Recently,"college students going to Zibo for barbecue" and "taking a high-speed train to taste Zibo barbecue"have become hot topics on Chinese social platforms. Zibo barbecue offers a distinctive dining experience. On each table is a small stove. Customers can process skewers(肉串) themselves and then wrap them in a thin pancake, usually with a spring onion inside. The experience of making "Zibo barbecue" offers a sense of participation and leisure time for diners.
Data from Meiuan and Dazhong Dianping show that booking volume for accommodation in Zibo during the five-day May Day holiday is 800 percent higher than that in 2019.Local media in Zibo said the number of passengers arriving and departing through Zibo railway station has reached 50,000 a day, setting a record in the past three years, with most of them being tourists who come to taste Zibo barbecue.
The local government has grasped the chance brought by the sudden trend, to attract more tourists. As early as March 10, it has set up prizes for barbecue shops that are popular among tourists, established a barbecue association,and announced the opening of a barbecue festival during the May Day holiday. In order to encourage people to visit the city,Zibo also set up a specially customized "barbecue map", and added 21 new barbecue bus lines, so that tourists can"get on the bus to rest, get off to eat".
"Barbecue and tourism have limited influence on stimulating the economy, But this is an opportunity for more people to get to know Zibo's enthusiasm and business environment, which will attract more investment and create more jobs. This is what really matters," Wang Dazhuang, a local Zibo citizen said.
At present, the biggest problem is that the passenger flow is too big for this city so that many owners of barbecue restaurants are trying to expand their barbecue scale, according to an owner of a barbecue restaurant.

Kindness is regarded as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. We teach children from a young age to "be kind to one another" and "treat others the way you want to be treated". Being kind is even shown to be good for well-being. According to Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone. Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. That said, consider the following question: Could kindness ever be considered harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let's think about this assuming we are in the workplace.
You are a new person on the team, and you want to be well-liked and respected by your co-workers. You're a kind person and tell your team,"Let me know how I can help you; I am always available to help." Though you may truly mean it, there are people in the world who can consider your kindness is weakness unfortunately. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let's fast-forward to a year later, you have been in your position now for one year and you are working with the same team. You notice that your co-workers continue asking for your succor over and over again. In fact, the only time they interact with you is when they need something. You have been always at your co-workers' service and there has rarely been any return from them. Imagine the level of your discouragement you are feeling.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps,pay off. However, you need to be willing to say "no". When people ask you for a favor, asses if you have the time,energy and attention to get to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying "mo" to others and saying "yes" to yourself.
28. Why is Mayo Clinic mentioned
A.To show the positive effects of kindness. B.To explain the reasons for being kind.
C. To stress the importance of kindness. D.To assess the current kindness education.
29. In the workplace, what's the fact that discourages you
A.Your colleagues never interact with you.
B.You work with the same team in the same position for a year.
C.You hardly receive any return for your service from your colleagues.
D.You always fail to serve your colleagues and receive no returns from them.
30.What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph
A. Finding the best way to refuse others.
B. Acknowledging your efforts and sacrifices.
C.Being grateful for others' kind gestures.
D. Being a little more self-focused.
31. What's the test mainly discussing

As a result of the pandemic, a great number of people are or have been working from home. Various studies and surveys have indicated that many would like to continue to do so, even as the threat from COVID-19 fades.Nevertheless, new research conducted in America suggests that in-person teams tend to perform better in creativity at particular tasks than those working through video conferencing(视频会议)software.
The initial study involved 602 participants, who were a signed randomly to pairs. With half of the pairs sitting face-to-face in one room and half using video conferencing software, subjects were asked to come up with novel(新颖的)uses for a product. The researchers found that the in-person teams create a greater number and a wider range of ideas than the virtual teams. But when it came to the ability to pick the best idea rated by comparing the creativity scores of the idea they chose with the scores of those picked by the judges, there was little difference between the two groups.
To make sure the study wasn't specific to any given population group, the tests were then conducted again with 1490engincers working for a large company from five other countries. For the second set of tests, participants were asked to come up with new product ideas for the real-life employer. Using a variety of methods, the researchers found that people in the in person group looked around the room and talked with each anther more, while those using video conferencing software took it in tums to speak and keep their eyes on the screen. These things were negatively connected to idea creation.
"This new research was an important first step, but this is a single study and the effects are somewhat small,amounting to a difference in one or two ideas between the two groups. How much impact this has would depend on the company itself," said Dr. Jay Olson who studies ways to measure creativity.
32.What did the new research show
A. Interaction in-person better contributes to novel ideas.
B.Video conferencing makes creativity likely happen.
C.Home-working surroundings bring about creativity.
D. Relaxing environment leads to great ideas.
33. What aspect did the two groups show little difference
A.The measures to tell the best ideas.
B. The number of best ideas produced.
C.The competence to select the best ideas.
D. The scores obtained in creating ideas.
34. Why was the research conducted again
A.To engage more people in the study. B.To arouse the creativity of the subjects.
C.To make the test more convincing. D.To classify the participants of the study.
35. What did Dr.Jay Olson suggest
A.Conducting more researches. B.Treating the effects critically.
C. Making full use of the findings D.Clarifying the results of the study.

