Section A

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Your Kids Don’t Want You to Be Perfect. They Just Want You to Be Honest
Dear Parents,
I am thinking of you. I am imagining how hard each of you is trying to get through your days, how much you
want to lead your 21 (love) ones through this, how you worry, how you plan, and how you smile for
them, when inside you feel at times you are breaking.
I was not a very stable youth. In fact, I never 22 (think) I could be anyone’s mom. I remember the
decision 23 (become) a parent. It wasn’t hard to love. It wasn’t hard to dedicate myself to someone and
something 24 (great) than my life. 25 was hard was knowing that from now on! Needed to be
the one to make sure everything was okay, to manage it and make it work, from food to school to medical, and tobe patient.
I realized stopped my constant daydreaming, instead, 26 (stay) always ready for any break into what
I was doing or thinking to answer a need. It was a new skill to acquire.
So now, in the midst of this pandemic. I think of all the mothers and fathers with children at home, hoping
that 27 all can do everything right, answer all needs, and stay calm and positive.
One thing 28 has helped me is to know that’s impossible.
It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don’t want you perfect. They just want you honest and doing
your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great 29 you are weak, the stronger they may become.
They love you. They want to help you. And in 30 way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．present B．features C． concerned D．reportedly E. commercial F. stretches
G. overwhelming H. exceptionally I. routinely J. spared K. broadcasts
Modern media is awash in advertising clutter(杂乱), and who’s to blame? Modern audiences that hate
conventional full-length and full-size ads.
Today’s consumers don’t like to pay for content, which ought to create a rich environment for advertisers. Yet
these same consumers are prone to click or turn away when a conventional ad appears. The result is ad clutter.
YouTube 31 a combination of full-length ads, skippable ads, lower-screen banners and display ads on
the page alongside each video. Newspapers that once considered the front page important now 32 run ads
there.
Advertisers integrate plugs(推销) into content to frustrate digital video recorders, which allow viewers to
watch programs on a delay and skip regular commercials. If you watch regional telecasts of baseball games, the
commercial clutter is so 33 . Ads are visible on the stadium wall behind the home-plate umpire(裁判). On-
screen graphics include sponsor logos. And everything is a paid plug--“This call to the coach’s zone is brought to
you by Verizon.”
According to the showbiz paper Variety, several streaming services are about to introduce a new twist:
commercials that start running whenever a viewer pauses a program. Hulu intends to launch such ads this year.
AT&T’s DirecTV and U-verse units will 34 use similar technology to trigger full-motion commercialswhenever a viewer tries to take a break.
There’s a lot at stake. According to Variety, National Football League(NFL) TV broadcasts generate an
estimated $4.35 billion in ad revenue during the 17-week regular season. NFL 35 are now loaded with mini
commercials that pop up when there is a brief pause in the action, often in “double boxes” that show a view of the
field in one frame and a(n) 36 in the other.
Interestingly, with no “screen” to work with, radio is one medium that has tried for some time to buck the
trend. Many commercial stations trade clutter for clusters--that is, a solid block of commercials running five
minutes or more, followed by lengthy commercial-free 37 of time.
But wherever a screen is involved, or a printed page, ad clutter is 38 everywhere. Programmers and
advertisers can’t really be expected to limit this; it’s a fact of business. Consumers, on the other hand, can opt for
commercial-free content--if they’re willing to pay for it.
But getting limitless content without paying while also being 39 heavy advertising intrusions is
impossible. As media environment is permanently cluttered, audiences should be 40 with what they wish
for.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of buildings. Today,
thousands of people come to 41 building conferences, and the idea that buildings can be good for people
and the environment will be increasingly 42 in years to come. Back in 1984 we discovered that most
manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for 43 use. The “energy-efficient” sealed
commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis 44 indoor air quality problems caused by
materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been looking for ways to make these
materials 45 for people and the planet.
Home builders can now use materials, such as green paints, that release significantly 46 amounts of
chemical compounds, which people believe don’t 47 the quality of the air. 48 , our basic
design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating 49 healthful materials that can
be either safely returned to the soil or 50 by industry again and again. For example, the world’s largestcarpet manufacturer has already 51 a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.
Look at it this way: no one 52 to create a building that destroy the planet. But our current industrial
systems are basically causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So 53 of simply trying to
reduce the damage, we are 54 a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products
and an opportunity to make choices that have a 55 effect on the world. It is not just the building
industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Be a Better Traveler in the Over-tourism Era
Travel has become as accessible as McDonald’s, reaching a new high as global tourist arrivals reached 1.4
billion last year. In 1995, global arrivals numbered only 525 million.
