Imperial Bricks
Imperial(皇家的) bricks were made completely for imperial buildings，especially palaces，in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Mainly made in Suzhou，the bricks were transported through the Grand Canal to Beijing.They have a fine quality，and are strong and hard.They have a pure blue-green color like a mirror and produce a metal sound when knocked.Given their high cost，they are properly called the golden bricks.The craft (工艺品) has been on the national-level intangible cultural heritage list since 2006.
Peking Duck
Peking duck has been a famous dish from Beijing since the imperial times，characterized by its delicious skin and meat.The cooked duck is cut into pieces and eaten with green onion，cucumber and sweet bean sauce，often with pancake rolled around fillings.It was selected as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Shadow Play
Shadow play(皮影) is an ancient form of storytelling that uses flat cut-out figures or shadow play between a source of light and a screen.Various sight effects can be achieved by moving both the dolls and the light source.It is popular in many places along the Grand Canal，including Hebei and Zhejiang.In 2011，Chinese shadow play was listed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Kunqu Opera
Kunqu opera，one of the oldest existing forms of Chinese opera，came from Kunshan of what is now Suzhou City in Jiangsu Province.Using emotional lines from poetry classics and through sweet and beautiful singing，it made progress in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River，and naturally reached other parts of the country via the Grand Canal.

There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights，sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors.But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city.An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko，an Israeli(以色列的) company，began to be tested in Tel Aviv.The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature，it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes.While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while，most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them，consuming too much water and power.After two years of development，the perfect solution to the problem was found.“We have invented a new generation of air conditioner，” Kinonko CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced，the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen(氮) and gas nitrogen.When liquid nitrogen at－196 degrees turns into gas，it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine.It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing.Beyond the coolness of the concept，it also has other advantages.The work unit doesn’t need to be power-driven，and doesn’t blow out harmful warm air as it works.As for the potential price，it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner.In addition，the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days，depending on usage.This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses.The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.
4．What does the underlined word “sweltering” mean in paragraph 1
A．Warm. B．Dry. C．Hot. D．Freezing.
5．What problem do the existing outdoor cooling systems have
A．They are wasteful. B．They overheat easily.
C．They often break down. D．They are slow to cool the air.
6．What does paragraph 3 mainly explain
A．What powers the engine. B．What turns liquid into gas.
C．How the pressure is formed. D．How the new system works.
7.What is the purpose of this text
A．To promote a company. B．To settle an energy crisis.
C．To introduce a technology. D．To market a misting system.

Cengiz Ozek sits at his desk in the poorly lit back office of his shadow theater near Taksim Square in central Istanbul.The theater is one of the last in operation in the city.He holds a piece of camel leather，a sheet of paper with some drawings on it，and a small cutter.In front of him are a few bottles of paints that he will use to create jointed puppets(皮影人偶)．Ozek，one of the most influential contemporary Turkish puppeteers，hopes to appeal to a younger audience and boost the culture of Turkish shadow theater.
“There might be around 50 people，more or less，who do shadow theater in Turkey today，but only five or six of them are real professionals who are completely devoted to it，” says Ozek while he works on a figure of Karagoz，the most famous figure in Turkish shadow theater—so famous is the character that the art itself is often called Karagoz.
To date，scholars have not been able to determine where this type of theater began to exist.Suggestions range from China to Central Asia，and from India to Byzantine Greece.Some scholars have focused on Bursa，the first capital city of the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国)，and believe that the two main characters，Hacivat and Karagoz，were real people who lived in that city at the time.The two men were construction workers who often told jokes to amuse their co-workers，resulting in delays in the completion of their work.In the end，they were sentenced to death.However，the people of Bursa missed them so much that they began to tell their stories in the form of puppetry.
Ozek wants to open a Karagoz museum in his city in order to keep this art alive.He’s also developing new characters to catch the attention of children.“We first try to attract them with modern characters that they know，and while they’re watching，suddenly we bring out Karagoz，” Ozek says.“We introduce him to them once again.When they watch it，they are satisfied，and we are happy as well.And like that，Karagoz survives in a way.”
8．What is Ozek doing according to paragraph 1
A．He is making some puppets. B．He is watching a puppet show.
C．He is taking a rest in his office. D．He is performing for his audience.
9．What can be learned about Turkish shadow theater
A．It came to Turkey from India directly.
B．It first appeared at a construction site.
C．It is now on the path to decline.
D．It is usually known as Hacivat.
10．What is stressed in the third paragraph
A．The influence of shadow theater.
B．The origin of puppetry in Turkey.
C．The history of Bursa as a capital city.
D．The punishment in the Ottoman Empire.
11．Why does Ozek want to open a Karagoz museum
A．To breathe some life into his city. B．To achieve his childhood dream.
C．To display puppeteers’ works. D．To carry shadow theater on.

