degree(学士学位)which he started in1995.Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasnt necessary for personalsuccess.But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42.At thattime,his job development stalled,so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself andwork well in future.The second time around,Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row.He found manycourses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice.He found support services played an importantrole in his successful return.He said,“I hadnt written a paper for years,so I found the college writing centre to beof great use.Before I handed in a paper,they would give me feedback,which was really great.The university hasso much built in to help students succeed and Im so thankful for that.”But he also met difficulties this time.As astudent much older than others,he found it harder to make friends with classmates.However,no matter what had happened before,he finally got his bachelors degree.He said,“After all theseyears,I had thought it wouldnt mean anything,but it means a lot.I totally understand the value of education now.Its not necessarily the value that other people see in it,but the value it gives me as a person,for my confidenceand my self-esteem.It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”4.Why was Montefiores graduation unusual?A.He had achieved personal success before.B.He understood the importance of a degree.C.He finished his degree at a much older age.D.He began his university study at a young age.5.What does the underlined word stalled in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Stopped.B.Started.C.Survived.D.Succeeded.6.What can we learn about Montefiore

better about himself.CThe measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases theneed for plastic protective equipment.Most plastic is made from fossil fuels.Millions of tons of greenhouse gasare released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome.Less than 10%of the plastic produced has been recycled.Even moreof it has been burned.But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland,and it is increasingly polluting theenvironment.We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bagsand bits for food.But microplastic is even more worrisome.Plastic doesnt break down biologically but insteadbreaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）,which have been found in every corner of theplanet,on land and in the air,in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires.Instead,they haveviewed single-use plasticwhich makes up about 40%of plastic used each yearas a litter issue that can besolved through better recycling and waste management.That attitude must change because the recent globalbreakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been,nor ever will be,able to keep upwith plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reductionit was the first state to ban single-use plasticbags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged.The state also came close to passing anact which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of75%by 2032.California,though influential,cant solve this crisis alone.The US has long been producing a greatamount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.8.Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A.To show the harm of plasticB.To warn of the climate change.C.To call for the development of fossil fuels.D.To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.9.Whats the authors attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A.Favorable.B.Tolerant.C.Curious.D.Opposed.10.Whats Californias role in reducing plastic waste?A.A pioneer.B.A failure.C.An objector.D.A predictor.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB.Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC.Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD.Global Environmental Disasters Are IncreasingDHappiness is not a warm phone,according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfactionand screen time.The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M.Twenge at San Diego State University(SDSU).To research this link,Twenge,along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W.Keith Campbell at theUniversity of Georgia,dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future(MtF)study,a nationally representativesurvey of more than a million U.S.8th-,10th-,and 12th-graders.The survey asked students questions about howoften they spent time on their Phones,tablets and computers,as well as questions about their face-to-face socialinteractions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices playing computer games,using social media,texting and video chatting were less happy than those who invested more time innon-screen activities like sports,reading newspapers and magazines,and face-to-face social interactions.The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,Twenge said.Aim to spend no more than twohours a day on digital media,and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face andexercising two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s,its easy to find that the increase ofscreen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU.S.teens.Specifically,young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012.Thats the year when thepercentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent.By far the largest change in teens livesbetween 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media,and the followingdecline in in-person social activities and sleep.12.Which method did Twenges team use for the study?A.Calculating students happiness.B.Asking students certain questions.C.Analyzing data from a survey.D.Doing experiments on screen time.13.How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A.By making a comparison.B.By giving an example.C.By making an argument.D.By introducing a concept.14.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A To draw a conclusion from the study.B.To offer some advice to the readers.C.To prove social activities importance.D.To support the researchers finding.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB.Screen Time Should Be BannedC.Teens Lives Have Changed SharplyD.Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项Youre readingThe Week Juniormagazine right now,which means you

would change my life,”he said.“I was just trying to run a small business,and itgrew so big!”Another example is the CCTV presenter Sa Beining,_46._got accepted to Peking Universitywithout even_47._(have)to take thegaokao,but hesitated slightly as Beijing appeared to be too far away.Inthe end,he_48._(choose)to go because“Peking University is not bad after all.”Unfortunately,this strategy does not work very wellfor those of_49._(we)who are not Ma Yun or Sa Beining,as humblebraggers tend to be seen ashypocritical(虚伪的)and insincere.The wiser thing to do,perhaps,is_50._(simple)be honest about your achievements.第四部分第四部分写作（共两节，满分写作（共两节，满分4040 分）分）第一节短文改错（满分第一节短文改错（满分1010 分）分）51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10
