C. in 2017. To cure my loneliness, I made meals at home. And I always shared food with new friends. Because my food was pretty good, everyone asked me for the recipes（秘诀）. I started my cooking blog in 2019. As a little kid, I often sat and watched mum cook. I spent most of my childhood in the kitchen. Since then, I was interested in cooking. Before I could learn my mom’s best dishes, I left for France to go to college in 2015. When studying in France, I was living alone for the first time in my life. I was crazily homesick. So, I started calling my mom and asking for the recipes for my favorite dishes. My mom didn’t have any recipes. She grew up in the kitchen with her mom too, and my grandma passed on her knowledge orally（口头地）. Now it was my turn. Instead of following strict measurements（测量）,I learned to cook by tasting and feeling. At first, my blog was just a space for me to put what I had learned into writing. I didn’t want the secret behind dishes like my mom’s noodles and my dad’s tomato soup to disappear. I wanted to write down every piece of advice I was given in detail. These days, I experiment more. I’m not as strict with myself about making the dishes as I eat them. I just use seasonal food material as I like. My followers are growing and this makes me more confident in the kitchen. The blog also increased my confidence at work and gave me a space to write about what I love. It has connected me to new friends online. Most importantly, I mix the tradition that I’ve experienced and something new. ( ) 26. The writer started her cooking blog because _______· A. she wanted to kill some free time B. she wanted to share recipes with friends C. her friends asked her to record the special dishes D. her mum advised her to spread the cooking tradition ( ) 27.

A. create more recipes to share on her cooking blog B. join a cooking class to improve her cooking skill C. stop writing and run a restaurant to try her own recipes D. return to her parents for more his family’s cooking secret B Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit（好处）. In a study, 52 students were given a boring task of separating red beans from green on for 30minutes, while another group of 49 students was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were asked to spend five minutes on a creative task. ___________, the group that had performed the boring task produced more creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s leader, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to seek novelty（追求新奇）, which can bring out creativity.” For designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. J. K. Rowling, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind fly, and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. However, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Park agrees that boredom really can be harmful to some important work. “I would say at security jobs（安保工作）where you need to pay be watchful all the time, like police or security guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. ( ) 31. Which word is the most suitable for _______? A. Surprisingly B. Nervously C. Expectedly D. Worriedly ( ) 32. According to Park, which of the following job may being bored be good for? A. A policeman. B. A designer. C. An accountant. D. A nurse. ( ) 33. What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Give up happily. B. Refuse with thanks. C.

Both groups spent five minutes on a creative task and Group A 3 could than Group B. Being bored can 4 to some people, especially working in a creative field. Group B Forty-nine participants did 2 . a. a boring task b. bring some unexpected benefits c. a creative project d. come up with more creative ideas A. 1-c, 2-a, 3-b, 4-d B. 1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b C. 1-a, 2-c, 3-d, 4-b D. 1-a, 2-c, 3-b, 4-d ( ) 35.

Abing began learning the dizi at the age of 12, then the erhu. He leaned to play many of the local instruments quite well. At the age of 17, Abing first performed in public, which made him well famous for his 42 (music) talent. When Abing was in his 43 (thirty), he got an eye disease and completely lost the sight of both eyes. From then on, he 44 (know) as Blind Abing. He often told people, “I 45 (not use) the name Hua Yanjun for years, no one knows it. It’s better if you call me Blind Abing; that’s the name that everyone on the street knows.” Abing became 46 (home), and he had to make a living as a street performer. After Abing got married in 1903, he continued to perform every afternoon in a public square in Wuxi. His most famous piece, Erquan Yingyue, was performed in this period. While 47 (listen) to the moving piece of music, you can sense a strong sadness and pain behind the beauty. During his lifetime, Abing 48 (success) developed his erhu skills to such a high level that his music spread throughout the country. However, it is a pity that only six pieces of music in total 49 (record) for the future world to hear. Abing died in 1950. His Erquan Yingyue is still played as a standard erhu piece today. As one of China’s 50 (nation) treasures, it is a piece which all the great erhu masters praise. The sad beauty makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own painful experiences. 41._____________ 42._____________ 43._____________44._____________ 45 ._____________ 46._____________ 47._____________ 48._____________49._____________ 50. _____________ 五、短文填词（本题共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy.
