UW Student Classical Music Jacoby Competition
The worlds of competition and classical music meet head-on as the University of Wyoming’s finest student musicians will be chosen during the UW Symphony Orchestra’s Jacoby Competition at 7:30 pm on May 6 in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall.
Tickets are $19 for the general public, $15 for the elderly and $9 for students. To order tickets, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.tix.com/ticket-sales/uwyo/6984.
The concert is named after Dorothy Jacoby, a musical and founding member of the local Symphony Association and a longtime supporter of classical music in Laramie. After her death, her sons, Peter and Michael Jacoby, made a generous contribution in honour of their mother.
“The Jacoby Competition never fails to be one of the UW Symphony Orchestra’s most exciting events,” says UW Department of Music Professor Michael Griffith. “What you will hear is actually the finals of a two-stage competition.”
Several months ago, many UW music students played their selected pieces in the audition (试演) round. A group of well-known musicians served as judges and chose the seven top students to perform in the finals concert. Another set of judges will be at the performance and will decide the best two performances of the evening. The winners will get the $2,500 prize that is awarded at the performance.
1. What is the ticket price for students to attend the concert?

2. What were the music students required to do in the first round?

3. What will the winners receive?

Can you sing in different voices? Chinese singer Zhou Shen can do this. The 27-year-old has become more popular after appearing on the TV show Singer. On the show, he sang a song in five different voices including the voice of a little girl, a king and a young man. He records in his unusual ways - he has performed in his bedroom twice due to the novel coronavirus outbreak - but also with his singing itself.
Zhou’s road to success was not easy. He loved singing when he was a little boy. However, his voice didn’t change like other boys during puberty (青春期). It still sounded like a girl’s voice. His classmates laughed at him and he dared not sing in public. But his love of music made him stronger. Producer Gao Xiaosong said Zhou has “come out of the cocoon (茧) and become a butterfly”. It has taken Zhou a long time to do so.
While studying in Ukraine, he learned Ukrainian, Russian, Italian and Polish. He can sing Let It Go in nine different languages. He started to sing on TV talent shows and gradually came to accept himself.
At 17, he first sang online without showing his face. Some people fell in love with it. On one of his birthdays, he agreed to show his face. However, when they found out that he was a man, some of them made fun of him. Zhou felt bad about this, but later he got the chance to sing the theme song to the movie Big Fish and Begonia which turned out to be a big success.
“I accept my voice,” Zhou said. “It is good as long as it is natural and honest.” Zhou Shen doesn’t just sing well. He is also humorous. He has a nice personality (性格) and is friendly to his fans. Some people call him “treasure boy”.
4. What did Zhou Shen do on the TV show Singer?
A. He won first place in the program.
B. He made a record in his bedroom.
C. He sang a song in different sounds.
D. He performed a show in five languages.
5. Why did Zhou Shen’s voice sound like a girl’s?
A. An accident changed his voice.
B. He wanted to be different from others.
C. His voice didn’t change during puberty.
D. He practiced singing like his favorite singer.
6. People call Zhou Shen “treasure boy” because of his ________.
A. rich life
B. popular songs
C. love for music
D. personalities and talent
7. What is the purpose of the text?

