However,if you are a beginner on SoundCloud,then sharing and uploading music can seem like a complex task.This is why we have put together a step by step guide on how you can upload music to SoundCloud. Supported Formats(格式)： The first thing that you need to know is the formats that are supported by SoundCloud.SoundCloud supports the following formats for music:FLAC.AIFF, WAV,OGG,MP2,WMA,MP3,AMR,AAC,and ALAC.Though the list seems limited and short,this is all that SoundCloud supports.If you have music in any other format,you will have to convert (it to the required format before uploading. Things to pay attention to before uploading: ·You must have a verified(已验证的)email address associated with your SoundCloud account before you can begin uploading. The maximum upload size on SoundCloud is 5 GB (gigabytes)while the ·3· maximum length of the audio file can be 6 hours. There is a time allowance on SoundCloud accounts.A free user can only upload up to 180 minutes of music content in total while a Pro user can upload music of up to 360 minutes. Now that you know the exact requirements of uploading a music file to SoundCloud,let us take a look at how you can upload music to SoundCloud. 21.What can we learn about SoundCloud?

B Using the natural elements around her,Kala Baybatan Tanaka navigates the ocean in a canoe ()She is part of a four-woman team that recently set the record for the fastest rowing time from California to Hawaii. Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots.Her ancestors navigated the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars,the sun,the currents and the wind. Today,she does the same.It's not that she navigates without technology.Rather, she uses the natural technology around her.It's called Wayfinding. Wayfinding was taught to her by her father who had learned it from their ancestors.During the day,Kala uses the sun until it hits a certain height.When she gets closer to land,she looks for certain species of land birds and stationary clouds that indicate there is land below."I feel very connected to my ancestors when I sail.I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe,"says Kala. The voyage (from California to Hawaii required Kala to spend long hours studying the day and the night skies.It was demanding,physical work.It also had its moments of feeling awful.For Kala,the beauty is in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment. ·4· Now when she is not sailing,she teaches Wayfinding skills to school-aged children in hopes of passing on the skills her ancestors relied on.Today,it's easy for children to get lost in the immediacy ()of the technology of our day,to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us.But if we take the time to look up,to see the stars and the sun,the way the clouds move,the miracle of life beneath and above us,we will discover something deep inside us,something that will always lead to happiness. 24.How did Kala complete her voyage? A.By rowing a canoe. B.With friends'help. C.With the help of a guide. D.By turning to her father. 25.Why did Kala feel connected to her ancestors while sailing? A.She could enjoy her knowledge of nature. B.Her whole family sailed together with her. C.She sailed with their natural technology. D.They had made the canoe and left it for her. 26.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Children are lost in the natural technology. B.Getting close to nature brings us happiness. C.Most children take their time to enjoy nature. D.Wayfinding skills aren't required anymore today. 27.What's the author's purpose of writing this text? A.To tell an inspiring story to us. B.To explain what Wayfinding is. C.To teach us how to sail in a canoe. D.To tell us how to tell the stars at night. C Microplastics(塑料微粒)are found everywhere from the top of mountains to the ocean deep-even inside people.Microplastics are tiny.But they pose a big pollution problem. These tiny bits of trash are 5 millimeters or smaller.Some are made that small. For instance,the tiny beads in some toothpastes and face washes are microplastics. But many microplastics are debris (from larger plastic pieces that have broken down. ·5· Microplastics travel far on winds and ocean currents.They've ended up everywhere from mountaintops to Arctic ice.Microplastics are so widespread that many animals end up eating them.Plastic bits have turned up in birds,fish,whales, corals and many other creatures.Microplastics are found inside people,too. Americans are thought to consume some 70,000 microplastic pieces each year. People might take in plastic particles floating through the air.Or they may eat fish or other animals that contain microplastics-or drink water polluted with this trash. Microplastics can then pass from the lungs or get into the bloodstream.This pollution may prevent their growth or cause other harms. Researchers do not yet know the health risks of being exposed to (so much microplastic.But they are worried.Why?Plastics are made of many different chemicals.Some of these are known to bring health risks to people. Engineers are coming up with solutions to the microplastic problem.Some are working on new ways to break down plastics in the environment.Others are devising more environmentally friendly materials to use instead of plastic.But to decrease microplastic pollution to the most extent,we should use less plastic. 28.What does the underlined word "pose"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Prevent. B.Allow. C.Cause. D.Destroy. 