The violin was very old. It didn’t look like it was even playable. The auctioneer didn’t feel like it was worth his time. But he still held it up with a smile. “Who’ll start then bidding for the violin?” he shouted. “One dollar? One dollar. Then, two! Only two? Two dollars, and who’ll make it three? Three dollars, once; three dollars, twice; going for three...” “Wait a moment!” A gray-haired man came forward. He said, “May I play a song for you?” The people in the hall gave him little applause as he picked up the violin. But when he started playing, the audience enjoyed the music, for the man played quite beautifully. Then, he stopped playing. The auctioneer held the violin up again and said, “Who would like to bid on the violin?” “One thousand dollars! Who’ll make it two? Two thousand! And who’ll make it three? Three thousand, once; three thousand, twice; going and gone,” he said. Some of the people there felt quite puzzled. They weren’t sure what had changed the violin’s price. The person who bid 3,000 dollars for the violin explained—it was the “touch” of a master’s hands. 21. What did the violin look like? A. It was old and cheap. B. It was fun to play with. C.

Short Stories D. Care about Health C When you go to the park, you might notice many older people listening to audiobooks instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as beneficial as reading a book? Reading needs us to focus all our attention on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too. But the big question is do we get knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content. It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information, whether they listened to it or read it. Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates almost the same parts of the brain as reading does. However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often multitasking. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia told The New York Times. 31. The audiobook users are freer in ________ than paper book users. A. age and place B. price and time C. time and place D. price and age 32. What might the word “recall” mean? A. lose B. change C. remember D. speak 33. What do we know about the experiment of the journal? A. Researchers learned how people’s brains work. B. People need to read and listen to books at the same time. C. People need to recollect the information in their heads. D. Researchers activate people’s brains before reading. 34. Why do some people think paper books help them learn better than audiobooks? A. Because they can listen to audiobooks later. B. Because people need to stay focused while reading. C. Because they can do other tasks at the same time. D. Because they want to protect their ears. 35. How does the writer plan the article? A. B. C. D. D “Hello, everyone, I’m taikong jie (space sister),” said Russian actress Yulia Peresild, greeting an audience in a cinema in Beijing. Peresild is the first actress in human history to shoot a film in space. She spent 12 days on the International Space Station (ISS) for the Russian film, The Challenge, which is now playing in China. The film tells an exciting story. Peresild plays a doctor who goes to space to help a sick Russian cosmonaut. Shooting a film in space is not easy. Peresild and the director Klim Shipenko trained hard for three-and-a-half months before going to space. Peresild did some 8G centrifuge (离心) tests. It’s the test that astronauts usually take. It feels like eight times your own body weight pressing down on you. She did very well in them. While in space, Peresild had to get used to living in microgravity. As the film team only had two members, the actress had to do her own makeup. So, she used adhesive hooks (粘钩) to keep her makeup things in place and stop them from floating away. Space also brought her new experiences. In a gravity-free environment, people won’t easily gain weight. Peresild said she enjoyed eating and found she preferred hot foods. The trip also brought her a once-in-a-lifetime view. “We could see a blue arc (弧形的) line at the edges of the sun and Earth,” she said. The Challenge gives the audience a very realistic look at space travel, said Chen Zheng, an associate professor of physics at Beijing Jiaotong University. “When Peresild comes into zero gravity, her hair stands upright and floats. This weightless feeling cannot be achieved on Earth by any physical means,” Chen said. 36. What is Peresild’s role in the movie? A. A Russian actress. B. A worker in ISS. C. A doctor. D. A sick cosmonaout. 37. What did Peresild do to prepare to go to space? A. She played a person living in space for 3.5 months. B. She did some of the physical training astronauts do. C. She wore things that were eight times her own weight. D. She learned how to shoot a film from the director. 38. How has life in space brought her new experiences? A. She saw views unseen on Earth. B. She gained weight more easily. C. She learned to make hot foods. D. She stayed close to the sun. 39. According to Chen Zheng, what makes this movie outstanding? A. The physical means it used. B. The feelings of roles. C. The actress’ hair. D. The scenes in real space. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. Peresild’s path to being a successful actress. B. The first space movie and its achievements. C. People’s opinions toward a space movie. D. Peresild’s experience of filming a movie in space. 第二节 阅读E篇短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项。（每小题1分，共5分） E Do you want to make friends with others? Please remember to keep your words all the time.
