This moving novel will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Two Can Keep a Secret Put on your crime-solving cap and get swept away in this thriller about a girl, a boy, and a string of unsolved murders. As threats and clues pile up, you’ll be burning the midnight oil trying to finish the book before dawn. Forest of a Thousand Lanterns The first book in the Rise of the Empress series takes the bones of a traditional fairy tale — a poor girl fated for power, an evil queen determined to stop her, love for someone who doesn’t love back and magic — and gives them a richly imagined East Asian setting. Dune If the Star Wars movies have made you fall in love with the space opera, eventually you’re going to read Frank Herbert’s most famous creation. The story of centuries-old political plotting — about warring factions (派系) battling over control of the extremely valuable planet Arrakis — is a classic and remains a wonderful introduction to the larger, more complex world of science fiction just beyond the Star Wars trilogies. 21. What is How It Feels to Float mainly about? A. The murder of a teenage girl. B．A girl’s space adventures. C．Challenges of growing up. D．A poor girl with special powers. 22．What kind of book is Two Can Keep a Secret? A．A fairy tale. B．A science-fiction story. C．A love story. D．A detective story. 23．Which book is about battling for control of another planet? A．How It Feels to Float B．Two Can Keep a Secret C．Forest of a thousand Lanterns D．Dune B Antarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed. The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it from below until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold and a base mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters. But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarctica’s once unassailable ice. A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017. Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling and found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more than 30% of Antarctica’s contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says. “Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to stop it.” Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.” 24．What is the new finding of scientists? A．The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate. B．The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1979. C．5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year. D．The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years. 25．Which factor leads to the EAIS’s melting fast? A．A base mostly over sea level. B．The force of gravity. C．The invasion of a warm current. D．Extremely low temperature. 26．Which of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3? A．Fragile. B．Unattackable. C．Mild. D．Unstable. 27．Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate? A．Satellite imagery. B．Global monitoring. C．Worldwide climate modeling. D．Worldwide combined efforts. C While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered”. “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun. Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns. “The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns. Even though conversion ( 转 化 ) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B．White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. “Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says. In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it. 28．What can we learn about the verbing of nouns? A．It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians. B．It is more commonly accepted by children than adults. C．It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century. D．It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice 29．What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A．Cautious. B．Satisfied. C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned. 30．What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns? A．Predictable. B．Practicable. C．Approaching. D．Impossible. 31．What is the best title for the text? A．Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？ B．Are Summering and Medaling Annoying? C．Are You Comfortable about a New Verb? D．Are There Any Rules for Verbing? D More than 30 volunteers organized by the village Party committee were participating in a group effort to produce gauze (纱布) masks, alcohol liquid and sterilizing powder (消毒粉) at a factory in southwest China's Yunnan Province to help arm the fight against the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Some villagers also had given away their sewing machines for the production work at Yunnan Xiangsha Medical Material Company in Anning City. Volunteers addressed the labor shortage during the Spring Festival holiday at the factory, which had begun to produce on. Friday. They received body temperature checks and training before the work started, with volunteers able to use the sewing machines being more than 50 years old on average. Seventy-nine-year-old Chu Shudong, who had 30 years of tailoring experience, volunteered to repair the sewing machines. “I've not done tailoring for 20 years. I'm old and my eyesight is poor. I hope to do what I can here and make more masks so that people are protected,” he said. The youngest volunteer, 22-year-old Bi Qiling, joined the team. She's available because the new semester at her university in Beijing was delayed because of the novel coronavirus outbreak. “With the volunteers, our production capacity is higher. We have 65 people, divided into two groups, and work on two shifts (轮班) a day. All the machines are working around the clock,” said Hang Kaijin, head of the factory, which has the ability to produce two tons of alcohol liquid and 200 kilograms of sterilizing powder every day. It sent its production information to the city government on a daily basis and the products were all allocated by the government. 32．What did villagers donate for the production? A．Raw materials. B．Clean gauze. C．Sewing machines. D．Alcohol liquid. 33．What can we know about the volunteers from paragraph 2? A．The average age of the volunteers able to use sewing machines was over 50. B．Chu Shudong, an experienced tailor at the age of 78, offered to do some sewing. C ． Volunteers having 30 years of tailoring experience should receive body temperature checks. D．Bi Qiling, a girl, was turned down by the university because of the novel coronavirus outbreak. 