D. To introduce Zhou Shen’s new movie.

Over a year ago, some of my colleagues and I started a tradition in which we try out different restaurants in the Austin area. This quickly became a highlight worth looking forward to. Each outing has been filled with great food, engaging conversations, and lively debates. But no matter what the evening’s discussion is, one thing is a constant: however full we feel after the main course, we always prefer to order dessert.
A team of researchers led by Marielle Minère and Henning Fenselau, along with colleagues, set out to investigate why this happens. Their findings revealed a surprising brain mechanism at play, one that helps explain why sugar cravings continue even when we are no longer hungry.
Central to their discovery are POMC neurons (神经元), a group of cells that have long been known to control appetite and hunger. Traditionally, POMC neurons are believed to work by promoting fullness. But Minère and colleagues discovered something unexpected, which is that not all POMC neurons function this way. Instead of reducing appetite, some POMC neurons actually increase it, but only for sugar! In other words, while the body signals that it has had enough food, the brain at the same time activates a pathway that specifically encourages sugar consumption.
To test this, the scientists used advanced imaging techniques to watch these neurons in action as mice encountered different foods. When researchers blocked the actions of these neurons, mice showed less interest in sugary foods after meals. Interestingly, this effect was specific to sugar and had no impact on the consumption of fatty foods.
Of course, this study also has wider applications beyond just explaining our after-dinner excess (过量). This discovery could lead to useful treatments for overeating, especially when it comes to sugar.
8. What does the underlined word “cravings” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A routine meal schedule. B. A dislike for certain flavors.
C. A sudden loss of appetite. D. A strong desire for specific foods.
9. What is the key discovery about POMC neurons?
A. They regulate hunger for more foods. B. They are responsible for burning calories.
C. Some of them encourage sugar appetite. D. Some of them influence sleep pattern.
10. What happened when POMC neurons were blocked in mice?
A. Mice lost their appetite entirely. B. Mice consumed more fatty foods.
C. Sugary foods were less attractive. D. More vegetables were preferred.
11. What is the text likely to discuss next?
A. Possible effects of sugar on mood. B. New ways to control sugar intake.
C. Potential harms of sugar consumption. D. Practical strategies to increase appetite.
D
A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃. A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather. The heat is expected to continue until the end of July.
The Italian Island of Sardinia reached 46℃ on 18 July. The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier. In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool.
Wildfires have broken out in many places. In Greece, which recorded 41℃ on 18 July, fires near the capital, Athens, have destroyed huge areas of forest and thousands of people have been moved to safety. Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires.
In the US, temperatures in Death Valley, California, hit 53℃ on 18 July, close to the hottest ever recorded on Earth. On 16 July, the US National Weather Service issued warnings in parts of the country, affecting more than 80 million people.
Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave. This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK.
The heatwave in Europe is being caused by a weather pattern that has stopped the air from moving very much. That means the hot, dry weather has got stuck and temperatures have kept rising. Earth is also experiencing a natural climate pattern called El Nino(厄尔尼诺), which causes the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm up more than usual. This can lead to hot weather around the world. Temperatures in some parts of Europe were expected to fall on 20 July.
12. What suggestion did the Italian government give to avoid high temperatures?
A. Provide free swimming pools to keep young people cool.
B. Wear thick clothes to prevent the invasion of heat.
C. Drink enough amounts of coffee to keep the mind clear.
D. Don’t go outdoors during high temperature periods.
13. What do we know about the wildfires in Greece?
A. The fires were mainly caused by people.
B. The heatwaves fueled the spread of wildfires.
C. The fires had already killed a thousand people.
D. The entire forest has been destroyed into ruins.
14. What prevented the UK from experiencing the heatwaves of Europe?
A. Different weather patterns. B. Different geographic locations.
C. Global El Nino phenomenon. D. The effect of the Pacific Ocean.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The hottest city on record in the world has finally emerged.
B. The hot weather caused by heatwaves is coming to an end.
C. Heatwaves swept across Europe and America except the UK.
D. The El Nino phenomenon led to the global high temperatures.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
McCall64, spent the night in a hotel in the tiny town of Cleveland, Tennessee. The retired electrician was driving from Florida to Michigan to visit a sick relative. Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions. In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their 21-year-old grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled and unable to work.
“I’m still looking for a place in the world,” says McCall. “I was married for almost 43years. I’m not sure where I’m supposed to be.” But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: She’d have her two cats, Tucker and a 20-pound cat that she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down. “Honestly, after all the deaths, I was ready to give up,” says McCall. “If it hadn’t been for those two cats, I don’t think I would’ve made it.”
McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on. But Tucker had other ideas. When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning, ready to pack up and hit the road again, the big black and white cat was gone from her hotel room. Panicked, she searched along the busy road for hours, hoping Tucker hadn’t been hit by a car. But he was nowhere to be found. As night fell, McCall realized she had to go. She could not afford to stay another night. Heartbroken, she got in her car and got back on the road.
“I’ d just been through all this tragedy. And now I’d lost Tucker,” she recalled. “We drove off with Fat Cat, crying all the way. Where’s my dear Tucker? I thought he was gone forever.”
The next day, Lillard, 27, went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road from the hotel where McCall had stayed.

