16、m.Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays. He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing.

17、Cheap and interesting.”“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “Ill spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. Theyll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of J

18、uly there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm. But four days later, he returned home. “What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didnt you enjoy country life?”“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”“Oh. What?”“Well,” h

19、e said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”“Whats wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”“Lucky you!”“You dont understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died an

20、d we had roast pork for dinner.”“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are grumbling!”“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer died, and I didnt dare (敢) stay for dinner!”28“ and you are grumbling!”, the word “grumble” means _.A夸奖B说三道四C抱怨D故弄玄虚29Which of the followin

22、ood time.CA short holiday.DHenry and the farmer.I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and placed their own orders.To my disappointment, the group got served before me. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I heard one o

23、f them bragging (吹嘘) about how hed connected to someone who worked at the restaurant. Unable to stand it anymore, I decided to leave. I called the waiter over to cancel my order.He calmly told me, “Yours is a special order being prepared by the head chef himself. Itll take a little more time. Please

24、 have a drink while you wait.”I calmed down and waited patiently. Shortly after, my meal was served by six waiters.To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant turned out to be a long-lost friend of mine. He had seen me as I walked in and decided to surprise me. He upgraded (升级) my simple meal to a f

25、ive- star meal for free. The people at the other table were shocked and couldnt stop staring. Suddenly they started murmuring (低声抱怨 ), asking why they didnt get that kind of service.Such is life! Some people are ahead of you, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, wiser and better t

26、han you, how they are well-connected and blessed (幸运的 ). You are working hard tirelessly, wondering why its taking so long for you to be rewarded.You just have to wait longer because your reward (回报) is more special.31Theauthorsmealturnedouttobe _.AforgottenbythewaiterBaspecial treatfromanoldfriendC

28、friend indeed. DIndustry is the parent of success. Why not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and even their sex, why not just decide which language you want to write? Ever since Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, people have been as

29、king me, “Why dont you write in Italian, Tim? After all, youve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic(经济的) convenience?Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is no

30、t possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write

31、in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan(大都市的) publi

32、c, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All

33、 these make sense. Critics(评论家) tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched（改变）to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English sp

34、eaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However,

35、one fact is that changing languages doesnt always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The sec

36、ond language never seems to mean quite as much as the first. In any event, after my early experiment, I never went back to write in Italian. Changing language is not the only way to bring energy to your writing.34The author writes the first paragraph to _.Aintroduce the topic of this passageBprovide

37、 background informationCstress the importance of EnglishDexplain why he writes in English35Why are some writers willing to write in a foreign language?AThey have published a lot of works at home.BTheir works are uncommon in their own countries.CA new language may offer a wider readership.DThey want

38、to be accepted by middle class.36What can we infer from the passage?ANative English writers are at a disadvantage for writing in English.BWriters cant be entirely separated from their own culture and language.CWriters should write in a foreign language to draw critics attention.DAny writer can succe

39、ed with the switch of a new language.37Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AWrite in a foreign languageBPublish at homeCEconomy decides everythingDWrite books in Italian四、根据汉语提示填空38_ (比较) with traditional cars, electric cars are more environment-friendly.五、用所给单词的正确形式填空39Tom

45、the fight against the virus, as various products and apps are giving them a hand. Here are some examples.Drones (无人机)Drones have played a major role in disinfection (消毒). Police officers also use them to spread the latest information. Whats more, they use drones to remind people to wear masks or war

46、n them not to gather in large groups.Robots Robots are good helpers on the frontlines. They do many tasks in hospitals, including sending medicine or meals, doing disinfection and measuring patients body temperature. This not only greatly reduces the burden for medical workers, but also prevents the cross-infection (交叉感染).Mini-programmesDifferent mini-programmes, or apps that you dont need to do
