In some parts of China, mainly in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, spread groups of grey-tiled and white-walled houses, forming one of the most typical scenes captured in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. It is Hui-style architecture, one of the major Chinese architectural styles of ancient times.
Hui-style architecture developed into a significant building school in the Song Dynasty. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, gardens and houses constructed with Hui styles developed very quickly along with the success of Hui commerce (商业). Hui-style architecture soon stepped out from Huizhou and was introduced to big towns.
Hui-style architecture is characterized by the arrangement of villages together with nature, and a simple and beautiful exterior (外观).
Hui-style houses are usually ones with skylights (天井). With a square skylight surrounded by houses from four sides or from left, right and backside, these houses can reduce the beat of sunshine and enjoy ventilation (通风). All the houses gathers water from the skylight which means fortune will not run off outside.
In ancient times, the colors used for buildings were very strict Bright colors could only be used in palaces, temples and for government officials. So people in Huizhou chose the black and white colors to paint their houses.
Generally speaking, the exterior appearance of Hui-style buildings differs little while their interior can vary a lot based on the wishes of the owners. Home decoration is characterized by three types of Hui carving: stone carving, wood carving and brick carving.
To take a look at the Hui-style architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County, Anhui Province, is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui houses, and one of the “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui” that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Scientists have created the first lab-grown coffee, which they say “smells and tastes like the real thing”. The Finland-based researchers used a process called cellublar agriculture, which includes taking out cells from a small plant or animal sample. In the latest example of lab-grown options, cell samples were taken from Arabica, a popular coffee plant that makes up 56 per cent of global production. With lab-grown coffee, the researchers say that they can deal with problems facing the global coffee industry, such as a need for clearing space for coffee plants to keep up with an increasing need for the drink worldwide.
The research is being conducted at VTT Technical Research Centre based in Espoo, Finland — the country that drinks the most coffee per person. “The process uses read coffee plant cells,” Dr. Heiko Rischer, head of plant biotechnology at Finland’s VTT research center, said. “At first, a cell culture is started from a plant part, for example, a leaf. The formed cells reproduced on a specific nutrient medium. In the end, the cells are transported to a bioreactor from which the biomass is then harvested. The cells are dried and roasted then coffee can be brewed.”
The first collection produced by VTT in their laboratory smells and tastes like traditional coffee, according to the results of a “sensory analysis”. After drinking a cup, Dr. Rischer said, “There is a surprisingly full smell. In terms of smell and taste, our trained sensory judgement and analytical examination has found the coffee bears similarity to ordinary coffee,” he said. “The experience of drinking the very first cup was exciting.”
The idea that coffee cells could be used to make coffee was presented back in 1974 by plant scientist P.M. Townsley. But the VTT scientists have put the theory into practice with their lab-grown brew, which they think could hit the market by 2025.
8. What might be one of the causes of creating lab-grown coffee?
A. Dr. Heiko has been devoted to genetically engineering.
B. There exists an increasing demand market of coffee.
C. People in Finland drink the most amount of coffee.
D. The idea is based on a theory proving to be practical.
9. What does the underline word “brewed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Produced. B. Designed. C. Collected. D. Measured.
10. What advantage does the lab-grown coffee have over the traditional one?
A. Lab-grown coffee makes people drinking it more excited.
B. Lab-grown coffee can be judged through people’s senses.
C. Lab-grown coffee tastes and smells better than ordinary coffee.
D. Lab-grown coffee can be made in labs and therefore save space.
11. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To praise scientists sticking with creation. B. To solve coffee shortage troubling people.
C. To introduce a new kind of Arabica coffee. D. To present a research on man- made coffee.

In the spring of 1990, I was at a racing event in Columbus, Ohio, and the guy who was hosting said, “Hey, do you want to see my new baby?” I said, “Sure.” We went out and there it was, a little red sports car. I asked if I could sit in it and when I did, I put my left hand on the steering wheel and my right on the shifter. I said to myself, “It just feels right.”
Soon after, I started seeing billboards and print advertisements. Mazda’s motto for the new car was, “It just feels right.” Total coincidence (巧合). At the time, I was under contract (合约) to race with Ford Motor Co., and so I always had Ford cars. I didn’t need a new car, but I bought one anyway — a Miata from its very first model year.
There wasn’t anything like the Miata at the time — a new, small, two-seat convertible sports car. And this one hit every mark. It had cool style, it was affordable, it had durability (耐用), performance, and economy. I was living in South Florida and it was a perfect place to drive with the top down. The car loved to go fast. I certainly got some tickets for speeding. It was the kind of car that made you want to go into garage (车库) so you could say good night to it.
