书面表达：
Lately, COVID-19 has broken out and spread all over the world. To order to fight
against the virus, the students in China have to study at home on computers instead of
going to school.
As for online teaching, it not only can save time so that we can do more other
things like taking up new hobbies, but also can be convenient for our daily life and
study. Besides, after class, we can watch the video again and review the part which we
don’t understand.
However, facing the computer too long is harmful to our health, causing vision
loss, headaches, a sore neck and sore back. Moreover, Online teaching weakens the
relationship between teachers and students. While having class, some are playing
computer games at the same time!
As for me, I prefer to study in class because I really miss my teachers and
classmates. That’s why I pray for the disappearance of the deadly virus every day, and
I believe it’ll soon come.

Although it may take some time to achieve global change, companies and
individuals have already developed ways to reduce plastic pollution.
Plastic Bank
According to its founder David Katz. “The only way to stop ocean plastic is to
show the value to the collectors.” The company does this by rewarding people who
collect ocean plastic with cash, goods, services. The garbage collected is recycled and
sold to companies that pay above market prices to help the cause.
Liter of Light
Since 2011, Liter of Light has been transforming plastic bottles into light sources
(光源). There are millions of people who have no access to electricity. The company
attaches plastic bottles filled with water and bleach to roofs. They reflect sunlight into
the dark, windowless homes during the day. When the sun sets. a micro solar panel
(太阳能电池板) helps power an LED bub (灯泡).
The Ocean Cleanup Foundation
In 2013, 18 year-old Boyan Slat dropped out of college to start The Ocean Cleanup
Foundation. The young inventor developed the first operational cleanup system in the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The system is designed to collect the surface garbage a8
it floats past. The accumulated plastic will be brought to land for recycling. Slat
believes his invention will allow u8 to clean 50 percent of the patch within five years.
You and Me

