11、i. Either way, you can be sure that lots of drinking is involved during these Chinese social events.What you will be drinking.Baijiu- Also called sorghum wine, baijiu is the drink of choice for business dinners in China.The most popular brand of baijiu is Maotai , which can be as strong as 60% alcoh
12、ol-by-volume（compared to an average vodka at 40% ABV).Red wine-Red wine has increased in popularity at Chinese dinner tables in recent years along with the rising interest in luxury goods.Beer-Popular Chinese beer brands include Tsingtao and Harbin Beer, which are crisp, refreshing lagers(淡啤酒） that
13、can cool the burning sensations from drinking baijiu.Courage, quantity, and qualityIts perfectly all right if you get drunk, and if you leave sober, your hosts might think theyve failed to show the proper hospitality.The bottom line is, its best if you drink whatever they give you. This is called ji
14、udan-“drink courage. Of course, having jiudan doesnt automatically mean you have a good jiuliang-“drinking capacity or the ability to hold your drink. But this really doesnt matter, as long as you have good jiupin-“drink manners or the way you behave when drunk. Ideally youll have all three, but if
15、you dont, the first one is the most important.General etiquetteWhen clinking glasses, the junior people should always hold their glasses lower than those of senior folks. Also, if you are late for the party, you are expected to punish yourself by drinking.Lastly, it is considered extremely rude to r
16、efuse a drink after someone toasts you. Of course, “drying your glass is considered the utmost respect at the dinner table.1. What is beer more likely to serve as at Chinese dinner tables?A. Appetizer.B. Primary drink.C. Secondary drink.D. After-dinner drink.2. What policy should you follow when dri

Drink courage matters most when you drink with others.3. What is the proper behavior for a young adult over 18 at Chinese dinn
18、er tables?A. Refusing a drink if you dont want it.B. Drinking yourself under the table when late.C. Holding your glass lower when toasting seniors.D. Toasting seniors as many times as you can.BEven with wonderful friends, family and a partner, I dont always want to be surrounded by people. “Table fo
19、r one? Or will someone else be joining you?” A dinner reservation for one person never fails to raise a few eyebrows. I actively choose to spend time alone when possible. But not everyone has the luxury of choosing to be alone, of course, many are forced into one-on-one time because they have no one
20、.But for those of us who spend our days surrounded by colleagues in the workplace, our evenings and weekends with family, friends and partners, all the while being constantly bombarded by WhatsApp,social media and email, time to ourselves can be a rare treat. Time to yourself not only gives you the
21、chance to do practical things you dont normally get round to but also the activities your pals dont want to do. In a less real way, spending time alone also allows-or perhaps forces- you to sit with your own thoughts, to think about things that might normally be drowned out by conversation and the n
22、oise of companionship. When youre alone you get time to think without purpose.It is worth noting that Im a real introvert(性格内向者）,so perhaps sitting alone with my thoughts-refilling my energy reserves-might just be indulging personality traits that others dont have. But I believe more people could be
23、nefit from it.Given this constant social conditioning since childhood that we should be surrounded by people , its no wonder many hesitate to press forward at the idea of spending time alone-a sign weve failed at climbing that social ladder. And if youre an extrovert who gets their energy from other
24、 people, this must be even harder. But as someone who has come to love spending time alone, even when there are many wonderful souls in my life I can spend time with, I wish more people would give solo a go.Reservation for one, please.4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author wants
25、 to be alone all the time.B. The author feels bored with family and friends.C. Surrounded by people the author still feels lonely.D. Reserving a table for one will draw disapproving looks.5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The benefits of alone time.B. The weaknesses of social media
26、.C. The definition of being alone.D. The ways of spending time alone.6. How does an introvert regain their energy according to the author?A. By eating delicious food.B. By reflecting on their own thoughts.C. By socializing with others.D. By reading their favourite books.7. The last sentence Reservat
