The Top 4 Beaches on the East Coast
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Great point, at the easternmost end of the island of Nantucket, is one of the most secret beaches
in the world. That’s because you need a four-wheel drive vehicle and a beach permit to get there.
Once you do, you’ll find miles of beachfront and a historic lighthouse.
Block Island, Rhode Island
Accessible by ferry, Block Island oozes New England charm. It’s worth the effort to get to
Mohegan Bluffs, where you can experience a set of 141 wooden steps leading down to the sand.
With clay cliffs and a view that reaches Montauk at the eastern tip of Long Island, this beach is
especially unique.
East Hampton, New York
Named the best beach in the county in 2013, Main Beach in East Hampton is known for its
wide stretch of sand plus a snack bar, bathrooms, and lockers. On-site parking is only available to
village residents but there are free beach shuttles available.
Jekyll Island, Georgia
Located off the coast of Georgia, this 5,700-acre barrier island is famous for its nesting sea
turtles and hermit crabs. Glory Beach got its name because producers of the 1989 movie Glory,
featuring Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington, built a long boardwalk to
the beach that remains in place.
21. Which has one of the most private beaches in the world?
A. Jekyll Island, Georgia. B. Block Island, Rhode Island.

A. Climbing the clay cliffs.
B. Experiencing the warm sand.

For Matt and Dani Fontanesi, everything was going according to plan. The American
newlyweds had just been married in February and were preparing for their honeymoon. They would
leave their home in New Zealand to set off on a tour of the United States.Matt developed a bit of a cold before leaving but didn’t think much of it. During the first
14-hour leg of their flight, though,Matt’ s simple cold developed into a high fever. When they got to
Idaho,he felt even worse. As three days passed and Matt stayed in bed, Dani took him to the hospital.
When the doctor came back with the blood test results, his lighthearted attitude from earlier had
noticeably changed. The patient’ s white blood cells were dangerously low. It was either AIDS or
cancer.
Three days later, the news came: acute myeloid leukemia (急性骨髓性白血病). About 90
percent of Matt’s blood was cancerous, so he’d have to start chemotherapy (化疗) right away. There
was a catch 一 treatment would mean Matt could never have kids. Even knowing their chances of
starting a family were gone, they had no choice but to continue.
Chemotherapy clearly was not enough, so Matt needed a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植).
His sister was the perfect match, and they flew to San Diego for the treatment. The bone marrow
transplant destroyed what was left of Matt’s immune system and got rid of the cancer.
In the middle of Matt’ s fight against cancer,they received all $80,000 they needed within about
a week, much of it from complete strangers.
The treatment went better than expected, and a year later, Matt was already back at work in San
Diego. But he and his wife have never stopped thinking about the unexpected generosity that came
their way. “How do we responsibly accept this?” says Matt. “We recognized we needed to pay this
forward and to help fight against leukemia.” The two have been volunteering with the Leukemia
&Lymphoma Society, supporting other families going through similar struggles.
“We have a new appreciation for life. Our lives are richer now because of it,”says Dani.
24. What can we learn about Matt after he arrived at Idaho?
A. He started his honeymoon happily. B. He prepared to go back home.
C. He was terribly weak. D. He caught a cold.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 3?
A. Failure. B. Chance. C. Solution. D. Disadvantage.
26. What can we infer about Matt’s treatment?
A. It was successful. B. It was impractical.
C. It was kept secret from his families. D. It was mostly supported by an organization.
27. How did Matt’ s experience influence him?
A. He managed to become a doctor.
B. He decided to help others in return.
C. He started to found a charity for poor patients.
D.He promised to give the money back to the strangers.

