A
Do you have a job? If you do, you’ll know the world of work can be tough -long hours, boring tasks
and stress. But it can bring benefits too, such as a regular salary. Maybe that's why more of us are now
taking on a side hustle - another name for a second job.
For Some having two jobs is a necessity -- a way to make ends meet and provide extra income. But it
now seems that more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make money. These tend
to be entrepreneurial young people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of
income.
According to Henley Business School, around one in four workers run at least one side hustle
business, half of which were started in the past two years. Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be
involved, with 37 percent thought to run a sideline of some kind. It calculates that the average side hustler
makes about 20 percent of their income through their second job.
But what's interesting is that many millennials （千禧一代）are turning their hand to new jobs not
just for money and security. Research has found that almost three-quarters of people are following a
passion or exploring a new challenge. Becci Mai Ford, who works some of the time for a
telecommunications company to pay the bills, spends the rest of her time developing her craft company.
She says going full-time is "not financially worth it right now but it fuels my creative soul and makes me
happy".
Of course having a side hustle means you are self-employed, which can give you flexibility to work
when you like, but it can be risky. You sometime work on a zero-hours contract and may not get offered
enough work. Or what was originally your passion may become more of a chore. However； this could be
the best way to try out a new career or follow a passion while not giving up the day job.
21. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason for people to take on a side
hustle?
A. To make money. B. To obtain job satisfaction.
C. To have the flexibility to work. D. To enjoy a risky lifestyle.22. The author explains the study from Henley Business School by .
A. describing the process B. making a comparison
C. presenting research findings D. analyzing cause and effect
23. What is the author's attitude towards having a second job?
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Favorable：
B
With Chinese consumers hit by quarantine （隔离期）and travel restrictions as well as just cautious
about going out to the shops due to the coronavirus epidemic（流行病），companies in China are
experimenting with new tricks to make sales.
Oil giant Sinopec - keen to get customers back in their cars and help farmers due to roadblocks -
launched a new project last month called "zerotouch" vegetable sales at its 6,000 gas stations in 147
Chinese cities. Consumers place and pay for orders on the app and when they drive up, gas station
employees put the vegetables into their car trunk, eliminating any need for human-to-human contact.
"The coronavirus outbreak has made it difficult for people to shop as before," said Li Hong， vice
president of Sinopec's convenience store sales division. "Travel demand has been falling, but demand for
food is pretty rigid."
Mengniu Dairy, China's dairy producer, is racing to add more vending machines to the 10,000 it
currently has, saying the epidemic has driven unexpectedly strong demand for the sales channel. Its system
allows customers to order products like ‘milk and yoghurt online which can then be picked up from their
local vending machine "The virus outbreak has decreased consumption for dairy products as people are
unwilling to go to the supermarket," said Meng Fanjie; head of the company's Communist Party committee.
Luckin Coflfee, a competitive rival to Starbucks, now also offers the sanitizer (消毒） products （e.g.
hand soap） besides coffee. Liu Xingliaging, an independent retait analyst, said, however, that Luckin's
strategy would have only a modest impact. “At best some users will place an order when they buy coffee,
but nobody is deliberately choosing the Luckin app just to buy sanitizer”
24. According to the passage, why did some companies adopt new selling methods?
A. Citizens were not allowed to go out.
B. The demand for travel and food declined sharply.
C． The coronavirus epidemic changed people's way of life.
D. Companies desired to grasp the chance to defeat their competitors.
25. What does the underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 2 most probably refer to?
A. meeting B. removing C. decreasing D. limiting
26. The passage is written mainly to .
A. illustrate the difficulty caused by the coronavirus epidemic
B. explain the changes made by some companies in the epidemicC. describe the challenges some companies met during the epidemic
D. reveal the intelligence people showed in the coronavirus epidemic
C
People may set an alarm on the phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep. That hard,
unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as
grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up? A recent study says yes. The answer is music .
The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The researchers found that
people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead
writer of the study stated, "We are very surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping
sound to be more successful；” at waking up a person.
Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up,
and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep
inertia's harmful effects on human performance later in the day.
Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do, "care should be taken" when
performing duties that require a top performance within this period, he said. This includes "dangerous tasks
like driving or riding our bikes" shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in
dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.
So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more
successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "beeping"
alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's
attention when waking from sleep.
And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be, McFarlane said. "We could
suggest alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with. The current sounds I have been
using include “Close to me' by the Cure and 'Borderline' by Madonna."
No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters 一 a lot.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. What is grogginess? B. Why are musical alarms better?
C. Which music is the best? D. How can we overcome grogginess?
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep inertia is another cause for grogginess.
B. How long a person sleeps is of great importance.
C. The 'beeping' alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone.
D. It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up.
29. The paragraph following this passage is likely to focus on
A. examples of good musical alarms
B. more findings of the application of music
C. explanations about why music is more helpfulD. suggestions on how to sleep well and feel fresh each morning.
30. In which section of a magazine may you find the passage?
A. Health. B. Fiction. C. Technology. D. Entertainment

There are hundreds of publishers across the world and millions of books get printed every yean
Moreover, a book can be printed by several polishers.31
To overcome the problem of identifying books, publishers have come up with a unique numbering
system. For instance, if 50,000 copies of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are printed by a publisher at
one time (called an edition), all of them are identified by one number code. 32 Your address begins with
your house number, street, locality, state and ends with a statement of the country where you live. An ISBN
book number achieves a similar aim of identifying and tracing a book
If you pick up any book, turn it around you will see a number which looks something like this 一
ISBN 90-70002-34-5. This is called the ISBN number. ISBN stands for International Standard Book
Numbering. 33 The ISBN number is divided into four groups that are separated by a space or a hyphen.
The first part of the ISBN identifies the country and is called the Group Identifier. 34 The second part
is called the Publisher Prefix. The Publisher Prefix is used to identify the publisher of the book. The
publisher prefix may contain up to seven digits.
The third part identifies the title and the edition of the book and so is called the Title Identifier, which
may consist of up to six digits. 35 _Since you can have the same book from the same publisher but with
different editions, the Title Identifier helps to differentiate between them.
The fourth and the final part is called the Check digit, a single digit (from 0 to 9) used to check
whether the given ISBN number is correct or wrong. If an ISBN number is incorrect, this means that the
book is a version printed illegally.
A. It may consist of up to five digits.
B. So what can the ISBN number do for you?
C. This makes the task of identifying a book very difficult.
D It is a numbering system that is used to describe the book,
E. Book publishers often come out with newer and updated versions of earlier books
E. The numberCode is your home — address that can only be shared by your parents and
G The ISBN numbering system helps book stores and book publishers to handle categorize to handle,
categorize, store and identify books easily.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）
