Together, we’ve gone through both tears and happiness.‎ About 12 years ago, I got to know it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!‎ By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible situation. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.‎ A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.‎ That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(⽤ 松⾹擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.‎ My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.‎ My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?‎ ‎21. What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?‎ A. Orders from mum. B. Boredom of practice.‎ C. Loss of passion for violin. D. Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.‎ ‎22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ A. The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music. B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.‎ C. The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat. D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.‎ ‎23. Why did the author pick up the violin again? A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.‎ B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude. ‎ C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion. D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.‎ ‎24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Deep love for music B. My dislike and like of violin C. An inspiring story of violin D. Musical soul mate—violin B Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you had not planned to buy. But hunger is not the only culprit behind such purchases. The location of store displays also influences our shopping and may make or break some healthy eating habits.‎ The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks-and a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier choices can shift customer behavior. A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example, in 2014 Norwegain and Icelandic researcher likewise found that replacing unhealthy items with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minutes sales of healthier foods.‎ These findings caught the attention of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to stock and promote consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department. “Making healthy food more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”‎ Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s dense urban checkout areas, so they recruited three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. They gave one checkout line in each store a healthy makeover, replacing candy, cookies and other processed snacks with fruit , nuts and similar items containing 200 or fewer calories per serving. Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.‎ Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 precent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious items more than twice as often as those in the standard lines –and they bought unhealthy items 40 percent less often. The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.‎ The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calories foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy choices at checkout areas throughout New York City.‎ ‎25. The word “ culprit” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to in the passage. A. something to blame B. something related to culture C. something that results D. something concealed ‎26. The findings of the 2012 study and the 2014 study proved that . A. shops put great emphasis on increase in last-minute sales of food.‎ B. healthier choices were rarely seen in company canteens or in supermarket. ‎ C. customers’ shopping behavior could be changed by what is easily available.‎ D. sugary and salty snacks were among the most common items in checkout areas.‎ ‎27. Why does the writer say “ the potential influence may seem small” in the last paragraph?‎ A. Only a little attention has been drawn to Adjoian’s research B. Only several healthy items are displayed and then purchased.‎ C. Only three Bronx supermarkets have been involved in the study.‎ D. Only a small proportion (部分) of shoppers buy things from checkout areas.‎ C Spotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem’s Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber’s What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.‎ Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.‎ Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don’t think that they are working with consulting firms to serve you relevant ads while you’re listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.‎ You can see where this could go, can’t you? As ad targeting gets even more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I’m feeling a little down about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.‎ ‎28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?‎ A. To introduce a new song. B. To draw readers’ attention.‎ C. To help more patients. D. To promote a new form of media.‎ ‎29. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to .‎ A. provide services for the government B. work with consulting firms C. get listeners’ personal information D. help businessmen attract consumers ‎30. Who is the text probably designed for?‎ A. Internet users. B. Officials. C. Researchers. D. Managers.‎ 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。‎ The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs 31 . Some people are compulsive(难以⾃制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games .‎ ‎ 32 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them.They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy what they don't need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.‎ The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely. 33 Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.‎ ‎ 34 Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer much. It can also cause financial problems. They can just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. 35 ‎ A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs , it’s difficult to get rid of. B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.‎ C. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.‎ D. However, in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.‎ E. People addicted to computer games consider playing games as a great way to amuse themselves.‎ F. They get deep in debt, and can even go bankrupt(破产的）and get sent to prison.‎ G. Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems.‎ 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。‎ For most people, a family member would be their inspiration.

Jack had sold everything he had, and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel. A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack, it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help. “I have only one choice left,” Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank, his workplace, again. For several days, he observed the bank and planned a theft. Then next day, he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal:he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger clerks and the guards had all gone home. However, at that moment,Jack was in the bathroom, and the guards didn’t notice him, of course.When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark, Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase. He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past ‎30 days. Using a special key and some other tools, he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank’s security system wasn’t very good, which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later, Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.‎ 注意:1.所续写短⽂的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2.应使⽤5个以上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:‎ After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring.‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————————‎ Paragraph 2:‎ But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man.‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————‎ ‎—————————————————————————————————————‎ 期中考试参考答案 听⼒:1—5 ACACB 6-10 BBABA 11-15 BACAA 16-20 BCBCC 阅读: 21-24 DACD 25-27 ACD 28-30 BDA 七选五: 31-35: DBCGF 完形填空:‎ ‎36-40: DCBCA 41-45: BDCAB 46-50: ADCCD 51-55: BABAD 语法填空: 56. biggest 57. an 58. within 59. that 60. surrounded 61. extremely 62. measuring 63. to cross 64. leaves 65. impressive 应⽤⽂写作: Dear classmates:‎ Since the outbreak of COVID, we have had online learning for two months.‎ We have lessons on weekdays and the major subjects are divided into two periods. The former half is the formal lectures and the latter is consulting of the puzzles. In my opinion, the arrangement of the schedule is quite reasonable. All the teachers are devoted and managed to give us lively and dynamic lessons. We can look through videos, Internet pages and the teachers’ demonstrations made by themselves.‎ Online learning is quite a different experience from the classroom study. It will save us from the bother to and from school and it is comfortable sitting in front of the computer, receiving education. In addition, the display of the courseware(课 件)enables us to have a clear understanding of the given lessons. However, it is a pity that we don’t have much interaction with the teachers. Besides, we miss our beloved teachers since we can hear their voices but can not see their images. I sincerely hope that we will have face to face lectures soon after we win the campaign against the terrible COVID.‎ 读后续写:‎ Paragraph 1:‎ After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly, only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town, which was filled with newspapers and TV reporters covering the strange theft. The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case, of course, including Jack. The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible, even though no clues had been found yet.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position. At last, with enough money for her operation, Jack’s wife was saved. However, Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank. He could not forget what he had done to the old man. His guilt deepened as time went by. Finally, he turned himself into the police and accepted his punishment.‎
