Although the piano keys come in black and white, the music it produces is full of color. Chinese pianist Tian Jiaxin explores creative performances and crossover cooperations with traditional Chinese music, with the hope of bringing the music of the East to the Western world.
Tian attended regular school instead of studying at a music school in her childhood. This enabled her to absorb China’s rich culture and understand the bigger picture later in her pursuit of a career as a professional pianist. “There’s so much to grasp when explaining a piece. What we’re conveying is not only the notes, but the culture behind the music,” Tian said.
As a Chinese pianist Tian is looking to add more depth to her performances, stressing the contrast between Eastern and Western cultures. “No matter which country I am performing in, I always include Chinese music in my program. With Western pieces, I hope to show the world that a female musician from China can perform the music that they are familiar with and love.” Tian says that she believes her mission is to make China heard on a wider stage.
Tian believes that music is developing over time and that music from different ages has its own unique meaning. “I’ve found that people’s understanding of Chinese music is often limited to certain pieces like Jasmine Flower,” Tian said. “However, there are so many great pieces of Chinese music that are unacquainted outside of China. So, I always try to feature both the time-honored classics of Chinese music and the newly created pieces,” she added.
“Chinese music has the magic to cause resonance (共鸣) with the audience and convey the various and deep culture of Chinese civilization,” Tian said.
4 What can we learn about Tian Jiaxin in the first three paragraphs?
A. She prepared well before performing. B. She adapted unknown Chinese pieces.
C. She went to music school at a young age. D. She aimed at making China heard widely.
5. Which of the following best explains “unacquainted” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Unpopular. B. Unknown. C. Unacceptable. D. Unlimited.
6. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Pianist Taking a New Step into Western Music B. A Pianist Promoting Chinese Traditional Cultures
C. A Pianist Combining Chinese Music with Western Keys D. A Pianist Creating New Pieces of Chinese Music
C
A new study confirms what many have expected and offers a bit of hope: stress, or pressure, can lead to gray hair, and taking stress away appears to reverse (逆转) the process.
Study co-author Martin Picard was amazed at the number of people sharing stories of their white hair growing out in color. “People were saying, I saw this when I was younger. My gray hair went back to dark after this event had happened and people said I was crazy because it was not possible. Thank you for confirming that I’m not crazy,” said Picard.
Picard and his team examined 397 hairs from 14 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 9 to 65. All had some gray hairs or two-colored hair.
They described periods of extreme stress during the last year. The researchers then looked at tiny parts of their hair-a record that Picard compared to the rings of a tree — to infer what happened to the pigment (色素) during those troubled times. It turned out the increase in stress is closely connected with hair graying. But when they told researchers about a reduction in stress, some hairs got their pigment again.
Today, an unfriendly email or a controlling boss can cause a stress response. These changes help you continue to exist in difficult or dangerous situations, according to the authors. “The stress response is necessary because it helps ensure survival in evolutionary (进化的) terms, but there’s a cost to being stressed and the cost is that maybe some of the cells (细胞) age faster,” Picard said.
While hairs are growing, cells receive signals from the body, including stress hormones (chemicals produced by your body), the authors write. These hormones may cause changes in hair pigmentation and lead to gray hair. “But don’t put away the hair dye (染发剂) just yet,” Picard said. The effect is possible for only a certain age window and influences just some hair cells on someone’s head. So if you’ve had gray hair for many years, a long relaxing vacation won’t help it start growing black again.
