The first time I came to Beijing, I barely spoke a word of Chinese and had no idea about what it would mean to live in a new country.
I went on adventures in supermarkets, thinking: “What is this place, with hundreds of noodle types but only two brands of steak?” I walked around to get a better sense of the city. I would start a morning near Houhai, which was amazing with commercial walkways. From there, I would wander into hutongs, the narrow paths that wind their way from one end of old Beijing to the other. The elderly women, known as damas, sat on chairs outside their doorsteps. Occasionally, a man on a bicycle would pass by. To any newcomer, Beijing seemed like a ever-growing city contrasted with its calm surroundings and a pace of life seemingly unchanged for decades.
However, everything in Beijing has in fact changed. The Olympics started the construction of more subway lines, a new airport, many high-speed railway routes, and many other projects. In the years since, Beijing has continued to transform at an amazing speed. I had no idea that the 2018 Beijing I was seeing was just a snapshot(快照) of the city' s fast-paced turnover.
When I returned three years later for another research project, I found that my picture was entirely outdated, although the relaxed damas still sat on their chairs. Bike-sharing companies had come and gone. The folks who had previously been roasting lamb meat in food stands on the streets were distributing the groceries for an online shopping platform company. The group of old men who swam in Houhai was only half in number.
Some believe that because they have wandered its darkest hutongs and been to its grandest palaces, they have a chance of knowing Beijing, but locals only laugh at the attempt.
4. How did the author feel about Beijing when he first came?
A. It brought him much delight. B. It frustrated him all the time.
C. It presented a contrasted sight. D. It was packed with old traditions.
5. Who might be the author of this passage?
A. A visiting scholar to Beijing. B. A student from the rural village.
C. A central government official. D. A businessman working in Beijing.
6. What do we know about damas?
A. They adjust to the changes rapidly. B. They have moved to other places.
C. They lead a busier life than before. D. They seem unchanged through years.
7. Why do locals laugh at the attempt to understand Beijing?
A. Locals will provide varied answers. B. It will be an effort in vain.
C. Visitors may easily be confused. D. Misunderstanding will arise in no time.
C
Today, methane(甲烷) is a central but under-appreciated part of the fight against climate change. Human activity releases far less methane than carbon dioxide, but methane packs a heavier punch. Over the course of 20 years, a ton of the gas will warm the atmosphere about 86 times more than a ton of carbon dioxide. Chief among the reasons for methane emissions(排放) are the gassy output of raising farm animals (cows release it most), rice production (certain environments involve micro-organisms that make it) and the fossil fuel industry(pipelines leak it) .
Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for centuries, making it hard to reduce its concentrations. By contrast, methane has a half-life of roughly ten years. If new emissions can be cut to below the rate at which old emissions reduce, the concentration of methane remaining in the atmosphere will soon fall, slowing global warming.
A big step would be to stop millions of tons of methane from leaking out of fossil fuel industry each year. Natural gas operators will be able to sell more gas in exchange for an acceptable investment so as to monitor and repair leaks. The International Energy Agency estimates that 40% of methane emissions from fossil fuels can be cut at no cost for firms.
The harder task is to reduce emissions from agriculture, but even here farmers can draw on new ideas, including developing new forms of feed for farm animals, and changing how rice field is irrigated.
However, politicians and the public tend to ignore the effects of cutting methane emission. But dealing with the gas with the efforts of the ordinary people would have a large effect at a relatively low cost.
8. What do we know about methane from the first two paragraphs?
A. Raising farm animals releases most methane.
B. A ton of methane will warm 86% of the atmosphere.
C. It drops faster than carbon dioxide if its emission cuts.
D. Fossil fuel is the fundamental cause of methane emission.
9. How can natural gas operators do to help?
A. By selling more gas. B. By turning to fossil fuels.
C. By repairing the leaks. D. By exchanging for investment.
10. What might be discussed if the passage continues?
A. Why politicians ignore the effects of cutting methane.
B. What ordinary people can do to cut methane emission.
C. Which method of cutting methane is at the lowest cost.
D. How we can reduce emissions from the agriculture industry.
11. What might be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Banning the Use of Methane
B. Cut Methane Emission, Now
C. Methane — Solution to Clear Air
D. The Relation of Methane and Carbon Dioxide
D
We all know how important personal interaction is in family and friends. It is also crucial at work. It is the foundation on which happiness and successful results are built.
A study found a correlation (相关性) of 0.92 between employee happiness and their relationships with colleagues. The correlation between their happiness and relationships to directors was only 0.74.Since you may spend more time with coworkers than with your directors, personal interaction in a group, especially a new one, deserves much attention. Whenever people involve in a new company or organization, they need to get to know each other to be comfortable in working together. This does not mean just memorizing names, and team icebreakers are the way to begin.
To everyone except the most eager and outgoing few, icebreakers are a necessary evil. They are supposed to make awkwardness disappear, but forced icebreakers often make events even more tense. However, the benefits of icebreakers far outweigh(超过) any negatives. They can take care of introductions in a much more fun way than just simply going around the room and stating what's on your business card. When done right, icebreakers can quickly build a sense of community, set the tone for the upcoming session and share participants’ expectations of the days ahead. It helps participants to get involved, understand each other more and enable better cooperation and networking. Last but not least, it is a practical way to cheer the group up and have everyone focused and ready to go.
The best icebreakers should be tailored for a particular situation: icebreakers for a private company often have a different design from a non-profit organization and finding the right one for your purpose can help them be successful.
12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Happiness is affected more by those closer to us.
B. Directors should care more about workers’ happiness.
C. Memorizing colleagues’ names is of great importance.
D. Finding the coworkers you are comfortable with is hard.
13. What does the underlined phrase “a necessary evil” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Something that is needed though people may not like it
B. Something that must be involved in the new companies.
C. Something that creates a strange atmosphere among people.
D. Something that does great harm to companies in the long run.
14. How does the author think about icebreakers?
A. Objective. B. Opposed.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
15. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The characteristics of icebreakers.
B. The general introduction of icebreakers.
C. The common application of icebreakers.
D. The methods to choose proper icebreakers.

