He Zhigang’s eyes pleaded with the elevator dial as he stood waiting on the ground floor.
The red numbers wouldn’t budge. He glanced at his phone. The elevator. The phone. He pushed back his helmet, lifted the delivery bag of steamed buns and prepared to run up 20 flights of stairs. The elevator doors opened. He exhaled. The hungry office worker probably won’t remember who brought him lunch on a Friday afternoon, or(21)________ it was 11 minutes and 20 seconds before the allotted time. Maybe he’ll notice the colorful uniforms that flood Beijing streets and think of the beef noodle soup that came still too hot to eat, or the deliveryman who screeched past on an electric scooter and nearly took out his driver's side mirror.
These wai mai, or take-out, drivers symbolize China’s transformation from a poor society (22)_______(dedicate) to manufacturing to a more affluent(23)________ driven by consumption.
Delivery drivers are “high risk” because they run red lights and drive(24)________traffic. They meld (融入)into the chaos of the street ,where cars make U-turns in the middle of the road, bicycles ride on sidewalks and motorcycles play chicken with oncoming traffic. Eye contact acknowledge defeat. Electric scooters like He’s (25)_________(add) to the scramble(争抢)only.
The dinner crush(26)_________(start)by 6 p.m. when He walked into a west Beijing mall. He’d just passed a bag of noodles to the hand that(27)_________(emerge) from an apartment door. Now he needed to pick up a plate of sashimi, which he’d never eaten. Lines of Japanese, Korean and Yunnan restaurants occupied the mall’s top floor, (28)_________(beg) for customers who weren’t there. Instead, red-shirted wai mai drivers poured out of the elevator. Blue shirts came from the right. Yellow took the escalators. These drivers may not benefit from China’s economic rise as much as their customers, but they’ve secured a spot in a country(29)________ opportunity comes and goes quickly.
There was pride in He’s voice when he told the waiters: “I’m(30)_______deliveryman. He picked up the sushi, nodded at the other drivers, and got back on his bike. Hungry people were waiting.

On a(an)(31)_______ bullet train, a virus suddenly spreads throughout like wildfire. Will you lend a helping hand to those in need, or focus all your energy on self-preservation?
Train to Busan, a South Korean zombie film which raises this question, has recently set Chinese social media aflutter. To fulfill his young daughter’s birthday wish, divorced hedge fund manager Seok-wu (Gong Yoo) takes the girl on a train from Seoul to Busan to visit her mother. Early in the journey, a scruffy-looking young woman staggers onto the train at the last second, herself(32)_______ infected by something.
It doesn’t take a hardcore fan of the genre to predict what happens next–the dead-looking girl takes a bite out of a passing attendant, then all hell breaks(33)________. Both would-be saviors and cowardly egocentrics(以自我为中心)are among those who are able to fight their way to survive.However, unlike the traditional powerful and obliging heroes of Western zombie stories, Seok-wu, as the lead protagonist, never intends to save the day during the most part.
Setting his character’s tone, the self-(34)________ man locks the door for his own safety when a pregnant woman fleeing from zombies tries to get in. He forbids his daughter to offer her seat to an elderly woman, telling her that only ones own well-being(35)_________ matters in extreme conditions. He also uses his contacts to try(36)_________ a way out for him and his young daughter, not considering his hundreds of fellow passengers. Even when he(37)_________ up with a dauntless(无所畏惧的) bruiser and a high school baseball player to fight the zombie hoard, the viewer can guess that his only motivation is the survival of him and his daughter.
Compared with the familiar gore-fests of TV series like The Walking Dead (2018-), Train to Busan actually provides a(38)________bloody setting, instead focusing on the complexities of human behavior, rather than the senseless shedding of limbs. The zombie genre has been done to death – no pun intended – but Train to Busan largely(39)________ its success to its vivid character portrayal. For example, the central character is a workaholic father who doesn’t pay enough attention to his daughter but ends up putting his life at stake for her. We also see a selfish, middle-aged man who later reveals that his only mission is to simply reunite with his mother. Love and relationships seem to be a central theme, with a young couple proving their loyalty to one another as well as two elderly sisters who serve to represent family(40)________.

