Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) While for many a cook, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste. With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to prevent this? For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the remainder, what’s available, and then make a menu. This is what every cook should do.” He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (味道),” Rudolf explains. “There are too many cooks who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste. He knows that one of his suppliers — a local farm — is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred cooks only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says. While other cooks will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a cook, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste. 36．What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes? A．To create the fanciest meals ever. B．To educate the public on food waste. C．To encourage people to cook by themselves. D．To get a job in Michelin-starred restaurants. 37．What does Rudolf say about many cooks? A．They care too much about flavor. B．They are too choosy about ingredients. C．They satisfy customers’ needs to the full. D．They would like to try out new cooking methods. 38．What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf? A．They overproduce greatly. B．They have difficulty winning orders C．They have many unwanted left materials. D．They fail to store their products properly. 39．Which of the following best describes Rudolf? A．Influential. B．Excitable. C．Mean. D．Responsible. 【答案】36．B 37．B 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是厨师Rudolf Brand通过创新菜品减少食物浪费，倡导珍惜食材、关注环保的烹饪理念。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段“While for many a cook, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste. (虽然对许多厨师来说，提供最精致和最美味的餐点是最终目标，但鲁道夫·布兰德（Rudolf Brand）还有一个额外的目标：对抗食物浪费。他认为通过自己的菜肴，可以大大影响人们对于食物及食物浪费的看法。)”可知，Rudolf Brand做食物的额外目标是与食物浪费作斗争，他想通过自己做的食物来影响人们对食物和食物浪费的看法，由此可知，他想要教育公众关于食物浪费的问题。故选B项。 37．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There are too many cooks who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest. (有太多的厨师试图让他们的菜太花哨。他们只想要最大的海鱼。或者他们只用卷心菜的心，只用最好的叶子做一道菜，然后把剩下的扔掉。)”可知，很多厨师只要最大的海鱼，做菜只要卷心菜心，剩下的都扔掉，由此可知，许多厨师对食材太过挑剔。故选B项。 38．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He knows that one of his suppliers — a local farm — is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred cooks only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. (他知道其中一位供应商——一个本地农场——因为顶级米其林星级厨师只购买珍贵的肉切片而不订购整条腿，结果留下越来越多的食物库存。仅仅三到四周的时间，农场的冷冻库里就积压了1000条羊腿。)”可知，由于米其林星级厨师只购买珍贵的肉块而不是整条羊腿，这导致供应商的农场里剩下了许多羊腿，由此可推测，食物供应商面临的问题是他们剩下了许多不被需要的食材。故选C项。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. (他说：“接受稍低品质的食材并不意味着我会提供较低品质的菜肴。我的工作是将这些转化为盘中优质的美食。”)”和“As a cook, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste. (作为一名厨师，他认为自己不仅有责任做美味的食物，还有责任减少食物浪费。)”可知，Rudolf虽然会接受质量较次的食材，但他依然会把这些食材做成优质食物提供给顾客，他认为自己有责任在做美味食物的同时减少食物浪费，由此可推测出，他是一个有责任心的人。故选D项。 (B) Four Great Online Art Classes for Kids Here are four of the best online art classes for kids that are either free or extremely affordable (负担得起的).Carla Sonheim’s Kid’s Week Carla Sonheim, the author of Drawing Lab, has a series of free art classes.

