It was rush hour in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her
nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the
wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment( 路堤) that ended in a
drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then
a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly.
The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall( 护墙),
balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it
over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an
experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”,
then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk(后备箱) to balance the weight as
the terrified kids in the back seat watched.
Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew Marco, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio 页 6 第
jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied
the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group
carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it
to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of
the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.
“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story. ”
24. What most probably caused the traffic accident?
A. The Mazda was overloaded. B. Sant was really speeding.
C. The wheel failed to work. D. The pickup cut in abruptly.
25. Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat?
A. To open the back door of the car. B. To fasten the rope to the truck.
C. To keep the balance of the car. D. To help the men get off the trunk.
26. What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The timely help offered by rescuers.
B. The excellent cooperation of all the people.
C. The dangerous position where the car stopped.
D. The serious danger the rescuers faced.
27. Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage?
A. Persistence will pay off. B. One in trouble, all to help.
C. Many hands make light work. D. Doing is better than saying.
C
The conclusion of the Paris Agreement in 2015, in which almost every nation was committed to reducing their
carbon emissions, was supposed to be a turning point in the fight against climate change. But many countries have 页 7 第
already fallen behind their goals. Meanwhile emissions worldwide continue to rise.
The only way to catch up is to aggressively pursue an approach that takes advantage of every possible strategy
to reduce emissions. Wind and solar energy are usually part of this effort, but it must also include investing heavily
in carbon capture, utilization(应用)and storage(CCUS)—a range of technologies that pull carbon dioxide from the
air, and transform it into useful materials or store it underground. Although CCUS has been opposed as too
expensive and unproved, recent gains have made it far more effective. Improvements such as chemical compounds
could drive the cost down from $100 per ton of captured carbon in 2016 to $ 20 per ton by 2025, according to a
2016 article in Science.
Three primary CCUS paths lead to the reduction of carbon emissions: retrofitting(改装)existing power plants;
reducing emissions in industries that cannot run on renewable energy; and directly removing carbon from the air.
Cutting emissions from existing electric power stations with CCUS could be made more appealing in a future with
a circular carbon economy, in which captured carbon could be resold and recycled for other uses—for instance,
serving as a raw material for making concrete or plastics.
The basic idea of carbon capture has faced a lot of opposition. Skepticism has come from climate change
deniers, who see it as a waste of money, and from passionate supporters of climate action, who fear that it would be
used to justify continued reliance on fossil fuels. Both groups are ignoring the recent advances and the opportunity
they present. By limiting investment in decarbonization, the world will miss a major avenue for reducing emissions
in a variety of industries. CCUS can also create jobs and profits from what was previously only a waste material by
creating a larger economy around carbon.
The transition to clean energy has become necessary. But that transition’s ability to achieve deep
decarbonization will become less effective without this wide range of solutions, which must include CCUS.
28. What can CCUS technologies do in reducing emissions?
A. Closing down existing power plants. B. Limiting investment in heavy industry.
C. Processing raw materials underground. D. Turning carbon dioxide into useful materials.
29. Why is it attractive to retrofit existing power plants with CCUS?
A. It can remove carbon directly from the air.
B. It can benefit the industry economically.页 8 第
C. It is the most affordable way to capture carbon.
D. It helps power plants produce concrete or plastics.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Fossil fuels will be no longer used in future.
B. Investing in decarbonization is a worthwhile project.
C. Climate change deniers believe in the necessity of decarbonization.
D. Little progress has been made in the fight against carbon emissions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Capture That Carbon
B. Let Carbon Go
C. Stand Firm with Energy Protection
D. Say Goodbye to Energy Crisis
D
Over the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive
cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which
should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is
really a competitive sport.
Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of
tumbling ( 翻 腾 ) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive
cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps,
tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air,
held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.
Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It
is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the
score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.
Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three
minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any 页 9 第
performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.
Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more
reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports
injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially
because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down
into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the
body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.
There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will
appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more
accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can
bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.
32. What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?
A. To compare skills of participants.
B. To make the audience feel amused.
C. To attract more people to watch events.
D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.
33. The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. examine B. combine C. identify D. replace
34. We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.
A. lacks necessary guidelines to follow
B. enjoys greater popularity than other sports
C. requires more designed actions than gymnastics
D. has a relatively high rate of damage to the body
35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?页 10 第
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B. C. D.

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。
Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend
Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do. But we all
make mistakes, so you’ll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize.
Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly. 36 . Whatever the reason is ，
apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.
37 . First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology，you take responsibility for
your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you. Second, an apology shows your sincerity as a friend.
38 , but that doesn’ t mean you still shouldn’ t apologize.
Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 39 , depending on what the offense was, where it was
done, and who you are apologizing to. In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their
attention, an acknowledgment of what happened, sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words
“I’m sorry” or “I apologize.”
Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility.
Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don’t think
you did. 40 , you should talk things through with your friends until you see why they are hurt or how you
came across. You’ll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend’s point of view.
A. When you make your apology in person页 11 第
B. If you really believe you did nothing wrong
C. Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways
D. The way you apologize is going to be slightly different
E. Or maybe you just didn’t show support when you needed to
F. Apologizing the right way, however, may take a little practice
G. Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong

that move, I 55 I’d stop collecting meaningless things. But 12 years later, here I am, still learning about
letting go.
We’ll all move someday from this 56 to the next, but we won’t need a truck to do it. We’ll take 57
with us and leave behind a(n) 58 of the life we lived, the mistakes we 59 , and all the love and kindness

One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I’m so glad to hear from you and know about what you are doing these days. I’m writing to tell you how our
schooling is now going on.
Actually, we are having e-learning at home, studying in the “classroom in the air” all the academic and
non-academic subjects. The holiday schedule runs from 8:00 am till 4: 30 pm on work day, with more and longer
breaks for rest than usual.
Personally, I’ve got used to online learning, which I think is a creative form of schooling, and also our own
way to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. I’ve come to realize how important computers and mobile phones have
become to us! But I really miss the days with my friends and teachers on campus. That’s why I pray for the end of
the epidemic every day, and I believe it’ll soon come.
Best wishes.页 17 第
