If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. 16
Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created
Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular
game in China. 17 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the
pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other
player’s “king” . 18
Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of
lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. 19 This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today
see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke,
able to hear the beating of war drums. 20
A ．Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
B ．During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C ．It is called “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” .
D ．The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E ．There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F ．An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G ．Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

Weeds, the fast-growing plants that cannot be eaten and do not bring flowers, are a common problem for
gardeners. Some use chemicals to kill weeds. Others pull them up by hand or with heavy machinery. Luckily, there
are other ways to limit their growth.
For starters, there are mulches (护根物) which can bury weeds. Mulches are made from organic material, such as leaves, grass cuttings, and small pieces of wood. They are spread over the ground in a garden to control weeds.
Organic mulches break down over time. 16 That is not a bad thing, because their decomposition (分解)
creates nutrients for plants and humus (腐殖质) to keep soils wet and full of fresh air.
Plastic mulch is another way to stop mon black plastic is easy to lay down. It also effectively
blocks weeds and helps soil warm faster in the spring. 17 A reflective plastic mulch, for example, keeps
some plant-eating insects away. A major problem with plastic is that it breaks apart over time, so eventually it
needs to be thrown away, plus it adds nothing to the soil as far as nutrients or humus. 18
Finally, in addition to direct attacks on weeds, how you plant your garden can indirectly influence weed
growth. For example, close spacing of plants in the garden blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and can limit weed growth. And using a watering method known as drip irrigation will direct small amounts of water to the roots
of your plants instead of the weeds. 19 Lying in soil are millions of weed seeds just waiting to be
awakened by light and air.
20 Instead, your goal is simply to limit their growth in the garden.
A ．So you must add more to your garden often.
B ．So it is by far the best support for plant growth.
C ．And plastic also can block air from reaching the soil.
D ．A small group of geese can clear weeds in half a hectare of land.
E ．Whether or not you dig up your soil also influences weed growth.
F ．Using any or all of these methods will not permanently stop weed growth.
G ．Recent experiments with other colored plastic have shown effects on both bugs and plant growth.

Screen time includes all those hours you spend in front of your computer at work, and the time you spend
playing with your cell phone or watching TV. 16 According to some research, there are some convincing
reasons to make the effort to look at something else other than a screen.
It's bad for your health. Being in front of a screen is almost always sedentary (久坐的) behavior, which relates to things like lower fitness levels. Turn this around by choosing something active. You do not have to do
exercise at the gym. 17 They can help you keep healthy.
It messes up your sleep. When teenagers have more than four hours of screen time per day, and especially
when they use their screens before going to bed, they have trouble falling asleep. If you're not sleeping well, it will
not only make you feel tired the next day, but it can also affect your performance at work or in school. 18
It hinders (妨碍) your brain’s performance. 19 Researchers aren't yet sure why this is true, but it
probably has to do with the ways that technology teaches the brain to function. If kids want to perform well in
situations that involve memorization or problem solving, limit their screen time.
20 People who spend more time online, especially young people, are more likely to struggle with
communication. If interpersonal communication is important to you or part of your job, you will likely get benefits
if you spend less time in front of your screen.
A ．It all adds up.
B ．Here comes a solution.
C ．If you should use a screen, try to do just that.
D ．It’s not good for developing communication skills.
E ．You can take a walk, or work on a project at home.
F ．Kids do better in school when they have less screen time.
G ．So it’s worth the effort to use your screen less and get more rest.

At least 154 people were killed and more than 100 others injured in a stampede(惊逃)accident that occurred at Itaewon, Seoul, Korea, during a Halloween gathering, local authorities said early Sunday morning. What should we
do in case of similar crowding and trampling(踩踏) accidents Here are a few tips to increase the chances of
survival in an incident.

difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route.

curl up. Do not lay on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs.

