On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病) of coronavirus. ‎ The next day the store was the busiest I’ve ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close It was nuts. I didn’t have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we’d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us. ‎ Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I’ve even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes. ‎ A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I’m working the same hours. ‎ There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I’ve overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for ‎ those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it’s useless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice. We’ll appreciate the distraction, and you’ll make our day just a bit brighter. ‎ ‎21. What does the author intend to show by “It was nuts.” in paragraph 2?‎ A. The goods were in short supply. ‎ B. The store was having a big sale. ‎ C. The cashiers complained about their work. ‎ D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy. ‎ ‎22. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?‎ A. They like to shop here in disguise. ‎ B. They are panicky about the disease. ‎ C. They are more friendly to each other. ‎ D. They have taken proper preventive measures. ‎ ‎23 What is the best title for the text?‎ A. It is not work but worry that kills B. Helping others is helping ourselves C. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaos D. Here is what it’s like working in the pandemic B Sometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isn’t new at all-in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years. ‎ The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.‎ Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of ‎ work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures. ‎ Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.‎ While Arrhenius ‘findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect-still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for. ‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. The climate change. B. The greenhouse effect.‎ C. The atmosphere. D. The heat from the sun. ‎ ‎25. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Ambiguous. ‎ ‎26. What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A. Causes of climate change. ‎ B. Effects of greenhouse gases. ‎ C. Findings about global warming. ‎ D. Explorations on climate change. ‎ C Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr. Paul Gauthier, a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming. ‎ Humans have 12, 000 years of experience growing food, but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors. We are still progressing up the technology learning curve(学习曲线）. What’s more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises. ‎ The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome Dr. Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as “pie-in-the-sky” businesses. He famously calculates, for instance, that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high. Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6%of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis(光合作用)，so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light. ‎ Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high, vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas. Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again. Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for, pest control are unnecessary. It’s clear that vertical farming offers real value to society. ‎ The future is probably mixed. In some environments-the Middle East, for instance-a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer. An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland. In other geographies, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability. A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life. ‎ ‎27. What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2?‎ A. It will replace traditional farming one day. ‎ B. It relies on research of more basic science. ‎ C. It can be applicable on different conditions. ‎ D. It actually came into being 12, 000 years’ ago. ‎ ‎28. What does Dr. Albright think of vertical farms?‎ A. They use less light than traditional ones. ‎ B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed. ‎ C. They can overcome many problems in farming. ‎ D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer. ‎ ‎29 What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning. ‎ B. The secrets of developing vertical farming. ‎ C. The recent trend of vertical farming. ‎ D. The benefits of vertical farming. ‎ ‎30. Why is the example of “an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia” mentioned?‎ A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places. ‎ B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia. ‎ C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high. ‎ D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer. ‎ 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。‎ Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. 31 Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible. ‎ ‎32 Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into must-see “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions. ‎ Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling-from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. 33 have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key. ‎ Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group-or even just one other person-you may want some alone time. That’s completely fine, but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you. 34‎ Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone, 35 After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!‎ A. Give each other some space. ‎ B. Include at least one activity for everyone. ‎ C. And remember that consideration and respect go a long way. ‎ D. At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them. ‎ E. Don’t respond to non-urgent work contact or send messages frequently. ‎ F. It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places. ‎ G. So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s)are on the same page. ‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节（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。‎ A scientist 36 several monkeys in order to study animal psychology.

The scientist then put some peanuts into the bottle again 40 he had done before and showed the monkey that it only needed to turn the bottle upside down for the peanuts to drop out. 41 the monkey always ignored his 42. Each time it just shook the bottle frantically, with great 43 but without necessarily achieving 44 result. ‎ Now the question is why the monkey was unable to understand 45 the scientist instructs. 46 because all its attentions was focused on the peanuts. Instead, it must take its eyes off the peanuts and quickly 47 its attention to the 48 movement of the scientist and the way the bottle was turned upside down.

They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”‎ ‎“No, "said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. "‎ ‎“You are a coward, and afraid to go, "said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual. ‎ But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. ‎ Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. ‎ A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and cried for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him. ‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1: Robert was fast sinking. ________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2: Thus, Robert’s life was saved. ____________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力1-5BBABC 6-10ACCBB 11-15CABCC 16-20 BCCBB 阅读理解21-23DBD 24-26CBD 27-30BBDA 七选五31-35GBDFE 完形填空36-40ABBBA 41-45ADADA 46-50CDCCA 语法填空51 annoying 52 totally 53 steps 54 a 55 expecting 56 have changed ‎ ‎57 through 58 who 59 what 60 tips 单词拼写61 resit 62 criminal 63 stubborn 64 seized 65 screamed 66 reformed ‎67 generosity 68 characteristics 69 abused 70 prejudice ‎ 词组填空71 have sprung up 72 live up to 73 bent on 74 be parted from 75 free of ‎ ‎76 on the run 77 Intended to 78 be condemned to death 79 tried out for 80 is set in 写作 作文1‎ One possible version:‎ Dear Wilson How are you getting on these days?

Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore. ‎ Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. ‎
