You can skip outdated science works, but not old literature // Edward Lytton
19th-century British novelist and Parliamentarian Edward Lytton was a firm believer in the
value of reading old literature.
“In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest,” he wrote in his 1863
essay collection Caxtoniana. “The classic literature is always modern. New books revive and

If you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the following ideas shared by some great
talents might help you out.
Read books from eras past // Albert Einstein
Keeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job, but Albert
Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works, too. Otherwise, you’d be
“completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a 1952 journal
article.
Don’t jump too quickly from book to book // Seneca
Seneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too
short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. “You must spend
much time among a limited number of master thinkers, if you would gain ideas which shall win firm
hold in your mind,” he wrote.
Shop at secondhand bookstores // Virginia Woolf
In her essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand
bookstores, where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm
which the carefully chosen books of the library lack.”
According to Woolf, looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something
that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers, who are often much more
selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners.
redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and inspire new ideas.”

Guanmei, a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group, is the inheritor of the Grand Song of
Dong (侗族大歌), a national intangible cultural heritage in China. Her hometown Zaidai Village in
Guizhou, southwestern China, is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.
The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago. The way Dong singers use their
vocal cords ( 声 带 ) is different from how formally trained singers do. It is a folk chorus with multi-
parts, no conductor, and no accompaniment. Organically growing from their natural surroundings, it is
recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature.”
Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958，the Dong culture, their history and stories
were all recorded by means of songs. As a Dong saying goes, “Rice feeds the body and songs enrich
the soul”. The Dong people sing right from their childhood. While not singing, they all work in their
rice field.
Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life, making her a famous singing
teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. “The songs are our means of passing on wisdom,
knowledge and life experiences to others. I will not exist in this world 100 years later, but Grand
songs will. I’m honored to do this job, ” Guanmei said.
Kind-hearted, Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong
children for over 30 years. Now she has more than 300 students. Guanmei is pleased to see the
village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.
“Nowadays, more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities. Decades later, the
英语试题 第 3 页 共 10 页 英语试题 第 4 页 共 10 页
Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs. We should do something
just now. It’s our mission. What is once lost might be lost forever,” added Guanmei.
4. What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as “the sound of Nature”?
A. The outstanding conductor.
B. The special musical instrument.
C. The attractive natural environment.
D. The inspiration from nature.
5. What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?
A. The Dong singers are professionals.
B. The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.
C. Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.
D. They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.
6. How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?
A. Concerned. B. Sympathetic. C. Optimistic. D. Satisfied.
7. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing thepassage?
A. To call on young people to return to the Dong village.
B. To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.
C. To show a woman’s efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.
D. To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.

Overly focusing on your goals may actually be counterproductive in the long run. Take it from
an Olympic athlete.
After Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, lost her balance in the 800-meter run, she lost the
race that would qualify her for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win
in the next race. “The track doesn’t care about your feelings,” she told New York Magazine
Intelligence. “You’ve just got to move forward.” She did indeed move forward and ended up winning
third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of
attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes
often leads to risk-taking, improper behavior and reduced motivation.
When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original
purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal
without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called
the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there
in the first place.
“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives
you the best chance of achieving it; and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that
process,” columnist Brad Stulberg said.
Ultimately, changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories
on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and
accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.
8. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Influential. B. Harmful. C. Satisfying. D. Unpredictable.
9. What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez’s story?
A. The ways to deal with failure.
B. The process matters more.
C. Determination means a lot for an athlete.
D. The consequence of making the right decision.
10. Why may some marathon runners experience the “post-race blues”?
A. Because they are satisfied with their achievements.
B. Because they haven’t gained what they want.
C. Because they haven’t got a further plan.
D. Because they lose sight of their original purpose.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How to set a long-term goal.
B. The way to realize your aim.
C. The benefits of fixing on the process.
D. How to shift your focus from goal to process.
D
A master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
is known by many as the greatest writer of all time. Even in 2020, 110 years after his death, his two
greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated
and highly influential.
“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel
once said. Tolstoy’s realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to mine the
depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in Anna
英语试题 第 5 页 共 10 页 英语试题 第 6 页 共 10 页
Karenina. In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia’s national soul and expresses public unity
through his many characters. His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the
minds of readers long after the final page is turned.
Tolstoy’s influence on literature is without comparison. Authors regularly mention his novels as
their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves. American writer
Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay. He wrote, “from his first words,
we can be sure of one thing at any rate – here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as
we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”
“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations. He gives positive
answers to the questions mankind is asking. In this sense he gives more hope,” Tolstoy’s great-great
grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.
Tolstoy’s message of peace has even had an effect on the real world. He inspired the leader of
India’s independence movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the
course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.
12. What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?
A. The writing style of Tolstoy.
B. Tolstoy’s influence on other authors.
C. The characters in Tolstoy’s works.
D. The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.
13. Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage?
A. Humorous and caring.
B. Determined and optimistic.
C. Productive and hard-working.
D. Insightful and peace-loving.
14. How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage?
A. By contrasting with other authors.
B. By analyzing characteristics of his works.
C. By quoting comments and opinions.
D. By describing his deeds in life.
15. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Tolstoy and His Works
B. Tolstoy’s Life and Achievements
C. War and Peace: a Great Masterpiece
D. Tolstoy: a Writer Beyond Comparison

