China's admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of TuYouyou, the Chinese pharmacologist (药理学家) who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine, into a popular tourist destination.‎ Since it was announced on Monday that 85-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children—even though it is not open to the public.‎ The house, where Tu lived until she went to university in Beijing, covers an area of 2, 200 square meters and is priced at 150 million yuan ($23.6 million)．It is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings, including several city-and-district-level cultural relic preservation sites, that have been transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone.‎ ‎“There are continually parents taking their children, from infants in strollers to college students, to take photos in front of Tu's former home. Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,” said Mr. Zhao, a salesperson from Ningbo Real Estate Inc. Co.‎ Shanghai‎ resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday. “Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities (名人) is a way to inspire them to study harder, ” Xu said.‎ Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi‎, ‎Shandong Province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize.

How you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!‎ There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behaviors, and close relationships.‎ How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seemingly cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.‎ Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as attitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.‎ If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you” that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.‎ ‎28. What are the characteristics of personality?‎ A. Personality is constant and won’t change. ‎ B. Personality won’t influence people’s actions in specific ways.‎ C. Personality influences people psychologically and biologically. ‎ D. Personality can be conveyed through behaviors, emotions, thoughts and so on.‎ ‎29. What can you infer from paragraph 3?‎ A. Only your race, age and sex can contribute to your personality.‎ B. Your race, age and sex can be controlled by yourself.‎ C. People who experienced racial discrimination are always cold and unfriendly.‎ D. The world distinguishes you according to how you present yourself to them.‎ ‎30. How does the text mainly develop? ‎ A. By following the order of time.‎ B. By giving clear explanations.‎ C. By giving useful examples.‎ D. By following the order of importance.‎ ‎31. Where can this text probably be adapted from?‎ A. A newspaper B. A magazine on culture C. A scientific fantasy book D. A fairy tale D There are many reasons why we leave home to study far away. Increasing numbers ‎ of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland．‎ According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate（研究生）programs on the mainland totaled ‎461 in 1996, ‎928 in 1997 and ‎839 in 1998. “Although no latest official numbers were available,” Netbig.Com said, “this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.”‎ The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture on the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Net. Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said．“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field on the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shanghai‎ ‎University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.‎ A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National‎ Taiwan ‎University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig. Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.‎ At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned on the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates（证书）from selected universities.‎ ‎32. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because ___________.‎ A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later B. the fees asked for are lower than those of ‎Taiwan C. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future D. there are many famous universities for them to choose ‎33. The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to __________. ‎ A. Netbig.Com B. a Chinese education on the mainland ‎ C. the Chinese job market D. the university ‎34. Some companies would like to see Taiwan students to study on the Chinese mainland so that ___________.‎ A. They could receive better education ‎ B. They could learn more about the policy there C. They could do well in the business operations ‎ D. They could make more friends there ‎35. The author wrote the article to tell us ______________.‎ A. the number of Taiwanese going to the mainland had been increasing year after year B. more and more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainland C. education on the mainland is more attractive compared with that of ‎Taiwan D. Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every field 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。‎ ‎__36__Safety in the highway is not totally out of our hands. Here are four ways to protect ourselves when we travel.‎ ‎__37__People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people travelling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps.

A belt can reduce the chance of deadly injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.‎ Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers—when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy. __39__ Effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.‎ Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. __40__Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties for drinking and driving.‎ A. How can we drive smoothly?‎ B. You are safer in a large car.‎ C. Drunk driving is the most serious problem.‎ D.
