Fortunately, with the society commercializing and competition becoming fierce, a substantial number of people are paying due attention to it.It is apparent that we are supposed to be aware of the importance of team spirit and communication, especially in workplace.Hardly can anyone achieve success in his career without the assistance of his colleagues and communication with his partners. As grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through powerful team work. Take basketball star Yao Ming for an example. He can slam the duck smartly because all his teammates contribute more or less to his outstanding performance. If we work separately, we will be confined to frail minds and limited resources.On the basis of the analysis above, we may draw a conclusion that team spirit and communication really count in this competitive society. Therefore, we should associate ourselves harmoniously with our companions in every attempt towards our goals. In addition, it is indispensable to train our kids frequently to interact smoothly with others in a team. As the frequently-quoted proverb goes, unity is strength.【参考译文】当谈到团队精神和沟通，我们所有人都应该正确看待它。
第二次六级模拟考试答案
第二次六级模拟考试Part I. CompositionShould Retirement Age Be RaisedWhether to raise the retirement age has become a hot topic nowadays. Many people see increasing the retirement age as a way to help the financial challenges in the social security fund. And, they say, there are compelling demographic reasons for such a change____ increased life spans, increased working capabilities, and a strucutural demand for experienced labor.However, many more were against raising the retirement age. They argue that the pension fund has a surplus now. Besides, a prolonged life span doesn’t necessarily mean that people are able to work longer. More importantly, raising the retirement age would put more strain on the already grave employment situation. Adding working years for those now employed would mean fewer openings for the new job seekers who are younger and healthier.Personally, I think the government should raise the retirment age only when there is sever labour shortage, relatively high pension payments or the gov ernment is in a fiscal crisis. However, it’s apprant that our country now has none of these three scenarieos. Therefore, I don’t think it necessary to raise the official retirement age at present.Part II.

大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案
xx年大学英语六级模拟试卷及答案Part Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Joblessness is far more than an economic misfortune.It can be a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.It can cause illness,divide families and create a downward spiral of feelings of worthlessness and lack of selfesteem.Aording to research done by M. Harvery Brenner,associate professor of health at Johns Hopkins University,every 1% increase in the unemployment rate translates into 37,000 deaths over the next 6years,including over 20,000 deaths from heart attcks,900 suicides and nearly 500 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver.In addition,Brenner estimates that 7,500 unemployed or their families will be admitted to prison after mitting a crime or to a mental hospital.“The impact goes well beyond the individual who loses a job,”saidBrenner.“stress caused by economic factors affects our national life at every level.”Men who have been socialized as the family breadwinner are especially hard hit by unemployment.They suffer greater depression and anxiety and have a higher possibility of psychotic behavior than men who are employed.“Nine months seems to be a crucial point when hope and patience give out,”said a leading psychologist.After that,“illness,suicide,alcoholism,divorce,and even crime grow at epidemic rate.”Left without a job,many workers feel they have nothing to look forward to.They miss their co?workers and the routine of going to work.For many,the sense of hopelessness grows worse every time they are rejected for a new job.When this happens often enough,the rejection unemployed workers feel may be exacerbated if some friends and neighbors avoid them as if they had a contagious disease.21. Aording to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.Joblessness is an economic misfortune.B. Joblessness is a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.C.Joblessness can cause the unemployed to mit suicide.D.Joblessness is a contagious disease.22. In what way does the unemployment affect the unemplayed and their families?A.It makes them ill.B.It causes the divorce.C.it creates a feeling of worthlessness and lack of self?esteem.D.All above.23. Aording to M. Harvey Brenner's research,if there is 1% increase in the unemployment rate,how many people will die from cirrhosis of the liver?A.37,000B.20,000C.900D.50024. If a man has been unemployed for a year,he .A.will be happy and relieved.B.will be hopeless.C.will lose patienceD.both B and C25. What is the best title for this passage?A.An Economic Misfortune.B.The Harm of JoblessnessC.An Scientific ResearchD.How to Treat The UnemployedQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Ironically,in the United States,a country of immigrants,prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems.There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each sueeding group.As each group became more financially suessful,and more powerful,they excluded newers from full participation in the society.Prejudice and discrimination are part of our history,however,this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans.Blacks had distinct disadvantages.For the mostpart,they came to the “land of opportunity”as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions.Unlike most European immigrants,blacks did not have the protection of a support group;sometimesslave?owners separated members of the same family.They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color.It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture.Even after they became free people,they still experienced discrimination in employment,housing,education,and even in publicfacilities,such as restroom.26. Prejudice and discrimination.A.were goneB.have been existing in the American societyC.don't exclude new immigrants from participation in the societyD.are mainly caused by the slavery27.

