一、阅读理解
（2023高二下·泸县开学考）阅读理解
Veteran Oksana Chusovitina
ended her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic
Games. After failing to secure a spot in Sunday's vault final, the 46-year-old,
representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo's Ariake Gymnastics
Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried.
Born in Uzbek capital Tashkent
in 1976, Chusovitina took up gymnastics at age 7, following her older brother into
the sport. "My mother did not want me to do gymnastics, she was worried about
me all the time. I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I
think I eventually succeeded in that," Chusovitina once said of her childhood.
She made her Olympic debut
(首次亮相) at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part
of the gold medal-winning Unified team, comprised of (由……组成) athletes from former Soviet states.
She then represented Uzbekistan,
before being granted German citizenship in 2006. She took home a vault silver medal
at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan
in 2013. Chusovitina is one of just two female gymnasts to represent three different
nations at the Olympic Games.
When Chusovitina's 3-year-old
son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize
money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship
was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.
After her son's recovery,
Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love of gymnastics that
kept her going. "There is no secret. I just love gymnastics and no one ever
forced me to compete. I do so with pleasure," she said.
With COVID-19 rules keeping
fans out of the venue, Chusovitina admitted the atmosphere wasn't what she had hoped.
"I would have loved to have spectators, she said. "Of course in terms
of performance, it's better when it's just you and the apparatus (器具). But every athlete needs this attention and applause. "
"Maybe Fil skip Paris
(2024 Games), and go to Los Angeles (2028 Games) for the applause," she joked.
At last, she told reporters, "My son is 22 years old and I want to spend time
with him. I want to be a mom."
1．What is implied about Chusovitina
A．She once took home a gold medal in her own right.
B．She started gymnastics to meet her mother's expectations.
C．She preferred no audience when performing during the pandemic.
D．She will probably not compete in the 2028 Olympic Games.
2．Why did Chusovitina choose to compete for German
A．Because she could secure a spot more easily in the Olympics.
B．Because it would guarantee her a lot of prize money.
C．Because it meant better medical treatment for her son.
D．Because she was granted German citizenship.
3．Which word can best describe Chusovitina as an athlete
A．Diligent. B．Perseverant. C．Talented. D．Ambitious.
4．What is the best title for the text

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了体操运动员Chusovitina的故事。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
1．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Veteran Oksana Chusovitina ended her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games.”周日晚上，老将奥克萨娜·丘索维金娜结束了她传奇的职业生涯，她曾创纪录地第八次参加奥运会；以及最后一段中的“‘Maybe I’ll skip Paris (2024 Games), and go to Los Angeles (2028 Games) for the applause,’ she joked.”她开玩笑说：“也许我会不去巴黎(2024年奥运会)，去洛杉矶(2028年奥运会)，只为赢得掌声。可知，Chusovitina已经退休，她可能不会参加2028年奥运会。故选D。
2．考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.”她加入德国国籍的动机是有更高的收入和更好的医疗保障。可知，Chusovitina加入德国队是为了给孩子更好的医疗。故选C。
3．考查推理判断。根据第一段“Veteran Oksana Chusovitina ended her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games. After failing to secure a spot in Sunday's vault final, the 46-year-old, representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo's Ariake Gymnastics Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried.”周日晚上，老将奥克萨娜·丘索维金娜结束了她传奇的职业生涯，她已经创纪录地参加了八次奥运会。在未能在周日的跳马决赛中获得席位后，这位代表乌兹别克斯坦的46岁选手向东京有明体操中心(Ariake Gymnastics Center)内的一小群观众挥手，用手做了个心形，并短暂地哭了一场；以及第六段中的“After her son's recovery, Chusovitina continued to compete”在儿子康复后，丘索维金娜继续参加比赛。可知，Chusovitina作为运动员一直坚持在体操赛场上比赛，她是一个坚持不懈的人。故选B。
4．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Veteran Oksana Chusovitina ended her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games.”周日晚上，老将奥克萨娜·丘索维金娜结束了她传奇的职业生涯，她已经创纪录地参加了八次奥运会；第五段“When Chusovitina's 3-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.”当丘索维金娜3岁的儿子在2002年被诊断出患有白血病时，她卖掉了所有的财产，用自己挣来的奖金支付了儿子的医疗费用。她加入德国国籍的动机是有更高的收入和更好的医疗保障；以及最后一段中的“At last, she told reporters,‘My son is 22 years old and I want to spend time with him. I want to be a mom.’”最后，她告诉记者：“我儿子22岁了，我想和他在一起。我想当妈妈。”可知，本文以Chusovitina退休事件引入，描述了她作为运动员和妈妈两个身份与她所从事的体操的故事，“一位传奇运动员，一位极好的母亲”适合做文章的标题。故选C。

