You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
3. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去100年中几位杰出女性,赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。她通过为有需要的人建立庇护所和促进教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。)”可知,Jane Addams因为推动了社会工作的发展在历史上出名。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的 “When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. (1952年,当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性,也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years (你可能知道Marie Curie是谁,但你可能没有听说过Rachel Carson。在下面列出的杰出女性中,你认为谁是过去100年中最重要的女性?)”可知本文介绍了过去100年里的几位杰出女性;由“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. …In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。…… 1931年,Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性。)”可知,Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展,帮助穷人,为和平而努力,成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性;由“Rachel Carson (1907-1964)”下文介绍中的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. (如果没有Rachel Carson,今天的环保运动可能就不会存在。她1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》让人们意识到污染的危险,以及化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的有害影响。)”可知,Rachel Carson推动环保运动的发展,让人们意识到污染的危险;由“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的“She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. (她成为亚利桑那州参议员,并于1981年成为美国最高法院的第一位女性法官。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor是美国最高法院的第一位女性法官;由“Rosa Parks (1913-2005)”下文介绍中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. (但它也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。)”可知,Rosa Parks因为不愿在公共汽车上给一位乘客让座而入狱,这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动,拉开了民权运动的序幕;由此可知,文章中所列出的这些女性都是某些行业或运动的先驱者。故选C项。
B
I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports. Different from my father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that" There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"
As an adult, my teenage tendencies of exaggeration(夸张) may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for many girls, boys, men and women everywhere. Others are feeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.
But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support, love and laughter in these times. So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times, making valuable monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation(隔离), people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active. Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.
So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.
4. What may the author's father agree about sports
A. It is a personal hobby. B. It boosts confidence.
C. It affects social relations. D. It helps avoid wars.
5. How does life without sports affect people
A. They lack family connection. B. They have lost their hobbies.
C. They feel bored more than lonely. D. They suffer both in body and mind.
6. How do isolated people respond to the tough situations
A. Struggle to be athletes. B. Try to stay physically active.
C. Make donations to good causes. D. Design new sports programmes.
7. What is the best title
A. Sports reduces risks in our lives B. Sports continues to offer strength
C. Sports makes the impossible possible D. Sports has new functions in the pandemic
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述疫情时期,运动形式的变化,并继续为我们提供力量。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Different from my father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that" There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"(与爸爸不同,我拥有着十几岁孩子的过分自信,声称运动不仅仅是保持我们身体健康的爱好。甚至说“如果没有运动,将会有更多战争”)”可知,我与父亲观点不同,认为运动不仅仅是一项个人爱好。所以可推测父亲认为运动是个人爱好,故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical.(对于很多人来说,社会情感的影响比身体的影响更大。)”及“Others are feeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.(另一些人则感到身体上的挑战,他们也努力在这些时候保持活跃。)”可知,没有运动的生活会从身体和情感两方面影响人的身心,故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even in areas of isolation(隔离), people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active.(即使在隔离地区,人们会来到阳台上,通过一个锻炼方案,带领并帮助他们的邻居们保持活跃。)”可知,在这种艰难的时期,隔离的人努力保持身体上的活跃,故选B项。
【7题详解】
标题判断题。根据第三段“But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role.(但在艰难的情况下,人类很不可思议并且适应性很强,运动再一次发挥了作用。)”及最后一段“So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.(因此,在像这样充满挑战的时代,人们仍然有能力继续他们的运动旅程,保持强壮和健康。)”可知,文章主要讲述在疫情时期,运动继续为我们提供力量,故选B项。
