Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2020·海口调研)I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness, I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: It is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote:“The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing.” So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.

(2020·江西三校联考)When I was three years old, I couldn’t speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing(尾随) my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿) her mouth’s movements until I formed a word.
It turned out that I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of selfhating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’s my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”, and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my “bad ear”, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren’t those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it’s not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hardofhearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations—I’m lucky. I’

7

【解题导语】 人类活动导致许多动物在夜间保持清醒以保持警惕状态。
1.to avoid 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:一项新的研究发现,狮子、老虎以及其他的动物在夜间保持清醒旨在避开人类。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
2.from 解析:考查固定搭配。keep away from...“远离……”,为固定搭配。
3.looking 解析:考查固定用法。spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”,为固定用法。
4.frighten 解析:考查动词。句意:最新的研究表明,
7
即使像务农和野营这样的活动也会惊吓到动物,进而导致它们夜间变得更加活跃。情态动词can后应接动词原形,故应用名词fright的动词形式frighten。
5.What 解析:考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语,故填What。
6.carefully 解析:考查副词。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词。
7.It 解析:考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,去掉______ was和that之后,句子表意完整,故该句为强调句型“It was+被强调部分+that+其他成分”。
8.were published 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,谓语动词publish和句子的主语Results之间是被动关系,且根据时间状语two months ago可知,描述的是发生在过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态。
9.unusual 解析:考查形容词。句意:因为先前没人对此进行过如此详细的研究,所以这些新的发现显得不同寻常。
10.surprised 解析:考查形容词。此处为过去分词作表语,表示主语Marlee Tucker的状态,故用形容词surprised。