One of the reasons why black Americans could not easily mix in American society is.A.that most Americans are immigrantsB.due to their skin colorC.that they speak their language differently from AmericansD.that they were free to keep their heritage29. The author specifically mentions that.A.black Americans are most prejudicially treated in the U.S.B.discrimination in the South was not more obvious than in the NorthC.the situation of blacks is almost the same today asit was in the 1930sD. after blacks became free people they didn't experience discrimination in employment and public facilities30. The attitude of the author is.A.favorableB.praisingC.indifferentD.sarcasticQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 fromNazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sportsfor the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed fast.Teams now e from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.Now,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at StokeMandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries tookpart.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great suess in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoysports.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed toconvince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.31. The first games for the disabled were heldafter Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England.A.50 yearsB.21 yearsC.9 yearsD.4 years32.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is weled by the British.35. From the passage we may conclude that writer is.A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB.a disabled who once took part in the gamesC.against holding the games for the disabledD.in favor of holding the game for the disabledQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea.He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess. Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twenty?two,Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude pass of the day and could improve it.Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo. To Prince Henry the world owes credit for development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible.He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.36.

I got into the building where I was going to live, and looked door after door for my name. At last I found it. In the room, there was already a student making his bed. After we said “how do you do?” to each other, he continued his work, paying no more attention to me.I looked around the room and found that it had been thoroughly cleaned. No doubt it was he who had done it.I looked at him. He was thin, short and dark. His hair was like a bundle of straw. His dirty clothes and tired look told me that he had had a long journey. His clothes were made of cheap cloth, and he wore a pair of rubber shoes, which were very unfashionable. He was not a very smart freshmen at all.The second time he spoke, his accent told me that he was from the south. “Shall I help you to get your luggage from the office?”I did not refuse since I really needed help. He was quick inmovement. He walked out of the room and was soon far ahead of me to the office.“A good guy,”I said to myself.“I will make friends with him ”,and I hurried and caught up with him.。

六级笔试新题型模拟试卷02Part I Writing1.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on How to Develop Critical Thinking Skills. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.1. 批判性思维的重要性2. 某些学生缺少批判性思维能力，其原因是……3. 如何解决答案：How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsAccording to Wikipedia, critical thinking generally refers to a higher-order of thinking that questions assumptions. It is a way of deciding whether a claim is true, false or even partly true and partly false. Also described as "thinking about thinking", critical thinking has become an important component in many professions. Despite that critical thinking ability is highly required in education, some students are always said to be less critical compared with their counterparts from a different educational background.Two major factors may contribute to the lack of critical thinking skills of these students. To begin with, let us take China, Japan, and Korea as examples, there has formed a tradition that children could never be allowed to disobey their parents, teachers and authorities due to historical and political backgrounds. Additionally, the difference in education system could be another reason. Take the American way of teaching as an example, students in America are usually encouraged to discuss in groups and challenge each other, the tutors or even the authorities, in which critical thinking skills are gradually cultivated. However, in most Asian countries, students are just the passive recipients rather than active learners. Once they have grown up in such a restricted education system, it would be rather difficult to change the way they think.Therefore, it is the primary concern for the students to increase the awareness of critical thinking. Besides, the education system should be reformed to get students fully involved in all inquiry processes like discussing, challenging the authorities and keeping asking why. Moreover, teachers'exploration on how to develop students' critical thinking skills should be another focal point in the education system reform.解析：此作文属于分析类文章，并且题目中已经给出提纲，考生只需要按照提纲写出亚洲学生缺乏批判性思维能力的现状，分析主要原因，并写出解决方法即可。
大学英语六级模拟题及答案解析
大学英语六级模拟题及答案解析Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.?Passage 1Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:?In a sense, the new protectionism is not protectionism at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the term. The old protectionism referred only to trade restricting and trade expanding devices, such as the tariff or export subsidy. The new protectionism is much broader than this: it includes interventions into foreign trade but is not limited to them. The new protectionism, in fact, refers to how the whole of government intervention into the private economy affects international trade. The emphasis on trade is still there, thus came the term “protection.” But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affect international economic relations.?The emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist, or welfare economy over the market economy. Jab Tumiler writes, “The old protectionism…coexisted, without any apparent intellectual difficulty with the acceptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism — indeed, protectionists as well as (if not more than) free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策). Now, as in the 1930s, protectionism is anexpression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and incomes to societies satisfaction.”