The Picky Eater
Howie’s mother called him a picky eater. He would eat nothing much else but cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
One day, Howie’s mother told him, “Your father and I will have a meeting tomorrow evening. You can play at
Ashwin’s home and even stay for dinner.”
“What?” Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. “I mean, that’s great,” he added unwillingly. Howie
liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at Ashwin’s home!
“I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can’t eat sandwiches and
tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin’s home. It’s rude to say no when someone offers you
food,” his mother said.
The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin’s home and they played together for some time.
“Why do you keep checking the time?” Ashwin asked.
“I just wondered if it was time for dinner,” Howie said.
“Sure! Smell it! Yummy!” Ashwin said.
Dinner was ready. Howie dragged (拖) his feet as he walked to his seat. The food on the table was much more colorful
than his usual dinner. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach. How in the world could he eat this meal?
“Try it,” Ashwin’s mother said.
Howie wished he could say no, but he knew his mother expected him to try. He scooped up a tiny bit of rice and put it
in his mouth, “Wow, it’s delicious!”
After Howie went home, he told his mother the food he tried at Ashwin’s home was delicious! She was happy to know
Howie behaved so politely and was willing to try some new foods. She said, “Is it possible that my picky eater is gone
forever?”
“I think so!” Howie smiled.
24. What did Howie’s mom expect him to do at Ashwin’s home?
A. To have good manners.

Some apps highlight(凸显) when a person is online—and then share the
information with the followers. Researchers at the University of Washington say that
people could have more control over whether to show their online status(状态) in this
case.
To find out whether people realize the apps are sharing his information and whether these indicators(标识) change how
people behave online, the research team carried out a study among users of different apps.
The team asked participants if the apps they used showed their online status to their network. Almost 90% of the
participants correctly named at least one of the apps they used that had online status indicators. But for at least one app they
used, 62.5% answered “not sure” and 35.5% answered “no.” (Actually the app did.) The researchers also asked participants
whether they noticed when others were online, whether they thought others noticed when they were online, and whether
they had changed their own behavior because they did or didn’t want to appear online.
The answers show that many people misunderstand online status indicators but still carefully shape their behavior to
control how they are displayed to others. More than half of the participants reported that they had suspected(怀疑有) that
someone had noticed their status. Meanwhile, over half reported that they had logged on to an app just to check someone
else’s status. And 43% of the participants mentioned changing their settings or behavior because they were trying to avoid
one specific person.
“We see this repeated way of people changing their behavior to meet the demands of technology—as opposed to
technology adapting to us and meeting our needs,” said Lucy Simko, a UW doctoral student in the Allen School. That
means people are choosing go online not because they want to do something there but because it’s important that their status
indicator is projecting the right thing at the right time.
“Now, many people are working from home and socializing only online to fight the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情),
and some employees use their online status to indicate that they are working and available for meetings,” the team says. So
there’s an opportunity to think about how future development of this technology could change how people use online status
indicators.
27. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the purpose of the research B. the method used by the team
C. the findings of the research D. the suggestions given by the team
5
Jane2020
28. What can we learn from the research?




A. Some apps are updated to meet the needs of their users.
B. Some apps make money by selling their users’ information.
C. People usually have a clear picture of the apps they are using.
D. People sometimes go online to show they’re doing the right thing.
29. Which might be the best title for the passage?




