The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.‎ For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in the US schools. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contributions to literature.‎ ‎ Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared. The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she suggested that she had a story in progress.‎ ‎ In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations (谴责) arose that the 89-year-old Lee was unable to agree to the manuscript’s release, and that various parties had signed on her behalf.‎ ‎ Though Lee moved to New York in 1949, she spent many years guarding her privacy (隐私) in Monroeville, which served as the clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.‎ In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. The countless Americans knew her only through her works, and they will undoubtedly miss her.‎ ‎24. What can be learned about Harper Lee from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. She was regarded the greatest writer in America.‎ B. She made great contributions to American literature.‎ C. She once starred in a film adapted from her own novel.‎ D. She got her novels well accepted in most American schools.‎ ‎25. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?‎ A. She tried to get out of accusations. B. She wanted to write another novel.‎ C. She intended to avoid being bothered. D. She was afraid of being criticized.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman?‎ A. It is based on her own life story. B. It is adapted into a famous film.‎ C. It won her lots of honors and awards. D. It continues the story of her earlier novel.‎ ‎27. Which can be used to describe Harper Lee? ‎ A. Influential but simple. B. Ill-tempered but productive. ‎ C. Caring but stubborn. D. Inspiring but struggling.‎ C Education officials and industry experts are debating the future of online learning. The ‎ discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved classes online because of the spread of COVID-19.‎ For Asha Choksi, the rise of Internet-based or online study programs has led to major improvements in higher education. “It’s actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said. ‎ Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school. However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising online learning programs are not clear about the policies they have with the schools they serve.‎ ‎“Students see in-class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching. Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with the independent policy research group The Century Foundation. “Students need to experience...what they’re learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom. And I don’t know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that.” ‎ ‎“When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs, they often do not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the faculty leading the classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online programs as a low cost opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person classes get financial aid and online students do not.‎ ‎28. What does Choksi think of the online study programs?‎ A. They offer students more choices in study.‎ B. They reform the country’s education system.‎ C. They provide advanced scientific knowledge.‎ D. They promote the development of technology.‎ ‎29. According to most college students and professors, what’s the advantage of in-person learning? ‎ A. It is convenient. ‎ B. It costs less to study.‎ C. It can better meet school policies. ‎ D. It can improve students’ communication skills.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 4?‎ A. Change. B. Apply. C. Achieve. D. Control. ‎ ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the research results? ‎ A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Objective.‎ D Everyone knows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases—clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived (复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.‎ Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death. ‎ ‎ To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous (自发的) breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal. ‎ ‎32. Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “ceased” __________.‎ A. stopped B. delayed C. postponed D. lengthened ‎33. Why do scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer?‎ A. cool the organism. ‎ B. delay the coming of biological death. ‎ C. slow down the body’s metabolism. ‎ D. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life. ‎ ‎34. How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death? ‎ A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood. ‎ B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood. ‎ C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating. ‎ D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing. ‎ ‎35. All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state EXCEPT the fact that __________.‎ A. her heart beat again. ‎ B. she rejected a penicillin injection. ‎ C. she regained her normal breath. ‎ D. she acted as lively as a healthy monkey. ‎ 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The history of chocolate begins with a plant whose name is cacao. For centuries, people worldwide have been enjoying the rich favor of chocolate, a product made from cacao 36 . Americans eat an average of more than five kilograms of chocolate per person every year. The specialty shop shows the culture of chocolate and sells chocolates from different areas of the world.‎ ‎ Historians believe the Mayan people of Central America first learned to farm cacao plants around 2, 000 years ago 37 . Then they grew them around their homes. They cooked the cacao seeds and pressed them into soft powder. They mixed the powder with water to make a delicious chocolate drink. There are often images of cacao plants on Maya buildings and art objects. The rulers drank chocolate at ceremonies 38 .‎ ‎ The Aztecs also valued chocolate in the Aztec culture. But the cacao plant could not grow in the area where they lived 39 . They even used cacao seeds as a form of money to pay or give as offerings to the gods. Only the very wealthy people in Aztec societies could afford to drink chocolate because cacao was so valuable.‎ ‎ The explorer Christopher Columbus brought cacao seeds to Spain after his trip to Central America in 1502. The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed the chocolate drink 40 . Nowadays, the English, Dutch and French all plant cacao trees in their own countries.‎ A. Chocolate is very sensitive to temperature.‎ B. Chocolate is especially popular in the United States.‎ C. The Mayan took the cacao trees from the rainforests.‎ D. Chocolate has been prepared as a drink for nearly all of its history.‎ E. So they had to exchange goods with other societies for cacao seeds.‎ F. Since then, the popularity of the drink has spread throughout Europe.‎ G. And even poorer members of Mayan society could enjoy the drink sometimes.‎ 第三部分 语言运用 （共三节, 满分40分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分）‎ 请阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每小题所给A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ For his graduate thesis (论文), a German student, called Jorg, rode 5, 800 kilometers in China to learn about the Chinese Dream among common people.‎ ‎“What’s your Chinese Dream?” This is the question he asked every stranger he 41 on his 100-day journey.

Most people from the East hold the 56 (believe) that wearing a mask is essential to control the spread of COVID-19. But people in the West generally would argue that, unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is 57 (simple) unnecessary. ‎ In many Asian countries, masks 58 (wear) in many scenes in daily life, such as doing housework or visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of 59 (protect). In recent years, masks are usually used 60 cosmetic reasons. Young people in Japan, for example, wear masks as a fashion statement, expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns. Besides, wearing a face mask in Asia is also 61 expression of group-centered values. With one’s face partly covered, one becomes part of a giant collectivist whole. In Western countries, 62 , individual values are the most important. ‎ As a citizen, it is one’s duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic procedures, such as washing one’s hands and limiting one’s contact with others. A face mask is reserved only for those 63 show symptoms of illness. ‎ Whether from the East or the West, social culture and peer pressure have played an important role in one’s decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That’s because human beings are 64 (society) creatures who take into consideration 65 other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others’ opinions, no matter how different they are.‎ 第三节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据首字母、所给的词或汉语提示完成句子。‎ ‎66.

Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira (a unit of currency in Nigeria). Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 totals for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.‎ When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.‎ I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him.‎ ‎“I...I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”‎ When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks.

He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you. Hopefully, you can enjoy them!” ‎ 听力原文 Text 1 W: Thousands of young people participate in this world-class competition per year.‎ M: Yes.
