There are endless sources to help you find your favorite Christmas tunes and many other songs. People have explored how to listen to holiday music with high-tech devices. Apple Music This is the first year you can use Apple Music to listen to holiday songs. Apple Music has more than 30 million songs and is available in over 100 countries. Tell voice assistant Siri to "play holiday music" to open the music program on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Apple Music app is available in the Google Play store, but not with a voice assistant. For the first three months, you can use it for free. After that, users have to pay a subscription fee(会员费). Google Play Music Google Play Music is also in the holiday spirit. Go to the Google Play Music Holiday page and search for "holiday music." Google Play Music is available for free if you don't mind the advertisements. If you do, buy a paid subscription to avoid them. Google Play Music offers more than 30 million songs from 58 countries. Tune In Radio Listen to radio stations with Tune In Radio. This is an online service and offers stations from all seven continents in the world, including Antarctica. Tune In Radio is available on your computer and is free to online users. In the United States, Britain and Canada, a paid subscription gives you more stations without advertisements. 21.What can we learn about Apple Music? A. It is popular in over 100 countries. B. It can only be used for three months. C. It can only be used after the subscription. D. It is a new tool to listen to holiday music. 22. According to the passage, Google Play Music _________. A. can always be used for free B. is favored by young people C. has the largest number of songs D. doesn't allow any advertisement 23. We can learn that Tune In Radio _________. A. have over 30 million songs B. is available on our mobile device C. offers stations from around the world D. is expensive in America and Canada B Other cultures can be different from ours in many aspects! People can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages. Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course. Today there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that, across cultures, people can recognize three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear. So what other types of universal languages might there be? Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by peoples all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it. We bet you could! Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3. 14159 no matter where you are. Likewise, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether you're counting in dollars, pesos or pounds. 24. What does the underlined word "this "in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. The fact that there used to be many languages B. The evidence that proves old languages funny C. The view that people only used one language D. The doubt that People didn't understand each other 25. Why is music regarded as a universal language? A. It can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life B. It can be understood more easily than languages C. It usually comes from different backgrounds D. It helps people to share common feelings 26. What are universal languages according to the passage? A. Music, dance and math. B. Math, English and music. C. History, culture and music. D. Emotion, pi and music. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Universal languages Connect Different Cultures B. Music Helps People Show Feelings C. Various Differences between Cultures D. Cross-cultural communication History C Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels(灰松鼠) during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and idly wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl". Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation(轰动). Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. "The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them," she said, "I am a lot more outgoing." And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though. This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can. 28.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The reason why Mary likes animals. B. The big change squirrels bring to Mary. C. The reason why Mary was ill in the past. D. The reason why people come to chat with her. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mary and squirrels received great attention on the internet. B. Mary is known as the "Squirrel Girl" in the community. C. Mary was more fond of squirrels than any other animals. D. Mary wishes to educate people on how to protect the animals. 30. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats? A. By putting them in cages. B. By playing music to them. C. By building a close relationship with them. D. By attracting them with colorful food. 31. Which words can best describe Mary? A. Confident and strong. B. Patient and caring. C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working. D A British-designed electronic newspaper which is made of plastic and no larger than a table mat (垫子) is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was conceived (想出) by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips (硅片) with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic, a company based in Dresden, Germany. "It looks just like a table mat, and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button, and read them quite safely," the BBC reported on its website. The plastic paper is produced in a safe "clean room" at the Plastic Logic factory, which opened last month as the world's first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product, from the screen to the electronics, is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as "top quality". Baker says the plastic newspaper could help solve the problem of waste material associated with traditional newspapers. "There's a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed(分发)all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesn't need to happen anymore. All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the appearance of paper." he says. People can expect to see the plastic newspaper next year, the BBC says. 32. According to the first paragraph, the electronic newspaper . A. is made of silicon chips B. was designed by more than one person C. was developed by a company in England D. is smaller than a table mat 33. What's special about the electronic newspaper compared with traditional ones? A. People can download and read lots of newspapers on it B. It looks like a table mat C. It's as light as a magazine. D. People can receive the BBC report at the touch of a button. 34. What can we learn about the electronic newspaper from the last two paragraphs? A. It will produce a huge amount of plastic waste. B. It will save a huge amount of paper. C. It will have no visual (视觉的) appearance. D. It will be harder to distribute than before. 35. What's people's attitude towards the electronic newspaper according to the BBC? A. Disappointed. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Worried. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Children’s Games in Ancient China Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phones, iPads or computers to entertain themselves. 36 . Let's take a look. Kicking stone balls During the Qing dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm.

Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 37 . For example, the swallow shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.

I am writing to tell you that I have bought some for you and that I will mail them tomorrow. Here are some tips for you to protect you from the virus. First of all, you are supposed to avoid going outside, especially crowded places. When you are out, be sure to wear a mask. In addition, remember to wash your hands frequently with soap under running water. What’s more, doing some sports and drinking more water will be helpful. I hope you and your family are doing fine there. If there is anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to tell me. All the best! Yours, Li Hua 原文: Text 1 W: My housemate is really messy. She always leaves a mess and won’t do any housework. M: You’d better point it out to her or just learn to live with it. Text 2 M: I still can’t believe France’s victory. W: They didn’t win by chance but rather because they performed better than the other team in the last minute. Text 3 M: Okay, here are my bag and my ID card. Do I need to take off my jacket and my belt? W: Yes, your shoes as well. And please show me your flight ticket, too. Text 4 W: I took the wrong bus again! I wasted all afternoon trying to get back to school. Why did they cancel the No. 15 bus? M: The new bus schedule is confusing at first. But why didn’t you call me to ride you back or just took a taxi? Text 5 W: My mother took my cell phone away. M: Why would she do a thing like that? W: You misunderstood her. I always complain about wasting too much time on the net. But I never did a thing about it. Text 6 W: What an amazing film! I can’t remember the last time I felt this good coming out of a movie theater! M: I know what you mean. Robert Redford is my favorite actor, so I knew I would like it. W: Yeah, but there were so many little things that were cool — the music, the lighting, the way the camera kept moving around… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more interesting film. M: It definitely got me thinking. Also, there was one part in the middle that was pretty sad… W: Oh, don’t remind me! I cried that whole time! M: Come on. Let’s get some coffee and pie and keep talking. W: Great idea. Text 7 M: Can I ask you a favor, Mrs. Bloomington? W: Sure. M: Instead of taking our test first thing in the morning, could we take it a little later? I think we’d do better on the exam if we had a little more time to settle into the school day. W: That’s a very interesting suggestion, Harris. What if we took the test after lunch? M: Mrs. Bloomington, I know a lot of my classmates like to rest for a while after eating. It might be better to do it before lunch. W: It sounds like you’re suggesting sometime in the middle of the morning, perhaps right before our 20-minute morning break? M: Yes, I think that would be perfect. W: Hmm. I can tell by everyone else’s faces that there is some agreement here. OK. Instead of 8:00 a.m., the test will be at 9:00 a.m. That means we’ll have 45 minutes to finish. M: Thank you! Text 8 M: Wow, I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold. W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it’s just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon. M: Interesting. I don’t think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I’ve been here. W: Yeah. We’re so far north that we’re exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true. M: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn’t be able to handle that for more than one season! W: I guess I’m used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon. I never noticed that life was worse because it was always dark. Text 9 W: What would you say on your strengths, based on your resume? You seem to have a lot of work experience. M: I work well both individually and in groups. W: What would you say might be a weakness in your work? M: Well, maybe I can be a little nervous at first and not confident in my work but that’s just in the beginning. W: That happens to everyone. Our training will help you with that. M: That sounds great. W: Tell me where do you see yourself five years from now? M: Married, with a stable source of income, being good at what I do. I don’t think anyone can really accurately predict what their future might hold, but I know it’s a learning process and that is what I intend to do. W: Those are good answers. I have to ask them because part of this process is trying to figure out whether or not you are a good match for us. M: That’s fine. I expect to be challenged. W: Well, I think you just might be the person we’re looking for. Text 10 W: On July 20th, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event — from cars and televisions to food and drinks. In celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary, many such products are now available again. A product is Budweiser’s Discovery Reserve. The American beer company is bringing back a recipe from the 1960s. The packaging includes 11 stars to represent Apollo 11. Something for children — as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander. The cookie company Nabisco is making a purple Marshmallow Moon version of its famous Oreo cookies. Other things for sale include shirts with the Neil Armstrong expression “one small step” on them. He spoke those words as he placed his foot on the moon. There are also socks with the huge Saturn V rockets on them.查看更多
