This July, when Liu was informed that the music festival her band was attending had some trouble and was about to be cancelled, she decided to take over the job of hosting it. “I thought to myself, how hard could hosting be？” What's more, she turned this festival into a charity event by raising money for a stray dog rescue station in Anhui Province. Liu became a volunteer for the station by coincidence two years ago. “I realized how much money it could take to save those dogs. This music festival is exactly the opportunity I need to raise people's awareness of protecting stray dogs and donate money to them，” Liu said. Liu and her two friends, who are also members of the band, needed to find sponsorships, set up the venue (活动场地) and contact bands of high schools in Beijing to perform within two weeks.“Negotiating with sponsors was tricky sometimes as we needed to figure out what they wanted and trade resources we had，” Liu recalled. They managed to cooperate with companies such as a study-abroad agency to cover the expense as much as possible. Many parents also “sponsored” them with their homemade food. The weather forecast had said that the day of the music festival, Aug. 6, was going to be rainy.“We were so worried at first. But then a miracle happened: It only rained a little toward the end, helping us to sell the umbrellas we had prepared，” Liu said. Audiences were mainly friends, parents and students. “Because of the pandemic, the audiences were limited to no more than 200 people, which also pushed us to come up with ways of earning money other than tickets，” Liu explained. Eventually, they managed to raise 50，000 yuan from rain gear, food, and accessories they had designed. Having been looked down upon many times by professional bands in Beijing, Liu also sees this festival as a way of telling the world that high school bands are just as good. “I want to run our own music channel. Our love for music will never stop，” Liu said. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刘娃通过一次音乐节来救助流浪狗的故事。 24．What can we learn about Liu Wa? A．She has a strong will and is caring.

The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country's best-known charities: Marie Curie. Marie Curie tries to ensure everyone who has cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fund research into possible cures. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since. The charity was named after Marie Curie, a famous scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity (放射性). Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work which led to the treatment of cancer by the use of chemical substances, the charity decided on the name of Marie Curie. The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a symbol. Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has contributed to the charity, but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of ￡1. The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off. But that doesn't mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在英国，人们会佩戴水仙花来支持Marie Curie这一慈善机构。 28．Why do some British people wear a daffodil?

Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his Tenth Symphony (交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the artist's final composition. Dr. Matthias first came up with the idea to complete the composition in 2019.He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday in December 2020.He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter and Dr. Ahmed, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market. Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven's work. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the Tenth Symphony. The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven's original composition, Ahmed's team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven's Tenth Symphony! The composition was first released on October 9, 2021.Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy (争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process.

However, a terrible car accident made that ambition nearly come to an end overnight in 2011.Sally, then a 15-year-old high school student in California was injured severely in the accident that left her paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. But for Sally, it was just the beginning of new life. Instead of being a barrier, her wheelchair made her more courageous. “I want to prove to my community and to myself that I am still ‘normal’，” she said with a determined look.“Whatever normal means.” In her eyes, normal meant dancing, so Sally did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non-disabled high school dance team.“Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands，” Sally said.“It definitely takes a lot of learning and patience.” After graduation, Sally expanded her dance network to include women who had the same situation as her. She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤), and invited them to dance with her by sharing her determination. “It was such an amazing experience.” Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Sally moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities called DREAM. “I want to show that dance is dance, whether you're walking or you're rolling.” In Sally's dancing team, there was a girl Ella aged 12, who had been feeling depressed since the terrible accident. Having known about the girl's situation, Sally made efforts to seek every chance to help the little girl find back the confidence to live. Thanks to Sally's continuous efforts, the little girl recovered physically and mentally day by day. The other day, an invitation to a national dancing competition arrived. After a heated discussion, they reached an agreement that they would recommend Ella for the competition on behalf of the team. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 On hearing the decision, Ella felt more than worried.__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ The audience stood up and clapped for Ella's excellent performance._______________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ One possible version： On hearing the decision, Ella felt more than worried. She knew that it was their trust in her that made her get the chance to dance on that large stage. So she began to practice hard every day. Whenever she met with problems, she would turn to Sally for help. The competition day came finally, and it was Ella's turn to show herself. Ella controlled her worry and excitement, and danced with gentle elegance and strength. The audience stood up and clapped for Ella's excellent performance. Ella looked around and noticed that Sally and all her teammates were sitting below the stage, with their eyes filled with tears and smiles on their faces. At that moment, Ella knew that she was successful. She was very grateful to Sally and all her teammates. Thanks to their support and belief, she could gain confidence and succeed in dancing at last. She made up her mind to go on this way forever. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
