Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again. 1 ______ It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude. Here's what you need to do: First, know your goal. Start by writing down your major goal. For example, "I want to make honor roll", or "I want to get fit enough to make the cross-country team," or even, "I want to play in the Olympics" are all major goals because they're the final thing the goal setter wants to see happen. 2 ______ That's how people get things done. You just have to remember that the bigger the goal, the more work it takes to get there. Make it specific. It's easier to plan for and master a specific goal than an unclear one. _3_____ That's pretty unclear. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve, why you want to get fit, and by when. This helps you make a plan to reach your goal. 4 ______ People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve within the time-frame you've planned. Competing on the Olympic ski team is a workable goal if you are 15 and already a star skier. But if you're 18 and only just taking your first lesson, time isn't exactly on your side. Break it down. Making any change takes self-discipline. You need to pay constant attention so you don't get sidetracked. _5_____ For example, let's say you want to run a marathon. If it's February and the marathon is in August, that's a realistic time-frame to prepare. Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually to the distance you need. A. Make it realistic. B. It's OK to dream big. C. One way to make this easier is to break a big goal into small steps. D. Let's say your goal is to get fit. E. So how do you stay motivated and on track with your goal? 【答案】1. E 2. B 3. D 4. A 5. C 【导语】本文围绕 “如何保持动力并实现目标” 展开，给出了明确目标、具体化目标、设定合理预期、分解目标等建议。 1. 根据空前 “maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again.”（也许你一开始做得很好，但后来失去了动力，难以重新振作）和空后 “It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude.”（这都归结为良好的规划、现实的期望和坚持不懈的态度）可知，此处应提出 “如何保持动力” 的问题，衔接上下文。E 项 “那么，你如何保持动力并按计划推进目标呢？” 符合语境，引出下文的解决方案。故选 E。 2. 根据空前举例的 “make honor roll”“get fit enough to make the cross-country team”“play in the Olympics” 等远大目标，以及空后 “That's how people get things done. You just have to remember that the bigger the goal, the more work it takes to get there.”（人们就是这样做成事情的。你只需记住，目标越大，需要付出的努力就越多）可知，此处应表示 “有远大梦想是可以的”。B 项 “有远大的梦想是可以的” 符合语境，鼓励设定远大目标，同时为后文 “目标大需更多努力” 做铺垫。故选 B。 3. 根据空前 “It's easier to plan for and master a specific goal than an unclear one.”（规划和实现具体目标比模糊目标更容易）和空后 “That's pretty unclear. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve...”（那很模糊。通过明确你想实现什么来使其具体化）可知，此处应举例一个 “模糊目标”。D 项 “假设你的目标是变得健康” 符合语境，空后 “that” 即指代该模糊目标。故选 D。 4. 根据空后 “People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve...”（人们经常因为期望不合理而放弃目标。保持动力的一部分是对自己在计划时间内所能实现的目标保持现实）可知，此处应提出 “设定现实的目标” 这一建议。A 项 “让它现实一点” 符合语境，是该段的核心观点。故选 A。 5. 根据空前 “Making any change takes self-discipline. You need to pay constant attention so you don't get sidetracked.”（做出任何改变都需要自律。你需要持续关注，以免偏离轨道）和空后 “For example, let's say you want to run a marathon... Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually...”（例如，如果你想跑马拉松…… 先计划跑 2 英里，然后逐渐增加距离）可知，此处应提出 “将大目标分解为小步骤” 的方法。C 项 “让这变得更容易的一个方法是将大目标分解成小步骤” 符合语境，空后例子是对该方法的具体说明。故选 C。 Passage 1 Recently, a very simple question became widely spread(传播) online: 1 A foreign girl living in China gave a very touching answer.

I believe there’re more job chances here than that in any other country in the world.” 3 About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers in all non-English speaking countries. “The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Wuhan to Guangzhou, the train runs 1, 000 kilometers for four hours and the ticket fare is only 460 yuan.” “Its public security (公共安全) is great. 4 I have traveled in many countries, and I think China is really very safe.” “There are many more things China should be proud of. Some Chinese people often criticize (批评) China. At first, I believed that they didn’t like China or loved Western countries.

