We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu The is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.
The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族）during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument.With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erh is Erquan Yinyue.
As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地)，there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erh, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erlu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).

For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.
Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.
Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.
Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.
“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”
In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.
Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”
16.The violin performance made people feel __________.
A. regret, hope and light B. fear, warmth and hope
C. warmth, hope and light D. pity, warmth and light
17.How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin
A. By questioning. B. By listing numbers.
C. By offering advice. D. By giving examples.
18.Which of the following is TRUE about Ma
A. Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.
B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.
C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.
D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.
19.What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5
A. keep on B. end up
C. take pride in D. look forward to
20.Ma’s story tells us __________.
A. old habits die hard B. there is no place like home
C. practice makes perfect D. a good friend is like a mirror
C
Can anyone be an astronaut
Of course not. You don’t have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.
What’s the training like
People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity(重力). They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues: it’s hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don’t fly away!
What health problems do astronauts have
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles(肌肉) become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space— up to 8 centimeters! It’s also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don’t have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin (皮肤).
Are you still interested
21.What is a must for an astronaut
A. A science degree. B. A pilot’s license.
C. A healthy body and mind. D. A weak character.
22. What must you do to prepare for a space trip
A. Experience zero gravity. B. Wash with running water.
C. Practice long walks. D. Sleep with your eyes open.
23.Why do astronauts have to exercise in space
A. To make their bones and muscles thinner.
B. To help the heart work well and keep fit.
C. To avoid backache and grow much taller.
D. To stop their skins from getting sunburned.
24.What should astronauts have to do in space except______
A. Do a lot of exercise.
B. Have vitamins.
C. Tie themselves to something
D. Put on sun cream
25. What is the text mainly about
A. What we need to know to become an astronaut.
B. Why young people are interested in space trips
C. What problems astronauts must solve in space.
D. Why we need to train hard before a space trip.

Dear Sir or Madam,
World Earth Day is coming, so I am writing this letter to say something about our environment.
Now more and more trees are being cutting down to make room for our humans.In fact, the greenhouse effect has taken place. Air pollution and water pollution can be seen everywhere. Because of these, humans are facing a big danger.
It is time for us to do something to deal with the environmental problems. First, we should raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment. Besides, the government had better make some strict rules to stop pollution. Finally, more volunteers are supposed to take part in some environment friendly activities such as recycling waste and sorting out rubbish.
Let’s take action immediately to protect our environment and I hope we can make our world a better place for us to live in.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Hua
