Grandfather was a wise man. No matter how badly-behaved I had been, I could
tell Grandpa anything and my secrets were 11 . He loved me and would never
give them away.
I remember a time when a bunch of us were playing baseball behind Mrs.
Ferguson’s house. I hit one pitch just right and …slam! It ended up breaking Mrs.
Ferguson’s kitchen window! We all 12 !
After I got home, I told Grandpa about it. He knew we had been 13 many
times about the dangers of playing where we shouldn’t. 14 he just listened.
“I was wrong,” I told him, with my head down. “I hate myself for what I did. Is
there a way 15 ?”
“Well,” he said, “Mrs. Ferguson has a problem, just like you. If she knew you
16 and you were afraid of her, she would be sad. I’ll bet she wishes you would
give her a chance to be 17 . It’s your decision. Are you planning to 18
nothing happened? Just keep quiet and hide what you’re not proud of?”
“I don’t know,” I 19 . “Things might get worse…”
“Let’s think it through,” he said finally. “If you were Mrs. Ferguson, what would
you do?” I didn’t know what she might do. I had been 20 that Mrs. Ferguson
would stay mad at me, so I ran. On the way home I imagined that she was a mean
witch chasing me.
“Well,” I said, taking a deep breath, “One solution is to tell Mrs. Ferguson I’m
sorry and offer to fix her 21 .”
“If you call her,” asked Grandpa, “What’s the 22 that can happen?” I had
to think for a moment. I realized that even if she did not accept my 23 , it
could not be any worse than seeing the 24 on Mom and Dad’s faces.
Grandpa smiled when he knew I had 25 it out.
“Doing what’s right is not always 26 ,” he said, handing me the 27 .
“I’m proud of you.” Grandpa did not make me do it. It was always my 28 . As
it turned out, Mrs. Ferguson was very kind and we even became really close friends.
“Admitting what you’re not proud of is the hardest thing of all,” said Grandpa.
“Choosing to be honest makes others 29 you and respect you.”
Grandpa passed away a year ago and I miss him so much. He gave me the tools to
fix many problems and most of all he showed me I was 30 .

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Animals in Antarctica
There are no land animals that actually live in Antarctica ！ However ， the
surrounding oceans are rich in living creatures！It’s just too cold to support very many
life forms！Now let’s meet some of the Antarctica’s animals.
Weddell Seal
They are the southernmost pinniped(鳍足类的)in the world.
Males are generally smaller than females. Interestingly，a newborn
pup has a coat of long hair，which they will shed(脱落) within the
first month as the protective layer of their body is developed.
Blue Whale
Named for its blue•gray color ，this huge animal may grow to be roughly 100 feet
long and weigh more than 120 tons！A blue whale eats about 4 tons of krill(磷虾)per
day during the feeding season！This means that about 40 million krill are eaten every
day for six months by a blue whale！The tongue of the blue whale can be as big as a
Volkswagen！The blue whale is the loudest animal on earth!
Rockhopper Penguins
One of the more beautiful penguins，the Rockhopper shake
their heads and cause their yellow eyebrows to fly into a “halo”in
order to attract a mate!
Wandering Albatross
This species of albatross wanders the oceans for months at a
time searching for food. It sleeps on the ocean surface at night
and drinks sea water.The Wandering Albatross is the largest bird
in the world in terms of wing span—11 feet!
Ross Seal
Ross Seals are very rarely seen because they live deep within the pack•ice. It is
believed that Ross Seals feed mainly on squid，fish and krill. They were named after
the British polar explorer Sir James Ross，who first discovered them in 1840.
Emperor Penguin
Emperor Penguins are the biggest of the 17 penguin species. They are flightless
birds. They are the only living species to reproduce during the harsh Antarctic winter.
Without a nest，the father Emperor Penguin keeps the egg warm by holding it on his
feet for 2－3 months until spring，during which the father doesn’t eat anything and he
just eats a little snow for moisture. Unbelievable！What a Dad!