had no interest in sports until an accident happened.
When Cassius was 12, his
new bike was missing. Reporting the theft to Policeman Joe Martin, he said that
he was going to beat whoever had taken his bike. Martin, who had been coaching youth
boxing for decades, asked the boy, "Do you know how to fight " When Cassius

have.
Under the guidance of Martin

2012 was one of the hardest
years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For sea-eras months, I found
it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what
it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.
I cannot remember the reason
why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga studio in east London, where
I signed up for a 3 O-day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated.
What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day, Sometimes, when my
head felt as if it might collapse (崩溃), I went twice
a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was
something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts
inside my mind.
I chose the Bikram method
of hot yoga: It has a set of 26 postured and two breathing exercises performed in
heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury.
In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright (取得版权)
his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram
is not real yoga. Some question the limita-lions of just 26 postured. Others wonder
why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in
those 26 postured freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the
present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.
9．What happened to the author in 2012

Working at a bank in
New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life - just not the
life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt
important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Some people seeking
meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks
packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in
Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable (可持续的) living and growing sustainable food. She returned to New York with
a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality.
"One of the
things that really stuck with me from Adamah, which means 'Earth' in Hebrew,
was how they handled the waste they had, primarily through composting (堆肥)，" she says. "And I just thought,
'Why aren't we doing that here "
The Adamah program
opened Sacks' eyes to the damage that consumer culture is doing on a local,
national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2016, she
took a master composting course and started working with a food rescue program,
which she named" trash walking. "
During walks around
her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through garbage to look for reusable items.
Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company trash cans along with
residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great
stuff - like clothing, decorations, plates and food.
Sacks' main focus is
simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy
and then throw away. "Once you become conscious of the way you consume,
you can see ways you improve," she says.
13．Why did Sacks participate in the program Adamah
A．She was concerned about her job.
B．She intended to do volunteer work.
C．She preferred a more meaningful life.
D．She expected to learn living skills.
14．What impressed Sacks most about the program Adamah
A．The way they dealt with the waste.
B．The sustainable food they produced.
C．The importance they placed on farming.
D．The modern lifestyle they stuck to.
15．Which of the following best describes Sacks
A．A farmer. B．A doer. C．A follower. D．A dreamer.
16．What does Sacks suggest people do
A．Take part in trash walking. B．Reflect on consumption patterns.
C．Stop throwing away things. D．Avoid buying new items.

13．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable (可持续的) living and growing sustainable food. ”一些寻求意义的人可能会读一本自助书，或者每周做几个小时的志愿者。Sacks结束了自己的生活，搬到康涅狄格州三个月，参加Adamah，一个犹太农业项目，专注于可持续生活和种植可持续食物。可知，一些人寻求意义的方式是读一本书或做志愿者，而Sacks则去参加了一个犹太农业项目Adamah，可知参加这个项目也是她寻求更有意义的生活的方式。故选C。
14．考查细节理解。根据第三段“‘One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah, which means ‘Earth’ in Hebrew, was how they handled the waste they had, primarily through composting (堆肥)，’ she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here ’” 她说：“在希伯来语中，Adamah的意思是“地球”，从中，一件真地让我印象深刻的事情就是他们如何处理废料，主要是通过堆肥，我只是想，‘我们为什么不在这里做？’”可知，令她印象深刻的这个项目处理废料的方式。故选A。
15．考查推理判断。根据第四段“The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage that consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2016, she took a master composting course and started working with a food rescue program, which she named ‘trash walking.’ ”Adamah项目让Sacks看到了消费文化在地方、国家和全球层面上所造成的破坏，以及寻找解决方案的必要性。因此，2016年，她参加了堆肥大师课程，并开始从事一项食物救援计划，她将其命名为“垃圾行走”可知，Sacks是一个行动力很强的人，她从Adamah项目了解到消费文化造成的危害，很快就开始为找到应对措施付出行动，可以称得上实干家。故选B。
16．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away.”Sacks的主要关注点是让人们注意他们买了多少不必要的东西，然后扔掉。可知， Sacks想让人们关注自己的不良消费：买不必要的东西然后扔掉它们，这实际上就是希望人们能够反思自己的消费模式。故选B。

