Passage One

Barbala couldn’t put up with it any more. Her upstairs neighbor was playing an electric guitar very loudly again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down.

The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn’t know that she could hear it. “Yes,” she said, “it’s just like you’re playing the guitar in my living room. I can hear every note.” He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn’t.

The very next morning, he was playing the guitar very loudly. She rushed upstairs to remind him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could hardly hear it. She asked him to turn it lower. He said he would try.

Barbala had no doubt that when she came back to her apartment, the music would be louder than when she had walked upstairs. She was right. So this time, she took a stick upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When he opened the door, she screamed at him like a crazy person and waved her stick. She told him she would kill him if he didn’t turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.

She went back downstairs. She couldn’t hear a note. “I can’t believe I said that!” She smiled to herself.

Questions 11-13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11. What was the man’s reaction when Barbala went upstairs for the first time?

12. How many times did Barbala go upstairs to protest?

13. Which of the following is true of Barbala?

Passage Two

The driver of a primary school bus stopped at a gas station in Ohio because he had to use the toilet. Instead of turning off the engine and taking the key with him, the driver left the bus running. “It was cold outside and I didn’t want the kids to get cold while I was using the toilet.” He told the police officer.

There were twenty kids on the bus. The bus slowly started moving away from the gas station. As the bus moved faster, the kids began screaming. Ten-year-old Donald ran forward to the driver’s seat and took the steering wheel. He pressed hard on the brake and managed to stop the bus as it approached river. Then he turned off the engine. After the cops arrived at the scene, they praised Donald for his heroic effort. “That is a cool kid,” said the police officer, “I told him he would make a great police officer when he grows up.”

Donald wasn’t impressed with what he had done. “Stopping the bus,” he said, “was easy compared to playing Grand Theft Auto III (which was his favorite action video game).”

The bus driver was arrested by the police when he hurrying along the highway to the bus. He was charged with “leaving a child alone on the bus while motor vehicle is running”. The county district lawyer said he wanted to charge the driver of a serious crime as such a large number of children were involved.

Questions 14-16 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14.Why did the driver keep the engine running?

15. Where did the bus finally stop?

16. What did Donald think of stopping this accident?

Passage Three

For many years, the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Singapore and South Korea. What makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?

First of all, the people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to administrators, are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries. In contrast to other nations, teaching in Finland is a highly admired profession. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.

All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or a rural town, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same opportunities in education. Education experts claim that there is a very little difference between the very best and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils who finish compulsory education move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.

Until the 1960s, Finland school system has been influenced largely by its neighbor, the former Soviet Union. Most students left school after 6 years. Some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Law-makers made a simple decision: a single school for all the 7-to-16 year-olds.

Questions 17-20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

17.Who are the subjects of the PISA survey?

18. What do Finnish people think about teachers?

19. Which of the following is true about the education in Finland?

20. What is the main idea of the passage?

Section C

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 21 to 27 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 28 to 30 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Japanese airline ANA is trying a new innovation that could make your next flight more hygienic—bathroom doors that you can open without having to use your hands. The airline will roll out 21 aircraft 21) equipped with the doors across domestic fights in Japan beginning next week.

The doors work by having a 22) mechanical spring that allows people to press the door open with their elbows or forearms. It was created in fall 2020 as a 23) response to the coronavirus pandemic. Until now, though, the only place to try one out was at ANA'S 24) lounge at Tokyo-Haneda Airport. And it isn't only the entrance that is 25) accessible without using hands. Once you're inside the lavatory, you can lock and unlock the door with a 26) sliding button (thus activating the lights at the same time), and there's also a handle so you can use your elbow to 27) pop open the door from the inside.

“We have continued to invest in the development and implementation of innovative technologies because 28) the health and safety of passengers and our staff is the top priority,” ANA said in a statement. “The hands-free lavatory door is the latest example of us putting this principle into practice.” ANA hopes to introduce the new hands-free doors on more of its planes, including those that fly international routes.

29) Though the odds of catching the virus on a plane are relatively low, bathrooms are unsurprisingly the germiest (细菌最多的) places on it even during the best of times. Around the world, airlines have tried a range of different approaches to in air hygiene. 30) Many airlines require both passengers and crew members to wear masks on board. Some even suggest that flight attendants wear diapers while working in order to cut back on trips to the lavatory. Maybe hands-free airplane doors will work as a substitute.