7. How did people react to the story of gray hair turning black?
A. They disbelieved it. B. They were angry about it.
C. They were confident about it. D. They paid little attention to it.
8. What were the volunteers required to do in the study?
A. Report increases or reductions in stress. B. Compare their hairs to the rings of a tree.
C. Do relaxing activities like going on vacation. D. Draw their gray or two-colored hair.
9. What do the researchers say about stress response?
A. It will damage human health. B. It helps humans survive danger.
C. It may make cells grow much faster. D. It increases the chances of color returning.
10. Which statement might Picard agree with?
A. Common hair dyes are likely to cause gray hair. B. It is actually impossible for us to turn gray hair dark.
C. Reversal of graying may happen but in a limited way. D. Stress hormones may reverse the process of graying.

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“I’ve found that people’s understanding of Chinese music is often limited to certain pieces like Jasmine Flower(我发现人们对中国音乐的理解往往局限于《茉莉花》这样的曲目。)”可知,前文提到人们对中国音乐的理解常局限于像《茉莉花》这样的某些曲子,以及划线单词句中“However, there are so many great pieces of Chinese music that are …outside of China.( 然而,有很多伟大的中国音乐作品在中国以外并……。)”由此可知,这里表示有很多中国音乐作品在国外不被了解,“unacquainted”意思与B选项“Unknown(未知的,不为人知的)”相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段“Although the piano keys come in black and white, the music it produces is full of color. Chinese pianist Tian Jiaxin explores creative performances and crossover cooperations with traditional Chinese music, with the hope of bringing the music of the East to the Western world.(尽管钢琴的琴键只有黑白两色,但其奏响的音乐却充满了斑斓色彩。中国钢琴家田佳鑫致力于探索富有创意的演奏形式以及与中国传统音乐的跨界合作,希望能将东方音乐带向西方世界)”可知,文章主要讲述中国钢琴家田佳鑫探索将中国传统音乐与钢琴表演相结合,希望把东方音乐带到西方世界。C 选项“A Pianist Combining Chinese Music with Western Keys(一位将中国音乐与西方琴键相结合的钢琴家)”准确概括了文章内容,是最合适的标题。故选C项。

These changes help you continue to exist in difficult or dangerous situations, according to the authors. “The stress response is necessary because it helps ensure survival in evolutionary (进化的) terms, but there’s a cost to being stressed and the cost is that maybe some of the cells (细胞) age faster,” Picard said.
While hairs are growing, cells receive signals from the body, including stress hormones (chemicals produced by your body), the authors write. These hormones may cause changes in hair pigmentation and lead to gray hair. “But don’t put away the hair dye (染发剂) just yet,” Picard said. The effect is possible for only a certain age window and influences just some hair cells on someone’s head. So if you’ve had gray hair for many years, a long relaxing vacation won’t help it start growing black again.
