A 43 of love and forgiveness washed over me.

The argument had been over the “apple” logos they both have as part of their trademarks(商标).‎ ‎ Shortly after, The Beatles’ music was launched for download. While the band’s hit songs didn’t make as big an impact as commentators(评论员) lad predicted, the event still led to plenty of press coverage. ‎ But iTunes isn’t the only technology linked to The Beatles. The Beatles: Rock Band is a video game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii which allows you to become The Beatles. Released in 2009, the game includes a drum kit, guitar and microphone so you can sing and play along to your favourite songs. Not surprisingly, the game was a huge success, selling more than two million units. A remastered box set of all The Beatles’ albums was released on the same day, which also sold well.‎ Films about The Beatles are also popular. Recent movies include Nowhere Boy, which is a film about the life of John Lennon. It’s directed by Sam Taylor-Wood and stars Aaron Johnson and Kristin Scott Thomas. ‎ Magazines and newspapers are still often filled with Beatles stories, and the zebra crossing near Abbey Road recording studios(where the 1969 album of the same name was recorded), was ranked Grade II listing in 2010, which means it’ll be protected. This followed similar recognition for Abbey Road studios itself.‎ And the future for The Beatles? Well, the band could still top the charts as there are unreleased tracks that still haven’t seen the light of day. A strange experimental track called Carnival of Light, and a 27-minute jam of Helter Skelter have never been heard by the public. ‎ Will they ever be released?‎ 1. According to the passage, The Beatles’ hit songs in 2006 ______‎ A. did not have “apple” logos B. were not well received as expected C.couldn’t be downloaded D. had a bad impact on commentators 2. Why is The Beatles: Rock Band mentioned in Paragraph 2?‎ A. To show the increasing popularity of video games. ‎ B. To highlight the technological application of The Beatles.‎ C. To promote the online sales of technological devices.‎ D. To emphasize the music talent of the rock band.‎ 3. From the passage we know John Lennon is ______. ‎ A.a member of The Beatles B. the director of Nowhere Boy C.a game developer D. the lead actor of Nowhere Boy ‎54. The protection of the zebra crossing implies that ______. ‎ ‎ A. the road was in bad state and needed protection ‎ B.the road was a desirable place t report Beatles stories ‎ C.the road made it difficult to recognize Abbey Road studios ‎ D. the road was of historic importance and deserved attention ‎55. What makes The Beatles’ topping the charts possible?‎ ‎ A. Classical music. B. Unreleased songs. C. Strange works. D. Public curiosity.‎ B I have been carrying a notebook and pen around with me since I was three. I practiced letters over and over because the act of writing was appealing. Once I could form words, I discovered the beauty of the sentence. The pages transformed into two- or three-line tales about dogs and horses and something else that interested me. ‎ Eventually, I began to understand what it was my heart longed for: to create words and stories. I wrote plays out of the adventures of my American Girl dolls and mimicked(模仿) the mysteries of Harry Potter. I scribbled(涂鸦) across margins in class notes and grabbed any magazine that caught my eye. ‎ I was 11 when I wandered into a Goodwill shop one afternoon with my mother. We searched for treasures and I discovered a row of old typewriters. Most were black, some electric and others manual(手动的), almost all behemoths(庞然大物). Many keys were yellowed with age, but they all shone up at me like magic. I spent long minutes opening cases, tapping keys, shifting rollers to hear that oh-so-delightful ping.At last, I came across a small tan case. Inside was a 1950s baby blue Smith Corona typewriter. I was instantly attracted. ‎ I begged my mom to buy it. Despite my puppy-dog eyes, we left without it. Months passed, and the typewriter left my mind. Christmas arrived with a usual number of presents, until we reached the last one: a tiny box behind the tree. Inside I found a typewriter tape, along with instructions to look under my brother’s bed. With a scream I dashed for his room and found a familiar tan case hidden below. ‎ Within minutes, I had the baby blue beauty set up at our dining table and paper gathered. Growing up, I spent many hours pulling out the typewriter whenever I wanted to copy handwritten ‎ stories or needed inspiration.I dragged it with me when I moved from Illinois to Washington.‎ My typewriter made my childhood dreams of being a writer feel real. Its well-worn keys stoked the creativity in my soul. The words I imagined went from the scribbled pages of notebooks to the print of the typewriter. It was as if I was turning these fantasies into published works all on my own. ‎ 56. What happened after the author was able to write a sentence?‎ A.She developed an interest in writing. B. She took to practising her handwriting. ‎ C.She showed much affection for pets. D. She became a huge Harry Potter fan.‎ ‎57. Why was the author attracted to the 1950s Smith Corona typewriter? ‎ ‎ A. It had yellow keys originally. ‎ ‎ B. It was in better condition than the others. ‎ ‎ C. It was of small size and had a unique color. ‎ ‎ D. It made a more delightful sound than the rest. ‎ ‎58. How did the author finally get the typewriter she had desired?