TikTok has many clever tips and tricks to make life a little easier. From creative advice to practical skills, there
is something for everyone on the video sharing App. Many of these methods have left viewers open-mouthed at their
simplicity or scratching their heads as to why they hadn9t thought of them first. But to save you some boring scrolling
(滚屏), we have made a list of the best TikTok life tips in 2021. Ready to be impressed?
Chop onions
第2页/共11页
Chopping onions is an emotional experience or, at least, it looks it. The vegetable can make us tear up, and salty
liquid flowing down your cheeks is never a stylish look. However, a woman created a makeshift protective gear out
of a hooded sweatshirt(连帽运动衫)and a pan cover. Next step, New York Fashion Week.
Clean car headlights
It is vital that your car’s headlights stay in good working order so as to keep you safe. If yours are fogged up,
just use a lemon and some baking soda. Many netizens have claimed that this method can save them some serious
cash.
Bathe your dog
If your dog hates having a bath, why not try peanut butter? While this one may seem ridiculous, one TikTok
video has shown it is effective. In the clip the pet can be seen licking it off the side of the tub, as the owner cleans his
fur. “I don’t even know I am having a bath. All I know is peanut butter,” the caption(字幕)reads.
21. What can we infer from the first TikTok life tip?
A. Chopping onions can make you upset.
B. You can find the protective gear in New York.
C. The makeshift protective gear is creative.
D. It’s stylish to have tears flowing down your cheeks.
22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The tips and tricks sound easy but are difficult to apply.
B. You can use a lemon and some baking soda to bathe your dog.
C. Cleaning car headlights with a lemon and some baking soda is economical.
D. The author finds bathing a dog with the help of peanut butter ridiculous.
23. What’s the authors purpose in writing this passage?
A. To analyze the reasons why people like TikTok.
B. To share some clever tips and tricks found on TikTok.
C. To come up with some practical suggestions on TikTok.
D. To call on people to share more tips and tricks on TikTok.

About a dozen women have gathered as their instructor guides them through the moves. “Backstroke!” Jean
Bailey directs from her chair, raising her arms high, as the women of Elk Ridge quickly begin arm rotations. Everyone
puts in top effort.
Bailey, who is 102, has been teaching them four times a week in the hallway of the second floor for about three
years. “When I get old, I’ll quit,” said Bailey. Some of her regulars have arthritis (关节炎) that limits their movements,
but they can do the stretching exercises comfortably and benefit from them, said Bailey, who herself often uses a
walker.
“After attending the class, we’ve gotten pretty close up there on our floor. One of us would do something for
anybody. We really keep track of each other,” Phyllis Black, 87, said. She lives down the hall from Bailey； if she
第3页/共11页
skips them, she feels stiff. “She’s a very nice neighbor, and she’s a good friend also. She’s very talented.”
When her children were young, Bailey became a florist (花匠)—a practice she still enjoys as a hobby. She buys
artificial flowers and makes bouquets (花束)for the clubhouse and some residents . Laura Stuart calls her the “queen
bee”. “She brings her expertise in floral arrangements and is always doing beautiful arrangements, Stuart said. “She
brings that to us, and it’s just a blessing that she’s still here with us to even do such a complex type of floral
arrangement.”
At Elk Ridge, residents can participate in fitness activities like a walking club, tai chi and working out in a
fitness room. But Bailey’s ladies seem to prefer her class because of her warm and fun personality, and the gentleness
of the stretches for people who have mobility challenges, says Sean Tran, operations
director at Elk Ridge. “More than anything, her general outlook on life... is just remarkable, he said about
Bailey. “She’s the nicest, most thoughtful, caring person that I probably ever met. Nothing is going to stop her,”
Tran said. “She’s going to keep going, no matter what. And others look at her and think: ‘ If she can do this at 102, I
can do this at my age, whatever it is.’”
24. What scene does the first paragraph describe?
A. A game practice. B. A dancing session.
C. A swimming training. D. A fitness class.
25. What is implied in Phyllis’s words about the learners?
A. They have deepened the women’s friendship.
B. Some women often skip the exercise classes.
C. Old women are gifted in exercise.
D. Some attendees feel stiff after the classes.
26. What does Laura think of Bailey?
A. She has a hobby of growing flowers.
B. She is expert at arranging flowers.
C. She is a good florist.
D. She sells man-made flowers to others.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bailey organizes various activities.
B. Bailey makes her attendees stretch gently.
C. Bailey inspires other people to exercise.
D. Bailey remarks on the life of others.

