A
The audience did not hesitate to applaud loudly as the famous composer walked out onto the
stage for the first time in 12 years. The theatre's 1 (music) director, Michael Umlauf, joined
him and together the two men took charge of the orchestra. For more than an hour, Beethoven
jumped about in front of the orchestra, 2 (wave) his arms wildly in the air, and madly
turning the pages of his score. The whole time, Umlauf stood quietly 3 his side, skillfully
guiding the orchestra through the most amazing piece of music the world had ever known.
B
This was not an easy task. The reason 4 this was difficult was that the team had
limited resources. They did not have enough staff, and the laboratory in which they 5
(work)had poor air quality. However, after hundreds of failed experiments, they eventually came
across a promising chemical. It worked well in experiments on animals, 6 they had to know
if it was safe for humans. Tu Youyou bravely volunteered to be the first human subject when they
were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her.
C
Most people assume that the human brain is set on "automatic" — that means it learns all by
itself. But this isn't always true. We need to train ourselves to be better 7 (learner) — to
actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on 8 we have learnt. These kinds
of learning behaviours 9 (call) "active learning". I suggest doing five things 10
( take) an active role in your learning.

Worth the pain in the end
I used to hate running. It seemed too hard and pushing outside my comfort zone was not
something I was raised to do.
In fact, I wouldn’t have become a 11 if it weren’t for my husband Charles. He had been a
serious competitive runner for many years. After our marriage, he wouldn’t stop talking about how
much he missed it.
“So start running again, why don’t you?” I was getting 12 of hearing about it.
So he picked it up again, and after about a year, I started to join him at the track (跑道). Just a few
weeks later, Charles signed us both up for a five-kilometer race. I 13 about doing it. It was too
soon.
But on 14 day, there I was.
The gun went 15 .Thousands of runners pushed forward.
The first kilometer was 16 .
“I don’t think I’m going to make it.” I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the
group of runners pounding past me.
“No, you’re doing 17 ”, said Charles. He was trying to encourage me, to get me focused on
something other than my 18 .
“I can’t,” I said, barely audibly (听得见地).
He tried a different way to 19 me. “Just make it to that house and let’s see how you feel.”
After another minute I saw the three-kilometer 20 . All I could think of was that I was dying
and that my husband was torturing (折磨) me.
Miserable doesn’t even begin to describe 21 I felt. And there was so much pain.
“You’ll be fine. You’ve got less than a kilometer to go.”
I rounded a corner and saw both sides of the street thick with people watching the race, all
cheering the runners on. I willed my legs to keep going.
Then I looked up and saw the clock. The seconds ticking away (一分一秒地过去) gave me an
incentive ( 助 力 ). I knew that if I finished this race, I would have achieved something. So, I
straightened up, and kicked it.I had my arms held higher when I passed 22 the finish line. A volunteer put a 23
around my neck.
“You did great! I’m so proud of you!” Charles was thrilled that I’d 24 it.
“That was AMAZING! I want to do another race. This running stuff is amazing!” I proudly
hugged my medal as we started to walk to the post-race festivities.
My lungs and my comfort zone both 25 .

Guan Moye, better known as Mo Yan, is a Chinese novelist and short story writer. He has been
referred to by Donald Morrison of U.S. news magazine, TIME, as “one of the most famous and
widely pirated（盗版）of all Chinese writers”. He is best known to Western readers for Red
Sorghum Clan（红高粱家族）, which was later adapted for the film, Red Sorghum. In 2012, Mo
was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Mo Yan was born in Gaomi County, Shandong Province. He was 11 years old when the
Cultural Revolution started, at which time he left school to work as a farmer. At the age of 18, he
began to work at a factory. During this period, his access to literature was largely limited to novels.
At the close of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, Mo joined the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)
and began writing. During this period, the works of Chinese literature, as well as translations of
foreign authors such as William Faulkner, made an impact on his works. In 1984, he received a
literary award from the PLA Magazine, and at the same year he began attending the Military Art
Academy, where he first used the pen name of Mo Yan. “Mo Yan” means “don’t speak” in Chinese.
He explained that the name came from a warning from his father and mother about not saying what
he thought when he was outside. It also related to the subject matter of his writings.
Mo’s first novel was Falling Rain on a Spring Night, published in 1981. Several of his novels
were translated into English by Howard Goldblatt, professor of East Asian languages and literature,
at the University of Notre Dame. He published his first novella（中篇小说）, A Transparent Radish,
in 1984, and released Red Sorghum Clan in 1986, making him a nationally recognized novelist. Five
years later, he obtained a Master’s degree in literature from Beijing Normal University.

