College kids love to get packages（包裹）from their parents. But what will happen when they open a box to
discover that it has been sent from someone else’s mom? Forty kids were treated to a surprise this week by moms
who got together for a college care package party.
The mothers picked names out of a hat, packed a box of treats, and put in a personal note of encouragement
to a freshman（大一新生）who was not their own kid. Angele Ekert, the organizer, invited a group of mothers.
Her invitation read “My Kid Left for College and I Need a Drink”. She asked the mothers to bring 40 small gifts
—something inexpensive like snacks.
Some mothers invited were close friends but many were getting along with moms whom they had never met.
Her plan was to invite people who would enjoy getting together to surprise the kids, prepare a box of good things.
have a glass of wine and enjoy a few laughs.
Angele Ekert had bought note cards where each person could write down a few words. Before leaving, Ekert
took a picture of the group and made copies so they could include the photo, too, in each box.
The moms loved the idea and were so happy that they were meeting other moms, though their kids had
finished high school and moved away.
One college girl texted her mom, “The package really made my day. I was already having a good day but
now it’s even better.” She included a picture of all the gifts she’d received, the note and photo.44．The mothers sent the packages to ________.

When it comes to generation gap （代沟）, we usually think of different tastes in music, or games. But now
the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn’t
read what she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in
schools.
Others who are against it argue that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words
have become a main form of communication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by most of
Americans, it is no longer taught in schools, and some think that the time that it would take to teach it could be put
to better use, for example, by teaching the technical skills.
But even in today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and write on the paper. In America,
signatures（签字） by hand are still often requested, for example, signing for a registered letter and buying a
house. And original signatures are much more different to fake （伪造）.
There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It makes a different part of the brain
active and improves fine moving skills in young children. People are also more likely to remember what they
write by hand than what they type, and the process of writing by hand can also help students to create new ideas.
Some studies have shown that kids who write by hand spell earlier than those who don’t as well. So to
develop children’s spelling ability, many parents pay lots of attention to children’s writing skills and teach them to
write on paper from a very young age.
We live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world of basic and important values. It’s important for us
to get used to the new skills, but it’s also necessary to find what is the most suitable and efficient way for us.
试卷第6页，共3页48．What did the teacher find in her class?
A．Her students were too lazy to follow her class.
B．Her handwriting was too terrible to understand.
C．There was something wrong with some student’s eyes.
D．Some students could not recognize her written words on the board.
49．Some people are against handwriting teaching because they think ________.

B．handwriting is no longer used in society
C．it’s difficult to fake typed signatures
D．nobody can practice good handwriting in school
50．How many advantages does handwriting have for the mind?
A．3. B．4. C．5. D．7.
51．The structure of the passage is ________.

Nowadays the intelligent parcel lockers like Hive Box（蜂巢） started to play an important role in our life.
Before the introduction of intelligent parcel lookers, although a large part of the delivery（派送）process
started to use machines and technologies, last-mile delivery mainly depends on couriers（快递员）. With the
increase in the number of express orders, there are more problems such as shortage of couriers and too much work
pressure. At the same time, because of different addresses and the uncertainty of the picking time as well as other
reasons, the speed of couriers was very low. What’s worse, second deliveries often took place. Under such
situation, intelligent parcel lockers were put into use. They greatly improve users’ experience and delivery speed.
However, some serious problems actually impede the development of it. That’s why it doesn’t develop as
fast as we expect. The cost of using the lockers at the early stage is expensive. Although the free storage with no
time limit once attracted a large member of users, such kind of method is not practical in the long run and has
caused losses these years.
Take Hive Box, the leading company as well as the owner of the China’s largest self-service parcel locker in
this industry, as an example. In 2019, the intelligent parcel lookers of the Hive Box led to a wide-spread
discussion. Because the locker put up a notice that tried to let the users pay 1 RMB to get their parcels without
informing at first. On April 30, 2020, Hive Box began a membership system. It also caused dissatisfaction.
It seems that the intelligent parcel lockers industry has been exploring its way to make more money and
reduce losses, but so far, there has been no perfect solution. So some actions should be taken and more studiesshould be done to guide it to the correct path to a better development.
52．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．How the intelligent parcel lockers worked.
B．How the intelligent parcel lockers came out.
C．What problems intelligent parcel lockers met.
D．What advantages the intelligent parcel lockers had.
53．The underlined word “impede” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.
A．stop B．improve C．increase D．help
54．Why does the writer mention Hive box?
A．To attract people to use Hive Box more often.
B．To show Hive Box is the biggest company in the industry.
C．To prove how difficultly the intelligent parcel lockers develop.
D．To explain why people don’t like Hive Box’s membership system.
55．According to the passage, the future of the intelligent parcel lockers is ________.
A．different B．hopeless C．worrying D．better
E
When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy
holiday presents for those he loved. The third Saturday in December Mark said that he had made his list and had
twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went off on his own while I waited
patiently reading a book in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. The clerk told him how
much he needed to pay as I looked the other way. Mark kept within his budget (预算) and reached into his pocket
for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood in the middle of the
store holding his basket, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was shaking with tears on his face. Then
an amazing thing happened. A customer in the store came up to Mark. She knelt down and took him in her arms.
“You would do me the greatest favour if you let me replace (补还) your money,”said the woman. “It would
be the most wonderful present you could ever give me. I only ask that one day you pass it on. One day, when you
are grown-up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help this other person, I know you will
feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran to the checkout counter as fast as he could. I think we all
enjoyed our gifts that year as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman. I would like to tell her that four years later Mark went
house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the Oakland fire — and he thought of

c.I drove Mark to a nearby shop.
d. Mark paid the gift with the money.

A．Because he wanted to buy too many things.
B．Because he didn’t keep within his budget.
C．Because his money was missing.
D．Because there was a hole in his pocket.

A．Mark saved money to buy presents for those he loved.

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。（65-67小题，每小题2分，68小题3分，共9分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have
you ever thought about why that is so?
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in
this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out
the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade
for “unsatisfactory” or grade for “incomplete”.
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly
throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke
College. In 1897, they began to use the following grade scale:
A: 95%—100% （excellent）B: 85%—94% （good）
C: 76%—84% （fair）D: 75% （barely passed）
E: below 75% （failed）
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular all over the US. However, many schools decided
to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence （证据）, but one possible explanation is that
teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades? Part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great
change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in population led to larger school
classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to
grade students.
Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect student learning. However, as
teachers try to improve grading methods（方法）, many parents continue to prefer the letter grades they got as
kids. They are familiar （熟悉） and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the
试卷第10页，共3页letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
65．Is there E grade in the grading system right now?
66．According to the passage, why did most teachers like the letter grading system?
67．What does the writer of this article want to explain?
68．Do you like the grading system mentioned in this passage? Why or why not?
