Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced, And now, we have satellite navigation（satnav）systems（卫星导航系统）to guide us.
A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user's location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smart phone, to show us where we are. The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System(GPS),which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System(GLONASS),the European Union's Galileo and China's own satellite navigation system-BeiDou.
On Oct.14th,2017,an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically-produced jet equipped with the BeiDou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft corporation.
Since its introduction in 2000,the BeiDou navigation system has seen increasing numbers of applications（应用）linked to everyday life， from shared bikes to farming， when it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support BeiDou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike. Farmers can use BeiDou-enabled tractors to plow the soil and drones（无人机）using BeiDou to sow seeds，which can boost（提高）efficiency and make better use of resources. BeiDou's farming applications have been introduced to most parts of China.
With its many uses, the BeiDou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative（一带一路）.“So far，the BeiDou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific（亚太）area,” said the chief designer of the BeiDou system.
Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch up to eight more this year to expand the BeiDou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative. As Bei Dou is widely used abroad, it will be more popular in the logistics（物流）industry.
52. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A. To compare some modern satnav systems.
B. To describe the benefits of satnav systems.
C. To tell us how satnav systems were created.
D. To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.

B. improving the speed of networks
C. in the international logistics industry
D. in the whole Asia-Pacific area
55. What is the writer's attitude toward the future of the BeiDou system?
A. Worrying. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Uncertain.

Speed reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim（略读）over articles，e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the meaning of the text. But a new trend（趋势） calls on people to enjoy reading slowly.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's, Maura Kelly says,“ A regular reading habit improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize.” For example, a study of 300 elderly people showed that adults who take part in activities that use their brain, such as slow reading, have less memory loss as they get older.
Another example is a story reported on a new book club in New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't changing ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxing environment. By doing so, most of the readers in the club can find the inner peace and become less stressed, which helps them enjoy a better relationship with their family and friends.
Technology makes our reading more convenient. However, it also brings some problems. Reading texts online that has many links（链接）to other websites leads to weaker understanding than reading plain text（纯文本）.“The Internet may have made us stupider，” says Patrick Kingsley from the Guardian.“Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting much interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to think carefully and connect all these facts to each other. What's more, spending too much time reading online makes it difficult for us to get the hidden meaning behind the words.”
Slow reading means coming back to a traditional way to read books line by line, word by word. “Whenever you want to check your favorite site for something to pass the time-you pick up a meaningful work of literature（文学），”advises Kelly.
56. According to Maura Kelly, the slow reading habit can help us
A. get key words rapidly B. improve concentration
C. collect interesting news D. avoid memory loss completely
57.We can learn from the passage that slow reading.
A. helps us think deeply about facts we got
B. stops the memory loss of old people
C. requires people to turn off their smartphones
D. slows down the development of electronic products
58. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Advantages of Reading Clubs B. Return of Slow Reading
C. Reading of the Internet Age D. Two Necessary Skills of Reading
59. Which group of words are the most suitable for the following mind map?



Introduce the topic

. ③ of technology on reading
Advantages of ①

examples

. ②
The study of 300 old people



Ask for action
A. speed reading; a new book club; advantages
B. slow reading; a new book club; advantages
C. speed reading; a traditional book club; disadvantages
D. slow reading; a new book club; disadvantages

56.B【解析】细节理解题。根据“Slow readers，such as The Atlantic's, Maura Kelly says,' A regular reading habit improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize.＇”可知慢读习惯可以提高注意力，故选B。
57.A【解析】推理判断题。根据“Because of the Internet，we have become very good at collecting much interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to think carefully and connect all these facts to each other”可知慢读可以让人们对所获得的事实进行深度思考，故选A。
58.B【解析】标题归纳题。根据“We skim over articles，e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the meaning of the text. But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly”可知文章倡导我们要回归慢读，故选B。
59.D【解析】文章结构题。根据“Slow readers，such as The Atlantic's, Maura Kelly says,' A regular reading habit improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize＇”可知第二段讲的是慢读的好处，所以在B和D之间选择；根据“Technology makes our reading more convenient. However，it also brings some problems”可知说的是科技给阅 读带来的问题，故选D。

