NEW HAVEN, Connecticut—A surprise awaited students in Yale who showed up for Professor Laurie Santos’s class. They got slips of paper that said, “No class today.” There was only one rule for the students’ unexpected free time—They were not allowed to study, but to relax. Since exams and papers were coming up, everyone was tired and stressed. At this moment they were touched. With around applause, nine students hugged Santos, and two burst into tears.
Yet, cancelling class was not just a break. It was also a challenge, as she was asking them to stop worrying about their grades, even if it was just an hour. One student went to the Yale University Art Gallery for the first time in her four years at Yale. A group of students went to a recording studio and played a new song. More people were outside, and more were smiling. That’s why about 1,200 students were taking Santos’s class, called “Psychology and the Good Life,” the largest class in Yale’s 317-year history. Even non-Yale students had the chance to take Santos’s class. It was offered as an online course and she immediately became an Internet hit.
Skyler Robinson, one of her students, was at a loss for a while about what to do during his break, and then decided to take a nap. “It was a great nap,” he commented. Santos designed the class after she realized that her students kept busy through long days that seemed far more depressing and joyless than her own college years. “They feel they’re in this crazy rat race. They’re working so hard that they can’t take a single hour off. That’s awful.”
The ideas behind the class are simple. Santos said, “It is the hope that science can help students find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college.” The lessons include showing more gratitude, performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections. The students really wanted to learn to lead a happy life in a science-driven way. Santos also noted the psychological happening of “miswanting”, which led people to work towards the wrong goals in life.
One week, Santo asked students to exercise. Another week, she wanted them to get more sleep. They worked hard to keep some new habits. Social science research led to many new understandings of how people find happiness. She thinks her class can change Yale, or rather, not just Yale.
24. What were the students’ attitudes to the cancelling class?
A. They hardly expressed their concern.
B. They were completely at a loss what to do.
C. They showed no difference to the teacher.
D. They mostly chose their own way to enjoy the free time.
25. What did the numbers in the latter part of paragraph 2 infer?
A. Santos’s class has a high attendance in Yale’s 317-year history.
B. Santos’s class was the most popular in the U.S.A.
C. Santos’s class was one of the largest classes in history.
D. Santos’s class had the longest history in Yale.
26. What benefit can students gain from Santos’s class?
A. Peace and happiness. B. A strong body.
C. Some new hobbies. D. Good study habits.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Students had a more stressful time in college.
B. Students would be in rat race after Santos’s class.
C. Santos hoped to help a wider range of people.
D. Santos is going to cancel more classes for better effects.

When French musical Mozart-L’ opera Rock toured nine Chinese cities in the last two years, it drew a big crowd of fans, including Chen Yike, a 28-year-old resident of Hangzhou.
“It was the first French musical that I had ever seen,” Chen said. She was so captivated by the show that she saw the production two more times.
Chen is one of many young Chinese who are increasingly fueling the country’s performing arts market. More and more young people are investing time and money in live performances, such as concerts and plays.
According to a report released by the Lighthouse Research Institute and ticketing firm Damai on March 25, young Chinese accounted for a record 55 percent of consumers of performing arts ticket sales in 2019 and 72 percent of concert attendees were people born after 1990.
Xiaomi, a 25-year-old girl from Chongqing became a loyal fan of singer Hua Chenyu after she saw his concert at the National Stadium in Beijing in 2018. Last year, she and three of her friends even traveled to Hainan province to see one of his concerts.
“It has now become a way of life for young people to spend money on performances by their idols,” Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University, told China Daily.
Apart from young audiences, Chinese young performers are also doing increasingly well in the domestic market and show a great potential for indigenous (本土的) culture to build a stronghold . For example, the 19-year-old Chinese singer-actor Jackson Yee featured as a coach on the reality show Street Dance of China. With more than 80 million followers on his Sina Weibo platform, Yee’s participation helped attract audiences to an otherwise less known art.
On the iQiYi’s The Big Band, many young bands got the opportunity to show their music, and some have become quite popular. As a result, music that would have remained underground is now in the spotlight. “Many young bands on the The Big Band inspire me to learn more about their stories and indie (独立制作的) music,” Yang Zixu, a fan of The Big Band, wrote on the Chinese Q&A platform Zhihu.
Thanks to the joint effort of young audiences and performers, there’s “a driving force for Chinese cultural and creative industries” and it also “indicates China has entered a higher stage of development with better economic and social foundations,” according to China Daily.
28. The underlined word “captivated” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”.
A. confused B. shocked
C. fascinated D. disappointed
29.What is the main method the author used to develop arguments?
A. By making a comparison. B. By using examples.
C. By following the order of time. D. By analyzing the cause and effect.
30. How did Street Dance of China and The Big Band promote Chinese cultural and creative industries according to the text?
A. They offered young people a glimpse of new lifestyles.
B. They allowed different works and forms of arts to gain more attention.
C. They made audiences more willing to invest in live shows.
D. They drew talented followers to the coaches in the show.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How young people have helped fuel Chinese cultural and creative industries.
B. Changes in the ways that young Chinese performers attract audiences.
C. How young Chinese performers promote indigenous culture.
D. The popularity of live performances among young Chinese.