What is heritage The word can be difficult to define.Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. 1 It can also be the customs，traditions，and values shared by groups of people.One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups.These are the tangible(有形的)，the natural，and the intangible.
2 It can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value.Some examples are national monuments and works of art.Many ancient sites are also part of this group.On a smaller scale，a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage.This can include bodies of water，plant life，landforms and more.One example is the Nile River. 3 Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch.Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance，like Flamenco dancing.You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands.These are all examples of intangible heritage. 4
Exploring your own heritage can be fun.It can help you learn about yourself，your family，and your ancestors.But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. 5 It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A．They are treasures that can be touched.
B．What tangible items can be part of heritage
C．However，heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
D．Languages，holidays and customs also make the list.
E．Therefore，it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F．Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G．It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries.必修第二册　Unit 2　Wildlife Protection

The first time a tortoise walked through my hut at Middle Camp on Aldabra Atoll，I was amazed.I grabbed my camera and carefully positioned myself to take this wildlife encounter.The second time：same thing.The third time：I picked up my phone and took a snapshot.By the fourth or fifth time，I didn’t even look when I felt something bump into me.I knew what it was.
I was there to shoot a story about island restoration in the Seychelles，far off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.Until roughly the middle of the past century，the small island nation showed signs of real environmental killing—local vegetation(植被) cleared to make way for coconut plantations，foreign rats and mice running uncontrolled，native sea turtles and giant tortoises being exploited.Biodiversity seemed destroyed.But then the country experienced a shift in conservation awareness—and the giant Aldabra tortoises are among its most visible signs.
Every morning when I woke up and walked outside the hut，I had to remind myself that I hadn’t traveled back in time.I could see flightless Aldabra rails，coconut crabs the size of dinner plates，and giant tortoises—roughly four feet long and weighing up to 550 pounds—just wandering around.The number of sharks in the bay was crazy.Frigate birds and boobies (鲣鸟) nested in the mangroves(a kind of tree)．When we left our hut doors open，which we often did to let in air，the tortoises would walk right through.
In the late afternoon or early evening，whenever they’d finished eating，the tortoises would drop themselves down and fall asleep with their heads outstretched.That made night-time trips to the outhouse dangerous.To get there，we’d have to go 200 feet into the mangroves，negotiating what I called the tortoise slalom trail.It was a track without a pattern，because of course they picked different places to sleep every night.Avoiding them was important：Falling headfirst over a tortoise onto the sharp coral rock could lead to serious injury on an island far from medical facilities.
Nothing was easy on Aldabra，and much of it was insanely difficult.Yet living among the tortoises in this primordial place，in one of the last spots where reptiles still rule，was one of the happiest times of my life.
1．How did the author feel about his final meeting with the tortoise in his room
A．Calm. B．Excited. C．Concerned. D．Disturbed.
2．What made the wildlife on the island suffer during the last century
A．Introducing foreign species. B．Killing too many rats and mice.
C．Planting lots of coconut trees. D．Repairing the building on the island.
3．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A．To stress the importance of their work.
B．To introduce how large the tortoises are.
C．To present his daily routine on the island.
D．To show how the wildlife is diverse on the island.
4．What might be the suitable title for this passage
A．Island Fills with Curious Tourists
B．Aldabra Calls for Wildlife Protection
C．Tortoises Rule on This Isolated Island Again
D．Efforts Are Made to Protect the Environment

