Jim Metzner has spent nearly five decades documenting and sharing the sounds of the world, from immersive portraits of American cities to unforgettable moments with people and wildlife in varied places.
Now more people will be able to hear more of the world through Metzner’s tape. The Library of Congress announced earlier this month that it has acquired the full body of his life’s work. The recordings include soundscapes of every description from around the world and interview s with scientists, artists and local people. Whereas many recordists focus entirely on a single subject—nature, music or science —Metzner’s recordings convey various human experiences accompanied by the vast range of sounds from the natural world.
Metzner’s career began with a moment of realization in the 1970s, when he first ventured onto the campus of UMass Amberst equipped with a stereo recorder, microphone and ear phones. Metzner recalled pushing the red button and hearing a lifelike symphony: a couple walking and talking nearby, a bicycle riding through gravel(砂砾), a bird flying overhead, bells in the distance. “And I was going like, ‘Wow, this is amazing. What an extraordinary coincidence!’” he recalled. “But it wasn’t a coincidence-this stuff was happening all the time, I just hadn’t been paying attention to it. And it was the microphone and the recorder that said, “Wake up …you live in a world of sound. Here it is.’ And it was, like, handing it to me on a plate.”
Metzner continued to focus on those moments over the years. Now in his 70s, Metzner isn’t hanging up his microphone quite yet. He tells NPR he’s grateful to the Library of Congress for preserving his life’s work, which he describes as a deep honor. But he also wants to make sure it’s actually being heard, not just “buried in an archive(档案室).”
He hopes more people will get to experience—and recognize the value —of soundscapes, which he describes as “part of our natural heritage” and “the touchstones to our feelings.”
“You can go to a museum and see Diane Arbus’ photographs. You can see Rene Magritte’s paintings,” he adds. “Why not soundscapes ”
4.What is special about Metzner’s recordings
A.They describe the interview s with local people.
B.They convey sounds from human activities and the nature.
C.They display sounds on different subjects at the same time.
D.They focus entirely on a single subject.
5.What inspired Metzner to take up the recording career
A.A symphony he heard on the campus of UMass Amherst.
B.A sound -rich moment on the campus of UMass Amherst.
C.A realization that he was well equipped with recording devices.
D.A coincidence that he happened to be waken up by the recorder.
6.What does Metzner care most about his life’s work
A.The Library of Congress has preserved it. B.It has recorded unforgettable moments.
C.It can become our natural heritage. D.More people can actually appreciate it.
7.Who t does Metzner probably mean in the last paragraph
A.Soundscapes are every bit as much of an art form.
B.More and more people choose to appreciate soundscapes.
C.Photographs and paintings are recognized as natural heritage.
D.The value of soundscapes deserves more recognition than others.
C
After Alexander Pushkin was shot in a duel(决斗)in 1837, crowds of mourners formed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagon(运货车)carrying the much loved poet’s body reached Pskov province, where he was to be buried, admirers tried to pull the vehicle themselves.
Today’s celebrity(名人)funerals tend to involve the public largely digitally rather than in person. But people are passionate all the same. In the past few months, grief has coursed around the Internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational.
Unlike other kinds of grief, this one is not rooted in personal intimacy(亲密关系). If you ever interacted with a cherished author, it was probably during a book tour when she signed your copy of her novel. Maybe you once locked eyes with a musician during a live concert and he smiled at you, but actually he did not even know you.
Objectively, sorrow makes sense when a star dies young or violently. Had she not died at 27, who knows what music Amy Winehouse would have added to her already impressive collections of work The death of a long-lived and fulfilled artist, however, is far from the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output. Why, then, are these losses felt so widely and keenly
One interpretation is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part of your past —the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally(盟友)—can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied.
More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default(默认)tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists.
8.Why does the author mention Milan Kundera and Michael Gambon in paragraph 2
A.To prove that celebrities’ funerals tend to attract wider public attention.
B.To illustrate why people express their sadness at the loss of those celebrities.