For
about two months, Frank Gordon and his dog Casey have been in intensive training.
Casey is training to become a qualified service dog, and Gordon is training to use
him to cope with what doctors have diagnosed as severe/post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD 创伤后应激障碍）。
And
that alone is a huge step for Gordon, who says he feels trapped in the real-life
nightmare he endured during his military service. After having lived with invisible
wounds for more than 30 years, he's now got Casey, a new solution to-a problem as
old as war.
Casey
and many other dogs at Wags for Warriors a non-profit organization in northeast
Ohio, are trained to sense when their veterans（老兵）become
anxious, and to pull them out of panic attacks. That's what a dog named Sophie was
doing as she sat next to her owner and Wags for Warriors co-founder Frank Delorenzo.
Sophie reminds Delorenzo to take his medication, pulls him out of crowded areas,
and wakes him up from nightmares.
Army
veteran Olena Fergurson, who had a brain injury in a plane crash, says, "Before
I got my dog Vata and started my training, I could not attend an appointment. "
Since
October of last year, Delorenzo and his wife have been training and providing service
dogs to these veterans free of charge. They hold training classes between three
and four days each week.
"Some
veterans say that it improves theirquality of life, but we haven't been able yet
to determine whether these dogs provide a medical benefit to veterans with mental
illness, "says Mark Ballesteros, a spokesperson for the U. S. Department of
Veteran Affairs.
Dr.
Heather Axtell, a clinical psychologist, says, "I believe that service animals
provide a lot of comfort. They make people feel more secure, but they can't take
away what happened. Service dogs give veterans companions, and unconditional love.

Instead of escaping the
summer heat in air-conditioning indoors, Mustafa Furkan Ozgener prefers the
sunshine in an experimental seed field of over 200 kinds of melons in Pingluo
County, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Picking melons, weighing
them, observing their growth, tasting, recording and taking pictures, the
31-year-old Turkish man runs his tests on up to 50 kinds of melons every day. "I
love working in the field. Melons are favored in Turkey in the hot summers and
my job here is to choose the best kinds for Turkish customers," he said.
Influenced by his father
who used to do business in China, Ozgener majored in Chinese at university and
therefore expected a journey to China one day. The young man visited China for
the first time as an exchange student in Beijing. Two years later, Ozgener
applied for a master's degree in tourism management at China's Sun Yat-sen
University. Since then, he's traveled around the country to learn about the
colorful Chinese culture and enjoy different dishes. "The more I learn
about China, the more I want to stay here," said Ozgener. He worked as a
translator in Ningxia after graduation.
The company Ozgener works
for now is a scientific and technological enterprise engaged in vegetable
planting, production, promotion, import and export. It has bred over 70 new
varieties of seeds and exported seeds to 27 countries and regions in Asia and
Africa, including the Middle East.
Before the outbreak of
COVID-19, Ozgener would spend two months in Hainan and another four months in
Ningxia to help foreign clients select seeds. Then he would go back to Turkey. But
due to the epidemic (流行病), he has stayed in
Ningxia for more than a year, observing and selecting target seeds in the field
every day.
"I used to do
translation work only, but now I'm also responsible for all the stuff related
to the seeds. It's tiring but rewarding, because I can learn a lot. I will
continue to pursue my dream here," said Ozgener.
21．Why does Ozgener work in the melon field in Ningxia
A．He likes the hot weather there.
B．He prefers eating melons there.
C．He loves working in the field there.
D．His father wants him to work there.
22．What do we know about Ozgener
A．He learned Chinese in Beijing as an exchange student.
B．He worked in the field in Hainan after graduation.
C．He traveled around China the first time he came there.
D．He had a greater interest in China as time went by.
23．What kind of person is Ozgener
A．Hard-working and determined. B．Energetic and patient.
C．Kind and devoted. D．Ambitious and confident.
24．What is the text mainly about
A．A man's wonderful journey to China.