Grizzly bears，which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg，occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere(敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams.Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see，and their answer is often the same：a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range，” says bear biologist Chris Servheen.As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more，they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The Western half of the US was full of grizzlies when Europeans came，with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans.By the early 1970s，after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers,600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.In 1975，grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today，there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US.Their recovery has been so successful that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies，which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.For now，grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously，if precautions(预防) aren’t taken，grizzlies can become troublesome，sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food.If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites，grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.“Our hope is to have a clean，attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，” says James Jonkel，longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
5．How do Americans look at grizzlies
A．They cause mixed feelings in people.
B．They should be kept in national parks.
C．They are of high scientific value.
D．They are a symbol of American culture.
6．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population
A．The European settlers’ behavior. B．The expansion of bears’ range.
C．The protection by law since 1975. D．The support of Native Americans.
7．What has stopped the US Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies
A．The opposition of conservation groups.
B．The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C．The voice of the biologists.
D．The local farmers’ advocates.
8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B．People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C．A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D．Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

As the world has changed，so has education.Since 2018，Nelly Cheboi and her nonprofit TechLit Africa have been bringing computer technology into schools in Kenya，helping students join the digital world，and unlock their potential.With its own software programs，curriculum(课程) and teacher training programs，this nonprofit hopes to change Africa.
In 2012，Cheboi received a scholarship to College in Illinois that changed her life.She grew up in poverty in rural Kenya，watching her mother struggle to support her family alone.Cheboi had no experience with computers before moving to the US to study.She handwrote papers and then struggled to type them out on a laptop computer.Somehow she fell in love with computer science and began a career in the field.But she did not lose sight of her origins.“As an undergraduate，I invested all of my income from various campus jobs into my community back in Kenya，” she said on the TechLit Africa website.But soon she wanted to do more for it and that is how TechLit Africa began.
Cheboi recalled how her background helped her understand how important technological knowledge could be for children living in poverty.She built a school with the idea of bringing computer science as part of kids’ curriculum growing up.But she found that it was going to be really hard to impact as many people as possible，because it was so hard to fund raise.Then in order to reach more students，she introduced computer training to existing schools.Cheboi physically dragged over 40 recycled computers that had been donated to them by various tech companies to Kenya in suitcases.
Now，since the nonprofit has grown，it works with various companies that help them clean the donated computers of data and send them to Africa.TechLit Africa runs its own curriculum with its own software programs in 10 Kenyan schools，and the hope is to increase to 100 throughout Africa by next year.The students love learning about computers，and in turn are gaining skills that will help them make use of their talents into a way out of poverty.
1．What has Cheboi been doing since 2018
A．Boosting her science career. B．Promoting digital education.
C．Starting a scholarship program. D．Updating the computer courses.
2．What inspired Cheboi to set up TechLit Africa
A．Her love for computer science.
B．Her desire to help her hometown.
C．Her dream of supporting her family.
D．Her childhood experience in the US.
3．What do we know about Cheboi from paragraph 3
A．She hopes to help more kids. B．She plans to build new schools.
C．She seeks to develop new courses. D．She calls for donations of computers.
4．Which of the following can best describe Cheboi
A．Sensitive. B．Considerate. C．Devoted. D．Cooperative.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate.Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem.As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it：“There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines.A computer works with symbols.Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols.But for humans, meaning is everything.When we communicate, we communicate meaning.What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads.The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.It is this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
5．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A．To explain the use of a software program.
B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
6．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Arguments. B．Doubts. C．Errors. D．Differences.
7．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A．Create rules. B．Comprehend meaning.
C．Talk fluently. D．Identify difficult words.
8．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