In those days, farmers did not have many machines to help them. They had animals. 1 This meant that farms were smaller than they are now. Farmers also worked in a different way in the past. In those days, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs and chickens to feed their families. 2 Farmers have a very special life in many ways. First of all, they can’t leave the job at the end of the day. They live on the farm and there is always work to do. Second, a lot of farm work is outdoors, so the weather is very important for farmers. 3 A lot of bad weather means farmers will lose money. Finally, farmers work with plants and animals. They understand nature better than other people do. 4 Spring is a time for planting. Farmers are busy getting the fields ready and then: Planting the seeds (种子). In summer, farmers must take good care of the plants. Some may need water. Other plants may have problems with insects or diseases. Then in fall, the fruits or plants are ready for picking. 5 Winter is a time for rest or for work on the farm machines. A．Farm work changes with the seasons. B．That is a very busy time for farmers. C．But animals work much more slowly than machines. D．It is also important for the success of their farms. E．Today farmers grow things on the farms so they can sell them. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. D 4. A 5.

To fight the disease, scientists have developed different vaccines (疫苗). By now, many people have gotten COVID-19 vaccines. 1 Vaccines help teach the immune system (免疫系统) about what challenges might look like. They prepare the body to fight disease without making you sick. When a germ (病菌) enters the body, the immune system starts working by producing antibodies (抗体). 2 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）of the US, a healthy person can produce millions of antibodies a day, and they work so well that the person never even feels anything However, the first time the body faces a certain germ, it can take several days for the immune system to make and use all the germ-fighting tools to beat the germ. 3 The disease caused by it can be serious and even kill the person before the immune system can fight back. That’s where vaccines come in. Traditionally, vaccines are made using dead or weak germs. They won’t make you sick. 4 Your body starts making antibodies. Then your immune system will remember the germ and when the body meets it again, the immune system produces antibodies fast and beats the germ before it’s too late. After getting vaccines, most of the time, you won’t get the disease at all. But sometimes, you can still get some mild symptoms (轻微症状). 5 When enough people are vaccinated, it means that the disease is not given a chance to spread through a population. So vaccines are not only great for your health, but also they keep communities healthy. A．These antibodies fight with the germ. B．Instead, just the opposite thing happens. C．So, why do we need vaccines? D．How do vaccines work on a community level? E．For a really powerful germ, a few days is too long. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. E 4. B 5. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍疫苗的作用。 1. 根据后文“Vaccines help teach the immune system (免疫系统) about what challenges might look like. They prepare the body to fight disease without making you sick”可知，此处介绍我们需要疫苗的原因，选项C“那么，我们为什么需要疫苗呢”符合语境，故选C。 2. 根据“When a germ (病菌) enters the body, the immune system starts working by producing antibodies”可知，当细菌进入人体时，免疫系统开始产生抗体，此处内容与细菌和抗体相关，选项A“这些抗体与细菌作斗争”符合语境，故选A。 3. 根据“However, the first time the body faces a certain germ, it can take several days for the immune system to make and use all the germ-fighting tools to beat the germ.”可知，当身体第一次面对某种细菌时，免疫系统可能需要几天的时间来构建这种细菌，选项E“对于一个强大的细菌来说，几天太长了”符合语境，故选E。 4. 根据“Traditionally, vaccines are made using dead or weak germs. They won’t make you sick...Your body starts making antibodies”可知，疫苗是用死的或弱的细菌制成的，它们不会让你生病，相反你的身体开始产生抗体。选项B“相反，恰恰相反的事情发生了”符合语境，故选B。 5. 根据“So vaccines are not only great for your health, but also they keep communities healthy”可知，疫苗不仅对你的健康有好处，还能保持社区的健康。选项D“疫苗如何在社区层面发挥作用”符合语境，故选D。 Passage 4 From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. 1 Some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. 2 For example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. 3 Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot of big shots（大人物）who are successful in life without finishing school. 4 Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define（界定）a person’s success by just one section（部分）of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. 5 Keep learning to make the most of your talents（天赋）. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. A．Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. B．In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like.

