It was the last evening of the old year. In the cold and darkness there went 11 the street a poor little girl,with bare(裸露的) feet.
She carried a small bundle(捆) of matches in her hand,and a lot more in her broken apron(围裙). No one had bought any all day long. Trembling with cold and hunger,the girl walked on and on. What a poor little child!
In a corner,she sat down,but she could not warm herself. She was 12 to go home; she had not earned(赚) a coin,and perhaps her father would 13 her,and her home was almost as cold as the street.

She found herself sitting before a large iron stove. How warm it was!As the child wanted to warm her feet,the flame 15 , and the stove disappeared. The little girl sat cold and hungry,with the burnt match in her hand.
A second match was lighted. She saw a table 16 delicious food. The roast goose stood at one end,with a knife and fork in her breast,jumped down from the dish,and came to the poor child. The match was burnt out and only the thick, 17 wall was beside her.
She struck another match; this time, her gentle and loving grandmother came up, bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.
"Grandma!" 18 the child. "Oh,take me with you!I know that you will leave me as soon as the match goes out." And she lighted all the matches hurriedly;she would like to 19 her old grandmother disappearing. Her kind,old and beautiful grandmother took the little girl in her arms,and they both flew high together until they were in that place where neither cold,nor hunger, nor 20 is ever known.
The next morning,the little girl was found dead in the corner,with a smile on her face.

For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥会运动员)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."
26.Ma's 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
27.How does the writer describe Ma's difficulty in learning the violin
A. By questioning.
B. By listing numbers.
C. By offering advice.
D. By giving examples.
28.What can we learn about Ma according to the passage
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.
29.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
30.What does Ma's story tell 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.

"Without music, life would be a mistake," famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).
For example, Chicago Public Schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Post. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的) in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. They need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
31.Some schools in the US cut music classes, because .
A. they were too difficult to learn
B. the schools wanted to control budgets
C. there weren't enough music teachers in the US
D. students in the US weren't interested in music
32.In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word "them" refer to(指代)
A. Public schools.
B. Fired teachers.
C. Parents in Chicago.
D. Students in Chicago.
33.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. Decoding music notes is needed while people are playing music.
B. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
C. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
D. Different abilities are needed to work together while people are playing music.
34.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage
A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.
35.What's the writer's opinion according to this passage
A. Music is a big part of our lives.
B. Music is as simple as it looks.
C. Music classes should be cut in some schools.
D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us.
