Maestro Martins, from Brazil, fell in love with the piano when he learned to play at the age of eight. He then went on to become a famous classical pianist. His life was devoted to the piano. However, in 1965, this musician suffered an injury that left him with damage in one arm. Martins could play with one hand but suffered from a neurological (神经系统的) problem. This resulted in a lack of good control of his hands.
Determined to recover and play the piano, he went through 24 operations. None of the procedures worked. Yet he pursued his love of music and he became a composer. Martins travelled the world as a composer with some of the best European and American orchestras (管弦乐队).
His life then took a beautiful turn. Industrial designer Ubiratan Bizarro Costa came up with a solution for him, presenting Martins with a pair of bionic (仿生的) gloves. The black gloves Save iron rods made with a 3D printer, so after a finger is lowered onto a piano key, the gloves assist it to spring back.
With tears streaming down his face, Martins felt true gratitude as he started to play his favorite piano. “To be able to use all ten fingers again more than 20 years later is a miracle for me at the age of 80,” Martins said. It gave Martins pause to simply appreciate one’s fingers for all the work, creativity, and skills they could offer. And now Martins9 dream has actually come true; he has been reunited with his beloved piano; his fingers are now flying across the keys merrily.
As for Bizarro, he plans to produce and export his bionic gloves. His discovery may renew hope for many people around the world. Some people will be able to use their fingers once again. His invention will show how emotional, creative, and inspiring one’s fingers can actually be.

Recently, a growing body of research suggests that gaming could be an unbelievably useful educational tool which offers a perfect learning environment to language learners. In theory, there are just enough challenges, just enough support, and just enough room for players to be themselves. Most importantly, students have enough freedom to decide the learning process.
Learners in general have a high level of outside motivation when they game. In other words, when students really want to get a level rise and rewards, they may force themselves to become better at communicating so they can level up quicker. Gamers are often encouraged to repeat levels several times so that they can perform better
This is important because if the commonly held theory that many students learn languages just for graduation is correct, then they may only be pushed to study just enough to pass exams. On the other hand, if success in the language classroom is combined with success in gaming space, then making use of this drive may be a powerful way to increase the learners’ interest in language learning and develop their language skills. Video games may also have the ability to help learners develop more complex (复杂的) social skills. This happens a lot in a video game as players try to find their roles. But what matters most for players is that they try to find some connections with other players in the process — the shared meaning and a sense of belonging. A study done in Japan found that players seemed to play MMOs mainly for the purpose of forming social connections.
So will schools in the future all be learning languages through gaming This remains to be seen, but given that the study results suggest gaming can encourage social skills and teamwork — as well as amazing opportunities to share ideas and build knowledge, there may be a good argument for dropping the textbooks and entering into another world for a while.
8. What will happen to language learners in gaming space according to Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. They will face challenges confidently.
B. They will become better at planning their time.
C. They will force themselves to repeat their tasks.
D. They will get a strong desire to perfect their language ability.
9. What does the study carried out in Japan intend
A. The video game MMOs is very popular in Japan.
B. Learners should have good teamwork in video games.
C. Video games can help improve the players’ social skills.
D. People in games try to play roles different from those in reality.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards language learning in schools through gaming
A. Worried. B. Objective.
C. Confident. D. Doubtful.
11. What is probably the best title of the text
A. How to learn languages easily
B. How does gaming benefit students
C. The connection between learning and relaxation
D. The advantages and disadvantages of video games
D
J-K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, said that she had kept a fairy tale on her bookshelf for almost ten years. The story is called The Ickabog. She said that the story was the one that she wrote years ago in between writing the Harry Potter novels. She stressed, “It isn’t Harry Potter and it doesn’t include magic. This is an entirely different story.”
Ms Rowling had always thought of the story as one that belonged to her children since she read it to them when they were younger. In recent weeks, she’s worked to bring the book to a final version.
Several weeks ago, the author said she came up with the idea of publishing the novel for free on her website to amuse children who were stuck at home because of lockdown (活动限制). She discussed the idea with her children, who are now teenagers, and they thought it was a good idea.
The Ickabog is a fairy tale set in a kingdom known as “Cornucopia”. The author described The Ickabog as “a story about the misuse of power”. She said the story wasn’t written about anything going on now but could be about any time or any country. And she hoped children could learn the results of people misusing their positions.
Because the book was first written as a read-aloud one, Ms. Rowling thought it was well-suited to being published in parts on the Internet. The book will be officially published in November as a regular book, as well as an eBook and an audiobook. The money from the sales of those books will go to support groups that have been hit hard by the pandemic (流行病). Many fans said that they liked the idea. And they thought what J,K, Rowling was doing would make The Ickabog a second Harry Potter.
12. What did J.K. Rowling say about Vie Ickabog
A. It took her almost ten years to finish it.
B. It wasn’t good enough to get published.
C. It might be a book suitable for all her fans.
D. It didn’t keep the style of her well-known works.
13. What did J.K. Rowling intend to do with The Ickabog later
A. Show it on her website for free.
B. Keep it until her children grow up.
C. Rewrite it according to her children’s advice.
D. Sell it to support the bored children during the lockdown.
14. What does J.K. Rowling want to tell children through The Ickabog
A. Caring for the weak is important.
B. They should respect their own cultures.
C. They should learn from powerful people.
D. Using power in the wrong way can be harmful.
15. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean
A. J.K. Rowling’s good action will make The Ickabog a best-seller.
B. J.K. Rowling hopes her new book will attract young readers.
C. The Ickabog will become more popular than Harry Potter.
D. The Ickabog has something to do with Harry Potter.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Baby rattles (拨浪鼓) are simple toys designed for babies. They are made of wood, plastic, and other things. 16 So parents usually put rattles near their babies and let babies play with them.
Rattles are more than simple toys when it comes to child development. A newborn baby’s vision (视力) is still underdeveloped and poor in the first few months. 17 When babies meet rattles for the first time, they may not even see the toys clearly. The sound and touch of the rattles let them begin to learn a world that does truly exist outside of them.
18 When holding a baby rattle and shaking it, a child will soon know that there’s a direct relationship between his actions and results. He’ll find the sound when he shakes the rattle. And he’ll find that the sound stops when he doesn’t shake it. Then he learns that shaking rattles can lead to the sound.
Baby rattles must be safe for babies. Factories should produce rattles through materials that are not harmful. As for parents, they should clean the surface of rattles before babies play with them. It’s because babies often taste things given to them. 19
Baby rattles are usually thrown away as a baby develops into a toddler (刚学步的儿童). Toddlers may still enjoy toys that produce noise. 20 So parents may need to prepare other toys to help their kids learn and grow.
A. But the noise may be harmful.
B. If rattles are dirty, babies may get sicken.
C. They will soon dislike something not tasty.
D. And they contain small balls to produce the sound.
E. But a rattle as such may no longer hold their interest.
F. So his early learning quite relies on hearing and touching.
G. Through rattles, babies can also learn the cause and the result.

