In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few
hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional time in
Daniel’s life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my
lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He
asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 39 the steps of the
bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a
similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think
of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life.
Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times
have I let such moments 44 ? I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what they have
45 to me or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not
necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really
thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved
each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel
my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the
heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.
"Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That’s all I could say. He
hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was
saying something, but tears filled my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All
I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had
said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. However, it was 55 .

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why
many artworks—even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums—go missing.
Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.
Vincent Van Gogh's Poppy Flowers
This artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first
lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh
painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated (估 价) to be worth
something between $50 and $55 million.
Pablo Picasso's Le Pigeon Aux Petits
Stolen on May 20, 2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Museed’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other
artworks. However, the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught.
But that container was emptied before the authorities got there. It was feared that the painting
was already destroyed.
Paul Cezanne's View of Auvers Sur Oise
Lost on December 31, 1990, this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean
Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration. The thieves
planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations.
This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million.
Covert Flinck's Landscape with an Obelisk
Stolen on March 18, 1990, this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in
Boston. This painting by Covert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation.

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks,
Alaska, where adventure was never far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was
fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her
timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime. Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually
managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a
hotel. I had tried to light a barrel( 桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The
smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I came out, a crowd and the police were there to greet
me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were busy in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I
had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that
I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail (栏杆) at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well
because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize
what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I wrapped (包裹) heavily and well
sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when
Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former
neighbors of Alaska.
59. What can be inferred about the author's family?
A. His father was a cruel man.
B. His parents didn't love him.
C. His parents used to be very busy.
D. His mother didn't have any jobs.
60. What happened when the author was 4?
A. He learned to smoke.
B. He was locked in a basement.
C. He was arrested by the police.
D. He nearly caused a fire accident.
61. Which of the following is true?
A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C. Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
62. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To look back on his childhood with adventure.
B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
C. To express how much he missed Leonhard.
D. To show off his pride in making trouble.
C
Just picture your favorite Disney cartoon characters: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse,
Donald Duck, Goofy, Bugs Bunny, Pinocchio, etc. There’s an extremely high chance that a
whole host of Disney’s most popular cartoon characters share a common fashion choice—they
all wear a pair of white gloves. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney’s most
famous characters, putting gloves on animation（ 动 画 片 ）characters is actually a pretty
reasonable move.
The creation of hand-drawn cartoons is a difficult and tiring process. It takes time and
precision（ 精 确 度 ）to create the characters you know and love. At that time, animators
wanted to make their job a touch faster with a few techniques. One of these techniques was
using round edges（边）instead of angles（角）. So this also meant simplifying features,
such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.
Still, in the age of black and white cartoons, separating characters’ round-edged hands
from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In
fact, Walt Disney might have been the first to put gloves on his characters in The Opry House,
starring Mickey Mouse. When animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and all of
his friends still kept their signature white gloves.
Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told his biographer, Bob Thomas, that
the gloves were also designed to anthropomorphize the mouse. “We didn’t want him to have
mouse hands because he was supposed to be more connected with people,” Disney told Thomas
in 1957, according to The New York Times. “So we gave him gloves. Five fingers seemed like
too much on such a little figure, so we took away one.” All this nostalgic Disney talk makes us
want to go back and look at these 18 classic photos of Mickey Mouse.
63. Why did animators prefer round edges rather than angles?A. Round edges look better.
B. Round edges are easier to draw.
C. Round edges can be more popular.
D. Round edges seem more reasonable.
64. What does the underlined word “anthropomorphize” mean?
A. Humanize. B. Beautify. C. Modernize. D. Simplify.
65. What do we know about Mickey Mouse?
A. It first appeared in The Opry House.
B. It has only four fingers on each hand.
C. Its white gloves have its own signatures.
D. Its popularity was due to the black body.
66. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why Disney characters have little in common.
B. Why most Disney characters are so popular.
C. Why most Disney characters wear gloves.
D. Why Disney created its cartoon characters.
D
To stop the spread of COVID-19, many countries are practicing social distancing (社交隔
离). This means people should stay at home as much as possible, as well as stay at least 2
meters away from other people when in public, according to the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus. These
include studying online instead of going to school and canceling (取消) public activities.
Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing. In Australia, for example, people
who meet indoors must follow the “one person per four square meters” rule. This means that
if a room has an area of 40 square meters, there should be no more than ten people in the
room. In Singapore, people who don’t keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to
pay a fine of up to $10,000 (50,000 yuan) or up to six months in prison .
There are also some more creative rules. In Panama, for example, men and women must
leave their homes on different days, two hours at a time. In some Colombian towns, people can only go outside at certain times based on ( 基于) the last number of their national ID
number. For example, people with an ID number ending in 0, 7 or 4 can leave the house on
Monday, while those with an ID number ending 1, 8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday.
67. In Australia, only _____ people should be allowed in a 100-square-meter room.
A. 4 B. 10 C. 20 D. 25
68. In Singapore, people will be punished with _____ if they come within 1 meter of another
person.
A. six months in jail B. a fine of $50,000
C. ten months in jail D. a fine of $100,000
69. What do we know about social distancing?
A. It is a way of being polite.
B. It means that people must stay at home.
C. It can stop people from getting infected.
D. It refers to the same rules all over the world.
70. The story is mainly about _____.
A. why people should follow social distancing rules
B. social distancing rules in different places
C. which countries are using social distancing
D. how to stop COVID-19 infections

the plane. 74 . The best thing to do is to pretend to sleep.
Space invaders