‎ A. She saved up for the typewriter. B. She received it as a prize. ‎ ‎ C.She got it as a Christmas gift. D. She got it from the shop owner.‎ ‎59. The underlined word “stoked” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “ ________”.‎ ‎ A. prevented B. increased C. reflected D. consumed ‎60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Magical Typewriter B. Happy Childhood ‎ C. Power of Words D. Typewritten Wonder C ‎ Last spring, I started a new exercise class. As someone who dislikes doing jumping jacks, burpees, and push-ups, I found the workouts surprisingly enjoyable, at least for a while. But after several months, I was overly familiar with the class routine, and my excitement had been replaced with boredom. ‎ A 2016 study for the American Psychological Association estimated that 63 percent of us suffer from boredom regularly. And research shows that chronically(长期地) bored people tend to fall into depression, drug abuse and anxiety. ‎ But boredom isn’t a character weakness. It’s a state caused by something called hedonic(‎ 享乐的) adaptations, or the tendency to get used to things over time. This explains why activities and even relationships that were initially satisfying can sometimes lose their appeal. ‎ Humans are remarkably good at growing accustomed to changes in our lives, both positive and negative, according to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside. This is a good thing when we are faced with adjusting to setbacks such as losing a loved one or a job. But becoming insensitive to positive events can prove harmful. Think about the last time you got a raise, bought a car, or moved. At first, these experiences can bring immense joy. But over time, they become part of the routine. We are ready for the next new thing to excite us. ‎ While boredom can be a downer when it removes the pleasure from our lives, it can provide a sort of service. “If our emotional reactions didn’t weaken with time, we couldn’t recognize new changes that may signal rewards or threats,” Lyubomirsky says. In other words, we’d ignored cues signaling us to make important decisions about our relationships and safety. ‎ It’s not unlike how our reactions change when we fall in love or experience loss. Being caught in the glow of happiness or the web of sadness can make us distracted or forgetful. We may miss signals that indicate whether we’re about to make a smart move or a disastrous one. The good news is that understanding the connection between hedonic adaptation and boredom can help us. ‎ A study published in 2018 in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin showed that finding unusual ways to get along with familiar people, places, and things can make everyday experiences feel exciting. In other words, sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up!‎ 61. The author talked about his new exercise class in Paragraph 1 to ______. ‎ A. introduce the topic of boredom B. show the negative effects of exercise C.prove the significance of exercise D. encourage people to work out regularly ‎62.What did the 2016 study find about boredom?‎ ‎ A. Three in five people are bound to live with boredom.‎ B.Occasional boredom has no side effects at all.‎ ‎ C.Lasting boredom may affect people negatively. ‎ ‎ D. 63 percent of people are victims of anxiety disorder.‎ ‎63. Why do some people suffer from boredom?‎ ‎ A. They possess some character weaknesses.‎ ‎ B. They adjust themselves to negative changes.‎ ‎ C. They get accustomed to previous happenings.‎ ‎ D. They have difficulty handling human relations.‎ ‎64. What can we infer from Paragraphs 4 and 5?‎ ‎ A. Emotional reactions result in decision making. ‎ ‎ B. Emotional reactions determine the social relationship. ‎ C. Boredom leads to being distracted or forgetful.‎ D. Boredom helps the discovery of new changes.‎ ‎65. At the end of the passage, the author might continue to write about ______. ‎ ‎ A. the tiny excitement of familiarity B. some fresh ideas for keeping life fresh ‎ C.the reasons for accepting boredom D. some methods to mix things up 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。‎ If you know something is bad for you, why can’t you just stop? After decades of research, scientists have found clues to why bad habits are so difficult to kick. (66) ▲ .‎ ‎ Too tired to drag yourself to the gym? Not enough time to squeeze in a swim? (67) ▲ Short bursts of exercise can be beneficial too. For example, go for a shorter walk, but introduce some jogging in the middle. You can also walk faster between two landmarks, like trees. Gardening and climbing stairs count as well. ‎ Not fancy eating vegetables? A 2019 survey found that only 29 per cent of adults ate the recommended five vegetables per day. (68) ▲ “If you’re at a party and want to eat healthier vegetables instead of fattening foods, then mentally visualize yourself doing that. It does not necessarily work, but it certainly can help,” says a researcher. ‎ (69） ‎ ▲ Therefore，it’s better to eat earlier in the day when you’re more likely to burn calories. You can also go to bed sooner so that you have less opportunity to give in to the late-night snacks. Ideally, eat nothing between dinner and bedtime. ‎ Being negative is one of the biggest barriers to maintaining good habits. Worse still, it can do harm to your sense of well-being generally. (70) ▲ Whenever negative feelings pop ‎ into you head, try to fight the self-criticism by finding three positive thoughts, which in turn make your more emotionally intelligent. ‎ A. Do remember that feelings are not facts. ‎ B. Instead, stop eating just before you feel satisfied. ‎ C. Overeating before bed proves harmful to your health. ‎ D. Fitness doesn’t always have to involve long training periods. ‎ E. A helpful technique is to imagine yourself in a tempting situation.