When I was nineteen years old, I successfully landed a job in Toronto. My daily commute (通勤) included a subway ride and then a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown Toronto. Like most large cities, the homeless people of Toronto often gathered on downtown comers, asking passers-by for their spare change.
Like many busy workers, I learned to ignore the nameless faces who asked me for money each day. When it came to homeless beggars, my limited life experience had led me to one thought — you are on the streets because you choose to be, probably due to alcohol (酒精).
I clearly remember one day in mid-December, the weather was unusually cold I walked with my head down, wishing that my office was closer to the subway stop. I passed the usual groups of homeless beggars, ignored them and continued walking. As I crossed the crossroads of Queen and Yonge streets, I saw a homeless beggar sitting next to a building, wearing thin clothes and holding a white cup in front of him. I heard his shaky voice as I sped past him.
“Spare some change ” he asked. “I would really appreciate it.” I didn’t even bother looking up at his nameless face. I simply imagined him walking into a store and buying alcohol with money that people gave him. “I have no money on me,” I said. I lied to him. Actually I had some change.
Just a few feet past him, I didn’t see the ice on the sidewalk. I fell heavily to the ground and my knee of the right leg was badly hurt. The pain suddenly came through me as I lay on the ground for several moments, wondering if I had broken my knee.
I tried to get up, but it was hard It was too painful. Just then, I heard a familiar voice, just a few inches (英寸) above me.
Paragraph 1：
“Are you all right ” he asked.

Paragraph 2:
He held the coins out toward me, saying, “Take them and you can take the bus to the hospital”.

