He's a dad so good that after he was done raising his own kids, he took to YouTube to do some more dadding to millions of complete and total strangers in need.‎ Rob Kenney's childhood had a theme that, sadly, is not at all uncommon for American kids: fatherlessness. His father left his family when he was just twelve years old, and statistics say that lines up with the experience of about 25% of kids today. Many lessons a dad would teach a kid, he just had to learn on his own. However, Kenney swore that his own kids would not have that experience, and after successfully raising two kids into two adults, he's branching out to help fatherless kids just like him in the coolest way possible.‎ Kenney has started a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?" to show fatherless kids a variety of “how to' s" over the everyday tasks of living. From “how to tie a tie" to "how to shave your face" to "how to check your car's oil" , Kenney, s videos are readily understood, though almost entirely unedited.‎ In the past week, thanks to some viral posts on Twitter and Facebook by influencers, Kenney's channel has gone from a handful of subscribers to 1.97 million! It just goes to show you how much his " Practical 'Dadvice' for everyday tasks" is needed and appreciated by fatherless kids everywhere --- not to mention adults who just plain don ' t know how to do stuff. The viewers ' comments on Kenney's YouTube channel can move even the hard-hearted to tears.‎ ‎24. What's the author's main purpose of writing the text?‎ A. To celebrate Father's Day.‎ B. To introduce a kind father.‎ C. To stress the major role fathers play.‎ D. To warn people against the pandemic.‎ ‎25. Why did Kenney create his YouTube channel?‎ A. To make a name for himself.‎ B. To set an example to his kids.‎ C. To direct parents to bring up their kids.‎ D. To teach fatherless kids to do everyday things.‎ ‎26. What does the author think of Kenney's videos?‎ A. Complex. B. Well edited. C. Slightly abstract. D. Straightforward.‎ ‎27. What does the last paragraph tell us about Kenney?‎ A. The popularity of his channel.‎ B. His thanks to enthusiastic posters.‎ C. The necessity of updating his videos.‎ D. His comments on hard-hearted viewers.‎ C Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we discard is e-waste ---electronic items that are broken and not recycled. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Now ways are being found to give it a new life.‎ There's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing ‎ amount of electrical and electronic garbage. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo said, “This project allows you to reduce waste, lengthen the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault."‎ Electronics consist of materials like plastic, metals, chemicals and glass. As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales includes extracting （提取）these materials from electronic items. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 components, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.‎ These projects make total sense 一 collections of e-waste for recycling are not progressing or even decreasing according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there are no recycling laws, much of it is got rid of. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to settle the problem by insisting business firms have to make appliances longer-lasting and have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “discard" in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. throw away B. take apart C. make the best of D. put together ‎29. What does the Restart Project in London help people do?‎ ‎　第11页　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　第12页 A. Collect electronic garbage.‎ B. Use their electronics longer.‎ C. Buy good-quality electronics.‎ D. Get jobs in recycling companies.‎ ‎30. Which part of electrical items can be mined and used again?‎ A. Hard plastic. B. Precious metals.‎ C. Toughened glass. D. Various chemicals.‎ ‎31. What is suggested in the last paragraph about the problem of e-waste?‎ A. Improving recycling process. B. Replacing spare parts timely.‎ C. Making e-waste recycling laws. D. Using electronics permanently.‎ D Red pandas are native to the high forests of Asia.They are only a little bigger than a house cat and considered to be endangered.‎ Scientists reported last month that not all red pandas belong to the same species.There are two different species of this animal,not just one.The scientists reported finding major differences in three genetic markers between Chinese red pandas and Himalayan red pandas. Scientists identified the markers after studying DNA from 65 of the creatures.DNA carries genetic information for the development,growth and reproduction of living things. Documenting the existence of two separate species could help guide efforts for protecting red pandas.‎ Chinese red pandas live in northern Myanmar,as well as southeastern Tibet,Sichuan,‎ and Yunnan provinces in China.Himalayan red pandas are native to Nepal,India,Bhutan and southern Tibet in China.Conservation biologists Yibo Hu and Fuwen Wei led the study. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances.‎ ‎＂To conserve the genetic uniqueness of the two species,we should avoid their interbreeding in captivity,"Hu said."Interbreeding between species may harm the genetic adaptations already established for their local habitat environment."‎ Scientists had earlier suggested there were two species of red panda.But the new study was the first to provide the genetic information necessary to permit such a judgment. International experts estimate a total population of around 10,000 red pandas in the wild.The two species differ in coloration and skull shape.The Himalayan red panda is the rarer of the two.Major threats to red pandas include deforestation and habitat loss.‎ While they have similar names,red pandas and giant pandas are not closely related.Giant pandas are one of the world's eight bear species.Red pandas are sometimes called living fossils because they have no close living relatives.They are the only remaining member of their mammalian family.‎ ‎32.What does the second paragraph mainly deal with?‎ A.Not all red pandas belong to the same species.‎ B.The major differences between the two species.‎ C.The difficulty in finding out genetic difference.‎ D.The significance for further research into pandas.‎ ‎33.Where can Himalayan red pandas be found?‎ A.Bhutan. B.Yunnan province C.Southeastern Tibet D.Northern Myanmar ‎34.What is Yibo Hu's attitude to interbreeding between species?‎ A.Disapproving B.Doubtful C. Objective D.Unclear.‎ ‎35.What can be said about the Himalayan red panda?‎ A.People used to care little about it.‎ B.Its living conditions are improving.‎ C.Habitat loss is a great threat to it.‎ D.Its skull shapes are easy to distinguish.‎ 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。‎ Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages. 36 People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self-help books, workshops, and from the advice of other people.‎ ‎ 37 Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking, restating what the other person has said — or what comes across — in a brief and nonjudgmental manner. 38 Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship, whether it is a personal or professional one.‎ Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication. Before giving speeches and presentations, it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation. 39 ‎ It also is essential in developing communication skills to use appropriate body language and eye contact. 40 For example, using direct eye contact and body language that indicates openness, such as uncrossed arms, can help to get across that a person is ready and willing to listen and to speak openly.‎ A. It is essential to learn how to communicate politely.‎ B. These nonverbal signals can convey the true feelings.‎ C. Most people can benefit from improving their communication skills.‎ D. Being active listening doesn’t mean people have to employ it continuously.‎ E. This kind of listening focuses more on understanding than on giving advice.‎ F. By doing so, we can ensure the messages are easily understood and come across as intended.‎ G. One of the best tips for developing communication skills is to learn and practice effective listening.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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）‎ ‎1. 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Yesterday I saw a little girl wandering in the toy section alone while I was shopping in a store.When her mom 　41　 her, the mom looked worried, talking something about the importance of not　42　 to her girl. ‎ They were in the 　43　 for long looking at things and the mom had not got her 　44　 done yet.She kept threatening her daughter that if she didn’t stay 　45　 she would call her dad.They were a little loud and one of the employees actually was 　46　 to them. ‎ The mom seemed unsettled (心神不安的) but the little girl was pretty patient.A voice inside 　47　 told me that I needed to do something for them.However, I just couldn’t 　48　 what felt right, so I just got in line 　49　 them and began to chat a little bit with the mom. ‎ It seemed that she really had to edit herself as far as what she could buy.Then when she 　50　 to make her purchase, I 　51　 to the clerk that I would pay for her and 　52　 him my card secretly.When ‎ ‎　第11页　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　第12页 the clerk told her that someone else was paying for her, she was 　53　.The moment she saw me sign the bill, she 　54　 me and talked more, “This isn’t my 　55　 daughter.My oldest daughter, who was 17, died earlier this year.”  ‎ It was then that I 　56　 why she kept her little girl close and why I felt such a strong 　57　 to help.One of the things they bought was a little wooden duck.Her daughter 　58　 at me for it.I smiled back. ‎ You never know what someone’s story might be, but you can surely make a 　59　 with a little bit 60　. ‎ ‎41.A.checked B.found C.left D.heard ‎ ‎42.A.taking off B.putting off C.getting off D.wandering off ‎43.A.store B.street C.town D.mood ‎44.A.package B.negotiation C.purchase D.greeting ‎45.A.away B.close C.polite D.honest ‎ ‎46.A.cruel B.mild C.modest D.rude ‎47.A.constantly B.normally C.immediately D.eventually ‎ ‎48.A.come up with B.feed up with C.put up with D.get along with ‎49.A.before B.behind C.with D.through ‎ ‎50.A.continued B.started C.failed D.hesitated ‎ ‎51.A.shouted B.mouthed C.spoke D.yelled ‎ ‎52.A.brought B.conveyed C.handed D.lent ‎53.A.confused B.alarmed C.amused D.scared ‎ ‎54.A.begged B.treated C.thanked D.guided ‎ ‎55.A.last B.good C.real D.only ‎56.A.realized B.wondered C.assumed D.supposed ‎57.A.desire B.taste C.fight D.hope ‎ ‎58.A.waved B.glanced C.stared D.smiled ‎59.A.comment B.difference C.decision D.request ‎ ‎60.A.service B.encouragement C.forgiveness D.kindness 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡相应的位置上。‎ Autumn is the best time to visit China. The temperatures throughout the country are milder 61 (compare)with the extremes in winter and summer.

