Restoring the peaceful spaces of Keyuan, and others, in Suzhou honors the past and keeps ancient skills alive, Wang Kaihao reports.
Students studying here two centuries ago seemed to be really enviable (令人羡慕的). First (21)_______(construct) in the 10th century as a part of a villa, the garden of Keyuan in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, was rebuilt and renewed on numerous occasions (22) _______ history until it became a Confucian academy in 1805.
It was not, perhaps, an ivory tower where hermits became entirely emerged in metaphysical thinking honoring the ancient sages. The waterscape, rockeries and flourishing willows may have ushered (引导) students to step into a "painting" (23) _______ earthly beauty and dynamics of a real world can be felt.
Keyuan, covering about 7,800 square meters, thus became the only (24) _______ (survive) example among the classical gardens of Suzhou that (25) _______ (function) as a school, whereas most of the rest were former residences.
However, its ownership changed hands several times in recent history, and the luster of the past seems (26) _______ (forget) by the passing of time after the garden was finally used as offices and storerooms. The contrast became even more regrettable (27) _______ the Great Wave Pavilion, a garden on the UNESCO World Heritage List that is just a few meters away across a narrow lane, was bustling with tourists every day.
When Keyuan was handed to He Fengchun, a veteran garden renovation designer, in 2012, her work to make "the pearl" shine again was challenging. The pond was muddy. Rocks were unstable. Plants were withering. Termites also took a toll on the buildings, the structure of which (28) _______ (damage) through decades of neglect.
"Fortunately, its basic layout remained," recalls He, the director of Suzhou Institute of Landscape Architecture Design. "Detailed research of historical files and a survey of this site can thus offer us reliable references in (29) _______ (consolidate) its structure and resuming the original landscape."
Every step in the refurbishing and decorating process has to follow historical recordings and precedent, says the designer. If relevant documentation is vague, restorers (30) _______ _______ leave certain parts untouched to retain marks left by time.
"It took just more than one year for us to actually renovate this garden, but much longer time was spent in evaluating every detail in the plan and making sure of its historical accuracy," she says.
Renovation of Keyuan was recognized with an Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation by UNESCO in 2019. A bright and elegant garden is now accessible to visitors and jointly portrays a culturally rich neighborhood with the Great Wave Pavilion.

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
The internet is changing the way we communicate. LOL, awks, amazeballs, BRB, the use of emoji and emoticon - and even writing facial expressions such as ‘sad face’- have all become standard in digital communications. So ingrained, in fact, that they're changing the way we write and even talk.
“People are becoming less concerned with grammar, spelling and sentence structure, and more concerned with getting their message across," says Gavin Hammar, CEO and founder of Sendible.
There's no doubt that the consumption of abbreviated digital content is having a huge effect on language. “Over the last five years attention spans have shortened considerably, which is reflected in the contracted forms of language we see in social media,” says Robin Kermode, founder of communications coaching consultancy Zone2.
However, some think that the internet has made us better communicators since we increasingly use much more streamlined language. “To get a message across using Twitter for example, it must be concise and must conform to the tone used there, which includes abbreviations, acronyms.
The fastest growing 'new language' in the world is emoticons (faces) and emojis (images of objects, which hail from Japan), which are one of the biggest changes caused by digital communications. “Facial expressions, visual presence and body language have always been vital to being a confident speaker, but now emojis are blurring the lines between verbal and written communication,” thinks Kermode, who adds that cavemen had early versions of emojis on the sides of their caves. “Pictures, cartoons or emojis are 'shortcuts' so we can be clear about what our message really means.”
If you mainly use emojis, why not get a keyboard-based around smiley faces and cartoon icons? That's exactly what Swyft Media recently created, and while it's more of a PR stunt the keyboards of the future will probably contain at least some emojis.
Emoticons and emojis are arguably more meaningful than slang and shorthand, which can be too easily misunderstood. “I once witnessed a girl being dumped in a text, which consisted of a message with just five letters, U R MY X' – linguistically economic, but emotionally harsh,” says Kermode. Trouble is, the sender had actually meant YOU ARE MINE. X'. “If he'd added three emojis - like a smiley face, a heart and a wedding ring, he might now be happily married!”
The same goes for a statement such as “I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU RIGHT NOW”, which needs a qualifying emoticon or emoji to give it meaning. “It could signal an angry meeting or a passionate meeting but add a coffee cup, a big smiley face or an angry face and it becomes clear what's really going on,” says Kermode.
They may be derided by traditionalists, but emoticons and emojis used to describe mood are the body language add-on that the written word has always lacked. In most instances, these icons represent language evolution and progress, not regression.