7. How did people react to the story of gray hair turning black?
A. They disbelieved it. B. They were angry about it.
C. They were confident about it. D. They paid little attention to it.
8. What were the volunteers required to do in the study?
A. Report increases or reductions in stress. B. Compare their hairs to the rings of a tree.
C. Do relaxing activities like going on vacation. D. Draw their gray or two-colored hair.
9. What do the researchers say about stress response?
A. It will damage human health. B. It helps humans survive danger.
C. It may make cells grow much faster. D. It increases the chances of color returning.
10. Which statement might Picard agree with?
A. Common hair dyes are likely to cause gray hair. B. It is actually impossible for us to turn gray hair dark.
C. Reversal of graying may happen but in a limited way. D. Stress hormones may reverse the process of graying.
【答案】7. A 8. A 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍压力导致白发及减压可逆转该过程研究发现与相关情况。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““People were saying, I saw this when I was younger. My gray hair went back to dark after this event had happened and people said I was crazy because it was not possible. Thank you for confirming that I’m not crazy,” said Picard. (皮卡德说:“人们纷纷表示,我年轻时就见过这种情况。某件事发生后,我的白头发又变回了黑色,可当时人们都说我疯了,因为这根本不可能。感谢你们证实了我没疯。”)”可知,人们对白发变黑的说法持怀疑态度,不相信会有这种情况。故选A项。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They described periods of extreme stress during the last year ... But when they told researchers about a reduction in stress, some hairs got their pigment again.(他们描述了去年经历的极端压力时期……但当他们告诉研究人员压力减轻时,一些头发又恢复了色素。)”可知,志愿者需要向研究人员报告压力的增减情况。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的““The stress response is necessary because it helps ensure survival in evolutionary (进化的) terms, but there’s a cost to being stressed and the cost is that maybe some of the cells (细胞) age faster,” Picard said. (皮卡德说:“从进化的角度来看,压力反应是必要的,因为它有助于保障生存,但承受压力是有代价的,这个代价可能就是某些细胞衰老得更快。”)”可知,研究人员认为压力反应有助于人类在危险中生存。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“The effect is possible for only a certain age window and influences just some hair cells on someone’s head. So if you’ve had gray hair for many years, a long relaxing vacation won’t help it start growing black again.(这种效果只在特定的年龄窗口内可能出现,并且只影响人头上的部分毛囊细胞。所以,如果你已经有多年的白发了,一个长时间的放松假期也不会让它重新变黑。)”可知,Picard认为白发逆转的情况是有可能发生的,但存在一定的限制。故选C项。

Now, as a professor at the China University of Geosciences in Beijing, I’m active on social media and often share updates on my research into dinosaur footprints.

【答案】31. which
32. in 33. called
34. its 35. sent
36. to know
37. photos 38. carefully
39. different
40 the
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者自幼对恐龙感兴趣,去年7月收到设计师Ou Hongtao的信息,他在乐山一餐馆院子发现疑似恐龙脚印,作者前往确认,这是乐山首次在市区发现恐龙脚印。
【31题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我在潮州长大,这是一个中国南方的小城市,四面环山和大海,我一直对恐龙很感兴趣。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限定性定语从句,先行词是 Chaozhou,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【32题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我在潮州长大,这是一个中国南方的小城市,四面环山和大海,我一直对恐龙很感兴趣。“be interested in”是固定短语,意为“对……感兴趣”。故填in。
【33题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:去年7月11日,我收到了设计师Ou Hongtao的一条微博。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,“call”和“designer”之间是被动关系,即 “被叫做Ou Hongtao 的设计师”,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
【34题详解】
考查代词。句意:他当时正在乐山一家餐馆的院子里吃饭,注意到石头地板上有椭圆形的坑,乐山位于四川南部,以古山闻名。这里需要一个形容词性物主代词修饰“ancient mountains”,指乐山的古老山脉,所以用 it的形容词性物主代词 its。故填its。
【35题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:他给我发了一张照片。根据时间状语“On 11 July last year”可知,该句时态为一般过去时,所以动词send 要用过去式 sent。故填sent。
【36题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:他从我的博客上了解到恐龙脚印,想知道我的看法。“want to do sth.”是固定用法,意为“想要做某事”,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to know。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:我先是让Ou Hongtao多给我发几张照片,然后决定订一张机票,飞到乐山亲自去看坑。“a few”表示“几个,一些”,后面接可数名词复数,所以 photo 要用复数形式 photos。故填photos。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:我径直走到院子里,小心翼翼地走近这些坑。修饰动词“approached” 要用副词,“careful”的副词是 carefully,所以填 carefully。故填carefully。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些坑有两种不同的形状,一种代表前脚,另一种代表后脚。“shapes”是名词,前面要用形容词修饰,“difference”的形容词是 different,意为“不同的”。故填different。
【40题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:这是首次在乐山市区发现恐龙脚印。分析句子可知,“This was the first time that...”是固定句型,意为“这是第一次……”,所以填定冠词 the。故填the。
第三节 完成句子 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jeff,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling troubled about watching short videos. Actually, they can be both helpful and harmful.
On the one hand, short videos can broaden our horizons and provide quick entertainment. Some educational videos are even useful for learning. On the other hand, spending too much time on them wastes energy and harms productivity. Worse still, constant screen time may affect mental health and focus.
To stay in control, you’d better set a time limit each day and choose meaningful content. Also, try outdoor activities or hobbies to take your mind off them.
Hope this helps!
Yours,
Li Hua
