptance to their children, because of the positive influence these emotions have on their well-being.V.

Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao both died on May 22. Yuan was 91 and Wu was 99. During their long lives, they made scientific discoveries which improved and saved the lives of millions of people at home and abroad, and inspired generations of young people to become scientists to help their fellow man.Yuan Longping was known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice.”His work in creating this new type of rice, which increased crop yields (产量) 37 30 percent, is credited with eliminating starvation in China 3838 38 in many other developing countries. Wu Mengchao, considered the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery,”discovered new ways to surgically remove cancerous tumors (肿瘤) from diseased livers while 39 (reduce) the risk of blood loss. His innovative methods have become the standard widely40 (use) by liver cancer surgeons across the world.Apart from their scientific discoveries, 41 is equally admirable about these two men was their humility and their dedication to their work.42 I look at great people, I often wonder where their passion and desire came from. Yuan was inspired to devote himself to agricultural research during the 1950s when a famine 43 (strike) the country. Around the same time, China had a high incidence (发生率) of liver cancer, but clinical research in the country was still in its infancy.From these small beginnings, great things grew. The little acorns (橡果) became great oaks. It is something to keep in mind when you ponder your own future. You seem like little acorns now, but each of you has thepotential 44 (become) a great oak. It does, however, require a lot of effort and also a belief in yourself. When Yuan and Wu were working in their laboratories, they must have become frustrated from time to time. They probably had as many failures as they had successes, but they persevered 45 they were convinced their work was worthwhile.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. NoteHow to work from home?There are many things that contribute to becoming a successful work-from-home employee. As more companies across nearly every industry accommodate a(n) 46 number of employees wishing to avoid traffic jam and office cold lunch, remote work has become an increasingly easy and breathlessly practical 47 for many who seek it. Here is a modest guide to becoming a successful remote employee.Before 48 completely from the office, check with your corporate IT department and your manager to see if you are equipped with the programs and applications necessary to work remotely. Security first: If you connect to your company’s internal systems or email throu gh a Virtual Private Network or other secure tunnel, make sure you’ve tested it and that it 49 from where you plan to work. Also, have a backup plan in the event your connection experiences disturbance.The same advice applies to internet 50 . Make sure that if the wireless internet in your home office fails, you can still connect continuously through your smartphone, set up as a Wi-Fi hot spot. To do this, make sure you have the right wireless plan, especially if you handle large files.The ability to communicate quickly and 51 is the most priceless quality a remote employee needs to succeed. Do 52 your manager or boss frequently. Make sure group chat service and tools are installed and you know how to use them, and make your 53 known to your colleagues when you are available and working.Set 54 if you’re working at home by explaining to family members or children that your work area is off limits, and they should avoid 55 unless it’s important.Find time to go for short walks to help inspire productivity and creativity. One of the blessings of working remotely is the opportunity to live a more active lifestyle instead of being deskbound, but it’s important to make activity a habit.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For centuries, people have had a strong sense that it is absolutely beneficial to read fairy tales to children. However, the benefits might have been 56 . Some researchers are reassessing this long- established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 57 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 58 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 59 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 60 relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one 61 severe abuse because theybelieved they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was 62 by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not 63 abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would 64a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of65 .Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who 66 the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough, they can change their partners’ 67 ,” she said. “68 in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious 69in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door by herself? After all, being 70 is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail (获胜，成功) in the life time.”56.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dear Cutie-Pie,Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Half way through entering the question, Google returned a list of t he most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.And I got angry.Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss—that you are worthy of interest.If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: youwill attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart. I don’t care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.Because in the end, Little One, the o nly thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to be you.Your eternally interested guy,Daddy71. What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet?A. Girls’ knowing nothing about trusting themselves.B. Girls’ giving priority to fin ding ways to please boys.C. Girls’ bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time.D. Girls’ being upset by being rejected constantly.72. Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is to _____________________.A. keep the boy interestedB. know she deserves a boy’s interestC. attract a boy willing to invest all in herD. find a boy who can please her73 According to the passage, what does the underlined word “revel” mean?A. feel depressedB. become puzzledC. look aroundD. enjoy himself74. What’s the main purpose of this letter?A. To advise his daughter to trust her worth.B. To inform his daughter how to keep others interested.C. To show his daughter how to find her true love.D. To help his daughter find someone with common interests.