Best Spring Destinations In Tibet
Peach blossom valley, Nyingchi
The peach blossoms in Nyingchi, Tibet autonomous region have been dubbed as “the most beautiful peach flowers in the world”. The annual Nyingchi peach blossom festival has become a signature tourism event on the plateau. The peach blossom valley stretches for 30 kilometers, making it one of the longest in China.
Nanyi Valley
Nanyigou scenic spot is 20 kilometers away from Milin county and is an important birthplace of the mysterious Tibetan medicine culture. The scenic area covers a total area of 820 hectares. The ecological conditions here are so good that the place is rich in various animal and plant species. Surrounded by mountains, Nanyi Valley is an ideal spring destination for visitors, where you can find peach and azalea blossoms everywhere.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world. With a total length of about 500 kilometers, its altitude spans from 7,782 meters at NamchakBarwa, the highest peak of the eastern Himalayas, to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. One unique feature of the spring sight here is that visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains at the same time.
Lulang Scenic Zone
Lulang Scenic Zone, located in Lulang town, covers a land area of 859, 000 square meters with artificial lakes.

It was Lefteris Arapakis’s first expedition on a fishing boat, and he didn’t expect what the nets would pull up. There were scorpionfish, red mullet and sea bream. But there was also a bright red can of Coke.
Arapakis, whose family had plied (定期往来) the waters near Athens for five generations, pulled the can out of the net and turned it over to look at the sell-by date stamped on the bottom —1987, seven years older than him. It had been in the Mediterranean for almost three decades.
Every day, the fishing boat — and thousands just like it on the crystalline Mediterranean — caught old bottles, plastic foam, flip-flops and other detritus (碎屑) in its nets. And every day, its crew tossed everything back into the undulating waters, only hauling back what would bring cash.
So Arapakis, now 28, had an idea: he would try to convince the fishing industry to treat plastic as a catch. In 2016, he launched a nonprofit focused on sea cleanup and fishing education called Enaleia, a play on Greek words that calls to mind sustainable fishing. Once the fishers brought the plastic ashore, he would recycle it and pay them for their trouble. Six years into the project, he has signed up more than half of Greece’s large-scale fishing fleet — hundreds of ships — to pull in the plastic they gather as they ply the Mediterranean. He plans to keep expanding globally.
This year, after Arapakis spread his efforts across Greece and much of Italy, he expects to gather nearly 200 tons of plastic — enough to fill a football field five feet high with tiny pieces of plastic. That’s more than 7,500 pounds of plastic every week. And others have taken notice: the United Nations Environment Program named him a Young Champion of the Earth in 2020 — its highest environmental honor for people under 30.
“If we hadn’t taken action, we would have had that plastic floating around the Mediterranean forever,” Arapakis said. At the beginning, convincing fishermen to join was painstaking work, requiring a lot of face time in unfamiliar villages. It wasn’t easy: The industry doesn’t always cotton to environmentalists, since many fishermen think the global plastics activists want to take away their livelihoods.
4．According to the passage, when was Arapakis probably born?
A．1987. B．1980. C．1994. D．1997.
5．Why did Arapakis want to persuade the fishers to regard plastic as a catch?
A．Because he considered the detritus pollutant.
B．Because fishers focused only on their own profit instead of sea cleanup.
C．Because he wanted to launch a nonprofit focused on sea cleanup.
D．Because he tried to educate the fishers how to deal with plastic.
6．What can we learn about Arapakis?
A．He made big profits by selling plastic.
B．He is the youngest person to receive the highest environmental honor.
C．He has taken timely action to make plastic disappear forever around the Mediterranean.
D．A lot of fishermen were unwilling to join him at first.
7．What does this text mainly talk about?
A．A bright red Coke can floating in the Mediterranean.
B．An effort of a young to dispose the plastic problem in the Mediterranean.
C．A nonprofit project aimed at sea cleanup in the Mediterranean.
D．An acute plastic problem emerging in the Mediterranean.

At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.
Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money — the satisfactions of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.
Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.
As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.
Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.
Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.
8．What’ s the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．Teachers in public schools are paid less than people in other fields in America.
B．Many teachers in the public schools are unemployed.
C．Teachers in America are paid less because they don’t teach long enough.
D．Many public school teachers in America leave school because of low salaries.
9．What might cause a teacher to quit his job according to the passage?
A．Too many classes. B．Heavy teaching burden.
C．Disobedient students. D．Lack of support from parents.
10．What does the underlined word “dwindled” mean?
A．Expanded. B．Decreased C．Changed. D．Enhanced.
11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Government officials are unwilling to change the status of the teachers.
B．Government officials have taken measures to change the status of the teachers.
C．People’s attitudes towards being a teacher in a vast society can be easily changed.
D．It has a long way for the government to go to change the teachers’ present situation.

Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones,according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies,a job market analytic company in Boston.
It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data gathering and analytic, or design using digital technology.
Burning Glass came up with the term“hybrid jobs”to describe these kinds of positions,which require skills not normally found together. For example,these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales.“The jobs of the future don’t involve just one skill,“ says Matt Sigelman,chief manager of Burning Glass.
The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028,but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What’s more,hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example, a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one,with an average yearly salary of $100,000. Moreover,an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer fora software company can more than double her pay from $180,000 to $400,000.
While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date, with only 12% possibility of being re-placed by machine,compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles,so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and,most importantly,more training after leaving college. That means workers,bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.
12．Why did the company research into job advertisements?
A．To understand the growth of best paid workers.
B．To compare workers’ experience with new abilities.
C．To find out companies’ requirements about skills.
D．To tell the possible changes in future job market.
13．Which of the following jobs can be hybrid?
A．Data engineer. B．Machine operator.
C．Marketing manager. D．Medical consultant.
14．How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year?
A．$180,000. B．$71,000. C．$41,000. D．$10,000.
15．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Future Jobs Requiring“Hybrid”Skills. B．How to Get Trained for Jobs.
C．Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs. D．The Jobs with Highest Pay.


二、七选五
Boundaries can be a frightening term, but they’re very simply the expectations and needs that help us feel safe and comfortable. Work is the relationship we spend the most time in, and yet it’s also the place where we have the hardest time setting limits. 16
Identify the boundaries you need to set. You can tell a colleague what hours you are and aren’t available and that you prefer to talk by phone rather than instant messaging. Especially with your bosses, you can show how you like feedback. For example, “I work best with clear deadlines. Can you please set one?” 17 For example, “It makes me feel uncomfortable when you share gossip at my desk.”
Think about when and how to make the statement. 18 You’d better set them as early as possible. That’s a beautiful way to show up in a new work environment with people already knowing what we can and can’t do. Moreover, it’s perfectly acceptable to set boundaries when you don’t feel good. If you get a headache when having five meetings in a day, tell yourself that four will be your maximum.
19 If you say you’re not available after six, don’t respond to the group chat. When you respond to emails or agree to look at that proposal out of those bounds, you’re teaching people that the boundary isn’t real, that it’s OK to violate it. Consistency is really key here. 20
A．Stick to the boundaries you set.
B．Don’t make response quickly.
C．Boundaries are like classroom rules.
D．Here are three steps to help you get started.
E．That might mean restating the boundary more than once.
F．You might be the inspiration that helps them set better boundaries.
G．You can even set boundaries on how you interact with people socially.

六、读后续写
47．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。
I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs, so when the annual winter recital was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.”
I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics.
When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables though, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old.

【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了草编工艺的历史和现状。
36．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：2008年被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。主语It指代“Straw weaving”，和动词list之间是被动关系，结合时间状语“in 2008”可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义，be动词用was，故填was listed。

40．考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是step，关系词在从句中作主语，且先行词被序数词the first修饰，关系代词只能用that。故填that。
41．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：接下来是编织、塑形和保存。句子描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，本句是完全倒装，主语“weaving, shaping and preserving of the work”不可数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填comes。
42．考查代词。句意：即使完成了这个过程，也并不意味着你总能创造出一件好的作品，最难的部分是让它栩栩如生。结合句意可知，此处指上文“a good piece of work”，表示单数意义，用代词it指代，故填it。
43．考查过去分词。句意：全国只有大约100个人参与这项工作。动词involve和individuals之间是动宾关系，故用过去分作后置定语，故填involved。
44．考查名词复数。句意：“世界已经变了，工匠们需要超越实用性，追求稻草文化的美和艺术性，以帮助这项工艺生存和发展，”Wu说。craftsman是可数名词，其前无限定词，故用复数形式表示泛指，故填craftsmen。
45．考查连词。句意：当被问及未来的计划时，吴说她将系统地学习当地的传统文化，并通过发展稻草编织技术来创造文化创意产品。结合句意可知，空前后是并列关系，应用and连接并列的谓语动词，故填and。
46．Dear Eric,
I’m more than happy to know you are keen on “Learning from Lei Feng”, an activity held in our school this March. More details are as follows.
With the intention of inspiring us students to follow Lei Feng’s good deeds, it involved various forms ranging from singing the song “Learn from Lei Feng”, reading Lei Feng’s Diary to making posters of Lei Feng’s stories. Some classes even offered to pick up garbage around their neighborhood while others did voluntary work at local nursing homes.
Through this activity, I firmly believe, the idea of learning from Lei Feng has been deeply implanted in our hearts.
Yours,
Li Hua

47．As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano? I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, “This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous.” Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance.
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance about the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’ m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢弹钢琴，也非常喜欢表演自己的歌曲，所以当年度冬季独奏会被取消时，作者很失望。然而，妈妈提议去 Carriage House为老年人表演时，作者欣然同意并为之积极的做准备。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由第一段首句内容“当我坐在长凳上时，我按下了钢琴的一个键，奇怪的是没有听到任何声音。”可知，第一段可描写作者表演时发现钢琴没有声音的内心的紧张以及问题解决后大家对作者的鼓励。
由第二段首句内容“紧张的情绪消失了，我开始喜欢上了和老人一起的表演。”可知，第二段可描写作者的演奏给老人带来的快乐和作者的感受。
