His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at the age of 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time in order to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten games, Owens fell down when he went downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he was helped in and out of the car that drove him to the games. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he should give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens' success at the Olympic Games in Berlin(柏林) the next year, and his success would come to be considered as not only athletic but also political(政治的). Hitler(希特勒) did not give congratulations to any of the black American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”After returning from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens' Olympic success made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and racing against cars and dogs.“Sure, it worried me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In the end, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”（1）In the Big Ten games, Owens .A . hurt himself in the backB . was successful in setting many recordsC . tried every sports event but all failedD . had to give up all events（2）We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because .A . he was the grandsonof black slavesB . he was the son of a poor farmerC . he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD . he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone（3）When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years”, he means that the medals .A . have been changed for money to help him live onB . have made him famous in the USC . have encouraged him to face difficulties in lifeD . have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs（4）What can be the best title for the text?A .

Cloze test (0.5%*20=10%)In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us, “The two of you will never be 41 .”There was some snickering(窃笑) from some seniors 42 the teacher continued, “From now on, I am not going to 43 any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with 44 grades, and you will never succeed in anything. Now get out of here.”That teacher taught Mike and me the biggest 45 of all. Though what she said was true in many ways and her words 46 us deeply, her words also 47 both of us work even harder. They carried us through 48 and into our own business.A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school 49 . It was 50 to visit with people with whom we had spent three years, though it is a period of time when 51 of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting too see that most of the so-called senior 52 had not become successful in the years after high school.I tell this story 53 Mike and I were not kids doing well in school. We were neither financial experts(金融专家) nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow-to-average learners and students. In my opinion, we did not have the natural 54 as some other people. Yet it was our teacher’s hurtful words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us strength to move 55 , to learn from our 56 and keep doing in both good times and bad times.Perhaps you didn’t do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other 57 to underestimate(低估) yourself. 58 none of them matter in the long run. They only matter if you think they matter.For those who’s considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some 59 about your abilities.Trust that you have 60 you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural gifts is your wish, hard work and deep faith that you have genius and a gift that is unique.41. A. rich B. successful C. popular D. famous42.

