Born in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, to a Canadian missionary family in 1915, Crook came into the world.While Isabel Crook's parents were engaged in setting up schools and education institutions in Southwest China, Crook herself was more interested in anthropology (人类学) and the many ethnic minority peoples in China.She was very curious about what was going on around her.
At the age of 23, Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province.In 1947, Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China.In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from CPC leaders to teach at a newly built foreign affairs school.The school was the forerunner of today's Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), which has seen over 400 ambassadors (大使) and 1,000 counsellors (参赞) walk through its doors.As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations for foreign language education in China.
As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and David Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom.Michael Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their self esteem.For example, they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed corn bread.
According to the younger Crook, because of his parents' belief in communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as works once admired by Karl Marx.Understanding that the students would become diplomats representing the People's Republic of China, his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.
On 15 December 2018, Isabel got the award of “The Most Influential Foreigner throughout 40 Years of China's Development” from the Chinese government.On 17 September 2019, Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medals” by the Chinese government for her lifetime of devotion to China.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Isabel Crook为中国的外语教育做出了卓越贡献，并且被中国政府授予“中国发展40年来最具影响力外国人”的称号以及“友谊勋章”以表彰她对中国的贡献。

解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，由于Crook夫妇对共产主义的信仰，他们选择用政治文本作为教材，努力帮助学生们获得不同领域的知识，为他们将来作为外交官用英语与外国人交流做好准备，故选D项。

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers，” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A＋E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows.
Earlier this year the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook，” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China — some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs — and beating them hands down in design and sales，” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers，” she says.“China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China — its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国文化对世界时尚界的影响，中国的年轻设计师和模特在世界被认可，中国成了世界时尚的风向标。

30．What do the underlined words “taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean

A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子)as a snack so much.“I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds，” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware.I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year.Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door to door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking.Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast.I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It's not only in China.When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food.In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath.They think it's a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it's connected to their certain culture.I think it's a wonderful tradition.

What do you order when you go to a Chinese restaurant Do you start with an appetizer of fried dumplings and then move onto General Tso's chicken 36
Tofu is made from soybeans (黄豆)．There are different types of tofu, from soft creamy silken tofu to pressed extra firm tofu.The difference is the amount of water in them.The longer the tofu is pressed, the more water is squeezed out and the tofu becomes denser (更密实) and chewier.
37 In the letter to his friend John Bartram, Franklin cites (引用) a description of a type of Chinese cheese made from soybeans called “teu fu” by Fernandez Navarette who published accounts of his travels to China in the late 1600's.
However, there isn't much documentation of tofu production in the United States. 38
In 1917, as part of an effort to develop new sources of protein for American soldiers during World War Ⅰ， the United States Department of Agriculture sent Chinese born doctor Yamei Kin a dietitian well known for promoting tofu as an nutritious meat alternative, to China to study soybeans. 39
It wasn't until the 1970's that tofu started to become better known, during a wave of interest in vegetarianism (素食主义), natural food, and less wasteful food sources. 40 And the restaurant chain Chipotle successfully added tofu to its menu a few years ago.
A．Americans are not big consumers of tofu.
B．Let's take a look at tofu and its history in the United States.
C．Or do you start with deep fried tofu and then choose Ma Po tofu instead
D．Today, you can buy different types of tofu in many American supermarkets.
E．Despite the government's efforts, interest among the American public never picked up.
F．One of the earliest references to tofu by an American is in a letter by Benjamin Franklin.
G．It is likely that by the early 1900's, cities with large Asian populations had small tofu shops.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的传统食物豆腐及其在美国的发展。
36．选C 根据空前一句Do you start with an appetizer of fried dumplings and then move onto General Tso's chicken？和下一段第一句Tofu is made from soybeans (黄豆)．可知，C项(还是先吃炸豆腐，然后继续吃麻婆豆腐？)符合文意。
37．选F 根据空后In the letter to his friend John Bartram和Franklin可知，F项(美国人最早提到豆腐的是本杰明·富兰克林的一封信)符合文意，F项中a letter by Benjamin Franklin为复现词。
38．选G 根据本空前后的时间in the late 1600's, In 1917, It wasn't until the 1970's可知，本文按时间顺序介绍了豆腐在美国的发展史，故G项(可能到20世纪初期，拥有大量亚洲人口的城市才开始有小型豆腐店)符合文意。
39．选E 根据空前In 1917, the United States Department of Agriculture sent Chinese born doctor Yamei Kin, a dietitian well known for promoting tofu as an nutritious meat alternative, to China to study soybeans 和空后It wasn't until the 1970's that tofu started to become better known可知，E项(尽管政府努力提升美国民众对豆腐的兴趣，但收效甚微)符合文意。
40．选D 结合本空前面提到的时间和内容以及本空后面的And the restaurant chain Chipotle successfully added tofu to its menu a few years ago.可知，D项(如今，你在许多美国的超市都能买到不同的豆腐)符合文意。

I'm not sure when I started to love qipao.I just remember that when I saw Zhao Wei and other stars 56 (wear) qipaos in the TV series Romance in the Rain, I 57 (impress)．Although Chinese women are fond of wearing qipaos for special events, for example, red ones for weddings, I wear them more 58 (frequent), not only for parties but also sometimes even in the office.
I've collected some qipaos, 59 (buy) at a store in one of Beijing's historical neighborhoods.A Chinese friend of mine recently gave me one of her old qipaos, which almost reaches my ankles.The qipao fits well at the shoulders, 60 it was simply too tight at the waist.
Many foreigners' 61 (body) differ from those of the Chinese, which makes 62 hard for some foreigners to take off qipaos.Because I am not too short, and pretty thin, I can often buy ready made qipaos in China.
In my native United States, non Asians 63 (be) sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos because of 64 (culture) differences, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen 65 an attitude of appreciation for Chinese culture.

第二节(满分25 分)
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。
When a tornado hit a small town nearby, many families were left homeless.Afterward, all the local newspapers carried stories of the families who suffered the hardest to appeal to people's attention and assistance.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of a mobile home, a depressed expression on her face.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast.Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear.The article below gave clothing sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my seven year old twins, Brad and Brett, and three year old Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.
“We have so much.And these poor people now have nothing，” I said.“We'll share what we have with them.” I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and
placed them in the living room.Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.The boys were pleased to join.Bred rose and went to his room fast.He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently.Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.
The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, best loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.“I'll help you find something for the little girl, too.” I said to the little Meghan.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，” Meghan turned to me.
Recognizing what little Meghan's gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.
参考范文：
“Mommy, I will give Lucy to them，” Meghan turned to me.“Oh, honey，” I said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.” Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with tears.“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.Maybe she'll make that little girl happy, too.” She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat face, gave her a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.The boys watched, open mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.
Recognizing what little Meghan's gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had bought on sale last week.I believed the young woman in the picture would like it and fit it as much as I did.The boys had also been inspired by our behavior and carried their beloved things.We all wished the family could pass the difficult period as soon as possible and that they would love the things we gave them with all our heart.
