【題目】 For many families, a night at the ballpark is a treat. But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic（自閉癥的）children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually become upset and scared.

For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations—and how others will react to them-keeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have.

Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician（兒科醫(yī)生）in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the community didn't serve her patients well in the long run.

"If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then there's no reason to expect them to be independent one day," Ross said. "It's a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting."

So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits.

Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights", when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume （音量）on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. "You can't turn down the volume of the world," Ross said. "It's nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night."

To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program.

She armed all the Phillies players and game-day staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event.

Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane.

Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. "We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future," she said.

【1】According to Ross, what does a social disability mean?

A.Fearing light and noise.

B.Lacking social experience.

C.Having to rely on others for help.

D.Being separated from the community.

【2】What does the underlined part "do more,, imply?

A.Making the ballpark less noisy.

B.Making baseball teams autism-friendly.

C.Providing a normal game for autistic children.

D.Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.

【3】What is the Philadelphia Phillies?

A.A baseball team.

B.A baseball game.

C.A team of clinicians.

D.Families with autistic children.

【4】What is the purpose of Ross's airport travel program?

A.To help families to learn about air travel.

B.To teach airport staff knowledge about autism.

C.To teach autistic children how to travel by air.

D.To help autistic children get used to social situations.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。自閉癥的孩子遭受著巨大的痛苦，他們尤其是對(duì)燈光和聲音非常敏感。本篇文章介紹了兒科醫(yī)生Dr. Wendy Ross為了讓深受自閉癥折磨的孩子和家庭能夠順利融入社會(huì)而做出的卓有成效的努力。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Ross在第四段If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then there's no reason to expect them to be independent one day," Ross said. "It's a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting."一句中解釋了a social disability的概念：無法獨(dú)立，只能依靠別人的幫助。故選C。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)It's nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night.可知Ross并不是只想舉辦一場(chǎng)特殊的比賽，而是想讓患有自閉癥的孩子們每個(gè)晚上都能觀看比賽。由此可知"do more意為：為自閉癥孩子提供正常比賽。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段中"partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies"一句及第八段中She armed all the Phillies players..."可知Philadelphia Phillies應(yīng)該是一支棒球隊(duì)伍。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)'...helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits"、" Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles...”可知，讓患自閉癥的兒童去機(jī)場(chǎng)也是使這些兒童適應(yīng)社會(huì)環(huán)境。故選D。

【題目】 Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. 【1】 As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things; they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses, cellphones or other small items. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.

【2】 For example, medication side effects, vitamin B12 shortage, alcoholism, tumors(腫瘤) or infections in the brain can cause memory loss. A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.

Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance, someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 【3】

The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 【4】 Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.

【題目】 Alabama: Priester’s Pecans

Dessert in the South basically starts and ends with an ooey-gooey pecan (核桃) pie. Especially in Alabama, where the pecan is the official state nut. While there are plenty of farms that pick and package pecans, perhaps the most famous is Priester’s, a family-run business that’s been supplying Alabama with its favorite nuts for over seven decades.

Alaska: Salmon jerky

Forget beef jerky (肉干) - in Alaska, it’s all about the salmon jerky. Home to five different species of the flavorful fish (king, red, pink, silver, and chum), the northernmost state produces nearly one-third of the wild salmon consumed around the world. Bonus: Salmon is one of the seven healthiest fish you can eat.

Arizona: Saguaro cactus

The largest cactus (仙人掌) in the United States, the saguaro cactus is found only in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. Living to be up to 200 years old, the cacti, whose flower is also the state’s flower, are generally around 30 feet tall and can grow unlimited arms. Want to see for yourself? Visit one of these 10 outstanding desert escapes in America.

【題目】Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books—especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy ‘proper’ books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being ‘the biggest bookshop in the world’ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize — in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲學(xué)), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒險(xiǎn)) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推車) which line the gutters(貧民區(qū)). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(業(yè)余愛好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

【1】According to the passage, we can infer that __________.

A. Londoners like borrowing books from libraries

B. Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapers

C. Londoners like reading books in libraries

D. Londoners don't like buying ‘proper’ books.

【2】Charing Cross Road which is well-known for ________ lies in the __________ of London.

