第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
1. What can we know about Rain Water
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
2. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common
A. Farming season. B. Animal activities.
C. Air temperature. D. Frequent thundering.
3. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks
A. Rain Water. B. Grain Rain.
C. Spring Equinox. D. Awakening of Insects.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国24节气中的“雨水”、“惊蛰”、“春分”和“谷雨”这四个节气，让我们进一步了解这四个节气的气候和习俗。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.(随着它的到来，河水解冻，大雁由南向北迁徙，树木和草又变绿了)”可知，雨水之后热闹的春色随处可见。故选C项。
【2题详解】
判断推理题。根据第三段中“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.(这是春季农业活动的关键时期)”可知，惊蛰是农业的关键，以及最后一段第一句“Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land.(谷雨源于古语“雨生百谷”，说明这一时期的降雨对农作物的生长极为重要，人们正忙于耕作)”结合来看，可得知惊蛰和谷雨这两个节气对农业来说都很重要，是耕作的季节。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.(由于土壤干燥，大气不稳定和强风，沙尘暴变得更加频繁)”可推测，在谷雨时沙尘暴经常出现，所以人们最可能需要佩戴口罩保护自己。故选B项。
B
My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I’m only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
4. In what way is Sara different from other kids
A. There’s something wrong with her body.
B. She knows how to play many instruments.
C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
5. When invited to join the marching band, Sara ________.
A. said no at first B. had no idea what to do
C. followed the instructor’s advice D. believed that she would make it
6. How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band
A. Bored. B. Relaxed. C. Successful. D. Afraid.
7. What would be the best title for the text
A. A high school band B. A young drummer
C. The music of me D. My magic hands
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过文章主要讲述了自己虽然身体有残疾但对音乐非常热爱，音乐让她感觉自己和别人没有什么不同。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假手)．(我生来没有手。从我一岁起，我就戴上了义肢)”可知，Sara身体有残疾。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. (我只是想证明我能做到，所以我加入了乐队)”可知，Sara相信自己能够做到，所以就应邀加入了高中的管乐队。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. (当我和乐队在一起的时候，我感觉并不像在其他情况下那么不同)”可知，Sara和乐队在一起的时候觉得自己和其他人没有那么不同。由此推断，她会很放松。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号)．(我叫Sara。当我小的时候，我打鼓。我还有一把吉他。四年级时，我开始吹长号)”和最后一段“It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.(这只是音乐让我想要继续的另一种方式，而不是独自坐下来，不在乎生活)”及全文可知，作者通过文章主要讲述了自己虽然身体有残疾但对音乐非常热爱，音乐让她感觉自己和别人没有什么不同。所以“The music of me(我的音乐)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
C
For many white-collar workers around the world, the recent widespread disease has meant having to work from home.Their usual office location has been out of bounds.This means different working practices, which have advantages and disadvantages for employees.But the big question is will they ever see their offices again
Home working has made people realize what tasks they can perform at home, rather than going regularly to the office to do the same thing.It has given them more time with the family; they've been sleeping better and have saved money by not travelling or buying lunches on the go.And recent evidence suggests the majority of people working from home do as well and achieve as much as before.
For some people, this could be a permanent arrangement.In the UK, fifty of the biggest employers questioned by the BBC, have said they have no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future.Of course, one main reason that firms couldn't see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place.But the BBC also heard that some smaller businesses are deciding to abandon their offices altogether.
Other bigger companies are also looking at winding up offices to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely.Peter Cheese, head of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told the BBC: "We are at a moment of real change in the world of work, driven by big existential crises.”
But this isn't great news for everyone.Some employees can feel lonely at home, and there's less opportunity to network or learn from other people, especially if they're a new worker.Also, city centers may suffer most from a change in working habits.Shops and cafes rely on the footfall of office workers, and without them, they face closure.The future is still uncertain, which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located, But the office of the future may be your home.
8. What's the good news for companies allowing home working
A. They don't pay as many salaries as before. B. They don' t have to pay rent for office.
C. Their employees spend more time with family. D. Their most employees work just as productively.
9. What does the underlined phrase "winding up" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Moving. B. Transforming. C. Sharing. D. Shutting.
