Dear Mr. Whitacre,
I fell in love with a "flying Dutchman" ... literally. In the summer of 2011, I moved to the Netherlands
not knowing anyone except my husband, not knowing how to speak the language, and leaving behind my
friends, family, and everything I knew that represented me. But as they say, “Love is blind. " in the
beginning, I spent many months "alone in my head. " My mother - in - law didn't speak English (or
Italian). This, however, didn't stop her from trying to communicate with me. At first, sounds of vague
meanings coupled with hand gestures was our way of having a conversation.
It wasn't until I discovered she was a choral (合唱的)director for a women's group in the community
that we then began communicating on a whole different level. From my early days in school. I was always
part of a school choir for over a decade.
We shared a love of music! Dien ( my mother - in - law's name) taught me many beautiful Dutch
songs. 1 sang in her choir throughout the years that followed. And then by chance, I came across a TED -
Talk featuring you, Mr. Whitacre discussing your music and the virtual (虚拟合唱 团)choir. Within
minutes, I researched when the next project would start and to my surprise, it was Virtual Choir 4 "Fly To
Paradise. ” I couldn't wait to tell my mother - in - law!
The next 2 weeks we spent practicing our parts and perfecting our video submissions. It was pure joy
for us. Something we shared a love for, encouraging each other, spending hours together, and making a
permanent bond as a mother and daughter - in - law.
Music has always been a part of my life. Its significance is greater than anything most people are
aware of. Our participation in your virtual choir is one I will never forget. And it goes without saying, I am
grateful for you, your music, and its ability to connect us all.
21. Which of the following best describes the author's mother - in - law?
A. Talkative and humorous. B. Active and caring.
B. Strict and determined. C. Quiet and considerate.
22. What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She felt regretful about her marriage at the beginning.
B. She tried to avoid speaking to Dien due to language barrier.
C. She decided to join the virtual choir with Dien's suggestions.
D. She developed a closer family bond by joining the virtual choir.
23. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To give encouragement. B. To offer help.
C. To express thanks. D. To introduce a choir.
B
Tunnels are passageways that are built under the ground. They can also be made under a sea or a river.
Some tunnels are dug through high mountains.
For hundreds of years, tunnels have been built all over the world. People use these tunnels to travel
from one place to another. Some tunnels are used as waterlanes. Coal and gemstones are also brought from
under the ground through long tunnels.
In the past, people dug tunnels using picks and shovels. Rocks and soil were loaded into one --- wheel
barrows and then onto horses and carts. This work was very tiring.
Today, engineers do a lot of planning before they start to build a tunnel. They use computers to check
the level of the water and the types of rock under the ground. When they are sure the area is safe, huge
machines are used to dig out the soil.
These machines have an enormous cutting wheel at the front. The wheel slowly grinds (磨碎)
through the rock and soil to make the tunnel. Soil that is not needed is carried away in large trucks. As
the tunnel becomes longer, it is lined with huge pipes so the walls and roof do not callapse.
Long tunnels have powerful lights to help drivers see the road ahead. Water sprinklers (洒水装 置)
are fitted to help keep people safe if a fire breaks out in the tunnel.
In large cities, tunnels are built under very busy roads. People can drive through these tunnels. This
makes it quicker to travel to different parts of the city.
Some trains have to wind slowly and carefully over steep mountain slopes. But9 in places where there
are tunnels, trains can travel quickly through the mountain to reach the other side.
24. Why do people build the tunnels in big cities?
A. To explore the underground world.
B. To exhibit engineering skills.
C. To draw water from the underground.
D. To improve the means of transportation.
25. How are the ways to build tunnels today different from the ancient ones?
A. People dig tunnels with heavy machinery instead of simple tools.
B. People don't need to deal with the soil from digging now.
C. To keep safe, computers will do everything for people.
D. People use huge pipes for all tunnels for safety reasons.
26. What do the last two paragraphs serve as?
A. An introduction. B. Supporting details.
C. A comparison. D. A conclusion.
C
The COVID - 19 pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago. Millions of people
worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdowns. All public attractions, including museums and
aquariums, are closed, and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty. An
unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting
a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely.
The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward, two penguins who live
at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. A video released on March 15,2020, showed the couple eagerly duckwalking
around, exploring the aquarium's various exhibits. The video, which instantly became popular, inspired
other institutions to share short videos of their four - legged creatures playing as well.
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16, 2020, with a “Home Safari"
live-stream series — the first starring its adorable baby panda, Fiona. "Let us help make your children's
hiatus from school fun and educational," zoo officials announced. "Join us for a Home Safari Online Live
each weekday at 3 pm, where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can
do from home."
Meanwhile, the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams(网络摄像头)rolling, allowing fans to
enjoy lovable animals without leaving home. Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors.
The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari, while groups of wild
turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland.
Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time, the heartwarming videos and images
shared on social media, are also bringing much - needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide. Stay
strong and healthy! We are all in this together!
27, What changes has the COVID -19 pandemic caused to the zoo animals?
A. They are now under required or voluntary lockdowns.
B. They can enjoy a free life without tourists' disturbance.
C. They will be faced with unexpected existing challenges.
D. They get a chance to wander about freely in the wild.
28. What does the underlined word “hiatus" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Courses. B. Sightseeing. C. Activities. D. Interruption.
29. Why has the San Diego Safari Park has kept its webcams rolling?
A. To enable people to admire animals at home.
B. To film the animals wandering about in the zoo.
C. To compete for more viewers online.
D. To record people's life in the COVID -19 crisis.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Pandemic Affects the World
B. Lovely Animals Bring fun to People
C. Animals Play in the Absence of Humans
D. Stay Strong and Healthy in the Pandemic

