The World’s Most Amazing Caves
Humans have been drawn to caves for thousands of years. Here are four of the world’s biggest caves.
Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
Son Doong Cave in the remote(偏远的)forests of Vietnam holds the title of the largest cave in the world. Son Doong is a spreading network of tunnels and caves, the largest of which could contain an entire New York City block with 40-story buildings. Parts of the cave’s top have fallen down，creating vast skylights that allow life to grow to a height of hundreds of feet beneath the forest floor.
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, the United States
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world, with 426 miles explored—and scientists guess another 600 miles have yet to be discovered based on measurements of air movement within the caves. Mammoth Cave has drawn visitors since the 1800s, and 10 miles of underground passages are accessible to tourists today.
Sac Actun. Mexico
The longest underwater cave system in the world, Sac Actun winds(蜿蜒)more than 215 miles under Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Adventurers can take a drop in the Sac Actun system through more than 248 cenotes(天然井)—the natural swimming pools that form when sinkholes connect the surface to the underwater caves.
Veryovkina Cave, Abkhazia, Georgia
Veryovkina Cave is the deepest cave in the world, spreading 1.4 miles beneath the surface. It takes professionals a week to make a round journey to Veryovkina Cave, They have to brave waterfalls, tight presses and sharp drops. But the payoff is excellent—Veryovkina
Cave’s end is a beautiful blue lake about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide surrounded by black black rocks.
1. What is special about Son Doong Cave
A. It lies far away from the forests. B. It has some tall plants growing.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, the United States中“Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world, with 426 miles explored—and scientists guess another 600 miles have yet to be discovered based on measurements of air movement within the caves.”（肯塔基州的猛犸洞是世界上最长的洞穴系统，已经被探索了426英里，科学家们根据洞穴内空气运动的测量推测还有600英里尚未被发现。）以及Sac Actun. Mexico中“The longest underwater cave system in the world, Sac Actun winds(蜿蜒)more than 215 miles under Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.”（萨克昆洞穴是世界上最长的水下洞穴系统，在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛下蜿蜒超过215英里。）可知，它们都有着长的洞穴系统。故选D项。
【3题详解】

Trainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to petitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.
To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.
4. Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
5. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
6. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Common B. Unreasonable C. Unique. D. Frequent.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.
C. The problems of kids’ playing sports.
D. The benefits of kids’ playing sports.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了体育运动对孩子的好处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。第二段第一句“To begin with, sports teach children life skills.(首先，体育运动教会孩子们生活技能。)”讲到体育运动让孩子们学到一些孩子生活技能， 后面一句通过举一位正式运动员的例子来说明这个观点，所以这里是为了举例。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中加利福尼亚大学研究人员的话“96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports.(96%的参与者说他们都喜欢体育运动。)”可知，研究人员发现大多数的参与者对体育运动持支持的态度。故选A。
【6题详解】
词义推测题。根据第一段最后一句中offer special opportunities的提示可知，这里distinctive 与前面的special相呼应，所以distinctive意为“独特的，特别的”，与C项“独特的”意思最接近。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“Competitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.(竞技体育对幼儿有好处，因为它们教会了孩子生活技能，有益于健康，并提供了特殊的机会。)”引出主题，即体育运动对孩子有许多好处，接着第二、三、四段具体介绍了体育运动的好处，并在最后一段“In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.(总之，竞技体育对孩子们有好处，因为它们可以提供有益健康的好处，创造新的体验，并培养终身的技能。)”对体育运动的好处进行总结，由此可推测出，本文主要介绍了体育运动对孩子的好处。故选D。
C
Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants-which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)- got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
8. What was the special part of the concert
A. It made the world fall in horror. B. It gave plants chances to enjoy music.
C. Its hall could only hold 2,292 seats. D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
9. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Eugeno Ampudia. B. Puccini. C. The UceLi Quartet. D. La Caixa.
10. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We did everything in a wrong way.
B. The plants should have the equal rights:
C. The healthcare workers were more important.
D. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
11. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Animals and Plants. D. Art Around the World.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴塞罗那歌剧院举行了一场特别的音乐会，观众是植物。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.(剧院的第一场音乐会拒绝了通常的人群，而是用植物把整个屋子装点得满满的。是的,这是正确的。Liceu剧院的2292个座位都被绿叶植物占据了。)”可知，这场音乐会的独特之处在于它的观众是植物，也就是它给了植物欣赏音乐的机会。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website.(这个想法是由概念艺术家Eugeno Ampudia提出的，并在剧院的网站上进行了现场直播。)”可知，这个想法是由Eugeno Ampudia提出的。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability(持续性).( Ampudia希望他的想法和工作能激发人们更深入地思考他们与自然的关系以及可持续性的概念。)”以及“he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”(他分享道。“我们生活的世界和90天前不一样了，这意味着我们必须反思我们所做的一切。”)”可知，他希望人们深入思考他们与自然的关系以及可持续发展的概念，并且必须反思自己所做的事情，也就意味着他认为人们以前在这个方面做得不好。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary(当代的)art collection.(这场动人的音乐会延续了Liceu的使命，创造了音乐和视觉艺术之间的对话。由Ampudia拍摄的表演图片和视频现在将成为La Caixa当代艺术收藏的一部分。)”可推断，这是和艺术相关的文章，能在杂志上的艺术版块上找到。故选D。
D
It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk. Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush (嘘)!” and went back to her seat.
Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it seems hard to explain. If you’re a baby boomer (婴儿潮出生的人) like me, you probably remember libraries as places of adults’ silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.
I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers. No shushing allowed!
Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers. These types of programs like board games, poetry reading and story times certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
But it’s a balancing act. Not all readers—or librarians—like the idea of a noisy library. It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”
12. How did the author think of the shush from a reader
A. Unexpectedly funny. B. Really annoying. C. Quite necessary. D. Very heartwarming.
13. What can be inferred about today’s libraries
A. They serve kids only. B. They become quieter.