29.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.Whether microplastics do harm to creatures. B.How microplastics can travel to the ocean. C.Why creatures are harmed by microplastics. D.Where microplastics are most easily found. 30.Why are researchers worried about being exposed to microplastics? A.They can travel deep into ocean. B.They are too small for us to see. C.Their impacts on health are still unknown. D.They bring health risks to people. 31.What is the most effective way to fight microplastic pollution? A.Using less plastic. B.Using less chemicals. C.Breaking down plastic. D.Looking for new materials. D Scientific studies have shown that kindness has many physical and emotional ·6 benefits.A great number of reasons have been reported to support the theory of teaching kindness in schools. Science explains that the good feelings we experience when being kind are produced by endorphins (that make areas of the brain active that are associated with pleasure,social connection and trust.And it's proven that these feelings of joyfulness can spread from one person to another,encouraging more kind behaviors by both givers and receivers. Studies show that people experience a rush of endorphins that creates a lasting sense of pride,well-being and an enriched sense of belonging when they do a good 弥 deed.Even small acts of kindness are reported to promote our sense of well-being, increase energy and give a wonderful feeling of optimism and self-worth. It's widely recorded in documents that being kind can also cause a release of the hormone oxytocin which has a number of physical and mental health benefits as it can significantly increase a person's level of happiness and reduce stress.It also plays a significant role in the cardiovascular(心血管t的)system,helping protect the heart. As it increases serotonin,which plays an important part in learning,memory, mood,sleep,health and digestion,kindness is a key element that helps children feel good.Having a positive attitude allows them greater attention spans and enables more creative thinking to produce better results at school. Kindness changes the brain by the experience of kindness. Children and adolescents do not learn kindness by only thinking about it and talking about it. Kindness is best learned by feeling it so that they can reproduce it.Kindness is an emotion that students feel and empathy is a strength that they share. 32.What can endorphins bring to people? A.Freedom. B.Curiosity. C.Happiness. D.Confidence. 线 33.Which of the following is helpful in protecting people's heart? A.Serotonin. B.Endorphin. C.A sense of pride. D.Hormone oxytocin. 34.What is the best way to learn kindness? A.Sharing it. B.Experiencing it. C.Talking about it. D.Thinking about it. 35.What is the best title for this text? A.Importance of teaching kindness ·7· B.Importance of good concentration C.How to improve health and happiness D.The givers and receivers of kindness 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 “I wish I had straight hair'”;“T'd like to be taller'”.At times,we all want to look a bit more like someone else.However,the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies "should"look.The truth is that everybody is different.36 Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence. 37 Body confidence is when someone accepts,appreciates and behaves kindly towards their body.That includes our size and shape,skin color,appearance and any physical disabilities.Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR),says that having body confidence is "about being accepting of your body and what it does for you'”. If you feel positive about your body,you are more likely to take care of it. 38 However,feeling worried about your body could make you step back,do less well at school and even feel down.Researchers say,"If you are spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way,you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories." Remember that everybody is different.To develop a positive body image,Parnell suggests trying to talk positively about your own body and other people's bodies. 39 Instead,think about "What does your body do for you?""Do your legs make you run really fast?"She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods,exercising to feel good and to have fun,and getting plenty of sleep. 40 A.And that's a good thing. B.What is body confidence? C.What should your body look like? D.Try not to pay much attention to appearance. E.Remember that you are more than how you look. F.Research has shown that you are more likely to take part in activities, G.People with body shame are more likely to have disordered eating behavior. 海·8· 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My name's Nyombi Morris,a Ugandan climate activist and CEO of the non- profit Earth Volunteers.Since childhood,I was affected by climate change.Our farm was41 when I was 12.Illegal(非法的)sand mining along the riverbanks42 flooding already caused by climate change.We 43 our farm and home,so we moved to Kampala,Uganda's capital city,where we lived with my 44.But her home quickly became 45,so we moved to a one-room rental-much 46 and less beautiful than our old home.It was too much for my father.My mother 47 three children after he left.She often 48 to find enough food or money.I can't 49 how many times we went to sleep hungry because we couldn't afford food.But back on our 50,we had plenty to eat.