It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun. Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams. Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players. Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport. 43．When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll _______. A．have as many shots as possible B．improve your volleyball skills C．be responsible for more ground D．feel light-hearted while playing 44．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand. B．Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength. C．A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand. D．The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball. 45．Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball? A．Because it is not easy to move on sand. B．Because beach volleyball has a larger court. C．Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger. D．Because it is a workout running for the ball. 46．What does the author think of beach volleyball? A．It’s a difficult sport. B．It’s an exciting and interesting sport. C．It’s a sport which only a few people love. D．It’s a sport which needs few skills. 【答案】43．D 44．C 45．A 46．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沙滩排球这项运动。 43．细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.(如果你正在寻找一种轻松、有趣、低调的体验，那就选择大一点的团队)”可知，当你加入一个大型的沙滩排球队时，你会玩的时候感觉轻松愉快。故选D。 44．推理判断题。根据第三段“When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance.(当运动员进行沙滩排球训练时，他将重点放在增强下肢力量和上肢力量上。增强腿部力量非常重要。这提高了球员在沙滩上快速、准确移动的能力，尽管有阻力)”可推知，如果一个人想在沙滩上快速跑跳，他必须有强壮的双腿。故选C。 45．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court.(由于在沙滩上比在坚硬的表面上更难快速移动，所以比赛会比在球场上的普通排球慢得多)”可知，沙滩排球比普通排球慢得多是因为在沙滩上移动不容易。故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch.(沙滩排球是那种玩起来和看起来都很令人兴奋的运动之一)”和最后一段中“Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun.(无论你是为了比赛，还是只是为了和朋友们玩得开心，沙滩排球都非常令人兴奋和有趣)”可推知，作者认为沙滩排球是一项令人兴奋和有趣的运动。故选B。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Success Requires “Ample Doses of Pain” Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has a simple message for young people who want to achieve greatness: No pain, no gain. That was essentially his message for students at his alma mater, Stanford University, where he made a speech at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. “Greatness is not intelligence. 47 And character isn’t formed out of smart people; it’s formed out of people who suffered,” Huang said in response to a question about how students can maximize their shot at being successful. 48 In 1993, he co-founded computer chip company Nvidia, where he’s served as CEO for more than three decades. The company’s success turned Huang into a billionaire. Now, with Nvidia’s chips in high demand for building AI software, it’s become one of the world’s most valuable companies with a valuation worth of $2 trillion. “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations,” Huang said, noting that most Stanford graduates have very high expectations as a result of having an elite education. Often people with very high expectations have very low resilience because they are not accustomed to, or prepared for, failure. “ 49 I don’t know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you,” he said. Psychologists also tend to agree that resilient people are more likely to have the strength and confidence to handle challenges and bounce back from failure. Huang certainly had to struggle in his company’s early days. “To this day I use the phrase ‘pain and suffering’ inside our company with great joy,” Huang told the Stanford students. “ 50 You want greatness out of it.” A．