The traditional Chinese lunar calendar(农历)divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气)．The Start of Winter, the 19th solar term of the year.
The Start of Winter is the first solar term of winter, which means winter is coming and crops harvested in autumn should be stored up.
In ancient times, the Start of Winter was regarded as the beginning of winter, however，due to geographical factors, the actual winter time varies from place to place.
In fact，the Start of Winter is not the beginning of winter in terms of meteorology(气象学)．The weather every year is different, so the beginning of winter could be quite different.And as China is very large, it starts at different times in different areas.
The beginnings of the four seasons were important festivals in ancient times. Before the Start of Winter，the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat.On that day，the emperor would lead his officials to the countryside and “welcome the winter”．
People eat dumplings on the beginning of winter. Legend has it that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing invented “Jiao Ear” (娇耳) to treat typhoid (伤寒) patients with ear frostbite (冻疮)．He cooked mutton，hot peppers and herbs to drive out the cold and warm up the body.He put these materials into a dough skin and made them into an ear shape.Since then, people have learned to make the food which became known as “dumpling” or jiaozi. Today there is still a saying that goes “Eat dumplings on the Start of Winter Day, or your ears will be frostbitten.”

5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The Start of Winter.
B．The change of weather.
C．The important festival.
D．The beginning of winter.

Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. __8__. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response — no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. __9__.
Let out sadness
The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. __10__. We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. __11__. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
__12__
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don't forget to give yourself a break.
A．Relax your mind
B．Enjoy a mix of emotions
C．We tend to deny the important function emotions serve
D．Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life
E．So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects
F．A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience
G．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside
8．选D 承接上文“The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid.”可知，负面情绪不是我们应该试图避免的，且与下文中的“Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.”衔接，并结合下文介绍的策略可推知，此处表示负面情绪反而有助于健康、快乐地生活，故选D。
9．选E 结合本段小标题Don't force cheer和对本段的整体理解可推知，强颜欢笑会适得其反，故选E。
10．选G 根据上文中的“negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them”和下文中的“We don't like contradictory behavior.”可推知，此处表示当我们的外表和内心的情感不一致时我们会感觉不开心，故选G。
11．选F 根据本段小标题Respond cautiously以及空前一句中的“When you respond cautiously”和空后一句“Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.”可推知，F项符合语境，其中的“cautious response”也是提示。
12．选B 根据空处所在位置可知，空处是段落小标题；根据对本段的整体理解可推知，本段主要讲的是享受混合情绪，故选B。PAGE

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My kids sit in Gee's living room and gently lift the New Year ornaments (装饰品) out of a well-loved cardboard box.Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure.She tells them that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece during each year's after-New Year sale.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage.Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who.Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them in a chair outside the garage with a thank-you note.When we got home from work that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift.The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk the neighbourhood on garbage day, returning garbage cans for people he barely knew.
Then, his young wife, Gee, found herself living alone.Neighbours had taken the time to handle her garbage cans.
We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee.We told her how special Tom had been to us, how we grieved (悲伤) for her, and how thankful we were to have known him.
When Gee invited us over to look through the New Year ornaments, I realized how hard it must be to part with that box, a piece of Tom.It's the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard.It's the ladies who call Tom when their pool filter breaks.
These days, we're piling up boxes of our own.We are planning a move, but Jim and I agree to wait until January.This New Year, we'll decorate our furniture with Gee's ornaments, out of the box that is labeled in Tom's handwriting.Thank you, I'll say, for teaching us what it means to be a neighbour.

I started reading Shakespeare when I was nine, after my grandfather, an actor, sent me a copy of Romeo and Juliet.The story and the language attracted me.I found out about Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ) and started volunteering for it when I was about 10.When I was 13, I managed to run a film project with SGCNZ.
I'm home-educated and a part-time correspondence student (函授生) as well.We have a drama group made up of quite a few people who are also home-educated.I've also joined Wellington Young Actors, a youth theatre company.There are many similarities and differences between being home-educated and attending a five-day program.I love hearing other students' reactions when meeting them and share my different ways of experiencing the world with them.While explaining the way I learn can be a challenge, I love helping people to understand there isn't just one way of learning.
Being home-educated has offered me the freedom to have an individualized education and to pursue my passions.My education has always been about making those focuses but I do lots of the same things as people who attend five-day programs do.Shakespeare is a great approach to lots of things around English, history and the arts.I think something you learn when you perform is connection.You have to have a connection with your fellow actors, with the audience and with Shakespeare.I learn this from actually being on stage and from taking part in different Shakespeare festival programs.
I believe it's the emotion in Shakespeare that makes it relevant today.You can be reading something that was written 400 years ago and be able to see parts of your life in the work as it shows you how to understand the world and explore a lot of different ideas.

