Lam Hon-ming, director of the State Key Laboratory at the Chinese University
of Hong Kong, is a top expert in soybean (大豆) research. Since 1998, Lam’s team
has been cooperating with scientists in Chinese mainland. In 2010, he came across
Zhang Guohong, an agricultural expert from Gansu, China, at a national soybean
conference (会议 ). With the same major, they hit it off and decided to improve
farmers’ lives and promote local agriculture.
Farmers in Gansu depend largely on the weather for their livelihood, mainly on
rainfall, which is also a cause of severe poorness in the area. In 2016, they developed
three new soybean varieties suited to salty soil and rare rainfall of Northwest China.
All received official government approval (批准).
As the land in Northwest China is not suitable for the growth of common
varieties of soybeans, local farmers never planted soybeans, and it became a major
problem for spreading new soybeans. Lam and Zhang increased communication with
farmers through various ways. To ensure farmers’ income, Lam struck a partnership
with a Hong Kong food company that will buy all soybeans at market price when they
are harvested.
By 2020, the planting area of the three approved soybeans in Gansu had gone
beyond 2.4 million square kilometers, covering 46 of the province’s 80-plus counties,
and the output had reached 7.71 million kilograms, adding about 30 million yuan to
local farmers’ income.
Zhang said that Professor Lam’s contribution has greatly pushed the poorness
relief and agricultural research in Northwest China. “It is hard to keep doing
agricultural research with less funding. And it is more difficult to travel from Hong
Kong to the poor areas of the Northwest to do agricultural research,” he added. In the
future, Lan will continue to work with mainland scientists and lead more “Hong Kong
power” into the development of the country’s Northwest.
24. What can we know about the two scientists from Paragraph 1
A. They are friends since 1998. B. They met by chance in Hong Kong.
C. They once served in the same lab. D. They both major in agriculture.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Rainfall is not enough. B. The locals lived a poor life.
3
{#{QQABJQiUggigApBAAQgCQwWACECQkACCAYgGAAAMIAIBgRFABAA=}#}
C. The farmers never planted soybeans. D. Little land is rich in nutrition.
26. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. More work needs to be done. B. All farmers become better-off.
C. Soybeans grow throughout Gansu. D. The two scientists are successful.
27. Which of the following can best describe Lam Hon-ming
A. Dependent. B. Devoted. C. Open-minded. D. Honest.
C
A 72-year-old Chinese retired physics professor becomes an Internet celebrity. In
her short videos, Wu Yuren often uses everyday objects like eggs and coins as props
for her experiments. In one video for example, when explaining cosmic rays in space.
she grabbed a broom, ran her hand down the broomstick to the thin brush attached, to
illustrate how the energy of the rays gradually weakens and disperses. She also
explained rocket launches by blowing up a balloon. These interesting science videos
have attracted over 1 million followers, many calling her “science grandma”
It's said that Grandma Wu writes all her video scripts by herself, and she often
works with young team members till late at night, just to plan each shoot down to the
last detail. For some physics principles that are hard to present, she would discuss
them with other professors to work out something easy for people to understand.
Many youngsters are greatly touched by Grandma Wu's sense of responsibility
and mission to communicate physics ideas to the public, especially teenagers.
Meanwhile,her lifestyle, embracing new technologies to maximize her value, inspires
people in particular.
In recent years, Chinese short-video sharing platforms saw a rise of such elderly
Internet celebrities like science grandma. For example, there's "Grandpa Amu”, an
experienced carpenter who turns ordinary wood into exquisite items without a single
nail or a drop of glue. "Shaanxi Old Qiao", or Grandpa Qiao, teaches people to cook
Shaanxi's local cuisines in his videos. These noodles and all are so tempting that even
kitchen rookies couldn't help trying.
With the technology boom and the help of young people, many Chinese seniors
are opening up a new digital world, and are communicating with the world better
through the web. Plus, all this also shows society's respect and affection for the
elderly.
28.What can we learn about Wu Yuren from the first two paragraphs
A.She shared her videos to seek fame.
B.She finished her videos on her own.
C.She chose daily items to aid her teaching.
D.She refused physical principals hard to explain.
29.What moves the teenagers about Wu Yuren
A. Her ambition to succeed. B.Her multiple teaching methods.
C.Her cooperation with colleagues. D.Her passion for popularizing science.
30.What does the underlined word "rookies" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Green hands. B. Masters. C. Enthusiasts. D. Instructors.
31.What are the elderly Internet celebrities like
A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Creative and life-loving.
C. Disciplined and positive. D .Strict and responsible.
D
To show empathy ( 共 情 ) is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to
emotionally put yourself in the place at another. The ability to empathize is directly
dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.
4
{#{QQABJQiUggigApBAAQgCQwWACECQkACCAYgGAAAMIAIBgRFABAA=}#}
If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how
another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not
know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy (妒嫉 ), you will not
understand its power. Reading about a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is
very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.
Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has
actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings—the great depths of
depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example— is the one who is most able to
empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate to” other
people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many
feelings of their own. Once you have felt discriminated (歧视) against, for example, it
is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our
innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and
form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the
“reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways
nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival.
For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our
own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from
them or try to numb (使麻木) ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.
Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling—to
acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with
others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional
awareness and sensitivity—in other words, to be “in touch with” your feelings.
32. How does the author explain the feelings of empathy
A. By giving examples. B. By having classification.
C. By making comparison. D. By providing data.
33. Which statement may the author agree with
A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings.
B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is.
C. Empathy is a way we recently picked up for better survival.
D. Rich experiences of emotions may go with a high level of empathy.
34. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs
A. To advise a sincere attitude to one’s experiences.
B. To suggest a right understanding of empathy.
C. To recommend sensing and recognizing one’s emotions.
D. To call for true acceptance of one’s identity.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How Empathy Unfolds B. Be Open to Your Emotions
C. Why Is Empathy Important D. Accept Your True Self