第二节
Paragraph 1：
“Are you all right ” he asked. I knew this was the homeless man I had just passed by. No smell of alcohol came from his breath. I saw the pitiful look in his eyes. He let me hold his hand as I struggled to get up. He held my arm as I moved to the nearby bus stop. The man said kindly, “You need to go to the hospital, and your leg needs to be checked by a doctor.” “Yes,” I replied. Then he took some coins out of his white cup.
Paragraph 2：
He held the coins out toward me, saying, “Take them and you can take the bus to the hospital.” I was filled with guilt about the lie that I had told. I refused his money. Then I counted out enough money from my wallet to take the bus and gave the rest to the man. “Thank you,” he said. Then I heard the bus coming. “Thanks for your help,” I said. “Take care of yourself.” “I will,” he replied. “And you should take care of your leg.” I was very moved by his kindness.

Baby rattles (拨浪鼓) are simple toys designed for babies. They are made of wood, plastic, and other things. 16 So parents usually put rattles near their babies and let babies play with them.
Rattles are more than simple toys when it comes to child development. A newborn baby’s vision (视力) is still underdeveloped and poor in the first few months. 17 When babies meet rattles for the first time, they may not even see the toys clearly. The sound and touch of the rattles let them begin to learn a world that does truly exist outside of them.
18 When holding a baby rattle and shaking it, a child will soon know that there’s a direct relationship between his actions and results. He’ll find the sound when he shakes the rattle. And he’ll find that the sound stops when he doesn’t shake it. Then he learns that shaking rattles can lead to the sound.
Baby rattles must be safe for babies. Factories should produce rattles through materials that are not harmful. As for parents, they should clean the surface of rattles before babies play with them. It’s because babies often taste things given to them. 19
Baby rattles are usually thrown away as a baby develops into a toddler (刚学步的儿童). Toddlers may still enjoy toys that produce noise. 20 So parents may need to prepare other toys to help their kids learn and grow.
A. But the noise may be harmful.
B. If rattles are dirty, babies may get sicken.
C. They will soon dislike something not tasty.
D. And they contain small balls to produce the sound.
E. But a rattle as such may no longer hold their interest.
F. So his early learning quite relies on hearing and touching.
G. Through rattles, babies can also learn the cause and the result.

When I was nineteen years old, I successfully landed a job in Toronto. My daily commute (通勤) included a subway ride and then a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown Toronto. Like most large cities, the homeless people of Toronto often gathered on downtown comers, asking passers-by for their spare change.
Like many busy workers, I learned to ignore the nameless faces who asked me for money each day. When it came to homeless beggars, my limited life experience had led me to one thought — you are on the streets because you choose to be, probably due to alcohol (酒精).
I clearly remember one day in mid-December, the weather was unusually cold I walked with my head down, wishing that my office was closer to the subway stop. I passed the usual groups of homeless beggars, ignored them and continued walking. As I crossed the crossroads of Queen and Yonge streets, I saw a homeless beggar sitting next to a building, wearing thin clothes and holding a white cup in front of him. I heard his shaky voice as I sped past him.
“Spare some change ” he asked. “I would really appreciate it.” I didn’t even bother looking up at his nameless face. I simply imagined him walking into a store and buying alcohol with money that people gave him. “I have no money on me,” I said. I lied to him. Actually I had some change.
Just a few feet past him, I didn’t see the ice on the sidewalk. I fell heavily to the ground and my knee of the right leg was badly hurt. The pain suddenly came through me as I lay on the ground for several moments, wondering if I had broken my knee.
I tried to get up, but it was hard It was too painful. Just then, I heard a familiar voice, just a few inches (英寸) above me.
Paragraph 1：
“Are you all right ” he asked.

Paragraph 2:
He held the coins out toward me, saying, “Take them and you can take the bus to the hospital”.

Everyone going there can enjoy wonderful performances and learn more about Chinese folk art. Since you’re interested in Chinese culture, why not attend it with me I believe we will have a great time there.
Looking forward to your reply.

Paragraph 1：
“Are you all right ” he asked. I knew this was the homeless man I had just passed by. No smell of alcohol came from his breath. I saw the pitiful look in his eyes. He let me hold his hand as I struggled to get up. He held my arm as I moved to the nearby bus stop. The man said kindly, “You need to go to the hospital, and your leg needs to be checked by a doctor.” “Yes,” I replied. Then he took some coins out of his white cup.
Paragraph 2：
He held the coins out toward me, saying, “Take them and you can take the bus to the hospital.” I was filled with guilt about the lie that I had told. I refused his money. Then I counted out enough money from my wallet to take the bus and gave the rest to the man. “Thank you,” he said. Then I heard the bus coming. “Thanks for your help,” I said. “Take care of yourself.” “I will,” he replied. “And you should take care of your leg.” I was very moved by his kindness.