27、ion for one, please. is intended to . A. quote others wordsB. answer the waiters questionC. excite the readers appetiteD stress the authors determinationCEarly data from Israel suggests Covid-19 infection rates began to decrease among a group of vaccine (疫苗) recipients two weeks after they received
28、the first shot of Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SEs vaccine, offering important insights to other countries as they roll out their own campaigns.The small country whose roughly nine million population is about the size of New York Citys has vaccinated nearly a fourth of its population in just under a mon
29、th,the first country to hit that mark as it fights an upsurge (激增) in new infections. Israels largest health-care provider, Clalit Health Services, compared test positivity rates among 200,000 people over 60 who received the vaccine with 200,000 that didnt. Until day 14, there was little difference
30、between the two groups. But after that, the data showed a 33% fall in infection rates among those who had already been vaccinated compared with those who hadnt. Clalit noted that the number of people infected was statistically significant, but said it wouldnt release final numbers until its study is
31、 published.Pfizer says people must receive both doses of the vaccine for it to be fully effective. In Pfizers trials, the vaccine was shown to take about 12 days before it started to protect people. The Clalit study suggests that the first dose could reduce infections among those vaccinated as early
32、 as two weeks after injection.Israel, like many other countries, has given priority to those over 60 in the first stage of its vaccination drive,making the group the best fit for study. Nearly three out of four people in this age group have received the first dose of the vaccine since Israels campai
33、gn began on Dec.20.Israel has committed to providing Pfizer with real-time data about their vaccine,from effectiveness to side effects,which Israeli officials said helped it obtain early supply from the vaccine maker. Separately,Israels Health Ministry published data about side effects from the vacc
34、ine, saying they were similar in frequency and character to other vaccinations given to its people.8. What does the underlined part hit that mark refer to?A. Winning the intense battle against Covid-19.B. Getting most Israelis vaccinated in the shortest time.C. Vaccinating one quarter of Israelis in
35、 less than one month.D. Ensuring 25% of Israelis are given both doses of the vaccine.9. What does Clalit think of the number of newly infected people in Israel?A. It has been perfectly satisfactory.B. It should be released to the public.C. It will play a decisive role in further study.D. It is of gr

Israel reports side effects regularlyD. Israel publishes its data as instructed11. What can be a suitable title for
37、 the text?A. The Pfizer Vaccine Proves SafeB. Old People Get Vaccinated in IsraelC. Data Suggests Vaccine EffectiveD. Israel Succeeds in Fighting Covid-19DFriday was Chatty Bus day, an experiment aimed at getting people to talk to each other on public transport. This is not an idea that would appeal
38、 to those who commute in the rush hour, because there is a smaller distance within which its just as uncomfortable to talk. Elbow(肘) room is a precondition for sociability. It is no coincidence that the first truly personal music player, the Sony Walkman, was invented in Japan where the commuter tra
39、ins are literally crowded with people.We will also not talk to strangers who are physically too far away, of course. No one wants to shout their small talk. Only on country buses or similar unhurried and uncrowded forms of public transport can people reach out to their neighbors, confident that they
40、 are doing so from a position of strength and autonomy.For all these drawbacks, the idea of talking to strangers is still a good one, and the promotion of sociability is good for society. Although it does seem to be a general rule that people are friendlier the fewer there are of them and more hosti
41、le and indifferent as cities get more crowded, there are still considerable cultural variations. And there is evidence that friendlier places are also healthier, and their inhabitants happier.It is true that the apparent loneliness of many people on public transport is a false impression.Many will b
42、e caught up with conversations with distant friends on their phones; some will be talking to the people in books. Some may be in willed solitude with their headphones. But there are always people who would be interested in an unexpected conversation with a stranger. This need not go on for too long.
