What Is a 10-Year Visa? A 10-year visa doesn’t permit you to stay in China for an entire decade; instead, it means that your visa remains valid for ten years. This type of visa allows short stays for tourists or business visits. The duration of each trip varies from 30–120 days based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Reasons to Get a 10-Year Visa for China 1. Convenience: If you frequently travel to China for work or family purposes, having a 10-year travel visa can save you time and trouble by avoiding the need for a visa application process for each trip. 2. Cost-effective: For US citizens, the cost of a 10-year visa is the same as that of other short-term visas. Paying the $140+ fee just once will cover your visa expenses for the next ten years. How to Apply for a 10-Year Visa? 1. Download the visa application form and fill it out. Note: when filling out the application form, please select the “10-Year Visa” option. 2. Submit your documents. 3. Pay the visa application fee and collect your visa. What Documents Do You Need to Apply for a 10-Year Visa? - An original passport valid for six months with blank side-by-side visa pages. - A completed visa application form. - A recent passport photograph. - Proof of a round-trip flight ticket booking record and hotel reservation. 21. How long can a 10-Year Visa holder stay in China for each trip? A. 10 years. B. 30 months. C. 4 months. D. 140 days. 22. What can we learn about applying for a 10-Year Visa? A. It is a good choice for frequent visitors to China. B. There is no nationality restriction at all. C. It is unnecessary to state the reason. D. There is a fee per travel to China. 23. How can an applicant obtain application forms? A. By getting to the embassy. B. By downloading from the Internet. C. By emailing the related department. D. By offering flight ticket booking record. B If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it. I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later?” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life. Evie was a college student, living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease? Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry. I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait. 24. Why did the author become worried at the beginning? A. Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual. C Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone. 25. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played. 26. What do we know about Evie? A. She spent that Saturday with her friends. B. She lived with her classmates in the dorm. C. She failed to ring back her mom in the end. D. She had trouble returning to school timely. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. A college student’s busy academic life. B. The importance of patience in daily life. C. The author’s favorite word for 2022. D. A mother’s deep love for her daughter. C Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper. But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems. Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing. She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.'' Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either. Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.'' Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet. 28. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental? A. Approving. B. Unfavorable. C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic. 29. The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that . A. rental services are on the rise B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber C. renting clothes might waste more than expected D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion 30. The author suggests that we should . A. give up renting any clothing B. purchase inexpensive clothes C. rent clothes rather than buy them D. make full use of clothes we've possessed 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Clothing rental is a new fashion. B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference. C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly. D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma. D Carmakers — including BMW, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot — warned that the worldwide semiconductor processor (半导体处理器) shortage will continue. The shortage has affected both production and sales of automobiles (汽车). Last year, carmakers had to shut down plants because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they have to compete with the consumer electronics industry for the limited supplies that were also affected by the health crisis. Automobiles have become increasingly dependent on processors, also known as chips (芯片). They are needed for computers to help engines with better fuel economy and assist drivers in emergency braking. Without a good supply of chips, carmakers have centered production on higher-profit models. The higher prices keep their businesses going even though they are selling fewer cars. Richard Palmer is the chief financial officer of Stellantis. The company sells cars under 14 brands including Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot. He said the company did not expect chip supply to improve before the last three months of the year. That would mean a production loss of around 1.4 million vehicles for 2021. BMW, so far, has been less affected by the chip shortage than others. That is because of its strong relations with its suppliers. But the German carmaker warned that there will be more problems during the second half of this year. “The longer the supply bottlenecks last, the more tense the situation is likely to become,” BMW chief financial officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement. “We expect production restrictions to continue in the second half of the year. Those restrictions will cause a lower number of sales,” he added. German chip-maker Infineon Technologies confirmed the shortage. The company said the latest wave of COVID-19 cases slows the production of materials in Asia. And the amounts of goods available have now hit all-time lows. Reinhard Ploss is the Chief Executive Officer of Infineon. He told economists that sharply limited supplies are hurting the recovery of worldwide car markets. He observed that “it will take time to get back” to a balance between supply and demand. “In our view, this will take until well into 2022,” he added. 32. How do carmakers deal with reduced sales? A. By improving production technology. B. By selling cars with lower fuel consumption. C. By offering better emergency braking systems. D. By producing high-priced cars. 33. Why does the author mention Richard Palmer and Nicolas Peter? A. To stress the seriousness of the present situation. B. To provide a solution to the reduced sales. C. To convey their expectation of the car production. D. To highlight the importance of chips for carmakers. 34. What’s Reinhard Ploss’ attitude towards car production and sales? A. Hopeful. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Skeptical. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Decline of Car Sales. B. Chip Shortage and its Influence. C. The Restrictions of Production. D. The Balance between Supply and Demand. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and boosts our physical health in surprising and astonishing ways. ____36____ Here are some amazing scientifically-proven benefits of being fond of music.