(A)
He lived a tragically short life, but one that was full of incident. The English writer Percy Bysshe Shelley chose the wrong day to go on a sea trip: He drowned in the Gulf of Spezia near Italy, aged 29, in 1822.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Shelley went to the University of Oxford but did not complete his studies. He was thrown out for writing a book called the Necessity of Atheism at a time when you couldn’t talk easily about not believing in God.
This radical view of the world led him to take the side of the underdogs of society. In Manchester in 1819 there was a demonstration of between 60,000 and 8000 working people. They wanted to be able to vote for members of parliament. They were cut down by the police, and many were killed or injured. To express his support for there cause. Shelley wrote a poem called The Masque of Anarchy. It closes by asking people to rise in “unvanquishable number” and reminds readers :“You are many-they are few”
This calls for people to rise up-the spirit of revolution-is present in many of his poems. Perhaps his greatest poem is Ode to the West Wind. Although it seems simply to be about nature and the seasons, these actually show social struggles. It was written at a time when those struggles seemed to have been defeated. Everything seemed to be winter as far as social justice went. Nevertheless, Shelley ends the piece with an inspiring question: “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind”
Of the many memorable question :“If winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”
Of the many memorable lines Shelley wrote, these may be the most meaningful. They also perfectly expects the idealism and political commitment in his poetry.

We have been all there -when liming up at the supermarket checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem to be moving faster than the one we are standing in. Now The New York Times has put together the research of multiple scientists to give you some insights into the math and psychology of queuing. It has also offered tips on licking the fastest line no matter you’re lining up in a supermarket, a bank or anywhere else.
Pick someone with a full cart
US mathematician Dan Meyer believes that a cart full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person requires a fixed amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per person. On the other hand, the time that each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds. This means if only one person ahead of you, with 50 items in the cart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. You do the math”
Study the customers
How many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another. For example, if they are old people-and this is not ageist-they tend to move slower and delay the checkout process . The items their carts are also important. For example, four bottles of the milk will definitely go faster than four completely different items.
Choose a “serpentine line”
In some place, there may just be one line leading to several checkout counts. The person at the head of line goes to next available counter. This is known as a “serpentine line”. You should always choose a serpentine line because even if one of the cashiers is slow, it won’t hold up an entire lion.
Go left
According to Robert Samuel, a US science writer, around 90 percent of people are right-handed, which means they tend to naturally go to the right. So heading to the opposite direction-left-will give you a better chance of finding a faster line.
60. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To list the potential dangers of choosing a wrong queue
B. To tell tell readers which supermarket can save the most time
C. To instruct the readers how to avoid picking the wrong queue
D. To provide some tips on how to kill time when one is in the line
61. The mathematician Dan Meyer agrees with the statement that .
A. A checkout assistant will save time if he rings up goods fster
B. Finishing a cart full of items can be limited to only 41 1seconds
C. Trolleys with full loads doesn’t mean waiting for a longer time.
D. Maths fails to account for the theory behind one’s waiting time
62. Because , you probably find yourself standing in a line which moves relatively slower than the others.
A. The line you choose are among the ones on the right
B. The checkout assistant have to go through the routine
C. You are waiting behind a group of teenage customers
D. You have chosen a serpentine line over a straight one
(C)
It seems that smoking isn't the popular pastime it used to be in the West, For example, figures published recently by the BBC say that the amount of smokers in England is dropping drastically each year and is now its lowest ever, with just 16.9 percent of adults still participating in the habit
But what is it that’s enticing British people to throw away the cigs and get motivated to live a smoke-free style? Each year, October is a time to quit in the UK. Beginning in 2018,“Stoptober”is an annual government-run scheme that encourages Brits to say goodbye to cigarettes. Throughout the month, a series of TV and radio ads, alongside a smart phone app and social media campaign, offer help and inspiration to those considering going smoke-free.
Among the people encouraged by this year's campaign was Samantha Griffiths, 31, a criminal investigation student from Preston, England. HI stopped smoking this year after 13 years -1 used to smoke almost a whole pack a day. I was inspired by Stoptober but decided to quit early, although Tm helping a friend who wants to quit this month she says.
Earlier this year, UK authorities introduced several new restrictions on tobacco in the hope of getting people to quit. The changes included a ban on packs of 10 cigarettes - sold alongside regular packs (20 cigs) as they were cheaper - as well as the requirement of a uniform design on every manufacturer's packaging.
