Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.‎ ‎①Watch movies ‎“If you see the movie version of your favorite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University . “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”‎ ‎②Read magazines If you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favorite magazine, really read it.‎ ‎③Listen to how words sound Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious(有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.‎ ‎④Join a book club ‎“Book clubs are a wonderful strategy(策略) to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.‎ ‎⑤Listen to the radio Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know.‎ ‎⑥Pay attention to your surroundings Next time you walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeing as much as possible inside your head.‎ ‎⑦Read, read, read Even if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out(想出) their meaning based on the context ‎21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing?‎ A. 0. B. 1. C. 2. D. 3.‎ ‎22. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books?‎ A. By listening to the radio. B. By joining a book club.‎ C. By walking around. D. By watching movies.‎ ‎23. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ A. textbook . B. science report.‎ C. novel. D. website.‎ B ‎ I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.‎ ‎ Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”‎ ‎ I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.‎ ‎ They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.‎ ‎ As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.‎ ‎ I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.‎ ‎ My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.‎ ‎ Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.‎ ‎ Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.‎ ‎24. The passage shows that ______.‎ A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done C. mother cared much about her daughter in words D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words ‎25. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.‎ A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter C. free talks between mother and daughter D. part of the sea going far in land ‎26. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?‎ A. She had never received the letter.‎ B. For years, she often talked about the letter.‎ C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.‎ D. She read the letter again and again till she died.‎ ‎27. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children C. My mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me C The Greatest show on Earth The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sports in the world. Every four years, many countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honor in sport. As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.‎ The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first, for it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.‎ The runner with the Olympic torch (火炬) then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (宣誓) on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.‎ The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field，but there are a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in different sports，like riding，shooting，swimming，and cross－country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.‎ More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was not ‎ until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as men.‎ ‎28. Why is there honor for the losers as well as for the winners?‎ A. Because losers and winners should be equally treated.‎ B. Because failure is the mother of success.‎ C. Because losers need encouragement.‎ D. Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.‎ ‎29. Which of the following is a long－established practice in the opening ceremony?‎ A. Runners enter the stadium with torches.‎ B. Each team puts on a wonderful display.‎ C. The Greek team marches in first.‎ D. Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.‎ ‎30. Who takes the Olympic oath?‎ A. A judge from a foreign country. B. A sportsman from the host country.‎ C. An officer from the host country. D. A Greek sportsman.‎ ‎31. When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?‎ A. In 1912. B. In 1900. C. In 1928. D. In 1924.‎ D It warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day, for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip. Ivan, a food shop owner, said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day. To increase awareness(意识) of the stranger’s over-spending nature of our society, Ivan suggested a trade for food today. He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value for the meal you received.‎ At first I was really uncomfortable, wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined “I Owe You” (IOU) for food? What could I give him of equal value? After all, his food is the best in the town!‎ We ended up writing our IOU’s with promises of a book, some paintings and the offer of work in a variety of ways if he needs it.‎ I think the idea isn’t that the trade is “equal” so much as the importance of the kind of transaction. We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater ‎ understanding for the meals we ate.‎ We don’t buy a lot, especially at this upcoming time of year. We don’t give gifts at all in fact. The holiday time is spent enjoying each other’s company and doing things together with family and friends. This is what seems most sensible.‎ Ivan is a good person. We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.‎ ‎32. Ivan did not take any money that day in order to ______.‎ A. have a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip B. trade for something of equal value in return C. make people aware of their over spending D. buy nothing that day to save some money ‎33. For the meal, the author finally offered Ivan ______.‎ A. some promises B. a book C. some paintings D. work in different ways ‎34. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “transaction”?‎ A. transport B. trade C. meal D. giving ‎35. What is the author’s attitude to Buy Nothing Day?‎ A. Disagreeable B. Meaningless.‎ C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ You might take a car, a bus, or a bike to school. But in Bangladesh, instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street, many students wait for a school boat to come down the river. That's right—these students attend school on a boat!‎ Bangladesh is very close to sea level. 36 The flooding creates many problems. For the nearly 160 million people living there, the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads, electricity, or telephones.‎ Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rowan was often troubled by these disruptions(破坏). 37 The name means “self-reliance (自力更生). ” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the ‎ country. In 2002, Rowan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom. The only difference was that they floated on a river.‎ ‎ 38 Today Rowan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh. About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season. In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a health-care center. The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, and human rights.‎ At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults. 39 They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river. Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth. People can come down to the river bank to watch films. In all, these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh.‎ By floating down the rivers, the school boats provide more than books. 40 "'This ‘library’ boat inspired me," said 18-year- old student Shanto Islam, who enjoys reading science fiction books. “I started to dream.”Islam now wants to attend a university.‎ ‎ A. They also deliver knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all generations.‎ ‎ B. For this reason the land is flooded for five months of every year.‎ ‎ C. Parents living in the area are happy to have the boats.‎ ‎ D. In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai.‎ ‎ E. He did not want to design houses, though.‎ ‎ F. Both of them can attend evening courses.‎ ‎ G. These boats have been a great success.‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分)‎ 第一节　完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。‎ ‎ After persuading most of his patients, his wife and son to go back to France ‎ following the lockdown of Wuhan, Philippe Klein, a French doctor, decided to stay in the epicenter during the COVID-19 outbreak.‎ ‎"I am a doctor, so I have to do my job and do my 41 ," said Klein, a general practitioner at Wuhan Union Hospital in Hubei province.‎ Before authorities in Wuhan 42 the city, suspending all outbound flights and trains in late January to 43 the highly infectious disease, Klein had 44 about 500 foreigners living in Wuhan, most of whom are French.‎ Following the outbreak, he closed his 45 at the hospital to reduce the chances of infection for his patients.

However, this year not so many people are leaving their homes to go shopping. These days lots of people can do their shopping in the comfort of their own home with the help of the Internet.‎ Online shopping is becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons: prices are often lower online; you don’t have to queue up in busy shops and you can buy almost any product imaginable with just a few clicks of your mouse.‎ Both male and female are buying into the trend, but women are expected to do more shopping on the Internet than men. It seems women are now more attracted to the convenience of online shopping than they used to be. Average spending online this Christmas by women will rise to £ 240 (3.360 yuan) compared to the slightly lower average of £ 233 (3,262 yuan) for men.‎ In the past a lot of people were reluctant to shop online.