Just take a walk, no longer than ten minutes. Not only will it clear your mind but it may also improve your brain’s ability to store and recall memories. That is what researchers at the University of California and the University of Tsukuba in Japan found in their latest study. The experiment involved (涉及) 36 participants (参与者) who were in their early 20s. 1 After this, they had a memory test where they were shown pictures of objects like some fruits and vegetables and asked to recall them later. 2 After that they got the results. It was found that people were better at distinguishing (区分) the pictures after 10 minutes of exercise. To take a closer look at what was happening, researchers did brains scans (扫描) on some of the participants to see their brain activity during the experiment. It found that the more a person’s performance improved, 3 The short-term exercise seemed to increase connectivity in the brain area. This showed that an increase in memory power may be possible to achieve. 4 But there were still some problems. 5 The researchers said that this kind of experiment should be used on older adults in future research. A．Then the researchers later repeated the test with the same participants without exercise. B．First, they were instructed to perform an easy form of exercise for 10 minutes. C．It can be achieved with just 10 minutes of easy activity like walking or yoga. D．Since all the participants were relatively young, the results might be different for other age groups.

Are you a person who was born in the year of the Tiger? If you’re not, you must know some people who were born in the Year of the Tiger. 1 Are they brave and strong? If so, then they are typical “tiger”. In Chinese culture, tigers have something to do with power, energy and protection. Tigers are strong animals.

Only 4 in 10, according to a recent survey of 11,500 girls. Of the rest, 19% said they were not pretty, and another 40% said they were not sure. Our survey also found that more than half of girls spent a lot of time thinking about the way they looked. 1 And half of girls said they usually didn’t like the way they looked in a selfie (自拍照). That’s a problem and here’s why: when girls don’t feel attractive, they often don’t feel good about themselves in general. If you only have negative thoughts and feelings about the way you look, it can let a girl down. 2 ●If you feel pressure to be pretty or thin, talk to someone. Your mom is a good choice. ●Take great care of yourself by eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. ● 3 It’s not about looking magazine-cover beautiful. When you hold yourself to impossıble standards, it only tears you down and puts too much focus on being perfect. 4 Then how you look won’t take up so much space in your brain and you can work on other more interesting stuff. Most girls in our survey agree this is a good idea. 5 Then, in time, you’ll achieve a group of things and you’ll feel great about yourself—all and all of you can become beautiful! A．Instead, like your looks. B．Some even said they did this very often. C．Put your energy into what you enjoy. D．Here are some helpful steps to take.

When I asked the class a question, nobody raised a hand to answer. It made me feel like my class was really boring. 2 Finally, I finished my introduction, and it was time for the students to practice. I felt better when I saw that they were able to move most of the chess pieces. However, I found they still had some problems with the knight (马) and the pawn (兵). 3 When the class was over, I felt like I was really poor at teaching others. In the evening, I reflected on my lesson. What did I do well? Why my lesson was not good enough? I thought about these questions, and then I practiced more for my second class. 4 I spoke more smoothly and my students showed more interest in my lesson. When the class was over, they all wanted to play chess with me. 5 This meant they had learned the game successfully and they were interested in playing it! I was happy. My efforts really paid off! Before I returned to school, I left eleven sets of chess for my students. I hope they will play chess forever and have fun with it. A．To my surprise, they all played it correctly!

Here are some useful tips. They don’t take long to practice, yet will help you remember better. 2 The most important reason why people can’t remember other people’s names is that they don’t pay enough attention to the names. Their brains are filled with some other thoughts during the introduction. So next time when you want to remember a name, a place, or any other information, try to pay more attention. Avoid multitasking (多重任务). Multitasking seems normal and necessary in such a busy world. However, studies have shown that 98% of people can really only pay attention to one activity at a time. When multitasking, you are switching attention between different activities. As a result, you lose some information easily. 3 Get your blood flowing and bring O2 to your brain. Your brain needs good blood flow and O2 to work well. 4 Do at least twenty minutes of aerobic exercise every day. When you are preparing for an exam, don’t sit at your desk all day. Study for 20 to 30 minutes and then do some 5-to-10-minute exercise. Improve memory by self-testing. Let’s say you want to remember the important parts of an article or a book. Prepare a list of questions that you are going to test yourself on. 5 You can further improve on this by answering the questions again the next day, and then two days later… So, which memory improvement tip will you start with? A．The best way to get this is by moving your body. B．Pay more attention to what you want to remember. C．The more often you switch, the more you are going to lose. D．It is about learning how brain works and making good use of it. E．After finishing reading, take a short break and answer the questions. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. A 5.

