It is hard to say I was a runner years ago. The longest I had ever run was 5 km. What’s more, I didn’t like running. No matter how hard I tried, every so often I would fasten my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, get less than a mile in and wonder why I was bothering, especially when there are many more satisfying ways of exercising.
Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all. But at the end of July, I completed a triathlon(三項全能) after two weeks’ training. At the end of it came the run—which ended up more like a walk. Then I realized something about it attracted me. The extremely painful fun of doing something I hated and was unprepared for turned out to be an excitement. The difficulty felt like something to test my abilities.
When an invitation of the Berlin Marathon dropped onto my desk a few weeks after the triathlon, it felt like a change of fate. After the triathlon, I didn’t say I should start running at once. Was it because I hate running? In fact, in course of running I enjoyed the joy of exceeding my limits. I felt necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. So I said yes.
Training for a marathon often takes at least 20 weeks or more. The training plan becomes something to stop me worrying when the race seems too frightening. This worry feels impossible to avoid, but there is something equally sure about the training plan: if I follow it, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I won’t regret what comes at the end.

A. The special feeling of facing a challenge.

6、Which of the following words can best describe the writer?
A. Patient and pessimistic. B. Courageous and determined.
C. Helpful and persistent. D. Energetic and changeable.
7、What can be learned from the text?
A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
B. Challenge ourselves to live without regrets.
C. Life is full of challenges that can’t be avoided.
D. Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.
In Silent Spring, a book that she referred to as her “poison book”, Rachel Carson revealed the damaging effects of the abuse of chemical pesticides on the environment. She focused mainly on the insecticide DDT, which had been considered “one of the greatest discoveries of World War II” for its ability to kill insects and was routinely used in homes and on crops.
Carson called for much greater caution against this great discovery. Though the scientific community already knew of the dangers, Carson was the first to make the information accessible to a mass audience in her book. “She wrote for the general public, not the scientific community,” says Linda Lear, author of Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature. “Readers, including housewives who used a lot of these chemicals, were shocked at what they learned.”
The public’s first taste of Silent Spring actually came in June 1962 when The New Yorker ran three excerpts(節(jié)選). By the time it was published that fall, it was in such high demand that it became an instant bestseller.
As expected, the reaction from the chemical companies was severe. One industry spokesperson dismissed Carson’s claims as “absurd”. Others accused her of being a terrible woman. The president of the company that made DDT said Carson wrote “not as a scientist, but as a crazy defender of the balance of nature.”
Fortunately, Carson decided the personal risks were worth it. Shortly after her book was published, President Kennedy was asked at a conference if the government would look into the long-term effects of pesticides. He responded, “Yes, and I know they already are. I think, particularly, of course, since Miss Carson’s book.” Just as William Souder, author of On a Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson, says, “Carson changed the conversation about the environment, thinking of humankind as part of nature, not above it.”
8、Who might be the intended readers of Silent Spring?
A. Environmentalists. B. Ordinary people.
C. Scientists. D. Businessmen.
9、What does the underlined word “dismissed” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Criticized. B. Recognized. C. Abandoned. D. Praised.
10、What can we infer from the text?
A. The profit of human beings should come first.
B. Silent Spring enjoyed great popularity before 1962.
C. Carson was the first to discover the danger of DDT.
D. William Souder thinks highly of Carson and her book.
11、What can be the best title for the text?
A. DDT: One of the Greatest Discoveries in the World
B. Rachel Carson: Introducing Readers to the Natural World
C. A “Poison Book”: Awakening the World to the Danger of DDT
D. Silent Spring: Winning the Approval of People from all Walks of Life
One key element of human language is the connection of words with meanings. Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations(發(fā)出的聲音) were involuntary, showing the feelings of the animal without communicating any other information. However, over the last forty years, many studies have shown that different animals have different calls with specific meanings. Interestingly, the most impressive are birds.
Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(捕食性動物). Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their young to lower down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends the young jumping out of the nest completely. And black-capped chickadees change the number of “dees” in their calls to indicate the size and threat of predators.
Besides alarm calls, many bird species use recruitment calls that gather other members of their species. Japanese tits add alarm calls to recruitment calls to create a sort of call to arm, gathering their partner members to attack and drive off a predator. When the birds hear this call, they approach the caller while scanning for danger.
Scientists led by Professor Toshitaka Suzuki of Kyoto University discovered that the order of the combined calls matters to the Japanese tits. When Suzuki’s team played a recorded “alarm+recruitment” call to tits, it gets a much stronger response than a “recruitment+alarm” call. However, this could simply be explained by the birds responding to the combined calls without knowing the parts of the combination, but the scientists tried to clarify this question from different angles.
12、What do we know about animal vocalizations?
A. They are produced unconsciously.
B. They lack meaningful information.
C. They are difficult for scientists to understand.
D. They are connected with particular meanings.
13、How does the writer develop paragraph 2?
A. By the order of time. B. By the order of space.
C. By providing examples. D. By making comparisons.
14、What’s the reaction of Japanese tits to a predator?
A. They jump out of their nests immediately.
B. They change the number of “dees” in their calls.
C. They combine alarm calls with recruitment calls.
D. They approach the predator while looking for danger.
15、What will the text talk about next?
A. Other reasons for the birds’ different responses.
B. Various habits and characteristics of Japanese tits.
C. Diverse combinations of animals’ vocalizations.
D. The importance of the “recruitment+alarm” call.

