My tooth was aching, and Id been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. Cant you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. Id thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasnt he as busy as the others?In the dentists office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Dont worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have o wait for him?”I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it :on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!4Which of the following best describes the authors feeling that morning?ACheerful.BNervous.CUpset.DSatisfied.5What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?AThe dentists agreeing to treat her at very short notice.BThe dentists being as busy as the other dentists.CThe surroundings of the dentists office.DThe laughing assistant of the dentist.6Why did the author suddenly smile?ABecause the dentist came at last.BBecause the assistant kept comforting her.CBecause she could relax in the chair,DBecause she saw a picture on the ceiling.7What did the author lean from her experience most probably?AStrike while the iron is hot.BHave a good word for ones friendCPut oneself in others shoesDA friend in need is a friend indeed.CIt is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone elsesomeone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly dont seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry（敌对）between competitors. They help each other out and keep each others spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.8The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors _.Acover a long distance Bkeep hands in place for longCwave hands as long as possible Ddo the same thing as in a marathon9What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?AStanding without any support. BNot leaning on the car.CEating and drinking in five minutes. DHaving strong powers of attention.10What is the writers opinion about handathon?AIt is not as easy as it looks at first.BIt is the easiest of all sports.CIt can purify peoples spirits.DIt is not good competing in a handathon.11Which of the following about handathon is not right?AThe person who takes part in it should stand still.BThe person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.CThe person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.DHandathons are competitions where competitors seldom encourage each other.DAs sea levels climb, even Washington, DCcould see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide.Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Marylands capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor. Sometimes water covers roads in Atlantic City, N. J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood.All are suffering from this trendnormal high tides surpass (超过) a rising sea level. Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters (8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer.Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges (计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweets team calculated the number of : “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters (1foot) above the historic level of the highest tides. In June 2020, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.In Charleston, S.Cfrom 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4. 6 days per year. But from 2020 to 2020, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From1957 to 1963，troublesome floods were roughly 3. 8 days per year. From 2020 to 2020, the average was 10 times higher- 39. 3days a year.“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,” Sweet says. “So todays flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent.”12What is Paragraph 2 mainly developed by?AMaking comparisons.BAnalyzing causes.CUsing examples.DFollowing time order.13Why are more flooding problems caused?ABecause the river levels have been climbing.BBecause climate has changed over the years,CBecause the weather conditions are not stable.DBecause people are living too close to harbors.14What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 6?AThere has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events.BThe changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.CThe floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above1foot.DThe number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.15What is the text mainly about?ASweets team.BA flood research.CThe US East Coast.DAmerican oceanographers.二七选五When it comes to the benefit of volunteering, a lot of people think its all about the warm feeling after helping someone. 16 As is known, charity work requires a wide variety of people to do a wide variety of things for everything to work.

Some say homework is necessary since only practice 41 (make) perfect, while others disagree. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students.However, this might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary. 42 (actual), only proper amount of homework in proper form is 43 (accept); some homework may not only fail 44 (help) the students, but on 45contrary bore them so much that they may lose their interest in studying. “Proper”homework, in my opinion, 46 (vary) in its forms, 47might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough 48 (free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher 49 (keep) this 50his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.五、短文改错51假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文，文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(/),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词:2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。This afternoon I went to see my grandfather by a bus. It was very crowded and I had to stand. Besides me there was a woman held a little boy in her arms. In front of her, a young man occupies two seats, pretending to be sleep. I heard the little boy curious asking his mother, “Whats wrong with the uncle?” I had thought that perhaps the woman would blame the man. Beyond her expectations, the woman answered with a smile, “Be quiet. This uncle must very tired because of hard work.” The young man must have heard the word. His face turned red and offered one seat for the woman at once.六、提纲类作文52假设你是李华，双12你从网上购买了一套英文小说，昨天才到货，且包装破损，数量不足。请就此向网店客服写邮件投诉。要点如下：1.介绍购物情况；2.反映存在问题；3.提出解决方案。注意：1.词数100词左右；2.可适当增加细节，使行文连贯；3.开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数。可能用到的生词：投诉complaintTo whom it may concern,I am one of your customers._ Yours, Lihua 参考答案1A2B3D【解析】【分析】 广告布告类。本文介绍参观Shakespeares Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeares World的一些注意事项。1A细节理解题。根据第二个方框给出的门票信息，由“Family 12. 00(2 adults +up to 3 children) ”可知全家(包括两个大人三个孩子)门票为12英镑。故答案为A2B细节理解题。根据内容可知，“The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map；nearest is Windsor Street(3 minutes Walk).”所有的汽车停放点都在地图上可以看到，距离莎士比亚故居最近的停车场是Windsor Street，只要3分钟，B项表述符合语境，选B。3D推理判断题。根据信息“The House may present difficulties but the Visitors Centre, its exhibition and the garden are accessible to wheelchair users.”可知，对于行动不便的人，进入故居可能有困难,但是游客中心，展览厅及花园都可以进入。分析内容可知，进需要帮助才能进入the house.，故选D。4C5A6D7C【解析】本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己牙疼去看牙医的经历。牙医为了减轻病人看病时的痛苦，在天花板上设计了一幅美术作品让病人欣赏，由此作者感悟到：要设身处地为他人着想4C推理判断题。根据第一段“The morning had been a disaster.