Greatness comes from character. B．Unfortunately, resilience matters in success. C．Building character is a key factor in determining success. D．When it comes to achieving success, Huang knows more than most. E．That’s why I still worry Nvidia could ultimately fail, despite its tremendous success. F．I mean that in a happy way, because you want to refine the character of your company. 【答案】47．A 48．D 49．B 50．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了成功需要通过痛苦和磨练来建立坚韧的性格，这种性格比智力更为重要。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋通过自己和公司的成功经历证明了这一点。 47．根据上文的““Greatness is not intelligence.(伟大不是智慧。)”和下文的“And character isn’t formed out of smart people; it’s formed out of people who suffered,” Huang said in response to a question about how students can maximize their shot at being successful.(“性格并不来自聪明的人；它是由经历过苦难的人造就的。”在回答有关学生如何最大限度地获得成功的问题时，黄说。)”可知，A项(伟大源于性格。)承接上文，回答了伟大来自哪里，下文解释性格来自哪里。故选A项。 48．根据下文的“In 1993, he co-founded computer chip company Nvidia, where he’s served as CEO for more than three decades. The company’s success turned Huang into a billionaire. Now, with Nvidia’s chips in high demand for building AI software, it’s become one of the world’s most valuable companies with a valuation worth of $2 trillion.(1993年，他与人共同创立了计算机芯片公司英伟达，并在该公司担任了30多年的首席执行官。公司的成功让黄成为了亿万富翁。现在，英伟达的芯片在构建人工智能软件方面需求旺盛，它已经成为世界上最有价值的公司之一，估值达到2万亿美元。)”可知，黄仁勋作为英伟达公司的首席执行官，他懂得很多促使创业成功的经验，D项(谈到成功，黄比大多数人都懂得多。)能够作为话题句，引领下文。故选D项。 49．根据上文的““One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations,” Huang said, noting that most Stanford graduates have very high expectations as a result of having an elite education. Often people with very high expectations have very low resilience because they are not accustomed to, or prepared for, failure. (黄说：“我最大的优势之一就是期望值很低。”他指出，由于接受了精英教育，大多数斯坦福大学毕业生的期望值都很高。通常，期望很高的人的适应力很低，因为他们不习惯失败，也没有为失败做好准备。)”和下文的“I don’t know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you,” he said. Psychologists also tend to agree that resilient people are more likely to have the strength and confidence to handle challenges and bounce back from failure. Huang certainly had to struggle in his company’s early days.(他说：“我不知道怎么教你，我只希望你遭受苦难。”心理学家也倾向于认为，适应力强的人更有可能有力量和信心来应对挑战，并从失败中恢复过来。当然，在公司的早期，黄必须努力奋斗。)”可知，B项(不幸的是，韧性对成功至关重要。)承接上文，说明了接受了精英教育的学生期望值很高，缺乏任性，下文黄仁勋指出了为什么韧性对于成功是至关重要的。故选B项。 50．根据上文的““To this day I use the phrase ’pain and suffering’ inside our company with great joy,” Huang told the Stanford students.(黄对斯坦福大学的学生们说：“直到今天，在我们公司里，我都很高兴地使用‘痛苦和磨难’这个词。”)”和下文的“You want greatness out of it.(你想从中获得伟大。)”可知，F项(我说的是以一种快乐的方式来体验苦难，因为你想要完善你的公司的性格。)承接上文，说明了公司要乐于接受一种体验苦难的文化，来培养韧性，下文指出这样做了，才能成就伟大。故选F项。 III.Translation (共15分。第1-3小题,每题2分;第4题4分;第5题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 51．说起背单词，临时抱佛脚是下下策，循序渐进方能见效。（difference）(汉译英) 【答案】When it comes to memorizing words, cramming at the last minute is the worst strategy, and progressing gradually can make a difference. 【详解】考查短语、时态和固定句型。“说起……”用固定句型when it comes to...，其中to为介词，后接动名词形式；“背单词”翻译为 memorize words；“临时抱佛脚”翻译为 cram at the last minute；“下下策”翻译为the worst strategy；“循序渐进”翻译为progress gradually；“见效”用短语 make a difference；陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。句中缺少主语，所以用动名词作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故翻译为When it comes to memorizing words, cramming at the last minute is the worst strategy, and progressing gradually can make a difference. 