Feeling a hug from each other via the Internet may be a possibility in the near future.A research team led by City University of Hong Kong recently developed a wireless，soft e-skin that can both detect and deliver the sense of touch，and form a touch network allowing one-to-multiuser interaction.It offers great potential for improving the distance touch communication.
While there are numerous devices in the market to simulate(模拟) the sense of touch in the virtual world，they provide only touch sensing or touch response.The uniqueness of the novel e-skin is that it can perform self-sensing and touch reproducing functions on the same interface.
The e-skin is a 7cm×10cm,4.2mm-thick device containing 16 flexible actuators(驱动器)，a microcontroller unit，a Bluetooth module，and other electronics on a flexible circuit board.The actuator serves as the core part of the e-skin.Once the actuator is pressed and released by a force，a current is produced to provide electrical signals that are turned into digital signals by a converter(转换器) and then sent to another e-skin via Bluetooth.When the signals are received，a current is caused to reproduce the touch response on the receiver’s e-skin through mechanical vibration(振动)．The process can be reversed to deliver vibrations from the receiver’s e-skin to the corresponding actuator of the sender’s.
The e-skin can communicate with Bluetooth devices and send data through the Internet with smartphones and computers to perform long-distance touch，and to form a touch Internet of Things(IoT) system，where one-to-one and one-to-multiple touch delivery could be realized.Friends and family in different places could use it to “feel” each other.This form of touch overcomes the limitations of space and greatly reduces the sense of distance in human communication.
Next，the research team will focus on practical applications for people with visual disability，who could wear the e-skin to gain remote directional guidance and read Braille messages.
9．What is the unique feature of the e-skin
A．It provides hugs for users.
B．It builds a social network.
C．It provides touch sensing and copying.
D．It monitors the process of self-sensing.
10．What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Started. B．Disturbed. C．Completed. D．Exchanged.
11．What can we learn about e-skin
A．It strengthens bonds across distance.
B．Its converter vibrates when working.
C．It sends electrical signals to receivers.
D．Its system delivers touch with phones.
12．What would be the best title of the text
A．A Signal-sending Application B．An Invention for the Disabled
C．A Device for Virtual Interaction D．A Long-distance Communication

You may feel your backbreaking and low-paid part-time summer job isn’t worth your effort. 1 Here are some you can enjoy.
When landing a job，you’ll put yourself into unfamiliar territory and learn how to survive and develop there. 2 Whether it’s learning a new skill or dealing with a tough boss，you must rely on yourself for solutions，through which you can build up your self-belief.
Hanging around all summer is a great way to relax，but it won’t contribute to your time management skill. 3 This skill helps you decide what should be accomplished in a day and learn how to handle those things to make it happen，which involves prioritizing，planning and judging how much you can realistically finish.The best way to develop this skill is through practice.With loads of free time，you’ll likely not have to flex your time-management muscles.
4 Take it easy.Most people change their minds many times before settling on their long-term career.Getting out into the workforce as a waiter at a cafe may not help you see what it’ll be like as a doctor but you’ll figure out whether you like to work with people or whether you can work efficiently under pressure.A summer job helps zero in on your likes and dislikes to evaluate your strengths and resolve your weaknesses.
Chances are that your social circle is comprised of people in your age group.However，in a job，you’ll work with diverse groups of people，from whom you’ll learn varying viewpoints and experiences. 5
A．Working will，though.
B．But such jobs uplift willpower.
C．Not sure of your future profession
D．Does a summer job help with college
E．Actually，its added bonuses go beyond your wallet.
F．There’re various confidence-boosting challenges to overcome.

Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans，after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought.This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull，which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”，is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus(南方古猿非洲种)．It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and，based on evidence from its surroundings，was thought to be between 2.1 and 2.6 million years old.This puzzled scientists，because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans，the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived.For this reason，scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis，a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago，was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples，a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana，US，used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay.They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks，which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earth’s surface.Once rocks are buried，these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear；the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rocks (or bones) were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old.This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives，so that either group could have given rise to modern humans.However，team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years，at only 2,500 miles away，these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other.In other words，the groups could quite easily have met，had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
1．What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs
A．It is a skull found in East Africa.
B．It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C．It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D．It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
2．How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”？
A．By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B．By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C．By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D．By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
3．What can we infer from the new study
A．Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B．Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C．The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D．Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.
4．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．Historical Puzzle Unsolved
B．Ancestor Mystery Solved
C．Mrs Ples: The Earliest Human Being
D．Mrs Ples: A Famous Skull

