II. Grammar and vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.
For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; far the other blanks, use one
word that best fits each blank.
The rituals (彳义式) of office work used to mean communication with colleagues was a given. Chats in the coffee
room, communal birthday cakes or a shared walk to the car park at the end of the day provided brief moments to connect
outside daily tasks. (21)people didn't directly work together or weren't on the same team,
employees had at least some colleagues to exchange a few casual words with throughout the workday.
The switch to remote work (22)(change) that recently. Now, employees work via virtual channels: they
interact with the people they share tasks with. For many, there is no work-related reason to seek out colleagues (23)
aren't connected to their roles and workloads, and many people's work worlds have shrunk - no more Just
because' chats to the woman in IT or guy in accounts. Colleagues who used to be small - but important - parts of
workers' office lives are now effectively ghosts.
It's clear this impacts workers; research shows many remote employees feel less connected to their teams and
companies. Solving the problem is difficult - after all, Slacking or Zooming a co-worker you don't know well, for no
work-related reason, could feel decidedly odd. Yet finding ways (24) (restore) these post-pandemic work
communities (25)be key to ongoing wellbeing at work.
A study by a team of US academics and Microsoft researchers analysed email data sent from 1.4 billion
professional email accounts across thousands of organisations, including Microsoft, between July 2018 and November
2020. and identified similar results. Organisational silos (组织孤岛)became (26) (defined) during the
pandemic, and these silos also became less connected to each other (27)people talked mainly to their ovvn
team members. This trend persisted even as the silos themselves became unstable, for example when members left the
company.
When the pandemic forced a sudden switch to full-time remote work, connections with colleagues were very
different. The shift came as the company prepared for a global launch, meaning the workload was intense. Instead of
being a joy, long virtual meetings with external contacts left Thomson (28)(drain). Interactions with colleagues
were reduced to daily 15-minute check-ins, as opposed to the casual chats she used to have on and off all day.
“It was pretty productive, (29)there wasn't any downtime at all,“ she says. The opportunity to chat, to
joke or to have conversations had been squeezed out. Contact with some of her indirect colleagues and work contacts
stopped altogether, (30)(shrink) her social circle at work. "For those of us who are more extrovert, a lot was
lost,“ she says.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that
there is one word more than y** ou need.
A. pressed B. candidate C. negative D. improvements E. technically F. ordinarily

A failed study, a happy accident and a promising treatment for blindness
In the textbooks, science is simple. You come up with an idea, put it to the test, and then accept it or reject it
depending on what your experiments reveal. In the real world, though, things are rarely that straightforward, as a paper
just published in Science Translational Medicine shows.
The disease in question is Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). A defective gene in a patient's mitochondria
一 the tiny structures that provide a cell's energy - causes retinal cells to die. That leads to sudden and rapid loss of
sight, with many (31)becoming legally blind within a year. It affects between one in 30.000 and one in 50.000
people. Men in their 20s and 30s are particularly susceptible. Treatment is limited and not quite effective.
Since most cases are caused by a mutation (突 变)in a single gene, LHON is a good (32)fbr gene therapy,
a form of genetic engineering which aims to replace the defective gene with a working one. With that in mind, Dr
Yu-Wai-Man, an ophthalmologist at Cambridge University, and his colleagues loaded up a(an) (33)virus with a
corrected copy of the gene and injected it into their patients' eyes.
Many viruses can insert their genes into the DNA of their hosts. That is (34)a bad thing, because cells so
subv夕 ted(破坏)produce more copies of the virus. In this case, the hope was that infection would be a good thing. The
defanged virus could not (35). But it was capable of replacing the damaged gene with a working copy.
Most medical studies make use of a control group, against which the (36)of the treatment can be measured.
Here, the researchers controlled the experiment by injecting only one of each patient's eyes — chosen at random — with
the vinis. The other eye was given a sham injection, in which a syringe (注豺器)was (37)against the eyes, but
nothing came out of it. Using two eyes in the same patient makes for a perfect control: their genetic make-up is (38)
, and any confusing lifestyle factors are removed from the equation.
The researchers had hoped to see a big improvement in the treated eyes, compared with the untreated ones. They
did not, and fbr that reason the study failed in its primary objective. Instead, in more than three-quarters of their patients,
they saw substantial (39)in both eyes.
On the face of it, that was bizarre. Only one eye had received the treatment, after all. The virus, it seems, had found
a way to travel from one eye to the other, probably via the optic nerve. Although it had a happy outcome in this case, the
prospect of a gene-therapy virus travelling to places it is not intended to go might worry regulators.
