Here are some of this new year’s most wonderful displays.‎ Sydney, Australia Sydney is well known for its great fireworks. It is also the only city in the world to hold two shows. The first takes place at 9:00 pm to enable families with young kids to celebrate the new year and is broadcast live nationally. The second show at midnight, is enjoyed live internationally.‎ Dubai, UAE Dubai is famous for its larger-than-life shows. The record-holder for the world’s largest fireworks display (2019) did not disappoint. The eight-minute sight featured fireworks going off from 23 locations in downtown Dubai, including the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.‎ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ReveilIon de Copacaliana is one of the largest outdoor New Year’s Eve events in the world. While the day-long party includes musical performances and other entertainment, it is the fireworks that are the biggest draw. At midnight, thousands of fireworks are set off from 11 spots off the coast, lighting up the dark skies.‎ New York City, USA As is the case every year, more than a million people from across the globe wait for hours to see New York City's famous midnight ball drop.

We were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退). She said a polite “no”.‎ That didn’t stop me. I drew the piano keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.‎ I still remember the first one. I was moved by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I ‎ was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.‎ My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The tryouts (选拔) were difficult. Some of the questions includes an estimation (评价) of the composer (作曲家) or when it was written. However, I was finally offered a place. At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and bought my first piano.‎ When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools. ‎ ‎24. Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last? ‎ ‎ A. She suddenly made a fortune. ‎ ‎ B. She had no doubt of his talent as a pianist.  ‎ ‎ C. She realized he meant what he said.‎ ‎ D. She was shocked by his first performance.‎ ‎25.

To introduce the method of mental practice. ‎ ‎ B. To encourage people to stick to their dreams.‎ ‎ C. To share how he advised his mom to buy a piano. ‎ D. To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Mother’s love B. Never give up C. From paper to piano D. The piano in the dream C With their school still closed and boredom coming in, a group of teenagers decided to do something meaningful.‎ Since April, students from Lake Highland Preparatory School in Florida, US, launched a free online tutoring service to help younger students with their schoolwork. Since then, Orlando Student Tutoring has lined up about 50 students, all of them children doing assignments from ‎ home.‎ Their services, using Zoom, are open to any student who is interested. They’ve received signups from across central Florida and, much to their surprise, requests from students in other states such as California and Pennsylvania. “We’ve been very happy to actually help,” said Jeffrey Zhou, 17. “I didn’t expect we’d get as many students as we did.” ‎ The core group of tutors are members of Lake Highland’s robotics club. “We were all just so bored,” said Pavan Kanumalla, 17, who helped get the tutoring program running. Knowing the pandemic(流行病) had done real damage to many others, they were “feeling guilty about being bored in quarantine (隔离期),” he said. While not sure what to do at first, the group settled on tutoring and was soon designing a website and lining up other students to serve as tutors. “We’re just trying to have the biggest influence we can,” Kanumalla said. ‎ Brooks Ellson, 17, also joined in as a tutor. He helped a third grader who needed help with math, saying it felt good “just to offer something, to give back.” And, he admitted, it was something to help fill the long days. The students plan to continue over the summer, offering fun, summer-camp type classes to younger kids. ‎ ‎28. What does Orlando Student Tutoring do?‎ A. Look after younger children.‎ B. Help younger children with their schoolwork.‎ C. Teach younger children robotics.‎ D. Train younger children to do housework.‎ ‎29. Jeffrey Zhou felt surprised about the fact that ______.‎ A. many parents found it hard to teach their children B. their service wasn’t welcomed in California C. their program has interested many students from other states D. many students across the country have signed up to be tutors ‎30. Why did Pavan Kanumalla feel guilty?‎ A. He didn’t know what to do during the pandemic.‎ B. He couldn’t tutor during the pandemic.‎ C. He failed to continue the program into the summer.‎ D. He felt bored while others suffered damage from the pandemic. ‎ ‎31. What did Brooks Ellson think about Orlando Student Tutoring?‎ A. It benefits children of all ages.‎ B. It should be more fun.‎ C. It allows him to kill time in a meaningful way.‎ D. It should offer more types of classes to satisfy parents.‎ D While it’s no surprise that heavy drinking comes with health problems, women will experience more serious symptoms(症状) from alcohol—including an increased risk of alcohol-related death, according to a new study.‎ The researchers found that’s even more alarming considering the number of women who are drinking alcohol too much is on the rise, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Even though men are not only more likely to drink alcohol but also more of it, alcohol hits women harder. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that “gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to take in more alcohol, and take longer to metabolize and remove it from their bodies,” adding, “These differences also make it more likely that drinking will cause long-term health problems in women than men.”‎ Heavy drinking also impacts heart health. The CDC states that studies show women who drink overmore have a higher risk of damaging the heart muscle than men. Keith Humphreys, a professor studying alcohol drinking at Stanford University explains that, one of the reasons why alcohol has a more effect on women is because, on average, they weigh less than men. According to the NIAAA, “Alcohol resides predominantly in body water, and, women have less water in their bodies than men. This means that after a woman and a man of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman’s blood alcohol concentration will tend to be higher, putting her at greater risk for harm.” But it’s not just about size. Research shows women also have fewer Alcohol Dehydrogenase Enzymes(脱氢酶), which help the body metabolize alcohol. ‎ The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans has suggested that when drinking alcohol, it should be done properly: up to two drink per day for women and one drink per day for men of legal drinking age.‎ ‎32. What makes alcohol-related problems more serious?‎ A. Heavy drinking mainly affects women. B. Women drink more alcohol than men.‎ C. More and more women drink alcohol. D. Women often have health problems. ‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “metabolize” mean?‎ A. recognise B. handle C. melt D. absorb ‎34. What makes women suffered more by alcohol?‎ ‎①The low ability to metabolize alcohol. ②Gender differences ‎ ‎③Less water in bodies ④The weaker heart muscle A.①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④‎ ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Drinking too much causes serious results. ‎ B. Men tend to absorb alcohol easily.‎ C. Alcohol affects women more than men.‎ D. It is dangerous for women to drink alcohol. ‎ 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。‎ Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness Do you know there is something greater for you? Do you have ideas on what that may be, but can’t make them happen? Here are four steps to help you get started：‎ ‎♦ 36 ‎ Many times we live based on others’ expectations. Own your path. It can be hard to do, but allow yourself to focus on your heart. Look within yourself deeply, and decide what you want and what’s true for you.‎ ‎♦ Take action.‎ There is no better time to create the life you want than right this very moment! 37 To get started, you just need to put one foot in front of the other. Baby steps are key! If you want to start going to the gym, going from 1 day a week to 5 days a week right away is extreme. Instead, start slow and go once or twice a week. After you do that for a while up it to more days. 38 ‎ ‎♦ Be determined.‎ Even if you are working hard towards your goal，there may be bumps on the road—don’t give up. 39 So if you are trying to eat better, and you have a day when you aren’t sticking ‎ to the plan, don’t give up. Accept that moment, and then keep moving on.‎ ‎♦ Have the right support.‎ ‎ 40 List the right support to cheer you on in the process. It could be a friend or a family member. Or, a 3rd party like a coach can give you an outsider opinion. Whoever it may be，having someone you can believe in will be just what you need to keep you on track.‎ A. Don’t do it alone.‎ B. Follow your own heart.‎ C. Timing is never perfect.‎ D. Depend mainly on yourself.‎ E. Action always speaks louder than words.‎ F. Over time, you will achieve your goal by taking realistic and smaller steps.‎ G. These bumps help you grow and make you stronger every time you get past them.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分４５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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This old saying is useful when you are making 41 in high school.‎ Now look around you and carefully 42 .