C．drink fresh water D．sleeps on boats
32．According to the last paragraph .
A. there are 18 penguin species on earth
B. Emperor penguins spend most of their time on land where they find food

B
Wu Lien Teh was born in 1879. At the age of 17, he went to England to study
medicine at the University of Cambridge. In 1907 Dr. Wu accepted an invitation from
the Qing government to work for an army medical college in Tianjin.
In October 1910, an unknown illness appeared in the city of Manzhouli, on the
Russian and Chinese border. The disease swiftly spread along the rail lines in
Manchuria and reached the cities of Harbin and Changchun, killing 99.9% of its
victims in just a few short weeks. As many of the railways were under the control of
Russia and Japan, it became an international incident. The Japanese government
offered to send experts to manage the growing disease, but the Qing government
worried that aid from Japan would only serve to further Japanese ambitions in this
area. Therefore, the government turned to Wu, requesting he travel from Tianjin to
Harbin and investigate.
When Dr. Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried only a few
medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu’s first acts was to order an
autopsy（验尸）on a recent victim. There had been a long-standing taboo（禁忌）in
China against such examinations. Wu insisted and found evidence of Yersinia Pestis
（鼠疫杆菌）. He then set up isolation area and ordered lockdown to stop victims
from traveling and spreading the disease. He also had teams check households for
possible cases, and even managed to convince Russian and Japanese governments to
completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Dr. Wu even requested the
local government to burn the bodies of victims. Over 3000 bodies were burned on
Chinese New Year, January 30, 1911. Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of
victims began to decrease, and by March 1, 1911, the disease was fully contained.
The plague（传染病）lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six
major cities, and caused over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the actions taken
by Dr. Wu it could have been much worse. Had the plague gone unchecked, allowing
holiday rail passengers to spread to the rest of China, it could have meant a huge loss
of life and a global health crisis. For a time, Dr. Wu was the most famous Chinese
plague fighter in the world.
34.What is the meaning of the underlined word "contained" in Paragraph 3?
A. covered B. included
C. increased D. under control
35.From the story, we could learn that Dr. Wu was a /an person.
A. determined B. ambitious
C. stubborn D. kind
36.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The disease appeared first in Harbin.
B. Nobody survived before Wu Lien Teh came.
C. The government sent Wu to Harbin because of the Japanese.
D. A lot of Russians and Japanese died from the disease.
37.Which of following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Spread of a Plague in 1910
B. The Damage of a Plague in 1910
C. An Introduction of Dr. Wu’s life
D. The Chinese Doctor who Beat the Plague

People have been told to stay separated — at least six feet apart— and to practice
what state and local officials call “social distancing”. Some have been asked to work
at home. But as people try to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the resulting
chaos and fear are bringing both large and small communities closer.
Simple acts of kindness are sprouting up online and in public, as neighbors,
students, teachers, and others begin to connect those who can pass this long and
isolating time smoothly, and the people who may not have the means to get through.
For Jesse Farren-James, helping out has taken the form of organizing trips to the
supermarkets for supplies, and use of her membership card if anyone needs to buy
large quantities. She posted the offer in a Facebook group for the community residents
（居民）, and some people came and turned to her. “I just feel so lucky that I have so
many people in my life to rely on and so sad that not everyone has that,” she wrote in
the group. In another interview, Farren-James said the “community is coming
together" and “there are so many good and amazing people” offering to help where
they can.
Also, parents in Dorchester have gathered together online. In a Facebook group
called DotParents, parents have been raising money to buy food and supplies for
students and families in the community. Lisa Graustein has been organizing this
activity. On Thursday, she used the more than $2,000 raised by neighbors to purchase
food in a restaurant supply company. A group of volunteers packed the food and
planned to distribute to schools for those who may need it.
“Food shortage is real in our city and this crisis is going to be severe.” Graustein
said. “But here’s something we can do that deal better with the hard time”. This idea
is spreading. She said friends in four other states had being running similar campaigns.
Next, she wants to find a way to get landlords（房东）to temporarily abandon rent for
residents in financial difficulties because of the outbreak.
38.What do we know about Jesse Farren-James?
A. She is a shopping assistant working for a supermarket.
B. She is wealthy and always ready to help others.
C. She lent her membership card to the people in need.
D. She felt sad that not everyone has enough food.
39.The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 “sprouting up” can be best replaced by
.
A. disappearing B. growing
C. connecting D. helping
40.What did parents in Dorchester do to offer help?
A. They bought food from the supermarket for community children.
B. They set up a restaurant supply company to provide food.
C. They raised money to deal with food shortage.
D. They distributed money to community residents.
41.Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Acts of kindness in coronavirus outbreak
B. Effects of social media in coronavirus outbreak
C. Social distancing in the online community
D. Helping each other in financial difficulties
D
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though
neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen
over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official
report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of
children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible
reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage
conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically
fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on
violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent
incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a
fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each
lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to
violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the
conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden
rule of conflict resolution (解决) --stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she
should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words,
name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir.On the other hand, soft
words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of
control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict
resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One
person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without
interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the
speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying
to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real
issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match
over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other
person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such
as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue
becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful
thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be
violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to
Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical
violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student
cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to
resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and
coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in
schools across the country.
42.This article is mainly about.
A. the lives of school children B. how to deal with school conflicts

