My hands were a bit sweaty, my heart was pounding in my chest, and my throat and tongue felt tense and dry. It was the first day of school. No, not for me as a student, but rather, for me as a first time reading tutor （助教）volunteering with the Experience Corps program.I'm so proud to be part of such a worthwhile educational organization. The Experience Corps developed a research-based, statistically proven reading improvement program which consists of fun reading games. In the games, Pd play with each child and they didn't even realize that they were actually learning and improving their reading-we were having too much fun!“Ms. RJ （as they called me） , "I read my book to my dog, Sunny, and she really liked it, too." Great! That*s the idea-keep on reading to others at home to increase accuracy and fluency. nMs. R, my mom has a baby in her belly. Pm going to be a big sister and will read to him when he comes out." That one made me feel all warm and sweet, and I told the student that she would be the best big sister ever. "Ms. R, why do you have gray hair?” I love the frankness of kids. I just laughed and told them it was better to have gray hair than no hair! We all giggled （傻笑）at that.The students were tested throughout the year, and results showed that they were making progress in their reading. I hope I played at least a small part in their academic success. When I first volunteered to tutor, I was a bit anxious. I had no teaching experience, but I found out that you don't need any. All you need is the willingness to give of yourself and a desire to work one-on-one with these children who so desperately want to please you.24. How did the author feel when first working as a reading tutor?A. Curious.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Pleased.25. What's the main task of the author in the school?A.

What*s the purpose of paragraph 3?A. To describe the pleasure of being a reading tutor.B. To state how the Experience Corps program works.C. To show how close the students are to the volunteer tutor.D. To explain the difficulties and hardship of teaching.27. In the author's view, what is the key to being a good reading tutor? A Experience.B. Devotion.C. Knowledge.D. Diligence.COne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees （黑猩猩）is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope to lesume in the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees, Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes-this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.28. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C. They are as intelligent as humans.D. They have their unique characters.29. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.30. What does the underlined word “resume" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue. B. Suspend.C. Monitor. D. Regulate.31. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees5 daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.DBritish sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work - The Underwater Museum of Cannes.“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help J Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world's oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine（崭新的）blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area's seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion （腐蚀） and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection/9 Taylor told Dezeen, "If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.” 32. What are the underwater museums intended to do?A. To make huge profits.B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.C. To show Jason Taylor's talent.D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.33. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?A. To popularize the features of the locals.B. To remind people to protect themselves.C. To reflect people's protection of the ocean.D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.34. What's paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the project was started.B. How the seagrass was restored.C. What recovery effort the project madeD. Why the surroundings were improved.35. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。Are you consciously designing your life? Do youreally understand what that means and how to do it?This matters because when online marketers are sellingtheir services or products, they'll give you the time andfinancial freedom.36It is important for you tounderstand what designing your life actually looks likeand how to do it effectively.Get clear on what you want. At the core ofdesigning your life is the question of what you actuallywant and what will help you wake up excited to liveevery day.37Create a plan. Think about your life like a beautifulwork of architecture. A bunch of builders didn't justwalk out there one day and start throwing things togetherin the hope that something nice would turn out.38And they did it long before they ever even broke groundon building it.Be flexible and open-minded. Even when there is apian in place, those who live the most fulfilled andjoyful lives are those who are flexible and open-mindedto change and new opportunities.39It is that fluid（流动的）nature of life that brings uncertainty andadventure into the picture. Therefore, the plans youmake today may no longer be relevant tomorrow.40We live in a society where “busy” iscelebrated. The problem is that when busy becomesyour way of living, the things you care most about havea way of getting buried under others. That's why the artof learning to say "no" more often is necessary if you wantto start designing your life. One truth about life is thatyou can't do two things at once-at least not effectively.A. Say"no"more often.B.Then you need to create your "life by design”.C.There exists a culture where “no” has a negativesuggestion.D.To achieve this,you have to make it clear what youexactly want.E.Many aspects of your life are constantly developingand changing.F.Be like the architect and take the time to create theplan before you start.G.Instead, they did the dull work of mapping out everysingle detail of that structure.第三局部 语言知识运用（共两节，总分值45分）第一节（共20小题；每题1.5分，总分值30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以 填入空白处的最正确选项。Jack was wandering on a deserted beach in a love