When I was at a glasses shop waiting to pick up my new pair of glasses, a mom as well as her little girl walked in.The mom was probably in her late twenties and the little girl was about five.
Both of their clothes were out of date. It was obvious that the family's financial windfall(意外之财)had not yet arrived. I overheard a comment. The comment made to the saleslady showed that she was in between job 1 and job 2 of the day, so she didn't have a lot of time.
The little girl and the mom proceeded around the store looking at these little tiny glasses for the girl's face. The saleslady was helping them try on glasses and pulling aside her favorites.
You knew how some little kids actually looked ten times cuter in glasses, and so the little girl did. She found these cute little glasses with a butterfly on them. She was so happy, smiling from ear to ear while she looked at herself in the mirror.
The saleslady rang the glasses up on the till(收银台).The mom pulled out a coupon(优惠券),and the saleslady stared blankly at the coupon. She then explained that for some reason this coupon could not be used, pointing out the minuscule(极小的)words printed at the bottom.
Then the mom chatted back and forth for a bit with the saleslady and then finally leaned down to her daughter and explained to her that there would be no glasses that day, maybe nest month she said.
The little girl's eyes started to tear up. The mom leaned a little closer and told her it would he OK and that she needed a little more time to save up for them. The little girl responded,"But Mommy, I can't see and I want to be able to see when I start school next week. I want to do well, Mommy! What if I'm in the back "

【参考范文】
Seeing this,I quietly called the saleslady over. I said to the saleslady it’s terrible for the little girl if she couldn’t get the glasses that she needed very much and I thought they may live a hard life,so I suggested that she either allowed them to use the coupon or let me pay for the glasses. The saleslady chose the latter and explained that she had to obey the store’s rules. I asked her to give me the bill. After looking at it,I started putting my cash on the counter. Seeing this,other customers around me donated their money as well to help the little girl.
The saleslady was so moved. Realizing immediately that she could also do something to help,she went over and bent down next to the little girl,holding the glasses and said,“Do you like them,sweetie ”The little girl fought back her tears and shook her head. The saleslady apologized to the mom,informing her that she had misread the coupon and that there would be no problem using it. The mom carefully took out the fifty dollars she had saved and paid for the glasses. What happened at that time reminded me of one of the famous sayings“Present others roses,leaving fragrance in your hand.”

第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
语篇类型:应用文 主题语境:人与社会——文学。
21.B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“love stories”“unfortunate lovers”等可知,《安娜·卡列尼娜》是关于爱情的。故选B。
22.D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“because of its staying power for children”和倒数第二段的“one of the most widely read children’s classics all over the world”可知,《人行道的尽头》和《小王子》都是儿童读物。故选D。
23.C 本文主要着重介绍的是四本世界名著,属于文学范畴,所以应该出现在报纸中的文化板块。故选C。
B
语篇类型:新闻报道 主题语境:人与社会——社会服务:淄博烧烤店。
24.D 词义猜测题。根据后面对淄博烧烤的描述以及“The experience of making‘Zibo barbecue’offers a sense of participation and leisure time for diners.”可知,不同于其他地方的“撸串”,在淄博烧烤中,每桌都会标配一个小火炉,顾客需要自己再加工烤串。这种体验为食客提供了参与感,因此淄博烧烤为顾客提供了很独特的用餐体验。故选D。
25.B 细节理解题。第二段第一句的“五一”五天假期期间淄博的住宿预订量比2019年增长了800%;以及第二句的每天通过淄博火车站进出站的旅客人数已达到5万人次,创下了过去三年来的最高纪录。作者意在用这些数据表明淄博烧烤带火了淄博这座城市的旅游业。故选B。
26.A 段落大意题。根据第三段第一句的“to attract more tourists”以及后文的成立烧烤协会、发布烧烤地图、举办烧烤节庆活动、新增21条定制烧烤公交专线等可知,该段主要描述了淄博是如何抓住这次机遇发展该市旅游业的。故选A。
27.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中市民Wang Dazhuang所说的话可知,该市民认为,这是一个让更多人了解淄博热情和商业环境的机会,这将吸引更多投资,创造更多就业机会。由此推断,他对淄博烧烤的爆火持积极态度。
C
语篇类型:议论文 主题语境:人与自我——做人与做事。
【语篇导读】本文讲述了真正的善良并不是一味地满足他人的要求,要学会拒绝。
28.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Being kind is even shown to be good for well-being.”可知,善良甚至被证明对健康有益,紧接着作者陈述了Mayo Clinic的观点,即当我们做善事时,大脑的愉快中枢被激活,释放出减压激素,定期做志愿者的人对生活的满意度更高,由此可知作者提及Mayo Clinic是为了说明善良的积极影响。
29.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子“You have been always at your co-workers’ service and there has rarely been any return from them.”进行转述,得出答案。
30.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“you need to be willing to say‘no’”“sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying‘no’to others and say‘yes’to yourself”可知你所需要的是说“不”当有人向你寻求帮助时,评估一下你是否有时间精力和注意力来帮助他们。要做到真正的善良,有时你需要更自如地对别人说“不”,对自己说“是”。由此可知,作者给出的建议是要注重自我一些,故选D。
31.C 理解主旨要义题。议论文写作目的主要在于说理,提出问题,分析问题,得出结论。根据文章首段发出的提问,“当善良有如此明显的好处的时候,它会被认为对我们有害吗?”作者以职场为例子,对这一问题进行阐释和论述,最终给出自己的建议。所以这一问题就是贯穿全文的线索。由此可知,本文主要讨论的是:善良是否对我们有害。故选C。
