It is 1953, and I have walked these blocks many times on my way to the room I rent off campus. I get off the bus after leaving the library at ten o’clock in the evening holding books in my ‎ arms, with a purse hanging from a strap（肩带） on my shoulder.‎ My landlady works the night shift at the hospital, so at this hour, the house will be as dark and blank as the others on this street. Everything is quiet and closed. Far ahead is a streetlight. I am thinking about a paper due in a few days. What theme should I explore? Will the professor admire or dismiss it? Why are we reading Dreiser anyway?‎ I notice headlights coming toward me. A car is driving slowly down the street on the other side. As it passes, I glance at the driver—male, blond. I keep walking. The car slows down and stops. I hear its door slam shut. A few seconds later, I hear footsteps behind me. I keep walking; I do not speed up, because I don’t want to call attention to myself. The walker may be going to a house nearby, visiting a friend. Besides, what would be the point of hurrying, running?‎ I still have to get my door key from my purse. When I reach my house, I will have to walk upstairs to the porch（走廊）, and fumble in the dark for my key. Then he will climb the steps behind me, put his right hand over my mouth, knock me down on the porch floor, scattering my books and the contents of my purse. There is no one to see. He will hold me down with one hand squeezing my throat, search my body for any valuables with the other, and say, “Don’t fight me; don’t fight.”‎ I am exhausted. The scene I have imagined is detailed, brutal, and unbearable. I cannot live through what I expect.‎ I stop. I turn around and wait for him. I wait and wait until he catches up to where I stand, with nothing to defend myself but the urgency to escape not what might happen but what has already happened in my mind.‎ He comes close, closer. I can see his eyes (or I think I can).‎ ‎“Will you please leave me alone.” It is neither a question nor a scream. My voice is low, conversational. Nothing can be worse than what I have imagined.‎ He pauses. “I’m not going to bother you,” he whispers, then turns around and walks back to his car.‎ ‎21. What is on the author’s mind before she notices the car?‎ A. The long way home. B. The dark and blank street.‎ C. Her landlady’s absence. D. The theme of her paper.‎ ‎22. The underlined word “fumble” is closest to ___________ in meaning.‎ A. reach B. search C. find D. touch ‎23. Why does the author turn around and wait for the man?‎ A. She tries to escape what has happened in her mind.‎ B. She wants to ask him whether he will leave her alone.‎ C. She knows she will be safe after talking with him.‎ D. She is so terrified of what is going to happen later.‎ B If you don’t know about jackfruit, pay attention, because you’re about to meet your new protein substitute. ‎ Take a walk down the produce aisle and you may spot a light green, oval-shaped, nubby fruit. While every fruit is different, this one in particular is hard to ignore. The jackfruit, which is native to Southeast Asia, parts of India, Jamaica, and South America, is fast becoming the latest popular meat substitute in vegetarian meals. From pulled “pork” sandwiches to desserts, jackfruit has proven to be a versatile(多用的) plant that both meat eaters and non-meat eaters alike can appreciate. Here’s what you need to know about this trending tropical fruit.‎ Jackfruits pack in a lot of nutrition. They’re high in protein (with 2.8 grams per cup of sliced fruit, which is 5 percent of your daily value for protein), plus calcium, vitamins, and carbohydrates. They’re also rich in energy and dietary fiber, and free from saturated fats(饱和脂肪) or cholesterol(胆固醇). In some regions, jackfruits are even being used to treat conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, diarrhea, tuberculosis, fever, and liver cirrhosis.‎ And because the fruit is so easy to grow—a jackfruit tree can produce 200 jackfruits a year—there are efforts being made right now to plant them throughout the world as a way to combat food shortages in Third World countries.‎ At the market, you may see two seemingly different types of jackfruit, but it’s the same fruit—only one is mature and the other is young. The young jackfruit is sweet ‎ and crunchy（爽脆的）, and the older version is usually softer and tastes less sweet.‎ Unlike some fruits, jackfruits are entirely edible. The seeds can be boiled, roasted, or ground into flour, depending on the dish you’re making. The flesh, which looks like orange-yellow color bulbs, is what makes this fruit so versatile. It can be made into ice cream, chips, jam, soup, candy, and more. You can slice it into a fruit salad or use it in a jam or jelly.‎ If you’re vegan, you know that it can be a challenge to get adequate protein. Consider buying jackfruits to meet your daily quota for good health.‎ ‎24. What makes jackfruit the latest popular meat substitute?‎ A. Its versatility. B. Its distinctiveness.‎ A. Its richness in fiber. D. Its richness in protein.‎ ‎25. Why is jackfruit quite important in the fight against food shortages？‎ A. Because it promises high outputs.‎ B. Because it can be made into various products.‎ C. Because it is easy to grow throughout the world.‎ D. Because both young and mature jackfruits are tasty.‎ ‎26. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. A New Ingredient B. Here Comes Your Nutrition Bank B. Meet Your New Protein Replacement D. A Good Daily Companion C Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing（牺牲） our privacy to enjoy this convenience.