(B)Families should reduce exposure to syntheticchemicals found in food colouring, preservatives andpackaging materials as a growing body of research shows they may harm children's health, according to a policystatement and technical report from the AmericanAcademy of Paediatrics released online.The statement also suggests improvements to the food additives regulatory system, including updating the scientific foundation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s s afety assessment programme and retesting all previously approved chemicals.Q&A with the lead authorWe asked Leonardo Trasande, Council on Environmental Health member and lead author of the policy statement, to tell us more about these concerns.Q: What are the growing number of studies showing us?A: Over the past two decades, an accumulating body of science suggests some food additives can interfere with a child's hormones, growth and development.Potentially harmful effects of food additives are of special concern for children because they are more sensitive to chemical exposures because they eat and drink more, relative to body weight, than adults do and are still growing and developing. An early injury to their organ systems can have lifelong and permanent consequences.Q: What additives does the statement highlight?A: The additives of most concern, based on rising research evidence cited in the report, include:Bisphenols, such as BPA, used to harden plastic containers and line metal cans, can act like estrogen (雌激素) in the body which may potentially change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat and affect the nervous and immune systems. BPA is now banned in baby bottles.Phthalates, which make plastic and vinyl tubes used in industrial food production flexible, may affect male genital development, increase childhood obesity and contribute to cardiovascular disease. In 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use or some phthalates in child-care products such as teething rings.75. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics' report, people should ______ to cope with the problemof food additives.A. try to avoid food additives in daily life and revise relevant rules on food additivesB. update the food safety assessment program and check the approved chemicals againC. improve the food additives regulatory system and retest all approved chemicalsD. reduce the usage of food additives and establish new food protection system76. Leonardo Trasande holds the view that food additives do more harm to children than adults because studyshows ______.A. children are more sensitive to what they eat and drink than adultsB. children usually eat and drink more unhealthy food than adultsC. children are just too young and weak to protect themselvesD. children's organs are easier to be damaged and hard to recover77. How many specific kinds of harmful effect caused by the additives are mentioned in the last two paragraphs?A. 2B. 7C. 8D. 3(C)Like other pandemics and emerging disease outbreaks, COVID-19 is creating immense psychosocial disturbances. The disease involves an unfamiliar threat that is difficult to detect and challenging to distinguish from more benign illnesses. Dynamic pandemic conditions will draw out the anxiety. Things will get worse before they get better. A vaccine absent, non-pharmaceutical (非药物的) interventions are the only way to prevent infections, and they dramatically upset everyday bodily habits, social interactions and economic exchanges.Recent grocery store runs are a sign of concern in the community. Personal actions to avoid infection such as stocking hand sanitizer also present a sense of control over an uncertain danger. Improvements to current risk communication can alleviate (减轻) widespread distress. Top elected officials and health authorities should empathize with (产生共鸣) people’s fear, normalize stress reactions, provide clear guidance on recommended health behavior’s, and instruct in concrete protections including those for mental health.However, more interventions are essential because specific groups are at a higher risk of both acute and lingering emotional distress. Health care workers on the epidemic front lines face compounding (复合的) stressors: the prospect of more and longer shifts, finite supplies of personal protective equipment, fear of bringinginfection home, witnessing co-workers becoming ill, and making tough allocation decisions about scarce, lifesaving resources like mechanical ventilators (通风设备).Exposed individuals confront a potential fall of challenging circumstances. To protect others, they may enter a state of self-quarantine. During the incubation period (潜伏期), they must live with uncertainty and limit physical contact with others while trying to maintain social connectedness. Less income-generating activities and unmet obligations to others can increase the stress. Infected individuals may become sick, experience a lengthy convalescence (康复期), feel survivor’s guilt, and be avoided despite a complete recovery.For people with pre-existing mental health conditions, a pandemic can further heighten their anxious thoughts and compulsive behaviours. Previously managed symptoms may occur again, requiring additional care beyond what was sufficient before the crisis.78. The underlined word “benign” is closest in meaning to ______.A. friendly to the environmentB. mild and favourableC. not harmful in effectD. not caused by cancer79. According to the passage, the pandemic can ______.A. put enormous stress on health care workers onlyB. create immense psychosocial disturbancesC. definitely alleviate the anxietyD. impose compulsive behaviours on healthy people80. What can we infer from the passage?A. Vaccine is the only effective way available to prevent infections.B. Personal actions like stocking can help keep the pandemic in control.C. The mental crisis caused by COVID-19 should be treated equally with the physical one.D. The health care workers are mainly confronted with temporary emotional stress.81. What is the best title for the passage?A. A New Kind of VirusB. Selfless Health Care WorkersC. On Experiencing Coronavirus InfectionD. COVID-19’s Psychosocial ImpactsSection C（8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceMost people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before. ____82____. They suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue in people after they got retired than while they were still employed. ____83____. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewerdepressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.____84____. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says. “We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”_____85_____With less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.V.

