Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners. As a Canadian living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an "opportunity (机会)" to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, American or English, you should practice speaking English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me non-stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...
Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company (陪伴) they really enjoy. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush. __________________ If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find that you don’t have a foreign friend for long.
1．Where is the writer of this passage from

2．Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book "How to make friends with foreigners"

A．foreigners like to make friends with Chinese
B．it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questions
C．you should choose a good foreigner to practice English with
D．don’t waste time on a foreigner who doesn’t answer your questions

A．he had no better sentences to express his ideas.
B．he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
A US high school with barely 200 students is producing some of the world’s most advanced technology.
Students at this Minnesota school made ethanol-fueled (乙醇为燃料的) cars with improved fuel efficiency (效能) and other inventions, too. And now, the students are designing a washing machine for outer space.
They hope it will be accepted by NASA for use on the International Space Station.
NASA asked for proposals through its HUNCH program, which is short for “High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware”. Braham Area High School is one of the 100 schools in the program.
The challenge is to come up with a good way to wash clothes on long-term space missions, where air and water don’t mix and soap can’t be used. On shorter space missions, astronauts simply throw away their dirty clothes. For longer missions, a different solution is needed.
The team has already built a system using a series of pumps (泵) and vacuum chambers (室), but NASA feared it might not be durable (耐用的).
The washing machine isn’t the only NASA project Braham students are working on. They’re also designing and building a track system to hold equipment. NASA said it plans to use their system.
They’re also designing an automated (自动化的) feeding system for space mice. NASA regularly takes mice into space as test subjects.
“To get a kid that does something they never thought they could do, that’s really great,” said Luke Becker, the school’s technology teacher. “There are kids who never planned to do anything in technology until they had these opportunities.”
1. The students in Braham Area High School are working on _____.
① electric cars ② washing machines for outer space
③ a track system ④ an automated feeding system
A. ①② B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. ①②③④
2. What is the HUNCH program about
A. It chooses high school students for space travel.
B. It teaches students about advanced space technology.
C. It’s a science competition for US high school students.
D. It collects ideas for space technology from high school students.
3. What do we know about the washing machine being designed by Braham students
A. It is designed for short space missions. B. It is expected to be used in long-term missions.
C. A pump helps soap melt in water. D. The machine has a built-in track system.
4. What do we know about Braham students
A. All of their inventions are intended for outer space.
B. They are confident that their inventions will help people.
C. Their automated feeding system is being used in space.
D. They are supported by their school to make technology.
5. The passage is mainly to _____.
A. introduce a special washing machine
B. show some high-tech inventions made at a US school
C. introduce NASA and famous schools in the US
D. report on recent cooperation between NASA and US high schools

John Dunlop, an Englishwoman, writes something about her experience with food from China. Since the COVID-19 broke out in London, cooking has become a way for her to deal with the “endless lockdown(封锁)”. She says she cooks in a very relaxed way, going to the farmers' market at the weekend to buy seasonal products for everyday cooking — a mixture of Jiangnan, Hunan, Guangdong, and Sichuan dishes.
“For me, there are so many wonderful things about Chinese food. The thing that I find is greatest about it is that you can eat food that is both really delicious and incredibly healthy,” Dunlop says. “The Chinese are experts at cooking vegetables.”
Growing up in Oxford, Dunlop dreamed of becoming a cook when she was little. However, her dream did not come true until she came to Chengdu, as a university student. That was when she began learning local cooking skills.
Always keeping a notebook on hand wherever she went, she wrote down the recipes of the dishes she tasted. Based on her knowledge of Sichuan cuisine(烹饪), Dunlop published her first book, Sichuan Cookery, which was praised by a famous British diet magazine. She has written a book called Land of Fish and Rice, which is about recipes from Jiangnan. In the book, Dunlop displays her good understanding of the food culture that runs deep in the blood of Chinese people.
“Many of the old classic food books came from this region.” she says.
To better understand the context (背景) of the food in Jiangnan, Dunlop started reading Chinese classics like The Dream of the Red Chamber which contained detailed descriptions of dishes in ancient China.
After collecting all the recipes, Dunlop tested them at her home in London to make sure they worked for people in the West.
“What I want to do is to try to describe the recipes correctly.” She says. “I also like the dishes that I've enjoyed, or that have a particular meaning for me.” she adds.
1. According to the passage, what could not she buy in the market
A. Some potatoes. B. Some carrots. C. Some clothes. D. Some onions.
2. What does “incredibly” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. carefully B. unbelievably C. happily D. lately
3. What’s the name of her first book
A. Sichuan Cookery. B. Land of Fish and Rice.
C. The Dream of the Red Chamber. D. Professional Cooking.
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage
A. John Dunlop is from UK. B. The Chinese are good at cooking.
C. John Dunlop grew up in China. D. Dunlop enjoys the Chinese dishes.
5. What is the main idea of the passage

