If the West has the apple, the East has the king of fruits: the mighty mango. Called “aam” in Hindi,
Urdu and Punjabi, this tropical fruit traces its origins to South Asia. Urdu and Hindi literature are filled
with references to this fruit that once filled the kitchens and gardens of emperors.
Everyone is crazy about mangoes during the summer months in South Asia. City streets in India are
lined with vendors (小贩) selling all varieties of mangoes. Young and old bargain for better prices,
mangoes are sent as gifts, restaurants have special mango menu items and the fruit becomes a gesture of
goodwill between India and Pakistan, with the choicest varieties sent across the border to celebrate each
country’s independence days.
South Asians all over the world await mango season. South Asian stores receive shipments of the
fruit, though they are limited in quality and quantity. Each year, I savor (品尝) my mangoes, though
I’m saddened that popular varieties aren’t easily available in Vancouver.
Mango memories take me back to the city I was born in: Rourkela in the eastern part of India. In late
March, just as the days would start to become hot, I remember mango trees blooming with their fresh
fragrance in the breeze as we biked to school. Came April, the trees would start bearing fruit. I remember
the thrill of sneaking out to collect raw mangoes, climbing onto the roof of our quarters and eating them
with pink slat and powdered red chilies (红辣椒粉) alongside my best friend.
Mango stories from my childhood are endless. But this summer in Vancouver, tired from the
pandemic, I can’t help but remember my sweet mango memories. I realize that I need to wander the
streets of my home country, to feel the intense heat of the summer months and soak in the country of my
birth.
Instead, I am in a semi-lockdown state savoring mangoes, enjoying those I can find in Canada but
missing the Indian varieties. This year, the mighty mango has become a symbol of the sense of loss that
each one of us is feeling.
24. What do we know about the mangoes in South Asia?
A. They are very cheap in summer in India.
B. They are a symbol of independence in India.
C. In Pakistan, they are mainly grown on the borders.
D. The fruit is regarded as a kind gesture between India and Pakistan.

B. To explain why mangoes are the king of fruits in the East.

Six “sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 yeas, were newly discovered
in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares,
ivories, jades and textiles were unearthed from the site. Sanxingdui site is located in Sanxingdui Town,
Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, on the south bank of Qianjiang River (Yangtze River), a tributary of
Tuojiang River in the north of Chengdu Plain. The site covers an area of about 12 square kilometers,
and the core area is the ancient city of Sanxingdui, with an area of about 3.6 square kilometers. It is the
largest and highest-grade central site found in Sichuan Basin during the Xia and Shang period.
Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important
archaeological sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on
the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were
accidentally discovered.
Investigation in the area around No.1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No.3 pit was
found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and
Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty four research universities and
research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better
understand many unexplained findings in 1986.
More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed
research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to
prevent the site from further damage.
英语试卷 第6页 共12页According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become
a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of
Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety
has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher
levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National
Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering
and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people
also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid
every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this
subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math.
“If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad
英语试卷 第7页 共12页experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author
of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math
exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about
making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist
told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean
you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist,
was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He
could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four,
resulting in a higher number than the original.
32. What do we know about math anxiety?
A. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
B. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
33. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply?
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
C. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
D. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
34. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?
A. Ask cognitive experts for help.
B. Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge.
D. Practice more before you take math exams.
35. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
C. To show da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
D. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.

HOW TO FIGHT BURNOUT
You can avoid burnout by focusing on personal characteristics associated with more resilience (恢
复力). Research published in the journal Current Psychology finds something useful. 36
Focus on solving problems. Rather than avoiding problems, find ways to address them. If you’re
having a conflict with a coworker, sit down with them and talk through the issues. If you’re over your
head with a project at work, let your boss know and ask for help. 37
Believe in your own abilities. Of course, you’re not perfect, but having confidence in your
capabilities will go a long way toward your success. Burnout is characterized by shame or questioning
your effectiveness. 3 8 Make a list of your skills and talents. Focus on what you want to learn
and where you want to go from here — identify the class you want to take or the person you want to get
to know and learn from.
Invest in social relationships. Being a high-achiever doesn’t mean you have to push away others.
39 Plus, having time away with people you care about can actually provide inspiration when you do
work.
40 You can prevent burnout from occurring again by knowing how to look out for it.
There are usually some indicators that you are about to experience burnout. When you spot these signs,
take a look at your life and make some positive additions.
A. Know the warning signs.
B. Make leisure time meaningful.
C. Remind yourself of all you’ve accomplished.
D. The following are key ways to address burnout.
E. Listen to others for experience, especially negative self-talk.
F. Social support can be a great way to help you fight against work stress.
G. Overall, seek to take action rather than sidestepping or avoiding issues.