Reading comprehension (1%*15=15%)AAfter setting up a free online Harry Potter center in April, the British author J.K. Rowing brings even more good news.In May, Rowling published a new fairy tale called The lckabog, which was free to read online to help entertain people who are stuck at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea for The Ackabog came to her while she was still writing Harry Potter. However, after the last Potter book, she wanted to take a break from publishing, which ended up lasting five years.The unique story is about a monster known as the lckabog, a fierce child-eating monster who lives in the northern tip of an imaginary land known as Cornucopia and has incredible powers.Though the book is written for children, it is also fascinating to adults. It addresses many relatable topics, such as weak leadership, misuse of power and suppression(镇压)of those who are holding different opinions.“The lckabog is a story about truth and the wrong use of power,” Rowling wrote on the website.” “To raise one obvious question: the idea came to me well over many years ago, so It isn’t planned to be read as a response(反应) to anything that’s happening in the world right now. The themes are timeless and could apply to(适用) in any era or any country.”Rowling posted the first two chapters online on May 26, with daily installments(一部分) tofollow until July 10. The lckabog is available to read in English (UK/US), French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese on The Ickabog website. Readers can also check the website for updates on other languages.She is also planning to publish the book in print later this year and then donate the royalties(版税) from its sales to projects and organizations helping the groups most influenced by COVID-19.61. What type is JK Rowling’s new book?A. Science fictionB. Fairy taleC. HorrorD. Magic story62. Which topic is talked about in the book?A. Weak leadership.B. Lies and truth.C. Right use of power.D. Love for freedom.63. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?A. The websiteB. The questionC. The storyD. The idea64. What is the earliest time for the readers to read the complete story?A. At the beginning of April.B. In the middle of May.C. In late June.D. In early July.65. Which is NOT TRUE about J. K Rowling according to this passage?A. She had an almost five-year-break after finishing the last Potter book.B. She planned The lckabog in response to something happening right now.C. She posted The lckabog online, which is available in many languages.D. She will donate the royalties of The Ickabog to help those people affected by the virus.【答案】BADDBBBeijing has stepped up overall measures (措施)----including canceling flights, stopping classes and expanding nucleic acid testing(核酸检测)---- to keep a new wave of local COVID-19 cases under control. The move comes as the number of confirmed cases(确诊病例) in the city is expected to rise in the coming days.The Chinese capital reported 31 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 137 since the first new local case was reported on June11. All are related to(有关的) the Xinfadi market in southern Beijing’s Fengtai district.“Since Xinfadi was the largest produce market in the city, with large flows of people, and the outbreak was still in the early period, it’s likely (可能的)that the number of new COVID-19 patients will continue to rise for a certain period,” Pang Xinghuo, deputy head of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a news conference on Wednesday.These local cases were believed to be caused by contaminated objects(污染物)and then the virus was passed from human to human, she said.Among the 31 new cases reported on Tuesday, the youngest patient is 8 years old and the oldest is 70. The average age is 43, with 19 males and 12 females, Pang said.After Beijing announced on Tuesday night it would raise its public health emergency response to the second-highest level of its four levels, a group of strengthened(加强的)measures was taken to keep the disease from spreading.By Wednesday, four provinces----Hebei, Sichuan, Liaoning and Zhejiang----had reportedpatients with confirmed illness related to the cases that had appeared in Beijing since Saturday. Many cities in China have introduced a range of quarantine(隔离)measures for travelers from Beijing.66. According to the passage, measures were taken to prevent a more serious outbreak of COVID-19 in Beijing, except___________.A. stopping classesB. expanding nucleic acid testingC. taking quarantine measuresD. canceling flights67. From the second paragraph, we know that___________.A. 31 new COVID-19 cases were from the Xinfadi marketB. 137 new COVID-19 cases were from the Xinfadi marketC. the number of new COVID-19 cases before Tuesday was unknownD. the new COVID-19 cases were increasing in Beijing68. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to Pang Xinghuo?A. The iocal cases were considered related to contaminated objects.B. There were more female patients than male patients on Tuesday.C. Among the new cases on Tuesday, the youngest was 8 years old.D. The number of new cases will probably continue to rise.69. We can infer from the passage that the local new cases in Beijing may be caused by___________at first.A. virus in the airB. people from other provincesC. unclean chopping boards(切菜板)D. lose contact between humans70. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Infections(传染) in Beijing “likely” to increaseB. A serious outbreak of HINI in XinfadiC. The highest public health emergency response everD.

After three years of hard training, he got 26.5 points out of 30. “It wasn’t a high score, since many of my classmates got full scores, but I’m still happy, since I tried my best,” Sun said.Many junior 13 students across China recently took the PE test. Accounting for(占) 30 to 60 points on senior high school entrance examination, PE has been a big challenge for many junior high kids. Many kids like Sun have been training hard for it.Gong Siyu from Chengdu, Sichuan is in Grade 8. She signed up for an after-school training class. “Since Grade 7, I’ve been practicing every Saturday evening for two hours, doing pull-ups, an 800-meter run and basketball,” she said. In 2022, when Gong takes the test, the PE test will be worth 60 points, 8.5 percent of the total score in senior high school entrance examination.“I think it’s a good thing,” Gong said. “Health is important, and by preparing for the teat, we get more opportunities to exercise and relax.”However, not all students enjoy the process. Liu jiawei from Songyuan, Jilin will take the test soon. He often feels tired from practicing every day. “I’m not athletic and can’t run fast,” Liu said. “In a simulated PE test, I got only 20 points out of 50. This will largely influence my overall ranking in the senior high school entrance examination.”But he also pointed out a silver lining to the situation. “Our teacher used to use our PE classes for other subjects, such as math, but now they are not taking away our PE classes anymore!”48.

Students like PE training because teachers do not take away PE classes anymore.CThree possible names for China’s first Mars rover(探测器) have come out after a 40-day global online poll. “Zhurong”, a fire god in ancient Chinese mythology, tops the list with 504,466 votes. “Nezha”, a beloved Chinese mythological figure, ranks second with 444,123 votes. “Hongyi”, from the Confucian Analects, which can be translated to “_______”, came in third with 417,647 votes.According to China Daily, the the global naming campaign kicked off in July 2020.