‎ F. Now they’re developing strategies to break some of the bad habits. ‎ G. Working out in the gym regularly will exercise your muscles and make you stronger.‎ 第四部分 语法填空（共10小题； 每小题1分， 满分10分）‎ 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ With unnecessary outdoor activities banned, kids are adapting to a new life at home. Though it’s impossible to predict exactly when life will return to normal, (71) ▲ is certain is that schools will be remaining shut for a considerable period.‎ Parents, especially those who work from home and try to stay productive, come close to being (72) ▲ (wear) out with so many responsibilities. Fortunately, there are a growing number of daily activities (73) ▲ (intend) to make life more manageable in these crazy times. Recently, a company (74) ▲ (launch) a new educational resource, providing kids who are at home or off school (75) ▲ 30 fun activities. Physical education is equally important during a lockdown. One fitness club from the UK is offering (76) ▲ alternative to sports classes on YouTube. The Body Coach is another group sharing workouts for kids. (77) ▲ is an ideal opportunity for parents and children alike to come together and challenge (78) ▲ (they). ‎ Though learning from home is far from ideal, doing something to keep your kids’ minds engaged is (79) ▲ (good) than letting them watch endless YouTube videos until three in the morning. Make a few (80) ▲ (adjust) to your new life in lockdown, give your children the attention they require, and we’ll pull through this with a new-found appreciation of our teachers and schools. ‎ 第五部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ 假如你是李华，你的外国网友Tom打算暑期来盐城旅游，现在他想对盐城有一个初步的了解。请你结合实际情况给他回信，内容包括：‎ ‎1.对他表示欢迎； ‎ ‎2.举例介绍盐城的旅游或文化特色。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 词数80左右；‎ ‎2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎3.信的开头已为你写好。‎ Dear Tom,‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua 第二节：读后续写（满分25分）‎ 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文 It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport, New York, train station, jumped into her minivan and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She’s just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route so many times, she practically drove on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then ----wham! Out of nowhere on that awful night of October 10, 2017, a car hit Esposito’s minivan, forcing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, injured but mostly just stunned(吓晕) by the impact and by the vehicle’s airbags. ‎ As it happened, Pete Dipinto was getting for bed. He’d just closed his book and was ready to sleep when he heard the loud noise of metal on metal and broken glass coming from not far ‎ outside his bedroom window. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas(睡衣), ran out of the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty.”‎ The first car he came upon, 2000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito’s minivan straddling(横跨) the railroad tracks. And then he heard a shocking sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train. ‎ ‎“I see the headlight of the train.” he said. DiPinto ran to Esposito’s minivan and banged on the driver’s side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She seemed unhurt.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1、所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2、 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4、续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ ‎“Honey, you’re on the railroad tracks, and we have to get you off right now!” DiPinto shouted. _______________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Esposito was rushed to the nearest hospital and DiPinto kept her company until her family came. _________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ ‎1.

He pulled hard the handle, but the door was smashed in and still shut. The heavy train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was speeding toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. He grabbed Esposito’s arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and take her to safety behind a signal box a few feet away. ‎ Esposito was rushed to the nearest hospital and DiPinto kept her company until her family came. “It was like a Hollywood movie. Within six seconds, I estimated, the train crashed into the minivan.” DiPinto said. Informed of what happened to Esposito, the family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to DiPinto for coming to her rescue. An hour later, Esposito came round and tears filled her eyes, “I was struck with horror at that moment. Without this superman in pajamas, I would not be able to see my husband and son.” ‎