If you're feeling hungry, what's the easiest way to satisfy your hunger? Many people will take out their phones， reach for a takeaway（外卖） menu and order some delicious but possibly unhealthy food. And our very busy lives add to our need to buy ready-made food.
Eating options are endless, and new technology means we can get what we want at the push of a button. Takeaway delivery（配送）apps make ordering food quick and convenient， and during the COVID-19 outbreak, it provided a lifeline for those stuck at home with nothing to cook or those who don't have the skills to prepare a meal for themselves. It's reported that in the UK alone, people eat three million takeaway meals a day, and the three biggest delivery apps together offer a choice of 100 dishes from 60,000 restaurants. Amelia Brophy, head of UK Data Products at YouGor, told the BBC that its research suggests that the number of takeaways ordered is expected to increase in the future. It's no wonder that we would like to have something that someone else has prepared rather than cook the meal by ourselves.
Eating too much unhealthy fast food will result in putting on more weight and increasing the risk of developing other illnesses. A few years ago, the BBC Good Food Nation Survey found that most people ate fast food twice a week. But, in the age group of 16 -20, one in six ate fast food at least twice a day.
Of course, reducing salt, sugar and fat is one way to make takeaway food healthier. But the best advice you might want to take is to find a recipe book（食谱） and try making your own nutritious meal. And if you haven't got time, try ordering a healthier dish from the menu.
44. What do many people probably do when they feel hungry?
A. They cook healthy food they like.
B. They go to the restaurant to have a big meal.
C. They order some delicious food on the phone.
D. They go to their friends' to take away some food.
45. What may Amelia Brophy mostly agree with?
A. Takeaways during the COVID-19 were all very unhealthy.
B. None of us would like to cook by ourselves at home.
C. The number of takeaways is going to drop in the future.
D. More and more people will order takeaways in the future.
46. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. You'd better cook healthy meals by yourselves.
B. It's impossible for takeaway food to be healthy.
C. Even if you are busy, you should still cook at home.
D. Much salt, sugar and fat is good for our health.
47. The material is probably from__________.
A. a dictionary
B. a health magazine
C. a letter
D. an ad.
答案:【主旨大意】本文介绍了外卖应用程序使订购和送外卖变得简单，加上人们生活忙碌紧张导致外卖食品在人们生活中越来越普遍。但从健康方面考虑，外卖食品存在着弊端。最健康的选择是自己做饭，如果没有时间，就尽量点健康的食物。

When Raj was a teenager， his father worked in a welding（焊接）shop for more than 12 hours a day. However, his father could not make enough money to provide even a common life for the family.
Raj was an average student in school, and used to score around 70 percent marks. His dream was to become a doctor. Since his marks weren't very high, he could not get the courses that he wanted to study. Instead, he joined some other courses, completed the courses successfully and got a job in a company.
After a few years, Raj began to earn a lot of money and started to live luxuriously. He bought a new house, a new car and many other expensive things. Some of the luxuries were really unnecessary. Although his company provided him with a car, Raj still bought a new car! After almost 6-7 years, Raj could not afford to pay for all the money the family needed, even the basic things.
Later, Raj's father fell sick, and could not continue his work in the shop. He asked Raj to give some money for his treatment.
He complained to his parents，“You did not do anything to help me and you are a burden（负担） to me! Please don't come to me again.”
After a week, while Raj was on an official tour, he met a small boy aged about 10 years selling toys. The boy asked Raj to buy something. The boy said, “My father met with an accident a year ago. He has no arms now. He can't work now. My mom is working as a maid at a few houses. I'm helping my parents by selling toys.”
Raj bought a few toys from the little boy. He learned a lesson from the small boy. At a very small age, this boy was helping his parents, but Raj, in order to live a rich life, gave no care to his parents.

A. Anyone who works hard at school can get a good job.
B. The parents should give their children a rich life.
C. The boy selling toys was only ten years old.
D. Raj would care more about his parents from then on.
答案:【主旨大意】文章主要讲述了Raj一家过得并不好，可是他工作后却过着奢侈的生活，就连他的爸爸生病后向他求助，他都拒绝了。后来一个偶然的机会他看到一个小男孩通过卖玩具来帮助家里赚钱，减轻家里的负担，他才终于意识到了自己的错误。
48．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第二句，可知他的父亲挣不够足够多的钱，故选C。
49．A【解析】词义猜测题。由下文Raj买新居，购新车，买不需要的奢侈品等行为可知，他过得很奢侈，由此可猜测luxuriously 意为“in a rich way”，故选A。
50．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段和第五段，可知Raj的爸爸生病后，他拒绝了借钱给他爸爸看病，故选C。
51．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第六段和第七段可知，小男孩的行为让Raj意识到自己没有给予父亲关爱和帮助是错误的，因此可推知Raj从那以后会关心他的父母，故选D。

