Summary Writing 51. In 2020, employees couldn’t enjoy their annual leave. Some companies allow employees to use it next year, but might be under-staffed with too many employees on holiday. This may not happen in America or Japan, where taking vacation is a sign of lack of devotion. Sensible employers still allow employees to carry over their annual leave for their well-being. IV.

Dear Teaching Affairs Office, I am writing to provide my suggestions for the proposed "Cooking" course that our school plans to offer. As a senior student in Mingqi High School, I believe that the course can be designed to include the following aspects. Firstly, the course should teach fundamental cooking skills such as cutting, seasoning, frying, and boiling. These skills are the foundation of cooking and are essential for making simple, delicious meals. Students should also learn about kitchen safety, hygiene, and basic nutrition. Secondly, the course should include lessons on different cuisines from around the world. This would give students a broader understanding of global cultures and traditions, as well as a chance to learn new recipes and techniques. For example, students could study Chinese, Indian, Italian, and Mexican cuisine and learn to cook traditional dishes from each culture. Lastly, the course should emphasize the importance of sustainability and responsible food consumption. Students should learn about food waste, eco-friendly cooking practices, and how to make use of leftover ingredients. In my opinion, these aspects of the course are important for several reasons. Firstly, they provide students with practical skills that they can use in their daily lives. Cooking is a basic life skill that everyone should have, and the course can help students become more self-sufficient in the kitchen. Secondly, learning about different cuisines and cultures can broaden students' horizons and foster a sense of curiosity and empathy. This can help them become more open-minded and tolerant individuals. Lastly, by emphasizing sustainability and responsible food consumption, the course can raise students' awareness of important global issues and inspire them to take action in their own lives. Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe that the "Cooking" course has the potential to be a valuable addition to our school curriculum and I look forward to hearing more about your decisions regarding this course.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in historic areas? To answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historic buildings are attractive. However, there may be other, perhaps economic, reasons for 1          (preserve) them. So, let us assume that the historical buildings are both attractive and important. What should we do, then, if a new building 2          (need)? In my view, new architectural styles 3          exist perfectly well alongside an older style. In fact, there are many examples in my own hometown of Boston, with modern designs 4          (place) very successfully next to old buildings. 5          ________ ________ the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate its surroundings too much, it often enhances the attractiveness of the area. Admittedly, there are examples of new buildings 6          have spoiled the area they are in. But the same can be said of some old buildings, too. Yet people still object to new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply 7          people are naturally conservative and do not like change. Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users and viewers of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner 8          (move) things forward. If we constantly reproduced what was there before, we would still be living in caves. Therefore, I would argue 9          building imitations 10          (choose) something fresh and different, even though that might be the riskier option. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. achievement B. compare C. disappointments D. experimented E. particular F. pointless G. purposeful H. reminded I. sacrifice J. shape K. therapy Sport - You've got to love it Record levels of people do no sport at all, while others will not even watch it. Jerry Travis explains what they're missing. Healthy body, healthy mind It's maybe obvious, but worth repeating: sport keeps you in 11         . Moreover, people who are physically fit are, on average, happier. In fact, the British health service has recently 12          with giving people suffering from mild depression a course of exercise instead of drugs; gym membership rather than 13         . Preparation for life I'm not talking about those weird non-competitive sports that some schools insist on: no winners, no losers and everyone gets a prize. Not only are such games dull and 14          for children, but life is simply not like that. Competitive sport teaches us to cope with losing and 15         . Sure, we're not all naturally sporty, but then I'm rubbish at crosswords. You just have to find your own level and lean to enjoy your own performance. You can feel the same sense of 16          a Real Madrid winning a game, by beating an opponent who is at a slightly higher (though still low!) level than you. Similarly, I'm happy completing a puzzle others would find easy. Social and fun What would we do without sport? Read? Play computer games? Hang around on the street? Obviously these aren't necessarily all bad things - reading in 17          brings many benefits - but the first two are hardly social, and the last not that interesting or 18         . Playing sports helps to build relationships and teaches the importance of supporting each other whether you win or lose. I'm 19          of a lovely, funny scene in a film called Gregory's Girl, where two teenage characters 20          injuries they've had after a bad game. Likewise, sports fans often enjoy sharing the pain of their team losing almost as much as the joy of winning. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In recent years breakfast cereals (谷物) seem to have lost their appeal. Many contain things that 21          consumers avoid, from carbohydrates and gluten to artificial flavours and genetically modified (GM) grain. Add to this a rising 22          for big brands and adoration of small, "authentic" ones, and large cereal-makers have been suffering declining sales. The market for "ready-to-eat" cereals shrank by 9% in American between 2012 and 2015, according to Euromonitor, a data firm. In Britain, the second-biggest cereal market, sales fell by 6%. Now, the manufacturers are boasting a(n) 23         . On February 16th General Mills told investors that its American cereal sales were stabilising. Kellogg follows, reporting on February 17th that it expects its American cereal sales to grow this year. But it will take hard work to make breakfast's business 24          again. Cereal firms have tried many ways to cope with customer's 25          appetites. They have 26         . Post Holdings, which sells Honey Bunches of Oats and Grape-Nuts, now also sells eggs and protein shakes. Some firms have 27          trendier brands, with mixed results. After Kellogg bought Kashi in 2000, many of its loyal customers 28         . Kellogg is now trying to win them back, returning Kashi's headquarters to California. A new Kashi cereal features popped sorghum (高粱), crispy yellow peas and smashed red beans. Makers are also spending to help their main brands. Kellogg has put more fruit in its Special k Red Berries cereal. General Mills plans to 29          all artificial flavours and colours from its cereals by 2023. Retailers (零售商) do not want cereal to enter terminal decline - it is too 30          for them. Jim Holbrook, who led Post's cereal business and is now boss of Daymon Worldwide, a retail consultant, says grocers might 31          sales by placing milk or bananas alongside cereal. For now, cereal-makers can take 32          that at least some brands are still popular. Sales of Kellogg's Froot Loops and General Mills' Cinnamon Toast Crunch have 33          in recent years, points out Alexia Howard of Sanford C. Bernstein, a research firm, even as more virtuous brands such as Fiber One, All-Bran and (until recently) Special k were failing, 34          shoppers may or may not come back to their cereal habit just due to smashed red beans. But cereal's most 35          customers are those who don't mind heaps of sugar, or "red #40" food colouring, in their breakfast bowls. 21. A. anxious B. regular C. satisfied D. potential 22. A. demand B. standard C. reputation D. disrespect 23. A. continuity B. distinction C. turnaround D. equivalent 24. A. compete B. succeed C. protest D. refuse 25.

A. reliable B. wealthy C. famous D. intelligent Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） Genetically modified (GM) foods have met with enormous public opposition over the past decades. Many people believe GM foods are bad for our health. This is against considerable scientific evidence that proves GM foods are safe to eat. Then, why is there such a difference between what science tells us and what people think? In a recently published paper, a group of Belgian biotechnologists argue that negative messages of GM foods are convincing because they are based on our intuitions. Many people oppose GM foods, in part, because it just seems to make sense that they would pose a threat. In the paper, the scientists identified several intuitions that may affect people's perception of GM foods. Psychological essentialism, for instance, makes people think of DNA as an organism's "essence"-an unobservable core that determines the organism's identity. People are typically more opposed to GM applications that involve the transfer of DNA between two different species. Anti-GM organizations, however, often exploit these intuitions by telling the public that companies plant scorpion (蝎子) DNA in corn to make crispier cereals (谷类植物). Intuitions about purposes and intentions have an impact on people's thinking about GM foods, too. Genetic modification is often considered "unnatural". There is the belief that by going against the will of nature, people are bound to bring enormous disaster upon themselves. Besides, disgust also affects people's attitudes towards GM foods. Genetic modification causes disgust when the introduced DNA comes from a species that is generally considered disgusting. However, DNA is DNA, whatever its source. The disgust, therefore, is unnecessary. To be sure, a particular GM application may have unwanted effects, but the risks and benefits should be assessed on a case-to-case basis. Applications in food have been proven to be safe, and they bring many benefits. Herbicide resistant crops, for example, require less tilling (犁地) and can improve soil structures. Drought resistant crops, meanwhile, can help farmers in developing countries produce and earn more. Given the promise of GM technology, such a change is much needed, and people should stop feeling suspicious about it. 36. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Scientists fail to win the public's trust in most cases. B. The public have changed their view on GM food. C. Scientific results support the public's belief. D. The public's belief of GM food is groundless. 