14．Agree to Disagree I am old enough to remember running through the whipping rain to find a phone booth，only （1）
（get） cut off in the middle of the call because I ran out of change.I remember having posted hand-written letters home from overseas that would take two weeks to arrive.
In comparison，the world of social media is truly a miracle.Free of charge，you （2）contact anybody，anywhere，anytime.Social media enables us to debate with people the world over.And this is a good thing in some aspects.In the market-place of ideas，you get to try on other people's shoes and see （3）the world looks like from their perspective.In the 90s，experts predicted an end to historical conflict because people would become more open-minded and tolerant.But this is sadly not turning out to be the cjye.aie.As psychologist Johnathan Haidt said in his article "The Codding of the American Mind，" social media（4）（create） people who are addicted to conflict and is driving polarization（極端化）.
Because online disagreements are no longer being conducted between two people in an enclosed room，but are instead happening in a public space with thousands of onlookers，many debates have devolved into nothing more than a popularity contest—whoever walks away with the most "likes" （5）（crown） the winner.People often say things they don't believe in order to get more likes.（6）sugar—the more likes you get，the better you feel.
Meanwhile，social media algorithms （算法） reinforce an echo chamber （回音室）.By （7）（expose） you to articles and videos similar in opinion to those you've clicked on before，they lure you down the rabbit hole（8）the media you consume is reinforcing the opinions you already have.
Many of us have probably got（9）（stick） in a heated debate over some controversial topic.This may not matter much if the conflict occurs between strangers.But when it comes to close family or friends，the result can be unpleasant.Many people find it really hard to feel close to their friends （10）they have the same beliefs.
My advice here is to bear in mind the following：You are entitled to your opinion；I just happen to think otherwise.So let's agree to disagree.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5
Section B Directions：After reading the passage below， fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Books are essential in various ways that go beyond enriching your mind or entertaining you.They stimulate your senses and promote good （1）A.imagination B.physical C.existence D.mental
E.symphony F.challenge G.jye.aihealth.
While the internet and television are useful in their own ways，nothing can compare to a great book.Books inspire your （2），give you new ideas， （3）your way of thinking，provide solutions，and share （4）.At every stage of your （5），you can find a relevant book that will add value to your personal and professional life.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5

18．Sleep，considered a luxury（奢侈）by many，is essential for a person's wellbeing.Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions，such as obesity，diabetes（糖尿病），and cardiovascular（心血管的）diseases.Now，a new study by Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman，who led the research was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class.Instead，the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person's activity 24/7，would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However，the study，published in the journal "Science Learning" on October 1，2019，discovered a surprising insight.Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes，three midterms，and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting，it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.Instead，it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important.Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly，even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters.Grossman says.If you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours.So，quantity isn't everything."
（1）What is the new finding about sleep？
A．It's essential for a person's health.
B．Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C．Sleeping too much is dangerous.
D．Enough sleep leads to better grades.
（2）What does the underlined word "Fitbits" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Wearable devices.
B．Questionnaires.
C．Fitness equipment.
D．Smartphones.
（3）Which of the following best describes the final result the new study？
A．Doubtful.
B．Predictable.
C．Disappointing.
D．Unexpected.
（4）What will benefit students' study according to Grossman？
A．Sleeping for 5 hours each day.
B．Heading to bed at 3 a.m.jye.ai day.
C．Getting enough sleep while learning.
D．Going to bed early only before a test.組卷：6引用：3難度：0.5 -
19．In the city I live in，we have a small local national park full of trees.I like that place very much，although I do wish it was bigger.
One day，I was walking around in the park along a path （小路） when I saw a beautiful squirrel （松鼠） lying in the middle of the path.I stopped and found that there was something wrong with one of its legs.
Just at that time，a man with two little kids was behind me.They were my neighbors.They were going up the same path.I said hello to jye.aim.The dad asked me， "Why are you standing still here？" I said，"Look!Here is a beautiful squirrel，but...." Noticing the squirrel，one of the kids shouted， "Quickly dad，catch it for me.I want to put it in my birdcage." His brother nodded，asking their dad to catch the squirrel.
Then I stopped them."Please wait.Do you really want to catch it and put it into the birdcage？" My neighbor said， "Yes.I will catch it and take it home." I said angrily， "Animals are our friends and this is the last place in our city that the squirrel can live in.We must protect them.If we are kind to this tiny animal then we can start to be kind to bigger ones." My neighbor smiled and said，"You misunderstood me.I will take it home and cure （治療） it and when it is well，I will take it back to the park and set it free.Do you come long with me？"After hearing his words，I became happy.I followed him with the injured squirrel to his home.A few days later，when the squirrel was well，we took it back to the park and sent it free.

20．How to Raise a Child Who Loves Reading Give your kids good books to read.
By "good" I mean quality literature that makes kids think，not just entertains them.Some books can be fun.（1）Keep away from lightweight （內(nèi)容平庸的） books，because they may teach them to turn away from anything that makes their brains work too hard.A diet of lightweight books does not promote the patterns of thought that produce intellectual and personal excellence.
（2）Kids love listening to their parents read，even as they get older，so don't stop reading aloud to your children just because they can read on their own.This is a perfect opportunity to challenge their abilities，vocabulary and worldviews by reading books.
Remove distractions （使人分心的事物）.
With hand-held devices （3）Parents should have these devices powered down and phones put away，and ask them to pull out their books.Once kids finally get into their books，it creates the same quiet，peaceful atmosphere home.
Talk about books with your kids.
（4）Ask every family member，even the youngest，what they have read that day and what they've learned from it.This will arouse discussion and debate about the issues raised in the books.
Give our kids paper books，not e-books.
Studies have shown children keep information better when they read it on paper，as opposed to a screen，so avoid giving your child e-books to read.A paper book allows them to create a relationship with the book，to reread and to become familiar with a book's feel and smell.（5）
A．Read aloud to your kids.
B．Take chances to challenge your kids.
C．That's where parental responsibility comes in.
D．All these are very real parts of the reading experience.
E．Parents should inform their kids of the harmfulness of hand-held devices.
F．The dinner table is a great place to start reflective conversations about books.
G．But it's important to teach kids to appreciate books that may take effort to consume.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
IV. Summary Writing Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

21．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
Most people around the world are right-handed.This fact also seems to have held true throughout history.In 1977 scientists studied works of art made at various times in history.Most of the people shown in these works of art are right handed，so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common.But what do Leonardo da Vinci，Marie Curie，and Albert Einstein have in common？They were all left-handed along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William，and Barack Obama.In fact，an estimated 13 percent of the world's population may be left-handed.
Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics，such as blond hair，blue eyes，and sleep difficulties.Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations（職業(yè)），including professional baseball players，architects，as well as prisoners.However，some of these connections are very weak，and others have not been proven.
What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed？One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents.Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5-percent chance of having a left-handed child，while two left-handed parents have a 26-percent chance of having a left-handed child.Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth，which makes them left-handed.
Whatever the reasons behind it，people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years.Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people are left-handed，only six percent of the elderly are jye.ai-handed.Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children，but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal For most people today，either case is perfectly acceptable.There are even a number of shops now selling products for left-handed people，such as left-handed can openers，guitars，and even a left-handed camera.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.3