Smartphones have become an important part of our daily lives. According to a 2020 report by the China Internet Network Information Center, China had 989 million Internet users, among which about 21 percent were students. This is worrying, as long-time use of smartphones harms children's eyesight and even the brain, according to the World Health Organization.
Protecting younger students' eyesight and making sure they pay more attention to their studies are common worries among parents， teachers and schools， which means some rules to limit（限制）students＇ mobile phone use in schools are badly needed.
According to a notice from the Ministry of Education in January, primary and middle school students should be stopped from carrying mobile phones to school. Those who still require their phones for some reason must get their parents' and teachers' agreement and must hand in their phones during class time.
The government of Beijing has already taken action to ask all local primary and middle schools to include rules about smartphone use in school management, including making it clear where, how and who will take care of the phones for students who have received agreement to bring them.
That's why many schools have already limited students' phone use in schools. For example, every classroom in Beijing No.20 High School has a special box to store students' phones during class, and the teacher checks the phones every day.
Li Jisen, an 18-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School, agrees with the new rule. He believes that the rules of phone use at school will help the students pay attention to their study.
However, Kathy Chen, a parent from Shanghai, allowed her daughter to take her phone to school. Chen said it's more important to teach kids how to manage themselves and develop good habits of phone usage.
52. Students can't bring their phones to school unless__________.
A. their eyesight is good and they are good at studies

B. Smartphones-an Important Part of Our Daily Lives
C. Limiting Students' Smartphones Use in School
D. Advantages of Limiting Smartphone Use
54. If there is another paragraph, what may it be about?

B. How to protect younger students' eyesight and their brain.
C. How to buy a new phone without being noticed.

I still remember that was a sunny Sunday afternoon when I stopped at a teahouse to enjoy a cup of tea. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say,“ Hi, David! How are you doing?” Looking back, I saw a man, who looked kind of familiar. However, I couldn't remember where we had met before. The young man also held a cup of tea, so I asked him to join me. Very soon, his story began to evoke my memory.
His name is Peter, a boy I met on a cold night. After taking a piano lesson, Peter was driving to Texas to join in a friend's birthday party. A heavy snow had arrived that afternoon, and by midnight, the snowdrifts（雪堆） were getting deep. His car was stuck in a snowdrift just down the road from my house.
He walked to my house for help. I helped him pull his car out of the snowdrift and up to the street where the snow had been cleaned away. This was a normal happening here during the winter. I couldn't count the times someone had helped me to pull my car from a snowdrift. However, it was an unforgettable experience for him because he was only eighteen at that time, and he said he was very afraid at that time. After all, no one wanted to be stuck in a snowdrift at night.
Sometimes, one simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life. So, be kind and helpful.

46. Why is Peter thankful to David for such a normal thing?
A. Because nobody else wanted to help Peter.
B. Because it was the first time for Peter to get this kind of help.
C. Because Peter was so young and afraid at that time.
D. Because there was something wrong with his car.

答案:【主旨大意】本文主要讲述了David在多年前帮助Peter的善举，让Peter一直记忆犹新。该文告诉我们，即使是最简单的善举也至关重要。
44．B【解析】根据上下文可知 David在茶馆见到Peter时，只是觉得有点眼熟，却想不起来在哪见过他，Peter在讲述六年前发生的故事，David才回忆起多年前帮助Peter的事。故推测此处应为Peter的故事唤起了David的回忆。evoke引起，唤起。故选B。

Perhaps fashion makes you into “sheep”, which means it makes you run after others without looking for the one fitting us. However, it is hardly known that clothes designers study what ordinary people wear on the street. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual（个人的）finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable!
The same goes for electronic things. It seems that you will get out of fashion unless you get the latest phone or computer. So whenever a new electronic product comes out, thousands of people will go out of their ways to get it without considering the price. The reason for that is maybe that they take it as a way to show off or a chance to discuss the new function（功能） with others. However，have you ever thought about it is really necessary to buy a similar one with a function that you may not need? Besides, anything new can be replaced by the next new one, which means you can't keep up with fashion all the time and there is no need to follow the fashion.
The word fashion is generally used to mean style in clothing, which makes people handsome and cool. However, in my opinion, fashion can be something special and valuable, from which we can be different from others, such as valuable personal qualities and characters. Beautiful clothes will change from time to time. But the quality of positivity, bravery and persistence（坚持）never changes.
48. The designers get the inspiration from_________.
A. the clothes in different stores B. the way models wear the clothes
C. common people's clothes in our life D. their own personal taste in clothes
49. According to the passage, people like to buy the latest thing because_________.
A. they want to make more friends B. they really need it to make life easier
C. they plan to replace the old one D. they take pride in having it
50. The passage is written mainly to_________.
A. encourage us to value inner fashion
B. advise us to buy the latest things
C. give the explanation of sheep
D. show us different people's ideas about fashion
51. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Good personal qualities are the fashion that never changes. '
B. The writer has many friends with great interest in fashion.
C. Buying fashionable things is a good way to be fashionable.
D. We may not look cool only by keeping up with fashion.

WHO has worked for 70 years, since it was first set up as the lead agency for international health in the new United Nations system.

So WHO has changed its focus， along with health authorities（专家）around the world，to develop a healthy lifestyle such as healthy eating, physical exercise and regular health checks.
Since WHO changed its focus to a healthy lifestyle， it has always been trying to run global（全球的）health events on healthy cities in recent years, like building a community with few people smoking around. And since January this year, the outbreak of COVID-19, the organization has pulled together all over the world to bring the virus under control.
To succeed in reaching these goals, WHO expects people of all countries to care for each other and work together to build a global community of health for all!

