China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar(阴历). It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day falls on March 14.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

A. Chinese people consider themselves the descendants of the dragon.

C. Chinese people think the dragon stands for the start of spring and farming..

You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September, the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. '' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. ''
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A ''bias'' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.
8. What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su
A. They were excited. B. They were amazed.
C. They were worried. D. They were interested.
9. Why is Miss Su considered to be ''pretty extraordinary''
A. She is an excellent P. E. teacher.
B. She was finally removed.
C. She really cared about her students.
D. The headmaster was proved to be wrong.
10. The examples are given in the last paragraph to show .
A. tall men are usually excellent B. people are often judged with bias
C. opinions should be based on facts D. women lack leadership skills
11. What's the author's attitude towards the bias
A. Disagreeable. B. Acceptable.
C. Careless. D. Curious.
D
Facial recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask.
Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology ( E&T ) reported. What’s the secret It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight. Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Another Japan based NEC Corp claims an surprising 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus aren’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects (嫌疑犯) or terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T.
12. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. A habit. B. A mistake.
C. A rule. D. A trouble.
13. The facial recognition software mainly depends on ________ to identify people with masks.
A. The forehead. B. The shape of faces.
C. The eye region. D. The facial expressions.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The future of facial recognition technology.
B. The advantages of facial recognition technology.
C. Different types of facial recognition software.
D. The problems with current facial recognition technology.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
B. It is necessary to make improvements in the new technology.
C. Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
D. The new technology doesn’t work when people wear sunglasses.

You cannot judge a book by looking at its cover! That's what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this term.
When they came to school in September, the students were shocked to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could someone who teaches table tennis and basketball know anything about academics Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. '' However, the principal(校长) did not give in to the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.
After three months, the P.E. teacher, whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students active in their studies and participate in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. ''
The early negative reaction against Miss Su is an example of bias(偏见). A ''bias'' is wrong in thinking that has an influence on a person's opinions and decisions. For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias.
8. What seemed to be the parents' early reaction to Miss Su
A. They were excited. B. They were amazed.
C. They were worried. D. They were interested.
9. Why is Miss Su considered to be ''pretty extraordinary''
A. She is an excellent P. E. teacher.
B. She was finally removed.
C. She really cared about her students.
D. The headmaster was proved to be wrong.
10. The examples are given in the last paragraph to show .
A. tall men are usually excellent B. people are often judged with bias
C. opinions should be based on facts D. women lack leadership skills
11. What's the author's attitude towards the bias
A. Disagreeable. B. Acceptable.
C. Careless. D. Curious.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过讲述杭州某中学的家长对体育老师当班主任态度的转变,提出了我们不能“以貌取人”,即不能带着偏见来判断一个人
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Their parents were equally worried and pressured the school to replace ''Miss Muscle'' with a ''Miss Brain. ''可知孩子的父母很担心,并给学校施压,希望用教文化科目的老师代替教体育的老师。C. They were worried. (他们很担心)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的And she has won the parents over with her real caring for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P. E. teacher, is ''pretty extraordinary. '' (她用对孩子们的关爱赢得了家长的信任,换句话说,体育老师Miss Su是一个卓越的老师)可知因为苏老师对孩子的关爱,家长们认为她是一个卓越的老师。C. She really cared about her students. (她很关爱她的学生)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的For example, in business, tall men are more likely to be bosses. In the United States, anyone who is above 190 centimeters tall can expect to have a higher salary and to get more promotions than his shorter co-workers. Similarly, women have a difficult time climbing the career ladder because their bosses(mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. (例如,在商业中,高个子的男性更有可能成为老板。在美国,任何一个超过190厘米的人,比起那些比他矮的同事都可以期待更高的工资和更高的升职。同样的,女性升职很难,因为老板认为她们缺乏领导力,也没有做出困难决定的韧性)可推测这些例子主要是为了说明人们常常被带着偏见来判断。B. people are often judged with bias (人们常常被带着偏见来判断)符合以上说法,故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Neither of these opinions is based on facts or the talents of the individual. They're just bias. (这些观点都不是基于事实或个人的天赋,他们只是偏见)可推测作者不赞成带着偏见判断一个人。A. Disagreeable.(不同意)符合以上说法,故选A项。

