The way Jason Momoa describes Hawaii’s beloved inactive volcano, Mauna Kea, makes you
understand why it’s considered sacred(神圣的).
"It’s kind of the umbilical cord(脐带) to earth," the actor tells CNN. "You know, if you think about the
Hawaiian islands, that’s the biggest mountain in the world, right? All the way up. So Mauna Kea is the
precise and gainful business decision.

most sacred. We call it the belly button, too. That’s like our birthplace. That’s how our islands were
formed. So how can that not be sacred?"
He would know. Jason, a native of Hawaii, has had a near-constant presence there when he’s not
working, fighting with local protestors to stop the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT,
which would drill directly into the mountain and invade its precious water supply. So far, protestors have
successfully blocked the only road crews seeking to go up the mountain in order to build the billion-dollar
observatory.
"It started in 2015. What’s happening over there was just not right," Jason says. "And I went over
there to meet with everyone to bring the point to the world." Jason joins the protests when he can. He
cared so deeply about the preservation of the land that when he had spare time to lend his support, he
was there. "You also have to remember, that’s our water source. So having an 18-story building built on
top of the tallest mountain from the sea level on our water level is terrible."
The Game of Thrones star says he feels the movement is working and describing his part in it as a
calling to do what he feels right in his soul. "There’s massive progress that’s bringing our people
together," he says, adding, "I think there are a lot of problems in Hawaii. There are a lot of things that
have happened in our history, a lot of injustice, and so we’re shining a light on it. People like myself or
Dwayne Johnson, Bruno Mars are trying to spread the concern all around the world. For my soul I need to
be there."
4. Why is Mauna Kea sacred according to Jason?
A. It’s still growing upwards. B. It looks
like the belly button.
C. It’s the birthplace of Humans. D. It brings
the islands into being.
5. What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. The project of building TMT. B. The event of blocking the road crews.
C. The shooting of Game of Thrones. D. The movement of preserving the land.

A. Making people politically sensitive. B. Witnessing the history of Hawaii.
C. Bringing Hawaii problems into focus. D. Making Mauna Kea better-known.英语试题 第 4 页（共 10 页）

China is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods,
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese
people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique
medical theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies.
The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence of the balance between Yin
and Yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and Yin is the inner base to store and
provide energy. When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.
One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertion of needles into
superficial structures of the body - usually at acupoints (穴位) - to restore the Yin-Yang balance. It is often
accompanied by moxibustion ( 艾 灸 疗 法 ), which involves burning mugwort on or near the skin at an
acupoint.
The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is
practiced today is The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of
TCM and is considered the fundamental and most representative medical text in China.
Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And
TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to
more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture
and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its
effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.
8. What is the key feature of TCM?
A. It helps to restore body’s self-balance. B. It’s based on ancient Chinese philosophies.
C. It adopts different medical approaches. D. It’s gained experience through rich practice.
9. What can we learn about The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon from the text?
A. It greatly boosts the development of TCM.英语试题 第 5 页（共 10 页）
B. It’s a foundation of world medical research.
C. It stresses the importance of using acupoints.
D. It distinguishes acupuncture from moxibustion.
10. Why does the writer write this text?
A. To introduce TCM to the world.
B. To review the development of TCM.
C. To tell TCM and Western medicine apart.
D. To comment on TCM in fighting COVID-19.
11. What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?
A. Why TCM gets recognition from WHO. B. Why TCM is gaining popularity.
C. How TCM helps in the current situation. D. How other countries adopt TCM.

