When we moved in a month ago, Mary wanted to get a dog to keep out burglars. However, we finally decided that it would be cheaper to put an iron grille(护栏) in front of the door and get a burglar alarm（防盗自动警铃）.Last week, I went to a shop and bought an alarm for just over 200. It consists of a control unit with three smaller units. I put the control unit in the lounge(客厅) and put the other units in place by the front door, back door and lounge windows.That night I soon fell asleep because I was confident that no one could get into our house undetected（未被察觉的）. At about l:50 a.m. I woke up suddenly and heard the alarm. It was like an ambulance driving right through our bedroom. I couldnt leave the alarm on all night. I went downstairs in the dark. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I switched on the light and looked around. Oh my gosh. The back door was unlocked. I rushed to lock it and it was just at that exact moment that the burglar disappeared behind a curtain. Guess what? It was an ordinary house lizard(蜥蜴). Apparently the alarm system had been made for American or European homes in which lizards are never seen. I switched the alarm off and sat down to watch. A few moments later, a lizard ran across a wall, right in front of one of the alarm units.I wont bother to finish this story but if youd like a burglar alarm system free of charge, just let us know.21. What do we know about the author and his wife?A. They love plants and flowers. B. They are pet lovers.C. They are fond of catching lizards. D. They hate technology.22. What happened after they got the alarm system?A. It did not work B. It worked unexpectedly.C. A burglar broke into the house. D. Their neighbors complained about it.23. What will the author do after the incident?A. He will sell the alarm .B. He will fix the alarm system immediatelyC. He will buy a dog to keep out burglars.D. He will file（发、寄文件）a complaint to the company.24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious. B. Anxious. C. Cautious. D. Humorous.BIn 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. 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 (已废弃的)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 littleknown 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 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.25What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?ATo introduce young theatre groups B. To honor heroes of World War .C To bring Europe together again. DTo attract great artists from Europe.26Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?AThey wanted to take part in the festival. BThey came to take up a challenge.CThey thought they were also famous. DThey owned a public house there27Who joined the“Fringe”after it appeared?APopular writers. BArtists from around the world.CUniversity students. DPerformers of music and dance.28We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival_.Ahas become a nonofficial event Bkeeps growing rapidlyCgives shows all year round Dhas gone beyond an art festivalCWe often hear the phrase: Youve a greater chance of being struck by lightning. It is used to describe something that hasnt got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines (掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning. Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those 73 people die. That means more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22 to 28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms. If you hear thunder, you are in danger from lightning, said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross. Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek hiding place, Lopes said.Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:u Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.u If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building.u Do not stand under a tree.u Get off bicycles or motorcycles.u Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no hiding place.u Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers.29. Whats the popular opinion about being struck by lightning?A. It is impossible for people to be killed by lightning.B. It is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters.C. The chance for a person to be struck by lightning is very small.D. There is a greater chance for being killed by lightning than any other natural disaster.30. The average death rate of being struck by lightning in the US is aboutA. 18% B. 50% C 30% D. 73%31. Whats the safety tip when you hear thunder outside?A. Take away the hair drier. B. Quickly find a place to go inside.C. Just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles. D. Count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning.32. Which of the following statements is true?A. There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day.B. The National Lightning Safety Week is made to warn the public of lightning.C. The death rate of being struck by lightning is much higher than by other natural disasters.D. There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightning in the US each year.DUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground.The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortagesDrier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall，but in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too.I n the United States，a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live，but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks(漏水) in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.33Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?APaving parking lots. BThrowing batteries away.CUsing river water. DThrowing rubbish into lakes.34The last paragraph is intended to_.Ashow us how to fix leaks at home Btell us how to run a dishwasherCsuggest what we do to save water at home Dprove what drinking glass is best for us35The text is mainly about_.AWhy paving roads reduces our water Bhow much we depend on water to liveCwhy droughts occur more in dry climates Dhow human activity affects our water supply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。ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research._36_ Try the following steps：Calm yourself._37_ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way._38_ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者)Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you._39_ If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself._40_ But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you dont do it.A How should you start to forgive?BWhy should you forgive?CRecognize the benefits of forgiveness.DIf you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.EFor some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.FTo make your anger die away，try a simple stressmanagement technique.GTry to see things from your offenders side.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）。阅读下面的短文，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。Five-year-old Jocelyn was playing outside her grandmothers apartment building.
