21、 Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture  the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has

other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not

express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions

permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show

their emotions similarly.

 It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of  “reading” the other person incorrectly.

【1】What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?

A. Love. B. Politeness.

C. Joy.   D. Thankfulness

【2】The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A. show friendliness to strangers.

B. be used to hide true feelings .

C. be used in the wrong places.

D. show personal habits. 

【3】What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A. Learn about their relations with others.

B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C. Find out about their past experience.

D. Figure out what they will do next.

【4】 What would be the best title ?

A. Cultural Differences

B. Smiles and Relationship

C. Facial Expressiveness

D. Habits and Emotions

22、One of China’s greatest resources is no doubt its diverse food. One of the most popular foods to be found is no doubt the street snacks that make up a large part of everyday life. “Compared with A Bite of China, which show eases chefs’ cooking processes and delicious food on air, Chinese Barbecue (烧烤) is more down-to-earth in describing the people,” commented a viewer.

A new documentary series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food option that sizzles over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat shining over hot coal containers, while not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China, are an essential part of people’s night life. The pleasant smell and atmosphere surrounding the grilled (烤的) street food are “something that could entice a girl to fly downstairs at night wearing her pajamas,” the documentary claims.

In many Chinese’s eyes, barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from homemade food by mothers as that is a symbol of kinship (亲情). Barbecue is where you go to become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, barbecue lets people cut loose and relax with old friends and newly made friends, leaving a lasting impression (friendship).

On the other side of the world, in the United States, BBQ, well received by all ages, demonstrates the even more enthusiastic personality of Americans, who grill large steaks on their outdoor stoves at home and enjoy competing to see who has the better cooking skills. It’s safe to say that the world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth generated by fire.

【1】What is probably A Bite of China?

A．A popular documentary.

B．A commercial programme.

C．A cuisine radio programme.

D．A soap opera of chefs.

【2】What may the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Force.

B．Inform.

C．Remind.

D．Attract.

【3】What makes barbecue different from other food in Chinese’s view?

A．Close family bonds.

B．Quality food.

C．Unique atmosphere.

D．Beautiful cooking style.

【4】Why does author mention BBQ in the United States?

A．To indicate the popularity of BBQ.

B．To present special American culture.

C．To show friendship between countries.

D．To make a comparison with Chinese BBQ.

23、The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.

The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.

Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention – dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.

In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! What’s even

more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.

The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!

【1】What aroused Ash Newland’s desire to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?

A．Travelers’ requirements.

B．His own experience.

C．His dream of invention.

D．A traditional washboard.

【2】Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?

A．The bag was not convenient enough.

B．The bag was not popular with travelers.

C．The bag couldn’t wash more clothes at a time.

D．The bag couldn’t be folded up.

【3】Which word can best replace the underlined word in paragraph4?

A．Blown.

B．Pushed

C．Figured.

D．Run.

【4】It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ______.

A．will lighten the burden on housewives

B．will replace the traditional washing machines

C．will be widely used by more travelers in the future

D．can encourage more people to travel a long distance

24、When I was a practicing physical therapist (理疗师), my patients rehab (康复) needs varied. While they understood the benefits of physical therapy, the act of coming into the clinic was a huge inconvenience. Physical therapy often requires in-person appointments multiple times per week. In the traditional outpatient model, that means patients must take time out of their busy lives to travel to a clinic.

Over the past year, the health care system at large has adopted telehealth and other virtual care solutions so that patients could communicate with their primary care providers. However, for physical therapy, telehealth doesn’t do the job. But there is still a preferable alternative to the traditional in-clinic physical therapy model: at-home rehabilitation.

Patient convenience

Anyone who has ever been prescribed an extended regimen of physical therapy in a clinic has experienced inconveniences and barriers to care. Compare that to receiving therapy in the home and the differences are stark.

There are no waiting rooms, no time wasted on travel and no need to arrange child care. Patients get all the benefits of an in-person visit without the hassle of going to a clinic.

Therapist benefits

While decentralizing care settings may seem like a burden for therapists, who must travel to each appointment, there are models that have shown it works provided incentives are aligned correctly. For instance, one company that provides at-home physical therapy allows therapists to sign up for appointments whenever they’d like, meaning they’re able to pick up extra appointments in addition to a full-time clinical job. They’re able to earn extra income on their own schedules. For therapists looking to pay off debt from their studies, bringing care to people’s homes becomes a tremendous asset rather than a burden.

As we emerge from the pandemic and people feel more comfortable returning to traditional methods of receiving care, we should make sure they’re able to choose to continue receiving rehab at home. My bet is that many will.

【1】The big trouble encountered by patients receiving physical therapy traditionally is that _____________.

A．most of their demands cannot be satisfied

B．they can’t see the doctor in person

C．it’s difficult for them to make an in-person appointment

D．they have to spend a deal of time going to the clinic

【2】According to Paragraph 2, what has happened in the health care system?

A．Telehealth has made physical therapy more convenient.

B．Digital technology has changed the current health care system.

C．The doctor-patient communication has been strengthened generally.

D．At-home rehabilitation is less preferable to the traditional treatment.

【3】The underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____________.

A．clear

B．real

C．basic

D．slight

【4】What do we know about the sentence “Patients get all the benefits of an in-person visit” in Paragraph 4?

A．The patients’ conveniences are mostly reduced.

B．Patients receive all kinds of benefits in the clinic.

C．Physical therapists provide door-to-door service.

D．A considerable amount of time and money are saved.

25、Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all subsidise tuition — in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and ________ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are ________.

Spending on universities is usually ________ by the “graduate premium” — the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes, ________ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage ________ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best ________ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so ________, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants. Non-graduates are thus increasingly ________ decent work.

In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education ________ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and ________ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are ________, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being ________ about the probable value of university.

Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own ________ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their ________. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less ________ degrees. “Micro-credentials” — short, work-focused courses approved by big employers in fast-growing fields, such as IT — show promise.

【1】

A．calculate

B．cover

C．demonstrate

D．ignore

【2】

A．truer

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The sound coming from Alper’s room was absolutely awful... His mum opened the door.

“Son, I’ve got a headache. Can you give it a rest?”

“But I’m practicing the guitar.”

“Practicing? Sometimes you hit the strings and sometimes you slap the guitar... And your mouth is open all the time. And you keep shouting. That’s not singing! We send you to a guitar course but it’s a waste of time and money! Didn’t they give you songs you’re supposed to practice with? You should learn how to play these first until you get them right.”

“Oh, I do play those songs sometimes. They’re really boring though. Anyway, it hurts my fingers when I play the strings according to the rules they teach us at the course. I play with my heart. Not according to rules...It’s a lot more fun that way.”

“Well, I hope your dad doesn’t hear that after spending all this money. It’s disturbing the neighbours. Last night, Mr. Arif from upstairs was driven mad. He said that your singing sounded as if you had fallen into a pot of boiling water!”

His mum’s words really depressed him. At first he thought that he only needed to touch the guitar and beautiful music would just come out on its own. But instead it was only practice, practice, practice. He couldn’t stand this.... He wanted to learn how to play his own music! He spent days and days writing lyrics... The light in the air... cats... birds... sweet breezes... Alper wrote about everything! But...Alper had no music for his words. He couldn’t write music. He didn’t know any notes at all. He picked up his guitar and went outside to the park opposite their house, which was nearly empty at this time of day.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Then, a group of young people with different instruments streamed into the park.

Joining in the growing crowd, Alper was finally happy, and with his guitar left on the grass he started to sing out loud.
