A
During ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.
★Stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.
★Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.
★Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.
★Playing diabolos
A diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产). 1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter? A.To practice their feet. B.To warm themselves. C.To train their skills. D.To relax themselves. 2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?
A.Weifang kites. B.Tianjin kites.
C.Beijing kites. D.Nantong kites. 3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound? A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.
B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light. C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle. D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.
B
One day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
4. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.
A. scolded him for what he had done B. left the door unrepaired C. told him how expensive it was D. gave him a spanking 5. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door? A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time. B. He found that his family members no longer liked him. C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.
D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage. 6. The experience may cause the author _______. A. to hide his anger away from others B. not to go against his parents’ will C. to have a better control of himself D. not to make mistakes in the future
7. What of the following is the main idea of this passage? A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior. B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.
C. What is the best way to become a more patient person? D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
C
When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.
A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure
they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them. 8. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________ A. her father pushed her B. a book inspired her
C. her teacher encouraged her D. James Watson motivated her 9. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.
A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix\" B. she discovered the structure of DNA C. she is a hardworking woman scientist D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA 10. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science. B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry. C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals. D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race. 11. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?
A. Determined and responsible. B. Ambitious and humorous. C. Cruel and indifferent. D. Fearless and stubborn.
D
The shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.
According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.
With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. One potentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.
Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowly
release that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.
To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40 percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves. 12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage. B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer. C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees. D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city. 13. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?
A. Severe damage of city facilities. B. Serious human health problems.
C. Residents' growing demands for plants. D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources. 14. Why are trees crucial to cities?
A. They help shade and cool the cities. B. They make urban scenery beautiful. C. They build up city cooling systems. D. They essentially block and release heat. 15. What can city planners conclude from the study? A. They should publish the study in a newspaper. B. They should educate citizens to protect forests. C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks. D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

My high school life will over, but the coming-of-age ceremony still stays in my mind.
That day we came to school early than usual and gathered in the front of the teaching building. We first went through a red gate made of balloons, that indicated we had become adult. Our parents were invited to be present and sat beside me. After the headmaster made a speech, we were required to exchanging our letters with our parents. As tears roll down our cheeks, we began to hug our parents tightly because we realized they loved us so deep.