解析：选 C 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“There are many similarities and differences ...when meeting them”可知，a five-day program与being home-educated之间有同有异，且通过前者，作者可以接触到其他学生，故可推知，该短语指的是学校教育。
2．Why does the author choose home education
A．To be different from others.
B．To better focus on his passions.
C．To enjoy more personal freedom.
D．To improve his academic performance.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Being home-educated ...to pursue my passions.”可知，在家接受教育给了作者接受个性化教育的自由，让作者可以追求自己热爱的事物。
3．What do we know about the author
A．A famous young actor. B．A loyal program volunteer.
C．A home education writer. D．A devoted Shakespeare-lover.

When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poets __1__ (think) when they wrote or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we'd created the poem __2__ (we). Will a poem still mean as much if a computer writes it

语篇解读：当我们读诗的时候，我们会很容易跟诗人产生共鸣。澳大利亚研究人员Oscar Schwartz创建了一个用计算机写诗的网站，但此法是否可行呢？
1．were thinking 考查动词的时态。句意：当我们读一首诗时，我们通常会想象诗人在写诗的时候正在想什么或者他们在那个时候正在做什么。根据句意可知，此处表示在过去的某个时刻正在做某事，应用过去进行时，空处与“what they were doing”并列，故填were thinking。
2．ourselves 考查代词。句意：这些想法使我们更好地与这些文字联系起来，好像是我们自己创作了这首诗。根据句意可知，此处表示“我们自己”，故填ourselves。
3．using 考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词，故填using。
4．but/yet 考查连词。空前意为“电脑创作的诗可能在语法和风格上都是正确的”，空后意为“一些人说这样的诗仍缺乏创造性和真实的意义”，根据句意可知，前后句之间为转折关系，故填but/yet。
5．creativity/creativeness 考查名词。根据空后的“and true meaning”并结合语境可知，空处与“true meaning”构成并列关系，故填creativity/creativeness，此处表示“缺乏创造性和真实的意义”。
6．called 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，动词call和其逻辑主语a website之间构成动宾关系，故用其过去分词形式作定语。
7．were written/are written 考查动词的语态和时态。分析句子结构可知，动词write和其主语之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；且动作有可能是在过去发生，也有可能是在现在经常性发生，故用一般过去时或一般现在时均可，故填were written/are written。
8．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，空处指代先行词“a speech”，指物，故用which来引导该从句。
9．fool 考查动词。根据空前的“were able to”和语境可知，此处表示这个网站的诗能够骗过65%的读者，此处应该使用动词，故填fool。
10．what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，作及物动词identify的宾语，且空处在从句中作主语，故填what。

Last Saturday I had a trip to a new opened park called Guangfulin Relics Park. When I got there I found the environment was perfect and that there was various birds flying around. That attracted me most was the strange building. It looked like a flooding house, the roof of which was above the water, and indeed it's “body” was under the water. People could get there by going down the stair. In the building there was an exhibition which was very much great, for there were plenty architectural models and exhibits.
In a word, this park is a place worth visited again.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The lander (着陆器) carrying China's first Mars rover (探测车) successfully touched down on the red planet early Saturday morning Beijing Time. It is the first time that China has landed a probe on a planet other than Earth.
Tianwen-1, consisting of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China's island province of Hainan on July 23, 2020. This is the first step in China's planetary exploration of the solar system, with the purpose of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission.
The name Tianwen, meaning “questions to Heaven”， comes from a poem written by the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340－278 BC). China's first Mars rover is named Zhurong after the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology, which echoes with the Chinese name of the red planet: Huoxing (the planet of fire)．
Tianwen-1 was launched via a Long March-5 rocket, China's largest launch vehicle. Tianwen-1 has been traveling in space for nearly 10 months. It has carried out four orbital corrections and a deep-space maneuver. It had flown 475 million km and was 192 million km from Earth when it reached Mars orbit.
The craft's plummet (骤降) through the Martian (火星的) atmosphere, lasting about nine minutes, was extremely complicated with no ground control, and had to be performed by the spacecraft autonomously.
“Such a challenging attempt is characterized by a succession of complex activities that must be conducted completely by the spacecraft within a very short period of time，” said Geng Yan, an official with the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the CNSA. “What added to the difficulties was that we don't know much about the Martian atmosphere, which brought a lot of uncertainties to the mission. Each step had only one chance, and the actions were closely linked. If there had been any flaw, the landing would have failed.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了天问一号探测器成功着陆于火星乌托邦平原南部预选着陆区，标志着中国首次火星探测任务着陆火星取得成功。至此，中国成为世界上第二个成功着陆火星的国家。
1．What is the mission of Tianwen-1
A．To record the wind speed on Mars.
B．To explore the atmosphere of Mars.
C．To search for aliens in the solar system.
D．To accomplish three major tasks on Mars.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，天问一号的任务是完成在这颗红色行星上的轨道飞行、着陆和漫游三次任务。故选D。
2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The introduction of the poet Qu Yuan.
B．The reasons for the craft landing on Mars.
C．The origin of two names Tianwen and Zhurong.
D．The importance of ancient Chinese mythology.
解析：选C 段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知，本段主要介绍了天问和祝融两个名字的来源。故选C。
3．What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly indicate
A．The huge task of Tianwen-1.
B．The surroundings of the Mars orbit.
C．The expense of traveling in space.
D．The size of the Long March-5 rocket.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，列举这些数据目的是为了说明天问一号的任务之宏大。故选A。
4．What can we know from Geng Yan's words
A．China's attempt to explore Mars is successful.
B．Landing on Mars is a very challenging move.
C．People are enthusiastic about exploring the universe.
D．Tianwen-1 is essential to China's space station program.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段耿燕说的话可知，在火星上着陆是一个非常具有挑战性的任务。故选B。

