In many Asian countries, masks     1     (wear) on many occasions in daily life, such as doing housework or visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected. Young people in Japan even choose masks as their fashion statement,     2     (express) their personal style through unique designs and patterns.

In fact, wearing a mask is also an outward expression of group-oriented (集体倾向的) values. With one's face     3     (cover), one becomes part of a giant whole.     4    ,   western countries would argue that individual values are far     5     (importance).   As     6     citizen,     7    is one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following hygienic (卫生的) procedures (步骤), such as washing one's hands and limiting one's contact with others. A face mask is only suitable     8     those showing symptoms (症状) of illness.

Whether from the East or the West, what matters is to respect others'     9     (opinion), no matter     10     different they are.

Dear Yang Hui,

I’ve heard you’ll have a two-weeks summer holiday and have decided to visit as much new places as possible. I don’t think it’s a good idea. My friend Li Hua goes to Europe last July. He visited four countries, and stayed for only three days in each of the country. He was always in hurry. Li Hua was neither on a train or a bus almost every day. When he returned back from Europe, he was very tiring. So I suggest that he travel to one country and visit only one city. Choose a city on the coast, or you’ll be able to have a good rest at the seaside.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Wang Feng

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

What will the city of the future look like? No one knows for sure, and making predictions is a risky business. But one thing is certain － they are going to get bigger before they get smaller. In the future, care for the environment will become very important as earth’s natural resources run out. We will use lots of     1    (recycle) materials, such as plastic, aluminum, steel, glass, wood and paper, and we will waste fewer natural resources. We will also have to rely more on     2     (alternate) energy, such as solar and wind power. All this seems certain     3     there are plenty of things about city life in the future which are not certain.

To find out    4    young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at    5     university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2015. Here are some of the ideas they had:

Garbage ships To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun,     6     (prevent) landfill and environmental problems.
Forget smoking No smoking will be allowed within a future city’s    7     (limit). Smoking will be possible only outside cities, and outdoors.
Batman Nets Police will arrest     8    (crime) by firing nets instead of guns.
Telephones for life Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth     9     will never change wherever they live.
Recreation All forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others will be provided free     10     charge by the city.
Cars All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will be possible to change the colour of cars at the flick of a switch.

8 . If you live in a town or city on the edge of a desert or coastline where sand dunes form, you might understand the threat they can have. It’s, sometimes, a piece of cake for them to cover roads, buildings, farms and other man-made developments with their unpredictable movements. Thus, figuring out how they move is important for preventing some natural disasters.

Now scientists have discovered that dunes have been secretly moving in ways we never knew before. There are different explanations on dune interaction, however, Karol Bacik, first author on the new dune study, and his colleagues have found a new one for dune movement. The researchers employed high-speed cameras to observe how dunes separated by distance can act as if they’re connected.

It turns out, currents flowing over sand dunes can carry “information” to other dunes downstream in the form of swirls(旋涡). For instance, as wind or water flows over the top of a dune, it slightly moves. This can generate “swirls” on the back of a downstream dune and push it in a direction opposite the movement of the front dune.

It’s the first time that researchers were able to provide causal explanations for some of these strange, previously unpredictable movements. The team also hopes to get out of the laboratory and into the real world, to see if their models can be applied to dune movements in complex natural systems. They plan to use satellite images over large deserts to track groups of dunes over long periods.

Perhaps they can start to alter the dune marching orders in the near future. Imagine being able to tell a dune field exactly how you want it to move. That’s the idea that this research might one day make possible.

1. We can learn that the purpose of the study is to _________.

A．stop the sand dunes from moving around

B．figure out the track of sand dune movements

C．prove the interaction of dunes with each other

D．examine a model of sand dunes in the real world

2. What does the underlined word “one” in Para. 2 refer to?

A．A study.

B．An interaction.

C．An explanation.

D．A dune.

3. Which of the following can we know from the passage?

A．A sand dune communicates with another only by currents.

B．Swirls on the back of a dune are the power to move itself.

C．Some strange dune movements have got causally explained before.

D．Researchers think it unnecessary to study further on the dune models.

Jane Eyre is a world-famous storybook, which is very popular to middle school students. The main character Jane is one of my favorite heroine. The book tells us not only about her hard life and about her efforts to gain her happiness. It were her perseverance and determination which helped her to get what she deserved at last. I liked Jane very much, and her story leaves a great effect on her life and study. I make up my mind work hard at my lessons. Meanwhile, I will try to make the full use of any opportunity to train my characters, especial my tolerance and perseverance to solve all of the difficulties in my life.

10 . General Motors (GM) shared the first details of its third-generation electric vehicle (EV) and Ultium battery system just about a month ago, but it won’t be the only automaker using this new EV hardware. Honda(本田) is now planning to build two new electric models based on the GM tech.

Sharing of EV technology across automakers is becoming an increasingly common practice. Last summer, Ford reached an agreement to build at least one European battery electric vehicle (BEV) based on Volkswagen’s platform and more recently, Hyundai(现代) announced plans to use the electric platform from California-based startup Canoo.

This hardware sharing makes sense for automakers since the technology is expensive to develop but once it’s built into a vehicle, there won’t be much to distinguish(区分) one from another. Sharing allows the development cost to be spread over more vehicles, which is crucially important for a company to seize market share in the fierce competition.

While Honda has an excellent reputation for designing traditional engines, having even supplied some to GM in the past, it has struggled with BEVs. The Japanese automaker has focused more on fuel cell(电池) technology whose adoption is very limited at present. The only BEV that Honda currently offers in the U.S. market is the Clarity EV which offers just 89 miles of range on a charge. While Honda’s own BEV efforts don’t seem to have gained any progress, they have been working with GM on battery module design since 2018 and likely had a hand in the development of Ultium battery system.

The so-called “top-hats” which make up the body and inside of the vehicle will be designed and developed by Honda, however, the propulsion system and battery will come from GM. The first of the new Honda BEVs are scheduled to go on sale in 2024 and be produced at GM factories.

1. Which automaker will probably use the new EV hardware besides GM?

A．Ford.

B．Honda.

C．Volkswagen.

D．Hyundai.

2. What is becoming more and more common among automakers?

A．Using electric platform.	B．Building electric models.
C．Sharing EV technology.	D．Seizing car market share.

3. Why is hardware sharing necessary to automakers?

A．Because making vehicles is difficult.

B．Because designing engines is important.

C．Because distinguishing vehicles is necessary.

D．Because developing technology is very expensive.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A．Honda has defeated GM in developing BEVs.

B．Honda will be better than GM in developing BEVs.

C．Honda and GM will be partners in developing BEVs.

D．Honda will purchase GM factories to produce BEVs.
