二、阅读理解
As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 — 1827)
Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and through the sale of his compositions. The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 — 1750)
Bach, “the father of Western music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and life was hard, so in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist (风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Eight years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frédéric Chopin (1810 — 1849)
Chopin was born in Warsaw, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert (1797 — 1828)
Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors, Schubert was not good at performing. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents was known.
21．What did Beethoven and Bach have in common according to the text
A．They went through hardships. B．They were not good performers.
C．They both held an official position. D．They have great influence on modern music.
22．Bach worked as a court organist in Weimar until ________.
A．1707 B．1717 C．1750 D．1765
23．What do we know about the four musicians
A．They all became famous at a young age. B．They were all famous in their lifetime.
C．They were all good at playing the piano. D．They all made great contributions to the world.
Skillfully fixing music, checking the piano, and testing the microphone, Wan Shicheng, 25, looked around the stage, briefly introduced the band members, and began to sing. The harmonious flow of music made it hard for the audience to imagine that it was a band made up of people with intellectual disabilities.
Wan’s IQ is 40, or the level of a three-year-old child. The guitarist Zhang Mingqiu, keyboardist Chen Tairan and drummer Huang Shi all have autism (孤独症). They were drawn from a help center with intellectual (智力的) disabilities in Yueyang, Hunan province. Last year, the band was formed under the guidance of the center’s instructor Peng Xiaokang.
Peng became a volunteer at the center in 2019. With a music education background, he was surprised to find many of the people had artistic talent. According to Peng, the band practicing is a positive form of therapy, helping the members develop positive behavior and aiding the preparation for their social integration.
It takes them a bit longer time to master the songs, but Peng doesn’t mind. “There is no shortcut but patience,” he says. As Peng expected, the band’s first performances proved challenging. But some members also struggled to adapt to a less strict schedule. Gradually, they became less resistant and started actively practicing and even became keen to perform.
“Their performance has inspired many families just like theirs,” Peng says, adding that many people with intellectual disabilities are “stuck” at home with nothing to do.
On Aug 19, the band toured Changsha to perform in front of charity organizations, volunteers, and people with intellectual disabilities. As the band marked its first anniversary, they hoped to make more people aware of the group.
“We definitely want to support them, and to learn from such education models, and hope to promote it in my city,” says Jiang Ying, who was on an organization that helps families and children with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征).
24．What were the members of the band suffering
A．Heart attack. B．Down syndrome.
C．Serious blindness. D．Intellectual disabilities.
25．Which word can be used to best describe Peng
A．Humorous. B．Athletic. C．Patient. D．Forgetful.
26．What can we conclude from Peng’s words
A．People with autism are far from smart.
B．Some intellectually disabled people are jobless.
C．The band members can’t adapt to the strict schedule.
D．People with intellectual disabilities are stuck in learning.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Performances taking much active practice
B．A non-profit band receiving full recognition
C．Young musicians gaining more experience
D．A special band bringing hope to similar people
Humidity (湿度) in the air comes from water evaporating (蒸发) off rivers, plants, fallen rain and other sources of water on Earth’s surface. That’s why wet places, such as this New Guinea rainforest, are more humid than dry deserts.
Humidity is a measure of the amount of water in the air. The more water in the air, the higher the humidity. This airborne moisture comes from water evaporating off oceans, lakes, rivers, and so on. Winds can then move the water in the air around.
Water evaporates more easily in warm places. That’s why it tends to be more humid in the tropics than the Arctic. But some hot places, such as deserts, are not humid because there is little water there to evaporate, so humidity there is very low.
