I recommend them to all of my coworkers, and I own a pair of each color.2.These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottom of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I will only wear Brand X shoes!3. These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isnt anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go about my clay. They look delightful enough, and they are quite durable(耐用的). I will probably buy another pair.4. These shoes are my most cherished (珍爱的) possession. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes. She was the saleswoman at the store I bought them at, and after she sold me three pairs, I asked her for her phone number and we started dating. Soon after that, we were engaged.

She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated, but we were poor. I didnt own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood, and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks（堆）. So its probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged（耸肩）。“Sorry . I cant find it,” she said,“Its only $ 20, right?” Whats the big deal?”I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop（笼子）in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime and dust floated in the air.But my girl, my animal-loving mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop(铲鸡粪) was the most fun shed had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She didnt feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded(发愣的), watching her.It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didnt care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop ,fetching the clean straw and feed. Leenys little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born , and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I dont know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didnt care about the book any more. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.24.How does Leeny find reading?A. It is very challenging. B. It is full of enjoyment.C. It inspires her to be a camper. D. It teaches her to love her family.25.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to the fact that_A. the author could never have enough books to read.B. the authors daughter often lost library book.C. the authors daughters own too many books.D. the author didnt own any books.26.How did the author feel after she saw Leenys cleaning work?A. Ashamed B. Astonished C. Embarrassed D. disappointed27.Whats the best title for the passage?A. What I owe to Leeny : more attention.B. My punishment failed, but I didnt care.C. My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful.D. Surprise: my daughter loves cleaning chicken coops.CFor over a hundred years, the highest mountains in South America have attracted climbers from all over the world. But until 1909, Perus Mount Huascaran resisted the efforts of all those who attempted to climb to its top. One mountaineer, Annie Smith Peck, decided to overcome the obstacles (障碍) to be the first to reach the top of Mount Huascaran.Annie Smith Peck was born in the USA in 1850. She started by climbing mountains in North America and Europe. At that time, mountain climbing was not considered appropriate for women, so Pecks activities made her infamous.Annie Peck made five attempts before she finally climbed to the top of Mount Huascaran. Between expeditions (探险), Peck returned to the USA to raise money. She received help from many scientific organizations, including the Museum of Natural History.In 1908, Peck scraped together (勉强凑齐) the money for another expedition to Mount Huascaran. This time, she hired two Swiss guides. On their first trip, one of the guides became seriously ill, and the entire team was forced to turn back. After the guide recovered, they set off again. The climb was extremely difficult. The weather was so cold that everyone suffered from frostbite. One of the guides took advantage of Pecks distraction to climb the few remaining feet to the top so that he could say that he had got there before her. Although Peck was angry, she focused on the success in achieving her goal. On September 2, 1908, Annie Peck finally stood at the top of Mount Huascaran.Peck was 58 when she climbed Mount Huascaran, but she wasnt done with mountain climbing. Several years later, she returned to Peru to climb Mount Coropuna. At the top, she left a banner (横幅) that read, “Votes for Women.”For the rest of her life, Peck lectured and wrote about womens rights, her expeditions, and life in South America.28. Why did Peck want to reach the top of Mount Huascaran?A. She was paid to do it.B. No one else had been able to do it.C. She wanted to fight for womens rights.D. The government of Peru encouraged her to do it.29. What might the scientific organizations in the USA think of Peck?A. She was foolish.B. She needed advice.C. She wanted attention.D. She deserved support.30. What can be learned about Peck?A. She enjoyed raising money for her trips.B. She enjoyed taking risks and facing challenges.C. She liked working at the Museum of Natural History.D. She liked South America more than the United States.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Votes for womenB. On top of the worldC. Mountain climbing in PeruD. Ups and downs of a climberDWhat thing in your home is most germy (布满细菌的)? If you said the toilet seat, your answer is fallacious. Kitchen cleaning brushes top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices (设备) all day long, yet rarely clean them.In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during an epidemic (流行病) of the deadly disease Ebola. The phones owner reported the stealing before dying from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and admitted his crime.In that unusual case, a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria. But not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some greasy smudges (油腻的污迹)?“Thats all you,”says microbial (微生物的) ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell.“Thats biological information. It turns out that the types of germs (also known as microbes) that you smudge all over your phone are different from those of your friends and family. Theyre like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, police may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for evidence.”In a 2020 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants homes, from beds and floors to computer mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner. In an earlier study, a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who had used a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature.One day, microbial signatures might show where people have gone and what they have touched. They could prove that an unmarked device is yours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy. Does that inspire you, or does it frighten you?32. What does the underlined word “fallacious” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Wrong.B. Quick. C. Direct. D. Honest.33. What does the Ugandan hospital incident show?A. Ebola is a very serious disease.B. Cell phones are heaven to germs.C. Crimes in hospitals are easy to solve.D. Using others cell phones may give you a disease.34. What idea is conveyed in Jarrad Hampton-Marcells words?A. Everyone carries a unique set of germs.B. Digital technology helps a lot in crime-solving.C. People can be identified from their fingerprints.D. People may become sick after using phones a lot.35. What was a result of the 2020 study?A. The mouse owner was identified most quickly.B. Computer keyboards carried most germs.C. Germs live well at room temperature.D. Our homes are also homes to germs.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。Taking a child fishingThere is nothing quite like seeing the smile on a young persons face when they catch their fish. Here are some simple steps that can be taken to help children and parents enjoy these early fishing experiences.36Its easier to teach young children to fish if your attention is towards them and not towards your own fishing. If you are also trying to fish, this can make that difficult for both of you. 37 When they need your assistance, you can hand them your tool, and they can keep fishing.Keep trips short.Children have short attention spans. 38 Take this into consideration when planning a trip. When it stops being fun for them, its time to call it a day.Bring plenty of snacks (小吃) and drinks.Even though most of these trips will be short they will get hungry and thirsty. Bringing plenty of snacks and drinks gives them a little break from fishing. 39 You can use this time while theyre eating or playing to do some fishing yourself.Other than fishing.Just because they are on a fishing trip doesnt mean that they have to fish all the time. Let them do things besides fishing as long as it isnt interfering (打扰) with the people fishing around you. 40A stop on the way home for ice cream or other treats can also be a fun part of the trip. Remember its all about them having fun and hopefully wanting to go fishing with you again.A. Let them help make choices.B. Make the fishing trip about them.C. Children love to feel like they are helping out.D. This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.E. The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.F. One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool your child can use.G. An hour, possibly two, will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
