A．A textbook.

After winning the gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform diving competition in

the Tokyo Olympics on Aug 5, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan has caught the attention of the

nation. Not only because of her flawless performance, but also for the innocence she

displayed while speaking with the media. Quan said her dream is to save enough money to

treat her sick mother, buy snacks, and go to an entertainment park and a zoo.

Were it not for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics due to the COVID- 19

pandemic, Quan would not have participated in the Games as she only joined the national

team last year. Quan is the third child of her parents who live in a village in Zhanjiang,

Guangdong province. The city of Zhanjiang has been a cradle of elite Chinese divers through

the years, producing the likes of Lao Lishi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games, and He

Chong, who ranked first at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

During a visit to Maihe Primary School, Chen Huaming, the diving coach at Zhanjiang

Sports School, noticed Quan was more agile (敏捷的) and jumped much higher than other

kids. After giving her a try on a diving board, he instantly knew he had discovered a true

talent. Quan was not the only youngster to impress Chen, but he admitted she was the one

that always practiced the hardest.

Now Quan has become a sporting sensation. Her previously quiet rural home has

become a must-see place for not only locals, but also livestreaming hosts and business people,

who come for various purposes, all of which are aimed at trying to capitalize on the national

attention her success story has attracted.

government is duty-bound to extend a helping hand to protect the family from being disturbed,

so that the young diving genius can focus more on her training and studies.

7．Which of the following words can best describe Quan?

A．Hardworking and innocent.

C．Smart and reliable.

At some point in our lives, we all snore. A cold or allergy can block nasal passages, a

few drinks too close to bed will automatically relax tongue, palate and throat muscles—and

therefore we know that we’re unconsciously forcing air past those soft tissues, causing

vibrations that escape as a snore.

“Snoring can be normal and not something to worry about,” said sleep specialist

Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in the division of sleep medicine for Harvard Medical School.

But snoring can also be a key sign of obstructive sleep apnea (阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停), a

serious sleep disorder in which people actually stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a

time. “When it’s loud snoring, or it’s interrupted by pauses in breathing, that’s where we start

to get concerned,” Robbins said.

It’s estimated that at least 25 million Americans and 936 people worldwide may suffer

B．Honest and strong-willed.

D．Easy-going and brave.

from obstructive sleep apnea, with many more undiagnosed. It’s called “obstructive sleep

apnea” because unlike central sleep apnea —in which the brain occasionally skips telling the

body to breathe — obstructive sleep apnea is due to a closure of the airways by weak, heavy

or relaxed soft tissues.

“You’re making the effort with your belly and your chest to try to get the air in and out,

but because of the block in the upper airway, you can’t. Often you aren’t aware of this

struggle, but it can be very, very scary for anyone watching,” said sleep specialist Dr. Raj

Dasgupta, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the

University of Southern California. If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea puts you at a high

risk for hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or depression, even an early death,

according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

8．What’s Rebecca Robbins’s attitude towards snoring?

A．Indifferent. B．Objective. C．Negative. D．Positive.

9．According to the passage, what’s the reason for obstructive sleep apnea?

A．Bad sleeping habits.

C．Infection from family members.

10．What can we infer from the passage?

A．Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea have been diagnosed.

B．Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea realize their breathing difficulties.

C．There is no need to worry about any type of snoring.

D．Obstructive sleep apnea may lead to a variety of diseases.

11．What will the author write about in the following paragraph of the passage?

A．The dangers of obstructive sleep apnea.

B．The history of American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

C．The importance for people to realize the existence of obstructive sleep apnea.

D．The scientific methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea.

Back in 1933, a man called George Spicer and his wife were driving along a road near

Loch Ness. Suddenly, a weird animal with a long neck crossed in front of so the

Spicers claimed. Ever since then, the Loch Ness monster has been a household name,

although myths of a terrifying creature in the Loch date back to the Dark Ages.

Since the Spicers’ experience, scientists have been wondering whether such an animal

试卷第4页，共11页

B．Blocked breathing organs.

D．Unhealthy eating habits.

might really exist in the Loch’s murky depths. Research teams have patiently watched Loch

Ness’s surface for weeks at a time, submarines have explored its deep, dark waters, and

underwater cameras and sonar have searched for it. Most of this work happened from the

1960s to 1980s, during a ‘golden age’ of Nessie hunting.

Yet no monster has been found. Nevertheless, there have been more than 1,000 reported

sightings in total, and every year tourists visit the Loch in the hope of catching a glimpse of a

monster. But there is no reason to think that anyone has really seen Nessie. Instead, they have

seen seals, birds, swimming deer and unusual waves.