三、完形填空（15空）
When I started my company, a customer service number was put on the company’s website to better the communication with users. Somehow it rarely rang. So we abandoned it.
However, I thought phone support would have made sense. So, last year, I 1 putting another service number on our homepage.
“Again? We tried this before, but it didn’t work!” they responded, casting 2 on me.
“But companies evolve; circumstances change.” I argued.
Late last year, I convinced my company to give it a shot. So we started a two-week 3 . During the first few days, the volume of calls, around 20 per day, was not much but 4 . Then, over the following days, the volume increased dramatically, which 5 them all. So successful was it that we finally decided to adopt the service phone number 6 .
This experience reminded me of the elephant-and-rope story. Baby elephants were 7 with a small rope. Because they’re too 8 to break free from the rope, they grow up being conditioned that the rope is stronger than they are. So, as adults, they think they can still be 9 by the rope. In my company, those who thought we couldn’t because we once 10 were like a baby elephant who was living with a 11 mindset. They drew a conclusion based on specific 12 , but they forgot to revise it when things changed.
In business, not to mention life, all sorts of invisible mental ropes may hold us back. It results in missed opportunities and wasted 13 . So don’t hold onto the 14 that you can’t grow or learn from past failures. All it takes is 15 eyes to reexamine the situation.

One day an elderly, barefoot postman knocked on the door of a house and said, “Your letters come.” As soon as he said this, a little girl’s voice echoed from inside, “I’m coming now. Please wait.”
But 5 minutes later, no one turned up. The postman said again, “Is there anyone to take your letter? I have many places to go ...”
The girl replied, “Sorry, if you are in a hurry, please put the letter under the door. I am coming; it will take some more time...”
The old postman replied, “No, I have to wait. It’s a registered letter, so someone’s signature is needed.” After about 10 minutes, the door finally opened.
He was about to shout at the girl when he was shocked to find that in front of him was a little, legless girl on a wheelchair. The postman quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left. That day, he got her name Melka.
Melka often lived alone during the daytime, as her mother passed away and her father worked far away with only a maid taking care of her in the morning and evening.
After that day, whenever mails came, the postman would knock and then wait patiently at the door. Little by little, interaction and closeness grew between them. The postman knew that this lonely girl seldom went out and she was crazy about everything to do with nature. Melka also noticed that the postman always came with no shoes. On a rainy day, when the postman left after giving the girl her letter, his footprints were left on the wet soil. Melka came out with a piece of paper, put it on the ground and took down pictures of the feet.
Diwali, known as a festival of lights, was about to come and people were busy preparing gifts for their family and friends. The postman also started thinking that he shouldn’t meet the girl empty handed. After much thought, he decided to give her a special present. But due to his tight budget, he had few choices.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
Suddenly he thought of the wild flowers along the road and an idea struck him.

