Chinese netizens have always been divided over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.Top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo Hyun recently earned a popularity rating of 24.8 percent in their country, considered strong by Nielsen Korea. You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.The two TV programs have several common elements: a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs portray the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Perhaps thats the secret of their success; perhaps people are still fascinated by Cinderella-type stories.The growing wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their search for a better life might have prompted (激起) many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV dramas portray. In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the markets demands.In contrast, Chinese TV screens are flooded by knock-off (山寨) or poorly made soap operas. There are too many Chinese TV dramas that are either of the stereotyped (刻板的) war theme or just blindly copy foreign programs. The lack of good stories has resulted in loads of TV series on time travel or fights in the harems (后宫) of Qing Dynasty emperors. These, in short, are the pain of Chinese TV productions.The shooting for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts (脚本) are just one-third ready. Many popular productions have their own websites, where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts, inviting viewers to leave messages, discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future events. This not only keeps viewers interest in the TV dramas alive, but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audiences demand.Hopefully, the innovation-induced (创新引导的) success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.27.The main point the author emphasizes in this passage is _.A. why Korean actors are more popular than Chinese actorsB. how the three Korean actors became famous around East AsiaC. what modern TV dramas need is not copying foreign programs but innovationD. the Cinderella-type stories are an ever-lasting theme people are fascinated with 28.Which of the following best explains peoples favor for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane? A. The celebrity effect is powerful. B. Drama stars are the best advertisements.C. Rich and handsome heroes in dramas usually love reading.D. A successful drama generally originates from a good novel.29.According to the passage, the secret to Korean TV dramas being successful is that _. A. drama stars must be tall, rich and handsome or beautiful B. scriptwriters should choose the appropriate themes for all viewers C. drama producers have creative ideas to adapt to viewers interest and demand D. peoples concerns such as wealth gap both in Korea and China are taken good care of30.What does the last paragraph imply? A. Abandoning copying foreign productions is the only way to attract viewers.B. The Chinese TV drama makers should follow in the footsteps of the Koreans.C. Its hard to predict what the future TV dramas in China and Korea will be like.D. A bright future of Chinese TV dramas can be expected prompted by the Koreans.DHacking our senses to boost learning powerSome schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores. “Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested peoples creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests its hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what youre hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound even listening to a Stephen King novel then you do better. It doesnt matter about the music,” he says.So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isnt the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.31.The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to _.A. create some sense of humour to please the readersB. provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadaysC. hold the readers attention and arouse their curiosity to go on readingD. declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions32.What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest? A. Peaceful music plays an active role in students learning. B. Not all noises have a negative impact on childrens performance.C. We should create for school children a more peaceful environment.D. Children with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.33.Ravi Mehtas experiment indicates that _. A. students creativity improves in a quiet environment B. we may play some Mozart music while students are learning C. a proper volume of background noises does improve creativity D. noise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling34.Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students learning and creativity, the authors attitude is _. A. ambiguousB. doubtfulC. negativeD. supportive35.Which of the following is most likely to follow up the research findings?A. Experts research into other senses that can improve students grades.B. More successful examples of boosting learning power by using music.C. Suggestions for pumping lots of pleasant smells into school campuses.D. Debates on whether noises can really have positive effect on students performance.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Flash Mob: The Pop Culture If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 36 Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate. A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 37 At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harpers Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2020 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2020 at Macys department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macys department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 38 Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. 39 They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.40 People use it to do many things. For example, in 2020, Michael Jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michaels famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory. A. Dont be confused by their name.B. People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.C. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.D. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place. E. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.F. The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.G. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Wallet Back This is a story about a learning experience that had a big effect on the way I live my lifeThe _41 _in the story did not give me tests or even grade me on my workI was taught by one of the most effective_ 42_ of teaching，one that only people with lots of love can do “My wallet!
