It turned out that I had a brain injury. After a full check, the doctor told me I would survive, but I might not talk or walk properly again. It was so bad for me. Without the ability to speak, how could I say Hamlet’s long lines How could I continue my acting on the stage It was also bad for my parents. I was still very young, but suddenly they had to look after their son who had lost control of his body.
But my parents encouraged me to fight like Hamlet. Their love and support gave me confidence and strength. I knew I couldn't let them down- I knew the accident hurt my brain, but I wouldn’t allow it to destroy my life- In the following months, I learnt to talk and walk again. It took strong determination and hard work to recover. Guess what After one year of the accident, I returned to the stage and have played Hamlet many times since — of course, with prop swords.
Listening script
Text 1
M: Excuse me. I noticed four empty seats beside you. Are any of them taken
W: These two are for my friends, but I’m not sure about the other two. No one has taken the three in the last row, though.
Text 2
W: I just got in trouble from the manager because I was wearing a jacket over my uniform.
M: I wear my warm clothes under my uniform. They just want customers to be able to see the uniform. That’s all.
Text 3
W: Those chicken wings weren’t bad at all. Do you think we should get another small dish to share Let’s skip the French fries, though. We didn’t like them last time.
M: The baked potato skins look amazing. I have tried them before at other restaurants, and they never disappoint.
Text 4
W: It’s been a while since we had a chance to hang out together. We run into each other at the office every day, but we never get the chance to really talk anymore.
M: I know! I think the last time I really hung out with you was at that New Year party.
Text 5
W: Let’s hurry up. We don’t want to miss the game. It will also take us a while to find parking.
M: Yeah, this is the big game between our school and the best team in the state. Let me just get my keys from my bedroom.
Text 6
W: What do you think of Prof. Hilbert’s class
M: I think Prof. Hilbert is very smart, but sometimes I feel a little lost in his class.
W: What do you mean
M: Well, he goes pretty fast, and he doesn’t stop to ask questions very often.
W: I agree with you. I always have to raise my hand and make sure he sees me so I can ask questions.
M: Also, there are times when he speaks so softly that I can’t hear him. I could move a little closer, I suppose. I’m worried that it would be rude to ask him to speak louder.
W: Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem at all. You should have a word with him after class today.
Text 7
W: I’ve noticed you do the same thing every day you come to the gym. You have a very strict routine, don’t you
M: Yeah. It helps keep me focused.
W: When I was a swimmer, I used to shake my head, arms, hands, legs and feet ten times before a race.
M: I run marathons, so I have a lot of exercises I do before I start running. But that’s not the only thing I do. On the way to the gym, I listen to the same music, in the same order.
W: My brother did something similar to that when he was on the soccer team. He said it helped him find his timing when he was running around the field.
M: Timing is very important. The best athletes should operate as beautifully as an instrument.
W: And as reliable as a clock.
Text 8
M: I’m terrible at finding flights and making hotel reservations. Is there a quick and easy way to do it
W: Try . I used it when I went to Paris last year. You can do everything from there. The customer reviews can be quite helpful, too.
M: Really Can you walk me through it
W: Sure. For a flight, just type in the airports you’ll be using and the length of your stay.
M: OK, so I’m leaving from Heathrow, in London, and I’m going to Thailand. What’s the capital airport again
W: The main one is in Bangkok, although it will give you a list of all airports for your convenience.
M: Oh, I see all the options here. That’s pretty easy. What about hotels
W: Click on “accommodation”. Now fill in the obvious areas. You also have to select the rooms where adults and children will be staying. You’re a family of three or four
M: Four, but the kids will be staying with my mother. They’re too young to fly.
W: There you go. Easy, right Now, you call them to confirm, and ask any questions you might have.
M: Thanks.
Text 9
W: Thanks for coming, Jeff. I’m sorry to bother you, but my father is at work. I seem to be having some problems with my Internet connection.
M: Well, I’m not an Internet expert, but I’ll try. Did you turn the connection off and on
W: I tried that already. What’s next
M: Okay, we should check that your connection equipment is working properly and all the wires are in the right place. Looks like they are. This version is not that old…
W: Do you think I should buy a new one
M: I don’t think that’s what’s causing the problem. When was the last time you paid your bill
W: I don’t know, last year I think… Oh! That’s right. Silly me.
M: All right, I have to go…
W: Wait, I have another favor to ask you. I needed to change the light bulb in the living room, but I couldn’t pull the cover off.
M: Look, all you need to do is take off the old one. Then the light bulb goes on like this.
W: Thank you so much. You are a lifesaver.
M: No problem. These things aren’t as hard as they seem. You just need to use your head.