37. The author mentions "psychological essentialism" (paragraph 3) in order to A. illustrate how people's view on GM food is affected B. show what scientists have discovered about GM food C. prove that DNA is essential for all the living things D. explain why GM food would pose a threat 38. According to the passage, which of the following is an example of people's intuition identified by scientists? A. DNA affects the features of organism. B. Any unnatural food is harmful. C. GM foods will address the food crisis. D. Genetic modification is disgusting. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A. Are GM Food Good or Bad? B. Why Do People Oppose GM Foods? C. DNA Transfer Affects People's View D. Applications of GM Food （B） A Chinese coin found in a Hampshire field suggests that medieval (中世纪) trade between England and the Far East was more extensive than previously thought, a historian has said. The coin of the Northern Song dynasty dates from 1008-1016, but is of a type that remained in wide use in China for several hundred years. It is the second Chinese coin found in a medieval context in England and experts said that its discovery added weight to the idea that the two coins were genuine medieval loses and not dropped by modem collectors. The coin was found by a detectorist near Petersfield and about 20 miles from the only other Chinese work of art from medieval England: a piece of blue and white porcelain (瓷器) from a small cup or bowl, which could be placed in Winchester in the 14th century. Caitlin Green, a historian at the University of Cambridge, suggested in a blog that the coin might have been brought to England at about the same time as the porcelain. She said the finds of this coin and another Northern Song dynasty coin of 1066-77, unearthed in Cheshire, suggest the Winchester porcelain may have been part of the objects from the Far East in the 14th century rather than a one-off. This was centuries before imports of Chinese goods became widespread in the 1600s, but about the same time as Chinese pottery is known to have been owned by royals in France and Italy. The history of Chinese goods in Britain goes back further, however, with rich Roman Britons known to have bought Chinese silk. Dr Green said that goods from China would have reached England over several stages by way of the Middle East and Italy. 40. What can be learned about the two Chinese coins mentioned in the passage? A. They were unearthed at the same site. B. They were believed to have arrived at England in the 1300s. C. They were found to have been owned by royals in France and Italy. D. They were dropped by modem collectors. 41. The word "one-off" (paragraph 6) most probably means________. A. something that doesn't happen regularly B. something that doesn't happen only once C. something that happens on a small scale D. something that happens unexpected 42. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?? A. Chinese coin hints at vast medieval trade route B. Coins and white porcelain trace back to ancient China C. Chinese silk points at a lasting England-China relationship D. History of Chinese goods in Britain has been redefined （C） Generally, hair- and skin-care products, like shampoos and shower gels, contain up to 95% water. Lotions aren't far behind with up to 90% water, and creams can have 60% to 80% water. However, for reasons ranging from sustainability to skin sensitivity, an increasing number of manufacturers are now coming up with beauty and personal-care products that are going dry. "Consumers are more aware of environmental impacts than ever, and they are wondering, 'Why are we shipping around so much water?"" says Andrew Gibbs, who teaches sustainable packaging design at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., and is the founder of Dieline, a packaging-design website. "If a brand comes in tablet, powder, bar or concentrated form with little or no packaging, then why would you use something else?" That's certainly the argument the waterless, or anhydrous, brands are making. Water is heavy. It costs more to package and ship a large plastic bottle of regular liquid shampoo than a small bottle of powered or concentrated shampoo, which will often last much longer. For example, one 1.75-ounce bottle of water-activated, powdered hair wash is the equivalent (in terms of number of washes) of four 8-ounce bottles of liquid shampoo. Bar shampoos and conditioners, which come in a small recyclable box, will give you about 80 washes versus 15 washes for a typical 8-ounce plastic bottle of shampoo or conditioner. The absence of water also eliminates the need for various preservatives and stabilizers - another benefit for the environment because fewer chemicals are used. Moreover, it's good for consumers who are sensitive to such additives, or who advocate the idea of "clean beauty," which means they look for products without unnecessary, artificial or chemical ingredients. "You don't have the same issues with formulation that you would have with a traditional liquid format," says Anna Keller, a senior beauty and personal-care industry analyst at Mintel, a market - research firm. "You're not worried about the same levels of microbial contamination (微生物污染) when a product doesn't have water, which most things need to really grow, and the ingredients are also just more stable." Nevertheless, she says the category faces "performance challenges." Meaning that if the powders, bars, sheets and concentrates don't perform as well as, if not better than, traditional water-based products that consumers are already using, then they are unlikely to make the switch. While Mintel research indicates around 25% of personal-care-product shoppers are making an effort to buy things that aren't harmful to the environment, they typically don't base their buying decisions only on sustainability. 