Some free things to do in Bangkok to get more bang for your baht (泰铢).

Chatuchak Weekend Market

One of the largest markets in the world, Chatuchak is a simply unforgettable Bangkok experience, even if you don’t plan on buying anything. It’s free to visit and there are more than 15,000 stalls to explore from antiques and souvenirs to used trainers, miniature (微缩模型) food offerings for spirit houses and live frogs.

The full market operates from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. You’d better arrive by 10 am to beat the crowds and the heat.

Papaya

Technically, many of the objects in this celebrated four-story antique store are for sale, but prices for the owner’s collection of 19th- and 20th-century artifacts are so astronomically high that the collection never seems to exhaust. Instead, many see Papaya as a museum of recent nostalgia (怀旧),and it’s a great place to browse without any pressure to buy.

Bangkok Doll Factory & Museum

This workshop was founded by Thai doll enthusiast Khunying Chandavimol in 1956 after she completed a doll-making course in Japan. Her dolls draw on Thai mythology and various historical periods, and the collection includes some 400 dolls from around the world, plus important pieces from her own workshop, where you can watch the figures being crafted by hand for free.

The museum is tricky to find; take a taxi from BTS Phaya Thai and get the driver to call the museum for directions.

Chinatown

Thick with the scent of traditional herbal medicines, Bangkok’s Chinatown offers a sensory experience that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. The narrow market alleys off Yaowarat Road are crammed with (塞满) bird’s-nest soup restaurants, dangling lanterns, gaudy gold and jade shops, and flashing neon signs in Chinese characters. It is Bangkok’s most crowded neighborhood, where half the fun is in getting completely lost.

21．Which of the following will be your best choice, if you are looking for a 1960s typewriter?

A．Chatuchak or Papaya.      B．Chatuchak or Chinatown.

C．Papaya or Bangkok Doll Factory.    D．Papaya or Chinatown.

22．Which place is a little bit hard to arrive at?

A．Chatuchak.   B．Papaya.

C．Bangkok Doll Factory.   D．Chinatown.

23．What do the four places have in common?

A．All of the objects for sale are expensive.   B．Visitors can always find delicious food there.

C．You can just window shop as you like.   D．You are able to visit the places anytime.

B

After schools moved online a year ago because of COVID-19, Jonte Lee, a teacher in Washington, DC．was determined to make his chemistry labs interactive and accessible. He figured the way to do so was to connect to the students on social platforms.

As a result, Lee has been livestreaming (网络直播) his lessons on Instagram and Facebook, inspiring students to follow along at home. Lee’s principal suggested he livestream a lab last April. “Our thought behind it was students know how to use Instagram and Facebook,” Lee said,

Realizing that most of his students would not have access to lab equipment when they had online lessons, Lee largely uses items that can be found in most kitchens. “And if there’s something a student doesn’t have, I don’t mind shipping it to the student,” he said.

Since beginning his lessons, Lee has heard from viewers across the country about how his classes have improved their experience of attending online school. One woman told Lee she had been worried about supervising her grandchildren’s classes at home. “She was like, ‘I know nothing about science, what’s going to happen?’ and then she came across my page,” said Lee. “Stories like that really touch my heart.”

Lee also has bought and delivered backpacks, school supplies, and even Amazon Fire tablets to each of his students. Lee poured his summer school teaching salary into the endeavor, calling is an “incredible experience”. Lee’s favorite lesson described how to make ice cream in three different ways, because of how engaged his students were even after the livestream ended.

Lee plans to continue posting videos even after students go back to school in person. “As a public school teacher, I have no intention to be famous or make money. I simply want to give back to all the taxpayers that fund my salary,” said Lee. “This allowed me to be a community teacher, and not a teacher that is bound by the four walls in my classroom.”

24．What can we learn about Jonte Lee?

A．He didn’t know how to make his online classes interesting.

B．His idea was not supported by the principle in his school.

C．He mostly chose items found in kitchen for his online lessons.

D．He guided students to use Instagram and Facebook.

25．What does the underlined word “supervising” probably mean in Para.4?

A．managing    B．skipping    C．teaching    D．attending

26．What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?

A．Lee’s classes have a negative effect on people.  B．Lee’s students show no interest in his classes at all.

C．Lee plans to continue posting videos to earn money. D．Lee’s purpose is to pay back to society as a teacher.

27．Which word can best describe Jonte Lee?

A．Cautious.    B．Determined.   C．Humorous.   D．Awkward.

C

For decades, India’s time zone has been a hotly debated issue. Back in 1884 when time zones were officially established, two time zones were used — Bombay Time and Calcutta Time. Indian Standard Time (IST) was introduced in 1906, but Calcutta Time and Bombay Time continued to be maintained after

India’s independence in 1947, until 1948 and 1955 respectively. The current single time zone, though a legacy of British rule, is often viewed as a symbol of unity. Yet, not everyone thinks it is a good idea. India stretches 3,000 km from east to west, spanning roughly 30 degrees longitude. This corresponds to a two-hour difference in mean solar time, based on the position of the sun in the sky. Thus, the sun rises nearly two hours earlier in the east than in India’s far west. In Northeastern states, sunrise can be as early as 4 a.m. in summer and sunset by 4 p.m. in winter, much earlier than the official working hours. This results in great loss of daylight hours and more consumption of electricity, and often reduced productivity.

