At one time, their (25) ________ (big) goal was just to be able to land on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Over the past few years, BTS (27) ________ (make) headlines over and over by breaking records and thus pushing K-pop's popularity further overseas.

It's also something (30) ________ no K-pop act so far has been able to achieve.As easy - "delivery Drivers. Stuck in the System" -- recently went viral on Chinese social media. It has caused heated discussions about the __31__ conditions faced by delivery drivers in the country.The article was published by People magazine on the WeChat account. It described how competition has led food-delivery services to tighten over time. Their automated platforms are patting too much time pressures on delivery drivers. As a result, some drivers and up __32__ in unsafe driving habits, such as giving through see lights or driving against the direction of traffic, leading to accidents and even __33__.Within the first six months of 2019, Shanghai recorded 323 injuries and deaths __34__ delivery drivers alone. Ele.me and Meituan, the two food-delivery leaders, accounted for nearby 70% of the accidents. Because drivers are rated according their on-time performance, some even continue trying to finish their deliveries after they've been involved in accidents."Most people won't care if their __35__ arrive two minutes early or 10 minutes late. Platforms can actually be more forgiving of delivery drivers. We are more patient than they expect."Both companies are being pressed to better explain how they determine the delivery time that they are promising to __36__. Apart from that, they are required to explain how they define the delivery person's routes.About 12 hours after the article was published, Ele.me announced it will add a feature that allows customers to __37__ extend wait time by five or 10 minutes. It also promised that the platform won't penalize（处罚）drivers with good service history when they are __38__ late. Meituan responded that it's optimizing its system to ensure the safety of its drivers through the use of measures such as additional wait times in the event of bad weather or slow elevators.This isn't the first time that China has set out to deal with the safety __39__ surrounding its food delivery drivers. Following a series of road accidents in 2017, the police ordered platforms to improve safety standards for drivers __40__. A commentary from China's state newspaper at the time called for "more humane（人道的）" management of take-out couriers.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection AHave you ever stood in front of a cash machine and been unsure of how to make it work? Your __41__ increases as you try different buttons, and you are afraid because if you make another mistake, the machine will eat your card. How can a machine make you feel like such a fool? On the other hand, have you ever seen a Mini? These classic little British cars may not seem terribly __42__ because they cannot carry many people or much stuff,. Nonetheless, there is something about their style that attracts people __43__, their owners love them so much that they actually have their own international association of Mini enthusiasts. What these cases __44__ is that they both show the effects of design -- bad and good -- on human emotions.William Morris, a key figure in the English arts and crafts movement in the late 1800s, famously stated, "Have nothing in your houses that you do see know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." Even today beauty and __45__ remain the two key features of design, whether we are talking about the design of a building or a light built. However, she question of which is more important may never be __46__.This is shown by mother well-known saying in design. "form __47__ function. "This normally means that the stability and practicality of a design should always take priority over the beauty of a design. For those of us who have experienced __48__ design, this seems to make perfect sense. Remember the times when you have stood in front of a door-putting as a beautiful doorknob when the door actually opened with a simple push. __49__, we might prefer a more functional product regardless of what it looks like.__50__, researchers have found that beauty sometimes is easily important. For example, in a study of how people use computers, researchers found that early impressions influenced people's long-term attitudes about the computers' quality and me. People think that more beautiful and attractive designs are easier to use than those __51__ ones.According to Donald Norman, a cognitive（认知的）scientist, this is because positive.__52__ and learning, promote creativity, and encourage curiosity. This means that how well we are able to deal with a(n) __53__ - such as art unfamiliar machine - is partially dependent on how we think of the machine itself,. Thus, how a device looks or feels can play an important role in developing positive attitudes toward it and toward users __54__ to continue with difficult instructions. Take Google, who has taken this effect into consideration in its design. Consider how Google plays with its logo to celebrate holidays or recognize famous people or events. The use of humor puts users in a good mood, which can have a positive effect on their search for information. This, in turn, leads to __55__ to the Google search engine.41.

