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. B 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 C 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 D 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 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。 A great life doesn’t happen by accident.

Thank you! 第二节(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】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. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
