Yang wrote his first letter to his parents on the third day. Holding the brush, he struggled to find the right words to start. “Through the traditional way of writing letters to convey my feelings and longing for my family, the distance and the waiting helped me reflect on my relationship with the world,” Yang says. He mailed 40 letters during his trip, and received five replies, which have become treasured memories. Yang returned to Taiyuan on April 9.

In every community, there are historic sites that serve as reminders of our shared past.

A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past. I’m sure that we have all stepped into the crosswalk, at one time or another, and experienced this sudden, heart-stopping ___21___. I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers ___22___ through crossroads to deliver takeaway food. Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even ___23___ for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often ___24___ red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings. But they also often pay the ___25___ price — each year, it seems like fatal injuries involving delivery drivers are increasing. ___26___, since delivery drivers are usually poorly paid, how much blame do they really deserve for running against the clock? Well, it ___27___ to be a complicated issue. Recently an article titled “Delivery Drivers, Stuck in the System” was shared widely on social media. According to the article, ___28___ between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been ___29___, in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these ___30___ on drivers. As a result, drivers find themselves in a dilemma(左右两难的困境)：break traffic laws or, in some cases, lose hundreds of yuan in earnings for late deliveries. According to surveys and reactions online, ___31___ care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to ___32___ delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions. Although these new ___33___ cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving, they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as ___34___, we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. ___35___, be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long. If you see a food delivery guy rushing toward you on an escalator or into a door, consider standing back and letting him go first. After all, they are putting their lives on the line just to deliver our food. 21. A. fright B. delight C. pain D. sorrow 22. A. running B. walking C. rushing D. wandering 23.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?”—but then you rolled me over for a belly (腹部) rub. I remember those nights of rubbing you in bed and listening to your secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. She, now your wife, is not a “dog person”—still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by the pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time in another room. There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered “yes” and changed the subject. I had gone from being “your dog” to “just a dog”. Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to another apartment that does not allow pets. You’ve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family. People in the animal shelter are attentive to me, but I lost my appetite. At first whenever anyone passed, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you—that this was all a bad dream or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. 36. How did the dog’s owner treat the puppy when it was at a younger age? A. He entertained the puppy with jokes and gestures. B. He treated the puppy as if it were a family member. C. He disciplined the puppy when it made a mess. D. He kept the puppy at a distance for the chewed shoes. 37. Why was the puppy excluded from the room after the babies were born? A. The puppy was tempted by the babies’ pinkness and sweet smell. B. The puppy poses a serious danger to the health and well-being of babies. C. The couple were concerned that the babies would be in danger. D. The master envied the natural affection between the babies and the puppy. 38. What can we infer from the last 3 paragraphs? A. It was hard for the puppy to accept the fact that it was ignored. B. The master had a mixed feeling for the advancement in career. C. The puppy felt relieved for the master’s establishment of a new family. D. It was urgent for the master to give up the puppy and move to another city. 39. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. A Good Heart to Lean on B. New Member of the Family C. The Words of an Abandoned Dog D. Animal Shelter: the Last Home for Puppies B Many factors can interfere with a good night’s sleep — from work stress and family responsibilities to illnesses. You might not be able to control the factors that interfere with your sleep. However, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep. Start with these simple tips. 1. Stick to a sleep schedule Set aside no more than eight hours for sleep. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed to be well rested. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends. Being consistent reinforces your body’s sleep-wake cycle. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes of going to bed, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Read or listen to soothing music. Go back to bed when you’re tired. Repeat as needed, but continue to maintain your sleep schedule and wake-up time. 2. Pay attention to what you eat and drink Don’t go to bed hungry or stuffed. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. Discomfort might keep you up. Caffeine and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of caffeine take hours to wear off and can interfere with sleep. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy at first, it can disrupt sleep later in the night. 3. Create a restful environment Keep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs. Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep. 4. Limit daytime naps Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep. Limit naps to no more than one hour and avoid napping late in the day. However, if you work nights, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up your sleep debt. 5. Include physical activity in your daily routine Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. However, avoid being active too close to bedtime. Spending time outside every day might be helpful, too. 6. Manage worries Try to resolve your worries or concerns before bedtime. Jot down what’s on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow. Stress management might help. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks. 40. What can be learned from the passage? A. It’s not hard to control the factors interfering with our sleep. B. The longer we sleep, the better we feel. C. It’s better to remain in bed when you fail to fall asleep. D. Stress can contribute to bad sleep. 41. According to the article, which of the following encourages better sleep? A. Do physical exercise before going to bed. B. Drink alcohol to get sleepy. C. Avoid long naps during the day. D. Do some indoor activities. 42. This article is most likely to come from ____________. A. a travel magazine B. an advertisement C. a health magazine D. an informal letter Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Distance or Face-to-Face Learning: What’s the Difference? Although many people think it is a modern phenomenon, distance learning has been around for at least 200 years in one form or another. When comparing the two systems, the first and most obvious area to focus on is the way that learning is delivered. Distance learning is heavily dependent on technology, particularly the internet.____43____In comparison, when learning remotely, technology is the principal means of communication. The flexibility this provides means that students may be better able to learn at their own pace, following their own timetable, but it may also mean that learners have to be well-organized and self-disciplined. They must therefore be highly motivated in order to do well on the distance-learning courses. ____44____. Namely, the teacher is the “knower”, and is responsible for helping students understand the key components of the course. However, the nature of the relationship may differ slightly within the two modes of delivery. With face-to-face learning, the teacher and student have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship through lectures, seminars and tutorials. This is different from a distance-learning course, where the teacher may seldom or indeed never actually meet the student. This may make it hard for teachers to understand their learners’ specific learning needs. ____45____. Generally, students like to meet regularly and talk to people on the same course. However, this kind of interaction on a distance-learning course is less common. Although people can increasingly interact through online conversations and message boards, there is a significant difference between virtual and real interaction. Time and geography must also be considered when contrasting these two types of learning. Face-to-face learning must take place in real time and in one location._____46_____. In conclusion, it is difficult to state whether one form of learning is better than another, as they cater for different audiences. What is important to understand is the different ways in which they operate, and that there are strong similarities between the two systems, which can both produce positive results. A. Historical examples of long-distance learning include students being sent a series of weekly lessons by post. B. On the contrary, distance learning can happen at any time and in any location, since the learning is not restricted by geography. C. On a face-to-face course, students may only require a computer for the purpose of writing an essay. D. The technological advances of the past 20 or so years have meant that distance learning is now able to rival face-to-face learning as a credible alternative. E. For many students, interaction with their peers is one of the best aspects of university education. F. In terms of the teacher-student relationship, the core principles remain the same. Ⅳ.
