Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t
much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles, wood
smoke and snow---these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different
seasons, wintry weather brings its own set of olfactory(嗅觉的) experiences. But why does the
cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer?
One reason is that odor (气味) molecules move much more slowly as the air temperature
drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in
Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than
there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold
soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer
days.
What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said.
In experiments that require biopsies(活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the
nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.”
There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell, Hirsch added, and what we
expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell. In The Invalid’s Story by Mark
Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting dead body but
is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell,
he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends
up killing him. “What you think of a smell have powerful effects on you whether you like it
and whatever you think it to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used
to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you
will interpret smells to be.”
To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant
smell, cook more sweet stews(炖菜) and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast
between the indoor and outdoor environments. “You’re probably fond of indoor smells in the
winter,” Dalton said. “Homes are closed up, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the
smells of cooking and living.”
23. According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that _________.
A. air temperature affects smells’ spreading direction greatly
B. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup
C. there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter
D. a garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter
24. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that _________.
A. one can easily feel terrible smell in a small space
B. one’s mind and thoughts can affect the sense of smell
C. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air
D. one’s opinion on smell is quite different from others
25. Which of the following is NOT the measure people take to deal with lack of smells in
winter?
A. Closing doors and windows B. Cooking stews
C. Burning candles D. Baking cookies
C
He looked like a pirate.
With his handkerchief tied in a knot behind his little nine-year-old head, he looked like a
pirate, a sad pirate. The first time little David came to our camp, he was hairless and worn out
from medical treatments. He was also very angry.
Paul Newman's camp counselors (指导老师) were hoping to fill David's days with fun and
laughter. But David stayed inside himself, wanting to be alone, or in a corner of the cabin. At this
camp for children with life-threatening illnesses, we had seen some pretty tough children worn
out by cancer recover full of energy despite their illness. But we saw little progress in David no
matter what we tried with him. Five days into the eight-day session saw a quiet, sad little pirate.Then something happened on that fifth night. Something at camp that we would call "huge".
It was cabin night. That's the time when campers and counselors spend time together in each
individual cabin instead of an all-camp activity. Campers love cabin nights because there's
always a bedtime snack. On the cabin table that night were bags of potato chips.
David slowly walked over to the table, leaving his comer to join the rest of us. He took one
of the bags of the potato chips and started smashing(弄碎) it with his little fists, as all the other
campers looked on in disbelief, I wondered what the cabin counselor would do.
The college-age volunteer counselor positioned a bag of chips on die table in front of
himself, and he, too, started smashing it with his fist. The campers went crazy as everyone ran to
the table to get in on the fun of smashing potato chips with their fists.
Somehow everyone knew, everyone sensed, that anger within him was now being released.
For the last couple days of the session, David was a different kid. He was a little
nine-year-old boy again, trying to fill the hours of each remaining day at camp with as much fun
as could be possible.
Several days after the session, David came back again. This time, there wasn't anything he
wouldn't try to fit in to his day. He sure was having a great time at camp. David asked me if I
needed an altar(祭坛)boy when I celebrated Mass in the woods. Sure enough, he was my altar
boy. I remembered how carefully he listened to me when I talked about death. 1 said it's only a
doorway. You walk through the door and there's the Lord God and behind God a whole line of
people waiting to hug you.
After Mass, he said to me, "Hey Fatha, a door, huh?"
A couple more days of fun passed and tonight was the talent show. The tradition is that
campers and counselors dress up in costumes, and everyone gets a standing applause for singing
and dancing or simply just acting like fools on stage.
The show had begun: lights, camera, action.
Unfortunately, the only action taking place in our row of seats was little David making his
way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp. He had become quite ill and
had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis.
When this little nine-year-old pirate stood in front of me, he gave me a hug and a big wet
kiss on my cheek. 1 was crying. He was crying. A whole row of counselors was in tears. After
the hug and kiss, he put his hands on my shoulders, and tears still in his eyes, said: "See you on
the other side of the door, Fatha."
26. The camp counselors failed to fill David's beginning days with fun and laughter, mainly
because David_____.
A. remained in a bad mood
B. behaved like a pirate
C. was left alone at the camp
D. was teased by other campers
27. Seeing David smashing the potato chips, the counselor did the same thing in response because he _____.
A. would like David to eat more of them
B. hoped all the other campers would join
C. found it possible to help David release anger
D. wanted to show that he was as angry as David
28. What can we learn from this article?
A. The camp was intended for those talented in singing and dancing.
B. The purpose of the camp was to give diseased children caring love.
C. The camp was popular among the children who enjoyed their vacation here.
D. Medical treatment could be provided to diseased children at the camp.
29. Which of the following does NOT show the change in David?
A. David came back to the camp for a second session after the first ended.
B. David made his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp.
C. David had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis.
D. David stood in front of me and gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek.
30. What do you think the theme of the story is?
A. Children with deadly diseases are usually difficult to get along with.
B. People should have patience with children with life-threatening illnesses.
C. People should tell children with life-threatening illnesses to care nothing about death.
D. Love and proper guidance can help people look at something negative in a positive way.