The moon may shine white above us most nights of the year, but how much do we know about Earth’s neighbor and what lies beneath its surface? Scientists are aiming to find out.
On Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft landed on the far side of the moon--a first for humanity. It released a small probe (探测器), Yutu 2, or Jade Rabbit 2, which began to search beneath the moon’s surface using Lunar Penetrating Radar. These radio signals can reach 40 meters underground, three times the depth of the Chang’e 3 lunar probe launched in 2013 for the near side of the moon, China Daily reported.
In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers found that the lunar soil’s top layer on the far side of the moon was much thicker than expected--about 40 meters. Other scientists only expected about 6 millimeters of soil based on NASA observations during the Apollo moon landings, according to The New York Times.
“It’s a fine, dusty, sandy environment,” said one of the authors of the study, Elena Pettinelli, a physics and mathematics professor at Rome Tre University, Rome.
Yutu 2 is specifically exploring the Von Karman crater, a large hole that’s 180 kilometers wide and also the landing site of Chang’e 4. It’s part of an even larger, older crater spanning more than 1,770 kilometers.
“The subsurface at the Chang’e 4 landing site is very complex,” said Li Chunlai, a research professor and deputy director-general of National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Observations suggest that the subsurface material is totally different than the previous landing site of Chang’e 3, she said.
Radar waves revealed various layers beneath the moon’s surface: grainy material, boulders, and further layers of fine and coarse particles. This information is helping scientists to gain new understanding of the moon’s history and formation, as well as volcanic activity and lunar impacts.
Yutu 2 is the longest-working rover on the moon, but it won’t last forever. China plans to launch the Chang’e 5 probe later this year, Xinhua News Agency reported. The spacecraft is expected to bring pieces of the moon back to Earth for closer study.
32. What can we learn about the Chang’e 4 probe?
A. Its signals could reach 40 meters beneath the moon’s surface.
B. It explored areas as wide as 1,770 kilometers.
C. It is three times as large as the Chang’e 3 lunar probe.
D. It was the first to land on the moon’s near side.
33. What does the lunar soil’s top layer on the moon’s far side look like, according to the text?
A. It looks like a large hole.
B. It is about 6 millimeters thick.
C. It is covered by boulders and fine and coarse particles.
D. It goes farther down than expected.
34. What is the Chang’e 5 probe expected to do?
A. Explore the Von Karman crater. B. Replace Yutu 2 to explore the moon.
C. Identify the moon’s various layers. D. Bring lunar samples back to the Earth.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. A history of Chinese lunar missions.
B. A comparison of the Chang’e 3 and 4 probes.
C. A report on the Chang’e 4 probe’s findings.
D. How Yutu 2 explored beneath the moon’s surface.

You write a letter. You stick a stamp in the corner of the envelope and in a few days …
Look! 36
Stamps are very important but are often taken for granted. Oct 9 is World Post Day --a day to celebrate the great work of the worldwide postal service. 37
Stamps pay for a letter to get where it needs to be. 38 The first stamp ever made is called Penny Black today. It is a British stamp that was made in 1840 and pictured Queen Victoria.
39 Well, that kind of sticky back was not around when stamps were first invented. In the past, they had paste they could use sometimes. But they usually had to pin or sew stamps onto letters!
Before the internet, sending letters used to be the only way to communicate. Now, with email and social media, the number of people who send letters and use stamps has gone down. 40 There are stamp clubs and organizations to help collectors find stamps and meet other people. Interestingly enough, the internet may have reduced the need for stamps, but it is actually helping stamp collectors add to their collections.

A. Do you know how the back of a stamp is sticky?
B. It is also a great opportunity for us to remember how important stamps are.
C. Have you ever wondered who came up with the idea of using stamps?
D. The letter has traveled a long way and arrived at a friend’s doorstep.
E. Eventually, ordinary people wanted to send messages this way too.
F. But today stamp collecting is still one of the world’s most popular hobbies.
G. Before stamps, people didn’t pay for the letters they sent, but for the letters they received.

