Sam Martin, 24, from Belfast
I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly. I certainly don't enjoy shopping. It doesn't matter when I shop-I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway. I just choose from whatever is there. I am never disappointed because I don't know what to buy for others before I get to the shop, and I don't care about getting it at the best price. My friends call me last-minute shopper.
I live on a tight budget and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month's pay. So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.

Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, Hans Christian Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitious(迷信的)and unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of the directors helped him by arranging his education.Andersen gained admission to the University of Copenhagen in 1828, and his literary career began soon afterwards. He hoped to achieve success with poems and plays, but underestimated the kind of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he write down the stories he invented.Many of Andersen’s t ales are based on folklore, and many are products of his own imagination. All of them are told in a humorous and informal style that children loved from the start. Few serious critics, however, took notice of them when they first appeared.Before his death in 1875, Andersen regularly traveled around Europe, and was enthusiastically welcomed everywhere he went. Because he had always wanted to be famous, he worked hard to gain a reputation in European literary circles. Being a rather vain man, he complained i n ”The Fairy Tale of My Life“, one of three autobiographies he wrote, that people were not interested in his “serious” writing.Nowadays, of course, Hans Christian Andersen is a household name. Whether he would have liked it or not, millions of children and adults will always be grateful for the magic his stories have brought to their lives.1. Why did Andersen decide to write down the stories he invented?A．Because he liked his stories.B．Because he liked children very much.C．Because people were fond of his ”serious“ writing.D．Because he was suggested to do so by one of his friends.2. What does the underlined word “underestimated” probably mean in paragraph 3?A．Supported. B．Understood.C．Undervalued. D．Reviewed.3. According to this passage, which of the following words can describe Andersen better?A．Intelligent and honest.B．Creative and determined.C．Aggressive and curious.D．Generous and outgoing.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Andersen is also a magician.B．Andersen is still famous now.C．Andersen didn’t like his name.D．Andersen gave lives to many children and adults.3. When my two boys have free time, they want to go to the mall. No, they aren’t shop-a-holics (购物狂). They want to go to gaze at sneakers.These aren’t the sneakers you find in Foot Locker. They are limited editions—usually Nikes—that range in price from $250-$900 or more. There’s the Chunky Dunkys, a collaboration between Nike and ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s. And the Space Jam Jordans. And doz ens of other pairs of shoes, all of which they know by name and all of which are very, very expensive.That made me wonder: How did this sneaker culture develop? After all, when I was a kid, I wanted Jordan brand shoes too. But they cost $100 and I would wear them until they fell apart. Now, my boys long for shoes that cost ten times that and if they got them, they would never even think of scuffing them up by wearing them.It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when the very wealthy began to find they had leisure time on their hands, Elizabeth Semmelhack, who runs the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, told me.“These’ nouveau riche (暴发户)’ industrialists wanted to show that they had arrived. And so, the ancient game of tennis was revived.” explained Semmelhack, “But the problem with lawn tennis—one, the lawns of lawn tennis are extremely expensive, so they didn’t want people to run around in leather shoes. And two, when you play on lawn, you can get your feet wet. So rubber soled shoes, the sneaker, was invented as something that the wealthy could wear as they pursued these wealthy pleasures. Besides, rubber was, at the time, quite expensive, so having shoes with rubber soles was seen as a status symbol.”But for most of us, sneakers were something you wore—not something you collected. With the development of internet, older versions of shoes could be purchased and collected. And sneaker companies, Nike especially, leaned into the trend.1. What is the Chunky Dunkys?A．It’s a company’s name.B．It’s a kind of ice cream.C．It’s a kind of limited edition sneaker.D．It’s one of the author’s kids’ name.2. Why did the author mention his experience as a kid?A．To show he was poor when he was a kid.B．To encourage his children to wear cheap shoes.C．To give an example about the development of sneaker culture.D．To show Jordan brand shoes have been popular for a long time.3. What can we know from Semmelhack’s words?A．Rubber soled shoes could prevent feet from wetting.B．These ‘nouveau riche’ industrialists created lawn tennis.C．Leather shoes were more expensive than rubber soled shoes.D．The very wealthy were busy with their work during Industrial Revolution.4. What does the author’s attitude towards collecting sneakers?A．Objective. B．Critical.C．Favourable. D．Unconcerned.4. Pests destroy up to 40% of the world’s crops each year, causing $220 billion in economic losses, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Trapview is using the power of AI to help deal with the problem.The Slovenian company has developed a device that traps and identifies pests, and acts as an advance warning system by predicting how they will spread.”We’ve built the biggest database of pictures of insects in the world, which allows us to real ly use modern AI-based computing vision in the most proper way.” says Matej Štefančič, CEO of Trapview and parent company EFOS.As climate change causes species to spread, and disturbs the migration patterns of highly destructive pests, such as desert locusts (蝗虫), Štefančič hopes to help farmers save their crops with quicker, smarter interventions.Trapview’s devices use chemicals to attract pests, which are photographed by a camera inside. AI cross-references the images against Trapview’s database, and is able to identify over 60 species, such as the cotton bollworm (棉铃虫), which can damage lettuce and tomatoes. Once identified, thesystem incorporates location and weather data, maps out the likely impact of the insect and sends the findings to farmers via an app.Trapview’s app is also able to calculate where and when best to use pesticides (杀虫剂). Štefančič says that Trapview can significantly reduce the use of chemical sprays and the need for farmers to visit their fields. By reducing the emissions generated by farmers driving to their fields, and those associated with the production and transportation of pesticides, the technology can also help the climate, he claims.Trapview says it has sold over 7, 500 devices in more than 50 countries since it launched in 2012. It has focused on Italy, France, Spain, the United States and Brazil, targeting crops as varied as grapes, tomatoes, olives, tree fruits and cotton.1. What can we know about Trapview’s devices?A．