Practical Guides to Gift Giving
Many people find special occasions and holidays to be stressful. Trying to get the right gift for everyone is no
easy task. To make your life easier during those times, follow these simple tips:
16 Trying to find something the day before the occasion is extremely stressful and is nearly
impossible. If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to come up with a gift right away, get the person a
gift certificate to their favorite store.
Don’t go overboard in trying to find the most perfect gift. If you try way too hard, it creates resentment and
extreme disappointment if the recipient’s reaction is not what you have hoped. 17
Avoid buying cosmetics (化妆品) for people whose taste you don’t know. 18 Those items are
embarrassing to return since many stores don’t accept them back. It is the same with buying clothes or jewelry.
Avoid giving large items for the home such as paintings or furniture. 19 If you visit this person’s home, they will face the embarrassment of either having to tell you that they got rid of your gift, or having to put
the unwanted item on display at their home.
20 Present the gift with an easy-going attitude — simply smile and say “This is for you.” And please
don’t ask the person about whether they like your gift or not! Give gracefully, and feel confident about your gift.
People will surely appreciate your skillful gift giving.
Include a gift receipt whenever you can. If the recipient does not like the gift, he or she will really appreciate
the opportunity to return it or exchange it for something they like.
A ．Keep it simple and reasonable.
B ．Start looking for a gift in advance.
C ．Choose proper presentation and packaging.
D ．How you give is as important as what you give.
E ．Some people feel guilty buying things not absolutely necessary.
F ．Most people are very picky about the brands, fragrances and colors.
G ．It puts the recipients in a really bad position if they don’t like your gift.

We all have projects that need to be finished. 36
Believe it or not, the location in which you plan your project plays an important role. A crowded place means distractions (分心) which certainly means that you will miss out important things which should have been included
in the plan. That’s why I urge you to sit down and make this plan in a location where you can focus. 37 If
you for some reason cannot, there are other locations available such as the library, your work office and so on.
Do you know well about the actual purpose of the project It’s not uncommon that people forget to outline the
exact purpose of the project in explicit terms.
38 If the purpose isn’t well explained, it could lead to some confusions in the future as well as loss of
time and money. Make sure you get it right in the beginning!
39 You may choose one of the two ways to start your project plan, either building everything from the
bottom up or starting from the top and going down. The former case is usually the more difficult way to start; it
would require you to know all the details of the project before you start the plan. The latter is usually the better way
to start. 40 Once you’ve done this, you can look at each individual entry and try to specify the details
concerning it.
A ．Where do you start
B ．Now let’s talk about how to carry out your project plan.
C ．It will help you start with a general overview of the project.
D ．If you can find such a place in your home, that would be perfect.
E ．It is certainly true that not having a purpose will result in failure.
F ．To successfully carry out a project, we need to make a project plan.
G ．Make sure it’s understandable by all parties involved including yourself.

Why is Art so Powerful
Perhaps the simplest answer to this question is that art touches us emotionally.
Art is powerful because it can potentially influence our culture, politics, and even the economy. When we see
a powerful work of art, you feel it touching deep within your core, giving us the power to make real-life changes.
It has the power to educate people about almost anything. 16 During the pandemic, some artists
created vivid and impressive paintings to spread the message of wearing a mask, which was well received by the
whole public.
It breaks cultural, social, and economic barriers. While art hardly really solves poverty or promotes social justice on its own, it can be used as a fair playing field for conversation and expression. 17 Therefore,
anyone can learn to appreciate art regardless of their social status, economic standing, or political background.
It accesses higher orders of thinking. Art doesn’t just make you absorb information. 18 This is why
creativity is a form of intelligence—it is a special ability that unlocks the potential of the human mind. 19
20 Many times in history we have heard of people being criticized, threatened and even killed
because of their artwork. Those responsible for these reactions, may it be an aggressive government, take these
measures against artists knowing how much their works can affect the politics in a given area. In the hands of good
people, however, art can be used to give back hope or offer courage in a society that’s undergoing a lot of
hardships.
A ．Art, at its simplest, is a form of communicating with each other.
B ．The truth is that people have recognized how powerful art can be.
C ．It presents information in a way that could be absorbed by many easily.
D ．Rather, it makes you think about current ideas and inspire you to make your own.
E ．Everyone can relate to art because everyone has emotions and personal experiences.
F ．Art may seek to bring about some particular emotion to relax and entertain the viewers.
G ．As a matter of fact, studies have shown that exposure to art can make you better in other fields.