‎ According to a recent report by the Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.‎ Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.‎ Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. ‎ In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission. ‎ These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users’ rights of privacy.‎ Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.‎ Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable. ‎ ‎“In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice,” commented The Atlantic.‎ Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life – laughing, crying, talking, shouting, sitting in silence – will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote.‎ To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency. “All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined sentence mean?‎ A. There are other fire-proof voice assistants.‎ B. Other voice assistants are also being developed.‎ C. There are other voice assistants being criticized.‎ D. Other voice assistants also need improvements.‎ ‎28. What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants?‎ ‎ A. Invading their privacy. B. Sending their message.‎ ‎ C. Making no improvements. D. Serving them targeted advertisements.‎ ‎29. What should companies do to solve the problem, according to Blake Morgan?‎ ‎ A. To stop collecting data through voice assistant.‎ ‎ B. To explain their use of the data to customers.‎ C. To make their data more transparent.‎ ‎ D. To slow down the pace of technology advancement.‎ ‎30. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To show visions of a data world in the future.‎ ‎ B. To inform people of what tech companies are really up to.‎ ‎ C. To draw attention to the privacy issue voice assistants bring about.‎ ‎ D. To criticize companies’ invading customers’ privacy by collecting data.‎ 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。‎ Costco made headlines for bumping up its minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. The warehouse store has a reputation for treating its workers generously, a policy I observed while working there in 2015. In many ways, it’s as enjoyable a place to work as it is to shop. 31 ‎ Employees enjoy plenty of benefits. Costco now sets its minimum wage for hourly employees at $15 an hour. That’s in addition to offering benefits like healthcare for all employees, regardless of part-time vs. full-time status. While I was at Costco, they gave employees complimentary(免费赠送的) memberships to the store. 32 And to top things off, Costco paid employees time and a half just for working on Sundays.‎ Costco is a great destination for health food. People who haven’t shopped at warehouse clubs might expect the “buy in bulk” mentality to mean the aisles are lined with junk food. 33 Greek yogurt, coconut water, protein powder, and lean meats are just some of the things that line the shelves at Costco. And the produce section is filled with delicious apples, bananas, berries, salads and more, making it a ‎ hot-spot where nutritionists food shop. ‎ ‎ 34 When I tell friends I still shop at Costco, they don’t understand what my husband and I buy there, since we don’t have kids and live in a small New York apartment. But there are plenty of options for any family size, and it doesn’t mean you have to keep ten spare jars of tomato sauce in your kitchen. Things like Kirkland Signature protein bars and olive oil are shelf stable for our small household. Cleaning supplies like kitchen sponges are sold in reasonably sized packages, too. It just depends what you’re looking for.‎ People really do buy that famous giant bear. The giant teddy may seem like an Internet novelty, and plenty of people (myself included) have stopped to take photos with the 8-foot-tall friend. But I saw more than one person buy the giant stuffed animal - usually grandparents purchasing it as a gift for their grandkids. 35 ‎ A. It’s not just for big families, either.‎ B. There are a lot of things you can get at Costco.‎ C. Here are a few of the things I learned on my journey.‎ D. I do wonder how they stuffed it into a car to get home.‎ E. It is the exact place where big families can find everything they need.‎ F. Each employee also got a free turkey to enjoy with their families on Thanksgiving.‎ G. While Costco does sell things like cookies and candy bars, there are plenty of healthy options.‎ 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。‎ If you look Chinese and speak Mandarin, you can call for a ride in Vancouver via WeChat, a Chinese app. The drivers normally call back to 36 the order, says Daniel Merkin, who lives in the Canadian city. “Sometimes they’ll 37 on me when they realize I don’t speak Mandarin,” he says. But he keeps 38 , because ‎ popular ride-hailing （网约车） services, like Uber(优步) , are not available. The Chinese service is not legal, but it is 39 . Mr. Merkin hopes that his 40 will soon expand.‎ In July the province of British Columbia, which licenses drivers, said it would allow the big ride-hailing services 41 . But British Columbia has made their entry 42 by requiring drivers to hold commercial licenses. The government has reason to be 43 . In many cities where ride-hailing has 44 , traffic jam has worsened and use of public transport has 45 . ‎ However, Andrew Curran, head of policy at TransLink, the city’s public-transport system, believes ride-hailing could 46 use of public transport by ferrying people from their houses to a bus or train stop.

