When you are choosing a major in the future, will you place a higher value on its future career
or on its personal interest to you? Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Hunan province who
scored 676 points in total on this year's college entrance exam, preferred the latter as she applied to
study archaeology at Peking University.
However, there was a heated debate concerning whether she had made a wise decision. Some
netizens argued that she wouldn't have a promising future unless she chose a more popular
major—for instance, finance, engineering, business, etc. —instead of archaeology. What's more,
considering the financial burden on her family, she had better think twice before making her final
decision.
The girl later responded that she had been inspired to pursue archeology by Fan Jinshi,
president of Dunhuang Academy, and that she had developed a passion for history and cultural relics.
She also added that she cared little about fame and fortune.
Zhong has increased my confidence because of her attitude towards life. Firstly, she knows
clearly what she is really interested in and is determined to devote herself to it. Secondly, Zhong has
been able to stick to her pursuit despite the criticism from society.
Zhong's pursuit reminds me of a lady who walks on a country road and lives in poetry—Li Ziqi.
They both try their best to be who they want to be, which is rare and admirable nowadays.
Just ask yourself: Do you have the courage not to follow the pattern that the majority of people
repeat? Actually, applying for an unpopular major may help you to avoid fierce competition. And the
pursuit of a popular major is no guarantee for a brilliant future.
Following the example of Zhong, I will be more willing to follow my dreams in the years to
come.
24. What made Zhong decide to major in archaeology?
A. Her courage to take an adventure. B. Her optimistic attitude towards life.
C. Her stubborn belief in popular majors. D. Her love for history and cultural relics.
25. Some netizens opposed Zhong's choice because they thought
A. she preferred finance to archaeology B. she wouldn't have a promising future
C. she placed value on her future career D. she cared much about fame and fortune
26. What inspires the author to follow his or her dream in the future?
A. Li Ziqi's living in poetry. B. Netizens' heated argument.
C. Fan Jinshi's encouragement. D. Zhong's sticking to her pursuit.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. You Can Be Who You Want To Be B. Archaeology Is Becoming Popular
C. A Left-behind Girl Scored 676 Points D. A Heated Debate Arose Among Netizens
C
An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens（病原
体）whose activities harm the host’s tissues and can be spread to other individuals.
Microorganisms（微生物）capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an
infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are
quite different. In order to cause disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to
specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.
Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when
an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It also includes taking in the infectious
droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the
environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct
contact with the infection source may be the indirect contact for easily infected group.
Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route
of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and
initiating animal control and vaccination（疫苗）programs, etc. Personally, the first line of defense is
to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene（卫生）habits. Prevent infection before
it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting
vaccinated and so on.
Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious diseases. But in the past two decades at
least a dozen “new” disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be “on
their way out” are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death.
Clearly, the battle has not been won. Nevertheless, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to deny
the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and
medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.
28．What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A．Origin of true pathogens.
B．Nature of infectious diseases.
C．Strategies for avoiding tissue damage.
D．Differences between infection and disease.
29．What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact?
A．Getting bitten by an infected dog.
B．Playing toys a sick child played with.
C．Breathing in tiny drops from sneezing
D．Shaking hands with an infected person.
30．Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragraph 4?
A．At risk. B．Off course. C．Under control. D．Within reach.
31．What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Man is at a loss about infectious diseases.
B．Traditional infectious diseases are dying out.
C．Science counts in defeating infectious diseases.
D．The battle against infectious diseases is in vain.
D
Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do
we have rules, and what makes people follow them?
Studies have suggested that the reason we don't like rule-breaking is because fairness is
programmed into our brains. Scientists have found that the brain reacts in a particular way when we
feel we are being treated unfairly. A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but
unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings. The study found that this also
happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. They concluded that fairness is one of
basic human needs.
Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view.
Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to
arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that
everyone must follow.
Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules. They influence the way
we behave, and can be internal (内在的) or external. Internal controls come from within and are
based on our values and fears. Most of us don't steal, for example, because we believe that theft is
unfair and wrong. We also don't want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our
internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.
External controls include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job promotions and
praise, are designed to encourage people to behave and acting the interest of the whole community.
Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from
acting against the community's best interests.
People need their communities to function smoothly. If there were no rules, most people would
probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is
why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.
32．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A program in human brains. B．A comfortable situation.
C．The response with bad feelings. D．The requirement of fairness.
33．Why do communities have rules?
A．To punish illegal activities. B．To prevent disagreement.
C．To promote fairness. D．To meet various demands.
34．Which of the following is an example of internal control?
A．Take exams honestly because cheating is shameful
B．Park in the right place so as not to get a parking ticket.
C．Pay the electricity bill on time in order not to get a late fee.
D．Cooperate with your classmates to win a prize for your class.
35．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Living by the rules B．Why communities need rules
C．Reaching a compromise D．How fairness functions