There he saw how difficult it was for his parents to work in traditional farming ways. Things have been changed since Yang returned to his hometown to be a farmer after finishing university. 2 Surprisingly, he found pesticide spraying (喷洒杀虫剂) by drones was much quicker and easier. At the same time, it was cheaper than by other machines. He thought it was a great business of using drones in farming. 3 In 2020, he set up his own company and there were 13 drone workers. Now, in busy growing seasons, they fly their drones over the fields to help farmers watch the growth of the cotton and do some pesticide spraying, while in the off-seasons, they train people to use drones. This is not only helpful to make more people know how to farm better but also provides a chance for them to get more money with the help of new technology and modern machines. 4 “As we all know, about 90% of China’s cotton comes from Xinjiang,” he says. “As a young farmer, I will set a good example for more young people. I hope they can join us and spread drone technology so that farmers can save costs while increasing production. 5 And I want to lead the villagers to a better future.” 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．So far, his team has trained over 400 people. B．Yang was born into a family of cotton farmers in Xinjiang. C．He saw drones working over the fields by accident in 2018. D．In 2019, he joined a drone driving training class and got the license.

It describes many threats (威胁) to the environment. The situation is so serious that we must do something to save the Earth. The greenhouse effect The writers ask us to imagine that the Earth is inside a kind of greenhouse with the atmosphere (大气层) around it. The atmosphere acts like the glass: It lets sunlight in and keeps warmth from getting out. The atmosphere is essential (必需的) for all living things. 1 . The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals in the form of gases and it is keeping in too much heat! 2 . The greenhouse effect may cause the level of the sea to rise and flood cities and even whole countries. Destruction (破坏) of rainforests The burning and cutting down of the forests is making the greenhouse effect worse, 3 . It also causes soil erosion (侵蚀) and flooding. As a result, it may destroy the homes of people and animals that live in the forests. Bad habits Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. 4 . We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it pollutes our land and sea. For example, people throw away as many as seven billion drink cans in Britain each year. That is enough to reach from the Earth to the moon. 5 The book is asking us to become “green consumers”.

If we say someone “has face”, it means that he/she has a good reputation (名声) in the eyes of others. 2 For example, actions or words that show no respect (尊重) to a person may cause him/her to “lose face”, while sending gifts or giving praise to a person may “give face” to him/her. It’s quite easy to find things about “face” in Chinese people’s lives. Just go out to eat with a big Chinese group. Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal. 3 Also, he/she needs to order more food than necessary. If you have cleared your plate, he/she will order more food to “save face”. But in order not to waste food, you need to take the rest away. “Face” is a big thing for the Chinese. What are you supposed to do to make others feel that they “have enough face”? First, don’t refuse an invitation to an event directly. 4 Third, don’t disagree with or question someone’s decision in public. Do you still find it hard to understand “face”? 5 There is nothing good or bad in the matter of “face”, as long as you don’t act against others’ interests or make them feel hurt. A．Well, don’t worry. B．What’s more, “face” can be given or taken away. C．We can see it clearly on nearly every Chinese person. D．If he/she seldom or never does that, he/she will “lose face”. E．Second, avoid pointing out someone’s mistakes in front of others. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. E 5. A 【导语】本文讲了“面子”在中国文化中至关重要，影响着人们的言行举止。 1. 根据“the idea of ‘face’ is far more deeply rooted (根深蒂固的) in Chinese people’s mind”可知，前文提到“face”在中国人心中根深蒂固，接下来应该是说明这种现象的普遍性，选项C“我们几乎可以在每个中国人身上清楚地看到它。”符合语境。故选C。 2. 根据“For example, actions or words that show no respect (尊重) to a person may cause him/her to ‘lose face’, while sending gifts or giving praise to a person may “give face” to him/her.”可知，此处与“丢面子和赢得面子”有关，选项B“而且，‘面子’可以被给予或剥夺。”符合语境。故选B。 3. 根据“Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal.”可知，此处与“付钱”有关，选项D“如果他/她很少或从不这样做，他/她会‘丢面子’。”符合语境。故选D。 4. 根据“First”及“Third”可知，此处讲第二点，选项E“第二，避免在别人面前指出某人的错误。”符合语境。故选E。 5. 根据“Do you still find it hard to understand ‘face’?”及“There is nothing good or bad in the matter of ‘face”可知，此处讲“没关系”，选项A“好吧，别担心。”符合语境。故选A。 Passage 1 Can you play basketball? Some people may think it is too competitive. However, it offers many benefits for both mind and body. Whether you are playing with friends or joining a team, basketball helps you stay positive (积极的)，build skills, and develop good habits. 1 . It’s a good way to stay fit. 2 . Running, jumping, and dribbling (运球) during a game help you to keep healthy. As a player, you must also move quickly while controlling the ball and avoiding competitors. It’s a team sport. Teamwork is the key. 3 . You have to trust and support each other during matches. Pass the ball when someone is in a better position (位置). Each member has to do their part to help the team win. Remember, no one can win alone. 4 . The speedy nature of the game requires focus (专注) and quick decision-making. New difficulties always appear during a game. You have to think on your feet and keep cool in all situations. So you need to think of ways to face and overcome difficulties. And that helps you solve problems in your daily life. It improves communication. Stay connected with your teammates during matches. If you have a winning idea, tell your teammates! 5 . Communication is an important part of basketball. The winning team is the one that works together and communicates well. Basketball isn’t all about athletic (运动的) ability. The game is also about using your brains and good teamwork.