Conservation psychologist Janet Swim from Pennsylvania State University says people often think their actions won't have enough of an impact to matter. “It's like, 'What can I do? It's just me.'” 56 it does matter a lot. “It's just like voting”, 57 professor says. “I vote. I'm only one person. That one action is an important action 58 (take). We work together as a collective to do things,” she said. And there's the multiplier effect. "Small behaviors matter particularly when ___59 (accumulate) across time and across people," Swim said. Household behavior 60 (actual) can make a substantial difference, 61 (reduce) greenhouse gas emissions, according to researchers from Michigan State University and Vanderbilt University. Most of that potential comes from adopting energy-efficient behaviors. Their research lists the most practical 17 steps 62 each American can take, including carpooling, weatherizing houses and driving fuel-efficient 63 (vehicle). If every American takes these steps, according to these researchers, it 64 (cut) the total U.S. ‎ household emissions by 20% over ten years -- an amount equal 65 the entire emissions output of France.‎ 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）‎ ‎ 假设你是李华，得知你的英国笔友Jacky想到中国读大学，学习并体验中国文化，想征询你的意见。请你根据以下内容，给他写一封电子邮件。内容包括：‎ ‎ 1．表示欢迎；‎ ‎ 2．推荐大学；‎ ‎3．你的期待。‎ 注意：1．词数80词左右；2．可以适当增加细节，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。‎ A few years ago, I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I’d begun to see the people rushing by outside. Then an elderly woman caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, she moved with deliberation (从容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures. The elderly woman had come into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was clearly impatient, rolling her eyes, huffing（长吁短叹） and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. ‎ The older woman then separated from the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf, obviously expecting someone else to help. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled (乱涂乱画的) on a piece of paper. It was a bit unclear to make out. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality. Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman,‎ ‎ I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.‎ Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced her to the different sections: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation. ‎ We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she’ d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age and that she hoped she would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of wistfulness（一丝渴望）, her daughter could enjoy it with her own young children. Then, when the older woman’s turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she’d displayed earlier.‎ 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150字左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I walked over to the younger woman. ‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ The elderly woman moved with her deliberate slowness back to her daughter. ‎ 河北承德第一中学高二年级第二次月考 英语学科 第一部分：听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-20 CCAAC BCBBA CBABA CACAB 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，35分）‎ 第一节（每小题2.5分，共25分）‎ ‎21-30 DBA DAC CABC 第二节（每小题2分，共10分）‎ ‎31-35 CFGAD 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎36-40 BCABD DBCAC BAACB ADBDC 第二节：短文填空（每小题1.5分，共15分）‎ ‎56.But 57. the 58.to take 59.accumulated 60. actually ‎61.reducing 62. that 63. vehicles 64. will cut 65.to 第四部分：写作 第一节 ‎：应用文（15分）‎ Dear Jacky,‎ I am so delighted to have received your letter.

But she rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah.” I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her,” I said. And then I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little moments like this that’ll come back to you.” It was true. I missed my mother still and remembered the moments when I was so impatient as to make her life miserable. ‎ The elderly woman moved with her deliberate slowness back to her daughter. Together they made their way toward the exit of the video store. They stood there for a moment, side by side, waiting for the rushing holiday current and for their place in it. Then the daughter glanced over and then stared at her mother. And slowly, almost reluctantly, she placed her arm with obviously unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowd. ‎
