15、mies, and caused illness and deaths. In spite of the fear and uncertainty, a silver lining has come out: People want to help. Andrea Pien, a 33-year-old teacher at a high school in California, worked at home because the states schools were closed. She had meetings with her students using Google Hang
16、outs. As someone who received great wealth from her father, she believed it was important to give back especially when times were tough. So far, she has given away about $400 to her neighbors and expects more to come.Pien is a member of Resource Generation, an organization of “young people with weal
17、th”, who work on the fair distribution (分发) of wealth, land and power. At first she was advised to do so by her friend Jonah, whom she met through the group. She quickly started on Facebook but realized that many of her Facebook friends were people she grew up with. So she posted on Nextdoor and soo
18、n her neighbors got in touch with her. They didnt get a regular paycheck or have much money. “Many people are workers in restaurants or the service industry or bars, and their hours have been cut,” she said.When a reporter asked Pien if there was anything she wanted to share as this crisis (危机) aros

( C )Marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) like whales and seals (海豹) usually communicate using calls and whistles. But now a Monash University-led international study has discovered that wild gray seals can also cl
23、ap their flipper (鳍) underwater during the breeding season.This is the first time a seal has been seen clapping completely underwater using its front flippers. “The discovery of clapping seals might not seem that surprising. After all theyre famous for clapping in zoos and aquaria,” said the lead au
24、thor of the study Dr David Hocking from Monash University. “While zoo animals are often trained to clap for our entertainment, these grey seals are doing so in the wild of their own accord.”“Depending on the context, the claps may help ward off competitors and/or attract potential mates,” Dr Hocking
25、 said. “Think of a chest-beating male gorilla, for example. Like seal claps, those chest beats carry two messages: I am strong stay away; and I am strong my genes are good.”The research, published in the journal Marine Mammal Science, is based on video footage collected by naturalist Dr Ben Burville
26、, a visiting researcher with Newcastle University, UK. The footage, which took Dr Burville 17 years of diving to catch on film, shows a male grey seal clapping its paw-like flipper to produce a gunshot-like sound. “The clap was incredibly loud and at first I found it hard to believe what I had seen,
27、” Dr Burville said.According to Dr Hocking, clapping seals show just how much there still is to learn about the animals living around us. Clapping appears to be an important social behaviour for grey seals, so anything that disturbs it could impact breeding success and survival of this species. “Hum
28、an noise pollution is known to interfere with other forms of marine mammal communication, including the whale song,” Dr Hocking said. “But if we do not know the existence of a behaviour, we cannot easily act to protect it.” So understanding the animals around us better may just help us protect them,
29、 and their way of life.28. What did the new study mainly find?A. Grey seals can be trained to entertain.B. Marine mammals can make sounds underwater.C. Seals can use whistles and calls to communicate.D. Wild gray seals can make sounds underwater with their flippers29. According to Dr David Hocking,
30、why do seals show such a behaviour?A. To show their strength to others. B. To attract potential competitors. C. To copy the habits of gorillas. D. To see if theyre strong.30. How did Dr Ben Burville react to the seals behaviour? A. He got very surprised. B. He was a bit frightened by it.C. He consid
31、ered it normal in the animals. D. He was worried about what he had seen.31. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Humans cannot protect animals wellB. Its important to know well about animals around us.C. Marine mammals are greatly affected by humans.D. Humans can never completely know about
32、 animals. ( D )At a rehabilitation center (康复中心) in Shanghai, a mini talent show is about to begin. Eight dogs and their owners are lined up outside a small function room, waiting for their names to be called. One by one, the dogs go into the room and perform a series of tricks: shaking hands, jumpi
33、ng through rings, and pretending to pray. Before long, they win over the small group of children sitting in a huddle on the floor. This show is a fun morning distraction with a serious therapeutic goal. The 10 kids in the audience all have autism (自闭症), and the therapy dogs are here to help them fee
34、l comfortable and become more open to communicating with others. “The talent shows are the fastest way to get close to autistic children,” says Wu Qi, founder of Paw for Heal. “Only when the children like dogs can the first step towards treatment be taken.Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a relativel
35、y new phenomenon in China, and promoting AAT in China has been a years-long passion project for Wu. But convincing parents and schools to accept AAT has been a challenge. “Many worried the dogs would hurt the children,” Wu says. However, after eight years of continuous effort, Wus beginning to make
36、headway. In April, celebrity livestreamer Li Jiaqi shared videos of his pets training at Wus therapy dog academy with his 17 million fans on the social platform, introducing many to AAT. For Wu, the support has been a game-changer. Before Lis intervention, Paw for Heal had nearly 90 certified therap
37、y dogs on its books, serving autistic children in 10 cities across China. In the following weeks after that, over 1,000 dog owners signed up their pets to the program. When the first therapy dog walks into the room, an 8-year-old boy squeezes his eyes shut and covers his ears with his hands while th
38、e other children and their parents cheer. Shi Cui, the centers director, gently encourages him to open up. “I tell him how cute the dogs are and try to remove his hands,” she says. When the third dog enters, the boy raises his hands, asking to pet the animal. When the talent show is over, the childr
39、en are divided into pairs, stroking and playing with the therapy dogs under the supervision (监督) of Wu and other volunteers. After a few minutes, several children who began the session with crying and screaming ask to walk the dogs in the corridor. The sessions are designed to treat common issues as
40、sociated with autism, Wu explains. Children with autism typically have difficulty fully opening their hands. So, before they pet the dogs, volunteers ask them to hold their palms out flat and place food on their palms to feed the animals. “This way, children can take the initiative to exercise their
41、 nerves and muscles,” says Wu. Similarly, the volunteers ask the children to make eye contact with them before theyre allowed to pet the puppies, to help reduce their aversion to looking people in the eye. 32. What is the purpose of the show mentioned in the beginning? A. To teach dogs to get along

