Low-cost Gifts for Mother’s Day
Gift No. 1
Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there for all doctor’s visits whether she has a disease or needs a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say there is no need, but another set if eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part? This one is free.
Gift No. 2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what time she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3
Enough sleep is connected with general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”

Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts, 10 percent of whose price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機構(gòu)). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things — many of which are “green” — and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I knew we were already watching our “l(fā)ast runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn’t.
Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飄動) behind her.
I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
24.What does the underlined word “crippled” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Disabled. B.Healthy. C.Perfect. D.Strong.
25.What has the author learnt from the woman?
A.Don’t depend on others when facing hardships.
B.Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough.
C.The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.
D.It’s not winning but finishing the thing we start that really matters.
26.What could be the best title for the text?
A.A Humorous Stranger. B.An Unforgettable Job.
C.The Last Runner. D.The Annual Marathon.
C
Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy?
The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World Health Organization estimates(估計)that 56 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Association say that “natural environments or green spaces” do much good to our mental health.
Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that comes from day-to-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why.
What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London, states, “There have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) environment and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city is, the greater the risk is.” Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country.
Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app called Urban Mind. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban environment affect mental wellbeing(健康).
The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being. They also found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals at greater risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.”
27.Why is the question raised in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the text.
B.To show the background of the text.
C.To ask the readers to learn the study.
D.To raise the readers' interest in happiness.
28.What does Mechelli find during his study?
A.People are attracted by the blue skies and green grass.
B.People are more content with their city life.
C.More and more people are interested in taking risks in cities,
D.City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people.
29.What is expected of the Urban Mind research result?
A.More people will choose to live in the countryside.
B.It will bring more concern about people s mental health.
C.It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.
D.People will be helped to improve their mental illness.
30.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing.
B.City living may be harmful to people’s mental health.
C.Living in the countryside is better than in the city.
D.Different scientists hold different opinions on the effects of city living.

How to Prevent New Corona-virus(冠狀病毒)?
New corona-virus is a member of the corona-virus family that cause conditions like the common cold, SARS and other respiratory(呼吸的) conditions. While new corona-virus can be serious, taking preventative measures can help you protect your health at home.
Wash your hands with soap and water to minimize your infection(感染) risk. __31. Wet your hands with warm water, then apply a mild soap. Work the soap for 20-30 seconds, and then wash your hands clean under warm running water.
Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. You may come into contact(接觸) with the new corona-virus on a surface, like a door handle or countertop. When this happens, the bacteria can stay on your hands, so you can easily infect yourself if you touch your face with dirty hands. __32.
Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing. __33. Additionally, coughing and sneezing both release the virus into the air, so they may increase your risk of infection. Keep your distance from people who appear to have symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.
Disinfect high-touch surfaces daily by using a product that kills viruses. Unfortunately, new corona-virus can stay on surfaces, such as door handles and countertops. _34. Make sure the surface stays wet for about 10 minutes so it effectively kills the virus. This limits the risk of the virus staying on the surfaces and potentially causing an infection.
__35. Information about new corona-virus has spread on social media, sometimes causing unnecessary fear. It’s helpful to fact-check your information before making any decisions.
A.Try not to worry too much if you’re not truly at risk.
B.Don’t run the risk of handling an animal that might be ill.
C.Use a spray disinfectant or wet wipes to clean the surfaces daily.
D.Call your doctor if you suspect that you are hit by new corona-virus.
E. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth in case the virus is on your skin.
F. The best way to prevent new corona-virus is to wash your hands as often as possible.
G. Since new corona-virus is a respiratory infection, coughing and sneezing are common symptoms.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

Dear John,
??? I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from Dou Yin addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about DouYin and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, I think it is a must for you to take action. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face-to-face communication.
??? I sincerely hope that these ideas can help you with the problem.
??? Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time.By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.

Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the U. S and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and it has many types of ecosystems. The best times to visit Yellowstone National Park are from April to May and between September and November. These seasons offer mild weather and fewer crowds. July and August are the most popular months to visit. The kids are out of school, and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. The best way to get around Yellowstone National Park is by car, especially as there is no public transportation system. You can rent a car at any of the nearby airports. However, that doesn’t mean that you should spend your entire vacation behind the wheel. Each of Yellowstone’s eight regions has an area to park, allowing you to leave the car behind and explore by bike or on foot. Entry to Yellowstone costs $15 for visitors aged 16 and older who enter on foot or by bike, $25 for those arriving by motorcycle and $30 for travelers with a car. Yellowstone is prime bear habitat. To avoid an attack, make plenty of noise when hiking to avoid surprise encounters, and secure any food items before calling it a night.
部分解析:
閱讀理解【A篇】
本文是一篇應用文。作者介紹了4則母親節(jié)期間為母親提供的禮物的廣告。Gift No. I關注母親的健康,作母親的健康的朋友,陪母親進行身體檢查;Gift No. 2幫助母親管理好醫(yī)療診斷記錄,列一張藥及喝藥時間的清單;Gift No. 3充足的睡眠對健康很重要,給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭,讓母親睡眠更好;Gift No. 4給母親買有創(chuàng)意的禮物,母親節(jié)期間給母親買禮物,價格的10%將捐助慈善機構(gòu)。
21.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Gift No. 1中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.(不管是疾病檢查還是定期的醫(yī)療檢查,你都一定要陪母親看醫(yī)生。)可知,“Promise to be there”和選項B(Be with her)意思相近,故選B。
22.細節(jié)理解題。由Gift No. 3中"Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep(給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭,讓母親睡眠更好)可知,與本題題干關鍵詞“improve your mother’s sleep”意思相符,其他選項不合題意,故選C。
23.細節(jié)理解題。由Gift No. 4中的最后一句“When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知,當你母親得到這件禮物的時候,她將被告知,她幫助了選定的慈善機構(gòu)。也就是允許母親給予其他人幫助。故選D。
【B篇】
本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述作者作為工作人員參加馬拉松比賽,目睹一位腳有問題的女人堅持跑完馬拉松的過程,并且這個最后一位跑步者一直激勵作者以后生活的道路。
24.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out.她的腳朝里,但左膝朝外。以及后文bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.可知這個女人的腿彎曲,似乎不可能走路,更不用說跑馬拉松了。由此可知,這個女人腿有殘疾,故劃線單詞意思為“殘疾的”。A. Disabled.殘疾的;B. Healthy.健康的;C. Perfect.完美的;D. Strong.強壯的。故選A。
25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is. 可知我不知道這個女人的名字,但從那天起,她就成了我生活的一部分——我經(jīng)常依賴的一部分。對她來說,這不是打敗其他賽跑者或贏得獎品的問題。這是關于完成她已經(jīng)開始做的事情。當我認為事情太困難或者我得到那些“我只是不能做”的時候,我就會想到最后一個跑步者。然后我意識到我面前的任務是多么的簡單。由此可以推斷作者從這個女人身上學到的,不是勝利而是堅持到底才是最重要的,故選D。
26.主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段中When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.可知當我認為事情太困難或者我得到那些“我只是不能做”的時候,我就會想到最后一個跑步者。然后我意識到我面前的任務是多么的簡單。結(jié)合本文主要講述作者作為工作人員參加馬拉松比賽,目睹一位腳有問題的女人堅持跑完馬拉松的過程,并且這個最后一位跑步者一直激勵作者以后生活的道路。所以C選項“最后一位跑步者”為短文最佳標題,更吸引讀者,故選C。
【C篇】
這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了研究發(fā)現(xiàn),城市生活可能對人的精神健康有害,而自然的環(huán)境或綠色空間則對精神健康有好處。
27.推理判斷題。根據(jù)下文的主要內(nèi)容,尤其是第二的The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people.(城市生活可能帶來的精神健康問題影響著很多人)可推測,第一段兩個問題的作用是引出下文關于城市生活可能會影響人精神健康的話題。A. To introduce the topic of the text.(為了引出本文的話題)符合以上說法,故選A項。
28.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country.可知,Mechelli發(fā)現(xiàn)住在城市的人患心理疾病的可能性是住在農(nóng)村的人的三倍。D. City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people.(城市居民比農(nóng)村居民更容易患精神疾病)符合以上說法,故選D項。
29.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.”(“城市思維”項目團隊表示,他們希望“這些結(jié)果將為未來的城市規(guī)劃和旨在改善設計和健康的社會政策提供信息。”)可知,“城市思維”項目的研究成果有望對未來的城市規(guī)劃和社會政策做出貢獻。C. It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.(它將有助于未來城市計劃和社會政策)符合以上說法,故選C項。
30.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容,尤其第二段的The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people.和 People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe.(城市生活可能帶來的精神健康問題影響著很多人。人們通常為了更好的工作和文化活動搬進城市,但他們正在讓自己處于危險中嗎?或許是這樣的)可知,本文主要講述城市生活可能對人的精神健康是有害的。B. City living may be harmful to people's mental health.(城市生活可能對人的精神健康是有害的)符合以上說法,故選B項。

