This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车)—Ferrari.
This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer. “It’s a very good opportunity for me,” Ella, already a British karting champion, tells CNN. “We have to do a few fitness tests in the first phase so that they can see our driving. ”
The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. Its current crop includes Mick Schumacher, the son of legendary Ferrari driver Michael, Enzo Fittipaldi, whose grandfather Emerson was a double F1 world champion, as well as Arthur Leclerc, the younger brother of Ferrari’s current F1 racer Charles.
On the face of it, there’s no place for a 13-year-old girl from a small village in England—who already has a mountain to climb as a female in a sport still dominated by males. After all, a female has not raced in F1 for nearly 30 years, and just five women have taken part in a grand prix (大奖赛).
But Stevens is being supported by a popular figure in the F1 community, Rob Smedley. He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads Talent Academy.
Smedley describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step”. “Having a major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded,” he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positive action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”
4. What will Ella win after fighting off a series of challenges
A. She’ll become a karting champion.
B. She’ll drive for Ferrari in Formula 1.
C. She’ll have to pass a few fitness tests.
D. She’ll become the first female racing champion.
5. Why is Mick Schumacher mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To make people believe he’s a famous racing driver.
B. To show Ferriari Driver Academy is difficult to enter.
C. To introduce that he was once a double F1 world champion.
D. To prove Ferrari Driver Academy is home to the promising racing drivers.
6. What does the underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. won. B. ruled. C. placed. D. grasped.
7 What’s the best title for the text
A. Ella Stevens: the First Female Racer
B. Ella Stevens: a Promising Racing Star
C. Formula 1—Ferrari: the World Top Race
D. Formula 1—Ferrari: a Race without Female
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了13岁的英国女孩Ella Stevens在赛车方面的卓越成就,进入了未来赛车明星的摇篮。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari (法拉利一级方程式赛车). (这是Ella Stevens,她只有13岁,正在争取一个为最著名法拉利一级方程式赛车的团队驾驶的机会)”和第二段第一句话“This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer. (今年秋天,史蒂文斯在法国的保罗·里卡尔赛道上面临着一系列挑战,无论是赛道上还是赛道外,最终的奖项是著名的法拉利赛车学院的第一位女赛车手)”可知,最后的奖励是作为第一个女性车手进入法拉利车手学校,即她将驾驶法拉利一级方程式赛车。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句话“The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. (事实上,该学院是培养未来赛车明星的温床)”可知,法拉利车手学校是很多未来赛车新星的揺篮。可推断后面列出的Mick Schumacher等传奇人物都是为了证明法拉利车手学院是有前途的赛车手的发源地。故选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词后句“After all, a female has not raced in Fl for more than 40 years, and just six women have taken part in a grand prix(大奖赛)weekend. (毕竟,已经有40多年没有一位女性参加过F1比赛了,只有六位女性参加过周末的大奖赛)”可知,这项运动女性选手很少,所以这是一项由男性“主导”的运动,即划线词dominated意为“主导”。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari (法拉利一级方程式赛车). (这是Ella Stevens,她只有13岁,正在争取一个为最著名法拉利一级方程式赛车的团队驾驶的机会)”及全文内容可知,文章介绍了13岁的英国女孩Ella Stevens在赛车方面的卓越成就,进入了未来赛车明星的摇篮。B选择项“一个有前途的赛车明星”适合作本文的标题。故选B。

Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China".
Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.
8. What made Bradley's life more colorful
A. Obtaining his PhD.
B. The cultural exchanges project.
C. The research about Beijing University.
D. The interest in international relations.
9. Why was Bradley given the chance
A. He produced the reality show.
B. His life in China was interesting.
C. He was one of the top 20 winners.
D. He liked photo stories most.
10. Which of the following best explains “stunning" in Paragraph 4
A. Fantastic. B. Confusing.
C. Agreeable. D. Extreme.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. It's difficult to produce moving TV series.
B. Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.
C. Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners.
