The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left
me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend
4
three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.
I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51
years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter
how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of
“outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of
tea and a good book.
Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the
schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I’ve
never faced such a structured(高度组织化的) time since, well, when I went to camp
in Grade 9. I think of home.
The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone
asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a
Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes(股流)
of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count
down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water
temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever
be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining
hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My
unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.
At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit.
I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk
to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.
Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To
the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp
director a big hug.
24. How did the author feel before the camp?
A. Angry. B. Disappointed. C. Anxious. D. Excited.
25. Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?
A. To stress its liveliness. B. To explain its topic.
C. To introduce his preference. D. To show its similarity to camping.
26.Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?
A. He is fed up with making excuses.
B. He hates to be regret-stricken.
C. He desires to show off his swimming skills.
D. He is encouraged to do so by his colleagues.
27. What happened to the author at the end of the camp?
A. He has used up his energy.
B. He misses home very much.
C. He turns into a camp director.
D. He has become a camp lover.
C
Genealogy, or researching your family tree, is a hobby that can rapidly develop
into an obsession. Before you start looking for your own ancestors, read this advice
from genealogist Maria McLeod.
5
The first question to ask yourself is why you want to research your family tree.
Genealogy is not about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an
unknown kingdom. It’s about finding more about yourself. For most people the
important question is “Why am I like I am?” You might not look like other members
of your immediate family and you want to know where your green eyes or curly hair
come from. You may be curious about why you have such a quick temper. You may
even be suffering from a medical condition and want to know if something in your
genetic makeup has caused it.
Another common motivation for researching your family tree is that you plan to
visit the place that your ancestors came from and you secretly hope that you will find
some long lost cousins with whom you can share your memories. There can be few
more exciting things than meeting a distant cousin who is living on the other side of
the globe and finding that she looks just like your younger sister. But you should also
bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you.
Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family
are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.
Once you are clear about your motivations, you need to take a moment to think
about just how many ancestors you might have and how far back you intend to go.
You have, no doubt, thought about your parents’ parents and your parents’ parents’
parents. But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more
complicated. You can work it out for yourself. You may be descended(遗传) from no
fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. This can mean that you spend hours
going through official records, either in person at the records office or on the Internet.
Are you prepared for such a huge task?
28. What might be Maria Mcleod’s first piece of advice be?
A. Be prepared to accept your bad temper.
B. Don’t expect to find lovely relatives.
C. Be prepared to find out your hidden health problems.
D. Don’t expect to find out you are a member of a royal family.
29. Why are some relatives unwilling to meet you?
A. You may bring back bad memories.
B. They find it disturbing to entertain you.
C. They suspect you of having wrong motives.
D. You could remind them of their lost loved ones.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Who your great grandparents are.
B. When you can finish your huge task.
C. Why researching a family tree is complex.
D. How many people you are descended from.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Uncovering family secrets: do you dare?
B. The science of genealogy: new developments
C. Expert opinions on researching your family past
D. A step-by-step guide to researching your family tree

