Allison Guallpa concentrates on following the video directions for an unusual painting at home — the eighth-grader must draw a face using fruits or vegetables.She chooses peaches for rosy cheeks and a banana for the mouth.
That's just one project Guallpa and other children are participating in during a 10-week，free，virtual art education series led by Marie Saint-Cyr，owner of Saint-Cyr Art Studio.Other challenges have included drawing a black-and-white still life of bottles，creating a watercolor landscape (風景) and copying works of artists like Van Gogh.
Saint-Cyr began the program during the summer of 2020 to give children an opportunity to express themselves and their feelings during dramatic changes in their lives because of COVID-19.Saint-Cyr，25，moved to Long Island at 8.The programs she attended after her arrival were free and influenced her so much that she wanted to create something alike for the next generation.
Parents first contact Saint-Cyr through her website，Saintcyrartstudio.com.Saint-Cyr works with program supporters who pay her and provide the supplies for the children，which parents can pick up or have delivered.Saint-Cyr then provides 30-minute videos through Google Classroom that walk students through creating their artwork projects.At 4 p．m.meetups Mondays through Thursdays，whoever can make it attends a Zoom meeting where children show off their works in progress，give each other feedback (反饋) and ask questions.They also do 5-to 10-minute small exercises to improve their skills.It might be “Find an object and draw it without lifting the pencil off the paper”．At the conclusion of the series，Saint-Cyr displays students' work in the “walk-through” virtual gallery online.It looks as if viewers are really walking through a museum display with all the kids' professional artwork hanging on the walls.
Instead of being bored，the students participating in the program have got something to do—create things，see all the students' works and get ideas.Saint-Cyr is considering bringing the program to nearby schools as an optional after-school activity.
【語篇解讀】　文章介紹了Saint-Cyr組織的一個為期10周的、免費的、虛擬的藝術教育項目，目的是幫助孩子通過藝術的形式表達自己的感受。

From composer，musician，and philanthropist(慈善家)Peter Buffett comes，a warm，wise，and inspirational，book that asks，“Which win you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest sailsfaction？”
You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege.But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents is a philosophy：Build your own path in life.It is a principle that has allowed him to follow his own passions，establish his own identity，and reap his own successes.
In Life Is What You Make It，Buffett expounds on(闡釋)the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother，his hardworking and talented father，and the many life teachers he has met along the way.
Today's society，Buffett assumes，has begun to replace a work ethic，enjoying what you do，with a wealth ethic，honoring the payoff instead of the process.We confuse privilege with material wealth, character with external validation(認可)．Yet，by focusing more on substance and less on reward，we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment.In clear and brief terms, Buffett reveals a great truth：Life is random，neither fair nor unfair.
From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life our circumstances may vary but our essence does not.We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts，crises，and mistakes.How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life Of our dreams—from discovering our vocations to giving back to others.
Personal and instructive，Life Is What You Make It is about challenging your circumstances，taking control of your destiny，and living your life to the fullest.
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇議論文。沃倫·巴菲特之子彼得·巴菲特通過自己的生活經歷探索人生的意義，打造自己的人生道路。這一人生哲學在他的著作《生活由你打造》中有著深刻的體現(xiàn)。

A．His father is very rich.
B．One of his hobbies is music.
C．He achieved success by himself.
D．He wrote the book Life Is What You Make It.

10．What is today's society like according to Peter Buffett?
A．People are following their interests.
B．People are seeking spiritual enjoyment.
C．People pay more attention to the process.

B．Life is full of ups and downs.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.

