The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.‎ Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted (插入) in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were linked to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented (补充的) oxygen to support his breathing. ‎ Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler were amazed at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.‎ This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler ‎ that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.‎ A few days before his death, Tyler called me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”‎ 21. From the passage, we can learn that Tyler is _________.‎ A. courageous and optimistic B. confident and energetic C. enthusiastic and adventurous D. ambitious and passionate 22. Tyler had to wear his backpack because ________. ‎ A. it contained his favourite toys from his mother B. it provided oxygen to support his breathing C. it had the pump supplying medications to his bloodstream D. it made himself recognized by his mother in the crowd ‎ ‎23. Which can be the best title for the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Gifts in my life B. Dress me in red C. Never give up D. Live with HIV B Not long ago, “blind box economy” suddenly became popular, winning the heart of large numbers of faithful fans. People simply get interested in it. A couple spent 200 thousand yuan on them. Another sixty-year-old guy spent over 700 thousand yuan in buying blind boxes. Statistics showed that last year 300 thousand hobbyists made deals through a second-hand shopping platform.‎ The blind boxes usually contain peripheral (周边的) dolls of comics and animation, or film and television, or specially designed ones. A single blind box usually costs about thirty to fifty yuan. But there is no mark on the box, and only after opening it can the buyer see what he has bought. This is rather like buying lottery tickets, for the buyer has to bet on his luck.‎ ‎ However, addiction to blind box is much like that to gambling (赌博). It is highly nontransparent compared with lottery ticket. Nobody knows whether sellers of blind boxes exaggerated (夸大) the winning rate so as to attract people to buy them, thus digging a consumption trap. Besides, it is also unknown whether the objects in the blind boxes are genuine or not. The blind box economy promoted its second-hand trade. The price of some classic dolls or dolls of limited edition have skyrocketed in second-hand trade platforms, and some may reach thirty to forty times. But it is difficult for buyers to judge whether it is the result of real supply and demand, or the ‎ consequence of businessmen’s tricks.‎ The basis of the “blind box economy” is the cultural trend of collection. Many of the target consumers are young people who have scanty experience of life. They are thus attracted by deliberately exaggerated probability of “winning a prize” and constantly throw money to buy blind boxes in order to gain dolls that they desire. Or they may buy at second-hand trade platform high-priced blind box dolls, thinking they can keep value preservation and appreciation, thus falling into the fixed pattern of trap carefully designed by businessmen. ‎ Therefore, it is necessary to remind young people to control their consumption in case they become addicted.‎ ‎24. A couple and a sixty-year-old guy are mentioned in Para.1 to ________. ‎ A. stress the importance of “blind box economy” to people B. tell how much money people spend on “blind box economy”‎ C. show the popularity of “blind box economy” among people D. prove older people can afford more to buy “blind box economy”‎ ‎25. Which may NOT be the contributing factor to “blind box economy”?‎ A. The fondness of gambling to bet on their luck. ‎ B. The high winning rate exaggerated by sellers.‎ C. The blind faith in the cultural trend of collection ‎ D. The possibility of making a fortune in second-hand trade.‎ ‎26. The underlined word “scanty” in Para. 4 probably means ________.‎ A. previous B. inadequate C. personal D. unforgettable ‎ ‎27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?‎ A. To inform readers of the “blind box economy”.‎ B. To promote the products of “blind box economy”.‎ C. To list the reasons behind the popularity of “blind box economy”.‎ D. To warn the consumers to think twice before buying blind boxes.‎ C For much of the 20th century, milk was a simple part of daily life in the U.S, as farmers raised cows, milkmen delivered bottles and children drank it at school. But those days are fading.‎ America has fallen out of love with drinking milk, as lower-calorie options have increased and ‎ people are replacing water bottles with milk cartons. Americans each drink an estimated 146 lb. of fluid milk in 2018, according to the USDA’s Economic Research Service. That may sound like a lot, but it's down by 26% just since 2000.