Chelsea Phaire lives in Danbury, Connecticut. She was 8 when she decided to start the charity. Chelsea said
5
B. An English textbook. D. A travel brochure.
her mother and she had a conversation about the fact that not everyone had access to art, which made her so sad. But it took her parents some time to get on board with the idea. They wanted her to wait until she was a little older.
Finally, Chelsea was able to launch her charity last year. For her 10th birthday, she asked her friends to donate art supplies instead of giving her presents. Since then, Chelsea has saved money from her birthday and from helping out at her dad’s barbershop to buy art supplies for her charity, whose mission is to deliver art supplies to kids in all 50 states and, eventually, to kids in other countries. As of July 7, Chelsea’s Charity had given away nearly 3,000 art kits(成套工具).
Chelsea has always had a passion for helping out. She loves knowing she’s giving back to her community. The art kits she puts together go to kids in homeless shelters and hospitals, and to children who have been affected by school shootings.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情), the charity has suffered financially. Chelsea says, “Instead of personally giving art kits out, we had to mail them,” which was expensive. But increased attention on her efforts has helped donations boom.
Art is a significant part of Chelsea’s life. She says it has helped her through difficult times. This is why she feels it’s so important to make sure everyone has access to art. Art is also a great way to release emotions, Chelsea says. “If everyone knows how to channel their negative emotions and thoughts into art, then we can prevent the next big disaster and we could solve world peace,” she adds. “You never know unless you try.” 24. How does Chelsea pay for her charity? A. She asks her relatives for much money. B. She helps her father with his business. C. She sells art supplies she makes by herself. D. She makes money from working for friends. 25. What difficulty is Chelsea faced with now? A. It is difficult to get donations. B. Her operation cost has increased.
C. Few volunteers are willing to run her charity.
6
D. She can’t continue her charity for the pandemic. 26. What does Chelsea think of art’s effect? A. Art is not for everyone. C. Art can cheer up the world.
B. Art is her lifelong career. D. Art is an emotional expression.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Artful Giving
B. Real Art
C. Chelsea Phaire
D. Chelsea’s Dream

England’s iconic red telephone booths(公用电话亭) have fallen out of use with the rise of cellphones, but people are finding imaginative new ways to make use of the relics that have been part of the British landscape for about 80 years.
The British famously have trouble letting go of old things. So when the cellphone turned the classic phone booths into a waste of space, there was a problem: What to do with them? As nobody was using them, the phone company started removing them and putting them in what looks like a phone booth graveyards.
Tony Inglis ran a trucking firm that got the contract to remove the old phone booths, many of which had fallen into ruin. His job was just to collect them, but something happened.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do with them, but we just can’t let them go,” Inglis said.
So, Inglis started fixing them up. And — surprise — some people started buying them because they liked the old phone booths with their old-fashioned phones. But playing with old phones only went so far. These booths, as it turned out, had legs. Inglis has helped to make them show up around the country being put to all sorts of new uses. Local libraries found them handy places from which to run book exchanges. Other uses include a coffee shop, a hat stall, a salad bar, and even a disco. But perhaps the most funny use, a cellphone repair shop.
The things are already popular and few tourists come to town without the selfie(自拍) in front of one of the ones that are still around. They’re a natural place to do business, and seem like an obvious opportunity to Eddie Ottewell, who started renting them out.
“The red phone boxes are not just iconic. They’re history. They’ve been through wars. They’ve been through everything,” Eddie Ottewell said. These weren’t just phone booths. They were cultural signposts. In fact, they can’t go away. They have been protected as historically significant. Just as well, for they now have other uses. 28. What put the red telephone booths out of use in England?
7
A. Their high repair costs. C. The popularity of cellphones.
B. Their inability to provide good services. D. The growth in people’s living standard.
29. Tony Inglis started to repair the old-fashioned phone booths to ______. A. get the old phone booths to work well C. have his company running normally
B. keep people’s memory of the old phones D. give the phone booths new functions
30. What business benefits a lot from the old phone booths according to Paragraph 6? A. Local tourism.
B. School education. D. Scientific invention.
C. Daily communication. 31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Red telephone booths quit the British history stage. B. Red telephone booths witness the British history. C. British red telephone booths get a second life. D. British red telephone booths are well protected.

