Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic.The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.24.Amonthbeforethemarathon,theauthor _.A. madeuphismindtorun B.feltscaredC.was welltrained D.losthope25.WhydidtheauthormentiontheP.E.classinhis7thyear?A.Toacknowledgethesupportofhisteacher.B.Toamusethereaderswithafunnystory.C.Toshowhewasnottalentedinsports.D.Toshareapreciousmemory.26.Howwastheauthorsfirstmarathon?A.

About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2020, a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevantinformation. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to recover cultural relics.B. The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pigs head to Beijing.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the AngloFrench Allied Army.29. Most of lost Chinese cultural relics .A. have been recovered by the Chinese governmentB. were bought for little money by foreignersC. are owned by private collectorsD. are housed in foreign museums30. Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A. It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B. It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.C. It was donated by the French government to China.D. It was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.31. The underlined word feasible in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by .A. possible B. difficult C. popular D. carefulDHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth(蜡螟虫) can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯), which makes up 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物学) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published inCurrent Biologyin 2020.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms ability to break down their everyday food beeswax also allows them to break down plastic. Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, she explains, The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process not simply millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.32. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.33. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.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。Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things, including humpbacks（座头鲸）and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide. And yesjust one kid, like you, can make a difference. 36 .Dont litter. Rubbish thrown away carelessly outside often washes into storm drains（排水沟）, which empty into rivers and eventually flow to the oceans. 37 , including whales.Say, “No bag, thank you.” Whether youre buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you dont need a bag. 38 , youll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewers（下水道）, and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wild life.Plant a tree. 39 . They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）, a gas that animals, including humans, produce naturally as they breathe. But because carbon dioxide also comes from cars and factories, there is too much of it in the atmosphere, which is contributing to global warming. If everyone planted one tree, those trees would remove a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.40 . Every time you leave a room for more than a minute, turn off the light youre using. In this way, you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.Try the family challenge! Many streams and rivers are polluted and littered with rubbish. You and your family can help preserve the waterways by joining others in your community to pick up rubbish.ATrees help clean the air we breatheBTurn off the lightCAvoid driving carsDBy carrying your own reusable bagETreat them like friendsFHere are ideas for easy small things you can doGPollution is a growing problem for all the Earths oceans and its wildlife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；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada.

She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 42 .She couldnt understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 43 , but, of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness.Later , when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 44 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with 45 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 46 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 47 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldnt 48 as bad.Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to 49 her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foundation, an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to 50 “Big Bosses” lunches, where she would try to persuade local business leaders to 51 to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in “Ladybug Jars” to collect everyones spare change during “Make Change” month. More recently, the foundation began another 52 called National Red Scarf Daya day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canadas 53 and homeless.There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called “Hannahs Place”, something that Hannah is very 54 of. Hannahs Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 55 outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of 56 .For example, she received the 2020 BRICK Award recognizing the 57 of young people to change the world.
