Solly hadn't always been so thin. He’d been out of work for a year, supporting an extended family. “ My wife says I must buy new clothes，”he said. “My church clothes are falling off me. But I told her. Don' t worry. I'll get fat again. Now I have a job." This news kept our family buzzing (低声谈话） through quite a few meal times. My kids announced they were going to bake for him every day. And so every evening my husband and children began delivering food to Solly. Just outside our gate, all down Jabu Ndlovu Street, as the day begins to fade, security guards take their places. They’re cheerful. And they sleep right through their shifts. No one expects a security guard to stay awake. That’s why the whole street knew Solly. He not only stayed awake, but also walked around to check the block, picked up litter, and knocked on doors and asked residents to turn their music down. Then one night, a car ran into a cyclist. Solly saw the crash. He saw the driver drive away. For two hours, Solly helped the rider, the police, and the ambulance personnel. The next day, some residents complained: Solly wasn't at the gate last night. Solly wasn’t doing his job. After the whole story came out, Solly kept his job. After a month, Solly was not getting any fatter. He lived far from the city. His taxi ride to work each day cost him one-third of his salary, so we got him a used bike. But he wouldn’t take it until he saved the money. A few weeks later, he fetched the bike, “My wife thinks I'm joking a bike for this price”, he said with a smile on his face. "I ll ride home and surprise her." I wondered if his wife would smile too. 24. Why did Solly’s wife think he needed new clothes? A. His clothes didn't suit him any more. B. He was getting fatter and fatter. C. His clothes were shabby. D. He didn’t like his old clothes any more. 25. What made Solly different from other guards? A. His skin color. B. His lovable character. C. His friendly manner. D. His hard work. 26. When did the author see Solly smile? A. After she told him a joke. B. When she gave him a free bike. C. After he got a cheap bike. D. When he knew he’d keep his job. 27. Which word can best describe the author’s family? A. Intelligent B. Kind-hearted C. Courageous D. Strong-minded C After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s，wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populatios-major food sources for the wolf- grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植 被 ), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers. As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. The hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 28.What is the text mainly about? A. Wildlife research in the United States. B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area. C. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park. D. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves. 29.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Tested. B. Separated. C. Forced out. D. Tracked down. 30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about? A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the park's income. C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals. 31. What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring. D For years now, economists have predicted a gradual move to what is called a “cashless society”. Most payments are already made by putting a plastic card into a machine and entering a PIN code（个人密码), or by simply waving the card in front of the machine. But is a “cashless society” something we should look forward to? Well, for one thing cash is expensive. We often pay fees when we use cash machines -people in the UK together pay almost $6 million a month in cash-machine fees. Cash also spreads disease. Dr Peter Ender, who carried out a study looking at the bacteria on one-dollar bills, claims that"paper money is usually full of bacteria and a dollar bill could, theoretically, be the magic carpet it rides on from one host to another. And of course, there’s always a record of digital money, so it makes it harder for people to steal it.第 3 页 共 4 页 However, some psychologists argue that waving your card in front of a machine doesn’t give us a real sense of paying. Likewise, when we make one click with our mouse when shopping online, it’s easy to forget that the credit card bill will arrive at the end of the month. Basically, with a credit card, we don't feel the"pain of paying”. In a cashless society, we tend to buy more than we need to, because it’s easier to spend and the consequences of our spending are more remote from us. And it's certainly still possible and even easier to cheat and steal in a cashless society. In a psychological test, people were twice as likely not to forgo a dishonest digital payment as a dishonest cash payment. Once again, psychologists suggest that the sense of being remote from payment in a cashless society increased the likelihood of dishonesty. handle hitting a brick wall，it will get easier to deal with the next time around． A. Ask for help． B. Don't give up． C. No one wants to live with regrets． D. No one can do everything all at once． While we might laugh at the idea of our grandparents with money hidden under the mattres（s 床垫）, maybe the joke is on us. E. So stop thinking about it，and just do it． Without doubt，it is a world where we feel distanced from the consequences of the purchases we make. So perhaps we’re more efficient in our cashless society, but are we any happier? 32. What can we infer from Dr. Peter Ender’s claim? A. Cash is full of magic. B. Cash is irreplaceable. C. Cash is extremely dirty. D. Cash is expensive to produce. 33. What will happen when people use credit cards according to psychologists? A. They will become more honest. B. They will spend more unwisely. C. They will be in pain on the bill's arrival. D. They will feel distanced from their real life. 34. What does the underlined word “forgo” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Make B. Afford C. Ignore D .Reject 35. What does the text mainly discuss? A. What can cash bring to us? B. Is it time to give up on cash? C. Is it possible to keep our cash safe? D. Why do we live in a cashless society? 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel like you've got a great idea，one that makes you feel incredibly inspired and want to change the world? 36 Fortunately, you’re not alone． Because we'll be like this throughout our life ． So take a deep breath ， and try these techniques： ● Start small.

Recently, a new trend--seeking praise from strangers--has gone popular on social media among China’s young people. Many chat groups 62 (form) to show kindness and support to members. These “in-need-of-praise” chat groups are 63 reflection of Chinese culture where 64 (open) seeking and giving praise is uncommon, 65 (lead) many people to hide their true emotions even from their families. For young people, gaining recognition from peers is more important than getting approval from older generations. They can feel a sense of belonging and gain encouragement, 66 is beneficial to their mental health. As long as people’s praise doesn’t sound 67 (sincere), we are likely to welcome it. Being richly recognized for what we do or who we are just feels good. Most of us like praises, 68 they can raise our spirits, warm our hearts and decrease fears and self-doubt.

Well acquainted that you are collecting suggestion regarding fighting against disease. Deeply concerned with it, I am writing to convey my personal opinions. With the new term drawing near, it's time we took actions. First, to ensure the sanitation and safety of public places in our school, especially a boarding one, it will make an enormous difference if our school sheds light on sterilizing classrooms, dorms and canteens once a day. Besides, in terms of hygiene, it is highly recommended that everyone wear facial masks in the classroom during the first week of school in order to cut off the transmission of the virus. Furthermore, abundant time for sports and rest is expected to be guaranteed, so as to equip ourselves with a strong immunity. Under no circumstances should we turn a blind eye to building up our body. Last but not lest, when it comes to scheduling, it is worth of making proper use of Saturday mornings to make up for the delayed lessons. Also, considering the current situation, it will help if the amount of homework is reduced accordingly, thus making it easier for us to enhance the efficiency of learning. Only when we make concerted efforts in confronting the erupted diseases hear and soul can we conquer the formidable challenges of saving our homeland. I would really appreciate it if you take my suggestions into favourable consideration.