Relationships play a big part in the success of your lives. 19 Developing relationships takes

able to maintain if circumstances change.
Establish good chew habits

with a treat like peanut butter are a good option. When you leave home, give them a hew toy to help them relax and
keep them occupied.

Screen time includes all those hours you spend in front of your computer at work, and the time you spend
playing with your cell phone or watching TV. 16 According to some research, there are some convincing
reasons to make the effort to look at something else other than a screen.
It's bad for your health. Being in front of a screen is almost always sedentary (久坐的) behavior, which relates to things like lower fitness levels. Turn this around by choosing something active. You do not have to do
exercise at the gym. 17 They can help you keep healthy.
It messes up your sleep. When teenagers have more than four hours of screen time per day, and especially
when they use their screens before going to bed, they have trouble falling asleep. If you're not sleeping well, it will
not only make you feel tired the next day, but it can also affect your performance at work or in school. 18
It hinders (妨碍) your brain’s performance. 19 Researchers aren't yet sure why this is true, but it
probably has to do with the ways that technology teaches the brain to function. If kids want to perform well in
situations that involve memorization or problem solving, limit their screen time.
20 People who spend more time online, especially young people, are more likely to struggle with
communication. If interpersonal communication is important to you or part of your job, you will likely get benefits
if you spend less time in front of your screen.
A ．It all adds up.
B ．Here comes a solution.
C ．If you should use a screen, try to do just that.
D ．It’s not good for developing communication skills.
E ．You can take a walk, or work on a project at home.

