W: I’ll give Susan a call this week.

When the Johnson family moved from California to New York, they couldn’t find their dog and they were sad to leave him behind. About a month later, Milton showed up at their doorstep in New York. We cannot believe how far this dog traveled! The family will be doing an interview in the studio tomorrow morning. In other news, there’s been an outbreak of car thefts in Orange County this week. About ten cars have been stolen from outside their owners’ homes since Monday. If you see or hear anything, please call 911. About ten people found themselves stuck on a roller coaster after it broke down at the Six Flags theme park on Tuesday in Union City. The victims swung upside down for around three minutes as staff worked to restart the roller coaster. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Six Flags has said that they check their rides very seriously, and that this was simply an unfortunate accident. That’s it for the news. When we come back from a commercial break, Michelle Smith will be here with the weather report.

Earlier this year, we asked our readers to vote for their favorite children's museums. Shortly after announcing the winners, these museums had to close their doors to help protect their communities from the spread of COVID-19. But they also bring some of their programming online.
The Magic House | St. Louis, Missouri
The folks at The Magic House in St. Louis are sharing their expertise through their Magic at Home series. Each edition features a project that kids and their parents can do with household materials, like making a banjo or animal figures.
City Museum | St. Louis, Missouri
While the City Museum is closed to visitors, the museum staff, artists and historians have launched City Museum on Air. This series takes place each weekday with an eclectic lineup of programming - everything from free art classes, storytelling sessions and museum tours at upcoming exhibits.
Kohl Children's Museum | Glenview, Illinois
This winning children's museum calls itself "The place where awesome lives," and would-be visitors can bring that awesome into the home through its library of online teaching resources, story time sessions and "Home Zone" projects. Kids can learn how to fold paper airplanes, learn about the physics of wheels or make their own recycled paper.

My parents owned a neighborhood bar called the M Ninety-Seven, named for a nearby highway, on the comer of State Fair and Hoover Avenues in Detroit. Built in the '30s, it had a long wooden bar that was on the right as you walked in. I grew up in the bar. When most kids my age were at the park playing ball or riding bikes, I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard (沙狐球).
My father spent his entire life serving drinks and bringing cheer to customers. There were the white-collars who would stop in to unwind from the day's stress. They would bend elbows with the blue-collars and day laborers on either side of them. It always surprised me that they were able to mingle(交往).I would sit at the last table by the kitchen, sipping Cokes and eating a bag of Better Made potato chips with my twin sister, watching it all.
It was the 1960s version of a reality show. There was Big Bill, the tough talking policeman who stood six and a half feet tall and weighed just shy of the beer truck he drank daily. His views on society could be hard to listen to at times. But one night, he showed that he was all talk. While Bill was on patrol (巡逻),a call came over the radio about an apartment fire. He raced scout car to the scene, beating even the fire crew. The building was ablaze. He ran up three flights of stairs through smoke and flames to rescue two frightened children. Bill carried them out in his arms like each was a carton of eggs. The man with an explosive mouth but a keg-sized heart had saved the day.
Years passed, my father died, and the bar was sold. Like secondhand smoke, the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me.
24. What did the author want to tell us by the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
A. His family built a wooden bar.
B. He didn't play with kids at the park.
C. He liked making friends with old men.
D. He was familiar with everything in the bar.
25. What's the purpose for the white-collars to go to the bar?
A. To drink beer. B. To watch others.
C. To communicate. D. To relax themselves.
26. Which of the following can best describe Bill?
A. Rude and careless. B. lough but a little bit shy.
C. Complaining but responsible. D. Talkative and narrow-hearted.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The bar impressed the writer a lot.
B The father didn't manage the bar well.
