For our official holidays, like the National Holiday, many people'd like to go on a visit to some places of interest. Yesterday our class had a heated discussion about whether we should travel during holidays.One man's meat is another man's poison. Some students are for it. They think visitors can enjoy a good variety of scenery. Facing glorious(壮丽的) touristattractions, travelers may well broaden their eyes. At the same time, they can keep fit by walking on foot, and taste different delicious food that they can't get in their own hometowns. What's more, travelling can make a contribution to our economy development, mainly to the local economy development. Most travelers need to buy tickets to go to their destinations, thus traffic department will earn money. Travelers also need to sleep and eat, thus local hotels and restaurants also share benefits. Paying admission(门票费) benefits local governments. As for native farmers, they can benefit from selling local specialities to many travelers. In this case, money circulation(货币流通) is speeded up.

On the other hand, other students are against it. They believe it's a waste of money. Some famous places of interest are too crowded, while those smaller ones are not worth visiting. Travelling may cause traffic jams here and there. What's worse, due to travelling here and there, there exist some accidents on the road. Besides, it's known that travelling can also pollute the local environment. In order to reduce air and waste pollution, people should have a rest to the full, reading books or watching TV at home. Recently, many have been afraid of being infected with COVID-19 in particular.

As far as I am concerned, travelling is a good choice to spend holidays. And the government should take some measures to solve the existing problems. More policemen should be on duty to deal with accidents in time. Can we make a small change to the period when people don't have to go to work in some provinces? Let's take the example of the National Holiday, if some provinces of our country spend this holiday mainly in late September, with the National Day coming to an end, rather than in earlyOctober, most famous places of interest will not become crowded. At the same time, visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely here and there. Last but not least, never should we travel when there is a pandemic(大流行病，瘟疫). It's our duty to

prevent its spread.

4. What does the underlined sentence “One man's meat is another man's poison” in this passage mean? A. Some persons like meat, while others don't. B. Different persons taste meals differently. C. A man mistakes meat for poison.

D. Different persons have different opinions on one thing. 5. How do travelers contribute to our economy development? A. They buy all kinds of tickets.

B. They walk, sleep, eat and meet native farmers.

C. They speed up money circulation by spending money on transport, accommodations(膳宿), specialities and admission.

D. They only enjoy visiting many glorious tourist attractions. 6. Which sentence of the following is not true? A. There's a need for more policemen.

B Some provinces can change the date of an official holiday completely. C. Visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely. D. People should never travel when there is a pandemic. 7. What the author's attitude to travel during holidays?

A. He doesn't show his opinion. B. He doesn't agree at all.

C. He supports unconditionally. D. He supports and makes some suggestions.

C

Zaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.

So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.

Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened

his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.

The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.

8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Zaki’s grandfather was a good diver. B. Zaki liked staying at home every day. C. Zaki practised hard in the water daily. D. Zaki’s grandfather encouraged him to dive.

9. Which of the following best describes Zaki according to paragraph 3? A. Considerate. B. Ambitious. C. Confident. D. Adventurous.

10. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text? A. Farid beat his little brother easily. B. Zaki was as strong as his brother. C. Zaki regretted losing the competition. D. Both Farid and Zaki had grown up. 11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Farid’s Pride B. Zaki’s Challenge

C. Brothers’ Competition D. Grandfather’s Advice

Have you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product? These promotions might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?

Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?

Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.

Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.

Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’ can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.

So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself examining a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced. 12. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products? A. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images. B. Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities. C. Because celebrities want to make more money. D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.

13. According to the passage, which strategy is often used by influencers? A. Setting up operation platforms. B. Sending gifts to customers.

C. Improving relationship with the company. D. Taking advantage of their popularity. 14. To customers, the recommendations of influencers seem to be ________.

A. offensive B. subjective C. objective D. misleading 15. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how social media make ads B. how social media influence our lifestyle C. how social influencers affect our buying D. how celebrities earn fame 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Everybody yawns (打哈欠) – from unborn babies to great-grandparents. But why, exactly, do we yawn?_____16_____.

One theory (理论) is that when we are bored or tired, we just don’t breathe as deeply as we usually do. _____17_____.Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.

Yawning, then, would be an action that we can’t really control to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less. _____18_____. Hmmm. Now what?

_____19_____. Stretching (拉伸) and yawning may be a way to relax muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake.

Other people believe that yawning is a protective way to redistribute (重新分配) the oil-like substance called surfactant that helps keep lungs from drying up.So, if we didn’t yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder – and that would not be good!

But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true:_____20_____. If you yawn in class, you’ll probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not many! A.It seems to spread

B.Yawning seems to be common

C.No one knows for sure, but there are many theories

D.Another theory is that yawning stretches the lung and lung tissue E.This theory indicates yawning, like a deep breath, helps us feel fresh F.Likewise, breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning

G.As this theory goes, our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）
