一、
Many rules govern drivers on American streets and highways. The most common ones are the speed limits( 限制).
The speed limits control how fast a car may go.
On streets in the city, the speed limit is usually 25 or 35 miles per hour.On the highways between cities, the speed
limit is usually 55 miles per hour. When people drive faster than the speedlimit, a policeman can stop them. The
policemen give them pieces of paper which people call traffic tickets. Traffic tickets tell the drivers how much money
they must pay. When drivers receive too many tickets, they cannot drive for a while.
The rush hour is when people are going to work or going home from work. At rush hour there are many cars on the
streets and traffic moves very slowly. Nearly all American cities have rush hours. Drivers do not get tickets very often
for speeding during the rush hours because they cannot drive fast.

As a young man, Tom was a famous artist with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son was ill. Tom and
his wife thought it was nothing serious. But the boy died suddenly that night.
After his son died, Tom always felt very sad. To make matters worse, his wife also left him later, leaving him alone
with his six-year-old younger son, Emie. Sadly, he turned to alcohol(酒) for help.
As time went by, Tom began to lose everything he had---his land, house, etc. A few months later, Tom passed away
alone in a small bar. Hearing of Tom's death, I thought,“What a complete failure!”
But later, I began to change my earlier opinion. I knew Tom's now adult son, Emie. He is one of the kindest, most
caring men. I saw the love between Emie and his children. And I thought that kindness and caring had to come from
somewhere.
One day, I asked him what made him become such a special person. Emie said quietly, “My father came into my room
every night, give me a kiss and said,“love you, son.”
Hearing his words, I understood everything. Tom didn't leave many things behind. But he had been a kind loving father,
and left behind his best love.

On April 5, Queen Elizabeth II gave a short but powerful speech to inspire( 激励）the British people. The UK, like
many countries around the world, has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Many people have to stay at home
and many businesses have been closed.
2
In her speech, the Queen thanked people of all walks of life for both following stay-at-home rules and making an
effort to help their neighbors. She also thanked the country’s medical workers as they continue to fight the virus.
The Queen talked about her first-ever radio broadcast-delivered in 1940-when she and her sister Margaret spoke to
children who had been evacuated (撤离）from their homes during World War II. Fearing that German bombing would
kill people in the cities, millions of children in England were sent to safer places in the countryside.
“Echoes(再现）of that struggle of the 1940s, which for so long defined(定义）Britain and its self-image, ran through
the broadcast,” the BBC said.
She ended the speech with a familiar phrase: “We will meet again.” It’s a reference(引用）to Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet
Again, a song that encouraged unity(团结) and optimism(乐观）among Britons during World War II. With her speech,
the Queen hoped to encourage national unity, according to the BBC.
( A ) 1. The UK is a country that has been seriously hit by coronavirus.
( A ) 2. In the Queen’s short speech on April 5, she showed her thanks to people of all walks of life including the
country’s medical workers for their continuous efforts in fighting the virus.
( B ) 4. For safety, many children in England were sent to the countryside during World War I.
解析：从原文 children who had been evacuated from their homes during World War II 得知，不是 World War I.
( A ) 5. The Queen’s first radio broadcast speech was made with her sister in 1940.
( B ) 6. The Queen ended the speech with a song called “We will meet again.”
解析：从原文 She ended the speech with a familiar phrase: “We will meet again.”得知她只是引用了一句歌词而不
是唱了这首歌作为结束
五、
As Earth becomes warmer, more extreme(极端的）weather and natural disasters are happening around the world.
They can cause harm to us in many ways.
This year’s Earth Day, which falls on April 22, again focuses on climate change. As it is being celebrated during
the COVID-19 pandemic, we might ask: how can climate change affect human health?
One result of climate change is an increase in heat-related illnesses. According to the US Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, heat waves(酷热）can cause dizziness(头晕), headaches or even heatstroke(中暑). Children
and the elderly have the highest risk of dying from heat. Last summer, more than 1,500 people died in France due to
high temperatures. In India, heat waves killed 1,300 people in 2010, 1,500 in 2013 and 2,500 in 2015, Scientific