It is high time that we teenagers should strengthen our immune system. ‎ To have a healthy lifestyle is of great importance. First of all, a balanced healthy diet is a must for teenagers, which provides the body with different nutrients to be stronger enough to fight many diseases. Besides, sleep is necessary for our health. As we know, sleeping is to our body what gas is to an engine. It can guarantee us sufficient energy to study hard next day. Finally, to keep fit, it is very necessary to take more exercise. You know, the importance of exercise can never be too stressed. We need to do more like jogging and running, which can keep us energetic. ‎ Nothing could be more important than owning a healthy body in the world. Keep doing these, and you’ll be healthier and healthier.‎ 听力原文：‎ 第一节 Text 1‎ M: Who will join us for dinner tonight?‎ W: Bob and Candy. I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.‎ M: What a pity!

Thanks, Jane.‎ Text 7‎ W: Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It’s so early.‎ M: Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don’t want to be late.‎ W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don’t think there’s scenery to look at.‎ M: Don’t worry! I’ll take a book with me.‎ W: It’s too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.‎ M: But I’ve already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don’t need to buy anything. If I really can’t focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven’t talked to in a while.‎ W: That’s a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list so that she’d not miss anything in the days to come.‎ M: That’s an awesome idea. I’ll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.‎ W: Bye!‎ Text 8‎ W: Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What’s the matter?‎ M: Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer at his service station, and with good pay.‎ W: That’s wonderful, but are you going to quit college?‎ M: That’s exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to college anytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour? That’s $30,000 a year!”‎ W: And then?‎ M: And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now…”‎ W: I can see it. It’s true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now.

Can I talk to you for a minute?‎ M: Sure, what’s up?‎ W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.‎ M: Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?‎ W: Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?‎ M: No, I think that’s okay. What do you talk about in the group?‎ W: Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.‎ M: What books have you read?‎ W: Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.‎ M: The Kite Runner? I’ve heard that’s a good book. What’s it about?‎ W: It’s about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.‎ M: That sounds interesting. I’d love to come.‎ W: Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.‎ Text 10‎ W: Today, let’s begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future. I’d like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First, remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing, so don’t try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases, not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are very good at making use of color, mapping web, and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎　第11页　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　第12页