Now, so many years later, I can look back and say that I have never owned any car for more than three years except this one, which I have owned for over three decades. It amazes me that when I first saw it, I’d never heard of the Miata. Now you see them everywhere, and it has its own successful racing series, the MX-5 Cup.
About five years ago, I was going to visit my daughter who lived in San Francisco, and I learned that Tom Matano—who led the design of this car for Mazda — was working in San Francisco. I made an appointment and I met him. To me, it was like meeting Enzo Ferrari if you are a Ferrari nut. He turned out to be the most modest, delightful human being, and it was an honor to get to know him. These days I still drive the Miata to its fullest. Recently I went on a road trip with one of my favorite girlfriends. We were on a straight road that had no speed limit. I was hauling at 120mph. The car was happy as a camper, as they say, and so was its driver.
12. Which of the following best describes the author’s Miata?
A. Attractive and tough. B. Modern and large.
C. Small and traditional. D. Fashionable and expensive.
13. What can we know about the author from the passage?
A. She was the designer of Mazda. B. She preferred Ford to Mazda.
C. She once worked with Tom Matano. D. She thought highly of Miata.
14. Why does the author mention Enzo Ferrari in the last paragraph?
A. To recommend a new car. B. To explain her routine.
C. To express her excitement. D. To introduce Enzo Ferrari.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Becoming a fan of Ferrari B. “Feeling right” in my Miata
C. “Feeling proud” in my Ford D. Dreaming of having a Mazda

Four Ways to Beat the Monday Blues
For most workers and students, Monday is the toughest day, which implies that the happy weekend is over, while the new week of work and study has just begun. However, Monday always comes as usual. ____1____ The following four tips can help you greet the coming week full of energy.
____2____ Instead of focusing on the difficult tasks that lie ahead of you, you can make a list by writing down some things that you are looking forward to. A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend.
Sleep has a huge effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor sleep can cause easy anger and stress, while healthy sleep can increase well-being.” So, next time if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer.____3____It’s worth taking this into consideration on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning.
Don’t underestimate(低估)the power of clothing. In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.____4____
Keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. After a weekend of fun, don’t give yourself a too tight schedule, please take it easy.____5____It means putting some time into the easier tasks. Putting less pressure on yourself is a good way to beat the Monday Blues.
A. Just do small and easy things.
B. Think about all the good to come.
C. Since you can’t escape, you’d better face it bravely!
D. This doesn’t mean sitting around and being lost in your blues.
E. Reduce Monday Blues by allowing yourself to do everything with more ease.
F. In short, nothing is better than wearing what makes you feel great on Monday!
G. Take a nap to energize or get to bed earlier tonight to make up for sleep.
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主语介绍了四种战胜周一忧郁症的方法。
【详解】1.根据上文“However, Monday always comes as usual.”(然而,星期一总是像以往那样到来。)可知,周一总是会来的,所以空处应该是描写,我们要勇敢面对它,C项“Since you can’t escape, you’d better face it bravely”(既然你逃不了,你最好勇敢地面对它。)符合,承接上文,故选C。
2.分析文章结构可知,第一段点名主题,第二,三,四,五段,每段分别介绍了一种战胜周一忧郁症的方法,且每段第一句是主题句,所以该处为段落主题句。根据下文“Instead of focusing on the difficult tasks that lie ahead of you, you can make a list by writing down some things that you are looking forward to. A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend.”(与其把注意力集中在你面前的困难任务上,你可以列一个清单,写下一些你期待的事情。你可以从以下每一类中让你感到兴奋的事情开始:工作中,下班后,周末。)可知,本段主要讲你可以列举你向往的美好事情。所以B项“Think about all the good to come.”(想想所有即将到来的美好事物。)符合语境。故选B。
3.根据上文“So, next time if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer.”(所以,下次如果你发现自己比平时脾气更暴躁,睡眠可能就是答案。)可知,此处指睡眠能改善自己脾气暴躁的情况,所以可以推断出空处应该描写如何睡觉能改善脾气不好的情况,G项“Take a nap to energize or get to bed earlier tonight to make up for lost sleep”(睡个午觉以补充能量或今晚早点上床睡觉来弥补失眠。)符合,承接上文,故选G。