How was your picnic in the mountains? M: The bad weather destroyed it completely. All our food was washed away by the heavy rain. (Text2) W. What do you usually do on Sundays? M:I go shopping in the morning, work in the garden in the afternoon, and read the newspaper after dinner. (Ter3) M. Suzanne, what are you doing? You're meant to be doing your homework. W:This is homework! For P. E. I'm learning a dance to perform M: Well, turn the music down: please. I can't hear my TV program! (Text4) M: How do you like our boss? W:I find him a very charming man, very friendly, considerate-not at all proud. M: I certainly can't disagree with you on that (Text5) M: That was your first visit to your home city in seven years, wasn't it? W: Yes. When I arrived, I met a friend Stefan from high school. We walked by the river. The riverside used to be the factory area, but now there are gardens and a new sports center. (Text6) M: Hi! How was your business trip? W:To tell you the truth, it was awful. The day I left, the traffic was really bad, so I got to the airport late. And of course I missed my flight. M: So, you were probably late for the sales meeting, then? W: Yeah. Then, because I was so stressed out, I forgot to give Mr Wilson my business card. M: I'm sure he understood. W. Yeah, and I apologized right away M: So, it doesn't sound like your trip was that bad. (Text7) M: Look at that long line of people waiting. I'm glad we've booked a table W: Yes. Do you often eat here? M. No, I usually cat at home. I eat here just about once a month with my friends. This place is very popular, so we usually book a table before we come. W. So, do you cook for yourself when you eat at home? M: Hardly ever, I live with my grandmother. She prepares food for me. W: You are so lucky. M: Do you often cook? W: Yes, I live with my mother, but she doesn't know how to cook, so I usually do it. (Texi8) W. Bob, I'm sure you know about second-hand smoke. M.Of course. I do. W: But have you heard about third-hand smoke? M: Third-hand smoke? I'm afraid not. What is that then? W: Well, it is here in today's paper. Parents may think they are protecting children from second-hand smoke when they smoke outside their home or only when the children are not there, But now researchers are warning about what they call third-hand smoke. When you smoke, dangerous matter from cigarettes gets into your hair and clothing. As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the baby's chances of disease. M: Is that so? In that case I have to say that I should never get close to a baby. W:That's right. . Actually all smoking parents should do the same or better give it up completely. (Text9) W:Oh, Mike! I didn't know you had any interest in painting. M: I don't know much about it at all, so I thought it would be a good idea to take this course. W:Did you go to the art show last night? M: No, there was lots of work in the lab. The show is open for one more day, so I'm going to see it tonight with my sister. What do you think of it? W:I love it. Desiree's paintings will catch your eyes as soon as you see them and then your eves lock on them. M:I can't wait to see them myself. And did you say the painter's name was Desiree? W: Yes, but she only uses that name when she paints. Her real name is Lucy Green. But don't you think Desiree really sounds more exciting? M: It sure does, Oh, it looks like Mr Brown is here. I'll talk to you after class. (Text 10) M: The Martian tells the story of Mark Watney, an astronaut on the Ares 3 mission tc Mars. After a terrible storm almost destroys the ship and the base, the members of his ship believe he is dead. But Mark does not die in the storm, and he has been left behind. Alone on the red planet, he has to survive until the next mission to Mars arrives. While this novel is fiction, in some ways it feels like non-fiction. It is very scientific and packed with details about survival on Mars. Watney is a botanist and engineer, and he begins to grow food and produce water in his artificial camp. The author is Andy Weir, and this is his first published book. In it he has created a realistic character. Watney admits at the beginning that he is in deep trouble, but he never gives up. What The Martian gives us is a realistic look at an intelligent person alone on a planet who tries to survive.null