And, though the study was (40)a failure, its practical success means that an effective treatment fbr LHON
may at last be in reach. GenSight Biologies, the company that has developed the treatment, has already sent its results to
Europe's medical regulator. It hopes to hear back by the end of 2021.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words ov phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each
blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
With vigorous promotion and extensive participation over the past two years, waste sorting is a new trend that has
reshaped the image of campuses across Beijing.
“In the past, sanitation workers sorted the garbage next to the trash cans near the donnitory, (41) a
disgusting odor. On windy days, the trash was blown everywhere and we always (42)around it with our hands
covering our noses," says Sun Jiajing, a sophomore at Beijing Forestry University. "Now, we are more active in
classifying waste.55
Since a revised guideline on household waste disposal in Beijing was (43)on May 1, 2020, many students
have seen their campuses take on a new look that is more pleasant, tidy and appealing.
At Beijing Forestry University, about one in four students are trash-sorting volunteers.
In the Beijing No 20 High School, bins to recycle waste are placed on each floor and students on duty will set their
wits to turning trash into (44).
“I received training on trash classification before taking on the role as head of the trash-sorting station. My job is to
remind everyone to classify waste and recycle to the best (45) J says Ding Shuyi, a student at the school.
As China pushes (46)the "double reduction'' education policy, which aims to ease the burden of (47)
homework and o年campus tutoring for primary and middle school students, understanding of waste sorting has
been fused into academic teaching via various innovative approaches.
"Our Chinese teachers encourage students to write poetries (48)on waste classification, math teachers lead
them to do math on topics such as water conservation, while our music teachers choreographed a 'waste sorting' dance
with the students J says Zuo Chunyun, principal of a primary school in the suburban Tongzhou district of the capital.
Zuo adds that students in senior classes will join trash-sorting projects and map out (49)in the form of
handwritten newspapers and mind maps. Decorations made from recycled materials are exhibited in the school's
corridors.
The same scene can be seen in Qianjin Primary School, Haidian district. "Garbage can be turned into (50)
says Wang Liping, the principal. "We have raised 100,000 yuan (SI5,760) of charity funds by encouraging
students and their parents to recycle waste, and the money was used to purchase movie screens for schools in Hotan,
Xinjiang.^^
According to Liu Jianguo, a professor at Tsinghua University, the implementation of garbage sorting depends on the
(51) participation and unremitting efforts of society, which is conducive to the (52) of social
civilization.
“Wide participation of students and school staff will help promote garbage sorting to become a new fashion in
society,” adds Liu.
Official data shows that over 90 percent of the residents in Beijing have participated in waste classification, and
about 85 percent can (53)categorize the garbage. But still, relevant departments are (54)to further
raise the ratio.
"Our next move will be more precise supervision of groups that did (55)poorer jobs m sorting out
garbage,” says a staffer with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is fallowed by several questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the
information given in the passage you have just read.
A
A huge crowd has gathered to watch China's new scientific research ship enter the water for the first time. This ship,
equipped with on-board labs and the latest scientific kit, will eventually explore the world's oceans. But it is also going to
help China plunge beneath the waves: it will serve as a launch-pad for submarines that can dive to the deepest parts of
the ocean. "Humans know much less about the deep oceans than we know about the surface of the Moon and Mars.
That's why I want to develop the facility fbr ocean scientists to reach the deep seas J says Prof. Cui Weicheng.
He is the dean of deep sea science at Shanghai Ocean University but he has also set up a private company called
Rainbow Fish, which built the new research ship and is busy developing submersibles. One of its unmanned subs
reached a depth of 4,000m (13.000ft) in its most recent trial. But Rainbow Fish's ultimate goal is manned exploration
and it plans to take humans to the very bottom of the ocean the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific, at a depth of nearly
IhOOOm (36,000ft).He shows me around a life-size model of the submarine and explains that there is room inside fbr a
crew of three, who will be protected by a thick metal sphere. "At the moment, we are in the design stage, so we are
testing several extremely high-strength materials for it.'Tt will have to bear immense pressures from the crushing weight
of water above. If there are any weaknesses, the submarine will implode.The deepest ocean is a place few people have
ever experienced first-hand.The first dive to the Mariana Trench was carried out in 1960 by US Navy Lieutenant Don
Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Picard. Their vessel, the Bathyscaphe Trieste, creaked and groaned as it made the
descent, taking nearly five hours.