Get your term started right by practicing these strategies, and your learning efficiency will improve. Get organized. 1 Develop a system at the start of your term. This may include: color coded notebooks for each subject, a planner with important dates and deadlines filled out and so on. If you keep track of deadlines, know where to find everything, and keep a well-organized space, you free up your mind to focus on learning. Get into a routine. Like being organized, establishing a routine helps your life run smoothly. It’s easier said than done, but try waking up and going to sleep around the same time each day. Schedule time for the gym, any clubs or activities you participate in, and studying. 2 Choose a time of day when you feel especially productive. 3 Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” It may sound dramatic, but it’s true that the people you spend the most time with have a major influence on you. Try to make at least one positive friend in every class. Meet ambitious people with clearly defined goals, good study habits, and healthy lifestyles. These friends can help you stay responsible. 4 Take good care of yourself. Finally, remember to practice self-care and healthy habits. When you eat poorly and don’t get enough sleep, it impacts your mood and your mind. 5 And you’ll have a tough time learning new concepts. Obviously, this is not helpful for a successful term.

Here are five ways you can frequently practice to be optimistic. ● Be present every day The majority of negative thoughts are about the past and future, which can’t be changed. To be present, you need to exactly figure out whether they are in the past, present or future and bring them back into the moment. 1 ● Give thanks The thoughts of giving thanks can help improve your body functions and overall happiness. Start by writing down at least three things you’re thankful for each day. 2 This practice could transform into a formal habit of recalling things you’re grateful for and writing them down. ● Laugh out loud Laughter really is fantastic medicine. Loud laughs can calm the brain’s stress center. Watch one of your favorite TV plays or even try laughter yoga. It might be a good choice to reach out to others for help to laugh out loud. 3 It can help lift your mood during difficult times. 4 Acts of kindness can increase your sense of well-being. Even something as simple as giving someone a smile can leave you both feeling happier. Challenge yourself to do at least one kind thing for someone else each day, such as buying a stranger a cup of coffee or donating to a cause that matters to you. ● Find time to exercise Exercise produces pleasurable brain chemicals and relieves bad emotions. When you participate in physical activities that bring you joy, your thinking will clear. If it’s hard to find time to get to the gym, there are many exercise videos you can follow online. 5 Then you’ll likely feel more positive afterward. A．Spread love and kindness. B．Try to focus on what’s in front of you. C．The main goal is to break a sweat and do it regularly. D．Doing that helps you recognize the little good things surrounding you. E．Having a positive network of friends or family can really make a difference. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. E 4. A 5.

Even something as simple as giving someone a smile can leave you both feeling happier. Challenge yourself to do at least one kind thing for someone else each day, such as buying a stranger a cup of coffee or donating to a cause that matters to you.(善意的行为可以增加你的幸福感。即使是像给别人一个微笑这样简单的事情也能让你们俩都感觉更快乐。挑战自己，每天至少为别人做一件好事，比如给陌生人买杯咖啡，或者为你觉得重要的事情捐款)”可知，此处应填入与“善举”或“传递爱与善良”相关的内容。选项A“Spread love and kindness(传递爱与善良)”直接点明了本段的主题，即通过善举来传递爱与善良，这与后文提到的“善举可以增加你的幸福感”相呼应。故选A。 5. 根据上文“Exercise produces pleasurable brain chemicals and relieves bad emotions.

Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again. 1 ______ It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude. Here's what you need to do: First, know your goal. Start by writing down your major goal. For example, "I want to make honor roll", or "I want to get fit enough to make the cross-country team," or even, "I want to play in the Olympics" are all major goals because they're the final thing the goal setter wants to see happen. 2 ______ That's how people get things done. You just have to remember that the bigger the goal, the more work it takes to get there. Make it specific. It's easier to plan for and master a specific goal than an unclear one. _3_____ That's pretty unclear. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve, why you want to get fit, and by when. This helps you make a plan to reach your goal. 4 ______ People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve within the time-frame you've planned. Competing on the Olympic ski team is a workable goal if you are 15 and already a star skier. But if you're 18 and only just taking your first lesson, time isn't exactly on your side. Break it down. Making any change takes self-discipline. You need to pay constant attention so you don't get sidetracked. _5_____ For example, let's say you want to run a marathon. If it's February and the marathon is in August, that's a realistic time-frame to prepare. Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually to the distance you need. A. Make it realistic. B. It's OK to dream big. C. One way to make this easier is to break a big goal into small steps. D. Let's say your goal is to get fit. E. So how do you stay motivated and on track with your goal? Passage 1 Recently, a very simple question became widely spread(传播) online: 1 A foreign girl living in China gave a very touching answer. Lan Lan, whose real name is Negar Kordi, is from Canada. She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University. Now she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing. Lanlan loves China and Chinese. 2 And that’s why she is so well accepted among Chinese net friends. The following is China in her eye. “It is the easiest country in which to find a job. If you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China. I believe there’re more job chances here than that in any other country in the world.” 3 About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers in all non-English speaking countries. “The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Wuhan to Guangzhou, the train runs 1, 000 kilometers for four hours and the ticket fare is only 460 yuan.” “Its public security (公共安全) is great. 4 I have traveled in many countries, and I think China is really very safe.” “There are many more things China should be proud of. Some Chinese people often criticize (批评) China. At first, I believed that they didn’t like China or loved Western countries. But later, I realized that they just set a very high standard (标准) for China. 5 China must be much better than other countries.” A．The ability of foreign language is amazing. B．This country of 1.4 billion people makes me feel safe. C．What should China be proud (自豪的) of ? D．They believe that it’s not enough for China to be number one in the world. E．She believes China will be the strongest country in the world in the future. Passage 2 Farming in the USA today is very different from that 100 years ago. In those days, farmers did not have many machines to help them. They had animals. 1 This meant that farms were smaller than they are now. Farmers also worked in a different way in the past. In those days, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs and chickens to feed their families. 2 Farmers have a very special life in many ways. First of all, they can’t leave the job at the end of the day. They live on the farm and there is always work to do. Second, a lot of farm work is outdoors, so the weather is very important for farmers. 3 A lot of bad weather means farmers will lose money. Finally, farmers work with plants and animals. They understand nature better than other people do. 4 Spring is a time for planting. Farmers are busy getting the fields ready and then: Planting the seeds (种子). In summer, farmers must take good care of the plants. Some may need water. Other plants may have problems with insects or diseases. Then in fall, the fruits or plants are ready for picking. 5 Winter is a time for rest or for work on the farm machines. A．Farm work changes with the seasons. B．That is a very busy time for farmers. C．But animals work much more slowly than machines. D．It is also important for the success of their farms. E．Today farmers grow things on the farms so they can sell them. Passage 3 COVID-19 is still spreading around the world. To fight the disease, scientists have developed different vaccines (疫苗). By now, many people have gotten COVID-19 vaccines. 1 Vaccines help teach the immune system (免疫系统) about what challenges might look like. They prepare the body to fight disease without making you sick. When a germ (病菌) enters the body, the immune system starts working by producing antibodies (抗体). 2 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）of the US, a healthy person can produce millions of antibodies a day, and they work so well that the person never even feels anything However, the first time the body faces a certain germ, it can take several days for the immune system to make and use all the germ-fighting tools to beat the germ. 3 The disease caused by it can be serious and even kill the person before the immune system can fight back. That’s where vaccines come in. Traditionally, vaccines are made using dead or weak germs. They won’t make you sick. 4 Your body starts making antibodies. Then your immune system will remember the germ and when the body meets it again, the immune system produces antibodies fast and beats the germ before it’s too late. After getting vaccines, most of the time, you won’t get the disease at all. But sometimes, you can still get some mild symptoms (轻微症状). 5 When enough people are vaccinated, it means that the disease is not given a chance to spread through a population. So vaccines are not only great for your health, but also they keep communities healthy. A．These antibodies fight with the germ. B．Instead, just the opposite thing happens. C．So, why do we need vaccines? D．How do vaccines work on a community level? E．For a really powerful germ, a few days is too long. Passage 4 From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. 1 Some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. 2 For example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. 3 Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot of big shots（大人物）who are successful in life without finishing school. 