If you thought the toilet paper shortage was bad, just wait. Meat may be next in America.
__31__, John H. Tyson, chairman of the board of Tyson Foods, warned that the
COVID-19 pandemic is forcing the company to shut all the stores across the country.
“This means one thing,” he wrote. “ 32 _ As pork, beef, and chicken plants are being
forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from
the supply chain.”
The ripple effect will make its way to consumers, Tyson noted, as “There will be limited
supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that
are currently closed.”
The Tyson plant in Waterloo, Iowa, was one that closed, having been linked to 182 cases of
the coronavirus, which is nearly half the entire county's total. In addition to that facility, pork
processing plants for Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and JBS in Worthington,
Minnesota, also closed indefinitely earlier this April. 33 __
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported record-high red meat, beef, and pork
production in March. However, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers
International Union, representatives of more than 250,000 industry workers, slaughter(屠宰)
capacity is trending down 25% for pork and 10% for beef as 13 plants have closed. 34 In a report, Julie Niederhoff, an associate professor of supply chain management at Syracuse
University, was optimistic. “We’re not going to run out of food. 35_”
Also, Niederhoff claimed that the state of the food chain remains enough, despite shortage of
a particular brand or type of food.
A. Demand from consumers is rising as many are sheltering at home.
B. The food supply chain is fragile.
C. The government will take some measures.
D. Because some of its 100,000 workers have fallen ill.
E. The COVID-19 pandemic is very serious.
F. These three plants make up about 15% of pork production in the U.S..
G. We’re going to run out of maybe your one particular favorite food.

In our societies, we used the word “success” a lot. And we think we know just what it means:
money, status, fame, and power. But take a look at the 36 , and things start to look,
thankfully, a lot more 37 , because success is, in truth, rather more neutral and 38
subjective than we tend to assume.
It just means doing anything well, expert at something, and that might include a lot of
different 39 : running 100 meters, for sure, selling your app for a lot of money, but also
strangers, like, listening a lot very 40 to a child, or being extremely 41 to strangers, or
filling your mind with 42 ideas and associations, or knowing just when to put an arm 43
someone when it’s too much for him. People who triumph here are 44 big success stories.
45 , if you want to do great work, it’s going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you’re
going to have to 46 out of your comfort zone and take some 47 that will scare you so
much. But, to some degree, what’s the 48 of life if not finding yourself and trying to
become the best?
As we know, 49 can be successful at everything; whatever they tell us, it’s almost 50
to succeed with a career and a family, or with popularity and integrity. There are always
51 .Just as a business concept called opportunity cost explains, when you choose one course
of action, you 52 all the other opportunities you might have chosen to 53 ,but didn’t.
It’s great to be successful. It’s even better to make sure you followed your own 54 and
not necessarily always obvious path to the success that can truly 55 you.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sally had anxiety disorder trouble that made her fail to speak in social situations. I’m a
nurse and use Bella to help children in my community, to bring them comfort and confidence
the way only a dog can. I thought back to the day when I’d first brought Bella to the school.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her
home in two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has
worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she
noticed my dog.
“This is Bella,”I said, “She does tricks. Would you like to see?”
Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally’s eyes
lit up. I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural with Bella,
maybe because she couldn’t rely on the spoken word herself. Bella sensed that and responded.
Soon Sally was able to put Bella through her paces all on her own. I could see her standing
taller, more sure of herself each time we met.
One morning in March when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a
whisper, “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally
spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later,she started giving
voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose.
Now, five-year-old Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class,with Bella, my
trained dog, sitting calmly by her side. All the eyes of her classmates were focused on Sally.
They were waiting for her to speak. It was June—only one week of school left—but they had
的never heard her voice. Not once.

书面表达：
Dear fellow students,
Some time ago, many students took online classes due to the epidemic situation ,suffering from poor eyesight . Thus, I’m advocating “Protect Our Eyes”.
Eyes are the window to the soul. Having good eyesight means we can not only see things
clearly but also appreciate beautiful scenes better. Anyway, only when we form a good habit of
protecting eyes, such as doing regular eye-exercises and reading in right light, can we really
enjoy our life.
See well, live well. So don’t hesitate to act at once!
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her
class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her
eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. But
then her whole body seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head
down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.
Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with
determination.“Are you sure?” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next year?”“No,” she
said,“Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a
circle on the floor listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s
hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally
she whispered,“This is Bella.” Then a little louder with more confidence.“Bella.”

M: Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog. Here is the message I promised you. Last weekend we
were taken around London in a bus. It was fantastic. I saw Big Ben and the Houses of
Parliament, the lions in Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. I liked the
Tower of London best because it is a thousand years old. They say there are lots of ghosts
walking around but I didn’t see any! We also went to see all the famous people made of wax
（蜡）at Madame Tussauds（杜莎夫人蜡像馆）.That was good fun. Jean Louis took a
photograph of me standing next to Queen Elizabeth the Second.
Tomorrow we’re going to Stratford on Avon where Shakespeare was born. And we’re going to
see one of his plays. It’s called Hamlet. There are three theaters in Stratford and we are going
to see it in the Royal Shakespeare Theater. Our teacher told us the houses in Stratford are about
five hundred years old and the countryside is beautiful, so I’ll take lots of photos to show you.