As a father of two kids, I am the first to celebrate the drop in costs brought on by air-travel marketliberalization, the rise of discount airlines, a revolution in accommodations thanks to the likes of Books.com and
Airbnb, and mobile devices installed with the best maps and travel guides the world has ever known. I’m also
happy for the retailers, hoteliers, museum keepers and others who have benefited financially from the tourism
boom.
I can’t help but wonder, though, what we are actually seeing as we travel these days. More people are
travelling, but many are visiting the same places. Is a forest of selfie sticks what I wanted to show my daughter at
the Louvre? When was the last time I set food on Prague’s main square without being elbowed a dozen times? Is a
trip to Barcelona complete if you have to avoid every famous location for fear of being trampled (踩踏)?
Cities can not do much about this — they can’t very well close airports, force airlines to fly less frequently or
increase their prices. Raising the cost of air travel, overall or to specific destination, will never be popular. Many
will object it on the grounds that travel shouldn’t be just for the rich, and it’ll hurt the residents of cities troubled
with over-tourism.
So what should travelers do? Stay home? That’s unlikely. But if you are heading for some of the world’s most
popular destinations, rethink your bucket list (愿望清单). You should be open to venturing beyond the obvious.
Even if you are set on visiting an iconic site, consider going at an off-peak time.
The biggest thing to keep in mind, no matter where you travel, is to be well-researched, respectful and
genuinely curious about the destination. Don’t fall victim to what people call “selfie culture” and “bucket list
culture”. Treat the destination as you would do to your own home - not as a “hidden gem” that you throw money at
to get certain experience you feel entitled to.
56．Which of the following is NOT the cause of the drop in travelling costs according to the author?
A．The rise of discount airlines.
B．The freedom to choose transport
C．The popularization of mobile devices.
D．The appearances of Booking.com and Airbnb.
57．According to the passage, why might some people oppose raising the cost of air travel?
A．It would result in a decrease in airport security.
B．It would lead to fewer people travelling overall.
C．It would hurt the residents of tourism-dependent cities.
D．It would encourage a “bucket list culture.”
58．What does the author mean by saying “Cities can not do much about this”?
A．Facing the trouble of over-tourism, cities lack feasible measure.B．Those cities as famous tourist destinations are not only for the rich.
C．Cities with over-tourism can’t deal with protests among travelers.
D．Cities with over-tourism can stop people making trips there.
59．What should people do to be a better traveler in the over-tourism era?
A．Set on a journey at an on-peak time. B．Avoid visiting an iconic site
C．Raise the cost of air travel. D．Be willing to explore new sites.

(C)
Technology has blurred the boundaries between work and play, professional and personal, and career and
downtime. Whether it’s a digital nomad (数字游牧民) blogging on a Bali beach or a manager checking emails on a
Niseko ski lift, people are seamlessly combining work and leisure. The traditional boundary between business and
personal travel is fading, giving rise to a new trend known as “bleisure travel.”
Bleisure travel extends beyond the usual practice of bringing a partner to a conference. Professionals
worldwide are increasingly adding weekends or even weeks to their work trips, whether they are traveling alone,
with a partner, or as a family. According to Jeanne Liu of the Global Business Travel Association, more than one in
three business travelers will incorporate a leisure component into at least one of their trips this year. Contrary to
expectations, this trend is not limited to entry-level employees; managers and millennials are equally likely to
partake in bleisure travel.
Employers are recognizing the benefits of bleisure travel, as it contributes to travel well-being, job
satisfaction, and productivity. Taking the opportunity to bring family members along or adding fun elements to a
business trip reduces stress and enhances the overall experience. Australians, who face longer working hours and
higher travel costs, are particularly receptive to bleisure travel. Guests at business-oriented hotels like Quest St
Leonards in Sydney are increasingly opting to have their partners join them for a weekend stay or longer, rather
than making quick trips back home.
Richard Tonkin, a general manager who frequently travels for work, always extends his trips to explore new
destinations. He carefully researches cities and books bike tours as a way to quickly see the sights and discover
places of interest. Tonkin’s wife, Enza, who works part-time, often accompanies him on these trips and explores the
local area or indulges in her own activities, such as shopping or visiting galleries and restaurants.