Look inward for better career advice
Sometimes we turn to others for advice on major career decisions. __36 Warren Buffet's
father discouraged him from entering the securities(证券）business.Walt Disney' s brother and wife
both tried to talk him out of making Snow White.
Why does so much career advice end up being misguided? ___37__ We often listen to the
wrong sources. I've watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance,
forgetting that they were raised in an area when it was common to spend an entire career in one
organization.
What about going to people who are qualified to give advice?_ 38___ Advisers often focus
too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective(视角）.
At some point, you have probably noticed that you're wiser when giving advice to others than
you are in making decisions for yourself. You're not alone. It often happens because we have more
distance from other people's problems than our own. __39__Sure enough, psychologists find that
our reasoning becomes wiser when we think about our own problems from a third-person
perspective.
Advising others doesn't just help us make better decisions, but it also leaves us more
motivated to follow through. In one experiment, it was expected people were more motivated
when receiving than giving advice. ___40 ____It was people who gave advice who became more
motivated.
If you want to get better career advice, you can start by reflecting on what you would tell
someone else with a similar question. Listen to the advice you give to others. It's usually the advice
you need to take yourself.And it might be the best way to motivate yourself, too.
A.However, sometimes we make decisions depending on ourselves.
B.But the opposite was true.
C.But they may direct us in the wrong direction.
D.It's no guarantee that they will know what's right for us.
E.But it was easier said than done.
F. The problem may start with who we approach for advice.
G.The lesson here is that one of the most effective ways to get better advice is to give it.

“Please don't wake up,” I plead silently to my 10-month-old son as I log into another Zoom
meeting from my tiny New York City apartment. I use a virtual 41 —a picture of my
university office—to 42 the fact that I'm in my kitchen, where it's easier to avoid the loud
calls for “Mama!” from my 3-year-old daughter and the hunger 43 of my infant son. Such
meetings—a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic— 44 the stress I feel as a working mom,
trying to hide the messy reality of my life as a parent. It has led to a unique type of Zoom burnout,
one I fear is 45 to working mothers.
I've always tried to hide my motherhood 46 from plain view. I don't have photos of my
children on display in my university office, 47 some of my male colleagues clearly feel
comfortable doing so. I haven't wanted my colleagues to 48 me as less committed to my work
because I have children. 49 now, working from home, I feel unable to control whether my
children are 50 .
My workdays are 51 with meetings to discuss research projects. When the pandemic
started and the meetings 52 to Zoom, I felt an unspoken 53 to turn my camera on.
Almost everyone else had their camera on, and I feared that if I kept mine off, I wouldn't be viewed
as “present.” The 54 I experience during Zoom meetings compounds other stressors in my life.
However, reduced anxiety and a chance to take care of household duties while still contributing to
the meeting—is 55 it to me.

