I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.
Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the
more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d
said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I
wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the
surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in
careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I
couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to
make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen
work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter,
folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder
than words.
4. The passage shows that ______.
A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. mother cared much about her daughter in words
D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂5. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.

D part of the sea going far in land

B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?

C. My mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me

Scientists have discovered that rats have adapted to modern human life, even adapting their diets to the cities
they live in.
The scientists claim that it could be possible that humans and rats have had similar changes in their genetic
make-up, due to modern city life. The downside of the changes in the DNA is that they could make rats susceptible
to the same health problems as humans, such as pollutants and sugary foods.
The study showed that rats’ diets have also adapted to their environment. In New York, you can see them eat
bagels and beer; in Paris, they like croissants and butter. They adapt in amazing ways. The scientists also analyzed
the genomes (基因组)of 29 New York rats and compared them with those of nine brown rats from Heilongjiang
Province, north-east China. The finding showed that dozens of rat genes had been through major DNA changes
over the centuries, as the rats spread from Asia to Europe and America, and from the countryside and into cities.
The changed genes were associated with diet, behavior, and movement, which added pressures and challenges
for the rat to overcome. This could reflect the fact that urban rats have to move through highly artificial
environments that are very different from natural habitats. So these gene changes might have evolved to help them
move more easily through underground channels and pipes.
As the rats are closely associated with city-living humans, the scientists believe that it is possible that similar
changes have happened in both species.
In October 2019, scientists used rats to successfully test an enzyme(酶) that could be used to help people quit
smoking. Two groups of rats were trained to self-administer nicotine, and over two weeks their nicotine intakes
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂increased, suggesting addiction. Then, one group of rats was given the enzyme, which led to a decreased nicotine
intake. The scientists say that the enzyme could be developed for human use in the future.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “susceptible to” in paragraph 2?
A. Not likely to be cured of. B. Being disease-resistant to.
C. Very likely to be affected by. D. Being thoroughly exposed to.
9. What does the author intend to show in the third paragraph?
A. Rats in the city are particular about their food.
B. Rats in different cities have different genetic make-up.
C. Rats are distributed in every continent of the earth.
D. Rats have been adjusting themselves to the environment.
10. What is the purpose of testing an enzyme on rats?
A. To explore rats’ survival ability. B. To help people stop smoking.
C. To learn more about city rats. D. To tell apart nicotine and enzyme.
11. What is the best title of this text?
A. Rats Have Adapted to Modern Human Life
B. Rats in the City Have Varieties of Diets
C. Rats Are More Adaptable than Humans
D. Rats Have the Same Genetic Make-up to Humans
D
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the
Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物) . Or we would probably still
be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition,
Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional
sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition --- the simultaneous
(同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or
light --- better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of
evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them,
ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even
though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is too much of a burden for a
friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the
records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and
improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only
benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without
competition, we would be lost.
12. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A. How to win the competition.
B. How friends compete with each other.
C. What competition exactly is.
D. What the result of competition is.
13. According to the writer, we can infer that high school students compete is because_____.
A. they know the laws of nature well.
B. they are divided into different groups.
C. friendship is a burden for them.
D. the number of them is too large.
14. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A. Friendship is always based on competition.
B. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
C. Competition is a result of lost friendship.
D. Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
15. What does the author think of “competition”?
A. The result of competition are out of control.
B. Competition becomes fierce in high school.
C. Competition is certain to happen at school.
D. Friendship is not as important as competition at school.

You wear your mask to minimize your risk of Covid-19. But as you walk in a supermarket, you approach
someone who looks familiar. To avoid an awkward exchange, you flash them a friendly smile. It's not until you
pass that you remember: Your smile was hidden behind a mask. ___16___ But you can adjust and enhance your
communication by focusing on some of the other pieces that aren't hidden behind a mask.
Do remember the face isn't totally covered. Happiness, sadness, fear and surprise can be communicated
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize them.
___17___ If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. Bear
in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.

reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a
conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual.
___19___ It's not just what you say but how you say it that matters. Along with the actual words, you also use
volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a lower-pitched whisper may denote sadness or
insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity. Chances are that anyone listening to you
could easily identify your emotions without even seeing you. If you feel the need to speak louder, just be aware that
raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send. Changing the tone of your voice can change the
whole conversation. ___20___
A. Become aware of your own body language, too.
B. So instead of increasing volume, try talking clearly.
