A
The sudden rise of the new coronavirus has shocked China. Although China has
been doing everything possible to stop the virus, it has spread outside of its borders and
into other regions. There are now confirmed cases of COVID-19 in countries including
the UK, Japan, Germany, Vietnam, Russia and the United States.
There is a growing fear that the effects of the outbreak will worsen if it is not
contained. This has led to countries closing borders with China and putting travel bans in
place, hoping to protect their own citizens. However, fear and misinformation have also
caused the spread of something else – racism .
Restaurants and businesses in many tourist areas across the world have posted signs
banning Chinese people. Social media users recently shared a picture of a sign outside a
hotel in Rome, Italy. The sign said that “all people coming from China” were “not
allowed” in the hotel. Similar signs with anti-Chinese sentiment ( 情 绪 ) were also
reportedly seen in South Korea, the UK, Malaysia and Canada. These signs were loud and
clear – “No Chinese”. Racist actions such as these do a lot more harm than good.
“My ethnicity (种族渊源) has made me feel like I was part of a threatening and
diseased mass ,” Sam Phan, a master’s student at the University of Manchester, wrote to
the Guardian.
Edith Bracho-Sanchez, an assistant professor at Columbia University Irving
Medical Center, has experience working on health issues that involve international borders. “As human beings, we are afraid of the things we don’t know, but our
response should be to educate ourselves, not to further spread fears and
misunderstandings,” she said. Bracho-Sanchez suggested that the media should “stick
to the facts”.
Phan shared a similar view: “It’s important to see us in all our diversity , as
individual human beings, and to challenge stereotypes (刻板印象). The coronavirus is
a human tragedy, so let’s not allow fear to breed (引发) hatred, intolerance and racism.”
Instead of spreading misinformation and fueling fearful thoughts, we should do
everything we can to support those who are affected by events such as the COVID-19
outbreak. After all, the real enemy is the virus, not the people who are fighting it.
1. What do Paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about?
A. How COVID-19 has spread outside of China.
B. How other countries deal with COVID-19.
C. COVID-19 leading to racism against Chinese people.
D. COVID-19 affecting business and tourism worldwide.
2.What did Bracho-Sanchez tell people with her words?
A. The media helps educate people.
B. It’s harmful to fear what we don’t know.
C. It’s better to keep your fears to yourself.
D. It’s helpful to learn about unknown things.
3. What attitude does the author hold toward the COVID-19 outbreak?
A. She hopes people work together to fight the virus.
B. She blames Chinese for spreading the virus abroad.
C. She thinks the media is responsible for misinformation.
D. She criticizes China for not doing enough to contain the virus.
BOne of my most beloved possessions is my black, spiral-bound journal. It is a thin,
wide-ruled, simple journal with no lock or key that I found at the dollar store. The journal
has no monetary(货币的)value but instead holds its value of capturing my daily
moments of gratitude.
The concept of a gratitude journal originated when my little brother began his
gratitude journal. Although he is only twelve, he has truly grasped the concept of
gratitude. I remember one of his journal entries saying, “I am thankful for my dog because
I love walking her in the park”. A simple walk in the park makes my video game
enthusiastic brother grateful and joyful.
Seeing how my brother could practice gratitude daily, I was inspired to start my own
gratitude journal. Initially, writing in my gratitude journal was such a struggle.
On the most typical, dry days when I sat at my desk for hours studying for the SAT,
what was there to be grateful for? At one point, I found my gratitude journal to be a
pointless concept and I lost belief in my gratitude journal. In the time when I chose not to
journal, I realized how plain my life was. I missed savoring every moment and taking
delight in the little aspects of my life that made me smile.
I decided to continue writing in my gratitude journal once again. Even though I was
not learning in a classroom over the summer, I still learned in a different manner. The
journal has acted as a reflective, personal space for me to recall the past. The simplest
moments of my life that were once overlooked are now the highlights of my day.
4. Why did the author mention his brother’s journal?
A. To praise his brother’s vivid works.
B. To express his gratitude to his brother.
C.To amuse the readers with a funny story.
D. To explain his decision for writing a journal
5. What trouble did the author have in writing journals at the beginning?
A. He didn’t know what to write.
B. He was struggling with words.C.He was too busy to write journals.
D. He couldn’t find the meaning of life.
6. What does the underlined word “savoring” probably mean?
A. Ruining. B. Fighting. C. Enjoying. D. Expecting.
7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A. Learn from journals, and learn from life.
B. Be grateful for every moment of life.
C. Wherever you are, do remember to keep a journal.
D. The least important can be the highlight sometimes.
C
I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of
the UK. The first thing I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound
like the queen. I've since learnt that accents change almost every five miles. As far as
America goes. I can tell the West Coast from the East or the South, but I can't tell you a
state, much less a county (郡).
The next thing I couldn't imagine was the quiet, stare-ahead norm of public
transportation- if you talk to somebody on the Tube, you’re probably a serial killer or a
lost tourist.
I've had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more
times and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time I've had someone
walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English. In
America, at least from what I've experienced, people will start a chat if they see
you're travelling by yourself, and I always immediately have someone taller offer to
put my things in an overhead bin (行李箱).
Opening hours---especially Sunday trading laws have also taken so much to get
used to. In America, 24/7 fast food, grocery stores. petrol stations, etc. are the norm.
In my first year in the UK, I forgot it was Easter Sunday, and went into town at 2:00
pm. Imagine my surprise when 1 found the city center was deserted, and there wasn't a single car at Tesco. Approaching the building, I saw a large sign
announcing opening times. I had to make do with plain bread until 9:00 am Monday,
when I'd be able to pay for groceries again.
