Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)
When we think of our childhood, we often think of it as a time of long school holidays, a time of
exploration. As well as growing new talents, we also think of this stage of childhood as a time of growing
upwards. But the strange thing is our growth actually slows right down. In studying our consumption of
energy, scientists have provided one of the reasons why we take so long to grow up. It’s a trade-off
between growing our body versus /ˈvɜ:səs/ growing our brain. We simply can’t get enough calories to
fully grow both at the same time.

视频对话
W: Tom, have you ever read the novel Out of Africa?
M: Yes. It’s one of my favorite novels. I have read it three times.
W: I love it, too. I wish I could go to Africa one day and see the wild animals with my own eyes.
M: Actually, I traveled to Africa in 2019.
W: Wow ! You must have had some unusual experiences.
M: Sure. The most unforgettable one was at the Giraffe Hotel.
W: A Giraffe Hotel? Where is it?
M: It’s near the capital of Kenya. I had many wonderful memories with the giraffes there.
三问：
1． 提问：你真的在酒店里看到长颈鹿了吗？
考生翻译：Did you really see the giraffes in the hotel?
电脑回答：Yes. The hotel is designed for guests to have fun with the giraffes. When I arrived at the
hotel, I didn’t see any giraffes, which was quite disappointing. But early next morning, I saw some giraffes
making their way to the hotel. They put their necks into the hotel windows, looking for food. I fed them
some tree leaves. It was a lot of fun. I wished they could have stayed longer. (“浪哥英语”公众号首发，

考生翻译：How long did the giraffes stay in the hotel?
电脑回答：Less than an hour each time. The giraffes lived in the nearby forest. They came to the hotel
twice a day. One in early morning, the other at sunset.When they came, we rushed to the windows. The
giraffes stayed with us only when we have food. Once, when I ran out of food to feed them, they
immediately turned to other guests. So amusing! I’d like to go there again even if it is quite expensive.
3． 提问：这趟旅行你花了多少钱？
考生翻译：How much did you spend on the journey?
电脑回答：The total cost was around 10,000 dollars. Staying in the hotel was the most expensive part,
but it’s worth the money. I learned that part of the hotel charge went to a local firm for wildlife protection.
The hotel rooms were fully booked all year round. That’s why I made the booking one year in advance.
You should go to the hotel at least once in your lifetime. (“浪哥英语”公众号首发，其他公众号均为转

视频原文A Parcel for Mary
Tom worked in the local post office, responsible for checking lost parcels. One day, he received a
call from a little girl Mary who was looking for her parcel. As usual, Tom asked for the checking number.
But Mary said she didn’t have one. Tom was confused and asked if she knew who sent the parcel. Mary
said, “I don’t know.” Hearing this, Tom thought Mary must be playing a trick. When he was about to hang
up the phone, he heard Mary crying, “All my neighbors are receiving parcels. Where is mine?” To calm
down Mary, Tom had a chat with her. Tom learned that Mary’s family had just moved here and she felt
lonely. She was expecting holiday gifts from friends, just like her neighbors. Tom then came up with an
idea. He told Mary that he needed her name and address for a double check and asked her to wait. A
moment later, Tom told her that he had found her parcel. Later that day, Tom bought some chocolates and
a card. On the card, he wrote: “From your friend on the line.” He then put them in a parcel and sent it to
Mary. (“浪哥英语”公众号首发，其他公众号均为转载)

Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)
Music. It’s the universal language we all know, we all feel. It holds the remarkable power to bring us
together in moments both big and small. A single lyric /'lɪrɪk/ can sweep you up and pull you back to a
treasured moment lost in time. It sees no lines of race or nationality. It’s universal, generational,
multicultural. It gives us hope, joy, harmony, harmony within ourselves and with one another. The great
power of music binds us all together, especially when we need it most, when the world seems to need it
most. Music is harmonious /hɑrˈmoʊniəs/. And the world can be, too.2

An Unexpected Help
Mary admired her brother Tom who was good at painting. Whenever Tom painted, she tried to help a
bit, but Tom thought his little sister would just give him trouble. One day, when Tom was painting a
picture, Mary stood by and watched. She soon felt bored and went away. Hours past, Tom went out to buy
some paints, leaving the picture on the desk. A few minutes later, Mary returned with a bottle of orange
juice in her hand. She went up to the desk to see if Tom had finished the picture. Mary watched it closely.
It looked beautiful and seemed almost done. Mary thought that one more flower would make the picture
perfect. She placed the bottle on the desk and started to paint. Accidentally, she knocked over the bottle.
Before she knew what happened, the juice was all over the picture. Mary was frightened. She hurried to
clean it up. This caused a greater mess. The picture seemed totally ruined. At that moment, Tom came
back. Mary cried and pointed at the picture. Tom looked at it for a while and said happily, “How did you
do that? I love it!” (“浪哥英语”公众号首发，其他公众号均为转载)

became bored and went away. Tom left to buy more paints, leaving the painting on his desk. When Mary
returned with a bottle of orange juice, she saw the almost-finished painting and thought that one more
flower would make it perfect. She accidentally spilled the juice on the painting while trying to paint the

painting. However, to Mary’s surprise, Tom loved it and was very happy with what she had done to the
painting.
