I'm always the first to make a good joke and 11 my work away at the end of the day. But somehow I'm 12 the first to be picked for teams and plays. I have always been the outcast, 13 and alone.‎ ‎“This year our play will be the story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men,” our teacher, Miss Goody, 14 the whole class. “Who would like to be Robin Hood?” I 15 my hand up into the air. Of course everybody wanted the biggest and best part, especially bossy Bradley.‎ ‎“ 16 for a part and I’ll test you on Monday and decide who will be best for each part,” said Miss Goody, handing out pages of the script. “… And of course we’ll need lots of trees to be the forest.”‎ ‎“You’ll be a little baby bush…,” Bradley 17 me. “Or a teeny-tiny leaf.”‎ I 18 him and took a copy of the Robin Hood words and began my practicing on the way home.‎ On Monday I did some brilliant acting and I remembered all my 19 . I got the part. Bradley got the part of Little John. Becky was one of the ladies-in-waiting. Jordan was the minstrel(吟游艺人), who told the 20 in song with a little strum of the guitar every now and then. ‎ We had three weeks to learn our parts. Becky offered to 21 with me. She played Little John's part and gave me 22 on fighting. Bradley, who still really wanted to be Robin Hood, often came over to watch. He seemed to be waiting for me to make mistakes. I felt 23 , with knocking knees and cold feet. But I was determined to be the best Robin Hood ever. I had got the part of a hero and a hero I shall be.‎ At home, Granddad came to help me. He could play the guitar and even made up a minstrel dance. He was really getting into the minstrel’s 24 , which cheered me up and made learning my part much easier and funny. ‎ In the final dress rehearsal that afternoon, Bradley was really getting carried away in that fighting-to-get-across-the-river 25 . He was shouting louder and louder and pushing harder and harder until he lost his 26 and fell off the bridge. He had hurt his ankle! Worse still, Jordan had got a flu. Probably we had to 27 that night’s performance for it was just impossible to find two new actors who could learn the parts before 28 and, most importantly, could play the guitar. Girls wailed and sobbed. Boys sighed and shuffled their feet. ‎ It was I that put forward a 29 ：Granddad could play the part of the minstrel, Becky did the part of Little John and Carly could have her part as lady-in-waiting. Miss Goody sighed with relief. Everybody burst into tears of joy.‎ The performance that night was a great success. I felt like a 30 .‎ 11. A. tidy B. throw C. push D. drag 12.

I was twelve years old, in the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym. There was a piece of paper on the wall.‎ It was a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on practicing. The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut. Their presence was no longer desired.‎ I had not known the cut was coming that day. I stood and stared at the list. The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration. The names of the best players were at the top, and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending (下降的) order of basketball skills. I kept looking at the bottom of the list, hoping that my name would appear if I looked hard enough.‎ I held myself together as I walked out, bat when I got home I began to cry. For the first time in my life, I had been told officially that I wasn't good enough. Sports meant everything to boys of that age. If you were on the team, it put you in the desirable group. If you were not, you might as well not be alive.‎ All these years later, I remember it as if 1 were still standing right there in the gym. I don't know how the mind works in matters like this. I don't know what went on in my head following that day of cut. But I know that my determination has been so strong ever since then. I have known that for all my life since that day. I have done more work than I had to be doing and pat in more hours than I had to be spending, I don't know if all of that came from a determination never to allow myself to be cut again—never to allow someone to tell me that I'm not good enough again—but I know it is there. And clearly it's there in a lot of other successful men too.‎ ‎31. From the text we learn that the cut list had names of pupils __________.‎ A. who were cut out B. who were still on the team C. who were the old players D. who were not good enough ‎32. Why did the author react so strongly to the cut?‎ A. It hurt his pride deeply. B. It was open to the public.‎ C. It listed his name at the bottom. D. It forced him to change the team.‎ ‎33. We can infer from the text that the author __________.‎ A. has made friends with many other men B. has never learned the truth of the cut C. has become quite successful in life D. has learned to play basketball very well B First aid means what it says the aid, or help that can be given to an injured person first which is before any other help. Usually the first thing we should do if a serious accident happens is to telephone for an ambulance, but sometimes quick actions by us may save someone's life.‎ Shock: people often suffer from shock after receiving an injury. The face turns grey and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.‎ Broken Bones: Don't move the person. Send for an ambulance at once.‎ Poison: A person who has swallowed poison should be taken to hospital at once. With some poisons, sleeping pills, for example, it is a good thing to' make the person sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. But if he has swallowed some kind of acid, or anything that burns, it would be a bad thing to make the person sick by pushing your fingers down his throat. The poison would burn his throat as it came up. It is, therefore, best to find out what the person has taken so that you can call to tell the doctor.‎ Suffocation: This means not being able to breathe. For example, a drowning person will have his lungs full of water. Lay him down with his head lower than the rest of his body so that the water will drain out. If a person has something stuck in his throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him on the back. When a person has stopped breathing because of drowning, electric shock, breathing in a poisonous gas etc. you can help him to begin breathing again.‎ Remember: When an accident happens, send someone to telephone for an ambulance at once. Keep the injured person warm and quiet. Give him plenty of air. Do not let other people crowd around him. If you see an injured person who is being looked after, keep away.‎ ‎34. The underlined words "drain out" in Paragraph 5 probably mean __________.