Facial recognition (面部识别) cameras are everywhere, including in your smartphone. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask.
Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology ( E&T ) reported. What’s the secret It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same — even if we put on weight. Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. Another Japan based NEC Corp claims an surprising 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus aren’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless verification (验证) has become extremely important due to the coronavirus,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can detect crime suspects (嫌疑犯) or terrorists,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T.
12. What does the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. A habit. B. A mistake.
C. A rule. D. A trouble.
13. The facial recognition software mainly depends on ________ to identify people with masks.
A. The forehead. B. The shape of faces.
C. The eye region. D. The facial expressions.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The future of facial recognition technology.
B. The advantages of facial recognition technology.
C. Different types of facial recognition software.
D. The problems with current facial recognition technology.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
B. It is necessary to make improvements in the new technology.
C. Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
D. The new technology doesn’t work when people wear sunglasses.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了面部识别技术的发展和潜存的问题。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前文“Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem: Everyone is wearing masks.(许多人依靠这项技术解锁手机、开门或快速支付,但有一个问题:每个人都戴着口罩。)”可知,面部识别技术对于现在大家都戴着口罩是非常麻烦的,所以hassle是“麻烦”的意思。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What’s the secret It’s all about your eyes.(有什么秘密吗 这都是关于你的眼睛。)”可知,面部识别软件主要依靠眼睛区域来识别戴口罩的人。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone.(面部识别软件不仅仅是解锁你的手机。这事关公共安全。)”以及下文“More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime.(不仅如此,面部识别还可以用于打击犯罪。)”可知,第四段主要讲了面部识别技术的优势。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Huang admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses.(黄承认这项技术的一大弱点:当人们同时戴口罩和太阳镜时,它就会失效。)”可推断,改进这项新技术是必要的。故选B。

He is one of the greatest scientist in China. Unluckily, he passed away at the age of 91, in May 22, 2021. However, his dream that he could enjoy the shade under the hybrid rice always inspire many people. It is no doubt that dreams are very much important. As for myself, I would like to become a useful person like Yuan Longping which made valuable contributions. What I can do is that I will study hard and learn more knowledge. I hope I can achieve my dream one day but I will never give up my dream no matter how difficult it is.
【答案】1. develop→developing
2. world前加the
3. scientist→scientists
4. in→on
5. inspire→inspires
6. It→There
7. 去掉much
8. myself→me
9. which→who/that
10. but→and
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了袁隆平的成就和对作者的影响。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意:他一生致力于培育杂交水稻,被誉为“杂交水稻之父”。devote...to...为固定搭配,意为“致力于……”,其中to是介词,跟动名词作宾语。故将develop改为developing。
2. 考查冠词。句意:他的杂交水稻养活了全世界数百万人。all over the world为固定短语,意为“全世界”,且world是世界上独一无二的名词,前面需定冠词the修饰 。故在world前加the。
3. 考查名词的数。句意:他是中国最伟大的科学家之一。“one of + 复数名词”为固定搭配,意为“……之一”,用名词scientist的数复数形式。故将scientist改为scientists。
4. 考查介词。句意:不幸的是,他于2021年5月22日去世,享年91岁。表示在具体的某一天时,搭配介词on。故将in改为on。
5. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,他在杂交水稻下乘凉的梦想一直激励着许多人。分析句子可知,inspire是主句谓语动词,讲述现在的情况,用一般现在时,主语his dream是单数名词,谓语动词也应使用单数形式。故将inspire改为inspires。
6. 考查固定句型。句意:毫无疑问,梦想是非常重要的。There is no doubt that...为固定句型,意为“毫无疑问……”。故将It改为There。
7. 考查副词。句意:毫无疑问,梦想是非常重要的。副词much表示“非常”,常用于修饰形容词比较级、由过去分词转化来的形容词原级等,句中修饰important,不能用much。故去掉much。
8. 考查代词。句意:至于我,我想成为一个像袁隆平一样作出宝贵贡献的有用的人。只有在施动者的动作作用于自己身上时,才会使用反身代词,句中不满足使用反身代词的条件;介词for为跟宾格代词作宾语。故将myself改为me。
9. 考查定语从句。句意:至于我,我想成为一个像袁隆平一样作出宝贵贡献的有用的人。分析句子可知,空格处为限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a useful person,指人,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或者that引导该定语从句。故将which改为who/that。
10. 考查连词。句意:我希望有一天我能实现我的梦想,我永远不会放弃我的梦想,无论多么困难。根据句意可知,“I hope I can achieve my dream one day”与“I will never give up my dream”之间不是转折关系,是并列关系。故将but改为and。

Dear Chris,

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Chris,
I am delighted to hear from you. Knowing that you are interested in the P.E.class in our school, I’m writing to share some information with you.
To start with, our school is well equipped for sports. A big stadium was built up several years ago, where students can play football and run on a 400-meter track. Next to it is an open-air basketball court, to the south of which there are some fitness facilities. Besides, in the southeast of the school lies an excellent gymnasium, in which a wide range of sports events are held.
To arouse students’ interest, a variety of sports are available, of which table tennis, football, badminton, basketball, martial arts, gymnastics as well as aerobics enjoy popularity. As for me, I choose gymnastics since it helps me to lose weight as well as keep healthy.
By taking the interest-based PE classes, we students not only have a passion for sports, but also keep fit and live an active lifestyle.
I sincerely invite you to come to our school and see for yourself.
Yours,
Li Hua
