B Hazel Mayfield usually cooks the Thanksgiving meal for her extended family in Houston, Texas. She usually welcomes friends and neighbors eager to sample her fried turkey , green bean casserole, candied yams, homemade cornbread dressing, and dirty rice 一 just a few of her signature dishes. Known as Suga Mama, because her grandchildren think she s so sweet, the 91 - year-old typically likes to do her own shopping for the ingredients to make her special dishes. “My mother is the head cook of the family ,”said Paulette Mouton, Mayfields daughter.“Because of her reputation, you know , there re people in and out all day, everybody s family comes through. They want to get some of Suga Mamas cooking. We re from Louisiana and we cook all that. ”( One in six Americans could go hungry in 2020 as pandemic persists. ) But Mayfield hasnt been to the grocery store since March. And there is little about Thanksgiving 2020 that s usual. Hundreds of thousands of American families have re-imagined the holiday with virtual celebrations, canceled or delayed travel plans, or for small gatherings with people in their households in response to COVID-19, the deadly virus that has killed more than 250 ,000 in the U. S. and spoiled life around the world. This year, Mayfield s family members are lamenting( 悲叹) the absence of a big gathering. Theyve explained to their young children and grandchildren why this year s Thankgiving is different. Mayfields youngest daughter, Michelle Sanders, says it s tough helping her grandchildren understand why they cant see some of their other family members. “Its really hard, trying to explain to them, ”Sanders said.“When you re talking to them and they want to come over, you have to tell them no. They really dont know how to be careful. ” Sanders added, “And, they dont understand that, being three, four, and six, you know they dont really understand that. So, its . its really, really hard, and heartbreaking.” 24. What kind of person is Hazel Mayfield? A. Helpful and kind-hearted. B. Stubborn and enthusiastic. C. Talented and instructive. D. Grateful and sensitive. 25. Why are there people in and out of Hazel Mayfield s house? A. They like to talk to Suga Mama warmly. B. They come to help cook meals as they like. C. They come to satisfy their stomaches. D. They come to cook various meals. 26. How do people react to this year s Thanksgiving? A. They try to get together with their family members in the open. B. They have to avoid big gatherings even with family members. C. They feel difficult to persuade their children to get together. D. They are pleased with the absence of Thanksgiving celebration. 27. What can we infer from Sanders words? A. Children are delighted to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day. B. Adults feel it difficult to get together with their children. C. Children are still too young to understand the situation. D. It s tough helping children overcome their problems. C The world s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect, but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2, the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona. A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century. The study adds to a growing number of findings that are giving forest scientists something thats been in short supply lately: hope. Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive - and perhaps even prosper - in a hotter, more carbon-rich future. And while tropical forests still face both human and natural threats, some researchers believe terrible reports of their approaching decline due to climate change may have been overstated. “Biology is clever, says Scott Saleska, an ecologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and co-leader of the Biosphere 2 study. “It s a lot smarter than our models yet represent. ” The last few years have seen a flood of arming reports about forests and climate change s effects on them. Scientists have announced that the Amazon forest is no longer a reliable carbon sink; the Amazon rainforest may be nearing a tipping point; tropical forests globally are already close to the hottest temperatures they can tolerate and climate change is killing off old trees. One thing is certainly true: Our fossil fuel emissions are creating a climate that humans have never seen and trees haven t experienced in a very long time.“Were pushing tropical forests into temperatures theyve never seen since the Cretaceous 一 since there were dinosaurs, says Abigail Swann, an ecologist and climate scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle. 28. Where is the hottest rainforest located according to the article? A. In the Amazon tropical forest. B. In a research facility in Arizona. C. In the rainforest in Brazil. D. At the University of Arizona. 29. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A. Forest scientists still lack numbers of findings about rainforest. B. Plants may not survive in hot and carbon rich future than expected. C. Plants may survive in hotter and more carbon-rich environment. D. People may overstate the climate change in the future. 30. How will the fossil fuel emissions change the climate? A. We have never seen the climate change due to greenhouse. B. The fossil fuel emissions may destroy the whole ecosystem. C. The temperatures may reach as high as those in dinosaur period. D. The fossil fuel emissions may create a climate plants can t bear. 31. What may be the best title of the article? A. The world s hottest rainforest in the wild. B. Plants may die of fossil fuel emissions due to mankind. C. The Amazon forest is declining quickly in the future. D. Plants may stand hotter temperature than expected. D Zika virus. Malaria. West Nile virus. Dengue fever. Have you ever heard of these illnesses? If so, you . likely know what they all have in common. These are a few of the diseases spread by one of the greatest pests known to humankind - - the mosquito. Much of the time, mosquito bites are just itchy. Nothing ruins a backyard barbecue faster than a mass of these bloodsucking insects. However, some mosquitoes carry viruses that cause deadly illnesses. In fact, some experts say mosquitoes are a bigger threat to human life than any other organism. Over the centuries,mosquitoes are thought to have caused the deaths of 52 billion people. Thats half the people who have ever lived on Earth! Even today, illnesses spread by mosquitoes kill more people each year than war does. It should be no surprise that many people would like to get rid of mosquitoes. What if we could wipe out the entire mosquito population? No more malaria. No more Zika. No more itchy bumps after a summer day spent outdoors. Doesnt that sound great? Not so fast. Sure, some species of mosquitoes harm humans. But others dont pose any threat at all! In fact, some of these mosquitoes play important parts in their ecosystems. Let s look at a few ways. Many of our Wonder Friends already know that bees play an important part in pollination(授 粉). It turns out, mosquitoes do, too! Most mosquitoes actually drink nectar( 花蜜) instead of blood. When they do so, they help pollinate the plants they feed on. Its also important to remember that even mosquitoes are part of an ecosystem. Without them, the food chain would be disturbed. Adult mosquitoes are a food source for bats, birds, spiders, and small mammals. Without them, these animals would need to find something else to eat. Some experts even think mosquitoes could be used to help humans. 32. What do Zika virus, Malaria, West Nile virus, and Dengue fever have in common? A. They are all pests from the wild forest. B. They can not be cured by human beings. C. They can all be spread by mosquitoes. D. They are all caused by bacteria. 33. What does the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Kill something completely. B. Bring up in large numbers. C. Control something completely. D. Rely on something completely. 34. What is the author s attitude towards mosquitoes? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Objective. 35. What may the author continue to write about in the following? A. How mosquitoes are harmful to human beings. B. How mosquitoes are helpful to human beings. C. How mosquitoes cause various illness to mankind. D. How mosquitoes are eaten by small mammals. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 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佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know about the health benefits of swimming. It offers a great workout for the body - it builds endurance , muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. If you don t mind getting wet, it can be fun too. 36_ Well, many people are fond of it, based on evidence that it can actually be good for us. Cold-water swimming 一 sometimes called wild swimming 一 involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in gives a short sharp shock to the body,_37_ A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than that for your body and mind. As well as being good exercise,spending time outdoors and by water impr