Face App is popular around the world by giving users the chance to see their age and their future faces through it. There have been millions of people using it in the last seven-day period. The more useful point of the Face App is that it shows us something about our society and our future lives. However, it appears that we are more interested in aging. In fact, most younger people know little about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. Because they are busy working and studying, they really have no chance to plan for the future，with financial（经济） pressures. It also causes some problems including loneliness.
As a family doctor, I can see the problem about loneliness developing and elderly patients come to see me with no special illness. After a few minutes of the conversation, I understand the reason: they're not sick, and often they don't feel sick. They just need someone to talk to.
Although loneliness is not a kind of illness, the health effects are real: ▲ ,and it is more damaging（伤害）than obesity（肥胖）.It is easy for people to pay attention to the damage of smoking and obesity, but loneliness is hardly paid attention to.
But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest of our society is to go back to the traditional values of intergenerational（两代间的）cooperation（合作）instead of living with elderly people in the same house. Young people really need to pay attention to the care of elderly parents the same way as they treat a newborn child.
56. The example of the Face App is mentioned to_________.
A. show the popularity of it.
B. explain the function（作用）of it.
C. show the development of society.
D. introduce the topic of aging and loneliness.
57. Elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors, because they felt_________.
A. lonely B. worried C. upset D. thankful
58. Which sentence can be put in_________ in Paragraph 3?
A. People should protect elderly parents from loneliness.
B. Loneliness is as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
C. Eating too much is as harmful as loneliness itself.
D. People who have loneliness need to talk with others sometimes.
59.What can we learn from the passage?
A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.
B. Face App is helpful in dealing with the loneliness of the elderly.
C. We need to care about our future life and aging problems.
D. Family doctors should give out a helping hand to elderly people.
答案:【主旨大意】本文讲述了随着社会的发展，人们无暇顾及老人的精神世界，因此老人们感到越来越孤独，呼吁我们应该关注父母和老年人的精神世界。
56．D 【解析】根据第一段首句，即让用户会看到自己的年龄和将来的面容，与第二段“As a family doctor， I can see the problem about loneliness developing and elderly patients come to see me with no special illness.”可知举Face APP的例子意在引入人们感到年迈和孤独的话题。
57．A【解析】根据第二段可知，年迈的老人们由于强烈的孤独感导致他们虽然没病却去找医生看病，实则是去找人聊天。
58．B【解析】根据第三段内容以及后文提到了吸烟，则选B更为恰当。
59．A【解析】由全文末句可知，老人的孤独需要更多的关注。

Face-changing is a special skill of Sichuan Opera to show the feelings of different characters of the play. It is believed that this skill has a very long history. To scare away the dangerous animals, the ancient people painted their faces in different colors, making themselves look scary. Later this skill was taken into Sichuan Opera and gradually developed into a famous art form.

Memory likes to play tricks on us, taking us to places we once loved, but haven't seen in years.
It was early morning， raining and cold. Something woke me up. Two little feet bounced（蹦跳） down the stairs. It was my 7-year-old grandson Henry on his way to the kitchen to “cook breakfast”. I suddenly thought about cookies and my grandma baking in her stove（火炉）.
We＇d cover the cookies with butter（黄油） and top them with jam that we made with blackberries （黑莓）that I picked myself. That＇s what life was like when I visited my grandmother on her farm-picking blackberries, milking cows, eating cookies, running after the ducks...What more could a child ever want? I loved it, especially those cookies.
I got out of bed, feeling like it wasn't raining at all, and went downstairs to hug my grandchild and bake some cookies. They weren't great cookies. But they were good enough. We covered them with butter and jam. Henry ate two and kept eyeing mine until I gave him half. Maybe someday he'll say they were the best cookies ever.
The memories we leave with our children and grandchildren and all of our loved ones-like the cookies we bake and the stories that will be told about us long after we are gone-are never made with perfection（完美）.
Memories are just made with love. Love makes everything better, even without butter and jam.

Have you ever heard of Parura? It's a far-away mountainous county in Africa. For centuries, Parura's culture remains unchanged. There was no real industry（工业）.There were no schools， no electricity（电）， and hardly any cars. Most of the people had small farms. By the standard of other countries, the people there were quite poor but they had enough to live and they lived in peace.
Then the tourists（游客）came. There were only small groups at first， but then words of this beautiful land spread. The tourists couldn’t stand living in primitive（原始的）conditions so the first hotels were built in Parura. The hotels were followed by bars and shops. Then the government built roads so that cars could pass. The government needed to educate people for these new industries so schools were built and the decision was taken to educate children in English, the language of industry and tourism instead of the local（当地的）language.
Some of the Parurian people become quite rich, but the families who still work on the farms are left behind. Sometimes the tourists travel out of Parura to see these primitive people in their strange costumes. They take photos of them or film them with video cameras just like they are making a wildlife documentary（纪录片）.Some of these farmers in Parura feel sorry about their rural（农村的）culture and move to find work in the tourism industry. But there isn't enough work for everyone, so you find homeless people on the streets, begging tourists to have photos with them and getting some poor money in return.
There have been a lot of changes in Parura and you can't turn the clock back. But has there been any progress?
56. After the tourism began, many changes took place in Parura except that .