A. Why We Should Protect Our Privacy Online
B. Why Online Apps Influence the Way We Think
C. How Online Status Indicators Shape Our Behavior
D. How We Could Make Full Use of Online Information
D
Your comfort zone is a place, activity, situation or psychological state in which you feel free from anxiety and things
are within your ability or control. But stepping out of it also has positive results.
When you break free and try new things, you’ll be more productive and get more unexpected changes. That’s because
by living outside your comfort zone when you choose to, you can experience uncertainty in a controlled, manageable
environment, which can prepare you for future life changes that force you out of it. Besides, as you step out of your comfort
zone, productive discomfort becomes more normal to you, and you’ll be willing to push further before your performance
falls off.
Here are some ways to break out of your comfort zone without going too far.
Do everyday things differently. Ride your bike instead of taking the bus to school. Try a different diet. Use a new
operating system. Don’t be upset if things don’t work out the way you planned.
Break the activity down into small steps. If you’re frightened or overwhelmed(难以承受的) by the challenge you’ve
picked for yourself, don’t do it at once. You can make it a multi-step process that will let you slowly climb that mountain.
Trust yourself and make snap decisions. Perhaps you are more comfortable weighing all of the possible choices
several times, but sometimes making a snap call is in order, just to get things moving. Doing so can help you kickstart your
personal projects and teach you to trust your judgment.
Yet, with all its possible benefits, you can’t live outside of your comfort zone all the time. You need to come back from
time to time to review your experiences. Take time to reflect on your experiences so you can apply the benefits you’ve got
to your day-to-day activities.
Your comfort zone is neither a good or a bad thing. It’s a natural state that most people trend towards(倾向于). Leaving
6
Jane2020
it means increased risk and anxiety, which can have positive and negative results, but don’t demonize(妖魔化) your comfort
zone as something holding you back. We all need that headspace where we’re least anxious and stressed so we can process
the benefits we get when we leave it.
30. The word “snap” in Paragraph 6 probably means “______”.
A. quick B. clear C. balanced D. thoughtful
31. Which might be the best example of breaking out of your comfort zone without going too far?



A. You went shopping when you were bored or upset.
B. You decided to watch a movie before the final exam.
C. You tried on all the shirts in a store to find the one you wanted.
D. You walked to school today although you prefer riding your bike.
32. The writer probably agrees that___________.




A. experiencing uncertainty in a controlled way has negative effects
B. making a change to our routine helps to increase our productivity
C. reducing stress and risk is what we need to bring out the best in us
D. breaking activities down into small steps leads to greater achievements

33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain the reasons to step out of the comfort zone.
B. To advise people to treat the comfort zone in a proper way.
C. To introduce some ways of improving day-to-day performance.
D. To stress the importance of dealing with uncomfortable moments.

Eating Together, Separately
Separate dining is common in the western culture, while in China’s dining culture, whether dining at home or eating
out, a grouped dining system is used in most situations.
However, the coronavirus pandemic has challenged the deep-rooted Chinese dining tradition of sharing dishes
together, which inspires the government, restaurants and citizens to rethink about eating customs.
Standards on individual(供一人用的) dining, serving chopsticks(公筷) and two pairs of chopsticks came out on March
18. Here are the main points.
·Individual diners’ food should be served to customers in separate tableware.
·Each shared dish should be served with a separate pair of serving chopsticks.
7
Jane2020
·Each diner should have two pairs of differently colored chopsticks. One is to get food from shared dishes to place
into individual bowls, and the other is for eating from individual bowls.
The above new standards aim to protect the public health in a scientific and practical way. Over 200 companies have
followed the guidelines. In order to encourage customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer parking coupons to
those who use serving chopsticks.
34. When did the standards on individual dining come out?
35. What is the aim of the new standards?
36. How do some restaurants encourage customers to use serving chopsticks?
37. Why is it not easy to change Chinese dining behavior?
38. According to the passage, what do you think of eating separately?

Dear Peter,

There’ll be a Chinese calligraphy exhibition in our school. I’m writing to invite you to attend the exhibition,
which will be held in the library at 3:00 pm this Friday.
At the exhibition, there will be various activities for you to learn about Chinese calligraphy, a treasure of

calligraphy. I’m sure you will have an amazing experience.
If there is anything more that I can help with, please let me know.
Yours,

题目2：
Life is about choices. Destiny is not a matter of chance but a matter of choice. I realized the truth of it
from one of my past experiences.
When I was in Grade 8, there was an important English competition. If I chose to attend it, I needed to
read piles of relevant materials, which would take up most of my leisure time. However, deep in my heart I
could feel my desire to challenge myself and broaden my horizons. After weighing all of pros and cons, I
finally decided to attend it. Once I made my choice, I buried myself in those books, reports and essays.
Although I met with so many difficult words and complicated knowledge, I never set back. Finally, I got two
prizes in the competition.
It proved to be a wise choice later. This experience has had a lasting influence on me. First of all, I have
realized that I am the master of my life who should be responsible for my choices and decisions. More
importantly, I came to understand success depends on determination and hard work. Only when I dare to
challenge myself could I have the courage to become a better person.