C. They are less popular. D. They have different functions.
14. Why does the author quote Rachel Payne
A. To show different voices. B. To express the author’s idea.
C. To make the end interesting. D. To promote a new reading method.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Act in the Library B. It’s OK for a Library to Be Noisy
C. Why to Keep Silent in the Library D. It’s Necessary for Librarians to Change
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。本文通过描述在图书馆内发生的一个有趣的事件，探讨了现代图书馆变得喧闹的原因和重要性。作者认为，现代图书馆已经转变成了繁忙的社区中心，在与年轻读者连接时，噪音是新的常态。尽管如此，作者也指出应该保持平衡，考虑到不同读者的喜好。最后，作者赞同一个朋友的观点，认为在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn’t it be the other way around (我们震惊得哑口无言，努力忍住不笑。一群图书管理员被一个读者嘘了下来，这有多奇怪，这是多么奇怪啊!难道不应该反过来吗 )”可知，作者认为读者的嘘声出乎意料地有趣。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.(然而，如今的图书馆更像是繁忙的社区中心，在某种程度上，嘈杂是一种新常态，尤其是当孩子们参与其中的时候)”以及第四段“I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers.(我是一个吵闹的图书管理员。我的声音天生就比较大。作为一名儿童图书管理员，我主持了数百个项目，其中充满了唱歌、跳舞、运动练习，以及与一群孩子和他们的看护人一起愉快地读书)”可推知，今天的图书馆，作者主持了数百个项目，所以是有不同的功能。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There’s just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”(有太多乐趣和学习发生了。我由衷地同意我的朋友雷切尔·佩恩(Rachel Payne)的观点，她是布鲁克林公共图书馆(Brooklyn Public Library)的一名幼儿服务教育家，她告诉我:“当我参观图书馆时，它很安静，我总是感到有点悲伤。在图书馆里，人们可以交谈，桌子旁坐满了人，这是一件非常好的事情!”)”可知，作者引用蕾切尔·佩恩的话是为了表达自己的观点，认为在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，本文通过描述在图书馆内发生的一个有趣的事件，探讨了现代图书馆变得喧闹的原因和重要性，以及最后一段中“There’s just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”(有太多的乐趣和学习发生了。我由衷地同意我的朋友雷切尔·佩恩(Rachel Payne)的观点，她是布鲁克林公共图书馆(Brooklyn Public Library)的一名幼儿服务教育家，她告诉我:“当我参观图书馆时，它很安静，我总是感到有点悲伤。在图书馆里，人们可以交谈，桌子上坐满了人，这是一件非常好的事情!”)”可知，作者认为在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事，所以B项“It’s OK for a Library to Be Noisy(图书馆有噪音是可以接受的)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. ___16___ . Instead, space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a cup. Try to refill the cup while it’s still full, and you can’t add much more water. Allow time between study sessions, and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.
Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ___17___ “If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,” says Katherine Rawson.
Test yourself
Scientist Nebel suggests. “ ___18___ Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side of the card and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions.” she adds. “It will be of great help.”
___19___
It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. It’s taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another. ___20___ .
A. Dig deeper
B. Try your best
C. Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother
D. The same should go for learning
E. That larger network makes it easier to learn more and deeper
F. Create a pack of cards every time you learn new information
G. But research shows it’s a bad idea to force all your studying into that day
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四个改变学习习惯的方法。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. ”（威廉姆斯学院心理学家内特 · 科内尔认为，在大考前一天学习是个好主意。）根据空后instead可知，后文说明的是相反的想法，G选项“ 但是研究表明，把你所有的学习都强加到那一天是一个坏主意。”切题，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills.”（音乐家练习乐器，运动员练习运动技巧。）以及空后“If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,“ says Katherine Rawson.”（“如果你想记住信息，最好的办法就是练习,”凯瑟琳 · 罗森说。）可知，学习也要勤加练习，D项“学习也是一样。”空后是对前文的解释，符合题意，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side of the card and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions.”she adds. “It will be of great help.””（把问题放在卡片的一边，把答案放在卡片的另一边，试着像老师问问题那样自问自答。”她补充道。“这会有很大的帮助。”）讲述了在卡片的两边分别写上问题和答案对于学习是很有帮助意义的。所以空处应说明可以利用卡片学习新知识。选项F“每次你学到新信息的时候都要制作一副卡片。”符合题意，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据下文“It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. ”（如果你不进一步努力，就很难记住一连串的事实和数字。）可知，要记住一连串的事实和数字，就需要你进一步努力，选项A“深入挖掘。”选项中deeper与further形成对应，切题，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前一句“And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another.”（它在你的大脑中创造了一个更大的，相互关联的事物网络。）可知，空处应讲述更大的网络的作用。E项“那个更大的网络使学习更多更深入变得更容易。”选项中“That larger network ”的指代前一句中的“ a bigger network”，切题，故选E。