C. Secondhand smoke is similar to the bar.
D. The writer has nothing to do with the bar.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者从小在父母经营的酒吧里长大,在酒吧里的所见所闻对作者的影响很深。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。句意:我在酒吧里长大。根据画线句子下一句内容“When most kids my age were at the park playing ball or riding bikes, I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard.(当我这个年纪的孩子在公园打球或骑自行车时,我却在看老人打台球和玩沙狐球。)”可知,作者从小不像其他的孩子一样在玩乐中度过童年,而是在酒吧里看客人,可以推出,作者对酒吧里的一切十分熟悉。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“There were the white-collars who would stop in to unwind from the day's stress. (有很多白领,他们会停下来放松一天的压力。)”可知,白领们到这里是为了放松自己。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But one night, he showed that he was all talk. (但有一天晚上,他一直在说。)”可知他在抱怨,结合他当晚讲话的内容“While Bill was on patrol (巡逻),a call came over the radio about an apartment fire. He raced scout car to the scene, beating even the fire crew.(Bill在巡逻时,收音机里传来公寓失火的消息。他驾驶巡逻车冲向现场,甚至和消防队员一起灭火)”可知他是负责任的。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Like secondhand smoke, the words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me.(酒吧里的那些话和场景就像二手烟一样萦绕在我的脑海里。)可知酒吧给作者留下的印象非常深刻。故选A。
【点睛】阅读理解中推测人物性格特征题型的解题方法需要注重原文对人物性格,特点和事迹的描述,根据描述的特点推测出适合的形容词。如第三题,首先对警察Bill的描述是“tough talking”不爱说话,到下文的转折“But one night, he showed that he was all talk. (但有一天晚上,他一直在说。)”可知他在抱怨;结合他当晚讲话的内容“While Bill was on patrol (巡逻),a call came over the radio about an apartment fire. He raced scout car to the scene, beating even the fire crew.(Bill在巡逻时,收音机里传来公寓失火的消息。他驾驶巡逻车冲向现场,甚至和消防队员一起灭火)”可知他是负责任的。故可选C。
C
The food delivery industry now is a hotly competitive business, attracting the world's biggest moneybags such as Amazon, Alibaba and Soft-Bank. Balancing the needs of diners, cooks and couriers(快递员)is complicated. Most new companies lose money. Yet they have received more than $30bn from venture capitalists (投资家)in the past five years. And they are likely to get more.
The food-delivery business can be divided into two camps: mostly profitable veterans(老牌公司)and loss-making newcomers. The veterans, founded at the start of the century, are led by publicly traded Grubhub in America, and Just Eat and Takeaway in Europe. They account for the largest share of the market, offering customers online access to restaurants. Their relatively simple business model, in which they take a cut of the bill from the restaurants, has enabled Grubhub and Just Eat to turn a profit for years. Takeaway makes money in its home market of the Netherlands.
The newbies, born more recently, have turned a once-tidy business into a food fight. For most of them, delivery is their core business, so they share their cut of the bill with riders as well as restaurants. This substantially broadens the market to restaurants but profit suffers.
The only mouthwatering aspect of the delivery business is its potential size. According to Bernstein, a brokerage(经济公司),almost a third of the global restaurant industry is made up of home delivery, takeaway and drive-throughs, which could be worth $l tm by 2023. In 2019 delivery amounted to $161bn, leaving plenty of room for online firms to expand.
Yet it is by no means clear if anyone can make money by delivering meals. In fact, the economics may be even worse. Delivery businesses have ways to cut their losses. One is to diversify further, by delivering groceries, flowers, booze, and even people, as well as meals. Another is to provide cheaper meals by centrally supplying ingredients to restaurants. In the dog — eat — dog world of food delivery, it will still be hard.
28. How can the veterans make a profit?
A. They get lots of support from capitalists.
B. They offer customers great convenience.
C. They draw a part of profit from restaurants.
D. They balance the complicated needs successfully.
29. What makes the delivery business attractive?
A. Massive profits. B. Development prospect.
C. Satisfying service. D. Efficient management.
30. What is the author's attitude towards making money by delivering meals?
A. Positive. B. Definite. C. Uncertain. D. Confident.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Delivery businesses balance some complicated needs.
B. Meal delivery attracts the world's biggest moneybags.
C. The two camps of delivery businesses compete fiercely.
D. The food-delivery business is anything but a tasty business.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文作者结合具体的实例告诉我们外卖送餐绝不是个香饽饽。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Their relatively simple business model, in which they take a cut of the bill from the restaurants, has enabled Grubhub and Just Eat to turn a profit for years. ”可知,他们相对简单的商业模式,即从餐馆收取一定的费用,使得Grubhub和Just Eat多年来都能盈利。由此可知,老牌公司从餐馆收取一部分费用获取利润。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The only mouthwatering aspect of the delivery business is its potential size. ”可知,快递业务唯一让人垂涎欲滴的是它的潜在规模。由此可知,快递业的发展前景让快递业很吸引人。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Yet it is by no means clear if anyone can make money by delivering meals.”可知,然而,目前还不清楚是否有人能通过送餐来赚钱。由此可推知,作者对于通过送餐挣钱的态度是不确定的。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章,并结合第一段第一句“The food delivery industry now is a hotly competitive business, attracting the world's biggest moneybags such as Amazon, Alibaba and Soft-Bank.(外卖行业现在是一个竞争激烈的行业,吸引了亚马逊(Amazon)、阿里巴巴(Alibaba)和软银行(soft bank)等全球最大的富豪。)”和最后一段“Yet it is by no means clear if anyone can make money by delivering meals. (目前还不清楚是否有人能通过送餐来赚钱。)”可知,短文的最佳标题为“送餐业务绝不是香饽饽”。故选D。
D
Have you ever wondered why hair turns gray as you get older and whether there is something you can do to prevent graying or at least slow it down? Here's a look at what causes hair to turn gray and some of the factors that affect graying.