Fan Shenghua is one of the inheritors(继承人) of West Lake Longjing tea roasting technique(炒茶技艺). He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years.
Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape.
“You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed(去除)，” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, thetea will taste bitter(苦的)．”
This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.
These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It's easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.”
In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms(手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology.”
Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27 year old college graduate, is one of them. “It's a tradition. We need to pass it down,” he said.

A.It is easier than by hand. B.It has a long history in China.
C.It makes tea taste better and better. D.It becomes an important part of tea culture.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Fan's son studies tea culture in college. B.Fan will open his own tea houses in China.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
Chinese people are eating too much salt. On average, people in China eat about 10. 5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended(建议)by Chinese Dietary Guidelines(2016).
China now has one of the highest salt intakes(摄入量) in the world. To fix this, China had the first salt reduction(减少) guide for its food industry.
If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques(技术) and adjusting(调整) flavors.
The salt we take in mainly comes from processed(加工的)food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips has about 0. 66 grams of salt in it, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kang Shifu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks(心脏病)and strokes(中风), the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, your taste buds(味蕾) will gradually get used to it and you will feel that your food tastes the same as it did before.
1.China worked out a salt reduction guide because .
A. salt is very bad for health
B. salt in China is getting less and less
C. Chinese people cat about 6 grams of salt each day
D.Chinese people are eating too much salt than average in the world
2. If the guide is fallowed properly, what change will take place in China
A. Many people will find the food not salty.
B. There will be no more processed food.
C. Chinese people will take in less salt than they do now.
D. Chinese people will not get enough salt in the future
3. Which of the following is True according lo the passage
A Al processed food often contains too much salt
B. I's hard for people to reduce salt intake.
C. Eating too much salt can drop the risk of some illnesses
D.Too much salt intake increases the risk of some diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and so on.
4. What does the author want to tell us in the last two paragraphs
A. High blood pressure is common in China B.Taking in less salt can make us healthier.
C. There is no need to worry about alack of salt D. Our taste buds prefer the flavor of salt.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there's always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do was realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don't just accept change; they embrace it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading book every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.
1.The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that________.
A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B.we are responsible for the problems we meet
C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs
2.What does the underline word "embrace" mean
A.To include something B.To accept something enthusiastically
C.To hold someone tightly D.To refuse something directly
3.What is the key to solving Jane's problem
A.She needs to remember why she started.
B.She has to know how to get on with people.
C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
4.The writer probably agrees that________.
A.The world tells us how to improve ourselves
B.People change when they find it easy to do that
C.Welcoming change in life is a drive to become better