A. reluctance B. willingness C. opportunity D. requirement55. A. access B. loyalty C. gratitude D. objection Section BAThe teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was MyrtleC. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted(多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.56. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She introduced her to adult plays.C. She discovered her talent for dancingD. She cultivated her taste for music.57. What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A serious masterpiece.B. A writer of high fame.C. A book of great fun.D. A heartbreaking play.58. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.A. develop her capabilities for writingB. give her a chance to collect materialC. involve her in teenage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writing jobs59. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ________.A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplinedB. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.C. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialD. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning(B)Humpback whalesHumpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive,. The name "humpback", which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale's back forms as it dives.Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.A humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same.Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex "songs". Quick FactsSize:14m-18m in length 30-50 tons in weight Living Open ocean and shallowcoastline waters Environment: From warm tropical（热带的）waters, where theybreed, to cold polarwaters, where they eat. Diet: Shellfish, plants and fishor small size Hunting: Sometimes in groups, inwhich several whalesform a circle under thewater, blowing bubblesthat form a "net" arounda school of fish. The fishare then forced up to thesurface in a concentratedmass.Current state: endangered: it isestimated that there areabout 5000-7000humpback whalesworldwide.60. To make a breach, a humpback whale must ________.A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the waterB. twist its body sideways to jump high.C. blow two streams of waterD. communicate with a group of humpbacks.61. From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale________.A. has its unique markings on it tail flukesB. has black and white fingerprintsC. gets its name from the way it huntsD. is a great performer due to its songs62. The humpback whales habitually gives birth to baby ________.A. in the AntarcticB. in the tropicsC. in the ArcticD. in the shallow coastline watersThe Social and Economic Impact of AgeingAgeing means the population in many countries is, on average, getting older. Incredibly, between 1955 and 2010, average life expectancy（预期寿命）in wealthier countries increased by nearly half, from 48 to 67 years. Obviously, it is a good thing that people are living longer.________63________To illustrate this, in certain countries, a growing number of senior citizens are living by themselves, often without any relatives nearby. Some of them are simply unable to look after themselves. They can only get help if their houses are specially adapted. ________64________ Therefore, they need someone, perhaps a professional, to lend them a hand. And of course, senior citizens need social activities as well.________65________ Supermarkets, for example, have introduced more home-delivery services, which have been particularly beneficial for senior citizens. In addition, there has been significant growth in companies providing services which would traditionally have been undertaken by families. This includes private nursing care and the "meals wheels" service, which delivers food to their doors.Although there have not been many other areas so far where the impact of ageing can be clearly seen, many governments are worried about the economic impact of an ageing population. With fewer people working and paying taxes, it is obvious that government will have less moneyto pay for things such as health and education.Despite various concerns, there can be some advantages an ageing population can bring: In countries where the percentage of children is lower, there are fewer education costs. In more developed countries senior citizens tend to have more savings and free time.________66________ Of course, some of them also have a lot of experience. They can continue working in a voluntary capacity and contribute more to society.IV. Summary Writing67. Food is life. We eat it to grow, stay healthy, and have the enorgy to do everyday activities. The food we consume makes ail of these things possible, but not all food is cream equal. Studies have shown, for example, that children who eat a nutritious breakfast do better in school than those with a poor diet. The well-fed child is able to pay attention longer, remember more, and participate more actively in class. The findings, then are clear. Because our food choices affect our health and behavior, we must do more than just eat: we must eat well. For many people today, thought, making healthy fond choices is not easy.We are surrounded by information telling us what is good for us and what isn't, but usually this information is more confusing that helpful. In fact, different research about the same food often produces contradictory results. In previous research on eggs, people were encouraged to limit or completely sliminate eggs from their diuts to prevent dangerous diseases. Recent studies say eggs are good for you. It's hard to know who to believe.Shopping for food can also be challenging. During a visit to a supermarket, we often need to make many different choices. Should you buy this cereal or that one? Regular or fat-free milk? Tofu or chicken? It's hard to know which to choose, especially when two items are very similar. May shoppers read product labels to help them decide. Indeed many food labels are often misleading.Making healthy food choices and eating well do not have to be difficult. Doing simple things can result in a better diet and a healthier you. Urban gardening, which is becoming popular again is one such thing. On small pieces of land, neighbors are working together to grow fruit and vegetables. What are the benefits of these garden? People have access to more fresh fruit and vegetables, especially poorer people who are less likely to spend money on these items. The food also costs less than it would in a supermarket. There are other benefits, too. Working together in the garden helps people to exercise. Urban gardens have also been used to teach children about food production and healthy eating.V.

During one of my lessons he aske d how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a da y.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour 16 ?”“I try to .”“Well,don‟t,”he said loudly. “When you grow up, 17 won‟te in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find the m five or ten before school, after lunch, 18 household tasks.19 the practice through the day, and piano-playing will bee apart of your life.”When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to 20 , but class p eriods, theme-reading, and mittee meetings filled my days and evenings.For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my21 was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter h ad said. During the next 22 I conducted an experiment. Wheneve r I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred wor ds or so.