C
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》)does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers(修复者)of relics and antiquities(古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(工艺)in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance(忍耐), loneliness…All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Oing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
8. According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A. To show people how antiques are restored
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers
9. What can we learn from what Wang Lin says in paragraph4
A. He often gets tired with his work B. There is no need to do restoration work fast
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration
10. What does the underlined word “humdrum” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Boring B. Different C. Relaxing D. Unusual
11. What is the purpose of the bicyle-riding scene in the documentary
A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,介绍了纪录片《我在故宫修文物》所反映出的中国古董修复师的工匠精神。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec.16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers of relics and antiquities.”(取而代之的是,这部纪录片于12月16日在中国电影院上映,重点关注的是普通人——文物和古物的修复者。)可知,纪录片《我在故宫修文物》的主要目的是让人们关注中国古董修复师的生活。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.”(然而,在一个一切都在快速变化的社会中,这些修复师的耐心和内心的平静尤为宝贵。)可知,从第四段中王林的话中可知,古董修复师需要耐心和平和。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句和第二句“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet”(如果你选择这份工作,你必须坐在椅子上工作数小时。你需要安静,习惯于安静)可知,古董修复师的工作需要长时间安静地坐着。根据第五段倒第二句 “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness…”(追求严谨和完美,致力于工作,耐心,忍耐,孤独……)可知,古董修复师的工作需要耐心和忍耐,是很孤独的。所以古董修复师的工作是枯燥无聊的,humdrum意为 “枯燥无聊的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.”(《我在故宫修文物》证明了许多人关于古董修复者的想法是错误的,这让他们意识到他们不是老而乏味的教授,而是40多岁、30多岁甚至20多岁的人,他们可以非常讨人喜欢。)可知,纪录片中骑行场景的目的是为了表明这部纪录片打破了古董修复者陈旧呆板的形象。故选D。
D
Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of “tonic food”.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
12. What is the present situation of tonic food
A. It is catching less attention. B. It is enjoyed by many young people.
C. It is well-known worldwide. D. It is becoming increasingly popular.
13. What is believed to benefit new mothers
A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea.
C. Sesame oil hot pot. D. Fish soup.
14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3
A. Medicine B. Restaurant.
C. Manufacture. D. Agriculture.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B. The Popularity of Tonic Food
C. An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food
D. Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了中国的补品为了增进健康或避免疾病而吃的食物,并列举了有关补品的几个例子来说明补品对身体的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第一段最后一句But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of “tonic food”.可知补品正越来越被东方年轻人所忽视,即补品的现状是越来越不被注意,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。第二段第二句For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth.过去的习俗是,新妈妈生完孩子后的第一个月每天都要吃麻油火锅。可知麻油火锅对于新妈妈有好处。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu可知许多餐馆的菜单上都有枸杞等中草药,即可推理为了健康的饮食,补品也在影响着餐饮行业。故可推理划线部分单词意思为“餐厅”,故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of “tonic food”.以及文章主要内容为介绍正日益被东方年轻人所忽视的中国的补品,故选C。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Helping people is the backbone of a healthy society.(帮助他人是健康社会的支柱)”以及后文“This statement is true and the following are some of the major benefits of assisting other people.(这个说法是正确的,以下是帮助他人的一些主要好处)”可知,上文提到了帮助他人的行为,后文则提到这种说法是正确的,可知本句是在说明后文提到的说法是什么。故D选项“人们认为帮助别人基本上就是帮助自己”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Researchers have done lots of work to prove that helping others does have a great effect on a person’s happiness. Even though we usually feel the urge to compete with other people, taking time to assist others can be very beneficial to us. The key to internal joy and happiness is simply helping those in need.(研究人员做了大量的工作来证明帮助他人确实对一个人的幸福有很大的影响。尽管我们通常都有和别人竞争的冲动,但花时间帮助别人对我们来说是非常有益的。内心快乐和幸福的关键就是帮助那些需要帮助的人)”可知,后文提到研究证明帮助他人可以给人带来幸福,故本段说明的帮助别人的好处是:增加幸福感。故A选项“增加幸福感”符合语境,故选A。