C.To demonstrate that people’s mourning for celebrities seems strange and unreasonable.
D.To show that people’s grief over celebrities’ death is ridiculous and impractical.
9.The underlined phrase “sink into oblivion” in paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A.are disappointed B.are desperate
C.are helpless D.are forgotten
10.What can we learn from the passage
A.People won’t mourn for celebrities unless they have intimate relationships with celebrities.
B.It’s natural that people mourn for celebrities dying young but not for those long-lived ones.
C.People feel sad for the passing of celebrities because of the mental nourishment received.
D.People attend celebrities’ funerals, either in person or on the Internet, to express their loyalty.
11.What’s the author’s attitude towards public mourning for the celebrities
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Skeptical. D.Concerned.
D
“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes(古董衫)have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers(零售商)want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash”—using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience(愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’
12.What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Unbelievable. B.Popular. C.Reasonable. D.Influential.
13.With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show ______.
A.old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B.the online second-hand markets are booming
C.the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D.many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
14.How does the second-band trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A.It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B.It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C.It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D.It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
15.Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A.Old items have lost favor with the public.
B.Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C.Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D.Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.

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。
We spend most of the year complaining that Britain is too cold and wet but gripe(抱怨)with just as much enthusiasm about the heat. Although moaning about the weather is satisfying, it’s better to take action and cool yourself down. You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃. 16
Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. 17 People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions)and those who work outside need extra protection in hot weather.
Research shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature and keep your organs working. It will also help reduce swelling in your ankles and feet.
18 However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and face, which will also be effective.
It is important to stay bydrated(补充水分)and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat. On average in very hot conditions we sweat 3-4 litres per hour and up to 10 litres a day, the same as 40 cups of tea. For a short amount of time, hot drinks noise your core body temperature. But it induces sweating, which then lowers your temperature. Cold and ice drinks do cool you down too. It’s thought hot drinks might be slightly more effective than cold. 19
Another way to be at the heat is wild swimming. 20 Slowly submerge(淹没)your body in the water, understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many people drown in hot weather.
A.But be aware of cold shock.
B.Some people are more fragile to heat.
C.You will definitely be il l with the icy drinks.
D.Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.
E.Heatwaves can leave you desperate to cool down.
F.This is when he at illness and deaths start increasing.
G.Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.

After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called,“Your own car.”Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn’t think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals(脚踏板)so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.
After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an capable person as my dad. We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn’t fall. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.

3.推理判断题。根据文章内容,结合第一段中“Fortunately, there are books that can help to make dealing with school easier.(幸运的是,有一些书可以帮助你更容易地应对学校)”可知,文章的目的是介绍一些有助于学生学习的书籍。故选A。
