Who is the author of the passage? （这篇文章的作者是谁？）AJennyBJohnCHelenDAmyIn the west , some people believe that peoples character can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences ones character . In the past century, a new belief has come up, the idea that character is related to ones ABO blood type. People with blood type A , for example, are considered more likely to be serious ,hard working and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and out-going, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people doubt whether it is true.The blood-type character theory(理论)started in Japan in 1927, when Furukawa Takeji noticed character similarities and differences among persons.The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshiitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type character connection. Though most Asians might believe in it, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken seriously. It is also possible that people are easy to change their characters to match the blood-type theory. Is the belief true? In the 1980s, the scientists in Asia largely negated the belief as a superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and character. Generally, scientists are against making important decisions based on this theory.40 . What does the underlined word “predicted ” in the passage mean Chinese?A预测B提醒C预告41 .

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe blood-type character theory(理论)was started by a scientist named Toshiitaka Nomi.BAfter about 10 years,scientists in Asia proved the blood-type theory was wrong.CAfter some young Koreans took to the theory, 76 percent of Korean teenagers believed in it.44 . The best title for this passage should be _.AInformation about different blood types.BThe connection between blood-types and characters.CThe development of the character theory.阅读短文，根据短文内容选择所给问题的答案。Dear friends,My name is Tony.

Fill in the blanks with proper words.For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of us are what scientists call amusic. Those amusics are born without the ability to r54 . , repeat or remember musical notes（音调）. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are pretty different.As a result, songs sound like n 55 . to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their unfitness to enjoy music makes them away from others.It can be difficult for other people to get to know them. Actually, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be an amusic. Many amusics may not feel very c56 . when they go to a restaurant or a shopping mall. Sometimes they even feel painful. That is why many amusics usually stay away from places where there is music. “I used to h57 . parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only discovered that she was an amusic last month. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are f 58 . learning how to find this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who enjoy music.The difference isnt about defective hearing（听力障碍）.Many amusics are happy when their condition is found. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about the p 59 . with music. Now she knows that a large number of people are like her. There is a name for the condition. That makes it e 60 . for her to explain“When people invite me to a concert, I just sayNo thanks, Im amusic,”says Margaret.“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”五、材料作文61 . 假如你是李华，你收到外国朋友 Peter 的邮件，他想了解你校新冠疫情（Covid-19 epidemic）期间线上教学（online classes）情况。请你给他回复，内容包括：1. 课程与时间：线上教学已经持续快一个月；每天早上 8:30 开始上课，上午 3 节课，下午 3节课。2. 你的学习状态：一开始在家学习比较困难，但是在父母和老师的鼓励及支持下，慢慢习惯网上学习。3. 你对网课的看法及期待：.注意：100 词左右；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Peter,Im so glad to hear from you and know what you are doing these days.
