Staff at the Thai Dynasty restaurant in Singapore never thought they’d receive such a huge tip during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), when economic condition seemed hard, let alone one as big as $600. But believe it or not, they did.
What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day. No, it was Jesse, a food delivery rider who came by to pick up an online order.
Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up. Along with the tip, he also left a heartfelt written note.
“Hello! I am writing to you all because I am very happy with your food and friendly customer service,” the note starts. “I want to say that your food is really delicious. You know, every day when I’m working, I see you all working so hard, which makes me feel proud of you all. Working is not easy, and I understand that because I am also working. Therefore, I want to thank you all for the good food and I want to help you all. Here inside is $600, for all of you. Share it among yourselves. Thank you once again!”
Speaking to Shin Min Daily, Thai Dynasty director Jason Pay said he never expected such a thing from a delivery rider, despite Jesse being a familiar face. “Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by,” Pay said.
Yes, they managed to return the super generous tip when Jesse swung by a few hours later to pick up another order. But seeing the hard work that the delivery rider highlighted in his staff, Pay decided to reward them the next day with pizza and other dishes for lunch.

In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.
The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo.
Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical (对称的), and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.
Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.
28. What do we know about tulou
A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status.
B. Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally.
C. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function.
D. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement.
29. What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict
A. Escape tunnels.
B. Enough food.
C. Small windows.
D. Defensive weapons.
30. What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou
A.Favorable. B. Unconcerned.
C. Negative. D. Unclear.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments
B. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings
C. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008
D. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending
D
We all try to spend our days doing engaging things, but the reality is that there’s a lot of boring work which also must be done. Whether it’s washing the dishes, filing papers, entering data, or any of the countless dull yet critical tasks that keep our homes, organizations, and communities running, we all have less-than-exciting tasks we have to do. Of course it’s not always easy to get ourselves to stick to these tasks, even if we know we should. What does it take to persist (坚持) when work is boring
Researchers have explored this question from many angles and studies have shown that people may persist longer when they monitor their progress, receive rewards, or when a task is made more fun. These findings have direct effects on how we design products and policies. For instance, companies are increasingly offering incentives to encourage employees to get more exercise, and managers are carrying out various game strategies to make employees’ work more fun.
Recent research by Harvard University, however, suggests that for tasks that don’t require a lot of attention, there may be a better approach. Researchers conducted a series of studies with over 2,000 participants and found that in many cases, people stop working on tasks earlier than expected not because they aren’t motivated enough, but because the tasks do not need enough attention.
Often, strategies designed to increase persistence will involve changing something about the work itself — but you can only make washing the dishes so exciting or mentally stimulating (振奋人心的). Rather than endlessly attempting to make boring tasks less boring, it can sometimes be more effective instead to pair these activities with other tasks that require more attention. This concept is called tangential immersion (切入式专注法).
Basically, the mind seeks to be engaged. We experience boredom when doing tasks that require less attention than we have available, and this leads us to quit those tasks too early. But if there is a second activity in which we can involve ourselves at the same time with the low-attention task, it can occupy that extra attention, reducing boredom and thus increasing persistence.
32. In what circumstance may people continue with a boring task
A. When they are full of energy. B. When they want to kill time.
C. When they lack attention. D. When they feel motivated.
33. What does the underlined word “incentives” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Instructions. B. Positions.
C. Rewards. D. Programmes.
34. Why did the participants quit their tasks earlier than expected
A. The tasks were beyond them.
B. The tasks demanded less attention.
C. The participants were not devoted.
D. The studies took too much time.
35. How can we focus on a boring task according to tangential immersion
A. By making it more challenging.
B. By checking the progress repeatedly.
C. By refreshing the mind regularly.
D. By pairing it with a demanding one.

How to Become a More Social Person
Socializing is generally considered a pleasant and leisurely activity. 36 Here are some ways to help you become a more social person over all.
Smile. Everybody wants to be around people who are happy and excited about life.
37 Not only will it instantly make you feel better, but it will also make other people want to be around you, talk to you, and get to know you. A study shows that smiling can help improve your mood and make it easier for you to interact with others.
38 If you are at a party or other social gatherings, make sure your body language says that you want to be approached. Make eye contact with people, give them a nod, and look straight ahead instead of at your feet or the floor, which will make other people more likely to come up to you.
Be genuine. 39 Being fully engaged not only shows that you are friendly, but it also makes for more stimulating and fulfilling interactions with others. Avoid texting or talking on the phone when you are in the middle of a conversation, especially if the subject matter is important.
Ask people questions about themselves. Let’s face it. People love talking about themselves. And if you want to be more social and start talking to people more, then show your interest in people by asking how their day is going, how they’re feeling, and what they have coming up. 40
A. Say something nice.
B. Don’t ask private questions.
C. Have welcoming body language.
D. However, various anxieties can make it hard to interact with others.
E. Even if you don’t always feel happy, force yourself to smile now and then.
F. When talking with somebody, always show a sincere interest in the conversation.
G. They will show you want to open up and are waiting for people to get you talking.