Meanwhile, recent studies point out that the current system leads to a serious problem in education for some students. Nationwide, the school day starts at roughly the same time; thus, children go to bed later and have reduced sleep in west India, where the sun sets later. Such sunset-induced sleep deprivation is more pronounced among the poor, mostly due to their noisy environment and lack of sleep-inducing facilities like window shades or indoor beds. On average, an hour’s delay in sunset time reduces children’s sleep by 30 minutes, and an hour’s delay in annual average sunset time reduces education by about 0.8 years. As a result, children living in locations with later sunsets are less likely to complete primary and middle school education.

Despite various requests and proposals for multiple time zones, the government is keen to retain the current system. Reasons provided include prevention of confusion and safety issues regarding railway and flight operations.

28．Which of the following illustrates the Indian time zone system since 1955?

A．                    B．                       C．                       D．

29．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “pronounced” in the third paragraph?

A．Noisy. B．Distant. C．Flexible. D．Outstanding.

30．According to the passage, which of the following is a supporting argument for multiple time zones?

A．The number of traffic accidents can be reduced.

B．Children may have better-quality sleep and education.

C．India may have more energy resources to generate electricity.

D．The country may rid itself of the impact of British colonization.

31．According to the passage, when is most likely the sunset hour in December in the city of Varanasi shown on the map?

A．7 p.m. B．6 p.m. C．5 p.m. D．4 p.m.

D

It seemed interesting that on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s departure for France, the Indian and French governments issued similar statements on the prospects of an agreement on the purchase of the Rafale aircraft: that no single deal should be allowed to overshadow the Prime Minister’s visit. Indeed, India-France relations are much bigger than any one contract; they represent the cultural affinityl (密切关系) and historic relations between two vibrant (醒目的) democracies. The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range of commonalities — from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities; from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars; from discussing anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear partnership. The economic aspect of the relationship has been ignored for too long. Although more than a thousand French companies have a total investment of about $20 billion in India, bilateral trade is worth just $8 billion. While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister put the spotlight back on defence ties by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as the highlight of his talks with President Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity, it could have been discussed a few weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to the technical specifications and delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off the shelf abroad, detracts from Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative (主动性).

The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows the positive outcome of Mr. Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As in the case of Indo-U.S. nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting the problem into different silos — allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and legal aspects. The supplementary deal involving Areva and L&T producing heavy forging metal casing for nuclear reactors is an important step in localising some of the expensive parts. During his visit to Canada, where he hopes to sign a deal for uranium supplies, Mr. Modi means to take forward his plan to increase nuclear energy production. Given this objective, it may be useful for him to round off the visit by discussing his nuclear energy plans in Germany as well, which is now winding down on nuclear power but is at the cutting edge of nuclear safety research for the European Pressurised Reactors that are being considered for India.

32．Which of the following got the whole attention other than many important deals?

A．Cooperation on a space mission to Mars.   B．Anti-terror training.

C．Purchase of Rafale Fighters.   D．General VK Singh’s remark on the Press.

33．Which of the following option is on the agenda of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi as stated above?

A．Preservation of ancient architecture.   B．Development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities.

C．Construction of semi-high-speed railway lines. D．All of the above.

34．Choose an appropriate Title for the above passage:       .

A．The Big Deal B．Modi’s Success C．Modi’s tour to France D．Rafale and beyond

35．Which of the following is the meaning of the word ‘logjam’?

A．A long traffic jam during Prime Minister Modi’s visit. B．A state of mind where you cannot decide what to do.

C．A situation that seems like unable to be settled.  D．A place from where The French President used to work.

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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Self-esteem is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. ___36___ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.

People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or “full of themselves”. ___37___ They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem “sure of themselves”.

If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. ___38___

However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. ___39___ It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.

 ___40___ It will take some work but your entire life — from your relationships to your body image to your work habits — will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.

A．Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.

B．You have the power to shape a new self-perception.

C．This encourages you to speak openly without worry.

D．The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakes.

E．Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth.

F．People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence.

G．With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth.

The once-futuristic idea of sequencing every newborn child’s DNA to screen for genes that could shape their future health is being put to two major tests. The United Kingdom this week announced plans to sequence the genomes(基因组)of 100, 000 newborns for about 200 rare genetic diseases starting next year. In New York City, a similar project ____56____(screen)100, 000 babies.

The goal is to catch treatable diseases that standard newborn screening cannot detect. ____57____ sequencing delivers an early warning of a problem, the baby could receive care that prevents permanent disability or even death.

But sequencing the full genomes of new-borns raises a host of ethical questions, including ____58____ will get access to the data, and whether ____59____ will needlessly worry parents by revealing genes that may never cause serious illness. “We’re really aware of the ____60____(complex) of the questions, ” says Richard Scott, chief medical officer for Genomics England, the government-funded company ____61____(run) the U. K. project. At the same time, he says, “There is a really pressing need“ to detect more childhood diseases.

In many countries, ____62____ drop of blood from every newborn’s heel is screened, using mostly biochemical ____63____(test), for up to several dozen genetic diseases. They range from metabolic disorders ____64____ can be treated with a special diet to muscle diseases that have drug treatments. Whole-genome sequencing, which is much ____65____(costly)-up to $1000, could detect many more disorders, such as thyroid conditions that can cause brain damage.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.

One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.

After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.

“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.

The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice.
