swimmers, but no one was there. They must have got out of the water already. I raised my head to see my
coach __20__ loudly with great happiness. The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the
pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 400-freestyle record in 17-18 age group. I had hung up my

Josh caught a pass and scored. He helped his university basketball team Vermont Catamounts win the
match in March. The coaches and players of both teams cheered on him. Josh shouted, “I did it! I’m a
college basketball player!”
Five years ago, Josh almost died in a car accident, only months after being accepted by the
University of Vermont Catamounts. In fact, playing for the University of Vermont Catamounts had always

学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司been his dream.
After the accident, he went into a coma（昏迷）and the doctors told his parents that he might not
wake up for the rest of his life. But his parents never lost hope. Four weeks later, Josh proved （证明）
them right. He not only learned to walk but also started to talk again. And soon he was even working
out. But the dream of playing basketball was the strongest driving power in Josh’s being well again.
Just a year and a half after the accident, he headed to the University of Vermont to start college.
With arm tremors（颤抖）and short-term memory loss, Josh knew he would never play for the University
of Vermont, but he watched every practice from the sidelines（边线）and then became an important part
of the team. His coach said, “Josh’s shown the whole team how to get through difficulties. “
Now 24, Josh will graduate from the University of Vermont in May with a 3. 4 GPA and plans to
work with kids. Josh tells people who are fighting against their own trouble, “Always have a dream in
your mind and follow after it as hard as you can.
25. Josh felt ___when he caught a pass and scored.

26. What happened to Josh five years ago?

C. He became an excellent doctor. D. He dreamed of watching the practice.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Dream Finally Comes True B. Never Too Old to Learn
C. Doing Is Better Than Saying D. Well Begun Is Half Done
C
The world is getting warm quickly. The last ten years was the
hottest ever recorded according to Climate（气候）Change Service. The
ice cap in the Arctic（北极）got smaller from 2. 44 million square
miles in 2010 to 1. 6 million square miles in 2019, says NASA’s Earth
Observatory（观测站）. Of course, arctic ice isn’t the only thing that’s
getting smaller.
Why ice matters
Polar bears need sea ice in order to raise their babies and hunt（捕猎）for food. The sea ice is their
habitat—a place where they usually live. Without it, they’re going hungry and their numbers are getting
smaller. As reported in 2015, they’re getting “clever” to live on. One way was that bears managed to
catch a special kind of dolphin they don’t usually eat and swam into their habitat, ate some of it, then
put the rest in snow to eat later. This is a habit the bears don’t often have.
Other food appears
Polar bears mainly eat seals （海豹）but researchers see polar bears in the western Hudson Bay
eating snow geese（雪雁）eggs. A polar bear needs to eat 88 eggs to get the same calories from eating
one seal. But this cannot keep the bears in the long run; besides, bears eating eggs will make snow
geese populations become smaller. Warming weather is also driving polar bears south, to look for food in
human rubbish. Another problem is that polar bears are waking up from winter sleep earlier and earlier,
which means they need more food than ever. When a bear wakes up, it is usually hungry and has little
energy to collect and get the food.
More scientists join in
Without sea ice, there is no sea ice ecosystem（生态系统）and losing that ecosystem means losing
第4页/共10页
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司polar bears. They can go without food for about 220 days, but if it is more than 220 days, it will cut
down their chances to live on. Scientists are reporting more deaths of polar bears because of it.
28. What do polar bears mainly eat?
A. Seals. B. Dolphins. C. Geese. D. Eggs.
29. What do you know about polar bears from the passage?
A. They always like to put food in snow.
B. They are changing their eating habits to live on.
C. They will die without food for less than 220 days.
D. The number of polar bears is increasing because of climate change.
30. Polar bears are facing the following problems except
A. losing their habitat
B. less food that they can get
C. moving to the north
D. less sleeping time in winter
D
Goji Berries
The goji（枸杞）berry is a bright orange-red berry and it comes
from China. In Asia, people use goji berries to try to treat many
common health problems because they believe goji berries are rich in
nutrients（营养物）. Some studies using goji berry juice found possible
benefits（好处）of it. For example, people say they develop a feeling of
well-being and calmness because of it. Others report better sports
performance and quality of sleep. Some people even become thinner
while eating it. But it’s not clear if goji berries are better than other
kinds of berries.
Chinese people have long believed that it has medicinal powers. It’s true that the ancient goji berry
hnas long been part of Chinese culture. But times are changing for this simple（简单的）berry. Now it is
being thought as a superfood all over the world.
Asia’s younger generation（一代人）, the Gen Z, are embracing（接受） the goji berry in their own
ways. Members of Gen Z, who were born around 1997-2012, are now buying “wellness kettles（养生
壶）”for their goji berry tea. Their parents might recognize（认识）these as traditional soup kettles.
According to a 2019 study on Gen Z in China, this generation sees living a healthy life as the most important
thing, even over money, job, personal enjoyment and having a family.
The power of the goji berry doesn’t look as if it will dim anytime soon as there were a large
number of goji berries sold in China during the sales on November 11th this year.
The berry has also become popular in foreign countries. People in the West are paying up to US
$10 for a small bag of the superfood, around three times its price in Asia.
Some famous people such as Amrita Banta has seen young Asians embrace a healthier way of
living: “There is in China a renewed pride in many traditional products and practices,” she said. “Yet,
the popularity of goji berries comes on the back of a global awareness（意识）of their benefits. It is
glad to see China becoming so proud of its past, yet so connected to the rest of the world. “
31. Why are the Asia’s younger generation embracing the goji berry?
A. Because their parents love the goji berry.
B. Because the goji berry goes with the wellness kettles.
C. Because the goji berry is a traditional Chinese medicine.
D. Because they believe that the goji berry is good for health.

