(B) I’m always interested in music. I wanted to be a famous singer when I was young. Don’t laugh. Although my parents are both workers, my mother bought me a violin. Sadly, I didn’t practice the violin often. My violin teacher shook his head and said I had the rhythm (节奏) of a duck. I didn’t play the violin until I visited a friend in Beijing. He gave me his favorite violin as a gift. Then the chance of a lifetime came. I practiced playing my favorite songs on the violin. I started slowly, and learned step by step by following online videos. I found that counting time was very difficult for me, so I gave it up. I just listened to the songs, paid attention to their rhythms and tried my best to follow them. Day by day, I practiced the songs every morning—until I found I could play them well. Finally, I gave a violin performance! When I hit the first chord (和弦), my music was greeted with loud cheers. It was my best memory of last year. Another new year has arrived. Why not set yourself a clear goal and go for it? Never let anyone tell you what you are not good at. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A.

(C) The Eye of the Sahara is one of Earth’s most amazing natural wonders. It’s a special place in the desert of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks, leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles; each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A. A football field. B. A bright star. C. A colorful pizza. D. A deep ocean. 12. According to the passage, how did wind and rain help form the Eye of the Sahara? A. They made the ground rise up. B. They created colorful circles directly. C. They brought sand to cover the rocks. D. They wore away soft rocks and left hard ones. 13. Why can’t many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily? A. Because it’s far from cities. B. Because it’s too small to find. C. Because it’s always full of water. D. Because it’s too hot to get there. 14. What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Climb. B. Hike. C. Develop. D. Protect. 15. What can we infer (推断) from the passage about the future of the Eye of the Sahara? A. It will soon disappear because of sandstorms. B. Scientists and visitors may help protect it. C. It will become a busy city center. D. No one is interested in studying it.
