A
In September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.
Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”
The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.
1. What do we know about the stranding inAustralia? A. It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia. B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales. C. It is commonly seen in September each year. D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.
2. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________. A. are kind to each other
B. are easy to lose direction C. are too huge to float in the sea D.are silly to follow the leading whale 3. What is the story mainly about? A. How human activity has affected whales. B. What might cause whale strandings.
C. How whales find their direction while traveling. D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.

Teenagers from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to drop out of school. Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriersand lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement（参与）comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how teenagers experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.
This new study is part of a large one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Researchers asked 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their school work, and how they experienced their fathers' warmth. The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained. The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children’s well-being in their analyses.
Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school. “Low-income fathers affect their teenagers’ beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks, “says Dr, Marie-Anne.
These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, although in different ways. Experiencing their fathers’ warmth first influences daughters’sense of optimism, and thenspills overinto their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better maths grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers, love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy. 4. What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low-income families? A. They will be more determined to struggle.
B. They will have fewer happy things to share. C. They will fail in their studies and quit school. D. They will receive less love from their parents.
5. How is the new research different from the previous ones? A. It only researches families in the north of America. B. It only studies low-education families in the world. C. It combines questionnaire data and students, grades. D. It mainly focuses on the effects of fathers' involvement. 6. What can we know about fathers' warmth? A. It is less effective than that of mothers. B. It affects girls and boys in different ways. C. It mainly applies to girls rather than boys. D. It has a more direct effect on girls thanon boys.
7. Which of the following best explains \"spills over\" underlined in the last paragraph? A. Spreads. B. Changes. C. Bursts. D. Checks.
C
As one of the world’smost popular cultural mediums, cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu World Cultural Forum(论坛), an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.
Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).
With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.
Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the
films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.
8. What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum? A. To strengthen cultural exchanges. B. To build more cinemas in China. C. To invite more tourists to Taihu. D. To attract more international investment.
9. What can we infer about Cao Yin’s opinion in Paragraph 2? A. Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so far B. The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the future C. China has signed the most coproduction agreements with other countries
D. There will be more and more cooperations between Chinese filmmakers and other countries. 10. How do Chinese filmmakers feel about selling their movies to the world right now? A. Easy. B. Disappointed. C. Challenged. D. Confused. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Box Office: Unclear Future B. China: Top Second Movie Market C. Cinema: The Leading Cultural Position
D. Chinese Filmmakers: Severe Competition Situation

“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.
Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.
Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.
The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.” 12. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?
A. It is his greatest regret. B. It stops the progress of humans. C. It needs improving. D. It does more harm than good. 13. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?
A. It is misused for bad purposes. B. It is misunderstood by all people.
C. It blocks out a new voice in society. D. It is expensive for half the world’s population. 14. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”? A. Put technology first. B. Create materials for the web. C. Popularize the Internet. D. Make the Internet free of charge. 15. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion? A. Be responsible for it. B. Absolutely reject it. C. Completely rely on it. D. Be unconcerned about it. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

52.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was excited as I walked into the classroom. Today was my birthday! I set down the box of treats I had brought for the class. Birthdays were a big deal in our classroom. The birthday person brought treats for the class, and he or she got to choose someone our teacher called “the birthday helper\" to pass them out. My friends, Andrea, Crystal and I had talked about choosing each other on our birthdays. I still hadn't decided which of my two best friends I was going to choose. I knew both of them were expecting me to pick them, but I just couldn't decide. I didn't want either one of them to be mad at me.
A loud shout stopped my thoughts. “Hi, April!\" shouted Lisa.
No one liked Lisa. She had dirty hair that looked like it always needed to be washed. The kids made fun of her a lot. She annoyed me sometimes, too, but I tried to be nice to her.
\"Did you bring treats today?\"
“Yes,\" I answered.“ Today is my birthday!\"
Lisa's parents were divorced(离婚的)，and her dad gave her and her mom lots of problems. Lisa once told me that I was the only friend she had. At times I felt embarrassed to hang out with her, but she never seemed to notice when I didn't want her around.
The bell rang, and we quickly went to our seats. Our teacher, Mrs. Doughty, started class, and I pushed aside my thoughts. The rest of the morning flew by, and soon it was time for the lunch break.
Mrs. Doughty announced that today was my birthday. I forced a smile, but my stomach turned over. I
retrieved(取回) my cupcakes at the back of the room and slowly went to stand beside Mrs. Doughty. I didn't know what to do! Should I choose Andrea or Crystal?
Then Lisa caught my attention.
“No one ever chooses me on their birthday!\" she said loudly. Her face looked so sad. I saw the hurt she felt from the rejection(嫌弃) she constantly faced from our classmates.