58.A 【解析】最后一段提到，在Parura已经发生了很多变化，而时钟不能倒转，但这些变化有为Parura带来进步吗？作者在最后一段提出疑问，说明他对这些改变持怀疑态度，由此可以推出他认为这些变化带来了一些不好的影响。
59．C【解析】本文是一篇说明文，说明文的特点就是严谨，客观；作者对Parura的改变进行了客观的描述，同时也指出了这些改变中也有不好的地方，对这些不好的地方表示担心，所以最后才会以疑问的口吻提出这样一个问题：真的有进步吗。由此推出作者的态度是严肃和担忧的。

Sometimes it seems they won't-but they almost always do if you just stay strong and look for help.
For a long time, I forgot about this sentence. But in this past year, it has become very important to me. I saw a lot of difficulties, both in my personal life and in the world. About the end of 2020, I got very sick and had to spend some time in the hospital. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic was

Humans always take things from nature. Probably we should think twice before doing that. The Aral Sea（咸海） is in central Asia． In the first half of the 20th century， the Aral Sea once was the world's fourth largest lake, with an area of 67 ,300 square kilometers. During that time, the Aral Sea produced about 20,000 to 40,000 tons of fish a year, and was a wonderful place to live in. However, by 2020, over 90% of it has dried up. The Aral Sea's drying off has become one of the worst environmental disasters（灾难）.
Why did the Aral Sea dry off？ The Aral Sea only receives water from two rivers， Amu Darya（阿姆河）and Syr Darya（锡尔河）．The government began to grow cotton in the 1960s． Cotton farmers used most of the water from the two rivers. Also, more people live near the Aral Sea than before. They take water from it. The Aral Sea loses more water.
How bad can it be? Aral Sea is getting smaller, so the area becomes a desert. The Aral Sea becomes very salty. The water is unfit for both wildlife and humans. The fishing industry there is almost destroyed. What's more, dust storms come from the dry seabed. They hurt crops and make people sick. The environment is greatly damaged（损害）.
Now, standing by the lifeless Aral Sea, humans should understand that there is always a price to pay.
56. The Aral Sea was about__________ in 2020 according to the passage.
A. 673 square kilometers B.6,730 square kilometers
C.67,300 square kilometers D.673,000 square kilometers

A. living around the Aral Sea endangers people's health
B. the Aral Sea's drying off has become the worst environmental disaster
C. the government has found another way for the economic（经济）development
D. humans may consider balancing economic development and nature protection
答案:【主旨大意】本文主要介绍了咸海概况，咸海干涸的原因，并告诚人们经济发展与环境保护要相互协调的故事。
56．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段在20世纪初，咸海的面积是67,300平方千米，到了2020年，90％以上都已经干涸了，可推算现在的面积只剩6,730平方千米，故选B。

These days, many pictures of Chinese students wearing winged-hats have been posted online. They use the hats to keep the distance when they return to school. Many people say the hats look like those worn during the Song Dynasty. But why did Song Dynasty officials wear hats that has two "wings"?
Ii is true that in the Song Dynasty , officials wore hats that had two long straight wings. According to one legend(传说) , the hats were designed by Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of the dynasty.
One day, when listening to a minister's report, Zhao noticed that many ministers were whispering (耳语) to each other and not respecting court's(朝廷的 ) rules. Zhao came up with a practical solution. He required that wings should be added to the ministers' hats.
Using a metal plate and bamboo strips as the frame, the "wings" prevented the ministers from
talking to others sitting beside them. Since then, the court order had been kept.
Although the story is recorded in a book from the Yuan Dynasty ( 1271-1368) , some historians think the story may not be true. The wing-like extensions might just be a decoration(装饰) that could make people look dignified (庄严的) . As they were not convenient to wear, the hats gradually disappeared in later dynasty. Maybe days later, the students will forget the "wings" , too.

Guangdong Province plans to make swimming lessons compulsory (必修的) in primary schools starting from 2021. And the courses will be given from the fourth grade. Do we need to make swimming compulsory in schools? Forum readers share their opinions.

As a boy born in a rural area, I learnt swimming in a river near my home when I was 7 or 8 years old. I used to play in the river with boys of my same age every summer, and we enjoyed it so much!

