阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答題纸上将该项涂黑。

A

Swiss designer Didier Rudolf Quarroz's love of Chinese tea culture has inspired him to design innovative new items to brew the tea. Quarroz developed an interest in Chinese tea after working at a Shanghai-based design company, where he was by chance engaged in a tea project.

His research helped him develop a deep understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western tea products. And this made him think about designing items for foreigners to brew Chinese tea. 4i hope to design easy-to-use and modem tea-making tools to help foreigners try Chinese traditional tea and give them an interesting experience in brewing tea/' Quarroz says.

In 2017, he moved to Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province and a major tea-production base, to explore the possibilities of applying Western concepts in designing objects for Chinese tea. “I want to focus on the tea industry, and Hangzhou is a great fit because of the long history and profound culture of tea here,” Quarroz says.

Quarroz began to concentrate on the design of a tea inftiser (注射器）to make brewing easier for foreigners. It’s a glass container with a silicone (桂胶)lid. All users need to do is to put the leaves inside, place it in a cup and add hot water.J, The infuser can be taken out from the cup easily without users’ fingers being hurt by the hot water,” Quarroz says.

Hangzhou has a booming tea industry, which has offered the Swiss designer many opportunities to cooperate with local plantations and companies. “Driven by the love of Chinese tea, I cooperate with local companies and help them to develop new kinds of tea products. Also, we sometimes organize workshops to introduce different teas to the public,” Quarroz says.

Hangzhou also enables smooth business operations, he adds. “In general, it is easy to start a business in Hangzhou. And the government and agencies are increasing efforts to help and support young entrepreneurs, including us from foreign countries,” he adds. Quarroz says he plans to design 10 innovative tea-related products by combining Chinese tea culture with international elements.

21. Quarroz's new items have the following features EXCEPT _____________.

A. being designed by hand

B. using Western concepts

C. making brewing easier for foreigners

D. providing interesting brewing experiences

22. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to the_____________.

A. container B.infuser    C. lid    D. leaf

23. What makes Hangzhou an ideal place for Quarroz to start a business in China?

A. Quarroz obtained many chances to cooperate with state-owned companies,

B. Hangzhou features a newly-built tea industry and has abundant tea projects.

C. Hangzhou organizes many workshops to introduce different teas to the public.

D. Quarroz can receive much help and support from the government and agencies.

24. What type of writing is the passage?

A. A biography.    

B. A news story.

C. A travel journal.    

D. An advertisement.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Being enthusiastic about something means being excited about a given project. Enthusiasm involves having a strong interest in the task at hand. If you decided to learn a new language,which is not easy anyhow, you would have to dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to the cause. Anything less would result in failure.

What is real enthusiasm? In your pursuing success, enthusiasm means that you believe deeply in what the company is doing. You also believe that your job is important and contributes to the cause. It means that you’re willing to make every effort to achieve the company’s goals. Real enthusiasm is when you leap out of bed in the morning and attack your day with much enthusiasm and energy. You have great enthusiasm for the work you do and the people you work with. This pushes you to improve and become a better person. Enthusiasm means that you are stimulated by your work, and are able to find new challenges and keep growing professionally.

Furthermore, most jobs have some elements that are less fun and more difficult to carry out. This is where passion really comes into play. Passion helps you get ahead. Enthusiasm about a job or project usually translates into positive energy. That is, if you are excited about a project, you will be anxious to get started and get results. The mere fact of looking forward to your work will help make you more productive and effective. You will plan more effectively and pay careful attention to detail. You will carry out your plan more carefully and aim for the best results possible.

Increase your enthusiasm. Most men aren’t bom great_they become great. Similarly, not everyone is the enthusiastic type that falls in love with their work. However, do not despair. There are ways to become more passionate.

25. What’s the purpose of quoting Emerson’s saying at the beginning of the passage?

A. To introduce the topic.

B. To arouse readers’ enthusiasm.

C. To illustrate Emerson’s influence.

D. To summarize great people’s enthusiasm.

26. What is the author’s attitude towards enthusiasm?

A. Objective. B. Negative.    C. Positive.    D.Indifferent,

27. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A. Benefits of enthusiasm.

