Barcelona ’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that ’s correct. All 2, 292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater ’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini ’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns, ” he shares. “We don ’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do. ”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren ’t a passive audience—even if they weren ’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu ’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
24. What was the special part of the concert
A. It had only 2, 292 seats.
B. It made the world fall in horror.
C. It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
25. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants
A. Barcelona.
B. Eugeno Ampudia.
C. The Gran Teatre del Liceu.
D. The Uceli Quartet.
26. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with
A. We didn ’t do very well in dealing with nature.
B. The healthcare workers were more important.
C. The plants should have the equal rights.
D. We did everything in a wrong way.
27. In which part of a magazine can this text be read
A. Daily Hero.
B. Teens ’ Life.
C. Art Around the World.
D. Animals and Plants.

A musical, School of Rock, which is played at the Winter Garden Theatre, is based on the 2003 hit movie starring Jack Black and opens on Broadway(百老汇).
“The central message of the story, ” the show ’s composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, said recently, “is about the driving force of music. ” Lloyd Webber, who is behind such Broadway hits as Phantom of the Opera and Cats, runs a music education foundation. He is allowing schools to license the musical while it ’s still on Broadway.
School of Rock tells the story of Dewey Finn, an ambitious rock star played by Alex Brightman. When Finn ’s musical career hits a dead end, he gets a job as a teacher. While in the classroom, he encourages his fifth graders to form a rock band.
All of the actors play their own instruments during the performance. “If you say that you can do it, and you work hard enough, then you can do it, ” said Evie Dolan, who learned to play bass for the role of Katie.
While the musical is very similar to the movie, lyricist Glenn Slater added new songs, including You ’re in the Band and Stick It to the Man.
“I really love You ’re in the Band, ” said the musical ’s director, Laurence Connor, “I love that moment when the audience sees the children pick up their instruments for the first time and really play, and find rock music for the first time. ”
Bobby Mackenzie, who plays Tomika, said that the experience of expressing herself through music has been a pleasing one. When asked what advice she has for ambitious musicians, she said, “If it is really what you want to do, go for it. Work as hard as you can. ”
28. What is the central message of the story about

It ’s a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus (校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment (器材) and, of course, the students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There ’s no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won ’t be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out! If campus visits aren ’t going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you ’d like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don ’t like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn ’t know unless you actually visit.
Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at College Week Live. It ’s a chance to chat online with admissions (招生) officers, students, and college counselors (顾问), and it won ’t cost you a penny! You can register (注册) for its online college fair at . While visiting an online college fair can ’t take the place of an actual campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make a wise decision about which colleges you ’d like to attend.
32. What does the writer intend to do by writing this text
A. To call on students to visit colleges for pleasure.

Concerts should be a fun and enjoyable occasion for everyone attending them, including the musicians. No matter what type of concert one is attending, he is still expected to follow the rules of concert etiquette(礼仪). 36
Classical music concerts are often events when concert etiquette is considered to be very important. One should generally arrive a few minutes before the show starts, so he can be in his seat at the beginning of the first musical performance. If he arrives late, it may be considered rude to walk in and take his seat in the middle of a musical performance. 37 In this way, he will not influence other audiences while the music is being played.
38 Take jazz concerts for example. People are usually not criticized (批评) for making a small amount of noise, as long as it is not troubling other audiences. For example, they may talk quietly during a performance.
Rock and heavy metal concert etiquette is very relaxed. 39 However, audiences are still expected to show some good manners during a performance. Also, rock concerts are often very crowded, particularly in the areas surrounding the stage. 40 But one should still pay attention to his surroundings. Stepping on someone ’s foot repeatedly may cause a fight as well.
A. This will usually be announced before the concert begins.
B. Instead, he should wait for one song to end before taking his seat.
C. Rock concert goers, on the other hand, can usually get a little louder.
D. People are not usually discouraged from talking at these types of concerts.
E. In large groups of people like this, it is not unusual to touch others at times.
F. Concert etiquette for other types of concerts is usually a little more relaxed.

