• 2．As a child，Jane Goodall had a natural love for the outdoors and animals.And at age 23，she left for Nairobi，Kenya.There，Jane met famed Dr.Louis Leakey，who offered her a job at the local natural history museum.She worked there for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees.He felt her strong interest in animals and nature，and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees.
     In December 1958，Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition（考察），securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds.In May 1960，Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.
     Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mojye.air.The early weeks at Gombe were challenging.Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work.Finally，an old chimpanzee named David Greybeard began to allow Jane to watch him.As a high-ranking male of the chimpanzee community，his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe.It was the first time that Jane had witnessed David Greybeard using tools.Excited，she telegraphed Dr.Leakey about her observation.He wrote back， "Now we must redefine 'tool' and 'man' or accept chimpanzees as humans."
     Jane continued to work in the field and，with Leakey's help，began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962.At the University of Cambridge，she found herself at odds with senior scientists over the methods she used-how she had named the chimpanzees rather than using the more common numbering system，and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities.She further upset those in power at the university when she wrote her first book，My Friends，the Wild Chimpanzees，aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience.The book was wildly popular，and her academic peers were outraged.Dr.Jane Goodall earned her Ph.D.jye.ai February 9，1966，and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years.

  （2）What does the underlined phrase "at odds" mean in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Agree.

  D．Coincide.
  （3）In the opinions of the academic peers，what was the value of Jane's first book？

  
  A．A new direction of knowledge.
  B．A common achievement.
  C．Worth farther discussion.
  D．Absolute nonsense.
  （4）What can we learn from Jane Goodall？

• 3．The beauty of the outdoors naturally encourages people to go outside.The drive toward the natural world is present in normal times.Now，as many people are locked indoors，spending hours in front of screens， the pull of watching wind blow branches of neighboring trees is hardly matched.Forest therapy is one way to satisfy the demand while improving personal health and well-being.
     Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku，or "forest bathing"，forest therapy is a guided outdoor practice，which encourages people to experience the pleasures of nature through all of their senses and be present in the body.
     Research on shinrin-yoku began in Japan in the 1980s when leaders there noticed a sharp rise in stress-related illnesses in the country，resulting from people spending more time working in technology and other industrial work.Specific settings were created to guide people in outdoor experiences.Research showed forest bathing may help reduce stress，improve attention，and lift moods.
     Stress raises levels of cortisol，which plays a role in high blood pressure，heart disease and headaches.In test subjects，levels of cortisol decreased after a walk in the forest.Trees give off oils called phytoncides that have special properties and may influence immunity（免疫力）.Exposure to natural tree oils helps lift depression，lower blood pressure.One study showed a rise in the number and activity of immune cells，which fight viruses and cancer，among people who spent three days and two nights in a forest compared with people taking an urban trip.This benefit lasted for more than a month after the forest trip!
     Don't worry if you don't have three days to spend in the forest.A recent study showed spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature improved self-reported health and well-being.It doesn't matter whether the 120 minutes represents one long trip，or several shorter visits to nature.So，even as we are honoring physical distancing，it's possible and essential to get outside for 20 minutes every day and enhance our well-being.
  
  （1）What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 imply？

  
  A．Interaction between neighbors is rare.
  B．The beauty of nature is often ignored.
  C．People's urge to be outside is stronger.
  D．Public physical condition is worsening.
  （2）Why did Japanese researchers start to study shinrin-yoku？

  
  A．To find a way to help people work out.
  B．To deal with a national health crisis.
  C．To provide an effective exercise guide.
  D．To get people away from technology.
  （3）What is paragraph 4 mainly about？

  
  A．What long-term stress could cause.
  B．How long people should stay in nature.
  C．How forest therapy affects the body.
  D．Whether exposure to forests is helpful.
  （4）What is suggested in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Limiting time spent outdoors properly.
  B．Spending at least 2 hours in nature a day.
  C．Making a plan to exercise every day.
  D．Keeping our connection with nature.

第二節(jié) （滿分25分）

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      On a beautiful Thursday of this April， Amy and Alan Green took their daughter Abbey out for a walk in the neighborhood. On their way back， Amy picked up a kite for Abbey from the Dollar Tree， blue with rainbows-there are a lot of rainbows decorating homes around the region these days， which helps make life less dull during the coronavirus pandemic.
      In the afternoon， Abbey took the kite out for its first flight. At first， the wind was perfect. It took the kite high in the sky. However， suddenly， the wind became much stronger and whipped the kite out of Abbey's hands in a moment. It sailed farther and farther and finally got stuck on the power lines next to a big tree， wrapping itself over and over again around the wires. Since the kite was too high for them to reach， the Greens could do nothing about it. Worried less about the kite than the potential danger it might present to the lines， Amy called National Grid to report the incident.
      About one hour later， Mike， a worker from the power company arrived. He carefully unwound the kite line from the wires. After about 10 minutes' effort， he successfully freed it. But unfortunately，as the kite was wrapped so tightly， there was some unpreventable damage. Still， he presented it at the door to Alan Green. As he left， he noticed Abbey took the kite to the backyard. Out of curiosity，he stood there for a while to see how the girl would deal with it. Surprisingly， she dug a hole and buried the kite in a shoebox! Even though he could not see the girl's face clearly， he knew exactly how sad Abbey could be. He really felt bad for her. And it was at that moment that he decided to do something.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。

      The next day， Alan went out to get the mail as usual.____________________
  Paragraph 2：
      Deeply moved by this act of kindness， Alan posted the whole story on the Internet._________________