The age at which you'll get your first gray hair (supposing your hair doesn't simply fall out) is largely decided by genetics. You'll probably get that first strand (缕)of gray hair around the same age your parents and grandparents started to go gray. However, the rate at which the graying progresses is somewhat under your own control. Smoking is known to increase the rate of graying. Generally poor nutrition, insufficient B vitamins, anemia, and untreated thyroid (甲状腺)conditions can also speed the rate of graying.
What causes your hair's color to change? That has to do with the process controlling the production of the paint called melanin (黑色素),the same material that tans your skin in response to sunlight. Every hair cell contains melanin cells called melanocytes. The melanocytes produce eumelanin(真黑素),which is black or dark brown, and pheomelanin, which is reddish-yellow, and pass the melanin to the cells which produce keratin (角蛋白), the chief protein in hair. When the keratin-producing cells die, they keep the coloring from the melanin. When you first start to go gray, the melanocytes are still present, but they become less active. Less paint is kept into the hair so it appears lighter.
As graying progresses, the melanocytes die off until there aren't any cells left to produce the color. While this is a normal and unavoidable part of the aging process and is not of itself associated with disease, some autoimmune diseases can cause premature graying. However, some people start going gray in their 20s and are perfectly healthy.
Extreme shock or stress can also cause your hair to go gray very quickly, though not overnight.
32. What determines your first strand of gray hair?
A. Genes. B. Ages. C. Nutrition. D. Disease.
33. What does the underlined word “tans” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Avoids. B. Protects.
C. Sunburns. D. Covers.
34. What do we know about melanin in paragraph 3?
A. It helps the hair keep shining. B. It can prevent the hair turning gray.
C. It is mainly made of hair protein. D. It makes the hair look lighter.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of hair changes.
B. The causes of hair turning gray.
C. The factors of hair components.
D. Relationship between gray hair and health.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了头发变灰白的原因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The age at which you'll get your first gray hair (supposing your hair doesn't simply fall out) is largely decided by genetics. (你第一次长出白头发的年龄(假设你的头发不是简单地脱落)很大程度上是由基因决定的。)”可知,基因决定了你何时长第一缕白发。故选A。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后前“ That has to do with the process controlling the production of the paint called melanin (黑色素)”和“your skin in response to sunlight. ”可知,黑色素是一种能在阳光下晒黑皮肤的物质。由此可推知,划线单词 “tans”的意思晒黑的意思与sunburn意思相同。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“What causes your hair's color to change? That has to do with the process controlling the production of the paint called melanin (黑色素),the same material that tans your skin in response to sunlight. (是什么使你的头发变色?这与控制一种名为黑色素的颜料的生产过程有关,黑色素是一种能在阳光下晒黑皮肤的物质。)”和“ When the keratin-producing cells die, they keep the coloring from the melanin. When you first start to go gray, the melanocytes are still present, but they become less active. Less paint is kept into the hair so it appears lighter.( 当产生角蛋白的细胞死亡时,它们会阻止黑色素的产生。当你开始变灰的时候,黑素细胞仍然存在,但是它们变得不那么活跃了。头发上保留的颜料较少,所以看起来比较浅。)”由此判断出,黑色素可以阻止头发变灰白。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章内容,并结合第一段“Here's a look at what causes hair to turn gray and some of the factors that affect graying.(下面我们来看看是什么导致头发变灰,以及一些影响变灰的因素。)”可知,本文讲述了头发变灰白的原因。故选B。

60. what 61. sustainable
62. courses
63. contributing
64. have been

【解析】
