(建议用时：35 分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2020·太原模拟) 13 We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree. Nine­year­old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.” Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9­and 10­year­old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife. Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.” Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“蜂鸟班”积极响应一个环保教育 项目。该班由九岁和十岁的学生组成，他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告来提醒成年人注意 环保问题。 1．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher? A．They just pretend to be busy. B．They haven’t done their part well. 14 C．They can do nothing to stop pollution. D．They have started to care about the ocean.

A．To help adults to learn more about their kids. B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment. C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags. D．To teach students how to write poems creatively. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段尾句“The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9­and 10­year­old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.” 可知，整个“蜂鸟班”由九岁和十岁的学生组成，他们一直忙着写诗和制作在线视频广告， 提醒成年人海洋和野生动物所处的严重处境；据此可知，该项目旨在提醒成年人要注意环保 问题，故 B 项正确。 3．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in Paragraph 4? A．To prove kids are creative in teaching. B．To attract people to support his work. C．To have adults care about education. D．To show the effects of the project. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段尾句“It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”可知，真的很难相信 有父母说孩子们要求他们停止使用塑料，甚至要求他们停止使用塑料吸管；据此可推知，该 段提及父母旨在说明该项目对成年人的影响，故 D 项正确。 4．What is the text mainly about? A．An inspiring school project. B．An appeal to stop using plastic bags. C．Serious situations of our planet. D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment. A　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第三段第一句“Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose 15 creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.”为全 文的主题句，结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了“蜂鸟班”积极响应一个环保教育项目， 该班由九岁和十岁的学生组成，他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告，提醒成年人注意环保问 题。故 A 项正确。 B (2020·安徽五校质检) While an entire month free of homework or tests may sound too good to be true, that is exactly what the students at Sturenskolan School in Boden, Sweden were treated to in April. What ’ s more, if the results of the experiment prove encouraging, starting 2019, the middle schoolers will never have to worry about after­school work or tests, aside from the national examinations, which are compulsive for students across the country. The school’s principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea, said, “We are constantly receiving new reports that our children feel bad. And that’s because they have a high level of stress all the time. This is our way of trying to reduce that stress.” The educator says that while banning homework and tests sounds radical(激进的), it makes sense given the changes in the curriculum and approaches to education. While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves. Sirkka is not the only one who believes after­school work does not help students learn. In March 2018, another principal in Canada also decided to do away with homework. They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids. While the long­term impact of the recent decisions made by the two educators remains to be seen, the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years. Yet, Finnish students always rank high in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests especially in math and science but they have the least 16 homework! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before US educators follow their lead and ban after­school work as well! 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。瑞典一所学校在四月份取消了学生的家庭作业和考 试，这是该校校长 Petronella Sirkka 看到学生作业负担太重而提出的举措，且芬兰采取的 类似做法已获成功。 5 ． The students at Sturenskolan School had no homework in April because ________． A．the headmaster was experimenting with her idea B．they needed to do some experiments during the month C．they were busy preparing for the national examinations D．the headmaster had to carry out the government’s policy A　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“The school’s principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea”，并结合第一段的内容可知，Sturenskolan 学校的学生 们在四月份没有家庭作业和考试是该校校长提出的想法，故 A 项正确。 6．What makes children’s learning hard nowadays? A．Children have to do more analyzing. B．The approach to education is complex. C．Children get no support at home and school. D．There are many more facts to memorize. A　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句“While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves.”可知，在过去，学生主 要是被要求记住事实，而如今学生需要的是反思和分析。因此，孩子们往往很难自己理解这 些材料。据此可知，反思和分析让孩子们的学习更加困难。故 A 项正确。 7．What does Petronella Sirkka most likely advise parents to do? A．Help children with their homework. B．Free children from after­school housework. C．Spend more time reading to their children. D．Communicate with teachers from time to time. C　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段尾句“They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids.”可推知，Petronella Sirkka 很可能会建议父母花些时间为他们 的孩子们阅读，故 C 项正确。 8．What can we infer about the students in Finland? 17 A．They study the hardest at school. B．They have a more relaxing school life. C．They enjoy great success after graduation. D．They all have a talent for math and science. B　解析：推理判断题。根据尾段第一句中的“the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years”可知，多年来，芬兰已经取消了家庭作业、成绩等级，甚至 科目教学。据此可推知，芬兰学生的学校生活更加轻松，故 B 项正确。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2020·合肥第二次质检)What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. 1.________ Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times. Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian(爬行动物的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, and to “look good”. Let’s just face it. 2.________ So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blame and shame. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them. Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. 3.________ Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. 4.________ But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance. 5．________ When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.” You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.” A．Practice positive selftalk. 18 B．So the solution to pain is an inside job. C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
