I have lived in both Mexico and the United States. I was born in the state of Michoacán. I was born in a small town called Quinceo. Life there was simple and peaceful. There was a small market where we would go on Sundays. There was a corral where we would go and watch rodeos. After school, my friends and I would go for a swim in a creek. My mom did not work; she stayed at home taking care of our family. Life in Quinceo was nice, but money was sometimes not enough to support us. In 1996, the day came when my dad decided to bring us to the United States. Leaving my town was hard, but it was important that my family stay together. When I left Mexico, I had a lot of special friends and nice teachers. When I first came to the United States, I started at a new school in Chicago. I found care and company at the school, among Hispanic people, my friends, and my teacher. She helped me all the time. My education now is different from the one in Mexico. Here, I am studying in two languages. I feel very happy because I am able to communicate in two languages. In my case, speaking Spanish is an indication of my Mexican heritage. Speaking English is a symbol of my triumph and the struggles that I have as an immigrant in this country. Now that I have been here three years, I am proud to offer my help and support to people who need it. I urge those who come from Mexico and other countries to learn English and to continue speaking their native language, too. It will help them reach out to others. 24. What does the writer think of Mexico? A. She doesn’t like it because it’s poor. B. She was too young to remember it. C. She loves the country and is proud of it. D. She wants to get rid of it so she left. 25. Why did the family move to the US? A. Because they were in need of more money. B. Because the mother found no peace in Quinceo. C.

A. explain how the author learns English well as a teen B. help people to understand American immigrants better C. introduce the life in her hometown Quinceo in Mexico D. persuade immigrants not to drop their mother tongue C In our youth-obsessed culture, one would assume that your self-esteem peaks in your 20s—but that’s not the case. Researchers from the University of Bern set out to determine when the average person’s self-esteem is the highest, and the good news is that your peak comes decades later. Researchers found that self-esteem increases throughout one’s lifetime, with a slight plateau during those awkward teen years. Our self-esteem levels then start rising again and don’t peak until well into midlife. The highest point for self-esteem level happened at age 60 when they can retire and stayed there until a slight decline in one’s 70s and 80s. This news that our self-esteem will continue to rise or stay steady during the majority of our lives is exciting. We often hear of increased stress in the decades of midlife, but there are upsides too. “Midlife is, for many adults, a time of high stability in relationships and work. Moreover, most people further invest in their roles, which might promote their self-esteem,” researcher Dr. Orth told the journalist. “For example, people take on managerial roles at work, maintain a satisfying relationship with their spouse or partner, and help their children become responsible and independent.” As we age and our roles tend to change, it’s natural for self-esteem to take a small hit. “Old age frequently involves loss of social roles as a result of retirement, the empty nest, and, possibly, widowhood. In addition, aging often leads to negative changes in other possible sources of self-esteem, such as socioeconomic status and health.” Dr. Orth said. However, it’s important to remember that it’s only a slight decrease. Dr. Orth believes that most people maintain a high self-esteem level even into their 90s and beyond. 28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “peak”? A. Minimum. B. Maximum. C. Average. D. Height. 29. Who is more likely to have the highest self-esteem level? A. A newly-retired person. B. A teenage boy. C. A person in his/her 80s. D. A middle-aged person. 30. What does Dr. Orth think of the decrease in self-esteem for the old people? A. It is destructive. B. It is unnatural. C. It is important. D. It is acceptable. 31. Where is the text most likely from? A. A travel guide. B. A science report. C. A novel. D. A business magazine.第 4 页 共 8 页 D The start of the U.S. Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer, meteorologists have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes. While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes — if any — will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities already struggling with the COVID-19. Experts say that the COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBM’s Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged with responding to the COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes. “When we look at a disaster... I think of it in terms of how we prepare for, respond to and recover from those types of events,” Talley said. “Right now we’re in the middle of the response of COVID-19. None of us are really sure how long it’s going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say, two months from now, six months from now, so on and so forth,” he said. According to Talley, the COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at crucial moments. Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come. 32. When will the first hurricane possibly arrive in US this summer? A. In about eight days. B. In about six months. C. In about two months. D. In more than two weeks. 33. According to Talley, how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane? A. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane. B. Rescue materials might not reach disaster areas sometimes. C. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury. D. The pandemic makes it harder to predict hurricanes. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home. B. The state governments are confident about tackling hurricanes. C. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders. D. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be Expected. B. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes Coming. C. COVID-19 to Worsen Hurricane Response. D. Social Distancing Needed in Coming Months. 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。第 5 页 共 8 页 Do you often go out for shopping? How to avoid germs when shopping in the grocery store? 36 . Firstly, go to the grocery store bright and early when they’re just opening. This might be your best option. By avoiding large groups of people, 37 , as the virus is mainly spread through close contact with other people. One of the easiest ways to spread the virus is by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth. 38 . This is a lot harder than it sounds, because people touch their faces more than 20 times in a single hour. While a mask can help prevent you from touching your mouth and nose, it is strongly recommended to wear one. 39 . This may be as simple as avoiding a crowded aisle and circling back a few minutes later. Since other shoppers might not be as mindful as you are about maintaining social distance, be polite in your request that they keep their distance with a polite “excuse me.” Just as you’re being thoughtful about your own health, be thoughtful about the health of others, suggests Dr. Larkin. “ 40 , see if you can shop for them or teach them to use an online and delivery option,” she says. “Be patient and kind with one another, especially the workers keeping the stores open and functioning—and of course, if you are ill, please stay home and don’t expose others.” A. you decrease your risk of becoming infected B. If you have an elderly neighbor who needs help C. you had better stay at home instead of going out D. As a result, avoid touching your face while shopping E. As a result, you should wear a mask when you go shopping F. Moreover, try to maintain a safe, six-foot distance from other shoppers G. Before you head out to one, you need some guidelines to ensure your safety 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 decades, humans have torn up the natural landscape in Asia, cutting down trees to build resorts (旅 游胜地) in the most beautiful locations and caging wild animals to attract tourists.

He wasn’t very smart, but he had a good heart. Roscoe’s owner left him chained up outside each day when he went to work. Roscoe liked being outside. He was always nice to everyone. He didn’t even bother the rat that lived in a nearby hole. A group of boys often passed Roscoe on their way to and from school. One day, one of the boys had a candy bar in his hand as he walked by. Roscoe jumped up when he smelled that candy bar. He tried to run over to the boy, but his chain stopped him short. The boys all laughed when they saw Roscoe pulling on his chain. The boy with the candy bar held it in front of Roscoe’s nose. He kept it just out of reach to tease him. All the boys laughed as Roscoe tried to reach the candy bar but couldn’t. From then on, those boys never passed Roscoe without doing something mean to him. Poor Roscoe was having a hard time and felt scared. The rat that lived in the alley had been watching. She understood that people were sometimes mean to animals for no good reason. She didn’t think it was nice. She decided to help Roscoe. When Roscoe went to sleep for his afternoon nap, she quietly sneaked over to him. She began chewing on Roscoe’s leather collar around his neck which the chain was connected to. She had chewed through more than half of it when she heard out voices down the alley. The rat raced back into her hole and saw that the boys were coming. Roscoe was awake now. When the boys saw him, they laughed and started throwing sticks at him. Roscoe was hit and he barked angrily at the boys with all his strength. This time when he got to the end of his chain, his collar broke off. He was free. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 75 左右； 2. 至少使用 3 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分为一段，开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线明确标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 2: The boys ran off as fast as they could, but one of them slipped and fell.__________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________
