I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake — I had left a window open. I approached my house guest to entertain her by giving her some treats and scratches under her collar.
Just like many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be separate from outside at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit lifted my spirits for the day.
A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Over the next few weeks, Mika would drop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit cheered me up. Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.
While the lockdown has been awful, I doubt I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part.
While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend.
41. What do we know about the cat from the first paragraph
A She entered by the window.
B. She used to go out at night.
C. She annoyed the neighbors badly.
D. She liked the author’s treats particularly.
42. How did the author probably feel at first during the lockdown
A. Moved. B. Cheerful. C. Lonely. D. Angry.
43. How did Mika help the author during the lockdown
A. By bringing food.
B. By serving as a social bridge.
C. By keeping the house clean.
D. By protecting him from dangers.
44. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The open window. B. The lockdown.
C. A need for connection. D. A stay with new neighbors.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The author lives an unusual life. B. The author longs for a peaceful society.
C. Keeping cats is boring. D. Befriending nice cats is worthwhile.
C
We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer, among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research, which followed almost 1, 000 patients with a variety of cancers, found that taking regular resistant starch could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for two years, had a very good effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.
46. What advantage does eating bananas regularly have
A. Have a lower risk of cancer.
B. Avoid developing diseases.
C. Suffer from no stress.
D. Expect a longer life.
47. Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer
A. They contain resistant starch. B. They help discover cancer.
C. They improve a person’s diet. D. They are quite healthy fruit.
48. What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive D. Unclear.
49. What do the experts suggest people do
A. Find hidden cancers. B. Eat green bananas daily.
C. Get enough sleep. D. Take regular exercise.
50. In which column of a newspaper could you probably find the passage
A. Agriculture World. B. Business &Finance.
C. Lifestyle &Fashion. D. Health &Wellness.

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下列短文并回答问题。
When I was a high school student, maths looked like a big mountain for me and several of my classmates. Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher, was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his rules. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and we dared not to ignore any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us couldn’t sit still and seemed restless one day as the mid-term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do,”we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exam. ”“Nothing is impossible. ”Mr. Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here ”We reacted with blank stares.
“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question. “You’ve got stairs to aid your climb. No one expects you to make it in two giant jumps. You just take it step by step. If you stick with it, everything else will work out. Remember, taking it one step at a time, that’s the key.” Then he wrote down an old saying on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. After hearing this, we finally understood his point, seeing him under a new light.”
Most of my classmates achieved excellent grades in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they become hopeful at the prospect of a lighter academic burden

I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake — I had left a window open. I approached my house guest to entertain her by giving her some treats and scratches under her collar.
Just like many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be separate from outside at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit lifted my spirits for the day.
A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Over the next few weeks, Mika would drop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit cheered me up. Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.
While the lockdown has been awful, I doubt I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part.
While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend.
41. What do we know about the cat from the first paragraph
A. She entered by the window.
B. She used to go out at night.
C. She annoyed the neighbors badly.
D. She liked the author’s treats particularly.
42. How did the author probably feel at first during the lockdown
A. Moved. B. Cheerful. C. Lonely. D. Angry.
43 How did Mika help the author during the lockdown
A. By bringing food.
B. By serving as a social bridge.
C. By keeping the house clean.
D. By protecting him from dangers.
44. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The open window. B. The lockdown.
C. A need for connection. D. A stay with new neighbors.
45. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The author lives an unusual life. B. The author longs for a peaceful society.
C. Keeping cats is boring. D. Befriending nice cats is worthwhile.
【答案】41. A 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D

We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer, among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research, which followed almost 1, 000 patients with a variety of cancers, found that taking regular resistant starch could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for two years, had a very good effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.
46. What advantage does eating bananas regularly have
A. Have a lower risk of cancer.
B. Avoid developing diseases.
C. Suffer from no stress.
D. Expect a longer life.
47. Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer
A. They contain resistant starch. B. They help discover cancer.
C. They improve a person’s diet. D. They are quite healthy fruit.
48. What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive D. Unclear.
49. What do the experts suggest people do
A. Find hidden cancers. B. Eat green bananas daily.
C. Get enough sleep. D. Take regular exercise.
50. In which column of a newspaper could you probably find the passage
A. Agriculture World. B. Business &Finance.
C. Lifestyle &Fashion. D. Health &Wellness.
【答案】46. A 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. D
【解析】

【47题详解】

【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.””（纽卡斯尔大学教授约翰·马瑟斯解释说：“事实上，抗性淀粉确实有帮助，它对健康有很多好处，而且比普通淀粉的卡路里更少。”）可知，约翰·马瑟斯认为抗性淀粉有好处，故对其持支持的态度。故选C项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段后二句“In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch.The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft .”（就香蕉而言，专家认为每天吃一根香蕉和摄入一定量的抗性淀粉的效果是一样的。秘诀是在香蕉太熟或太软之前吃。）可知，专家建议在香蕉太熟或太软之前吃，即日常吃绿香蕉，可以产生抗性淀粉，有助于防癌。故选B项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy.

阅读下列短文并回答问题。
When I was a high school student, maths looked like a big mountain for me and several of my classmates. Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher, was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his rules. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and we dared not to ignore any of his homework.
Even so as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us couldn’t sit still and seemed restless one day as the mid-term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do,”we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exam. ”“Nothing is impossible. ”Mr. Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here ”We reacted with blank stares.
“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question. “You’ve got stairs to aid your climb. No one expects you to make it in two giant jumps. You just take it step by step. If you stick with it, everything else will work out. Remember, taking it one step at a time, that’s the key.” Then he wrote down an old saying on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. After hearing this, we finally understood his point, seeing him under a new light.”
Most of my classmates achieved excellent grades in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they become hopeful at the prospect of a lighter academic burden

【答案】Dear Tom,
Knowing that you show great interest in our school activity, I am very pleased to introduce something about it for you.
Our school held a photo exhibition last week, showing us various animals which are becoming endangered for various reasons like illegal hunting and pollution. It was both fascinating and heartbreaking. It not only celebrated the World Animal Day, but also raised our awareness of protecting animals, which was of great benefit to us. The exhibition turned out a great success, which deeply inspired us to take action in protecting them. I hope you can join us for similar events in the future.