56. What does the word “ingrained” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. deep-rooted B. long-lasting C. well-equipped D. single-minded
57. Which of the following statement correctly interprets the underlined sentence but now emojis are blurring the lines between verbal and written communication in paragraph 5?
A. emojis are mixing up the spoken words and the written words in our daily conversations
B. emojis are making the differences between spoken and written communication less clear
C. emojis are in line with spoken and written expressions
D. emojis are helping spoken and written communication become more straight-forward
58. Which of the following statement is Not True?
A. People are more concerned with getting their message across rather than grammar, spelling or sentence structure.
B. The internet has made us better communicators because we are increasingly using more streamlined and concise language.
C. Emoticons and emojis can be used to describe the mood of communicators and clarify the real meaning of their message.
D. Using emojis can sometimes make the process of decoding meanings more difficult in real-life contexts
59. What Can Not be learned from the passage?
A. The internet is changing the way we communicate.
B. With images of facial expressions or objects, emoticons and emojis can be used to vividly describe mood, and thus help avoid misunderstanding.
C. Emoticons and emojis are the fastest growing “new language” and keyboards of the future will probably contain some of them.
D. Emoticons and emojis add needless meanings to language and cause misunderstandings.

B
How to know how much to tip?
New rules of gratuities
The current situation has been particularly hard on people who work for tips. Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all, while others don’t interact with customers the same way as it used to be. In either case, “Tips dried up, causing a lot of people to suffer,” says Toni Dupree, a professional etiquette coach.
Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.
Just as many services have changed, so should tipping, says Lisa Grotts, author of several etiquette books. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.
Some new rules of tipping that are likely here to stay:
Give more if you can.
It’s common for tips to be divided between all the workers at a store or restaurant, not just those who inter- act directly with customers. So giving generously ensures a fairer tip for all.
Think outside the (cash) box.
You can also “tip” with a thank-you note or a homemade gift when a business (or your budget) doesn’t permit gratuities. Consider writing a review online, making sure to name names.
As for specific situations, here’s what the experts recommend:
FOOD AND DRINKS
Restaurant workers
Old rule: Leave a tip only when you dine in.
New rule: Always tip, even for takeout.
Tip: 15 to 20 percent when you dine in, and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders.
Bartenders
Old rule: $1 per drink.
New rule: Give more, and tip after each round since bartenders often split tips with everyone on their shift.
Tip: $2 per drink, or 10 to 15 percent of the total tab.
Personal shoppers
Old rule: N/A. Many of these services, such as grocery pickup, are newer.
New rule: Tip, and do it in the app, since you are unlikely to interact directly with your shopper.
Tip: 10 to 15 percent. If a tip is already included, add a few dollars extra.

HOME DELIVERIES
Package delivery drivers
Old rule: Don’t tip.
New rule: Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week.
Tip: Drinks, snacks, or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large. Postal workers cannot accept cash or gifts worth more than $50 per year. UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists. And FedEx prohibits employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).

PERSONAL SERVICES
Ride-share drivers
Old rule: Tip in cash.
New rule: Ask your driver. The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities, but some drivers prefer cash.
Tip: 15 to 20 percent.
Hairstylists
Old rule: 10 percent.
New rule: Extra cleaning protocols mean extra work. Acknowledge that with a bigger tip.
Tip: 15 to 20 percent, plus $5 to $10 for an assistant who shampoos your hair.
Hotel housekeepers
Old rule: Tip at the end of your stay.
New rule: Many hotels now do housekeeping by request only, so tip every time you ask them to come.
Tip: A few dollars per night, plus $5 for any extra requests, such as asking for additional toiletries.
Next time you’re unsure whether a gratuity is in order, follow this simple rule: When in doubt, tip. The novelist George Eliot asked, “What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds: “Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”

60. According to the experts, tipping rules has been changing because of ________.
A. the attempt of not trying to be cheap as a customer
B. the significant improvement in living standards
C. the hardships service workers suddenly faced during pandemic
D. our always being waited on in all aspects of life
61. Which of the following statements about tips is TRUE?
A. Tips are only for the one who serves you in a restaurant.
B. FedEx employees are happy to get apple store gift cards for tips.
C. If the cost of hairstyling is $30, the total tips are supposed to be about $10.
D. Personal shoppers should tip 10 to 15 percent of the total bill in cash.
62. The underlined word “gratuities” probably means ________.
A. gifts B. thanks C. cards D. tips