B. Significance of enthusiasm.

C. Good ways to boost passion.

D. Success stories of passionate people.

C

Dolphins are much more intelligent than humans previously thought. Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins can recognise themselves in the mirror一muchlike you and I can!

When you see a spot on your face, what do you do? Go to the mirror time and again, andwonder what it is still doing there. Well, this is exactly what two male bottle-nosed dolphins,Presley and Tab, do as well. So, these lovable aquatic animals are not just sailors’ friends，but they are also aware of their bodies—almost like humans!

A Reuters news agency report in The Telegraph says that Presley and Tab stay in a pool with reflective glass walls in the New York Aquarium. Researchers in the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Osbom Laboratories of Marine Science noticed that when Presley and Tab saw their own reflections, they did not seem to think that they were looking at another dolphin.

Dolphins are very social creatures, and are friendly with humans as well as their own kind. This got the researchers thinking. Perhaps the dolphins recognised their own images? So they decided to find out. Using non-toxic ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins9 bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their bodies were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual. If the ink marks were on their tummies (肚子），they would expose their tummies to the mirror and look at them for a long time.

Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Imagine the dolphins wondering—“Now where did that

mark come from? I wonder how long it’s going to stay?”

Till now, only the great apes like the chimps, the gorillas and the orangutans have displayed this quality of recognising their images in the mirror. All other animals have failed this test.

The researchers feel that these findings may increase human sensitivity towards dolphins,which are being hunted and slaughtered in great numbers. Dolphin fins (鳍) are considered as delicacies in several South-East Asian countries.

28. Which behaviour does NOT show dolphins recognise their own images in the experiment?

1. Exposing their marked parts to the mirror.

B. Making more trips to the mirror than usual.

C. Looking at themselves in the mirror for a long time.

D. Wondering about the reasons for the marks on their bodies.

29. The example of great apes is used to indicate that _______________.

A. dolphins are as intelligent as great apes in a way

B. dolphins are as good at socializing as great apes

C. animals tend to be aware of their bodies in the mirror

D. animals can be trained to recognize their images in the mirror

30. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. Dolphins in the Mirror

B. Animal Intelligence in the Mirror

C. Scientific Assumption of Dolphins

D. Human Sensitivity Towards Dolphins

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is a long-standing argument in scientific circles over how to classify viruses. They're alive because they multiply, have genes and evolve. Yet they^re not alive as they don?t have cells and can’t survive on their owil Viruses have one mission: to find a host and use it to reproduce， eventually causing the host’s cells to burst and die. __31__ Fortunately, as we know a greatdeal about how viruses do their damage, we know how to avoid them. These facts are a good place to start.

You can get some viruses more than once.

There’s a popular myth that once you’ve had a vims, you’re not likely to be affected again. That?s not always the case, says Kathleen Dass, an allergist and immunologist. When you get a virus, your body builds up antibodies (抗体）to fight it. Those antibodies stay in your system, helping you avoid fixture infections.   __ 32__    However,    not    everyone    makes enoughantibodies and they may wear off over time, which is why you need more shots of some vaccines. In addition, viruses can change, making your antibodies ineffective against a new kind.

You can be infectious without ever showing symptoms.

Some viruses, including COVID-19 and AIDS, can be spread via asymptomatic people (they never have signs of the illness) and presymptomatic people (they don’t have symptoms yet)，according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Some people may be super spreaders, infecting dozens to hundreds of other people without even realizing it. __33__ 

You can be charged for knowingly spreading some viruses.

__34__ But please stay home when you feel ill because you could be charged if you were to knowingly infect someone with an incurable virus, such as HIV or herpes. For instance, the singer Usher has been charged by his partners for not mentioning his herpes. Similarly, the actor Charlie Sheen has been charged twice for exposing women to HIV without telling them. 

Don’t ask for antibiotics for your viral infection.

Antibiotics (抗生素）kill bacteria，but they don’t work on viruses at all.__35__ In fact, researchers found that so many people are convinced that antibiotics will help their viralsymptoms that up to one third of all antibiotic prescriptions (处方）are unnecessary.

