第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Are you searching for the latest device as a gift? Here, we offer a guide that will
help you take a closer look at four of tech’s hottest categories.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR), the most exciting tech development of recent times, has
arrived. The Sony VR doesn’t require expensive phone and there are some devices
you can purchase to enhance the experience. But if you’ve already got a PS4, you can
enter the world of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan).
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move around without limit, wireless
headphones just make sense. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are
worth a test drive. The headphones feature active noise cancellation. They can be
easily purchased for less than $400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone has more functions, there’s no substitute (
替代品
) for a real
camera. As small as your smartphone, the smooth design of the Fujifilm X70, $699
(4850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion. In China, Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1
offers a more affordable option, available for just 2199 yuan.
Smartwatches
Watches, thanks to the mobile phone, were becoming unnecessary. Now the
pursuit for fitness has helped the watch industry push forward. FitBit has been a
leader in the sporty wearable field, and its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 ($130)
represents the best in the way of today’s fitness bands.
21. With a budget of $300, which of the following can you buy?
A. Xiaomi Yi M1. B. Fujifilm X70.
C. Fitbit Flex 2. D. A Sony VR without a PS4.
22. What may be the possible reason for you to choose Xiaomi instead of Fujifilm?
A. Its design. B. Its function.
C. Its quality. D. Its price.
23. Where may you find the passage?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a research paper.
C. In a guide book. D. In a sports magazine.
B
“This material is called xiangyunsha,” said Song Fei, while she introduced a
traditional cheongsam (
旗袍
) to customers in a flagship shop. “Dyed with pure plant
extracts (
提取物
) and unpolluted river mud, the time-honored silk cloth is named
‘soft gold’ in the textile (
纺织的
) industry.”
To everyone’s surprise, the knowledgeable Song, who has unbelievable insights
3
into cheongsam, a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women, has practiced
law for 10 years in Chengdu City. In 2017, she traveled to Suzhou to learn design and
handicraft skills of cheongsam and traditional costumes, becoming a cheongsam
designer.
At first, Song’s family and friends were not optimistic about her choice to switch
from a distinguished career to an artistic field. Knowing little about clothing, Song
met with a huge challenge. “The pain was unthinkable, but since I had chosen that
profession, I had to stick to it. I want a career that I truly enjoy,” said Song.
Song returned to Chengdu with new skills and creative passion in 2019 and
founded her design brand. “To be honest, compared with my previous job, this one is
harder and leaves me with much greater financial pressure. But my sense of
satisfaction is beyond comparison when my works are recognized and appreciated,”
said Song.
“Traditional cheongsams are one-piece tailored dresses of Chinese origin that
require making with natural materials by hand. However, modern cheongsams are
often made with artificial materials and produced by machine,” Song said. “In the
face of rapid social and economic changes, traditional cheongsams are receiving less
attention due to the popularity of mass-produced cheongsams.”
To save the beauty of traditional culture, Song wants to blend people’s daily lives
with time-honored handicrafts, believing that traditional culture should not be the
zone of museums. She aims to pass on traditional Chinese culture, which is a
meaningful type of work with social responsibilities.
24. Where did Song probably work in the past?
A. In a design room for costumes.
B. At an office of legal affairs.
C. In a museum of traditional culture.
D. At a flagship shop of cheongsams.
25. What made Song change her job?
A. Great financial pressure.
B. Persuasion from family and friends.
C. Unthinkable pain from the former job.
D. Love for traditional costumes.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The future development of cheongsams.
B. The main producing process of cheongsams.
C. The difference between traditional and modern cheongsams.
D. The original materials of traditional and modern cheongsams.
27. Which of the following can best replace the word “blend” in paragraph 6?
A. Combine. B. Present. C. Compare. D. Exchange.
C
Taking a regular afternoon nap (小睡)may be linked to better mental functions (心理机
能 ) in old people, a study has found. Researchers found sleeping in the afternoon has
4
something to do with better verbal fluency and memory in the ageing Chinese
population.
The study, published in online journal General Psychiatry, examined
the sleep patterns of 2,214 healthy people aged 60 and over in several large
cities in China, including Beijing and Shanghai. Of those who took part in the
study,1,534 took a regular afternoon nap of between five minutes and two
hours, while 680 did not.
Participants(参与者)in the study were asked how often they napped during the
week, with answers ranging from once a week to every day. The average
length of nighttime sleep was around 6.5 hours in both groups, though no
information was taken on the specific duration or timing of the naps taken.
All participants took part in a dementia (痴呆)screening test to check their mental func-
tions across a number of areas. The researchers found important differences
in verbal fluency and memory, with scores higher among the napping group.
“In addition to reducing sleepiness, mid-day naps offer a lot of benefits
such as strengthening memory, preparation for following learning, and
emotional stability, but these effects were not observed in all cases,”
the researchers concluded.
However, the researchers did point out the research could not conclude
whether afternoon naps put off the dementia of older people, or whether they
might be a symptom of dementia. The researchers plan to continue their
research to understand the details of these connections, and hope to publish
more work in this field in the future.
ing to the text, afternoon naps can help old people
A. live a rich life B. keep their promises
C. treat others with kindness D. remember things better
did the researchers get the findings?
