【題目】 Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.

When communicating with each other, cats "talk" with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech", act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voice only to express pain. Unbelievably, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal （聲音的）expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats have developed this "language" to communicate with their human owners.

This fact is shown more clearly when researchers are watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. And when there is only one cat in the room, it is usually very vocal, since the only creature around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.

Since cats have learned to meow（ 喵喵叫） for the only purpose of communicating with human owners, their owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat .wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little "conversation" , the relationship between cats and owners will be closer.

【1】If a cat, together with other cats, finds its body hurts, it may express it with its _______.

A.tailB.eyes

C.headD.voice

【2】When a human enters a room with some cats, what will they do?

A.Stop making any noise.B.Use their tails to show love.

C.Begin .to use vocal expressions.D.Stop communicating with each other.

【3】What are cat owners advised to do?

A.Communicate more with cats.B.Learn to meow in different ways.

C.Encourage cats to talk with each other.D.Teach cats to understand human language.

【4】What is the text mainly about? . .

A.The language of cats.B.Advice on keeping pets.

C.Pets* different expressions.D.Communication among cats.

本文是說明文。許多人認為語言屬于人類。然而，寵物貓已經(jīng)發(fā)展出一種語言，不是為了彼此,而是為了與主人交流。貓的主人應(yīng)花時間了解喵喵叫的含義，多和自己的貓溝通，增加彼此的感情。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean.（既然貓學(xué)喵喵叫的唯一目的是為了和主人交流，那就應(yīng)該花時間去了解它們不同的叫聲意味著什么。）可知作者建議貓的主人應(yīng)花時間了解喵喵叫的含義，多與自己的貓溝通。故選A。

【4】

主旨大意題。第一段However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.（然而，貓已經(jīng)發(fā)展出一種語言，不是為彼此，而是為了養(yǎng)它們當(dāng)寵物的人類。）是全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可知這篇文章主要講了寵物貓已經(jīng)發(fā)展出一種與主人交流的語言。故選A。

【題目】 A desire among many seniors is to “age in place.” Aging in place is a term used to describe a person living in their own house, for as long as they are able to, as they age. Yes, the familiarity of your current home is the advantage of aging in place, but the potential financial drawbacks to renovate（翻新）the house might actually be more costly than the long-term benefits.

40 years ago, with a growing family, you probably purchased a 4-bedroom child-friendly house. Now, with kids moving out, you might be thinking about changing one of your bedrooms into a massive master bathroom, and another into an open-space reading area. You might also be thinking about cutting back on lawn maintenance（草坪維護）by installing a pool surrounded by beautiful paving stones. It all sounds wonderful doesn’t it？For the short term, you may really enjoy the new upgrades, but you’ll still have to climb those stairs, pay to heat and cool a home that’s larger than what you need, and continue fixing all the things that start to go wrong with a 40-year-old home.

Last month, in their Retirement Repot, Kiplinger addressed the point, “Renovations are just a part of what you need to make aging in place work for you. While it’s typically less expensive to remain in your home than to pay for assisted living, that doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk to stay put. You’ll still have a long to-do list. You need to plan ahead for how you will manage maintenance and care-for your home, and for yourself.”

So, at some point, the time may come when you decide to sell this house anyway. That can pose a big challenge if you’ve already taken cash value out of your home and used it to do the type of renovation we mentioned above. The family moving into your neighborhood is probably similar to what your family was 40 years ago.

【1】Why do many seniors want to age in place？

A.They are familiar with the house.B.They can enjoy long-term benefits.

C.They can live as long as they desire.D.They are likely to avoid financial trouble.

【2】What do the seniors renovate the houses mainly for？

A.Preparing for aging in place.B.Making it more energy-efficient.

C.Cutting back on the necessary cost.D.Making full use of the space available.

【3】What is conveyed in the Retirement Report？

A.Aging in place turns out to be very rewarding.

B.Renovating the house calls for a lot of money.

C.Assisted living deserves wider public attention.

D.Aging in place is more than renovating the house.

【4】What can be the author’s advice for those wishing to age in place？

A.Take life as it is.B.Think before you act.

C.Better late than never.D.Enjoy life to the fullest.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

It was a rainy November morning. Overcome with anger I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him.

He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do？I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut.

Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when heart a attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.

The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was hot homecooked meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue: He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret.

Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks.

1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

【題目】 When the Bayside campus of Shekou International School (SIS) are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching activities at the school have been resumed online since Feb. 3rd, 2020.

The school is using popular apps and software for online learning. Video conferencing and office automation are used to help teachers keep track of students’ conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world. Teaching online also offers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.

Staying in Phuket, Thailand, science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a 10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin and the local turtle sanctuary as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade 7 students. “I want to connect our learning with the reality. The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles’ health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be released into the sea in mid-June,” says Laird.

Rebecca Wallace is a Grade 4 teacher at the school, staying in her mother’s home in New York. From 8 p.m. to midnight every day, she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearly around the clock, Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes, family and even pets.

Greg Smith, head of SIS, names the online teaching period a “new normal” at the school. “Students are now more skillful at using technology than before. They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and can use the tools to shrink distance and time. The “new normal” will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions,” he says.

According to the school, 68% of its students are staying in Shenzhen while 27% of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.

【1】Riley Laird records videos on Marlin to ________ .

A.connect learning with the realityB.rescue the endangered turtles

【3】According to Greg Smith, online teaching ________.

A.builds up a new relationship among studentsB.makes teachers step out of their comfort zones

C.results in the skillful use of technologyD.helps create new education system

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To advertise an international school.B.To evaluate the online learning apps.

C.To suggest effective learning methods.D.To introduce online teaching attempts.

And to pursue this call, I decided to specialize in medical science, just like my role models fighting against Covid-19 in Wuhan.

I jumped excitedly with joy at this idea. 【5】, saying that they would be so proud to see me in white. Now, determined to become a healthcare worker, whenever I start my schoolwork, I know I am studying for a noble cause.
