Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5, 000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote econ on growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen the primary color-for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality-of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown.”
24. Why was the Pintando Santa Catarina project started
A. Because of a workforce shortage. B. Due to the poor economic conditions.
C. Thanks to the increase in population. D. For the old-fashioned farming ways.
25 What is the project about
A. Building family art galleries in Guatemala. B. Creating job opportunities for local artists.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks. D. Changing the town into a cultural destination.
26. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project
A. The surrounding volcanoes. B. Mayan-styled butterflies.
C. A type of traditional clothing. D. The national bird of Guatemala.
27. What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project
A. Positive. B. Reserved. C. Concerned. D. Negative.
C
An American company has developed a new technique (技术) to make bread stay fresh for 60 days.
Scientists found that a kind of mould (霉菌) caused bread to go bad. The new technique kills the mould and keeps the food for longer time. This means there will be less waste of food in the world in future.
Food waste is a big problem in most developed countries. In the US, an average (普通的) family throws away 40% of the food they buy, which adds up to $165bn every year, about 330 million tons in weight. Bread takes a larger part. In the UK, 32% of the bread they buy is thrown away as waste when they can still be eaten.
The bread usually goes mouldy (发的) in around 10 days, but the American company says the new technique will keep the bread free from mould for two months.
”We treated a piece of bread in a special machine. At 60 days it had the same amount of mould as it was first made,“ says Mr. Stull, the leader of the company.
Although there are a lot of bread makers interested in the new technique, few customers like the idea. They say they don’t think a piece of bread which lasts for 60 days tastes good.
”We’ll have to make our customers accept the idea. But it will take some time,“ says Mr. Stull.
28. What is the key point of the new technique
A. It can prevent the world from wasting food.
B. It kills the mould and keeps bread fresh for longer time.
C. It keeps the same amount of mould.
D. It makes bread taste good.
29. How much of the bread is wasted in the UK
A. Nearly half. B. A quarter. C. More than half. D. About one-third.
30. What can we know from the passage
A. Food waste can be reduced immediately (立刻) with the new technique.
B. We will buy bread that can last longer.
C. Few customers are sure about the technique.
D. Poor countries are in great need of food.
31. What is mainly talked about in the passage
A. A new technique has been invented to keep bread fresh longer.
B. There is great waste of food in developed countries.
C. There is a kind of mould that causes food to go bad.
D. Customers don’t like food that lasts for two months.

Guy Noble, one of Australia’s most famous conductors, who conducted the touring concert “East Meets West”, said he’d like to learn more about Chinese music. “I’m impressed by the history and the beauty Chinese music has,” he’s said in an interview recently.
“East Meets West” concert tour in Australia was resumed this year after being postponed twice due to the pandemic. It was hosted in Canberra last Saturday, bringing audiences some well-known Chinese and Western pieces such as Jasmine Flower, Carmen, Romeo and Juliet, and The Yellow River.
While it was called “East Meets West”, music from China and the West with the same themes was brought together. Chinese singer Ya Fen and Australian singer Victoria Lambourn performed a duet (二重唱) Hope Betrayed, which was inspired by the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions. Noble said he loved the duet as it showed completely different singing styles: traditional Chinese opera style and Western opera style. “They’re not exactly the same, but they came together,” he said.
Having been a professional conductor for more than 20 years, Noble called music an international language. He noted that most music at the concert was about love, which was also an international language. He also spoke highly of some Chinese musicians, such as pianist Lang Lang who he thought has inspired many kids in China to learn music.
Noble admitted his knowledge of Chinese culture was limited. He said that conducting the Canberra concert was “an experience that I’ve enjoyed”, which made him more interested in discovering the background and history of the music, as well as the stories behind it. Noble is ready to create more things that can involve dance or calligraphy or some of the other aspects of Chinese culture, and put them together with music.
32 What does the underlined word “resumed” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Restarted. B. Expanded.
C. Paused. D. Concluded.
33. Why did Noble enjoy Hope Betrayed
A. Because it impressed him with its history.
B. Because it was inspired by a classic novel.
C. Because it showed two performing styles.
D. Because it was performed by an Australian.
34. What can we learn about Noble from the text
A. He is an amateur conductor.
B. He speaks highly of all Chinese musicians.
C. He has a wide knowledge of Chinese culture.
D. He intends to integrate more Chinese elements into music.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Guy Noble: A Famous Australian Conductor
B. An Australian’s Passion for Chinese Culture
C. Music: A Bridge to Understanding Each Other
D. The Cooperation Between Foreign Musicians