Over a year ago, some of my colleagues and I started a tradition in which we try out different restaurants in the Austin area. This quickly became a highlight worth looking forward to. Each outing has been filled with great food, engaging conversations, and lively debates. But no matter what the evening’s discussion is, one thing is a constant: however full we feel after the main course, we always prefer to order dessert.
A team of researchers led by Marielle Minère and Henning Fenselau, along with colleagues, set out to investigate why this happens. Their findings revealed a surprising brain mechanism at play, one that helps explain why sugar cravings continue even when we are no longer hungry.
Central to their discovery are POMC neurons (神经元), a group of cells that have long been known to control appetite and hunger. Traditionally, POMC neurons are believed to work by promoting fullness. But Minère and colleagues discovered something unexpected, which is that not all POMC neurons function this way. Instead of reducing appetite, some POMC neurons actually increase it, but only for sugar! In other words, while the body signals that it has had enough food, the brain at the same time activates a pathway that specifically encourages sugar consumption.
To test this, the scientists used advanced imaging techniques to watch these neurons in action as mice encountered different foods. When researchers blocked the actions of these neurons, mice showed less interest in sugary foods after meals. Interestingly, this effect was specific to sugar and had no impact on the consumption of fatty foods.
Of course, this study also has wider applications beyond just explaining our after-dinner excess (过量). This discovery could lead to useful treatments for overeating, especially when it comes to sugar.
8. What does the underlined word “cravings” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A routine meal schedule. B. A dislike for certain flavors.
C. A sudden loss of appetite. D. A strong desire for specific foods.
9. What is the key discovery about POMC neurons?
A. They regulate hunger for more foods. B. They are responsible for burning calories.
C. Some of them encourage sugar appetite. D. Some of them influence sleep pattern.
10. What happened when POMC neurons were blocked in mice?
A. Mice lost their appetite entirely. B. Mice consumed more fatty foods.
C. Sugary foods were less attractive. D. More vegetables were preferred.
11. What is the text likely to discuss next?
A. Possible effects of sugar on mood. B. New ways to control sugar intake.
C. Potential harms of sugar consumption. D. Practical strategies to increase appetite.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现大脑中部分POMC神经元会促进对糖的食欲,这一发现对治疗过度进食尤其是糖分摄入过量有潜在应用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“however full we feel after the main course, we always prefer to order dessert.(无论主菜后我们感觉有多饱,我们总是更愿意点甜点)”以及第三段“In other words, while the body signals that it has had enough food, the brain at the same time activates a pathway that specifically encourages sugar consumption.(换句话说,当身体发出已经吃饱的信号时,大脑同时激活了一条专门鼓励吃糖的路径)”可推知,划线词所在句子表达“他们的发现揭示了一种令人惊讶的大脑机制,有助于解释为何即使不再饥饿,对糖分的渴望仍会持续。”,故划线词cravings指的是对特定食物(糖)的强烈渴望。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But Minère and colleagues discovered something unexpected, which is that not all POMC neurons function this way. Instead of reducing appetite, some POMC neurons actually increase it, but only for sugar!(但Minère和同事们有了意想不到的发现,并非所有的 POMC神经元都以这种方式发挥作用。一些POMC神经元非但不会降低食欲,实际上还会增加食欲,但只针对糖!)”可知,关于POMC神经元的关键发现是其中一些会增加对糖的食欲。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When researchers blocked the actions of these neurons, mice showed less interest in sugary foods after meals.(当研究人员阻断这些神经元的活动时,老鼠餐后对含糖食物的兴趣降低了)”可知,当老鼠体内的POMC神经元被阻断时,含糖食物对它们的吸引力降低了。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery could lead to useful treatments for overeating, especially when it comes to sugar.(这一发现可能会为暴饮暴食,尤其是糖分摄入过多带来有效的治疗方法)”可推知,文章接下来可能会讨论控制糖分摄入的新方法。故选B。
D
A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃. A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather. The heat is expected to continue until the end of July.
The Italian Island of Sardinia reached 46℃ on 18 July. The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier. In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool.
Wildfires have broken out in many places. In Greece, which recorded 41℃ on 18 July, fires near the capital, Athens, have destroyed huge areas of forest and thousands of people have been moved to safety. Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires.
In the US, temperatures in Death Valley, California, hit 53℃ on 18 July, close to the hottest ever recorded on Earth. On 16 July, the US National Weather Service issued warnings in parts of the country, affecting more than 80 million people.
Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave. This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK.
The heatwave in Europe is being caused by a weather pattern that has stopped the air from moving very much. That means the hot, dry weather has got stuck and temperatures have kept rising. Earth is also experiencing a natural climate pattern called El Nino(厄尔尼诺), which causes the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm up more than usual. This can lead to hot weather around the world. Temperatures in some parts of Europe were expected to fall on 20 July.
12. What suggestion did the Italian government give to avoid high temperatures?
A. Provide free swimming pools to keep young people cool.
B. Wear thick clothes to prevent the invasion of heat.
C. Drink enough amounts of coffee to keep the mind clear.
D. Don’t go outdoors during high temperature periods.
13. What do we know about the wildfires in Greece?
A. The fires were mainly caused by people.
B. The heatwaves fueled the spread of wildfires.
C. The fires had already killed a thousand people.
D. The entire forest has been destroyed into ruins.
14. What prevented the UK from experiencing the heatwaves of Europe?
A. Different weather patterns. B. Different geographic locations.
C. Global El Nino phenomenon. D. The effect of the Pacific Ocean.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The hottest city on record in the world has finally emerged.
B. The hot weather caused by heatwaves is coming to an end.
C. Heatwaves swept across Europe and America except the UK.
D. The El Nino phenomenon led to the global high temperatures.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了热浪袭击欧洲以及各地政府采取的措施。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier. In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool.(意大利政府要求人们穿亚麻布(一种轻薄的材料),并在上午10点至下午6点之间呆在室内。政府要求人们多喝水,但避免饮酒、碳酸饮料和咖啡,因为它们会让你感到更渴。在该国首都罗马,70岁以上的人可以免费去游泳池帮助他们保持凉爽)”可知,意大利政府建议高温时期不要到户外活动。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires.(热浪会使火灾恶化,因为炎热的天气会使植物干燥,从而助长火灾)”可知,热浪助长了野火的蔓延。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave. This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK.(尽管许多欧洲国家的气温很高,但英国并没有经历热浪。这是因为不同的天气模式给英国带来了降雨和较低的温度)”可知,不同的天气模式使英国没有经历欧洲的热浪。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃. A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather. The heat is expected to continue until the end of July.(热浪袭击了欧洲许多国家,使气温超过40℃。热浪是指长期异常炎热的天气。预计高温将持续到7月底)”以及第二段的“The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier.