Hans Christian Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a
poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitious (迷信的) and
unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.
Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he
hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with
the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of
the directors helped him by arranging his education.
Andersen gained admission to the University of
Copenhagen in 1828, and his literary career began soon afterwards. He hoped to
achieve success with poems and plays, but underestimated the kind
of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of
children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he
write down the stories he invented.
Many of Andersen's tales are based on
folklore, and many are products of his own imagination. All of them are told in
a humorous and informal style that children loved from the start. Few serious
critics, however, took notice of them when they first appeared.
Before his death in 1875, Andersen regularly
traveled around Europe, and was enthusiastically welcomed everywhere he went.
Because he had always wanted to be famous, he worked hard to gain a reputation
in European literary circles. Being a rather vain man, he complained in "The
Fairy Tale of My Life", one of three autobiographies he wrote, that people
were not interested in his "serious" writing.
Nowadays, of course, Hans Christian Andersen
is a household name. Whether he would have liked it or not, millions of
children and adults will always be grateful for the magic his stories have
brought to their lives.
25．Why did Andersen decide to write down the stories he invented
A．Because he liked his stories.
B．Because he liked children very much.
C．Because people were fond of his "serious" writing.
D．Because he was suggested to do so by one of his friends.
26．What does the underlined word "underestimated" probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Supported. B．Understood. C．Undervalued. D．Reviewed.
27．According to this passage, which of the following words can describe Andersen better
A．Intelligent and honest. B．Creative and determined.
C．Aggressive and curious. D．Generous and outgoing.
28．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Andersen is also a magician.
B．Andersen is still famous now.
C．Andersen didn't like his name.
D．Andersen gave lives to many children and adults.

Peggy
Whitson's job demands a daily two hour workout in a gym where weight has no
meaning and the view changes at 17, 000 miles an hour.
Whitson
makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking
the record last November when she began her third long term stay at the
International Space Station. After
returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut felt matter of fact
about the age milestone(里程碑).
"It
wasn't a record I was seeking for, "Whitson said. "I was 42 and 48
for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do
another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even
on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is
John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's
just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this age".
On
the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water
skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity："It's like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to
worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the
other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for
your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.
It's
a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything
is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again.
Back pain was really the most dramatic
for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.
"
29．What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage
A．Amazing. B．Natural. C．Enthusiastic. D．Unbelievable.
30．How many days did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space Station
A．About 300 days. B．About 708 days.
C．About 107 days. D．About 57 days.
31．According to the passage, which of the following is true
A．Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space, breaking the record.
B．There had been female astronauts flying in space in their 60s before.
C．Peggy Whitson likes swimming most to stay fit on the earth.
D．Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.
32．Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say
A．You can still be successful and do physical things when you get old.
B．I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.
C．The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.
D．I feel lucky that I am physically all right after the whole journey.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了一位创造航天里程碑的女航天员——Peggy Whitson。
【点评】本文涉及推断题和词义猜测题两种常考题型，词义猜测题要通过故事情节、表示并列或转折的词汇等关键词猜测答案；推断题需要对已有信息进行加工处理，推断出需要的信息。
29．词义猜测题。根据划线词的上句话“Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November when she began her third long term stay at the International Space Station惠特森让它看起来很简单。57岁的她是进入太空的最年长的女性，去年11月她在国际空间站开始第三次长期停留时打破了这一纪录”，可知她对于这个年龄的里程碑没有特别的感觉，与natural意思接近，故选B。
30．推断题。根据第二段中的“At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November when she began her third long term stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017”，可知从2016年11月到2017年9月她在太空停留了10个月，故选A。
31．推断题。根据第二段可知，2017年Peggy结束她的第三次太空旅行时，她57岁；根据第三段第二句“I was 42 and 48 for my first two space flights”，可知她的第一次太空之旅是42岁，第二次是48岁，所以第一次是2002年，第二次是2008年，故选D。
32．推断题。根据第三段中的“I don't think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness我认为人们不应该因为年龄而气馁，即使是那些需要一定身体素质的工作”，可知Peggy认为当你变老的时候，你依然可以成功，即便是需要体力的工作，故选A。

When Central
Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due
to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew
knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers
hoped. But still, he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends
on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. "I only
have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,"
he said.
The coronavirus
has affected everyone's life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation
ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships are up in
the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time
of unprecedented (空前的) unemployment rates is no easy task.
Josh Harycki,
17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, who created a "social
distancing pledge" for young people. "I saw a lot of younger generations
not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out
with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were
probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched
a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked
the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate
sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Going
from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated
at home all day wasn't easy," said Harycki. "We've definitely had times
when we feel kind of bored at home," he said. "We are very social beings
and we are used to having that school experience."
Harycki knows
that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way,
so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be
physically distant they are still connected. "Part of what we are highlighting
is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our
map shows that you're not alone," he said.
33．What does "the uncomfortable feeling" in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Andrew missed his friends on the swim team.
B．Andrew would rather go swimming than study at home.
C．Andrew hoped he could learn with his friends on the swim team every day.
D．Andrew felt lonely because of long-term learning at home due to COVID-19.
34．What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "up in the air" in Paragraph 2
A．Certain position is replaced. B．Projects cannot be continued.
C．Plans are developed smoothly. D．Schools are closed for the moment.
35．Which of the following statements about "social distancing pledge" is TRUE
A．It can help young people to get together to watch news.
B．It can offer a site to share young people's school experiences.
C．It can help reduce young students' feeling of loneliness with mapping locations.
D．It can give young people an accurate map when they are going to hang out with friends.
36．What's the best title for this text
A．Social Distancing Pledge for Young Students
B．Young People Fight Against COVID-19
C．A Magical Map for Young Students

