Representatives from around China gather in Beijing every five years for the National Congress of the Communist Party of China(中共二十大).
This year, a total of 2,296 representatives were elected to attend the 20th National Congress of the CPC, which convened (召开) on Oct 16.
◆What do the representatives do?
The Congress will review the work of the CPC over the past five years, map out the course for the future, and elect a new central leadership.
The representatives will reflect the opinions and demands of Party members and the public, discuss and decide on the Party’s major issues, and elect new central leadership and a new top anti-graft watchdog (反贪监察机构)
◆Who can become a representative
The representatives are elected from 38 electoral units across the country. They are outstanding Party members who are highly qualified both ideologically (意识形态上) and political, have a good work style and high moral standards, are skilled in discussing State affairs, and have great achievements in their work.
Among the representatives are Party members in leadership positions and those working on the front lines. Women and people from ethnic minority (少数民族) groups as well as people with backgrounds in economics, science and technology, political and legal affairs, education, culture, health and sports, among others, all have representation.
This ensures Party members at the grassroots level are more effectively represented when representatives make decisions on the Party’s key issues at the Congress, according to China Daily.

B. every fifth year
C. every fourth year
D. every few years

In many films, whenever the Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always leaving the planet by spaceship. But an amazing Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea.
In the film, which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, the Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun. Humans around the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push the Earth away from the Sun. Instead of leaving the Earth behind, this time we're taking it with us.
This idea didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a special emotion towards their "homeland" in their hearts and minds. One old saying is "luo ye gui gen", which means returning to one's homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their trees. Or look at an ancient poem: "The season called the White Dew(白露) begins tonight. Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright." These both show the strong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland.
This is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films. "What Chinese sci-fi?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "Films that can really express our cultural and spiritual core(精神核心) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we're just copying others and telling the same American stories."
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story. The film was screened on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year in 2019. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometown. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: The Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.
24.What can we know about The Wandering Earth from the passage?
A. It follows the latest film fashion.
B. It is based on Liu Cixin's book.
C. It is a film copying foreign movies.
D. It offers us a new experience of watching films.
25.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The suitable season when the film was screened.
B. The famous poems mentioned in the film.
C. The common points between Chinese films and foreign films.
D. The cultural background of the film.
26.Why did the makers choose the first day of Chinese New Year to put on the film?
A. It was the Spring Festival and many people had time to see it.
B. Many old people wanted to return to their hometown.
C. It can arouse many people's common feelings at that time.
D. Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day.
27.What can we infer from Guo Fan's words?
A. Chinese sci-fi films should have their own features.
B. The Wandering Earth tells a foreign story.
C. The American sci-fi fails to express its culture.
D. Sci-fi films should express certain spiritual cores.
C
Scenes of comic characters swelling (肿 ) up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet with those who have a severe peanut allergy(过敏反应).
Their confusion can be explained by the results of a new Chinese study. It found that Chinese adults and children are more likely to be allergic to seafood and less likely to be allergic to peanuts, compared to people in Europe and the US. The difference means that cultural, dietary(饮食的) and environmental factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns. The study was published in late August in China CDC Weekly, which was established by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
In another recently published study in China CDC Weekly researchers found that the prevalence (流行) of food allergies in the population was 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, up from 5 percent from 1999 to 2008. It thus indicated that the prevalence of food allergies in China is on the rise.
Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor at Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital, said during an interview with media outlet YXJ.org.cn that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observed worldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles and eating habits, as well as growing health awareness and diagnostic (诊断) ability.
For consumers, reading allergen labels(过敏标签) on food packages is an easy way to protect themselves from allergy triggers (诱因)
However, food allergen labeling in China currently is optional and labeling largely follows an international standard that includes eight major food types such as milk, eggs, and fish and shellfish, which may not be suitable for Chinese consumers. “China has made improvements in setting up food labeling standards in recent years, and we hope our findings can accelerate (加速)the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future,” Chen Hongbing, one of the researchers at Nanchang University, told China Daily.
28.What is the function of writing paragraph 1?
A. To introduce food people are commonly allergic to
B. To make a comparison between different allergies.
C. To describe typical allergy symptoms.
D. To introduce a study about allergies.
29.What can we learn from the two recent studies?
A. Chinese are less likely to have allergies than Westerners
B. More Chinese suffer from food allergies than before.
C. Fewer Chinese are allergic to sea food than in 2008.
D. Allergies are mainly caused by dietary factors.
30. What do we know about current food allergen labeling in China?
A. It cannot be read on all food packages.
B. It strictly follows and international standard.
C. It shows only eight major food types.
D. It is not popular with food producers.
31. What’s Chen’s attitude to the future of labeling food allergens in China?
A. Positive B. Doubtful C. Worried D. indifferent
D
Electric vehicles are close to the “turning point" of rapid mass adoption thanks to the decreasing cost of batteries, experts say.
Global sales of electric vehicles rose 43% in 2020, but even faster growth is expected when continuing falls in battery prices result in the price of electric cars under the same petrol and diesel (柴油)models, which may happen between 2023 and 2025. According to a study by Prof Tim Lonton, at the University of Exeter, the turning point has already been passed in Norway, where tax breaks(税收减免) mean electric cars arc cheaper and the market share of battery-powered cars increased to 54% in 2020 in Norway, compared with less than 5% in most European nations.
The falls in battery prices in the last decade have been dramatic and faster than predicted thanks to a massive production and cuts in costs, such as reducing the amount of expensive cobalt (钻)required. BloombergNEF's analysis predicts lithium-ion(锂离子) battery costs will fall so sharply that electric cars can match the price of petrol and diesel cars by 2023. McKin-sey's Global Energy Perspective 2021, published on 15 January, forecasts that "electric vehicles are likely to become the most economic choice in the next five years worldwide".
Electric cars, vital in efforts to fight climate crisis, are quieter and start to go faster, so people do not want to return to a petrol or diesel vehicle once they have one. A survey of 2,000 electric car owners found 91 % said they did not want to go back.
“The survey shows the strong and lasting impact of switching to a clean car. The evidence in favor of electric vehicles grows more convincing even in a year as destructive as 2020," said Melanie Shufflebotham, at Zap-Map, which maps charging points.
32.What leads to the growing sales of electric vehicles?
A. The rise in petrol prices. B. The desire for a lower tax.
C. The drop in battery costs. D. The need for a cleaner life.
33.What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Policies in Norway support electric vehicles.
B. Economy in Norway outgrows other nations.
C. The market share of electric vehicles will decline.
D. The tax breaks in Europe will continue to increase.
34. How will electric vehicles equal fuel vehicles in price?
A. By increasing the demand for cobalt.
B. By boosting the sales of electric cars.
C. By reducing the production of batteries.
D. By cutting the costs of lithium-ion batteries.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A. People do not tend to use a petrol vehicle.
B. Electric vehicles have a strong impact on our daily life.
C. The prices of battery are decreasing because of electric vehicles.
D. The prospect of electric vehicles will be improving because of the falls in the battery prices.

