I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror. I was wearing white tights, a white leotard, and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school's Winter Wonderland show.
“Grandma, I really don't feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked up from what she was sewing. “Why, mo'opuna?” Mo'opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawai'i. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. Then Ms. Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled. And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don't like our dance. And no one would notice if I wasn't there. There are so many of us.” “I would notice. So would your parents.”
As Christine walked toward us, Grandma paused and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand. “What's bothering my Avery?” “And you won't be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.
Grandma was about to speak. Then something outside the window caught her eye. She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something. “Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “No, mo'opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”
I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently. Like it was new. I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions, sparkling and shining at us. So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical. “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love,” “hello,” and “good-bye.” “I don't know when I'll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani's hand and pulled her back inside.
When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn't care if Grandma Lani could see me. I was helping her see a snowstorm.
4．What is the part the granddaughter played in the dance?
A．The Snow Queen. B．A snowflake.
C．A snowstorm. D．A granddaughter.
5．What can we learn from the text?

Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the “Ice Ribbon”, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the difference. “It's not just a hunk of ice like you'd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It's a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The more pure the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
8．What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making?
A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.
B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
9．Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?
A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
10．What is Gao Bo's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?
A．Unclear. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Favourable.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
D．The Structure of Ice.
D
“The really frightening thing about middle age,” the actor Doris Day is said to have joked, “is that you know you'll grow out of it.” We may bravely try to claim that life begins at 40- but for many people，it can feel more like the beginning of the end.
Mid life wasn't always seen this way. It isn't clear why we have a more negative view today, but Margie Lachman, director of the lifespan development lab at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, suggests it may be linked to the pressures that begin piling up in our 30s. “Midlife is a period of high stress today, more so than in the past,” she says. “One is exactly in the middle of work and family careers. This can affect one's ability to focus on one's own well-being.”
There are, however, many reasons to feel positive about this crucial period. In a series of experiments, Laura Germine at Harvard Medical School has tested tens of thousands of people to examine the differences in cognitive abilities between age groups. Germine's studies have included the famous “mind in the eyes” test, for instance, which gets people to infer emotional states from small differences in facial expressions. She found that people in their late 40s scored highest. This may be due to practice, she suggests. “When you think about the amount of social differences that one has to learn across the lifespan- that's where we think that comes from.”
Germine found similar patterns in a task demanding continuous attention. In this, the participants had to watch different scenes fade into one another and adapt their response according to what they saw-pressing a button when they saw a city and releasing it when they saw a mountain. 40-somethings found it much easier to “get into the zone” than younger people.
It is interesting to note that middle-aged people frequently bring in the most supplies in traditional hunter-gatherer societies. According to various studies, hunter-gatherers often take decades to learn their skills, and these abilities continue to grow into their 40s.
There are some downsides to hitting this age, of course. Our skin tends to become loose and our body fat starts to be redistributed around the midriff. But after a drop in life satisfaction, happiness is already set to rise at the end of this decade and the beginning of the next.
Contrary to popular opinion, humans seem to have evolved to flourish into middle age and beyond.
12．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Doris Day felt excited in her 40s. B．It's believed that life begins at 40.
C．Lots of people feel worried at 40. D．We are supposed to be braver at 40.
13．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text?
A．People in their 40s attach more importance to their well-being.
B．There seem to be reasons for us to be optimistic about middle age.
C．The participants in their 40s did badly in Germine's experiments.
D．Humans' physical appearance definitely gets worse in their 40s.
14．The underlined word “flourish” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A．Succeed B．Panic C．Calm D．Decline
15．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A textbook B．An art review.
C．A science magazine. D．A biography.

How to Choose the Right Career?
Choosing the right career can be difficult, and consequently you will find many of us can hardly find a suitable job in our daily life. 16
17
Assess your hobbies. It is very easy to turn your hobbies or something you love doing into a future career. Many hobbies are related to real world needs and positions. Consider what you like to do and how that might fit into a career. Remain humble as you work toward your goal.
Assessing your skills
Consider what skills you are good at. If you are particularly good at certain skills, such as fixing things or making things, this can provide you with a great future career, since skilled labor is often in demand and you will find it fairly easy to find work. 18 People who interact with others well can easily get careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions.
Considering your current state
Explore yourself. Figuring out what you should do with your life may sometimes require you to get to know yourself better. If you want a career that will really make you happy, you have to have an impressive awareness of what you want and what you enjoy. 19
Thinking about your future
Examine your future financial security. One of the most important things to consider is if the career path you're choosing will provide you with an acceptable level of financial security. In other words, will you be able to make enough money to support yourself and your family? Meanwhile, you are supposed to pay special attention to your future job stability, 20 Accordingly, you will need to consider if the career you choose is stable enough for you and your desires for the future.
Admittedly, the combination of the above four steps proved extremely effective when choosing the future career. Once you get started, you'll find it quite beneficial and even enjoyable!
A．Evaluating your interests
B．Assessing your personality
C．Therefore, having a defined career direction will help you achieve your goal.
D．Job markets changes a lot as society needs different things at different times.
E．For some people, this means taking some time off to decide what's vital to them.
F．If you have a good command of communicating with others, there are jobs for you as well.
G．However, with serious self-planning and self-reflection, you can set yourself on a path towards a fulfilling career.