52．尤其是女性持有这样的观念：她们穿戴的银饰越多，就显得越漂亮富有。（in particular）(汉译英) 【答案】Women, in particular, hold the belief that the more silver they wear, the more beautiful and wealthy they will look. 【详解】考查时态、同位语从句和固定句型。分析原句，“尤其是女性持有这样的观念”是主句，“尤其”作状语，用in particular表示，“女性”是主语，用复数名词women表示，“持有”是谓语动词，描述普通现象，用一般现在时态，用hold表示，“这样的观念”是宾语，用the belief表示，主句译为women, in particular, hold the belief；“她们穿戴的银饰越多，就显得越漂亮富有”是对主句宾语the belief内容的解释说明，可处理为同位语从句，用连词that引导，表示“越……，就越……”用固定句型the more..., the more...，“穿戴”用动词wear，“银饰”用名词silver，“显得”用系动词look，“漂亮富有”用形容词beautiful and wealthy，同位语从句可译为that the more silver they wear, the more beautiful and wealthy they will look。故翻译为Women, in particular, hold the belief that the more silver they wear, the more beautiful and wealthy they will look。 53．如果我们未能实施必要措施来支持其广泛运用，那么投资先进的可再生能源技术又有什么意义呢？(point) (汉译英) 【答案】What is the point of investing in advanced renewable energy technologies if we fail to implement the necessary measures to support their widespread adoption? 【详解】考查固定句型、条件状语从句、非谓语动词和动词（短语）。“那么投资先进的可再生能源技术又有什么意义呢”是主句，“做某事有什么意义”可用固定句型what is the point of doing…，“投资”可用动词短语invest in，“先进的可再生能源技术”可用名词短语advanced renewable energy technologies；“如果我们未能实施必要措施来支持其广泛运用”可用意为“如果”的从属连词if引导条件状语从句，假设的应该是将来的情况，用一般现在时表将来，主语“我们”用代词we，“未能做某事”可用动词短语fail to do sth.，“实施”可用动词implement，“必要措施”可用名词短语the necessary measures，“来支持其广泛运用”是目的，可用不定式作目的状语，“支持”可用动词support，“其广泛运用”可用名词短语their widespread adoption。故可译为：What is the point of investing in advanced renewable energy technologies if we fail to implement the necessary measures to support their widespread adoption? 54．这个两层楼的酒店古色古香，坐落于半山腰，住店客人得以轻松登顶，并错峰参观纪念馆。(off-peak) (汉译英) 【答案】This two-story hotel, with its antique charm, is nestled on the hillside, allowing guests to easily reach the summit and visit the memorial museum during off-peak times. 【详解】考查名词短语、介词短语、动词短语、非谓语动词和时态。根据句意以及句子的提示词可知，表示“这个两层楼的酒店”应为名词短语This two-story hotel；表示“有着古色古香”应为介词短语with its antique charm；表示“坐落于半山腰”应为动词短语be nestled on the hillside；表示“允许”应为动词allow，此处为非谓语动词作状语，allow和逻辑主语前面整句话为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式，表示“轻松登顶，并错峰参观纪念馆”应为动词短语reach the summit and visit the memorial museum during off-peak times。结合句意可知，该句应为阐述客观事实，为一般现在时。故翻译为：This two-story hotel, with its antique charm, is nestled on the hillside, allowing guests to easily reach the summit and visit the memorial museum during off-peak times. 55．说到是什么吸引她来这所乡村学校做志愿者，她热衷于教育，相信教育能保证孩子们过上安全健康的日子。（appeal v.）（汉译英） 【答案】When it comes to what appeals to her to volunteer in the country school, she is enthusiastic about education/ she is keen on education, believing/convinced that education can ensure the kids a safe and sound life. 【详解】考查固定句型、宾语从句和非谓语动词。句子是描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，“说到”使用固定句型when it comes to，“是什么吸引她来这所乡村学校做志愿者”译为一个宾语从句，作介词to的宾语，“吸引某人做某事”使用动词短语appeal to sb to do sth，主语从句引导词”what”强调“吸引她的因素”。“来这所乡村学校做志愿者”译为volunteer in the country school，引导词在从句中作主语，表示“什么”使用连接代词what引导，谓语使用单数；“热衷于”使用固定短语be enthusiastic about/be keen on，“相信”使用动词believe/convince，believe和逻辑主语she之间是主谓关系，使用现在分词作状语，convince和逻辑主语she之间是动宾关系，使用过去分词作状语，“教育能保证孩子们过上安全健康的日子”译为一个宾语从句，“能”使用情态动词can，后接动词原形，“确保某人得到某物”使用动词短语ensure sb sth，“安全健康的日子”译为a safe and sound life，故从句译为education can ensure the kids a safe and sound life，结构、意义完整，使用连接词that引导。综上，故翻译为：When it comes to what appeals to her to volunteer in the country school, she is enthusiastic about education/she is keen on education, believing/convinced that education can ensure the kids a safe and sound life.