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。
In 1945， a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch（胸针）in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price-five dollars-was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack（面粉袋改做的）shirt and washed-out trousers，he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time "
“I’ll try." the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering（捶打）from a side street， Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin（苏打罐）.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
(
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.
Finally, the time came!

B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在新加坡，一位送餐员给了一家餐厅的员工们一笔高额的小费作为对他们辛勤工作的感谢，而餐厅的员工们将这笔小费退还给了同样辛勤工作的送餐员的故事。
24. C 指代判断题。根据第二段第一、二句“What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day.（更令人惊讶的是给他们留下高额小费的人。这并非来自一位那天特别慷慨的顾客。）”可推知，It指代的是上文中提到的“小费”。故选C。
25. D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up.”可知，由于经常收到餐厅的订单，这名送餐员成了员工们熟悉的面孔，这名送餐员想对员工们的辛勤工作表示感谢，因为每次他来取东西时，员工们都能确保订单按时准备好。由此可推知，令Jesse印象最深的是这家餐厅里员工们积极的工作态度。故选D。
26. B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的“Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by”可知，员工们因其良好的服务而被允许保留小费，但他们选择退还小费。由此可知，员工们通过将小费还给了送餐员来表示他们的感激。故选B。
27. D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了在新加坡，一位送餐员在经济状况困难的新型冠状病毒疫情期间给了一家餐厅的员工们一笔高额的小费作为对他们辛勤工作的感谢，而餐厅的员工们将这笔小费退还给了同样辛勤工作的送餐员的故事。D项“只要人人都献出一点爱，世界会变得更加美好”符合本文主旨。故选D。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。2008年，46座永定土楼被正式列入世界文化遗产名录，此后，永定土楼闻名于世。文章主要介绍了永定土楼的建筑风格和特色。
28. C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal (共有的) living and defensive organization”可知，永定土楼是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范，展示了一种特殊类型的集体生活和防御结构。故选C。
29. B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.”可知，有足够的食物，居民们就能够在长期的冲突中生存下来。由此可知，在长期的冲突中，充足的食物对居民们来说最重要。故选B。
30. A 观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句“Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.”可知，土楼是如此非凡的建筑，被列入世界文化遗产名录是名副其实的。由此可推知，作者对于保护土楼持赞成态度。故选A。
31. D 标题概括题。通读全文尤其是第一段内容可知，本文介绍了46座永定土楼被正式列入世界文化遗产名录，此后，永定土楼闻名于世。接下来，文章主要介绍了土楼的建筑风格和特色——土楼独特的建筑结构结合了生存和防御功能。B项“一种集生存和防御于一体的独特结构”符合本文主旨，适合作本文的标题。故选D。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了坚持完成无聊的工作的方法。
32. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... studies have shown that people may persist longer when they monitor their progress, receive rewards, or when a task is made more fun.”可知，研究已经表明，当人们监测自己的进展、获得奖励，或当一项任务变得更有趣时，他们可能会坚持更久。故选D。
33. C 词义猜测题。画线词所在句的上文“... studies have shown that people may persist longer when they monitor their progress, receive rewards ...”中的rewards一词是重要的提示。根据画线词所在句的后一分句可知，管理者们在实施各种游戏策略（激励机制之一）来让员工们的工作更加有趣。由此可推测出，画线词所在句的前一分句指“（各家）公司正在不断地提供奖励来鼓励员工……”。故选C。
34. B 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“... in many cases, people stop working on tasks earlier than expected not because they aren’t motivated enough, but because the tasks do not need enough attention.”可知，那些实验参与者之所以过早放弃他们的任务，是因为那些任务不需要足够的注意力。而且最后一段中的“We experience boredom when doing tasks that require less attention than we have available, and this leads us to quit those tasks too early.”对第三段最后一句的说法加以强调，即当我们在做需要较少注意力的任务时，我们会感到无聊——这导致我们过早地放弃那些任务。故选B。
35. D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Rather than endlessly attempting to make boring tasks less boring, it can sometimes be more effective instead to pair these activities with other tasks that require more attention. This concept is called tangential immersion (切入式专注法).”可知，与其无休止地试图让无聊的任务不那么无聊，有时将这些活动与其他需要更多注意力的任务结合起来反而会更有效。这个概念被称为“切入式专注法”。这与D项说法相符。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于如何成为一个更善于交际的人的方法。
36. D 考查句间的转折关系。空前一句谈到，交际通常被视为一种令人愉快的、放松的活动。空后则在说有一些方法可以帮助你成为一个更善交际的人。结合上下文语境可知，D项（然而，种种焦虑会使得与他人交流变得困难。）符合此处的语境。故选D。
37. E 考查句间的承接关系。空前一句提到，大家都喜欢让身边围绕着快乐且对生活充满激情的人；后文则提到微笑的种种益处；且空后一句中的it指代的是上文提到的一种做法。由此可推断，E项（即使你并不总是感到快乐也要强迫自己时不时地微笑。）符合此处的语境，也与本段的主旨句“Smile.”相契合。故选E。
38. C 考查段落的总分关系。分析文章结构及空处所在的位置可知，空处应填本段的主旨句。后文谈到在社交聚会中要用肢体语言表达你想和别人交流的意愿，同时列举了几种在社交过程中常用的肢体语言。所以本段主要讲述的是使用热情的肢体语言这一方法。故选C。
39. F 考查句间的承接关系。本段的主旨句表示“要真诚”，接下来应是对此句的内容进行解释说明。分析选项可知，F项（在与某人谈话的时候，要一直表现出对这段谈话的真诚的兴趣。）符合此处的语境。故选F。
40. G 考查段落的总分关系。前文提到通过问一些问题来表达对对方的兴趣。空处位于段尾，应总结上文所述。分析选项可知，G项（他们会表明你想要畅所欲言并正等着人们跟你交谈。）符合该处语境，选项中的They指代的是前文列出的那些问题。故选G。