It was not out of envy, because he got the prize and I did not, that I quarreled with Coretti this
morning. No, it was not out of envy. Still I was in the wrong. The teacher had placed him beside me,
and I was writing in my copy-book when he jogged my elbow and made me blot and soil the
monthly story, Blood of Romagna. I got angry, and said a rude word to him.
He replied, with a smile, “I did not do it on purpose.”
I should have believed him, because I know him; but it displeased me that he should smile, and
I thought: “ Oh! Now that he has had a prize, he has grown arrogant and over-proud!” and a little
while afterwards, to revenge myself, I gave him jog which made him spoil his page.
Then, Coretti’s face flushed with anger, “You did that on purpose,” he said to me, and raised his
hand. The teacher saw it; he drew it back. But he added: “I shall wait for you outside!”
I felt ill at ease; my anger had eventually broken out; I regretted. No; Coretti could not have
done it intentionally. He is good, I thought. I recalled how I had seen him in his own home; how he
had worked and helped his sick mother; and then how heartily he had been welcomed in my house;
and how he had pleased my father. What would I not have given; not to have said that word to him;
not to have insulted him! And I thought of the advice that my father had given to me: “Have you
done wrong?---“Yes.”---“Then beg his pardon.” But this I did not dare to do; I was ashamed of
myself. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, and I saw his coat ripped on the shoulder
---perhaps because he had carried too much wood,--and I felt that I loved him. I said to myself,
“Courage!” But the words, “pardon me,” stuck in my throat.
He looked at me from time to time, but seemed more grieved than angry. And I looked crossly
at him, to show him that I was not afraid.
He repeated, “We shall meet outside! ”And I said, “We shall meet outside!” But I was thinking
of what my father had once said to me, “If you are in the wrong, defend yourself, but do not fight.”
And I said to myself, “I will defend myself, but I will not fight.” But I was discontented, and I
no longer listened to the master.

第二节（满分 25 分）
One possible version:
At last the moment of dismissal arrived. When I was alone outside in the street I perceived that
Correti was following me. I stopped and waited for him, ruler in hand. He came up; I raised my ruler,
afraid.“No, Enrico,” he said, with his kindly smile, waving the ruler aside with his hand, “let us be
friends again, as before.”I stood still in amazement, and then I felt what seemed to be a push on my
shoulders, and I found myself in his arms.
He kissed me, and said: “We’ll have no more quarrels, will we?” “Never again! Never again!” I
replied. And we parted content. But when I went home, and told my father all about it, thinking to
give him pleasure, his face clouded over, and he said: “You should have been the first to offer your
hand, since you were in the wrong.” Then he added, “You should not raise your ruler at a friend who
is better than you are --at the son of a soldier! ”and snatching the ruler from my hand, he broke in
two, and hurled it against the wall.

第一节：
【原文】M: This month, our trip will be to the museum. We will take a school bus to the Colma
station. Then we’ll take the subway downtown. Yes, Tammy?
W: Can our parents drive us instead?
M: No, I want us to go as a group.
第二节：
【原文】W: I heard on the news that we’re finally going to be getting some rain in the next few days.
M: That’s good news. This has been one of the driest months on record, so I’m sure the trees really
need it.
第三节：
【原文】W: What a wonderful wedding that was! It will be a big task to sweep up all that litter.
M: The rules of the wedding hall say throwing colored paper is banned. Throwing rice is OK. And
even bits of torn-up newspaper are allowed.
W: That’s crazy!
第四节：
【原文】W: On the front page of yesterday’s newspaper, it says that you have come to an agreement
with the Canadian government. Can you tell us more about that?
M: Absolutely. We have agreed to continue working together to improve economic relations between
our two countries.
第五节：
【原文】W: Can I have something to drink? My throat is so dry from our workout earlier, and all I
had today was about a liter.
M: You need to drink some water then. I drink two liters a day usually, and an extra one when I
exercise.
第六节：
【原文】M: Let’s visit the steam railway tomorrow. It’s so exciting.
W: You’re like a little boy who wants to see those old trains pumping out smoke and steam.
M: I love the power and the size of them — but most of all I just love the steam. It is great to see
them in action and we can ride on one as well.
W: Yes. I like them, too. It is like going back to the old days when all trains were black.
M: Well, tomorrow there will be green ones and red ones, too.
第七节：
【原文】W: I understand that you’re looking to start a show within the next two years. Is this true?
M: Yes. I’ve always wanted to be one of the people you see on television talking to guests about
their careers.
W: Have you thought about other options? Those types of shows can be on many different types of
media. Many hosts start out on the radio, but now the technology is better and you can even make a
show on the Internet.
M: I want it to be the show that people watch while they’re eating dinner.
W: That’s a good goal, but it’ll be difficult to get you on television with just that idea. I suggest you
come up with something that makes you different from the other similar shows airing now.
第八节：
【原文】M: Can you pick up the name cards for the conference?
W: Sure, but I need to stop by the hospital first and drop off the card and gift we got for Andy.
M: Of course! I can’t believe I forgot about that.
W: I hope I bought him the right gift.
M: I’m sure it’s fine.
W: I hope so, because last year I wasn’t sure if he liked the birthday gift I got him. I bought him a
Lego Star Wars set, because I overheard him talk about it with Mary. But, when he opened it, he
asked me if I thought he was a child.
M: I remember that! That was funny! He was joking but you looked so lost. We just laughed at your
reaction.
W: OK, I figured he was joking, but I was not sure.
M: No, no. He appreciated it. How long will he be in hospital, do you know?
W: A few more days. He should be able to get back to work soon.
M: OK, great. Send him my best!
W: Will do!

