While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems,
particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain(TPCGB), which was formed six months ago
to campaign(发起运动)for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and
restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant
tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average
height it says.
But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height
of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and
chairs has remained unchanged. “The bedding industry says a bed should be six
inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6'6"(6 feet and 6
inches) is falling short for 25％of men, while the standard 6'3" bed caters for (满足需
要) less than half of the male(男性)population," said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,
"Seven-foot beds would work fine."
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which
mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall
customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses’ Caledonian
Hotel in Edinburgh, 6'6" beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds
from taller visitors, particularly Americans.
( )24. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A. To provide better services
B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants
C. To attract more people to become its members
D. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall
( )25. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil
Heirtricy?
A .7 '2 ' ' B. 7 ' C. 6 '6 ' ' D. 6 '3 ' '
( )26. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A . They have to find easy chairs to match the tables
B. They may start businesses elsewhere
C .They may lose some customers
D .They have to provide enough space for the long—legged
( )27. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?
A . 6 '6 ' 'beds have taken the place of 6 ' 3 ' 'beds
B. Tall people pay more for larger beds
C. Special rooms are kept for Americans
D. Guest rooms are standardize
C
If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the
English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare,""Samuel Johnson," and
"Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t
even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to
two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a
Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the
same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a
mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke a
Celtic what we now call Anglo-Saxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this
state of affairs had based, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William
defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century,
French became the official language of English while Old English became the
language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from
French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a
distinction( 区 别 ) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its
words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on
whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact
that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were
doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more
"foreign than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems
much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English
language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all
the result of one man’s ambition.
( )28. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before
1066 were ____.
A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic D. Celtic and Old English
( )29. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?
A. president, bread, water B. president, lawyer, beef
C. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow
( )30. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their
first visit to Europe?
A. They know French better than German.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
( )31. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The history of Great Britain.
B. The similarity between English and French.
C. The French influences on the English language.
D. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D
Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the
company of pets can help lower blood pressure（血压）and raise chances of recovering
from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal
provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State
University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people — half
of them pet owners — while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic（算术）
or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a
close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal
friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline
heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when
doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more released（放松）around
pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your
spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and were put on a
diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 fat people without pets were put
on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body
weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of
their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs
but, say researchers, got more exercise overall — mostly with their dogs — and found
it worth doing.
( )32. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. People’s opinions of keeping pets. B. How pets help people calm down.
C. What pets bring to their owners. D. Pet’s value in medical research.
( )33. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of
getting well if ________.
A. he often dose mental arithmetic B. he is taken care of by his family
C. he has a pet companion D. he has less stress of work
( )34. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when
facing stressful tasks?
A. They have lower blood pressure. B. They become more patient.
C. They are in higher spirits. D. They are less nervous.
( )35. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that ____________.
A. people with dogs did more exercise.
B. dogs lost the same weight as people did.
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did.
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful.

Color is fundamental in home design – something you’ll always have in every
room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to
creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life?
Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 ,
color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help
designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But
good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about
color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.
38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets
that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your
walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with
them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables
or bookshelves. 39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and
they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors.
Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put
into it are significant. 40 .
A. Whatever you’re looking for
B. While all of them are useful
C. If you’re experimenting with a color
D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with
E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways

If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and
identify (识别) those of 61 (great) and less importance. Then, handle the
most important tasks first so you’ll feel a real sense of 62 (achieve). Leaving
the less important things until tomorrow 63 (be) often acceptable.
Most of us are more focused 64 our tasks in the morning than we are later
in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive 65 possible before
lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon
and go home feeling accomplished. Recent 66 (study) show that we are far
more productive at work if we take short breaks 67 (regular). Give your
body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 68 while, exercising, or dong
something you enjoy. If you find something you love doing outside of the office,
you’ll be less likely 69 (bring) your work home. It could be anything-gardening,
70 (cook), music, sports—but whatever it is, make sure it’s a relief from
daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an
accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I
called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be
worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not
sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying
Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do.

书面表达
Dear Leslie，
I’m glad to receive your email. You asked me to share with you what I did in
the epidemic situation. Here are my experiences.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan in December, 2019, I have
stayed at home. On the one hand, I paid close attention to the epidemic situation
through watching CCTV news or surfing the Internet; on the other hand I
insisted on studying. Not only did I read classics, but also I had online courses
given by my teachers. At the same time, I did my homework. Besides, I took
exercise every day to keep healthy. Faced with the disaster, many people
including doctors, nurses and scientists acted bravely and spared no effort to
fight against it. They are real heroes.
Thank you for your concern. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