【知识点】主旨大意题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，为控制新冠肺炎疫情，学校停学。为了强调隔离的重要性及抵抗孤独感，高中生Josh Harycki在社交媒体上发起了“social distancing pledge”活动。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
33．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“ he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. ‘I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,’ he said.”可知，过去每天和朋友们在游泳队训练时见面，而现在是一个人居家学习，他不喜欢这种感觉。他说在高中总共只有三年时间，看着其中一年这样被浪费感觉很难受。因此，他的“the uncomfortable feeling”指的是由于疫情而长期居家学习的孤独感，故选D。
34．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“The coronavirus has affected everyone's life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled.”新冠病毒影响了每个人的生活，尤其是学生。学校停学了，毕业典礼取消了。因此可推知暑期计划如夏令营和实习也不能按计划继续了，“up in the air”意为计划不能继续，故选B。
35．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who’d signed the pledge.”Harycki在社交媒体上发起了行动号召，然后建立了一个网站，上面有一张地图，可以追踪签署承诺的人的位置；以及最后一段中的“…so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant they are still connected. ‘Part of what we are highlighting is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone,”因此，他创立了保持社交距离的承诺，以强调尽管每个人都可能在身体上保持距离，但他们仍然保持联系。“我们强调的一部分是，你可能觉得自己是唯一认真对待这件事的人，但我们的地图显示，你并不孤单。”可知，Josh Harycki在社交媒体上发起了“social distancing pledg”是为了强调，尽管人们隔离开来了但其实仍是连接在一起的的。他创的带地图的网站会记录那些签署了这项承诺书的人的位置，这地图让人们知道自己并不孤单。所以用地图标出位置可以帮助减少年轻学生的孤独感。故选C。
36．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文报道了在Philadelphia为抵抗新冠病毒传播而停学期间，高中生Josh Harycki为了强调隔离的重要性及抵抗孤独感，在社交媒体上发起了“social distancing pledge”活动的故事。“青年学生社交距离承诺”适合做文章的标题，故选A。

especially for young people experiencing homelessness.

Frankie's dad raised her, and they were very close. When he suddenly passed
away two years ago, Frankie didn't know how she would survive. With no family

helped her find accommodation at Catalyst, one of YouthCare's community living
programs, YouthCare provided a path back to stability. Frankie was thankful to

interview call for a front desk position at a local gym!
Dressed in
green, her dad's favorite color, Frankie entered her interview with confidence.
Noel smiled very happily when Frankie received a second call later that day
with news that she got the job.
Too many
young people come to YouthCare with their own story. Each of them deserves a

Veteran Oksana Chusovitina
ended her legendary career on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic
Games. After failing to secure a spot in Sunday's vault final, the 46-year-old,
representing Uzbekistan, waved to the small crowd inside Tokyo's Ariake Gymnastics
Center, made a heart shape with her hands and briefly cried.
Born in Uzbek capital Tashkent
in 1976, Chusovitina took up gymnastics at age 7, following her older brother into
the sport. "My mother did not want me to do gymnastics, she was worried about
me all the time. I wanted to prove to her that I was not doing it in vain, and I
think I eventually succeeded in that," Chusovitina once said of her childhood.
She made her Olympic debut
(首次亮相) at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part
of the gold medal-winning Unified team, comprised of (由……组成) athletes from former Soviet states.
She then represented Uzbekistan,
before being granted German citizenship in 2006. She took home a vault silver medal
at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan
in 2013. Chusovitina is one of just two female gymnasts to represent three different
nations at the Olympic Games.
When Chusovitina's 3-year-old
son was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, she sold her possessions and used any prize
money she earned to pay for his medical treatment. Her switch to German citizenship
was motivated by the promise of a higher income and better medical care.
After her son's recovery,
Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love of gymnastics that
kept her going. "There is no secret. I just love gymnastics and no one ever
forced me to compete. I do so with pleasure," she said.
With COVID-19 rules keeping
fans out of the venue, Chusovitina admitted the atmosphere wasn't what she had hoped.
"I would have loved to have spectators, she said. "Of course in terms
of performance, it's better when it's just you and the apparatus (器具). But every athlete needs this attention and applause. "
"Maybe Fil skip Paris
(2024 Games), and go to Los Angeles (2028 Games) for the applause," she joked.
At last, she told reporters, "My son is 22 years old and I want to spend time
with him. I want to be a mom."
1．What is implied about Chusovitina
A．She once took home a gold medal in her own right.
B．She started gymnastics to meet her mother's expectations.
C．She preferred no audience when performing during the pandemic.
D．She will probably not compete in the 2028 Olympic Games.