The only other manned expedition was carried out by Hollywood director James Cameron, who took a solo plunge
in a bright green submarine in 2012.Rainbow Fish wants its sub to be next. The team insists its venture isn't about
politics and that it is looking to collaborate with American, Russian and European scientists. It is, though, a commercial
operation. The company plans to charge people to use its research ship and submarines, and is targeting three groups,
says managing director Dr. Wu Xin. "The first is definitely the scientists who are interested in studying deep-sea science
and technology. The second group is oflshore companies and oil companies. The last one is tourists and adventurers
[who] want to go down themselves to have a look at what*s going on there/1 he says. This kind of entrepreneurial
approach may be a new model fbr science in China. Deep-sea research is a difficult, high-risk activity - and much of the
ocean remains unexplored. But Cul who hopes to be the iirst Chinese person to reach the Mariana Trench, believes that
China could be the nation to truly open up this final frontier.
56. What function does the new scientific research ship serve
A. As a deep-sea facility for tourist adventures B. As a supply ship fbr scientific explorations.
C. As a station for observing giant squid. D. As a launch-pad fbr submarines.
57. What is Prof. Cui Weicheng currently doing
A. Testing high-strength materials fbr building submarines.
B. Designing a thick metal sphere for bearing space pressure.
C. Charting the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
D. Making plans fbr his dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
58. What does "this kind of entrepreneurial approach" in the last paragraph mean
A. Prof. Cui doesn't rely on government funding. Instead he runs a for-profit business
B. Prof. Cui is bold in his submarine design.
C. Prof. Cui, who started the company, is a professor-turned entrepreneur.
D. Prof. Cui is the first to offer his ship for tourists.
59. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage
A. Deep-sea science and technology B. Ocean exploration
C. Race to the deep D. The rising of Rainbow Fish
B
The Chinese people attach great importance to mianzi. There is no corresponding English term for mianzi, but its
meaning is somewhere between paying attention to image and honor. In the Chinese language, many deiivative (派生的)
words and expressions with mianzi as the root have come into being, and all of them reflect important aspects of Chinese
culture.
Hao mianzi (to be concerned about image and honor) is widely regarded as a characteristic Chinese cultural feature.
When Confucius accepted new students 2,500 years ago, he asked them to give a few kilograms of dned meat as tuition.
But the sage was so concerned about mianzi that he called the dried meat presents, not tuition or fees.
Hao mianzi reflects the concept of image and honor. In China, there is a protocol to everything which should be
followed to avoid embarrassment. And hao mianzi is all about avoiding embarrassment.
A few months ago, my wife got a phone call from one of her high school classmates living in a neighboring city,
inviting her to her son's wedding. My wife made several phone calls to find out how much the present for the bridegroom
should be worth.
In China, when one is invited to attend a wedding, a birthday party or any other special occasion, one is supposed to
bring with him or her some present. The values of such presents have been changing with time - four decades ago, it
could be an enamel bowl, a thermos flask or a bed sheet but now the best option is cash. The amount should not be too
small, or else you could be considered a miser, or too big to become a burden on the receiving party, for he/she has to
gift a present of a similar amount in return when the occasion arises.
Such gifts or presents, in Chinese, are called suili, and generally range from a few hundred yuan to more than 1.000
yuan ($156.96), depending on the family's income.
After my wife found out that the widely accepted sum of suili in the city where her former classmate lived was 600
yuan, she put six 100 yuan bills in an envelope and set off for the neighboring city. Gifting less than 600 yuan would
have made my wife diu mianzi (lose face) while by gifting a lot more than that, she could have embarrassed the other
guests.
Happy to see my wife, her friend said the fact that she come all the way from Beijing to attend the wedding was so
zheng mianzi (face gaining). But her thankfill words also implied that if my wife had not attended the wedding, she could
have been blamed for bugei mianzi (not giving lace).
The Chinese people are very serious about mianzi. There have been reports about immigrant workers spending an
entire year's savings on suili when returning home for Spring Festival during which many weddings are usually held.
But today's youth do not care much about mianzi. Going Dutch is becoming popular, especially among white collar
workers when dining out or traveling together. Also, the youth can always find a good reason to skip ceremonies that
require them to gift suili.
For them, mianzi does not depend on how others look at you but on your own level of satisfaction - be it from
career achievements or high-quality living.
