Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb!” wrote a blogger at Volleywood, a US-based volleyball website. The word combines “Zhu” and “superb” to describe the 24-year-old player’s leadership skills.
Zhu’s prolific (多产的) scoring performances put her among the Top 10 Global Outstanding Athletes for 2019 Heracles Prize of the Big Ben Award. As captain of the Chinese women’s national volleyball team, Zhu has “created the new golden age of women’s volleyball in China,” the award said.
Although she’s a superstar now, it hasn’t been easy for Zhu to get to where she is. Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu earned a chance to attend a local sports school at age 13. With her father’s encouragement, she made steady progress and quickly moved up, from the provincial youth team to the national youth team.
She rose to fame by helping China’s U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Shortly after, Zhu joined the national team and began playing under legendary coach Lang Ping. At first, the 1.98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But Lang took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and smash balls. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding spiker (主攻手).
Today, Zhu treats her height as an aspect of her physical strength. And she still works up a sweat during training. “Hard work and talent are equally important. I’ll move forward step by step,” she told People’s Daily.
4. Zhu is referred to as “ZHUperb” because she is ________.

C. an outstanding spiker D. a powerful leader
5. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Zhu learned a lot from Lang Ping.
B. Zhu became a spiker by accident.
C. Zhu attained the fame in national team.
D. Zhu made efforts to move flexibly.
6. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To inspire us to play volleyball. B. To explain Zhu’s nickname.
C. To introduce a sports superstar. D. To encourage us to work hard.
7. Which word can describe Zhu’s character best

When The Alchemist was first published twenty-five years ago in my native Brazil, no one noticed. A bookseller in the northeast corner of the country told me that only one person purchased a copy the first week of its publication. It took another six months for the bookseller to unload a second copy. And who knows how long it took to sell the third. At the end of the year, my original publisher decided to cancel our contract. I was forty-one and upset.
But I never lost faith in the book. Why Because it was me in there, all of me, heart and soul. I was living my own fantasy. A man sets out on a journey, dreaming of a beautiful or magical place, in search of some unknown treasure. At the end of his journey, the man realizes the treasure was with him the entire time. I was following my personal legend (传奇) and my treasure was my talent to write. And I wanted to share this treasure with the world.
I started knocking on the doors of other publishers. One opened and the publisher on the other side agreed to give The Alchemist a second chance. Slowly, through word of mouth, it finally started to sell — three thousand, then six thousand, ten thousand — book by book, gradually throughout the year.
Eight months later, an American visiting Brazil wanted to translate the book and help me find a publisher in the United States. But it still took some time to sell, slowly finding its audience in the United States by word of mouth, just as it did in Brazil. And then one day, Bill Clinton was photographed leaving the White House with a copy. Then people from different walks of life were suddenly talking about it.
The Alchemist became a phenomenon. The book hit the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for more than three hundred weeks. It has since been translated into more than eighty different languages, and is widely considered one of the ten best books of the twentieth century.
8. How many books did the writer sell in the first year
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Unknown.
9. Why did the writer have faith in his book
A. It’s about treasure seeking. B. It’s a fantasy story.
C. It’s about his talent to write. D. It’s a mirror of his life.
10. What finally helped the book become popular in the US
A. The door-to-door sale. B. Good word of mouth.
C. A photo with the book. D. An American publisher.
11. Which of the following is the best title
A. A Personal Legend B. Time Tries All
C. The Alchemist D. All Roads Lead to Rome
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者的书The Alchemist从无人问津到变得流行的故事。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“A bookseller in the northeast corner of the country told me that only one person purchased a copy the first week of its publication. It took another six months for the bookseller to unload a second copy. And who knows how long it took to sell the third.(在这个国家东北角的一个书商告诉我，只有一个人买了这本书出版的第一周。又过了六个月，这家书店才卖出第二本。谁知道卖第三个花了多久。)”可知，这位作家第一年卖出的书是未知的，故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Because it was me in there, all of me, heart and soul. I was living my own fantasy. A man sets out on a journey, dreaming of a beautiful or magical place, in search of some unknown treasure. At the end of his journey, the man realizes the treasure was with him the entire time. I was following my personal legend and my treasure was my talent to write. And I wanted to share this treasure with the world.(因为那是我，我的全部，全心全意。我活在自己的幻想中。一个人开始了一段旅程，梦想一个美丽或神奇的地方，寻找一些未知的宝藏。在旅程的终点，他发现宝藏一直都在他身边。我一直在追寻我的传奇，我的财富是我的写作天赋。我想与全世界分享这份财富。)”可知，作者对他的书有信心是因为这是他生活的一面镜子。故选D。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“When The Alchemist was first published twenty-five years ago in my native Brazil, no one noticed.(25年前，当《炼金术士》在我的祖国巴西首次出版时，没有人注意到。)”，第二段的“I was following my personal legend (传奇) and my treasure was my talent to write. And I wanted to share this treasure with the world.(我一直在追寻我的传奇，我的财富是我的写作天赋。我想与全世界分享这份财富。)”和最后一段的“The book hit the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for more than three hundred weeks. It has since been translated into more than eighty different languages, and is widely considered one of the ten best books of the twentieth century.(这本书登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜，并在那里停留了300多个星期。此后，它被翻译成80多种不同的语言，被广泛认为是二十世纪十佳书籍之一。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者的书The Alchemist从无人问津到变得流行的故事，也就是作者实现了自己的传奇，因此最好的题目是A选项“A Personal Legend(个人传奇)”，故选A。

Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience—even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
12. What was the special part of the concert
A. It had only 2,292 seats.
B. It made the world fall in horror.
C. It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
13. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Barcelona B. Eugeno Ampudia
C the Gran TeatreLiceu D. the Uceli Quartet
14. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
B The healthcare workers were more important.
C. The plants should have the equal rights.
D. We did everything in a wrong way.
15. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Art Around the World. D. Animals and Plants.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants.(剧院的第一场音乐会没有像往常一样挤满了人，而是用植物挤满了房间。)”和第二段“These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.(这些幸运的榕树、棕榈树和瑞士奶酪植物——都是由当地的苗圃引进的——有幸聆听了由乌塞利四重奏乐团演奏普契尼的《基督曲》。)”可知，音乐会听众是植物，所以音乐会最特别的部分是给了植物享受音乐的机会。故选C。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是文章最后一段“The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.( 这场动人的音乐会延续了Liceu的使命，即创造音乐与视觉艺术之间的对话。由Ampudia拍摄的表演图片和视频现在将成为La Caixa当代艺术收藏的一部分。)”可知，文章主要介绍的是音乐与艺术。从而推断出，该文章可能选自杂志《世界各地的艺术》。故选C。

It goes without saying that everyone has bad days at work.

When you’re feeling upset about a problem at work, take a minute to think of someone in your life that you’re grateful to and write a sentence or two on a notepad about what you appreciate. ____18____ Why does it have such power Gratitude is often a positive emotion you feel when someone else has gone out of their way to do something helpful for you that they didn’t have to do. That person has done something selfless in order to make your life little---or perhaps a lot---better.
____19____ It might be a relative who took care of you when you were little, a teacher who helped you out in a tough situation or a colleague who put you up for a great opportunity.
Picking one of those folks out and reminding yourself of why you’re grateful to them has two benefits. ____20____ It also reminds you of the deep social connections you have so that you don’t feel quite as isolated anymore.

【20题详解】
根据前文的“Picking one of those folks out and reminding yourself of why you're grateful to them has two benefits.(挑出一个这样的人，提醒自己为什么你要感谢他们有两个好处。)”可知，感激他人的好处有两个，后文应该承接的是具体的两个好处是什么。以及空后的“It also reminds you of the deep social connections you have so that you don't feel quite as isolated anymore.(它还会提醒你，你有很深的社会联系，这样你就不会觉得很孤立了。)”可知，设空处应该强调的是第一个好处。G选项“For one, it gets you thinking about something positive and lifts your mood.(首先，它让你思考一些积极的事情，提升你的情绪)”承上启下。故选G。

Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb!” wrote a blogger at Volleywood, a US-based volleyball website. The word combines “Zhu” and “superb” to describe the 24-year-old player’s leadership skills.
Zhu’s prolific (多产的) scoring performances put her among the Top 10 Global Outstanding Athletes for 2019 Heracles Prize of the Big Ben Award. As captain of the Chinese women’s national volleyball team, Zhu has “created the new golden age of women’s volleyball in China,” the award said.
Although she’s a superstar now, it hasn’t been easy for Zhu to get to where she is. Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu earned a chance to attend a local sports school at age 13. With her father’s encouragement, she made steady progress and quickly moved up, from the provincial youth team to the national youth team.
She rose to fame by helping China’s U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Shortly after, Zhu joined the national team and began playing under legendary coach Lang Ping.

Zhu is now an outstanding spiker (主攻手).

When The Alchemist was first published twenty-five years ago in my native Brazil no one noticed. A bookseller in the northeast corner of the country told me that only one person purchased a copy the first week of its publication. It took another six months for the bookseller to unload a second copy. And who knows how long it took to sell the third. At the end of the year, my original publisher decided to cancel our contract. I was forty-one and upset.
But I never lost faith in the book. Why Because it was me in there, all of me, heart and soul. I was living my own fantasy. A man sets out on a journey, dreaming of a beautiful or magical place, in search of some unknown treasure. At the end of his journey, the man realizes the treasure was with him the entire time. I was following my personal legend (传奇) and my treasure was my talent to write. And I wanted to share this treasure with the world.
I started knocking on the doors of other publishers. One opened, and the publisher on the other side agreed to give The Alchemist a second chance. Slowly, through word of mouth, it finally started to sell — three thousand, then six thousand, ten thousand — book by book, gradually throughout the year.
Eight months later, an American visiting Brazil wanted to translate the book and help me find a publisher in the United States. But it still took some time to sell, slowly finding its audience in the United States by word of mouth, just as it did in Brazil. And then one day, Bill Clinton was photographed leaving the White House with a copy. Then people from different walks of life were suddenly talking about it.
The Alchemist became a phenomenon. The book hit the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for more than three hundred weeks. It has since been translated into more than eighty different languages, and is widely considered one of the ten best books of the twentieth century.
8. How many books did the writer sell in the first year
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Unknown.
9. Why did the writer have faith in his book
A. It’s about treasure seeking. B. It’s a fantasy story.
C. It’s about his talent to write. D. It’s a mirror of his life.
10. What finally helped the book become popular in the US
A. The door-to-door sale. B. Good word of mouth.
C. A photo with the book. D. An American publisher.
11. Which of the following is the best title
A. A Personal Legend B. Time Tries All
C The Alchemist D. All Roads Lead to Rome
D
Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience—even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
12. What was the special part of the concert
A. It had only 2,292 seats.
B. It made the world fall in horror.
C. It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
13. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Barcelona B. Eugeno Ampudia
C. the Gran TeatreLiceu D. the Uceli Quartet
14. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
B The healthcare workers were more important.
C. The plants should have the equal rights.
D. We did everything in a wrong way.
15. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Art Around the World. D. Animals and Plants.
