A man sat at a metro station in Washington D.C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded(鼓掌), nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
24. Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing?
A. People were in a hurry. B. They were not interested in music.
C It was too cold in the subway. D. The performance was not good enough.
25. What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist?
A. They would applaud for the performance. B. They would urge them to continue walking.
C. They would stop to enjoy the music. D. They would give him some money.
26. Why did Joshua Bell play in the metro station?
A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music.
C. To made an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance.
27. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us the importance of music. B. To show us how to play music.
C. To set us to think about our life. D. To report a subway performance.

Gong Linna,a famous Chinese musician and founder of Chinese New Art Music,put her music teaching methods into practice for the first time at the Tracing Roots(寻根)practice concert of the Affiliated High School of Peking University on May.
The first song of the concert,Search High and Low,refers to the classical poem Li Sao, "The road ahead will be long.I shall search high and low." "It's arranged to be sung in the beginning by all performers,showing that we should all search high and low for our roots," Gong Linna says.
To explore the education and popularization of Chinese music,in 2017,Gong Linna established a research and development team,which includes musicologist(音乐学家),Du Yaxiong,and music historian,Zhao Zhongming,to discuss her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.
Gong Linna believed that popularization of Chinese music should depend on primary and secondary schools rather than music schools.The children's strong love for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong Linna, "When singing,they are completely concentrated on the music.Music brings light and richness to one's spiritual world.So,learning to sing is never about passing examinations,but about enjoying the music."
Lu Yueming,a teacher of the school's art center,said, "The children worked really hard and kept in mind Gong Linna's instructions(讲授).Seeing their performance,I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music.I hope more Chinese students can benefit from the teaching practice in the near future."
"Seeing the children perform my pieces,I realized I should write more songs for them," Lao Luo,Gong Linna's husband said proudly. "It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs,and they really need content related to Chinese culture." Speaking about her future plans,Gong Linna told the reporter she would like to further popularize her teaching methods and Chinese music.
"Children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music.Only when you know about your own sounds,can you have cultural confidence," she said at the end of the interview.
28. Why is the song Search High and Low arranged first at the concert?
A. To stress the subject of the concert. B. To recommend the song to the public.
C. To show Gong Linna's teaching method is practical. D. To prove Gong Linna is the best performer of the song.
29. Which group will Gong Linna choose to popularize the Chinese music?
A. Students of music schools. B. Officials of the government.
C. Primary and secondary schools. D. Famous musicians across the country.
30. What can be learned about Gong Linna's music teaching practice?
A. It is refused by her husband. B. It is well received at college.
C. It helps students love Chinese music. D. It gets support from local government.
31. What does Gong Linna expect to do in the future?
A. To write more songs for children. B. To perform concerts around the world.
C. To establish more music training centers. D. To promote her teaching methods among children

In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?
A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly in electronic form.
C. They are limited in number. D. They are used for public exhibition.
33. What does Daru’s study focus on?
A. Threatened species. B. Physical specimens. C. Observational data. D. Mobile applications.
34. What has led to the biases according to the study?
A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C. Improper way of sampling. D. Unreliable data collection devices.
35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?
A. Review data from certain areas. B. Hire experts to check the records.
C. Confirm the identity of the users. D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.

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。
Nowadays, for many people, buying a house or flat is just too expensive. However, the total amount of rent paid by tenants Britain in 2017 rose to more than £50 billion-more than double the level of ten years prior. Consequently, a lot choose to share the flat. 36
The pros? People rent a room and share the kitchen, living room and bathroom to save money. 37 You may not even need to ask; just leave an IOU. Additionally, there’s the fact that you gain access to their social networks. Living with people means meeting their friends, who may then become your friends. 38 Due to the nature of communal living, you’re not just dealing with your own life events. Most likely, there will, always be a shoulder to cry on when you need one. But don’t forget to pay back when they need it.
Now the con. 39 In most cases, the kitchen, for example, will be divided up into designated shelves and areas. Worse, many people may not respect these boundaries. You might well come home to find someone steal your milk or shower gel, and no one owns up to it. Furthermore, there are the unexpected guests. If a flat mate forgets to keep you informed of a party they’re throwing and it can be challenging for you to have a quiet night.
40 Some people prefer their own space while others thrive in a social environment. Regardless, for many who lack the means to buy their own property, a flat-sharing is, and will continue to be, a necessity.
A. Lastly there’s the emotional support.
B. Those flat-sharing can share the secrets.
C. To start with, do you lack private space?
D. There’s limited storage space, for a start.
E. Whether the pros outweigh the cons depends.
F. Then what are the pros and cons of flat-sharing?
G. living with others means that you can pool your resources

World Population Day
We are living in a full house, and it 56 (get) fuller. With 8.2 billion people and counting, World Population Day highlights how that growth affects cities, food, and the future. First 57 (observe) in 1989, the day focuses on how unchecked population growth affects sustainability. The event was inspired by Five Billion Day in 1987, 58 marked the approximate date when the global population hit that milestone. As 59 (city) expand, green spaces shrink, and agriculture competes for limited land and water resources. But there is a way forward—investing in education, improving access 60 healthcare, and building smarter cities can balance growth with sustainability.
On a global scale, India remains the most populous country in 2025 with over 1.46 billion people, followed by China at 1.41 billion. The United States trails with around 339 million,61 its growth is slowing and aging populations are becoming a new challenge. Tokyo, the world's 62(large) city with around 37.2 million people,63 (illustrate) the realities of high-density urban life: overcrowded spaces, transport congestion, 64 rising demand for services. World Population Day is more than a head count—it's a call for better planning and long-term thinking to ensure future generations can thrive on 65planet with finite resources.

When I started karate(空手道) class a few years ago, I didn't know a single person.I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part!
But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, "That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you're so good at it."
"You must have confused me with someone else,"I replied."I'm not good at any of it."
"In that case, I'm in trouble,"she joked,""because you're the one I stand behind and copy in class."
I laughed. "Seriously?"
"Seriously!"she laughed,too.After that, we became great friends.However,a few months later when Abigail's mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time dragging myself to karate for a while after that I missed Abigail so much.
Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation.
"It must be weird(怪异的)being the new one in class."I said.
"So weird!"said Ava."You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo(柔道馆)."
I suddenly realized she'd been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate.
"This is so cool."I said,giving Abigail a huge hug."What are you doing here?"
"My mom's job in New York didn't work out,"she explained."So we got to move back."
"That's the best news ever!"I said."You have to meet my dear friend Ava.And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail."
I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