4.C 5.B 6.D 7.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Jim Metzner开始记录自然之声的经历,作品后被图书馆收录。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段的“The recordings include soundscapes of every description from around the world and interviews with scientists, artists and local people. Whereas many recordists focus entirely on a single subject—nature, music or science —Metzner’s recordings convey various human experiences accompanied by the vast range of sounds from the natural world.(这些录音包括来自世界各地的各种音景,以及对科学家、艺术家和当地人的采访。尽管许多唱片家只专注于单一的主题——自然、音乐或科学,但梅茨纳的唱片传达了各种各样的人类经历,并伴随着来自自然界的各种各样的声音。)“可知,Metzner 的录音的特别之处在于它们同时展示不同主题的声音。故选C。
5.细节理解题.根据第三段的“Metzner’s career began with a moment of realization in the 1970s, when he first ventured onto the campus of UMass Amherst equipped with a stereo recorder, microphone and car phones. Metznerre called pushing the red button and hearing a lifelike symphony: a couple walking and talking nearby, a bicycle riding through gravel, a bird flying overhead, bells in the distance.(Metzner的职业生涯始于20世纪70年代的一个顿悟时刻,当时他第一次带着立体声录音机、麦克风和耳机冒险来到马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的校园。Metznerre说,按下红色按钮,就能听到栩栩如生的交响乐:一对夫妇在附近散步聊天,一辆自行车穿过碎石,一只鸟从头顶飞过,远处传来铃声。)”可知,激发Metzner从事唱片事业的是在马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的校园里的一个充满声音的时刻,故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人们哀悼离世艺术界名流这一现象并分析其背后的原因。
8.推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past few months, grief has coursed around the internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational.(在过去的几个月里,米兰·昆德拉(Milan Kundera)和迈克尔·甘本(Michael Gambon)的悲痛传遍了互联网。如果你停下来想一想,这种对作家和演员的强烈感情的表达是奇怪的,甚至是非理性的)”可推知,作者在第2段提到了米兰·昆德拉和迈克尔·甘本是为了引出“人们对名人的哀悼似乎是奇怪和非理性的”这一观点。故选C项。
9.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output.(尽管大多数普通人sink into oblivion,这些名人却在他们的作品中活了下来)”中连词“while”可知,句中上下文是转折关系,与下文中“live on in their output”相对应,名人“在他们的作品中活了下来”,普通人“逐渐被人们遗忘”。故选D项。
10.细节理解题。根据第五段中“Part of your past—the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally(盟友)—can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplie.(你过去的一部分——在那些年,音乐家是你的配乐,作家是你的盟友——似乎会随着他们一起消逝。悲伤可以被看作是对他们所提供的平静与快乐的一种感激)”可知,人们对名人的去世感到悲伤,因为他们曾经从名人的作品中得到了精神上的滋养。故选C项。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default(默认)tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers.(更重要的是,一个艺术家的去世是一个交流思想的机会。在一个原子化的,默认的语气是批判的时代,一个深受爱戴的人的死亡是一个与其他崇拜者分享积极的感受和回忆的机会)”可知,作者认为名人的离世和公众悼念提供了交流思想的机会和分享积极的感受和回忆的机会,所以作者对悼念名人持支持的态度。故选A项。
12.A 13.8 14.A 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与从前反复使用衣服的模式不同,现在大家往往追逐快时尚,造成了很大浪费,不过网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展,但只有少部分人是真的认识到了自己的购物习惯对地球的影响,而且一些主流品牌有可能会借此机会来“洗绿”,很多人有可能会继续购买。文章指出,虽然追求风格无可厚非,但是学会欣赏旧衣服实际上是很有意义的。
12.词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“as he truced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly, cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric(他追溯了一件大衣在上个世纪的历程: 反复清洗、修理和转售; 赠为成更小件的;最终被回收制成新的织物)”可知,以前的衣服会被反复多次使用,再结合表示转折意义的“But”和划线词的下文“Thu average British customer buys four item s a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.(英国消费者平均每月购买四件商品。据报道,英国每年有35万吨用过但还能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋场)”可知,现在情况和以前不同,衣服更迭速度很快,很多衣服被浪费了。由此可知,以前衣服循环使用的模式在现在快时尚的时代是令人难以置信的,划线词意思应该与unbelievable“令人难以置信的”一致。故选A项。
13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes(古董衫)have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life.

57.A possible version
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved. As the wheels responded beautifully and smoothly, it was for the first time that I felt this sensation of freewheeling. Carefully steering the bicycle, my heart thumped as the bicycle was accelerating. Attempting to behave manly, I sat straight, pedaling and wondering whether and when I could handle the bike on my own. Minutes ticked by before it hit me that my dad would be worn out after following me for such a long distance. “Dad, you could let go if you are tired.” I yelled. No response!
I turned around and found my dad was not behind. My mind going blank, I was scared out of wits! I landed on the road and fell off the bike before I knew where the brakes were. Luckily, I only got some scratches on the knees and elbows. Minutes later, my dad caught up and congratulated me on my being manly for cycling 50 yards on my own. After a few more hours’ practice I learnt how to pedal, steer, turn and brake properly. A little frightening as the experience was, I felt the joy of learning to do something independently and grateful for the meaningful memory with my father.
