Dear Tom,
I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I must recommend my own city,
Dalian.
Located in Liaodong Peninsula, it’s neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter and it
will give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city. Dalian
has beautiful squares, European architectures and colorful festivals, capturing its unique spirit.
Most importantly, you won’t miss out on Dalian seafood which will be appealing to you.
There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around. I’m sure
Dalian will strike a chord with you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

However, Joey wanted to live. In Albany he found hope and strength in a very good doctor
who was single-minded in his ambition to treat patients. The doctor kept Joey alive until he was
able to start a new miracle drug that finally stopped his cancer. On hearing good news, I went
to the hospital to show my gratitude to the doctor. Waiting for the doctor, my eyes were
suddenly caught by a photo of the doctor and his mother, whose smiling face would never fade
from our memory.

Then I realised that the unborn baby saved my brother’s life. I told my brother how his hand
stroked the tummy of Catuzza and felt the baby. Never would any of us have imagined that the
unborn baby would one day save the life of the little child feeling its kick. What a pleasant
surprise! With happy tears streaming down Joey’s face, he hugged the doctor tightly and felt
the warmth of the baby directly this time. It’s love that makes an extraordinarily lucky ending.

I’d always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together again since I was
a child, so when I left school, I decided to become a mechanic. I studied hard and eventually
got my qualifications and started working.
First, I worked mostly on cars and other vehicles, but after getting bored of my town
and longing for adventure I decided that I wanted to try something new. I decided to apply
for a position as a mechanic on a ship.
It was a big change, but I was excited. I learnt a lot about the different systems on the
ship and how to keep them running. It was a challenge and so different from before. I
struggled at first but I enjoyed it once I got used to it. I felt a great sense of satisfaction when
I fixed things.
The crew were all very helpful and it was a great experience. I travelled all over the
world and saw some amazing places. I completed my work and travelled. I learnt a lot about
the different cultures and was able to use the skills I learnt in my training. Eventually, I
returned to my country and started my own repair shop.

A
People often wonder about some of the best places to see. A good point of reference is to first look at attractions labeled as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites are culturally or physically significant places listed by the United Nations for their importance to humanity as a whole.
The Mogao Caves, China
Also known as the Mogao Grottoes, the caves are located along the cliffside above the Daquan River in Gansu province. First built in 366 and comprising 492 cavcs, the Mogao Caves are known as the biggest collection of Buddhi st art in the world. The Mogao Caves, vital sites on the historic Silk Road, are a perfect display of Chinese art history over a period of a thousand years.
Redwood National Park, US
Lying in the mountainous region north of San Francisco in California, US, the Redwood National Park is significant for its collection of redwood trees —— the tallest and oldest trees in the world —— as well as its variety of sea and land wildlife. Once abundant throughout the mild regions of the world, the Redwood trees of California are among the only living examples left of this old plant species, a biological group which has existed for 160 million years.
Machu Picchu, Peru
Situated in the Andes Mountains, this fascinating ancient city is remarkable both for its beautiful setting as well as its use of complex city planning. Standing at 2,430 meters above sea level, the city of Machu Picchu is covered in both mist and mystery.
21. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A report. B. A lecture. C. A travel brochure. D. A tour commentary.
22. Which of the following can the Mogao caves show us
A. They lie above sea level of 2430 meters.
B. They are of significance on the Silk Road.
C. They are the best place s to see various wildlife.
D. They have yet to become UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
23. What's the similarity of the three places
A. They are tourist attractions.
B. They are located in mild regions.
C. They present the perfect art history.
D. They are full of plant and animal species.
B
It was a snowy day during the spring break when I walked into a great restaurant. In this blizzard weather, it was the only restaurant that remained open.
The restaurant has a long history in Hong Kong. Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running the restaurant since 2007.
“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years,”Peter said.“Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-ce nt bowl of r ice was too expensive, but now a $20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.
Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant, featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.
When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said, “We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genius Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”
“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can't fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person's effort.”
He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people's enjoyment of their work and thought.
Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman's spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.
24. How long have the couple been running the restaurant
A. 16 years B. 20 years C.30 years D. 70 years
25. Why is the restaurant different from other American Chinese restaurants
A. Its customers are mainly Chinese.
B. It sticks to its original taste of the dishes.
C. It adjusts the taste according to the customers.
D. Its menu merely contains Guangdong and Sichuan food.
26. Which words can best describe Peter
A. Generous and patient. B. Ambitious and economical.
C. Thoughtful and humorous. D. Precise and devoted.
27. What can we in fer from the passage
A. He believes that cooking just needs one person's effort.
B. He shows an interest in preserving ancient Chinese art.
C. He takes pride in cooking the best typical Chinese cuisine.
D. He cares about the taste of the dishes rather than customers' complaints.
C
A robot created at Standford University is diving down to shipwrecks(沉船) in a way that humans can't do. Known as OceanOneK, the robot allows its operators to feel like they're underwater explorers, too.
OceanOneK resembles(像) a human div er from the front, with arms, hands and eyes that capture the underwater world in full color. The back of the robot has computers and eight multidirectional thrusters(推进器) that help it carefully explore the sites of fragile shipwrecks. When an operator at the ocean's surface uses controls to direct OceanOneK, the robot’s touch-based feedback system causes the person to feel the water's resistance.
The idea for OceanOneK came from a desire to study coral reefs in the Red Sea at depths beyond the normal range for divers. While OceanOneK was designed to reach maximum depths of 656 feet, researchers had a new goal: 1 kilometer, hence the new name for OceanOneK. The researchers changed the robot's body by using special foam to increase buoyancy(浮力) and fight the pressures of 1,000 meters more than 100 times what humans experience at sea level. OceanOneK also got two new types of hands and increased arm and head motion.
During OceanOneK’s deep dive in February, team members discovered the robot couldn’t rise when they stopped for a thruster check. Flotations on the communications and power line had collapsed, causing the line to pile on the top of the robot.
OceanOneK’s descent was a success. It dropped off a memorial marker on the seabed that reads, “A robot’s first touch of the deep seafloor ——A vast new world for humans to explore.” Khatib, a professor, called the experience an “incredible journey.”“This is the first time that a robot has been capable of going to such a depth, interacting with the environment, and permitting the human operator to feel that environment,”he said.
28. What can we learn about OceanOneK
A. Its eyes are colorful.
B. It functions automatically.
C. It looks like its operator from the front.
D. It is remotely controlled to explore underwater.
29. How does the author develop the third paragraph
A. By listing data. B. By raising questions.
C. By reasoning and analyzing. D. By presenting an argument.
30. What does the underlined words “descent”mean in the last paragraph
A. Successful operation. B. Deep diving.
C. Pressure resistance. D. Flexible exploration.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A Creative Explorer B. The Ambitious Exploration
C. A Self-driven Seeker —— A Robot D. A Deep-Sea Explorer —— OceanOneK
D
Increased human activity and climate change have caused a rise of algae (藻类植物) in water bodies around the world—— sometimes choking ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. In more extreme cases, they can produce dangerous poisons that can sicken or kill people and animals. But the plenty of algae could prove crucial as our population rises beyond eight billion people worldwide because algae are crops that don't need land, freshwater, or fertilizer to fill nutritional gaps.
And even though they are so closely associated with human's bad impact on Earth, algae could also play vital roles in slowing climate change and helping fight against pollution, viruses, and more. With microplastic pollution documented in almost all habitats related to water, a study showed that algae can help filter(过滤) microplastics from water. Algae can also filter chemicals that can be used for fertilizer.
Algae can produce more effective biofuel than traditional sources. Researchers at a German algae growing facility are already using it to fuel plane. Researchers believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon released from airplanes by up to 80 percent.
Animal feed containing a kind of red algae reduces harmful methane(甲烷) released from cattle by more than 80 percent. The addition works by changing the environment in a cow’s stomach, stopping the production of methane before it can be released.
Red algae can stop the copies of some viruses, and have been shown to stimulate the body's immune(免疫的) system and could become a powerful anti-HIV medicine.
In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to change the CO breathed out by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.
32. What can we know about al ge from the first paragraph
A. Better late than never.
B. Every coin has two sides.
C. All is well that ends well.
D. Two heads are better than one.
33. Why do algae have a positive impact on environment
A. They avoid climate change.
B. They absorb pollutants in the air.
C. They reduce microplastics in the water.
D. They filter most poisonous chemicals.
34. What can algae help in our life
A. Change animal feed into methane.
B. Store carbon released from airplanes.
C. Help researchers to create traditional sources.
D. Create biofuel and-reduce methane in cows’s stomach.
35. How do algae benefit human's health
A. By helping fight against diseases. B. By increasing human's strength.
C. By producing more oxygen than other plants. D. By replacing much food for astronauts.

