Tips for Writing a Cover Letter
If you are applying for an internship, you will likely have to submit a cover letter as part of
your application. Read below for tips on writing an internship cover letter.
Use Business Letter Format
Use proper business letter format when sending a cover letter by mail. Include your contact
information at the top, the date, and the contact information for the employer. Be sure to provide
a proper salutation(问候), and sign your name at the bottom.
Individualize Your Cover Letter
3
Make sure to write a unique cover letter for each internship for which you apply. Highlight /
emphasize skills and abilities you have that relate to the specific internship listing. The main
emphasis of your cover letter should be convincing the reader that you will be a qualified intern.
Emphasize Your Academic Experience
In the letter, you can mention academic experience, if applicable. Especially if you have
limited work experience, you might use examples from school to demonstrate( 证明) that you
have particular skills. For example, if the internship requires you to work as part of a team,
provide an example of an assistant at the library or a successful team project you worked on
during one of your college courses.
Include Extra Classroom Experiences
You can also include details about your relevant experience from extra classroom activities
or volunteer work. For example, a reporter for a college newspaper can point to interviewing and
writing skills; a history of volunteering at a shelter can provide an example of strong
interpersonal and organizational skills.

My husband jokes with me that my midlife crisis was having my now 11-year-old daughter
in my 40s.
I started my career as Associate Editor at Woman’s World magazine in the late 1990s. Then I
was a magazine editor-in-chief for five national consumer publications and also contributed to
magazines like Longevity and New Woman.
Four years after getting married in 2005, I eventually gave birth to my daughter, Crystal. As
I wrote on Parenting.com: “As the doctor checked her vital organs and my husband counted her
10 perfect fingers and toes, I realized that my body had produced a wonder.”
4
While my peers were dealing with the stresses of kids in school, I focused my creative
energy on carving out my new identity. I was excited when I was offered a “Mom’s Talk”
column where I wrote about toys, breastfeeding, and my ongoing(追求) for “baby-free” time.
When Crystal was 3 years old, I wrote an essay about watching her dance at a toddler(学步
的 小 孩 ) reading group at the library, instead of sitting down with the other children. I expected
her performance to annoy people, but her joyful dancing attracted them and made me consider
my own possibilities.
“Had I ever been that way, I wondered. If so, could I be like that again? Could I become as
free as a child with her whole life ahead of her, ready and willing to be the star of her own
production?”
As my daughter transformed from a toddler into a young girl, she continued to be my
inspiration. I wrote about the new rules for babysitting and shared research showing that fathers
who participated in housework had a positive impact on their daughter’s future success on The
Washington Post.
I focused on providing Crystal with resilience-building(韧性) when she neared her teens. I
wrote about powerful phrases for The Week, like “no one is the judge of your self-worth”.
As my daughter continues to grow during this messy time, there is one certainty: I will
continue to tell my stories, through the eyes of my midlife wisdom. I can’t wait to see her next
chapter and for you to read mine.
24. How did the author feel when giving birth to her daughter?
A. Frightened. B. Pleased. C. Puzzled. D. Disappointed.
25. In terms of being a parent, the author differed from her peers in that .
A. she had to deal with more stress from being a mom
B. she left all the babysitting work to her husband
C. she combined the new identity with her career
D. she adopted a creative method of raising her baby
26. What did Crystal’s performance in the library make the author think about?
A. Living the same free life as her daughter’s. B. Giving performance in front of a crowd
C. Her previous life before having the baby. D. Pure pleasure during “baby-free” time.
27. Why does the author consider Crystal as her inspiration?
A. Crystal has inspired her to take a writing career.
B. She has started writing in the tone of Crystal.
C. Her writing keeps developing as Crystal grows.
D. Many of her stories are centered on her daughter.