33.上一句提到“遠離咳嗽或打噴嚏的人”,且后句提到“另外,咳嗽和打噴嚏都會將病毒釋放到空氣中,所以它們可能會增加你被感染的風險”,可以推斷此空應為遠離咳嗽或打噴嚏的人的一個原因,G選項“由于新冠病毒是一種呼吸道感染,咳嗽和打噴嚏是常見癥狀?!鼻蓄}。且該選項中的“coughing and sneezing”與上文相對應。故選G項。

【點睛】
七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文詞匯來鎖定線索。即:要關注空白前后的名詞和動詞,然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。其次是一些專有名詞,比如說數(shù)詞、代詞、時間、年代、地點/名稱等。在本文中,第1小題中的“wash your hands”,第2小題中的“your eyes,nose and mouth”,第3小題中的“coughing and sneezing”,第4小題中的“surfaces”均與上下文有相呼應的詞語。

語法填空:
這是一篇說明文,主要介紹了中國北方的食物和飲食習慣。
56.考查名詞。此處的結(jié)構(gòu)為“冠詞+形容詞+所填詞”,故所填詞為名詞,應將動詞原形understand加上-ing變?yōu)閯用~,結(jié)構(gòu)“have a better understanding of”意為“對……有深入的理解”,故填understanding。
57.考查副詞。該句中已有形容詞(的比較級)more acceptable,故應將形容詞general改為副詞,以修飾形容詞,generally意為“一般地,通常情況地,一般來說”,故填generally。
58.考查現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。句意:中國北方有著干冷的冬天和炎熱的夏天,這使得卡路里和鹽分的補充十分重要。該句前半部分為事實的陳述,謂語動詞為experiences,后半部分為結(jié)果狀語,不獨立成句,make不能作謂語。此處應使用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語,表示由前半部分的事實推導出后半部分的結(jié)果,故填making。
59.考查定語從句關系副詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),“dishes are lighter in flavor”為定語從句部分,且句子成分已經(jīng)完整,故對于前面的先行詞the south(表示地點),應使用關系副詞where進行連接,在這里where等于in which,故本題填where。
60.考查名詞。本句中“a variety of”意為“多種多樣的,各種各樣的”,而其所修飾的名詞product為可數(shù)名詞,應使用復數(shù)形式,故填products。

62.考查固定搭配。此處為固定短語“for the purpose of”,表示“為了……,目的是……”,of為介詞,其后接名詞或動名詞,故填of。
63.考查謂語及被動語態(tài)。主語most meat dishes與base構(gòu)成被動關系,be based on意為“基于……,在……的基礎上”,在這里表示這些佳肴是基于后面所列舉的食材制作而成的,且主語為復數(shù),故填are based。
64.考查there be句型。句意:由于寒冷的天氣,新鮮蔬菜的供應變少了。運用there be句型表達客觀世界中事物的存在與否,此處there are less…表示由于天冷,蔬菜少了,又因該空在句首,故填There。
65.考查所有格。句意:西北因它的干果和啤酒而出名。該空之后為名詞短語dried fruit and wine,這些東西是西北的(它的),故代詞it應使用其所有格形式,填its。
