书面表达1：
Dear Sir/Madam,
Knowing that you are in need of student journalists for the coming Hangzhou Asian Games, I’m writing to apply for the post.
I have a good command of English, which will surely help me communicate with foreigners. In addition, I enjoy cooperating with others and am easy to get along with. More importantly, I once worked as a reporter for the International Sports Games, making me exceptionally qualified for the job.
I would appreciate it if my application could be considered and I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
书面表达2：
The woman took my hand and pressed something into my palm before closing my hand into a fist. “Merry Christmas”, she whispered in my ear, and then disappeared into the night. I was so shocked that it took me a minute to open my hand, but when I did, I gasped. I couldn’t believe it. The woman had given me two one-hundred-dollar bills. What really mattered the most to me wasn’t the money, but that I had come across someone special, someone who really cared.
When we arrived home there was a white car I didn’t recognize in front of our house. A stranger stood on the porch ringing the doorbell. It turned out that she had found my lost purse in a shopping cart and taken trouble to return it to me with the help of the address on my driving license in the purse. Holding the purse, I was moved to tears. This Christmas was a little sad because of Jake’s illness. It was also a little special, however, thanks to the two angels, each offering kindness to a crazy woman with a sick dog, which was the best gift I received. I’ve made up my mind to follow their example and pass the kindness forward.

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbor, we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe, and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
24. The author says “I’m so glad I did.” in Para.2 because __________.
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales D. he spent the weekend with his family
25. The harbour survived the storm owing to _________.
A. the shape of the harbour B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel D. the long coastline
26. The mother whale failed to help her baby because _________.
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
27. What is the theme of the story
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D. It’s vital to protect the environment.
C
Erin Alexander was having a hard day. A waitress working at Starbucks was too. Erin ordered an iced green tea and told the waitress to cheer up. After picking up the order, she noticed a message on the cup: “Erin, your soul is golden.” Erin Alexander recalled the incident, “Of course, I was still really sad, but that little thing made the rest of my day.”
New findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in August, prove just how powerful experiences like Erin’s can be. Researchers found that people who perform a random act of kindness tend to underestimate how much the recipient will appreciate it. And they believe that miscalculation could hold many of us back from doing nice things for others more often.
A recent experiment recruited 84 participants at an ice skating rink in Chicago, where they were given a hot chocolate and asked to keep it or give it to a stranger as an act of kindness. The 75 participants who gave away their hot chocolate were asked to predict how the recipient would feel on a scale from 0 (very small) to 10 (very large), and the recipients were then asked to report their actual feelings on the same scales.
In that experiment, the people doing the kind thing consistently underestimated the appreciation they received, according to Amit Kumar, a psychology professor at the University of Texas. “People tend to think that what they are giving is kind of little, maybe it’s relatively inconsequential,” Dr. Kumar said. “But recipients are less likely to think along those lines. They consider the gesture to be significantly more meaningful because they are also thinking about the fact that someone did something nice for them.” Dr. Kumar continued, “With an experiment like this, I hope it will inspire more people to actually commit random acts of kindness.”
28. What’s the function of Para.1
A. To present a fact. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To describe a scene. D. To explain an opinion.
29. What can we learn about the experiment
A. All participants gave away their hot chocolate.
B. Recipients received kind gestures from their friends.
C. Recipients showed more appreciation than givers thought.
D. Participants reported their feelings on a scale from 0 to 10.
30. What does the underlined word “inconsequential” in Para.4 mean
A. Insignificant. B. Essential. C. Beneficial. D. Unbelievable.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Small Acts of Kindness. B. The Magic of Receivers’ Appreciation.
C. The Importance of Appreciating Kindness. D. The Impact of a Simple Message on a Cup.
D
“My P.E. teacher taught me maths.” It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the head-teacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students ” But there were still parents who believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.
This concern is actually a “subject prejudice”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.
Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students’ P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.
At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.
In terms of high school entrance examination, Guangzhou will launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.
In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.
We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.
32. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths” in Para.1, what does the author intend to show us
It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.
P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.
P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths.
People doubt the ability of P.E. teachers.
33. We can infer from Para. 2 that a P.E. teacher .
A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performance
B. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachers
C. reflects whether the school cares about the class
D. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system
34. Why do independent enrollments add P.E. test to their entrance exams
A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.
B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.
C. To test the academic ability of high school students.
D. To make P.E. teachers equal with other teachers.
35. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers
A. Neutral. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Critical.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
Years of observing people at college and at work have led us to discover some specific reasons why many people are unable to learn quickly and efficiently. 36 :
Struggle to Start Learning Something From Scratch
As you’ve probably experienced yourself, sometimes when wanting to learn something new, 37 . For example, you might have wanted to learn how to play chess, but didn’t know the best way to start this. So you tried learning from multiple sources at the same time: books, videos, friends and family members. The problem with this scattered approach is that you will find it hard to focus and you’ll unavoidably be given conflicting advice ― which is unhelpful when you’re starting out.
38
Think back for a moment to when you were at school. I’m sure there were endless times when you were taught things by teachers only for you to forget the information within weeks, days or even minutes! And of course, 39 . How many times have you been in meetings where important things have been said only for half the attendees to forget the details soon after the meeting concluded
Struggle to Put What You’ve Learned Into Practice
40 . They spend all their time learning theory, but never put anything into practice. For example, consider for a moment how people learn to ride a bicycle. In most cases, a parent or elder sibling would tell you the steps you need to take to successfully get on and begin riding a bike. However, it’s only when you attempt to ride a bike for the first time that the real learning begins!
A. Struggle to Continue Your Learning
B. Struggle to Recall What You’ve Learned
C. you find yourself not knowing where to start
D. Here are some tips for you to overcome learning blockers
E. this problem continues from education into the workplace
F. See if you can spot yourself in any or all of these learning blockers
G. This is one of the most common reasons for people failing to learn new things

It was a tradition that my sons, their wives, and our grandchildren would spend Christmas Day at our house. So we loaded Jake, our first pet dog, who was diagnosed（诊断为）with cancer, in the back seat of my car, setting out to buy the things at dusk.
Our first stop was at the dollar store to pick up wrapping paper and decorations. As we approached the cashier desk, my husband said, “I’ll be out in the car with Jake.” He returned a few minutes later. “Do you have the car keys ”
“No,” I responded. I searched the passages (通道) in vain before leaving the store as fast as I could. When I got back to the car, my husband was starting the engine. He told me it was our dog Jake that found the car keys. We drove to the grocery store. As we got out of the car, I reached down for my purse and fear stole into me as I realized it wasn’t there. “Wait,” I cried to my husband. “My purse. I think I must have left it in the cart at the dollar store.”
My husband didn’t say anything as we both climbed back in the car. Fifteen minutes later we returned to find another car now at the spot where we had previously parked. The cart was still there, but it was empty. I jumped out of the car and began searching the bushes. It didn’t take long to realize my efforts were useless. My purse was gone. I started to cry.
“Are you alright Ma’am ” a woman about my age asked. I hadn’t even noticed her approach me.
“I lost my purse in the dollar store. Left it in the cart,” I stammered (结结巴巴地). “I had over two hundred dollars in it. Even if we find it, it’ll probably be empty,” I said sadly.
“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. There are still some good people in the world,” she responded. “Your purse still may show up.”