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
As a baby, I was spoiled, for my parents gave me whatever I wanted. I would play with a toy for a while, get bored, and ask my parents for a new one. Then my dad died when I was 2, and I got even more stuff as my mom, friends, and family gave me more and more stuff to try to make me feel better. My mom continued to treat me to everything I wanted until I was seven and my world crashed.
It was a moment when the real estate (房地产) market crashed. My mom had thought buying houses was a good idea as a way to invest her money to take care of us. After the crash, I went from the kid who got a fine iPod and who had the coolest house, to almost having nowhere to stay.
Ever since then, when I would ask for a new toy or bike, or even to see a movie, my mom would say “I’m sorry, honey, but we really can’t afford it.” But my mom had grown up in a family where money was never a problem, so this change was as big for her as it was for me. My constant requests for toys and video games deepened her concern about our financial situation. But I wasn’t used to hearing “no.” So, for a year or two, I kept asking for things whether I really needed them or not.
Then something happened that would change my way of thinking forever. My mom had been working really hard all the year, just to pay for the necessities, like our rents, and water and power bills. When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said that I wanted a new video gaming system. I didn’t know that it was expensive. All I knew was that my friends had them and that I wanted one, as well.
Paragraph 1：On my birthday, I started opening presents, sure to get what I asked.________________________

Coming-of-Age Ceremony
In order to celebrate us turning 18, a coming-of-age ceremony was held in our school. Anyone who had turned the age of majority joined in it.
As scheduled, the ceremony started at 9.a.m. last Friday, which lasted 2 hours. At the beginning of the ceremony, the headmaster delivered a speech to celebrate us being grown-ups. Following this , we held a party and talked about what we would be doing in the future.
All the students think highly of it, for not only does it make us aware of what the age of majority means, but also it has us understand what responsibility we should take on.
续写：
Paragraph 1：
On my birthday, I started opening presents, sure to get what I asked for. As I opened the last gift box, I found nothing other than a pair of jeans, which made me speechless. My mom could tell how disappointed I was and she started crying. I looked at her, approaching her, and hugged her harder than I had ever hugged anyone before. At that moment, I could feel my mom had made great efforts to meet my needs. I realized how hard she was working and that she couldn’t afford to give me anything I didn’t need.
Paragraph 2：
From then on I wouldn’t ask for anything that I didn’t need. I learned the difference between what I wanted and what I needed. I learned to appreciate the toys or games I did have and took good care of them. I had grown up and I could solve the problem by myself, so when I wanted a new iPod, I had to work to buy it. The feeling of having truly earned something was one of the best feelings in the world. I was also grateful to my mother, who had given me all she could give.