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
What can you do to help yourself get out of stress or worry If you're an artist, you keep making art. And if you have never considered yourself an artist, now it is the time to take up an artistic hobby such as drawing or painting. It is never too late to start. Everyone can do it. If you can hold a brush or crayon, you can create art.
Creating art heals(治愈) not only the mind and spirit but also the body since all of these are connected. As you draw or paint, your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, and your mind lets go of daily problems. This slowing down allows you to fully experience the moment. The process not only relaxes you but also brings a feeling of joy, increasing your energy and enthusiasm(热情) for life.
Making art also allows you to play, freeing you to find out and try out new materials and methods. It also lets you express pleasure by seeing beauty where others may not. Creating art provides you with a special chance to express your anger or upset, as well as your personal ideas.
Although the process of making art is the most important part, your finished product is significant too. Your painting or drawing will remind you of the lessons you learned while making it, and you may feel energetic just by looking at it.
If you don't know how to begin, here are some ways to start creating art. If possible, set aside a small table with your brushes and watercolors so you can get creative whenever you get inspiration. Without thinking much about it, just choose colors that you like and start painting with them, or cut pictures with those colors out of magazines and glue them down, combining(结合) them with paints. The act of enjoying the colors and working on the color combinations will give you something to focus on instead of the stresses of your daily life.
1.What do you need to do if you start making art according to Paragraph 1
A.Ask a teacher for help. B.Start as early as possible.
C.Be a young artist first. D.Just have a brush or crayon.
2.What can you learn about making art from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A.It is good for our health. B.It causes high blood pressure.
C.It's like playing games. D.It helps us solve daily problems.
3.Which of the following best explains “significant” underlined in Paragraph 4
A.Expensive. B.Useless. C.Important. D.Unexpected.
4.Which of the following is NOT true about how to start making art
A.You must be very careful while choosing colors.
B.You can begin painting whenever you get inspired.
C.You can get brushes and watercolors for preparation.
D.You may use magazines to make color combinations.
5.What's the writer's purpose of writing the text
A.To tell us how to be an artist. B.To introduce the history of art.
C.To encourage us to make art. D.To teach us how to choose colors.

Many teenagers spend their lives studying, playing video games and hanging out with friends—but not Henry Patterson, a teenage entrepreneur （创业者）.
The 15-year-old boy from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of Englund, started his business journey at the age of 9 when he launched （ltd） his children’s brand Not Before Tea. The lifestyle brand for young people is based on a storybook called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, which is about a mouse and an owl who run a sweets shop, Patterson began by selling sweets, but he soon brought all the characters in the book to life through products such as bags and soft toys. Today, the products are sold internationally.
In fact, Patterson’s early school years were difficult, which he often described as “fire and ice”.

But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually lost himself in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. To get over his stammer, he tried to articulate（清晰表达）himself and even developed a love for public speaking.
Now at 15, Patterson wrote a business book called Young and Mighty, which describes his search for success and happiness.

In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future. On 8th September,2020,The Guardian published(发表) an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that "robot" comes from the Greek word for "slave"（奴隶）and that humans have nothing to fear from robots, which are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading Can robots and humans work together
YES - they're here to help humans.
Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people's jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots' programming could actually make them more trustworthy than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings.
NO - humans should not trust robots.
Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case. An experiment in Switzerland found that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI(人工智能）, robots could start to act in their own interests.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness（自我意识）, can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you're self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence(信心).The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self-aware It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don't be afraid to dislike something ---- discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.
1. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. What self-awareness is. B. What true happiness is.

阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires. There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation (辐射) given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees' navigation systems (导航系统). Bees have built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives. But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. It is believed they are dying far from their hives.
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them. Without bees, the crops can't continue to grow. Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, London beekeeper, said to the reporter, "My business is becoming worse. Twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty."
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not, but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers. And we can't manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it right now—before it's too late.
1. What might be caused by mobiles according to Paragraph 1
A Poor listening. B. The forest fires.

2. What does the theory in the passage say
A. Bees have GPS inside their bodies. B. Mobiles have an influence on bees' hives.
C. The radiation makes bees unable to fly. D. The radiation makes bees lose their way home.
3. The underlined word "pollinate" probably means "________" in Chinese.
A. 授粉 B. 污染 C. 啃食 D. 催熟

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence（AI）creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace（替代）artists.
But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to create the music based on the protein（蛋白质）structure of COVID-19. The music lasted nearly two hours. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor（教授）of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note (独特的音符) to each amino acid (氨基酸) is the protein. The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project “mind-blowing”. “It allows me to see the virus in a new way,” said one listener. This surprising combination (结合) between science and art could not be achieved without AI. As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond (超过) what they have ever thought was possible before.”
Apart from creating imaginative works, AI can also take care of repetitive (重复乏味的) tasks for artists. For example, in the comic and cartoon industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup. it can give artists room to experiment (实验) by cutting down the time it takes to color each picture.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip. “Art of every kind has always been influenced by technological developments.” AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not unfairly feared.