Her budget was tight, and her head was full of questions. In the previous two years, McCall had lost her husband to cancer, and their 21-year-old grandson to violence. And a workplace accident had left McCall partially disabled and unable to work.
“I’m still looking for a place in the world,” says McCall. “I was married for almost 43years. I’m not sure where I’m supposed to be.” But even as everything changed around her, the future held one certainty: She’d have her two cats, Tucker and a 20-pound cat that she calls Fat Cat. The companionship and the routine of having to care for the animals were a lifeline when all else was turned upside down. “Honestly, after all the deaths, I was ready to give up,” says McCall. “If it hadn’t been for those two cats, I don’t think I would’ve made it.”
McCall planned to spend the night in Cleveland and drive on. But Tucker had other ideas. When McCall returned from breakfast the next morning, ready to pack up and hit the road again, the big black and white cat was gone from her hotel room. Panicked, she searched along the busy road for hours, hoping Tucker hadn’t been hit by a car. But he was nowhere to be found. As night fell, McCall realized she had to go. She could not afford to stay another night. Heartbroken, she got in her car and got back on the road.
“I’ d just been through all this tragedy. And now I’d lost Tucker,” she recalled. “We drove off with Fat Cat, crying all the way. Where’s my dear Tucker? I thought he was gone forever.”
The next day, Lillard, 27, went to wash the back windows of her shop, just down the road from the hotel where McCall had stayed.

【答案】
Suddenly, Lillard noticed some noises coming from the dustbin. Curious, she approached it and peered inside. To her surprise, there was a big black and white cat, looking scared and weak. It was Tucker! He had apparently been trapped in the dustbin all night. Lillard felt a pang of pity for the poor creature. She carefully reached in and gently lifted Tucker out. The cat, though a bit shaken, seemed to recognize that he was being rescued. Lillard decided she had to find its owner. She checked Tucker’s collar and found a tag with a phone number on it. Without hesitation, she called the number.
On hearing Tucker’s voice on the phone, McCall couldn’t contain her excitement. Her heart leaped with joy. “Is that really you, Tucker?” she cried out, tears streaming down her face. She had been in such despair after losing him, thinking she’d never see her beloved cat again. Lillard explained how she had found Tucker and assured McCall that he was safe. McCall was over the moon. She thanked Lillard over and over again, her voice filled with gratitude. “You don’t know what this means to me,” she said. “Tucker is like family to me. I can’t thank you enough.” She quickly made arrangements to turn back and pick up Tucker. When she finally held Tucker in her arms again, it was as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