In particular, the round table will analyse the changes in the structure and functions of the family 8 (result) from globalisation. The question of how families and communities can benefit best from modernity and globalisation, 9 at the same time build resilience against the negative aspects, will receive special attention.

II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分；36-50每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Self-confidence: one’s belief that they can meet all the demands of a task. Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of 21 , right? Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or hair color. It’s a skill that anyone can start 22 today. One simple self-confidence builder is 23 self-talk. What you say to yourself 24 how you feel about yourself. Telling yourself “I can’t do anything right” or asking “Why did I even try?” could ruin you. Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I’ll do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure, 25 ways that you can improve, and try again. Another way to 26 your confidence is to believe in yourself. Studies show that believing you can do something can increase your chance of success. If you put in the work to learn how to do something, believe in your ability. Don’t let 27 steal your energy and motivation away. One of the ugliest enemies of self-confidence is 28 yourself to others. Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence. 29 , it will make you proud. And thinking you are worse than others won’t make you 30 ; it will fill you with envy. Fight back by counting your blessings. Keep a journal and write down all the things that you’re 31 for. Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence. You might have a(n) 32 for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it? Even if you fail, leaving your 33 zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence! Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness 34 you that you can make a difference in the world. When you make others feel good, you, 35 , feel good about yourself. 21．A．order B．luck C．curiosity D．habit 22．A．practicing B．displaying C．applying D．updating 23．A．addictive B．independent C．positive D．energetic 24．A．links B．stretches C．limits D．influences 25．A．involve B．identify C．ignore D．indicate 26．A．shake B．inspire C．restore D．share 27．A．concentration B．embarrassment C．enthusiasm D．doubt 28．A．comparing B．communicating C．proving D．exposing 29．A．Moreover B．Therefore C．However D．Instead 30．A．humble B．intelligent C．negative D．flexible 31．A．respectful B．grateful C．responsible D．regretful 32．A．talent B．anxiety C．mood D．occasion 33．A．danger B．occupation C．comfort D．safety 34．A．informs B．confirms C．promises D．reminds 35．A．in turn B．in person C．in all D．in addition Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) While for many a cook, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste. With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to prevent this? For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the remainder, what’s available, and then make a menu. This is what every cook should do.” He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (味道),” Rudolf explains. “There are too many cooks who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste. He knows that one of his suppliers — a local farm — is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred cooks only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says. While other cooks will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a cook, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste. 36．What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes? A．To create the fanciest meals ever. B．To educate the public on food waste. C．To encourage people to cook by themselves. D．To get a job in Michelin-starred restaurants. 37．What does Rudolf say about many cooks?

(B) Four Great Online Art Classes for Kids Here are four of the best online art classes for kids that are either free or extremely affordable (负担得起的).Carla Sonheim’s Kid’s Week Carla Sonheim, the author of Drawing Lab, has a series of free art classes. They are taught not just by Sonheim but also by fellow artists and teachers. The classes, which all last less than an hour,only require a bit of time and basic art supplies. The classes are cool because they combine artist style with fun tasks that kids of any age can finish.  Thrive Art School Thrive Art School is an actual art school，but they have a variety of art lessons online for kids of all ages and abilities. The lessons are divided between beginner and intermediate (中级的) artists. The beginner videos help younger kids learn how to draw fish, creative castles, and dogs; the intermediate lessons provide instruction (指示) on how to draw dolphins, deer, and lions. Udemy Udemy offers art classes to kids with different skill levels. For around $15 — $20 per course, kids can learn drawing everything, and even drawing on an electronic device. Each course has a series of short lectures that kids can complete at any time, plus articles and downloadable resources.Sparketh Kids aged 6 — 18 can enjoy up to 1000 free online art classes for 30 days on Sparketh.