"Plain packaging” rules mean that every brand must now look the same - an olive green-colored pack with a shocking health warning image on each side. The brand name is now simply plain black lettering, with logos completely banned. The green color was chosen following research commissioned ($1^) by the Australian government (which introduced plain packaging in 2018) that tasked 1,000 smokers to choose a shade that would put them off their habit. Australia and the UK also have some of the highest tobacco taxes in the world, with a pack of Marlboro costing AS26 (133 yuan) in Australia. The same product can be had for as little as 20 yuan in China.
“I was spending almost 250 (2,172 yuan) a month on cigarettes before 1 quit” says Griffiths “I am saving the money I would have spent to take my young daughter to Disneyland Pins next year.” So if you’re a smoker, why not join the Brits in trying to quit this month? You may not save enough to get toPairs, but fortunately China has a Disneyland of its own.
63.Which of the following statement about stoptober is false?
A.It is an official organization administered by the UK authorities.
B.It contributes to the decrease in the number of smokers in the UK.
C.It encourage people to stop smoking through a variety of channels.
D.It inspired Samantha Griffiths to give up smoking from his October.
.Which of the following measures have the UK authorities adopted to control the amount of smokers?
A.Those who quit smoking were granted a free trip to Paris Disneyland.
B.A tax as heavy as that in Australia was imposed on a tobacco products.
C.The use of green color is totally forbidden in the packing of cigarettes.
D.Regular-sized cigarette were not permitted to be sold throughout the UK.
65.According to the “plain packing” rules conducted in the UK ,what’s not printed on its cigarette packing?
A.warning image B.brand name C.brand logo D.price tag
66.Which of the following can best explain the last sentence “fortunately China has a Disneyland of its own.”
A.Patriotic China citizens will visit their own Disneyland rather than go abroad.
B.In China, the expense spared from quitting smoking can ill afford a trip to Pairs.
C.The strict no-smoking policy is gladly being implemented in China’s Disneyland.
D.Tourists are entitled to purchasing less expensive cigarettes in China’s Disneyland.
Section C
Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need
A.Some workers need their duties and hours to be dictated.
B. These temporary workers cannot be categorized into gig workers.
C.But the phrase has now evolved to describe different methods of short-term work.
D.They hoped that “permanent” hiring would return as the overall economy recovered.
AB. Most of the gig workers treasure the golden opportunity and regard it as a lifetime job.
AC.As employers slice and dice at their payrolls, some even contract entire departments out to
third-party providers
A generation ago in the US, if you heard a friend talking about having a gig, chances were that yourfriend was a musician. (67)___________________Self-employment, contract or freelance work, temporary jobs - just about anything that isn't full-time - can be described as a gig.
The rise of the "gig economy" came along with the evolution of on-demand or as-needed hiring. Digital ordering, stock management, sales, andexpense programs have made large teams of full-time staff a thing of past with some companies taking on temporary workers as and when they need them.(68)_____________________
For a while, the gig trend was seen as a temporary response to the Great Recession. Victims of downsizing took on as-needed jobs or tried to make a go of entrepreneurship because that's all that was available.(69)___________________.However, this did not happen on the scale they hoped. This shift means that driving for ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft has become one of the most common new jobs in the US. Surveys find that many gig economy workers are happy with their new roles with the hourly pay may be better than what they earned as permanent employees. They may enjoy work-hour flexibility that’s perfect for their family or education needs. And they may even find they good at being their own boss.
They said,however,Self-employment isn't for everyone. (70)_______ they're not self-starters or can't identify gig opportunities and follow through. Gigs are also not likely to provide traditional benefits such as subsidized healthcare insurance,and aren’t likely to come with retirement plans,although this may not be an issue for those with a well-developed financial discipline.Yes,the inconsistency of gigs can be scary.But,really,who doesn’t like an adventure?
Summary writing
You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量)has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.
Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture —namely Asians’ hospitality (好客)—is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions. “In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.
Needless to say ,the children are being spoiled by their parents is another cause of children’s overweight. More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents’ improved circumstances. “In the past , people had four or more children —now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them ,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t want to move because they’re fat.
Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.

Summary