Today paper cuttings are mainly used for decoration and they have special meaning at Chinese festivals and holidays. There are two kinds of paper cutting knife cutting and scissors cutting. Expert paper cutters draw and cut very complex images in their work. But inexperienced artists can also enjoy the craft using relatively simple patterns. Experts have found evidence of Chinese paper cutting existing as far back as the sixth century. Certain kinds of paper cuttings were buried with the dead were burned at funerals and they were used as offerings to the ancestors and gods. As times changed paper cuttings were used as special decorations during festivals. Today paper cuttings are popular as decorations and paper cutting has become a kind of art. However special designs are still significant at festivals and on holidays. For example, during the lunar new year lucky patterns are cut out and placed in homes to bring good luck.

It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it. I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later?” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life. Evie was a college student, living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease? Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry. I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait. 24. Why did the author become worried at the beginning? A. Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual. C. Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone. 25. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played. 26. What do we know about Evie? A. She spent that Saturday with her friends. B. She lived with her classmates in the dorm. C. She failed to ring back her mom in the end. D. She had trouble returning to school timely. 27. What’s the text mainly about? A. A college student’s busy academic life. B. The importance of patience in daily life. C. The author’s favorite word for 2022. D. A mother’s deep love for her daughter. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了周六，作者找不到女儿Evie，女儿不接电话，这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪，作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later?” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi.(一个星期六，在我女儿Evie按下“我能晚点打给你吗？”自动回复，而不是接手机。两次。我在两个电话之间等了几个小时，那是在早上给她发短信问候之后)”可知，作者一开始会担心是因为她打电话找不到Evie。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble(我没有理由认为伊维真的遇到麻烦了)”以及后文“with one of her friends or was running low on money”可知，but表示转折，说明作者开始想象女儿和朋友发生了争吵，或者手头没钱了。故画线词意思是“争吵”。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed.( Evie那天深夜终于打来了电话。她在一个聚会上，但想在我睡觉前找到我)”可知，Evie和朋友一起度过了那个星期六。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.(如果你像我一样，耐心是一种美德，它不会不劳而获。这需要大量的练习，我花了一年的时间来追求。耐心是我2022年的用词。 也许你还在努力确定你的计划，我很想听听)”以及最后一段中“I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.(我没说我在练习一种全新的等待方式)”结合文章主要讲述了周六，作者找不到女儿Evie，女儿不接电话，这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪，作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是母亲对女儿的深爱。故选D。 C Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper. But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems. Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing. She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.'' Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either. Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.'' Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet. 28. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental? A. Approving. B. Unfavorable. C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic. 29. The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that . A. rental services are on the rise B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber C. renting clothes might waste more than expected D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion 30. The author suggests that we should . A. give up renting any clothing B. purchase inexpensive clothes C. rent clothes rather than buy them D. make full use of clothes we've possessed 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Clothing rental is a new fashion. B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference. C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly. D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma. 【答案】28 B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。服装租赁业是一种新型的流行的产业，并通过克莱因的调查说明了服装租赁业存在的一些缺点，比如相比于直接购买衣服，租衣服在运输方面消耗了更多的碳能源；干洗租赁的衣服会给空气造成污染；还会导致人们急于追求快速时尚，而随意浪费。最后作者提出最好的方法是要穿已经在衣柜里的衣服。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.(记者兼作者Elizabeth Cline调查了这个问题，她总结服装租赁似乎没有看起来那么可持续)可推测，Elizabeth Cline不赞成服装租赁。B. Unfavorable.(不赞成的)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, (有一种叫“共享清洗”的东西，它让人们更精准的浪费，因为一个产品或服务是共享的，因此它被认为是更环保，优步就是其中的一个例子)可知，举Uber 的例子是为了说明服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费。C. renting clothes might waste more than expected(服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费)符合以上说法，故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.( 这儿有一个更好的办法——即穿已经在衣柜里的衣服)可推测，作者建议我们穿自己已经拥有的衣服。D. make full use of clothes we've possessed(充分利用我们已经拥有的衣服)符合以上说法，故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第三段的Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.(克莱因写道，消费者的交通工具的碳足迹仅次于制造业)，第五段的Then there's the burden of washing(此外，还有洗涤的负担)和第六段的Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. (最后，Cline担心租赁服务会增加我们对快速时尚的兴趣，因为它很容易获得)可知，本文主要讲述衣服租赁并不是人们所说的那样环保 C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.(服装租赁没有那么环保)符合以上说法，故选C项。 