One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office.
It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His
head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family, " he wrote." He is understandably very
sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?"
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology
doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to
listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the
children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he
played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not
easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began
setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why
did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with, " I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect
his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It's your turn, " he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to
me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to
another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
34. When he first met the author, David .
A. looked a little nervous B. walked energetically
C. felt a little excited D. showed up with his teacher
35.David enjoyed being with the author because he .
A. wanted to ask the author for advice B. liked the children's drawings in the office
C. need to share sorrow with the author D. beat the author many times in the chess game
36. What can be inferred about David?
A. He liked biking before he lost his family.
B. He recovered after months of treatment.
C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D. He got friends in school before he met the author.
37. What made David change?
A. His teacher's help. B. The author's friendship.
C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The author's silent communication with him.

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.
The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly
does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and
perform controlled flight tasks.
"It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sun of a bunch of
individual components ( 元 件 ) , "said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been
working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago. his team got the go-ahead to start
piecing together the components. "The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those
components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own, " he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. "The seemingly simple system
which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of
which individually has to perform well. but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to, "
said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems.
Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built
and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to
equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites,
in farmers' fields or on the battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around, " he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the
power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. "You can
start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways
that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, " he said. "So there are a lot of
technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis."
38. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that .
A. they had no ready-made components B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no model in their mind D. they could no assemble the components39. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly .
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. can collect information from many sources
C. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
D. has been put into wide application
40. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
B. Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
41. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Inspiration from Engineering Science
C. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D
The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is
not I.Q.，a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it's purposeful practice. Top performers spend more
hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you'd take a girl
who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn't have to be a big talent, just enough so
that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who
coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same
family background, or, shared the same birthday.
This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating
circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a
strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would
read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field.
She'd be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.
Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused.By
practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly
learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills
down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then
she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback. viewing her performance from
the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing
problems——how do I get characters into a room——dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing
habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.
The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It's the ability to
develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out
of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by
genetics and what we're "hard-wired" to do. And it's true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the
brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.
42. The passage mainly deals with .
A. the decisive factor in making a genius
B. the relationship between genius and success
C. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writer
D. the way of gaining some sense of distinction43 .By reading novels and writers' stories, the girl could .
A. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security
B. join a fascinating circle of writers someday
C. share with a novelist her likes and dislikes
D. come to understand the inner structure of writing
44. In the girl's long painstaking training process, .
A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success
B. she comes to realize she is "hard-wired"' to write
C. she acquires the magic of some great achievement
D. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performance
45. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one's success.
B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.
C .What really-matters is what you do rather than who you are.
D. As to the growth of a genius. I.Q. doesn't matter. but just his/her effort.

Mystery of Evolution
Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO,
there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore
throat, difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's
potentially more dangerous.
Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉) . But what are viruses? How can they cause so
much trouble? Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long.
Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can't reproduce on their own. 46
Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this
reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a
disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our
environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose,
mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. 47 For example, HIV, which causes AIDS. attacks the T-cells of the
immune system.
But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? 48 "Tracing the origins of viruses
is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific
American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of
themselves within the cells they've invaded." 49 First, viruses started as independent organisms, then
became parasites (寄生者) . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from
larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these
cells.
For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be
used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. 50 Or future studies may
reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.
A. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.
B. Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.
C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.
E. However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.
F. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.
G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan, whose temperature is high, similar to a fever.

Dear Jim,
How is everything going? I clearly remember you’ve mentioned your strong interest in traditional
Chinese culture, so I’m writing to share some good news with you! Our school will set up a wide variety of
clubs for us to choose from, of which the Chinese knot club is included. As for me, I will definitely go for
it without hesitation. The club is scheduled to be open in Room 302 in our Science Building every Friday at

I have been longing to become a member of such a club. The reasons are as follows. First of all, the
Chinese knot is always appealing to me because of its rich shapes and I’m curious about how it’s made.
Attending this club, which offers hands-on learning experience, I can learn how to create works of mine.
Besides, I strongly believe I can benefit a lot from this club as it will offer classes introducing the history of
the Chinese knot as well as its symbolic significance. Don’t you think this is a good opportunity to get
close to Chinese traditional culture? What’s more, I, as your best friend, will always be with you, which
guarantees your free communication within the club.
Dear friend, as a Chinese traditional culture lover, why not take the chance to join this club? I am
looking forward to your early positive reply.
Yours,

52．Possible version 1:
Due to the outbreak and spread of the virus called COVID-19, this winter vacation was bound to be
special to everyone. Last week, our class, under my organization, joined in an online activity
themed “Fighting against the Epidemic together” released by Beijingjiaoyu, which proved to be instructive
and greatly enhanced our confidence to win the battle.Last Monday, while surfing the Internet for the news of the epidemic, I happened to know this activity
under way from the official website of Beijingjiaoyu, advocating we do our bits for defeating the epidemic.
So meaningful was it that I, being a monitor, informed my classmates of this activity through Wechat.
Soon we had a heated online discussion on how to participate in the activity and various ideas were put
forward like making videos, writing letters and so on. Eventually, we decided on filming videos as a
response to this activity.
Without delay, we got down to filming the videos separately. Some expressed their thankfulness for the
front-line soldiers for their sacrifice and devotion; some promised to obey the instructions made by the
government; some showed great determination to make full preparations for the coming National College
Examination. Watching the videos filmed by our classmates, I was touched by their patriotism and sense of
responsibility. Also I strongly advocated strengthening self-protection from the disease;
All these showcased our willingness and capability to devote ourselves to fighting against the epidemic, I
zipped the videos and submitted it to Beijingjiaoyu on behalf of my classmates as planned, with the firm
belief that we are able to win the battle with joint effort. (267words)
