It was at midnight, when Janice Esposito arrived at the train station, jumped into her car, and
began the 20-minute drive home. She had traveled the route so many times. A car out of nowhere
crashed into Esposito's minivan, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She
sat in the minivan, bruised but mostly just stunned by the impact and by the vehicle's airbags.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher,
DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas, ran out the
door.
The first car he came upon was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver
was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's minivan stuck on the railroad tracks. And then he
heard a sharp sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train.
"I even see the headlights of the train," he told Newsday. DiPinto rushed to Esposito's minivan
and banged on the driver's side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. "I don't know
where I am," she said.
"Honey, you're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto shouted. "We have to get you off right now!" He
yanked(猛拉) on the handle, but the door was jammed shut. The train was hurtling toward them.
DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. "Please, don't let her be trapped," he
thought. He pushed aside the deflating airbags, grabbed Esposito's arms, and pulled her toward him
across the passenger seat until he could help her out and speed her to safety. Within six seconds, he
estimated, the train crashed into the Minivan. "It was like a Hollywood movie,'' DiPinto told
reporters the next day.
But this one had a twist. "Last night," Esposito told CBS, "the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a
fire truck."
4. What do we know about Janice Esposito from the first paragraph?
A. She fell off the train.
B. She was familiar with the route.
C. She was hit deliberately.
D. She was conscious after the crash.
5. Why did DiPinto hurry to rescue Esposito from her minivan?
A. She was hurt badly.
B. He felt it was his duty.
C. The other driver was OK.
D. The train was to hit her car.
6. Why did DiPinto say "It was like a Hollywood movie"?
A. It was a clip from a movie.
B. The story happened in Hollywood.
C. The plot was as thrilling as a movie.
D. Esposito was a film star in Hollywood.
7. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. A Thrilling Ride Home
B. A Serious Car Accident
C. Help People in Need
D. The Hero in Pajamas

Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day
2020 occurs on Wednesday, April 22—the holiday's 50th anniversary. The holiday is now a global
celebration that's sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green
living.
By the early 1960s, Americans were becoming aware of the effects of pollution on the
environment. Rachel Carson's 1962 bestseller Silent Spring pointed out the dangerous effects of
pesticides(杀虫剂) on the American countryside. Later in the decade, a 1969 fire on Cleveland's
Cuyahoga River shed light on the problem of chemical waste disposal. Until that time, protecting the
planet's natural resources was not part of the national political plan. Only a small portion of the
American population was familiar with environmental issues—let alone practiced recycling.
Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962, Senator(参议员) Gaylord Nelson was determined to convince
the federal government that the planet was at risk. In the fall of 1969, Nelson, considered one of the
leaders of the modern environmental movements, announced the Earth Day concept at a conference
in Seattle and invited the entire nation to get involved. He later recalled: "The response was
electric(高度刺激的). Telegrams, letters and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the
country. The American people finally had an opportunity to express their concern about what was
happening to the land, rivers, lakes and air."
Public opinion polls(民意调查) indicated that in May 1971, 25 percent of the U.S public declared
protecting the environment to be an important goal, a 2,500 percent increase over 1969.
Earth Day kicked off the environmental decade with a bang, as Senator Nelson later put it.
During the 1970s, a number of important environmental laws were passed, such as the Clean Air Act,
the Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act. Another key development was
the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in December 1970, which was
tasked with protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment—air, water and land.
8.What do we learn about the circumstances in America before Earth Day was founded?
A.The overuse of pesticides had little impact on the American countryside.
B.The fire on Cuyahoga River was caused by improper chemical waste disposal.
C.The government highly valued the protection of the natural resources.
D.Only a few Americans were familiar with environmental issues and practiced recycling.
9.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A.Nelson convinced the federal government that the planet was at risk.
B.Nelson organized the modem environmental movements all by himself.
C.The Earth Day successfully aroused the public's interest in environmental issues.
D.The electric power supply had been cut off because numerous telephone inquiries poured in.
10.Why was the Environmental Protection Agency set up?
A.To collect public opinions. B.To kick off the environmental decade.
C.To change public attitudes. D.To protect human beings and nature.
11.What do you think the author will discuss later?
A.Earth Day celebrations have grown and spread around the globe.
B.EPA protects human health and our natural environment.
C.The environmental laws come into effect.
D.Senator Nelson's achievements are remarkable.
D
Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new
research provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.
The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment(沉淀物) from under the seafloor off the coast
of Antarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90
million years old. This would have been in the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs were the main
land animals. The sediment was removed by scientists on the research icebreaker RV Polarstern in
the Amundsen Sea near Pine Island Glacier.
Johann Klages is a geologist with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and
Marine Research in Germany. He was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the
journal Nature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean
floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn't form in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area—about 900 kilometers from the South Pole—had average
yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius. During the warmest summer months, average
temperatures likely reached between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. The soil included fine dirt
particles(颗粒) and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the
study found. Klages added that the plants included trees, ferns and flowering plants. While no animal
remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles(爬行动物) and many
insects in the environment.
The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth has experienced in the
past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet's
warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The
researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each
year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.
Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.
12. How did the researchers come to their findings?
A. By collecting data on climate.
B. By researching special plants.
C. By exploring ice in Antarctica.
D. By analyzing the Earth sediment.
13. What did the researchers say about the sediment?
A. Its material developed in the ocean.
B. Its material formed on the land.
C. It dates back to cold times in Antarctica.
D. It contained different animal remains.
14. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?
A. There were ice sheets 140 million years ago.
B. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.
C. Antarctica's natural environment has changed greatly.
D. Polar nights in Antarctica are getting shorter than before.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Antarctica is getting warmer like before.
B. Various wildlife once existed in Antarctica.
C. Antarctica had a different history of climate.
D. Researchers study the secrets of Antarctica.