The auto industry, aviation(航空) giants and lots of new companies are increasingly entering the race
toward producing flying cars and air taxis, many of which are said to be fully electric. On the surface, there
are so many innovations happening that it's easy to forget that the world hasn't even seen a fully
autonomous car yet, let alone an electric flying vehicle you can park in your driveway.
In fact, there are several hurdles before people are riding through the air. "They are short on
technology, and they are short on regulation." said Jennings-Bates, vice president of a car company.
Uber and Boeing, both world famous companies, have announced ambitious plans for air taxis.
However, the types of vehicles they have in mind would require magical electric batteries that don't exist
yet.
Whether the United States actually needs flying cars remains relatively unclear. Aviation experts say
that air vehicles help solve congestion problems in big cities. "Today, we have a lot of traffic congestion on
the roadways," said Laurie Garrow, associate director for the Center for Urban and Regional Air Mobility
at Georgia Tech. "Air taxis would provide a solution for that." Others argue that putting traffic in the skies
doesn't solve very much. "We aren't going to change the world in terms of traffic with flying cars," said
Jennings-Bates. "At best, it may take the place of traffic in the area, which is arguably less pleasant."
Some experts say it's not a question of whether flying cars will take off. Instead, it's a question of
how soon the concepts would be safe enough for humans to occupy. "Everyone is very excited and 英语试题 第 6 页（共 10 页）
they're coming up with very different designs," Garrow said. "But you have a lengthy certification process
that will need to go through to make sure the craft and flights are safe." She estimates that it'll be about
20 years before the U.S. sees more than test flights.
12. What can we infer about flying cars from Paragraph 1?
A. They are fully electric. B. They are unavailable yet.
C. They need special driveway. D. They equal autonomous cars.
13. What does the underlined “hurdles” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Ambitious plans. B. Big problems.
C. Electric batteries. D. Current innovations.
14. According to Garrow, what’s the main concern about flying cars?
A. Test flights. B. Design. C. Production. D. Safety.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why we should produce flying cars. B. How hard the race of making flying cars is.
C. How close we are to seeing flying cars. D. What people’s opinions are about flying cars.

It’s in Your Hands
Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips
to the local park. 16 Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel
Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds' feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a
strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open.
"Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely," says Caroline
Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline, " 17 " Over the last 20 years UK charity Swan Lifeline
has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds. Adult swans can develop heart disease by eating much
bread, so it's important we do our best to prevent this by feeding them the right kind of food.
18 Rotten bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to breed, spreading disease
and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould(霉菌)
called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs.
19 Definitely not. WildThings Swan & Duck Food has launched the "Better than Bread" 英语试题 第 7 页（共 10 页）
Campaign to highlight the risk of a calorific diet to water birds. The campaign advises that there are much
healthier alternatives to bread, such as specially developed feeds. They can float on the water surface, so
birds can enjoy every last bit. 20
A. So we must stop feeding the ducks.
B. But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?
C. Does this mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks?
D. Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem.
E. What a scene it is to watch ducks eating bread floating on the river!
F. Otherwise the consequences can be serious--such as the loss of the wing.
G. Next time take a healthier alternative and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.

Danger at Scituate Lighthouse
Rebecca stood by her father, looking out the windows of Scituate Lighthouse. Low sand dunes(沙丘)
with sea grass topped the Massachusetts beach. There were no clouds in the sky—nothing at all to give
warning of the danger that was sailing toward them.
"Now, Rebecca, " Mr. Bates began, gazing out across the open sea, "I want you and Abigail to help
your mother and take care of things while I go to town for food and supplies. I won’t be gone long. "
"We’ll help, " Rebecca promised.
"I know I can count on you. "
Still, Mr. Bates looked a little worried about leaving the lighthouse. After all, peace between the US
and the UK had not yet been declared, even though the war of 1812 was nearly over. Although English
warships used to frequently attack towns along the coast—including Scituate—no English soldiers had
been sighted for a long time. Besides, Rebecca thought as she watched her father set off, the family 英语试题 第 10 页（共 10 页）
would soon starve if he didn’t go for food.
Her father hadn’t been gone long when Rebecca happened to look out the window at the ocean.
What she saw nearly made her heart stop. It was an enemy ship: a small, light-gunned British warship.
Calling for her mother, she grabbed her father’s telescope and could just make out the name painted on
the side: La Hogue.
Rebecca, Abigail, and their mother stood together, frightened, as they watched the ship sail closer.
Mother told the girls to watch the ship while she tried to sound the alarm and warn the home guard in
the nearby village. The girls watched helplessly as the great ship drew near. Two small boats were
lowered off the side, and Rebecca knew the boats would come ashore quickly.
It was time to run. As they ran down the lighthouse stairs, Rebecca suddenly stopped when she saw
her fife(横笛). Oh my! She thought. It just might work… Rebecca grabbed the fife and the drum(鼓) that
Abigail had been learning to play.
Paragraph 1：
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.
Paragraph 2：
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be
coming from the confident American soldiers.英语试题 第 11 页（共 10 页）

Dear Eric,
How is everything going?
Let’s continue our Identifying and Correcting Mistranslations Project this Saturday, shall we? How about
going to Weihai Coastal Park this time? We’ll walk along the greenways and go around the park to check
every possible tourist sign. As usual, you take pictures and I record the information, so get your camera
ready. Besides, you’d better take a hat to avoid getting sunburnt.
Shall we meet at 7:45 a.m. at the main entrance of the park if it’s convenient for you?

we’ll discuss and correct them before we make a file on the computer.
If it’s convenient for you, shall we meet at the school library at 8 a.m. Don’t forget to the your U disk

See you soon!