43、It is not large and possibly life-changing conversations that are what most people in loneliness miss most. What they really need is not deep thought but superficiality. The kind of conversation that you could have with anyone reminds you that you yourself might be anyone. It is a release from the p
44、rison of the self, which is where lonely people serve their sentences, uncertain whether they ever can be paroled(假释). Friendship may be too rare a gift to hope for, but sometimes the kindest thing to say is also the simplest: Dont be a stranger-and sometimes thats also enough.12. According to Parag
45、raph 1, why the first Walkman appeared in Japan partly? A. its corporate cultureB. its overcrowded public transportC. its peoples creativityD. its peoples desire for personal space13. Which of the following belongs to these drawbacks underlined in paragraph 3?A Chatty Bus day has not been introduced
46、 to other areas.B. Walkman prevents passengers from talking to each other.C. Passengers are unwilling to make small talk with strangers.D. Improper physical distance discourages casual communication.14. What is the author most likely to agree with?A. Small talk to strangers will help ease loneliness
47、 on the road.B. Lonely people are in desperate need of deep conversation.C. People in less populated cities tend to be cold and distant.D. Its inadvisable to talk to strangers who are physically too close.15. What is the authors main purpose in writing the text?A. To cast new light on human loneline

To explore the relationship between physical distance and willingness to reach out.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能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you feel under pressure to be more creat

176、0. when 41. has been used 42. categories 43. those 44. made 45. a【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对印章的起源和发展进行了详细说明。【详解】1.考查名词。句意：它以汉字为表现形式，以刀代替毛笔，以石代替纸。介词of后应用名词作宾语。名词expression意为“表达，表现”。故填expression。2.考查关联词。句意：它与古代青铜器碑刻相似，（所以）可视为袖珍版碑刻。前句“It is similar to inscriptions（碑文）on ancient bronze and stone tablets(石碑）”和后句
177、“it can be viewed as a pocket edition of tablet inscription”之间是并列或者因果关系，所以关联词可用and或so。故填so/and。3.考查一般过去时和被动语态。句意：战国、秦汉、魏晋时期它都被成为玺印。根据during the Warring States period, the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Wei and Jin periods可知，时态应用一般过去时。主语it和动词call构成被动关系，且为第三人称单数。故填was called。4.考查副词。句意：明清两朝是篆刻史上公认的两个黄金
178、时期，印章也被称为篆刻。修饰动词acknowledged应用副词。故填universally。5.考查定语从句。句意：而从唐至元这段漫长的时期，是皇家玺印走向衰微，篆刻有待复兴的时期。定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语，所以应用关系副词。先行词为a time（时代），所以应用when。故填when。6.考查现在完成时和被动语态。句意：隋唐以前使用泥印，唐宋以来使用印泥或红墨糊。根据since the Tang and the Song dynasties可知时态应用现在完成时。主语inkpad or red ink paste和动词use构成被动语态，且根据就前原则，谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故
179、填has been used。7.考查名词复数。句意：玺印可分为公章和私章两类。名词category为可数名词，所以two后应用复数形式。故填categories。8.考查指示代词。句意：官印是指皇帝和官员的印章。此处代指前文提到的seals，所以应用指示代词those。故填those。9.考查过去分词。句意：北京2008年奥运会会徽“中国印，舞动的北京”于2003年8月3日首次正式对外公布，它是由五环、北京的中国印和英文的“北京2008”组合而成的。make和逻辑主语the logo构成被动关系，且事情已经完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填made。10.考查不定冠词。句意：北京2008
180、年奥运会会徽“中国印，舞动的北京”于2003年8月3日首次正式对外公布，它是由五环、北京的中国印和英文的“北京2008”组合而成的。此处是第一次提到可数名词combination，所以应是泛指。故填a。第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15分）46. 假定你是李华，你在网上看到一家研究候鸟(migrant birds)的机构招募兼职候鸟观察员(bird watcher)。请你给该机构发一封应聘邮件，内容包括：1.自我推荐；2.自荐原因。注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Dear Sir/Madam_Yours,Li Hua【答案】One pos