How to survive a stampede
At least 154 people were killed and more than 100 others injured in a stampede(惊逃)accident that occurred at Itaewon, Seoul, Korea, during a Halloween gathering, local authorities said early Sunday morning. What should we
do in case of similar crowding and trampling(踩踏) accidents Here are a few tips to increase the chances of
survival in an incident.
Look for exits
If you are in a crowd, a first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and
mentally notice alternate exits. 16 .
Keep an eye on the crowd
17 , as panic situations can often be expected. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the
difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route.
18
_____
If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled. Move in the same direction of the crowd keeping your hands up by
your chest like a boxer — it gives you movement and protects your chest.
Protect your head
If you fall, get up quickly. 19 , or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and
curl up. Do not lay on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs.
Move diagonally towards the exit
After you’re pushed forward, like in a wave there’s a quiet period. In that period is your chance to move, and
the way you move is on a diagonal(对角) , between pockets of people. There’s always space between people. A
couple of steps sideways, another wave surge, then another couple of steps in the next quiet period. 20 .
A ．Avoid any choke points
B ．Keep pace with the crowd
C ．Be aware of the general atmosphere of the crowd
D ．You don’t want to be knocked unconscious in this situation
E ．You work your way out that way till you get to the outer edge
F ．No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out
G ．If you can’t keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd
【答案】 16 ．F 17 ．C 18 ．B 19 ．G 20 ．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在踩踏中幸存的方法。
16 ．根据上文“If you are in a crowd, a first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your
surroundings and mentally notice alternate exits.(如果你在人群中， 首先也是最重要的是让自己熟悉周围的环境， 并在心里注意到可供选择的出口)”可知， 上文提到要注意出口， 本句为本段最后一句， 应继续强调要找到出
口，知道怎么出去。故 F 选项“无论你在哪里， 一定要知道怎么出去”符合语境。故选 F 项。
17 ．根据后文“as panic situations can often be expected. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the
difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route.(因为恐慌的情况经常是可以预 料到的。当遇到危险时， 几秒钟就能改变一切， 让你有可能利用你的逃跑路线)”可知， 后文提到恐慌的情况 经常是可以预料到的，说明要注意人群是否有恐慌的气氛。故 C 选项“注意人群的总体气氛”符合语境。故
选 C 项 。
18 ．根据本段内容“If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd do not fight against the pressure, do not
stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled. Move in the same direction of the crowd keeping
your hands up by your chest like a boxer — it gives you movement and protects your chest.(如果你发现自己在移
动的人群中间，不要对抗压力，不要站着不动或坐下，因为你很容易被踩踏。向人群的同一个方向移动，
双手举在胸前， 像拳击手一样——这样可以让你移动， 保护你的胸部)”可知， 本段的主旨是行动要和人群同
一个方向，即与人群同步。故 B 选项“与人群同步”符合语境，由总括本段的作用。故选 B 项。
19 ．根据上文“If you fall, get up quickly.(如果你跌倒了，迅速站起来)”以及后文“or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and curl up. Do not lay on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs).(如果这样做不可能，那就用手臂遮住头部，蜷缩成胎儿的姿势，不要趴在地上或仰卧着，因为这样 会暴露肺部，非常危险)”可知，本句是在假设跌倒站不起来的情况，该如何做。故 G 选项“如果你做不到，
继续沿着人群的同一个方向爬行”符合语境。故选 G 项。
20 ．根据上文“After you’re pushed forward, like in a wave there’s a quiet period. In that period is your chance to
move, and the way you move is on a diagonal(对角) , between pockets of people. There’s always space between
people. A couple of steps sideways, another wave surge, then another couple of steps in the next quiet period.(当你 向前推进时，就像海浪一样，会有片刻的平静。在这段静默中，你有机会移动，你移动的方式是在一个对 角线上，在人群之间。人与人之间总是有距离的。向旁边走了几步，又来了一波浪，然后又走了几步，进 入下一个平静期)”可知， 本句旨在说明提到利用平静期以及对角线行动来慢慢移动到人群的外围， 故 E 选项
“你沿着那条路一直走到外围”符合语境。故选 E 项。

Practical Guides to Gift Giving
Many people find special occasions and holidays to be stressful. Trying to get the right gift for everyone is no
easy task. To make your life easier during those times, follow these simple tips:
16 Trying to find something the day before the occasion is extremely stressful and is nearly
impossible. If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to come up with a gift right away, get the person a
gift certificate to their favorite store.
Don’t go overboard in trying to find the most perfect gift. If you try way too hard, it creates resentment and
extreme disappointment if the recipient’s reaction is not what you have hoped. 17
Avoid buying cosmetics (化妆品) for people whose taste you don’t know. 18 Those items are
embarrassing to return since many stores don’t accept them back. It is the same with buying clothes or jewelry.
Avoid giving large items for the home such as paintings or furniture. 19 If you visit this person’s home, they will face the embarrassment of either having to tell you that they got rid of your gift, or having to put
the unwanted item on display at their home.
20 Present the gift with an easy-going attitude — simply smile and say “This is for you.” And please
don’t ask the person about whether they like your gift or not! Give gracefully, and feel confident about your gift.
People will surely appreciate your skillful gift giving.
Include a gift receipt whenever you can. If the recipient does not like the gift, he or she will really appreciate
the opportunity to return it or exchange it for something they like.
A ．Keep it simple and reasonable.
B ．Start looking for a gift in advance.
C ．Choose proper presentation and packaging.
D ．How you give is as important as what you give.
E ．Some people feel guilty buying things not absolutely necessary.
F ．Most people are very picky about the brands, fragrances and colors.
G ．It puts the recipients in a really bad position if they don’t like your gift.

