26、For the first time, the Oxford English Dictionary has chosen not to name a word of the year, describing 2020 as "a year which cannot be neatly accommodated in one single word". Instead, from "unmute" to "mail-in", and from "coronavirus" to "lockdown", the famous reference work has announced its "words of an unprecedente(史无前例的) year".
Coronavirus, one of its words of the year, is a term that dates back to the 1960s. By March this year it was one of the most frequently used nouns in the English language. "Covid-19". first recorded on 11 February in a report by the World Health Organization, quickly overtook(超过) coronavirus in frequency of use. noted the dictionary. Other coronavirus-related language cited by the OED includes "pandemic". which has seen usage increase by more than 57,000% this year, as well as "lockdown", "shelter-in-place" “face masks".
The revolution in working habits has also affected language, with both "remote" and "remotely" seeing more than 300% growth in use since March. "Unmute" have seen 500% rises since March, while the "workation" and "staycation" increased by 500% and 380% respectively.
Other news events have also been reflected in language. In the early months of 2020, there were peaks in usage of "impeachment", and "mail-in" has seen an increase of 3,000%, Use of "Black Lives Matter" and "BLM" also increased sharply. "Bushfires", meanwhile. has been included. Use of "Brexit"(脱欧) however, has dropped by 80% this year.
"What words best describe 2020? A strange year? A crazy year? A lost year? Oxford Languages' monitor corpus(语料库) of English shows a huge rise in usage of each of those phrases compared to 2019," said the OED in its report. "What was genuinely unprecedented this year was the super speed at which the English-speaking world built up a new collective vocabulary relating to the coronavirus, and how quickly it became, in many instances, a core(核心的) part of the language.”
【1】Why did Oxford Dictionaries fail to select the word of the year 2020?
A．Because working habits affect language.
B．Because new words have not been created
C．Because no word can summarize the events of 2020.
D．Because coronavirus is the most significant event in 2020.
【2】Which word does not reflect the changes of working habits?
A．Remotely
B．Mail-in.
C．Staycation.
D．Workstation.
【3】What was really unique in 2020 according to OED?
A．The revolution in working habits.
B．The impact of "Black Lives Matter"
C．The vocabulary linked to bushfires.
D．The increase and wide usage of coronavirus-related words.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Oxford Dictionaries: words to describe 2020
B．Oxford Dictionaries: 2020 is an unprecedented year
C．Oxford Dictionaries: news events reflected in language
D．Oxford Dictionaries: 2020 has too many Words of the Year to name just one
27、Shannan Hearne’s oldest dream was to own a ranch (大牧场). From the moment she was first placed in the horseback at age two, she had always felt most comfortable on it. In February 2020, her dream finally came true, when she and her “ partner in-farm ” , Cory Conley, opened the gates of Sun and Moon Ranch. Then, just a month later, the country went in COVID-19 lockdown. Soon Hearne’s vision began to grow into something bigger.
With eight acres of grasslands and an abundance of sunshine and fresh air, there was no safer way for frightened neighbors to get out of the house. The ranch, Hearne realized, should be for everybody — it would be a place the community could call home.
As the pandemic deepened, locals began to gather there, not just for the free barbecues, but for the chance to put up a hammock (吊床) when they wanted some peace. Recreational vehicles and campers were welcome to pull in for a quiet night after a day on the road. “ I have a vision for the space being relaxing for whoever the universe sent our way — horses or people, ” says Hearne.
One of those people, now 15, was born without fingers on one hand. His grandmother brought him to Sun and Moon for riding lessons. Learning to control a horse with one hand helped him better manage his disability. Plus, a special bond with two of Hearne’s rescued horses, Annie and Honey, was a real leg up confidence-wise. “ There is something empowering about controlling a thousand-pound animal, and I believe this is especially true for children or anyone who struggles with any sort of self-confidence issues, ” Hearne says.
Another boy became selectively dumb after being bullied because of his autism (自闭症). Lesson by lesson, Hearne watched him slowly come out of his shell. Taking the reins (缰绳) helped him feel once again in control of the world around him. “ He went from not answering questions to talking our ears off, ” says Hearne.
【1】In Hearne’s vision, her ranch should be ______ .
A．a big commercial success
B．a healing place in hard times
C．a perfect site for riding lessons
D．an amusement park for children
【2】In paragraph 4, how did the friendship with two horses influence the boy?
A．It improved his riding skills.
B．It helped boost his confidence.
C．It stirred up his love for animals.
D．It taught him to get along with others.