For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.The First Space CatIn a few weeks,space scientists will celebrate a remarkable event---the60th anniversary of the launch of the first cat into space,an astronautical success that has never been repeated.In the early60s,dogs and monkeys were the animals usually used by scientists to find out exactly(21) dangerous the conditions were in outer space.And they were also used to assess if humans(22)survive trips beyond the edge of Earth's atmosphere.A total of14street cats(23)(gather)at France's space agency for selection as cat astronauts,but the cats were not given names on purpose in order to prevent scientists from becoming too fond of them.The cat selected to travel to space was simply known(24)C341.C341flew on a French rocket in October1963,taking it to a place(25)no cat had gone before.Then,(26)the news of its flight was announced on18October1963,the French press decided this cat had to have its name.They picked“Felix”after a cartoon cat character,only(27)(discover)that C341was female,so her name was then adjusted to“Felicette”as a result.In putting Felicette in one of its rockets,France added a new species to the list of animals that scientists(28)(send)into space before.Previously,two garden spiders, Anita and Arebella,had been taken to the Skylab(29)(orbit)around the moon.“In the60s,(30)(concern)about the possible danger for a human to be in outer space,scientists and engineers primarily undertook animal space flights to see if they suffered or their lives were threatened by the weightlessness or increased radiation or other effects they might experience up there,”said astronomer Jake Foster at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.“The fact that they did not fail paved the way for humans to begin journeys into space.”Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the

of PowerDragon boat racing began in China more than2,000years ago as part of a cultural community event to memorize the ancient poet,Qu Yuan.The traditional holiday was a time to perform31for good fortune and well-being,and to drive off evil spirits.Over time,dragon boat racing32into a global sport.The Toronto-based Dragons Abreast team stands out at this sport for a few reasons.For one,the79-member team includes people ranging in age from30to93.Prior to joining Dragons Abreast,some members hadn't been part of a sports team since childhood and wouldn't have described themselves as particularly athletic ones.And what has brought these women together is something33---living with breast cancer.The breast cancer survivors on this team are in the same boat in every way.For many,being part of a community that knows34how life changes after breast cancer is as beneficial as the physical gains.The team offers a supportive space to35all the complexities of survivorship.“I was so surprised at how36the racing was for me,”says Liz Johnston Hill,the race coordinator for Dragons Abreast.“It's almost overwhelming how people encourage,no matter what.”Being out on the water and connecting to the environment is an important aspect of dragon boating for many of the team members.They talk about how it provides37of peace and encourages mindfulness,something we could all use more of in our lives.Outside of dragon boat,the members are a(n)38part of each other's life.“We've all been through39the same thing in our various ways,”says the race coordinator Liz Johnston Hill.While the number of breast cancer survivor teams grows,barriers to the sport remain such as cost,time,40to water and practice facilities and the lack of cultural and language diversity.But there are ongoing efforts to introduce more people living with breast cancer to dragon boat.II.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Like anything built by evolution,the human body has many downsides,teeth without exception.Adult humans only get one set of teeth,which must last about60years.However,a(n)41of poverty,sugar-rich diets and poor hygiene means2.5bn people globally suffer from tooth decay,in which acid produced by mouth-living bacteria eats away the hard enamel(牙釉质)that42the outside of a tooth,leading to further infection and damage.Once decay has set in, all a dentist can do is to fill the gap with artificial filling.But in a paper published in Cell,Hannele Ruohola-Baker,a stem-cell biologist at the University of Washington,and her colleagues offer a possible43.Stem cells have the44to turn themselves into any other type of cell in the body.It may soon be possible,the researchers claim,to use those45cells to regrow a tooth's enamel naturally.The first step was to work out how enamel is produced.As enamel-making cells,known as ameloblasts,disappear soon after a person's adult teeth have finished growing,the researchers46samples of tissue from human foetuses(胚胎),which contain plenty of functioning ameloblasts.47,they checked to see which genes were especially active in the enamel-producing cells.It turned out that genes designed to bind to calcium were particularly busy.48that information,Dr Ruohola-Baker and her colleagues next checked to see whether the stem cells could be persuaded to49ameloblasts.The team devised various drugs designed to activate the genes expressed in functioning ameloblasts.That worked,with the engineered ameloblasts producing the same proteins as the natural sort.For now,the work is more concept than a medical treatment.The next step is to boost

