He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.‎ As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.‎ They have since visited 29 different national parks across America-from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25, 000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life.

They were in T-shirts or sandals (凉鞋）. Monday was another warm day, without a cloud in the sky, and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical, honey-coloured color. It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood, when you'd be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime, and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there.‎ It wasn't early summer: it was February. And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem for many years, and that's how we go into this pickle.‎ We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago, there was a video of extreme (极端的） cold weather coming out of Chicago. Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK, that was on the other side of the world, and its temperature was-11'C then.‎ On Monday, though, the temperature hit 20. 3'C in Ceredigion, West Wales: the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached 20'C in winter.‎ This isn't good, is it? The 10 hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years, the five hottest were the last five. Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up, while the papers describe the weather as wonderful. There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily. They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold. It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.‎ ‎28. What does the author want to do in the first paragraph? ‎ A. To introduce a beautiful summer. ‎ B. To encourage kids to play outside.‎ C. To share his daily activities with us. ‎ D. To describe the scene of a warm winter.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word "pickle" in Paragraph 2 mean? ‎ A. Daily activity. B. Unusual place.‎ C. Difficult situation. D. Quick development.‎ ‎30. Why is Chicago's weather mentioned? ‎ A. To compare it with that of London. ‎ B. To attract more people to Chicago.‎ C. To show it is well-known for an online video.‎ D. To encourage more people to post videos online.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author hoped people stayed indoors.‎ B. The author worries about global warming.‎ C. The papers misled the public in weather reports.‎ D. The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.‎ D Robots have certain advantages compared to humans: They are efficient, tireless, can be repaired when damaged and they never get sick. This last quality has made them the star during our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. While hundreds of thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more are forced to stay at home for fear of getting the disease, this isn't a problem for robots.‎ This is why the COVID-19 outbreak is seen as the “tipping point” – noted The Independent science reporter Anthony Cuthbertson – for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.‎ In areas like hospitals and healthcare facilities, robots are used to perform high-risk tasks. In China, for example, a hotel in Hangzhou employed a robot named “Little Peanut” to deliver food to people under ‘quarantine. In Spain, robots are about to be used to test people for the coronavirus. Ultraviolet-light-disinfection (紫外线消毒) robots are also being widely used to clean hospital corridors and wards (病房).‎ ‎“Hospitals around the world are waking up to autonomous disinfection(消毒),” Per Juul Nielsen, CEO of Denmark's UVD Robots, a leading company manufacturing (制造) disinfection robots, told Forbes. “We can’t build these robots fast enough.”‎ In non-medical companies, robots are also replacing human employees since they don’t have the problem of social distancing and will never take sick leave. Walmart and Amazon, for example, where robots are already used in sorting, packing and shipping, are planning to increase the number of robots in their facilities. Fast-food chains like McDonald’s are not only delivering food with robots in some areas, but also looking to use them as cooks and servers.‎ According to futurist Martin Ford, using more robots than human employees can prove to be rewarding for companies – even when the pandemic is over. “People will prefer to go to a place that has fewer workers and more machines because they feel they can lower overall risk,” Ford told the BBC.‎ But this sudden increase in robot demand doesn’t mean that they triumph over humans in ‎ every aspect. According to Bill Smart, a roboticist at Oregon State University, the human contact between doctors and patients is still important. Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing routine tasks, like cleaning and giving tests, just to free up doctors and nurses.‎ It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans, but they are still secondary to human interaction.‎ ‎32. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The advantages of robots compared to humans.‎ B. Different views toward applying robots to fight COVID-19.‎ C. Why the COVID-19 outbreak has fueled robot demand.‎ D. Whether robots will replace humans in certain areas one day.‎ ‎33. What has made robots desirable during the pandemic according to the text?‎ A. They can be repaired when damaged.‎ B. They test people for coronavirus more precisely.‎ C. They never get tired and can replace doctors and nurses.‎ D. They are not weak to the coronavirus.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “triumph over” in Paragraph 7 mean?‎ ‎ A. take the place of B. be superior to ‎ C. be equal to D. are secondary to ‎35. What does Martin Ford think of the application of robots?‎ A. Its benefits are appealing and lasting.‎ B. Machines are less disturbing than humans.‎ C. It poses a threat to human employment.‎ D. There are some risks with the use of robots.‎ 第二节 七选五(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。‎ Do you feel your life is losing its passion (热情)—as though everything you do, like work and study, is boring and empty? A life passion isn’t something that drops on you from the heaven or appears from thin air. 36 If you want to begin today to display your true self and regain ‎ your own passion in life, here are some measures you can take to get started. ‎ l ‎ 37 ‎ Get a small pocket notebook and keep it with you.

She was hugging a photograph of her father with her fingers running around his face. “Daddy”, she said softly, “Why won’t you come back?”‎ Instead of gradually adjusting to her father’s death, Desiree refused to accept it. “Daddy will be home soon,” she’d tell her mother. “He’s at work.” When she played with her toy telephone, she pretended she was chatting with her father. “I miss you, Daddy,” she’d say, “When will you come back?” Desiree’s situation made her mother worried.‎ Days later, it was Ken’s birthday. “How will I send him a card?” Desiree asked her mother. “How about if we tie a letter to a balloon,” her mother said, “and send it up to heaven?” Desiree’s eyes immediately lit up.‎ Her mother took her to a store and Desiree picked out a balloon with HAPPY BIRTHDAY above a drawing of The Little Mermaid(美人鱼). Desiree and her father had often watched it. The child’s eyes shone as they were on the way to Ken’s grave. Then Desiree dictated a letter to her dad. “Tell him, ‘Happy birthday, I love you and miss you,’” she rattled off(快速说). “ ‘I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday in January.’ ”‎ Her mother wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper, which was then wrapped in plastic and tied to the end of the string on the balloon. Finally, Desiree released the balloon. For almost an hour, they watched the shining spot of silver grow smaller and smaller till disappear. “Now Dad’s going to write back to me,” Desiree declared confidently.‎ Every day since they’d released the balloon, Desiree had asked her mother, “Do you think Daddy has my balloon yet?” Several weeks passed, and she stopped asking.‎ 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，每段的开头语己为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ One day, 3,000 miles away, Wade was on a duck hunt when suddenly something in the bush caught his eyes.__________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Desiree’s fifth birthday came and later on the afternoon, a package arrived._______________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力（共两节，满分 30 分）‎ ‎1-20 ACBCC BBACA CCBAA ACBBA ‎ 阅读理解（共50分）：‎ 第一节（37.5分）‎ A篇：BAD B篇：ABAC C篇：DCAB D篇 CDBA 七选五 （共12.5分）‎ DAGCB 完形填空（15分）‎ ‎41-45 ACDBD 46-50 ACDDB 51-55DABAC 语法填空（共15分）：‎ ‎56.was chosen; 57.to take; 58.a; 59.inspiring; 60.weekly; 61.with; 62.who; 63.success; 64.belief; 65.friends.‎ 应用文（15分）‎ 参考范文：‎ Dear Bill,‎ I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to your whole family for what you did for me when I was studying in Blair Academy as an exchange student last year.
