If they are Germans，they'll arrive on time.If they are Americans，they'll probably be 15 minutes early.If they are Englishmen，they'll be 15 minutes late，and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.‎ The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world，people would always understand what they do.However，they found they were completely wrong.For example，the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal.The Japanese prefer not to work while eating.Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don't drink at lunchtime.The German like to talk business before dinner.The French like to eat first and talk afterwards.They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.‎ ‎（A）30.What do the Germans prefer to do when they go to a meeting ?‎ A．They prefer to be on time.‎ B．They prefer to arrive very early.‎ C．They prefer to arrive very late.‎ D．They prefer to arrive a little late.‎ ‎（B） 31.What do the Japanese like to do at lunchtime? ‎ A．To drink. ‎ B．To get to know each other.‎ C．To talk business. ‎ D．To eat only.‎ ‎（D）32.According to the writer，the British like to ______.‎ A．arrive on time and talk business during the meal B.arrive earliest and hate talking business at a meal ‎ C.arrive 15 minutes late and talk business after the meal D．arrive a few minutes late and discuss ‎ business during the meal ‎（A） 33.By giving us the two examples，the writer ‎ means to show us that______.‎ A．different countries have different cultures in different parts of the world ‎ B．the Germans are more serious and have good living habits C．the Italians are careless people and they are never on time for everything D．the French people are very lazy.They ‎ prefer eating and drinking more C One day in summer，little Jack was playing on the beach with his father.Suddenly，he saw a little tortoise(乌龟) moving slowly on the sand.He started to look at it carefully and began to touch it with his hand.To his surprise，the tortoise stopped moving.It pulled in its head and legs，and closed its shell tightly.He touched it again but the tortoise didn't ‎ move at all.Jack became angry.He used a stick and tried to force(强迫)it to open.‎ When his father saw this，he stopped him and said，“No，son，you mustn't do that! You will kill the tortoise.You won't get it open with a stick.”Jack was curious and asked，“Why？” ‎ ‎“Just wait and see，” his father replied.Then he picked up the tortoise and put it in a bag.‎ After they came back home，the father took the tortoise out of the bag.He put it near the fireplace(壁炉).After a few minutes，the tortoise began to move a little.Then the tortoise stretched out(伸出)its head and legs.At last，the tortoise began to crawl across the room.How excited Jack was when he saw this!‎ ‎“Son，now you see，” said his father，“sometimes，you can't force someone to do things he doesn't like.But if you get him warm first，he will do what you want him to do.”‎ ‎（A）34.One day Jack and his father were playing ______.‎ A．on the beach B．in the zoo C．on the hill D．in the garden ‎（C）35.Jack used a stick to ______the tortoise.‎ A．save B．feed C．open D．close ‎（A）36.After the tortoise got ______ near the ‎ fireplace，it began to move a little.‎ A．warm B．cool C．thirsty D.hungry ‎（D）37.The story tells us that______.‎ A．people will do things we want them to do B．people won't do things we want them to do C．we can force people to do things they don't like D．we can't force people to do things they don't like D Although many people agree that junk food is unhealthy and has little nutrition，they are still fond of it.‎ ‎ “Why do people like it？”‎ ‎ The name “junk food” first appeared in 1972.Over the years，it has become popular with many people.‎ ‎ Suppliers are fond of it because it is cheap to make and easy to keep for a long time.Many consumers(消费者) are fond of it because it is easy to buy and it tastes good.‎ ‎ What is junk food?‎ ‎ Junk food has a lot of fat，salt or sugar and many food additives(添加剂).Scientists believe that eating a lot of junk food makes people overweight.People may also have their heart disease，high blood pressure and tooth problems if they eat too much junk food.‎ ‎ What food is called junk food?‎ ‎ This is a difficult question.Different people may give different answers.For example，fast food such as hamburgers，pizza and French ‎ fries，is often regarded as junk food.Other food，such as roast potatoes and bread，is not junk food although it has limited(有限的) nutrition.Also，candy and soft drinks are junk food because they have a lot of sugar，but honey and grapes are not.Many people prefer to have cereal(谷类植物) at breakfast because it is a healthy food，but breakfast cereals may have lots of sugar，salt and fat.‎ ‎ Should children eat junk food?‎ ‎ When children start eating junk food，they will have less and less milk and healthy fruit juice.This can make them have weak bones.‎ ‎ However，some junk food，such as chips，may be good to children because it may have necessary fat.However，since they are fat，children should not eat too much.‎ To many scientists，junk food is not very harmful when people have it as a part of a balanced diet.‎ ‎（A）38.Why can junk food make people overweight?‎ A．Because it has a lot of fat，salt，sugar and many additives.‎ B．Because it is unhealthy and has little nutrition.‎ C．Because it is cheap to make and easy to keep for a long time.‎ D．Because it is easy to buy and it tastes good.‎ ‎（D）39.Which of the following is not junk food?‎ A．Hamburgers.

