In August 2019, two citizen scientists, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde FalunStrom landed on Spitsbergen, in Norway’s Svalbard island group. They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow.
Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read.
“We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile.
To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.
24. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen
A. They lived a boring life there.
B. They could always keep the door closed.
C. They brought drinking water with them.
D. They stayed in contact with other groups.
25. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3
A. They watched the wildlife carefully.
B. They invented an electric snowmobile.
C. They conducted experiments on drones.
D. They collected data of new technologies.
26. Which of the following best describes these two scientists
A. Generous. B. Optimistic. C. Sensitive. D. Honest.
27. What does the author want to convey through the two scientists’ story
A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin.
Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% .
What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience.
Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!”
The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Zibo.
B. The influence of social media.
C. The newfound popularity of Zibo.
D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station.
29. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students
A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation.
C. Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices.
30. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote an industrial city.
B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo.
C. To explain how to attract tourists.
D. To show the popularity of barbecue.
D
Stress is common in modern society. When you decide to do something about your stress levels it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, file for divorce, move to another country. Among all the stress management strategies out there we are forgetting one essential treatment — taking time for rest.
For a long time, psychology was based on a clear division between body and mind. Psychologists focused almost only on what went on between our ears. The body was the responsibility of medical doctors and gym instructors. Recently, however, there has been a growing realization within psychology circles that the body and mind are closely connected with each other, far more than anyone ever imagined. You suffer more from stress when you are feeling run down or are suffering from a flu. If you have a bad night’s sleep, everything is more stressful the next day.
While you are more likely to suffer from stress when you are feeling poorly, you can alleviate it by looking after your body. Rest is actually good for both body and mind. We all need at least a little time to think, to reflect on life and even just to be bored. Your free time is meant for relaxation and recovery, and that is impossible when you have too much to do.
We need to relearn the art of rest, especially in these busy times. Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted. It is only when we take a good rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress. I like to imagine that in a few years from now it will be entirely acceptable to say, “Given how hard I worked last week on our project, this week I am going to take a day off.”
32. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Only modern people feel stressed.
B. Psychologists don’t have to focus on the body.
C. Quitting your job is the best way to reduce stress.
D. Body and mind are strongly interacted with each other.
33. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Develop. B. Increase. C. Relieve. D. Maintain.
34. What can we know about rest
A. Rest contributes to mental relief.
B. Rest will surely make people bored.
C. The idea of rest is well accepted now.
D. Rest is needed only when people are tired.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Physical Health Affects the Mind
B. Rest is the Secret to Stress Relief
C. Brain Processes Psychological Pain
D. Good Life Starts with Stress Management

The Great Field Day
The sun was shining brightly on the day of the big school field day. All the kids from different schools gathered for a day of fun games and activities. As I looked around, I noticed Molly, a small girl standing all by herself on the side of the field.
Feeling curious, I walked up to Molly and asked why she wasn’t playing with the other kids. She usually had a big smile, but today she looked a bit sad. After a little pause, she told me she decided not to join in. I wondered why, as she had been excited about this day for a long time.
Feeling a bit worried, I had a chat with the person in charge and found out that Molly was worried about not being as fast or strong as the other kids. The person in charge thought it was best to let Molly choose whether to play or not.
Trying to cheer her up, I told Molly that she had her own-special qualities, and if she wanted to play, what others thought didn’t matter. Molly, still unsure, decided to give it a shot and joined me, looking a bit shy. I whispered, “It’s your choice. Don’t let what others think stop you. Your preparation is what counts the most.” Molly took a deep breath and turned to me with watery eyes.

56. providing 考查非谓语动词作状语。该句的逻辑主语A woodblock print art exhibition与provide之间是主动关系，故用providing。
57. works 考查名词的复数。因名词前有More than 220修饰，故用works。
58. on 考查介词。on display是固定短语，故用on。
59. is 考查主谓一致。因为主语Shizhuzhai是单数，整篇都是现在时，故用is。
60. a 考查冠词。have a history of…意思是“有……的历史”，故用a。
61. which 考查非限制性定语从句。此定语从句缺主语，且先行词treasures为物，故用which。
62. intelligence 考查词性变化。the+名词，故用intelligence。
63. organized 考查非谓语动词作定语。此处是exhibition与organize之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。
64. strengthening 考查动名词。因为在介词in后，故要用动名词。
65. traditional 考查词性变化。因为后面的名词culture前要用形容词修饰，故用traditional。

M: Today I’m talking with 15-year-old Adriana Brown. She built her own bicycle generator. Adriana, can you tell us about your project How did you get started
W: Well, I’ve helped my dad with some of his projects. But I decided I wanted to do my own project this time. So I researched ideas on the Internet. I decided on a bicycle generator because it’s really useful. I can use it to power my computer.
M: So, how did you build it
W: First, I found plans for generators. I chose a simple design and made a first draft of the project. Then, my dad made some suggestions and I made another draft. After that, I started to look for materials. The only problem was that I didn’t have a lot of money, so it was difficult!
M: So, what did you do
W: Well, I went to a bicycle shop and a car repair shop. I told them about my project. They gave me some extra parts.
M: Oh, that was nice.
W: Yeah, it really was… When I got all the materials, I was ready to put it all together.
M: Well, I think it’s great. Very impressive!

M: OK, are you all settled Well, first of all, welcome to Cardiff University. I’m here to explain what we can offer you.
Now, as a new student at the university, you will probably need some sort of guidance to help you to use the library effectively to study and research. Some of you have asked about a guided tour but we find this rather confuses people. So, in this first week, we run a series of talks which focus on different aspects of the library and its resources.
OK, now let me give you an outline of what’s available to you. You’ll find that the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. Many students do most of their research on the Internet and the library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you’ll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need.
Naturally we do still have the full range of classic reference books for you to use and there are several copies of each one. This is because some of you may prefer to borrow a book rather than sit in the library. There is a restricted loan time on these so that they are not missing from the shelves for too long. Although there is a Section Manager for each part of the library, they are very busy and so, if you do get stuck looking for things, you should ask the relevant Cataloguing Assistant. As your Training Supervisor, I just oversee your work for a week and will not be around after this initial week.