D Many Australians know little about China.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Bradley来到北京大学进行合作研究,他在中国生活的照片故事赢得了最“喜欢”的人,并成为今年夏天该项目20个参观景点的获奖者之一。坐直升飞机观看中国的美景觉得澳大利亚人对中国知之甚少。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project”可知,文化交流项目提供了一个使这样的学术生活丰富多彩的机会。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer”可知,Bradley很幸运,因为他在中国生活的照片故事赢得了最“喜欢”的人,并成为今年夏天该项目20个参观景点的获奖者之一。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“The film crew took them to many “amazing sites"”和第四段最后一句“That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.”可知,这是布拉德利第一次坐直升机,他太专注于“惊人”的海岸线景观。A. fantastic不可思议的,奇异的;B. confusing令人困惑的;C. agreeable令人愉快的;D. extreme极端的。结合选项可知,stunning的意思与fantastic相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series.”可知,我想这么多澳大利亚人,一想到中国,就会联想到北京的历史古迹和上海令人兴奋的东西,但对其它美丽的地方却一无所知,比如三亚,或者这部电视连续剧中的许多其他地方。由此可推知,许多澳大利亚人对中国知之甚少。故选D项。
D
With over 4. 1 billion people, or around 55 percent of the world’s population, living in urban areas, cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly congested. In addition to spending many hours stuck in traffic, residents are also exposed to high air pollution levels caused by transportation emissions. Now, Saudi Arabia hopes to revolutionize urban living with “The Line”— a city designed around nature, without cars and roads!
“The Line” is designed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Located in NEOM — a 10,000-square-mile high-tech planned development on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi province of Tabu — The Line will be the cornerstone of MBS s Saudi Vision 2030. The plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s oil-dependent economy into other sectors, like tourism, and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens.
The 105-mile-long city, expected to cost between $100 billion and $200 billion, will be built along a straight line and is made up of several self-sustaining communities. To ensure all services are within a short, five-minute walk, each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure (基础设施).
The top “pedestrian layer” will be void of cars and roads, allowing residents to freely walk and bike in the surrounding green spaces. The second “service layer”, will include all essential daily services, such as schools, leisure facilities and grocery stores. The third “spine layer” will house high-speed subway and autonomous vehicles capable of transporting residents across communities in less than 20 minutes. The entire city will be powered with renewable clean energy sources such as solar and wind, and possibly even hydrogen.
If all goes according to plan t construction of this complex project will start before the 1st quarter of 2021. In addition to providing up to a million residents with a clean and stress-free living environment, The Line is expected to create 380,000 new jobs, start economic diversification, and contribute an astounding $ 48 billion to Saudi Arabia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030. More importantly, MBS believes it will provide governments worldwide a “blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony.”
12. We can infer that “The Line” will be_________.
A. temporary B. primitive C. eco-friendly D. conventional
13. What is The Line meant to result in
A. Low crime rates. B. High unemployment.
C. Super communities. D. Diverse economic sectors.
14. What can be found on the second layer
A. Medical clinics. B. Bus stops.
C. Underground trains. D. Cycling lanes.
15 Which of the following is the best title
A. Saudi Arabia Has Created A Green City With No Cars Or Streets
B. “The Line” Will Be The Cornerstone Of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030
C. “The Line”— Blueprint Of People And Animals Co-existing In Harmony
D. Saudi Arabia Announces “The Line”— A Low Carbon City Without Cars
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沙特阿拉伯希望用“The Line”来彻底改变城市生活——一个围绕自然而设计,没有汽车和道路的城市。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now, Saudi Arabia hopes to revolutionize urban living with “The Line”—a city designed around nature, without cars and roads! (现在,沙特阿拉伯希望用“The Line”来彻底改变城市生活——一个围绕自然而设计,没有汽车和道路的城市!)”可推知,“The Line”将会是环保的。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s oil-dependent economy into other sectors, like tourism, and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens. (该计划旨在使沙特依赖石油的经济多元化,进入其他领域,如旅游业,并为其公民创造令人兴奋的就业机会)”可知,这条线意味着产生多样化的经济部门。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The second “service layer”, will include all essential daily services, such as schools, leisure facilities and grocery stores. (第二个“服务层”,将包括所有基本的日常服务,如学校、休闲设施和杂货店)”可推知,第二层有医疗诊所。故选A。

Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy
Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness.
