Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a free debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring
a Chinese model with freckles（雀斑）. Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and
the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers.
Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally
speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women
avoid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call
freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with;
instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many
Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double fold eyelid, that is considered
perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and
eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while
quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.
Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim
Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win
them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly
features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a
more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop.
But one thing’s for sure — no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.
24. What do most western people think of having freckles?
A. It is something unbearable.
B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is something to wish for.
D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
25. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Have the same opinion.
B. Recognize their strengths.
C. Misunderstand each other.
D. Argue against one another.
26. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature?
A. They think this beauty standard is better.
B. They want to look independent and unique.
C. They hope to have high popularity in Asia.
D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. What Zara’s beauty standard is.
B. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.
C. What causes the different beauty standards.
D. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.
C
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we
dreamt of indoor dining, vacations, and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living inBrazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have
been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms（规范）.
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few
awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my
distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick
hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is
one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have
been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe
and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up
hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This
is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing
in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our
differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our
hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many
things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for
our communities and the people we love.
28. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?
A. Adjustment. B. Disturbance.
C. Commitment. D. Preference.
29. What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2?
A. She is good at educating other people.
B. She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
C. She enjoys the close contact with others.
D. It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
30. Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms?
A. Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B. Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C. Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D. Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
31. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My Attitude towards Friendship
B. Social and Cultural norms in the Pandemic
C. The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D. My Acceptance of Cultural Differences
D
There are many sources of debate on a long Toad trip, including route selection, the choice of snacks, and,
probably most importantly, what to Play on the radio. Finding a way for all parties to listen to their own audio
without the need for headphones has been a goal of car makers for decades, and scientists may have finally
managed it.
A team from the University of Le Mans in France carefully positioned microphones, speakers and filters（过滤
器）to create personalised sound zones (PSZs) inside a car, and the small regions are where sound from a set of
speakers can be heard clearly. Outside these, it can not be heard.
One barrier which scientists have previously been unable to overcome was the impact of moving one’s seat.
They were able to form a PSZ, but unable to move it to follow a person if they moved the seat forwards or
backwards.The French team created a new algorithm(算法) specifically to tackle this issue, which handles the sound
waves to create “bright” and “dark” zones in the car. “Loudspeakers are placed in the headrests, and specific
filters for each transducer(换能器) are calculated to reproduce a sound signal that maintains good quality in
the zone under consideration and is strongly weakened in other zones.” said Dr Lucas Vindrola, the author of the
study. “The key to the technique working properly is having sufficient microphones placed around the car to detect
how many people are in the car and where they are sitting. The price to pay is to have control microphones in the
passenger section, so that the algorithm can work.”
However, the technique is not yet ready to be commercially rolled out as a luxurious optional extra just yet, as
it currently works only for a limited range of frequencies.
32. What was once a challenge for scientists?
A. PSZs could hardly be formed.
B. The sound of moving a seat is loud,
C. They couldn’t create movable PSZs.
D. The seats couldn’t be moved back and forth.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the impact of moving one’s seat was addressed.
B. Why enough microphones are placed around the car.
C. When the algorithm can work well for all passengers.
D. Where “bright” and “dark” zones are created in the car.
34. What can we infer about the new technique?
A. It currently works without limitation.
B. It has been put into use commercially.
C. It can function well with enough microphones.
D. It is costly to detect the position of microphones.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To launch a new debate. B. To tackle an old problem.
C. To advertise an algorithm. D. To introduce a new technology.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s a long debated topic: Which is more effective, group studying or studying alone?
We’ve all experienced getting together with classmates to study for an upcoming exam and spending the entire
time talking or joking around. 36 So if you are the one who can be so distracting, it’s strongly
recommended that you should study alone. The following are some benefits of studying alone.
1. Minimum distractions
When you lock yourself away in your room, there tend to be less distractions than when you are studying in a
group. 37 There are literally no distractions, unless you’re the one who feels the need to clean
everything when you study.
2. Personal study environment
38 You may require classical music, a comfortable room, and a cup of tea while you study. Someone
else may require complete silence, and no snacks at all. Studying alone allows you to set the perfect study
environment so you get the most out of studying. 39 Some students learn best with flashcards, while others
learn best when they reread chapters. Find your learning style, and you can get better results.
3. Personalized learning content
40 Only when you study alone, you’re able to focus on exactly those topics. It’s easy to look over
the material you’re already familiar with. The hard part of studying is to learn what you don’t understand.
A. You can learn whatever you like.
B. Nobody is moving around or talking near you.
C. That is what you can achieve in group studying.D. Everyone is different, which means everyone learns differently.
E. There may be some topics in class that you really need to work on.
F. You leave the group without accomplishing anything to get you ready for your exam.
G. Studying alone also allows you to use the study strategies that are the most effective for your learning style.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my
doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit
in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted.
“Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-
looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”
We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggle. I should seize the
chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I
had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June
replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get
home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No, Mom,” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me
back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him. When we got
there, I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am?” “Here
you go, sir. ”June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained,
“I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money?” “Yes! I want you to have it,”
she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness
We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that
she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.
