I've hidden behind that bush a dozen times, and he still can't find me, ” said Connor, admitting that after ‎ finding his father crouched behind a chair half his size, he had started to worry he might grow up to be a " complete idiot” just like his dad. “At first, I thought I might be really good at this game, but after succeeding in hiding underneath a clothes basket with visible holes, I realized the kind of game was not his cake. It'd be one thing if he were only bad at seeking, but so far, his best hiding spot was behind the back door. Who hides behind a door? There's no strategy to it whatsoever. ”‎ Reality of Fatherhood Never Truly Dawned on Man Until He Held Newborn Son's Hospital Bill MISSOULA, MONTANA—Describing how he suddenly found himself overwhelmed by a flood of intense emotions, local man Mike Bentzen told reporters the reality of fatherhood didn't truly set in for him until the moment he held his newborn son's hospital bill. “Wow, this is going to totally change my life,” said Bentzen as tears welled up in his eyes. "Some friends tell me about their experience, but you can't understand what it feels like until you're looking down at it in your own hands.” Bentzen reportedly started weeping softly as he sat down with his son's hospital bill in his lap and began imagining how he would deal with this for the next 18 years.‎ ‎24.

Children's Fondest Memories Times When Dad Trying to Make Up for Things C There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many ‎ associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our families often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.‎ On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.‎ Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.‎ We should embrace our heritage （传统）through our cultured food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.‎ ‎28. What's the function of food mentioned in the text?‎ A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity.‎ C. To reflect a country's history. D. To show a community's superiority.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. The specific traditional food. B. The national culture.‎ C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste.‎ ‎30. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants?‎ A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.‎ B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.‎ C. To make the dishes popular among customers.‎ D. To present their own food culture in a new way.‎ ‎31. What's the author's attitude towards different food cultures?‎ A. Negative. B. Balanced. C. Unfair. D. Unchangeable.‎ D When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped. But still, he disliked the uncomfortable feeling from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home. “I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” he said.‎ The coronavirus has affected everyone's life, especially for students. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships （实习）are up in the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time of unprecedented （空前的） unemployment rates is no easy task.‎ Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, who created a “social distancing pledge" for young people. "I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention, he said. “They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were probably not watching the news.”‎ Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. " Going from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated at home all day wasn't easy, said Harycki.‎ We've definitely had times when we feel kind of bored at home," he said. "We are very social beings and we are used to having that school experience.”‎ Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant they are still connected. “Part of what we are highlighting is that you might feel like you are the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone,” he said.‎ ‎32. What does the uncomfortable feeling” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A. Andrew missed his friends on the swim team.‎ B. Andrew would rather go swimming than study at home.‎ C. Andrew hoped he could learn with his friends on the swim team every day.‎ D. Andrew felt lonely because of long-term learning at home due to COVID-19.‎ ‎33. What's the meaning of the underlined phrase “up in the air” in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Certain position is replaced. B. Projects cannot be continued.‎ C. Plans are developed smoothly. D. Schools are closed for the moment.‎ ‎34. Which of the following statements about “social distancing pledge" is TRUE?‎ A. It can help young people to get together to watch news.‎ B. It can offer a site to share young people's school experiences.‎ C. It can help reduce young students' feeling of loneliness with mapping locations.‎ D. It can give young people an accurate map when they are going to hang out with friends.‎ ‎35. What's the best tide for this text?‎ A. Social Distancing Pledge for Young Students B. Young People Fight Against COVID-19‎ C. A Magical Map for Young Students D. Don't Be Afraid of Loneliness 第二节（共5小题,每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s,60s or even 70s? Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around. 36 It's particularly important to the elderly.‎ Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to communicate with others. According to a study, while we are learning, the brain creates neural （申经）pathways” that make us smarter. 37 The more we learn, the more new neural pathways will develop in our brains.‎ When it comes to learning, it doesn't mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learning something we like day in and day out. 38 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.‎ As we feel worn out from learning, don't be discouraged. 39 As an old saying goes, Birds of a feather fly together. "As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don't learn, and choose to distance ourselves from others, we might be getting slow. Eventually, we lose energy and life passion.‎ ‎ Instead of being bored, why don't we keep learning?‎ ‎40 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence. Gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and achievement in the process of learning journey.‎ A. It's never too old to learn.‎ B. Don't worry if we cannot learn well.‎ C. You should set a high learning target.‎ D. Learning makes us understand how potential we are.‎ E. Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.‎ F. In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.‎ G. However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic and self-fulfilled.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题,每小题1分，满分15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。‎ Two Candles Tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often 41 that he had been cheated by others.

She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire's Mount Washington State Park. She had packed for almost every emergency and intended to walk alone.‎ She'd checked the weather forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two ‎ emergency plans and extra layers of clothing to better adjust her body temperature as conditions changed.‎ The hike up the lower part of Jewell Trail was pleasant. Bales felt excited as she walked up into snowy paths. The sun shone through the trees and cast a shadow over her smiling face. Less than an hour later, loads of dark clouds had replaced the sunshine, and snow covered the surrounding trees.‎ She still smiled. However, the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers to shelter herself from the cold winds and thick fog. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge （山脊）toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Suddenly, she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her, which had been made by a pair of sneakers—typically not the type for hiking.‎ Meanwhile, Bales was getting colder, even though she was moving fast and generating some body heat. With strong gusts of wind screaming and attacking her back and left side, she decided to abandon her plan. The only thing, however, kept her on the trail was the sneaker tracks in the snow.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Bales faced a dilemma about whether to follow the tracks or not. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ ‎1~5 ABABC 6~10 ACCBC 11~15 BCBBA 16~20 BBCAC ‎ ‎21~25 ADCCD 26~30 BDBAC 31~35 BDBCA 36~40 GFBED ‎41~45 CBDDB 46~50 ACDDC 51~55 ADACA ‎ ‎56. its 57.

If she chose to follow the tracks, she’d add time and risk to her hiking. But the tracks ahead suggested someone might be in danger. She couldn’t let this go. She called out into the frozen fog, “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?” The strong winds carried her voice away. Then she walked cautiously in the direction of the tracks. She rounded a corner and spotted a man sitting motionlessly.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Her searching now turned into rescuing the man. She approached him instantly and found he was suffering from frostbite on his feet. Without any hesitation, she covered his body with warm clothes, and then poured him some sugary drink. The wind roared over and they would die soon if they didn’t get out of there. She supported the man and inched along the trail. With great efforts, Bales managed to save the man’s life. Exhausted, she felt that it was all worth it.‎