___16___. Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn’t merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.
Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers-something they typically avoided.___17___. None of the chatters reported being rejected.
Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易).___18___One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.
___19___.In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. ___20___.
A. The same is true of gallery goers.
B. They found that small talk is related with happiness
C. But don’t play down small talk just yet.
D. Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.
E. A “curious mindset”,the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”.
F. Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.
G. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了不要把聊天贬的一钱不值,科学家认为聊天能促进感情。
【16题详解】
根据上文“In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness.(在一项研究中,研究人员发现闲聊只占他们与快乐有关的谈话的10%。)”和下文“Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding.(科学家相信,闲聊可以促进联系)”。可知,关键词only和promote表明此空应该是一个表示转折的内容,C项:But don’t play down small talk just yet.(但是仍然不要降低闲聊)符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据空格下句“None of the chatters reported being rejected.(没有一个聊天的人表示自己碰了钉子。)”可知,上句的意思是:被告知要与别人聊天的人表示旅途更愉快。G项:Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.(那些被要求与他人聊天的人报告说旅途更愉快。)符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction.闲聊还能帮助我们感到与周边环境有关联。相对于买完东西就走的顾客,对星巴克的服务生微笑,与之有目光接触以及简单聊上几句的人表示自己更有归属感。)”和下文“One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.(一个报告发现当志愿者打破美术馆的寂静与艺术爱好者聊天时,参观者会比没被搭讪的人更快乐,更有与展览相关联的感觉。)”可知,根据上下句可知此空的意思是:对美术爱好者来说这同样是真的。它起承上启下的作用,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure(在一项研究中,被研究人员评定为“缺少好奇心”的人很难使交谈自然而然地进行下去,在拿到鼓励披露个人的信息问题时更有望与他人建立亲近感。)”可知,上句的意思应该是:我们当中的一些人比起他人更善于把闲聊变成更有意义的事情。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges.但是被认为“有好奇心”的人不需要帮助就能把诸如最喜欢的节日之类的乏味话题转化为亲近交流。)”可知,作者得出结论认为“好奇的心态”可以激发“积极的社会交往”。故选E。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述嘻哈文化的诞生地将建造一座有关嘻哈文化的博物馆的事情。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:布朗克斯,是于2023年准备开放的环球嘻哈博物馆永久的家园,计划庆祝嘻哈的历史,嘻哈是由非裔美国人,拉丁裔美国人和加勒比裔美国人创造的。be to do sth.表示“按计划或安排要做的事”,故此处用动词不定式。故填to celebrate。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。所填词修饰名词Americans作定语,故用形容词形式。故填African。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他指出,直到现在还没有一个实体地方,致力于保护嘻哈历史和文化。短语be devoted to中的to是介词,其后用动名词形式。故填preserving。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他说,这个博物馆始于八年前的一个想法,那时一些嘻哈歌手希望嘻哈故事可以被准确地讲述并流传下去。idea是可数名词,根据语境可知,此处表示泛指“作为一个想法、构思”,且idea发音是以元音因素开头,故需填不定冠词an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查副词。所填词修饰动词told,故填accurate的副词形式。故填accurately。
【46题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:当博物馆完成时,5570平方米的空间将有互动的展览,现场表演,电影屏幕和会议。根据“主将从现”原则可知从句需用一般现在时,且主语museum与complete之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is finished。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一个房间里将有一个高科技控制台,以游客对游戏里不同人物角色的反应为基础,控制台的互动特征将把游客带入一个嘻哈历史之旅。此处引导一个定语从句,先行词为console,关系词在从句中修饰characteristic作定语,故填whose。
【48题详解】
考查介词。reaction(s) to sb./sth.为固定搭配,意为“对……的回应”。故填to。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:展览将包括嘻哈音乐家Kurtis Blow的原装打鼓机,和曾经发行的第一和第二张唱片。根据空后Kurtis Blow可知,此处指“音乐家”,故填musician。
【50题详解】
考查名词复数。record作“唱片”讲为可数名词,根据空前the first and second rap可知,此处用record的复数形式。故填records。
第三部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(/\),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
When a student told Katie that he wanted bike but couldn’t afford it, she decided to make his dream come true. And she even took the whole school under consideration. At the school that she worked, a lot of students were poor. But Katie thought own their own bikes would make wonderfully memories for every child. To earn money for hundreds of new bike, Katie launched an online page, and finally raise enough money to pay for them. Katie was surprised the kids by announcing a gift over a loudspeaker at school. “Joy is the basic childhood right,” she said. “A bike is one of the top things that represents that.”