Now the reason cooking has become so popular, especially among men, is that
the kitchen is the new workshop. Deprived（剥夺）of the requirement to practice his
hands-on skills in wood or metal, the modern man turns to the chopping-board
worktop instead — previously this was more likely to be the woman’s area. It
involves tools, process and planning, and satisfies a natural desire to produce
something.
I like fooling about in the kitchen, to be honest. Last night, tired of too many
visits to over-priced restaurants, I tried to do something a bit clever with meats and
vegetables. It was all right, I suppose. I mean, my guest and I both ate it, but in a
slightly awkward sort of way. It was all a bit brown. More to the point, it took hours
and hours that could have been spent on something more constructive, such as
mending the cooker. There are also three dead motorcycles in the garage, and they’re
not going to repair themselves. I therefore recommend the “Strength Through
Simplicity” cooking style-the new stage of culinary( 烹 饪 的 ) progress shall be the
garage.
I’m hoping to introduce the idea of garage cooking in a new TV series and, as
usual, would welcome any suggestions; anything suitable for consumption by a man
who has one reasonably clean hand and one coated with machine oil he’d rather not
put near his face. This is not, in fact, without precedent(先例) I’ve been in a factory in
India where the workers baked breads on the tops of hot machines, and they somehow
tasted better for being a by-product of industrial effort.
Tonight I’ve had an oil change with a side of chain adjustment accompanied by
beans and sausages.
32.According to the author, why are men increasingly interested in cooking?
A. They find it more enjoyable than working in a workshop.
B. They now have fewer opportunities to create things.
C. It is now more socially acceptable for men to cook.
D. Women are generally spending less time cooking.
33.What does the author think of the meal he prepared last night?
A. He didn’t practice his cooking skill fully.
B. He should have used the restaurant recipe.
C. He could have used the cooking time better.
D. He didn’t receive any encouragement from his guest.
34. What does the author most probably do?
A. A media worker. B. A restaurant critic.
C. A cook. D. An engineer.
35. What does the author want to imply by using the example of India workers?
A. The wisdom of industrial workers has been overlooked.
B. Skills learnt in a factory can be applied in cooking a meal.
C. Food cooked in a garage tastes as delicious as that from a kitchen.
D. Meals have previously been prepared in unusual workplace settings.

Though it’s somewhat mysterious, sleep talking is a common phenomenon. 36 (and
less than 10% do it every day). And roughly 67% of adults talk in their sleep at least once
every three months. It often runs in families and tends to be more common among
men.
37 — ranging from mumbling（咕噜）to complete sentences. Sometimes it
may seem as though the sleep-talker is giving a speech, while at other times it can
sound as though the person is carrying on a conversation with someone else. The
chatter can occur during any stage of sleep.
If a friend or family member has ever told you that you talk in your sleep, your
first concern might be whether you said something offensive or let out a long-held
secret. 38 , as far as your health is concerned.
Sleep talking is considered a sleep disorder. In terms of what causes it,
inadequate sleep, alcohol or drug use, illness, stress, anxiety, and depression are
common causes of such unconscious thinking. 39 . In rare situations, sleep
talking is associated with a psychiatric disorder(精神障碍).
If you’re frequently waking up tired, or you feel overwhelmed or sad most of the
time, it's worth talking to your doctor about sleep talking. 40 . If you talk in your
sleep only occasionally and you are not experiencing symptoms of any other sleep
disorders or health conditions, then it's probably nothing to worry about.
A. It can be annoying to be a sleep-talker
B. Sleep talking can vary considerably in its content
C. About half of kids talk in their sleep at least once a year
D. Just make sure that it isn’t a red flag or another health problem
E. Therefore, for most people it is a rare and short-lived occurrence
F. Your second thought might be whether sleep talking is something to worry about
G.Sometimes this nighttime chatter accompanies other sleep disorders such as sleepwalking

When I was in the four grade, everyone knew that I was a best speller in the
class. I was so confident in my spelling abilities that I decided not study for my next
spelling test.
Everything in the test was OK until my English teacher says “Handkerchief”. I
forgot the last three letter. It occurred to me that my deskmate knew the word. My
eyes rolled to the right, and then went quickly back to her own paper. I remained
nervously because I had cheated. At the end of the test, I erased that I had written
earlier and replaced it for the wrong answer. Though I didn’t keep my perfect scores,
but at least I kept my honesty.

Dear students,
Welcome back to school! Over the past few months, the novel coronavirus has
made its way around China. It has such a strong impact on our life and study.
Although the virus has been under control temporarily, it is still necessary to call on
everybody to do a good job in personal protection.
First of all, wash you hands frequently and drink more water. When talking to
others, you ‘d better keep a safe distance and don’t take your face mask off, which is
beneficial to yourself and others. What’s more, avoid going to crowded places. If you
go to the dinning hall or the bathroom, it’s essential to obey the orders and line up.
Last but not the least , don’t believe rumors, don’t panic.
As a famous saying goes, “winter is coming, can spring far behind?”As long as
we work together to scientifically prevent and cut off the transmission channels, we
will be perfectly healthy. Let’s join hands and prepare for a promising future.