1. This is also how vaccines work.

B. Many people doubt if antibiotics are a cure-for-all.

C. That’s why viruses that infect humans always cause illness.

D. It is not a wise choice to hang out if you know you’re infected.

E. So take measures to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.

F. Still many doctors report feeling pressured by patients who insist on them despite a viral infection.

G. It’s unlikely that anyone will take you to court for passing on the viruses to people around the office.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Many animals use camouflage (保护色)to make them harder __56__ (see). Hunters suchas leopards do this so that the animals they want to eat don’t see them and run away. Prey animals such as deer use camouflage to avoid __57__ (eat).

Will Allen at the University of Bristol is enthusiastic about why animals such as cats have different patterns. For example, why are a leopard's spots different from __58__ of a cheetah (猎豹)？ In __59__ attempt to find out the reasons, he decided to use a mathematical technique called “reaction-diffosion' He also tatod to scientists from many __60__ (psychological), engineering and computer science. In this way, he could compare camouflage patterns with the animals’ behaviors and habitats much more __61__ (accurate).

Will has discovered that the patterns __62__ (connect) with the environment. Cats that live in forests with many trees have more complicated patterns and cats __63__ (spend) more time in trees have more irregular patterns. Will concludes that cats’ camouflage depends on __64__ they live and how they hunt. Evolution has created the most suitable pattern for eachparticular hunter. Will’s studies mean we can predict a big cat’s habitat and lifestyle __65__ looking at the patterns of its fur.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之成为一个完整的故事。  

Smile for the Camera

He had beautiful features, half-Arab and half-African: large almond-shaped brown eyes and a delicate nose. His hair was black，cut short For a refttgee (难民），he was in good shape physically, though dirty and barefoot.

He stood in front of my camera and stared. “You will find my parents,” he ordered. “I can’t promise,” I replied and focused the camera on his face, “Smile.” “Then I can’t smile.” I snapped a photo of the boy and wrote down his vital information: Maiga Fotana，age 10; his parents’ names; his village. “Bye，” I said when I finished and he walked away silently.

Until sundown, I shot pictures of hundreds of children. We would post their pictures wherever we could in the war-affected country, hoping someone would recognize a little face and come to the camp to claim the child.

The next morning，Maiga was first in line. “Did you find my parents?” he asked, “No，” I said，“I just took your picture yesterday. I haven’t even developed it yet.’，

“My parents will be looking for me, so I need to take another picture，” he said I loaded my camera. “One photo is enough，” 1 said, “We’ll make copies and post them all over. Besides， I don’t have enough film (胶卷). I can’t take two photos of everyone!” He drew close to me. I could see flecks of green in his eyes. “We won’t tell others,” he whispered. He winked. I shookmy head. “Bye,” he said.

The next day，he came and tilted his head，“I want to help you，” he said, “I can write names.”He took his place next to me. Maiga had beautiful hand-writing, square and even. He spoke toeach child with authority as he wrote down their information. As each child left, Maiga said, “Bye.”

One day, hundreds of people came to our camp. They held photos in their hands with hope in their wide dark eyes. They strained their necks to see through the crowds. They called out names.

All the aid workers gathered to watch as adults and children ran to each other, crying and embracing. I saw family after family brought together, and I felt delighted and moved as well.

第二节读后续写（满分25分）

Paragraph 1:Then I noticed Maiga standing at the edge of the group, watching. Tears poured from his eyes and his mouth was parted in a silent cry. I rushed to him and he sobbed into my chest. “They’ll come. It’s just the first day!” I hugged him and he melted against me. It must have been months since someone had held him this tight. I let him hold on until he was ready to let go. In the following days, Maiga was usually quiet and withdrawn. Sometimes, though, he wasanimated, almost happy, and he talked about his family, his village and his school.

Paragraph 2: Two weeks later, an aid worker came with a man who looked just like Maiga. “Maiga!” Icould barely whisper the name. Maiga was busy writing names. “Maiga!” The familiar sound made him look up. His mouth dropped open and his pen slipped out. He squeaked as he stood up and threw himself into his father’s open arms. I watched with tears all over my cheeks. Maiga then smiled at me and said eagerly，“You will miss me!” I nodded，trying to stop my sobs. “I’ll definitely miss you!” he shouted. I wanted to take a photo of his smile, but no film could have captured the happiness I saw on his face.