‎ The downturn has been tough on dairy processors like Borden and Dean, which buy fresh milk from farms and use techniques like pasteurization (巴氏杀菌) to create a consumer-safe drink with a longer shelf life. For the past five years, thanks to technology that increased milk production, fresh-milk prices were relatively low, which meant processors could still earn some money even despite the decreasing demand. But prices began going up again last year, squeezing the processors’ already tight profits. “Declining sales in a thin-profit business is not a good recipe for success,” says Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin.‎ Milk processors are also facing competition from big retailers, which have set up their own processing plants. In 2018, Walmart opened a milk-processing plant in Indiana to serve hundreds of stores in the Midwest, taking away approximately 95 million gal of milk-processing business from Dean Foods.‎ On the other end of the supply chain, dairy farms are facing trouble of their own. The low prices left small farmers struggling across the industry. The number of farm bankruptcies （破产） in 2019 was up by 4% from the previous year. “We’re trying our best to hang on,” says Mary Rieckmann, a dairy farmer in Wisconsin whose family has turned to GoFundMe to keep their century-old farm running.‎ ‎28. What’s the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. Why some dairy farmers turn to GoFundMe. ‎ B. Why America’s milk industry get into much trouble. ‎ C. Why Americans consume less milk than before. ‎ D. Why big retailers set up their own processing plants. ‎ ‎29. It can be inferred from the passage that _________. ‎ A. An American consumes 146 lb fluid milk every year B. Technology in milk industry improves the production C. Walmart is probably not a target customer of Dean Foods now D. 2019 witnessed 4% more farm bankruptcies than the previous year ‎30. In which section of a newspaper may the passage appear?‎ A. Health B. Technology C. Life D. Economy ‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ There are two types of people in this world: those who can sleep on flights, and those who can’t. If you happen to be one of these unfortunate souls, you may fail to enjoy a long trip. Being sleep-deprived and jet-lagged, you’re unable to function for at least 72 hours. 31 ‎ Grab a row We all know the vital part of sleep is managing to lie down to create the illusion of being in a bed. 32 If you're limited to economy class, give yourself a fighting chance by choosing a middle seat when booking. Couples and families are unlikely to go either side of you, preferring to stick together. ‎ ‎ 33 ‎ It might seem silly, but preparing for “bed” the way you usually do at home means you’re more psychologically ready for sleep. Changing into pyjamas, brushing your teeth and removing your make-up can all get you in the right mindset. If you normally always read before bed, do it now too. These are signals to your brain that the “being awake” portion of the day is officially over.‎ Switch off ‎ 34 Plan when you ideally want to sleep and half an hour beforehand shut down the electronics. Instead, do a bit of reading or, better yet, indulge in a 20-minute meditation (冥想) to really calm the neurons.‎ No pressure Try not to put too much pressure on yourself; instead, just see it as a chance to rest your eyes for a bit. 35 If you do, it's a bonus. If you don't ... well, just hope they’ll accept your answer of “bleisure”（商务休闲旅游）as you walk unsteadily through security.‎ A. Stick to your routine B. Get the right sleeping mask C. But fear not—there are ways of securing more sleep.‎ D. Obviously, you can guarantee this by paying money for business class.‎ E. Using devices just before bed means your brain is all lit up like a Christmas tree.‎ F. It's easier said than done, but stressing about not being able to sleep is a certain way of not being able to sleep.‎ G. Get comfortable and relaxed, and remind yourself that it's not the end of the world if you fail to get some shuteye.‎ 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分45分) ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ Mevan Babakar had a difficult start in life. She and her parents 36 Iraq during the Gulf War in the 1990s. They travelled 37 Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia and eventually to the Netherlands, where Babakar and her mother lived for a year in a refugee camp (难民营). Child as she was, she used to think it could be the end of the world every day. Life was 38 and future to her, was a dream that would never come true. ‎ However, she never forgot the refugee camp worker all those years ago. That day, watching other children playing and running on the ground in the camp, she, 39 , stood there in the old coat and woolen cap, her face smudged with dirt.