They can trap and identify pests.B．They can cause species to spread.C．They are just an advance warning system.D．They are used only in the United States and Brazil.2. What is causing the desert locusts’ migration patterns disturbed?A．The lack of crops.B．The use of pesticides.C．The climate change.D．The smart invention.3. In which way can Trapview’s devices help the climate?A．By using a lot of pesticides.B．By calculating the number of pests.C．By collecting images and identifying species.D．By reducing the emissions of the production and transportation of pesticides.4. What’s the best title for the text?A．How Pests Destroy the World’s CropsB．How to Operate the AI-powered Insect TrapC．How to Use Pesticides and Other Chemicals ProperlyD．How an AI-powered Insect Trap Solves a $220 Billion Pest Problem5. Holidays and stress seem to go hand in hand. To cope, many people often steal hours from their sleep to pack in all the cooking, shopping, parties and family time. 1 . Try these sleep expert tips to prevent from ruining slumber during the holidays.Be careful with excess food2 . However, Eating smaller portions and taking breaks to check in with your body on how full you are can help. This seems cruel especially when a delicious meal is right in front of you, but this tip can help reduce your feelings of sleepiness. Besides, try replacing the sugary and fatty foods on your holiday plate with more unprocessed, fiber-rich foods.3Many people look forward to that holiday nap, and often point to the turkey as the cause. In fact, you’d have to eat about 8 pounds for turkey to have an effect. Instead, it’s the rich, processed foods, such as candied sweet potatoes or pecan pie, that are making you feel tired 4 .Watch for depressionIf you suffer from anxiety, depression or seasonal affective disorder (a condition that causes sadness when there’s less daylight), watching your sleep is key. Depression and sleep are linked. 5 Calming strategies can include a relaxing transition before going to sleep in which you could take a bath, meditate or listen to soothing music.6.

He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.4. What is Tribewanted?A．A voting software. B．An island adventure project.C．An employment plan. D．An eco-community in virtual and realworlds.5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”?A．passed on. B．came into being.C．got involved. D．struggled to survive.6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City?A．To seek funds for his Tribewanted .B．To call for investment in remote islands.C．To support people to launch influential businesses.D．To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.7. In which column can you read this text?A．Inspiring people. B．Connected lives.C．Inventive solutions. D．Global business.About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much th ought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats?A．Her passion for cooking. B．Her boredom with online ordering.C．Her preference for another app. D．Her concern for its negative impacts.9. What does the author think of cooking?A．Addictive and money-saving. B．Cheap and convenient.C．Time-consuming but rewarding. D．Motivating but stressful.10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.B．Adapting to life free of delivery apps.C．Getting into a healthy eating habit.D．Rediscovering the fun of cooking.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．My Order Never ArrivedB．Why Uber Eats Gets Less ActiveC．What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer MeD．The Convenience Was Not Worth The CostAccording to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessit y for a life full of deep satisfaction.12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?A．The opinion of U.S. adults about art.B．The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.C．The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.D．The connection between everyday experiences and art.13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion?A．Art reveals the nature of life. B．Art gives way to material pursuits.C．Life without art is meaningless. D．Background music is a kind of art.14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?A．Art awakes people’s talents.B．Art improves physical health.C．Art brings us closer to nature. D．Art makes life fuller and happier.15. What might be the best title?A．Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B．Art: A Bridge, Not a BarrierC．Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D．Art: A Pleasure, Not a BurdenCrab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 16 However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.With no one there to ge t them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 17 ”Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 18 In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.19 Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ 20 There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to_______,” she said. “They sort of became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad was diagnosed with cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger _______ and she started thinking about kids in _______ situations.When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to _______ others. “The idea came from just great thankfulness that the doctors were able to perform such a(n) _______,” she says. “But also a little _______ that there were kids who were fighting the same battle.”Emily started a book drive (书籍捐赠活动) in her hometown. The goal was to _______ books and give them to _______ being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.Emily had no idea how much _______ her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to ________. “I was expecting maybe two or three ________from neighbors,” she says. “But it ended up ________,” especially when news stations began reporting it.