Put a stop to those impulse(冲动) buys. 37 , even if it is on sale. Impulse buys are done in the heat of the moment and without thought for what it's costing you. Encouraging yourself to question your purchase before you buy allows you to process what you are doing.
Use cash rather than cards. Withdraw cash before you go to a restaurant or shopping and set a fixed budget you must stick to. 38
39 It's not just about creating that budget. It's about sticking to it, too. You shouldn't be dipping into your savings every time you feel like it. Setting up a standing order from your current account into your savings the moment you receive your salary will ensure you keep up the habit. Successful savers stick to their plans and watch the money pile up.
Just as the old saying goes,“A penny (便士) saved is a penny earned.” 40 .
A. Be disciplined
B. Get in and get out
C. Be careful of promotion

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 I was 1 1 years old, we lived in Albany, New York. My parents rented the first floor of a two-store y house. My job that summer was to take care of my three-year-old brother, Joey. There wasn't much to do, but one thing that kept me happy was spending time with our house owner, a young Italian mother-to-be. They called her Catuzza. It was Italian for“sweet little Catherine.” She was well into her pregnancy, happy though she was, but she was also lonely much of the time. She knew very little English, and during the day she missed her husband a great deal. He was a shoemaker and worked long hours to support his growing family.
Catuzza enjoyed spending time with little Joey and me. It was also always nice for children to feel that adults enjoyed being with them, and we knew that she enjoyed time with us. My little brother had golden hair. She loved to play with his hair, running her fingers through it. Her smile always made me feel that she was wondering about her own small child, not yet born. Sometimes when the baby kicked, she would let us touch her stomach. Once, when Joey was close by, the baby kicked as if it showed a response to Joey's gentle stroke. Gradually, Joey's company made Catuzza no longer feel lonely.
After that summer, my family moved to another part of the city, where Joey and I spent the rest of our childhood, but we still kept in touch with Catuzza. I went on to finish school and became a writer. My brother Joey grew up to join the army, go to college, work for the New York State Department of Labor—— and, suddenly, discover at age 35 that he had leukaemia, which was cancer of the blood. The disease was killing him.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

However, Joey wanted to live.
Then I realised that the unborn baby saved my brother's life.
