Watch actor Sterling K. Brown, and one of the first things you may notice is his eyes.
In a scene from the last season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Brown plays Reggie, a hard-nosed manager. His language is rough, but his eyes reveal something more: He's feeling guilty and defensive. Or look at his work in NBC's hit drama series This Is Us, where Brown plays Randall Pearson, a black man adopted by a white family. Again, Brown's eyes reveal a lot.
Those two performances have allowed Brown to make Emmy Awards history in 2020: He was nominated as best lead actor in a drama series for This Is Us and best supporting actor in a comedy series for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon's Prime Video.
Grateful as he is for his nominations, Brown also sees the record number of black performers nominated for Emmys—about 34% of the acting nominees in 2020—as a welcome reaction to the Black Lives Matter protests of the summer.
The actor says it's also part of a long march towards recognition for black performers, held back by oppression in Hollywood back to the early 1900s, when white people wore blackface to play black characters in films.
Brown has made history at awards shows before: In 2018, he became the first black man to win best actor in a drama at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
With degrees from Stanford University and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Brown has spent about two decades appearing on TV shows like Lifetime's Army Wives and his first series regular role, playing a cop on FX's short-lived 2005 drama Starved.
These days Brown is excited about the new season of This Is Us, which will begin with two episodes addressing both the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests.
1.Why does the author mention the TV series in Paragraph 2
A.To indicate that Brown is an excellent actor.
B.To support the idea that Brown is an eye actor.
C.To show that Brown has played many roles.
D.To introduce the main topic of the passage.
2.What do we know about Emmy Awards 2020
A.Brown was awarded two acting prizes. B.Civil rights weren't recognised.
C.More black performers got nominated. D.Black Lives Matter was the theme.
3.What does the author intend to do in Paragraphs 6 and 7
A.Add some background information. B.List Brown's acting experiences.
C.Introduce a new topic for discussion. D.Summarise the previous paragraphs.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Emmy Awards 2020 B.Fight for Civil Rights
C.A Black Emmy Awards Nominee D.Brown: An Eye Actor

A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber in his nostril, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "What's the matter with me " he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."
This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It reflects Britain's famous dry and satirical way of seeing the funny side of life. This unique sense of humour is often cited as one of Britain's representative national characteristics.
"The famous British sense of humour has long been our most cherished national characteristic," says the British journalist Leo McKinstry. "We have valued it above historic military victories and great works of literature, above our rich scenic landscape and our talent for invention."
The British sense of humour differs from that of other countries because it is generally more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more effective than a socially inappropriate joke.
Popular British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and The Office are full of sarcasm(讽刺), teasing and self-deprecation(自嘲). It reflects the culture where mocking, moaning and ridicule are part of everyday life.
While most British don't take these jokes too seriously, foreigners are often puzzled by them. A recent survey showed that most foreigners who visited Britain found that the British are "arrogant, unfriendly and have almost no sense of humour".
Do foreigners not understand British humour or are the British just not as funny as they think they are McKinstry certainly thinks the British are funny. "Accusing the British of having no sense of humour is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are downmarket," he says.
1.What does the doctor actually mean by the remark "You're not eating properly."
A.What you have had is the cause of these problems.
B.You are not having the right food.
C.You don't eat the way people usually do.
D.You eat with the wrong cutlery(餐具).
2.What does the underlined word "dry" mean in Paragraph 2
A.Without water or liquid inside. B.Special and popular among schoolchildren.
C.Dull and meaningless. D.Pretending to be serious when really joking.
3.Why do most foreign visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly
A.The British always take things seriously.
B.The British have no sense of humour.
C.The British are cold and difficult to get along with.
D.The British have a different sense of humour.
4.Which of the following are NOT the characteristics of British humour
A.Dry and satirical. B.Negative and mocking.
C.Encouraging and gentle. D.Clever and witty.
D
Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills.
Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents' income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.
"The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes," Levine said in a statement.
The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.
The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science.
1.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play
A.Building confidence. B.Developing spatial skills.
C.Learning self-control. D.Gaining high-tech knowledge.
2.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment
A.Parents' age. B.Children's imagination.
C.Parents' education. D.Child-parent relationship.
3.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play
A.They play with puzzles more often. B.They tend to talk less during the game.
C.They prefer to use more spatial language. D.They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.A mathematical method. B.A scientific study.
C.A woman psychologist. D.A teaching program.