Is it magic? Or simply luck? I tried to find out.‎ Acupuncture first appeared in China more than 2，000 years ago.It works by improving the smooth flow of “qi”．“Qi” flows through “jingluo” throughout the body.‎ Although acupuncture can't treat all illnesses，at least it creates a good starting point to build a healthy body.Recently，it has spread internationally，which shows the power of acupuncture.I hope this kind of traditional Chinese medicine will bring health and happiness to friends all over the world.‎ ‎（C）42.Why does the writer mention “a pill” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．To give an example.‎ B．To start a new topic.‎ C．To make a comparison(比较).‎ D．To explain its importance.‎ ‎（C）43.What happened to the writer during the flight?‎ A．She had a bad dream.‎ B．Her fingers hurt seriously.‎ C．She couldn't control her arm.‎ D．Her arm was painful for no reason.‎ ‎（A）44.The underlined word “despair” means ‎ “______” in Chinese.‎ A．绝望 B．淡然 C．陶醉 D．激昂 ‎（B）45.What's the main idea of the passage? ‎ A．Acupuncture has long gone out of date.‎ B．Acupuncture treatment is well worth a try.‎ C．Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine.‎ D．Acupuncture is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.‎ 非选择题 (共55分)‎ 四、听力 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)‎ 听短文，然后根据表格提示和所听内容完成下列各小题(每空一词)。‎ A trip to a museum Place The Museum of 46.Scienceand Industry.‎ When it ‎ opened In 47.1933．‎ Location In Chicago，America.‎ Description The 48.largestone in the Western Hemisphere.‎ Attention No 49.smoking．‎ Remember to come back to 50.the buson time.‎ 五、语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式(每空一词)。‎ Chinese proverbs(谚语) are rich and they are still widely 51.used(use) in Chinese people's daily life.Behind these proverbs there are often 52.interested(interest) stories.For example，the proverb，“plucking up a crop to help it grow”，is based on the following story.‎ It is said that a shorttempered man in the Song Dynasty(960－1279) was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up 53.quickly(quick).He was thinking about this all day and all night.But the crop was growing much 54.slower(slow) than he expected.‎ One day，he came up 55.with an idea that he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches.He did so the next day.After doing this for a whole day，he was very tired，56.but he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” higher.His son 57.heard (hear) about this and went to see the crop.Unluckily，the 58.leaves(leave) of the crop began to wither(枯萎).‎ This proverb is saying we have to let things go in 59.their(they) natural course.Being too anxious 60.to help(help) an event develop often results in the contrary to our intention(意图).‎ 六、单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)‎ 根据下列短文，写出与各小题所给汉语相对应的英语单词的正确形式 (每空一词)。‎ Everyone can join the fight against the novel coronavirus ‎ (新型冠状病毒).Not sure what you should do? Here are some 61.suggestions(建议).‎ Stay away from the crowds and keep healthy ‎ Don't go to 62.crowded(拥挤的) places.If you have to，remember to wear a mask.The novel coronavirus can spread through mucus droplets (粘液).If you don't wear a mask，you can get sick 63.easily(容易地).‎ Wash hands Don't 64.touch(触摸) your eyes，nose and mouth before washing your hands.It is very important to use running water and soap when you wash your hands.‎ Choose proper masks Wearing masks is a good way of stopping the virus from entering your mouth and nose.65.Medical(医疗) masks and N95 masks are the best choices.‎ 七、综合填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 从下面方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其正确形式填入短文中，使短文通顺正确(每个词或短语只用一次)。