11、答案：C
解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)首段In Silent Spring, a book that she referred to as her "poison book", Rachel Carson revealed the damaging effects of the abuse of chemical pesticides on the environment. She focused mainly on the insecticide DDT, which had been considered "one of the greatest discoveries of World War II" for its ability to kill insects and was routinely used in homes and on crops.(在《寂靜的春天》這本被雷切爾·卡森稱為"毒書"的書中,她揭露了濫用化學(xué)農(nóng)藥對環(huán)境的破壞性影響。她主要關(guān)注殺蟲劑滴滴涕,它被認(rèn)為是"第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中最偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)之一",因為它有殺蟲的能力,經(jīng)常用于家庭和農(nóng)作物。)可知,本文重點(diǎn)介紹了Carson的《寂靜的春天》一書的內(nèi)容和重要意義,以及人們對這本書的不同看法,該書將近代污染對生態(tài)的影響透徹地展示在讀者面前,給予人類強(qiáng)有力的警示,Carson將此書稱作"Poison Book",所以本文的標(biāo)題為"一本'毒書':喚醒世界注意DDT的危險"概括了全文主題。故選C項。

13、答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Many bird species use different alarm calls for different predators(捕食性動物). Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their young to lower down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends the young jumping out of the nest completely. And black-capped chickadees change the number of “dees” in their calls to indicate the size and threat of predators.(許多鳥類對不同的捕食者發(fā)出不同的警報。在樹洞里筑巢的日本山雀會發(fā)出一種叫聲,讓它們的幼鳥降低高度,以免被烏鴉拉出巢穴,而另一種叫樹蛇的叫聲則會讓幼鳥完全跳出巢穴。黑冠山雀通過改變叫聲中的“度”來表明捕食者的大小和威脅。)可知,本段通過列舉Japanese tits和black-capped chickadees來說明許多鳥類對不同的捕食者使用不同的警報。結(jié)合選項A.By the order of time.按時間順序;B.By the order of space.按空間的順序;C.By providing examples.通過提供例子;D.By making comparisons.通過比較。分析可知,C項符合文意。故選C。
14、答案：C

