However, ‎ that’s exactly what 13-year-old Luke Thill did – he built his very own tiny home in his parents’ backyard – and all for $1,500 buckaroos! ‎ So just what Luke’s inspiration? “I was just on YouTube looking around and came across a tiny house idea and I decided to build my own.” Moreover, there is just one other reason he decided that he wanted to create his own home, was because he found himself getting really bored during his summer vacation. ‎ Once Luke started to plan of building his tiny home, he needed to ask his parents for permission of course. Greg and Angie Thill, Luke’s parents, immediately recognized that their son was on a serious mission. Therefore, they gave him the approval.‎ When Luke first started, he set out to raise money by mowing lawns, raising money online, and used recycled materials. ‎ Even though he got some negative feedback from some people at school, he brushed it off and kept working at his dream home. There was absolutely nothing that could bring down his aspirations to realize his goals.‎ It didn’t take long for the rest of the town to hear of Luke’s adventures. Every time someone saw Luke, they would ask him questions about the house – so Luke decided to create a YouTube channel so that everyone could follow along with progress. This channel caught the eye of the media too!‎ Now Good Morning America wanted a tour of Luke’s tiny house and of course to interview him. After the Good Morning America interview, Luke was contacted by a house designer. Someone he deeply admired too! Luke just couldn’t believe his luck.‎ There was no way for Luke to know that his tiny home would bring him so much attention, that’s not what he set out to do. After it’s all said and done though, Luke has a message to share, “I want to show kids it’s possible to build at this age.” ‎ ‎24. What made Luke want to build his own tiny home?‎ A. He wanted to raise money by mowing lawns.‎ B. He wanted to create a YouTube channel so that everyone could follow him.‎ C. He wanted to reduce his boredom during his summer vacation.‎ D. He wanted to be interviewed by Good Morning America.‎ ‎25. The underlined phrase “brushed it off” can be best replaced by “_________”.‎ A. ignored B. cheered C. regretted D. apologized ‎26. How did Luke feel about being interviewed by Good Morning America?‎ A. He was calm because he had foreseen this.‎ B. He was angry because it stopped him from realizing his goals.‎ C. He was surprised at gaining so much attention.‎ D. He was happy because he became famous.‎ ‎27. What can we draw from this passage?‎ A. No pains, no gains.‎ B. Youth means unlimited possibilities.‎ C. It’s never too old to learn.‎ D. Good children make glad parents.‎ C Vertical farming is the method of growing plants and crops over each other, mostly in buildings with many floors. They often look like skyscrapers with glass around them, similar to a giant greenhouse. For agriculture experts, vertical farming will be in widespread use in the future because the world’s population is growing constantly and ‎ there is more need for farming land.‎ Vertical farming offers many advantages. Crops can be grown on a smaller area of land; water can be recycled. Plants grow without soil. Many farming products can be harvested more than once per year. With some fruits, like strawberries, up to 30 harvests would be possible.‎ This new form of farming can also help nature and the environment recovery. Many resources could be saved, forests could be preserved. Vertical farming can protect crops from bad weather or disasters like hurricanes, storms, droughts or floods. The same weather conditions all year round provide ideal conditions for perfect crops. Overall transportation costs are lower because products are consumed in the cities in which they are produced. This could be extremely cost effective because trends show that more and more people are moving to cities. By the middle of the 21st century about 80% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas.‎ On the other side, building such vertical farms can prove to be a costly undertaking. During the beginning of such a project a lot of energy is needed. Because plants require large amounts of sunlight, and buildings with vertical farming need to be provided with artificial sunlight the whole year. ‎ Critics are not sure whether vertical farming projects can really be profitable in the long term. They suggest that such farms actually need more light and power than in normal regions. Heating and cooling costs would also be enormous.‎ They also say that not all crops can be grown in this way. Wheat and corn, for example, among the world’s most important food source, would be almost impossible to grow because they are too large and heavy. Such farming methods could only apply for lightweight produce, like small fruits, lettuce and other vegetables.‎ ‎28. Which of the following statement is right about vertical farming?‎ A. Area of land, water, soil are not required for vertical farming. ‎ B. There is more need for farming land because vertical farming takes up lots of land.‎ C. It is the method of growing plants and crops in skyscrapers with glass around them.‎ D. Some fruits can be harvested more than once a year through vertical farming.‎ ‎29. What disadvantages may vertical farming have according to the passage?‎ A. It is costly and not energy-saving at the initial period.‎ B. Large amounts of artificial sunlight and water are needed. ‎ C. Vertical farming projects offer little profit in the long term.‎ D. Light and power systems cost more than heating and cooling systems in vertical farming.‎ ‎30. Which of the following produce can be grown in the way of vertical farming?‎ A. wheat B. corn C. lettuce D. rice ‎31. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. Vertical farming-agriculture without energy B. Vertical farming-agriculture for the poor C. Vertical farming-agriculture of the future D. Vertical farming-agriculture against global warming D The most predicted astronomical event of the year, an annular(环形的) solar eclipse, will take place on Sunday in parts of Africa and Asia, according to the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.‎ A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are lined up with the Moon in ‎ between. A total solar eclipse takes place when the Moon completely veil the Sun's light, and an annular eclipse happens when the Moon is farthest from Earth as the Moon seems smaller and doesn't block the entire view of the Sun, said NASA.‎ The Sun's central part will be dark, while the edge remains bright, forming a fiery "golden ring" around the Moon, Hu introduced. It will be a spectacular event as the maximum eclipse is estimated to be 0.997 – the closer this number is to 1, the closer it is to a total eclipse.‎ The astronomical event will be visible first for the people in the northeastern Republic of Congo at sunrise, passes through Central Africa, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and other regions, and extends eastward to China before ending in the north Pacific Ocean.