二、阅读理解
16. I'm a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe.
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted (中断)by a stranger, who politely asked permission(容许)to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial (有争议的)TV show, when I'm out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, "I'm James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who's very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I'm poor, so can you please help me "
Speechless, I stared at the man's eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, "What's wrong with you Your face changed." I told him. JoJo was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations.
All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
"Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I'll pay all expenses for his sick daughter's treatment," JoJo said, with a check in his hand. "I've been married for 35 years. I wasn't lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now." I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James' daughter is well and living a normal life. JoJo often visits her. I'm so happy that there are so many good people on earth.

17. I was deeply moved by the kindness of an elderly flower seller at Sydney's Central Station one evening.
I was feeling as cold as the winter winds quickening the steps of the people who buried chins (下巴) in scarves and hands deep into coat pockets. In many ways, 2020 had proven an arduous year. My teenage daughter had left home for university, my job of 23 years was no more, and a creative project I'd given my all to for years had also been suddenly called off. I also found out a person I considered a friend was far from it.
A year earlier, I'd dreamt about an earthquake. In the dream, a red light flashed inside a building and then the earth began to rock. Walls fell down on me as I ran into the open, feeling sorry for the people I hadn't loved enough. Before I was buried completely by the falling world, I shouted, "Abuelo, ayudame," in my native Spanish. "Grandfather, help me!"
Now, with the very real aftershocks of a series of unexpected endings, I walked into a little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend. The gentleman at the shop looked at me and turned away for a moment, returning with a fragrant flower. "For you. You need to smile today," he said in a rich and beautiful accent, offering me the flower with eyes full of care. It took all my strength not to cry. Then he gave me a grandfatherly hug that made me want to tell him everything.
Instead, I thanked him and headed for the train. How did he know I wondered. For the first time in weeks, I felt hope.

B.Because the gentleman gave the author a grandfatherly hug.
C.Because the gentleman at the shop sent him a fragrant flower.
D.Because the gentleman said some words in a rich and beautiful accent.
答案以及解析
1.答案：can
解析：考查倒装句式。句意：他不仅会弹钢琴，而且小提琴拉得也很好。分析句意可知，用情态动词can表示“会”弹钢琴，符合语境；再分析句式结构可知，此处是not only...but also引起的部分倒装，所以应该将情态动词can放到主语he的前面构成部分倒装。故填can。
2.答案：intention
3.答案：make difference
4.答案：can’t(couldn’t) wait to look/can(could) hardly wait to look
5.答案：survive
解析：考查动词，句意：这些植物不能在非常寒冷的条件下活下去。根据汉语提示“活下去”可知，空格处涉及单词“survive”，意为“活下去，存活”，动词词性，“cannot”为情态动词“can”的否定形式，后接动词原形，故空格处应用“survive”的原形。故填survive。
6.答案：hold your head up
解析：本题主要考查动词短语。句意：如果你知道你已经尽力了，你要自信起来。hold one's head up 意为“昂首，不垂头丧气”；主语是you，应用形容词性物主代词 your。故正确答案为hold;your;head;up。
7.答案：recommend
解析：考查动词。句意：你能给我们推荐几家餐厅吗？分析句子，设空处置于could之后应该使用动词作谓语。表示“推荐”用recommend。故填recommend。
8.答案：obligation
9.答案：patience
10.答案：sequence
11.答案：indicates
12.答案：ignored
13.答案：duty
14.答案：opera
15.答案：postponed
16.答案：(1)-(4)CDCB
解析：(1).细节理解题。由第一段中的“ On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business.”可知,作者到达海滩时,偶遇了富商JoJo。
(2).推理判断题。由第六段中的“ Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.”可知,实际上,JoJo忙于他的酒店生意,作者从没想到他有时间来办公室拜访他。所以作者认为JoJo来到他的办公室令他很惊讶。
(3).推理判断题。由第七段中的“ I've been married for 35 years. I wasn't lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.”可知,JoJo结婚已经35年了,还没有孩子。他很想帮助这个孩子。所以通过JoJo所说的话我们可以判断出, JoJo之所以下决心帮助 James是出于对孩子的爱。
(4).主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者是一名电视节目主持人,与孩子在海边吃饭时偶遇富商JoJo,交谈之时,被一个陌生人打断了他们的谈话。这个陌生人向作者寻求帮助,他的女儿患上了重病,急需钱去海外救治。作者将这件事告诉了JoJo。在一个周一的早上,JoJo找到作者,希望可以联系那个陌生人,因为JoJo愿意帮助这个陌生人。现在这个女孩过上了正常人的生活,JoJo经常去看望她。所以这篇短文的主旨是到处都是善良的人。
17.答案：1-4.CADA
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了悉尼中央车站一个卖花老人的善良深深地打动了心情低落的作者。
1.词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“My teenage daughter had left home for university ... I also I considered a friend from it.”可知,在这一年里,作者的女儿离开家去上大学了,干了23年的工作也没了,多年来全身心投入的一个创意项目也突然被取消了,这些都表明2020年对作者来说是极其艰难的一年。由此可知,画线词的词义为“艰难的”。故选C。
2.段落大意题。根据第三段内容,特别是“A year earlier, I'd dreamt about an earthquake.”可知,本段详细介绍了作者一年前做的一个梦。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I walked into little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend.”可知,作者走进花店是想给朋友买花作为礼物。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“… returning with a fragrant flower. 'For you. You need to smile today,' he said in a rich and beautiful accent, offering me the flower with eyes full of care. ”可知,卖花的人送给作者一束花并告诉他应该微笑,眼里满是关心。由此可知,作者最后感受到了希望是因为卖花的人对他的关心。故选A。