45、erformance can be influenced by their sugar consumption in a few ways. One problem is that consuming a lot of sweet foods fills up the body with empty calories (无营养卡路里). This means that children who eat sugar arent eating enough healthy foods to give their brain and body the nutrients they need to w

65、。Ive had the pleasure and good fortune to live and work in several countries as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. During one assignment (分派的任务), I lived in Prague in the Czech Republic. I often took weekend trips to nearby cities to explore the countryside.One weekend, I took a three-ho
66、ur bus ride to visit a city with a fine castle and wonderful museums. Before I got off the bus, I checked the schedule in order to come back to the station timely; I was only planning a day trip and did not intend to stay overnight.After a wonderful day seeing the sights, I had a brief dinner and ha
67、d plenty of time to walk the half mile to catch the 6:15 bus. When I got there, no one was in line for the bus to Prague. Finally, I discovered the last bus for the day had left at 5:15.This was a serious problem. About a month earlier, my pocket was picked and I lost about $1,000. To avoid having t
68、he same thing happen again, I only carried enough cash to cover my expenses for the day. I certainly did not have enough money to stay in a hotel. But with no transportation to Prague and being a positive person, I decided to try asking.I first found the Youth Hotel, but it was completely full. Sett
69、ing aside 5 Crowns for the bus fare, I had 9 Crowns to spend. Every hotel I tried to check into charged 22 to 25 Crowns, until I had only one more recommendation. If it was too expensive, Id have to spend the night on a park bench, an uncomfortable idea for someone almost 60 years old. The hotel loo
70、ked much nicer than I expected. It would surely cost more than 9 Crowns. The desk clerk spoke some English, so I told her my story. Paragraph 1:The clerk listened carefully, and then asked me to wait. _Paragraph 2:I was deeply moved by the managers kindness and generosity. _ _. 答案 第I卷 （选择题 共95分）第一部分

They have different ideas about the same topic, and even have different types of friendsh
73、ips. It seems that girls always have a lot to talk about with their best friends. They have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together such as travelling and shopping. However,boys share little about their feelings with each other. Friendships between boys are based on shared act
74、ivities or interests. Boys share activities, while girls share feelings. No matter what these friendships are based on, remember that both of them are friendships. We all need friends and we all must remember those whom we loved and those who loved us in our lives. 第二节： 读后续写：写作提示：本文主要讲述了作者在布拉格当老师时，有
75、一次去周边的一座城市旅游没能赶上最后一趟回来的公交车的故事。根据续写第二段的首句我们可以推断：作者找到了一家旅馆并住了下来，所以续写第一段围绕作者和旅馆相关人员的沟通展开。作者如何说服旅馆人员在自己没有足够钱的情况下让自己住下来？作者住下来之后旅馆人员是怎么样服务作者的？续写第二段首句提示作者被旅馆经理的热心和慷慨打动了。由此可以推断，本段围绕作者的内心活动展开。作者回到布拉格以后该如何感谢这位经理呢？One possible version: The clerk listened carefully, and then asked me to wait. A woman came out a
76、nd introduced herself in very good English. She was the hotel manager and asked what she could do to help me. Again I told my story and made an offer. I promised if I could stay overnight, I would give her 9 Crowns and mail the rest to her the next day. She said I was welcome to stay, and that she w
77、ould accept what I had in my pocket as the total payment for a room. Then she added, “If you need some money for dinner, I will be very happy to give you some of my own so that you can have a proper meal.” I was deeply moved by the managers kindness and generosity. I could hardly express my deepest
78、gratitude. As a result, I spent the night in a clean and tastefully-decorated room, rather than on a cold, hard park bench. As soon as I got back to Prague, I wrote the manager a note of thanks for her thoughtfulness. She reminded me that kindness and unselfishness are international characteristics. It has been the most wonderful trip for me so far!