A new study analyzing stone tools from southern China provides the earliest evidence of rice harvesting，dating to as early as 10,000 years ago.The researchers identified two methods of harvesting rice，which helped start rice domestication.
To harvest rice，some sort of tools would have been needed.“For quite a long time，one of the puzzles has been that harvesting tools have not been found in southern China from the early Neolithic period or New Stone Age (10,000－7,000 Before Present)—the time period when we know rice began to be domesticated，” says lead author Jiajing Wang，an assistant professor of anthropology at Dartmouth.
“However，when archaeologists(考古学家) were working at several early Neolithic sites in the Lower Yangtze River Valley，they found a lot of small pieces of stone，which had sharp edges that could have been used for harvesting plants.”
“Maybe some of those small stone pieces were rice harvesting tools，which is what our results show.”
In the Lower Yangtze River Valley，the two earliest Neolithic culture groups were the Shangshan and Kuahuqiao.
The researchers examined 52 flaked(成薄片的) stone tools from the Shangshan and Hehuashan sites，the latter of which was occupied by Shangshan and Kuahuqiao cultures.
To determine if the stone flakes were used for harvesting rice，the team conducted use-wear and phytolith residue(植物化石残渣) analyses.
For the use-wear analysis，micro-scratches on the tools’ surfaces were examined under a microscope.The results showed that 30 flakes have use-wear patterns similar to those produced by harvesting siliceous(silica-rich) plants，likely including rice.
Through the phytolith residue analysis，the researchers analyzed the microscopic residue left on the stone flakes known as “phytoliths”(silica skeletons of plants)．They found that 28 of the tools contained rice phytoliths.
“What’s interesting about rice phytoliths is that rice husk and leaves produce different kinds of phytolith，which enabled us to determine how the rice was harvested，” says Wang.
The findings from the use-wear and phytolith analyses illustrated that two types of rice harvesting methods were used—“finger-knife” and “sickle” techniques.Both methods are still used in southern China today.
5．What is the long-lasting puzzle about southern China
A．It has a history of 10,000 years.
B．It produces many harvesting tools.
C．Rice could hardly grow in that area.
D．Ancient rice harvesting hasn’t been proven there.
6．In what tone do the researchers talk about their findings
A．Certain. B．Careful. C．Critical. D．Correct.
7．On what basis was the use-wear analysis carried out
A．How the stones were used. B．Where the stones were found.
C．When the stones were used. D．Whether the tools were used.
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Asian countries are promoting harvesting methods.
B．Only two harvesting methods are still used in China.
C．Rice domestication existed in southern China long ago.
D．“Finger-knife” and “sickle” are very advanced techniques.

I missed the clear blue skies of home in Colorado over my grandparents’ farm.Some of my earliest memories were of sitting on my grandfather’s knee while he played his violin.When I was old enough，I went to college on a music scholarship.But when I came to New York City，I left my violin behind.
“As long as you’ve got music，you’ve got good company，Jane，” my grandfather always said.I didn’t have either in my life these days.Looking at the gray sky，I was wondering whether I could get auditions(试演)—to give a short performance to be in a film.
The winter sky was starting to turn purple when I heard something unexpected.An orchestra was practicing.I followed the sounds to the park and saw the musicians practicing.I approached the director during a break.“This is a community orchestra，” he said.“One you’re welcome to join.All you need is an instrument.” But I couldn’t afford to buy one and it wasn’t the kind of thing my parents could just ship from Colorado.
As I walked back with heavy steps，a sign made me stop short：Schumacher Violin Maker.From the window，I saw an old man wearing glasses adjusting the bridge on a violin.I stepped inside and told him my story.When I’d finished，he said，“So，you need a violin.” I nodded in embarrassment.He surveyed the rows of instruments and selected a violin with a bright color.“Take it，” he said.“Go and make your music.” I stood there，surprised，as he handed it to me.
Holding the violin，I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream.But it was real—as real as the strings I was touching.My heart pounding with excitement，I headed for the park.There was a chair in the orchestra waiting for me.Playing the violin，I immediately felt at home.I made a ton of friends there.Music had brought me good company，just as my grandfather had promised.
1．What might be the author’s dream job in New York City
A．An actress. B．An artist. C．A violinist. D．A composer.
2．How does the author express her mood at different times
A．By creating dialogues.
B．By recording emotional conflicts.
C．By citing her grandfather’s words.
D．By describing the colors of the sky.
3．Who did the author turn to for a violin
A．Her grandfather. B．Her parents.
C．The shopkeeper. D．The director.
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author
A．She woke up from her dream. B．She failed in her career attempts.
C．Her grandfather lived in her heart. D．Music gave her a sense of belonging.