B．Because it would guarantee her a lot of prize money.
C．Because it meant better medical treatment for her son.
D．Because she was granted German citizenship.
3．Which word can best describe Chusovitina as an athlete
A．Diligent. B．Perseverant. C．Talented. D．Ambitious.

2012 was one of the hardest
years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For sea-eras months, I found
it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what
it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.
I cannot remember the reason
why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga studio in east London, where
I signed up for a 3 O-day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated.
What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day, Sometimes, when my
head felt as if it might collapse (崩溃), I went twice
a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was
something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts
inside my mind.
I chose the Bikram method
of hot yoga: It has a set of 26 postured and two breathing exercises performed in
heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury.
In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright (取得版权)
his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram
is not real yoga. Some question the limita-lions of just 26 postured. Others wonder
why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in
those 26 postured freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the
present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.

Working at a bank in
New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life - just not the
life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt
important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Some people seeking
meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks
packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in
Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable (可持续的) living and growing sustainable food. She returned to New York with
a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality.
"One of the
things that really stuck with me from Adamah, which means 'Earth' in Hebrew,
was how they handled the waste they had, primarily through composting (堆肥)，" she says. "And I just thought,
'Why aren't we doing that here "
The Adamah program
opened Sacks' eyes to the damage that consumer culture is doing on a local,
national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2016, she
took a master composting course and started working with a food rescue program,
which she named" trash walking. "
During walks around
her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through garbage to look for reusable items.
Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company trash cans along with
residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great
stuff - like clothing, decorations, plates and food.
Sacks' main focus is
simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy
and then throw away. "Once you become conscious of the way you consume,
you can see ways you improve," she says.
13．Why did Sacks participate in the program Adamah
A．She was concerned about her job.
B．She intended to do volunteer work.
C．She preferred a more meaningful life.
D．She expected to learn living skills.
14．What impressed Sacks most about the program Adamah
A．The way they dealt with the waste.
B．The sustainable food they produced.
C．The importance they placed on farming.
D．The modern lifestyle they stuck to.
15．Which of the following best describes Sacks
A．A farmer. B．A doer. C．A follower. D．A dreamer.
16．What does Sacks suggest people do
A．Take part in trash walking. B．Reflect on consumption patterns.
C．Stop throwing away things. D．Avoid buying new items.

anxious, and to pull them out of panic attacks. That's what a dog named Sophie was
doing as she sat next to her owner and Wags for Warriors co-founder Frank Delorenzo.
Sophie reminds Delorenzo to take his medication, pulls him out of crowded areas,
and wakes him up from nightmares.
Army
veteran Olena Fergurson, who had a brain injury in a plane crash, says, "Before
I got my dog Vata and started my training, I could not attend an appointment. "
Since
October of last year, Delorenzo and his wife have been training and providing service
dogs to these veterans free of charge. They hold training classes between three
and four days each week.
"Some
veterans say that it improves theirquality of life, but we haven't been able yet
to determine whether these dogs provide a medical benefit to veterans with mental
illness, "says Mark Ballesteros, a spokesperson for the U. S. Department of
Veteran Affairs.
Dr.
Heather Axtell, a clinical psychologist, says, "I believe that service animals
provide a lot of comfort. They make people feel more secure, but they can't take
away what happened. Service dogs give veterans companions, and unconditional love.