In the West, people are taught to wear
masks only when they get sick. Masks are seen
as a tool to protect sick people and prevent
the disease from spreading, so healthy people
don’t need to wear them. Therefore, during
the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas
Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader”
if they go out with a mask. According to a survey done by Global Times among
some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel
“worried”, “shy”, and “afraid of being looked at differently.”
But as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow around the world,
many people in the West are changing their attitudes. In the US, for example,
the need for masks is very high now. The US surgeon general (卫生局局长) has
been asking people to avoid hoarding too many masks, as they are more needed
in hospitals than by the general public.
However, in Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long
tradition of mask-wearing. In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented
the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask
became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation, according
to Scottish medical anthropologist (人类学家) Christos Lynteris. The 2003 SARS
epidemic led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti-viral (抗病毒的)
protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia.
In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure (使安心)
others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories (配饰), with different colors and patterns to match their
clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide” for young women when they don’t
have their makeup (化妆) on.
In more collectivist (集体主义的) cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also
be a symbol of solidarity (团结) during the outbreak, according to Lynteris.
People wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face of
danger, Lynteris wrote.
34. Why don’t healthy people in the West wear masks?
A. They don’t think masks can prevent disease.
B. Only medical workers need to wear masks.
C. They think masks are for sick people to wear.
D. Wearing a mask looks funny.
35. What does the underlined word “hoarding” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. wearing B. making C. throwing D. keeping
36. Masks have been widely used in China since _____.
A. the outbreak of SARS in 2003
B. the pneumonic plague in 1910
C. Christos Lynteris wore one publicly
D. the invention of the modern medical mask
37. The main idea of the passage is _________. A. proving the importance of wearing masks during an epidemic
B. showing opinions about masks between different countries
C. explaining why Westerners don’t wear masks
D. introducing the history of wearing masks

If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a “lesson” in sorting (分类)
garbage, as the city introduced new garbage-sorting regulations on July 1, 2019.
As China’s first city to carry out strict regulations(规则) on garbage sorting
and recycling, Shanghai requires its residents to sort garbage into four categories,
namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage
properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.
Since the regulation took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai
has been reduced by an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent from the end of
2018, while the average daily weight of recyclables hits 4,500 tons, five times higher
than the end of 2018, according to the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance
Administrative Bureau.
The city also rebuilt 21,000 waste-sorting stations and more than 40,000 waste
bins have been updated. The city’s waste collection and transportation system is
complete, according to the bureau.“Proper waste sorting is to protect the environment and save natural resources,”
said Deng Jianping, director of the bureau. “Led by the central government, Shanghai
is making efforts to develop long-term solutions to garbage management.”
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is
difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its
bag when dumping (倾倒). According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in
the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin.
This separation is necessary, as it ensures that the wet garbage will decompose
(分解) properly and become useful organic (有机的) waste, the bureau said.
Plastic bags can affect this process. Some people in Shanghai are instead using
paper bags that can biodegrade（生物降解）or plastic containers that can be washed
and reused, according to Xinhua.

五、应用文：Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua from Class 1 Grade 1. As we all know, there are various types of environmental
problems around us, which greatly affect our life and health. To solve these problems and live a
green life, I would like to share some ideas with you.
One of the solutions is to save water and electricity. When you brush your teeth, don’t leave the
tap running and always remember not to leave the house with lights on. It is a good way to save
resources and energy, isn’t it?
Another solution is green travel, which is friendly to our environment and contributes to a
low-carbon life. For example, if we ride bikes on short journeys instead of using cars, we will reduce
air pollution and save energy as well.
We can also live a green life by sorting garbage. For instance, we can recycle used plastic
bottles, glass, paper and metal to turn them into things of value.
I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our
world a better place to live in. Let’s live green and live better!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