The convenience plastic offers has led to a throw-away culture that reveals the material’s dark
side. Many of its products, such as plastic bags and food wrappers, have a service life of mere
minutes to hours. 16
Plastic has been the biggest threat to ocean life for decades. Sunlight, wind and wave action
break down plastic waste to a certain extent, but it only succeeds in reducing it to smaller pieces.
17 They spread throughout the water and have been found in every corner of the globe, affecting
nearly 700 species, including endangered ones.
18 They range from birds to fish and to other marine animals. Most of the deaths to
them are caused by starvation. Small pieces of plastic have been found in more than 100 marine
species, including fish, shrimp, and some seashells. In many cases, these tiny bits pass through their
stomachs. 19 Stomachs so packed with plastic reduce the urge to eat, making them die eventually.
Tests have also confirmed cell damage and trouble with animals’ reproductive systems caused by
plastic-eating. Some species, such as oysters, produce fewer eggs if they wrongly take too much
plastic.
Fortunately, solutions are being found. Many scientists agree the top priority is to prevent plastic
waste from entering rivers and seas. 20 Better product design also should be taken into
account, as well as the reduction in producing unnecessary single-use plastic products.
A. Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics.
B. This makes plastic waste even harder to notice.
C. Millions of animals are killed by plastic every year.
D. Some pieces have even been found blocking their organs.
E. Half of all plastics ever produced have been made in the last 15 years.
F. It could be done with improved waste management systems and recycling.
G. However, they may remain in the environment for hundreds of years and cause a lot ofharm.

Electric vehicles are better for the climate than gas-powered cars, but many Americans are still
hesitant to buy them. One reason: the larger upfront cost (前期成本).
New data 36 (publish) Thursday shows that despite the higher sticker price, electric cars
may actually save drivers money in the long run.
To reach this 37 (conclude), a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
calculated both the carbon dioxide emissions 38 full lifetime cost – including purchase price,
maintenance and fuel – for nearly every new car model on the market. They found electric cars were
39 (easy) more climate friendly than gas-burning ones. Over a lifetime, they were often 40 (cheap),
too.
Climate scientists say vehicle electrification is one of the best ways 41 (reduce) planet-
warming greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, the transportation sector is the largest source
of emissions, most of 42 come from cars and trucks.
Jessika Trancik, 43 associate professor of energy studies at M.I.T. who led the research,
44 (say) the data would “help people learn about how those upfront costs are spread over the
lifetime of the car.” For electric cars, lower costs of maintenance and charging compared 45
gasoline prices tend to offset (抵消) the higher upfront price over time.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
With two full bags of cat food in her arms, Lila couldn’t stop smiling as she walked toward the familiar shop on the
corner. She was making her weekly visit to see Hussein, the barber. He spotted her through the picture window of his
quiet shop and burst through the door into the sunlight, stretching his arms wide with a Turkish greeting. The two
hurried over to the tiny food dishes lined up in the street corner and soon several cats began to appear.
Hussein took most of his spare time in the street, patting each cat and speaking softly. Lila had been leading a
volunteer animal rescue program in Turkey for the last three years and often reported relevant stories on her website.
As the two finished up and made their way back, Hussein’s smile faded and Lila noticed he was beginning to look
rather thin, so she asked him what was the matter. Hesitating for a while, Hussein said, “I am afraid I will lose this
barbershop.” Days before, Hussein was told that he must close the shop in two weeks. The landlord thought he couldn’t
pay enough rent and invited another tenant ( 租
户), one who wouldn’t feed cats outside all the time, but focus more on his business.
“As for me, I can find a job to earn a living. What I’m really worried about are the cats. Closing this shop, I won’t
have enough time and money to take care of them.” Hussein sighed deeply. Lila’s eyes began to flood as Hussein
expressed his worry. “Haven’t you thought about opening a new barbershop?” Lila asked. “But the storefronts ( 门头房)
nearby are too expensive and the ones far away are not available for me to take care of the cats.” Hussein said helplessly.
There were only seven days before Hussein left the shop. Lila feared for his very survival and for that of the
animals who depended on him. She realized that she should do something.
