She has even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people called her “Iron Lady”.Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. Six weeks after she was born, her family moved to Templin. As a small child, Merkel quickly learned to speak but took longer to walk. “I was a stupid person when it comes to moving,” Merkel said. “A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to think about it in my mind and practice.” As a teenager, she was a top student and graduated from high school with perfect marks. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she got her doctors degree in Physics.She stepped into politics in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2020, she became Germanys Chancellor. She has been re-elected to a second term as German Chancellor on September 27, 2020.Through her political career, Merkels persistence (坚持) and patience helped her a lot. “Shes bright and open-minded, said Hubert Merkel. “She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how never giving up will influence our society and future.”21. As a small child, Merkel was slow in .A. speakingB. learningC. walkingD. thinking22. The underlined phrase “stepped into politics” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. fought the governmentB. began her scientific careerC. offered political guidanceD. became a government official23. We can infer from the passage that Angela Merkel .A, is a powerful woman with u strong will und determinationB. got her doctors degree in Politics in University of LeipzigC. has worked as German Chancellor since September 27, 2020D. showed her best talent as Minister for Environment24. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to express .A. one must be brave in the political careerB. persistence can help ones dream come trueC. one should be patient when making decisionsD. one can have a strong will when others haventBIts a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. Its a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination.My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的) order.It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyones imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.25. Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”？A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one anothers performance.26. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.A. shy childrenB. a large audienceC. drama studentsD. the whole class27. What do you know about the author according to the article?A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.B. He was a star student in the drama games.C. He was shining in big performances each term.D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.28. Whats the best title for this passage?A. A few drama games for fun.B. How to improve drama skills.C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.D. One of my favorite high school courses.COn October 17, 2020 the Shenzhou-11 manned spaceship was sent into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu. Two days later the spaceship successfully connected with the space laboratory Tiangong-2. It meant China got closer to its plan of building a space station in 2020.The spaceship took two Chinese astronauts to space this time. Jing Haipeng was an experienced astronaut who flew on Shenzhou-7 in 2020 and Shenzhou-9 in 2020. But it was Chen Dongs first space flight.Jing and Chen were given a 30-day task on Tiangong-2. They tested new technology and did experiments to prepare for future space station tasks. The astronauts themselves were also the subject (对象) of those experiments. The life support devices (设备) they used and how they lived inside the space laboratory were studied. No Chinese astronaut had stayed in space for that long before.A month-long space task was not easy, so Chinese scientists and engineers had come up with lots of new technologies to allow astronauts to stay more safely and more comfortably in space. One of the new technologies tested during this task was a device called “space hospital”. The space hospital was two little silver boxes tied around the two astronauts, legs. Through the “space hospital”, scientists and doctors on the Earth could watch the astronauts, heart rate and temperature. When the astronauts felt tired, the “space hospital” could even massage (为按摩) them.After this task, China was expected to send an unmanned cargo spaceship (无人货运飞船) in mid-April the next year. It docked with Tiangong-2 and took new fuel to the space laboratory.29. The spaceship connected with the space lab oratory Tiangong-2 on .A. October 17B. October 19C. November 19D. November 2030.

China will build its own space station in 2020.B. In October, 2020 Chen Dong took his first space flight.C. The two astronauts themselves did experiments in space.D. In 2020 another cargo spaceship will take new fuel to the space laboratory.DThere are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical performance or concert. To face the music means to accept the unpleasant results of an action.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car and you are not on the insurance (保险).”But you do not listen. You want to show off to some friends and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is severe. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”.The “music” here is the consequence or result of your actions. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”.To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that on another Words and Their Stories.32. Which of the following expressions doesnt have the same meaning with the others?A. Face the music.B. Take your medicine.C. Make your bed.D. Pay the piper.33. What may be talked about in the next programme?A. Other words and their stories.B. The beginning of “pay the piper”.C. The wider use of “face the music”.D. An example of “take your medicine”.34. What does “face the music” mean?A. Going to a musical performance.B. Apologizing to the person you have hurt.C. Dealing with the situation you have caused.D. Accepting the unpleasant results of an action.35. Which action belongs to a “take your medicine”？A. You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.B. You worked hard but failed in the exam.C. You caught a cold and took some medicine.D. You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.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。A lot of kids and adults say they get nervous during social situations. Maybe its speaking up in class or making a phone call or just trying something new. You might feel butterflies in your stomach, or your heart may beat faster or you get suddenly sweaty. 36 And if fear of being embarrassed or making a mistake is getting in your way, there are some things you can try on your own to help.37Experts agree that avoiding situations that make us anxious can actually make things worse in the long run. Getting out of something you didnt want to do might make you feel better in the moment, but you will still feel anxious the next time youre asked to do it.Push yourself.While leaving your comfort zone isnt easy, it can be very good for you. Thats because anxiety tends to go away when you start doing the things that make you anxious. 38 You might find you have the skills to handle it. And next time youre in that situation you might feel less self-conscious.Practice a lot.As an experiment, try doing something that makes you nervous. 39 Whatever you do, youll find that it gets easier over time. Thats because by practicing the things that make you nervous you are actually improving your ability to easily handle them.Relax yourself.Instead of trying to relax by watching television or visiting a website, try a deep relaxation practice that has a physical effect on the mind. 40A. Dont avoid something.B. Being nervous is uncommon.C. Pay no attention to your original thoughts.D. Those things are your bodys reaction to fear.E.
