I have never forgotten a strange thing that happened to me years ago. I injured my ankle 36
learning to play tennis. One evening at a friend’s house I was introduced to a(n) 37 who
was said to have the gift of 38 .
He put a rough hand on my 39 ankle for a few minutes, then lifted it. The pain was
gone and the bandage loosened. 40 , the ankle was healed. I was amazed, and in my
41 , I offered him money.
“Oh, no,” he said politely, “no money for a gift so 42 given to me by God. And anyway,
I’m made 43 by what I give.”
That 44 stayed with me, and never more forcefully than some 20 years later when I
acted Franklin D. Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello. That play is about the young FDR’s 45
with polio (小儿麻痹症). It begins in 1921 when he first contracted the disease and 46 in 1924
when he took 10 painful steps from wheelchair to platform to deliver an important speech.
After a 47 in Philadelphia, I was leaving the theater when I saw a young man still
sitting in a seat. I asked him if he was all right. He said, “I’m just waiting for everyone to 48 .
I’m going to try ten steps.”
I noticed he was a(n) 49 of polio. Like FDR.
Suddenly he 50 hard on the arms of his seat, pushed himself up, grabbed the railing
behind the seat, then shook on his nearly lifeless legs. 51 , with great pain, he took one step,
then another, and 52 aloud, “Three!… Four!…” until he yelled, “Ten!”
“So you see,” he said, “what your performance 53 to me.” On his way out, the young
man waved a farewell. “You have a great 54 , Mr. Bellamy. Thank you.”
From that day on I had an entirely new 55 of the actor’s talent. It is a gift. The words
of the carpenter echoed in my head: “I’m made rich by what I give.”
At that moment I never felt richer.
36. A. before B. while C. after D. once
37. A. carpenter B. doctor C. actor D. editor
38. A. communicating B. acting C. healing D. debating
39. A. unprotected B. trapped C. equipped D. taped