are similar,but not quite 52,to human enamel.The proteins could be included in toothpaste and even cough drops.But synthetic formulations can be less53than human enamel.It will take time for either

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the1950s in Arizona,watching westerns on his family's20-inch black-and-white TV,he would climb right up to the screen,as if to surround himself with the image.He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color.So he searched through his family's collection of slides quickly,having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue,or the ground to a realistic-looking green.Sometimes his mom walked in,and she saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set.Often,she would say,“You're going to burn your eyes out!”Spielberg's mom,like all the other50s moms who said the same thing,was wrong about that.But we all know what she must have been thinking:Who is this child?If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past50years or so---Jaws Schindler's Lisl,E.T---you have some sense of who this child grew up to be.And when you see his new film,The Fabelmans,a work of astonishing vividness that's drawn from his own family's story,you'll know even more.Movies have been around for roughly130 years;Spielberg's career has covered more than a third of that.Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It's a jetway for a new beginning.Not every75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this.Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early1970s,Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent clip.Yet his career is extraordinary in any context.He's made some box-office disappointments,but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard,probablybecause there isn't one.No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship,to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.56.How did Spielberg's mom feel when she saw her son's behavior in front of the TV set?A.Proud but upset.B.Surprised but supportive.C.Annoyed and desperate.D.Worried and confused.57.Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg's career is regarded as extraordinary?A.He showed great interest in filming at a very young ageB.His career covers more than a third of the movie history.C.He is committed to filming ordinary things from new perspectives.D.His films are all well-made despite some box-office disappointments58.What can be inferred about Spielberg's new film The Fabelmans?A.It's the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.B.It has been integrated with part of his growing experience.C.It represents a totally brand new type of film theme.D.It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Curiosity makes success.B.Daring to be different.C.A giant in filmmaking.D.A ground-making new film.(B)“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.”George R.R.Martin,Author of“A Game of Thrones”What do these4guys share that you don’t?BILL GATES MARKZUCKERBERG JEFF BEZOS WARRENBUFFETTNo,it's not their

making excuses to delay their life plansC.Those who are eager to become a millionaire like the four guysD.Those who are determined to be more and more self-disciplined(C)Scientists know that the internal forces that generate Earth’s magnetic field(磁场)can change and that the strength of the field swings over time.This can lead to gradual shifts in the intensity and location of Earth's magnetic north and south poles and even reversals where Earth's magnetic poles trade places.But are these geomagnetic events responsible for extreme weather,extinction,and even disasters?Claims that Earth’s magnetic field is responsible for climate change are widespread online,but scientists say the theory has no basis.“At this time there aren't any credible mechanisms that could make it a possibility,”says Gavin Schmidt,a climatologist in New York."It's not that we're ruling out magnetic effects on climate without thinking about it,we collectively have thought about it,and it's been found devoid.There are three north poles on Earth:true north,geomagnetic north,and magnetic north.True north is a fixed position on the globe that points directly towards the geographic North Pole.But geomagnetic north,currently located over Canada's Ellesmere Island,is not a fixed point---it represents the northern axis(轴)of Earth's magnetosphere and shifts from time to time.Magnetic north corresponds to magnetic field lines and is what your compass locates.During a pole reversal,Earth's magnetic north and south poles exchange locations.This happens on average every 300,000years or so,but the last reversal occurred around780.000years ago.Some scientists have assumed that reversals and the corresponding decrease in strength of the magnetic field could cause a big problem that increased solar radiation was able to enter Earth’s atmosphere,altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.Kirk Johnson,a director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History,has spent much of his career studying the extinction of dinosaurs.While analyzing fossil records and timelines surrounding his research,Johnson zeroed in on the magnetic reversal that occurred around66.3million years ago.Deep ocean samples revealed significant climate change around66.3million years ago.But this also coincides with a large volcanic eruption in India called the Deccan volcanism,which produced some of the longest lava(熔岩)flows on Earth.