But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part?For early men, there were dangerous all around them—bad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in man’s ability to r emember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized (文明). Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, it’s likely that you’ll remember your stay quite clearly.Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation (巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells (神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links (联系) in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory.36. According to the author, without the developm ent of man’s memory there wouldbe .A. no modern worldB. no recorded historyC. no animalsD. no dangers37. Scientis ts’ knowledge about the function of brain is .A. interestingB. not enoughC. greatD. encouraging38. Short-term memory can change into long-term memory on conditionthat .A. memory is goodB. it acts like a computerC. people do more exerciseD. the links in nerve cells are strengthened by certain changes39. So far the great discovery scientists have made about the function of brainis .A. the weight of brainB. two types of memoryC. 30 billion nerve cellsD. chemical and physical changes(B)A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a“blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or perso nal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service weblogs. com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going st rong is called Rebecca’s Pocket.Rebecca Blood created the Website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Bloo d says Rebecca’s Pocket get s about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts.40. The text is mainly written to .A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”B. introduce a short way of saying Web logC. tell reader’s about blogsD. tell readers how to write blogs41. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except .A. different ideasB. medical adviceC. advertisementsD. account passwords42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A. Politicians don’t use blogs at al lB. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogsC. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.D. Dave Winer closed his “” because of money shortage.43. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that.A. it was created by a woman.B. it is about the history of blogs.C. it provides useful information and adviceD. it has editions in at least four different languages(C)Jersey City, New Jersey, Nov.10An underworld leader Gelato and three bodyguards were gunned down on Thursday by unknown attackers after a short gun battle.Gelato and two of the bodyguards died immediately, the police said, while the third bodyguard remains in serious condition at Margaret Haig Hospital.The only eyewitness told the police the three or four gunmen were dressed in overalls and hard hats like building workers. One pulled a light machine gun out of a bag and sprayed the four with bullets, the witness said. The other gunmen fired handguns.Three of the men fell immediately, but one of the bodyguards managed to pull his handgun and returned the fire before being shot himself, the witness said.The gunmen then jumped into a black car and drove off. Police said the car was later found in Stegmen Street.Police sources said the 48-year-old Gelato was the leader of a new crime syndicate (犯罪团伙), challenging the city gangsters (暴徒) for control of the city. The city gangsters decided to get rid of him. Killers were brought in from outside the state to do the job.Police are now waiting to question the surviving bodyguard when he came back to life.Gelato had a long police record with his first arrest when he was 14 years old. He served a total of 17 years in prison for different crimes, from illegal possession of guns to armed robbery.44. Altogether, ____ were killed in the gun battle.A. three people, Gelato and two gunmenB. three people, Gelato and his two bodyguards.C. four people, Gelato and three gunmenD. four people, Gelato and his three bodyguards45. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Nobody knew exactly how many people took part in the murder.B. Many people saw the gun battle when it beganC. The gun battle lasted for quite a long timeD. The bodyguards didn’t have any reaction before they were shot down.46. The reason why they killed Gelato was that ____.A. he served so many years in prison for different crimesB. he would be arrested again by the policeC. he had killed some of the city gangstersD. he wanted to control the city against the city gangsters47. Why didn’t they take the job of murder themselves, but brought killers from otherstates?A. They were afraid of Gelato and his men.B. They didn’t have the proper opportunity.C. They didn’t want themselves to get into trouble.D. They never killed any men themselves.(D)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to w alk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle….They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake or correct it. Let him work out with the help of other children. If it is a matter of right answer in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine (日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they do not know.48. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_____.A. listening to skilled people’s advice.B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do49. According to the writer, teachers in school should _____ .A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge50. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are____.A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills51. The title of this passage could probably be_____ .A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn by ThemselvesE根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