‎ reason, find, surprise, pick up, with，‎ habit, quick, used to, probably, turn on What will you choose，if you are sitting in front of a TV and there is a book right next to you? Your choice will 66.probably be the TV! Young people will certainly choose the TV，but you will be 67.surprised ‎ to find out that the older will take time to think about it.Why is this? Are the books not as interesting as they 68.used to be? Is it that the world has changed so much in the past years that our 69.habits are not the same any more? Nowadays, many people take no interest in literature(文学).This may be an explanation.Another 70.reason might be the change of lifestyle.We'd like to visit a club or a bar to relax ourselves after a long day's work rather than read a book in our own homes.All the stress of work makes us want a 71.quick relaxing way.It is much simpler to 72.turn on the TV and watch the latest news around the world than read 19th century literature! With all the TV programs，an interesting show or movie can be 73.found easily.The only disadvantage is that TV never provides you 74.with all the facts that a book can do.TV is much more superficial(肤浅的) than books，even if it does get you relaxed in just a moment! So let's 75.pick up books and enjoy reading.‎ 八、任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在每小题句子空白处填入适当词语，使其意思与短文内容一致 (每空词数不限)。‎ The Internet brings people closer or farther?‎ Last Friday，we made a survey on whether the Internet brings people closer to each other.Let's look at what they said.‎ Mary : The Internet makes people get closer to each other.The Internet gives strangers a chance to know each other and then become ‎ friends.Through the Internet，families and friends can talk at anytime，anywhere.It's so convenient that we'd like to communicate with each other more.‎ Dan : Real communication needs not only people's words，but also body language and facial expressions.There are so many people cheating online，making it difficult for people to make real friends on the Internet.Too much online chatting will also lead to the loss of basic social skills.‎ Carmen : I'm always told that the world is becoming smaller and smaller.Who makes it smaller? The answer is the Internet.Since the world is becoming smaller，the distance between people is definitely(确实) closer.‎ James : The Internet shortens(缩短) the distance between people but it also brings troubles.Sometimes we refuse our parents' suggestions to go out because we want to spend more time on the Internet.However，doing things with parents is really a precious thing.‎ ‎76．The survey is about whether the Internet brings people closer or farther to each other.‎ ‎77．Mary thinks that the Internet makes peopleget closer to each other.‎ ‎78．Real communication needs not only people's words，but also body language and facial expressions according to Dan's opinion.‎ ‎79．The Internet makes the world becomesmaller and smaller in Carmen's ‎ opinion.‎ ‎80．Doing things with parents is really a precious thing according to James's opinion.‎ 九、书面表达 (共1题，满分15分)‎ 宁夏正在进行“美丽宁夏”建设，我们要积极参与“美丽宁夏”建设活动，从小事做起，让我们的家乡变得更美丽。作为学生，请以“Start Out Small”为题，用英语写一篇倡议书。要点提示：‎ ‎1．多种树木和花草，不乱砍伐树木。‎ ‎2．购物时重复使用袋子。‎ ‎3．不乱扔垃圾，保持河流的干净。‎ ‎4．遵守公共秩序，做文明学生。‎ 要求： ‎ ‎1．80词左右。文章的开头已给出，不计入总词数。‎ ‎2．文章须包括所有要点，可适当发挥，使短文意思通顺、语气连贯、过渡自然。不能在作文中出现学校真实的名称和学生的真实姓名。‎ 参考词汇：protect the environment(保护环境)；reuse bags(重复使用袋子)；plant(植树)；cut down(砍伐)；throw(扔掉)；wait in line(排队等候)；be polite(有礼貌)；obey(遵守) ‎ Start Out Small Hello，everyone.We should try our best to make our hometown Ningxia more beautiful and comfortable.What can we do for our hometown?