Passage One

【原文大意】

《儿童与家庭研究杂志》上的一项新研究发现，过度参与成年孩子的生活弊大于利。进行这项研究的科学家去年还发现，密集的育儿方式会让妈妈们更抑郁。

你可能认为给孩子的大学教授打电话，告诉他们B+和a -之间的区别是在帮他们解决问题，但这种干扰可能会损害年轻人解决问题和自立的能力。不断地给成年子女发短信，在Facebook上加他们为好友——让他们离开，但仍然要求他们每天签到——并不能真正培养自信的一代成年人。该研究的主要作者霍莉•希夫林(Holly Schiffrin)表示:“父母无意中向孩子传递了一个信息，即他们没有能力。”“如果成年的孩子没有机会练习解决问题的技能，他们将来就无法解决这些问题。”

为了得出这一结论，Schiffrin和同事们调查了297名大学适龄孩子的父母。学生们还报告了他们对生活的满意度，以及他们的抑郁和焦虑的感觉。

他们的回答显示，直升机式育儿降低了成年子女的自主性(自主权)、能力和联系感。反过来，感觉无能导致抑郁和不满的报告增加。希夫林说:“这些父母的意图是好的。”“他们参与进来是为了帮助孩子取得成功。但我们从之前的研究中知道，频繁参与孩子的生活给父母带来了压力，对孩子没有好处。这实际上是在伤害他们。”

尽管这种亲力亲为的育儿方式很累人，尽管这可能会对母亲的心理健康造成影响，但她们往往认为这种牺牲是值得的，因为她们相信这是在帮助孩子。希夫林了解这种感觉。”就我个人而言，每当我没有为孩子们做点什么时，我都会感到很内疚。”她承认。

但她的工作应该能帮助妈妈们改变这种看法。也许是选择看《唐顿庄园》的重播，而不是和小孩玩糖果乐园，或者为高中生编辑大学论文，是在培养孩子的独立性和自信。

Passage Two

【原文大意】

上巳节，又称三三节，是中国古代的一个节日，在农历三月初三庆祝，今年是4月14日。

它是中国少部分民族的节日，其中包括汉族和壮族，用以驱邪和避灾。

上巳节也被认为是黄帝的生日。有句俗语是这样说的:“三月初三，黄帝诞生了。”

由于上巳节与清明节非常接近，现在的许多年轻人只知道清明节。

关于这个节日的真正起源有很多说法。有人说它起源于周朝时在曲水河畔举行的一场宴会。也有人说，它来自于在河里洗澡以驱除邪恶的习俗。在这一天，人们会在河边举行祭祀仪式来纪念他们的祖先，然后用草药在河里洗澡，以清洁和净化自己的身体。之后，年轻的男女会去春游——这些场景在古代文本《史经》中有描述。

上巳节的活动也随着时代的变化而变化。汉代增加了沿江祭祖的习俗。在魏晋之后，这一节日发展为双三节，固定在农历三月初三。

东晋书法家王羲之在他的《兰亭序》中写道，文士们如何洗澡，如何用在蜿蜒的江边漂来漂去的杯子边喝酒边写诗。

在唐代，据说皇帝会在河边招待他的追随者，和普通百姓一起喝酒，观光。长安地区的人们也会观看斗蟋蟀。

明清以后，这种仪式活动逐渐被取消，节日发展成为一种春游活动，有漂杯、漂蛋、漂枣、扔石头、戴柳花环、徒步旅行、吃糯米和听唱诗班音乐等生动有趣的活动。

玛吉·杰伊和达米安·威廉姆斯在一起事故中失去了他们心爱的房车后，迅速从房车生活转向了船上生活。

在驾驶一辆房车穿越美国35个州4年后，2019年的一场发动机火灾结束了这一冒险。“我们自己修复了它，这让我很伤心，”威廉姆斯说。我不想用一辆新的房车重新开始。我只是想做些不一样的事情。”

他一直对航海很感兴趣。当他向杰伊提出在帆船上生活的想法时，她说她想象这就像“在水上野营”。我只是从我的姑姑和妈妈那里听说了一些故事，比如在桶里尿尿，用本生灯做饭，”她说，“我想知道如果超过一周，长期生活的话会是怎么样的。”她很快就发现了。