?It is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism. In a market economy, economic change of various colorsimplies redistribution of resources and incomes. The same opinion in many communities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper. Therefore, the government intervenes to bring about a more desired result.?The victory of the welfare state is almost complete in northern Europe. In Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal. In Great Brita in this is only somewhat less true. Government traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so. Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe. It also happens to be the most successful Western European economy.?The welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe. Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage laws, and rent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene. ?11.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing ____.?A) the definition of the new protectionism?B) the difference between new and old protectionism?C) the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world?D) the significance of the welfare state?12.What does the phrase “stood for(Para.2)” mean??A) represented. B) held out. ?C) tolerated. D) disapproved. ?13.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage??A) Free education is available to a child.B) Laws are made to fix the minimum wage.?C) A jobless person can be insured.D) There are regulations for rent.?14.Which of the following inferences is true, according to this passage?A) The economy developed faster in welfare states than in non-welfare states.?B) In the 1930s, protectionism began to rise.?C) The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest.?D) Government plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain.?15.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions??A) When did the new protectionism arise??B) Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries??C) Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government??D) Why does the government intervene in economic lifePassage 2 ?Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:?When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend, the village idiot, and theneighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class and immigrants as well, but that just come with the territory. Essentially we were Jews on the streets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, and smart and feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part grade-school English, part kitchen Yiddish.?One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncle’s car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “That’s all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here.” In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a humiliated man, without power or standing.?When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote “Anold Brown” instead of “Anold Braunowiitz.” The news swept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn’t standstill.Thing felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. That’s what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.?But whom exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arinie, not Selma. I mean mybrother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girls goes to college, too,” she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother’s going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would break the perils of class and race, and some how I’d be there alongside him.?16.In the passage, we can find the author was____.?A) quite satisfied with her life?B) a poor Jewish girl?C) born in a middle-class family?D) a resident in a rich area in New York?17.Why did the author’s father say “Nothing but a few Jews in here”?A) He was asking for help.?B) He was complaining.?C) He was reassuring.?D) He wanted to know why their car was sideswiped.?18.Selma Shapiro had her nose straightened because she wanted ____.?A) to look her best?B) to find a new job in the neighborhood?C) to live a new life in other places?D) to marry very soon?19.Anold Brown changed his name because ____.?A) there was racial discrimination in employment?B) Brown was just the same as Braunowiitz?C) it was easy to write?D) Brown sounds better?20.From the passage we can infer that ____.?A) the Jews were satisfied with their life in the Bronx?B) the Jewish immigrants could not be rich?C) all the immigrants were very poor?D) the young Jews didn’t accept the stern reality??Passage 3Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?It is all very well to blame traffic congestion, the cost of petrol and the hectic pace modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again to, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another kettle of fish altogether. You might tolerate the odd road hog, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” ca mpaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.?Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most levelheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to retaliate when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes along way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Manydrivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.?Contrary to general opinion, young drivers (especially sports-car owners, who take pride in their driving) have better manners than their seniors. But this attitude is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any quarter. This may be a commendable trait on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.?Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signal cars to over take when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps.“They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warni ng.” Slanting matches and even punch-ups are quite common. It can’t be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways duel carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process.?Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver maybe, he can’t be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.?21.What does the author mean by “another kettle of fish altogether” (Para.1, sentence 3)??A) completely another awkward and difficult situation?B) another net of fish put together?C) completely another kind of situation?D) completely another kind of driver ?22.The phrase “get completely out of hand” (Para. 1, last sentence) stands for ____.?A) get without giving it much thought completely?B) get out of order completely?C) get out of control completely?D) get ready completely?23.Road courtesy is good sense because ____.?A) it minimizes friction?B) most drivers never make acknowledgements?C) it cuts down the number of drivers?D) most drivers will hit you if offended?24.A common example of bad manners on the roads is ____.?A) not signaling when overtaking?B) that they couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear ?C) preventing other vehicles from overtaking?D) making holes in the roads on purpose?25.According to the author, discourtesy on the roads is caused primarily by ____.?A) too many vehicles on the roads?B) the way people have to rush around nowadays?C) the aggressiveness of most drivers?D) too many pedestrians walking aboutPassage 4?