We were city people until about five years ago, when we found ourselves in the middle of three major medical
issues My husband, Jack, our twelve year old son Holden, and I were all fighting different forms of cancer. We decided
to move back to my hometown in Nebraska be close to my parents, who would help us with our treatments land the
care of our other three children.
Holden liked it immediately. He was drawn to the hard work of a farmer and jumped right in to help his grandpa.
He learned all he could and now helps with all kinds of work. He has even opened his own sweet business and took
third place in the state competition. He didn’t let his brain cancer slow him down.
When Holden’s cancer returned for a third time. the doctor said it could not be treated. My husband refused to
give up and found a doctor in Boston who said she was confident that she could remove the entire tumor (肿瘤).
Unluckily, our insurance (保险) company wouldn’t pay for it. The hospital offered to charge less for the treatment, but
we still needed $39,000. Years of cancer treatment for my husband and me had spent almost all our money. We had no
way to find that $ 39,000.
We decided to hold a fundraiser. The day of the event was cold icy and windy, and yet people poured into the
school and bought things that covered all the cafeteria tables. Our country town of only 1,000 people raised more than
$45,000! They sent the payment to the hospital and had enough left over to send my husband and me along for
Holden’s treatment. It was an impossible task made possible by a small amount of people banding together in small-
town Amra.
Holden has been cancer-free for two years now. He works on the farm and plays football at his high school. He is
very proud to be a blood donor (捐赠者) and carries his donor card everywhere.
24．Why did the author’s family move to her hometown?

Dry lightning(雷电)can still be harmful even when conditions aren’t so dry, said a study published in Geophysical
Research Letters last month. Dry lightning during little to no rainfall was previously thought to cause wildfire danger
only with less than 2.5mm of rain in a day. A Washington State University-led study of wildfires in the US West found
dry lightning caused wildfires despite up to 7.7 mm of rain.
“The rainfall amounts we recorded should help provide a better understanding of just how much rain can cause a
fire risk,” said Dmitri Kalashnikov, lead author of the study.
The researchers analyzed(分析)cases on more than 4,600 naturally caused fires from 2015 to 2020. They matched
3,726 of those to the lightning strikes that likely started them with the help of National Lightning Detection Network.
The study found that 15.3% of those were holdover fires which burn without smoke, bringing about over a
hundred fires each year. Analyzing the rainfall amounts around the time of the lightning strikes showed greater rainfall
than previously thought among the earlier found fires ranging from 1.7 mm to 4.6 mm.
While humans still cause most fires either by accident or on purpose, lightning-caused wildfires burn the most
areas. Nearly 70% of the wildfire-burned land in the West was from lightning-caused fires according to the study. For
example, the largest wildfire burn area in California history took place in August 2020 after dry lightning caused many
wildfires at once.
Dry lightning can also start wildfires in places that are hard for firefighters to reach. This study found the places
where holdover fires happened repeatedly were in the forested mountains of the Southwest as well as the middle and
southern Rocky Mountains. Holdover fires cause the problem because they are so hard to notice.
28．The new study found dry lightning can still cause wildfires with a daily rainfall of __________.
A．7.7 mm B．8.0mm C．9.4mm D．10.2mm
29．What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The finding of the research. B．The number of the cases.
C．The process of the study. D．The designers of the test.
30．Why did holdover fires happen repeatedly in the forested mountains?
A．They are difficult to notice. B．The fire service is short-handed.
C．Campers often smoke there. D．The locals fail to call firefighters.
31．From which is the text probably taken?
A．A history textbook. B．A science magazine.
C．A course plan. D．A book review.

Cancer-fighting genes in elephants could help tackle one of the biggest killers of people, according to research.
Despite their large bodies and long lifespans, elephants are much less likely to die from cancer than humans, with death
rates of less than 5 percent.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The paradox has puzzled scientists because more cells lead to greater replications (复制), which increases the
possibility of the body failing to detect damaged DNA or a faulty cell that can result in tumors(肿瘤). Elephants live for
almost as long as humans and weigh up to five tons.
However, a group of British and European scientists say they have taken a big step towards solving Peto’s
paradox, named after the British epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto. Elephants, they say, carry a much larger more diverse
group of tumor-fighting proteins.
The findings, published last week in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, raise hopes that the cancer
fighting genes in elephants could be the key to tackling cancer, which kills about 167, 000 Britons yearly. Cells keep
dividing throughout an organism’s life, each carrying the risk of producing a tumor. One of the body’s weapons is a
gene called p53 known as the “guardian of the genome”, which hunts cells with faulty DNA．It encourages the cell to
repair itself or self-destruct, keeping the cell from combining with others and producing tumors.
Humans have two versions of p53 but elephants have 40, said the researchers. Biochemical analysis and computer
simulations also showed that an elephant’s p53 genes are structurally slightly different, providing a much larger anti-
cancer toolkit. The researchers suspect that while faulty cells might be able to skirt two p53 versions, they cannot
combine with other cells as easily in the face of dozens.
The findings will open the way for research on how p53 genes of elephants are activated and on medical treatment
for humans.
32．What has puzzled scientists?
A．Few elephants end up dying from cancer. B．Elephants live long and weigh enormously.
C．More cells lead to higher chances of tumors. D．A larger body is less likely to discover faulty cells.
33．What can be learnt from Paragraph 4?
A．How many Britons die each year. B．How the anti-cancer gene works.
C．How the research was carried out. D．What the findings have been applied to.
34．What does the underlined word “skirt” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Strengthen. B．Detect. C．Escaped. D．Cure.
35．Which is the text mainly about?
A．Scientists find elephants live longer than humans. B．P53 genes play essential role in preventing cancer.
C．Elephant genes could be key to fighting cancer. D．Groundbreaking treatment for cancer is on the way.

