Today we were looking after our two nieces. They started screaming in the room where they were playing while my husband and I cooked lunch. We quickly ran to see what happened and there was a small scorpion (蝎子) that somehow got into the house.
My husband picked up the scorpion before it had a chance to get away. As he was catching the scorpion, the elder niece Alice said that it was good that he was there because “girls can’t deal with that thing”.
My husband asked her who told her that. Alice just shrugged (耸肩)and said,“Everyone knows girls are afraid of bugs (虫子).” So my husband called her over and told her, “You never have to be afraid of anything because you’re a girl. You’re just as good as boys. When you saw this scorpion, you called me and your aunt here. You recognized there was something that could hurt you. So you got help. I’m proud of you for letting adults know about something that was a danger to you. You’re very smart.”
He held the scorpion’s tail, adding, “As you grow up, people are always going to try to tell you what you can and can’t do, but you can do anything if you put your effort into it. There’re women that work with bugs for their jobs and study them.” She got so excited at the thought of woman being able to do things a man can do.
At this point her little sister Lisa came towards them. So my husband sat there and explained the different parts of the scorpion, completely firing their imagination. Alice asked if she could hold it. Then my husband put it on her hands. She was so proud of herself that she talked about it until she went to sleep.

You may have heard about Amadeus Mozart, a classical composer from the 18th century. But have you ever heard about the Mozart effect
The Mozart effect first came to be known to the public in 1993. A study published in the journal Science found that children who listened to Mozart’s music, for ten minutes showed a clear improvement in spatial (空间的) reasoning tests than those who listened to other sounds that can help people relax. Another study also examined the long-term effects of Mozart on the brains of kids. A group of 3- to 4-yeard-old kids were given music lessons for six months. After the lessons, the performance of the kids on a spatial reasoning test saw 30 percent improvement as compared to children who undertook other training or no training at all for that long.
As a result of these studies, the popularity of Mozart’s music has grown. Some schools in the US started to play Mozart to children, and it even led the southern state of Georgia to provide babies with free Mozart CDs. And the findings further showed the importance of music in the cognitive development of children.
Now we know the Mozart effect shows playing Mozart benefits brain development. But how does that happen The classical music pathways in the brain and the neural (神经的) trails we use for spatial reasoning are quite alike. When we listen to classical music or learn to play this kind of music, especially Mozart’s music, the spatial pathways in the brain are stimulated (刺激) and prepared for use. This makes the mind more active, leading to more intelligence.
As parents, you do not need to wait until your kid is in primary school to start music lessons. Most children between the age of four and five are ready to start learning the basics of music. Early intervention (干预) can help your baby grow into a smart adult, besides improving his or her academic performance and life skills.
28.What can we learn about children listening to Mozart’s music
A.They show great interest in creating music. B.They could perform spatial tasks better.
C.They find his music difficult to understand. D.They could hold their attention much longer.
29.The author introduces the Mozart effect mainly by ________.
A.explaining data B.stating arguments
C.providing research results D.analyzing experts’ words
30.Why is classical music beneficial to brain development
A.It makes the mind calm and clear.
B.It fixed some damage to neural trails.
C.It helps awaken some hidden memories.
D.It causes the brain’s spatial pathways to start to work.
31.What are parents advised to do to help their children be smart adults
A.Train children to form good learning habits.
B.Develop an interest in music themselves.
C.Perform music with children as much as possible.
D.Get children to start music lessons early on.