In life, do you choose to take the road everyone has taken, or do you choose the path that is best for you? It might be 21 to choose what everyone has done, especially if it seemed to work for them. But is that what truly 22 for you?

The Girl No One Talked to
Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly anyone talked to. I think it was because she seldom showered, so she kind of smelled bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didn't know exactly where she lived, but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.
Cindy Lindburg didn't have many friends. She always came to the lunch room alone and left alone. On the bus, no one offered her a seat, and she never asked because she was sort of a shy person. She seemed like a nice girl-who had an odor（臭味）problem.
One day，I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl Littleton making fun of her. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I saw the way he was laughing and rolling his eyes in his typical poking-fun-at-you way. I also saw how sad it made Cindy. Clutching her notebook to her chest like a shield, she stared at the ground and moved as far away from him as possible without leaving the bus stop entirely. As soon as I got close enough，I glared at Carl to make him stop laughing-even though I knew he probably wouldn't. He didn't. So I walked over and stood closer to Cindy so she wouldn't feel so bad. It was just one of those times when you knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
I didn't think she'd say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked up from staring at the ground and as though she thought I'd be embarrassed if anyone heard her speak to me, she whispered, “Hi.”
“Hi,” I said. Then as loudly as I could，I said, “Don't pay any attention to Carl. His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.” Seeing she had company, Carl left.
The comment didn't even rouse a smile out of Cindy.
She looked up, studying my face to check if I was making fun of her.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for reading my letter. I am a senior three student writing to share my experience. I volunteered to be a tutor in my community library on July 20, 2021. I took care of 10 primary school students ranging from Grade 1 to 3. In the morning，I gave a helping hand when they had any difficulties in doing their homework. In the afternoon，I first taught them how to draw animals and then hosted a story sharing in which all children told stories they like most.
The community library is a wonderful place for kids whose parents are busy working in the summer. Exhausted as I was after the full-day's work，I felt delighted and proud as I actively contributed to their growth.
Yours,
Li Hua

The comment didn't even rouse a smile out of Cindy. Her face was overcast with sadness. With watery eyes, she began to sob. I gave her a hug to comfort her. “Why does everyone hate me?” she asked. Her question took me by surprise. Speechless as I was，I was wondering how to tell her the truth in a more appropriate way. “I think you're smart and you dress OK，but…”. I stammered. She stared at me, waiting for my answer anxiously. Finally，I summoned my courage and told her it's because she didn't smell good.
She looked up, studying my face to check if I was making fun of her. Making sure I was serious, she lowered her head. Since she seemed to take this well，I suggested that she should take more baths if she wanted to make friends with the classmates. She looked up at me again with an embarrassed expression. I shrugged and added, “It's just a thought.” Cindy took a deep breath and thanked me. I felt quite relieved. Cindy did take more baths from that day on. And it wasn't too long before she started to make friends at school. I made a difference for the better in Cindy's life.

Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the “Ice Ribbon”, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the difference. “It's not just a hunk of ice like you'd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It's a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The more pure the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
8．What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making?
A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.
B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
9．Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?
A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
10．What is Gao Bo's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?
A．Unclear. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Favourable.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
D．The Structure of Ice.