4.根据上文“In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.”(事实上,心理学家得出结论,衣服和情绪之间的紧密联系表明,我们应该穿上与快乐有关的衣服,即使是在情绪低落的时候。)可知,本段主要讲衣服会影响情绪,所以要穿令你快乐的衣服,F项“In short, nothing is better than wearing what makes you feel great on Monday!”(简而言之,在周一穿着让你感觉很棒的衣服这比什么最重要!)符合,对上文进行总结。故选F。
5.根据上文“After a weekend of fun, don’t give yourself a too tight schedule, please take it easy.”(度过一个愉快的周末之后,不要给自己安排太紧的时间,请放松。)可知,此处指出我们要在愉快的周末后,要放松,所以可以推断出,空处应该是承接上文,对具体描述如何在愉快的周末后放松,D项“This doesn’t mean sitting around and being lost in your blues.”(这并不意味着坐在那里,沉浸在忧郁之中。)符合,承接上文,同时选项中“This doesn’t mean”与下文“It means”相呼应。故选D。
二、完形填空

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国女排及其精神。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意:众所周知,中国女排自1981年第一次获得冠军以来,一直是国家的骄傲。分析句子结构可知,“It’s well known that+句子”是固定句型,空处在that引导的主语从句中作谓语,since意为“自从……以来”,通常与现在完成时连用。且that从句中的主语是Chinese women’s volleyball team(中国女排),是第三人称单数,因此用现在完成时has been。故填has been。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:但几乎没有人知道她们是多么努力地付出,才让比赛看起来那么轻松。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,空处是非谓语动词作目的状语,应用动词不定式to make。故填to make。
3.考查定语从句。句意:电影《夺冠》于2020年9月25日在中国大陆上映,讲述了中国女排的幕后故事。分析句子结构可知,“____3____hit Chinese mainland on Sept 25, 2020”是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Leap(《夺冠》),指物,且在定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
4.考查介词。句意:它展示了几代排球运动员,以及她们成为国际强队的历程。a journey to...是固定搭配,表示“通往……的旅途”。故填to。
5.考查形容词。句意:最吸引人的不仅是她们令人印象深刻的技巧,还有她们在比赛中表现出来的精神力量。此处应用形容词impressive修饰名词skills(技巧),作定语,意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:为了赢得比赛,中国女排队员刻苦训练,过着每天都不停训练的单调生活。分析句子结构可知,空处是非谓语动词作状语,动词live的逻辑主语是主句主语China’s ladies(中国女排队员),且二者之间构成逻辑上的主动关系,因此用现在分词living。故填living。
7.考查副词。句意:然而,她们拒绝停止工作,即使在体育场的灯熄灭之后。分析前后句子的逻辑关系可知,此处表示转折关系,逗号与主句分开,所以应用副词however,意为“然而”,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填However。
8.考查不定冠词。句意:通往冠军的道路并非一帆风顺。句中one指的是“one road”,且此处泛指“一条道路”,所以应用不定冠词,且smooth的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
9.考查强调句。句意:正是她们永不放弃的精神和坚定的决心使她们走过了40年的风风雨雨。分析句子可知,“their spirits of never giving up and the strong determination”为句子的主语,被It is…that强调句型强调。故填that。
10.考查副词。句意:它逐渐成为中国人心中的一个传说。空处应用副词gradually修饰谓语,意为“逐渐地”。故填gradually。

In some parts of China, mainly in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, spread groups of grey-tiled and white-walled houses, forming one of the most typical scenes captured in traditional Chinese landscape paintings. It is Hui-style architecture, one of the major Chinese architectural styles of ancient times.
Hui-style architecture developed into a significant building school in the Song Dynasty. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, gardens and houses constructed with Hui styles developed very quickly along with the success of Hui commerce (商业). Hui-style architecture soon stepped out from Huizhou and was introduced to big towns.
Hui-style architecture is characterized by the arrangement of villages together with nature, and a simple and beautiful exterior (外观).
Hui-style houses are usually ones with skylights (天井). With a square skylight surrounded by houses from four sides or from left, right and backside, these houses can reduce the beat of sunshine and enjoy ventilation (通风). All the houses gathers water from the skylight which means fortune will not run off outside.
In ancient times, the colors used for buildings were very strict Bright colors could only be used in palaces, temples and for government officials. So people in Huizhou chose the black and white colors to paint their houses.
Generally speaking, the exterior appearance of Hui-style buildings differs little while their interior can vary a lot based on the wishes of the owners. Home decoration is characterized by three types of Hui carving: stone carving, wood carving and brick carving.
To take a look at the Hui-style architecture, Xidi Village in Yixian County, Anhui Province, is the best place to go. It is a site of typical Hui houses, and one of the “Ancient Villages in Southern Anhui” that have been collectively listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.