Are you trying to find the ideal time for exercise 36 Follow these tips to

Dawn, dusk or the dead of night—when's the best time to work out Well, that
depends on when's the best time for you, because the benefits of physical activity
depend upon how consistent you are. 37 But if you're not a morning person, it
may not be realistic for you to try to get up at dawn to work out. The key is to do
what's most likely to work for you consistently.
5
{#{QQABJQiUggigApBAAQgCQwWACECQkACCAYgGAAAMIAIBgRFABAA=}#}
38 If you find that working out too late in the evening keeps you from falling
asleep easily, shift your exercise session earlier in the day or try less intense forms of
movement.
To stay motivated(有积极性的), choose activities you enjoy. If you're a social
person, do something that engages you socially. Take a group exercise class, join a
recreational team or walk with a group of friends. If you prefer having time alone,

from may keep you from getting bored or burnt out.

B.Don't limit yourself to just one.
C.There are other important considerations.
D.Use your body clock as a guide to when to go for a walk.

It may be difficult to stick to a vegan diet, especially with many dishes 56
(contain) meat or other animal products. Yet in recent years, veganism has become a
growing trend in the world.
What is driving this 57 (grow) in veganism One main reason may be 58
people want to protect the environment. Producing meat and dairy products is known
to be 59 (stress) for the environment. According to a study, global meat
manufacturing causes about 18 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. This
figure is higher than all the world's cars, trains and planes 60 (combine).
For many people, veganism 61 (simple)means eating no meat, cheese or eggs,
but going animal-free also applies to fashion and manufacturing. For example, leather
62 (use) to make shoes and clothing. Every year more than a billion animals are
killed to make leather products from their skins. Now, many brands are looking for
other materials.
The sports brand Puma, for example, has made shoes out of pineapple
leaves.Tesla, the US car maker, is said to be removing animal-based leather 63 its
seats. Earlier this year, US singer Lady Gaga 64 (create) the vegan makeup brand
Haus Laboratories.
So, if you're interested in protecting animals and saving the environment, you
might want to give veganism 65 try.

Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn't have
much, but there was always food on the table—for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn't give up.

{#{QQABJQiUggigApBAAQgCQwWACECQkACCAYgGAAAMIAIBgRFABAA=}#}
Each day when she finally got home, she'd bring Andy home from a kind neighbor,
who attended to her boy for hours daily. Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still
working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about
getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn't even make it to her
house's front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At
the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head
hit the sofa's edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did
everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy's hand on her shoulder. The doctor
brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And
she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn't help
crying." What am I going to do now " she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears
in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!" And it saddened them both again because
Mary could barely hear Andy's words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device."
Who has that kind of money " Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn't. "Mom has taken good care of me for years. It's high time that I
did something to try to repay her," Andy thought. He was determined to take a
part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance
was very good, he decided to work as a tutor(家教) for junior kids.

Last Friday, our school held an English drama festival, aiming to provide us
students with access to the magical world of English literature and equip us with the
ability to appreciate its literary charm. About 500 students from all grades participated
in it.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the host and the hostess addressed a few
introductory remarks to the audience and then the performance began. As scheduled，
we put on a variety of performances, including English dramas, dubbing, reciting
English poems with music. The thunderous applause filled every corner of the hall.
Long as the performance was, it was really a feast to the eyes and ears.

Paragraph 1: First, he made advertisements.Then, he put them up in the
neighborhood. Attracted, some parents invited him home. After an interview, they
were content with Andy's teaching ability and hired him. Thus, Andy's schedule
became so tight that he often didn't get home until dinnertime. Andy kept it a secret
from his mom. Finally, he was amazed he earned enough money. He immediately
bought a hearing aid for his mother and studied the instructions.
Paragraph 2: One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the
hearing aid in her ear. Mary awakened to the sounds of birds' singing and car horns.
"Morning, Mom," Andy said. Mary turned, finding Andy was sitting nearby,
smiling.“Is there a hearing aid " she asked in disbelief. Andy nodded and asked.“How
does it feel " Mary replied that it was incredible, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
She was relieved that her son loved her so much.

M: Yes. I just read about a baby elephant in a small Indian village. It fell into a well
(井) nearly 30 feet deep one late afternoon.
W: That was really bad. I don’t think it could get out of it by itself.
M: You’re right. It wasn’t found until the following morning. But the man who found
it couldn’t get the elephant out.
W: So what did he do
M: He called the local forest department for help. Some people came for rescue. They
broke down the brick wall of the well, and made a way for the elephant to walk
on.
W: I hope the elephant didn’t get hurt.
M: Luckily it didn’t. But the well was damaged and needs rebuilding.
W: Well, I think it’s totally worth damaging the well. After all, saving a baby elephant
is very important.
M: You can say that again.

W: Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to tell you about a movie I watched
recently. I didn’t go to the cinema. Instead I watched it in my own bedroom because
the movie is on Disney+ as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie is
about an unlikely but strong friendship. It is set in a beautiful town near the sea on
the Italian Riviera. In the town there lives one young boy called Luka. Every
summer, he loves going outdoors for adventure. One day, he makes friends with a
boy he has never seen before. Luka shares his adventures with his new best friend.
However, all the fun is threatened by a secret. His new friend isn’t a real person. He
is a sea creature from another world just below the water’s surface. If you want to
find out what happens to the two friends in the end, you can watch it sometime.
That’s all about the movie. Thank you.