M: Vatican Radio recently began its first regular news broadcast in Latin. The broadcast is the latest effort to expand the use of Latin. The weekly Vatican Radio news broadcast lasts five minutes. It will be followed by a 30-minute show with Latin conversation. The radio’s news team, as well as the Vatican’s Latin translation department, will produce the program. Italian businessman Luca Desiata published a new book of crossword puzzles in Latin and ancient Greek this month. This book is thought to be the first with no help or explanations in modern languages. Desiata said the Internet has helped renew interest in Latin as more and more schools around the world stop teaching it. He said we now have Wikipedia in Latin, and about 40 Latin Facebook groups around the world. Many attempts have been made to bring Latin back to popular use. Some have tried to introduce new words for things that did not exist at the time of the Roman Empire. In the 1990s, for example, top Vatican Latin researcher Carlo Egger came up with some words for common objects in the home. Maybe given time, the dead language will come back to life.
续写范文：
Paragraph 1：
On my birthday, I started opening presents, sue to get what I asked for. As I opened the last gift box, I found nothing other than a pair of jeans (指出礼物的内容) , which made me speechless. My mom could tell how disappointed I was and she started crying. I looked at her, approaching her, and hugged her harder than I had ever hugged anyone before (“我”由失望到理解母亲的情感转变). At that moment, I could feel my mom had made great efforts to meet my needs. I realized how hard she was working and that she couldn’t afford to give me anything I didn’t need (呼应伏笔).
Paragraph 2：
From then on, I wouldn’t ask for anything that I didn’t need. I learned the difference between what I wanted and what I needed (呼应伏笔). I learned to appreciate the toys or games I did have and took good care of them. I had grown up and I could solve the problem by myself, so when I wanted a new iPod (呼应伏笔), I had to work to buy it (以上描写“我”行为的转变). The feeling of having truly earned something was one of the best feelings in the world. I was also grateful to my mother, who had given me all she could give. (主旨升华)

Representatives from around China gather in Beijing every five years for the National Congress of the Communist Party of China(中共二十大).
This year, a total of 2,296 representatives were elected to attend the 20th National Congress of the CPC, which convened (召开) on Oct 16.
◆What do the representatives do?
The Congress will review the work of the CPC over the past five years, map out the course for the future, and elect a new central leadership.
The representatives will reflect the opinions and demands of Party members and the public, discuss and decide on the Party’s major issues, and elect new central leadership and a new top anti-graft watchdog (反贪监察机构)
◆Who can become a representative
The representatives are elected from 38 electoral units across the country. They are outstanding Party members who are highly qualified both ideologically (意识形态上) and political, have a good work style and high moral standards, are skilled in discussing State affairs, and have great achievements in their work.
Among the representatives are Party members in leadership positions and those working on the front lines. Women and people from ethnic minority (少数民族) groups as well as people with backgrounds in economics, science and technology, political and legal affairs, education, culture, health and sports, among others, all have representation.
This ensures Party members at the grassroots level are more effectively represented when representatives make decisions on the Party’s key issues at the Congress, according to China Daily.