A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime

Develop Note-Taking Skills
While attending a lecture, students are often surprised that their teacher can pick
out a speaker’s main points, evidence, and techniques. Of course, the teacher knows
what to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an
opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. Chances are she or he will be listening
with pen and paper. 46
Unfortunately, many people don’t take notes effectively. Some try to write down
everything a speaker says. They view note taking as a race, pitting their handwriting
agility(敏捷) against the speaker’s rate of speech. 47 But soon the speaker is
winning the race. The speaker pulls so far ahead that the note taker can never catch up.
Finally, the note taker admits defeat and spends the rest of the speech grumbling in
frustration.
48 They arrive armed with pen, notebook, and the best of intentions. They
know they can’t write down everything, so they settle comfortably in their seats and
wait for the speaker to say something that grabs their attention. Every once in a while
the speaker rewards them with a joke, a dramatic story, or a startling fact. Then the note
taker seizes pen, jots down a few words, and leans back dreamily to await the next
fascinating tidbit( 趣 闻 ). By the end of the lecture the note taker has a set of
tidbits—and little or no record of the speaker’s important ideas.
As these examples illustrate, they don’t know what to listen for, and they don’t
know how to record what they do listen for. The solution to the first problem is to focus
on a speaker’s main points and evidence. 49
Although there are a number of systems, most students find the key-word outline
best for listening to speeches. As its name suggests, this method briefly notes a
speaker’s main points and supporting evidence in rough outline form. By separating
main points from sub-points and evidence, the outline format shows the relationships
among the speaker’s ideas. 50 But with a little effort you will become a better
note taker.
A. As the speaker starts to talk, the note taker starts to write
B. Most inefficient note takers suffer from one or both of two problems.
C. Perfecting this taking requires practice.
D. Taking effective notes usually helps you receive higher grades.
E. Some people go to the opposite extreme.
F. But once you know what to listen for, you still need a sound method of note taking.
G.When note taking is done properly, it is sure to keep track of a speaker’s ideas.

作文范文：
Dear Hannah,
How is everything going? Knowing that you are crazy about Chinese culture, I am
writing to invite you to enjoy a fabulous Beijing Opera.
Mulan Joins the Army, known as one of the most famous Beijing Opera, will be put
on in Mei Lanfang Grand Theatre on the afternoon of June 1st. It will be performed by Liu
Changyu, a famous artist/actress. Usually fans will get there around 1:30 p.m. , but it
won’t be performed until 2 o’clock sharp. It tells an inspiring story of a girl named Mulan
who joins the army for her father and finally becomes a general through her own efforts.
The reasons why I would like to send you the invitation are as follows. To start with,
since you always show great interest in Beijing Opera, this is a great chance for you to be
exposed to the rich opera atmosphere and have your visual and auditory senses fully
fulfilled. Besides, it also provides you a chance to refresh yourself from the heavy study
load. You know, there is nothing better than music for a person to relax with, let alone the
wonderful live opera show. Most importantly, I do think the opera will benefit you a lot in
understanding the unique traditional Chinese culture and inspire you to pursue your dream
like Mulan.
So what do you think of it? Would you like to come? If you’re interested, please let me
know as soon as possible so that I can book the tickets for us.