4. What can we learn about Hui-style architecture?
A. It is common across China. B. It differs greatly exteriorly.
C. It focuses on landscape paintings. D. It wins international recognition.
5. What aspect of Hui-style architecture does paragraph 4 talk about?
A. Its interior appearance. B. Its roof structure.
C. Its practical functions. D. Its strange shapes.
6. Why are Hui-style buildings mostly black and white?
A. Bright colors were strictly controlled.
B. Bright colors caused fortune to run of.
C. Light colors best fit in with nature.
D. Light colors could reflect sunshine.
7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To advertise UNESCO. B. To share information on visits.
C. To introduce a heritage site. D. To call for protection.

Scientists have created the first lab-grown coffee, which they say “smells and tastes like the real thing”. The Finland-based researchers used a process called cellublar agriculture, which includes taking out cells from a small plant or animal sample. In the latest example of lab-grown options, cell samples were taken from Arabica, a popular coffee plant that makes up 56 per cent of global production. With lab-grown coffee, the researchers say that they can deal with problems facing the global coffee industry, such as a need for clearing space for coffee plants to keep up with an increasing need for the drink worldwide.
The research is being conducted at VTT Technical Research Centre based in Espoo, Finland — the country that drinks the most coffee per person. “The process uses read coffee plant cells,” Dr. Heiko Rischer, head of plant biotechnology at Finland’s VTT research center, said. “At first, a cell culture is started from a plant part, for example, a leaf. The formed cells reproduced on a specific nutrient medium. In the end, the cells are transported to a bioreactor from which the biomass is then harvested. The cells are dried and roasted then coffee can be brewed.”
The first collection produced by VTT in their laboratory smells and tastes like traditional coffee, according to the results of a “sensory analysis”. After drinking a cup, Dr. Rischer said, “There is a surprisingly full smell. In terms of smell and taste, our trained sensory judgement and analytical examination has found the coffee bears similarity to ordinary coffee,” he said. “The experience of drinking the very first cup was exciting.”
The idea that coffee cells could be used to make coffee was presented back in 1974 by plant scientist P.M. Townsley. But the VTT scientists have put the theory into practice with their lab-grown brew, which they think could hit the market by 2025.
8. What might be one of the causes of creating lab-grown coffee?
A. Dr. Heiko has been devoted to genetically engineering.
B. There exists an increasing demand market of coffee.
C. People in Finland drink the most amount of coffee.
D. The idea is based on a theory proving to be practical.
9. What does the underline word “brewed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Produced. B. Designed. C. Collected. D. Measured.
10. What advantage does the lab-grown coffee have over the traditional one?
A. Lab-grown coffee makes people drinking it more excited.
B. Lab-grown coffee can be judged through people’s senses.
C. Lab-grown coffee tastes and smells better than ordinary coffee.
D. Lab-grown coffee can be made in labs and therefore save space.
11. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To praise scientists sticking with creation. B. To solve coffee shortage troubling people.
C. To introduce a new kind of Arabica coffee. D. To present a research on man- made coffee.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. D

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“With lab-grown coffee, the researchers say that they can deal with problems facing the global coffee industry, such as a need for clearing space for coffee plants to keep up with an increasing need for the drink worldwide.(研究人员表示,通过实验室培育的咖啡,他们可以解决全球咖啡产业面临的诸多问题,比如为满足全球对这种饮料日益增长的需求,需要为种植咖啡树腾出空间)”可知,实验室培育咖啡的原因之一是咖啡的需求市场在不断增长。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The cells are dried and roasted then coffee can be”以及第三段中“The first collection produced by VTT in their laboratory smells and tastes like traditional coffee, according to the results of a “sensory analysis”.”可知,根据“感官分析”的结果,VTT在他们的实验室中生产的第一批咖啡闻起来和尝起来都像传统咖啡,可见这些细胞被烘干,然后就产生了咖啡。故画线词意思是“产生”。A. Produced.产生;B. Designed.设计;C. Collected.收集;D. Measured.测量。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“With lab-grown coffee, the researchers say that they can deal with problems facing the global coffee industry, such as a need for clearing space for coffee plants to keep up with an increasing need for the drink worldwide.(研究人员表示,通过实验室培育的咖啡,他们可以解决全球咖啡产业面临的诸多问题,比如为满足全球对这种饮料日益增长的需求,需要为种植咖啡树腾出空间)”可知,与传统咖啡相比,实验室培育的咖啡的优势是可以在实验室里制作,同时,还可以解决为种植咖啡树腾空间的问题,可以节省空间。故选D。

In the spring of 1990, I was at a racing event in Columbus, Ohio, and the guy who was hosting said, “Hey, do you want to see my new baby?” I said, “Sure.” We went out and there it was, a little red sports car. I asked if I could sit in it and when I did, I put my left hand on the steering wheel and my right on the shifter. I said to myself, “It just feels right.”