Amid hopes of the digital age, it is easy to forget that old-fashioned human desire is as essential
to achieving business goals as ever. Yet many companies struggle because their cultures get in the
way. This is a big problem. 16________ Why? For two reasons. People essentially seek joy. And
joy connects people more powerfully than almost any other human experience.
The connective power of joy is clearly visible in sports. 17________ Joy fuels further success.
Everyone is caught up in the moment. Can the joy that is so apparent in athletics be copied in
business? Absolutely.
In any team environment, joy usually arises from three things which business leaders can
engender in their organizations.
18________ On winning teams, each player has a distinct role in achieving the goal. One player
might be a great passer. Another is a great scorer. When the diverse skills and strengths of
teammates are really clicking together, it feels great.
Impact. 19________ You can see it in their faces as they throw their arms around each other and
jump up and down like children. They are saying to each other: "Can you believe we did that?!"
Acknowledgment. Great coaches instruct their players to, when they score, immediately point to
the teammates who created the scoring opportunity.20________
This is a pattern full of opportunities for business leaders. By providing people with more of the
experiences that engender joy in any team setting. leaders can tap (发掘) more of the practical power
of joy in their companies.
A. Harmony.
B. Achievement.
C. And joy can be a big part of the solution.

殖地区的三倍。time 在句中表倍数,为可数名词。空前有数词 there ,故设空处填复数形式 times。
37 考查形容词的比较等级。句意为:但是在疫情期间,研究人员注意到,城区的噪声等级大大降
低。根据句意可知,此处是和正常状态下相比。故用比较级 lower。
38 考查介词。句意为:事实上,疾病大流行期间城市的噪声等级和 20 世纪 50 年代中期的交通噪
声等级持平。be consistent with 意为"和……保持一致",故填 with。
39 考查冠词。句意为:研究人员指出:"换句话说,新冠肺炎疫情封锁给旧金山湾带来了一个安静
的春天"。这里泛指一个春天,应用不定冠词,且 silent 的发音以辅音音素开头,故用冠词 a。
40 考查非谓语动词。句意为:通过分析金门大桥的车流量数据……介词后的动词应用-ing 形式,
故填 analyzing。
41 考查非谓语动词。句意为: ……2020 年四月至五月的车流量回落到了 1954 年以来的最低水
平。分析句子结构可知, not _______ since 1954 在句中作后置定语,修饰 levels ,levels 和动词 see
之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故填 seen。
42 考查词性转换。句意为这表明人类行为的短时间剧变有效地消除了持续半个多世纪的城区
噪声污染。change 在此处为名词,应用形容词修饰,故填 dramatic。
43 考查动词的时态。句意为:鸟类对此的反应是用更低的振幅(音量)唱出更优美的歌声,最大限
度地增加交流距离和显著性。分析句子成分可知,设空处在句中作谓语,此处是对过去事实的描
述,应用一般过去时,故用动词的过去式 responded。
44 考查词性转换。句意为:研究人员在研究中讲道:"我们发现,当噪声水平降低时,鸟儿的叫声史
柔和。" sang 为动词,应用副词修饰,故填 softly。
45 考查定语从句。句意为:研究人员说,"此外,信号噪声比的加倍有助于解释媒体关于鸟叫声在
封锁期间听起来更嘹亮的报道"。分析句子结构可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整
句话,设空处在从句中作主语,故填 which。
第三部分 写作
第一节
Dear Mike,
I really understand your situation. It's never easy to leave a familiar neighborhood for an
unfamiliar one.
In my opinion, urban life also has its advantages. For instance, cities have a better learning
environment. Also, more job opportunities are available there. Maybe that's why your parents have
planned to move. So you should communicate with your parents about the move and express
yourself. If it's settled, you'd better adapt yourself and get ready for the new life.
Please don't hesitate to tell me if there's anything I can do. May you get rid of your trouble soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Paragraph 1:
The teacher stood shocked and the whole class laughed out loud. Beverly stood up and lowered
her head as if she had made a huge mistake. "Sorry," Beverly murmured. The teacher approached her,
patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to sit down. "It's OK, Beverly. Your answer is great.
It reminds us of the precious gifts we have, which are real wonders." After a brief silence, there was
a burst of applause. Especially those who made fun of her at first, clapped their hands and looked at
Beverly affectionately.
Paragraph 2:
"Let's rewrite the true Seven Wonders in your heart, kids," the teacher said. Everyone spoke with
one voice on the suggestion. Very quickly, the students handed in their papers, with their eyes
sparkling with happiness. Answers on these papers were so various and sincere: "my parents",
"playing with my dog Spotty", "the sunshine", "to be able to fly"... Looking at all kinds of answers,
the teacher was surprised that the students' thinking was so rich. Meanwhile, she was glad they had
got such a valuable lesson.
