Its also rarely something that one is born with. Our love of a certain activity comes from experiencing many kinds of things and finding things that not only bring us enjoyment but present us with a problem. We must present ourselves with an issue, one that we want to work towards solving each day.As mentioned above, passion is found once you become addicted to developing somethingeach day. It comes from a thirst to solve a problem. For me, my main passion came from a hunger to become consistent(一致的) with trading. I started trading and from many failures, while doing so, became consumed by my hunger to gain an understanding of the markets and how they work. This hunger is something that keeps me going through all my losses. Our passion in any field comes from: a desire to understand something; a desire to make that something better.Passion is something that we develop as time goes on. Youll have to go out and try new things(or stay in and try new things. The world works like that now). Youll have to open yourself up to new possibilities and embrace them without fear. This is how passion is developed through countless experiences and embracing the unknown, through a search for knowledge.Once that passion is developed, youll have to stoke the flames of the fire with consistency. Youll have to get up each and every day and tell yourself that you can and will do whatever you want to do. Passion is what you love to do, but you must stick with it and put your efforts to gain knowledge and expertise in that area.21. What can we know from paragraph 1?A. We often come across much passion.B. Passion is something we are born with.C. Experiences can make us like activities.D. Passion can let us face fewer problems.22. According to the author, passion will appear when _.A. we like something very much B. something is developed wellC. we have solved some problems D. we are thirsty and hungry23. What does the underlined part “stoke the flames of the fire” in the last paragraph mean?A. Put out the fire.B. Forget all the trouble.C. Work hard for the goal.D. Learn how to make fire.24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Make Use of Passion B. Find Your PassionC. Ways to Show Passion D. Steps to Gain PassionBChinas latest blockbuster, Dying to Survive, pulled off a rare achievement of box-office magic this week: It managed to earn $50 million before it even opened. The film soon became Chinas most widely discussed, critically praised movie in years, scoring a 9.7/10 rating on ticketing service Maoyan.So why did people like it so much?Produced by Chinese hit maker Ning Hao, Dying to Survive tells the story of a health supplements supplier, played by comedian Xu Zheng, who smuggles(走私) unapproved drugs from India to sell to leukemia(白血病) patients who cant afford the expensive official medicine.The film is based on the real-life story of Lu Yong, a trader who was diagnosed with leukemia and spent over $80,000 on official medicine before turning to smuggling a vastly cheaper alternative from India. He went on to save more than 1,000 lives by bringing the drug into China for other patients, before he was arrested and charged in 2020 with selling fake drugs.Hundreds of leukemia survivors Lu had helped then requested his release, and he was finally freed without punishment by a judge who praised Lu for the way he had never personally profited from the drug sales. A critic said, “If someone commits a crime in order to profit from it, they are simply a criminal. But if someone has to commit a crime in order to survive, society must take a look at itself and ask who the guilty ones really are.”Critics have praised Dying to Survive as a creative breakthrough for the Chinese film industry - a rare work of arousing social awareness from a film scene. Several preview screenings have ended in applause.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ning Hao is a Chinese hit maker.B. A newly-produced film received a wide praise.C. Xu Zheng is widely accepted by Chinese audience.D. A film based on a real-life story will be very popular.26. Why did people like the film so much?A. Because it is adapted from a real-life story of Lu Yong.B. Because it is produced by Ning Hao, a Chinese hit maker.C. Because it is moving and receives great praise from critics.D. Because it arouses social awareness about real life problems.27. From what the critic said in paragraph 5, we can conclude that _.A. Lu Yong should not be punished for what he had doneB. Lu Yong committed a crime by making a great profit from itC. society was guilty because Lu Yong got away with smugglingD. society didnt need to be responsible for what Lu Yong had doneCFive American teenagers were officially named the 2020 National Student Poets on Thursday at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The award is the highest honor for young poets in the United States. The new class of poets includes Alaxandra Contreras-Montesano, Heather Laurel Jensen, Darius Atefat-Peckham, Ariana Smith and Daniel Blokh. The students represent states from all over the country: Vermont, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Alabama.The teenagers were first chosen in August from among thousands of award-winning young poets in the United States.Virginia McEnery leads the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, which plays a part in choosing the national student poets. She says poetry is powerful because it is open to everyone. “Its so democratic, you dont need more than a pencil and a piece of paper. Its a really good access point for young people.” McEnery