Speaking of groceries, it took so many people telling me I was crazy to convince
me to eat eggs here--- they’re not refrigerated, and they'll often have bits of feather or
chicken waste on the outside. I am now aware that they 're safe, but coming from a
childhood of perfectly clean, white, large AAA eggs, I was convinced I'd die a terrible
salmonella (沙门氏菌) death.
8. What's the author's impression of the transportation of the UK?
A. It's very dangerous to use public transportations.
B. It's easy for a tourist to get lost on public transportations.
C. British people willingly offer help on public transportations.
D. British people don't talk to each other on public transportations.
9. What happened on Easter Sunday in the author's first year in the UK?
A. He left the city center. B. He failed to buy any food.
C. A supermarket closed down. D. A restaurant opened in a tall building.
10. What is a good suggestion to a foreigner in the UK?
A. Try to speak like the queen.
B. Avoid eating unhealthy eggs.
C. Store some plain bread in the fridge.
D. Pay attention to the opening hours of the shops.
11. What's the best title for the text?
A. How to Get Used to Life in the UK
B. What do I Find Strange about the UK
C. How Difficult It Is to Travel in the UK
D. What Can a Foreigner Expect in the UKD
Rats that eat high levels of a natural sugar known as fructose(果糖)seem to age
faster than other rats-and the same could be true for people who eat too much
sweet junk food, Israeli researchers said Monday.
Fructose, found naturally in honey and fruit, is used widely in foods ranging from
soft drinks to yogurt.But while its sweet taste is popular, the sugar could cause
wrinkles, the researchers said. Dr.Moshe Werman and Boaz Levi of the Technion-Israel
Institute of Technology fed large amounts of fructose to laboratory rats. Writing in the
Journal of Nutrition, they said the fructose-fed rats showed changes in the collagen
(胶原蛋白)of their skin and bones.
Collagen basically holds the body together.The loss of collagen is what causes
loose skin and deep wrinkles in older people.
The process affected, Werman's team said, is known as cross-linking(交 叉 相 连
)."Too much cross-linking makes the skin stiff, and these are the conditions that
encourage wrinkled skin," Werman said in a statement.He said the same could be true of
people, although this has not been shown .
"Americans are eating more and more processed foods such as baked goods,
canned fruits, jams and dairy products that contain fructose," Werman said. Other
studies have shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes(糖尿病.
The rats Werman worked with were fed much more than the average adult person
might eat in a day, which is standard in such experiments. The rats were fed 19.5
grams of fructose per kg of weight every day for a year.
12. In the experiments, if a rat was 0.25 kg , it may have been fed about____grams
of fructose every day for a year.
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
13. What is the reason why older people have deep wrinkles ?
A. They don't drink enough water every day.
B. Collagen in their body is missing.
C. They don't take enough exercise every day.D. They like eating sugar.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The rats in Werman’s lab ate much more sugar than an ordinary adult might eat in a
day.
B. Too much cross-linking makes the skin soft.
C. The fructose-fed rats only showed changes in the collagen of their skin.
D. It hasn't been shown that taking in high fructose may cause diabetes.
15. The best title for the passage should be “ ” .
A. Sugar-it could reduce collagen B. Sugar-it could age you
B. Collagen-it could cause wrinkles D. Collagen-it could age you

Do you get upset because you can’t accomplish what you want to? When you can get
organized, keep things under control, and live a neat life, you can work faster and think more
creatively. Here are some tips that can help:
Make schedules and deadlines
16 They recognize that keeping things organized goes hand-in-hand with staying
productive. They make and keep schedules for the day and week. They make deadlines and set
goals. And most importantly, they stick to them!
Give everything a home
It’s easy to get lost if you don’t have a home. Keeping your life organized means keeping your
things in their proper places. Organized people keep order by storing things properly and by labeling
storage spaces. Make easy-to-access storage spaces for things you use all the time. 17
18
Highly organized people make sure they find time every week or more to organize their things.
Stuff does not stay organized on its own; it needs to be reorganized continuously and consistently.
Use small bits of time to clean out a drawer or put old clothes into a box for donation.
Stay away from bargainsYou have removed the things you don’t need. Will you replace them when you see something
on sale? Instead of bargain shopping without planning ahead, write down exactly what you need and
buy only those items. 19 Items on sale will only produce more waste.
Work hard
Put in a little effort. 20 Staying organized is not all a breeze. It requires that you work
hard with recognition that when you work harder, you can enjoy your mess-free home life later.
What’s more important is to remember what you work for is meaningful to you.
A. Tidy regularly
B. Know what you need.
C. Actually, put in much when necessary.
D. Don’t jump back and forth from room to room.
E. Organized people never give in to false advertising.

Recently, COVID-19 has transmitted all over China even the world. To order to fight against
the virus, the students in China have to study at home on computers instead of going to school.
As for online teaching, it has two sides. On the one hand, it not only can save time so that we
can do more other things like taking up new hobbies, but also can be convenient for our daily life
and study. Besides, after class, we can watch the video again and review the part which we don’t
understand. On the other hand, online teaching will increase the time length of facing the computer
time which will be harmful to our health, especially lead to vision loss, headaches, a sore neck and
sore back. Moreover, Online teaching is short of the learning atmosphere, and will weaken the
relationship between teachers and students. Last but not the least, sowe students will cheat in class.
While they are having class, they are playing computer games at the same time!
As for me, I prefer to study in class because I really miss my teachers and classmates. And it really makes me feel uncomfortable when I sit in the same way studying on computers without
moving. Sometimes the network signal is so weak that it drives me crazy, too! That’s why I’m not a
fan of online teaching.