It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun. Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams. Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players. Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport. 43．When you join a large beach volleyball team, you’ll _______. A．have as many shots as possible B．improve your volleyball skills C．be responsible for more ground D．feel light-hearted while playing 44．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand. B．Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength. C．A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand. D．The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball. 45．Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball? A．Because it is not easy to move on sand. B．Because beach volleyball has a larger court. C．Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger. D．Because it is a workout running for the ball. 46．What does the author think of beach volleyball? A．It’s a difficult sport. B．It’s an exciting and interesting sport. C．It’s a sport which only a few people love. D．It’s a sport which needs few skills. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Success Requires “Ample Doses of Pain” Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has a simple message for young people who want to achieve greatness: No pain, no gain. That was essentially his message for students at his alma mater, Stanford University, where he made a speech at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. “Greatness is not intelligence. 47 And character isn’t formed out of smart people; it’s formed out of people who suffered,” Huang said in response to a question about how students can maximize their shot at being successful. 48 In 1993, he co-founded computer chip company Nvidia, where he’s served as CEO for more than three decades. The company’s success turned Huang into a billionaire. Now, with Nvidia’s chips in high demand for building AI software, it’s become one of the world’s most valuable companies with a valuation worth of $2 trillion. “One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations,” Huang said, noting that most Stanford graduates have very high expectations as a result of having an elite education. Often people with very high expectations have very low resilience because they are not accustomed to, or prepared for, failure. “ 49 I don’t know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you,” he said. Psychologists also tend to agree that resilient people are more likely to have the strength and confidence to handle challenges and bounce back from failure. Huang certainly had to struggle in his company’s early days. “To this day I use the phrase ‘pain and suffering’ inside our company with great joy,” Huang told the Stanford students. “ 50 You want greatness out of it.” A．Greatness comes from character. B．Unfortunately, resilience matters in success. C．Building character is a key factor in determining success. D．When it comes to achieving success, Huang knows more than most. E．That’s why I still worry Nvidia could ultimately fail, despite its tremendous success. F．I mean that in a happy way, because you want to refine the character of your company.

Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of 21 , right? Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or hair color. It’s a skill that anyone can start 22 today. One simple self-confidence builder is 23 self-talk. What you say to yourself 24 how you feel about yourself.

Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I’ll do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure, 25 ways that you can improve, and try again. Another way to 26 your confidence is to believe in yourself. Studies show that believing you can do something can increase your chance of success.

Even if you fail, leaving your 33 zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence!

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) While for many a cook, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra aim: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big influence on people’s way of thinking about food and food waste. With 22 years of experience, including Michelin-starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career. So what is the best way to prevent this? For him, it really comes down to one important thing: “Rather than think about what you want to cook, look at the remainder, what’s available, and then make a menu. This is what every cook should do.” He’s clear on his solution. “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor (味道),” Rudolf explains. “There are too many cooks who are trying to make their dish too fancy. They want to have only the biggest sea fish. Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage, only using the best leaves, and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste. He knows that one of his suppliers — a local farm — is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred cooks only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the whole leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer. “And that’s just one supplier,” he says. While other cooks will only accept the best ingredients (原料) from their suppliers, if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits, Rudolf is still going to use it. “Just because I’ll accept produce of a slightly lower quality doesn’t mean I’m going to serve food of a less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says. As a cook, he thinks he has a duty not only to cook delicious food, but also to reduce food waste. 36．What is Rudolf’s extra goal with his dishes? A．To create the fanciest meals ever. B．To educate the public on food waste. C．To encourage people to cook by themselves. D．To get a job in Michelin-starred restaurants. 37．What does Rudolf say about many cooks? A．They care too much about flavor. B．They are too choosy about ingredients. C．They satisfy customers’ needs to the full. D．They would like to try out new cooking methods. 38．What problem do food suppliers face according to Rudolf? A．They overproduce greatly. B．They have difficulty winning orders C．They have many unwanted left materials. D．They fail to store their products properly. 39．Which of the following best describes Rudolf? A．Influential. B．Excitable. C．Mean. D．Responsible.