Having a microchip implanted in a man's brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it
may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk -a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X- has been working on this technology.
On Aug 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named
Gertrude.
5
The chip, developed by Musk's company Neuralink, is the size of a coin. But don't let its
size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes（电极）attached to flexible threads, which
can monitor about 1,000 neurons （神经元）.It collects neural signals from an area of the brain,
and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers, according to MSN. That
enabled researchers to monitor Gertrude's brain activity while she was walking around in the
display.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This
technology would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essential for Al symbiosis( 共 存 关 系 ),
which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence.
When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have
mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and
eyesight issues.
Although such a device could repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means
a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig's
brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is tiny. And to cover the
whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.
Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the
immune system attacking this foreign body.
Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly
optimistic. "There are many technological challenges ... to overcome before Neuralink can put
its devices to the purposes," Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science
and Technology of China, told China Daily.
28. What do we know about Elon Musk's microchip?
A. It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots. B. It is able to collect wireless signals.
C It is tiny in size but powerful in function. D. It has been implanted into a human's brain,
29. What does the underlined word “that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The operation of the chip in Gertrude’s brain.
B. The attachment of electrodes to flexible threads.
C. The development of neurons inside Gertrude's brain.
D. The transmission of signals from a nearby computer
30. What is the major target of the microchip?
A. To monitor animals’ brain activity. B. To help people with mobility issues.
C. To develop a cure for immune system problems.
D. To contribute to the research on Al technologies.
31. How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain?
A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Optimistic. D. Challenged.
D
Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok. These
social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where
even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic
6
innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.
The median income ( 中 位 收 入 ) recorded in the United States of America was about
$63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand
partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month —
$360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and
keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video.
This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes
undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous
TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues
later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok
viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of
self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered
conventionally attractive.
While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this
content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need
to do to be successful is be conventionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new
dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn
affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthdays and family
holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?
Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc., had his own view on this issue.
“It sounds great that kids can make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second
video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great
if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can
be bad if it’s only online.”
Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill
and need a good laugh. I’m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what
does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?
32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Social networking. B. Making money on social media.
C. A job offered by TikTok. D. Staying connected to the Internet.
33. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?
A. They tend to live an adult life too soon. B. They are forced to pay for certain services.
C. They may abandon other social media. D. They are likely to develop false values.
34. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?
A. TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.
B. Young TikTokers should be banned from making money.
C. It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.
D. Contents of videos need checking before their release online.
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Say No to TikTok. B. Join Young TikTokers
7
C. TikTok — A Mine of Money D. A Job vs An Entertainment

In Boston, robots have displaced 41 and are creating complex bowls of food for
customers. In Prague, machines are 42 waiters and servers using an app. In Denver, they’re
taking orders. Robots are even making the perfect loaf of bread these days, taking charge of a(n)
43 that has remained in human hands for thousands of years.
Now comes Briggo, a company that has created a fully 44 , robotic coffee machine
that can push out 100 cups of coffee in a single hour -- equaling the 45 of three to four baristas
（咖啡师）, according to the company.
Using a mix of Latin American beans, the machine creates 46 cups of coffee that
can be ordered via an app, giving customers control over ingredients, flavorings and temperature
without any human interaction. The company says no other business in the world has applied as
much 47 to “specialty coffee.”
Removing the 48 element from ordering a cup of coffee is one of the company’s
primary selling points. “No more lines, no more counter confusion, no more misspelled names,”
Briggo’s website says.
Kevin Nater, Briggo’s president and chief executive, said the machine would best fit
locations in which 49 is highly valued, like airports and office buildings, where
several of the machines currently operate.
“Imagine you’re coming into the security line at the airport, your flight is coming up, and
you know that if you want a coffee you’re going to stand in a long line,” said Nater. “From the
security line, you can simply order your cup of coffee and pick it up at the coffee haus and make
it to your flight 50 .”
“I’ve never found anyone who wants to stand in line a long time,” he added. “We’ve just
changed the 51 .”
But Olive Geib, a 24-year-old barista in Annapolis, Md., remained 52 . As coffee is being
made by a barista, he said, subtly（细微地）adjusting the ratio of water to coffee bean asflavor
develops through refined taste tests, is a crucial part of the process. “All the numbers and data in
the world can’t actually tell you how the coffee 53 ,” Geib said.
Asked whether he was worried about losing his job to a robot, Gerb said, “absolutely not.”
He said there’s a 54 group of people who will always seek out the slower, interactive
experiences at coffee shops.
“A lot of customers really appreciate watching a barista carefully pouring water or steaming
the milk,” he added. “This 55 aspect, the atmosphere and the interaction with the
barista, is a big part of the experience of drinking coffee.”
41. A. waitresses B. baristas C. cooks D. machines

