第一部分：阅读理解 （共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节：（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Dear 17-year-old self,
When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the
future of your family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a no-brainer, but take some time
to think on it further.
I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE. Let me explain.
Purely giving material things to your siblings（兄弟姐妹）may appear to be the right
decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a
beautiful, comfortable life, right?
But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the
right thing, you were actually holding them back.
You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel
good, it made You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world—and that was
extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating
away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but taking
away the most precious gifts of all.
Invest in their future, don't just give.
Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own
dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and
help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and
dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.
I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't
have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning (断绝) them off the addiction that you
facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved,
including yourself.
As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and
their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache,
some of which remains to this day.
Much love,
Kobe

B
When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If
that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a
little discouraging.
But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at
that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel --
something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.
It’s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found
herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating -- all of this seemed to her the
work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling
people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This,
naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became
less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,” with much of the modern art
owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to
life.
In her autobiography（自传）, one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of
her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn’t constantly watched. The
expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open - ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle
that drove her to see what she could do.
Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that was either
completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started
working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn’t one moment
Duncan doubted her own genius.
There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its
whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora
Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.
4. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean?
A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.
B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.
C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.
D. Troubles it the fire of dancing in Duncan.
5. Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?
A. Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career. B. Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.
C. Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.
D. Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.
6. What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?
A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.
B. Everybody is a genius in his own way.
C. Miseries come from human stupidity.
D. Teachers can impact students greatly.
7. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Isadora Duncan’s childhood and her achievements today.
B. Duncan’s career development and other dancers’ opinions of her.
C. Isadora Duncan’s early experiences and the reasons for her success.
D. Duncan’s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.
C
Education officials and industry experts are debating the future of online learning. The
discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved
classes online because of the spread of the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒）.
For Asha Choksi, the rise of Internet-based or online study programs has led to major
improvements in higher education. “It’s actually given a lot more power to students in terms of
how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said.
Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to
communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school.
However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person
instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising （ 监 管 ） online learning
programs are not clear about the policies the schools have.
“Students see in-class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and
content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare
and teaching. Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with
the independent policy research group The Century Foundation. “Students need to
experience...what they’re learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom. And I
don’t know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that.”
“When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs,
they often do not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how
much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the teacher leading the
classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online
programs as a low cost opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person
classes get financial aid and online students do not.
8. What does Choksi think of the online study programs?
A. They offer students more choices in study.
B. They reform the country’s education system.
C. They provide advanced scientific knowledge.
D. They promote the development of technology.9. According to most college students and professors, what’s the advantage of in-person learning?
A. It is convenient.
B. It costs less to study.
C. It can better meet school policies.
D. It can improve students’ communication skills.
10. What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. change B. apply C. achieve D. control
11. What is Hall’s attitude towards online education?
A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Uncaring. D. Neutral.
D
Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to
support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the
survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to
the future of our planet — carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by
the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural
acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps
transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This
is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the
atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is
stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow
downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like
extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel
down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way,
which causes more warming.
Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of
plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the
chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon.
Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.
12. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?
A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks.
C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas.
13. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To show how important to life carbon is.
B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C. To show how a natural process is interrupted.
D. To explain how humans fight global warming.
14. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. We’d better move upstream to live.
B. We should protect plants along rivers.
C. We’d better seek more help from plants. D. We should be cautious about river management.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Humans Do with Rivers
B. How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts
C. What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us
D. How Living Downstream Affects the Earth

Dear Sir/Madam，
I am Li Hua, a high school student. I am extremely sorry to disturb you, but I
have to write a letter to convey my complaint and dissatisfaction. The novel
coronavirus epidemic is still tough and annoying. However, you can't imagine that a
small number of businesses are so mean as to sell the disposable surgical masks at an
unreasonable price. It is said that it can be five times as high as the normal price. My
classmates and I are burning with anger. I hope Consumers' Association can give
much attention to this. I'd appreciate it if you can cope with it as early as you can.
Yours
faithfully,
Li Hua