‎ The eclipse will start at 11:45 p.m. EST Saturday (0345 Sunday) and end at 5:34 a.m. EST Sunday. The annular eclipse will start at 12:47 EST Sunday, and reach the maximum eclipse at 2:40 a.m. EST Sunday, according to NASA. This annular eclipse will be the only one in China for the next 10 years. For the next one, sky watchers have to wait till June 2030.‎ Do remember to protect your eyes when enjoying the fantastic astronomical view. Experts warn observers not to watch the view with naked eyes or with sunglasses or through the telescope. A pair of eclipse viewing glasses is recommended, and the continuous observation time should be no more than two minutes. They also alert not to place the lens of cameras or telescopes directly towards the Sun, otherwise, the devices can be burned out.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “veil” mean in the second paragraph?‎ A. sink into B. turn down C. take on D. block out ‎33. Which of the following is NOT right according to NASA?‎ A. The moon plays an important role in the solar eclipse.‎ B. People in Asia will witness the astronomical event first on the earth this time.‎ C. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon entirely blocks out the Sun’s light.‎ D. A fiery “golden ring” will be seen in the sky when an annular solar eclipse occurs.‎ ‎34. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To tell the importance of the astronomical view. ‎ B. To offer some advice on protecting observers’ eyes and devices.‎ C. To warn the harm of observing the view without sunglasses.‎ D. To introduce some useful tools in the solar eclipse observation.‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the astronomical event?‎ A. undefined B. excited C. indifferent D. disappointed 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。‎ During life in quarantine, many of us are experiencing periods of grief—about the state of the world, how it affects us personally, how long it all may last, and beyond. 36 There are strategies you can try for dealing with the anger you feel in quarantine. Below, find Dr. Daramus's top four suggestions for cooling down and restoring a state of calm within.‎ ‎1. 37 ‎ Take a step back to recognize that you're angry, and remind yourself that it's okay to feel angry.‎ ‎"Even if the immediate problem wasn’t all that important, you probably do have a ‎ lot to feel angry about right now. Fear and anger are also related, so anger might be an attempt to stop feeling helpless.‎ ‎2. Try removing your feelings privately before you unload others.‎ If you find yourself angry while communicating whether in person or on video, before automatically reacting, try removing by writing. 38 And then re-read it before you decide whether you want to deal with someone.‎ ‎3. Be solution-oriented.‎ ‎"Focus on what you need to change," Dr. Daramus says. " 39 You may need to establish boundaries and let people know that they can’t count on you if you can’t count on them."‎ Whatever you're feeling, there's a reasonable way to make the situation work better for you.‎ ‎4. Identify whether this is something you can control.‎ It doesn't help to worry about the things we can't control. 40 Take a walk around the block, scream into a pillow, try a breathwork exercise—anything to bring you back to your present state of calm. ‎ A. Confirm your anger.‎ B. Make sure you are not helpless.‎ C. If you can, negotiate a compromise.‎ D. Writing makes you feel that you are taking control of your anger.‎ E. Get out all your angry thoughts on paper, step away from the paper for a bit.‎ F. If circumstances are beyond your control, focus on keeping your inner calm.‎ G. Grief has seven stages, and it seems that a whole bunch of us are stuck in stage three—the anger stage.‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用(共两节, 满分5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。‎ Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students. As she 41 a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the 42 “glass half empty or glass half full” question. 43  , with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”‎ Students 44 answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.‎ She, 45 “From my perspective, the 46 weight of this glass doesn’t matter. It all depends on how long I 47 it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s fairly 48 . If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my 49 ache a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up(痉挛) and feel completely 50 and paralyzed, forcing me to 51 the glass to the floor. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the 52 it feels to me.”‎ As the class 53 their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your 54 and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and 55 happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to 56 a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel completely numb and paralyzed – 57 of doing anything else until you drop them.”‎ It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No matter what happens 58 the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your 59 down. Don’t carry them through the night and into the next day with you.

It’s similar to Siri or Alexa – you can ask it questions and get answers, but silently. The device 62  (invent) by Arnav Kapur and his professor Patti Maes in 2019, as a way to increase human intelligence.‎ AlterEgo looks like a headset. It attaches to the face near the mouth and behind the ear. From its connection near the mouth, it picks up tiny movements 63 a person speaks silently. These movements are sent to a machine that 64 (match) each movement with a word. Then it can talk back to the user silently through its connection behind the ear. In this way the user can ask questions and get answers  65 (entire) silently.‎ AlterEgo was first tested with 10 people who asked for the answers 66 math problems. At the time it understood 92 percent of the words. Since then, 67 inventors have been teaching it new words. Right now, it can be used to solve math problems, to recommend chess moves, and other basic tasks.‎ There are many 68 (possible) for using AlterEgo. Since it is hands-free and silent, it allows users to ask a question 69  interrupting their conversations. It would also let a user who is in a very noisy place, or a user who must be quiet, communicate easily. Perhaps most importantly, it may help people who are not able 70 (speak) normally.‎ ‎ ‎ 第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)‎ 第一节.短文改错（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：在错词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意： l．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。 A police officer found a perfectly hiding place for watching for speeding motorists.