‎ A. leave out B. squeeze out C. flow away D. let out ‎35. When someone is injured, what should we do first?‎ A. Keep him warm with a blanket.‎ B. Send for an ambulance at once.‎ C. Make him sick by pushing your fingers down his throat.‎ D. Lay him down with his head lower.‎ ‎36. The passage is mainly about __________.‎ A. the importance of first aid B. the symptoms of shocks C. the types of injuries D. how to offer first aid ‎37. Where would this article probably appear?‎ A. In a safety booklet . B. In an advertisement.‎ C. In a newspaper. D. In a popular magazine.‎ C Curiosity is what drives us to keep learning, keep trying and keep pushing forward. But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others? George Loewenstein, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, proposed an answer in the classic 1994 paper—"The Psychology of Curiosity."‎ Curiosity arises, Loewenstein wrote, "When attention becomes focused on a gap in one's knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation (匮乏) labeled curiosity. The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation." Loewenstein's theory helps explain why curiosity is such a force: it's not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.‎ Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often "so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question". Yet it's the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.‎ In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is aroused and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know. To get this process started, Loewenstein suggests, take steps with some interesting but incomplete ‎ information.‎ Language teachers have long used communication in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given a series of pictures for the beginning of the story, while the student's partner is given a series of pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other (in the foreign language they are learning, of course) can the students fill in each other's information gaps.‎ ‎38. When one notices a gap in his knowledge, what will he do?‎ A. He desires to fill it. B. He tends to be afraid.‎ C. He might get tired and sad. D. He will become focused on his learning.‎ ‎39. What does Daniel Willingham imply in the article?‎ A. Answers are more important than questions.‎ B. Teachers should be eager to get to the answer.‎ C. Teachers know how to stimulate students' curiosity.‎ D. Teachers are partly to blame for students' hating school.‎ ‎40. According to George Loewenstein's paper, when does curiosity about something occur?‎ A. When you have read a lot of books.‎ B. When you know little about something.‎ C. When you have some related information.‎ D. When you are given incomplete information.‎ ‎41. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. Why students hate school. ‎ B. Why curiosity is important.‎ C. How to stimulate curiosity. ‎ D. What makes people hungry for knowledge.‎ D During the rosy years of elementary school (小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found ‎ myself.‎ Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.‎ Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are "most likely to engage (从事) in dangerous and risky behavior."‎ In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys (调查研究). "We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."‎ Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.‎ In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage," he said.‎ ‎42. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?‎ A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.‎ ‎43. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The classification of the popular.‎ B. The characteristics of adolescents.‎ C. The importance of interpersonal skills.‎ D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.‎ ‎44. What did Dr. Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids?‎ A. They appeared to be aggressive.‎ B. They tended to be more adaptable.‎ C. They enjoyed the highest status.‎ D. They performed well academically.‎ ‎45. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last ‎ B. The Higher the Status, the Better C. Be the Best—You Can Make It D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Everybody gets angry, but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you. So here are five simple ways to help you learn how to manage your anger:‎ Relax. Breathe deeply from your stomach. 46 Repeat it to yourself and imagine a relaxing experience.‎ Change the way you think. When you're angry, your thinking can get exaggerated (夸大的). 47  For example, instead of telling yourself, "Oh, it's terrible! Everything's ruined," tell yourself, "It's understandable that I'm upset about it, but it's not the end of the world."‎ ‎ 48  Statements like "This never works." or "You're always forgetting things." will make you feel your anger is justified (有正当理由的) and there's no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution.‎ Have better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. 49  And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say.‎ Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think "Things ought to go my way!" Silly humor can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or a queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get from your imaginary scenes, the more likely you can put a smile on your face. 50 ‎ A. Be careful with words like "never" or "always".‎ B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.‎ C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.‎ D. Avoid using these ways when you're in a tense situation.‎ E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "take it easy".‎ F. Try changing the topics so that your talks won't turn into arguments.‎ G. That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important.‎ 第三部分 书面表达（15分）‎ 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的美国好友Jim得知美国也发生新冠肺炎，很紧张，发来邮件向你询问应对方法，请你给他回复邮件，内容包括：‎ 1. 安慰他不要紧张。‎ 2. 建议应对方法。‎ 3. 表达战胜病毒的信心。‎ 注意：1．词数不少于50；‎ ‎2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ 提示词：新冠肺炎：COVID-19‎ Dear Jim,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分：知识运用（共两节，45分）‎ 第一节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）‎ ‎1. under 2. spelled 3. suddenly 4. fingers 5. sweetest ‎ ‎6. which 7. watching 8. created 9. he 10. to fight ‎ 第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎11．A 12．D 13．C 14．B 15．C ‎16．B 17．C 18．D 19．D 20．A ‎21．D 22．B 23．A 24．A 25．C ‎ ‎26．D 27．A 28．B 29．B 30．C 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）‎ ‎31．B 32．A 33．C 34．C 35．B ‎36．D 37．A 38．A 39．D 40．C ‎41．C 42．C 43．A 44．B 45．A ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 46.