We all have projects that need to be finished. 36
Believe it or not, the location in which you plan your project plays an important role. A crowded place means distractions (分心) which certainly means that you will miss out important things which should have been included
in the plan. That’s why I urge you to sit down and make this plan in a location where you can focus. 37 If
you for some reason cannot, there are other locations available such as the library, your work office and so on.
Do you know well about the actual purpose of the project It’s not uncommon that people forget to outline the
exact purpose of the project in explicit terms.
38 If the purpose isn’t well explained, it could lead to some confusions in the future as well as loss of
time and money. Make sure you get it right in the beginning!
39 You may choose one of the two ways to start your project plan, either building everything from the
bottom up or starting from the top and going down. The former case is usually the more difficult way to start; it
would require you to know all the details of the project before you start the plan. The latter is usually the better way
to start. 40 Once you’ve done this, you can look at each individual entry and try to specify the details
concerning it.
A ．Where do you start

Art is powerful because it can potentially influence our culture, politics, and even the economy. When we see
a powerful work of art, you feel it touching deep within your core, giving us the power to make real-life changes.
It has the power to educate people about almost anything. 16 During the pandemic, some artists
created vivid and impressive paintings to spread the message of wearing a mask, which was well received by the
whole public.
It breaks cultural, social, and economic barriers. While art hardly really solves poverty or promotes social justice on its own, it can be used as a fair playing field for conversation and expression. 17 Therefore,
anyone can learn to appreciate art regardless of their social status, economic standing, or political background.
It accesses higher orders of thinking. Art doesn’t just make you absorb information. 18 This is why
creativity is a form of intelligence—it is a special ability that unlocks the potential of the human mind. 19
20 Many times in history we have heard of people being criticized, threatened and even killed
because of their artwork. Those responsible for these reactions, may it be an aggressive government, take these
measures against artists knowing how much their works can affect the politics in a given area. In the hands of good
people, however, art can be used to give back hope or offer courage in a society that’s undergoing a lot of
hardships.
A ．Art, at its simplest, is a form of communicating with each other.
B ．The truth is that people have recognized how powerful art can be.
C ．It presents information in a way that could be absorbed by many easily.
D ．Rather, it makes you think about current ideas and inspire you to make your own.
E ．Everyone can relate to art because everyone has emotions and personal experiences.
F ．Art may seek to bring about some particular emotion to relax and entertain the viewers.
G ．As a matter of fact, studies have shown that exposure to art can make you better in other fields.

How to Reduce Your Dog’s Separation Issues
Today, people are working from home more than ever. As a result, many dogs are enjoying a lot more time with, and attention from, their owners. Dog adoption rates have skyrocketed as people seek enjoyment and extra
companionship. 36 Check out these tips and ease your worries.
Teach puppies alone time
Dogs are social creatures and need to learn coping skills to be comfortable when they are left unattended.
37 It can result in destructive behavior such as chewing on furniture and digging up plants in the garden.
Teaching your puppy to be comfortable alone right from the start will help you avoid separation issues in the future.
Play some music
Choose classical or easy listening music, since the idea is to help calm your dog. 38 This will only cause your dog more anxiety. You can also record normal household sounds and play the recording for comfort.
Occasionally play the tape when you’re home so your dog doesn’t associate the recording with your departure.
39
___
Dogs like routine because it makes them feel secure. Setting up and maintaining an exercise routine will be important once you start leaving home more. This is especially important for adolescent dogs and active breeds. Think about the amount of exercise you are giving your dog now and ask yourself how much exercise you will be
able to maintain if circumstances change.
Establish good chew habits
Teach your puppy or dog what is acceptable for them to chew. 40 Chewable toys that can be stuffed
with a treat like peanut butter are a good option. When you leave home, give them a hew toy to help them relax and
keep them occupied.
A ．Create a routine
B ．Guarantee more exercise
C ．Don’t let your puppy follow you from room to room.
D ．Otherwise, they may become anxious when they are alone.
E ．But what will happen when life eventually returns to normal
F ．Only give them toys that are clearly distinguishable from household items.
G ．Radio programs can also work but not if the background music is too loud.