TEST KITCHEN
Know-how
In-depth: mushrooms
Mushrooms make a great addition to your cooking, but which supermarket variety works best
in which dishes?
White Button
The prefix “button” is used to describe small-sized
mushrooms. It’s applied to a few varieties, but mostly to
white. Button mushrooms are best left whole or halved, and
are the variety you should add to a warming stew or chicken
casserole (砂锅).
Closed Cup
These medium-sized white mushrooms are the most common
type. They’re a good all-rounder, and can be eaten raw in
salads or fried for sauces or stuffing.
Open Flat
Large and white, their size and shape makes them ideal for
roasting whole—meaning they’re great mushrooms to use as
a vegetable alternative to a meat burger.
Chestnut These brown mushrooms are interchangeable with closed
cup, but have a slightly deeper flavour. Great on pizzas.
Portobello These are best for stuffing and baking, but their meaty texture
makes them a great toast choice when sliced and fried.
Shiitake Japanese in origin, these mushrooms are slightly oaky. Best
for meat soup and soupy noodle dishes in East Asia.
Oyster With an oyster shell shape, these are easier to tear than slice,
and work well in pasta dishes and stir-fries.
King Oyster New to shops, this mushroom has a thick, meaty stem that can
be sliced and fried like meat.
56. Which mushroom is probably a good choice in a recipe for Chinese meat soup?
A. Open Flat. B. Portobello. C. Shiitake. D. King Oyster.
57. In terms of varieties, which are the two types that are closely related?A. Portobello and Shiitake. B. Oyster and King Oyster.
C. Open Flat and White Button. D. Chestnut and Closed Cup.
B
The number of Americans struck with mysterious, vaping-related lung illnesses is rising.
Indiana health officials confirmed the state’s first death from a vaping-related lung illness, bringing
the national toll to three, after two such deaths in Illinois and in Oregon. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that the number of people in the US sickened with a
severe lung illness linked to vaping (电子水烟) has more than doubled to 450 possible cases in 33
states, including three deaths confirmed in connection with these illnesses and a possible fourth.
Many of the patients are teens or young adults. All patients reported using e-cigarettes and many
used the devices to vape marijuana.
So far, the cause of the illnesses is unknown: no single vaping device, product or substance has
been tied to all of the cases, said Dr Dana Meaney-Delman, the manager of the CDC’s investigation.
Officials believe “chemical exposure” is likely to be behind these illnesses, but much more
information is needed.
The CDC announcement coincided with the release of several new reports on vaping-related
illnesses. One, published in The New England Journal Of Medicine, describes 53 patients from
Wisconsin and Illinois who developed respiratory (呼吸道的) symptoms after vaping. Most of these
patients were young, male and healthy prior to their illness. Patients had symptoms such as shortness
of breath, coughing and chest pain, vomiting, fever and weight loss. All of the patients had vaped
within the previous three months, and 84 per cent reported vaping marijuana products.
The report seems to suggest that vaping-related lung illnesses are a new phenomenon, and not
something that simply went undetected in the past. The rate of monthly emergency room visits for
severe lung illness in young adults was twice as high in June to August 2019 as the same months in
2018, the study found.
The CDC recommends that people consider not using e-cigarettes while the investigation is
ongoing, and e-cigarettes should not be used by children or adolescents, young adults, pregnant
women or adults who currently don’t use tobacco products.
58. Why does the author consider the vaping-related lung illnesses mysterious?
A. Many suspected cases and deaths have arisen all of a sudden.
B. No specific device or chemical has been confirmed in connection.
C. There is no cure for the disease and the victims may well bitterly die.
D. Such cases and deaths are distributed in states distant from each other.
59. What can we infer from the coincidence between CDC announcement and several new
reports?
A. Illinois is the state that has the largest number of victims in the US.
B. The vaping-related lung disease is totally arbitrary and out of control.
C. There may exist a close bond between the illness and vaping experience.
D. Officials from CDC and authors of the reports have figured out the causes.
60. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Alarm at Vaping Devices B. Dangers of Lung Diseases
C. Shock of Mysterious Deaths D. Young Adults Under Threat
C
Looking back, if I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be to appreciate the summer holidays more. It doesn’t matter how beautiful the weather is if the only time you get to experience
it is on a 15-minute lunch break. When I worked full-time in an office, I would feel the pain of this
as colleagues with kids jetted off for a summer break and I was left to work. I felt as though my life
came second to theirs, but I’ve come to realize this time was actually a gift.
① Let me explain. So much of our working week finds us rushing to meet deadlines
and please bosses. We have a long list of things that have to be achieved and we can get so lost in
all of these that we forget to do the other things that can boost both our careers and productivity.
The summertime, however, sees managers on holiday and an attitude of “nothing will get decided
on until September”, which means this is the perfect time to focus on you.
② The main thing I’ve learned over my years of working is to use this period to
recharge, even if you’re not actually on holiday. I vividly remember complaining to a friend once
of being bored during August. After she’d rolled her eyes at this non-problem, she suggested that
perhaps this time was slow because I was supposed to be focusing on something other than work. I
could leave on time and have life outside of the office. Making time to see my friends or finally
seeing the exhibitions I’d been putting off for months recharged me, and when the break ended, I
was ready for it.
③ So much of our working life is about relationships, yet we sacrifice these to raise
productivity. It may be more beneficial to a work relationship to take a colleague for a coffee, but
it’s quicker to fire off an email, so we do that. In the summer, suggesting a walk in the sunshine,
while you talk about how to deal with that tricky client, suddenly seems like the best way to work.
The-hopefully-warm weather makes all of us unreserved, so use this to your advantage. Are there
people you’ve really wanted to meet but they’ve always been too busy?
④ And finally, if you already know that, come September, you’re going to start
pushing for that pay rise or new job you promised yourself, then now is the time to ensure that
you’ve got all the evidence to make your case. Offering to be the point of contact for projects
when your boss is away can give you the experience you need to take the next step. Use the summer
wisely and, by the end of it, you’ll be the employee with a new plan of action and a contacts book
filled with new best friends.
61. The reason why the author counts a summer break as a gift is that ________.
A. it provides a chance to escape from loads of heavy work
B. much attention can be paid to oneself and self-refreshment
C. it is a perfect time to jet off and spend holidays with kids
D. work can be postponed to September for absence of managers
62. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The exhibition. B. The experience. C. The break. D. The work.
63. Where would the sentence “Summer brings out everyone’s social side.” best fit ?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
64. According to the author, what is the benefit of being “the point of contact for projects”?
A. Filling in the gap colleagues have left.
B. Catching up on pleasures you have missed.
C. Recharging yourself with much energy.
D. Developing new friendships and action plans.
D
Detective fiction is something that gained popularity comparatively later than all other genres in literature. There might be some works that existed in historic time that could now be identified
as detective fiction, but the works that were introduced solely as this genre began with the writings
of Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins. Of course, today when we talk about detective fictions, the
works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie come foremost. Their stories are those that have
given an edge to this genre due to its popularity.
Being a passionate reader of Doyle and Christie, I would like to draw a comparison between
the styles used by Doyle in Sherlock series and Christie in her mystery thrillers. Both of them use a
specific pattern for their detective stories. Doyle mostly develops the story from a helpless client’s
visit to 221B Baker Street. All the accounts of the cases are narrated by Watson except two pieces.
Christie’s works in a way look completely different as the stories and settings are varied and quite
unique. But we can always see that there is a basic formula in her works. A murder happens and all
the characters in the plot, mostly people around the victim, have something to be suspected of, some
secrets that they hold back, all of which are set up to totally confuse the reader.
Christie’s novels are all about “who is the murderer”, but while reading Sherlock a reader is
more interested in knowing how Sherlock finds the criminal. It is the method Sherlock employs to
deduce the facts and to connect the dots that readers await to know. This can be understood just by
thinking how every Sherlock reader waits for that part where Sherlock explains the facts to Watson
who shares the reader’s ignorance. When we reach the same crucial point in Christie’s works, what
our eyes search for is the name—the name of the murderer. All the explanations, logic and reasoning
interest us only later.
Christie has used various types of narrative techniques in different novels. There has been a set
of novels where there is omniscient narration (叙述者全知), others with Hastings (Hercule Poirot’s
assistant) as the narrator, and even some in first-person narrative. She introduced many detectives,
Poirot being the most popular. On the other hand, Doyle had only Sherlock as detective in his novels
and stories. But he had started a new series portraying a new character “Professor Challenger” which
didn’t become as popular as Sherlock series.
Both the writers worked on the principles of science, logic and psychology. When compared,
Sherlock stories seem more realistic as they are not as dramatic as Christie’s novels. But the element
of psychology is more explored by Christie. Often her detective believes in sitting in a chair and
thinking to solve the mystery, rather than running around collecting clues. It is because her
detectives work by analyzing the hidden psychology rather than explicit actions. Sherlock is an
active detective who works hard in finding clues, wouldn’t mind devising a little drama or an act of
disguise (伪装) for it.
Both of them have created logically credible stories, but somewhere or other Sherlock ones are
close to life, because they portray not only murder but also seemingly simple human issues.
Christie’s works are more engaging, but the act of making up the plot—the purposeful concealing
and revealing—is somewhere visible. But it is undeniable that she never fails to entertain her readers.
While reading Sherlock, we forget Doyle and our whole attention is on Sherlock, and sometimes
we end up feeling he is a real individual rather than a fictional character. But in Christie’s works
somehow, we feel it’s she who is working, rather than Poirot, which is why she became the “queen
of crime” and not her characters. Thus, in a way Agatha Christie outshines her characters and
Sherlock Holmes outshines his creator. But both ways Doyle and Christie gifted their fans excellent
detective stories to involve themselves in and enjoy all their life.65. In terms of detective fictions, Doyle and Christie are foremost mentioned because ________.
A. they are considered as the founding fathers of detective fictions
B. they worked together and created many famous detective figures
C. it is Doyle and Christie that made detective fictions well received
D. it is their works that made detective fictions superior to other genres
66. Which of the following may be typical Christie’s works?
A. Novels with a specific opening pattern with a focus on deducing facts.
B. Thrillers with varied and unique settings to make plots more confusing.
C. Fictions in which there is a fixed character responsible for unfolding the story.
D. Detective stories in which victims and suspects are closely related to the detective.
67. When reaching crucial points in Christie’s works, readers tend to give priority to ________.
A. the details of the crime B. the motive behind the crime
C. the personality of the criminal D. the identity of the criminal
68. A new character “Professor Challenger” brought about ________
A. a disappointment for Conan Doyle B. another hit with detective fans
C. an abrupt decline in Sherlock’s appeal D. an inspiration for Agatha Christie
69. How do Doyle and Christie make their stories reasonable?
A. They refused to display mystery in the stories.
B. They stuck to first-person narrative techniques.
C. They applied knowledge of different fields.
D. They included detailed accounts of explicit actions.
70. What kind of detective may Hercule Poirot be?
A. One who is good at discovering secrets in human mind.
B. One who is active in searching for and connecting clues.
C. One who lays emphasis on both actions and psychology.
D. One who sometimes plays tricks and even cheats suspects.