10. What is the author's attitude towards working from home
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Casual. D. Favorable.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Changeable working habits B. The end of the office
C. When to return to the office D. Uncertain future of work
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。随着很多办公室被迫关闭，许多人开始了居家办公，这种改变有利有弊，但是办公室的终结是否会到来到现在还未可知。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And recent evidence suggests the majority of people working from home do as well and achieve as much as before.”（最近的证据表明，大多数在家工作的人做得和以前一样好，取得了同样多的成就。）可知，大部分人居家工作做得和以前一样好，取得了同样多的成就，富有成效，这对于允许居家办公的公司而言是好消息。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely”（目的是节省资金，因为许多工作都可以远程完成。）可知，许多工作可以远程完成，不是必须在办公室里完成，推测大公司为了节省资金采取的行动应是关闭办公室，划线短语winding up表示“关闭”，与Shutting同义。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This means different working practices, which have advantages and disadvantages for employees.”（这意味着不同的工作实践，这对员工有好处也有坏处。）以及最后一段“But this isn't great news for everyone.”（但是这并不是对于每一个人而言都是好消息）可知，作者认为居家工作既有利又有弊，不是对于每一个人都是好消息，所以作者对此持有客观的态度。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But the big question is will they ever see their offices again ”（但最大的问题是，他们还会再看到自己的办公室吗？）引出文章主题，居家办公会使得办公室消失吗？以及最后一段“The future is still uncertain, which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located.”（未来仍然是不确定的，这就是为什么现在说我们的办公桌将永久放置在哪里还为时过早。）又一次论述主题，办公室是否会被终结还未可知，前后呼应，所以“办公室的尽头？”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
People with low levels of vitamin D have significantly higher rates of actually every disease you can think of.
Heath experts think most of us don’t get enough of it. Vitamin D is produced by skin with the help of sunlight. It is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities just through diet. And today, 90% of us spend about 18 hours indoors every day. And even when we do go outside, we are armed with sunscreen to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays, which greatly decreases our natural production of vitamin D. That's why people are told to make up with vitamin pills.
The sun benefits us more than that. About ten years ago, Dr Richard Weller researched nitric oxide, a molecule (分子) produced in the body that lowers blood pressure. He discovered a previously unknown biological mechanism by which the skin uses sunshine to produce nitric oxide. It was already suspected that rates of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke are higher if you are farther from the sunny equator. So are they in the darker months. Then he put forward a theory: could exposing skin to sunlight lower blood pressure
Sure enough, when he exposed volunteers to 30 minutes of summer sunlight without Sunscreen, their nitric oxide levels went up and their blood pressure went down. Wouldn’t all those rays raise rates of skin cancer Yes, but skin cancer kills surprisingly fewer than three per 100,000 in the United States each year. For every person dying of skin cancer, about 80 die from diseases caused by high blood pressure.
12. Why do most people lack vitamin D
A. We don’t take enough vitamin D pills.
B. We expose ourselves to little sunlight.
C. We consume little food containing it.
D. We don’t use sunscreen right in the sun.
13. What do you know about nitric oxide
A. It can bring nothing but harm to us.
B. It results from an abnormal biological reaction.
C. Its level is high among people near the equator.
D. Its level rises up during dark months.
14. What can you learn from the last paragraph
A. Exposing to the sunshine can lower nitric oxide levels.
B. Sunscreen doesn’t affect the level of nitric oxide.
C. 100,000 people in the U. S die of skin cancer every year.
D. High blood pressure causes more deaths than skin cancer.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Sunshine matters a lot to our health.
B. Vitamin D can’t go without suns hine.
C. Sunscreen protects us from skin cancer.
D. Heart illness is more deadly than skin cancer.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太阳对我们身体的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And today, 90% of us spend about 18 hours indoors every day. And even when we do go outside, we are armed with sunscreen to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays, which greatly decreases our natural production of vitamin D. (今天，90%的人每天在室内待18个小时。即使当我们外出时，我们也会带着防晒霜来保护自己免受有害的紫外线的伤害，而紫外线会大大减少我们的天然维生素D的生成)”可知，因为我们大部分人在阳光下的时间少，所以我们大部分缺少维生素D。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“About ten years ago, Dr Richard Weller researched nitric oxide, a molecule (分子) produced in the body that lowers blood pressure.(大约十年前，理查德·韦勒博士研究了一氧化氮，这是体内产生的一种降低血压的分子)”和“It was already suspected that rates of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke are higher if you are farther from the sunny equator. (人们已经怀疑，如果你远离阳光充足的赤道，高血压、心脏病和中风的发病率会更高)”可知，一氧化氮有助于降低血压，而远离赤道的人容易得高血压，说明他们体内的一氧化氮的含量低，由此推知，在赤道附近人群不容易出现高血压，因为他们身体内一氧化氮含量相对较高。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For every person dying of skin cancer, about 80 die from diseases caused by high blood pressure.( 每一个死于皮肤癌，就有大约80人死于高血压引起的疾病)”可知，高血压比皮肤癌导致的死亡人数更多。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第二段“Vitamin D is produced by skin with the help of sunlight.( 维生素D是皮肤在阳光的帮助下产生的)”和第三段“The sun benefits us more than that.( 太阳对我们的好处不止于此)”可知，本文主要讲述了阳光对我们的健康很重要。故选A。
第二节（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The comfort zone is a safe space where we don’t risk, but neither do we grow. ____16____ Change and growth occur. We can not become what we want to be, remaining in what we are today. There are many good reasons to be encouraged to leave the comfort zone.
