W：Did you use to work more as a team?

M：Yes，we did.We’re more on our own now.I also used to travel a lot more too.They’ve cut down on that.

W：Has anything changed for the better?

M：Yes，there are more opportunities to learn new skills.The money’s much better now.That’s why I’m still here!

Text 10

M：A lot of people don’t believe it when they see pictures of me when I was young，because I used to look really，really different.I used to have quite long hair and wear earrings.I used to play bass in a band.We made a few records and we’d go on tour quite a lot.I got to see the world a bit.I used to be a bit wilder than I am.I’ve really calmed down quite a lot，but when I was eighteen，I’d be out every night，clubbing，dancing，drinking，you know.I used to smoke around twenty a day，but I decided to stop it.It was difficult at the beginning.I tried to cut it down to eight a day.Then I finally stopped two years ago，and took up jogging instead! I think getting married has helped me calm down a lot too.I’m much happier now.

第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)

第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Amazing lost places around the world

Kolmanskop

Once the richest town in Africa, today Kolmanskop is sinking into the Namibian desert.The discovery of diamonds here around 100 years ago caused this remote place to experience a boom(繁荣), and in no time at all, an entire town reveal itself out of the sand.Not only was there a hospital, a power plant and a theatre, but also an ice factory and a swimming pool—all in the middle of the desert!

The Aniva lighthouse

Built by the Japanese on a small island between Japan and Russia, the Aniva lighthouse and its island went to the Russians after the Second World War.Though dynamic once, the seven­storey building has lain abandoned for years.Where once noisy diesel(柴油) generators kept the machinery running, today there’s only the sound of waves hitting the rocks.

Houtouwan

Houtouwan on Shengshan Island was once home to around 2,000 fishermen and their families.Today most of the people you meet in this Chinese village are tourists.The majority of the inhabitants(居民) left for the mainland in the early 1990s.Reasons for the near total abandonment include shortage of food delivery.

The Igloo Hotel

This resort has never seen a paying guest! The Igloo Hotel in Alaska, US was primarily meant to attract visitors from the nearby Denali National Park.However, the builder didn’t observe official building regulations and also chose a location that was too remote, so the hotel was never completed.The half­finished building however, continues to suffer wind and weather a half a century later.

UPS(联合包裹) driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.“Like a cry for help，” he told the Dodo.It was December 2019, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry—a half­submerged brown­and­white wirehaired hound(猎犬), struggling to hold to a thin layer of ice.How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene.He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was knocked at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance.

“Animals are my weakness，” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped(拆开) down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was freezing cold, and commandeered the rowboat.

His heart thumping, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice.He gave one strong knock and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water.

He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under.Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice.He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired veterinarian.Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both defrosted(解冻)．A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, the dog would have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停)．

The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.“Would you like to meet her？” he asked.

He opened the door to his pickup(皮卡), and Sadie rushed out.She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses.That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.”

In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his team left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance, hoping to become the first to cross Antarctica.

But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped over the Weddell Sea.The ice destroyed the Endurance and later sank it.Shackleton and all of his men abandoned the ship and managed to stay alive.Although they failed to complete the expedition, the tale of their long and difficult return is one of the most famous survival stories of all time.

Much was known about the location of the Endurance.The ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position.The ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down.But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.

Now, a search team called “Endurance22” located the ship, which was found 1.87 miles below the ocean’s surface, about four miles south of its last known position.The team reports that the ship is in excellent shape.Even though the ship is made of wood and is over 100 years old, it has survived with little damage.Scientists say that the small worms that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.

The Endurance 22 is led by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.The team ran the project from an ice­breaking ship.To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths which can travel by themselves deep under the sea.What makes them unique is that they can travel under the ice and go where the ship can not.Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high­quality cameras and scanners to record the Endurance in detail.

The Endurance 22 plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck site, using the careful scans they made.This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.

A big city might not seem like the best place to learn about nature and the environment.But one group in Washington, D．C.is trying to change that.City Blossoms is a non­profit organization, with the aim to bring nature to children who might not otherwise have green spaces.The organization has assisted in creating green spaces at seven elementary schools.

