It may seem like an odd place to run a dance studio, but this church was disability accessible and that’s just what Tracey was looking for. Tracey needed a new home for her wheelchair dance students after the studio that was hosting the classes closed.‎ Now Tracey has been teaching free dance classes to students in wheelchairs for over four years. This ‎ season，her class is made up of six boys and girls ranging in age from 6 to 11 who attend dance rehearsals (排练) twice a month. Tracey says these classes are about more than the dancing. “For any child to get out on stage is an accomplishment,” Tracey said. Tracey has always considered the students in her “Wonders on Wheels” class to be talented, but this week she got to share their talents with the world. On Sunday, the WOW class debuted (初次登台) a dance routine they’ve been working on since October.‎ Last October, one week before the dance class reunited for a new season, one of the WOW children, Katie, passed away unexpectedly. Her teammates were heartbroken. They decided to honor their friend by giving this season’s dance to her. Everyone knew how much Katie loved Celine Dion, so the group chose the song My Heart Will Go On for the dance routine.‎ The six WOW dancers, dressed in white, were surrounded by fourteen dancers dressed in black. These “shadows” are high school girls who volunteer to dance alongside the children in wheelchairs, helping them move across the dance floor. As the song came to an end, a huge round of applause erupted from the audience.‎ ‎11. Why did Tracey build the dance studio in the church?‎ A. It is free of charge. ‎ B. It is near her home.‎ C. It’s easy for the disabled to use. ‎ D. It is big enough to hold dancers.‎ ‎12. What can best describe Tracey?‎ A. Brave and determined. B. Talented and strict.‎ C. Devoted and hopeful. D. Generous and kind.‎ ‎13. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Tracey and her Dancing Career B. A Wonderful Dance Performance C. Children in Wheelchairs Struggle in the Dance Studio D. Children in Wheelchairs Realize Dancing Dreams C A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction. Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize — the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation — for his 40 years of work in Mauritius，where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Dodo.‎ When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just 4 left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding(人工繁殖)， which involved taking eggs from the birds’ nests and hatching them under incubators, forcing the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.‎ A decade later，the number of Mauritius kestrels had increased to over 300 and today there are around ‎ ‎400 in‎ the wild. It has also been necessary for the biologist in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction，including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler. ‎ Prof. Jones was awarded the $ 250,000 prize at a ceremony in London.‎ ‎“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn’t enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received.” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.‎ Prof. Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Return. B. Level. C. Honor. D. Research.‎ ‎15. What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The method of taking eggs from the nests has worked well.‎ B. The wild environment for kestrels has changed a lot. ‎ C. Kestrels have adapted to the life in the wild completely.‎ D. Kestrels have been harmful to other rare species in the wild.‎ ‎16. Prof. Jone’s idea of taking eggs from the birds’ nests_________.‎ A. was proved to be a total failure ‎ B. was widely accepted by the public C. was approved by the government ‎ D. was criticized by some people D White British pupils are falling behind students from other racial backgrounds by the time they reach their GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education), a report has shown. The research, by the CentreForum thinktank, suggests white British children are among the top three highest achieving groups at the age of 5. But by the age of 16, the group’s performance slips to 13th.‎ Researchers said parents’ aspirations (渴望) played a smaller role than their support for the pupil, with those from minority racial backgrounds being more supportive of their children than white parents.‎ Jo Hutchinson, CentreFohim’s associate director for education, told the newspaper: “What is bigger than aspiration is parental engagement. We are talking about things such as parents attending parents’evenings at school，talking to their children about subject options, supervising (监督) homework, ensuring that the family eats together and has regular bedtimes.”‎ ‎“Those sorts of things appear to be more associated with this effect than pure aspirations. It’s not just aspirations but behaviors that support the aspirations. ”‎ ‎“Most parents actually want their children to continue and be successful in education. What sometimes differs is the extent to which they have the knowledge and the tools and resources to help them to make that aspiration real. ”‎ A Department for Education spokeswoman said: “We welcome this report which shows the clear choice we face in education today — either we prepare today’s young people to compete with the best in the world, or we don’t. That's why we've taken the decision to set the new GCSE 'good pass' in line with the average performance in high-performing countries such as Finland, Canada, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Every time we have raised the bar for schools and colleges they have risen to meet the challenge, and we are confident that this is no exception. Over time we expect to see more pupils reach this new higher standard."‎ ‎17. White British pupils’ poor performance is due to ______.‎ A. their lack of early education B. their lack of parental support C. the educational assessment tools D. their lack of parental aspirations ‎18. What are the white British parents expected to do?‎ A. Push their children harder. B. Get actively involved.‎ C. Find out the reasons behind. D. Inspire children to aim high.‎ ‎19. What does the underlined phrase “this new higher standard” refer to?‎ A. The pupils’ average performances. B. The clear choice in education.‎ C. The new GCSE ‘good pass’. D. The bar for schools and colleges. ‎ ‎20. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. The exam system will be abolished in British schools.‎ B. Teachers didn’t pay enough attention to white children.‎ C. Guidance will be given to help white British parents.‎ D. It’s time for white British pupils’ parents to take actions.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to feed your mind at home To most Chinese people, the 2020 Lunar New Year has been quite different from any previous Spring Festival.