When you go to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adjust to the new surroundings, which is usually called "culture shock".
The psychological and physical symptoms of culture shock may appear depending on individuals. Some often feel anxious while adjusting to a new culture—even more so when the cultural distance is wide. ①_____ They remain homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends at home that they long to return, especially within the first year.
②_____ People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely because the language barrier makes it hard to create new relationships. Furthermore, having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to interact with other people.
③_____ You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history, customs, and religious beliefs, rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours. Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. ④_____
A local club provides the perfect environment to get to know people who have a similar focus, so join one so that you can meet some locals and develop new friendships. ⑤_____ There are other travellers who have the same experiences in a foreign country.

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。
The moon was hanging low in the South Carolina sky as Misha finished loading her truck. Then she led Gandalf to his cage in the back. It was 3 a. m. on Tuesday March 20. Misha's husband Chuck came out to see her off. "Don't expect to go up there and find that lost boy in the woods, because it's just not going to happen," Chuck said. As a retired firefighter, he had seen more incredible things than a kid surviving three cold nights in the mountains, but he didn't want his wife to be disappointed in herself or her dog.
Three days earlier, 12-year-old Michael disappeared suddenly from his troop's campsite in Doughton Park. A massive search party had been sent out to find the boy that had been missing in the woods for three days, but there was barely a trace of the boy. They were about to lose hope when one dog named Gandalf, stepped in.
Misha and Gandalf, her two-year-old dog, had trained for a year with the South Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association. But this was their first real job. Doughton Park was located in a bowl on the side of a mountain. It was covered with heavy forest, where slippery moss (苔藓) and waterfall spray threatened one's footing and thundering streams could drown out a child's cry for help.
Misha and her teammates arrived at the staging area around 7 a. m. on Tuesday, day four. The wind was coming toward them then around the shoulder of a cliff (悬崖). Gandalf was about 30 yards ahead, working on the bank of the stream where it turned beneath a wall of rock. Misha saw him quickly lift his head. Was that the sign she'd been waiting for Gandalf ran to the left, which was out of sight behind the cliff face. Misha tried to climb up the track behind him.
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。
All of a sudden came the bark of Gandalf. _____________________________________

④句意为: 研究人员还发现, 酒精通常能帮助她们说出秘密。分析句子结构可知, 设空处是宾语从句的谓语动词, 虽然主句为一般过去时, 但因宾语从句表达的是客观存在的事实, 所以需要用一般现在时, 且主语alcohol为不可数名词, 谓语动词需要用第三人称单数形式。故填gives。

⑦句意为: 四分之三的人说她们能够保守秘密, 83%的人认为她们在每个朋友圈子里100%可信。设空处所在分句的主语的动作对象就是主语自身, 需要用they的反身代词themselves作动词宾语。故填themselves。
⑧句意为: 隐私问题是最重要的保密问题, 女孩们倾向于面对面、通电话或发短信分享秘密。此处为with的复合结构作状语。故填with。
⑨句意为: 幸运的是, 27%的人说她们第二天就忘记了被告知的事情。此处应用副词, 修饰整句话, 故设空处应用fortunate的副词形式, 作状语, 且此处位于句首, 首字母应大写。故填Fortunately。
⑩句意见上一题解析。设空处应为宾语从句的引导词, 宾语从句中缺少宾语, 应用what引导宾语从句, 意为"所......的事"。故填what。

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I've heard that a broadcaster who can speak English is wanted, which appeals to me very much. Here is my introduction.
First of all, I've learned broadcasting as a hobby, which I think will help me to handle the job well. What's more, two years' experiences in England give me the chance to better my spoken English. Being energetic and responsible, I believe I am capable of dealing with the tasks in the job. At last, I hope I can make great progress and improve myself through the job.
I would really appreciate it if you can give me the chance. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
All of a sudden came the bark of Gandalf. When Misha heard that, she immediately climbed over the track and looked around. At first, she saw Gandalf was walking back and forth around a rock. Misha went over and saw Michael, who got injured. His right leg was trapped under a stone. He looked weak and unconscious. Then Misha immediately called on her teammates to save Michael. They removed the stone on Michael's leg and sent him to the nearest hospital.
As it turned out, Michael's experience was tough. After treatment, he came around. Then he told them what had happened to him in the forest. A few days ago, he was playing around the campsite when he saw a beautiful butterfly flying around. He tried to catch the butterfly and chased after it, only to find he was lost. He slipped and his right leg was trapped under the stone when he was looking for his way back. Fortunately, it was Gandalf, Misha, and Misha's teammates who saved him. He said he would appreciate that forever.