In many films, whenever the Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always leaving the planet by spaceship. But an amazing Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea.
In the film, which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, the Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun. Humans around the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push the Earth away from the Sun. Instead of leaving the Earth behind, this time we're taking it with us.
This idea didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a special emotion towards their "homeland" in their hearts and minds. One old saying is "luo ye gui gen", which means returning to one's homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their trees. Or look at an ancient poem: "The season called the White Dew(白露) begins tonight. Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright." These both show the strong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland.
This is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films. "What Chinese sci-fi?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "Films that can really express our cultural and spiritual core(精神核心) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we're just copying others and telling the same American stories."
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story. The film was screened on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year in 2019. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometown. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: The Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.
24.What can we know about The Wandering Earth from the passage?
A. It follows the latest film fashion.
B. It is based on Liu Cixin's book.
C. It is a film copying foreign movies.
D. It offers us a new experience of watching films.
25.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The suitable season when the film was screened.
B. The famous poems mentioned in the film.
C. The common points between Chinese films and foreign films.
D. The cultural background of the film.
26.Why did the makers choose the first day of Chinese New Year to put on the film?
A. It was the Spring Festival and many people had time to see it.
B. Many old people wanted to return to their hometown.
C. It can arouse many people's common feelings at that time.
D. Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day.
27.What can we infer from Guo Fan's words?
A. Chinese sci-fi films should have their own features.
B. The Wandering Earth tells a foreign story.
C. The American sci-fi fails to express its culture.
D. Sci-fi films should express certain spiritual cores.
C
Scenes of comic characters swelling (肿 ) up after eating peanuts in Western TV shows have long been puzzling for many Chinese viewers, as few people in China meet with those who have a severe peanut allergy(过敏反应).
Their confusion can be explained by the results of a new Chinese study. It found that Chinese adults and children are more likely to be allergic to seafood and less likely to be allergic to peanuts, compared to people in Europe and the US. The difference means that cultural, dietary(饮食的) and environmental factors can play an important role in food allergy patterns. The study was published in late August in China CDC Weekly, which was established by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
In another recently published study in China CDC Weekly researchers found that the prevalence (流行) of food allergies in the population was 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, up from 5 percent from 1999 to 2008. It thus indicated that the prevalence of food allergies in China is on the rise.
Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor at Fudan University’s Huashan Hospital, said during an interview with media outlet YXJ.org.cn that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observed worldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles and eating habits, as well as growing health awareness and diagnostic (诊断) ability.
For consumers, reading allergen labels(过敏标签) on food packages is an easy way to protect themselves from allergy triggers (诱因)
However, food allergen labeling in China currently is optional and labeling largely follows an international standard that includes eight major food types such as milk, eggs, and fish and shellfish, which may not be suitable for Chinese consumers. “China has made improvements in setting up food labeling standards in recent years, and we hope our findings can accelerate (加速)the process of making such labeling compulsory in the near future,” Chen Hongbing, one of the researchers at Nanchang University, told China Daily.
28.What is the function of writing paragraph 1?
A. To introduce food people are commonly allergic to
B. To make a comparison between different allergies.
C. To describe typical allergy symptoms.
D. To introduce a study about allergies.
29.What can we learn from the two recent studies?
A. Chinese are less likely to have allergies than Westerners
B. More Chinese suffer from food allergies than before.
C. Fewer Chinese are allergic to sea food than in 2008.
D. Allergies are mainly caused by dietary factors.
30. What do we know about current food allergen labeling in China?
A. It cannot be read on all food packages.
B. It strictly follows and international standard.
C. It shows only eight major food types.
D. It is not popular with food producers.
31. What’s Chen’s attitude to the future of labeling food allergens in China?
A. Positive B. Doubtful C. Worried D. indifferent
D
Electric vehicles are close to the “turning point" of rapid mass adoption thanks to the decreasing cost of batteries, experts say.
Global sales of electric vehicles rose 43% in 2020, but even faster growth is expected when continuing falls in battery prices result in the price of electric cars under the same petrol and diesel (柴油)models, which may happen between 2023 and 2025. According to a study by Prof Tim Lonton, at the University of Exeter, the turning point has already been passed in Norway, where tax breaks(税收减免) mean electric cars arc cheaper and the market share of battery-powered cars increased to 54% in 2020 in Norway, compared with less than 5% in most European nations.
The falls in battery prices in the last decade have been dramatic and faster than predicted thanks to a massive production and cuts in costs, such as reducing the amount of expensive cobalt (钻)required. BloombergNEF's analysis predicts lithium-ion(锂离子) battery costs will fall so sharply that electric cars can match the price of petrol and diesel cars by 2023. McKin-sey's Global Energy Perspective 2021, published on 15 January, forecasts that "electric vehicles are likely to become the most economic choice in the next five years worldwide".
Electric cars, vital in efforts to fight climate crisis, are quieter and start to go faster, so people do not want to return to a petrol or diesel vehicle once they have one. A survey of 2,000 electric car owners found 91 % said they did not want to go back.
“The survey shows the strong and lasting impact of switching to a clean car. The evidence in favor of electric vehicles grows more convincing even in a year as destructive as 2020," said Melanie Shufflebotham, at Zap-Map, which maps charging points.
32.What leads to the growing sales of electric vehicles?
A. The rise in petrol prices. B. The desire for a lower tax.
C. The drop in battery costs. D. The need for a cleaner life.
33.What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Policies in Norway support electric vehicles.
B. Economy in Norway outgrows other nations.
C. The market share of electric vehicles will decline.
D. The tax breaks in Europe will continue to increase.
34. How will electric vehicles equal fuel vehicles in price?
A. By increasing the demand for cobalt.
B. By boosting the sales of electric cars.
C. By reducing the production of batteries.
D. By cutting the costs of lithium-ion batteries.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A. People do not tend to use a petrol vehicle.
B. Electric vehicles have a strong impact on our daily life.
C. The prices of battery are decreasing because of electric vehicles.
D. The prospect of electric vehicles will be improving because of the falls in the battery prices.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
As a baby, I was spoiled, for my parents gave me whatever I wanted. I would play with a toy for a while, get bored, and ask my parents for a new one. Then my dad died when I was 2, and I got even more stuff as my mom, friends, and family gave me more and more stuff to try to make me feel better. My mom continued to treat me to everything I wanted until I was seven and my world crashed.
It was a moment when the real estate (房地产) market crashed. My mom had thought buying houses was a good idea as a way to invest her money to take care of us. After the crash, I went from the kid who got a fine iPod and who had the coolest house, to almost having nowhere to stay.
Ever since then, when I would ask for a new toy or bike, or even to see a movie, my mom would say “I’m sorry, honey, but we really can’t afford it.” But my mom had grown up in a family where money was never a problem, so this change was as big for her as it was for me. My constant requests for toys and video games deepened her concern about our financial situation. But I wasn’t used to hearing “no.” So, for a year or two, I kept asking for things whether I really needed them or not.
Then something happened that would change my way of thinking forever. My mom had been working really hard all the year, just to pay for the necessities, like our rents, and water and power bills. When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said that I wanted a new video gaming system. I didn’t know that it was expensive. All I knew was that my friends had them and that I wanted one, as well.