Take a Break from Technology
In today's world we are constantly surrounded by technology. It's true to say that technology makes
our lives easier. 31 Otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems.
Over the summer the days are longer, sunnier and free from school. With all this free time, why not put it to
good use and do something that doesn't involve technology?

sport. Maybe you've always wanted to try out that recipe, but haven't had time? Perhaps you fancy learning
how to knit, so you can have a new sweater for the autumn? You could use your free time to learn
something new. 33
If you just fancy relaxing, why not head to a beach? Take along your favourite book and relax on the
sand or go for a walk along the coastline (just make sure you're aware of the tides!). If you don't live near
a beach, you could go to your local park. 34
Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new! 35 Also, you might make
new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly channel -- hopping, have a think at what

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was on September 5th, my birthday, that we left Cambridge and moved away. We went to the seaside,
to our holiday house, which was now to be our permanent home.
I remember the day was cold and grey, with a light rain falling slowly but constantly. My father drove
in silence. No one spoke and all we could hear was the sound of the tyres on the wet road.
When we got to the small house near the sea, my mother quietly started to unpack the few things we
had brought with us. Carol, Julie and I went down to the beach. We said we were going to look for crabs in
the rockpools but actually, we just wanted to get away from our father and his cold silence.
We climbed along the rocks by the side of the beach. Julie and Carol became interested in some shells
they found in one of the pools. I wandered away, lost in my private thoughts. It was my birthday, but no one
had said “Happy Birthday" to me. I had not received any cards or presents.
I walked down to the seashore, where the waves were breaking lazily against the muddy sand.
Suddenly, I saw something green sticking out of the water. I looked at it more carefully. The green thing
moved closer and closer to the shore, and when it was almost near enough for me to touch, I realized what
it was.
It was a bottle. I went over and picked it up, all the time looking at it. It seemed old, and had no label
on it. Then I realized there was something inside. Slowly, I pulled out the wet cork from the top of the
bottle. Inside was a piece of paper. With great care, I took out the folded paper and opened it.
Written on it were these words :
“To whomsoever finds this bottle, I promise you a new friend,"

Dear Mr. Green,
I'm writing to ask you for a favor.
I'm preparing an English speech with 由 e title “Cloning's Role in Life”. I hope 1 can get
people to think more about the significance of cloning and the potential problems it may cause.
However, when it comes to the moral risks cloning may bring us, I find it quite hard to make my
viewpoint convincing enough, as I lack solid evidence and relevant knowledge. So I wonder if you
could recommend some books sharing experts' arguments on xkw this topic.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