Rajendra Singh is considered a hero in the state of Rajasthan, India, for
single-handedly saving five rivers that had been dried up for decades.
Singh, who studied Ayurvedic medicine at college, had always dreamed of
becoming a farmer. So when he moved to Rajasthan's Alwar district in 1985, he was
interested in curing not just his people, but also the region's ecosystem.
Singh noticed that most villagers had left their homes after the local Arvari River
had dried up, and the only people who remained were either too old or too poor to
move elsewhere. Singh, driven by a strong desire to help the villagers, took on the
task of bringing water back to those lands.
For two years, Singh worked tirelessly, building jihad (rainwater storage tanks built
with stone, dirt, or whatever materials are available) and checking dams that didn't
result in much success. Local elders laughed at him, but he continued working with
enthusiasm. And his enthusiasm proved infectious-seeing he was sincere in wanting to
help bring water back to their lands, the locals soon began to give money and offer
suggestions on proper locations to build more dams and johads.
Finally his strategy worked. It wasn't long before the Arvari River came back to life,
along with four other rivers. People who had abandoned the districts slowly began to
move back home, returning to their traditional way of life.
Inspired by his success, Singh runs a non-profit organization called Tarun Bharat
Sangh (TBS), through which he helps thousands of people solve problems of water
shortage. Since the 1980s, TBS has built over 4,500 johads that collect rainwater in
850 villages in 11 districts in India.
4．What did Rajendra Singh do after moving to Alwar district?
A．He paid attention to its ecosystem.
B．He worked hard to be a good farmer.
C．He focused on researching into medicine.
D．He provided free medical treatment for the poor.
5．Why did most villagers leave their homes?
A．They were driven out by floods.
B．They wanted to realize their dreams.
C．The living conditions were bad.
D．They needed to earn money to survive.
6．Which words can be used to describe Singh?
A．Brave and aggressive B．Caring and determined.
C．Creative and ambitious D．Enthusiastic and honest.
7．What can we know about Tarun Bharat Sangh?
A．It is founded to support Singh's medical research.
B．It is funded by the rich local citizens.
C．It calls on all Indians to protect their living environment.
D. It enables many villagers to gain easier access to water.
C
As part of doing business globally and operating across culture, we often want to
predict how others are going to behave. Our typical heuristic(启发式教育法 ) is
culture. We learn about how Germans or Chinese or Italians are different from
us---how they think or act or even express emotions in a different way — and we feel
like we’ve done our homework. We feel prepared.
But we’re surprised to discover that the person in question acts in a completely
different way from how we expected. Instead of being silent, our colleague from Asia
is actually quite loud and confrontational(对抗的). Instead of behaving aggressively,
our Israeli supplier is mild-mannered. We wonder where we went wrong.
The problem comes from the questions we ask ourselves. The obvious one is “What
culture does this person come from?” This question is not important. National cultural
differences do matter. But culture isn’t everything. It turns out that if we ask ourselves
a better, more focused set of questions, we’ll be far more successful at predicting how
people will act.
Question 1: What do you know about the region? Just as it is useful to learn
something about culture norms(标准) when diagnosing(诊断、判断) your situation, it
is good practice to learn something about region norms. For example, if you were
doing business in the America and assumed that people from the Northeast would be
similar to people from the Midwest, you might be surprised.
Question 2: What do you know about the company or industry? Like countries and
regions, companies and industries also have distinctive cultures. How you would
interact with a boss at Google is quite different from how you would interact with a
boss at Microsoft or Intel.
Finding the answers to these questions before you cross cultures can be tricky, but
it is possible. One of the best ways to anticipate what you’ll encounter is by talking
with expats: people similar to you who have studied, lived, or worked in the country
in question. These individuals will often give you some insight into these nuances.
8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When trading globally, we can predict cultural differences successfully.
B. Israeli supplier should be mild-mannered instead of being ill-tempered.
C. People don’t care about what culture this person comes from?
D. It is not necessarily reasonable to stress national cultural differences only.
9. According to the second paragraph, the author tries to tell us____________.
A. learning culture norms is more important than learning region norms
B. Asian people are actually quite loud and confrontational (对抗的)
C.Trying to know about the region is as necessary as knowing about cultural norms.
D.Doing business across cultures differs from doing business in the local region.
10. Which of the following is closest to the word “expats” in the last paragraph?
A. Employees B. Immigrants C. Experts D. Employers
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to diagnose cultural differences.
B. How to get along with a person from different cultures.
C. How to manage cross- cultural corporation.
D. How to learn about a distinctive culture.
D
Some experts pessimistically believe that cars (motor vehicles) will inevitably be
eliminated(淘汰）. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be
abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the car is here to stay.
They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable
future.
The car will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should
become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the
gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present
types.
Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem
in urban traffic jams. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated (自动
化的) highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可
伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to
those powering subway trains electrically.
Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system,
and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then
monitor all of the car’s movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the
system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all
the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and
wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an
automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with
the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.
12.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_________ .
A. its seating space B. its speed
C. its monitoring system D. its power source
13.What is the author’s main concern?
A. How to make automobiles pollution-free.
B. How to solve the problem of traffic jams
C.. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.
D. How to develop an automated subway system.
14.What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?
A. A rail. B. An engine.
C. A retractable arm. D. A computer controller.
15.In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______ .
A. keep in the right route
B. wait to arrive at his destination
C. inform the system of his destination by phone
D. keep in constant touch with the computer center

中有两项为多余选项。
Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in
Leonardo’s time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and
medical studies. ___16___ Mathematics included practical work like surveying land
for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist
might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics
to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene
looked correct. ___17___
Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed
relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. ___18___ More than
this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world,
including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”
“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all
his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his
search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual
experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to
ideas. 19 His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful
paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
___20___ His quick little sketches (素描), often done while wandering outside, helped
him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a
pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the
most expensive drawing in the world.
A. Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
B. Leonardo’s ideas were vastly ahead of his time.
C. How could these be connected with art?
D. Leonardo was always drawing.
E. Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F. Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.
G. You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.