On Saturday night, a five-person team of the Chinese e-sports club, with the full name EDward Gaming, won the 2021 League of Legends World Championship in Reykjavik , Iceland , beating defending champion Damwon KIA (DK) from South Korea. The live streaming of the championship had over 200 million viewers on two major domestic smartphone apps and other channels.
The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world. At the beginning of the championship, the members of EDG and other staff displayed tai chi, martial arts and traditional Chinese costumes in Reykjavik, launching a “Chinese hurricane” in the Icelandic capital. Now the posting of photos and videos on social networks have spread that hurricane to the whole world.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are of the hottest. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world.
Also e-sports appeal most to those in their early 20s, as shown by the carnival of college students on Saturday night. That in turn makes them a good bridge of communication between Chinese youngsters and their counterparts (同行) around the world. More importantly, the e-sports industry is sustainable (可持续的) in spreading Chinese culture, as the large audiences mean huge commercial potential. In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in turn created over 10 million jobs.
As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. Both show the strong policy support being given to e-sports.
With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.
32.What can we know from the news report
A.E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.
B.The number of the viewers around the world reached over 200 million.
C.There was a severe hurricane in Reykjavik, Iceland on Saturday night.
D.EDward Gaming has won the LoL World Championship twice on end.
33.What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate
A.E-sports appealed to people of all ages.
B.2020 witnessed a turning point of e-sports.
C.E-sports gave birth to many new companies.
D.E-sports boosted economic development.
34.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph
A.The first international E-sports centre was built in 2019.
B.E-sports enjoyed great popularity in Hainan and Zhejiang.
C.E-sports received official support from the authorities.
D.E-sports were first listed as events in the Asian Games.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards the e-sports industry
A.Doubtful. B.Critical. C.Positive. D.Cautious.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
New Year’s resolutions you should be making about time management
You likely already have too many goals and too many disappointments from this past year. So as you look ahead to 2020, the idea of adding more seems kind of exciting but also a bit forbidding. That’s why as a time management coach, I recommend that you do the opposite: 36
Know less
It’s okay not to be up-to-date on everything. To cut down on these distractions, you might turn off social media notifications on your phone. 37 Unsubscribe from notification emails or newsletters you don’t read regularly.
Resolution: I resolve to be less aware of “interesting” things so I can be interested in and present for the people around me.
Care less
This one may sound a bit unfeeling.You may want to be a kind and thoughtful person for your friends and family and to serve your clients well. 38 What that means is that you say “No” a lot.
Here is a way:
I am at the service of my customers Monday through Friday, during the day. 39 Being able to unplug from work in my personal time increases my ability to serve my clients well when I’m in the office.
Resolution: 40 Consequently, I can match my time with my highest priorities and take better care of the people closest to me.
Is it easy to do less No. But will it lead you to the best outcomes in the end Yes. You’ll thank yourself for it at the end of 2020.
A.Resolve to do less.
B.Contact people face to face.
C.I have to manage my time strategically.
D.But I don’t feel the need to be available 24/7.
E.Alternatively, you could offload the apps altogether.
F.I resolve to care less about what others want me to do.
G.But you can’t care about everyone who wants your attention professionally.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式,并将答案转写到答题卡上。
Recently, Chinese people from all walks of life 56 (discover)their daily lives are filled with an academic term; involution(内卷). In agricultural economics, involution originally means that 57 (add) work is put into agricultural production for higher output, 58 yet doesn’t increase proportionally(成比例地).
Our society is becoming increasingly competitive when population outgrows resources. Accordingly, 59 we used to achieve easily requires more efforts now. The level of competition we have in our society is often compared to millions of troops 60 (cross) a single wooden bridge. The 61 (major) of us are trying hard to get ahead of the troops.
Netizens now use involution to describe their current conditions, especially in the study of children. Parents feel stressed 62 (provide) their children with the best, and children must keep 63 in the race. Though great efforts have been made, they find it much 64 (hard) to go to the schools that they have been looking forward to.
Too much pressure is bound to do harm to children physically and mentally. Parents should cool down firstly and relieve their own anxiety, taking 65 (measure) to rid their children of heavy burden from involution.