There’s no tune，no lyrics and you can’t dance to it.Don’t let that put you off：white noise is the music industry’s next big thing.Streaming services have seen an explosion of tracks in the last year consisting entirely of recordings of rainfall，ocean waves and winds.
Some of the recordings have earned their creators millions of pounds.Record companies and tech firms have taken notice.Apple is including background noise in its next operating system，and TikTok has been promoting pink noise and brown noise—sounds with lower frequencies—as an aid to concentration for students at the start of the school year.
Noise fans say that studying，sleeping and meditation(冥想) are all enhanced by listening to these sounds at proper levels.The economics of music-streaming mean noise-makers can cash in.Someone falling asleep to White Noise Baby Sleep’s 90-second track Clean White Noise on repeat for seven hours will win up 280 plays.By last Friday it had been played 837 million times，worth an estimated $2.5m in royalties (版税)．The lead track on Spotify’s own Rain Sounds playlist，two minutes of rainfall，has more than 100m plays.
In contrast，Laura Mvula only has 541,000 Spotify streams for the title track of this year’s award-winning album，Pink Noise—not a slice of sleepiness but tuneful，lyrical dance-pop that took her three years to make.Spotify，Apple Music，and other streaming services pay royalties in roughly the same way.They set aside a total pot for royalties，which is then divided up between distributors，record labels，recording artists and songwriters.That means that Mvula will get a smaller slice of the Spotify pie than will White Noise Baby Sleep，although most of it goes to the major record companies.
It’s hard to work out who is making such noise.Spotify lists White Noise Baby Sleep’s songwriting credits as belonging to an Erik Eriksson.It’s not obvious who Eriksson is or whether he is part of a larger organization，but the Medium website One Zero last year established that many of the artists’ names are pseudonyms(假名) used by companies.
5．Which of the following best describes white noise
A．Tuneful. B．Confusing. C．Pricey. D．Profitable.
6．How does the author describe the popularity of white noise in paragraph 3
A．By presenting some statistics. B．By making classifications.
C．By making a comparison. D．By giving a definition.
7．What does the author want to show by mentioning Laura Mvula’s Pink Noise
A．White noise is more popular. B．Pink noise has gone out of date.
C．How Mvula gets paid. D．Who makes huge profits.
8．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Tips for attracting more white noise fans.
B．Challenges some companies are faced with.
C．Difficulty in identifying the copyright holders.
D．Ways to improve the qualities of credits.

Keeping a language alive can strengthen people’s sense of identity and most importantly lead to the preservation of a whole culture.This is probably why a group of Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album(唱片) exclusively in the Cherokee language，a highly endangered Native American language.Currently，there are fewer than 2,000 fluent speakers of the language remaining in the world，and the number is declining every year.
The album，tilted DooAP oaV and pronounced ‘Ah’ ‘Nuh’ ‘Duh’ ‘Nah’ ‘Lees’ ‘Gi’，means “Performers” in English.It is comprised of a range of contemporary styles，including Pop，Reggae，Country，Heavy Metal，Hip Hop，and Folk.With a planned release date of Labor Day weekend，the record company is using the platform of the National Cherokee Holiday to give this album as much exposure as possible.
Jeremy Charles，a key figure in getting this album off the ground，has said that “the music will shine a spotlight on Cherokee artists and speakers，and increase exposure of our culture and language worldwide”．He aims for the album to be an inspiration to the next generation of Cherokee language learners.Featuring 12 Cherokee artists ranging from ages 14 to 50，you can see how this album is going to do a lot for the promotion of Cherokee music and can inspire people of any age to make music that connects with their heritage(遗产)．
The youngest contributor on the album，Lillian Charles，is only in the 8th grade but had a major contribution to the Goth-pop song Circus—a song she wrote at the age of 12.It originally written in English，she worked with translators Bobbie Smith and Kathy Sierra to be able to fully express herself in Cherokee.
Projects like the DooAP oaV album bring a modern approach to revitalizing language and culture and encourage a younger audience to get involved and start learning the Cherokee language.On average，a native language is lost forever every two weeks，and these people want to make sure that the Cherokee language isn’t one of them.
9．What can we learn about the album from paragraph 2
A．It has various musical styles. B．It is titled Performers in English.
C．It sings high praise of Labor Day. D．It was exposed to the public by chance.
10．What’s Jeremy Charles’s expectation of the album
A．It will make a huge profit for the record company.
B．It can help the 12 artists rise to fame overnight.
C．It will satisfy the fans’ demand for pop music.
D．It can fuel the youth’s interest in Cherokee language.
11．Which can best replace the underlined word “revitalizing” in the last paragraph
A．Translating. B．Reviewing. C．Restoring. D．Creating.
12．What’s the best title of the text
A．Alarming! The Cherokee Language Is Dying
B．Amazing! An 8th Grader Is Releasing an Album
C．Bringing Music to Life with Modern Technology
D．Preserving a Language Through the Power of Music