New tall buildings stand where many old houses lay, surrounded with green trees and colorful flowers. Besides, the polluted rivers are getting increasingly clear, to which all kinds of fishes return. The sky looks more pleasant with white and cleaner clouds. 
In a word, owing to the beneficial policy and measures taken by the government, we live a much better life now. Welcome to our village and experience yourself!
Looking forward to your visit.
Yours

M: Would you mind giving these books to Professor Hata for me? He lent them to me.
W: I'm afraid I wouldn’t be seeing him today, since classes have been cancelled due to the snowstorm.
(Text 2)
W: I really want to use my computer but there's something wrong with it. Can you see if you can figure out what's wrong?
M: I've just finished cleaning the windows so I'll have some tea and then take a look at it, OK?

M: Do you want to go to the Star Club with me tonight? I'm going with some of my friends from school.
W: Not really. They overcharge for drinks and foods. I'd rather go to a bar around here.
(Text 4)
W: Sir, can I come in now?
M: Sorry, lady. I'm afraid you'll have to wait half an hour.
Our business hours are from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.

M: Congratulations on your marriage! You're so beautiful today.
W: Thank you very much for coming.
M: Where are you going for your honeymoon?
W: We're going to Canada.

M: How's the new job, Alison?
W: Well, I'm terribly busy. Every day I meet many people. But I do lots of typing and filing, too.
M: Don't you like being a receptionist?
W: Oh, I enjoy meeting people, and I like answering the phone. But I hate typing, and I can't stand filing.
M: You can go to college, you know. Why don't you study for a year?
W: What do you mean?
M: I mean, you can do a course in business studies. After a year, you get a certificate. Then you can apply for lots of different jobs.
W: That's a good idea.

M: I wish there were laws to keep down noise.
W: What's the matter?
M: There's so much noise in my neighbourhood. At first, I didn't mind it, but now I find the noise is making me nearly deaf.
W: What kind of noise?
M: Oh, all sorts -- pop music all day long, the starting of car engines in the early morning, stuff like that.
W: You're suffering from noise pollution, Mike. Constant noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can prevent you from working well and can even damage your health.
M: Yes, that's true. I am not as efficient as I used to be. I really can't find a way to avoid all this noise.
W: Well, I'd suggest you move out of your neighbourhood.

W: What are you going to do for the project?
M: I don't know. I was hoping you could help me think of something.
W: Well, you're such a good artist. You could talk about watercolour while you're doing one in front of the class.
M: Maybe, but I'm still uncertain. What if I make a mistake in front of everyone?
W: Come on, you're really talented. You wouldn't have to do much preparation beforehand.
M: Er ...
W: Or, how about this? You could bring in a photo, a pencil drawing, and a watercolour of the same subject. Something simple so it wouldn't take so much time to do, like a flower. Then you could show the advantages and disadvantages of working with different materials.
M: I could do that ahead of time.
W: You could, but remember, it would take a lot more time.
M: Sure, thanks.

W: I think you made the right choice, coming to us. We have a wide selection of vehicles you can choose from.
M: I would like to rent a car with good air conditioning.
W: All our cars have air conditioning systems in them. Air conditioning and stereos are all standard with us.
M: Good. I am visiting my girlfriend. I want her to have a good time.
W: Oh, is that so? Well, then. Let me show you something she might like. It's on our back lot.
M: This is a Porsche!
W: Yes. Beautiful, isn't it?
M: But I probably can't afford it. It must be really expensive.
W: Well, sir. You said you were looking at cars at the rental agency at the airport. Now with them you'd spend your money and get nothing for it. But you could probably rent this Porsche from us, for the same price as one of their standard cars.
M: But how can you do that?
W: It's because our prices are so good. And this car has a lot of miles on it. But it's in nice shape, isn't it?
M: Yes, that's very satisfying. I'll rent it.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our school Natural History Day. Let me give you some information about today's activities. Remember, you need to attend one of these activities.
All right, your first choice is called "Dogs might fly", which will take place in Room 27. Professor Black will be having a lecture on animals and this will be followed by a group discussion where you'll get a chance to ask her questions and offer your own thoughts and opinions.
Well, we all know that animals communicate with each other, but what about flowers? Your second choice is a video show called "Flowers Talk". This considers the possibility that plants and flowers do actually communicate with each other. The video is introduced by Patrick Bell, who has just written a book on how plants get used to their natural environment. That will take place in the lecture room, no, sorry, correct that, here in the main hall. We've had to move it because the lecture room is being repaired.
The final choice is good for those of you who want to get a bit of fresh air. We've called it "A world in your garden". Anyway, for those of you interested in getting away from the classroom. Dr. Smith will be taking you on a nature walk through the local park, and will be telling you about some of the animals and plants that live and grow nearby. And it's a lovely day for a walk!
OK, let's start our wonderful day now.