says she hopes the national student poet program will support the winners not only as writers, but as activists. “Many of the student poets have already held literary leadership positions,” McEnery said, “For many of them, they are already on the youth advisory council for their library or theyre running the literary magazine for their school or one of them is actually very involved in running the scholastic awards program for her state.”As national student poets, the five young people will give presentations, performances and training on poetry and literature. They will also promote the services of libraries and museums, and volunteer in their communities. In addition, each poet will receive a $5,000 academic award and the opportunity to learn from poet and teacher Glenis Redmond. And they will meet with Tracy K. Smith, the current poet laureate for the United States.McEnery says she has seen for herself how programs to support students creative expression can change young peoples lives.“Its such a hard time to be a teenager, social movements are happening in real time as they are coming of age. What better, smarter, saner thing can a young person do than try to write about it?”28. What can we know about the National Student Poets?A. Its mainly for Washington, D.C. students.B. Its the highest honor for American poets.C. The winners are from different places in the USA.D. Thousands of people have won the award this year.29. In McEnerys opinion, award-winning poets _.A. have got little supportB. should do more for their countryC. are hard to be accepted by AmericansD. have played a leading role in literary activities30. What will award-winning poets do?A. Teach people how to give performances.B. Do some work for museums and libraries.C. Look for volunteers for their communities.D. Try to change American young peoples lives.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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its often said that laughter is the best medicine. 31 Its because “shedding (流出) tears always makes us feel better in the stressful situation”, according to the Daily Mail. But how does crying have this power? A recent study in the journal Motivation and Emotion suggests that crying can release certain chemicals that lead to a better mood. For the study, 60 men and women were asked to watch a couple of sad movies. 32Of the participants, 28 cried during the films, while the other 32 didnt shed a tear. The researchers found both the criers and the non-criers were in a low mood while they watched the movies. 33 However, the 28 criers were reported to be in a better mood after crying. The research found that a high level of the chemical linked to stress was released in their tears. This suggests that when we cry, our bodies shed chemicals, reducing stress and leading to a feeling of greater well-being. 34 It is a natural pain-killer. The increased amount of endorphin(脑内啡) made the criers feel better. But does this mean that crying is always good for us?According to The Conversation, crying being good for people is a subjective question.35 However, if you cry often, you will become more sensitive, which will make you feel worse.A. If you havent cried in a long time, crying can comfort you.B. It seems that crying is a safe and effective way to deal with stress.C. When youre upset and stressed, you have an imbalance in the body.D. Also, more chemical endorphin was found in bodies of the crying participants.E. Afterwards, they were interviewed about how they felt before and after they saw the films.F. This was because the sad atmosphere caused their bodies to release more chemicals linked tostress.G. However, when we are feeling blue or stressed, many of us feel more like crying thanlaughing.第三部分：语言运用（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，从短文后各题所给的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。Writing can be a lonely life.

A dad 42 told me online hed heard me speak on the radio. It had convinced him that he hadnt been 43 enough time with his children. He went on to tell me how that had changed his 44 with his family.

I think that hard work is the key.One of the most critical factors is that it is only 57 working hard that we can realize our ambitions. For example, 58 majority of senior school students only have average intelligence, but we can get good grades so long as we spare no effort to seek 59(we) dreams. With hard work, we can be surprised by what we can achieve, and reach a higher level.Another key factor is that hard work builds up the mental strength which 60 (need) to overcome hardship. Steven Hawking became one of the most outstanding 61 (physicist) through willpower, not just natural ability. He was diagnosed with a serious disease, 62 meant he could only use three fingers. Instead of losing heart, he devoted all his energy to 63(study) the universe. 64 (obvious), the strong will formed by hard work helped him to achieve his extraordinary accomplishments.Taking these factors into 65 (consider), we may reasonably come to a conclusion that no one can be a huge success without lots of hard work.第四部分：写作 (共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作(满分15分)假设你是李华。你打算在周末观看英文电影，以提高自身英语水平。请给外教Kate写一封信，请她推荐一些合适的英文电影。内容包括：1. 写信目的;2. 电影要求;3. 表示感谢。注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_第二节：概要写作（满分25分）阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Kuakuaqun, social media chat groups that people pay a little money to join and are paid to show kindness, support and comfort to others in the group, have become popular with young people.