Supermarkets have long been suffering as one of the thinnest-margined businesses in existence and one of the
least-looked-forward-to places to work or visit. For more than a decade, they have been under attack from commerce
giants, blamed for making Americans fat, and accused of contributing to climate change.
第4页/共11页
Supermarkets can technically be defined as giants housing 15,000 to 60,000 different products. The
revolutionary idea of a self-service grocery, where people could hunt and gather food from aisles rather than asking
a clerk to fetch items from behind a counter, first came about in America. There is some debate about which was the
very first, but over the years a consensus has built around King Kullen Supermarket, founded in New York in 1930.
For some 300 years, Americans had fed themselves from small stores and public markets. Shopping for food
involved mud, noisy chickens, clouds of flies, nasty smells, bargaining, and getting short-changed. The supermarket
imitated the Fordist factory, with its emphasis on efficiency and standardization, and reimagined it as a place to buy
food. Supermarkets may not feel cutting-edge now, but they were a revolution in distribution at the time. They were
such strange marvels that, on her first official state visit to the United States in 1957, Queen Elizabeth II insisted on
an impromptu (即兴的)tour of a suburban-Maryland Giant Food.
The typical supermarket layout has barely changed over the past 90 years. Most stores open with flowers, fruit
and vegetables at the front as a breath of freshness to arouse our appetite. Meanwhile, they keep the milk, eggs, and
other daily basics all the way back so you’ll travel through as much of the store as possible, and be tempted along the
way.
In the early days, as the supermarket multiplied, so did our suspicion of it. We have long feared that this
“revolution in distribution” uses corporate black magic on our appetite. The book The Hidden Persuaders, published
in 1957, warned that supermarkets were putting women in a “hypnoidal trance (催眠恍惚状态)，” causing them to
wander aisles, bumping into boxes and “picking things off shelves at random.”
28. What problem have supermarkets been facing?
A. They are actually on the way to shutdown.
B. They have been losing customers and profits.
C. They are forced to use e-commerce strategies.
D. They have difficulty adapting to climate change.
29. What does the passage say about the idea of a self-service grocery?
A. It was put forward by King Kullen.
B. It originated in the United States.
C. It has been under constant debate.
D. It proves revolutionary even today.
30. What have people long feared about supermarkets?
A. They use tricky strategies to promote their business.
B. They are going to replace the local groceries entirely.
C. They apply corporate black magic to the goods on display.
D. They take advantage of the weaknesses of women shoppers.
D
We often think about relationships on a scale from positive to negative. We are drawn to loving family members,
第5页/共11页
caring classmates and supportive mentors. We do our best to avoid the cruel uncle, the playground bully and the jerk
boss.
But the most toxic relationships aren’t the purely negative ones. They be the ones that are a mix of positive and
negative. We often call them frenemies, supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you. But ifs
not just friends. It’s the in-laws who volunteer to watch your kids but belittle your parenting. The manager who
praises your work but denies you a promotion.
Everyone knows how relationships like that can tie your stomach into a knot. But groundbreaking research led
by the psychologists Bert Uchino and Julianne Holt-Lunstad shows that ambivalent (矛盾情绪的)relationships can
be damaging to your health—even more than purely negative relationships .
I had assumed that with a neighbor or a colleague, having some positive interactions was better than all negative
interactions. But being cheered on by the same person who cuts you down doesn’t reduce the bad feelings; it increases
them. And it’s not just in your head: It leaves a trace in your heart and your blood.
Even a single ambivalent interaction can cause harm. In one experiment, people gave impromptu speeches on
controversial topics in front of a friend who offered feedback. The researchers had randomly assigned the friend to
give ambivalent or negative comments. Receiving mixed feedback caused higher blood pressure than pure criticism.
“I would have gone about the topic differently, but you9re doing fine” proved to be more distressing than “I totally
disagree with everything you’ve said.”
The evidence that ambivalent relationships can be bad for us is strong, but the reasons can be harder to read—
just like the relationships themselves.
The most intuitive reason is that ambivalent relationships are unpredictable. With a clear enemy, you put up a
shield when you cross paths. With a frenemy, you never know whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is going to show up.
Feeling unsure can disrupt the body’s calming system and activate a fight-or-flight response. It’s unsettling to hope
for a hug while also preparing for a likely quarrel.
Another factor is that unpleasant interactions are more painful in an ambivalent relationship. It’s more upsetting
to be let down by people you like sometimes than by people you dislike all the time. When someone stabs you in the
back, it stings more if he’s been friendly to your face.
31. Which of the following can be counted as a frenemy?
A. Your neighbour’s kid who advises you to study hard but idles away his own time.
B. Your classmate who admires your diligence at first, but doubts your intelligence later.
C. Your mother’s friend who encourages you to spend more time on homework but less on smart phones.
D. Your fathers colleague who proposes you to do a moderate amount of homework while ensuring adequate sleep.
32. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. Ambivalent relationships have a permanent effect on your well-being.
B. The common cause for high blood pressure is ambivalent relationship.
C. Ambivalent interactions will be more painful if it is done consciously.
D. The negative impact of ambivalent interactions is direct and strong.

