66．Dear Peter,
How time flies! My senior school life begins.
It has been about two months since I came to my school, whose environment left a deep impression on me. First of all, the teaching buildings are tidy and clean with a computer equipped in every classroom, in which we students can study happily and attentively. In addition, libraries, labs as well as playgrounds are also suitable for the balanced development of students. Besides, all my classmates are hard-working and ready to help others when someone is in trouble. Although there is more knowledge and we are supposed to study harder and develop good studying habits, we all have confidence in making great progress.
In a word, I have adapted to my life in high school. There is no doubt that I will make more efforts to learn hard. Only in this way can I be admitted into my ideal university.
Yours
Lihua
67．“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn’t need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.”
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.

On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.
Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr Green. Mr Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.

For people suffering from depression, there’s an all-natural treatment they should use—getting more exercise. It could help fight depression, even if people have a genetic risk, new research shows.
For the study, researchers collected information from nearly 8,000 people and found those with related genes were more likely to have depression over the next two years after examining them. But that was less likely for people who were more active at the study’s start, even if they had a family history of depression. Higher levels of physical activity helped protect even those with the highest genetic risk of depression.
Both high-intensity (高强度) exercise and low-intensity activities were associated with a reduced risk of depression. Adding four hours of exercise a week could lower the risk of a new episode (一段经历) of depression by 17%, according to the study. “Our findings strongly suggest that, when it comes to depression, being physically active has the potential to remove the added risk of future episodes in individuals who are genetically risky,” said lead author Karmel Choi. “On average, about 35 additional minutes of physical activity each day may help people to reduce their risk and protect against future depression episodes.”
Depression is a common mental illness globally, with more than 264 million people affected. “Depression is so ubiquitous, and that underlines the need for effective approaches that can impact as many people as possible,” Choi said. And mental health and primary care providers can use the findings to advise patients that there’s something meaningful they can do to lower their risk of depression.
28．How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A．By analyzing a mass of data. B．By conducting genetic research.
C．By comparing various levels of activity. D．By tracking the subjects for many years.
29．What does the study show about depression
A．Physical activity betters medical treatment.
B．Exercise is able to decrease and prevent it.
C．Different levels of exercise intensity matter the same.
D．Exercising 35 minutes daily is the most effective treatment.
30．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Harmful. B．Unusual.
C．Common. D．Complex.
31．What is the purpose of the text
A．To discuss a disease of depression. B．To explain a phenomenon of depression.
C．To analyze a genetic risk of depression. D．To introduce a method to lower the risk of depression.
D
Killer whales(虎鲸), also known as orcas, are known for their severe attacks(攻击) on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46 foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate (旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spain’s government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60 mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring.
Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas’ behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna—the orcas’ primary food source—which has left the area’s killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages,” says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA．The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.
However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas took to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.
32．What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1
A．They are friendly to humans. B．They have changed their behavior.
C．They are famous for hunting skills. D．They have met tough living conditions.
33．Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents
A．Ken Balcomb. B．The environmentalists.
C．Alfredo López. D．Spain’s government.
34．What do the underlined words “the agitation” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．The attacks. B．Food shortages.
C．The overfishing. D．Human activity.
35．What is the main idea of this passage
A．A disagreement between scientists.
B．Possible reasons why killer whales are attacking boats.
C．The results of the change of the behaviors of killer whales.
D．Spanish government’s effort of protecting the fishing boats.

Youth Exercise and Fitness

A．Fortunately, it doesn’t matter
B．Regular exercise is good for kids

The first foreign language I studied was French, and I learned it at a secondary school between the ages of 11 and 18. It was a compulsory subject for the first three years and I 56 (choose) to continue studying it afterwards because I enjoyed it, found it 57 (interest) and was quite good at it.

French is used as a second language in Morocco and quite a few places 62 a lot of tourists visit. Thus, my French has been of great help to me when I was on holiday in Morocco and Portugal.

第二节（满分25分）读后续写
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe ” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said.

I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.