“We've always owed that transition to the carbon dioxide released by the Deccan volcanism and the increase of greenhouse gases,”says Johnson.“There are two things happening:The magnetic field is changing,the Deccan volcanism is happening,and there's climate warming.So that would be an example of coincidental climate change.”63.The underlined word“devoid”in paragraph2probably means.A.fruitlessB.obviousC.reasonableD.misleading64.Which north pole on earth is involved in the pole reversal?A.True north.B.Geomagnetic north.C.Magnetic north.D.Geographic north65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The geomagnetic events are to blame for the climate change.B.The decrease in strength of the magnetic field resulted in extinction.C.The magnetic field is changing all the time with the climate warming.D.Internal forces which produce Earth's magnetic field can alter over time66.Which of the following statements does Kirk Johnson most probably agree with?A.A magnetic reversal doesn't necessarily cause climate change.B.A magnetic reversal is accompanied with significant climate changeC.The extinction of the dinosaurs is due to the magnetic reversal.D.Climate change is not relevant to the carbon dioxide emission.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.While these villages possess undeniable fascination,many remain underdeveloped.B.This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagersC.Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team.D.In Sukarara,a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriageE.They decide to be a bridge between tradition and progress,united for their growthF.It's about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed downStudents’Journey to Empower Rural HeritageFrom Aug.18to22a team of15Tsinghua University students,representing diverse backgrounds from China,South Korea,Malaysia,and Indonesia,set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization(振兴)in Indonesian villages,particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat(NTB).With the diverse cultural heritage,Indonesia is home to over83,000villages,each radiating its own charm and character.67The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages,two of NTB's tourist destinations.68 Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of us are accustomed.The villages are a living test to Indonesia's rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions.The Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development.69The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful,but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities.It's essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.As the journey came to an end,the students carry with them not only the memories of their experiences there,but also the responsibility to make a positive impact on these remarkable places.70They are optimistic that Indonesian villages can experience meaningful development,ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.How to Be a Better BossWorkplaces have changed dramatically over the past few years.Teams have become more isolated owing to remote work.Technology has brought great benefits but also constant interruptions,from endless Zoom calls to message flows on Slack.With each shift,the job of the manager has become harder.Many report feeling burnt-out,overloaded and confused.Yet in real life everyone suffers when management is bad and benefits when it is good Research based on a long-running survey of management techniques has found that well-managed firms tend to be more productive,export more and spend more on research and development.So the prize for better management is big.But how to obtain it?Read enough management books and you might conclude that managers need to change their personality thoroughly,becoming either Machiavelli's prince or a Marvel superhero.However,study successful managers,and more practical lessons can be drawn.One is to be clear about a firm's processes.Managers should make clear the purpose of a team,what a meeting should achieve and who will take a decision.Meeting agendas at GSK,a British drugs firm,clearly say whether an item is for awareness,to gather participants'input or intended to make a decision.Such clarity means that everyone knows what they are doing,and why.Management isn't all about piling up tasks,meetings or processes.A second lesson is that managers can add value by deleting.Sparing workers from pointless meetings,emails and projects frees them to concentrate on the work that fattens the bottom line.At the start of the year,Shopify,an e-commerce firm,deleted12,000repeated meetings from its employees’calendars.The useful ones were eventually added back.But the firm says that meetings are down by14% since the mass deletion while productivity has gone up by a similar amount.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.