I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it wasnt the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed. I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didnt look back.My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesnt matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. Its about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isnt necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.21.

According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?A. How much it costs.B. The use of it.C. The love in it.D. How it looks.23. What can we know from the text?A. The parents thought their son wouldnt like the bike.B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $2 one.BIm from Sydney. It is the capital city of New South Wales and has the most people in the country.

Bose has a large circle of friends, and theres one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.If that isnt enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazines Young Amazing Women of the Year.After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.Boses achievements arent limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and shell be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.28.

The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator(管理人员) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2020 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.32. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?A. To honor heroes of World War II.B. To introduce young theatre groups.C. To attract great artists from Europe.D.

They wanted to take part in the festival.D. They owned a public house there.34. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?A. University studentsB. Artists from around the worldC. Performers of music and danceD. Popular writers35. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival _.A. has gone beyond an art festivalB. gives shows all year roundC. keeps growing rapidlyD. has become a non-official event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。Tips to Create Great ReadersAre great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children dont enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. 36._ Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.37._The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practicing the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question，such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. 38._ For example, children can first have a discussion about what theyre reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” 39._ By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading program. Its a chance for children to put together everything theyve learned in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. 40._ So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.A. Make sure children fall in love with reading.B. Build habits at the moment of error.C. Then, you can review their written responses.D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.E. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.G. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45）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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will.
