Children aged4-14 years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours.There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus,cash prizes for the winning schools too.Stamp DesigningThe stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature(微型的）design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3. 7cm wide x 3. 5cm high.Things to consider·Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form which your teacher will give you.·Your design must be your own original work.·Drawings must be flat, so please don't stick any materials or textures(纹理）to your design.·Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.·Please avoid using highlighter pens(荧光笔）。Good LuckThe closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You' re then ready to start designing! We can't wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.Good Luck!21. Who would probably take part in the competition?A. Students.    B. Doctors.    C.

Passed down between generations of royals(皇室成员）and upper-class families, the finished works were thought to resemble(与······类似）dragons, each page appearing like a＂scale".With few of the books surviving to the present day, the bookbinding technique was at risk of becoming lost before Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaodong decided to research and revive(复兴) it. Using the Palace Museum's only existing dragon scale book for reference, he spent four years printing and binding to perfect his art.One of Zhang's works is a dragon scale bookbinding version of the classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. The 120-chapter book comes with recreations of 230 images by Qing Dynasty artist Sun Wen. Combining ancient folding and cutting techniques with modern technology, Zhang printed pictures and text onto paper at a factory before cutting them to recreate Sun's paintings.As part of Zhang's“scientific approach", he visited old towns and heritage sites to source materials traditionally used in bookbinding, such as ricepaper, bamboo, silk and wood. Then came the most important and difficult part of the binding process: controlling the placement of each page. In order to create a complete picture, each sheet of paper needs to be placed in exactly the right place. Zhang said that a mistake of just a hundredth of a centimeter can produce a huge, visible error when a book's hundreds of pages are displayed together.Despite Zhang’s efforts, dragon scale bookbinding remains an endangered art. But Ying Kwok, founder of the Art Appraisal Club, is encouraged by growing efforts in China to preserve the country's cultural heritage.“There has always been an interest in traditional Chinese art but now there are more young people interested in experimental and modern takes on traditional techniques, "she said. “It shows how a younger generation of artists can actually use traditional formats to respond to their surroundings. ”24. What can we learn about dragon scale bookbinding in paragraph 1?A. It used to be ignored by upper-class families.B. It began to disappear during the Tang Dynasty.C. It was created because of royals' love for dragons.D. It was named according to the look of the finished works.25. What did Zhang Xiaodong do to revive dragon scale bookbinding?A. He took up painting after seeing Sun Wen' s paintings.B. He combined modern technology with ancient traditions.C. He spent four years reading Dream of the Red Chamber.D. He applied for permission to work in the Palace Museum.26. What is the most difficult part of dragon scale bookbinding?A. Finding the right materials.          B. Placing each page accurately.C. Correcting the book' s mistakes.      D. Sticking hundreds of pages together.27. What is Ying Kwok's attitude to young people' s practices?A. Confused.      B.Worried.       C. Approving.       D. Forgiving. CA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”28. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly? A. They did not have sufficient fund. B. No ready-made components were available. C. There was no model in their mind. D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.29. What do we know about the robotic fly? A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application. B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system. C. The robotic fly can collect information from many sources. D. The robotic fly can fly well with the cooperation of individual components.30. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A. The robotic fly can replace animals in some experiments. B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C. The robotic fly is designed to learn about insects. D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of robotic fly B. Robotic fly promotes engineering science C. Harvard’s efforts in making robotic fly D. Robotic fly imitates real life insect  DToday, people cooperate(合作)closely with those from different countries and cultures. Cultural diversity in a company can bring individual and organizational benefits, open people's minds to new approaches,and help them be more creative; on the other hand, it also presents challenges that come from using a foreign language. No matter how well we understand and speak a foreign language, it's really hard for us to reach the level that we have in our mother tongue(母语）.When people who have different mother tongues use a language that they do not feel as competent in as their own, language becomes a barrier that prevents effective communication. Meanwhile, difficulty in speaking or poor language knowledge is often considered to be a lack of competence and professionalism, which is not true. On a broader and more emotional level, all this causes greater difficulty in establishing relationships of mutual(互相的）trust, making cooperation between the groups more difficult and success less likely.Behind every language, there is a system of different values and beliefs.These make up the culture of each language. For international teams, it is necessary to have a broader attitude and be able to accept and understand different cultures. Improving intercultural communication skills means building and training awareness of oneself and others. This is done by reflecting on differences actively and learning about individuals who speak a different language and have different values and habits.It' s impossible to completely eliminate the language barrier when people use a foreign language. Linguistic(语言的）and cultural differences will always exist. To better deal with a multicultural working team, it is essential to acquire and maintain awareness of the limits and strengths of the language. We need to pay attention to the cultural diversity present in the team and to the misunderstandings that could arise, making efforts to use communication strategies that are as inclusive and comprehensive as possible.32. What is the author' s purpose in writing paragraph 1?A. To prove multicultural cooperation is effective.B. To introduce the challenge of linguistic diversity in a company.C. To explain the reasons for learning a foreign language.D. To show it is hard to balance individual and organizational benefits.33. What is a misunderstanding according to paragraph 2?A. People's mother tongues are easier to learn than a foreign language.B. People who cannot speak a foreign language are less likely to succeed.C. People's professional abilities are closely related to their linguistic ability.D. People who have different mother tongues always lack trust in each other.34. What does the author advise international teams to do?A. Offer different language courses.   B. Change the culture in their teams.C. Be open-minded about cultural diversity.D. Promote individuals speaking different languages.35. What does the underlined word“eliminate" in the last paragraph mean?A. Share.        B. Remove.       C. Respect.          D. Spot.第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Why learn English through the news?Learning English through the news is a great way to improve your vocabulary, listening and discussion skills.

