For the first time in two years, our school held a Halloween homecoming dance. This year’s homecoming was around a recent soccer victory against the neighboring school. Everyone was in a particularly festive mood.
At the same time, for a safer gathering during the COVID-19, we were required to hold the dance outdoors if we wanted to go mask-free. This was unfortunate because temperatures in Boston were expected to be no higher than 10℃ that night. Later, I realized that the cold was the least of my worries.
We sent apology letters out to the neighbors surrounding the school and told them to expect loud music on Oct 29. Then on that Friday night, members of the Student Union gathered together to decorate the tent provided by the school as a protection from the cold.
After two hours of blowing balloons, putting fake spider webs on trees and setting up the food table, people started showing up in their costumes. I ran away to the bathroom to dress up. Having seen all the news about Asian hate in the US, I decided that it was important to present Asian spirit—thus I proudly dressed myself up in a traditional Chinese qipao.
When I got outside again, the dance was in full swing. There was a DJ spinning songs, and the lights were flashing away, though no one was on the dance floor yet. However, things took a sharp turn when a familiar song—Gangnam Style by South Korean singer Psy—came on, and the dance floor was never empty again until the end of the evening. With every beat drop, the crowd jumped crazily to the beat, and I followed along. My feet hurt so much at the end of the evening, but I’ll admit that it was worth all of the excitement I experienced.
4、What can we learn about the homecoming dance?
A. It was our school’s first-ever homecoming.
B. It was celebrated after a sports victory.
C. It was held to fight against COVID-19.
D. It aimed to compete with another school.

Reflection of real culture?
Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean-American author Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name, has become a surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social media.
Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian actors, full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism(多元化). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie.
However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see that it’s clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about the funny story of Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu and her rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can’t help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
“There are a lot of people who don’t relate to that…of course there will be lot of fain criticism(批评) about the fact that it doesn’t fully represent the entire population,” wrote Penelope Poulou of VOA News.
According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate(准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t completely break stereotypes(刻板印象) of Asian people, it’s still a small step in the right direction. And while it’s encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go.
8、What can we learn about Crazy Rich Asians?
A. It was on show in 2013. B. It is adapted from a TV series.
C. It stars all-Asian actors. D. It was shot in China.
9、The author mentioned Black Panther mainly to ______.
A. describe the popularity of multiculturalism in the US
B. show Hollywood’s efforts in promoting multiculturalism
C. stress the differences between the two films
D. explain its influence on Crazy Rich Asians
10、Why have some people criticized Crazy Rich Asians?
A. It fails to describe real Asian culture.
B. It doesn’t change Americans’ stereotypes of Asians.
C. It has copied from The Great Gatsby.
D. It shows too much American elements.
11、Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward Crazy Rich Asians?
A. Subjective. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
    Have you ever heard that some animals can understand zero as well? Experiments with monkeys and birds have proven that they can master it. But now, the understanding of zero has been found in a most unlikely candidate (候选人): bees.
    According to a recently published study in the journal Science, Australian and French researchers worked together to do experiments to prove that bees are the first insects (昆虫) to “understand that zero belongs at the lower end of a sequence (序列) of numbers”, according to a report by Science Daily.
    Scarlett Howard, a researcher at RMIT University in Melbourne, trained bees to choose from several cards with different numbers of shapes printed on them. Correctly choosing the card with the fewest shapes earned them a reward (回报) of sugar water. For example, the bees learned to choose three elements when given three versus four; or two elements when given two versus three. And then these bees were given a challenge—a card that was entirely plain and that they had never seen before. But 64 percent of the time, they chose to fly toward the plain card instead of the card that had shapes on it. This suggests that the insects understand that zero stands for something less than two or three, according to Science magazine.
    The researchers said that the findings have opened a door to new understandings of how different brains understand zero. “If bees can understand zero with a brain of less than a million neurons (神经元) (compared with the 86, 000 million neurons of a human brain), it suggests there are simple and useful ways to teach AI new tricks.”
12、What did the Australian and French researchers recently find?
A. Bees can tell different shapes.
B. Bees can understand the meaning of zero.
C. Bees arc better at numbers than monkeys and birds.
D. Most insects can be trained to understand numbers.
13、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the experiment.
B. The reason for the experiment.
C. The preparations for the experiment.
D. The result of the experiment.
14、Why is the study important?
A. It proves that animals can understand what zero is.
B. It explains the importance of zero in modem maths.
C. It suggests bees can complete more difficult tasks.
D. It shows there might be easier ways to train AI.
15、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bees: An insect can make sense of zero
B. A new way to train bees how to perform
C. AI: A robot can play tricks
D. A new finding of creating AI with a simple brain

32、答案：①inspiration②is regarded③how④philosophical⑤which/that⑥ourselves⑦to see⑧a⑨for⑩had got/got
解析：①考查名词。句意:泰山,一座高山,千百年来一直是诗人和思想家的灵感源泉。此处是of所有格结构,即“名词+of+名词”结构,所以此处应用名词inspiration(灵感),故填inspiration。
②考查时态和语态。句意:泰山在东边,在中国文化中,东方被视为神圣的方向,因为太阳和月亮从那里升起。分析句子结构可知,空处作谓语,且句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时, be regarded as是固定搭配,表示“被认为”,主语是east(东方),是第三人称单数,所以应用is regarded,故填is regarded.
③考查连词。句意:很多人喜欢登上泰山顶,不管旅途有多么富有挑战性。分析句子结构可知, "no matter _______ challenging the journey is."是状语从句,此处表示"无论怎样"应用no matter how来引导状语从句,即"no matter how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语(+宾语)",故填how.
④考查形容词。句意:他的话表达了一种哲学观点,你爬得越高,你的视野就越开阔。此处用形容词philosophical,作定语,修饰名词idea,表示"哲学的",故填philosophical.
⑤考查定语从句。句意:对我来说,我爬得越高,看到的台阶就越多,直到最后我到达了通往缆车站的台阶。分析句子结构可知, "led up to the cable car station."是限定性定语从句,先行词是steps(台阶),指物,在定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或that来引导定语从句,故填which或that。
⑥考查反身代词。句意:早上4点起床安置好自己,然后去看日出。句子主语是we(我们),空处作动词position(安置)的宾语,表示"我们自己",应用反身代词ourselves,故填ourselves.
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意:从玉皇大帝峰,我们有幸在数百人中,看到了清澈的日出。"sb. be+形容词+to do"是固定句型,表示"做某事让某人感觉……"所以此处应用to see,故填to see。
⑧考查冠词。句意:早餐后,我们沿着山下走了大约五个小时,穿过桃花谷,这是一次美好的散步, 我们穿过了松树和开花的桃树,路过了瀑布和水池。分析句子结构可知, "_____ beautiful walk through pine trees and flowering peach trees, waterfalls and pools of water."是名词短语作同位语,用来解释说明上文提到的"散步",此处指"一次美好的散步",所以应用不定冠词,且beautiful发音是以辅音音素开头的,应用a,故填a。
⑨考查介词。句意:山上的绿色植物造就了一次独特的攀登,第二天的山谷漫步对我来说是最精彩的,不仅仅是因为这里没有台阶。make for是固定搭配,表示"造就;促成", 故填for。
⑩考查时态。句意:那里很平静, 让我享受到了从上面看到的美景。分析句子结构可知, "I _____(get) from the top"是限定性定语从句,省略了关系代词that或which,空处作谓语,此处既可以表示刚刚看到的风景,用一般过去时got,也可以表示在"我"欣赏美景前已经看到了风景,此时应用过去完成时,had got,故填had got或got。