D Carmakers — including BMW, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot — warned that the worldwide semiconductor processor (半导体处理器) shortage will continue. The shortage has affected both production and sales of automobiles (汽车). Last year, carmakers had to shut down plants because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they have to compete with the consumer electronics industry for the limited supplies that were also affected by the health crisis. Automobiles have become increasingly dependent on processors, also known as chips (芯片). They are needed for computers to help engines with better fuel economy and assist drivers in emergency braking. Without a good supply of chips, carmakers have centered production on higher-profit models. The higher prices keep their businesses going even though they are selling fewer cars. Richard Palmer is the chief financial officer of Stellantis. The company sells cars under 14 brands including Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot. He said the company did not expect chip supply to improve before the last three months of the year. That would mean a production loss of around 1.4 million vehicles for 2021. BMW, so far, has been less affected by the chip shortage than others. That is because of its strong relations with its suppliers. But the German carmaker warned that there will be more problems during the second half of this year. “The longer the supply bottlenecks last, the more tense the situation is likely to become,” BMW chief financial officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement. “We expect production restrictions to continue in the second half of the year. Those restrictions will cause a lower number of sales,” he added. German chip-maker Infineon Technologies confirmed the shortage. The company said the latest wave of COVID-19 cases slows the production of materials in Asia. And the amounts of goods available have now hit all-time lows. Reinhard Ploss is the Chief Executive Officer of Infineon. He told economists that sharply limited supplies are hurting the recovery of worldwide car markets. He observed that “it will take time to get back” to a balance between supply and demand. “In our view, this will take until well into 2022,” he added. 32. How do carmakers deal with reduced sales? A. By improving production technology. B. By selling cars with lower fuel consumption. C. By offering better emergency braking systems. D. By producing high-priced cars. 33. Why does the author mention Richard Palmer and Nicolas Peter? A. To stress the seriousness of the present situation. B. To provide a solution to the reduced sales. C. To convey their expectation of the car production. D. To highlight the importance of chips for carmakers. 34. What’s Reinhard Ploss’ attitude towards car production and sales? A. Hopeful. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Skeptical. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Decline of Car Sales. B. Chip Shortage and its Influence. C. The Restrictions of Production. D. The Balance between Supply and Demand. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球芯片短缺持续冲击汽车产销，车企转产高利润车型维持运营，行业人士预计短缺年内难缓解，供需平衡或2022年后才能恢复。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Without a good supply of chips, carmakers have centered production on higher-profit models. The higher prices keep their businesses going even though they are selling fewer cars. (如果没有充足的芯片供应，汽车制造商便将生产重心转向了利润更高的车型。尽管销量有所下降，但较高的售价仍使他们的业务得以维持。)”可知，汽车制造商通过生产高价汽车应对销量下降这一情况。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Richard Palmer is the chief financial officer of Stellantis. The company sells cars under 14 brands including Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot. He said the company did not expect chip supply to improve before the last three months of the year. That would mean a production loss of around 1.4 million vehicles for 2021. (理查德·帕尔默是斯特兰蒂斯公司的首席财务官。该公司旗下拥有包括菲亚特、克莱斯勒和标致在内的14个汽车品牌。他表示，公司预计在本年度最后三个月之前，芯片供应状况不会有所改善。这意味着2021年的产量将减少约140万辆汽车。)”以及第四段“BMW, so far, has been less affected by the chip shortage than others. That is because of its strong relations with its suppliers. But the German carmaker warned that there will be more problems during the second half of this year. “The longer the supply bottlenecks last, the more tense the situation is likely to become,” BMW chief financial officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement. “We expect production restrictions to continue in the second half of the year. Those restrictions will cause a lower number of sales,” he added. (到目前为止，宝马公司受芯片短缺的影响相对较小，这得益于其与供应商的良好合作关系。但这家德国汽车制造商警告称，今年下半年将会出现更多问题。宝马首席财务官尼古拉斯·彼得在一份声明中表示：“供应瓶颈持续的时间越长，情况就越可能变得紧张。”他补充道：“我们预计下半年的生产限制还将继续。这些限制将导致销量减少。”)”可知，作者提及理查德·帕尔默和尼古拉斯·彼得是为了强调当前形势的严峻性。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He told economists that sharply limited supplies are hurting the recovery of worldwide car markets. (他向经济学家们表示，供应严重短缺正在阻碍全球汽车市场的复苏。)”可知，雷纳德·普洛斯对于汽车生产与销售的态度是担忧的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carmakers — including BMW, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot — warned that the worldwide semiconductor processor (半导体处理器) shortage will continue. The shortage has affected both production and sales of automobiles (汽车). (汽车制造商——包括宝马、菲亚特、克莱斯勒和标致等——警告称，全球半导体处理器短缺的情况将会持续下去。这一短缺问题已经影响到了汽车的生产和销售。)”结合文章主要说明了全球芯片短缺持续冲击汽车产销，车企转产高利润车型维持运营，行业人士预计短缺年内难缓解，供需平衡或2022年后才能恢复。可知，B选项“芯片短缺及其影响”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and boosts our physical health in surprising and astonishing ways. ____36____ Here are some amazing scientifically-proven benefits of being fond of music.