这家人沿着墨西哥湾从德克萨斯州开车到佛罗里达州，在检查了大约20艘船后，找到了他们的新家。他们在佛罗里达买了帆船。杰伊和威廉姆斯通过观看大量的视频和航海频道、钻研书籍和从他们遇到的一位船长那里学习航海。今年4月中旬，他们在学习绕佛罗里达州航行的过程中，航行了数百海里(航海的)，从迈阿密穿过巴哈马群岛的比米尼岛，计划在2022年1月抵达波多黎各，参加他们的婚礼。

“即使和在陆地上的房车生活相比，我也从未感受到如此多的隐私和自由，”威廉姆斯说。在陆地上，你总是担心有人会来打扰你，担心你的车停得好不好。”“我们可以在世界各地免费停留，感觉真的很自由，”他说。

威廉姆斯说:“除了社交媒体上的朋友，我们在房车生活中根本没有体验到太多的社区。”他认为从房车生活过渡到航海生活也会是一样的，但他惊讶地发现这是一种升级。他说:“水手们对我们非常慷慨、乐于助人和友好，尽管我们在搬上这艘帆船的时候从来没有航行过一天。”

当罗伯托·费利兹从多米尼加共和国来到美国时，他只知道几个英语单词。教育很快就变成了一场噩梦。”我什么都听不懂，”他说。他躲着老师，哭着回到家，想着要退学。

马拉夫夫人是一位双语教育者，她开始给他上课，同时用他的母语西班牙语教他数学和科学。“她一边教我英语的同时使我也没有掉队，”他说。有了展示自己能力的机会，他恢复了信心，并开始在学校取得成功。

今天，他是一位杰出的医生，经营着自己的诊所，并与几家医院合作。每天，他都用通过双语教育获得的语言和学术技能来治疗他的病人。

罗伯托的故事只是无数成功故事中的一个。研究表明，双语教育是教孩子英语和确保他们学业成功的最有效方法。在亚利桑那州和德克萨斯州，双语学生在单语项目中表现一直优于同龄人。加州的卡莱克西科实行双语教育，现在的辍学率不到该州平均水平的一半，大学录取率超过90%。在埃尔帕索，双语教育项目帮助学生的成绩从德克萨斯州的最低水平提高到全国最高水平。

【解题策略】

首先将选项中的单词按照词性分类，然后根据空格在句中担任的成分来确定所需单词的词性，再结合上下文在几个同样词性的单词中作出选择。备选词汇中，动词有B，I，M，N，O；形容词有F，G，H，J，L；名词有A，D，K；副词有C，E。

【答案详解】

46. 答案：K。此处需要一个名词。而且根据空格前后句意看，因为英语语言能力有限，“I couldn't understand anything ”，...“came home in tears, and thought about dropping out”。可以看出学习对他来说成了犹如噩梦般的事情。

47. 答案：I。此处需要一个动词。这句话的谓语是三个并列的动词短语。所以空格处的单词和后面的“came home... ”, “and thought about... ”在词性和时态上都是一致的。又根据语意，是“躲老师”，所以，答案为hid（hide的过去式）。“hide from...”也是固定搭配，意为“躲避...”。

48. 答案：J。因为听不懂英语，双语老师就一边教他英语的同时，一边用Roberto Feliz的母语，即西班牙语教他数学和科学。所以，选J。“native”意为“母语的”。

49. 答案：N。此处需要一个谓语动词。根据语意，Roberto Feliz 通过给与的机会展现了自己的能力，从而重拾了自信，开始取得成功。“regain”，指“重新获得”。

50. 答案：L。从这一段描述看，Roberto Feliz现在是一名优秀的医生。所以选L。

51. 答案：B。此处是定语从句中缺少一个谓语动词。根据语意，“Roberto Feliz通过双语教育所掌握的语言和专业技能来治病救人”。“acquire”意为“学习，或得”。

52. 答案：F。此处需要一个形容词。句意为“...只是无数成功故事中的一个”。

53. 答案：H。此处需要一个形容词。此处句意为“双语教育是教孩子英语和确保他们学业成功的最有效方法”。

54. 答案：E。此句主干已全。缺少一个副词来修饰谓语动词。根据语意，“双语学生在单语项目中表现一直优于同龄人。”“consistently”意为“一贯，始终”。

