三、 阅读理解。(每小题1.5分,共15分)
A(2022·昆明)
For Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song “Snowflake” was her best present for Paralympians(残奥会运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.
Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colourful” music through sound and emotion.
Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score(乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.
Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings(弦) over and over again to feel the muscles(肌肉) herself.
“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sounds except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practising so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practising.”
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event, “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage.”
( C )1. The violin performance made people feel .
A. regret, hope and light B. fear, warmth and hope
C. warmth, hope and light D. pity, warmth and light
( D )2. How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin?
A. By questioning others. B. By listing numbers.
C. By offering advice. D. By giving examples.
( B )3. Which of the following is true about Ma?
A. Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.
B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.
C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.
D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.

The story of Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona in Italy. Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, hate each other so much that they fight on the street whenever they meet.
One of these families, the Capulets, holds a big party. They introduce their daughter Juliet to a rich nobleman(贵族), Count(伯爵) Paris, who has asked to marry her. Juliet is nearly 14, and her parents force her to marry soon.
That night, at the party, Romeo, the son of the Montague family, meets Juliet and they fall in love at first sight. However, Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, knows Romeo is from the Montague family and wants to kill him. Romeo hides in the garden and talks to Juliet when she appears on her balcony. The next day they go to a priest(神父) called Friar Laurence and get married in secret.
Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, gets angry very easily. He starts a fight with Romeo’s best friend. When Romeo steps in to break up the fight between the two men, his best friend is accidentally killed. Romeo runs after Tybalt in anger and kills him. Romeo is sent away from Verona. But Friar Laurence, the priest who organized the secret wedding between Romeo and Juliet, arranges for them to spend one night together as husband and wife.
Meanwhile, the Capulets decide that Juliet must marry Count Paris at once. When Juliet says that she doesn’t want to, her parents are very angry. Of course, they do not know that she has already secretly married Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence to help her to see Romeo again. Friar Laurence has an idea—he gives Juliet a drug which will make everyone think that she is dead. But in fact she’s only in a long, deep sleep. While Juliet is sleeping, Friar Laurence sends a message to Romeo to tell him to come to her tomb(坟墓) and take her away.
When the guests arrive for Juliet’s wedding, they find Juliet’s lifeless body. Believing she is dead, her family put her in the tomb. Sadly, Romeo never gets the message that Juliet has taken a drug and is really alive. He only hears that she is dead. Romeo returns to Verona, and goes to Juliet’s tomb. There he meets Count Paris, who has also come to say goodbye to Juliet. The two fight and Romeo kills him. Romeo still believes that Juliet is dead, so he drinks poison(毒药) and dies. But soon after this, Juliet’s drug stops working and she wakes up. She sees that Romeo is dead. So she takes his knife, and kills herself too.

Secondly, healthy bodies can bring us happiness. Health is important to everyone. When we keep healthy, we can work and study happily. So we should keep on doing exercise every day.