第二节
本文是一篇新闻报道。中铁国际表示，为连接印尼城市雅加达和万隆的高铁网络，一款为其量身定制的“子弹头”列车在华东地区亮相，它是该项目的一个重要里程碑，也为该线路的预定开通做好了准备。
56. and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，“marking an important milestone of the project”和“preparing for the line’s scheduled opening”是并列结构，所以应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
57. will be shipped 考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语soon可知，句子应用将来时；ship与主语They之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，所以此句应用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be shipped。
58. which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是China Railway International。故填which。
59. advanced 考查词性转换。本空与mature一起修饰名词technologies，故应用advance的形容词形式，表示“先进的”。故填advanced。
60. changes 考查名词的复数。分析句子结构可知，此处要用所给词的名词形式。空前没有冠词修饰或限定，且根据常识可知，“改变”也应是多方面的。make changes意为“做出改变”。故填changes。
61. to give 考查非谓语动词。分析句意可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to give。
62. a 考查冠词。根据句意可知，此处是泛指。landmark project是单数概念，且landmark的发音是以辅音音素开头的，故用不定冠词a。故填a。
63. began 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语in 2018可知，句子应用一般过去时。故填began。
64. reaching 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，of为介词，后面应用动词-ing形式作宾语。且reach和主语trains是逻辑上的主动关系。故填reaching。
65. to 考查介词。from ... to ...为固定搭配，意为“从……到……”。故填to。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Dear John,
I’m delighted to receive your letter, in which you expressed eagerness for some information about the Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Campaign held in our school. I’m glad to share it with you.
As scheduled, the activity took place last Friday. First, all the teachers and students attended a lecture to get a good knowledge of earthquake. During the lecture, the lecturer impressed on us the damage an earthquake can cause and how to protect ourselves when an earthquake happens through videos and pictures. After that, an earthquake prevention drill was conducted.
I’ve learned a lot from this activity. It is of great significance for us to master some self-help measures.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another. To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers on the early morning. Every coin he won went to a soda tin, his treasured “bank"， and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached the Christmas Eve.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the time came! Reuben stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop without a second's delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Dora was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, mom"，the son announced proudly. "You too." the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.

W: Do you like traveling If you do, here are some cities you shouldn’t miss.
The first is the French capital. It is often called the most beautiful city in the world. Known as the City of Light, Paris is home to some of the world’s most-visited tourist sites, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Moulin Rouge and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. I visited the city with my family at the beginning of this year. I liked visiting the city’s many sidewalk cafés.
The second city is in my own country. And I live in it. More than 50 million people visit New York City every year. The five areas of New York have many of the most recognized attractions in the world. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to get a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline, or observe the city from the top of the Empire State Building. Eat famous New York pizza.
The third city is London, where my father was born. It is a world capital of culture and fashion. It is also one of the world’s leading financial centers. Visitors can visit the rooms in Buckingham Palace, the official home of the Queen of England. When I visited it last year, I visited the Sherlock Holmes Museum. I also walked across Abbey Road, just like the band The Beatles did in 1969. I also checked the time at the famous clock tower, Big Ben.