55. 答案：A。“college acceptance rates”意为“升学率”。

只要我们还在地球上，我们就一直在利用我们周围的海洋。我们向海洋索取，并给予它。

我们每年从海洋中捕捞数百万公斤的鱼，来养活数百万人。我们甚至用它们的骨头做肥料。我们从海洋中提取矿物质。获取盐的一种方法是把海水放在一个浅盆里，直到它蒸发。除了盐，蒸发后留下的还有其他矿物质。许多金银也溶解在海水中。但是海水并不是通过简单的蒸发就把它们送走的。来自大海的其他礼物有珍珠、海绵和海草。珍珠成为珠宝。天然海绵成为清洁辅助工具。海藻可以成为许多种类的食物——甚至糖果和冰淇淋——以及药物。信不信由你，淡水是来自大海的另一份礼物。我们不能喝海水。其中一些成份可能会致病。但是当盐被除去后，海水就变成了淡水。在未来，我们将发现自己越来越依赖来自大海的淡水。

大海给了我们食物、肥料、矿物、水和其他礼物。我们给了大海什么呢?垃圾。当我们把海洋用作垃圾场时，我们污染了海洋。虽然海洋很大，但它容纳不了我们倒进去的所有水。向海洋倾倒垃圾正在杀死海洋生物。然而，随着世界人口的增长，我们可能比以往任何时候都更需要海洋及其馈赠。

我们终于认识到，如果我们破坏了海洋，我们也可能毁灭我们自己。希望现在还不算太晚。

许多疾病和医疗状况是由我们无法控制的事情引起的。然而专家表示，你可以控制甚至预防许多增加死亡几率的风险因素。

专家指出，不健康的生活方式会使你面临患心脏病和中风的巨大风险。饮食不良、体脂过多和缺乏体育锻炼都会增加患心脏病的风险，使用烟草制品和饮酒过多也会增加患心脏病的风险。因此，医生敦促我们吃健康的食物，进行锻炼，戒烟和限制我们的酒精摄入量。

但你还能做点别的。它是免费和轻松的。微笑! Anand Chockalingam是密苏里州哥伦比亚市密苏里大学医疗保健学院的心脏病专家。他建议他的病人微笑。“当我们微笑时，大脑的神经网络会发生改变。释放出的化学物质更具有积极作用。”他说，微笑是对抗身体和情绪压力的第一步，它有时会对人体健康产生有害影响。这不仅仅是新时代的建议。几项研究都支持Chockaligam博士关于多微笑的建议。

美国心脏协会的研究人员表示，压力和心脏病之间的联系仍不清楚。然而，他们声称，当人们长时间处于压力之下时，他们可能不会对吃什么做出最好的决定。他们可能暴饮暴食、吸烟或酗酒。他们可能得不到足够的锻炼或睡眠。所有这些都会导致健康问题。Chockalingam博士表示，微笑可能是一种帮助方法。他告诉他的病人每小时微笑20次。对一些人来说，觉得笑得似乎有点多。或者有些人甚至会觉得自己很愚蠢……无缘无故地微笑。但微笑与毒品无关。它不像外科手术那样具有侵入性。它是免费的，没有副作用。”一旦人们微笑了，他们就放松了。这种放松直接降低了血压，提高了血液中的血糖水平。如果我们在微笑，我们就打破了压力和健康之间的联系。”它可能会为每个人的心脏健康提供一点额外的保护。

Liberal Arts Students

Recently, a work report from the People’s Bank of China pointed out that one of the reasons why Southeast Asian countries fell into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students, which has sparked a controversy in the society: Too many liberal arts students may influence the prospects of the country.

There are quite different views on the statement. Some people think that liberal arts students are useless and we cannot expect them to develop science and technology to realize the Chinese Dream of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. However, some others argued that " in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, people also have a spiritual life, which is closely related to literature, history and philosophy." The liberal arts are the soul of a nation. People need spiritual support. If there is no spiritual support, it is no different from robots.

From my perspective, the national prosperity, especially the infrastructure, needs science and engineering, but it needs literature and philosophy to enrich our spiritual life as well. Therefore, the role of liberal arts students is to promote personal culture and moral cultivation.