The modern bleisure traveler is typically culturally curious and interested in local cuisine. Hotels like Quest St
Leonards ensure their front office staff are knowledgeable about not only popular attractions but also hidden gems
and events happening in the area. They provide guests with tailored guides that cater to their specific interests,
whether it’s offbeat cafes and boutiques or trendy bars and restaurants.The main obstacle for most business travelers considering bleisure is time. Paradoxically (自相矛盾的是),
while technology enables them to work and play at the same time, it also limits their leisure time. However, as the
trend continues to gain in popularity, more professionals are finding ways to strike a balance and make the most of
their business trips by incorporating leisure activities.
63．Which of the following is a proper description of modern bleisure travelers?
A．They prefer to travel alone rather than with a business partner or a family member.
B．They tend to be curious about local culture and cuisine, and eager to explore the area.
C．They are more interested in attending conferences and business meetings than travelling.
D．They are more likely to be entry-level employees than company managers or millennials.
64．What can be inferred about “bleisure travel” from the passage?
A．It is primarily embraced by employees with shorter working hours and lower travel costs.
B．Limited leisure time gives professionals a chance to strike a balance between work and life.
C．Its increasing popularity suggests that professionals prioritize personal experiences over work.
D．Family members coming along the bleisure travel will have to follow their partner s schedule.
65．How do some hotels react to the rise of “bleisure travel” according to the passage?
A．They are struggling to accommodate travelers due to limited availability and high demand.
B．They are indifferent to the trend and do not offer any specific services for bleisure travelers.
C．They are discouraging bleisure travel by offering only business- oriented facilities and services.
D．They are training staff to know about local travelling information and offering tailored guides.
66．The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．the rise of digital refugees in the workforce
B．the benefits of business travel for professionals
C．the trend of combining work and leisure travel
D．the challenges of balancing work and recreation
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used
once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A．Some therapists utilize techniques that act against the physical symptoms of fear.
B．Survival may hot hang in the balance, but social, professional or financial success can seem to be in grave
danger.
C．All these symptoms eat away at the very resources needed to rise to the occasion: steady hands, clearmemory and a cool head.
D．The individual begins by imagining failure, works himself or herself into a state and then criticizes his or
her own abilities.
E．At Harvard, Powell found that facing anxiety can be a hard task, but many times the fear arises from
completely controllable preconditions.
F．Because performance anxiety arises when other people are present, many psychologists believe that the
condition is a sub-category of social anxiety.
Fear is good; in emergencies, it enables us to fight or flee. But often we get scared at the wrong time - when
we step onto the field for a big soccer game or up to the microphone at a large town meeting. Professional athletes
and actors say some nervousness help them concentrate better. But, when performance anxiety is too powerful, it
undermines our efforts; a violinist cannot find the correct notes, a manager in a meeting forgets all the talking
points. 67 .
The human anxiety reaction begins almost automatically and includes clear physiological symptoms; a racing
heart, sweating, stomach pains. Some people have trouble breathing or feel faint. Thus alarmed, victims may
withdraw into themselves or shock others around them with aggressive outbursts. If the need to perform is a regular
requirement, they may suffer from nightmares or fall into depression. 68 Studies reveal that anxiety-
plagued executives and less able to apply logical intelligence on standard tests than calmer colleagues
69 Yet psychologist Douglas H. Powell of Harvard Medical School is convinced that severe stage
fright is a phenomenon unto itself, given that it appears in only certain well-defined situations. Sociophobes (社恐
的人) , in contrast, suffer merely when others are present. Whereas people with social phobias fear the negative
feelings of others, those swith performance anxiety are their own harshest critics. They are perfectionists and would
rather cancel an appearance — or avoid it —than not meet their own standards and, by extension, not be able to
demonstrate how good they are.
This destructive style of thinking often arises from a lack of self-esteem. 70 Previous bad experiences
can be a trigger —an embarrassing experience in a school play or a single failed test can sometimes arouse such
strong feelings of shame in youngsters that as adults they will avoid any remotely similar undertaking.
IV.Summary Writing (共10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Will people reduce car use in 20 years？
Nowadays, the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one’s wealth and socialposition. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars, we couldn’t help
marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people’s daily lives. Nevertheless, the
increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some
people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.
Above all, the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment, if such a tendency is not brought under
control in time, the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future. People have to face
the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day, thousands of private cars are
emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse
effect, which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition, more energy is
being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-
friendly society, people ought to reduce the use of cars.
In fact, diversified measures are being taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency
continues, the effect will be shown in the near future. For example, to reach the goal of building a safe and
harmonious society, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working
days. A number of private cars are prohibited on no-driving-days.
Last, the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners’ way of travelling.
Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses, subways, trains and airplanes. In the
meanwhile, advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.