43. A. room B. art C. school D. oven
44. A. typical B. inaccessible C. challenging D. automatic

In modern society, many traditional Chinese festivals are becoming less and less popular.
However, they are important part of Chinese culture, and it’s our 56 (responsible)
to protect and maintain them. This article focuses on a festival that many people are not familiar
with --Hanshi Festival.
With a history of more than 2,600 years, Hanshi Festival is the only traditional one in China

allowed to eat cold food on this day. Hanshi normally 58 (fall) around April 3

In most parts of China, fires might start easily in the dry early spring due to the flammable
substances 59 (store) by people and the spring thunder. As a result, the ancients

year would be put out. Later, they would drill wood to get new fire for a new year. The gap

seven days according to different 62 (history) records.

As the Hanshi Festival is one to two days ahead of the Qingming Festival, they gradually
got combined with one another. After the Song Dynasty, cold food did not remain a necessity on
this day, and gradually, Qingming Festival took over the folk activities of Hanshi 65

Dear Classmates,
第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was walking down the muddy road one day when my cell phone rang. A child's voice on
the other end spoke to me softly, "Dad, please come hack soon. I miss you so much!”
Unconsciously, I knew it was a wrong number once again. I don’t have a single daughter. I just
have a six-year-old son. It is not unusual to receive this kind of calls nowadays, so I replied
rudely, "You've dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up in anger.
During the following days, I got the same call now and then. It disturbed me, so I either
rejected her or hung up right away rudely. I couldn’t help complaining about this, “What an
impolite girl! How can she call me up over and over again?” How 1 wished the little girl would
stop causing any trouble to me some day! Suddenly, the phone rang up again. It was from the
same girl- It seemed that she would not give up until she got an answer.
She constantly called me up. Even if I did not give her an answer, she still dialed my
number from time to time. Eventually I unwillingly answered the phone. 1 heard the weak voice
of that little girl, “Dad, please come back now. I miss you so much! Mom told me this was not a
wrong number. It is your cell phone number, right? Dad, I am in so much pain! Mom said you
were too busy to take care of me. She is tired out from looking after me. Dad, I know you are
busy. If you cannot come home, please kiss me again in the phone, OK?” The innocent request
11
was difficult to reject. I made a loud kiss into the phone and heard a weak voice saying, “Thank
you.... Dad, I am so... happy, so …happy

Dear classmates,
December 3, International Day of Persons with Disability, is around the comer. To show our
great concern about the disabled, the Students English Club will organize an activity with the theme
“What can we do for the disabled”.
On that day, we will visit some disabled people near our school, doing some work for them,
such as cleaning their houses and washing clothes. In the rest of the term, we'll make this kind of
activity a regular practice. Every one of us is welcome to have a disabled person as a partner, and we
will do our best to help them.
Looking forward to your participation.
The Students English Club
第二节:(One possible version)
Shortly after this, I became interested in who had been on the other end of my phone. When I
called the number back, a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to bother you. I did want to
call to apologize." From the woman, I learnt that the girl had bone cancer when she was born, and
unfortunately her father died in an accident weeks ago. The little girl suffered from unbearable
treatment every day. Feeling painful, she would cry for her dad who had always encouraged her, so
her mother gave her a random number. (80 words)
I couldn't wait to ask the woman how her daughter was. The woman thought for a while, saying
sadly, “She has gone. You must have kissed her on the phone, and she went with a smile as she
tightly held the cell phone with which she could hear her voice.." On hearing this, I couldn't keep
back my sad feeling, tears streaming down my cheeks. I didn't know what to say, so I slowly hang
up my phone, praying for her happiness and health in heaven. (75 words)