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5, 000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote econ on growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen the primary color-for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality-of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown.”
24. Why was the Pintando Santa Catarina project started
A. Because of a workforce shortage. B. Due to the poor economic conditions.
C. Thanks to the increase in population. D. For the old-fashioned farming ways.
25. What is the project about
A. Building family art galleries in Guatemala. B. Creating job opportunities for local artists.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks. D. Changing the town into a cultural destination.
26. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project

Guy Noble, one of Australia’s most famous conductors, who conducted the touring concert “East Meets West”, said he’d like to learn more about Chinese music. “I’m impressed by the history and the beauty Chinese music has,” he’s said in an interview recently.

He also spoke highly of some Chinese musicians, such as pianist Lang Lang who he thought has inspired many kids in China to learn music.
Noble admitted his knowledge of Chinese culture was limited. He said that conducting the Canberra concert was “an experience that I’ve enjoyed”, which made him more interested in discovering the background and history of the music, as well as the stories behind it. Noble is ready to create more things that can involve dance or calligraphy or some of the other aspects of Chinese culture, and put them together with music.
32. What does the underlined word “resumed” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Restarted. B. Expanded.
C. Paused. D. Concluded.
33. Why did Noble enjoy Hope Betrayed
A. Because it impressed him with its history.
B. Because it was inspired by a classic novel.
C. Because it showed two performing styles.
D. Because it was performed by an Australian.
34. What can we learn about Noble from the text
A. He is an amateur conductor.
B. He speaks highly of all Chinese musicians.
C. He has a wide knowledge of Chinese culture.
D. He intends to integrate more Chinese elements into music.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text

D. The Cooperation Between Foreign Musicians
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了澳大利亚著名指挥家Guy Noble对中国音乐非常推崇，他指挥了名为“东方遇见西方”的巡回音乐会，并希望自己能更多地了解中国文化，将它们与音乐结合起来。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“... after being postponed twice due to the pandemic.”（因新冠肺炎疫情而两次推迟）和该句后面的“It was hosted in Canberra last Saturday”（上周六在堪培拉举办）可推知，本句表示该巡回音乐会因为疫情而被推迟了两次后又重新举办了。由此可猜测，画线词resumed应该与restarted“重新开始”的含义相近。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中第三句“Noble said he loved the duet as it showed completely different singing styles: traditional Chinese opera style and Western opera style.”（Noble说他很喜欢这个二重唱，因为它展示了完全不同的演唱风格:中国传统歌剧风格和西方歌剧风格。）可知，Noble喜欢这首二重唱是因为它展现了中国传统戏曲风格和西方歌剧风格这两种完全不同的演唱风格。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中最后一句“Noble is ready to create more things that can involve dance or calligraphy or some of the other aspects of Chinese culture, and put them together with music.”（Noble准备创造更多的东西，包括舞蹈、书法或中国文化的其他方面，并将它们与音乐结合在一起。）可知，Noble想把更多的中国文化融入音乐之中。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Guy Noble, one of Australia’s most famous conductors, who conducted the touring concert “East Meets West”, said he’d like to learn more about Chinese music. “I’m impressed by the history and the beauty Chinese music has,” he’s said in an interview recently.”（Guy Noble是澳大利亚最著名的指挥家之一，他指挥了“东方遇见西方”巡回音乐会，他说他想更多地了解中国音乐。“中国音乐的历史和美给我留下了深刻的印象，”他在最近的一次采访中说。）可知，本文主要讲述澳大利亚著名指挥家Guy Noble对中国音乐十分推崇，他指挥了名为“东方遇见西方”的巡回音乐会，并希望自己能更多地了解中国文化。故文章最好的标题是“一个澳大利亚人对中国文化的热爱”。A、C、D三项均是文章的细节内容，不能概括文章的主要内容。故选B。
