A New movies set holiday eve record Chinese moviegoers set a box office （票房）record for the eve of the week-long National Day holiday. By 9:30 p.m. September 30, new movies had brought in 630 million yuan. The major movies contributing to the box office record were My People, My Country, The Captain and The Climbers. My People, My Country ranked first by bringing in around 270 million yuan. It was made up of seven short stories which were set in historic moments to look back at New China's 70 years of existence. The movie was co-directed by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yibai, Guan Hu, Xue Xiaolu, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and Wen Muye. Another well-received film, The Captain, earned 194 million yuan to occupy second place. Starring actor Zhang Hanyu, the film is based on heroic Sichuan Airlines pilot Liu Chuanjian, who completed one of the most miraculous（奇迹的）emergency landings in China's civil aviation（民航）history. Also adapted from real events, The Climbers earned 157 million yuan. With an excellent cast including Zhang Ziyi and Wu Jing, the film is about Chinese mountaineers' climbing to the top of Mount Qomolangma. Wu Jing said the film filled a gap in the market, with sports-themed titles quite rare in the world's second-largest movie market. Besides the three movies, eight other films will be on during the holiday ending on Oct 7. 21. My People, My Country was directed by the following directors except . A. Zhang Yibai B. Zhang Yimou C.

B I always dreamed of studying abroad, to learn at a world-class university while further exploring the grounds on which these nations achieved new milestones of development with each passing day. To study abroad after my graduation, I could not stop seeking my dream. To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China. There were a number of reasons behind it - its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development. So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family. This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship (实习)which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization (CCG). It' s very exciting to work on their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made. 24. The writer writes the first paragraph mainly to . A. encourage people to pursue dreams B. summarize the main idea of the text C. explain the reason for writing the passage D. add some background information 25. What is the most important reason for the author coming to China? A. China's rich culture. B. His curiosity. C. China's advanced education system. D. His family's support. 26. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A. He is most proud of living in China. B. He wants to be a researcher in his own country in the future. C. He plans to work in China after graduation. D. He found a job upon arriving in Beijing. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Learning and Working in China B. Travel Experiences in China C. Realization of Dreams in China D. Importance of Having Dreams C Since App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing — choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired. Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon (优惠券) for one thing: There's so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose. It isn't consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy. So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services. Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers (用户) pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar — carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing. Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm (运算法则). But we've seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube. They feed you only what you've already said you like, not things you may not know you're into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward can't simply be more or better algorithms. Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from. As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less. 28. What will too much choice of content on the market result in? A. The shutdown of companies. B. Anxiety of consumers. C. Poor quality of products. D. Negative influence on economy. 29. Why is Disney planning to open its own streaming service? A. To improve its marketing strategy. B. To help people focus on less choice. C. To encourage more people to visit Disney. D. To provide consumers with various services 30. In what way may a wine club and digital content in the near future be similar? A. Someone else will be employed to make a choice for consumers. B. Both of them will offer only a few options. C. Consumers will refuse to choose from too many options. D. Both of them will make a change about their products. 31. What do we know about the algorithm? A. It manages to offer what consumers will possibly like. B. It helps to remove disturbing content from digital media. C. it offers consumers things based on what they've said they like. D. It'll solve the problem of having too much choice. D What's that one thing you really should do, but keep putting off? We all have them: time-consuming, or difficult chores we're afraid of and drag out until the last minute — if we complete them at all. But what if we could drive ourselves into those boring tasks by pairing them with something we really enjoy? Research suggests that combining the things we want to do, with the thing we should do, could be a nice trick to reach our goals. The method is known as "temptation bundling" and it allows you to combine two differing, but complementary activities at the same time. "I only let myself get a footbath when I'm doing some work," says Katherine Milkman, a professor of behavioral economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Another example? Going to your favorite restaurant but with a difficult colleague, or someone you're supposed to spend time with, such as a relative. In short, it's pairing something you like with something you don't like, offering you incentive to do something you might be putting off. Exercise is one activity routinely treated as a boring task — so Milkman used it in an experiment to know how temptation bundling works in reality. In her experiment. Milkman encouraged students to exercise while listening to addictive, page-turning audiobooks. One group, which could only access the audiobooks while at the gym, were 51% more likely to exercise than the control group, which were able to listen when they liked. Another group, whose access to the audiobooks was not restricted but who were merely encouraged to bundle the activities, were 29% more likely to exercise than the control group. The benefit of "temptation bundling" comes from doing two things at once that go well together, says Milkman. "The secret is to bundle tasks that require different effort. For instance, if one task requires focus or concentration, you want the other not to be too distracting — reading while listening to a podcast is very difficult, for example, while cooking and listening is more realistic." Milkman adds. 32. Temptation bundling can help us to______. A. avoid delaying what should be done in time. B. solve two problems at a time. C. put what we have learned into practice. D. improve our ability to face a chore. 33. The two percentages 51% and 29% in paragraph 6 show that_____. A. many people treat exercise as a boring task. B. most people consider listening to audiobooks a boring thing. C. combining two activities at the same time can contribute to each other. D. the control group do the worst in dealing with physical exercise. 34. Which of the following is true according to this passage? A. Cooking and listening can be combined because neither needs focus. B. Combining two differing, but complementary tasks is popular among us. C. Milkman's experiment shows that temptation bundling is effective. D. Temptation bundling is suitable for reading and listening to a podcast. 35. This passage is intended to tell us _____. A. what benefits pairing two tasks will bring us. B. how to get a boring task completed. C. what tasks can be paired with each other. D. how to identify the bad habit of putting off. 第二节（共5小题,每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To most Chinese people, the 2020 Lunar New Year has been quite different from any previous Spring Festival.

Yours, Li Hua |