Soon after, I started seeing billboards and print advertisements. Mazda’s motto for the new car was, “It just feels right.” Total coincidence (巧合). At the time, I was under contract (合约) to race with Ford Motor Co., and so I always had Ford cars. I didn’t need a new car, but I bought one anyway — a Miata from its very first model year.
There wasn’t anything like the Miata at the time — a new, small, two-seat convertible sports car. And this one hit every mark. It had cool style, it was affordable, it had durability (耐用), performance, and economy. I was living in South Florida and it was a perfect place to drive with the top down. The car loved to go fast. I certainly got some tickets for speeding. It was the kind of car that made you want to go into garage (车库) so you could say good night to it.
Now, so many years later, I can look back and say that I have never owned any car for more than three years except this one, which I have owned for over three decades. It amazes me that when I first saw it, I’d never heard of the Miata. Now you see them everywhere, and it has its own successful racing series, the MX-5 Cup.
About five years ago, I was going to visit my daughter who lived in San Francisco, and I learned that Tom Matano—who led the design of this car for Mazda — was working in San Francisco. I made an appointment and I met him. To me, it was like meeting Enzo Ferrari if you are a Ferrari nut. He turned out to be the most modest, delightful human being, and it was an honor to get to know him. These days I still drive the Miata to its fullest. Recently I went on a road trip with one of my favorite girlfriends. We were on a straight road that had no speed limit. I was hauling at 120mph. The car was happy as a camper, as they say, and so was its driver.
12. Which of the following best describes the author’s Miata?
A. Attractive and tough. B. Modern and large.
C. Small and traditional. D. Fashionable and expensive.
13. What can we know about the author from the passage?
A. She was the designer of Mazda. B. She preferred Ford to Mazda.
C. She once worked with Tom Matano. D. She thought highly of Miata.
14. Why does the author mention Enzo Ferrari in the last paragraph?
A. To recommend a new car. B. To explain her routine.
C. To express her excitement. D. To introduce Enzo Ferrari.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Becoming a fan of Ferrari B. “Feeling right” in my Miata
C. “Feeling proud” in my Ford D. Dreaming of having a Mazda
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文中讲述了作者和爱车——一款Miata汽车的故事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“There wasn’t anything like the Miata at the time—a new, small, two-seat convertible sports car. And this one hit every mark. It had cool style, it was affordable, it had durability (耐用), performance, and economy.(那时还没有像Miata这样的车——一种新型的小型双座敞篷跑车。而这一点击中了每一个目标。它的风格很酷,价格实惠,耐用,性能好,而且经济实惠)”可知,作者的Miata车有吸引力且耐用。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It had cool style, it was affordable, it had durability (耐用), performance, and economy.(它的风格很酷,价格实惠,耐用,性能好,而且经济实惠)”作者对车的描述及第四段中“Now, so many years later, I can look back and say that I have never owned any car for more than three years except this one, which I have owned for over three decades.(现在,许多年过去了,我可以回顾说,除了这一辆我已经拥有30多年的车之外,我没有拥有任何一辆车超过3年)”可知,作者对Miata汽车评价很高。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“I made an appointment and I met him.(我和他约好见面了)”可知,作者和爱车的领头设计师见面,接着“To me, it was like meeting Enzo Ferrari if you are a Ferrari nut.(对我来说,如果你是一个法拉利迷,这就像见到恩佐·法拉利一样)” 提到这就像一个法拉利的狂热爱好者见到恩佐·法拉利本人一样,所以作者提及恩佐·法拉利是为了表达自己见到Tom Matano的兴奋之情。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合文章第一段中“I asked if I could sit in it and when I did, I put my left hand on the steering wheel and my right on the shifter. I said to myself, ‘It just feels right.’(我问我能不能坐进去,当我坐进去的时候,我把我的左手放在方向盘上,我的右手放在变速杆上。我对自己说,‘就是这种感觉。’)”可知,本文介绍了作者和自己的爱车Miata的故事,作者第一次体验这款车时对自己说“就是这种感觉”,后来这句话也恰好是这款车的广告语,所以B项“在我的Miata上感觉才对”适合作为本文标题。故选B项。