67.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。
On Friday the 13th of March, my six-year-old son Jack came home with a huge packet of worksheets in his schoolbag. Soon after, I received the email I had feared was coming-Jack’s school would be closed for at least the next two weeks. The COVID-19 quarantine (隔离期) had begun. At least now I would know he was safe at home. I spent the weekend gathering supplies such as pencils, crayons and paper and setting up a classroom on my dining room table.
On the first day of what was referred to as "distance learning", I realized I was being overly optimistic, and I only had one child to teach. He suffers from hearing loss and wears hearing aids. In school, he receives special services from a teacher of the deaf, a speech therapist (治疗专家),an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. In addition to his major classes, there was also his music class, art class, computer education, the library, and physical education. I was suddenly ten teachers all at the same time, and the work began piling up!
Although my job as a freelance (自由职业的) writer allows me to work according to my own schedule, I would normally work when Jack was at school. Now that time was taken up with school days at home. This meant I was teaching for most of the day and then working as a writer all afternoon into the evening. Many days didn’t stop until bedtime, and then we were right back at it the next morning. This was the new normal and it was stressful. More than once, I found myself feeling angry for no particular reason. On one occasion. I shouted angrily at my printer simply because it wouldn’t work properly.
One day, I was helping Jack with a short journal. As part of his class worksheets, he was required to write and draw about the interesting things that happened at home. I secretly cheered at the opportunity to apply my professional skills to my son’s education.
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。
I told him all the things I knew about story writing.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank.

66.One possible version:
Dear Jerry,
How are you I intend to travel to Shanghai during the winter vacation. I am writing to invite you to go with me.
According to my plan, I will stay in Shanghai for a whole week to enjoy the beautiful city scenery. I plan to make my way to the Bund where you can have a good view of the Oriental Pearl Tower. I also decide to visit the Disneyland, which is a must for visitors.
I know it will be pleasant to travel with you. Whatever your decision is, please let me know. Looking forward to your early reply.
67.I told him all the things I knew about story writing. I sorted out a few magazines with my articles and read to him in a loud and clear voice. I even acted out some of the stories. However, Jack didn’t seem to pay much attention. Turning the crayon over in his hand, he looked at me, then at the blank piece of paper. I remembered how I enjoyed the quiet afternoons typing away on my laptop and thought he might need space to build up his story. I told Jack he could start writing and left him to get on with it.
After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank. Stress and impatience burned in my stomach, I knocked heavily on the dining room table and was ready to lecture him on how to be a good student. Instead, Jack raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. “I’m scared, Mom,” he sobbed. “You are always angry.” I was speechless. Thinking about the past two weeks, I realized what a horrible teacher I had been I told Jack we could take an afternoon off. The journal could wait until we filled the day with some happy memories.

Text2:
M: Where did you and John go on vacation
W: We spent four days in Vienna, one week in Paris, and five days in Rome and we had a two-day delay in Geneva before we went to Italy.
Text3:
W: What a strange suit you are wearing! Your jacket doesn’t match your trousers.
M: I know. I got dressed in the dark, and I didn’t realise it until I got to the party.
Text4:
W: Tom, after I finish my work here at school, I’m going to the park.
M: OK, but I’m just going to stay at home.

W: I’ll print you the new ID card in about a minute.
Text6:
M: Lucy, do you want to come for a picnic in the park this Saturday
W: Oh, I’m sorry, but I’m going to see my grandparents. They live far away from my home.
We could go on Sunday, though.

Saturday morning.

W: She’s too busy with the wedding arrangements, and Dad doesn’t know much about clothes.
M: OK, then I will go with you. I’d like a light blue one.

W: Well, I’m calling about the theatre group. I belong to the Princeton Players.We’re looking for more people to join, especially men, and I thought that you might be interested.
M: Oh! You know how much I love acting, but I’m taking some very hard courses. I might be able to learn my part, but I would hardly have time to come to the rehearsals.

Text10:
M: Grandma Moses is among the most well-known 20th-century painters of the United States, yet she had hardly started painting before she was in her late seventies. She was born on a farm in New York, one of five boys and five girls. At 12, she left home and worked as a housekeeper until she married Thomas Moses at 27. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York. Grandma Moses began to paint using oils in her old age because she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market, and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of those pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940, she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death, she produced some 1, 600 pictures.