穿着睡衣去超市不太合适，不是吗?(It)73.这副山水画的灵感来源于王维的诗集。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.AThey say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now livingmy third life and Pmnot even a cat. My father died when T was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years,died while still in her 60s. Mysister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.This was when I began to enjoy my first life. T was very happy, in excellenthealth. I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula in SanCarlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted （使苦恼）with a slowly progressive disease of the motornerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus beganmy second life....In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aidof special equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keep myhealth and optimism, to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy? Not at all. Our home was an affair with14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I feltthat if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---1 could then admit defeat and lie down and die.Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was rainingwhen I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the caras I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. Suddenly the steering wheeljerked （猝然一动）. In the same instant I heard thebang of a blowout. It was impossible for me t o change that tire! Utterly impossible!I started the engine and thumped slowly along until I came to the dirt road,where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me t o a house and pulledinto the driveway and blared the horn.The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened tome, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who calleda cheerful greeting.

A hawthorn tree ( 山楂树)standsin new soil, and freshly dug plants bend in the wind.But Chicago City Hall here seems an unlikely spot for a garden of any variety —especially 20,000 square feet of gardens —on its roof.As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is partof a $1.5 million demonstration projected by the city to reduce its “urban heat islands ”, said William Abolt, the commissioner of the Department of Environment.Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops---soak up heat. Theretention( 滞留）canbake a building, making it hard to cool down.The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street inthe heart of downtown, has been known to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.The garden will provide greenery and shade. "And that, ,, t4 said the city officials,will save the city dollars on those hot summer days. 55 The project savings from cooling is about $4,000 a year on a new roof whose life span is about 50 percent longer than that of a traditional roof.The stretching open-air rooftop garden is being carefully built on amulti-tiered ( 多展的）bed ofspecial soil, polystyrene （聚苯乙烯）, egg-carton- shaped cones and “waterproof membrane薄(膜) ’’mall to keep the roof from leaking, or caving under the normal combined weight of soil, min and plant life.The design calls for soil depths of 4 inches to 18 inches. When the last plants and seedlings are buried and the last bit of soil is laid, the garden will have circular brick stepping-stones winding up to hills.“The primary focus of what we want.to do is to establish this laboratory onthe top of City Hall to get people involved and understanding their impact on the,, environment ;and how the little things can make an impact on the quality of life9 Mr. Abolt said, adding that the plants also help to clear the air.Rooftop gardens, in places where concrete jungles have erased plants and trees, are not new, not even in Chicago. Arms of greenery hanging over terraces or growing from rooftops, commonin Europe, are becoming more so in the United States as people become increasingly conscious about the environment.Richard M. Daley, who urged the environmental department to look into theproject after noticing rooftop gardens in Hamburg, Germany a few years ago, haspraised the garden as the first of its kind on a public building in the country.It will hold thousands of plants in more than 150 species-wild onion and butterfly weed, sky-blue aster and buffalo grass----to provide data on what( species adapt best. Small plants requiring shallow soil depths were chiefly selected.39.The rooftop garden project___________A. is common and popular in the countryB. is a demonstration project and costs the city government 1.5 million dollarsC. will make the ordinary cooling down of the city in summer unnecessaryD. aims at getting people involved and understanding their impact on theenvironment40.What can we learn about the City Hall?A. It was built ninety years ago and is the most outstanding feature in thecenter of the city.B. It is originally proper to build a garden on the top of the City Hall.C. The temperature on its top is a little bit lower than that on the streetbelow.D. It is the first building in America to have a garden on it.41.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Every year, Chicago spends about $ 4,000 on cooling the city.B. The design of the garden on the C'ily Hall specially takes intoconsideration the weight the roof can stand.C. The Mayor urged the environmental department to look into rooftop gardens inHamburg and build similar ones in America.D. Heat islands mainly refer to those dark-colored rooftops which receiveand retain heat and will not easily release the heat.42.The word “substantially ”（Line 2, Para. 5) most likely means .A. a little bitB. in factC. materiallyD. considerably Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