Prepare yourself for difficult times. Safe as we feel in our comfort zone, that space will not protect us from the problems, which usually appear in life in an unexpected way producing great changes. ____17____ These problems can produce psychological disorders. But learning to live outside the comfort zone, dealing with novelty and uncertainty will make us people emotionally stronger.
____18____ The comfort zone represents everything we know. Outside is another world to discover. In the comfort zone there are no great ideas or new discoveries. It’s necessary to leave the known to find the inspiration to creativity. In fact, a study conducted at the University of Florida found that students who spent just one term outside their country scored better on creativity tests than those who had been studying at the same university.
Feel more alive. Leaving the comfort zone, we meet new people and live new experiences. Some of these experiences will not be positive but others will become a driving force that gives us new energy. Thus we’re learning to enjoy more life. ____19____
Exercises to get out of your comfort zone will allow you to expand your growth zone without experiencing too much anxiety. ____20____ That’s in the growth zone, and you can reach the best of ourselves, learn new things.
A. Become more productive.
B. Increase your creativity.
C. Generally, we are not used to them.
D. Yet magical things happen outside the comfort zone.
E. It might become the perfect excuse not to do, not risk.
F. Face new challenges with an acceptable level of anxiety.
G. The feeling of being empty will be discovered to disappear.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇议论文。舒适区是一个我们无需冒险，但也不能让我们成长的安全空间。作者认为我们应该走出自己的舒适区，并列举了若干理由。
【16题详解】
根据上一句的“The comfort zone is a safe space where we don’t risk, but neither do we grow. ”（舒适区是一个安全的空间，在那里我们不会冒险，但也不会成长。）和下一句的“Change and growth occur. ”（改变和成长发生了。）可知，空处应为转折关系，提到了舒适区之外的空间，在那里可以产生改变和成长，所以选项D（然而，神奇的事情发生在舒适区之外。）符合语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上一句的“Safe as we feel in our comfort zone, that space will not protect us from the problems, which usually appear in life in an unexpected way producing great changes. ”（尽管我们在舒适区感到安全，但这个空间不会保护我们免受问题的困扰，这些问题通常以意想不到的方式出现在生活中，会产生巨大的变化。）和下一句的“These problems can produce psychological disorders. ”（这些问题会导致心理障碍。）可知，空处应该还是在讲述这些问题；选项C（通常，我们不习惯它们。）中的“them”指代“the problems”，衔接合理，引出下文讲这些问题会产生不良后果。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“It’s necessary to leave the known to find the inspiration to creativity. ”（有必要离开已知的事物去寻找创造力的灵感。）和后面提到的“creativity tests”可知，在本段中作者认为人们应该走出舒适区，增进自己的创造力；空处为段首句，是本段的主旨句，选项B（提升你的创造力。）符合本段表达的主要思想。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据本段主旨句“Feel more alive.”（感觉更有活力。）以及空处前一句“Thus we’re learning to enjoy more life.”（因此，我们学会了享受更多的生活。）可知，走出舒适区会让我们感觉生活更有意义；选项G（空虚的感觉会被发现消失了。）进一步补充说明了感觉更加有活力，承接上文，符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
上一句“Exercises to get out of your comfort zone will allow you to expand your growth zone without experiencing too much anxiety.”（走出舒适区的锻炼可以让你在不经历太多焦虑的情况下扩大自己的成长空间。），选项F（以可接受的焦虑程度面对新的挑战。）中的“new challenges”（新的挑战）与“Exercises to get out of your comfort zone”所指一致；“an acceptable level of anxiety”是指“可以接受的焦虑程度”，即不会过于焦虑，与上文“without experiencing too much anxiety”；所以选项F较好地承接了上文，符合语境。故选F。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与去年只有一枚邮票不同，这次有两枚，每枚都描述了不同的场景。分析句子结构，本句中包含独立主格结构，空白处与其逻辑主语each(每张邮票)之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填describing。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：第一枚邮票名为“国运昌隆”。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做谓语且与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因句子表达的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时的被动语态，因主语为单数，故填is named。

【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：邮票设计师冯大中说，邮票设计不仅是一种艺术创作，而且是一种社会责任，作为一名艺术家，他有责任勇敢地承担这项工作。空白处在宾语从句中作表语，根据不定冠词an可知，使用名词creation的单数形式，故填creation。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据下文“an artist(一个艺术家)”可知这是对邮票设计师冯大中的尊称，可推理出空白处应填表示“作为”含义的介词，故填as。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语使用副词，故填bravely。
【45题详解】

Although Emily’s singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said. “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too frightened to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”