City Blossoms assists schools in creating and caring for the garden.But the gardens are mainly operated by the schools.McNerney partners with schools that already understand the importance of an outdoor education.“It’s a school­run program that City Blossoms is supporting，” McNerney said.“We don’t want it to be a ‘plop and drop’ where it’s seen as a City Blossoms garden and it’s not fully embraced by the community, because that won’t really lead to a sustainable garden program.”

“At the end of the day, we’re not designing these sites，” said Isa Zambrano, who oversees the community gardens for City Blossoms.She helps maintain the community spaces for City Blossoms.“The community designs it.Every garden takes the shape of the community and the culture that exists there.Young children and older adults have gotten involved with the community green spaces，” said Isa.During cooking lessons, for example, people will talk about meals that are special to their culture.

While City Blossoms’ main goal is to teach children, many older families and adults have also gotten involved.The organization holds gardening lessons for all ages.Isa said the pandemic had made people want to spend more time outside experiencing nature.“People have really woken up to the fact that green spaces are really important in our communities，” she added.“They have realized the good that comes from being outdoors and being disconnected from technology，” she explained.

解析　词句猜测题。根据第二段末句可知，McNerney不希望花园是不可持续的，故推知“a plop and drop”表示“一个不可持续的花园”，与An unsustainable garden意义一致，故选C项。

34．What do we know about a community green space in paragraph 3?

A．It helps students only.

B．It is run with joint efforts.

第二节(满分25分)

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。

It was Saturday.Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember it was a Saturday because the mall was packed with people.I was with my mom.Mom is short and skinny.It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.

On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques(精品店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always.I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked.Ladies wore five­inch heels that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing.An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest.I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go.It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.

We were in a high­class neighborhood, I knew that.We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that hung on to the edge of our county that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools were good.As I looked at the passers­by and then turned accusing(谴责的) eyes on Mom, I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there.I could see the heavy lines around Mom’s eyes and mouth.She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles(鞋底) worn down.Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age.I looked at her, and I was ashamed.

My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain.Saying I’d meet her at the clothes outlet(专营店) around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom.I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway.When I finally made my way to the outlet with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

One possible version：

With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her.I was fearing to return to her side, already feeling the second­hand embarrassment that I’d recently discovered came with being with her.Reluctant and impatient, I was almost running out of my desire to look for her.However, I couldn’t have been more wrong.Mom was standing in the middle of a high­end store, holding a sweater that looked much too expensive.She said, “This will look good on you.Do you want it？”And I almost agreed, carelessly, thoughtlessly.Then I took a closer look at the small, weary woman with a big smile stretching across her narrow face and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice, and my words died in my throat.

I felt like I‘d been dropped into a cold lake, facing Mom‘s offer—the beautiful sweater.I was stunned as if time froze with tears uncontrollably welling up in my eyes.The expensive sweater on her hands was in marked contrast to the cheap and old clothes on her because she spent her money buying me new ones.She looked so tired and unattractive all the time because she was busy working to provide for me.She had no make­up on because she was just content with me.What was behind her plain appearance was the unconditional love she had for me.Suddenly, Mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself. “Do you want it？” Mom repeated.“No, thanks.”

【导语】文章以人物心理活动为线索，讲述了某个周六，作者和母亲逛街，周围打扮时髦、精致的路人与平淡无奇、穿着破旧却把最好的东西都给了作者的母亲形成强烈的对比，作者觉得十分尴尬与害臊。借口与母亲在拐角处的某个服装专卖店约定碰头，作者慌忙地逃向了洗手间。但当作者迈着犹豫的步伐回头找母亲时，却意外地发现母亲根本不在约定的地点。

【详解】

1．段落续写：①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者不情愿地去找母亲，以及在寻找过程中作者表现出焦虑但又不情愿的复杂心理活动，作者最终找到了母亲，而母亲手里拿着给作者买的昂贵、精美的衣服。

②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写母亲破旧的衣服与精美的毛衣的对比，使作者为自己之前的想法感到羞愧，并感受到无私伟大的母爱而激动不已的态度的转变。

2．续写线索：寻找母亲——焦虑以及不情愿——感到羞愧——感受到无私伟大的母爱而激动不已的态度的转变