Weather reports often describe humidity in terms of “relative humidity”. This is a measure of how much water vapor (水蒸气) is in the air compared with how much vapor the air could hold at a given temperature. For instance, a relative humidity of 50 percent means the air is holding half the moisture it could hold at its current temperature.
Here’s where it can get tricky. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. That means there may be more water vapor in the air on a warm day with a relative humidity of 50 percent than a cold day with a relative humidity of even 55 percent. When air at any temperature reaches a relative humidity of 100 percent, it cannot hold any more water vapor. This vapor then condenses (液化) into water drops. Those drops can settle on the ground in the form of dew or rain. In the air, they can create fog or clouds.
In high humidity, it is harder for sweat to evaporate off skin - making it more difficult to cool the body through sweating.
28．What plays a key role in making New Guinea rainforest more humid than dry deserts
A．Winds. B．Sunlight. C．Temperature. D．Sources of water.
29．What percent of water vapor in the air is most likely to result in clouds
A．45%. B．50%. C．55%. D．100%.
30．What does a person most probably experience if living in high humidity
A．Feeling hot. B．Rainy weather.
C．Becoming weak. D．Difficulty in sweating.
31．Which is the best title for the text
A．Ice, water and vapor in the air
B．What is humidity in the air
C．How does water on Earth turn into vapor
D．Relative humidity in the weather report
We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal, you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to take. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently, you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn’t happen instantly, people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goals they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own ways.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times, you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don’t take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly. You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goals. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.
32．Why will people who live instantly fail in many things
A．They want greater efficiency. B．They fail to stick to their goals.
C．They often change their lifestyles. D．They tend to pursue higher targets.
33．Which of the following is the author’s suggestion
A．Setting practical goals. B．Making detailed plans.
C．Focusing on the journey. D．Receiving a good education.
34．According to the text, persistent people ________.
A．will focus more on the result B．work slower than instant people
C．will get rewarded for their efforts D．ignore what they have done
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Live persistently B．Pursue your goals
C．Appreciate your abilities D．Treasure every opportunity
A great life doesn’t happen by accident. A great life is the result of dividing your time, energy, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure. 36 Make the following secrets fit your own needs and style, and start creating your own great life today!
A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplification means. 37 Instead, it’s a way to free up your energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it first.
38 Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that are not important but distracting you. Look around at someone’s life you admire. What do they do that you would like to adopt in your own life Ask them how they do it. Then you will find ways to free up your mental energy for more important things.
A great life is the result of your adjustments. 39 It may mean thinking again about how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for a few new ways to spend your energy that agree with your particular definition of your great life.
A great life is the result of starting. There is an old saying everyone is familiar with—A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. 40 It’s what you do today that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.
A．There’s no better time to start than today.
B．A great life is the result of having intention.
C．It’s not a way to remove work from your life.
D．A great life is the result of removing distractions.
E．So it requires that you should make some changes.
F．Start setting up your life to support success and ease.
G．It’s easy to spend your days on whatever gets your attention.