根据上文“When people see that you have genuine intentions of assisting them, it is likely they are going to be very grateful.(当人们看到你真心诚意地帮助他们时,他们很可能会非常感激你)”可知,上文提到人们会感激真心诚意帮助他们的人,故本句与上文构成因果关系,说明这种行为会对自己产生的影响。故E选项“因此,他们会认为你是一个有爱心的人,并开始信任你”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Improve the community. The mentality of helping people is increasing in popularity since more people have realized that we do not need to fight for survival.

【20题详解】
根据上文“Helping other people is important as it helps to connect many people together.(帮助他人很重要,因为它有助于把许多人联系在一起)”可知,上文提到帮助他人可以把许多人联系在一起,故本句承接上文继续说明是如何联系在一起的,以及这种联系的作用,G选项中“come together”和空前的“connect many people together”相照应。故G选项“那些提供帮助和得到帮助的人走到一起,互相激励”符合语境,故选G。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:英国著名物理学家Stephen Hawking于2018年3月14日去世,享年76岁,他的智力天赋和身体残疾使他成为全球家喻户晓的人物和灵感来源。分析句子可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Stephen Hawking,关系代词whose,引导定语从句,意为“某个(些)人的;他(她、它、他们)的”,在句中作定语修饰名词词组mental genius and physical disability,符合句意和语法。故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在1988年出版的《时间简史》一书的推动下,Hawking成为了超级巨星,这本书好像不太可能成为全球畅销书,他致力于揭开宇宙的秘密。空格后可数名词单数bestseller为单数概念,应用不定冠词限定,因所连接的形容词unlike发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:在1988年出版的《时间简史》一书的推动下,Hawking成为了超级巨星,这本书好像不太可能成为全球畅销书,他致力于揭开宇宙的秘密。分析句子可知,主语为Hawking,动词devote的动作对象就是主语自身,故应用反身代词作宾语,devote oneself to“献身于;致力于”是固定搭配。故填himself。
【39题详解】
考查数词。句意:Hawking拒绝接受他只能活几年的预测,因为他在20岁出头的时候患上了一种运动神经元疾病。根据句意,此处应用数词twenty的复数形式twenties,表示“20多岁”,in one’s twenties“在某人二十几岁时”是英语习惯表达。故填twenties。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词现在分词。句意:这种疾病逐渐剥夺了他的行动能力——使他被限制在轮椅上,几乎完全瘫痪,如果不通过声音合成器就不能说话。分析句子可知,句子谓语为robbed,空格处为非谓语,动词leave“造成;留下”和主语The illness之间是主动关系,故用其现在分词作状语,表结果。故填leaving。
【41题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是在这些困难中,他修改了1988年出版的《时间简史》初稿。分析句子可知,本句为强调句,强调句句型结构为:It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其它部分。本句强调介词短语with these difficulties,故填that。
42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这本书被翻译成30种语言,在世界范围内销量超过1000万册,作为一本科学书籍,每年都继续吸引和激励新的读者。分析句子可知,空格处为非谓语,动词translate和主语the book之间是被动关系,故用其过去分词作状语。句首字母大写,故填Translated。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:时间是有开端的吗?根据空格前的不定冠词a可知,此处应用begin的动名词转化的可数名词beginning的单数形式,作there be 句型中的主语。故填beginning。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:幸运的是,Stephen Hawking向我们展示了时间和空间,上帝和一个谜。修饰整句,应用lucky的副词形式。句首字母大写,故填Luckily。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:《时间简史》有平装本,我强烈推荐这本书。修饰动词recommend,应用strong的副词形式。故填strongly。

【答案】Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion, which I hope will be of some help to you. Frankly, I hold the view that it is perfectly reasonable to study abroad. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes the learning process engaging and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better.
All things considered, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,
Li Hua

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.

I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports. Different from my father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that" There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"
As an adult, my teenage tendencies of exaggeration(夸张) may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for many girls, boys, men and women everywhere. Others are feeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.
But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support, love and laughter in these times. So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times, making valuable monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation(隔离), people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active. Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.
So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.
4. What may the author's father agree about sports
A. It is a personal hobby. B. It boosts confidence.
C. It affects social relations. D. It helps avoid wars.
5. How does life without sports affect people
A. They lack family connection. B. They have lost their hobbies.
C. They feel bored more than lonely. D. They suffer both in body and mind.
6. How do isolated people respond to the tough situations
A. Struggle to be athletes. B. Try to stay physically active.
C. Make donations to good causes. D. Design new sports programmes.
7. What is the best title
A. Sports reduces risks in our lives B. Sports continues to offer strength
C. Sports makes the impossible possible D. Sports has new functions in the pandemic
C
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宫修文物》)does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers(修复者)of relics and antiquities(古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(工艺)in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance(忍耐), loneliness…All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Oing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
8. According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A To show people how antiques are restored
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers
9. What can we learn from what Wang Lin says in paragraph4
A. He often gets tired with his work B. There is no need to do restoration work fast
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration
10. What does the underlined word “humdrum” in paragraph 5 mean

Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of “tonic food”.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
12. What is the present situation of tonic food
A It is catching less attention. B. It is enjoyed by many young people.
C. It is well-known worldwide. D. It is becoming increasingly popular.
13. What is believed to benefit new mothers
A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea.
C Sesame oil hot pot. D. Fish soup.
14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3
A. Medicine B. Restaurant.
C. Manufacture. D. Agriculture.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine
B. The Popularity of Tonic Food
C. An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food
D. Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food