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?Unlike any earlier building complex anywhere in the world, Rockefeller in New York City was built, not as a place where people could live, but as a city in which they could work. It was the biggest building project of its kind, a city within a city, and of the forerunner of projects that have sprung up all over the world. 30 architects, 120 draftsmen, and hundreds of other artistsand technicians were employed just to draft the plans. Before the buildings could be erected,229 old buildings had to be emptied of 4,000 tenants and razed. Just to buy up the leases took over two years and cost over $6,000,000. The unusual shape and setbacks of the 70-story RCA building resulted primarily from practical considerations such as lighting, the movement of people and the building’s services. The lower concourse and basement level were set aside for shops. A sunken plaza, complete with gardens and fountains, was designed to provide access to these shops. Today the plaza, which is used for ice-skating in winter and dining and dancing in summer , is one of the centre’s most popular attractions.?26.Which of the following statement is the main idea of the passage??A) The pleasant work environment.?B) The purpose of the RCA building setbacks.?C) The recreational facilities at Rockefeller.?D) The architectural significance of Rockefeller centre.?27.From the passage we know, Rockefeller centre was originally planed to serve as what kind of complex??A) Commercial. B) Recreational.?C) Housing.D) T ourist.?28.Which of the following is true about Rockefeller centre??A) It was patterned after an ancient design.?B) It has been imitated numerous times. ?C) All shopkeepers were required to take two-year leases.?D) 4,000 tenants are located in the complex.?29.According to the passage, what does the shape of the RCA building reflect ??A) Architectural creativity.B) City regulation.?C) Practical considerations.D) Decreased space needs.?30.The sunken plaza at Rockefeller centre was originally designed as ____.?A) an entrance of shopsB) an ice-skating rink?C) a restaurantD) a tourist attraction??Part ⅢVocabulary (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试(二)英语试卷(含答案)
2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试（二）英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The number of passengers varies among airports, with some airports serving tens of millions of passengers. Interestingly, some of the busiest airports in the country are not necessarily the biggest by surface area.Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)Atlanta Airport has been the world's busiest airport since 1998. Approximately 104 million people traveled through it in 2019, 20 million passengers more than the second busiest airport. ATL is located 11 kilometers away from Atlanta and named after Maynard Jackson and William Hartsfield, Atlanta's two former mayors.Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)DFW Airport is located between Dallas and Fort Worth, covering 69.63 square kilometers. In 2019, the airport served 75 million passengers, the most in its 45 years of existence. It has service to over 250 destinations, the majority being domestic destinations within the country. The airport has its fire protection unit, zip code, police, and emergency services.McCarran International Airport (LAS)Located approximately 8 kilometers south of Las Vegas, it occupies 11.3 square kilometers. It was constructed in 1942 and opened to flights in 1948. LAS is now the 9th busiest airport in the US, serving over 51 million passengers in 2019. Initially, the runways were made of asphalt(沥青), but are now made of concrete.Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)CLT Airport was opened in 1935 as Charlotte Municipal Airport. 19 years later, it was renamed after Ben Elbert Douglas, Charlotte's mayor, when the airport was expanded. The present name was given to the airport in 1982. CLT is located about 10 kilometers from Charlotte and is an airport for military and commercial use.1、Which is the best airport to go to for people who need immediate help？A. ATL.B. DFW.C. LAS.D. CLT.2、What's mentioned about LAS？A. Its present runways have been upgraded.B. It took six years to prepare for construction.C. Its original asphalt runways caused the accident.D. It received the most passengers in the world in 2019.3、What do ATL and CLT have in common？A. They are for commercial purpose only.B. They are the world's busiest airports.C. They are related to people's names.D. They were built by former mayors.If someone had told me five years ago that I would be living happily ever after on a small farm in western Oklahoma, I would have immediately denied the possibility. Back then, I was a confirmed city girl. I enjoyed the city life.Then one day, while we were checking my mother's farm for her, I looked around, liked what I saw and asked my husband, “Why don't we build a house here on the farm?”To my surprise, he said, “Yes!”And so we began a new and very different chapter in our life story. My husband and I set out to deal with the land. We took down dead trees, knocked down the outbuildings and planted vegetable and flower gardens. We learned new skills as we worked and provided the locals with humorous moments as they answered our questions. We built a home to welcome family and friends, to share the beauty and bounty of the land.We soon realized the land had played a joke on us: it had changed and transformed us in our efforts to change it. We lost weight and gained muscles.We've learned to recognize and honor nature's cycles and timing instead of clocks, calendars, schedules and to-do lists. With only two clocks in the house, we enjoy the flow of days into nights. Our timeless life allows us to appreciate sunrises and sunsets—each a unique event that camera and words only partially capture.Living a simple life in the country has led us back to common sense. We've learned to be resourceful in solving problems and can think of many unique ways. I become better at handling a situation with fewer resources and conveniences.In the quietness of the land, we hear and appreciate nature's music. We also listen to the silence. Walking through the grasses, gazing at the century-old trees and wondering about all the changes and history they have witnessed are relaxing pastimes. I have to be truthful: caring for the land is a joyful job.4、How