Section A

For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.
American Mikah Meyer has an unusual goal. He wants to visit all of the more than 400 properties operated by the National Park Service.
He spent January 2017 visiting historic areas in the southeastern United States.
One of his first stops was Fort Sumter, 21________ former military position in waters just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Fort Sumter is famous for being the place where the first shot of the Civil War 22________(fire). It is also 23________ the first person killed in the conflict died.
After years of rising tensions between Northern and Southern states, the two sides clashed in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. That was when the Southern army launched an artillery attack on Fort Sumter. Federal troops surrendered the fort a short time later. Union forces eventually fought 24________(regain) control of the base, and defeated the South in 1865. A lone cannon symbolizes the fierce battle that took place on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this federal fort in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, marking it 25________ the day when the Civil War began.
As he stood inside the large walls of Fort Sumter National Monument, Mikah Meyer looked across the water to the port at Charleston. He imagined what the area must have looked like more than a century and half ago. "You'll see across that bridge, Charleston, South Carolina. It was under siege at one point for 17 months. There were cannons that 26________ fire from where I'm standing on the fort all the way to the old town..." Meyer also visited the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site in South Carolina. There he had a chance to learn about Charles Pinckney, who helped write – and was a signer of -- the U.S. Constitution. Charles Pinckney was 29 years old when he helped draft the United States Constitution, 27________ he signed as a representative of South Carolina. He dedicated his considerable political and legal talents to 28________(establish) a strong national government. "Some people call him our forgotten founding father, but he was a political figure of early America who helped shape 29________ our eventual constitution ended up looking like..." The National Park Service helps care for what remains of Pinckney's former home and farm. Park service workers tell the stories of 18th- century plantation life for free and enslaved people.
During his travels in January, Meyer had a surprise. Barack Obama, in his last few days as president, named a new national park site in Beaufort, just south of Charleston. It is called the Reconstruction Era National Monument. The Reconstruction Era National Monument will help tell the story of post-Civil war America.
The Reconstruction Era 30________(stretch) from 1861 to 1898. It was a period when Americans struggled with the treatment of newly freed African Americans. The new national monument will help tell that story.

Section B

A. resolute B. comprehensively C. community D. hit AB. principal AC. posing

Dear Colleagues,
It is good to join you. Let me begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to His Majesty King Salman and Saudi Arabia for having done tremendous work of communication and coordination to make this summit possible.
Facing the COVID-19 outbreak that caught us all by 31________, the Chinese government and Chinese people have been undaunted as we took on this formidable task. From day one of our fight against the outbreak, we have put people's life and health first. We have acted according to the overall 32________ of shoring up confidence, strengthening unity, ensuring science-based control and treatment and imposing targeted measures. We have 33________ the whole nation, set up collective control and treatment mechanisms and acted with openness and transparency. What we fought was a people's war against the outbreak. We have put up a strenuous struggle and made tremendous sacrifices. Now the situation in China is moving steadily in a positive direction. Life and work are quickly returning to normal. Yet, there is no way we will lower our guard or relax control.
At the most difficult moment in our fight against the outbreak, China received assistance and help from a lot of members of the global 34________. Such expressions of friendship will always be remembered and cherished by the Chinese people.
Major infectious disease is the enemy of all. As we speak, the COVID-19 outbreak is spreading worldwide, 35________ enormous threat to life and health and bringing formidable challenge to global public health security. The situation is disturbing and 36________. At such a moment, it is imperative for the international community to strengthen confidence, act with unity and work together in a collective response. We must 37________ step up international cooperation and foster greater synergy so that humanity as one could win the battle against such a major infectious disease.
For that to happen, I would like to put forth four proposals.
First, we need to be 38________ in fighting an all-out global war against the COVID-19 outbreak. The community of nations must move swiftly to stem the spread of the virus. In this regard, I propose that a G20 health ministers' meeting be convened as quick as possible to improve information sharing, strengthen cooperation on drugs, vaccines and epidemic control, and cut off cross-border infections. G20 members need to jointly help developing countries with weak public health systems enhance preparedness and response. I propose a G20 COVID-19 assistance 39________ for better information sharing and policy and action coordination with the support of the World Health Organization. Guided by the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China will be more than ready to share our good practices, conduct joint research and development of drugs and vaccines, and provide assistance where we can to countries 40________ by the growing outbreak.