“The really frightening thing about middle age,” the actor Doris Day is said to have joked, “is that you know you'll grow out of it.” We may bravely try to claim that life begins at 40- but for many people，it can feel more like the beginning of the end.
Mid life wasn't always seen this way. It isn't clear why we have a more negative view today, but Margie Lachman, director of the lifespan development lab at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, suggests it may be linked to the pressures that begin piling up in our 30s. “Midlife is a period of high stress today, more so than in the past,” she says. “One is exactly in the middle of work and family careers. This can affect one's ability to focus on one's own well-being.”
There are, however, many reasons to feel positive about this crucial period. In a series of experiments, Laura Germine at Harvard Medical School has tested tens of thousands of people to examine the differences in cognitive abilities between age groups. Germine's studies have included the famous “mind in the eyes” test, for instance, which gets people to infer emotional states from small differences in facial expressions. She found that people in their late 40s scored highest. This may be due to practice, she suggests. “When you think about the amount of social differences that one has to learn across the lifespan- that's where we think that comes from.”
Germine found similar patterns in a task demanding continuous attention. In this, the participants had to watch different scenes fade into one another and adapt their response according to what they saw-pressing a button when they saw a city and releasing it when they saw a mountain. 40-somethings found it much easier to “get into the zone” than younger people.
It is interesting to note that middle-aged people frequently bring in the most supplies in traditional hunter-gatherer societies. According to various studies, hunter-gatherers often take decades to learn their skills, and these abilities continue to grow into their 40s.
There are some downsides to hitting this age, of course. Our skin tends to become loose and our body fat starts to be redistributed around the midriff. But after a drop in life satisfaction, happiness is already set to rise at the end of this decade and the beginning of the next.
Contrary to popular opinion, humans seem to have evolved to flourish into middle age and beyond.
12．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Doris Day felt excited in her 40s. B．It's believed that life begins at 40.
C．Lots of people feel worried at 40. D．We are supposed to be braver at 40.
13．Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text?
A．People in their 40s attach more importance to their well-being.
B．There seem to be reasons for us to be optimistic about middle age.
C．The participants in their 40s did badly in Germine's experiments.
D．Humans' physical appearance definitely gets worse in their 40s.
14．The underlined word “flourish” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A．Succeed B．Panic C．Calm D．Decline
15．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A textbook B．An art review.
C．A science magazine. D．A biography.

The Girl No One Talked to
Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly anyone talked to. I think it was because she seldom showered, so she kind of smelled bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didn't know exactly where she lived, but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.
Cindy Lindburg didn't have many friends. She always came to the lunch room alone and left alone. On the bus, no one offered her a seat, and she never asked because she was sort of a shy person. She seemed like a nice girl-who had an odor（臭味）problem.
One day，I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl Littleton making fun of her. I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I saw the way he was laughing and rolling his eyes in his typical poking-fun-at-you way. I also saw how sad it made Cindy. Clutching her notebook to her chest like a shield, she stared at the ground and moved as far away from him as possible without leaving the bus stop entirely. As soon as I got close enough，I glared at Carl to make him stop laughing-even though I knew he probably wouldn't. He didn't. So I walked over and stood closer to Cindy so she wouldn't feel so bad. It was just one of those times when you knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
I didn't think she'd say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked up from staring at the ground and as though she thought I'd be embarrassed if anyone heard her speak to me, she whispered, “Hi.”
“Hi,” I said. Then as loudly as I could，I said, “Don't pay any attention to Carl. His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.” Seeing she had company, Carl left.
The comment didn't even rouse a smile out of Cindy.
She looked up, studying my face to check if I was making fun of her.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for reading my letter. I am a senior three student writing to share my experience. I volunteered to be a tutor in my community library on July 20, 2021. I took care of 10 primary school students ranging from Grade 1 to 3. In the morning，I gave a helping hand when they had any difficulties in doing their homework. In the afternoon，I first taught them how to draw animals and then hosted a story sharing in which all children told stories they like most.
The community library is a wonderful place for kids whose parents are busy working in the summer. Exhausted as I was after the full-day's work，I felt delighted and proud as I actively contributed to their growth.
Yours,
Li Hua

The comment didn't even rouse a smile out of Cindy. Her face was overcast with sadness. With watery eyes, she began to sob. I gave her a hug to comfort her. “Why does everyone hate me?” she asked. Her question took me by surprise. Speechless as I was，I was wondering how to tell her the truth in a more appropriate way. “I think you're smart and you dress OK，but…”. I stammered. She stared at me, waiting for my answer anxiously. Finally，I summoned my courage and told her it's because she didn't smell good.
She looked up, studying my face to check if I was making fun of her. Making sure I was serious, she lowered her head. Since she seemed to take this well，I suggested that she should take more baths if she wanted to make friends with the classmates. She looked up at me again with an embarrassed expression. I shrugged and added, “It's just a thought.” Cindy took a deep breath and thanked me. I felt quite relieved. Cindy did take more baths from that day on. And it wasn't too long before she started to make friends at school. I made a difference for the better in Cindy's life.