34．How did the volunteers work? A．Most of the volunteers worked twice a day. B．All of the volunteers worked 12 hours in the daytime. C．Two groups of volunteers took turns to work 24 hours a day. D．Volunteers were divided into two groups, each working 8 hours. 35．The act of the volunteers proved that____. A．great minds think alike B．more hands produce a stronger flame C．two heads are better than one D．God helps those who help themselves 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。 Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 36．Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences. 37．The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used. Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. 38 ． Some ingredients — like carrots, onions and tomatoes — are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats — like pig ears — most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat. 39．Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention. Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. 40． A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s. B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines. C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently. D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America. E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all. F. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes. G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I've come to the conclusion that I'm rubbish at saying “No”. For example, last Sunday I was sitting at my desk alone, totally 41 in my own business, when a colleague of mine phoned and asked me to get involved in 42 with her. I found myself getting all caught up in her enthusiasm and didn't want to 43 her. So I said “Sure, why not？” and before the call had 44 , I found myself agreeing, without giving any 45 whether it was worth doing. We are both window-shoppers and 46 a whole day in the street. Actually, I hardly have any time to spare because I am very busy 47 my normal job - I've also got a book to write, a business to 48 and a family to look after. And then there are my other projects to 49 —my voluntary work and a couple of other interesting investments that I want to 50 . I'm going to have to be more ruthless (无情的) and not just agree to 51 people ask me to get involved in. In other words, I'm going to have to get 52 at saying “No”. Usually I hate saying “No”, because having to disappoint someone usually 53 me. Now I realize 54 I haven't learned to say “No”, I've been feeling very 55 . We had better do what we think is right and what we are 56 to do. Sometimes it does not seem that bad to 57 others. If I focus on the things I 58 want to be involved in, I'll reach a much higher standard and do it quite 59 . I'll be enthusiastic and motivated and do something that is good for everyone and everyone will be happy. It'll be a win-win 60 . What's not good about that？So sometimes, we have to say “No”. 41．A．experienced B．absorbed C．concerned D．disappointed 42．A．reading B．discussion C．shopping D．travel 43．A．displease B．force C．support D．shock 44．A．explained B．announced C．developed D．ended 45．A．thought B．suggestion C．idea D．question 46．A．lost B．kept C．enjoyed D．wasted 47．A．because of B．regardless of C．apart from D．instead of 48．A．visit B．run C．inspect D．invent 49．A．consider B．fetch C．catch D．enlarge 50．A．take in B．work on C．turn out D．make up 51．A．something B．none C．everything D．either 52．A．further B．cooler C．faster D．better 53．A．attracts B．beats C．upsets D．puzzles 54．A．after B．because C．if D．although 55．A．impressed B．anxious C．merciful D．depressed 56．A．likely B．afraid C．willing D．proud 57．A．join B．refuse C．invite D．choose 58．A．highly B．hardly C．suddenly D．really 59．A．patiently B．well C．seriously D．accidentally 60．A．situation B．environment C．appearance D．spirit 第二节 （共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 What is art? It is very difficult to come 61． with a thorough answer. Tons of people have their own opinions and think they know what art 62． (true) is. Most people’s answers are too general to distinguish what art is. Art is a creative form of work, 63． (design) to have a purpose and show emotion. There is a purpose to every piece of artwork. Therefore, an artist had to start with _64._ unique idea, or reason for 65． they’re creating. Historically, art has many different purposes for being made. Artists have made art for logical 66． (purpose) like entertainment, communication, and sometimes just to express 67． (they). The first time I made art, it was in kindergarten. I remember a mini house glued on paper for my family. Art has to have a connection between the artist and the actual art project itself. As is the case with the Statue of Liberty, and freedom. Art’s final goal is 68． (stir) up some type of emotion. Plenty of artists express their feelings in a piece of art. Then the artist’s feelings 69． (absorb) by the audience, causing them to have 70． (emotion) reactions to the visual. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 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。错误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：在错的词下面划一横线，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。 When I was young, I was terribly poor in the Chinese. Being afraid of express myself was one of the reason why I rarely did well in school. Once I failed in a mid-term exam. When I got the papers, I realized things could have been better if I listened to the teacher much more attentive. So I turned to my teacher for help and he told me “Where there is a will, there is a way. If we are devoted to learning Chinese, you’ll make it.” I couldn’t agree much. From then on, I began to work harder. Out of my expect, I made great progress soon. Today, Chinese is which my strength lies. And I’m grateful for my Chinese teacher. 第二节 书面表达（满分 25 分） 假定你是李华，得知美国外教 Peter 最近经常头痛，西医疗效不佳。请你给他写一封电 子邮件，推荐中医治疗，简介中医的优点（如副作用小、价格低等），愿意提供帮助，并期 待他早日康复。 注意：1. 词数 120 左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Peter, I’m sorry to learn that … ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【参考答案】 1-5 BCCAB 6-10 BCACA 11-15 AABBA 16-20 CCBCA 21-25 CDDAC 26-30 BDCAD 31-35 BCACB 36-40 AGBED 41-45 BCADA 46-50 DCBAB 51-55 CDCBD 56-60 CBDBA 61.up 62．truly 63．designed 64．a 65．what 66．purposes 67．themselves 68．to stir 69．are absorbed 70．emotional 短文改错： 1.

Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking medicine. Therefore I’m writing to recommend Chinese medicine to you. From my perspective, Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in a sense. It treats the body as a whole and producing fewer side effects is typical of Chinese medicine. If time permits, patients can recover completely because Chinese medicine always finds the cause of the disease and treat that to clear it up for good. In addition, Chinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment is a great choice for you. Hope you will recover soon. If there is anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Yours, Li Hua 听力原文： Text 1 M: We should discuss our plans for the movie. Since it starts so soon after work, getting there might be a problem. W: I’m not really familiar with the underground. Why don’t we take a taxi or bus? M: No, we might be late if we run into traffic. Don’t worry. I know well about the underground. Text 2 W: Hello, I want to order two large pizzas. I’d like them for delivery. My address is 14 Walnut Drive. M: The pizza is 10 dollars each and you need to pay 5 dollars for delivery. It should take about forty-five minutes to get to your place. Text 3 M: I heard you were going to attend the meeting on Wednesday, Mary. I didn’t know you would go. W: Yes, Gary. I am responsible for the project now. I took Dan’s place since he had to be on sick leave. Text 4 W: Are you satisfied with the restaurant? M: Well, I have to say it’s not my thing. The food was fine, but the restaurant was too crowded and the waiters kept shouting all the time. I thought they should be working in a quieter and friendlier way. Text 5 W: Have you read this new best-seller by Mike Brooklyn? M: No, I haven’t. I don’t really enjoy fiction. W: I think you’d like this one — it’s a very fast paced adventure, and Brooklyn has a really wild imagination. M: Really? Maybe I’ll try to read it when I’m on vacation. Text 6 W: Has Mr. Jones sent you the figures for next year’s advertising campaign yet? M: No, I haven’t received anything from him. If we don’t get those figures by tomorrow morning, we won’t be able to draw up next year’s budget on time. W: We have to set the budget until Thursday, so maybe you should call him and find out what happened. M: I think I will. If I don’t hear from him by four, I’ll try calling his office. Text 7 W: Thank you for meeting me, Dr. Freeman. M: It’s my pleasure. I’m glad to be here. W: Sorry for the short notice, but we’re hoping to air this story on tonight’s evening news. The producer already briefed you about our interview, right? M: Yes, she told me we’re going to discuss the research results of our study. W: Yes, hopefully the results will encourage more people to recycle and care for the environment. The interview should take about thirty minutes. Are you ready to begin? M: Sure, let’s start. W: Good evening. Today with me is Dr. Freeman. And you know he is … Text 8 W: So, Eric, how is life in Greenland these days? M: Oh, you know. Winters are long. I live on the coast, though, so I get to see the ocean every day. That’s always nice. W: I heard that winters in Greenland are somewhat shorter than they used to be — global warming, I guess? M: Yes, that’s true. They’re calling it “the greening of Greenland”. W: The “greening”? What does that mean? M: Well, the average temperature in Greenland is rising twice as fast as in other places. So, now I have a few trees near my house. Trees didn’t use to exist in Greenland, you know! And we, um, people are growing some vegetables now — cabbage, potatoes, and things like that. And farmers can grow more grass for their animals. Text 9 W: Hello, this is Tina. I haven’t booked my flight to DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport? M: Yes, well, if you’re flying, Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right in from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore-Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town. W: OK, cool, I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don’t think it would be very convenient. M: Yep. We’re in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner. W: Do you include breakfast? M: Yes, madam, and we also offer dinner if you like. W: OK. That sounds good. Thank you. I’m going to think about it and once I’ve got everything booked, I’ll give you a call. M: OK. Have a good day. Text 10 W: I’ve just discovered a fantastic new show called How Do They Do That?. The idea is simple. Take a topic — like travel, for example and then think of lots of little mysteries that could be explained. How do planes take off and land? That sort of thing. Then get two young, enthusiastic hosts in a lab to do lots of exciting experiments. Add some pictures to explain the process to the audience and that’s the show. Get the idea? Each edition looks at a different subject. As well as travel, topics that have already been covered include education, the body, things around the house and magic — my favorite so far. Still to come are personal finances, the natural world, sports, and life and how to live it. The one I’m personally looking forward to the most is how to meet the perfect partner. But some of my friends would like to know how to eat chocolate without putting on weight. What I like most about the show is that it’s fun and you learn something at the same time, so you don’t feel so guilty about spending 60 minutes in front of the TV each week. So if you aren’t already watching How Do They Do That? I strongly recommend that you make the time. You’ll never think it boring. It’s on every Tuesday at 9 p.m. but this week’s edition won’t be shown until half an hour later because of the live international soccer game. Get watching and start learning!
