Study.‎ B Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(踏板) and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.‎ The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡谷). When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” He asked, “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”‎ Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank(用力拉)his mother out. But she didn’t move.‎ ‎“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep!”‎ Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.‎ Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.‎ It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today “I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and cheekbones; now I’ve got flat cheeks and much bigger lips” but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.‎ Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained, “I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.‎ ‎34. According to the text, Rocky and Kelly _______.‎ A. were lost on a country road B. had limited time to find their way C. were involved in a truck accident D. knew little of what happened to them ‎35. When he woke up, Rocky _______.‎ A. was frightened by his mother’s blood B. found his mother had fallen asleep C. was stuck against the door of the truck D. found the car was turned over ‎36. What happened to Kelly at last?‎ A. She passed away.‎ B. She survived and recovered from injuries.‎ C. She became a hero.‎ D. She had a different life.‎ ‎37. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A Boy and His Mother B. How to Behave Well?‎ C. I Think I Can D. Nothing is Lost C During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy crossing. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four buses from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”‎ Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 810,000⸺ more than the city’s 750,000 inhabitants⸺ and 63% of the population cycle daily．‎ But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”‎ Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.‎ Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights．‎ She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”‎ Following the success of the Amsterdam plan, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”‎ ‎38. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?‎ A. To teach children how to ride.‎ B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.‎ C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.‎ D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.‎ ‎39. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?‎ A. Important B. Unnecessary C. Difficult D. Valuable ‎40. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?‎ A. Favorable B. Cautious C. Ambiguous D. Disapproving 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。‎ ‎41 Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.‎ I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.‎ ‎42 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.‎ American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 43‎ However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people. 44‎ On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. 45‎ A. Many Spanish people like to watch movies.‎ B. The Spanish people normally eat at home.‎ C. I’ve known Coca Cola my whole life.‎ D. Most Spanish people prefer to eat in restaurants.‎ E. The influence of America is increasing in my country.‎ F. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.‎ G. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture has become a part of our lives.‎ 第四部分 语言知识运用（共两节,满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分,满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Mary and her husband had a dog named “Lucky”.

One thousand and two hundred years ago, Lu Yu wrote a book called “The Classic of Tea ”, 66 is honored as “The Bible of Tea”. The book gives a detailed 67 (explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.‎ However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea 68 (it). Take green tea for example, the ideal temperature of water should be around 80 degrees Celsius. If the water is too hot, nutrients(营养物质)in the tea 69 (destroy). On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea 70 (leaf) won’t open up and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are used 71 drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend, your friend will 72 (constant) add hot water to your emptying cup. It is polite 73 (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well, 74 (take) over the cup with both hands.‎ Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is 75 saying: Wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, the half cup means modesty.‎ 第五部分 写作（共两节,满分30分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除:把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that it can be acquired like knowledge? If we analyze the creative process careful, we might know what it is and what it might work. The creative process has always accepted as the source of all important works in the arts, so we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discover begins with someone seeing the world differently from the way others sees it. And this is which creativity is all about—imagining the world in the new way. We all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, we are born for it.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分20分）‎ 假如你是某国际学校的学生会主席，下周学校将邀请袁隆平院士做一次英文讲座，介绍其试种海水稻的实验，请你以学生会的名义写一份英语通知，邀请同学们参加。内容包括：‎ ‎1. 举办活动的目的；‎ ‎2. 活动时间、地点、内容；‎ ‎3. 其他要求：限制100个名额，每隔一个座位坐一名听众；‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右 ‎2. 可以适当增加细节， 以使行文连贯；‎ 参考词汇：海水稻saline-alkali tolerant rice; 院士academician Notice ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Student Union July 5, 2020‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ ‎1-5 BCABB 6-10 CBCAC 11-15 CAACA 16-20 BBABC ‎21-25 CABCD 26-30 CDCBA ‎31-33 BDD 34-37 CDBC 38-40 BBA ‎41-45 EFCBG ‎46-50 BACDA 51-55 BCDAC 56-60 BADBC 61-65 BABCA 66. which 67. explanation 68. itself 69. will be destroyed 70. leaves 71. to 72. constantly 73. to offer 74. taking 75. a ‎76. something that it删掉it 77. careful-carefully 78. what-how ‎79. has always accepted-has always been accepted 80. so-but ‎81. discover-discovery 82. sees-see 83. which-what ‎84. the new way-a new way 85. we are born for it-we are born with it Notice In order to increase students’ interest in technology innovation and have a chance to approach the top scientists around the world, the Student Union is proud to announce that an academic lecture is going to be held next week!‎ Scheduled at 4:00 pm on July 10 in our school auditorium, the lecture will be delivered by the academician Yuan Longping, China’s “father of hybrid rice”, who will focus on the experiment of planting the saline-alkali tolerant rice.