did her husband react to the author's proposal?A. Opposed.B. Approving.C. Surprised.D. Concerned.5、How did the author benefit from the country life?A. She enjoyed better health.B. She made much money by working.C. She regained the respect from the farmers.D. She improved her relationship with her family.6、What is the author's feeling when living in the country?A. She becomes more creative.B. She becomes more humorous.C. She becomes more honest with others.D. She becomes more interested in travelling.7、What message does the author want to convey?A. Simple life is the most important.B. Country life is better than city life.C. Getting close to nature can be joyful.D. Living in the country is everyone's dream.If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High standards are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another. And as some researchers have discovered, pursuing perfection can have serious consequences to both mental and physical well-being.According to researchers, perfectionists hold themselves to unrealistically high standards and become self-critical if they believe they haven't met these standards. Perfectionists are also likely to feel guilt and shame if they experience failures, which often leads them to avoid situations where they are worried they might fail.In one study, researchers looked at a total of 284 studies (with over 57, 000 participants) and found that perfectionism was associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders. They also found that people higher in perfectionism (i.e. participants who more strongly identified with perfectionist traits) also reported higher levels of overall psychological distress.In an article published in 2016, researchers looked at how perfectionism and depression were related over time. They found that people higher in perfectionism tended to have increases in depression symptoms, which suggests that perfectionism may be a risk factor for developing depression. In other words, although people may think of their perfectionism as something that helps them succeed, it appears that their perfectionism may actually be harmful for their mentalhealth.Since perfectionism is associated with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes hesitant to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesn't mean being less successful. In fact, because mistakes are an important part of learning and growing, embracing imperfection can actually help us in the long run.8、Why does the author describe the scene in the first paragraph？A. To introduce the topic.B. To make comparisons.C. To support the author's argument.D. To define a concept.9、Who can be defined as a perfectionist？A. A person who is determined to achieve high goals.B. A person who tends to feel sorry for what he has done.C. A person who blames himself for not being that successful.D. A person who holds high standards for themselves.10、How can perfectionism be harmful？A. It may lower one's mental health.B. It reflects one's psychological level.C. It results in depression immediately.D. It stops one from recovering from depression.11、What will be discussed in the following paragraph？A. A call for not being a perfectionist.B. Another side-effect of perfectionism.C. Why perfectionism is harmful.D. How to avoid perfectionism.Some issues like climate change or the ongoing pandemic(大流行病)are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology, Paul O'Keefe, found that having a growth mindset(思维模式) of interest may activate this type of innovation.Professor O'Keefe established in earlier studies that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inborn and simply need to be “found”.For example, in one task, research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at theiruniversity. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated, the team found that peoplesciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational chemistry.As Professor O'Keefe pointed out, “This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for creative solutions. Take smartphones for example. You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge, but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to frame innovative ideas that bridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions.”The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment. This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields, and tend to learn new skills.12、What's the author's opinion about the world today？A. It is witnessing various types of innovations.B. It is undergoing great and profound changes.C. It faces more varied and complicated problems.D. It has removed many traditional ways of thinking.13、What can best replace the underlined the word “bridge”？A. Study.B. Plan.C. Choose.D. Connect.14、What does the author want to illustrate with the example of smartphones？A. Hi-tech products can boost people's general thinking.B. Hi-tech products are needed in multi-subject research.C. Improved technology gives birth to highly popular products.D. Making innovative products needs knowledge of many fields.15、What is the author's suggestion to those who are seeking employment？A. Learning practical skills.B. Broadening their interests.C. Staying safe in the pandemic.D. Knowing their pressing issues.二、七选五16、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。

Part ⅠWriting[参考范文]Travel-mate WantedI'm a 19-year-old female sophomore named Li Ming. I hereby earnestly invite a foreign young lady--college student preferred--to make a three week touring trip with me.My plan is to set off next weekend, when the summer vacation officially begins. The first stop is Kunming, the world-renowned city for its beauty and mild temperature. We'll get there by train and stay for 2 days, and then we'll head for Jinggangshan, a former revolutionary base as well as a natural beauty spot.After a 3-day visit there, we will take a long-distance coach to a nearby port city by the Yangtze River and board a downstream ship to Shanghai, so that we can enjoy the great scenery alongside the third longest river in the world. As everybody knows, Shanghai is one of the busiest and fastest developing cities in China. I'd like to have a good tour in Shanghai, so the stay there will be about half a week. A famous Chinese saying goes, "Just as there is Paradise in heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on Earth", so a 4-day visit to these two cities near Shanghai is a must. All together, our trip will last about three weeks.I only expect that my travel-mate could bear her own expenses and talk with me in beautiful English, and I would be an excellent guide for her since I major in tourist guiding.Those interested please contact me either through email (Liming@) or phone call (12345678).Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.【解析】［C］属细节推断题。