Despite this, the idea that Nessie might be real is still popular. So earlier this year,

Professor Neil Gemmell from the University of Otage in New Zealand led a trip to Loch Ness,

using a new scientific technique to find Nessie and solve the mystery once and for all. He set

out to search for something called ‘environmental DNA’, or eDNA for short.

EDNA has helped us find all kinds of rare, shy and even extinct animals and plants, so

Gemmell wondered if eDNA could be collected from samples of water taken from different

points of Loch Ness. He put together a research team, raised the money needed to complete

the project , and set to work. Right now, we are still waiting for the results from Gemmell’s

project. But even if eDNA for Nessie is not discovered, the project is still useful, because it

could help provide a complete list of every plant and animal species living in Loch Ness.

12．What’s the meaning of the underlined word?

A．Uneasy. B．Dark. C．Dizzy. D．Untrue.

13．Which method was not used during the 1960s and 1980s to prove the existence of the

Loch Ness monster?

A．Observation over the Loch Ness surface.

C．Fishing activities.

14．What can we infer from the passage?

A．The Loch Ness monster has been witnessed many times.

B．People who claim to have seen the Loch Ness monster may have been mistaken.

C．EDNA was used for the first time in the search for the Loch Ness monster.

D．The project of Gemmell will be considered a failure if evidence of Nessie is not found.

15．What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Will We Ever Find Nessie?

B．Are the Sightings of Nessie Real?

试卷第5页，共11页

B．Submarine exploration.

D．Underwater technical devices.

C．Return of the ‘Golden Age’ for Hunting the Sea Monster.

D．New Evidence of Nessie Found by New Zealand Scientists.

二、七选五

A research paper is a long essay in which writers present their perspective on a topic

using independent sources. It is a proven fact that finding reliable and valid sources for

research papers is your first and primary task. ____16____ Here’s how to gather the

information from sources before you start writing.

Is

the

author

a

respected

authority

in

the

field?

The credibility of an author is very important in determining the quality of sources.

____17____ But such claims must be confirmed. Look for the author’s academic background,

and professional associations. You can search the web for the author or search DISCOVERY

to see what also the author has written.

Is

the

publisher

reputable?

University and academic presses publish high-quality material that has been

peer-reviewed. Experts assess the merits of the paper before it is published, which ensures its

quality. ____18____ Government or educational sites — ones that have names with gov or

edu — are usually reliable.

Does

the

source

contain

any

bias?

Bias is not necessarily disqualifying, but you need to determine whether the source

favors a certain side of an issue. For example, if an article says that petrol companies do not

represent a danger to the environment, check what other sources are cited. If most of the

sources are from oil companies, there is probably bias.

____19____

In general, sources should be within the past 10 years for subjects in which information

changes quickly (science, technology, medicine). Consider whether the age of a source

adversely affects its usefulness to your research. No matter what the date of publication is, it

is your responsibility to be sure that all of your sources contain information that is relevant

and accurate.

Now that you have your notes from your sources, it is time to write your first draft, and

you must include specific information from your source to support your ideas. ____20____

试卷第6页，共11页

— but if you can collect the right resources from the start, you’re halfway there!

A．How current is the information?

B．Does the author agree or disagree with my ideas?

C．If you are using a website, make sure it is reputable.

D．Putting together a top-grade essay is a demanding task.

E．Many people on the Internet describe themselves as experts.

F．Although it is not a simple or quick process, it is possible to do it on your own.

G．When using a computer for searching sources, make sure to respect the library’s policies.

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面短文，

根据所给情节进行续写，

使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ken Scott kicked off the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain

town of Mullan, Idaho. He’d just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort

had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As an experienced ski addict, he

didn’t want to miss this big golden opportunity. These conditions are what skiers live for.

When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he came across his friend Paul, a

former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades.

Both of them were exhilarated. Before setting off, it was Paul’s routine to check his phone

tightly fixed inside his parka (风

雪外套). For the next hour the pair skied on various runs

under a lightly dull sky, making fresh tracks. They were both in a playful mood, laughing as

they tackled the steep runs.

Almost immediately, the snow beneath their feet gave way. In a millisecond, Paul

realized what was happening. “Avalanche! (雪崩)” he yelled to Scott, who was not far behind.

Scott responded. The sudden snow slide caused fear in his voice. “This is happening!”

Instantly, both were hit by a mass of snow that would hit and carry them some 500 feet down

the mountain. Scott felt it surrounding and enclosing him, moving quickly up his back and

over his shoulders, then heavy against his neck. Snow filled the space in front of him and

piled up around the whole of him. Paul, too, was swept downhill.

They remembered the avalanche survival lessons they had learned. Keep your head up.

Try to swim. Stay on top of the snow. But the snow was too powerful and they felt themselves

rolling like a load of clothes in a washing machine. When Scott finally came to rest, he was

lying on his left side and completely buried, skis and poles still attached.