One Saturday morning, I got a call from my aunt. She told me that she had to go with my uncle on a business trip for the day, and she wondered if I could look after my little 6-year-old cousin, Max. I knew that for them, leaving their dearest son for a day was the last thing in the whole world they would do, because they were what is known as “helicopter parents”, who keep watching everything their kids do. As a high school student, I knew exactly that children who were brought up by helicopter parents could end up having many problems and I hoped I could do something to improve the situation, so I accepted her request. Actually, I was honored to be trusted by such parents.
When I arrived there, my aunt and uncle were just ready to go out. The last thing my aunt said to me before they left was “Don ’t let him hurt himself while we are away. ” She repeated it several times until she thought I took it seriously. After they left, I tried to teach Max to play some games that might be against my aunt ’s will, but failed. Max seemed not to be interested, and even frightened. I didn ’t want to push him, so I decided to slow it down.
Around lunch time, Max asked me what was for lunch. I said, “I don ’t know, what do you want ” He said, “Can you cook scrambled eggs ” I replied, “Of course I can! ” “Well, ” said Max, “I want some. ” I asked him if he could cook. He looked at me in amazement, and said, “Of course not. Mom won ’t allow me to approach the kitchen. She thinks I ’ll be burnt if I try to do that, but I think it would be amazing to cook what I like on my own. ”
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Suddenly, I had an idea.

Human beings are smart. However, it seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become more and more important assistants in their lives, reported news website Record Japan on Oct. 22. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities, said the website.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there ’s no need to dial a number or look at it again.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because navigation apps can guide people anywhere they want to go. These apps can even find shortest routes for you and avoid traffic jams. But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (无能的). People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As we ’re too addicted to what ’s happening in the virtual world, some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can ’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.
In August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours ’ screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared. The children made an average of 14. 02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic (电子的) products, they made only 9. 41 mistakes on average. “If you ’re not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills, ” concluded professor Yalda Uhls from the research.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents ’ numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic devices because we are social creatures. We need device-free time.

Barcelona ’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that ’s correct. All 2, 292 seats at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater ’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini ’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns, ” he shares. “We don ’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do. ”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren ’t a passive audience—even if they weren ’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu ’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.

All of the actors play their own instruments during the performance. “If you say that you can do it, and you work hard enough, then you can do it, ” said Evie Dolan, who learned to play bass for the role of Katie.
While the musical is very similar to the movie, lyricist Glenn Slater added new songs, including You ’re in the Band and Stick It to the Man.
“I really love You ’re in the Band, ” said the musical ’s director, Laurence Connor, “I love that moment when the audience sees the children pick up their instruments for the first time and really play, and find rock music for the first time. ”
Bobby Mackenzie, who plays Tomika, said that the experience of expressing herself through music has been a pleasing one. When asked what advice she has for ambitious musicians, she said, “If it is really what you want to do, go for it. Work as hard as you can. ”

It ’s a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus (校园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment (器材) and, of course, the students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.
There ’s no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won ’t be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out! If campus visits aren ’t going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you ’d like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don ’t like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn ’t know unless you actually visit.
Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at College Week Live. It ’s a chance to chat online with admissions (招生) officers, students, and college counselors (顾问), and it won ’t cost you a penny! You can register (注册) for its online college fair at . While visiting an online college fair can ’t take the place of an actual campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make a wise decision about which colleges you ’d like to attend.