No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to change your life for the better. It is really
important to learn how to make changes on both the inside and outside to feel more fulfilled, happy,
and at peace.
Remember that your reality is a result of the things you do every day, from what you eat for
breakfast to where you go to work or school. If you’re going to change your life’s circumstances,
you will have to change the things you do every single day.
Whether you are in school, working, job hunting, volunteering, or traveling, take a look at your
life and decide if it agrees with your values. No matter how much money you make or how great
your accomplishments are, you will not be able to enjoy your success if you don’t have loved ones
to share it with.
Some people are more likely than others to get stuck in the comfortable and familiar routine.
Regardless of your embarrassments or fears of change, humans need variety to be happy. You
should practice this on a small scale on a daily basis as well as on a larger scale.
With life’s circumstances improved, the best way you feel happier about your life is to stop
constantly thinking of negative memories and worrying about the future. No matter what you have,
where you are, or who you’re with, your understanding of your circumstances is more important
than the circumstances themselves. However, don’t compare your own life with other people’s lives. Part of what makes people
feel unhappy with their own lives is the comparison they make with the lives of those around them.
The tendency is to compare the low points of your own life with the positive points of other people’s
lives.
Exercising regularly not only keeps you looking your best, but it will also strengthen your
heart, reduce your likelihood for certain diseases and give you more energy.
Remember that you are what you eat. Whether you want to lose weight or simply improve your
overall health, what you eat matters.
Makeovers aren’t just about looking better. The simple act of getting a haircut or buying
different clothes can make you feel like a new person. Whether you’re unhappy with your look or
simply bored with it, try to mix things up.
Figure out specifically what you want to change about your life, and then figure out the barriers
that are in your way getting there. Finally, plan specific and measurable steps that you can take to
achieve your goals.