Dmitry Doronin, a doctoral student from Russia, is keen (热衷的) to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August, the 32-year-old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang villa ge, Lishui city. “The rice is grown in the fields together with fish, which helps to increase local agricultural (农业的) products,” said Dmitry, while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. Besides filming videos, Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields, doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.Living in a village provides him with unique experiences, he says, quite different from busy life in big cities, such as Shanghai, where he studies. And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well. Villager Bao Mingyue, 76, says, “To our surprise, the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields.”Because of the outbreak of COVID-19, the sales of local agricultural products had dropped rapidly, so Dmitry volunteered to help sell the products in his videos. In a few months, 10, 000 kilograms of oranges, 4, 000 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and 300 kilograms of honey had been sold. “Thanks to his videos, it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village,” says 72-year-old Pan Xianyu, who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown. Dmitry loves his country life. “In the countryside, you ca n immerse (沉浸) yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better,” he says.According to Dmitry, some Russians’ opinions about China are still out of date, although China has progressed greatly. “I would like to become a people-to-people envoy (使者) of friendship between the two countries by using the Internet,” he says.1. It can be learnt from the passage that Dmitry .A．is good at doing farm work B．sells farmers’ products in RussiaC．gets much attention on the Internet D．has lived in the countryside for years2. The underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 3 probably means “”.A．common B．special C．similar D．hard3. The purpose of Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 is to .A．show Dmitry’s influence on Hengzhang villageB．explain why the sales of sweet potatoes droppedC．make more tourists interested in Hengzhang villageD．advise people to buy the products of Hengzhang village4. Dmitry hopes to help Russians to .A．improve their lives more quickly B．make rapid progress in farmingC．study Chinese traditional way of life D．have a better understanding of China3. In a study involving sweat samples from 335 people, trained dogs sniffed out 97 percent of the coronavirus cases that had been identified by PCR tests and all 31 COVID-19 cases among 192 people who didn’t have symptoms, researchers reported.These findings are evidence that dogs could be effective for mass screening efforts at places such as airports or concerts and may provide friendly alternatives for testing people who fear the tests, says Dominique Grandjean in France.Dogs’ noses also identified more COVID-19 cases than did antigen (抗原) tests, but sometimes mistook another virus for the coronavirus, Grandjean and colleagues found. What’s more, evidence suggests the dogs can pick up cases 48 hours before people test positive by PCR.In the study, dogs were trained in coronavirus detection by rewarding them with toys—usually tennis balls. “It’s playtime for them,” Grandjean says. It takes about three to six weeks, dependi ng on the dog’s experience with odor detection, to train a dog to pick out COVID-19 cases from sweat samples. For detection, the dogs sniffed used face masks or housing sweat samples collected from human volunteers’ underarms. Results showed that dogs perf orm as well as or even better than PCR tests for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19, Furton says. He and colleagues have used dogsat schools, a music festival and in a small trial screening airline employees for coronavirus infections.One of the bi ggest advantages dogs have over other tests is their speed, Furton says. “Even with what we call a rapid test, you’re still going to have to wait tens of minutes or even hours, where the dog in a matter of seconds can make a response.” However, dogs take t ime to train and there currently aren’t even enough dogs trained to detect explosives, let alone diseases, Otto says. Another drawback is that people don’t think of them as high-tech, though they’re one of the highest-tech devices we have.1. What can we learn about the study from the first paragraph?A．Dogs were trained to test COVID-19.B．Sweat samples are perfect to test COVID-19.C．Dogs can identify most COVID-19 cases.D．PCR tests failed to meet public expectation.2. What’s the disadvantage of usi ng dogs for COVID-19 tests?A．Dogs may be unfriendly to people when doing tests.B．Dogs lack experience dealing with large screens.C．Dogs may need a long time to identify the disease.D．Dogs may recognize other diseases as coronavirus.3. What can we infer about trained dogs according to Furton?A．They perform well at detecting COVID-19 virus.B．They do better at detecting explosives than viruses.C．They are widely used in public places like schools.D．They like to be rewarded with toys after training.4. How does Otto view getting dogs to do COVID-19 tests?A．Supportive. B．Disapproving. C．Fearful. D．Confident.4. When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we’re witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can’t be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines?At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs —jobs that make the most of workers’ natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing — and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.The problem here isn’t the technology; rather, it’s the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it.1. What is the passage mainly about?A．How to take care of the AI machines.B．The relations between workers and jobs.C．The human’s fears in the age of AI.D．Human experiences were replaced by AI.2. What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage?A．Those that mainly have the economic benefits.B．The ones that offer chances to progress professionally.C．Those that make full use of workers’ motivation.D．The ones that don’t bring new problems to workers.3. How do news media respond to the development of AI?A．