The COV AX(COVID-19 vaccines Global Access) mechanism(机制) was then created to ensure equal access to safe and effective vaccines for all countries and regions, according to Business World.Although there have been rumors(谣言) about vaccines being unsafe, the majority of people seem to realize the importance of vaccination for building mass immunity(大规模免疫) in order to stop the virus from being spread.Zhang Wenhong, China’s leading experts on infectious diseases, said it’s good that the world has come to understand that vaccines will protect us, according to Global Times. Zhang added that human beings belong to one family.

President Xi Jinping announcedChina’s “complete victory” in eliminating extremepoverty(消除贫困). China had set a goal of ending povertyby the end of 2020. As the goal was reached, a grandgathering was held in Beijing to mark the nation’s poverty alleviation accomplishments(扶贫成就) and honor model poverty fighters.China set its poverty line at an annual income of 2,300 yuan in 2010 for each person. By 2020, a person making less than 4,000 yuan a year could be described as living in poverty, according to Xinhua. Over the past eight years, the last 98.99 million people have shaken off poverty, which was one of the goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan(2016-2020). All 832 poor counties(县) and 128,000 villages have also been removed from the poverty list.The United Nations has set the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (《2030年可持续发展议程》). China has met its poverty alleviation goal 10 years ahead of schedule. And according to the World Bank, China has helped end 70 percent of poverty worldwide since the late 1970s.Ordinary people made this achievement possible. Zhang Guimei, 64, created the first free senior high school for girls in China. As the principal(校长) of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan, she helped more than 1,800 students go to college during the past 40 years.The head of a mountain village fought poverty by improving local transportation. Mao Xianglin, 62, is the head of Xiazhuang village. This increased the per capita income(人均收入) to more than 40 times what it was in the 1990s.These model poverty fighters have worked in many different ways and contributed(做贡献) to China’s success in ending poverty. According to Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University, US, China’s success “should inspire the world.” “(It should) draw on China’s experience, including massive investments(大规模投资)in education, public health and advanced infrastructure(先进的基础设施),” S achs told China Daily.57.What’s the be st title of this passage?A.

When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again.The boy puts his head down and prays, "Dear God, this is an exception! I need help now! I'm over."

For example, there are 350types of sharks, and all of them are meat esters. Some sharks are very big. The whale shark is 50 to 60 foot long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf(侏儒)shark is only 6 inches(英寸)long. Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks live in every ocean on the earth, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a shark's tooth falls out, another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they "hear" sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. This helps sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn (黄昏), in the evening, or in the middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example, cancer (癌症) is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare (罕见的) in sharks. Scientists want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer, too.（1）According to the text, most sharks live______.A . in very deep waterB . in warm waterC . near the surface of the oceanD . in cold water（2）Sharks keep the oceans clean because they______.A . do well in cleaning waterB . eat sick fish and animalsC . can get cancer like humanD . can produce a kind of chemical（3）What does the underlined ( 划线的) word "vibrate" mean in Chinese?A . 振动B . 停止C . 变清澈D . 变浑浊（4）According to the text, we know _____.A . the whale shark is 50 to 60 feet longB . the dwarf shark is only 6 feet longC . sharks and dinosaurs lived in different timesD . sharks only use large eyes to find food19. （10分）阅读理解A fish that lives in America can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals got used to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.The Mangrove Rivulets, a kind of little fish, lives in small pools of water. When their living place dries up, they live on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.The new scientific discovery came during a trip."We were travelling for fun. And one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out." Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish(肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active(活跃的) way. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulets and keep active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at a Canadian University.More studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time."These animals live in conditions similar to those millions of years ago, when animals began to move from water onto land." Wright said.（1）The Mangrove Rivulets is a type of fish that .A . lives on land in AfricaB . can stay alive for months out of waterC . prefers living in dry placesD . is the longest living fish on earth（2）Who will write a report on Mangrove Rivulets?A .

Lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water in a not active way.D . The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time.（5）What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulets?A . It was made by Scott Taylor, a researcher in New York.B . It was helped by an American magazine.C . It was helped by Patricia Wright.D . It was made by a researcher while travelling.20. （10分）阅读理解The Temple of Heaven, in southern Beijing, was first builtin 1420 and was rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