4 Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define（界定）a person’s success by just one section（部分）of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. 5 Keep learning to make the most of your talents（天赋）. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. A．Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. B．In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like. C．However, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects. D．If you are still studying, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. E．They seize（抓住）every chance to learn and finally make it to the top. Passage 5 Are you nervous about a big test at school or your performance at work? Just take a walk, no longer than ten minutes. Not only will it clear your mind but it may also improve your brain’s ability to store and recall memories. That is what researchers at the University of California and the University of Tsukuba in Japan found in their latest study. The experiment involved (涉及) 36 participants (参与者) who were in their early 20s. 1 After this, they had a memory test where they were shown pictures of objects like some fruits and vegetables and asked to recall them later. 2 After that they got the results. It was found that people were better at distinguishing (区分) the pictures after 10 minutes of exercise. To take a closer look at what was happening, researchers did brains scans (扫描) on some of the participants to see their brain activity during the experiment. It found that the more a person’s performance improved, 3 The short-term exercise seemed to increase connectivity in the brain area. This showed that an increase in memory power may be possible to achieve. 4 But there were still some problems. 5 The researchers said that this kind of experiment should be used on older adults in future research. A．Then the researchers later repeated the test with the same participants without exercise. B．First, they were instructed to perform an easy form of exercise for 10 minutes. C．It can be achieved with just 10 minutes of easy activity like walking or yoga. D．Since all the participants were relatively young, the results might be different for other age groups. E．the more of these physical changes took place in their brains. Passage 6 A Country Music Song Changed Her Life Forever When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. 1 She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music. 2 Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another. 3 Sarah hasn’t been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. 4 She knows that there is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. “Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. 5 I hope to see him sing live one day!”   根据短文内容，将下列句子还原到短文中，使短文完整、通顺。 A．It reminds us that the best things in life are free—laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside. B．He’s sold more than 120 million records. C．Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. D．It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. E．She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. Passage 1 Do you know dragons? They are a symbol of China. Have you watched the dragon dance? How much do you know about it? 1 In Chinese culture, the dragon dance is a form of traditional dance. In the dance, a team of people carry the dragon and perform wonderful dances. Like the lion dance, this traditional dance has spread all over China and the whole world. The history of the dragon dance 2 It was started by the Chinese who had great respect (尊重) for the dragon. The dragon dance was already a popular event in the Song Dynasty. At that time, people could often see it during important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to give a performance in Beijing. 3 4 In the past, people used wood, bamboo and a special cloth to make dragons. So they were always quite heavy. However, in modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of much lighter materials. 5 It can be 25 to 35 meters long for acrobatic (杂技的) acts, and up to 50 to 70 meters long for quite large parades (游行) because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small group can’t control a very long dragon because it requires great strength (力量) and special skills. A．The dragon dance itself began in the Han Dynasty. B．And the emperor was quite glad to see the performance. C．A dragon can be of different lengths. D．What’s the dragon dance? E．What do dragons look like? Passage 2 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 2022 is the year of the Tiger. Are you a person who was born in the year of the Tiger? If you’re not, you must know some people who were born in the Year of the Tiger. 1 Are they brave and strong? If so, then they are typical “tiger”. In Chinese culture, tigers have something to do with power, energy and protection. Tigers are strong animals. In China, you can often see pictures of tigers on the walls of temples and houses. 2 That’s because Chinese people believe that pictures of tigers can drive away bad things. Tigers play an important role in Chinese culture. 3 For example, in the Republic of Korea, the tiger is a symbol of fairness and honesty in folk tales. A tiger is also on the badge (徽章) of the national soccer team of the Republic of Korea. In Chinese culture, tigers are the kings of all animals. However, things are different in some Western countries. 4 In the past, they called brave soldiers “lions”. In Europe, the lion is a national symbol of England as well as for Norway, Spain, Belgium and 13 other countries. 5 Let’s take “easy tiger” as an example. In English, if you want someone to calm down and don’t want him or her to get angry or nervous, you can say “easy tiger” to them. That means “calm down” or “take it easy”. A．What are they like? B．There are some interesting expressions about tigers. C．Why do people love to use those pictures of tigers? D．They also have an important culture meaning in some other Asian countries. E．The Westerners think that lions are the king of all animals. Passage 3 How many girls think they are beautiful or pretty? Only 4 in 10, according to a recent survey of 11,500 girls. Of the rest, 19% said they were not pretty, and another 40% said they were not sure. Our survey also found that more than half of girls spent a lot of time thinking about the way they looked. 1 And half of girls said they usually didn’t like the way they looked in a selfie (自拍照). That’s a problem and here’s why: when girls don’t feel attractive, they often don’t feel good about themselves in general. If you only have negative thoughts and feelings about the way you look, it can let a girl down. 2 ●If you feel pressure to be pretty or thin, talk to someone.