With more than 46,000 of them in the UK, convenience stores used to be a feature on almost
every residential corner—but the number of corner shop is in decline. The growth of the corner
shop was prevented by the cruel march of the Big Four supermarkets' formats when Tesco bought
the T&S group of convenience stores. Even more significantly, corner shops are starting to change
hands as their original owners retire- So can the tradition be saved
Sure, there's always a way out. Far from a struggling corner shop, Wigston Fields News &
Deli is becoming a lighthouse for food lovers across the region. Pratik was named Local Food Hero
by the regional Great Taste Club in their annual awards in 2019 and his customers value what News
& Deli offers.
"I feel proud to continue my parents' legacy," says Pratik. "I barely set foot in the shop until
my mother passed away in 2012, but then it became important for me to continue the work she
loved. I am proud to take the flag from her and continue to serve my community. "
At present, he is well on his way to achieving a commercial as well as community success. On
the shop's popular Facebook page customers share orders for special menus of locally produced
food and enjoy the wonder about Pratik's samosa (萨莫萨三角饺) consumption. These samosas are
held to be the best in the city, so the tiny shop sells nearly 900 samosas a week, up from just 50 a
week 3 years ago.
"I hope our success will inspire others and show that shop-keeping is a rewarding choice, not
a dead-end job,” Pratik says. "We work hard, and our customers have become like family to us, so
I can't imagine enjoying any other job quite as much."
This is one of independent corner shops whose fortunes are on the rise. Surely, we'll see more
in the future.
24. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about corner shops
A. Their major formats.
B. Challenges they face.
D. Competitors they meet.
C. Their complex features.
25.What made Pratik begin to follow in his mother's footsteps
A. His mother's death.
B. His parents' retirement.
C. His desire to serve the community.
D. His intention to continue family legacy.
26. Why was Pratik's samosa consumption mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.To show the consumers' support.
B.To prove Pratik's commercial success.
C.To promote Pratik's successful pattern.
D. To introduce special dishes in the shop.
27. What is the author's attitude towards the corner shops
A. Skeptical.
B. Concerned.
C. Conservative.
D. Optimistic.

During a waste collection session in May at the base of Mount Qomolangma, in the Tibet
Autonomous Region, participants put garbage (mostly plastics) into bags and prepared to transport
them downhill.
Dressed in camouflage and a blue vest, Samdrub dragged a sack to a blue truck parked a few
hundred meters away. Scores of similar sacks were piled up along the roadside, waiting to be
loaded onto the vehicle. Not far away, a couple of sheep roamed the deserted land looking for grass.
"Loads of it here. Loads of it. This is the fifth consecutive time we have come here and we still
haven't finished the clean-up," said Samdrub, 64, who, like many Tibetans only uses one name.
Samdrub and her companions are members of a regular clean-up campaign organized by the Lhasa
Ban-White Association, an environmental advocacy group that taps the volunteer spirit to control
abandoned plastic trash, also known as "white pollution". The volunteers are of all ages and come
from different walks of life. Now retired and with time to kill, Samdrub and her friends have taken
to the city's ravines and riverbanks to battle the pollution." In recent years, I've read reports that
livestock choked and died after eating plastic. I was born and raised in rural Shigatse, and I know
how big a financial loss that is for herders." Samdrub said.
Tersing Dorji, 62, a member of the Lhasa Ban-White Association, said the worst pollution
results from rural farmers' markets and the common use of plastic bags, which are super-thin and
relatively expensive to recycle. "They are of various colors and very light, and when the wind
blows they fly everywhere." she said.
A rule was then implemented by authorities in Lhasa that banned the production of super-thin
plastics and ordered retailers to charge customers a fee if they wanted a regular plastic bag. The ban
was later extended to the entire region. It has worked well generally, especially in supermarkets and
other large operations, where additional charges for plastic bags have prompted many shoppers to
opt for reusable items, such as cloth bags.
28. Why do the local volunteers like Samdrub participate in waste collection
A. They are retired and have little time left.
B. They can make money by collecting waste.
C. They are encouraged by an environmental group.
D. They fight against pollution to help the Tibetans.
29. What do we know about white pollution from Paragraph 2
A. It will soon finish with people’s efforts.
B. People put it into sacks and dragged them downhill.
C. Clean-up campaigns are regularly organized to battle it.
D. It has been the main cause that leads to the death of livestock.
30. What does the underlined word "prompted" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Caused.
B. Advised.
C. Promised.
D. Supported.