3．primarily 考查副词。该句表示她主要使用飞机、船和火车出行。修饰动词应用副词。故填primarily。
4．arranging 考查非谓语动词。空前讲述她遇到很多困难，包括办签证。including是介词，后应用动名词。故填arranging。
5．were outweighed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。该句表示挑战与她在途中的难忘的经历相比不值一提。此处描述过去发生的事情且主语challenges与outweigh之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语challenges为复数形式，故填 were outweighed。
6．locals 考查名词复数。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，此空应用名词，意为“当地人”，local作“当地人”讲时，常用复数。故填locals。
7．a 考查冠词。a variety of是固定短语，意为“种种；各种”。故填a。
8．valuable 考查形容词。空后的experience是名词，意为“经历，体验”，故其前应用形容词修饰。故填valuable。
9．as 考查介词。describe sb./sth.as sth.是固定搭配，意为“把……称为……”。故填as。
10．But 考查连词。空前讲Lexie十分喜欢旅行，并把旅行描述成“活着的最喜欢的事儿”，空后讲述如果Lexie说她不享受用过去一年的时间来恢复过去三年对身体的磨损，那就是说她在撒谎。由此可知，空后内容是从反面来说明Lexie十分喜欢旅行，故前后句构成转折关系。故填But。PAGE

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The lander (着陆器) carrying China's first Mars rover (探测车) successfully touched down on the red planet early Saturday morning Beijing Time. It is the first time that China has landed a probe on a planet other than Earth.
Tianwen-1, consisting of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China's island province of Hainan on July 23, 2020. This is the first step in China's planetary exploration of the solar system, with the purpose of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission.
The name Tianwen, meaning “questions to Heaven”， comes from a poem written by the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340－278 BC). China's first Mars rover is named Zhurong after the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology, which echoes with the Chinese name of the red planet: Huoxing (the planet of fire)．
Tianwen-1 was launched via a Long March-5 rocket, China's largest launch vehicle. Tianwen-1 has been traveling in space for nearly 10 months. It has carried out four orbital corrections and a deep-space maneuver. It had flown 475 million km and was 192 million km from Earth when it reached Mars orbit.
The craft's plummet (骤降) through the Martian (火星的) atmosphere, lasting about nine minutes, was extremely complicated with no ground control, and had to be performed by the spacecraft autonomously.
“Such a challenging attempt is characterized by a succession of complex activities that must be conducted completely by the spacecraft within a very short period of time，” said Geng Yan, an official with the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the CNSA. “What added to the difficulties was that we don't know much about the Martian atmosphere, which brought a lot of uncertainties to the mission. Each step had only one chance, and the actions were closely linked. If there had been any flaw, the landing would have failed.”
1．What is the mission of Tianwen-1
A．To record the wind speed on Mars.
B．To explore the atmosphere of Mars.
C．To search for aliens in the solar system.
D．To accomplish three major tasks on Mars.
2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The introduction of the poet Qu Yuan.
B．The reasons for the craft landing on Mars.
C．The origin of two names Tianwen and Zhurong.
D．The importance of ancient Chinese mythology.
3．What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly indicate
A．The huge task of Tianwen-1.
B．The surroundings of the Mars orbit.
C．The expense of traveling in space.
D．The size of the Long March-5 rocket.
4．What can we know from Geng Yan's words
A．China's attempt to explore Mars is successful.
B．Landing on Mars is a very challenging move.
C．People are enthusiastic about exploring the universe.
D．Tianwen-1 is essential to China's space station program.

Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in Mediterranean (地中海), swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was one of the things we talked at length about. When we imagined our life with the children, we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make_good_on those plans. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and going out the door in time for school. We needed family time out.
It was the wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible moments. When we look back at our lives, I know we'll be glad we did it. I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