III. Reading Comprehension (45’)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Economy rebounding after drop
China's economy experienced a sharp decline in the first quarter due to disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak, but major economic indicators improved substantially in March, indicating the country's recovery has gained a firmer footing, officials and economists said on Friday.
Supportive government policies are expected to intensify in the coming quarters to expand 41________ demand by stimulating investment and consumption as the global spread of the virus may bring more headwinds to the world's second-largest economy.
China's GDP in the first quarter 42________ by 6.8 percent from a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
43________ it remains unclear whether the government will still set a GDP growth target for the year, economists said China's policy priority for the next step needs to focus on stimulating demand and stabilizing employment to 44________ a sustainable economic recovery.
More proactive fiscal policies and more accommodative monetary policies are needed to prevent the economy from experiencing a second wave of 45________ caused by the global economic downturn amid the COVID-19 outbreak, they added.
The country's industrial production shrank by 8.4 percent year-on-year(与上年同期相比) in the first quarter, but the decline narrowed from a 13.5 percent drop in the first two months, according to the NBS.
Fixed-asset investment, which includes infrastructure and real estate investment, declined by 16.1 percent year-on-year during the first quarter, compared with a 24.5 percent plunge in the first two months.
The outbreak created a severe 46________ to the country's economy in the first quarter, but major economic 47________ rebounded in March and the country's economic performance will improve further in the second quarter, NBS spokesman Mao Shengyong said at a news 48________ in Beijing on Friday.
The government will 49________ policy support to expand domestic demand by increasing effective investment and releasing consumption 50________. More tax relief and financial aid will be offered to businesses to help them 51________ production and make it through the difficult times, Mao said.
The Chinese stock market rose on Friday with the benchmark(基准) Shanghai Composite Index(综合指标) up by 0.66 percent to close at 2,838.49 points as the first-quarter economic shrink was 52________ in line with investors' expectations.

While most large enterprises have started production again, according to NBS calculations, many smaller companies are still struggling to go back to work under rising financial difficulties and 55________ shortages.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Family violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse, and identify where abuse victims can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence, education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be controlled or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children.
Another cultural change is to reduce violence-related stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, media care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to prevent domestic violence and abuse, “they provide important assistance to low income families and thus support the functioning of these families.” Integrating families into networks of community would also enhance family’s well-being and provide support for families under stress.
What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglected? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women and children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women by encouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps the women express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelter is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women’s shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services.

56. The word “egalitarian” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.
A. relating to economics B. relating to everyday events
C. having to do with legal contracts D. having to do with equal treatment
57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to directly reduce violence in families?
A. Cutting down on violence in the media
B. the AFDC program
C. Reducing unemployment
D. Strengthening family ties
58. According to the passage, which of the following statements does the writer seem to support?
A. Providing women more wealth can largely reduce family abuse.
B. Laws must be passed to prevent family abuse.
C. Unfair attitude towards women is the only cause of family abuse.
D. Women should be equally paid.
59. The last paragraph is organized by ____.
A. listing the order of events in helping abused women
B. defining the term “safe house”
C. discussing the effects of family violence
D. listing social interventions available to help the abused

C
Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives, writes David Sturt, Executive Vice President of the O.C. Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do with the job that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.
In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parents with his optimism and calm, introducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaking “little comments about light and sunshine and making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“you’re sitting up today, that’s good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesn’t pretend to be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explains, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a powerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”
How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.
O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a further set of surveys to 1,000 managers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winning work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especially able to reframe their jobs: they don’t view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job may be.

63. According to Sturt, which of the following is TRUE?
A. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do that makes a difference.
B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.
C. Anyone can make a difference in people’s lives no matter what kind of job he does.
D. Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.
64. According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a
difference in people’s lives?
A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.
B. By showing his special gift and working experience when working at hospital.
C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.
D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.
65. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A. demands B. advantages C. disadvantages D. limitations
66. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives no matter what you do.
B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O.C. Tanner for advice.
C. Moses makes a difference through his sensitivity and his practical wisdom.
D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themselves.

Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each Sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. The simplicity masks deeper layers.
B. This is the Mario those who grew up with Nintendo know best.
C. Yes, you really can play one-handed.
D. There’s no way around it.
AB. And for years, the company simply refused.
AC. However, not everyone likes its design.

Mario on an iPhone? It works
This was not supposed to happen. For years, fans had tried to persuade Nintendo, a Japanese company, to put Mario on smartphones. 67___________________________________. Until Dec. 15, when Nintendo released Super Mario Run, for Apple iPhones and iPads. The bigger surprise? Super Mario Run is excellent.
68___________________________________________. He is still the plumber who dashes from left to right across fields of grassy blocks, rivers of coins and so on. The difference is that Mario moves automatically as soon as a level loads, animated by an algorithm. Instead of controlling Mario directly, players tap to interrupt his motion and make more imaginative choices. A quick rap (连续敲击) makes Mario hop, while a longer one boosts him twice as high. If you need to clear a crack, tap midair and he’ll pirouette (竖趾旋转) , flying a bit further. It’s intuitive.
69_________________________________________. Tap near a wall or when landing on blocks painted with reverse arrows, for instance, and Mario springs backward, letting you break the game’s one-wayness. It’s smart, less-is-more design that plays to the strengths of touchscreen gaming without sacrificing precision. For all its hesitance in embracing smartphones and tablets, Nintendo seems to have had no trouble designing software for them.
There is one fairly serious problem with Super Mario Run: the game works only with an active Internet connection. Sever(断绝) that and the game throws up an error screen. 70____________________________________. This means you can’t play Super Mario Run on a plane without paying for wi-fi. You’re out of luck for the part of your subway commute that involves cell-service dropouts.
Other than that, Super Mario Run impresses in ways sure to convince that designing games on smartphones is still a rapidly evolving—and improving—art form.