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．A Big Ranch
B．COVID-19 Survivors
C．Sharing the Sun and Moon
D．Coming out of the Shell

29、 A scene from China’s biggest soap opera last year, Ode to Joy Season 2, has triggered much discussion on whether virginity is still a prized asset for women in “modern” China. In the scene, Qiu Yingying, a young but naive character, holds a dinner party to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, but the evening turns dramatic after her neighbour accidentally exposes her past relationship. Her boyfriend, Ying Qin, storms off, furious, expressing his thought that having sex before marriage is a moral spot for a woman.
However controversial the show is, it does reveal a universal phenomenon that sex education in China is often relatively backward and of minor significance. Parents very rarely share information about sex with children. What almost all parents do, however, is to warn their children, especially daughters not to have any dates before they graduate from university, fearing that they get hurt or become pregnant. There are stories of biology teachers skipping details of the reproductive system in class and ask students to learn it by themselves. Chinese communities also traditionally expect virginity before marriage.
Ren Yi, a student from East China Normal University, said it was perfectly reasonable for a boyfriend who was a virgin himself to require his girlfriend to be so. The only problem, she said, was if it was a double standard and the man expected virginity from a woman but not himself.
The issue was also being discussed by her university classmates in WeChat. Someone questioned why there wasn’t gender equality when it came to virginity, but another said she couldn’t accept Ying Qin’s comment on women who had sex before marriage.
While some still concentrate on virginity itself, others have shifted the focus of this debate.
Zhu Pingping, a Shanghai-based English teacher, commented that even debating the topic was old-fashioned in the 21st Century. She thought it was “disgusting” for the show to make an issue of it in modern cities, women are more independent and liberated, she said.
Her husband, Shen Peng, also a teacher, added that not everyone will and can advance with the times as he or she ages and some even want to restore the so-called traditional Chinese virtues of being a woman (女德), which from his perspective has long been used as a means to oppress women both physically and mentally throughout the history.
“Teaching students knowledge about sex doesn’t mean we encourage them to eat the forbidden fruit. Actually, it is just the opposite, because only when sex---like other aspects of lives---is dealt with frankly and appropriately in the educational process can the healthy growth of children raised in it be truly encouraged,” he said.
【1】Which one of the following might be Wrong according to the first two paragraphs?
A.The TV series Ode to Joy Season 2 has brought female virginity to attention.
B.Qiu Yingying’s relationship has been buried with her previous romance revealed.
C.Parents and teachers tend to avoid answering questions about sex from children.
D.Sex education in China has weighed strongly in the current educational system.
【2】It can be learned from the three interviewees’ opinions that ________.
A.a double standard encouraged in attitudes towards virginity is allowed
B.the topic on virginity is still worth public discussion in the present day
C.keeping pace with the times is not necessarily a natural outcome of age
D.teaching students sex is likely to lead them to have sex at an early age
【3】What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A.Measures to advocate sex education
B.Historical evidence of female oppression
C.Professional comments on the show
D.Examples to illustrate the virginity issue
【4】The author’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.
A.introduce a popular TV drama
B.explain a universal phenomenon
C.criticize the current education
D.arouse people’s food for thought

32、阅读下面材料，根据所给内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The bird must have only just been hatched (孵化) when I spot it. Its mother had disappeared, leaving it alone and shivering in the face of the north wind. I decided to take it straight back and build it a new home.
I hung an empty flowerpot (花盆) and it was in this pot that the bird was to have its new home. When Dad got home, he immediately discovered the new addition to our family. Without saying a word, he turned around and left the house. After some time, he returned and I saw that he had a handful of grass and pine needles. Obviously, Dad thought the nest I had made was far too rough and so he had decided to decorate it himself.
“A bird born at this time of year won’t survive the winter.” In spite of this prediction on the bird’s future, Dad very carefully fashioned the nest himself. Soon I found “NuoNuo” (Dad had named him) had started to grow feathers.
Dad probably realized that he had been a little cruel in his prediction. You see, he had already started training Nuo Nuo to walk. As you know, Nuo Nuo lived in a flowerpot, not a cage or anything. It was obvious that Nuo Nuo didn’t realize he was a bird. He perhaps thinks he was one of the family. But it is not enough for a bird to walk, it must fly as well. Dad soon began attempting to make him learn this new ability, but it was not an easy task. After all, nobody in our family had mastered the art of flying. We didn’t even have wings. How could we ask Nuo Nuo to do something that we had no means of doing ourselves?
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The flying lessons went on regardless.