A. The goji berry is more popular in the rest of the world than in China.
B. Thanks to the goji berry, Western people embrace a healthier way of life.

They eat wild animals, plants, nuts and insects. They hunt with bows and arrows（弓箭）. There are
lots of dangerous snakes, spiders and scorpions（蝎子）. There are
lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. It’s one of southern Africa’s
hottest places, and there is often no water. Then they have to get their
water from plants. When they are ill, there are no hospitals. The
people have to get their medicine from plants too.
They are the San, the last people living in the Kalahari. The San
people have another name- “bush people”. Their way of life is very simple, but they know more about
animals and plants than most people do. The San people live in small groups of 25-50. They live in
huts-little “houses” that they make from wood and grass. There are no schools for the children. Children
learn from the older people in the group about how to live in a dangerous place like the Kalahari. In the
evenings, the groups of people often sit around a fire and tell stories. Many of the stories are about
animals and how to hunt them.
The Kalahari is a big area of bushland in southern Africa. It has got two parts. There is less rain in
the southern part than there is in the northern part, so the south is drier. There are fewer plants and
animals there, and it’s a lot more difficult for people to live. But when it rains at the end of the summer,
the land becomes greener and more beautiful. For a few weeks, there are millions of little flowers and
even butterflies! But soon, the grass and the bushes get dry and turn brown. Then life becomes more
difficult again for people and animals.
34. Do the San people hunt with bows and arrows?
35. Where do the San people get water?
36. What do the children learn from the older people?
37. Which part of the Kalahari is wetter, the southern part or the northern part?
38. What is the passage mainly about?

题目①
I’m glad to know that you’re interested in Beijing. It’s winter in January in Beijing, so it’s
really cold. The temperature is usually below zero. Sometimes it might snow. When it snows, everywhere is white
and it’s pretty beautiful. It’s the happiest time for our children because we can make snowmen. Another interesting
thing is to celebrate Spring Festival which comes in January this year. We can put Chinese paper cuttings on doors
or windows. They are the symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Beijing is becoming more and
more beautiful and everybody lives a happy life. As for me, I enjoy living in Beijing and now even some foreigners
decide to live in Beijing.
题目②
I’m glad to talk something about keeping safe in school. We should take it seriously. In my opinion, the first aid class
in school is really important and helpful. I learnt a lot from the class. If someone is hurt, I can give him basic medical
help now. To keep safe at school, I always follow the school safety rules. For example, I never run in my classroom
and never enter the classroom with my classmates side by side. In PE class, I listen to the teacher and warm up first
carefully. I believe if everybody doesn’t take risks of accidents, we can be safe at school.