81. 请阅读下面文字及图片，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。Mr Duman, 29-year-old, lives at the
Humanitas care home in Deventer, in
central Holland. His housemates’ average
age is over 85. He has been there for three
years, along with five other students from
nearby universities and around 150 elderly
residents. They are part of a project
starting in 2012 that provides them with
free housing in exchange for 30 hours per
month of their time living as a “good neighbour”. Only one activity is compulsory: preparing and
serving a meal on weekday evenings.
Such projects could help fight loneliness, an increasing problem across the world. The very
old, migrants, the sick or disabled, and singletons are most at risk of feeling lonely. It goes hand in
hand with social isolation. Creating a space for the elderly to mix with youngsters can lift spirits—
and help youngsters without enough money.

第五部分 书面表达（满分 25 分）
81. One possible version:
The proportion of older people is steadily increasing in recent years in China. Meanwhile, a
project in Holland, where young people live together with the elderly, benefits both sides.
There are some reasons accounting for the phenomenon. As population ages, elderly people
are becoming lonelier, which is harmful physically and mentally, so they applaud the presence of
young people. Faced with huge economic pressure, young people are willing to live in nursing
homes to ease the burden.
From where I stand, I am supportive of this new way of companionship. For the elderly, they
will be less lonely and learn lots of new things from the young. Besides, staying with young people,
they feel the vitality of life again. For young people, they become more patient and know how to
care for others. Moreover, they can gain valuable life advice from the elderly. Companion is the
longest confession, so the project really deserves credit.

M: Did you fall out of bed last night? I woke up because of a big noise. I thought it was thunder,
but the sky was clear.
W: No, it was the wind. We had left the door open and the wind blew it shut.