A. By watching the old people's regular afternoon naps.
B. By showing many facts about old people's dementia.
C. By comparing the participants' mental functions.
D. By asking the participants to take many physical examinations.
can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Afternoon naps can put dementia off.
B. The participants will write more works.
5
C. The author of the text wants to make the study.
D. There will be a further study on afternoon naps.
does the text mainly talk about?
A. The harm of old people's dementia.
B. The advantages of afternoon naps for the old.
C. The connection between living longer and dementia.
D. The way to develop the habit of taking afternoon naps.

During the annual political sessions, environmental protection was definitely
among the biggest concerns. Actually, it was also an issue that ancient Chinese paid
great attention to. In fact, the world’s earliest environmental protection concept,
ministry and laws were all born in China. So, how did the ancient Chinese protect the
environment?
In early ancient China, environmental protection was promoted to the political
level. Xunzi, a famous thinker in Warring States Period, brought up the concept of
“managing state affairs through environmental protection”. He stated in his book that
vegetation (植被) should not be damaged at will. Guan Zhong, an official 400 years
ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. During his term of
office, he claimed that “a King who cannot protect his vegetation is not qualified to be
a king”.
According to a record in Qing dynasty, the environmental protection ministry in
early ancient China was called “Yu”, standing both for the institution and the official
title. Although most of its functions were similar to such ministries today, the
administration range of it was much larger, including the mountains, forests, rivers,
lakes and so on.
The nine ministries established by Shun, an ancient Chinese emperor, already
included “Yu”, the environmental protection ministry. The first “Yu” official was a
man called Boyi, who was indeed an environmental protection expert. He was a
capable assistant to Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert. He invented wells,
protecting people’s drinking water from pollution. He knew a lot about animals and
also called for animal protection.
Environmental protection laws dated back to the ruling period of Dayu, which
was more than 4,000 years ago. During his rule, he issued a ban, forbidding people to
cut down wood in March or catch fish in June, the time when they were supposed to
boom.
In Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period almost 3,000 years ago,
“environmental protection laws” appeared in its true sense in Qin, which was
recorded in Law of Fields and regarded as China’s earliest “environmental protection
laws”.
32. What can we know about Xunzi?
6
A. He was against any destruction of vegetation.
B. He was an environmental protection expert.
C. He removed the disqualified king from the position.
D. He brought up the thought of environmental protection.
33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The ministry of Yu.
B. The Qing dynasty.
C. The term of office of Yu.
D. The modern environmental ministry.
34. Who was the first environmental protection minister in ancient China?
A. Shun. B. Boyi. C. Xunzi. D. Guan Zhong.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Politics and Environment
B. The Earliest Environmental Laws
C. Dayu — a Great Environmental Protector
D. How the Ancient Chinese Protect the Environment
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中
有两项为多余选项。
When someone you care about has suffered a serious health event or is dealing
with a life-threatening illness, it can be difficult to know what to say or do. 36
How can you best offer your support? These tips can help:
Offer your support. Your friend or loved one may be unwilling to ask for help,
but it’s support from people like you that can make all the difference in their recovery.
Offer to help with a specific task, even if it’s simply to sit with them during or after
treatment. 37
Listen. When you talk to someone with a serious illness, it’s natural to feel
awkward or not know what to say. 38 Allow them to express what they’re going
through without judging them.
39 The more you know about your loved one’s diagnosis (诊断) and
treatment, the better prepared you’ll be to help. But that doesn’t mean you should tell
the person what they should or shouldn’t do, unless they specifically ask for your
opinion or want to know what you’ve researched. Treatment decisions are finally
always up to your loved one, so be supportive even if you don’t always agree.
Stay connected. 40 You can’t just provide support at the time of diagnosis
and then let your attention go. Your support can be just as important after treatment as
it is before.
A. Encourage your loved one to keep calm.
B. Some illnesses can involve long-term treatment.
C. But often what really counts is to listen to the person.
D. Educate yourself about the illness but don’t give advice.
E. All you need to do is to present your determined attitude.

When someone you care about has suffered a serious health event or is dealing
with a life-threatening illness, it can be difficult to know what to say or do. 36
How can you best offer your support? These tips can help:
Offer your support. Your friend or loved one may be unwilling to ask for help,
but it’s support from people like you that can make all the difference in their recovery.
Offer to help with a specific task, even if it’s simply to sit with them during or after
treatment. 37
Listen. When you talk to someone with a serious illness, it’s natural to feel
awkward or not know what to say. 38 Allow them to express what they’re going
through without judging them.
39 The more you know about your loved one’s diagnosis (诊断) and
treatment, the better prepared you’ll be to help. But that doesn’t mean you should tell
the person what they should or shouldn’t do, unless they specifically ask for your
opinion or want to know what you’ve researched. Treatment decisions are finally
always up to your loved one, so be supportive even if you don’t always agree.
Stay connected. 40 You can’t just provide support at the time of diagnosis
and then let your attention go. Your support can be just as important after treatment as
it is before.
A. Encourage your loved one to keep calm.
B. Some illnesses can involve long-term treatment.
C. But often what really counts is to listen to the person.
D. Educate yourself about the illness but don’t give advice.
E. All you need to do is to present your determined attitude.
