My mother spreads joy wherever she goes. Right now she is probably writing an encouraging
note to a friend, praising someone she has come across in the hallway, or reading the
newspaper to someone in her retirement community.
Growing up, my mother thought about becoming a dancer, but she didn't have the chance
until retirement. Then she joined her first group, The Hot Flashes. Once she put on the tap
shoes,
There seems to be no end to her energy as she tap-dances her way into people's hearts,
bringing smiles to sad places. But this is nothing new for my mother.
Being a lifetime educator, she was recognized in 2015 as her school district's Teacher of the
Year. I remember her evening phone calls to her students' homes when she took a break
from grading papers. They weren't the typical bad-news calls many parents would expect.
Usually she was calling about something positive.
I was the youngest of seven children and life wasn't easy for my mother. I remember sitting
on the back of her bike as she took me to a daycare center for low-income families on her
way to Rosary College, where she was seeking an education degree. At home she was tough
as she had to be. She had been strict in my childhood, but I learned from watching her. Her
work ethic（道德）and determination passed down to me.
I could write a book about my mother, and probably I will someday. Better yet, we may write
one together, as her dream to be a writer hasn't yet been realized. But she got one step
closer by attending the Erma Bombeek Writers' Workshop in Dayton, Ohio, where she was
inspired to write a book.
From mother of seven to grandmother of eighteen, my mother continues to inspire
everyone she meets. She has many titles, but my favorite is Mother.

（1）What does the author's mother tend to do?
often helps poor people.
changes her aims constantly.
joins energetic people.
brings happiness to others.

（2）Why did the author's mother often make calls to her students' homes?
know her students' performance at home.
help her students' parents build confidence.
试卷第2页，总13页


tell her students' parents some good news.
ask her students to grade their papers fast.

（3）How was the author's childhood?
but smooth.
ng and enjoyable.


（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
show her love and respect for her mother.
keep a record of her mother's retirement life.
find inspiration to write a book for her mother.
praise her mother's professional achievements.

Plastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world, not just oceans and lakes. Its harmful
effects on wildlife have been widely documented, but a few animals—like bowerbirds and
hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a study, wild bees in
Canada have joined the effort.
These tiny insects can't recycle nearly enough plastic to put a significant dent（印痕）in the
problem. Still, their resourceful use of plastic indicates how widespread plastic pollution has
become, and how some wildlife is adapting to it.
One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter, normally bites off pieces of leaves and
flowers to make its nests. But the researchers found that three of eight brood（幼卵）cells
contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on
average.
In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a
nest made entirely of plastic which is the first known example of such construction
worldwide.
Plastic can have both advantages and disadvantages in bees' nests, the study suggests. The
bees that used bits of plastic bags didn't suffer any parasite（寄生虫）outbreaks, which
were unable to sting through the plastic, but up to 90 percent of their brood still died
because the plastic didn't let enough dampness escape, encouraging the growth of
dangerous viruses. The plastic bags also didn't stick together as well as leaves do, there
searchers note, and easily fell when they were inspected. But the bees took steps to
minimize this deficiency, putting plastic pieces only near the end of a series of brood cells.
It's still unclear why exactly leafcutter bees are using plastic, but as non- biodegradable
materials continue piling up in nature, this kind of behavior could become increasingly
important.
of plastics in the nests of bees could reflect ecologically adaptive characteristics necessary
for survival in an increasingly human-dominated environment.

ult but rewarding.
and meaningless.



（1）What do researchers discover about the bees?
are much cleverer than other insects.
can use bits of plastic to build nests.
are in great danger of extinction.
can be used to solve plastic pollution problem.

（2）What might the underlined word

（3）Where is this text most likely from?
A.A biography.

（4）What is the text mainly about?
reason for bees using plastic.

' adapting to the plastic pollution.
' increasing importance in nature.

If one more person talks about the benefits of mindfulness, I will throw cabbage at them.
Just kidding. But I do have lots of cabbage, happily rotting away in my kitchen thanks to the
wellness obsession（着迷）that failed to keep my attention. This is a symptom of a
phenomenon known as
Wellness is seriously big business with a worth of $$3.72 trillion and a healthy annual growth
of 14 percent. To satisfy this consuming desire, brands of super foods and various exercise
classes crowd in.
or which exercise class to take is that people begin to form distorted（扭曲的）mindsets
towards the idea of a healthy lifestyle,
Hospital.

exercising.
It's little wonder that many people are beginning to reject the idea of wellness and the
lifestyle it advocates.

D.A magazine.


Speaking of gym culture, which offers classes like Hula Hoop and Yoga, it's also beginning to
show signs that people are returning to more conventional forms of exercise—some that
wouldn't look out of place on a school timetable.
The whole point of wellness is that it should become such an everyday thing that you forget
about seeking it. Living a healthy lifestyle becomes a given rather than something singled out
as impressive and worth applauding. Now, more people are starting to cycle to and from
work, swim on lunch breaks and even try to buy old school exercise bikes.

（1）What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
wellness business costs people a great deal of money.
are faced with too many food and exercise choices.
ted mindsets to wellness cause harmful consequences.
wellness industry has been developing at a steady speed.

（2）Why is the author's friend mentioned in paragraph 3?
inform us wearable wellness things are not popular.
advocate the idea of wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
tell us that online wellness accounts are hard to follow.
show the public's unfavorable attitude to wellness obsession.

（3）Why are people starting to return to traditional forms of exercise?
such as cycling are more impressive.
are treating wellness as an everyday thing.
s like Hula Hoop and Yoga are too expensive.
have come to know wellness is not so necessary.

（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text?
Importance of Living a Healthy Lifestyle
You Suffering from Wellness Tiredness?
Benefits of Mindfulness in Wellness Industry
Is the Real Meaning of Wellness Obsession?

续 写的词数应为150左右。

Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw rocks at them and even
shot at them with a shotgun. At least that's what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived
when we were growing up. His farm was long, narrow, and quaint. It held two treasures. One
was his beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit: pears, apples, and lots more I just can't think of. The fruit
naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didn't
dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day, we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My
sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went
through the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across his
property around the luscious（可口味美的）fruit trees. We were almost through the farm
when we heard, （粗哑的）, low voice. We stopped dead in our tracks!
There we were, face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions
of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.

him. He held out several ripe, juicy, red apples.
the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh Annand I ate the
apples.
As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm, and he kept on giving us
more luscious fruit. One day, we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch（门
廊）. We talked to him for hours. While he was talking, we realized that we had found the
other hidden treasure: the sweet, kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon, he was one
of our favorite people to talk to.
Paragraph 1:

Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him. ______
Paragraph 2:

The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. ______

【答案】
Paragraph 1

Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him. We shared with him our colorful
experience at school while he kept giving out his luscious fruits to us as usual. As time went
by, we seemed to be more a family than good friends. But one summer, we were informed
that he was seriously ill and we were anxious and restless, feeling like sitting on pins and
needles. We rushed straight to the hospital to see his health condition. Weak as he was, he
comforted us that it wasn't a big deal.
Paragraph 2
试卷第12页，总13页



The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. Hearing the bad news, I
felt a lump in my throat, tears welling up in my eyes. The wind whistled through the trees, as
if mourning for the death of Donovan. I realized gone were the days when we sat together
chatting with each other. However, he left us a hidden treasure—his kind heart, which shall
never die away with the passage of time.