Negative. B．Supportive. C．Optimistic. D．Unknown.4. What will the author probably talk about next?A．The future jobs humans will do.B．The application of AI in the future.C．The ways that humans do jobs.D．The proper attitude towards AI.5. A highly expected project to get plastic out of the massive pool of ocean debris (碎片) is ready to begin its first period from Alameda, California. The creators of the project, called the Ocean Cleanup, say their system can remove 90 percent of the plastic in the ocean by 2040.It’s those larger pieces that the cleanup system will stop. The system features a 600-meter-long line of unmoored booms (未停泊的水栅) that act as an artificial shoreline traveling with the wind, waves and ocean currents while rounding up plastic debris. Beneath the surface, the booms drag a 3-meter-long skirt, through which only the tiniest bits of plastic can escape. Currents will naturally push the line of booms into a U-shape, herding plastic particles (颗粒) so they’re easier to collect.The booms are also tricked out with solar-powered lights, anti-collision (防冲撞) systems and satellite positioning to avoid ships and help project scientists keep track of the system’s location. Periodically, support ships will cart the collected plastic bits back to land for recycling.The launch of “System 001” will be a test for the first of a planned fleet of about 60 such systems. Once launched, System 001 will undergo two weeks of field testing off the California coast, Lebreton says. If all goes well, it will head to the North Pacific, arriving within five weeks of the launch date. “We’re hoping to bring the first plastic back before the end of the year,” he says.The Ocean Cleanup representatives say their project is meant to work consistently with such upstream measures. “Even while trying to change human behaviors, it’s still worth trying to remove whatever is already out there floating near the surface. The whole point is that we want to try to collect as much as possible,” Lebreton says.Whatever the result of this deployment, some experts trying to tackle the plastic trash problem applaud the Ocean Cleanup for raising awareness around the issue.1. What can we know about the cleanup system?A．It has been launched for several times. B．It’s also called the Ocean Cleanup.C．People do n’t think much of it.D．It may remove most large ocean plastic.2. What’s the use of the skirt the booms drag?A．Acting as a shoreline. B．Traveling with waves.C．Collecting plastic particles. D．Pushing booms’ line into a U-shape.3. What does the underl ined part “tricked out” mean in paragraph 3?A．Equipped. B．Filled. C．Covered. D．Poured.4. How do some experts view the Ocean Cleanup?A．It’s vital for protecting the ocean from plastic waste.B．It contributes to informing people of ocean pollution.C．It’s far from perfect and needs improvement before use.D．It has won applause from ocean-protection organizations.6. How to improve your studies—scientificallyOur brain can possibly memorize 2. 5 petabytes（千兆）of information. In order to use some of that surprising capacity（能力）a little more effectively when you learn, here are some tips that are based on widely-accepted research by learning experts.1Some enjoy watching videos over reading books, others study with friends, and some like sitting in silence among a million books. Everybody is different.Hard things first2 , so do the things that are difficult first. Once you are done with the hard things, you will feel better for the rest of the day, and probably more motivated to get other things done.Space（分隔开）your studies3 . Facts or vocabularies, for example, are best learned if you review them the first time one to two days after the study, and then again after one week, and after one month.Instant self-testAfter your study, finish up with a quick quiz. Immediate recall in the form of a test or a short summary on what you’ve just learned can increase retention（记忆力）by as much as 30%. 4 , that extra effort creates deeper traces（痕迹）in your memory.Don’t force i tMotivation is like hunger. You cannot force yourself to be motivated, just like you can’t tell someone else to be hungry. So, if you are not hungry right now, don’t worry. 5 .7. It’s estimated that families in the UK create more than six million tonnes of food waste each year. With food prices rising, it’s a good time to become a food-waste fighter. 1 After all, growing, packaging and transporfing foo d uses a lot of Earth’s resources such as energy and water.2 First, it’s a good idea to find out just how much food goes into your rubbish can. Keep a diary and note down the foods that get thrown most often, and why.Planning meals for the week can save time and money. Meat from a Sunday roast could go into sandwiches on Monday. Bananas that are brown and soft can be baked into banana bread at the weekend. 3Cooking the correct size helps too. Weigh out pasta or rice you need before you cook it. Before you pile your plate, check how hungry you are. 4It’s hard to keep track of food that’s gone to the hack of the fridge. You could label a shelf an “Eat me first”spot for anything that has been there a while. 5 You can freeze leftovers in a sealed container for another day. But heat any leftovers put in a fridge thoroughly before eating. Finally, use your senses. Some UK supermarkets have taken “best before” dates off fruit and vegetables. This can encourage people to use their nose and eyes to work out if something is still fine to eat. Ask an adult to help. Don’t forget to update your diary to see how much change you can make.8. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, I was one of those naughty(淘气的) little kids that never, ever stopped asking “Why?”. I used to ask my mum the most annoying questions. As a “why” kid, I thought everything _______ can be changed and I could make the world better.When I was in my high school, I _______ the chance to go to the Philippines to learn more due to my good _______ at school.