A girl went to her mother and told her mother about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots (锅) with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the water came to the boil. She placed carrots into the first pot. Then she placed eggs into the second pot. Finally, she placed ground coffee beans into the last pot. She let them boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She took the carrots, the eggs and the coffee out with a scoop and placed each of them in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, the mother asked, “Tell me, what do you see ” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked her to drink the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted it.
The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, Mom ” Her mother explained that these objects had faced the same adversity (逆境) —boiling water, but they reacted differently. The carrots had been hard. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, they softened and became weak. The eggs had been weak. Their thin outer shells had protected their liquid interior (内部). But after sitting through the boiling water, their inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you ” the mother asked her daughter.

【答案】参考范文：
The girl became silent and fell into thought. She asked herself, “When adversity knocks on my door, how do I respond Am I a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean ” She hesitated for a moment, and then had an answer in mind.

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
The World’s Most Amazing Caves
Humans have been drawn to caves for thousands of years. Here are four of the world’s biggest caves.
Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
Son Doong Cave in the remote(偏远的)forests of Vietnam holds the title of the largest cave in the world. Son Doong is a spreading network of tunnels and caves, the largest of which could contain an entire New York City block with 40-story buildings. Parts of the cave’s top have fallen down，creating vast skylights that allow life to grow to a height of hundreds of feet beneath the forest floor.
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, the United States
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world, with 426 miles explored—and scientists guess another 600 miles have yet to be discovered based on measurements of air movement within the caves. Mammoth Cave has drawn visitors since the 1800s, and 10 miles of underground passages are accessible to tourists today.
Sac Actun. Mexico
The longest underwater cave system in the world, Sac Actun winds(蜿蜒)more than 215 miles under Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Adventurers can take a drop in the Sac Actun system through more than 248 cenotes(天然井)—the natural swimming pools that form when sinkholes connect the surface to the underwater caves.
Veryovkina Cave, Abkhazia, Georgia
Veryovkina Cave is the deepest cave in the world, spreading 1.4 miles beneath the surface. It takes professionals a week to make a round journey to Veryovkina Cave, They have to brave waterfalls, tight presses and sharp drops. But the payoff is excellent—Veryovkina
Cave’s end is a beautiful blue lake about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide surrounded by black black rocks.
1. What is special about Son Doong Cave
A. It lies far away from the forests. B. It has some tall plants growing.

3. How long may professionals spend passing through Veryovkina Cave

Trainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to petitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.
To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.
Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a research group of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.
On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming. However, the time spent is not “robbing” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.
In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.
4. Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To show a reason B. To give an example.
C. To list a background. D. To draw out a new point.
5. What is the most participants’ attitude to sports
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
6. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Common B. Unreasonable C. Unique. D. Frequent.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The ways to play sports.
B. The reasons for playing sports.
C. The problems of kids’ playing sports.
D. The benefits of kids’ playing sports.

Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants-which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)- got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience — even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
8. What was the special part of the concert
A. It made the world fall in horror. B. It gave plants chances to enjoy music.
C. Its hall could only hold 2,292 seats. D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
9. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Eugeno Ampudia. B. Puccini. C. The UceLi Quartet. D. La Caixa.
10. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We did everything in a wrong way.
B. The plants should have the equal rights:
C. The healthcare workers were more important.
D. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
11. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Animals and Plants. D. Art Around the World.
D
It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk. Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush (嘘)!” and went back to her seat.
Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it seems hard to explain. If you’re a baby boomer (婴儿潮出生的人) like me, you probably remember libraries as places of adults’ silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.
I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers. No shushing allowed!
Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers. These types of programs like board games, poetry reading and story times certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
But it’s a balancing act. Not all readers—or librarians—like the idea of a noisy library. It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”
12. How did the author think of the shush from a reader
A. Unexpectedly funny. B. Really annoying. C. Quite necessary. D. Very heartwarming.
13. What can be inferred about today’s libraries
A. They serve kids only. B. They become quieter.
C. They are less popular. D. They have different functions.
14. Why does the author quote Rachel Payne
A. To show different voices. B. To express the author’s idea.
C. To make the end interesting. D. To promote a new reading method.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Act in the Library B. It’s OK for a Library to Be Noisy
C. Why to Keep Silent in the Library D. It’s Necessary for Librarians to Change

47. 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。
A girl went to her mother and told her mother about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots (锅) with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the water came to the boil. She placed carrots into the first pot. Then she placed eggs into the second pot. Finally, she placed ground coffee beans into the last pot. She let them boil without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She took the carrots, the eggs and the coffee out with a scoop and placed each of them in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, the mother asked, “Tell me, what do you see ” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked her to drink the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted it.
The daughter then asked, “What does it mean, Mom ” Her mother explained that these objects had faced the same adversity (逆境) —boiling water, but they reacted differently. The carrots had been hard. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, they softened and became weak. The eggs had been weak. Their thin outer shells had protected their liquid interior (内部). But after sitting through the boiling water, their inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you ” the mother asked her daughter.