Concerts should be a fun and enjoyable occasion for everyone attending them, including the musicians. No matter what type of concert one is attending, he is still expected to follow the rules of concert etiquette(礼仪). 36
Classical music concerts are often events when concert etiquette is considered to be very important. One should generally arrive a few minutes before the show starts, so he can be in his seat at the beginning of the first musical performance. If he arrives late, it may be considered rude to walk in and take his seat in the middle of a musical performance. 37 In this way, he will not influence other audiences while the music is being played.
38 Take jazz concerts for example. People are usually not criticized (批评) for making a small amount of noise, as long as it is not troubling other audiences. For example, they may talk quietly during a performance.
Rock and heavy metal concert etiquette is very relaxed. 39 However, audiences are still expected to show some good manners during a performance. Also, rock concerts are often very crowded, particularly in the areas surrounding the stage. 40 But one should still pay attention to his surroundings. Stepping on someone ’s foot repeatedly may cause a fight as well.
A. This will usually be announced before the concert begins.
B. Instead, he should wait for one song to end before taking his seat.
C. Rock concert goers, on the other hand, can usually get a little louder.
D. People are not usually discouraged from talking at these types of concerts.
E. In large groups of people like this, it is not unusual to touch others at times.
F. Concert etiquette for other types of concerts is usually a little more relaxed.
G. And the concert etiquette can be different, depending on what type of concert it is.

(2021·丹东高一检测)
One Saturday morning, I got a call from my aunt. She told me that she had to go with my uncle on a business trip for the day, and she wondered if I could look after my little 6-year-old cousin, Max. I knew that for them, leaving their dearest son for a day was the last thing in the whole world they would do, because they were what is known as “helicopter parents”, who keep watching everything their kids do. As a high school student, I knew exactly that children who were brought up by helicopter parents could end up having many problems and I hoped I could do something to improve the situation, so I accepted her request. Actually, I was honored to be trusted by such parents.
When I arrived there, my aunt and uncle were just ready to go out. The last thing my aunt said to me before they left was “Don ’t let him hurt himself while we are away. ” She repeated it several times until she thought I took it seriously. After they left, I tried to teach Max to play some games that might be against my aunt ’s will, but failed. Max seemed not to be interested, and even frightened. I didn ’t want to push him, so I decided to slow it down.
Around lunch time, Max asked me what was for lunch. I said, “I don ’t know, what do you want ” He said, “Can you cook scrambled eggs ” I replied, “Of course I can! ” “Well, ” said Max, “I want some. ” I asked him if he could cook. He looked at me in amazement, and said, “Of course not. Mom won ’t allow me to approach the kitchen. She thinks I ’ll be burnt if I try to do that, but I think it would be amazing to cook what I like on my own. ”
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
Suddenly, I had an idea.

Suddenly, I had an idea. Why not let him start with cooking I was quite good at cooking, so I thought this might be a good opportunity to teach Max a new skill. I told him my idea. Max jumped up and down when he heard that. Due to his height, I pulled up a chair and he stood on it. With my instructions and encouragement, he did well and became confident. Though we made the kitchen messy, we were satisfied with our work. We thought supper would be better.
When my aunt and uncle returned, they saw Max cooking dinner in the kitchen. As I expected, she was shocked. At first, she was worried, fearing her son would fall off the chair or touch something hot. But seeing how well Max was cooking the meal, she was no longer worried. The moment Max saw her, he stopped and shouted happily, “Mom, I can cook now. ” My aunt felt really proud. “Thank you. I never let Max do anything he really wanted to because I feared he would get hurt. Now I should let him just go for it. ”

Ⅱ. 概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Human beings are smart. However, it seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become more and more important assistants in their lives, reported news website Record Japan on Oct. 22. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities, said the website.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there ’s no need to dial a number or look at it again.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because navigation apps can guide people anywhere they want to go. These apps can even find shortest routes for you and avoid traffic jams. But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (无能的). People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As we ’re too addicted to what ’s happening in the virtual world, some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can ’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.
In August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours ’ screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared. The children made an average of 14. 02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic (电子的) products, they made only 9. 41 mistakes on average. “If you ’re not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills, ” concluded professor Yalda Uhls from the research.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents ’ numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic devices because we are social creatures. We need device-free time.

Smart phones are playing an increasingly important role in people ’s life, but they are also depriving people of three basic abilities. For one thing, some people lose the ability to remember telephone numbers. Secondly, some people lose their sense of direction. Third, some people lose their social skills. Fortunately, people can reclaim these abilities by returning to the way they used to be. Most importantly, we need some time without cell phones.