【原文】M: Let’s go for a swim today.
W: How about going to the lake?
M: It’s too hot inland. The temperature is supposed to reach 105 degrees today.
W: Then where should we go?
M: I think the coast is the best place.
W: But the beaches will be too crowded today, won’t they? It’s Saturday, so everyone will have the
same idea as we do.
M: I know a place that isn’t as popular. That beach is rather small and rocky, but it will be suitable
for swimming.
W: Sounds great! I’ll pack our bags. Can you fix something for lunch? We can eat on the way.
M: Sure. Cheese sandwiches are easy to eat on the road. We can buy cold soda at the gas station.
W: I’d rather take iced coffee.
M: You’ll have to make it, then. I never know how you like it.
W: All right. Do you want me to pack a pair of pants for you?
M: No, I’ll just wear my swimsuit. I can dry off in the sun before we leave the beach.
W: I’ll take extra towels, just in case.
M: That’s good. We can lie on them in the sun.
W: And if there aren’t a lot of trees, we can hang up the towels for some shade.
M: You could do that, but not for me.

【原文】In today’s class, we will do a role-playing exercise to better understand what life was like
during the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th century. All the
information you need is in the instruction sheet in front of you. First, I will need to separate the class
into three groups. Each group represents a different class during that time period. The first group will
represent the upper class and play the role of owners of businesses in the city. The second group will
represent the middle to lower class and play the role of business managers. The third group will
represent and play the role of the working class. This last group will consist of different types of
working-class families, such as single-parent families and families who lost their parents. In addition
to those groups, I will need two students to represent the bank and two to represent security officers.
Each group will have a specific set of goals they must reach by the end of class while trying to
follow city rules, like paying taxes and keeping the city at peace. Any questions?
【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了人们生活的社区和社会都需要有规则来促进公平，
如果没有规则社会就无法运行。
5．词义猜测题。根据第二段的 A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but
unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings. The study found that this a so
happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly.可知，公平会让我们感到舒适甚至开心，
但是不公平会让我们的大脑产生负面情绪。他们的研究发现，当受到不公平对待时，这种情
况就会发生。根据句意可知 this 指代上文提到的“大脑会产生负面情绪”。故选 C 项。
6.推理判断题。根据第三段的 Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to
compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests.
This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.尽管有分歧，人们总是需要妥协的。
但是，当存在利益冲突时，很难达成妥协。这就是为什么社区有每个人都必须遵守的规则可
知，社区设立规则的目的是让人们能够达成妥协，即促进公平。故选 C 项。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段的 Internal controls come from within and are based on our values
and fears .In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.可
知，我们的内部控制基于我们的价值观和恐惧，使我们不做出引起冲突的行为。A. Take exams
honestly because cheating is shameful (诚实地参加考试，因为作弊是无耻的)是和我们的价值观
相关，属于内部控制，故选 A 项。
8.主旨大意题。根据第一段的 Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of
enforcing them.(几乎每一个社区都有某种形式的规则，和某种执行他们的方式)和最后一段的
This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.(这就是为什么一个没有规则的社会是不可
能的)可知，本文主要讲述了人们生活的社区和社会都需要有规则来促进公平，如果没有规则
社会就无法运行。A. Living by the rules (按规则生活) 可以作为本文的标题，故