60. Why was Coniucius, example referred to in the passage
A. To show that Conflicius was also a meat lover.
B. To identify mianzi as a cultural feature around the world.
C. To honour Confucius7 kindness in accepting students for free.
D. To indicate that Confucius was concerned about his image and honour.
61. What does the underlined word “protocol" mean
A. practice. B. taboo. C. embarrassment. D. conflict.
62. What can be implied from the passage
A. Chinese tend to think suili a must in their life, especially the youth.
B. The values of suili have been settled since decades ago.
C. Chinese think of suili as an inevitable burden of life.
D. Suili can also be treated as a derivative word with mianzi.

Colorado; a place we usually associate with snow-capped mountains and green grassy
meadows, winter skiing, and kayaking in its clear, mirror-like lakes. But did you know the state
is also home to a 30-square-mile sand dime (沙 丘)field
Nestled on the eastern edge of the San Luis Valley, and beside the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains, this fantastic landscape features dunes that are up to 750 feet high and are perfect
for hiking, camping, and photo opportunities.
The tallest sand dunes in North America are situated in the diverse landscape of wetlands, forests, mountainous
lakes, tundra, and grasslands - providing a patchwork of color. Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is so
unusual and unique, in fact, that it is a protected landscape under the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Tlie four main components of the sand dune system are the mountain watershed, the dune field itself the sand sheet
-a flat plot of sand with large grains - and the sabkha - a coastal mudflat or sandflat. The dunes were formed over tens
of thousands of years by sediments。定不只力勿)from the surrounding mountains that filled the valley. In addition, as the
lakes in the valley retreated, exposed sand was blown by the winds, resulting in dunes.
Tlie park was originally labelled a protected area back in 1932, by President Hoover, after fears of gold mining or
concrete manufacturing alarmed residents of the nearby Alamosa and Monte Vista cities, who then petitioned Congress
asking for protection. The area was eventually upgraded from a national monument to a national park and preserve in
2004.
It contains a mind-boggling 1.2 cubic miles - or 5 billion cubic meters - of sand. Evidence of human habitation,
however, dates back to 11,000 years, with the first historic peoples to inhabit the region being the Southern Ute Tribes.
Now, visitors have numerous activities to enjoy - from sandboarding and sand sledding to four-wheel driving. But
the best adventure comes at nightfall; the adventurous can backpack over sand dunes to pitch a tent and enjoy the
stunning starry night skies when the sun goes down. (Althougli backpackers will need a permit and can be required at the
visitor's center.) The park's elevation at 8.200ft and rural location makes it a favorite with dark sky stargazers, with park
officials offering special astronomy programs from May to September.
Ovemighters can bask in the still silence, indulge in this remote, isolated region of the county, and be soothed to
sleep by the wind whistling through the dunes. If you want to camp out, but backcountry isn't your style, Pinon Flats
Campground is nearby and run by the National Park Service, with 44 sites that are first-come, first-served, with a further
44 sites that can be reserved.
By day, tourists can hike to the summit of Star Dune, the tallest dune in the park, while Crestone Needle, Cleveland
Peak, and Mount Herard also offer challenging elevation climbs.
And, as the park also ofiers special sand wheelchairs (it's recommended to reserve one in advance), everyone can
enjoy this stunning, once-in-a-lifetime experience in the sand dunes of Colorado.
63. Dunes came into being due to the fact that.
A. lakes in the valleys were blown dry due to the climate change in history
B. human overexploitation of resources drained the water in the valley
C. thousands of years of deposits from mountains filled the valley
D. deposits from mountains and wind blow on the drained lakes played a common role
64. The dune area was titled as a reservation in 1932 because.
A. President Hoover urged people to have a place for hiking and camping as a restoration.
B. The locals were deeply concerned about the consequences of gold mining on the enviromnent.
C. Residents of the nearby Alamosa and Monte Vista cities were too obsessed with gold mining.
D. President Hoover wanted to keep the tallest dunes in the area as a world record.
65. It can be inferred from the passage that.
A. the sand field features its dunes that are up to 750 feet high, a record m the world
B. according to the Southern Ute Tribes, their ancestors had already inhabited in the sand dune field 11,000
years ago
C. the park's location and height make it unique for stargazers to observe the night skies
D. 88 sites fbr camping are available for tourists in sand dunes area, with advanced reservation required
66. What's the best title for this passage
A. A Fantastic Place fbr Stargazers B. President Hoover's Decision
C. Camping on the Dunes D. Exploitation on Dunes
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be
used only once. Note that there are Mvo more sentences than you need.
A. "However, there are some clear differences in the emphasis put on different attributes, such as the value placed by
the Chinese on cguanxi\ the network of connections that a person has built up." he said.
