Cities all over the world celebrate Christmas in unique and memorable ways. The following
international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.
Quebec city
Quebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district the famed city wall, strange cobblestone
lanes（鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village
each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time,
when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the
place D’ Youville square.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is
famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland’s capital puts on
a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller
coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La
Clique.
Zurich
If buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around
the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury（奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse
Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the merging industrial zones. Another annual
lighting spectacle（壮观场面）, Lichterschwimmen, on Dec. 21, includes hundreds of tiny lanterns that are
sent floating down the River Limmat.
Sydney
A lack of snow does not dampen the Christmas spirit in Sydney. One great and free way to feel the
holiday is to take this Dec. 21 walking tour of George Street, which promises “the most sharable window
displays and coloured lights.” One advantage over other destinations: warm, sandy beaches that lie just
minutes from downtown, where the natural beauty of Australia’s most popular city will be waiting.1．What can you do in Quebec city during Christmas?
A．Ride roller coasters.
B．Take part in a walking tour.
C．Enjoy cross-country ski.
D．Watch a Christmas-themed show.
2．Where should you go if you want to enjoy a Christmas without snow?
A．Quebec city. B．Edinburgh.
C．Zurich. D．Sydney.
3．Where is this text most likely from?
A．A guidebook. B．A diary.
C．A novel. D．A research paper.
B
We’ve known that sitting for long periods of time every day has countless health consequences, like a
higher risk of heart disease. But now a new study has found that sitting is also bad for your brain.
A study published last week, conducted by Dr. Prabha Siddarth at the University of California,
showed that sedentary（久坐的）behavior is associated with reduced thickness of the medial temporal lobe
（中颞叶）, a brain area that is critical to learning and memory.
The researchers asked a group of 35 healthy people, ages 45 to 70, about their activity levels and the
average number of hours each day spent sitting and then scanned their brains. They found that the subjects
who reported sitting for longer periods had the thinnest medial temporal lobes. It means that the more time
you spend in a chair the worse it is for your brain health, resulting in possible damage to learning and
memory.
What is also interesting is that this study did not find a significant association between the level of
physical activity and thickness of this brain area, suggesting that exercise, even severe exercise, may not be
enough to protect you from the harmful effects of sitting.
It then surprisingly turned out that you don’t even have to move much to enhance cognition（认知）;
just standing will do the trick. For example, two groups of subjects were asked to complete a test while
either sitting or standing. Participants are presented with conflicting stimuli（刺激）, like the word “green”
in blue ink, and asked to name the color. Subjects thinking on their feet beat those who sat by a 3-milicond
margin.
The cognitive effects of severe physical exercise are well known. But the possibility that standing
more and sitting less improves brain health could lower the bar for everyone.
I know, this all runs counter to received ideas about deep thought, from our grade school teachers,
who told us to sit down and focus, to Rodin’s famous “Thinker,” seated with chin on hand.
They were wrong. You can now all stand up.
4．What can we infer from Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．Severe exercise can lessen the damage of sitting.
B．Severe exercise can greatly improve our brain health.
C．Sedentary behavior will possibly damage our brain.
D．Brain health has nothing to do with sedentary behavior.
5．What does the underlined word “margin” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．blank. B．edge.
C．decrease. D．difference.6．What is the received idea about deep thought?
A．Sitting more is good for our mental health.
B．Sitting is better when we think.
C．Exercise more can improve our cognition.
D．We should stand while thinking.
7．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．people tend to sit while thinking
B．standing more can make our brain healthier
C．physical exercise can improve our brain health
D．sedentary behavior leads to countless health problems
C
Throughout history, music spread among people of different cultures. In today's technological
advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artist's permission. This can
lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music
online without permission is theft.
Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say
that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who
find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand the
influence of music piracy on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording
process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music
producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music
only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.
There are many people who don't see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the
right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to
do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the
right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.
Although we don't spread today's music the same way we did before, there's no doubt that people
around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing
producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists,
they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.
8．The underlined phrase “cracking down on” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．bringing up carefully B．speaking highly of
C．dealing seriously with D．destroying completely
9．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．sharing music files online affects a lot of people
B．artists are taking action to protect their right
C．online music sharing increases sales of music CD
D．a person who bought a CD has the right to share it online with others
10．How is the text organized?
A．Topic-Argument-Explanation.
B．Introduction-Supporting statements-Conclusion.
C．Main idea-Comparison-Supporting statements.
D．Opinion-Discussion-Description.11．What is the author’s attitude toward music piracy?
A．Indifferent. B．Favorable. C．Disapproval. D．Skeptical.
D
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 integrated 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 sum of a bunch
of individual components,” 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.”
12．Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?
A．They did not have sufficient fund.
B．No ready-made components were available.
C．There was no model in their mind.
D．It was hard for them to assemble the components.
13．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B．The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C．Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.
D．The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.
14．Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A．Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
D．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
15．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．The Development of Robotic Fly
B．Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science
C．Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Naming a pet can be difficult considering all the cute names available. When naming your pet you
want to make sure their name is short and simple, not something too crazy! Here are some ways to help you
name your pet.
Think about your pet’s personality.
Does he/she remind you of a person, character, object, or personality. Is there an activity he/ she loves
to do? Is there a character trait that he/she reminds you of? 16．. For example, is Star Wars a popular thing
in your family? Maybe name your pet after Chewy or Leia!
Examine your pet.
Let’s take a dog for example. The dog is dark and reminds you of something you like. 17．Maybe
he/she smells a lot, so you could name him/her Stinky. If you like cartoons, you may name him Pluto.
Get a name book.
A name book that is used to help pick baby names can help you find a name! 18． Hey, who knows,
you could find some very interesting names!
Get inspired by your own life.
Maybe name your pet “Joker” if you like comic books. Do you collect or have interest in coins? 19．
20．
For example, the name Princess Peanut Butter is cute, but too long to say to your pet every minute or
two. Unless you plan to call the pet with the long name some quirky nickname like PPB, choose a name
that is simpler that you could call the pet.
A．Consider your pet’s uniqueness.
B．Avoid names that may be too long.
C．Any of these could suggest a good name.
D．Search through some names in the book.
E.Long names can be tricky and confusing.
F.You may name him/her Smoky or Stormy.
G.Maybe name your pet Lincoln after the penny.

Dear Jim,
I am very glad to have received your letter, in which you want to know how I spent my winter
vacation this year. Here is all about it.
As you know, our winter vacation is normally a great time for the Spring Festival, during which time,
we will visit friends and relatives besides finishing our homework. However, due to the outbreak of
COVID-19, we had an extended and special vacation this year. To fight the epidemic, some cities and even
some villages were locked down. We were asked to observe home quarantine to avoid being infected. I
stayed at home all day long, sleeping, watching TV, checking news on the phone, WeChatting and doing
some physical exercise. Later on,we had our online class on Dingtalk to keep up with our studying tasks.
Thanks to the timely measures taken by the government, the epidemic is now gone and we are happily
back at school. This vacation is sure to stay in our mind all our lives.
With best regards!
Yours,
Li Hua