It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated (复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South.But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwestto work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps (军营) in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada — in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their ownlanguages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.4．It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from ________.A．the Northeast and Midwest B．real-life stories in small towns C．factories and army camps in the South D．the Appalachian Mountains and the West 5．Before World War II country music was popular mainly in ________.A．the Northeast B．the north C．the Midwest D．the south 6．During World War II many Southerners went to the Northeast and the Mid-west because ________.A．they wanted to take music with them B．they wanted to work in the factories there C．they wanted to make country music popular D．they wanted to make other people like country musicSome students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored (得分) an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved (提高) their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated (不相关的) to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade, of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.“What we showed is that for student who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally getnervous in these tests.”But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.7．What do the students start worrying about before an exam?A．Whether they can pass the exams.B．What other students do during the test.C．Whether they have remembered the materials.D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.8．What is the solution developed by researchers?A．Making the students focused on the test.B．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.C．Having the students write about their worries about the test.D．Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.9．According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test________.A．became less nervous before the testB．were better at controlling their feelingsC．did worse than those who wrote about their feelingsD．did better than those who wrote about their feelings10．In which part of a magazine can we probably read this text?A．Mental health.B．Sports.C．Technology.D．Culture.Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age. When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edisonworked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.Thomas Edison died at the age of 84.

But thetruth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. ButIdecided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.When I was about two hundred meters from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened（震聋） me. Howard stopped walking and began whining(哀鸣). Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!21．The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that ___________.A. Howard had a strange behaviorB. Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightningD. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth22．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.23. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?A. It was about 200 meters from the aut hor’s home.B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.BReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their bookshave been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.24．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.25．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.26．What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.27．What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksCStephen Hawking is perhaps the world’s most famous living physicist. To the public, he’s best known as an author of bestsellers such as The Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time, which have brought an appreciation of theoretical (理论上的) physics to millions. He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to readuntil he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the news that he might die young from motor neurone (运动神经元) disease made him focus on his work.Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the ag e of 4 but then she was brighter than me.” He said that he was common at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting wasvery bad in the teachers’ eyes,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the n ame Einstein, so probably they saw signs of something better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that he began to focus on his work, which resulted in some of his early achievements. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.” Hawking serves as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to contribute to both high-level physics and the popular understanding of our universe.28．When Stephen Hawking studied in Oxford University, he was ________ .A. cleverB. lazyC. brightD. mean29．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A. Patience.B. Knowledge.C. Disease.D. Laziness.30．From whom did Hawking get a fair jud gment when he was at school?A. His sister.B. His classmates.C. His teachers.D. His parents.31．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Hawking didn’t realize his dreams in physics.B. Hawking succeeded in overcoming the fear of an early death.C. The purpose of the doctor was to encourage him to work hard.D. The doctor warned Hawking that his life might be taken away by hard work.DThe values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Jap anese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.32．According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.33．In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____.A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures34．According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____.A .they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. they are created by the world’s greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature35．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?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。
