In Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp（竖琴）. A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses, each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound. Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear. They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations. Jamey Turner is 78 years old. Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores. He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube. He hopes the next generation will continue making its music.
24. What do visitors think of Jamey Turner's performance
A. Boring. B. Attractive. C. Special. D. Common.
25. How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses
A. By beating the glasses in different parts. B. By placing the glasses on a wooden board.
C. By adding or reducing water in the glasses. D. By holding different glasses with rubber bands.
26. What may be Jamey Turner's real worry about the glass harp
A. Little music is written for the instrument.
B. People are trying to play the instrument online.
C. Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D. The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
27. What is the best title for this text
A. Making Music by Playing Glasses B. Special Sounds from Glasses
C. Devotion to Playing Glasses for Fun D. Fingers over the Tops of the Glasses

In the northernmost edge of Colombia sits the coastal town of Acandí. Access to the town is only by water or air; there is no road that leads there. The residents there are faced with the struggles of balancing livelihoods while protecting biodiversity.
In the past, traditional community fishing methods, passed down by the elders, focused on the reasonable fishing and management of resources. However, the introduction of large-scale trawling vessels(拖网渔船) decades ago gradually depleted the area’s fishing resources, leading to damage to marine(海洋的) life seriously.
Jesús Antonio Julio Cuestas, who serves in the region’s conservation and management of marine resources, stresses the bad impact of these developments and calls for new fishing techniques. “Fishing and conservation co-exist as long as we have good management practices and reasonable use of our fishing resources,” says Cuestas. He and other officials actively monitor fishing activities in Acandí. Each morning, they visit the fish markets to gather data on fishery resources—including prices and sizes—to monitor the state of the local fishing industry.
Along with Cuestas, the fishers work to reduce their impact on the marine ecosystem. By changing fishing methods and adopting new practices, they aim for a more balanced approach to fishing. “This year the local fishermen have not used the trawl net s that were causing the death of the leatherback sea turtles,” explains Cuestas proudly. Changes include the efforts of boats to protect the seagrass that serves as feeding grounds for marine life and an end to fishers throwing net s where turtles lay their eggs.
This marine reserve in Acandí, Cuestas believes, is their greatest treasure. He attaches great importance to working together with local residents to improve the quality of life while preserving the marine ecosystem. By doing so, he imagines a picture where individuals from the fishing community can pursue various careers, such as engineers or lawyers, proudly stating that they are the products of the fishing tradition in Acandí.
28. What does the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Reused. B. Restored.
C. Explored. D. Reduced.
29. Why does Julio Cuestas call for new fishing techniques
A. To cut down on the costs of fishing.
B. To improve the income of local residents.
C. To promote the well-being of marine wildlife.
D. To spread traditional community fishing methods.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The aim of the changes to fishing methods.
B. The efforts to preserve marine ecosystem.
C. The results the trawl net s have brought about.
D. The impact of fishers on the local environment.
31. What is Julio Cuestas’s attitude towards Acandí’s future
A. Confident. B. Uncaring.
C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
D
An era in which an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can begin in a doctor’s office is now arriving. The new technology can detect early signs of disease from a blood sample, which is helping doctors to identify the memory-robbing disorder more accurately.
Last fall, a blood test developed by C2N Diagnostics in St. Louis, Mo. , became available to most of the U.S. as a routine lab test. It has also received a CE mark as a diagnostic medical device in the European Union — indicating it has met safety, health and environmental protection standards for the region.
The C2N test, called PrecivityAD, uses an analytic technique to detect specific types of B-amyloid, a protein fragment that is a pathological (病理学的) feature of disease. B-amyloid proteins accumulate and form plaques (斑块) visible on brain scans two decades before a patient notices memory problems. As plaques build up in the brain, levels of -amyloid decline in the surrounding fluid.
Such changes can be measured in spinal fluid (脊髓液) samples — and now in blood, where -amyloid concentrations are significantly lower. PrecivityAD is the first blood test for Alzheimer’s to be cleared for widespread use and one of a new generation of such assays that could enable early detection of the leading disease — perhaps decades before the onset of the first symptoms.
32. According to the passage, which can help doctors identify Alzheimer’s
A. hair. B. blood. C. skin. D. tongue.
13. What is the function of B-amyloid in the brain
A. To decline in the surrounding fluid. B. To form plaques visible on brain scans.
C. To accumulate and cause memory problems. D. To serve as a pathological feature of disease.
34. What does the underlined word “assays” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Tests. B. Trials. C. Treatments. D. Analysis.
35. What does the author think of the PrecivityAD
A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Pessimistic.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their moth- er was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.

66. Deng Xiaoping (1904—1997), born in Guangan, Sichuan province, was one of the greatest leaders and revolutionary pioneers of all time in China’s history. In 1978, with his leadership, the policy of reform and opening-up was established, which has a profound influence on China and other countries around the world.
The policy guided us Chinese people through tribulations to modern times. It has not only enormously boosted China’s economy, but freed our minds to create miracles on every aspect of our work and life. To put it bluntly, it is Deng’s contributions to China that has made China a great country once again.
If there is any chance that you can read his biography, you will understand our elder generations went all out to develop China. Therefore, as a new generation, we are supposed to inherit their traits and do our part to keep China moving ahead.
67.Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
