四、阅读理解（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）
A
Australian colour consultant（顾问）Kylie Bartnicki is talking with a group of women in Pudong, Shanghai, who are interested in how colours affect people's confidence and help form（形成）people's first impressions（印象）．
Kylie traces（追溯）back her interest in colours to when she went for her first job interview at age 18. "My mother bought me a new red top to wear to my interview and she said, "Wear this, and it will be lucky."' Kylie recalls. "I wore it, had a great interview and got the job. Ever since then I started thinking about how powerful the colour is, how it makes us look and how it makes us feel."
"When we wear clothes in a good colour, the colour will make our skin, hair and eyes shine and we look happy and smart," Kylie says.
Winter and summer are "cool colourings" and autumn and spring are "warm colourings". Someone who loves "cool colouring" might have red or golden hair, brown eyes and gold or yellow skin.
Chinese women belong to the "autumn season" if they have darker, peachy skin. Chinese women belong to the "winter season" if they have pale skin. Kylie says that Chinese women who have dark eyes and dark hair will look best in deep, rich colours. Light pinks and blues should be avoided because they may wash our Chinese skin tones（肤色）．
Their talk usually lasts one and a half to two hours and costs 600 yuan (89 dollars). Kylie says her customers(客户) are as young as five years old and as old as 90. The customers between their 30s and 50s always want some fresh ideas on developing their own personal style.
41．Chinese women who have dark eyes and dark hair won't look beautiful in .
A．purple B．red C．deep green D．light blue
42．A mother and her daughter need to pay to get the advice from Kylie for their 2-hour talk.
A．$89 B．$120 C．$178 D．$600
43．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Wearing clothes in a good colour will make us look happy.
B．When Kylie was 18, she started to be interested in colours.
C．Kylie's customers are in between their 30s and 50s.
D．Autumn and spring are "warm clourings".
B
He tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the fish. The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly.
I'll try it again, the old man promised himself, although he had little strength now and could not see things clearly.
He tried it again and it was the same. So he thought, and he felt himself going before he started; I will try it once again.
He took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fish's pain and the fish came over onto his side and swam gently, his mouth almost touching the boat.
The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon(鱼叉) as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just gathered, into the fish's side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the height of the man's chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned(倚靠) on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it.
Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. He seemed to hang in the air above the old man. Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the boat.

Shanghai started garbage sorting（垃圾分类）on July 1st, 2019. Since then, people in Shanghai have taken part in it actively. However, we can often see the elderly gathering around the boards with garbage sorting knowledge, but young people are hardly ever seen there. To make young people more involved in（参与到）garbage sorting, a lot of mobile programmes and games that spread the knowledge about it have come into being.
A 15-second video of a game became the hottest online in the past few days. In the video, there are four different kinds of garbage bins in front of players, and the players should throw different kinds of garbage into the corresponding bins to get scores.
This game appeared at the Mobile World Congress（世界移动通信大会）held in Shanghai last week. Although it wasn’t the only game there, it caught the most attention. “I’m in great need of this game. Maybe I won’t need to check how to sort garbage on my phone if I play this game more often,” Zhou Zhou says, a young woman from Shanghai.
Wu Xia, the CEO of the company that created the game, says, “We want to provide a simple and interesting way of learning garbage sorting. With it, people can practise garbage sorting without going through the rubbish in real life, and it also works better than paper materials when training garbage sorting volunteers.”
The garbage sorting game was launched（发布）on the Steam platform and China’s Tencent WeGame platform in August this year, according to Wu.
47．What does the underlined word “corresponding” probably mean in Chinese?
A．常见的 B．类似的 C．相应的 D．传统的
48．What is the purpose of this game?
A．To be used as a garbage sorting volunteer.
B．To encourage young people to learn garbage sorting.
C．To teach people how to make the city more beautiful and cleaner.
D．To provide an interesting way of reducing household garbage.
49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The garbage needs to be sorted in four kinds in the game.
B．People began to play Wu Xia’s game from early July.
C．Zhou Zhou doesn’t support Wu Xia’s game.
D．Wu Xia’s game was the only game at the Mobile World Congress.
D.
It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn't fully accepted abroad. The 2001 film Treatment(《刮痧》)tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who's charged with guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson's disease.
During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and areas.
"We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals," said Wang Guoqiang at a news meeting on Dec 6. "Governments of 86 countries and areas have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation(合作)."
One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria(抗疟疾)drug qinghaosu(青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize, TCM became even more famous all over the world.
However, all these achievements in TCM don't mean that it's problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.
Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with western medicine.
"Bringing together with western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential(潜力)for great effects is," said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative(代表)of the World Health Organization.
50．The film Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to ______
A．show TCM is increasingly popular B．introduce the film Treatment to readers
C．prove TCM is not fully accepted abroad D．arouse readers' interest in Chinese medicine
51．We can learn from the passage that _______.
A．TCM is not exact in curing diseases
B．10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals
C．86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM
D．Tu Youyou's success contributes to the popularity of TCM
52．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Report on TCM B．TCM&Western Medicine
C．Opinions about TCM D．TCM Treatment Spreads

八、阅读表达 (共3小题；满分6分，分别为1，2，3分)
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地), the following things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make up sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs (段落) so that we can write a good letter or article.
There is no easy way to learn a language well. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough to remember rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We learn words not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
78．What is of great help to language learning?