Instead of escaping the
summer heat in air-conditioning indoors, Mustafa Furkan Ozgener prefers the
sunshine in an experimental seed field of over 200 kinds of melons in Pingluo
County, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Picking melons, weighing
them, observing their growth, tasting, recording and taking pictures, the
31-year-old Turkish man runs his tests on up to 50 kinds of melons every day. "I
love working in the field. Melons are favored in Turkey in the hot summers and
my job here is to choose the best kinds for Turkish customers," he said.
Influenced by his father
who used to do business in China, Ozgener majored in Chinese at university and
therefore expected a journey to China one day. The young man visited China for
the first time as an exchange student in Beijing. Two years later, Ozgener
applied for a master's degree in tourism management at China's Sun Yat-sen
University. Since then, he's traveled around the country to learn about the
colorful Chinese culture and enjoy different dishes. "The more I learn
about China, the more I want to stay here," said Ozgener. He worked as a
translator in Ningxia after graduation.
The company Ozgener works
for now is a scientific and technological enterprise engaged in vegetable
planting, production, promotion, import and export. It has bred over 70 new
varieties of seeds and exported seeds to 27 countries and regions in Asia and
Africa, including the Middle East.
Before the outbreak of
COVID-19, Ozgener would spend two months in Hainan and another four months in
Ningxia to help foreign clients select seeds. Then he would go back to Turkey. But
due to the epidemic (流行病), he has stayed in
Ningxia for more than a year, observing and selecting target seeds in the field
every day.
"I used to do
translation work only, but now I'm also responsible for all the stuff related
to the seeds. It's tiring but rewarding, because I can learn a lot. I will
continue to pursue my dream here," said Ozgener.
21．Why does Ozgener work in the melon field in Ningxia
A．He likes the hot weather there.
B．He prefers eating melons there.
C．He loves working in the field there.
D．His father wants him to work there.
22．What do we know about Ozgener
A．He learned Chinese in Beijing as an exchange student.
B．He worked in the field in Hainan after graduation.
C．He traveled around China the first time he came there.
D．He had a greater interest in China as time went by.
23．What kind of person is Ozgener

Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark,
Hans Christian Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a
poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitious (迷信的) and
unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.
Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he
hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with
the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of
the directors helped him by arranging his education.
Andersen gained admission to the University of
Copenhagen in 1828, and his literary career began soon afterwards. He hoped to
achieve success with poems and plays, but underestimated the kind
of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of
children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he
write down the stories he invented.
Many of Andersen's tales are based on
folklore, and many are products of his own imagination. All of them are told in
a humorous and informal style that children loved from the start. Few serious
critics, however, took notice of them when they first appeared.
Before his death in 1875, Andersen regularly
traveled around Europe, and was enthusiastically welcomed everywhere he went.
Because he had always wanted to be famous, he worked hard to gain a reputation
in European literary circles. Being a rather vain man, he complained in "The
Fairy Tale of My Life", one of three autobiographies he wrote, that people
were not interested in his "serious" writing.
Nowadays, of course, Hans Christian Andersen
is a household name. Whether he would have liked it or not, millions of
children and adults will always be grateful for the magic his stories have
brought to their lives.
25．Why did Andersen decide to write down the stories he invented
A．Because he liked his stories.
B．Because he liked children very much.
C．Because people were fond of his "serious" writing.
D．Because he was suggested to do so by one of his friends.
26．What does the underlined word "underestimated" probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Supported. B．Understood. C．Undervalued. D．Reviewed.
27．According to this passage, which of the following words can describe Andersen better
A．Intelligent and honest. B．Creative and determined.
C．Aggressive and curious. D．Generous and outgoing.
28．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Andersen is also a magician.
B．Andersen is still famous now.
C．Andersen didn't like his name.
D．Andersen gave lives to many children and adults.

Peggy
Whitson's job demands a daily two hour workout in a gym where weight has no
meaning and the view changes at 17, 000 miles an hour.
Whitson
makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking
the record last November when she began her third long term stay at the
International Space Station. After
returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut felt matter of fact
about the age milestone(里程碑).
"It
wasn't a record I was seeking for, "Whitson said. "I was 42 and 48
for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do
another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even
on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is
John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's
just a matter of time before women start flying in space at this age".
On
the earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water
skiing. She shared what it's like to live in microgravity："It's like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to
worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the
other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for
your brain to grasp, but it's amazing how fast you adapt.
It's
a big shock for the body to come back to Earth—everything
is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again.
Back pain was really the most dramatic
for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.
"
29．What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage
A．Amazing. B．Natural. C．Enthusiastic. D．Unbelievable.
30．How many days did Peggy Whitson spend for her third stay in the International Space Station
A．About 300 days. B．About 708 days.
C．About 107 days. D．About 57 days.
31．According to the passage, which of the following is true
A．Peggy Whitson is the oldest person to fly in space, breaking the record.
B．There had been female astronauts flying in space in their 60s before.
C．Peggy Whitson likes swimming most to stay fit on the earth.
D．Peggy Whitson had been in space in 2002 and 2008.
32．Which of the following will Peggy Whitson probably say
A．You can still be successful and do physical things when you get old.
B．I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.
C．The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.
D．I feel lucky that I am physically all right after the whole journey.

