He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare species.That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.‎ In December 2015, he and a team of Australian and American scientists explored into an remote tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails ( 踪 迹 ) anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.‎ Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater -- the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.‎ The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species --13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, 4 butterflies, and 5 palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”‎ The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas-primitive egg-laying mammals -- let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.‎ Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”‎ Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods. The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.‎ Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely. They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface, Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”‎ ‎24.Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?‎ A. Adventurous. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Gentle.‎ ‎25.What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says the scientists “were like kids in a candy store”?‎ A.They were acting like naughty children.‎ B.They were very excited about what they saw.‎ C.They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.‎ D.They knew that if they kept searching, they’d find sugar.‎ ‎26.Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?‎ A.The scientists seemed to be very friendly.‎ B.The scientists were skilled in handling animals.‎ C.The animals had no experience or fear of people.‎ D.The animals had been well-trained by the local people.‎ ‎27.What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?‎ A.The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.‎ B.The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.‎ C.The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.‎ D.The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.‎ C In Africa, Christmas Day begins with groups of carolers(欢唱颂歌的人) walking to and from through the village, along the roadway, by the houses of the missionaries(传教士), singing the lovely carols known to the world around. Often people may be awakened by a group of carolers beginning to gather at the house of worship(敬神活动). They return home to make final preparations as to the clothes one must wear and also as to their offering for the Christmas service.‎ The most important part of their Christmas worship service is the love offering. This is the gift in honor of Jesus. At about 8 or 9 o’clock everyone goes to the celebration of the birthday of Jesus. Everyone who attends the service goes forward to lay down their gift upon the raised platform near the Communion table. No one will attend the service without giving a gift.‎ Christmas in South Africa is a summer holiday. There is no snow, but it has many flowers, many beautiful varieties of wild flowers being in their full pride.‎ In Ghana, most churches show the coming of Christmas by decorating the church and homes beginning with the first week in Advent, four weeks before Christmas. This season happens to be the time of cocoa harvest, so it is a time of wealth. Everyone returns home from wherever they might be such as farms or mines.‎ In Africa, it is the traditional dinner of turkey, roast beef, mince pies, or suckling pig, yellow rice with raisins, vegetables, and plum pudding, crackers. In the afternoon, families go out into the country and usually there are games or bathing in the warm sunshine, and then home in the cool of the evening. Boxing Day is also a proclaimed (正式宣布的) public holiday usually spent in the open air. It falls on December 26 and is a day of real relaxation.‎ ‎28.

Advent→Christmas→Boxing Day D People have been told to stay separated — at least six feet apart— and to practice what state and local officials call “social distancing”. Some have been asked to work at home. But as people try to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the resulting chaos and fear are bringing both large and small communities closer.‎ Simple acts of kindness are sprouting up online and in public, as neighbors, students, teachers, and others begin to connect those who can pass this long and isolating time smoothly, and the people who may not have the means to get through.‎ For Jesse Farren-James, helping out has taken the form of organizing trips to the supermarkets for supplies, and use of her membership card if anyone needs to buy large quantities. She posted the offer in a Facebook group for the community residents（居民）, and some people came and turned to her. “I just feel so lucky that I have so many people in my life to rely on and so sad that not everyone has that,” she wrote in the group. In another interview, Farren-James said ‎ the “community is coming together" and “there are so many good and amazing people” offering to help where they can.‎ Also, parents in Dorchester have gathered together online. In a Facebook group called DotParents, parents have been raising money to buy food and supplies for students and families in the community. Lisa Graustein has been organizing this activity. On Thursday, she used the more than $2,000 raised by neighbors to purchase food in a restaurant supply company. A group of volunteers packed the food and planned to distribute to schools for those who may need it.‎ ‎“Food shortage is real in our city and this crisis is going to be severe.” Graustein said. “But here’s something we can do that deal better with the hard time”. This idea is spreading. She said friends in four other states had being running similar campaigns. Next, she wants to find a way to get landlords（房东）to temporarily abandon rent for residents in financial difficulties because of the outbreak.‎ ‎32.What do we know about Jesse Farren-James?‎ A.She is a shopping assistant working for a supermarket.‎ B.She is wealthy and always ready to help others.‎ C.She lent her membership card to the people in need.‎ D.She felt sad that not everyone has enough food.‎ ‎33.The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 “sprouting up” can be best replaced by ‎ .‎ A.disappearing B.growing C. connecting D. helping ‎ ‎34.What did parents in Dorchester do to offer help?‎ A.They bought food from the supermarket for community children.‎ B.They set up a restaurant supply company to provide food.‎ C.They raised money to deal with food shortage.‎ D.They distributed money to community residents.‎ ‎35.Which is the best title for this passage?‎ A.Acts of kindness in coronavirus outbreak B.Effects of social media in coronavirus outbreak C.Social distancing in the online community D.Helping each other in financial difficulties 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。‎ Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently.    36  ‎ ‎  First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.‎ ‎      37 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com, which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.[来源:Z.xx.k.Com]‎ ‎  Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.   38  ‎ ‎ Here is some of the advice I give my students:              ‎ ‎ Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.‎ ‎  Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.‎ ‎     39  Don't concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.‎ ‎     40    This approach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn’t allow us to understand anything at all!‎ ‎  By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.‎ A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.‎ B. What should you do?‎ C. Do not translate everything into your native language.[来源:学科网]‎ D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.‎ E. The next step is to find listening resources.  ‎ F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.‎ G. But listening is still a problem.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 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。‎ Herman Travis, 55, lives in Holly Courts, a low-income neighborhood in San Francisco.