Chicago’s Open Books — a 13-year-old organization — tries to put books into every child’s
hands citywide, starting at birth. The group, which sells donated books online to raise money for its
programs, has teamed with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to expand its reach to children who
most need libraries of their own. In just a few months, Open Books has accepted nearly 1,000 children into the program. The process behind the Imagination Library is simple. Parents fill out a
form to sign up their children to have a free book mailed to each child every month, from birth to
age 5.
This means a child can receive up to 60 books, chosen by a group of early education experts,
before he or she enters kindergarten. “Our job is to get children served, and to raise money so that
we’re paying the cost of the books and they remain free to parents,”said Eric Johnson, Open Books’
director. That’s one reason Open Books chose to team up with the Imagination Library — because
Parton has the ability to get high-quality books at the lowest cost, Johnson said.
The imagination Library has started in the underserved and low-income neighborhoods of
Austin, Garfield Park, Little Village and North Lawndale. Parents in those neighborhoods can sign
up their children now. Open Books will continue to expand the Imagination Library to other
neighborhoods soon, so other Chicagoans should be patient.
Studies show that a home-based library can lead to a child’s school success — and on average a
middle-class family has about 13 books for each child, Johnson said. Yet, in Chicago and
nationwide, more than 60 percent of low-income households have no children’s books. “That’s an
important difference, since a child’s greatest brain growth takes place from birth to age 5, and by age
3, almost 85 percent of a child’s brain is already formed,” Johnson said. “The possibility to get kids
‘kindergarten ready’ is endless.”
28. What does Open Books do for children under 5?
A. It encourages them to visit libraries. B.It builds some kindergartens for them.
C.It mails them each a free book monthly. D.It gives them money for books monthly.
29. Who decide on the books given to children?
A. The director of Open Books. B.Experts in early education.
C.Children themselves. D.Children’s parents.
30. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. Every family should have a home-based library.
B. Each child should finish 13 books before kindergarten.
C. More attention should be paid to early children’s mental development.
D. Children should be well prepared for kindergarten as early as possible.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show his love of children’s books.
B. To introduce an Open Books program.
C. To share his childhood reading experience.
D. To advertise Parton’s Imagination Library.
D
As pet ownership booms, a troubling question raises its head: who owns whom?
There is a range of theories about how human came to rule the planet. Opposable thumbs, brain
size, altruism(利他主义) and cooking all played a part, but central to the man’s success was its
ability to dominate other species. As humanity has got richer, animals’ roles have changed. People need their services less than
before. Fewer wolves and burglars meant less demand for dogs for protection; the gasoline engine
made horses redundant; modern health systems kept rats in check and made cats less useful. No
longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to become common when
household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more
and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the leftovers that fall
from their masters’ tables. Pet-food shelves are filled with delicacies, including ice cream for dogs
and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion.
In the business this is called “pet humanisation(人类化)”—the tendency of pet owners to treat
their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from
Fido, Rex and Spot to—in America—Bella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for
pet clothing, pet grooming(美容) and pet hotels.
People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making
people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests
that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy-dog eyes” precisely to dominate human emotions. It
has worked. Sentimental Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat’s
“mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “housekeeper”,
catering to every cute action. Watch a dog-walker trailing “his” dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up
its mess, and you have to wonder: who’s in charge now?
32. What is the main cause for human being to become the ruler of the planet?
A. having opposable thumbs B. getting wealthier
C. possessing altruism and cooking skills D. taking hold of other species
33. What does the underlined word “redundant” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. unnecessary B. unavailable C. uncertain D. unfavorable
34. What might pet owners do in the past?
A. feed ice cream to their dogs B. prepare foods for pets that are diabetic
C. feed the pets on what remained D. spend much money on pets
35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Wolves used to be in great demand.
B. Pets can be beneficial to people’s health.
C. Pet owners tend to give their pets new names.
D. People become subject to pets emotionally.

It’s Alarming: What Wakes You Up Each Morning?
How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds
like this:beep beep beep? 36 Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess (昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping,
37 A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a
melody –- like the beginning of this song –- can help people feel fresher in the morning.
The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects
answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound
and how they feel when they wake up. 38 However, it is early days and more work is needed to
fully know the answer.
So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be
more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a
"beeping" alarm. 39
And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be. 40 However, no
matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.
A. Can musical alarms work wonders?
B. So, is there a better way to do the trick?
C. This can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.
D. Alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum (哼唱) or sing along with may be good choices.
E. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake
and alert.
F. The changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when
waking from sleep.
G. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the
morning known as grogginess.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there 61 (be) a lot of discussion about self-isolation
and staying at home, in 62 “cabin fever” is frequently mentioned.
Cabin fever is the reaction to getting 63 (trap) in a building for too long. This
expression 64 (probable) comes from people being stuck due to extreme weather
conditions in a small wooden house known as a cabin, which is often found on mountains. It’s a
really serious thing, and it can cause people to suffer from sadness and 65 (anxious). They
may also lack concentration and get a strong desire for food, which in turn may lead 66
weight changes.
To cope with this, the first thing experts say is to set regular meal times---- much like your
normal routine. Also, compared with television, reading a book or doing things like puzzles or
crosswords can energize your mind and keep it 67 (active)than the former one can do .
Moreover, a call should 68 (make) to ensure your friends and family are ok if they are in 69 same situation. Finally, set a goal to achieve in your day to keep you focused. You could
even make weekly goals, 70 (depend) on how long your isolation will be for.

Rain is great importance to us. Without rain, our water supply would be cut off and we would
die, so will plants and animals. Therefore, too much rain does a lot of harm to us. It floods fields,
towns and cities, causes us great losses. So far man’s control over rain had never ceased. If they can
gain more effective control over rain, we will enjoy more free from nature. Fortunate, we human
beings have taken steps, such as planting more trees and using weather forecasts, it helps avoid flood
damage and protect our water supply. I am greatly convinced that only if we join the hands to fight
our common enemy can we live a rosy life.

Cuisine enjoys a long history and has many nutritional benefits. Originating from the various regions

Shangdong Cuisine, Jiangsu Cuisine and Sichuan Cuisine, each having widely spread around the
world. To make you quicker to cook some Chinese dishes, I will introduce you to a famed chef, Mr.

Skyscrapers have become very common in Europe. Cities such as Frankfort, Madrid, Valencia,
Malmo and Paris, all have very tall buildings under construction. However, the center of the world
for skyscrapers is neither Europe nor America. The tallest buildings in the world are being built in
Asia and the Middle East. At more than 500 meters tall, the tallest building in the world is Taipei
101 in Taipei, Taiwan. However, when completed in 2008, the Burj Dubai in the United Arab
Emirates will rise 162 stories and more than 800 meters. Another building in Dubai is planned to be
over 1, 200meters tall. That’s about three times as tall as the Empire State Building. Skyscrapers are
part of our future for many reasons. For one, they require less land to build and use less electricity
and other resources. Plus, people who live in cities with high rises are less likely to own a car. In
New York and London, for example, the majority of residents do not drive. Still, a lot of people
think that really tall buildings ruin the look of a cit y. What do you think?