A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
1. What can we know about Rain Water
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
2. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common
A. Farming season. B. Animal activities.
C. Air temperature. D. Frequent thundering.
3. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks
A. Rain Water. B. Grain Rain.
C. Spring Equinox. D. Awakening of Insects.
B
My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practiced about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics (假手).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I’m only in seventh grade, but probably because my body is different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my mp3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, “OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are to a measure. I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
4. In what way is Sara different from other kids
A. There’s something wrong with her body.
B. She knows how to play many instruments.
C. She learned to play the drums at a very early age.
D. She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.
5. When invited to join the marching band, Sara ________.
A. said no at first B. had no idea what to do
C. followed the instructor’s advice D. believed that she would make it
6. How does Sara probably feel when she’s with the band
A. Bored. B. Relaxed. C. Successful. D. Afraid.
7. What would be the best title for the text
A. A high school band B. A young drummer
C. The music of me D. My magic hands
C
For many white-collar workers around the world, the recent widespread disease has meant having to work from home.Their usual office location has been out of bounds.This means different working practices, which have advantages and disadvantages for employees.But the big question is will they ever see their offices again
Home working has made people realize what tasks they can perform at home, rather than going regularly to the office to do the same thing.It has given them more time with the family; they've been sleeping better and have saved money by not travelling or buying lunches on the go.And recent evidence suggests the majority of people working from home do as well and achieve as much as before.
For some people, this could be a permanent arrangement.In the UK, fifty of the biggest employers questioned by the BBC, have said they have no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future.Of course, one main reason that firms couldn't see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place.But the BBC also heard that some smaller businesses are deciding to abandon their offices altogether.
Other bigger companies are also looking at winding up offices to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely.Peter Cheese, head of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told the BBC: "We are at a moment of real change in the world of work, driven by big existential crises.”
But this isn't great news for everyone.Some employees can feel lonely at home, and there's less opportunity to network or learn from other people, especially if they're a new worker.Also, city centers may suffer most from a change in working habits.Shops and cafes rely on the footfall of office workers, and without them, they face closure.The future is still uncertain, which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located, But the office of the future may be your home.
8. What's the good news for companies allowing home working
A. They don't pay as many salaries as before. B. They don' t have to pay rent for office.
C. Their employees spend more time with family. D. Their most employees work just as productively.
9. What does the underlined phrase "winding up" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Moving. B. Transforming. C. Sharing. D. Shutting.
10. What is the author's attitude towards working from home
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Casual. D. Favorable.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Changeable working habits B. The end of the office
C. When to return to the office D. Uncertain future of work
D
People with low levels of vitamin D have significantly higher rates of actually every disease you can think of.
Heath experts think most of us don’t get enough of it. Vitamin D is produced by skin with the help of sunlight. It is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities just through diet. And today, 90% of us spend about 18 hours indoors every day. And even when we do go outside, we are armed with sunscreen to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays, which greatly decreases our natural production of vitamin D. That's why people are told to make up with vitamin pills.
The sun benefits us more than that. About ten years ago, Dr Richard Weller researched nitric oxide, a molecule (分子) produced in the body that lowers blood pressure. He discovered a previously unknown biological mechanism by which the skin uses sunshine to produce nitric oxide. It was already suspected that rates of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke are higher if you are farther from the sunny equator. So are they in the darker months. Then he put forward a theory: could exposing skin to sunlight lower blood pressure
Sure enough, when he exposed volunteers to 30 minutes of summer sunlight without Sunscreen, their nitric oxide levels went up and their blood pressure went down. Wouldn’t all those rays raise rates of skin cancer Yes, but skin cancer kills surprisingly fewer than three per 100,000 in the United States each year. For every person dying of skin cancer, about 80 die from diseases caused by high blood pressure.
12. Why do most people lack vitamin D
A. We don’t take enough vitamin D pills.
B. We expose ourselves to little sunlight.
C. We consume little food containing it.
D. We don’t use sunscreen right in the sun.
13. What do you know about nitric oxide
A. It can bring nothing but harm to us.
B. It results from an abnormal biological reaction.
C. Its level is high among people near the equator.
D. Its level rises up during dark months.
14. What can you learn from the last paragraph
A. Exposing to the sunshine can lower nitric oxide levels.
B. Sunscreen doesn’t affect the level of nitric oxide.
C. 100,000 people in the U. S die of skin cancer every year.
D. High blood pressure causes more deaths than skin cancer.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Sunshine matters a lot to our health.
B Vitamin D can’t go without suns hine.
C. Sunscreen protects us from skin cancer.
D. Heart illness is more deadly than skin cancer.

Although Emily’s singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said. “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too frightened to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