Art museums are filled with centuries-old paintings with details of plants that today give us
clues about evolution and breeding practices.
Exhibited at an art museum in New York City, The Harvesters created by Pieter Bruegel in
1565 shows farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are. "Nowadays, if you walk through a
wheat field, you basically see that wheat is about knee-height. The short wheat is essentially a
consequence of breeding from the second half of the 20th century. " said biologist Ive De Smet.
According to De Smet, wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to
track the transformation of food crops over time. He teamed up with art historian David Vergauwen
to seek similar kinds of artwork around the world.
Friends since childhood, their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to a museum in
Russia, where they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting. A
watermelon usually is believed to be dark red on the inside. But that one appeared to be pale and
white. De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen had a different idea. He
says, "This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So, if he painted it like that, that’s the way
it must have looked like."
Other paintings revealed that there were both red and white watermelons grown during the
17th century. The color is determined by a gene that controls the lycopene (番茄红素). "There must
have been some sort of genetic change preventing the accumulation of that color. Now, with all the
genetic knowledge that we have from various plant species, we can look in more details how
something comes about."
The team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artwork. They call for
contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via the social media. But they caution, the source
paintings need to be realistic. "If you're going to use, for example, Picasso’s paintings to try and
understand how a pear looked like in the early 20th century, you might be misled." Indeed, such an
attempt could be fruitless.
32. What can we learn about wheat from Paragraph 2
A. It had no short variety before the 1950s.
B. It became shorter and shorter as it evolved.
C. It grew shorter as farmers’ heights changed.
D. It was about knee-height in the 17th century.

33. What inspired the team’s interest in historical plant artwork
A. Their life-long friendship.
B. A white watermelon painting.
D. An argument over the best painters.
C. Their professional background.
34. Why is Picasso mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show the contributions of art enthusiasts.
B. To give an example of historical plant artwork.
C. To tell how a pear looked in the early 20th century.
D. To stress the importance of having realistic source painting.
35. What is mainly talked about in the text
A. Centuries-old paintings of plants.
C. The values of different works of art.
B. Plants information revealed in old art.
D. Popular objects in historic artworks.

Think of any objects in your house, meals you eat, or gestures you use, and you'll find
evidence of culture. Culture has shaped who you are.
36
Here’re some tips.
Share your culture's art and techniques. Each culture has its own clothing, music, visual arts,
and many more distinguishing characteristics. Other members of your culture will be overjoyed to
share or talk about their interests, what they do for fun, and fine works of art they appreciate. This
may include traditional artifacts (手工艺品）you can find in a museum, but material culture goes
far beyond that.
Cook family recipes. It's never too late to learn some recipes from your grandmother's
During the process, you might remember meals from your childhood or festivals.
Just reading a recipe can teach you how much ingredients and kitchen tools have changed.
Your city or village may have some cultural events, which you should actively
37
cookbook.
38
39
participate in. If you don't know of any in your area, some tribes or ethnic groups in your country
almost certainly celebrate major cultural festivals. Travel to these places to get a broader
perspective on your culture.
Speak your local dialect. If you know someone who shares your culture but speaks a native
tongue better than you, or in other words, in a more authentic way, ask him or her to teach you.
Language is an important part of a culture.
40
Plus, if the language is rare in your area,
nobody will be able to catch on to what you’re talking about.
A. Attend major events and festivals.
B. Travel abroad to celebrate cultural festivals.
C. Smell and taste have a powerful connection to memory.
D. Even a kitchen spoon or a public building is cultural artwork.
E. You should learn more about it and know how you can keep it strong.
F. Many experts argue that language shapes our whole view about the world.
G. They will disappear with time if you do not make efforts to preserve them.

We performed the show for six weeks in a Dublin theatre. Then we moved to Cork, the second
largest city in Ireland. Time was tight, and that meant we didn't get to finish our rehearsal (排练)
before the opening night. It was going to be a full house: about 750 people.
The show went smoothly until the fifth act, when it was time to perform the swordfight
between Laertes and Hamlet. We weren't using prop swords (道具剑). Instead, they were solid steel.
The stage in Cork was smaller than we were used to, and the actor playing Laertes and I got too
close. We were exhausted—we had been talking nonstop for two and a half hours on the stage.
In the fight, Laertes is carrying a poison-tipped sword designed to kill Hamlet. But as the actor
playing Laertes made the gesture, his sword stabbed (刺伤) my face. I felt a pain in my brain and
fell to the floor. All the actors rushed on the stage. The audience thought it was part of the play, and
as the curtains went down, they gave us a round of applause.
I was taken to hospital in an ambulance. I couldn't speak clearly and had no balance, but the
doctors said, “You seem fine. You’re probably in shock." I went home and was sick all night. My
parents took me back to hospital the next day, as my speech and balance were still not right.