DSPS sufferers have internal clocks that run at least two hours slower thannormal.’t force their employees to live by the dawn-to-duskB. Businesses that donschedule would allow those with DSPS to make good use of their mostproductive hours.C. DSPSwould be unfortunate but unavoidable if our society had to choose onetimetable for everyone to live by.D. Employers willing to let their employees work flexible hours will enjoyaccess to a greater number of quality employees, higher productivity andlower office space costs.E. DSPSsufferers are perhaps a small population that's benefiting greatlyfrom the growth of flexible work in our economy.F. People with DSPS sleep perfectly fine during the hours their bodies tell themto.No matter how early she went to bed, Maggie couldn't fall asleep until the early hours. Though constantly exhausted, Maggie got good grades in school, but she often got in trouble for napping during her morning classes.After graduating from college, Maggie realized her dream of becoming a teacher. However, waking up for her 8:30 a.m. classes turned her into a zombie ( 无生气的人) , and she lost her jobbecause she lacked enthusiasm.Maggie isn ’t lazy. She suffers from delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS ，睡眠相位后移症候群) --- a disorder that affects one in 750 adults that causes them tobe somewhat nocturnal （夜间活动的）. DSPSis often confused with insomnia( 失眠），perhaps because sufferers seem tired duringthe day. However, the two disorders are very different. Insomniacs have trouble withthe process offalling asleep. __67 ____ They just can’t fall asleep early even if they want to.Essentially, DSPS means a person's internal clock is set differently. 68 ______________________________________________________________ As a result,they're out of sync ( 同步）with the rest of society. People with DSPS struggle tokeep their eyes open during morning meetings because their bodies are convinced it*s the middle of the night. They seem less efficient and creative at the office, andmake more workplace accidents. DSPSalso damages their health, causing depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other illnesses due to sleep deprivation.______69_______ . Fortunately, that ’s not the case. Flexible work schedulesare already verycommon. Traditionally, managers tend to think more people in the office equals more output, but new research shows that people who work flexible hours are more productive and more likely to stay with their company because they are happier and healthier. Thanks to these findings, many European countries have passed laws giving every worker the right to apply for a flexible work arrangement. According to Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University, most U.K. employees will be working half from home in five years.This is great news not just for DSPS sufferers but also for their companies.________________________________________________________________________ 70 ______ Consequently, they will be able to save a large sum of money.II.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Samuel looked at his sister, Emily, and said, “I wouldn’t have thought Everett would bea thief.” Emily replied, “Whoa, we don’t know that for sure.” Samuel said, “But who else could it be? He was there, he had them in his hands, and now they are missing.”Samuel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Everett to see. At the end of that day, Samuel’s mother asked him to take a note to Mr. Bates down the street, so he asked his friend, “Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?” Everett had said, “Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,” pointing at the piles of coins on the floor. When Samuel h ad returned, he had done his homework, had eaten dinner, and had read for a while before bed. It was not until two days later that he realized the quarters were gone.Emily said, “Why don’t you just ask him?” “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you steal my coin collection?” Samuel thought for a moment, deciding if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal (背叛). “How could I have misjudged my friend?”The next day Samuel went over to Everett’s house. Everett was acting funny. In fact, Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret. Suddenly, Everett cried, “I can’t stand it anymore!” and pulled something from underneath the chair. “Go on — open it! I was going to wait until your birthday tomorro w, but I can’t wait!”Slowly, Samuel lifted the top of the box. Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own place in a new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.Samuel felt heat rus h over his neck and ears. He weakly said, “Thank you — this means ... a great deal to me.” He was thankful that Everett had cut him off before he said something bad.