C
Throughout human history, the sun has been worshipped as a symbol of life and power. The ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Hittites, Persians, Aztecs, and Incas held annual celebrations, performed rituals, and made sacrifices to sun gods and goddesses.
The sun is the most abundant source of energy in the solar system. Every day, 173,000 terawatts of energy — 100,000 times more energy than humans use — strike the earth in the form of sunlight. Sunlight consists of visible light; ultraviolet light, which is responsible for the production of Vitamin D in our skin; and infrared radiation, which heats the air, water, and ground, and constitutes nearly 50 percent of the total solar radiation reaching the earth. Without the sun, life on Earth would not exist. One would think that all that free, available energy would have been harnessed long ago, but only in recent decades have people taken a serious interest in the sun as a source of alternative renewable energy.
So far, the world has relied on wood, oil, coal, and natural gas to produce energy for heating, lighting, transportation, and manufacturing. Since the 1950s, world consumption has been increasing persistently. In the year 2000, 80 percent of commercial energy was generated from the combustion of fossil fuels, and every day, 50 million barrels of oil are reined（支配）and converted to gasoline and other fuels. In addition to the rapid exhaustion of fossil fuels, the consequences of high consumption rates are pollution and global warming.
Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have been causing global temperatures to rise, with the greatest increase occurring in the last decade. In the 1990s, global CO2 emissions rose by 1.3 percent per year. Between 2000 and 2006, annual CO2 emissions increased to 3.3 percent, and since then they have been accelerating. To meet the 50–60 percent increase in energy demand by 2030, as predicted by the International Energy Agency, and to prevent the disastrous effects of global warming, people have been looking to the sun.
The most practical form of solar energy is passive solar energy, which occurs when natural light floods in through windows or is absorbed by stone or concrete walls. In 1956, the world’s first commercial solar building was constructed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by engineers Frank Bridgers and Don Paxton. Considered ahead of its time, architect Francis Stanley’s design provided for large sloping south-facing windows to capture infrared radiation, following the same principles used by the ancient Romans to heat their bathhouses. Passive solar energy is now being incorporated into environmentally friendly building designs, which include double- or triple glazed windows and insulated walls and ceilings to trap heat, Trombe walls painted black to maximize the absorption of infrared radiation, and mirrors or fiber optics to enhance natural lighting.
The most recognizable solar technology, photovoltaic (PV) cells, convert direct sunlight into electricity. Developed in 1941, the modern silicon PV cell, or solar cell, is a wafer (晶片)made of two layers of crystalline silicon, a semiconducting material derived from sand or quartz. When sunlight strikes a PV cell’s surface, electrons are knocked out of place, creating an electrical current. Solar cells are joined together to form units, which are combined into panels sandwiched between sheets of glass within an aluminum frame. PV panels, which work best in direct sunlight, can be mounted on tracking devices to follow the sun’s movement. Solar panels are assembled into solar arrays; the larger the array, the greater the energy output.
63. According to the second paragraph, we may learn that _______.
A. The sun gives out 173,000 terawatts of energy into space.
B. The sunlight is composed of visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation and invisible light.
C. One might think that all this free, usable energy of sunlight has long been used.
D. Even decades ago people thought energy of sunlight renewable.
64. How long has the world been in high speed of burning fossil fuel for energy?
A. For half a century. B. For nearly sixty years.
C. For over 70 years. D. For more than a century.
65. What principle can be applied to meet the increasing energy demand according to the passage?
A. Commercial Solar Building Principle. B. Passive Solar Energy Principle.
C. Large Sloping South-facing Windows Principle. D. Black Wall Principle.
66. What’s the working principle of silicon wafer in obtaining solar energy?
A. Deriving semiconducting material from sand or quartz.
B. Tracking the sun’s movement.
C. Assembling as many solar panels as possible for more energy.
D. Knocking electrons out of place by means of the strikes of sunlight.







Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Fang writes that the pursuit of beauty is productive.
B. Fang writes that compared to the previous generations' family-centered consumer attitudes, women today are becoming more and more conscious of their own needs.
C. She aims to capture the coziness of women's homes and their lifestyles through the camera.
D. Fang shares her journey and tips from a woman's perspective.
E. The length of life may be limited, but the depth and breadth can be expanded indefinitely.
F. It is because of their financial and emotional independence that women today are more concerned with self-improvement and self-fulfillment.
A new book named You Are What You Wear, written by fashion blogger Fang Yimin, who has more than 30 million followers on social media, was released offline on May 14.
Fang, who's widely known as Becky Li, talks about her experience and gives advice on "living beautifully" to readers in the book that she spent eight years writing. The book is a summary of 2,400 posts that Fang published in her blog on WeChat that she started in 2014, as well as the text of some public speeches, focusing on topics of common concern to modern women, such as "beauty quotient", workplace survival, emotional management and self-growth.
(67)_____________________________________________________ "The long-winded path and the tumble I took, the thrill and joy of growing up over the years are all in this book," she says.
Whether it is a fashion tip such as "finding your own style and details that affect your vibe", or money management strategies such as "my moneymaking skills and a few things that changed my perception of money", or self-management methods at work and in life such as "what entrepreneurship taught me, and how to overcome procrastination and learning to live with anxiety", Fang's insights at different stages of her life are incorporated in the book, which she hopes will inspire female readers while allowing them to explore their own hidden potential and pursue a better life.
(68) _______________________________________________________ She argues the process of discovering and pursuing beauty itself is a process that nourishes the body and mind. In her opinion, the value of something lies in the enhancement of its quality. Every piece of clothing, skincare or furniture has a unique meaning, even if it is not that deep, as long as it can bring happiness to people. Shopping should not be narrowly seen as a simple way of feeding emotions, rather she encourages people to spend rationally and within their means.
(69) _______________________________________________________ "From a lipstick to a car, to a space that is entirely her own, we can clearly feel that Chinese women are becoming more and more aware of pleasing themselves, and more and more capable of doing so," she says.
(70) _______________________________________________________ Consumption is just a set of figures, a small part of life, and countless women make efforts to the path of independence. The influencer understands that beauty is not just appearance, dressing or makeup, but it is also about growing and discovering oneself, the attitude toward life and the understanding of it.


IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 
There’s a longstanding debate on how to reduce emissions in the trucking industry. Germany is testing out a new system — eHighways, which feed electricity to trucks while they drive.
Figuring out how to reduce emissions in the commercial trucking industry is key to the fight against climate change. Because long-haul diesel(柴油机) trucks spend so much time on the road, they disproportionately produce pollutants, greenhouse gases, and contribute to dirty air.
Germany is at the forefront of this fight against truck emissions.
Using wires strung above the highway and a pantograph (current collector) mounted to the top of a truck, Germany’s eHighways use technology similar to that of an electric city bus. The system delivers power directly from the electrical line straight to the truck’s motor.
Adapting the same equipment that is used for driving trains and urban street cars, Siemens, the German electricity company, provided the equipment for the test route — stringing miles of high-voltage electrical cable above the Autobahn.
The eHighway system saves truckers weight and money compared to outfitting trucks with electric batteries — which could be both heavy and expensive. Using overhead wires on the freeway, a truck would only need a big enough battery to drive the short distance from the offramp to its destination. Not to mention, the money trucking companies would save on fuel, their largest cost.
While this system saves money in the long term, stringing thousands of miles of electrical cable above freeways would be costly to German taxpayers. Is it feasible? For now, Germany is just testing it out. The eHighway system has also been tested in Sweden and a 1-mile stretch near Long Beach, California.
It would take 2,500 miles of electrical wiring to accommodate about 60% of German truck traffic. So far, only a couple 3-mile-stretches of highway outside Frankfurt, Schleswig-Holstein, and Baden-Württemberg are equipped with overhead electrical cables. By the end of the year, more than 20 trucks carrying real loads will be using the system. The companies funding the project want to see how the eHighway stretch performs in everyday use.
Building the overhead cables would cost the German government about $5 million dollars per mile. Germany’s Ministry of Environment will compare the results of this project with studies of trucks using electric batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. Based on the data, the ministry plans to decide in three to four years which eco-friendly technology to invest in and support.
“Numerous studies have come to the conclusion that overhead cable trucks, despite the high infrastructure costs, are the most cost-effective option,” the Ministry of Environment said to The New York Times.
No matter which option the ministry chooses, the goal is to create a more environment-friendly future for the commercial trucking industry.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and short passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) 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.
For the first time, scientists have grown plants in moon soil collected by NASA's Apollo astronauts.
The scientists had no idea if anything would grow in the moon dirt. They wanted to see if it could be used to grow food by the next generation of moon explorers. The results surprised them.
The researchers planted thale cress, a small flowering plant, in moon soil returned from the Apollo missions. The good news was that all of the seeds grew. The bad news was that after the first week, the lunar soil stressed the plants so much that they grew slowly. Most of the moon plants ended up small or not fully developed.
The longer the soil was exposed to radiation and solar wind on the moon, the worse the plants seemed to do. The soil collected by the Apollo 11 mission was the least helpful for growth. It was exposed a couple billion years longer to the elements, the scientists said. They also believe this is a big step forward to know that you can grow plants. And the real next step is to go and do it on the surface of the moon.
Only 382 kilograms of moon rocks and soil were brought back by the six Apollo crews that landed on the moon. Most of them are still locked away, forcing researchers to experiment with soil made of volcanic ash on Earth.
Early last year, NASA finally gave out 12 grams of soil to the University of Florida researchers for the planting experiment. NASA said the timing for such an experiment was finally right, with the space agency looking to put astronauts back on the moon in a few years.
Questions:
17. What’s the bad news about the plant growing in lunar dirt?
18. Why was the soil collected by the Apollo 11 mission the least helpful for growth?
19. Why did NASA finally give out lunar soil to researchers for experiment?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Like many other migrant workers on construction sites across the nation, He Chuan mixes concrete and lays bricks throughout the day. Unlike most, however, he has taken the trouble to document elements of his daily life through livestreaming. Adopting the online name Brother Chuan, he has gained celebrity status online.
He, from Sichuan province, 52, has spent many years as a migrant worker on building sites around China, like 25 million Sichuan farmers leaving the fields for similar jobs in cities across the country.
Now back in his hometown, He continues to spread his construction work with vlogging, setting up his camera to livestream his lunch breaks before an audience of hundreds, sometimes thousands. His wife Tang Wenshu partners up with him during the sessions, which mostly revolve around the food they are eating and comments on construction work.
Without any professional camera or technical training, the couple have recorded their simple daily lives since 2018, drawing nearly 2 million followers with over 1,000 vlogs across social media platforms.
"Although I'm neither handsome nor knowledgeable, I am optimistic and I love working," says He, who has worked in construction for around 30 years.
The couple's "studios" are always situated in buildings that are under construction. With bricks as chairs and storage boxes as tables, the pair is seen laughing and eating in front of the camera.
He says he is happy that viewers appreciate his attitude toward life and how construction work has paid off.
He was nervous about livestreaming initially, he says. However, his followers, the majority of whom are migrant workers and students, have provided great support.
From the online comments and private messages, He has found that viewers are mostly inspired by his devotion to work, as well as caring about his quality of life.
Questions:
14. What are He’s vlogs mainly about?
15. How long has He livestreamed his life on construction sites?
16. Why do He’s vlogs attract so many followers?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M : Hi, Jane. What’s up? I haven’t seen you for ages.
W: Nickolas! Fancy running into you here. Do you have time for a cup of coffee?
M: Sure. We really need to catch up. Do you work around here?
W: At the dress shop across the street. I’m a sales assistant for the time being, but I’m hoping they’ll promote me to buyer after I have some experience on the floor.
M: Oh—I know that shop. Their clothes are so fashionable and different from the run of the mill. You look fantastic—I bet their sales have gone up since you started working there.
W: Well—I try! The thing is, I enjoy the work, because I love the clothes, and I like helping people find what works for them. It’s actually quite fulfilling.
M: Good for you. And I think the idea of becoming a buyer is great. Before you know it, you’ll be working on your own designs. I remember how you used to dream of being a fashion designer.
W: Yeah, and I think this is a step in the right direction. Now, what are you up to? The last I heard, you were about to move across country. I hope you’re back to stay!
M: As a matter of fact, I just got back a couple of months ago. I’m glad I went, because now I know I really want to be here. I’m working as a waiter right now but am hoping to get a teaching job. I’ve applied to most of the local school districts so have my fingers crossed I’ll get something this fall.
W: What do you want to teach? I’ve heard there are openings for high school teachers in Howard County.
M: No way! I haven’t even applied there. I’ll do it as soon as I get home. Man, that’ll be awesome if they need a biology teacher. Thanks for the tip! Which reminds me—waiting tables isn’t all bad. On weekends I get pretty good tips. And banking on the info you just gave me, I think I’ll follow you back to work and buy myself a new dress!
W: Great. I already have in mind some things for you to try on.
Questions:
21. Why does Nickolas know the dress shop where Jane works?
22. Where did Nickolas go before coming back?
23. What was Jane’s dream job long ago?
24. Why does Nickolas say “waiting tables isn’t all bad”?

Germany is experimenting on eHighways, an emission-reducing system that provides electricity to trucks directly through power line along the road. It helps to cut truck’s weight and energy expenses in the long run, but the cables are still costly at the beginning of construction. However, researches have proved eHighways the most cost-effective one compared to other solutions. (58)
