My     30     need for control had come from growing up with strict parents, coaches and expectations from my school and community. I     31     for control wherever I could get it. I overthought every move in soccer games, which made me less creative and     32     the team consequently. 
This experience made me     33     my struggle for control was     34     me. I learned that when I open myself up to others, I am free to earn this rare state of     35     which I can freely express myself.

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
At a time when translation technology is advancing so quickly, many people are now questioning the need for a second language.
But many speakers of foreign languages praise the benefits of learning an additional language. Three native English speakers tell the BBC why learning a second language is important and how it has changed their life.
Alex Chaffer: “It gave me the confidence to interview footballers.”
When I moved to Germany four years ago, I could only say “hello” and “thank you” in German. The first year I was here I didn’t learn a lot. I am now fluent in the language and work on a website that covers Germany’s top football league, Bundesliga (德甲联赛).
Learning German has opened doors for me professionally. I didn’t interview footballers for three years because I didn’t have the confidence in my speaking abilities, but now I can go up to any player. It has totally changed my way of living.
James Westgarth: “I gave my children the gift of a second language.”
My first introduction to a foreign language was at a comprehensive school where I learnt French. My parents had no language skills but they encouraged me so I could order food when we went on holidays.
The result is a 23-year international career. I am now a sourcing director at a subsidiary (子公司) of Lufthansa (德国汉莎航空公司). The success I have experienced in my career can be boiled down (归结于) to my language skills and the cultural awareness they have brought me.
My own two children, who attend an international school in Toulouse, are of course bilingual in French and English. Now they have a lot of international friends and they’re discovering the world through two sets of eyes. The gift of a second language is the best thing I can give to them.
Cassandra Scott: “Foreign languages did wonders for my English.”
I studied three languages in my final year at school: French, German and Russian. I am now a freelance (从事自由职业的) translator in Edinburgh. Learning languages at school really set the course for my career. Since studying translation, I have worked as an in-house translator and an assistant language teacher for English in Osaka, Japan.
Learning foreign languages also did wonders for my English. It gave me a new perspective (视角) on my own language and also gave me extra practice in identifying parts of speech, and later on, analyzing literature.
36. What does Alex Chaffer probably do according to the passage?
A. A football player. B. A football coach.
C. A sports commenter. D. A sports journalist.
37. We can learn from James Westgarth’s experience that __________.
A. he teaches his two children French by himself
B. he started to learn French after he joined Lufthansa
C. he has benefited a lot from his understanding of French culture
D. he was encouraged to learn French so that one day he could work abroad

38. What benefit did Cassandra Scott get from learning foreign language?
A. She is currently teaching English full-time in Japan.
B. Being a translator has been her dream since childhood.
C. Foreign language learning provided new ideas about language.
D. Foreign language learning helped Cassandra decide her career path.
39. The passage focuses on _________.
A. why we need to learn a foreign language
B. why we can see the world in a special way
C. why a foreign language makes you aware of a different culture
D. why a foreign language deepens the understanding of our culture
B
Hita Gupta used to volunteer at a nursing home, trying to brighten the days of the residents. Now she spreads sunshine far and wide.
As a 15-year-old sophomore (高二学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending goodie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large-print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states.
Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a GoFundMe page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones. “We’ve been able to reach so many seniors – who are among the loneliest people in our society – and let them know they are not alone,” Hita said.
Hita’s project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility’s director. “It’s impressive to see a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don’t think about seniors.”
Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn’t visit anymore because of the coronavirus outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help. She started the GoFundMe page, expanded the foundation’s website and began organizing volunteers from around the country to write cards or make videos for nursing home residents, who have been the most severely impacted by COVID-19. Hita also expanded her project to include the acquisition (收购) and distribution of smart devices to nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
“I’m very proud that Hita is able to bring smiles to so many seniors,” her mother, Swait, wrote in an email. Hita said her foundation’s name was a reflection of her determination to chase away doubt and depression for folks in need. “I thought of the sun,” Gupta said. “I thought of people in the dark, lonely, and how much I wanted to brighten their days and bring joy to them.”

Imagine taking to the skies, spreading your arms out and soaring (翱翔) through the clouds. Flying is indeed possible – in your dreams. But no one can control what happens in dreams, right? Wrong. 
Dreams in which you are aware that you are dreaming and can control what happens are called lucid dreams (清醒梦). These dreams are most common during the stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
Lucid dreaming has been referenced throughout history. It’s mentioned in Greek philosopher Aristotle’s writing, as well as in Egyptian hieroglyphics (象形文字) and in the oral traditions of Australian aborigines. However, it wasn’t until 1975 that British psychologist Keith Hearne was credited as the first person to produce scientific proof that lucid dreams occur. Since t