B. Employers in both countries valued the personal skills of graduates seeking work in human resources.
C. The Chinese employers said the person who could complete a job and get things done was highly prized
D. That is the question Dr. 1'roy Heffernan, a senior lecturer in marketing at the University of Plymouth, set out to
answer through his involvement in one of 13 partnerships between institutions in the UK and China.
E. A draft of a report to be published later this year shows marketing executives m both countries put a high emphasis
on good communication skills.
F. The Chinese government issued a circular earlier this year urging universities and colleges to strengthen their efforts
in pieparing students fbr the woikplace.
China: Making Graduates Employable
Universities in China are facing similar demands to improve the employability of their graduates as those in the UK.
new research among employers has revealed. (67) In Britain, the government has set up its own
internship scheme to help graduates find work during the recession.
But what are the skills employers want and how much do they differ between the two nations ( 68 )
The partnerships are funded by the government through the British Council under the second phase
of the Prime Minister's Initiative for International Education. In this scheme, universities are encouraged to exchange
ideas and develop programmes aimed at improving the entrepreneurship and employability of graduates. "We found
employers in both countries put a great emphasis on leadership qualities and initiative - things that are learned through
the activities students engage in and the responsibilities they take on during their time at university," Heffernan told a
conference in London organised by the counciL which is inviting proposals for 10 new UK-China partnerships. (69)
Generally, it includes family and friends and links with people working in other companies, voluntary organisations,
or leisure activities. The Chinese also tend to take more time building up relationships with people before getting down
to business. The University of Plymouth and its partner China Agricultural University in Beijing are working to
determine the skills most likely to lead to employability and successful careers. Staff at both universities have conducted
face-to-face and telephuiie interviews with local employeis of giaduates in tluee areas, maiketiiig, human lesouices and
finance-accounting. (70) In the UK they chose communication including written and
verbal communication, networking skills and foreign language ability - as the top pnority followed by the ability to work
in a team.
Students in China generally lose touch with society and they need help to understand how companies work and
what is involved in the different jobs and professions. They know very little outside the campus and that is where I think
they differ from students in the UK. We can share our experiences.
IV. Summaiy Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than
60 words. Use your own words as fars as possible.
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home
and earned the income to support their families, while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the
children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people, and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange
their roles. But by the middle of this century, men's and women's roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s, economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force
developed called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American
goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare, men
began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact, some young men and women moved to communal homes or
farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. In addition, many Americans
did not value the traditional male role of soldier. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in
Vietnam.
In terms of numbers, the counterculture was not a very large group of people. But its influence spread to many parts
of American society. Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns. Industrial workers
and business executives alike cut down on “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with their
families. Some doctors, lawyers, and teachers aimed away from high paying situations to practice their professions in
poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s, the feminist movement, or women's liberation, produced additional economic and social changes. Women
of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers. Most of them still took traditional
women's jobs as public school teaching, nursing, and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally
male occupations: police work, banking, dentistry, and construction work. Women were asking for equal work, and
equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women. Naturally,
there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several
questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the
questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide
which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
The vaquita is one of the smallest members of the dolphin and whale family. Today, the animal is in danger of
disappearing.
The World Wildlife Fund estimates that about 10 vaquitas are left in the world. Last September, scientists found
two baby vaquitas in the wild. The discovery was a sign of hope. But biologists fear that more vaquitas die each year
than are bom.
A vaquita is about 1.5 meter long. Its name means Hlittle cown in Spanish. The mammals only live in the northern
part of the Gulf of California m Mexico. They are most often found close to the coast and quickly swim away if a boat
nears them.
The creatures were first discovered by humans in 1958. They can live fbr at least 21 years. Females are believed to
give birth every other year to a single offspring between February and April.
The vaquita population was estimated to be around 600 in 1997. The organization Save the Vaquita said the
population decreased 90 percent between 2011 and 2016.
Vaquitas are often caught in fixed fishing nets used to catch fish such as totoaba. Fishermen catch the endangered
totoaba illegally with such nets for cash, which is very likely to get vaquitas trapped as well.
In 2017, the Mexican government banned the use of such nets in the area to help save the vaquita. In January, the
Mexican Navy and the environmental group Sea Shepherd began a campaign to protect the rare animafs habitat in the
Gulf of California.
To prevent illegal fishing, local fishermen must pass a government inspection. But the Reuters news agency
recently reported that it observed fishermen entering the sea in places where they could avoid inspection.
Zak Smith is a director with the Natural Resources Defense Council. He said there was always a "good story" to be
told about what was being done for the vaquita.