43. According to the passage, which is the trend of beauty and personal-care products? A. They need no shipping. B. They will contain less liquid. C. They cause no skin sensitivity. D. They are becoming multi-functional. 44. What problem does traditional hair- and skin-care products have? A. They require much packaging. B. They must be kept in dry places. C. They often come in small bottles. D. They take much time to produce. 45. Why will waterless products appeal to those who advocate "clean beauty"? A. These people tend to favour new things over traditional ones. B. Such products are less likely to suffer from microbial contamination. C. These people are rather sensitive to artificial or chemical ingredients. D. Such products contain few chemicals unfriendly to the environment. 46. What is Anna Keller worried about? A. What consumers will base their buying decisions on. B. Whether people will really buy waterless personal-care-products. C. When traditional personal-care-products will be driven out of the market. D. How much personal-care-product shoppers will care about the environment. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Not everyone was convinced. B. They should put a stop to this thinking that we have all the information we need to change the whole national diet and make everybody healthy. C. In this case, the diet study addressed a tricky problem. D. Others have said the opposite: that low-fat diets enable people to lose weight naturally. E. The $415 million study involved nearly 49,000 women aged 50 to 79 who were followed for eight years. F. They are not looking at how much they ate or that they smoke or that they are not doing any sports. Chances a low fat-diet will help? Slim and none The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet reduces the risk of getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet has no effect. 47          In the end, those assigned to a low-fat diet had the same rates of cancer, heart attacks and strokes as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers reported Wednesday. "These studies are revolutionary," said Dr. Jules Hirsch, physician at Rockefeller University in New York City, who has spent a lifetime studying the effects of diets on weight and heath. "48         " The results, the study investigators agreed, do not justify recommending low-fat diets to the public to reduce their heart disease and cancer risk. The investigators added that the best dietary advice was eating less saturated fats and trans fats (饱和脂肪和反式脂肪), more grains and more fruits and vegetables. 49          Some, like Dr. Dean Ornish, a promoter of low-fat diets and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, said that the women did not reduce their fat to low enough levels or eat enough fruits and vegetables. He also said the study, even at eight years, did not give the diets enough time. Barbara Howard, a principal investigator in the study, said people should realize that diet alone is not enough to stay healthy." We are not going to reverse any of the diseases in this country by changing the composition of the diet," Howard said. "People are always thinking it's what they ate. 50         " Except for not smoking, the evidence for advice on what makes a healthy lifestyle is largely indirect, Howard said. Most medical re-searchers agree, however, that it also makes sense for people to eat well, control their weight and get regular exercise. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Tough Breaks The year 2020 was a fairly tough year. It did not help that many employees were unable to enjoy a normal holiday, or had to change their plans. Two weeks in Spain might be replaced by a wet week in Cornwall, marked by an attempt to eat a pizza on the beach in the face of a sudden storm. Many people are left with unused annual leave. Some of them are lucky that their employers are willing to let them carry over a couple of weeks. However, not all companies can afford to be so kind. The more vital the worker, the more likely they will have been to be asked to postpone their annual leave. This may leave employers with headaches in the coming year as workers catch up before their unused holiday is lost. Brian Kropp of Gartner, a consultancy, expects to see the lion's share of staff shortages to land in the first half of 2021. Unlike their European peers, American and Japanese workers seem to give in to social pressure: the fear that taking vacation reflects a lack of commitment to their job. Many American states also allow companies to impose a "use it or lose it" policy, under which they can insist employees cannot carry over unused leave into the following year, That may have prompted a lot of workers to take an extended Christmas break to avoid the loss of their precious allowance. Still, wise employers may want to allow a little flexibility after what has been an extraordinarily difficult year. It is no good forcing people to turn up for work if, in the process, you cause permanent damage to their well-being. Indeed, the evidence seems to suggest that workers put in extra effort in 2020, with those working from home adding an extra hour to their work day. They avoided the trouble of travelling but also lost the clear separation of work from home life, which probably added to stress. IV.