M: The train will leave in 25 minutes. Do you want to find a seat now, or should we get coffee while
we’re waiting?
W: It doesn’t seem too crowded, and I’m kind of hungry. Let’s get some breakfast to go, and we
can eat on the train.
Text 3
W: Can we pick up groceries later? I have a dentist appointment at noon.
M: We’ve been up since 8:00. I’m hungry. The dentist’s is around the corner, and we still have two
hours to get there.

M: So, tell me about your new friend Cindy. What’s she like?
W: She’s really neat. She’s younger than me, but she’s great to be around because she makes me
laugh all the time. She’s always telling jokes.
M: She must be pretty easy-going.
Text 5
W: When I got out of bed this morning, I nearly fell over. I was really dizzy. It must have been
tiredness.
M: I sometimes feel like that when I wake up. Anyway, I’m glad to see you’re back to normal.

W: It looks like this game is completely sold out. How many people do you think are here right
now?
M: There are 20,000 seats in here. Have you ever been to a professional basketball game before?
W: Only the ones at my university. Thanks again for buying the tickets. How much do I owe you?M: It’s my treat. You can buy the next tickets. Why don’t we go to the gift shop, and you can get
yourself a souvenir?
W: Sure. But at least let me get you a beer and a hot dog before we go back to our seats.
M: I can’t say no to that.
Text 7
M: I got my book report back from my teacher, and she said I need to work on how I summarize
things on paper.
W: What were you trying to summarize?
M: It’s a book we were reading in class. We had to give a brief summary of the plot.
W: When I used to read textbooks, I always tried to summarize what I had learned by speaking it
out loud. Then I just wrote it down on the paper.
M: Really?
W: If I couldn’t do it, I knew I had to go back and read it again. Once I could do it naturally and
smoothly, I wrote it down.
M: That makes sense.
W: Here, take this. Read today’s news, and then try and explain it to me.
M: What if I can’t?
W: Then keep trying until you can.

W: Those are healthy things you have in your basket — fresh cabbage, fresh tomatoes…oh, and
fresh bacon. That’s the only thing that might not be good for you.
M: Hey, sis, we’re not children any more. You don’t need to look after me like you did in my
childhood. Even wives don’t worry so much over their husbands.
W: Well, if we want to reach the age of our grandparents’, we need to stay healthy. When I queue
at the checkout behind some people, I am amazed at the unhealthy things they have in their
baskets. No wonder they are overweight, unfit and always feeling ill.
M: I think you have to keep a balance. I try to buy mostly healthy things, but I don’t get stressed if
I sometimes feel like something less healthy, like the bacon. If I don’t feel cheerful, sometimes I have a bar of chocolate.
W: I agree. Sometimes if I have a headache, I have a few cans of beer, even though that’s not
particularly good for me.

M: Mom, can we get a dog?
W: Dogs need a lot of attention, Jeffrey. Do you think you can handle that kind of responsibility?
It’s harder than you think.
M: Of course I can. I’ll take it for walks every day, and clean up after it.
W: Do you know what kind of dog you want?
M: Yes, I’ve been looking at some pictures on the Internet. This one with the long golden hair is
named Lion.
W: He’s very cute, but we don’t have enough room for a dog that big. Those dogs need space to run
around, and we live in an apartment. I think we should get a small one.
M: OK, then what about this one? My friend has one like this, and everyone likes it.
W: Those kinds of dogs always have health problems. Plus, they bark a lot. We don’t want to annoy
our neighbors.
M: So what do you suggest?
W: First, we aren’t getting one from a pet store. They are too expensive. I know a place that saves
dogs and gives them away for free.
M: OK.
W: And second, you need to show me you have the sense of responsibility. That means cleaning
your room, doing your homework, and helping around the house.
M: I promise!

M: As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to run
and build swings. At that stage I hadn’t yet learned to climb or swim, but that is something I would also
have loved to do. One day we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and
handstands, but it was when I had to do a forward roll that disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck
in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar and I was told to do no
exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all
day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn’t interested in love
stories — I avoided those — but crime and adventure did appeal. From those eight weeks I developed
a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another
four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love — reading.