Hardly believing her ears, she giggled 44 , covering her mouth with her dirty hands. ‎ The 45 gift made a lasting impact. “I remember feeling so special --- I remember thinking that this is such a big thing to receive, am I even worthy of this big thing?” Babakar said. “This 46 became the basis of my self-worth growing up.” From then on, she also believed that there would be hope; there would be chances, maybe very 47 , but they would be there.‎ Mevan Babakar, today aged 29, decided to 48 _ down the man and posted a faded photo of the two of them in the 49 on Twitter, which was among a handful of 50 she had from that time. To her surprise, within 36 hours, Egbert, who 51 for a nonprofit news site, was located in Germany. When the pair were reunited, they went through the old photos together and 52 stories about the refugee camp.‎ ‎ Mevan posted 53 photograph: “This is Egbert. He’s been helping refugees since the 90s. The bike was just a small gesture, 54 it had brought me back into my life.” Egbert’s kindness continued to 55 her.

His keen (灵敏的) sense of smell makes up for inability to see colors, ‎ and    57  (enable) him to differentiate between things.‎ Extensive scientific testing on dogs supports the conclusion that they live in 58 colorless world. The testing done primarily focused     59 the dogs’ responses to colors for food. Dogs could not tell the 60 (different) between one color, a signal for food, and other colors that were not for food. Similar tests 61 (conduct) on cats produced similar results, which led scientists to conclude that they, too, are colorblind and live in a gray world.‎ The inability of most animals to see colors is quite simple 62 (understand). Many colorblind animals have dark coats, hunt for food in the dark of night or graze (吃草) in the dim twilight (黄昏的）hours. Their other senses have developed to the point 63 the lack of color vision in no way weakens them. For them, life in a colorless world is neither a handicap, 64 a threat to their survival.‎ ‎ 65 is concluded that other than man the only animals with color vision are monkeys and apes. They can be trained to open a colored door, behind which is food.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） ‎ 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分)‎ 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Gary即将回国，他想送给母亲可以代表中国文化的礼物。请你给他写一封邮件，向他推荐一个或两个礼物。内容包括：‎ 1. 推荐礼物；‎ 2. 推荐理由。‎ 注意：‎ 1. 词数80左右；‎ 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 第二节 读后续写（满分25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。‎ In our kitchen, there was a wooden table and three chairs — one for Pa, one for Ma, and one for me. I tried not to look at Pa’s empty place. Pa had gone to the city to look for work. He had been gone for a long time.‎ Every night, lying awake in bed, I waited for the train to stop, waited for the sound of his work boots dropping on the step, and waited for his voice calling, “I’m home!”‎ Every night, as I lay there, I stared at the window and the curtains Ma made from empty flour sacks (面粉袋). Sometimes the train stopped — for someone else’s Pa coming home. Not mine, not yet.‎ Every night, Ma came to kiss me good-night — after the train had gone by. She had been listening, too. “Go to sleep. Your Pa’ll be home soon.

I ran into the kitchen. There he was! Pa lifted me onto his shoulders. “How’s my boy? You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”‎ He put me down, and I stared at the two sacks on the table. One said FLOUR. I tried reading the other: S-U-G-A-R. Pa whistled admiringly and winked (眨眼) at me. Ma didn’t say no when Pa sprinkled (撒) a bit of that precious white sugar on my bread.‎ Ma said, “I’m going to bake a pie for your Pa’s homecoming dinner. Go downstairs, Jimmy, and bring me that jar of apples.” She smiled at me with a “mind now” look.‎ There was no need. I knew how to be careful.

I stood on tiptoes to take down the jar. With both my hands around it, I hurried upstairs, thinking fondly of the delicious taste. Suddenly, my bare feet caught on the middle one.