We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights，ball-shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams.Seen from the foot of the mountain，the sky was gray and cloudy.In the distance stood the peak(山顶)，unclear. 1
On the mountainside，our clothing grew wet.The road was slippery and difficult to walk.It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace.We spent the night at a small hotel. 2 The road was more slippery than the day before，so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way，we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain.We sighed with disappointment. 3 And the sun set in the west，the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually，we arrived at the peak，with the sky filled with stars.Late in the night，we got awake by a shout.“Get up.Hurry up to see the lights！” We moved quickly，threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out.It was cold，making our bodies shake from head to foot.However，our hearts were filled with excitement. 4
Thousands of ball-shaped objects floated slowly in the distance，shining golden beams of light，as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns.The balls moved across the sky at the same speed. 5 They were light and delicate.Meanwhile，we all just froze there，speechless with wonder，appreciating the incredible views.
A．It seemed to rain soon.
B．We had to stop for a shelter.
C．Unexpectedly，the sky began to clear.
D．They were like goldfish swimming calmly in water.
E．The next morning，we continued our climb in the rain.
F．Just before our eyes，the mysterious phenomenon appeared.

1．C　[推理判断题。根据第一段的“The plants will be made into...Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.”和第二段的“Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve...and absorb storm damage.”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule收集杂草的事例可以说是一举两得。故选C。]
2．A　[细节理解题。根据第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour long tour of the mangroves.Food has also become a key attraction...”以及最后一段第一句“Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river.”可知，Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。]
3．C　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“She made her own version of the fritters，with chickpea flour，and presented it at the wild vegetable festival.”可知，Hule的炸果饼受欢迎是因为它们有自己的特色。故选C。]
4．B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段的“‘The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency...What more can we want？’ says Hule.”可推知，Hule对游客想得到她的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。]
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两个空间站的建设和运行构想。
5．D　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists.”可知，先锋号和旅行者号空间站的目标是使在太空大规模生活和工作成为可能。故选D。]
6．B　[细节理解题。根据第四段的“Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station.”可知，先锋号和旅行者号空间站的共同之处在于都有人造重力。故选B。]
7．D　[细节理解题。根据第四段的“The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place，Alatorre explains.”可知，重力就像一个旋转的桶把水锁在里面一样运行。故选D。]
8．B　[标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段以及第三段可知，文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两座计划作为太空旅店的空间站的建设和运行构想。所以B选项最适合作为文章标题。故选B。]
9．C　[词义猜测题。根据第二段开头的“The food that we have here on ISS has to meet many different requirements.What about variety？”以及后文中“the people that you come across，especially when they are from different cultures”可知，国际空间站中的宇航员拥有不同的文化背景，他们会有不同的习惯，这对别人而言有可能不寻常，因此可以推测，peculiarities的意思应是“不寻常的习惯”。故选C。]
10．A　[推理判断题。第三段第二句提到“To compensate the crews，we are allowed to pick one ‘preference’ container which consists of our pick of anything on the U．S.menu list.”，结合“One of the desirable options”可以得知，作者提到tortillas的用意是举例解释宇航员们的“preference container”。故选