33. The underlined word “belittle” in paragraph 2 probably means___________.
A. devalue B. appreciate C. respect D. abuse
34. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Some Negative Relationships Are Bad for Your Health
B. Your Most Ambivalent Relationships Are the Most Toxic
C. The Reasons for Ambivalent Relationships Are Unpredictable
D. Some Positive Relationships Are Better than All Negative Ones

Customer service refers to the way that companies behave towards their customers. __35__ However, many a
time organizations don’t focus on customer relationship management, and that’s what makes customers angry, which
is one of the reasons why companies lose their customers. __36__
First of all, you need to realize the great value of the customers. It’s they who are the boss, and ifs because of
them that you get your pay checks. So do take your customers seriously.
__37__ You need to ask the customers the right kind of questions and think of the possible solutions which you
can provide. Understand how they feel according to a particular situation, their body language, tone of voice and
words they speak. Never make assumptions and think that you know what the customers want.
Making customers feel they are important is an excellent way to serve them better. __38__ The best way to do
that is using their first name and finding ways of praising them in a sincere way.

you finish solving the problem for the customers, before ending the call, always remember to ask if there is anything
else you can do for them. End the call with a “thank you”. If the customers are angry, let them express their anger
completely. __39__ Once they’ve finished speaking, try to calm them down by apologizing.
In a word, always remember that if the customers remain happy, you’ll be in business.
A. Treat customers as individuals.
B. Never interrupt or start speaking until they’ve finished.

D. So customer service is important and you should know how to improve it.
E. Finding out the needs of the customers is another important customer service tip.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Millions of people over the age of 65 have been diagnosed with depression, and many more could be suffering.
There are varied factors. Older people are much more likely to be alone, socially isolated or feel a general lack of
第7页/共11页
purpose. Sometimes older people have a much more difficult time admitting mental health issues.
Early memory loss often causes depression, which can in turn make memory loss worse. A patient with early
memory loss and depression really needs to be treated for the depression to slow the memory loss. A mood change
also can be a sign of depression. If a previously calm person becomes increasingly bad-tempered, or a previously
clean person no longer bothers to shower, that person should be judged again.
Older adults see depression as a weakness and tend to be annoyed by a diagnosis of depression. Therefore, don’t
tell people of an older generation that you think they may be depressed. Tell them you’re worried about their health.
Tell them they seem to be out of sorts, or seem tired, or unhappy. Say you just want to check with the doctor to see
what，s going on. Once you’ve used physical symptoms to get that person to agree to a check-up, mention your fears
to the doctor and allow the doctor to approach the subject of depression with the patient.
If a parent or an older loved one has been diagnosed with depression, the first thing people should do is be aware
that diagnosis is not easily treated. The initial treatment may not be effective. Therefore, patients and family members
should be prepared to try different ways of dealing with the depression. It’s also important to encourage patients to
stick with treatment—even if they start to feel better.
40. What factors might lead to older peopled depression besides early memory loss?
41. Why do patients with early memory loss and depression really need to be treated?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
People diagnosed with depression can reduce their treatment once they start to feel better.
43. What will you do if you notice that one beloved elderly uncle of yours is obviously depressed? Why?

One possible version:
Dear Chris,
Sorry to hear that you want to take a part-time job during the winter vacation but your parents
disagree. As a friend, I understand your situation and here are some suggestions.
First, have a talk with your parents and explain to them why you want to work. Maybe you want
to earn some money, or gain some work experience, or develop new skills. Whatever your reason,
make sure you express it clearly to your parents.
If your parents still disagree, offer to compromise. You could suggest working for a limited time,
so that you can still spend some time with your family and do your homework.
Besides, listen to your parents' concerns and try to address them. They might be worried about
your safety, your studies, or your health. You can promise to take care of yourself, keep up with your
studies, and follow their rules.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