But he said, " As soon as the cameras go away or the interest of the parties fades, all of those efforts go back to
where they were.**
Questions:
11. Which of the following description about vaquita is true
12. What did the Mexican government do to protect vaquitas
13. What can we infer from Mr. Zak Smith's comment
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
For more than a decade, bird photographer Yue Changhong has traveled over 180,000 kilometers and captured in
excess of 500,000 images.
"I like to take pictures of birds in different postures. They show the liveliness and beauty of nature,*1 says Yue, who
is from Pingluo county in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
Yue*s photos are mostly taken along the banks of the Yellow River, China*s second-longest river. The section of the
waterway in Ningxia is approximately 400 kilometers, forming lakes and wetlands along the way.
Yue is a regular visitor to these lakes and wetlands, taking photos of birds all year round. In the Tianhewan Yellow
River national wetland park in his hometown of Pingluo, Yue has found rare birds in recent years.
“The improving environment has given birds more choice in selecting their habitat/ Yue says.
In the I ianhewan Yellow River national wetland park, there are more than 180 bird species.
Yue and his wife often amve at the wetland before dawn or dusk to wait for a great outline shot. In the summer,
heat and mosquitoes are their biggest enemies, and in the winter, temperatures can plunge to-20℃.
The couple has even been attacked by wild dogs and once fell into an ice cave. Despite these experiences, Yue feels
enriched and satisfied when he posts bird photos on social media and receives likes from his followers.
HI want to record the environmental changes in my hometown. It is a meaningful thing to do," Yue says.
Over the years, Yue has witnessed how locals care for the birds. Forest farm workers prepare food for birds on
-rr
migration routes, and local residents often report wounded birds to local authorities.
"Humans should give back to nature, which has given us so much,11 Yue says.
Questions:
14. What did the photographer Yue take pictures of
15. What difficulties did the couple come across when taking pictures
16. What do we learn from the passage
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Good afternoon. Miss Pennington. You are in my Ainerican History 201 class, right How can I help you today
W: Good afternoon, Mr. Parson. Ifs about my tenn paper. I know it's due next Monday, but I don't think I can get it done
by then. Could I please turn it in by the end of next week instead I have a really good excuse.
M: Oh, I'm sure you do. Miss Pennington. Fve been teaching 33 years. Do you know how many excuses I've heard ”My
dog ate my paper." "My roommate had a party so I couldn*t concentrate.'* "I have seven papers due on the same day!"
"I went home to see my parents and my car broke down.”
W: I didn't forget, sir. I've been working on the paper, really! Here, I brought my outline and a rough draft. Ifs, um, just
that...well, a lot of things have been going on in my life, and I'm having trouble managing things.
M: I see. You know, I assigned that paper four weeks ago, and Fve been reminding students about it in each class. So,
tell me your story. What's happening in your life
W: First, about two weeks ago, my roommate found out her mother is real sick. She has lung cancer. So she's been really
upset, and, uh, I went home with her for a couple of days to see her mom. That caused me to miss biology lab, and I
have a huge biology final coming up on Tuesday that I really need to study for this weekend. Then I got the flu last
week, and missed a day of class. I tried to work on your paper that day, but I really felt horrible...
M: OK, 1 can understand that. Pm glad that yoifre helping your roommate through a tough time. Thafs more important
than school work. But all this seems to have happened recently. What about the two weeks after I first assigned the
term paper
W: I, uh ...I guess I didn't use that time very well. I kind of put off getting started on it.
M: [Sighs]. Yes, you did.
W: I'm sorry, Professor Dalton. Fve learned my lesson. If I had spent just a little bit of time each week on the paper, I
could have had it done on time. I know now that I need to plan for unexpected things.
M: When I was a young student, an upperclassman gave me some advice that Fve never forgotten. He said, nYou're
going to find yourself with a lot of small gaps during school days —15 minutes, or half an hour. Wliat you do during
those gaps will make a big difference in how successful you are.”
W: Wow! That's great advice.
M: Yeah, I thought so. And I still do. So I'll tell you what. You can turn your paper in no later than 9 a.m. Friday, right
here on my office desk. In exchange for this favor, I want you to pass that advice on to all your friends and dorm
mates.
W: Thank you, professor Parson! You bet I will.
M: Um, as long as you're here, let me take a peek at your outline and rough draft. Do you have any questions about the
paper that I can help you with
Questions:
17. Why does the student visit the professor'
18. According to the student, what problem did her roommate have