There are swimming lessons in my city, but I was very disappointed in how they were taught. The kids spent 45 minutes of the one hour lesson practicing strokes ON DRY LAND.

Most of us feel younger or older than we really are. This "subjective age" is simply based on the way we feel inside. Scientists find that "subjective age" is the key to understanding why some people appear to be energetic an they age-while others do not. What's more, studies have shown that you really are only as old as you feel in some real ways.
One interesting study has discovered our subjective age is connected with our personality. It is now well-accepted that people tend to become less open to new experiences while ageing. However, such personality changes are less pronounced in people with a younger heart and more noticeable in people with elder adjective ages. Moreover, people with younger subjective ages become more careful and make fewer mistakes. Bat the connection between health and subjective age almost certainly acts in both directions. If you often feel upset，you are likely to feel older. The result could be a vicious cycle（恶性循环）.In this way， the effect of subjective age on health is stronger than that of actual age.
When do we start to feel that our minds and bodies are running on different timescales? And why does it happen? One study finds that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are. But this changes at around 26, when 70% of them would feel younger. Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense. Believing “I may be 65 but I only feel 50" would mean you are less worried about your performance at work, for example. This thinking helps people free themselves from the society's sad view of ageing.
With these findings, it is possible that in the future, science might be able to reduce people's subjective age and improve their health as a result.
52. According to the passage, subjective age________ .
A. will not change when you get older
B. is simply based on how others think of you
C. is the number of years you have lived
D. results from your personal feelings of ageing
53. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.发声的 B.必要的 C.明显的 D.有条件的
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People with older subjective ages are healthier.
B. More people will have older subjective ages after 26.
C. Actual age has a stronger effect on people's health condition.
D. A lower subjective age may help people do better in their work.
55. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?
A. Future science will stop us from getting old.
B. Most children and teenagers feel older than they really are.
C. There are many secrets hidden in our brains.
D. Our society doesn't think highly of old people's work.
答案:【主旨大意】本文主要介绍了人的主观年龄对人的身体健康的重要性。
52．D【解析】推理判断题。根据“This＇subjective age＇ is simply based on the way we feel inside”可知这个“主观年龄”只是基于我们内心的感受。因此可知它是与我们个人对衰老的感觉有关的。故选D。
53．C【解析】词义猜测题。根据“．．．more noticeable in people with older subjective ages”可知在年龄较大的人中更明显。根据句子结构可知，more noticeable 与前面的 less pronounced是相对的，所以画线单词意思应该是“显而易见的、明显的”，故选C。
54．D【解析】推理判断题。根据“Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense. Believing 'I may be 65 but I only feel 50' would mean you are less worried about your performance at work, for example. This thinking helps people free themselves from the society's sad view of ageing.” 可知主观年龄越低可能帮助人们在工作中做得更好。故选D。
55．B【解析】细节理解题。根据“One study finds that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are”可知一 项研究发现，大多数儿童和青少年感觉自己比实际年龄大。故选B。

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said,“ The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are. ”This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative（消极的）.
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy. BBC's The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show's comedy comes from his delusions（错觉的）.For example， he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone， but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly poor person.
This side of British humor is reflected（反映）in friendships as well. At university， my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm（挖苦） quite upsetting. She didn't realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This way-laughing at everything-may sound rather depressing（沮丧），but our strange humor played a big part in British history. There is a saying in English:“ ▲ ,"If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it's best to just laugh it off!
56. Which of the following can be put in the________ ?
A. Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone
B. It never rains, it pours
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed
D. Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
57. How is British comedy different from other types?
A. It is often meaningless and boring.
B. It often laughs at human nature.
C. It is often about negative things.
D. It often makes people feel upset.
58.How does the writer advise people to react（反应）to British humor？
A. Learn from it.
B. Don't take it seriously.
C. Reply angrily.
D. Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
59. ________ best shows the structure of the passage.
(① = Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4 ⑤=Paragraph 5)

答案:【主旨大意】本文主要介绍了英式幽默的历史和特点等信息。
56．A 【解析】句意理解题。根据“If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it＇s best to just laugh it off！”可知此处应该是“Laugh and the world laughs with you； cry and you cry alone.”笑，世界与你 一起笑；哭泣，你独自哭泣。故选A。
57．C【解析】细节理解题。根据“The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are”以及“Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British.”可知英国人的幽默常常不是关于好事情的，而是关于坏事情的。故选C。
58．B【解析】推理判断题。根据“but it＇s best to just laugh it off！”可知作者建议人们一笑置之，不要当真。故选B。
59．A【解析】文章结构题。根据第一段中“Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative”可知 第一段主要介绍文章主题；根据第二段中“British comedy，for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy.” 和第三段中“Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain”可知第二段和第三段是通过英国剧中角色来说明英式幽默感；根据第四段中“This side of British humor is reflected in friendships as well”可知第四段主 要介绍了英式幽默在友谊中的反映；根据第五段中“If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying，but it＇s best to just laugh it off！”可知第五段主要是对全文的一个总结。因此A项的结构是正确的，故选A。

