When I was in my early teens, I was a huge fan of a local band. I saw them play many times, bought plenty of their posters and records, and was excited when I met them after shows. But as they grew and received more attention from the industry, they started making changes to their music. The rough edges(小缺点)that made them stand out were smoothed over. There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.
I didn’t know much about the music industry at the time, but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk. Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.
My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness. When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express, they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual listener into a super fan.
This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.
24. How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style
A. He was upset. B. He was carefree.
C. He was hopeful of their success. D. He was confused about the reason.
25. What does the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Making up for. B. Getting rid of. C. Making use of. D. Getting used to.
26. What does the author think helps artists win super fans
A. Having great talent. B. Being true to themselves.
C. Writing songs people like. D. Communicating with listeners.
27. What might the author be now
A. A pop singer. B. A band director. C. An artist manager. D. An educational researcher.
C
Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.
Countries set up customs posts（海关关卡） at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas. Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1
A.To tell readers transportation and communication networks bring people together
B.To tell readers it’s important to prevent people from transporting and communicating
C.To tell readers people made it difficult for themselves to transport and communicate
D.To tell readers natural barriers mainly influenced transportation and communication
29. How is the 2nd paragraph mainly organized
A. By listing facts. B. By listing figures.
C. By following the order of time. D. By making contrast.
30. Which of the following may lead to people’s less communication between countries
A. People today have the ability to travel without any of the barriers.
B. The governments can’t reach agreement with each other on big issues.
C. Citizens of some countries aren’t good at exchanging news or ideas.
D. Countries require their citizens to keep all the information secret.
31. What can we learn from the passage
A. people can not remove the obstacles made by nature and themselves
B. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
C. with so many barriers, people can’t travel and exchange goods and ideas
D. natural barriers have always been difficult and dangerous to cross for us
D
Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence (EI), do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“It’s not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better achievement test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages.
As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with (与……重叠) the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to MacCann.
However, MacCann warns against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize (给……打上烙印) those students. Instead, she recommends effective measures that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing courses would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external specialists,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone — not just those with low EI—would benefit everyone.”
What surprised the researchers most during MacCann’s study
A. Intelligence mattered more than EI for academic success.
B. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages.
C. College students benefited more from EI than pupils.
D. Personality affected academic performance greatly.
33. What can be a reason for the conclusion of MacCann’s study
A. High-EI students hardly experience negative emotions.
B. High-EI students seldom develop social relationships.
C. High-EI students tend to easily focus on their study.
D. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects.
34. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph
A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills.
B. Designing tests to identify students with low EI.
C. Developing special programs for students with low EI.
D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Should EI be taught in school B. How can students develop high EI
C. Students with high EI do better in school D. Good students do better in managing emotions

Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test that day. I was confident that I would get a high mark. I left my house, and minutes later, I was sitting with my friends on the school bus. We were busy talking about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, a boy named Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) over someone's foot and THUMP! He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan picked himself up, dusted his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. It wasn't long before the lunch bell rang. I met my friends from the cheerleading team (啦啦队) in the dining hall.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard (庭院) to practice a cheer we would do at that night's football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I froze. I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.

Dear David,
Learning that you are to spend some time in China, I recommend you (should) stay in Beijing, the capital and cultural center of China.
The city enjoys a high reputation for its abundance of ancient architecture, which represents the traditional local lifestyles. And there are also plenty of museums where precious relics of historical interest are waiting for you to explore. Besides, the exceptional Peking Opera performances there are also what you can't miss.
I wish you a very happy and meaningful time in China!
Yours,
LiHua
续写范文：
Then I saw Ryan running towards me. Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and 1 laughed at him crazily. I thought he would join in with those laughing at me. I lowered my head, my face burning with embarrassment. However, Ryan didn't laugh. Instead, he approached me from behind, quickly took off his jacket and offered it to me, signaling to me to cover my torn jeans . Struggling against my tears, I did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. I left the courtyard in total silence.
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him for giving me his jacket and returned it to him. Gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct on the bus, and thanked him for helping me out of an equally embarrassing situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about it, joking he fell like that a lot. I admired his honesty and sense of humor, and realized that he was someone I could be great friends with.Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed!
