universities in theeastern US.Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes.This girl created her own future.The teen was abandoned by her family last summer,when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee.Shefound herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends sofas.The school bus driver learned about Dawns situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family.Soon,Dawn had a job at Burns High School.She worked from 6 a.m.to 7：40 a.m.before the first school bell rang.Sheswept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons,before diving into her studies in the evenings.Dawns hard work paid off.She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT.“There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up,“the 18-year-old said.But it was never inme to give up,because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education.Even before Dawns family left her,she led a difficult life.Her family was poor and cups of noodles were oftenthe only food.Dawn44studied by candlelightbecause her parents couldnt afford to pay the electricity bill（电费）.Dawn has now reconnected with her family.They are proud of her accomplishments（成就）and are attendingher high school graduation.24.Why didnt Dawn give up her studies?A.To reconnect with her family.B.To thank those who had helped her.C.To get an education to

expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others.Happiness,sadness,fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone.But when part of the face ismasked（戴口 罩），it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.If you cannot read others emotional state,your ability to empathize（共情）with them may be weakened.Moreover,if your mask is hiding your emotional state,others may not be able to empathize with you.Wearing amask can also make you feel more distracted,further weakening your connection to others.Fortunately,you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have leftthe eyes.If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual,you should look them in the eyes,which may beeasier said than done.Eye contact may cause discomfortable after only three seconds.But keep in mind,eyecontact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself.For instance,when someone ishappy,they stand up straighter and lift their head;when they are sad,they slouch and drop their head;and whenthey are angry,their whole body tenses up.Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may helpreduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.Dont forget the impact of your voice.It5s not just what you say,its how you say it.Along with the actualwords,you also use volume,tone and pauses to convey your message.Before your next interaction with a friend,think of ways to improve your connection.Pull your hair back sothey can see your eyes clearly.Use your body and voice to convey the emotions you fear your mask might hide.By all means,remember that social distance doesnt have to mean socially distant.28.What is the function of eye contact according to the author?A.You seem to be more friendly with eye contact fbr a long time.B.Proper eye contact makes you appear more trustworthy.C.Only eye contact can avoid misunderstanding.D.Eye contact for five seconds makes you feel comfortable.29.What can be learned from the fourth paragraph?A.Learning body languages well can increase smooth communication.B.There is little information conveyed by the body itself.C.When people are sad,their whole body tenses up.D.Standing up straighter and lifting ones head means a person is angry.30.How many ways are mentioned to increase communication when a person is wearing a mask?A.1 B.2 C.3 D.431.What can we infer from the last sentence?A.We have to keep social distance strictly.B.We can regain some control over communication by social distance.C.Social distance can increase understanding with a masked individual.D.Social distance should not keep people distant and cold.DVolunteering means working for free to help someone else.Mrs.Obama says volunteering is very important.It should be part of everyone*s life,she says.Many teens agree.They say that helping others feels great and makes a difference.These days,moreteens volunteer than work for pay.Teens clean up parks,walk dogs at animal shelters,visit the elderly,and more.Some cities including Seattle,Chicago,and Washington,D.C.require high school students to volunteer.Students must volunteer in order to graduate.The student volunteers learn new skills and help theircommunities（社 区）.Many parents subscribe to the idea they say volunteering helps teens build job skills.But most teens dontwant to be forced to volunteer.They say they are busy.And they say volunteering is only fun if its a choice.Read both sides of the debate and decide.YesVolunteering can help teens get into college or get a job.Many cities and towns need help.Volunteers can help keep important programs going.Not all teens will volunteer if it isn*t required.Schools should require students to do all they can to get readyfor adult life.NoMost teens are already very busy with classes,homework,jobs,and sports.Forcing them to do more isnt fair.It should be up to each person.Helping doesnt feel good if you must do it.Finding a volunteer job isnt always easy.Students shouldnt be kept from graduating because of somethingthey cant control.32.It is known from the text that in Washington.D.C.A.everyone would like to volunteerB.finding a volunteer job is not difficultC.volunteering is a must for college

1980s,scientists were trained to ignore animal pain,according to the belief that the ability to feelpain was associated only with higher consciousness.However,today,scientists view humans as a species ofanimals,and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness.36.If you hit another person in the face,you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response.37.Gradually,scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals.Demonstratinga response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.38.Some researchers argue lobsters（龙虾）are too dissimilar to vertebrates（脊椎动物）to feel pain.Nonetheless,lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response.Lobsters guard their injuries,and learn toavoid dangerous situations.They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness.In result,today mostscientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain,it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them onice in some countries.Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal,many restaurants prefer more humanemethods.39.To satisfy picky diners,more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods.Currently,the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun.This device electrocutes（电击）alobster.40.The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain.In contrast,it takes about 2 minutes for alobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.A.But huge disagreement exists.B.The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.C.It beats the former method by saving chefs5 effort in cleaning the creature.D.Ifs difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.E.People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.F.Except for moral consideration,many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor（味道）of the meat.G.Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第 一 节（共 15小题；每小题1 分，满 分 15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佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Different things usually stand for different feelings.Red,for example,is the color of