15、答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最一段最后一句However, this could simply be explained by the birds responding to the combined calls without knowing the parts of the combination, but the scientists tried to clarify this question from different angles.(然而,這可以簡單地解釋為鳥類在不知道組合部分的情況下對組合呼叫做出反應(yīng),但科學(xué)家們試圖從不同的角度澄清這個問題。)可知,后文將繼續(xù)介紹關(guān)于鳥類語言相關(guān)的研究,科學(xué)家們將從其他角度來分析這個問題,即探索鳥類有不同反應(yīng)的背后原因。結(jié)合選項A.Other reasons for the birds' different responses.鳥類不同反應(yīng)的其他原因;B.Various habits and characteristics of Japanese tits.日本山雀的各種習(xí)性和特征;C.Diverse combinations of animals' vocalizations.動物發(fā)聲的不同組合;D.The importance of the "recruitment+alarm" call.“招聘+報警”的重要性。分析可知,A項符合文意。故選A。
16、答案：BDFAC
解析：①細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文Many of us fantasize about waking up in a home close to nature. But nowadays the dream seems even harder to fulfil.(我們中的許多人都幻想著在一個接近大自然的家中醒來。但如今,這個夢想似乎更難實(shí)現(xiàn)了。)以及后文Besides, many people are addicted to the Internet and cellphones, which contributes to the habit of staying indoors.(此外,許多人沉迷于網(wǎng)絡(luò)和手機(jī),這導(dǎo)致了宅在家里的習(xí)慣。)可知,此處是在講述了在一個接近大自然的家中醒來這個夢想更難實(shí)現(xiàn)了的原因,所以B項“無休止的工作使我們遠(yuǎn)離大自然。”符合語境,是在講述原因。故選B項。
②聯(lián)系下文題。根據(jù)后文A study on nearly 5000 participants from 10 countries suggests there's a direct relationship between the time spent in wilder places and the happiness one feels.(一項對來自10個國家的近5000名參與者進(jìn)行的研究表明,在荒野中度過的時間與人們感受到的幸福感之間存在直接關(guān)系。)可知是在講述親近自然的好處,前文是在講述不能親近自然的原因,所以空處應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折,轉(zhuǎn)向述說自然的好處,所以D項“然而,親近自然對我們有很大的好處。”符合語境。故選D項。
③細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文A study on nearly 5000 participants from 10 countries suggests there's a direct relationship between the time spent in wilder places and the happiness one feels.(一項對來自10個國家的近5000名參與者進(jìn)行的研究表明,在荒野中度過的時間與人們感受到的幸福感之間存在直接關(guān)系。)以及后文Whatever we see, hear, and experience outside can lead to a more relaxed body and thus a state of happiness.(無論我們在外面看到、聽到和體驗到什么,都能讓我們的身體更放松,從而達(dá)到一種幸福的狀態(tài)。)可知,接下來應(yīng)該講述這種關(guān)系的具體情況,所以F項“隨著在大自然中的時間增加,幸福程度也會增加?！狈险Z境。故選F項。
④細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文Recently,Covid-19 has forced everyone to change their habits and lifestyles. The virus is more infectious indoors than outdoors, according to scientists. Having access to the outdoors is crucial, particularly in this unprecedented period.(最近,新冠肺炎迫使每個人改變自己的習(xí)慣和生活方式。據(jù)科學(xué)家稱,這種病毒在室內(nèi)比在室外更具傳染性。戶外活動是至關(guān)重要的,尤其是在這個前所未有的時期。)以及后文It's potentially lifesaving.(這可能會挽救生命。)可知,空處和空后的句子是在對本段做總結(jié),所以A項“外出不再只是為了好玩。”和后文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,符合語境。故選A項。
⑤根據(jù)前文The ability to connect with nature and reap its benefits can seem difficult, but it's not impossible.(與自然聯(lián)系并從中獲益的能力似乎很難,但并非不可能。)以及后文Go near the water. Our brains love the water: looking at it, and hearing it can produce happy molecules that only nature can supply. If you still find it hard to get close to nature, you can sip your wine by the open window to feel nature in your surroundings.(去靠近水的地方。我們的大腦喜歡水:看著它,聽著它,可以產(chǎn)生只有大自然才能提供的快樂分子。如果你仍然覺得難以親近自然,你可以在敞開的窗戶邊啜飲葡萄酒,感受周圍的自然。)可知,此處是在講述親近自然的方法,所以C項“這里有一些與大自然親近的簡單方法?！狈险Z境。故選C項。

33、答案：
Labor Creates Happiness
Dear fellow students,
As we all know, labor is glorious, which not only creates wealth, but also brings us happiness and satisfaction. Therefore, with the approach of Labor Day, I’m appealing to all of you to do something meaningful on this special day.
First, it is a good choice to do a thorough cleaning in our campus or at home, which will guarantee you a pleasant environment. You can also experience the hardship of labor and taste the joy of harvest by sowing, weeding, watering and picking in a garden or on a farm. Moreover, my top recommendation is working as a volunteer to help protect the environment, such as cleaning up the park and picking up garbage along the Han River.
Let’s make a practical plan and take action. Wish you a meaningful and happy Labor Day!
The Student Union
34、答案：
Suddenly he thought of the wild flowers along the road and an idea struck him. Why not send her some fresh flowers? On the morning of Diwali, he picked a variety of wild flowers with bright colors, hoping Melka could smell the scent of nature. Then he went to the girl’s house, knocked at the door and waited patiently as usual. “I’m coming,” a familiar voice replied. After about 10 minutes, the girl opened the door and was greeted with a bunch of vibrant wild flowers. “What a beautiful bunch! I love it so much.” Melka said excitedly, struck by its beauty. “Please wait for a while!” She turned around and went into the house.
After a while, she returned with a big box. “This is a gift for you.” In amazement he opened it and there lay a pair of new shoes. Never had he imagined receiving such a thoughtful gift. “Try them on!” To his surprise, the shoes fitted perfectly. Relieved and happy, Melka explained that she had noticed his bare feet and taken down his footprints. With misty eyes, the postman stroked the girl’s hair, saying, “Thank you, Melka. You are really a little angel.” Two kind souls warmed each other on that special day. Sometimes, it’s not the present but the caring attitude that counts.