【答案】1. wanted后加a 2. it→one 3. under→into 4. that→where 5. 第一个own→owning 6. wonderfully→wonderful 7. bike→bikes 8. raise→raised 9. 去掉was 10. represents→represent
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一名教师筹钱为贫穷的学生们购买自行车,帮助他们创造美好的童年回忆。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意:当一名学生告诉凯蒂他想要一辆自行车,但买不起时,凯蒂决定实现他的梦想。bike意为“自行车”,为可数名词,这里表示他想要一辆自行车,表示泛指,且bike的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。故在wanted后加a。
2. 考查代词。句意参考上题。这里表示他买不起一辆自行车,应用one指代前文提到a bike,表示不确定范围中的一个。it特指前文提到的同一个事物,不符合题意。故将it改为one。
3. 考查介词。句意:她甚至考虑到了整个学校。take...into consideration意为“考虑到……”,为固定短语。故将under改为into。
4. 考查定语从句。句意:在她工作的学校,很多学生都很穷。分析句子结构,第三句中school后面是一个定语从句,从句中的谓语是worked,为不及物动词,且从句中缺少地点状语,所以应用where引导。故将that改为where。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意:但凯蒂认为拥有自己的自行车会给每个孩子留下美好的回忆。分析句子结构,thought后是一个宾语从句,从句中would之前是主语,所以应用动名词作主语。故将第一个own改为owing。
6. 考查形容词。句意参考上题。memories为名词,其前应用形容词作定语。wonderfully为副词,其形容词为wonderful(精彩的,使人愉快的)。故将wonderfully改为wonderful。
7. 考查名词的数。句意:为了赚几百辆新自行车的钱,凯蒂发起了一个网页,最终筹集到了足够的钱来购买。bike为可数名词,且其前有hundreds of修饰,所以应用名词复数。故将bike改为bikes。
8. 考查时态。句意参考上题。根据句中的launched可知,这里表示过去的事情,应用一般过去时。and连接两个并列的谓语,前后时态应当一致。故将raise改为raised。
9. 考查语态。句意:凯蒂在学校的喇叭里宣布了一份礼物,这让孩子们大吃一惊。surprise和主语Katie之间是主谓关系,和后面的the kids之间是动宾关系,所以这里应用主动语态。故将was去掉。
10. 考查主谓一致。句意:自行车是最能代表这一点的东西之一。最后一句中第一个that引导的是定语从句,指代先行词the top things,表示复数,且在从句中作主语,所以谓语应用复数。故将represents改为represent。

This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车)—Ferrari.
This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer. “It’s a very good opportunity for me,” Ella, already a British karting champion, tells CNN. “We have to do a few fitness tests in the first phase so that they can see our driving. ”
The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. Its current crop includes Mick Schumacher, the son of legendary Ferrari driver Michael, Enzo Fittipaldi, whose grandfather Emerson was a double F1 world champion, as well as Arthur Leclerc, the younger brother of Ferrari’s current F1 racer Charles.
On the face of it, there’s no place for a 13-year-old girl from a small village in England—who already has a mountain to climb as a female in a sport still dominated by males. After all, a female has not raced in F1 for nearly 30 years, and just five women have taken part in a grand prix (大奖赛).
But Stevens is being supported by a popular figure in the F1 community, Rob Smedley. He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads Talent Academy.
Smedley describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step”. “Having a major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded,” he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positive action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”
4. What will Ella win after fighting off a series of challenges
A. She’ll become a karting champion.
B. She’ll drive for Ferrari in Formula 1.
C. She’ll have to pass a few fitness tests.
D. She’ll become the first female racing champion.
5. Why is Mick Schumacher mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To make people believe he’s a famous racing driver.
