Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水疱) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had been to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. The reporter interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, he interviewed us, and we explained to him what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4What seemed to be the TV directors initial reaction to the garden?AThey were excited. BThey were surprised.CThey were worried. DThey were uninterested.5What is special about the garden?AWeeds were allowed to spread naturally.BThe grass grew faster than common grass.CThe seeds came from the plants of a prairie.DUnderground water was used for the plants.6What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?AWe got blisters on our hands. BOur hard work was worthwhile.CThe garden would be famous. DThe project would be finished.7How did the author feel about the project?AAnnoyed. BCurious.CProud. DRegreful.C2020广东省高三六校第一次联考 My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasnt there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.I had an English teacher, Mr.Creech, who knew I couldnt read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldnt happen again. Later that day, Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you？” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me，” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy hed once encouraged.“Im so glad I had a chance to see you，” I said. “And Mr.Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasnt all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well，” I added. The experts say what once worried me has a name：dyslexia(诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.8Why did the author want to hide?ABecause he felt sorry for himself. BBecause he hated being laughed at.CBecause he couldnt read at all. DBecause he didnt have a ticket.9Which of the following could best describe Mr.Creech?AConsiderate and dutiful. BDemanding and enthusiastic.CEmotional and dedicated. DFriendly and ambitious.10Why couldnt the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?ABecause his reading age was not long enough.BBecause his parents didnt teach him how to read.CBecause he was afraid of reading before the class.DBecause he didnt have inner driving force to learn to read.11What can we infer from the passage?AMr.Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.BThe author had become a published author and an active speaker.CDyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.DThe author was grateful to Mr.Creech.D2020重庆市七校联考 Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when youre in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UKs largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centres management team said：“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasnt surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.12The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who _.Acant move quickly because of physical disabilitiesBbuy things on their shopping lists quicklyCtake their time to do window shoppingDwant to leave the mall quickly13What is Gary Mortimers attitude to the fast lane?ASupportive. BIndifferent. CCritical. DObjective.14Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?ASkaters. BDodgers. CBulldozers. DTutters.15What is the main idea of the text?AShopping can be annoying sometimes.BHow to avoid slow walkers when shopping.CThe problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.DThe shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Hotel Wake up Call Gets PersonalHeres a wakeup call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. Theyll send an actual human being to your room. Dont worry. They wont come in and give you a good morning kiss. _16_Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with builtin alarm clocks. _17_ Here are some examples. At Wolcott Hotel, if a wakeup call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. _18_Hotels have always taken the wakeup call seriously. _19_ If you dont get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you wont have to pay for your room.

A study of 285 guests at Crowne Plaza found that 53% considered a wakeup call very important._20_ In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all youd get was a ring and silence.

And more hotels will go back to the old inperson system of wakeup calls.ABut they might bring you coffee.BIf you dont answer, youll get a wakeup knock.CCrowne Plaza, for instance, has a wakeup call guarantee.DBut the wakeup call became less personal over the years.EThe hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wakeup calls each day.FThe human wakeup call is a way to personalize a guests stay.GSome guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。This is really simple but I was caught off guard (措手不及).
