A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.
“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
“I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids, ” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch? ”
The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too? ”
Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic（家庭的）violence, posted Blake’s letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child’s wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10, 000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.

A. his dad was too strict with him B. he was forced to do all the chores C. he was ill-treated by his dad D. his dad didn’t buy him any gifts 22. What do we know about SafeHaven?

Since September about 11m hectares of Australia have been in flames. This year’s fires are the worst on record, with at least 26 people dead, about half-billion animals burned alive, and over 2300 homes destroyed. Australians of all species are suffering the most. But the fires have serious consequences for the rest of the world, too.
New Zealand, one of Australia’s closest neighbors, is feeling the effects of the bushfires. The most important effect of the fires might be on the country’s glaciers, about which Helen Clark, New Zealand’s former prime minister, tweeted: “Australian bushfires have created haze（烟雾）in New Zealand with particular impact on the South Island yesterday and now spreading more widely. Impact of ash on glaciers is likely to speed melting（融化）. ” Melting glaciers could open up a future none of us wants to suffer.
There’s no such thing as weather that happens in isolation. As a recent Forbes article reports, fires have the potential to not only block visibility（能见度）for airplanes, grounding them, but to
create pockets of hotter or colder air, or create situations where the weather is increasingly less stable（稳定的）— although no one is yet certain how far from the Australian continent those effects might wander, or how harmful they may prove to be.
In addition to coal, Australia also exports all kinds of agricultural products — like beef and wool — particularly to Asian countries including China and Japan. But what happens when the land it uses to grow all that food and fiber is destroyed by fire? Obviously, no more goods to export, which creates a huge problem in the international supply chain. Thanks to globalization, pretty much no country eats only the food it grows. What happens to the global food supply as agricultural land in Australia and other export nations burns to a crisp? 24. What can we learn about the Australian bushfires?
A. They’ve left most of Australian land in flames. B. They’ve speeded the melting of glaciers. C. They will certainly create hotter air.
D. No one is certain how harmful their effects will be on climate.
25. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the global food supply?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent. 26. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Effects of the Australian Bushfires on Climate Change B. Australian Bushfires: a Big Disaster to the Country
C. What the Australian Bushfires Mean for the Rest of the World? D. Why the Australian Bushfires Affect the Rest of the World?
C
Why is poverty so difficult to overcome? Why are poorer people less likely to spend money on their own learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?
Banerjee’s research has found that the poor often need to borrow short-term loans（贷款）Thus, the poor tend to take higher financial risks — they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get money to start a business from banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their savings against risks.
How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the extremely poor, it’s impossible to get help from banks to start a business. In most cases, a more practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term, to increase the “bandwidth（带宽）” of their thinking, and thus making it possible for families to move from poverty to the middle class.
What’s the role of government then? When the market can’t solve a problem, the government will solve it. And the problem behind the poor is actually the failure of the market. The poor often lack the necessary information to make the right choices and they often carry too much responsibility for their survival to make the best choices. In this sense, Banerjee’s research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that policies can be tailored to reduce poverty and eventually remove it.
27. What do the poor need to improve their ability according to Banerjee?
A. Ambition. B. Money.
C. Guidance. D. Patience. 28. What will probably cause the poor to face financial risks?
A. The high-interest loans. B. Their small incomes. C. The financial policies.
D. Their educational backgrounds.
29. What may be a right choice for the poor to get out of poverty?
A. Setting a high goal.
B. Working as civil servants. C. Opening their mind.
D. Seeking support from banks.
30. What can the government do to get rid of poverty?
A. Adjust the policy. B. Control the market. C. Do more research.
D. Offer enough information.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I dislike making school lunches. Each morning, I am in a hurry busy slicing cucumbers, washing berries, and filling water bottles, all the while feeling annoyed and even slightly angry. The lunches aren’t particularly challenging to prepare. My daughters are content with the food in their lunch box. 31 There’s no good reason for my annoyance.
And then one morning a thought suddenly came into my mind — I am so lucky.
Within seconds, those four words bloomed throughout my awareness. 32 I am so lucky to live in a home with electricity, running water, and a functional refrigerator. I am so lucky to live near a grocery store with a plentiful selection of fresh food and snacks and so lucky to have enough money to afford them. I am so lucky to have two daughters who are healthy enough to eat and digest the food I send with them.
I can’t tell you where this sudden burst of gratitude came from, but I do know this: that small shift immediately made my morning lunch routine extremely easier. Rather than feeling impatient and annoyed, I felt calm and pleased. Rather than mentally complaining through the whole morning, I was able to appreciate my situation. 33
I am so grateful for peanut butter. Thank goodness for this magical source of protein that my daughters will actually eat. And jelly, sweet, sweet, jelly. I can’t forget sliced bread — oh, the magic of sliced bread! Imagine if I had to cut those slices myself each morning. 34
Don’t get me wrong — I still don’t enjoy making lunches. 35 It gives me just enough space from my bad temper to choose a different response to whatever is going on.
A. Even so, I can’t stand it. B. What a mess that would be!
C. My husband also likes my breakfast.
D. All I could think about was how fortunate I am. E. I found the cure for my bad feelings that morning.
F. I am so lucky to have a job and to have so many good workmates.
G. But the process doesn’t feel like such a struggle when I remember to be grateful.

Flowers, vegetables — whatever he planted grew well. From early spring through late autumn, the backyard exploded with colors.
On the side of the yard grew two apple trees and a small pear tree. A high magnolia tree stood in the middle. Its shiny, dark green leaves and large pink flowers attracted the attention of all who saw it. Besides being beautiful, it was perfect for climbing, but I didn’t know how to climb it!
My granddaddy wanted to teach me. He really tried. But I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get back down, or that I would get stuck high up in the tree, so I didn’t want to try.
“What?” I ran across to the backyard to see a wonderful sight. “No pink magnolia flowers this year, \" he said sadly as he shook his head. “They’ll all turn brown and drop down. What a waste that will be. But this is the first year ever for our tree to bloom lollipops!”
He looked at me. “Do you think you could climb up the tree — just to the lowest branch — and gather one or two? Then throw them down to me. I would love a lollipop! ” 注意：