本文是一篇演讲稿,是“自然母亲网络”网站的联合创始人Chuck Leavell 在该网站被并入到 “拥抱树木者”网站时发表的一篇演讲,倡议大家继续关注“拥抱树木者”网站,为保护环境做些贡献。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:我也是“自然母亲网络”网站的联合创始人,该网站前几天被并入到“树木拥抱着”网站中。根据时间状语the other day(前几天)可知,句子是叙述过去的情况,应该用一般过去时;which引导定语从句,指代先行词the website Mother Nature Network,作主语,是单数,与谓语动词integrate之间是逻辑上的被动关系,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was integrated。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:我非常激动也很高兴地宣布,作为我们“树木拥抱者”大家庭的特约编辑和大使,我现在正式成为“树木拥抱着”的团队成员。修饰名词短语a team member of Treehugger,应该用副词形式。故填officially。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我非常激动也很高兴地宣布,作为我们“树木拥抱者”大家庭特约编辑和大使,我现在正式成为“树木拥抱者”的团队成员。此处用不定冠词an表示数量,意思为“一名,一位”;ambassador的发音是以元音音素开头,因此用不定冠词an。故填an。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们知道它是我们要继承下去的家族土地,但不知道该怎么做。句子的主语是inherited,故know用现在分词,句子主语we和know之间为逻辑上的主动关系,因此用现在分词作状语。故填Knowing。
【60题详解】
考查连接词。句意:我们知道它是我们要继承下去的家族土地,但不知道该怎么做。短语do with意思为“处理,应对”,常和连接代词what连用;短语what …do with“如何处理/ 应对”。故填what。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们研究了各种选择,决定为长期、可持续发展的林业种植树木。修饰名词forestry应该用形容词形式;sustain是动词,形容词形式为sustainable。故填sustainable。
【62题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意:我们学习了有关林业的书籍,参加了各种各样的课程,尽可能多地学习这门学科。course是可数名词;根据various可知是“各种课程”,course应用复数形式。故填courses。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当我开始我的角色时,我期待着以多种方式为“树木拥抱者”做些贡献。短语look forward to 意思为“期望,期待”,其中to是介词,后接动名词作宾语。故填contributing。
64题详解】
考查时态。句意:我一直以来都是“树木拥抱者”的粉丝。根据时间状语all this time“一直以来”,句子应该用现在完成时;be是不规则变化动词,过去分词为been。故填have been。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:所以,在我加入这个由杰出而有才华的作家、研究人员和热爱环境主题并热心地寻找方法和行动来改善我们的地球的人们组成的团队时,请继续关注! 此处是短语 have a passion for“对……有强烈的爱好,对……有热情。”故填for。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整 的短文。
Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉)as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a dumb idea," Jenny complained mostly to herself
"What's that?” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.
"Nothing," Jenny mumbled (咕哝).The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny's parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny's age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny's mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
"Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers."
"Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school!"
"So?" her mother asked. "That's good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!" She said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read: “Many friends are found with a single

She placed the cookies down, and bravely looked the girls in the eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Jenny absently read the fortune cookie paper. She suddenly realized something. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal, but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth. Then, she put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Jenny sighed. Mustering up her courage, she approached the table where the twins and their parents were finishing their meal.
She placed the cookies down, and bravely looked the girls in the eyes. “Thank you for coming to our restaurant!” Jenny said with a smile. “Oh, fortune cookies, I love these!” cried one of the girls, reaching for the tray. The other sister looked at Jennie carefully and her eyes lit up with recognition. Then they introduced themselves to each other. Everyone was very happy and they talked a lot about their school and classmates. Later they made an appointment to hang out together. Jenny tried to downplay the swell of happiness she felt, but she wasn’t succeeding.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,父母买了一家小餐馆,Jenny一家就搬到了新家。珍妮对搬新家不是很高兴。在新的学校,她很难适应。在餐馆开业那天,珍妮在招待客人时遇到了班上的一对双胞胎同学和她们的父母一起来吃饭。珍妮不知道怎么和他们打招呼,就躲到了厨房。妈妈发现了,鼓励她拿为客人准备的幸运饼去招待同学。
【详解】续写部分分为两段。
第1段开头是:珍妮心不在焉地读着幸运饼包装纸上的话。 接下来应该写她突然意识到什么。自己先撕开包装纸,尝了一块幸运饼。觉得又甜又脆。然后拿起一些幸运饼放进小托盘里,鼓起勇气,走到那对双胞胎吃饭的桌子前。
第2
段开头是:她把饼干放下,勇敢地直视着两个女孩的眼睛。下面应该写珍妮对那两个女孩和父母来到餐厅表示感谢,并且赠送给他们幸运饼干。一个女孩说非常喜欢这些饼干,另外一个女孩认出了她们是同学。于是他们高兴地交谈了起来。珍妮感到非常高兴。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,重点突出,同时表达时也使用了很多高级词汇,如realize;grab;give out;gather courage;approach;thank sb. for;reach for;light up;introduce sb. to;talk about;make an appointment;downplay;succeed 等;还运用了复杂的句式,如定语从句的运用 Mustering up her courage, she approached the table where the twins and their parents were finishing their meal.;现在分词作状语的运用…cried one of the girls, reaching for the tray;并列句式的运用,使句子紧凑The other sister looked at Jennie carefully and her eyes lit up with recognition等。