In fact, Muhammad 58 (dream) of starting a charitable organization and of being an actor since her childhood. For decades, these wishes must have seemed improbable, if not impossible. Muhammad has spent her life serving others: at home as a mother to five children 59 at work in the US Department of Defense.
This sounds 60 (tire), but Muhammad has always had a lot of energy. “I look forward to each day. 61 I always think is ‘something new, something new’.

【原文】W: We’re developing a new technology that can detect forest fires as soon as they start.

M: That is truly mind-blowing.
W: Yes. The other place where it will be useful is Australia. At the start of the year, there were 50 separate bushfires burning across the country.
M: So how will your new detection system work
W: We’re going to use a new range of satellites which have heat cameras.
M: Don’t other satellites have those
W: Yes, but none is so advanced. They can detect a fire the size of a football field. The new one can sense a fire the size of a car.
M: And will that be enough of a difference to stop the fire from spreading
W: We believe so. Hopefully it will give firefighters enough time to stop it before it gets too big.
M: If it works, I really hope you get recognition for it.
W: I just want to try and stop trees from burning, and more importantly, protect the poor animals that live in them.
M: I know, we often only consider the human cost, never the animal cost.

【原文】
M: When Katie Stagliano was 9 years old, she planted a cabbage seed in a garden outside her house. She cared for it every day. It grew to be HUGE! Forty pounds huge! With her mom’s help, she decided to donate this very unique cabbage to a local soup kitchen to help feed the hungry in her community. And because of her cabbage, 275 people were fed.
She began to realize that gardening and helping people are what she likes to do most. So, she decided to start her first garden on a plot of land donated by her school.
With the help of her parents and school, Katie’s Krops was born! Katie’s Krops plants gardens to grow food that is donated to local soup kitchens to feed the hungry.
“I think if more kids get to experience gardening they would find out how cool it is and how many people can be fed if you donate your produce,” said Katie. She loves gardening and loves inspiring other children to experience the joy of gardening as well.
Katie’s dream is to end hunger around the world. She has raised over 200,000 dollars! And there’re now over 100 Katie’s Krops growing across the United States! Her goal now To get 500 gardens across all 50 states.

(和谐流畅的音乐让观众很难想象这是一支由有智力障碍人士组成的乐队)”和第五段中““Their performance has inspired many families just like theirs,” Peng says (“他们的表演激励了许多像他们一样的家庭，”彭说)”可知，文章主要讲述了一支由智力障碍人士组成的乐队的故事，这支乐队不畏艰难，坚持对音乐的热爱，他们的演出给患有同样疾病的孩子及家庭带去了希望。因此，D项“一个特殊的乐队给相似的人带来希望”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍空气湿度及影响空气湿度的诸多因素如气温、风力等，并解释什么叫相对湿度。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Humidity (湿度) in the air comes from water evaporating (蒸发) off rivers, plants, fallen rain and other sources of water on Earth’s surface. That’s why wet places, such as this New Guinea rainforest, are more humid than dry deserts. (空气中的湿度来自河流、植物、降雨和地球表面其他水源的蒸发。这就是为什么潮湿的地方，比如新几内亚雨林，比干燥的沙漠更潮湿。)”可知，水资源丰富的地方，湿度相对较大，因此新几内亚雨林的湿度大于沙漠。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第五段中“When air at any temperature reaches a relative humidity of 100 percent, it cannot hold any more water vapor. This vapor then condenses (液化) into water drops. Those drops can settle on the ground in the form of dew or rain. In the air, they can create fog or clouds. (当空气在任何温度下的相对湿度达到100%时，它就不能再容纳水蒸气了。然后水蒸气凝结成水滴。这些水滴会以露水或雨的形式落在地面上。在空气中，它们可以形成雾或云。)”可知，当相对湿度达到100%时，空气中的水蒸气会液化，形成云雾。故选D项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In high humidity, it is harder for sweat to evaporate off skin - making it more difficult to cool the body through sweating. (在高湿度的环境中，汗水很难从皮肤上蒸发掉，这就使得通过出汗来冷却身体变得更加困难。)”可知，在湿度大的地方，体表的汗液难以蒸发，人们难以通过排汗的方式保持凉爽。因此，在湿度大的地方生活的人容易感觉闷热。故选A项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Humidity (湿度) in the air comes from water evaporating (蒸发) off rivers, plants, fallen rain and other sources of water on Earth’s surface. (空气中的湿度来自河流、植物、降雨和地球表面其他水源的蒸发。)”可知，本文主要介绍空气湿度及影响空气湿度的诸多因素。B项“空气中的湿度是什么？”符合主题，适合做标题，故选B项。
32．B 33．C 34．C 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了坚持对于实现目标的重要性。
32．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn’t happen instantly, people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure. (机会总是被忽视，因为当某件事没有立刻发生时，人们就会转向他们清单上的下一件事，并把当前的目标视为失败)”可知，生活在当下的人会在很多事情上失败，这是因为他们不能坚持自己的目标。故选B。
33．细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. (慢下来，花点时间享受这段旅程)”可知，作者建议我们要放慢脚步，享受过程，即关注旅程本身。故选C。
34．细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there. (如果你真的想达到目标，坚持会让你成功)”可知，坚持不懈的人会因努力得到回报。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal, you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地). (我们生活在一个希望一切都能立刻实现的世界里。在这个追求即时的世界里，很难在任何事情上取得成功。要实现你的目标，你首先得把你的生活态度从追求即时转变为追求坚持)”可知，文章主要讲述了在追求目标的过程中，坚持的重要性，以及为什么追求瞬间满足的人会在很多事情上失败。因此，最适合本文的标题是“Live persistently (坚持地生活)”。故选A。

Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure.(美好的生活不是偶然发生的。美好的生活是将你的时间、精力和努力分配给你想要的生活的结果。不要让自己承受压力和失败。)”可知，前文提到不要陷入不好的状态，而F选项Start setting up your life to support success and ease.(开始安排你的生活，以助力成功、让生活变得轻松)符合语境，在语义上形成了很好的承接，先是停止不好的情况，接着就是开启积极的、有助于成功和轻松生活的安排，逻辑连贯，符合此处上下文语境要求，引导读者向积极创造美好生活的方向过渡。故选F项。
37．由上文“A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplification means. (美好的生活是简化生活的结果。人们常常误解简化的含义。)”可知，前面指出人们对“简化”的理解存在误解，而C选项It’s not a way to remove work from your life.(它不是一种从生活中去除工作的方式)符合语境，先否定了一种错误的看法，然后后文再阐述正确的含义，也就是“是为了腾出精力做喜欢的事”，起到了纠正误解、进一步解释“简化”真正意思的作用，使文意衔接自然流畅。故选C项。
38．由下文“Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that are not important but distracting you. Look around at someone’s life you admire. What do they do that you would like to adopt in your own life Ask them how they do it. Then you will find ways to free up your mental energy for more important things.(高达75%的精神能量可能被束缚在不重要但会分散你注意力的事情上。看看你钦佩的人的生活。他们做了什么，你想在自己的生活中采用？问问他们是怎么做到的。然后你会找到方法来释放你的精神能量，去做更重要的事情。)”可知，后文重点在讲精神能量被不重要的事分散以及如何去释放能量做重要事，而D选项A great life is the result of removing distractions.(美好的生活源于消除干扰)作为开头，能很好地总领这部分内容，先点明主旨是要消除干扰，然后再具体阐述干扰情况以及应对办法，与后文内容联系紧密，起到了引领下文的作用。故选D项。
39．由上文“A great life is the result of your adjustments.(美好的生活是你调整的结果。)”可知，前一句提到美好的生活是调整的结果，而E选项So it requires that you should make some changes.(所以它要求你应该做出一些改变)符合语境，对“调整”进一步做了阐释，说明既然是调整那就意味着要做出改变，并且后文具体列举了时间、金钱、精力花费等方面改变的例子，该选项能够很好地承接前文并引出后文内容，使整个段落围绕“调整”这一要点的论述逻辑清晰、连贯顺畅。故选E项。
40．由上文“A great life is the result of starting. There is an old saying everyone is familiar with—A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. (伟大的人生是开始的结果。有一句老话大家都很熟悉——千里之行始于足下。为了从沙发搬到冰箱，你必须开始。)”可知，前文强调了“开始”的重要性，而A 选项There’s no better time to start than today.(没有比今天更好的开始时间了)符合语境，再次强化了“开始”这个关键要点，突出当下（今天）就应该行动起来，因为今天的行为会影响明天的生活，与前文围绕“开始”进行论述的主题相契合，也对整个段落起到了总结升华的作用，让读者更明确要即刻行动去创造美好生活。故选A项。

67．Paragraph 1:
The girls made a plan to be very kind to their uncle hoping to teach him a valuable lesson. The next day, while eating their breakfast, they said to the cook, “This is a very delicious meal. Thanks.” Watching his nieces’ good behaviors, their uncle was puzzled at why they were so polite to the cook. Later that day, the princesses offered help to the butler, which made their uncle blow up. He didn’t allow the girls to do chores.Paragraph 2:
Seeing that their plan didn’t work, the princesses were sad. They didn’t know why their uncle didn’t respect others and why he treated cooks and butlers as slaves without any kindness. One day, the uncle slid on the ground because it rained the night before. It hurt him a lot and he couldn’t stand up by himself. Although cooks, maids and butlers saw this, they pretended not to see and were busy with their own things. Nobody wanted to help the mean uncle. The princesses came and helped him, and the shameful uncle now realized that he shouldn’t be so mean to others.