Today, methane(甲烷) is a central but under-appreciated part of the fight against climate change. Human activity releases far less methane than carbon dioxide, but methane packs a heavier punch. Over the course of 20 years, a ton of the gas will warm the atmosphere about 86 times more than a ton of carbon dioxide. Chief among the reasons for methane emissions(排放) are the gassy output of raising farm animals (cows release it most), rice production (certain environments involve micro-organisms that make it) and the fossil fuel industry(pipelines leak it) .
Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for centuries, making it hard to reduce its concentrations. By contrast, methane has a half-life of roughly ten years. If new emissions can be cut to below the rate at which old emissions reduce, the concentration of methane remaining in the atmosphere will soon fall, slowing global warming.
A big step would be to stop millions of tons of methane from leaking out of fossil fuel industry each year. Natural gas operators will be able to sell more gas in exchange for an acceptable investment so as to monitor and repair leaks. The International Energy Agency estimates that 40% of methane emissions from fossil fuels can be cut at no cost for firms.
The harder task is to reduce emissions from agriculture, but even here farmers can draw on new ideas, including developing new forms of feed for farm animals, and changing how rice field is irrigated.
However, politicians and the public tend to ignore the effects of cutting methane emission. But dealing with the gas with the efforts of the ordinary people would have a large effect at a relatively low cost.
8. What do we know about methane from the first two paragraphs?
A. Raising farm animals releases most methane.
B. A ton of methane will warm 86% of the atmosphere.
C. It drops faster than carbon dioxide if its emission cuts.
D. Fossil fuel is the fundamental cause of methane emission.
9. How can natural gas operators do to help?
A. By selling more gas. B. By turning to fossil fuels.
C. By repairing the leaks. D. By exchanging for investment.
10. What might be discussed if the passage continues?
A. Why politicians ignore the effects of cutting methane.
B. What ordinary people can do to cut methane emission.
C. Which method of cutting methane is at the lowest cost.
D. How we can reduce emissions from the agriculture industry.
11. What might be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Banning the Use of Methane
B. Cut Methane Emission, Now
C. Methane — Solution to Clear Air
D. The Relation of Methane and Carbon Dioxide

We all know how important personal interaction is in family and friends. It is also crucial at work. It is the foundation on which happiness and successful results are built.
A study found a correlation (相关性) of 0.92 between employee happiness and their relationships with colleagues. The correlation between their happiness and relationships to directors was only 0.74.Since you may spend more time with coworkers than with your directors, personal interaction in a group, especially a new one, deserves much attention. Whenever people involve in a new company or organization, they need to get to know each other to be comfortable in working together. This does not mean just memorizing names, and team icebreakers are the way to begin.
To everyone except the most eager and outgoing few, icebreakers are a necessary evil. They are supposed to make awkwardness disappear, but forced icebreakers often make events even more tense. However, the benefits of icebreakers far outweigh(超过) any negatives. They can take care of introductions in a much more fun way than just simply going around the room and stating what's on your business card. When done right, icebreakers can quickly build a sense of community, set the tone for the upcoming session and share participants’ expectations of the days ahead. It helps participants to get involved, understand each other more and enable better cooperation and networking. Last but not least, it is a practical way to cheer the group up and have everyone focused and ready to go.
The best icebreakers should be tailored for a particular situation: icebreakers for a private company often have a different design from a non-profit organization and finding the right one for your purpose can help them be successful.
12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Happiness is affected more by those closer to us.
B. Directors should care more about workers’ happiness.
C. Memorizing colleagues’ names is of great importance.
D. Finding the coworkers you are comfortable with is hard.
13. What does the underlined phrase “a necessary evil” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Something that is needed though people may not like it
B. Something that must be involved in the new companies.
C. Something that creates a strange atmosphere among people.
D. Something that does great harm to companies in the long run.
14. How does the author think about icebreakers?
A. Objective. B. Opposed.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
15. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The characteristics of icebreakers.
B. The general introduction of icebreakers.
C. The common application of icebreakers.
D. The methods to choose proper icebreakers.
答案：12. A 13. A 14. C 15. B

Dear Peter,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
答案：Dear Peter,
I’m more than delighted to hear from you. Knowing your awesome project, I can’t agree more. As for your letter asking for my advice, I’m writing to share you with my experience.
Firstly, it’s suggested that you should make a survey among the students in your school, which can give you a definite direction. Besides, you’re supposed to recruit students who are also enthusiastic about Chinese traditional culture to cooperate together. Finally, it’s a good idea that you can host some activities such as calligraphy exhibition, tea ceremony and paper-cutting etc.
I do hope my proposals will be of great value. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Lihua