Lucy Walker, an 18-year-old girl, German
I won a national award（奖章）for the work I did on project to build an environmental centre. The centre is made out of 100% green materials, which means all materials were reused or recycled. The centre is somewhere kids can learn how to protect the environment. Then I realized that not everyone would have the chance to visit it. I therefore created an online guide program for kids to learn about the centre in their schools. I translated it into English as well so that it could be available to more people. All this took me two years. And I did it because I have a great love for the outdoors and being in the middle of wildlife. I expected other young people to be able to experience the same feeling as me.
Li Xiao, a college student from Guizhou, China
After seeing an article in the newspaper about an environmental competition, I didn't have any idea. When my close friend, Lin Tao, invited me to join in the competition, I still had no idea. Then we went to Student Union（学生会）and discussed it with some of the students there. They gave us confidence to join in the competition. We all agreed that we should start by doing small things. So we set up a project at the local primary school to encourage kids to plant trees. We taught the kids the importance of taking care of the environment and how trees can help. Each of the pupils was given two young trees; One to take home and plant in their garden, and one to give to a neighbor or a friend. A sign was put on each tree, saying the name of the project. I think the project was a really good way of getting the message across to more people.

Nowadays heavy traffic can happen anywhere. People can get very anxious if they are in heavy traffic. For many years people have tried to invent a car that can fly. If a person is driving a flying car, the heavy traffic would be far below him.
Many companies around the world are developing flying cars. They hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxis in or out of cities. These cars could save time in emergencies （突发事件） and help reach places that can＇t be reached by road. They also hope to save the space on the ground. Flying cars won't use runways, because they are able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down.
Last September, Sky Drive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot on board, the car was flown around for four minutes.
Flying cars need strong power to fly in the sky freely like the airplanes. Sky Drive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries（电池）．There are eight motors（发动机）lifting it straight off the ground． The design also produces less pollution.
Although the SD-03's test flight was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. ▲ Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails? If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That's why the SD-03 has eight motors-some are backups（备用物）．Flying cars are also very expensive． The SD-03， for example, is expected to sell for up to $ 500,000.
Yet people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads Sky Drive ,hopes that by 2050,people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.
56. The underlined word “it" in Paragraph 4 refers to
A. the airplane B. Sky Drive C. a battery D. the SD-03
57. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 5?
A. The price of the flying cars is not low at all.
B. There are still many challenges in the way.
C. Because it can make our life much easier.
D. Because the motors may fail to work.
58.We can infer from the passage that_______ in the future because of flying cars.
A. no accidents may happen on the streets
B. the sky might become busier and busier
C. people could fly anywhere in ten minutes
D. there may be no cars driving on the streets

There are different styles of Taijiquan. Wudang Tai Chi is one of them. Wudang Tai Chi is said to have been invented by Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist monk. It is said that he once watched a snake and a bird fighting. He was so impressed by the skills used by each animal, and then he made use of them to develop his own martial art.

Do you find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Have you ever fallen asleep in class? Across the world, bedtimes are getting later and teenagers are sleeping less. Health experts suggest that teenagers should get around nine hours' sleep, but only a third of us get eight hours' sleep.
So what are the reasons for this? Well, stress is an important factor. Like many young people, I find it hard to go to sleep before a big event such as an exam.
Our increasing use of technology may also be to blame. New research at King's College London shows that using electronic products before going to bed makes it twice as likely you'll sleep badly that night. And in the following day, this shortage of sleep can make it difficult to learn well in class.
But while many schools are trying to solve this problem by starting the school day later, some schools in the United States are trying something a bit different--they have set up sleeping areas, where students can sleep for 20 minutes in special chairs. I recently tried one of these chairs and my first thought was that it looked like something from a science-fiction film. It was an egg-shaped chair that reclined（斜躺），with a round lid that could be pulled over on the top. When I lay down on it， the top part slowly covered my head and upper body so that it became dark inside. Some people might find that scary, but I didn't mind, and the gentle music was quite nice. I started to feel sleepy, and that was all I could remember until the lights came on and I woke up. Then, when I got up, I felt more energetic than I'd been before.
Sleepy students can't pay much attention to their study. So the best way is to find ways to make sure they all get enough sleep at night, so that nobody has to go to school feeling tired.
52. The underlined phrase“ be to blame" in Paragraph Three probably means
A. be a reason B. be a choice C. be changed D. be taken the place
53. ________ may be the picture of the special chair.


