When my barber for more than 45 years Dominick, retired earlier this year, I was in a fix. I can' t drive, and only one other barbershop was walkable from my house in Freeport. Dominick represented more than a good haircut. For me, he was a moving landmark and a long tradition. He always asked about my boys, now 44 and 49, and admired our family hair.
I’d walk by his empty shop on Grand Avenue in Baldwin hoping another barber would move in. However, the one other shop in the same area available to me was small, 1ike Dominick's, but uninviting, often empty, with no elderly men or mothers with kids. Dominick’s was a one-man operation and often had customers waiting.
But my luck changed -- I thought. There appeared a barber pole above Dominick' s! Red white and blue! A bright sign said BARBER. Open for business! But a large notice in the window displayed the barber' s name - Alicia Zayala. A woman.
My heart sank. As a man, I didn’t want chemical hair treatment. I wanted a haircut! Going to a female barber wasn't my cup of tea. I believe in the equality of the two genders(性别) and I respect women. But I didn’t feel comfortable with a female hairdresser.
So I chose the male barber with empty chairs in Baldwin. He was young and confident. With big movements, he cut my hair. I felt like grass under a lawnmower (割草机). It was my quickest haircut since 1952. I wasn't bad; he had made the cut. But he wasn’t my old barber.
When my hair once again grew over my hearing aid, I wondered whether I should try the lady barber. Why not? My hair would grow back. The new barber was middle aged, silent at first but outgoing. Small talk to break the ice turned into a chat. Alicia was pleasant. She had Dominick’s concentration that I had taken for granted. I coughed. She rushed to get me a hard candy. It was the longest hair cut I’d ever had, but she matched Dominick's care and skill. I was very pleased.
4.How did the author feel after Dominick's retirement announcement?
A.A bit worried B.Quite angry. C.Really relieved. D.Deeply hurt
5.Why did the Author choose the young barber at first?
A.The barber had a big barber shop.
B.The barber was known for his quick haircuts.
C.The author was used to being served by male barber.
D.The author liked chatting with the barber’s elderly customer.
6.What does the author's story tell us?
A.Don't beat around the bush. B.Think twice before you act.
C.Never judge a book by its cover. D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
C
Amazon has announced that it has added features to its Alexa voice assistant that can help users determine their risk level for having got the COVID-19 coronavirus(新型冠状病毒). As of now all Alexa users in the United States can ask Alexa questions like, "Alexa, what do I do if I think I have COVID-19?" or "Alexa, what do I do if I think I have coronavirus?" upon which Alexa will begin triaging(检验分类) them.
Once one of the above questions is asked, Alexa will ask the user about their symptoms, travel history, and any possible exposure they may have had to someone infected with the disease. Depending upon the user's response, Alexa will offer the user guidance that comes directly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about what they should do next.
Another cool feature added to Alexa is the ability to ask the personal assistant to sing a song for 20 seconds while you wash your hands. Twenty seconds is the minimum washing time with soap and water people need to perform on their hands in order to destroy traces of the virus they may have picked up.
Users can take advantage of Alexa's new COVID-19 features on any device Alexa runs on, including smartphones, tablets, Kindles, and more. It should also be noted that Amazon isn't the first to empower its voice assistant to offer CDC COVID-19 information. Earlier this week Apple pushed an update out to Siri that allows users to ask, "Hey Siri, do I have the coronavirus?" and get advice based on CDC information.
7.What is Alexa?
A.It is a robot. B.It is a voice assistant.
C.It is a doctor. D.It is a computer.
8.How does AlexA help people clean their hands thoroughly?
A.It sings a 20-second song while people wash their hands.
B.It can remind you of washing your hands frequently.
C.It can turn on the tap for you when you wash your hands.
D.It can answer questions about washing hands.
9.From the passage, which statement is right?
A.Amazon is the first to empower its voice assistant to offer CDC COVID-19 information.
B.Alexa can only be used at home.
C.Both Alexa and Siri can offer you CDC COVID-19 formation.
D.People like Alexa better than Siri.
10.What can we infer about Alexa according to the passage?
A.Alexa will offer the user treatments directly from their doctors
B.Alexa makes the judgment by having a medical examination on the user.
C.Once the user uses Alexa, they will be told whether they are infected.
D.Not all the possible exposures to someone infected with the disease will bring the user the disease.

How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing the important information. But do not overdo it. 11.__________An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.),then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 12.__________.
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breathes to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. 13._________It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to solve, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
14. __________ If you do need something else focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted (分神).
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 15.__________
A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people’s anxiety can be contagious(会传染的),and you may suffer from unexpected panic.
B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn’t understand.
D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
F. Go and have a good rest, then prepare for your next exam
G. Underestimate the test in your mind.

It wasn’t until I met him that I was determined to be happy on my own and things began to 28 . He pointed out my 29 personalities and excellent qualities and made me repeat them out loud. I laughed at first because it felt 30 , but I kept at it every day.
Then, one day, a(n) 31 thing happened. Staring into the mirror, I realized with a(n) 32 that I believed it! He wasn’t 33 and it was true - I’m beautiful! The layers of my cocoon suddenly disappeared.

Part 2 第47题 读后续写(25’)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave? It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From them on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.