80．Do you think it is difficult to learn a foreign language? Why or why not?

Australian colour consultant（顾问）Kylie Bartnicki is talking with a group of women in Pudong, Shanghai, who are interested in how colours affect people's confidence and help form（形成）people's first impressions（印象）．
Kylie traces（追溯）back her interest in colours to when she went for her first job interview at age 18. "My mother bought me a new red top to wear to my interview and she said, "Wear this, and it will be lucky."' Kylie recalls. "I wore it, had a great interview and got the job. Ever since then I started thinking about how powerful the colour is, how it makes us look and how it makes us feel."
"When we wear clothes in a good colour, the colour will make our skin, hair and eyes shine and we look happy and smart," Kylie says.
Winter and summer are "cool colourings" and autumn and spring are "warm colourings". Someone who loves "cool colouring" might have red or golden hair, brown eyes and gold or yellow skin.
Chinese women belong to the "autumn season" if they have darker, peachy skin. Chinese women belong to the "winter season" if they have pale skin. Kylie says that Chinese women who have dark eyes and dark hair will look best in deep, rich colours. Light pinks and blues should be avoided because they may wash our Chinese skin tones（肤色）．
Their talk usually lasts one and a half to two hours and costs 600 yuan (89 dollars). Kylie says her customers(客户) are as young as five years old and as old as 90. The customers between their 30s and 50s always want some fresh ideas on developing their own personal style.

He tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the fish. The fish righted himself and swam off again slowly.
I'll try it again, the old man promised himself, although he had little strength now and could not see things clearly.
He tried it again and it was the same. So he thought, and he felt himself going before he started; I will try it once again.
He took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fish's pain and the fish came over onto his side and swam gently, his mouth almost touching the boat.
The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon(鱼叉) as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just gathered, into the fish's side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the height of the man's chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned(倚靠) on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it.
Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. He seemed to hang in the air above the old man. Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the boat.

Shanghai started garbage sorting（垃圾分类）on July 1st, 2019. Since then, people in Shanghai have taken part in it actively. However, we can often see the elderly gathering around the boards with garbage sorting knowledge, but young people are hardly ever seen there. To make young people more involved in（参与到）garbage sorting, a lot of mobile programmes and games that spread the knowledge about it have come into being.
A 15-second video of a game became the hottest online in the past few days. In the video, there are four different kinds of garbage bins in front of players, and the players should throw different kinds of garbage into the corresponding bins to get scores.
This game appeared at the Mobile World Congress（世界移动通信大会）held in Shanghai last week. Although it wasn’t the only game there, it caught the most attention. “I’m in great need of this game. Maybe I won’t need to check how to sort garbage on my phone if I play this game more often,” Zhou Zhou says, a young woman from Shanghai.
Wu Xia, the CEO of the company that created the game, says, “We want to provide a simple and interesting way of learning garbage sorting. With it, people can practise garbage sorting without going through the rubbish in real life, and it also works better than paper materials when training garbage sorting volunteers.”
The garbage sorting game was launched（发布）on the Steam platform and China’s Tencent WeGame platform in August this year, according to Wu.
47．What does the underlined word “corresponding” probably mean in Chinese?
A．常见的 B．类似的 C．相应的 D．传统的
48．What is the purpose of this game?
A．To be used as a garbage sorting volunteer.

49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The garbage needs to be sorted in four kinds in the game.
B．People began to play Wu Xia’s game from early July.
C．Zhou Zhou doesn’t support Wu Xia’s game.
D．Wu Xia’s game was the only game at the Mobile World Congress.

It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn't fully accepted abroad. The 2001 film Treatment(《刮痧》)tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who's charged with guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson's disease.
During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and areas.
"We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals," said Wang Guoqiang at a news meeting on Dec 6. "Governments of 86 countries and areas have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation(合作)."
One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou-the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria(抗疟疾)drug qinghaosu(青蒿素)-won the Nobel Prize, TCM became even more famous all over the world.
However, all these achievements in TCM don't mean that it's problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.
Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with western medicine.
"Bringing together with western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential(潜力)for great effects is," said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representative(代表)of the World Health Organization.
50．The film Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph is to ______
A．show TCM is increasingly popular B．introduce the film Treatment to readers
C．prove TCM is not fully accepted abroad D．arouse readers' interest in Chinese medicine
51．We can learn from the passage that _______.
A．TCM is not exact in curing diseases
B．10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by locals
C．86 countries have cooperated with China on TCM
D．Tu Youyou's success contributes to the popularity of TCM
52．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Report on TCM B．TCM&Western Medicine
C．Opinions about TCM D．TCM Treatment Spreads

八、阅读表达 (共3小题；满分6分，分别为1，2，3分)
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地), the following things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make up sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs (段落) so that we can write a good letter or article.
There is no easy way to learn a language well. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough to remember rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We learn words not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
78．What is of great help to language learning?