I．Summary (10’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Envy
It’s a familiar but uncomfortable feeling. Your best friend will marry a handsome doctor, and the congratulatory hug you offer lacks genuine warmth. Your friend is made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile but a voice in your head asks, why them and not you?
Envy is a shortcoming of character we like to keep in our heart secretly. How shameful is it not to be looking forward with delight to your day as your best friend's bridesmaid! Who would hope your friend might suffer some injury, so you can take his place on the team?
Envy is everywhere. It seems to be in our nature to hate others' gifts and good fortune, especially if we see them as advantages they shouldn't have.
Envy raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but we don’t possess now. Worse still, we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone's losing what we have always desired. When you compare yourself and your life unfavorably with your friend or your colleague, you can only keep your darker emotions.
So, is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to get rid of this most ungenerous emotion? Well, why not make envy the motivation you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find the qualities in others that cause your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion, their new car? Envy shows us the things we’d like to have. So, make a plan to earn what's important to you.
And aim for genuine pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special, and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.

概要Summary：
Envy is a common but unpleasant feeling, which is a secret hidden in our heart. This nature usually arises when we can't get what we want and even take delight in others' losing it. To avoid this negative feeling, firstly try to transform envy into motivation to improve ourselves. Besides, accept your unique talents gladly. Finally, appreciate others' achievements sincerely.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
I work in a market in London, just at the weekends—I’ve got a second-hand book stall—and one day I was getting my stall ready, when a lady came up and started looking at the books. She started chatting and telling me how she used to live in that part of London and how much it had changed since she'd last been in the area. While we were talking, I put out a book and she picked it up. ‘Oh, Grimm’s Fairy Tales,’ she said, ‘I had a copy of this when I was a child. I used to read it again and again.’ She began flicking through it and I carried on laying out the books, and when I looked up she was just standing there shaking, and she'd gone completely white. ‘But...but.…this is my actual book, ’she gasped, ‘look, it's got my name, Joan, in it. How on earth did you get it?’ Then she told me how there’d been a terrible fire while her family were away on holiday, and the house had been burnt to the ground. She thought all her belongings had been destroyed. She pulled out her purse to buy the book from me, but I stopped her. ‘No, no…please accept it as a gift—it's such a wonderful story.’
Now listen again.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
When shoes are made to fit your feet and nobody else's they are called bespoke shoes. Bespoke shoes say something about you, not least that you are fairly wealthy and can afford to spend about £1,500 on a pair of shoes. Bespoke shoes make a statement.
There are now only five companies in London which still make traditional bespoke men's shoes. Surprisingly, bespoke shoes for women are made in Paris. The houses for these London companies are small, dark and crowded, full of tools and rolls of leather, and with a smell that can only mean one thing: not 21st century.
Bespoke shoes are made in exactly the same way as they were 100 years ago, as the technology is completely unchanged. It still takes three months to make the first pair of shoes for a client, who must come in for at least three fittings. It is a process of gradual building. Along with the shoe, one thing that is being built is the self of the client.
The designs, like the process, have remained unchanged for a century. It is not that new fashions could not be introduced；it is simply that the clients do not want them. They want their shoes to be as they were 100 years ago.
Now listen again.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Electricity has become such an accepted part of modern life that we would be lost without it. Countless conveniences which we take for granted, such as cookers, refrigerators, TVs and lighting could not operate without a source of electric power. The situation about a modern aircraft is not different. Peter Pletcher from Frankfurt Airport is here to tell us about electricity in aeroplanes. Peter, hello.
M: Hello, and thank you for inviting me on to your programme.
W: How is an aircraft provided with electrical power, Peter?
M: Well, of course, it has to produce its own.
W: I see. How much power is usually produced?
M: Oh, yes. On a Boeing 747,325 kilowatts of electricity is produced. Did you know that if all the electrical devices installed in an aircraft were switched on at once, then 224 kilowatts of electric power would be required? That's the amount consumed by 15 private homes.
W: That is a lot. So how does the aircraft use the electricity?
M: Well, most is consumed in the kitchens. Then a further 20 percent is used by electronic, water and technical systems on board. Thirteen per cent is used for the air conditioning, five percent of the lighting, three percent for the in-flight entertainment system. The remainder is consumed by the de-icing system for the windows and the water pipes in the kitchens and toilets.
W: What about the reliability of the supply?
M: Of course, the power supply on an aircraft must not fail.
W: But surely the jet engines don't always run at the same speed.
M: Exactly. There's a device to ensure that the electricity is supplied at a uniform rate. There’s also a back-up emergency device, delivering five kilowatts of power, which is enough to operate vital systems.
W: Peter Pletcher, that was fascinating. Now we know! Thank you very much.
M: Thank you.