Best Way to Lose Weight-Dieting Tips
How do you eat right to lose weight fast? You’ll discover there are a great number of weight loss diets which
promise to help you drop the pounds fast. 36
Many weight loss diets are aimed at losing weight fast, but aren’t necessarily healthy and won’t create a long-term
学科网（北京）股份有限公司change for the better. 37 That means you’ll choose a diet which doesn’t cut out any necessary nutrients (营
养物). Most diets suggest that you stop eating fat or carbs (碳水化合物). 38 You’ll need to make clear of
your own body type before making a diet plan. You might also need to try different ways before finding the best way.
If you just need to shake a few pounds off in a short time, your plan won’t be the same as one to lose weight in the
long term. The best short-term weight loss plan will be stronger than the best long-term weight loss plan, but both of
them shouldn’t get rid of necessary nutrition. 39 Your body will go into “starvation mode” and your
metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. As a result your body will keep more weight.
40 Spread out your meals evenly throughout the day. Any larger meals should be eaten earlier in the
day. That gives your body more time and opportunity to burn calories. If you eat a lot before bed, those calories won’t
burn but become fat.
A．But do they really work?
B．Once you start your plan, you shouldn’t stop.
C．In fact many people feel it hard to lose weight.
D．Besides, you also should pay attention to when you eat.
E．The best way to lose weight should be useful in the long term.
F．While this may help some people, there is no plan that is perfect for all.
G．If you try to make yourself hungry, you won’t achieve long-term results.

History is always an important part of every school’s curricula. In reality, some children find no interest in history,
while others consider history as one of the most 41 courses they have ever learned. To 42 all
school students to learn history, teachers should change the ways of lecture delivery.
One method is to 43 modern technology. Teachers should provide children with Internet-based
computers to help them get instant (马上的) 44 to the huge resources on the Internet. In this way, it takes
them only a few minutes to search for the information online, and another few minutes to 45 it with their
friends on social media platforms. In addition, children love cartoons. Therefore, teachers should 46 lectures
in the form of animation (动画) videos 47 depending only on textbooks, which may put a sense of 48
on children’s history-learning process. This way enables children to remember lectures easily.
Another 49 is to visit historical sites more often. Since children may get 50 when teachers
only request them to read books all day, taking them to the real historical places seems to be better. A historical site
includes real objects or tools, 51 students’ attitudes towards history in a positive way. For example, a
military hand-held radio can help children understand the 52 between different armies in the battle from the
inside out 53 a teacher shows its details and lectures at the same time.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司In a word, a 54 can use modern technology or take children to historical sites in order to 55
their interest towards history courses.
41．A．useful B．exciting C．challenging D．upsetting
42．A．force B．teach C．encourage D．demand
43．A．take advantage of B．take pride in C．make peace with D．lay stress on
44．A．application B．change C．entrance D．access
45．A．compare B．connect C．share D．provide
46．A．deliver B．attend C．make D．hold
47．A．after all B．instead of C．other than D．more than
48．A．power B．pain C．direction D．comfort
49．A．step B．plan C．method D．skill
50．A．bored B．lazy C．annoyed D．active
51．A．controlling B．shaping C．reflecting D．showing

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分, 共15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many people take the idea of saving money very seriously. Back in 1924, in Italy, a group of people 56
(think) the inability to resist spending a major social problem. They had the idea of starting a day to remind people to
put away some money for a rainy day. This is how World Saving Day, held on Oct. 31st 57 (annual), was
started, and it’s still going strong in 2019.
Not surprisingly, a movement targeting the poor was started. People in the 58 (underdevelop) world are
more open to calls to be careful 59 money. But 60 idea of being thrifty (节俭) has also become
popular among the rich. Take Mark Zuckerberg for example. The Facebook founder, one of the world’s 61
(rich) people, doesn’t spend very much money on himself.
Other people don’t spend money because they don’t like the culture of consumption. This is connected to the view
62 we should make ourselves happy through the 63 (activity) we take part in, rather than with what we
buy.
But however we view money, moderate spending is certainly a good idea when we are still too young to get a job.
There is a British saying that 64 (offer) some good advice in this situation: “Look after the pennies, and the
pounds will look after 65 (they).”

第二节（满分25分）
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。
There are many things in senior middle school that I still remember clearly. I studied three years in a country
school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all
my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill,
said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was
gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was
well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk.
From one corner of the classroom I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy?” At the other end of the
room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went
all around me, until about half of the students talked with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow
your storybook and keep it for a day?” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the
classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand
up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom.
And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me, “I thought.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worrying about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked
around.