I re-read the message from my friend, Jane. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news: she had been refused by her dream school. Jane had shared the sad news with only a few people. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was really hurt and disappointed.I felt so bad. I knew how the news had gotten out because I had been the one to tell someone beyond her closest friends. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to only a few in the first place, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to admit what I had done and apologize if her message put the blame, specifically, on me. But it read as though it had been copied and sent to several people. Once again ignoring the right choice, I chose the coward’s (懦夫) way out instead.“I’m so sorry for what happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken!”I hoped that would work. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”“It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (匿名), wouldn’t it?” I thought to myself.But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but also because I’d taken a further step in the wrong direction by covering it up.I felt painful at church on Sunday, sitting in silence all the time. Later, the speaker asked us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way of holding on to our faith, and if so, not to let anything stop us until we cleared it away. Chancing it all — whatever we feared, whatever held us back — would be worth it to make it right.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1I knew what stood between me and the right thing: my image._______________                                                                                                         Paragraph 2The next day, I went straight to Jane.                                             参考答案第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）21~23 ACD  24~27 DBBC  28~31 BDAD32~35 ACCB第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12.5分）36~40 BECGA第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）41~45 DACDA  46~50 DBCAD  51~55 BADBC第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）56. totally; 57. ranking; 58. has achieved; 59.

Nowadays more and more enthusiastic sports lovers are coming to China to take part in marathons. I know that you are crazy about long-distance running, therefore I am writing to invite you to come and compete.As far as I am concerned, your endurance is beyond compare, so the marathon is suitable for you. And your motherland enjoys an excellent reputation of long-distance running, which gives you an advantage. What’s more, I can be your local guide and accompany you to the route for preparations.Hope you can take my invitation into consideration. Looking forward to your coming.Yours,Li Hua第二节 读后续写（满分25分）I knew what stood between me and the right thing: my image. That was exactly what I feared if I told Jane the truth. I could picture the disappointed look on her face, but what I feared more was the possibility that she would tell others I was that gossiper（搬弄是非者）. Holding the phone in sweating hands, I kept tossing and turning（翻来覆去）in bed, at a loss about which on earth matters more: preserving my image or telling the truth? After a sleepless night, I pulled up my courage to speak out the truth, since my so-called image would be just a lie if I remained silent.The next day, I went straight to Jane. I first admitted that I had been the one to break faith and hurt her, and then how I had chosen not to come forward when I had the chance. Feeling ashamed and regretful, I said sorry and didn’t dare to look Jane into the eye, ready for any harsh works from her, which I totally deserved. To my great surprise, she gave me a hug as a token of forgiveness, saying my confession（坦白）meant a lot to her. What a relief it was to clear the shame and restore the faith. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. Never before in my life had I so firmly believed honesty is the best policy.
