B A recent story on TikTok showed how two neighbors found companionship (陪伴) and a new spirit in life during COVID-19, thanks to a shared love of the piano. The heartbreaking story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbor playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo Porto is an Italian living in London. He reached out to his neighbor and left a note, saying if he or she could play My Heart Will Go On. The mystery neighbor agreed, suggesting they play together. Over time the music between two complete strangers became a regular weekend engagement(约会). A week later, the pair finally met and “it was better than expected,” shared Lo Porto. The mystery pianist happened to be a78-year-old Polish man named Emil. “He lost his wife in December due to COVID-19 and all he has been left is the piano. And he plays at 2 p.m. every weekend because his wife loved it,” shared Lo Porto. While Emil didn’t want to appear on any of the videos, he did share his thankfulness to Lo Porto for keeping him motivated during a most emotional and lonely time.When the pair offered each other company, Emil also inspired Lo Porto to continue writing his own song. And Emil reported being happier after playing music with Lo Porto and was thankful to those who watched their performance. The bittersweet story shows the unbelievable influence two complete strangers can have on each other. Emil moved out at the end of February. Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Emil, you changed my life. You gave me back my passion (激情)，and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ve been mine too. Bye, Emil.” 4. What happened after Lo Porto left a note for Emil? A. Emil helped with Lo Porto’s studies. B.

They wanted to become famous by posting their music online. 7. What message does the author intend to show in the text? A. We should be independent in difficult times. B. Young people should do their part to help the old. C. We all can be the light of somebody if reaching out. D. People should take some time to enjoy their hobbies. C Nowadays, with the popularity of modern traffic and modern communication means, our world is becoming much smaller. Thus our life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but meanwhile it has brought new problems, the biggest one of which is pollution. For a long time ever since, man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time. 8. What is the reason for the world to become much smaller? A. The rise in pollution. B. Science and technology development. C. The earth is being polluted day and night. D. The earth is blown away by the wind every year. 9. What kind of pollution is it when we “even hear it”? A. Air pollution. B. Rubbish pollution. C. Noise pollution. D. Water pollution. 10. Why is air pollution the most serious pollution? A. It makes much noise. B. It makes us angry more easily. C. It makes our rivers and lakes dirty. D. It’s bad for all living things in the world. 11. What is the writer’s attitude toward stopping pollution? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. D The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think. Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory. Photography “outsources” memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted by the process that we miss the moment altogether. The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo-how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize. However, taking photos can help memory when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has the opposite. When people take the time to take clear pictures, memories become strengthened. Another advantage is that we recall moments more exactly with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened. Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further. 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To make us recall similar experience. C. To show the interest in taking photos. D. To call on readers not to take photos. 13. Why does photography “outsource” memories? A. Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize. B. Photos are more detailed than memories. C People depend more on photos to remember than their brains. D. Many sources influence people’s memories during photo-taking 14. What should be talked about next? A. When taking photos is better. B. When distraction is likely to happen. C. How to stay focused while taking photos. D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Photography Does Help to Memories B. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly C. Too Many Photos Taken Result in Poor Memories D. The Fewer Photos We Take, the Better We Will Remember 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some people learn a second language easily.
