It seems impossible and you may think it is ridiculous, but in fact some experts are encouraging (鼓励) people to do so. “Doing some housework such as cleaning the windows is a good way to face the pressure.” says Carol Clark, a successful New York psychologist (心理学家). “While cleaning the windows,” she says, “imagine you’re washing away all the things that are troubling you.” But some people don’t agree. They think that doing housework cannot make people relaxed. “Housework is the main reason for pressure in my life. I spend too much time on it and I need time to get relaxed.” says Linda, a teacher and a mother of three children. “Get out of housework and then I’ll be able to relax.” Gary is a doctor and a single (单身) father of a six-month-old baby. He is troubled with endless housework every day, so he is even more against doing housework. “I pay a psychologist $200 an hour to help me relax, and the psychologist tells me to do some housework! I don’t know who is crazier—the psychologist or me!” 5. In experts’ opinion, how can people feel by washing dirty clothes? A. tired. B. terrible. C. relaxed. D. excited. 6. Which of the following is close to the underlined word “ridiculous”? A. very wrong. B. very clever. C. very fair. D. very clear. 7. What is the common thing between Linda and Gary? A. They have only one child and are single parents. B. Their pressure in daily life comes from housework. C. They do the same job and have much pressure. D. Both of them think housework can help them relax. 8. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. Do you have pressure in your life? B. Is doing housework good for teenagers? C. Can housework help people get relaxed? D. Would you like to be a doctor or a teacher? (C) ①Chinese 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. ②The Three-Body Problem《三体》 The Three-Body Problem as the most well-known work of Chinese science fiction (小说) won the Hugo Award. Its translator (翻译家), Ken Liu, helped it become popular. Ken Liu can speak both Chinese and English. That made him the best person to translate the story. Ken Liu didn’t translate 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, the writer of the book. ③Ne 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. ④Legends 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 stories and characters in the book. She wanted to bring the book to more people. Many phrases (用语) in the book are hard to translate. But Holmwood made them easy to understand and natural. The English book came out in the UK in 2018. 9.

President Donald Trump decided to add new tariffs (关税) on some Chinese products (产品). This news has caused heated discussions around the world. Today, let’s understand what this means and how it changes people’s life. You may want to know what the meaning of tariffs is. Tariffs are extra (额外的) money paid when one country buys things from another. At the very beginning, Trump thinks Chinese products like toys, phones and steel (钢) are too cheap. So, he makes Chinese products more expensive in America by adding higher tariffs. In this way, companies (公司) in America can sell more American products because theirs will be cheaper. For example, the cost (成本) of a Chinese mobile phone is 100 dollars. After adding a tariff of 60%, its price becomes 160 dollars. However, not everyone agrees with Trump. Chinese government (政府) sees this as an unfair treatment (待遇). It is known to all that low-cost Chinese products help American families save money. If America increases the tariffs, China might do the same to U. S. farm products such as eggs, beef and soybeans (大豆). This could hurt American farmers who need to sell their farm products to China. In America, some factory workers support (支持) Trump’s idea. They hope more factories will open and create jobs. But shop owners get worried. Maria, who runs a clothing store in Texas, says, “If clothes get more expensive, my customers will buy less in the future.” In the past (2018-2020), similar tariffs caused higher prices for daily products like clothes and food. Experts say trade wars help no one. Now China wants to solve problems through talks instead of fighting. The world is watching to see if both countries can find a better way. 13. America may add new tariffs on Chinese ________. A. potatoes B. eggs C. steel D. soybeans 14. Why dose Trump add higher tariffs on some Chinese products? A. To buy things from another country. B. To sell more American products in America. C. To pay extra money for China. D. To make Chinese mobile phones cheaper. 15. Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph? A Everyone agrees with Trump. B. Chinese products are much cheaper in America after adding tariffs. C. The unfair treatment help American families save money. D. Chinese government disagrees with the American tariffs. 16. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A. Tariffs save money for us when buying things from another country B. Some shop owners in America support higher tariffs on Chinese products C. Neither China nor America will get any benefit (益处) from trade wars D. President Donald Trump hopes to solve problems through talks 第二节（共4小题，每小题2分；满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS Be happy!

Ⅴ. 阅读与表达（共4小题，61-63每小题2分；64题4分，满分10分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答所提问题。 From food lovers to learning or travel partners, young people have been looking for new ways to communicate with others and have fun together. A popular way to do so is through dazi socializing (社交). The word “dazi” comes from the Shanghai dialect (方言). People first used it to talk about card-playing friends. Now, it means the partners who join in some activities together. And a dazi is not like a close friend or a family member. People usually don’t have a long and strong relationship with their dazi. These years, more people are trying to look for a dazi to enjoy food, travel, or study. A study of 1,335 young people shows that 72.6 percent have one or more dazi. Nearly 69 percent believe that finding a dazi is a brave step in moving out of their comfort zone (舒适圈) to find a new lifestyle. Xiaomi is one of such people. Xiaomi, born in 1981, is an office worker in Shenzhen. She has looked for travel partners more than once. This March, Xiaomi went to Gansu Province and found a travel partner there. She also found another dazi during the trip. They all had great fun during the journey. “We later started a chat (聊天) group on WeChat (微信), and we shared good books and life experiences in it. At the same time, we shared our daily habits, too. Starting as travel partners, we have become friends. I think I’m lucky.” Xiaomi said. Finding a dazi is not always good, and it can be dangerous sometimes. Remember to be careful and pay attention to your personal safety when you look for a dazi. 41. Where does the word “dazi” come from? ___________________________________ 42. Why do people want to look for a dazi these years? ___________________________________ 43. What did Xiaomi and her travel partners share in the chat group? ___________________________________ 44. Do you want to find a dazi in your daily life? Why?