C.
54. The writer's opinion about the special chairs is that________.
A. he thought the chairs might be a little scary to lie on
B. he felt the chairs were uncomfortable and expensive
C. he wasn't sure whether they were necessary or not
D. he believed the chairs would help people sleep better

Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and beautiful.
So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials such as paper or glass, and breaks them down so their base materials can be reused to make a new product. When you upcycle an item, you are not breaking down the material, you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes out of old tyres. Also, the upcycled item is typically of the same, or even better quality than the original（原来的）.
In fact, upcycling isn't a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn't have enough materials. In those days, things were reshaped and reused over and over until they were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be made into a new dining table.
Nowadays， saving is still a trend（趋势） and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment. The simple fact of the matter is that upeycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, that's one item less that ends upon the waste mountain. Upcycling is also more environmentally-friendly than recycling, which needs less energy or water to break down materials. Instead, it just needs your own creativity and effort. For example, Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats.
There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort through（整理）your recycling bins and create items yourself, or buy ready-made items from upcycled materials. Both ways benefit the environment and in return, you get something that's both attractive and practical.
56.Compared with recycling, upcycling________.
A. can sometimes improve the quality of items
B. needs more energy than recycling
C. needs to break down base materials
D. produces more waste than recycling
57. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph Two refers to________.
A. materials that are used to recycle

C. people who recycle things
D. people who upcycle things
58.The writer probably agrees that________.
A. it is better to make clothes with used tea bags
B. upcycling is much greener than recycling
C. it is necessary to help others to upcycle
D. people need to be more creative
59. The best title of the passage may be “________”.
A. Get Started to Recycle Today! B. Let's Learn to Upcycle Together!

2021 is the Year of the Ox. In China, you will find various ox figures made of gold, wood, plastic, paper, shell and stone on sale in stores and on streets to celebrate the return. But why was the ox chosen to be one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs（生肖）？Centuries ago，most
people made their living through farming. The ox was used to help plow, cultivate and carry heavy goods. The ox has had a significant place in Chinese culture. Ancient Chinese poets and writers frequently described the ox in literature. In the Classie of Poetry（《诗经》），the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, the animal was mentioned in nine out of the 305 pieces.
The ox is considered a symbol of diligence and earnestness（认真）in Chinese culture. To this day， the phrase “the spirit of ox” still refers to conquering（战胜） anything that may present itself as an obstacle（障碍）.The spirit is highly praised and many people follow it as their work ethic（工作准则）. When someone achieves a great accomplishment through hard work， people often use “niu（牛）”， meaning “awesome”, to describe him or her.
Oxen seldom bully（欺负）the weak or fear the strong. They work hard and make sacrifices （牺牲）.
This is reflected in a couplet from a poem by Lu Xun(1881 - 1936) :“Fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers; Head bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children”, which fully expresses the poet's loyalty to the people.
So naturally, those who were born in the Year of the Ox are often expected to be hardworking, reliable and loyal. “They never seek to be the center of attention and do not look for praise,” the website China Highlights noted.
52. What is “the spirit of ox”. according to the passage?

Nowadays, from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, new trains run across rocky mountains and the Great Wall to the north of Beijing like bullets. The railway is an important support project for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Some of the trains on this railway are smart trains that can even run by themselves.

Passengers can also watch live sports programs during the Winter Olympics on the train, which is helped with 5G technology.
▲ ,In 1872,the Qing government chose 30 young boys to be sent to the US to study. They were the first students in Chinese history to study abroad. Zhan Tianyou was one of them. After graduating from Yale University, Zhan came back to China. In 1905,the Qing government decided to build a railroad between Beijing and Zhangjiakou. Zhan, who studied engineering, led the project. The project is best-known for its Y-shaped switchback（人字形坡路）.There are many mountains along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway. It was difficult for trains to climb the mountains.
He led construction（建设） on the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway， China＇s first independently-designed railway. It was not possible to build a railway without foreign help at that time. But Zhan, the head engineer of the railway project，insisted（坚持）that it could be done.
Zhan came up with an idea to reduce the slope（坡度）：a Y-shaped switchback. Instead of going directly from A to B along a steep（陡的） slope， the train goes from A to C first and then from C to B. This makes the slope much less steep. After many difficulties, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line went into operation in 1909. Its trains ran at 35 km/h.
As President Xi Jinping said, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway stands for the development of China's railways over more than a century, as well as China's development in general.

C. He was chosen and sent to the US to study engineering with other young boys in 1872.
D. Though he went through a lot of difficulties, he succeeded at last.
57. Why did Zhan Tian you design the Y-shaped switchback?
A. To help people know more about sightseeing nearby.
B. To make China's second independently-designed railway famous.
C. To make himself famous.
D. To reduce the slope of mountains.
58. Which sentence is the most suitable for ▲ ?
A. Zhan Tian you, the designer of Beidou Navigation Satellite System, helped a lot.
B. In fact, Zhan Tianyou plays an important role in China's railway history.
C. It's easy for people to study abroad in Qing Dynasty.