B. To show Ferriari Driver Academy is difficult to enter.
C. To introduce that he was once a double F1 world champion.
D. To prove Ferrari Driver Academy is home to the promising racing drivers.
6. What does the underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. won. B. ruled. C. placed. D. grasped.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. Ella Stevens: the First Female Racer
B. Ella Stevens: a Promising Racing Star
C. Formula 1—Ferrari: the World Top Race
D. Formula 1—Ferrari: a Race without Female
C
Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China".
Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.
8. What made Bradley's life more colorful
A. Obtaining his PhD.
B. The cultural exchanges project.
C. The research about Beijing University.
D. The interest in international relations.
9. Why was Bradley given the chance
A. He produced the reality show.
B. His life in China was interesting.
C. He was one of the top 20 winners.
D. He liked photo stories most.
10. Which of the following best explains “stunning" in Paragraph 4
A. Fantastic. B. Confusing.
C. Agreeable. D. Extreme.
11 What can we infer from the last paragraph
A It's difficult to produce moving TV series.
B. Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.
C. Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners.
D. Many Australians know little about China.
D
With over 4. 1 billion people, or around 55 percent of the world’s population, living in urban areas, cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly congested. In addition to spending many hours stuck in traffic, residents are also exposed to high air pollution levels caused by transportation emissions. Now, Saudi Arabia hopes to revolutionize urban living with “The Line”— a city designed around nature, without cars and roads!
“The Line” is designed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Located in NEOM — a 10,000-square-mile high-tech planned development on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi province of Tabu — The Line will be the cornerstone of MBS s Saudi Vision 2030. The plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s oil-dependent economy into other sectors, like tourism, and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens.
The 105-mile-long city, expected to cost between $100 billion and $200 billion, will be built along a straight line and is made up of several self-sustaining communities. To ensure all services are within a short, five-minute walk, each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure (基础设施).
The top “pedestrian layer” will be void of cars and roads, allowing residents to freely walk and bike in the surrounding green spaces. The second “service layer”, will include all essential daily services, such as schools, leisure facilities and grocery stores. The third “spine layer” will house high-speed subway and autonomous vehicles capable of transporting residents across communities in less than 20 minutes. The entire city will be powered with renewable clean energy sources such as solar and wind, and possibly even hydrogen.
If all goes according to plan t construction of this complex project will start before the 1st quarter of 2021. In addition to providing up to a million residents with a clean and stress-free living environment, The Line is expected to create 380,000 new jobs, start economic diversification, and contribute an astounding $ 48 billion to Saudi Arabia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030. More importantly, MBS believes it will provide governments worldwide a “blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony.”
12. We can infer that “The Line” will be_________.
A. temporary B. primitive C. eco-friendly D. conventional
13. What is The Line meant to result in
A. Low crime rates. B. High unemployment.
C. Super communities. D. Diverse economic sectors.
14. What can be found on the second layer
A. Medical clinics. B. Bus stops.
C. Underground trains. D. Cycling lanes.
15. Which of the following is the best title
A. Saudi Arabia Has Created A Green City With No Cars Or Streets
B. “The Line” Will Be The Cornerstone Of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030
C. “The Line”— Blueprint Of People And Animals Co-existing In Harmony
D. Saudi Arabia Announces “The Line”— A Low Carbon City Without Cars

Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy
Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness.
___16___. Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn’t merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.
Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers-something they typically avoided.___17___. None of the chatters reported being rejected.
Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易).___18___One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.
___19___.In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. ___20___.
A. The same is true of gallery goers.
B. They found that small talk is related with happiness
C. But don’t play down small talk just yet.
D. Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.
E. A “curious mindset”,the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”.
F. Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.
G. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.

When a student told Katie that he wanted bike but couldn’t afford it, she decided to make his dream come true. And she even took the whole school under consideration. At the school that she worked, a lot of students were poor. But Katie thought own their own bikes would make wonderfully memories for every child. To earn money for hundreds of new bike, Katie launched an online page, and finally raise enough money to pay for them.