A. bookstores, East Central district B. publishing houses, downtown

C. Bookshops, center D. libraries, countryside

【3】The underlined word “solely” in the second paragraph means__________.

A. wholly B. partly

C. jointly D. seldom

【4】The third paragraph mainly tells us _________in London.

A. where to buy the dear new books

B. where to buy the cheap new books

C. where to buy the cheap second-hand books

D. where to buy the dear second-hand books

【題目】Economy rebounding after drop

China's economy experienced a deep reduction in the first quarter due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. 【1】. This indicates that the country's recovery has gained a firmer footing, officials and economists said on Friday.

【2】. However, it remains unclear whether the government will still set a GDP growth target for the year. Economists said China's policy for the next step needs to focus on stimulating(刺激) demand and stabilizing(穩(wěn)定)employment to promote economic recovery.

Mao Shengyong, NBS spokesman, said the outbreak created a serious blow to the country's economy in the first quarter, but major economic indicators(指標(biāo)) rebounded in March.【3】.

Lian Ping, chief economist at Zhixin Investment, said the government needs to strengthen policy support to prevent the economy from suffering a second wave of blows from the global economic downturn. 【4】. While most large companies have resumed production, according to NBS calculations, many smaller companies are still struggling to resume work under rising financial difficulties and labor shortages.

Retail sales dropped by 19 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, which indicated that domestic demand remains relatively weak and there is still room for policies to effectively boost households' consumption(消費(fèi)), economists said. 【5】. The urban unemployment rate was 5.9 percent in March, down by 0.3 percentage point from February, according to the NBS.

A.Urban household income declined by 3.9 percent year-on-year in the first quarter.

B.But major economic indicators improved mostly in March.

C.China's GDP in the first quarter contracted by 6.8 percent from a year earlier according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

D.Chinese economy is recovering as more companies are borrowing to promote their production recovery.

E.And the country's economic performance will improve further in the second quarter.

F.Chinese companies, including exporters, have seen an increase in cancellations(取消) of orders.

G."More support needs to be given to households as the decline(下降) of residents' income

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。

A gift of gold

It was the winter of 1937, just after Christmas. The Depression was still going on, but I was in good spirits. I was going to graduate from elementary school, but my mother still dressed me in shorts. Most of my classmates had given up wearing shorts. For the graduation ceremony, all the boys were expected to wear white shirts and dark blue wool pants.

I waited until a week before I told my mother. On a cold Monday afternoon I went home from school.

“Mom,” I said, “about graduation...”

“Yes?” she answered.

“They are going to give me the first-prize medal,” I said.

Still working over the stove, she looked over her shoulder at me and smiled broadly. “That’s wonderful, Babe. Dad and I will be both there, and we’ll be the proudest.”

She must have seen by the look on my face that something was wrong. She turned her back and said, “So?”

“So, I have to get long pants,” I said.

“Babe, we don’t have money for new pants right now,” she said.

“Okay,” I burst out.“Then I won’t go to graduation. Plus, I’m running away from home!”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t pack my bags. We’ll solve the problem of pants somehow,” she said.

The following Saturday, when my mother said “Let’s go shopping”, I knew that she had solved the problem. Then we left home. We took the trolley (有軌電車) and got off at Southern Boulevard, the best shopping street. The clothing store was just a couple of blocks away.

But first we walked a short way down the Boulevard and stopped at a place I had never noticed before.

“Wait here,” she said. Then she entered a storefront that looked like a bank and opened the door with the hand with a gold wedding ring on her ring finger.

She went out about ten minutes later with a purse in her left hand, and then we went to the pants store. I chose a pair of pants. After a patient bargain with the seller, my mother bought it at the price of three dollars and fifty cents and handed it to me.

注意：1. 所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

2. 至少使用5個(gè)短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)；

3. 續(xù)寫部分分兩段，每段的開頭語(yǔ)已為你寫好；

4. 續(xù)寫完成后，請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)。

Paragraph 1:

I was holding the pants tightly under my arm when my mother went to pay the money.

Paragraph 2:

We took the trolley back home.