I'm still ripping mad even though one week has passed since we presented our findings of the

Shall we meet in the English Club at 2 p.m. this Sunday? We’ll go on discussing about the report to be
delivered to the government for a more international city. So do remember to get your outline ready. And

She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.
They hid themselves among the trees. Peering through the trees, they saw the boats coming closer and
closer. Taking a deep breath, Rebecca held her sister’s trembling hand and handed her the drum. “We’ve
got to play ‘Yankee Doodle’. You know the home guard always marches to a drum and fife. Let’s make the
British soldiers believe our troops are coming to fight.” Abigail nodded. Her face was white, but she
gripped her drumsticks firmly. The lively rhythm of “Yankee Doodle” soon filled the air.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be
coming from the confident American soldiers. They hesitated and slowed down the boats. The captain
listened tensely, fearing that if his men landed on the beach, they would be walking into a trap, so he
fired as a retreat signal. The sailors quickly turned the rowboats around. When the home guard arrived,
they were amazed to find the La Hogue had already set sail. They congratulated Rebecca on her quick
thinking to trick the British into leaving. Rebecca and Abigail’s bravery and lively music had defeated the
enemy… without a single shot having been fired.
Possible version 2
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.
As soon as they reached one of the large sand dunes, they quickly hid behind it to keep themselves out of
the sight of the British soldiers. Handing the drum to Abigail, Rebecca whispered to her sister the plan
that they might scare the Englishmen away by playing the song of “Yankee Doodle” as it was the most 英语试题 第 13 页（共 10 页）
popular song in the American army. Although frightened, the two girls played their instruments with all
their strength and the sound of the music flew to every soldier on the boats.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be
coming from the confident American soldiers. They stopped their boats and listened tensely. Seeing that
the trick was working, the girls made the music louder and louder. After a short while, the boats sailed
hurriedly back toward their warship and then they were raised aboard the ship. A moment later, the
enemy ship set sail and disappeared in the distance. At the sight of this, the girls jumped with great joy.
Just at that time, their mother and a group of home guards arrived. Learning what had happened, they
gave thumps up to the brave girls and called them their little heroes.
Possible version 3
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.
Sensing Abigail’s fear, Rebecca patted her head to calm her down. “Do you remember how to play Yankee
Doodle?” asked Rebecca, casting an expecting glance at Abigail. “en...yes,” she answered with an effort.
Mum wasn’t back and the enemies were approaching. Stuck in this situation, playing “Yankee Doodle”
was the way Rebecca could come up with to confuse enemies and win time. Thinking of Father’s
encouraging words, they played the song as if they were true soldiers.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be
coming from the confident American soldiers. Some slowed down their rowing but their boats were
within a stone’s throw of the beach. The girls got a bit panic and were unsure what to do next. Suddenly,
some people appeared in the other direction, among whom Rebecca spotted her Mum. The girls exchanged
smiles and played the music louder. Seeing this, the soldiers turned around, heading for La Hogue. Mum
embraced her girls, curing her mouth into a proud smile.
Possible version 4
She and her sister hurried out of the lighthouse and over to the large sand dunes that lay behind it.
Hardly had they reached the sand dunes when they hid themselves well. Frightened but calm, Rebecca
whispered to her sister her plan—playing the music of “Yankee Doodle”, which she thought might help
scare away the British soldiers because the music was the song of American army. Motioning to each
other, they began to play the tune. While playing, Rebecca watched the boats which seemed to be
approaching. Though a surge in fear, Rebecca encouraged her sister to play with full strength and the
music flew to the soldiers on boats.
The English soldiers looked nervously at one another—the music of “Yankee Doodle” had to be
coming from the confident American soldiers. They stopped marching forward, listening as if to check
their thought. Seeing them stop, the sisters managed to hold back their excitement and continued to play
even harder. They finally defeated the army without any loss. There came their mum with the home guard
dashing towards them. Knowing what happened, they felt greatly relieved and all praised the sisters for
their bravery and wisdom.