Passage 4 At the beginning of this summer holiday, I took part in a Anxi Children Palace as a volunteer teacher. 1 I was so nervous during my first class that I couldn’t introduce chess as clearly as I had performed before. When I asked the class a question, nobody raised a hand to answer. It made me feel like my class was really boring. 2 Finally, I finished my introduction, and it was time for the students to practice. I felt better when I saw that they were able to move most of the chess pieces. However, I found they still had some problems with the knight (马) and the pawn (兵). 3 When the class was over, I felt like I was really poor at teaching others. In the evening, I reflected on my lesson. What did I do well? Why my lesson was not good enough? I thought about these questions, and then I practiced more for my second class. 4 I spoke more smoothly and my students showed more interest in my lesson. When the class was over, they all wanted to play chess with me. 5 This meant they had learned the game successfully and they were interested in playing it! I was happy. My efforts really paid off!

Passage 6 Yang Haoran’s job is probably every little boy’s dream: the young man spends most of his days flying drones (无人机) over the fields. 1 He spent his childhood playing in the cotton fields. There he saw how difficult it was for his parents to work in traditional farming ways. Things have been changed since Yang returned to his hometown to be a farmer after finishing university. 2 Surprisingly, he found pesticide spraying (喷洒杀虫剂) by drones was much quicker and easier. At the same time, it was cheaper than by other machines. He thought it was a great business of using drones in farming. 3 In 2020, he set up his own company and there were 13 drone workers. Now, in busy growing seasons, they fly their drones over the fields to help farmers watch the growth of the cotton and do some pesticide spraying, while in the off-seasons, they train people to use drones. This is not only helpful to make more people know how to farm better but also provides a chance for them to get more money with the help of new technology and modern machines. 4 “As we all know, about 90% of China’s cotton comes from Xinjiang,” he says. “As a young farmer, I will set a good example for more young people. I hope they can join us and spread drone technology so that farmers can save costs while increasing production. 5 And I want to lead the villagers to a better future.” 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．So far, his team has trained over 400 people.

The atmosphere acts like the glass: It lets sunlight in and keeps warmth from getting out. The atmosphere is essential (必需的) for all living things. 1 . The trouble is that our atmosphere is changing because we are polluting it with chemicals in the form of gases and it is keeping in too much heat! 2 .

Bad habits Many of our habits cause pollution, especially our habit of using things once and then throwing them away. 4 . We do not know what to do with the rubbish and it pollutes our land and sea. For example, people throw away as many as seven billion drink cans in Britain each year. That is enough to reach from the Earth to the moon. 5 The book is asking us to become “green consumers”. That means we should only buy and use environmentally friendly goods so that we can save the Earth. These goods will not damage the environment.

It’s quite easy to find things about “face” in Chinese people’s lives. Just go out to eat with a big Chinese group. Usually, the person who invites you for dinner is expected to pay for the meal. 3 Also, he/she needs to order more food than necessary. If you have cleared your plate, he/she will order more food to “save face”. But in order not to waste food, you need to take the rest away. “Face” is a big thing for the Chinese. What are you supposed to do to make others feel that they “have enough face”? First, don’t refuse an invitation to an event directly. 4 Third, don’t disagree with or question someone’s decision in public.
