25、He stood in front of our poster and started reading. After a while, he asked, What is cancer? I explained what cancer is. Then I said, Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less.
26、 Thats why were collecting money for it. Do children suffer from cancer, too? asked the boy. Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. Lisa said and I nodded.

30、 1.A细节理解题。 根据文章第二段中 “when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D”可知，当天晴阳光充足时，阳光可以有助于你获得维生 素 D。故选 A。 2.B细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Its a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging.”可知，这是一个很好的机会，你可以通过浇花或翻土来锻 炼你的身体。所以浇花是
31、一种园艺活动。故选 B。 3.C推理判断题。第三段中提到“Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating.” 根据其中的 children 可知，该段谈论的是园艺对孩子的影响；该段 还提到其他的园艺对孩子的好处“It gets them off computers, televisions and phones.” 和“It can also help them to understand the meaning of No pains, no gains. ” 。由此可以推断
32、，该段谈 论的是从事园艺对孩子的好处。该段中缺失的部分是该段的首句，应 第 11页（共 14页） 该是该段的主题句。因此应该是“园艺对于孩子们来说，是一项极好 的活动。 ”故选 C。 4.B标题归纳题。通读全文，文章第一段提到“It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables.” ，园艺带 给我们芳香的花朵，新鲜的水果和蔬菜；第二段谈论的是园艺有助于 保持健康；第三段谈论的是孩子从事园艺的好处；第四段谈论的是园 艺是很好的建立人际关系的方式。综合来看，文章谈论的是园艺给人 们带来的种种好处。因此文章最好的标题是“园艺
33、的好处” 。故选 B。 5.C推理判断题。本题题干为：第一段的作用是什么？ 第一段 中作者用 “长滩岛冰人”在菲律宾达沃市鳄鱼公园在线直播与成百 上千的观众互动和询问当地人独特的菲律宾水果或买一些纪念品给 他的听众，并担任在线导游的角色。下文讲到了新型冠状病毒肺炎导 致旅游业严重衰退，但直播可能是旅游市场的一种生存方式。由此可 知作者用这个例子来引出本文的话题。故选 C 项。 6.A词义猜测题。由第二段中的“The COVID19 has led to a huge recession in the tourism industry but live steaming might be a w
34、ay for the tourism market to seek for survival.”并根 据文章中的对比可知，这里 recession 为“后退；不景气”之意，所 以才有寻求生存。故选 A 项。 7.A细节理解题。由第三段“Zang Yue goes by Boracay Iceman because he owned a travel agency and a spa at Boracay” 一句可知臧悦被称为“长滩冰人” ，因为他在长滩拥有一家旅行社和 一家水疗中心。由此可知答案为 A 项。 8.B推理判断题，文章讲的是新型冠状病毒肺炎导致旅游业严 重衰退，但直播可能是使市场经
35、济复苏的一种生存方式。中国许多著 第 12页（共 14页） 名的博物馆和历史遗迹为被困在家的人们推出了一系列在线展览和 直播。故可知文章最可能出现在报纸的经济部分。故答案为 B 项。 三、阅读填句 1.G根据第二段中提到的火山的三种类型可知,所填的句子是引出 下文的过渡句,G 项符合语境。 2.B根据下文的“Those.andthose.”可知,此处介绍的是火山 的三种类型,所填的句子和后面的句子是并列关系,所以选 B 项。 3.F所填的句子是本段的主题句。本段主要介绍的是活火山。按照 火山的寿命来看,它是活火山;按照人类的寿命来看,它不是,因此对 于活火山科学家的意见不一致,所以选 F 项。
36、 4.A与上文的 “Giventhelonglifespanofsuchvolcanoes,theyareveryactive.” 形 成对比,所以填 A 项。 5.E根据 “Scientistsusuallyconsideravolcanoactive.” 可知,E 项是对上文的进一步说明。 四、书面表达 Paragraph 1: The boy happily ran to us and asked, Would you take a donation from children?Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldnt believe suc
37、h a little boy would care. Though we didnt believe it, we said yes. The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five-dollar bills. He said, I just asked for 第 13页（共 14页） them from my mother. I really want to help the children suffering from cancer. Paragraph 2: Both Lisa and I were deeply t
38、ouched.We thanked the boy, but he left soon. Looking at his back, both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged. We wanted to try harder to raise money. So instead of just standing there, we went to people and told them about our program. At the end of the day, we raised over three thousand dollars, a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning. 第 14页（共 14页）
