The first-year Harvard Medical School student discovered that most information about the widespread virus was only available in English and a small number of other languages, leaving those who do not speak those languages in the dark.‎ ‎“This makes it very difficult for immigrants (外来移民) and non-English-speaking communities to seek care for COVID-19,” Chandrashekar said. “We know from past epidemics like the swine flu (猪流感) that the lack of accessible information in one’s native language places these populations at a higher risk of infection.”‎ She decided to take action, creating the COVID-19 Health Literacy Project. Chandrashekar brought together a group of students from more than 30 universities to create fact sheets in languages not commonly represented in the American health care system. She tweeted about her effort on March 14 and included an interest form in a following tweet that collected more than 500 responses. From there, she formed a still-growing team of over 175 medical students. Together, the students created seven fact sheets, in 35 languages.‎ ‎“Our goal is to make sure we’re producing accurate, evidence-based information,” Chandrashekar said. “When you’re putting information out to the public and health care organizations are distributing it to their patients, you really want to make sure the information you’re providing is correct.”‎ Going forward, Chandrashekar plans to keep building the network of partners and expanding the languages offered to serve the greatest number of people.‎ ‎24. What does “their needs” in paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. The information about the the COVID-19.‎ B. The care for people in the dark.‎ C. The medical students coming from other countries.‎ D. The accessible information about the COVID-19 in more languages.‎ ‎25. Where do the members of the COVID-19 Health Literacy Project mainly come from?‎ A. More than 30 universities. B. Followers of Chandrashekar’s tweet.‎ C. Students in medical teams. D. Health care providers all over the world.‎ ‎26. What’s Chandrashekar’s plan for the future?‎ A. Providing correct and evidence-based information.‎ B. Offering accessible information in different languages to the people in need.‎ C. Working with health care providers around the world.‎ D. Displaying and distributing fact sheets to patients in their care.‎ ‎27. In which section of the newspaper can you probably find this passage?‎ A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Community. D. Advertisements.‎ C For more than 60 years, Lego bricks (乐高) have sparked children’s imaginations. Now, a new version of these toys is in the works. They’re Lego Braille Bricks, and they’re being tested around the world.‎ Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That’s a system of writing in which letters are represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read it. ​‎ According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it’s estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille. Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small dots on the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these dots to learn Braille. ​‎ Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. For some schools and institutions, Braille Bricks will be free. Each will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet, the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols. ​‎ The Danish Association of the Blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don’t have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing,” Olesen said. “Audio is great. But it can never replace Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us in order to learn to spell correctly, write, and gain literacy like sighted people.” ​​‎ ‎28. Braille is .‎ A. a new toy for blind children. B. a new version of Lego bricks.‎ C. a writing system for blind people. D. a kind of book for blind people.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, Lego Braille Bricks are characterized by .‎ A. raised dots. B. numbers and math symbols.‎ C. Braille letters. D. printed letters.‎ ‎30. Through Lego Braille Bricks, blind children can learn about different ideas EXCEPT .‎ A. art. B. numbers. C. math symbols. D. English letters.‎ ‎31. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the article?‎ A. In the US, one in ten blind children learn Braille.‎ B. Lego will send Lego Braille Bricks to some schools for free.‎ C. Lego Braille Bricks will help more blind children learn Braille.‎ D. Many teachers are now teaching Braille with Lego Braille Bricks.‎ D An electric flying vehicle called Skai was on display yesterday near Los Angeles, California. Skai is made by Alaka’i Technologies. The vehicle has six rotors (旋翼) on top. Inside, there are seats for five passengers. To many people, Skai looks like a cross between a giant drone (无人机) and a car. Alaka’i Technologies hopes the vehicle will one day serve as a flying taxi, a cargo carrier, and an ambulance.‎ Other companies, such as Boeing and Airbus, are also designing electric aircraft. They are using batteries to power them. But batteries can weigh the vehicles down.‎ Skai uses hydrogen fuel cells to power its rotors. Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter alternative to batteries. They allow the vehicle to transport 1,000 pounds. They might also be less damaging to the environment. “It’s the cleanest form of energy on the planet,” Bruce Holmes told Digital Trends, a technology news website. Holmes is on the board of Alaka’i Technologies.‎ A test flight will take place near the company’s Massachusetts headquarters. But it may be years before the autonomous aircraft is cleared to carry passengers. Skai must first meet regulations. These regulations are set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).‎ ‎“The technology is interesting, but the regulatory (监管的) road will be very long,” Thaddeus Lightfoot said. Lightfoot is a lawyer. He helps companies deal with FAA rules.‎ Alaka’i Technologies is hopeful that Skai will get FAA approval to fly passengers soon. In the meantime, the company’s CEO, Stephen Hanvey, says the craft could be used to transport food and water. It could also serve as a mobile cell tower in places struck by natural disasters.‎ ‎32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “cross” in paragraph 1?‎ A. mixture. B. container. C. equipment. D. instrument.‎ ‎33. What can we infer about the pilotless flight of passenger vehicles?‎ A. It costs a lot. B. It saves energy.‎ C. It is not readily available now. D. It will soon get approved by FAA.‎ ‎34. What is the advantage of the Skai, compared with other electric aircraft?‎ A. It is quite light. ‎ B. It uses batteries.‎ C. It transports food and water. ‎ D. It lands autonomously.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Car with wings. ‎ B. Car of less weight.‎ C. Car with hydrogen fuel. ‎ D. Car in the sky.‎ 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。‎ We find comfort in nature. Spending time with grass and trees and birds, even through a window, makes us feel happier and more relaxed. One of the most exciting things about bird-watching is that birds are so mobile. 36 They migrate across the globe every spring and fall. You don’t have to identify the species, although there is a wealth of information available if you know a bird’s name. 37 I’m writing about bird-watching here, and here are 3 tips to get started:‎ Notice birds If you’re not already a bird-watcher, you probably don’t really notice birds, but they are around us all the time, even in a city. 38 One of the best ways to find birds is just to watch for ‎ movement, and then focus on that movement to see what’s happening (it’s often a bird). You will quickly learn where and how to look, and noticing birds will become second nature.‎ Listen Birds communicate by sound as well as by sight, just like we do. They make a lot of noise and their songs and calls all mean something. On the most basic level sounds can help you find birds by revealing their presence and telling you what direction to look. Just like seeing, 39 but once you start noticing these sounds you will hear them everywhere.‎ Watch for patterns Birds are creatures of habit. If you’ve seen a bird fly away carrying something, there’s a very good chance it will come back to gather more. Just wait. Building a nest takes several days, and young birds in the nest are fed for more than a week, so you might be able to come back the next day and watch more. 40 you might even find the nest. All of the variation in birds also follows patterns. It’s always satisfying to understand the broader patterns in nature.‎ A. it takes some focus and practice to hear birds,‎ B. Just taking the steps will lead to discoveries.‎ C. They fly around their home territory.‎ D. With a little practice you’ll be amazed at what you can see.‎ E. this is the best thing to focus on when you see an unfamiliar bird.‎ F. And if you track the bird along the path that it takes，‎ G. The most important thing is just to notice birds, slow down and really watch them.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 （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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I burst out laughing when I read the rejection letter (回绝信).

That is 61 English has so many difficult rules that make people 62 (confuse).‎ Old English consisted of a mixture of their languages. 63 from place names such as London, very few Celtic words became part of Old English. When we speak English today, we sometimes feel puzzled about which words or phrases to use. This is 64 English has many words and phrases from different languages, but with similar meanings.‎ Middle English is the name 65 (give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the development of this new type of English. The most important 66 (contribute) was from the Normans. However, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English replacing Celtic. It is interesting to learn how the words 67 animals and meat developed.‎ Modern English appeared during the Renaissance in the 16th century. Of course, this was not the end of the changes in the English language. The question of 68  English will keep on changing in the future is easy 69 (answer). 70 is certain is that this process will continue, and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节 满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ 2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ When I was little, Friday’s night was our family game night.