When Central
Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due
to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew
knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers
hoped. But still, he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends
on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. "I only
have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,"
he said.
The coronavirus
has affected everyone's life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation
ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships are up in
the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time
of unprecedented (空前的) unemployment rates is no easy task.
Josh Harycki,
17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, who created a "social
distancing pledge" for young people. "I saw a lot of younger generations
not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out
with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were
probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched
a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked
the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate
sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Going
from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated
at home all day wasn't easy," said Harycki. "We've definitely had times
when we feel kind of bored at home," he said. "We are very social beings
and we are used to having that school experience."
Harycki knows
that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way,
so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be
physically distant they are still connected. "Part of what we are highlighting
is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our
map shows that you're not alone," he said.
33．What does "the uncomfortable feeling" in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Andrew missed his friends on the swim team.
B．Andrew would rather go swimming than study at home.
C．Andrew hoped he could learn with his friends on the swim team every day.
D．Andrew felt lonely because of long-term learning at home due to COVID-19.
34．What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "up in the air" in Paragraph 2
A．Certain position is replaced. B．Projects cannot be continued.
C．Plans are developed smoothly. D．Schools are closed for the moment.
35．Which of the following statements about "social distancing pledge" is TRUE
A．It can help young people to get together to watch news.
B．It can offer a site to share young people's school experiences.
C．It can help reduce young students' feeling of loneliness with mapping locations.
D．It can give young people an accurate map when they are going to hang out with friends.
36．What's the best title for this text
A．Social Distancing Pledge for Young Students
B．Young People Fight Against COVID-19
C．A Magical Map for Young Students

The shift
from adolescence (青春期) to
adulthood can be hard and often filled with hardship and lessons learned,
especially for young people experiencing homelessness.
Frankie, a
young woman who feels lucky to have had the caring support from her dad
Frankie's dad raised her, and they were very close. When he suddenly passed
away two years ago, Frankie didn't know how she would survive. With no family
or relatives to take her in, she fell into a depression. She bounced from home
to home, losing trust she'd ever gain stability.
One Friday
afternoon, Frankie sat at a park bench outside of school. As she was worrying
about where she was going to live, she suddenly remembered something her dad
would tell her when she was little.
"Don't
ever give up," said Frankie. "If dad were here, he would tell me
that."
Those
words encouraged her to seek help from Noel, a YouthCare case manager, who
helped her find accommodation at Catalyst, one of YouthCare's community living
programs, YouthCare provided a path back to stability. Frankie was thankful to
have a routine: dish washings after dinner, weekly game nights, and check-ins
with a mental health doctor every Thursday. At Catalyst, Frankie received
consistent support and found additional resources for her mental health care.
Outside of her Thursday appointments, she participated in weekly homework
assignments focused on well-being and goal-setting for the future.
Noel
showed great surprise at Frankie's positive changes with each passing day. She
earned her GED, and it wasn't long before she began searching for her first
job. With the help of Noel, Frankie applied for a handful of positions in
health or fitness. Frankie jumped with excitement when she received an
interview call for a front desk position at a local gym!
Dressed in
green, her dad's favorite color, Frankie entered her interview with confidence.
Noel smiled very happily when Frankie received a second call later that day
with news that she got the job.
Too many
young people come to YouthCare with their own story. Each of them deserves a
path back to stability a stable home, consistent support, and access to
treatment services necessary to become well. Like Frankie, they can imagine new
possibilities and change the course of their own story through encouragement
and treatment.
37．What was the main cause for Frankie's depression
A．Her desire to get a job.
B．Her fear of homelessness.

A．She realized the value of family affection.
B．She had a stable life to achieve her potential.
C．She learned the importance of interview confidence.

At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November when she began her third long term stay at the International Space Station惠特森让它看起来很简单。57岁的她是进入太空的最年长的女性，去年11月她在国际空间站开始第三次长期停留时打破了这一纪录”，可知她对于这个年龄的里程碑没有特别的感觉，与natural意思接近，故选B。

33．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“ he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. ‘I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,’ he said.”可知，过去每天和朋友们在游泳队训练时见面，而现在是一个人居家学习，他不喜欢这种感觉。他说在高中总共只有三年时间，看着其中一年这样被浪费感觉很难受。因此，他的“the uncomfortable feeling”指的是由于疫情而长期居家学习的孤独感，故选D。