China’s Mars rover, Tianwen-1, will likely attempt to land at a site in northeastern Mars, according to a new paper published just days ahead of the mission’s launch. The paper was written by team members of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, which aims to send an orbiter and a rover to the Red Planet.
The study reveals new details about Tianwen-1, outlining its intended landing area, science goals and the names of instruments aboard the spacecraft. It also stresses the historic nature of the mission: Not only is Tianwen-1 China’s first fully homegrown Mars mission, it’s also the first to carry both an orbiter and a rover.
Tianwen-1 means “questions to heaven” and was taken from the title of a poem by Qu Yuan (340 — 278 BC). The spacecraft will reach Mars in February 2021, at the same time as NASA’s Perseverance rover and the United Arab Emirates’ Hope orbiter launched on Sunday (July 19). However, China’s rover will remain attached to the orbiter for two to three months before attempting its landing, according to the paper.
The chosen landing area is Utopia Planitia, a huge basin formed by a large impact far back in
8
Mars’ history that was also the region where NASA’s Viking 2 lander touched down in 1976. China had isolated a part of the vast plain as a landing area, which means there will be more time and atmosphere for the entry spacecraft to slow down and safely land on the surface. The latitude is also suitable for receiving enough sunlight to power the 240 kilograms rover. The relatively smooth surface will also be helpful for roving. The mission also benefits from the engineering heritage of China’s Chang’e lunar exploration program, the paper noted.
The Tianwen-1 orbiter will operate in a polar orbit in order to map Mars. The rover will also investigate the surface soil characteristics and water-ice distribution with its own Subsurface Exploration Radar. It will also analyze surface material composition and characteristics of the Martian climate and environment on the surface. 32. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To lay out key details about Tianwen-1. B. To state how Tianwen-1 was invented. C. To stress the historic meaning of Tianwen-1. D. To analyze characteristics of the Martian climate.
33. What is most special about Tianwen-1 according to Para. 2 & 3? A. It was named after Qu Yuan, a famous poet in Chinese history. B. It will reach Mars at the same time as NASA’s Viking 2. C. It will remain for 2 or 3 months on Mars.
D. It will complete orbiting and roving in a Mars mission. 34. Why is Utopia Planitia chosen as the landing area of Tianwen-1? A. The rare air there is suitable for the flight of Tianwen. B. The area can protect Tianwen-1 from too much sunlight. C. It has relatively smooth surface, which is helpful for roving. D. There is no spacecraft successfully landing there in history. 35. The last paragraph states mainly ___________. A. Tianwen-1’s historic contributions C. Tianwen-1’s academic advantages
B. Tianwen-1’s new radar instruments D. Tianwen-1’s scientific goals

Why we still need to read Dickens
Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. 36 As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 37 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’ writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 38 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.
The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.
39 But these are not exactly the reasons why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.
Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. 40 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.
A. Then a hand shot up.
B. I know that wasn’t really the reason.
C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves. D. That question was never more troubling. E. That’s why we still need to read him today.
F. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels. G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节：（共 15 小题; 每小题 1分, 满分 15 分）

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
About a half-mile behind our Minnesota farm lay a pond. In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mud. It was not a place for swimming.
In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum (起泡的浮渣). Sometimes a strong, unpleasant smell rose from it. We stayed away.
When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it, Harry said to me, “Try walking across.”
The ice looked solid. No water showed through it, but I hesitated. “Go ahead.” Harry urged.
12
“Try it. You’re lighter than I am. If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it. It’ll be fun.” I wanted to please Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide across the pond.
In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack (裂缝)! I stretched out (伸展) my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures. I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was wearing a coat of heavy material. As it became completely wet, it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.
I looked at Harry on shore. He seemed rooted to the spot. “I can’t get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好.
Paragraph 1: Harry turned and ran from the pond. _______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The moment I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, mum rushed over.________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