Coming-of-Age Ceremony
In order to celebrate us turning 18, a coming-of-age ceremony was held in our school. Anyone who had turned the age of majority joined in it.
As scheduled, the ceremony started at 9.a.m. last Friday, which lasted 2 hours. At the beginning of the ceremony, the headmaster delivered a speech to celebrate us being grown-ups. Following this , we held a party and talked about what we would be doing in the future.
All the students think highly of it, for not only does it make us aware of what the age of majority means, but also it has us understand what responsibility we should take on.

W: So which of the three are you best at?
M: It’s the first.
W: How do you recommend that people develop their teaching skills? Is there a good resource for developing these skills?
M: The best resource is feedback from colleagues. I like listening to my colleagues for advice. Also, one should attend conferences in the field, read books about teaching and try out new things. I spend most of my leisure time reading.
W: So why did you become a teacher in the first place?
M: It’s because I really loved teaching. Though there is a huge amount of work for me every week, I enjoy my work.
W: So how long have you been teaching?
M: I’m thirty-eight now, which means I’ve been teaching for ten years.

M: Vatican Radio recently began its first regular news broadcast in Latin. The broadcast is the latest effort to expand the use of Latin. The weekly Vatican Radio news broadcast lasts five minutes. It will be followed by a 30-minute show with Latin conversation. The radio’s news team, as well as the Vatican’s Latin translation department, will produce the program. Italian businessman Luca Desiata published a new book of crossword puzzles in Latin and ancient Greek this month. This book is thought to be the first with no help or explanations in modern languages. Desiata said the Internet has helped renew interest in Latin as more and more schools around the world stop teaching it. He said we now have Wikipedia in Latin, and about 40 Latin Facebook groups around the world. Many attempts have been made to bring Latin back to popular use. Some have tried to introduce new words for things that did not exist at the time of the Roman Empire. In the 1990s, for example, top Vatican Latin researcher Carlo Egger came up with some words for common objects in the home. Maybe given time, the dead language will come back to life.

Paragraph 1：
On my birthday, I started opening presents, sue to get what I asked for. As I opened the last gift box, I found nothing other than a pair of jeans (指出礼物的内容) , which made me speechless. My mom could tell how disappointed I was and she started crying. I looked at her, approaching her, and hugged her harder than I had ever hugged anyone before (“我”由失望到理解母亲的情感转变). At that moment, I could feel my mom had made great efforts to meet my needs. I realized how hard she was working and that she couldn’t afford to give me anything I didn’t need (呼应伏笔).
Paragraph 2：
From then on, I wouldn’t ask for anything that I didn’t need. I learned the difference between what I wanted and what I needed (呼应伏笔). I learned to appreciate the toys or games I did have and took good care of them. I had grown up and I could solve the problem by myself, so when I wanted a new iPod (呼应伏笔), I had to work to buy it (以上描写“我”行为的转变). The feeling of having truly earned something was one of the best feelings in the world. I was also grateful to my mother, who had given me all she could give. (主旨升华)
