Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, they are stuck at home to reduce the risk of infection (感染) through contact with others. That probably makes them feel blue.‎ ‎ As an Asian-American with half-Chinese blood, I wanted to do something to lift their spirits – especially young people. ‎ After talking with my mom, I felt that dancing was a good way to spread the message. I decided that hip-hop dance would be best for our purpose. Hip-hop dance combines upbeat (欢快的) music with quick movements, which unwinds (放松) tension and makes people feel at ease. I then invited some friends to join the video shoot, though we weren’t good at dancing. For a while, we couldn’t get our hands, legs and feet to move along with the rhythm. But my friend Ben said something that made us work harder: “I am so happy to make someone’s day and help them to stay strong, even though I have to step out of my comfort zone.” ‎ ‎ With this belief, we overcame our shyness and rehearsed (排练) many times together. After a day of hard work, we finished the video. To make it more cheerful, we still needed an upbeat song. After many online searches, we were attracted to Come On Song, a single from a Chinese band called The Flowers. With its delightful melody and heartwarming lyrics, the song perfectly fitted the optimistic and positive tone we wanted to convey in the video. ‎ ‎ Once our video was released, one of my Chinese friends, Li Zhiheng, said, “I like it very much. It brings me a new way to quell (消除) boredom.”‎ ‎ Though the exercise video can’t make magic, it expresses our sincerity and support in this difficult time. Maybe we can’t end the novel coronavirus immediately, but we can sweat and smile together. Believe that, once united, we will make a better day.‎ ‎24. What does “the message” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Many Chinese people are experiencing an unusual time.‎ B. It’s helpful to make good use of time at home.‎ C. Doing exercise helps reduce the risk of infection.‎ D. It’s important to cheer yourself up when you feel down.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined phrase “make someone’s day” mean?‎ A. Make someone feel grateful. B. Make someone feel happy.‎ C. Help someone to learn new things. D. Help someone to be a better person.‎ ‎26. What do we know about the author’s team?‎ A. Most of them were Chinese.‎ B. They were very good at dancing.‎ C. They worked hard on their video.‎ D. They asked a well-known Chinese pop band for help.‎ ‎27. According to the article, what kind of a person do you think the author is?‎ A. He is a caring boy. B. He is a slow learner.‎ C. He is competitive. D. He is very outgoing.‎ C Oxford‎ ‎University‎ has introduced confidence classes for female students to get them to compete for jobs in future and win chances to work in best companies. ‎ They may be young and gifted but research at the excellent institution has found that female undergraduates(大学生) are shying away from applying for jobs in banking, finance, management consultancy(咨询), engineering and resource management. Partly as a result, starting salaries for women when they graduate are on average ￡2,000 to ￡3,000 lower than their male counterparts. ‎ ‎“Women are earning less on leaving Oxford. It is ridiculous，” said Jonathan Black, the careers service director at the university. “We have high quality, high achieving students of both genders. But it appears that women are selecting lower paid jobs. They accept more prejudice in certain industries and are saying ‘I won't struggle for that really high paid job’. We are not trying to push loads of women but we are trying to say, you should feel able to apply for these sorts of jobs. Boys seem to have a more selfconfidence and see the bigger picture generally, even when their selfbelief is not necessarily based on any greater academic advantage.” ‎ The fourday programme at Oxford will help 45 female undergraduates improve their selfconfidence and decision making, think positively and build up their strengths. Confidence training will teach them how to deal with opposition and challenging situations. ‎ Successful female employees from RBS and BP, which are supporting the course, will talk about their lives and careers. RBS's involvement follows a promise by the bank to increase its national percentage of female graduate applications from 35 percent to 50 percent by 2014. ‎ Sophie Kelley, 20, studying law at Oxford, is hoping the course will make her more confident in courses and interviews. “I am applying to London law firms for vacation schemes and it is so competitive，” she said. “The rejection letters don't give any real feedback (反馈) so I'm expecting the programme might give me a hand and advice.” ‎ ‎28.Oxford‎ ‎University brings in confidence classes in order to help ________.‎ A.female undergraduates build up their strengths in daily life B.male undergraduate make friends with girls at university C.female undergraduates get success with more confidence D.females fight against challenges in face of danger ‎29.What is the worrying situation for female undergraduates?‎ A.They don't like to work in companies offering low wages.‎ B.Their opportunities are limited and their salary is lower.‎ C.There are fewer females admitted to Oxford University.‎ D.They refuse to work in banking and finance fields.‎ ‎30.What is the mistaken idea for female undergraduates?‎ A.They themselves don't like working on resource management.‎ B.They themselves think they are superior to boys in all sides.‎ C.They themselves think men and women are born equal.‎ D.They themselves think they are not good as boys.‎ ‎31.What can we learn about Sophie Kelly?‎ A.She hopes to benefit more from the program.‎ B.She has been rejected by the program at Oxford.‎ C.She feels the program is ridiculous in modern society.‎ D.She isn't fit for the world of competition and challenges.‎ D Scientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals(晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.‎ The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica，Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston，who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA，the space agency of the United States，says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.‎ She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.‎ The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs(病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.‎ NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week’s announcement.So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them.“Why are we surprised？”Noonan asked.“As a biologist，I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”‎ Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.‎ ‎32.The existence of the ancient microbes relies on .‎ A.surrounding insects B.eating minerals C.diverse plants D.absorbing air ‎33.What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?‎ A.The temperature in the caves is quite low.‎ B.The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.‎ C.The walls are covered by crystals.‎ D.The caves have been explored since they were formed.‎ ‎34.What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?‎ A.Neutral. B.Doubtful.‎ C.Positive. D.Indifferent.‎ ‎35.What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A.Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.‎ B.Caves provide living environment for living organisms.‎ C.Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.‎ D.Scientists discover 50,000yearold “super life” in Mexico.‎ 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。‎ How to Overcome Depression Suffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month.

The spring semester has been postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, we are studying at home via online platforms every day.We are offered a variety of classes, ranging from regular courses such as Chinese and math to special courses like mental health and red culture.During this special period,teachers usually send daily arrangements and assignments to our WeChat group. We are required to clock in（打卡）on the platform. Online study prodvides great convenience for us. However, our eyes may get tired after staring at the screen for a ‎ long time. Besides, I find self-discipline is the most challenging thing for me. I often put things off till the last minute. I miss the time when we could study in the classroom. I hope we can get through this tough time as soon as possible.‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua
