It’s part of a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI. The MBTI test divides people into sixteen personality types, such as INFJ, INTP, ESTP and ESFJ. “I” or “E” is the first letter. People are either “I”, usually quiet, or “E”, usually outgoing. But sometimes an “i-person” seems to be outgoing. For example, an “i-person” maybe talks much with a group of quieter friends than him or her. It seems interesting for many young people to use the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality. I once took the result seriously. But one day, I was surprised to see my sister Lucy making a study plan for the summer holiday. She is a “p-person” according to the test result. “P-persons” usually don’t like to make plans. “I thought you were a ‘p-person’,” I said. “Why do I need to follow what my personality test tells me? It’s just for fun,” she answered. Yes, she was right. The test was just for fun. Maybe, the MBTI personality test tells you something about someone. And it can also be a way to start up a talk when you meet new friends. However, the four letters don’t tell you everything about a person. Don’t let the MBTI result tell you who you are. 1．How many kinds of personalities are there in the MBTI test? A．2. B．4. C．8. D．16. 2．An “e-person” is usually ________ than an “i-person” according to the MBTI result. A．smarter B．quieter C．more outgoing D．more popular 3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The writer dislikes making plans. B．The writer’s sister doesn’t take the MBTI test seriously. C．The writer was surprised to know his sister’s test result. D．The writer thinks it’s stupid to use the MBTI result to describe a person. 4．What can we learn about the MBTI personality test? A．It is completely unscientific. B．It is one of the best ways to get to know someone. C．It can help you know everything about someone. D．It is something you can talk about when making friends. 5．Where can we read this passage? A．In a dictionary. B．In a diary. C．In a magazine. D．In a history book. B Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future? 3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious (有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials. 1 And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favorite food whenever we like. 2 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (宽带) and we can get unlimited information. Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths (深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes. 3 For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there. A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy. When we are lonely, they can have a talk with us like real friends. 4 In a word, just as Jules Verne said, “Anything one man can imagine, other man can make real.” 6．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the future world is TRUE? A．3-D food will be easy to make but won’t taste good. B．With 5G, users will get only a little information. C．Underwater cities will provide more living space. D．A robot will do everything for us human beings. 7．What does the underlined word “unlimited” mean in Chinese? A．无限的 B．有限的 C．有用的 D．最迟的 8．Where can the sentence “Space tour will be a piece of cake.” be put? A．1 B．2 C．3 D．4 9．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．People will live a hard life in the future. B．Technology will make our future better. C．People will have no real friends in the future. D．Technology will make no difference to our future. 10．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A storybook. B．A film poster. C．A travel guide. D．A science magazine. C Chinese culture is becoming more and more popular in the world. Translation (翻译) plays an important role. Here are two Chinese books and one Chinese movie. They are all popular in the West. The Three-Body Problem《三体》 This Hugo Award (雨果奖) winner is the most well-known work of Chinese science fiction (小说). Its translator (翻译), Ken Liu, helped it become popular. Liu can speak both Chinese and English. That made him the best choice to translate the story. Liu didn’t translate (翻译) the book word for word. Instead, he tried to make it easier for English readers to understand. Foreign readers like the English version (版本). Many English speakers have become fans of Liu Cixin. Ne Zha《哪吒之魔童降世》 American translator Jerimiah Willhite translated the film. He learned Chinese while in college and is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has read many classic Chinese books, such as Tao Te Ching (《道德经》). His work has helped English speakers enjoy the movie. On the movie review (影评) website Rotten Tomatoes, Ne Zha has a rating (评分) of 88 percent. Legends of the Condor Heroes《射雕英雄传》 British translator Anna Holmwood began to learn Chinese at 21. When she read Jin Yong’s work Legends of the Condor Heroes, she loved the world and characters in the book. She wanted to bring the book to more people. Many phrases in the book are hard to translate. But Holmwood made them easy to understand and natural.

D If you are looking for something to kill your time, TikTok is just the app. TikTok is a social media platform (社交媒体平台). There you can watch, share and create short videos. These videos can be about almost everything, from personal lives to the latest news. In February 2021, TikTok has around 1.1 billion users worldwide. Almost 60% of the users are between the ages of 16 and 24. Then, why is it so popular among young people? Firstly, most videos on TikTok last only 15 seconds. Sometimes it seems a15-second video can make you happier than a one-hour TV show. It is relaxing for people who look for fun for a few minutes after busy days. The algorithm (算法) of the app is another reason. Whenever you open the app, the first page you see is the “For You” page. By using algorithm, TikTok can know your interest and provide videos you may like on the “For You” page. If you “heart” the videos you love, similar ones will keep showing up. TikTok also encourages everyone to become a creator. Creators can make videos in any way they want. If they want their videos to appear on the “For You” page of many other users, they should make them attractive. That encourages video creators to keep producing more. As TikTok has grown, more and more young people become addicted to short videos. You may find yourself spending an hour or two on hundreds of short videos without realizing it. Maybe you just plan to relax a while before finishing your work but end up doing nothing except for scrolling down the screen the whole afternoon. 16．What can we know about TikTok? A．TikTok offers any news you want. B．TikTok helps people make good friends. C．TikTok attracts many young people. D．TikTok helps people make everything. 17．How many reasons for the success of TikTok are mentioned in the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 18．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean? A．Young people use TikTok too much. B．Young people are good at using TikTok. C．TikTok helps young people make videos. D．TikTok helps more young people grow up. 19．What does the writer probably agree with? A．Young people should learn to use TikTok. B．Using TikTok makes young people famous. C．Using TikTok has both good and bad effects. D．Using TikTok is harmful to people’s health. 20．What should a creator do if they want their videos to appear on the “For You” page of many other users? A．Make their videos attractive. B．Make their videos very long. C．Watch more videos themselves. D．Change the app’s algorithm. 二、阅读还原6选5（本题共5个小题，每小题3分，共15分） 阅读全文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中（有一个是多余选项），使原文的意思完整、连贯。 On the fourth Thursday of every November, most Americans get together around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving Special traditions in the US have been around for many years. 21 These are four popular Thanksgiving traditions and how they started. 22 The first Thanksgiving meal was in the autumn of 1621 when the first travelers from England celebrated their first harvest(收获).