B　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)該段第二句“We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts，crises，and mistakes.”可知，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們的人生之旅很少遵循一條直線，但常會遇到錯誤的開始、危機和錯誤；又結合本段內容可推知，該段主要說明人生起伏無常，故B項正確。]
D
For children，communication with older adults is important when visits with grandparents are called off because of the pandemic(流行病)．
Even before COVID-19 sent older adults into hiding，grandparents and great-grandparents could often seem like strangers to kids.Contact might include gifts of toys meant for someone a little younger，forced piano performances by parents，and really bad jokes.So，coming up with what to say to those out-of-touch people through a camera can be hard.It can be a lot of pressure for kids.
Yet keeping up with older relatives has mental and physical health benefits for everyone.According to studies，older adults who participate in programming between generations show more happiness，better self-care.And a strong relationship between grandparents and grandchildren can lessen depressive tendencies(抑郁傾向) in both adults and kids.
Having an actual relationship with a grandparent can also help children develop qualities that make all-around great citizens.“Children are born to be me，me，me，” says Tina-Anne Praas of SKIP，an Ontario-based organization.“But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking．They can gain some worldly points of view.”
Being close with a grandparent can also help children develop communication skills，especially when they're able to learn about and compare their experiences with a grandparent's.And it doesn't carry the pressure of talking to a parent.
Tina-Anne Praas adds that students who were worried about life after graduation eagerly listen to older adults sharing their own experiences from the same time of life，50-plus years ago.One student says，“My interactions(互動) with my grandparents encouraged me to become a physician.”
【語篇解讀】　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，祖父母和孫輩之間的密切關系可以減緩成年人和孩子的抑郁傾向，有幫助培養(yǎng)孩子成為全面優(yōu)秀公民的素質、發(fā)展溝通技能等好處。
12．What causes much stress for kids?
A．Playing the piano in public.
B．Communicating with grandparents online.
C．Buying gifts for other younger children.
D．Being out of touch with parents for a long time.
B　[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“So，coming up with what to say to those out-of-touch people through a camera can be hard.It can be a lot of pressure for kids.(所以，想辦法通過攝像頭對那些不來往的人說些什么是很困難的。這對孩子們來說壓力很大。)”可知，與祖父母在線交流給孩子帶來了很大的壓力。故選B項。]
13．What does the underlined phrase “that thinking” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A．Seeing an experienced person.
B．Kids' own ideas about the world.
C．Children's care of themselves only.
D．Keeping contact with grandparents.
C　[詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中“‘Children are born to be me，me，me，’ says Tina-Anne Praas of SKIP，an Ontario-based organization.‘But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking.They can gain some worldly points of view.’”由孩子生來就是只在乎自己到這種想法發(fā)生了轉變，可知，畫線短語that thinking指的是“孩子們只會在乎自己”這種想法。故選C項。]
14．What is Tina-Anne Praas' attitude towards communication between generations?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Uncertain. D．Worried.
A　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“But seeing a person who has experienced life stages pulls them away from that thinking.They can gain some worldly points of view.”可知，Tina-Anne Praas認為，代際交流讓孩子只在乎自己的這種想法發(fā)生了轉變，由此可見，Tina-Anne Praas對代際交流是支持的態(tài)度。故選A項。]
15．Grandchildren benefit from older relatives by________．
A．listening to stories online
B．watching what they do daily
C．forming new ideas about themselves
D．communicating and interacting with them
D　[細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Tina-Anne Praas adds that students who were worried about life after graduation eagerly listen to older adults sharing their own experiences from the same time of life，50-plus years ago.One student says，‘My interactions with my grandparents encouraged me to become a physician.’”可知，孫輩通過與年長的親屬交流和互動而受益。故選D項。]
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
Do you sometimes hesitate(猶豫)before asking others for things? As the saying goes，“He who hesitates is lost.”Don't hesitate.You can't control how other people will act. 16 Here are four things you can do to get other people to say “yes”．
17 If you don't care about what the other party wants or needs，it is unlikely they will say “yes”．Most people are，as Wharton professor and organizational psychologist Adam Grant calls them，“matchmakers” —people who help if you help them.Few are “givers”—people who help without seeking anything in return.
Make the person feel comfortable.It is not so difficult to think about what the other person wants. 18 If you want them to feel comfortable，they need to trust you.If you want the other person to say “yes” to your request，think about the other person.
Be silent.Still，you can make the person feel briefly uncomfortable.You do not have to immediately respond.Pause.Be silent. 19 It can make the other person want to fill the emptiness，start talking and give in to what you want.
Let the person say “no” first. 20 Chris Voss argues that getting the other person to say “no” is a strategy for making the person feel comfortable.
A．Silence causes discomfort.
B．Be smart in how you sell your idea.
C．But it is very hard to get them to trust you.
D．Think about what the other person wants or needs.
E．They are more likely to say “yes” if you make it a win-win scene.
F．Sometimes，you need the other person to say “no” before they will say “yes”．
G．But you can control your actions in a way that can increase the chances of a favorable result.
【語篇解讀】　文章講述了如何讓別人答應你的要求的技巧。
16．G　[前文“You can't control how other people will act.”對應選項G中的control your actions，且和選項G構成轉折，對應選項G中的But。故選G。]
17．D　[后文“If you don't care about what the other party wants or needs，it is unlikely they will say ‘yes’．”中的care about與D項中的“think about”對應，D項中“wants or needs”與上文的“wants or needs”對應，所以選項D切合文意。故選D。]
18．C　[前文“It is not so difficult to think about what the other person wants.”對應選項C中的“it is very hard to get them to trust you”，并和選項C構成轉折關系，對應選項C中的But。所以選項C切合文意。故選C。]
19．A　[前文“Be silent”對應選項A中的Silence，后文“It can make the other person want to fill the emptiness，start talking and give in to what you want.”對應選項A中的discomfort。故選A。]
20．F　[前文“Let the person say ‘no’ first.”對應選項F中的“say ‘no’ ”，因此推斷F項切合文意。故選F。]

Ⅵ.概要寫作(滿分25分)
閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內容寫一篇60詞左右的內容概要。
Kuakuaqun，social media chat groups that people pay a little money to join and are paid to show kindness，support and comfort to others in the group，have become popular with young people.Users can now join a chat group on WeChat or QQ，where they are showered with praise and encouragement－for a price.On e-commerce sites like Taobao，membership in WeChat or QQ groups starts at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments(表揚)．Once you purchase a round of compliments on Taobao，the seller will contact you with an invitation to a group on WeChat.There，you will be praised from various people.
Zhang Youde is the Dean of the social management school at Shanghai University of political science and law.He thinks this phenomenon is a direct result of the information era when young people tend to express their personal feelings on the Internet to those they don't know.He also believes it has something to do with the traditional Chinese way of parenting that parents tend to withhold praises and encouragement.In China，when children do something wrong，parents usually criticize or even beat them because they think only in this way can children correct their improper behaviors.However，when children behave well，parents seldom praise them for fear that they may become too proud.
Deng Jianguo，associate professor of communication at Fudan University in Shanghai assumes the reason lies behind the high-stress work and study environment faced by young people.To some extent，he said，it creates a positive and friendly environment for people to create an outlet for stress relief.Just simple words of encouragement in their lives can help them struggle to see through another day.
But the experts warn participants to keep a clear understanding about themselves despite the compliments from the strangers.Otherwise，they will fall into confusion and get lost.Many people go through each day reacting to events and just getting by rather than making conscious choices based on who they are.Therefore，it's hard to set goals，get motivated and determine the best course of action.
