The story of 11-year-old piano talent Jude Kofie warned hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy a $15,000 grand piano.
“He’s beyond special. He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from somewhere beyond,” piano tuner (调音师) Bill Magnusson said of young Kofie’s musical talent. Magnusson, using the money he received from his father, gifted a $15, 000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano talent on local news.
Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News show “Sunday Morning”.
CBS “Sunday Morning” later summed up Kofie’s story in a tweet that went viral with over 10,000 likes. “Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing.”
Twitter users reacted to the emotional story, with one reporter calling Jude Kofie and his family “amazing people”. Magnusson was moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news story. However, Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player. “What resources are left over to help this special little soul ” Magnusson asked.
Magnusson also promised Kofie’s family that he would tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life. “We’re family now.” he said.
Jude Kofie’s father, Isaiah Kofie, was shocked at Magnusson’s generosity. “All for free.” he said. “Who does that ” Jude’s father asked, becoming visibly emotional. Isaiah Kofie told the news station that there was no way he could afford a grand piano and that he would never have imagined he would have one in his living room.
When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent for playing the piano, Jude Kofie said that it was “a miracle”, “That’s what I prefer,” he added.

In an era of endless notifications (通知) from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage And is the way we think, focus and process information changing as a result
Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia. Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that “the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.”
Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US. He researches how apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user’s attention. “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.”
Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us.” he said.
Media multitasking, like skimming, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost. Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call a switch cost; that means our performance in our central task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the central task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.”
28. What is the result of much interaction with screens and devices according to Maryanne Wolf
A. Having trouble in concentrating.
B. Becoming addicted to the Internet.
C. Being exposed to harmful information
D. Building more relationships with others.
29. What does Kai Lukoff try to stress in the third paragraph
A. Why social media apps are popular. B. How social media platforms operate.
C. Platform workers try to attract users. D. Social media platforms provide great services.
30. Why does Daniel Le Roux mention driving
A. To explain media multitasking is common
B. To show the harm of media multitasking.
C. To explain why we’re media multitasking
D. To show the difficulty avoiding media multitasking.
31. How does the author develop the text
A. By quoting from some experts’ speeches.
B. By providing some typical examples.
C. By using the results of some surveys
D. By analyzing some social phenomena.
D
Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns, arguing the material has become “the new coal”.
Just Zero and Beyond Plastics, two US-based groups, called on the United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola’ s status as a sponsor of this year’s COP 27 on Wednesday. They believed that the soft drink manufacturer’s role in the event is undermining the global fight against climate change and conflicts with the efforts to bring down emissions.
“COP 27 is supposed to focus on solutions to the serious climate crisis.” said Judith Enck, who heads Beyond Plastics, “Instead, we’re allowing it to be a stage for company greenwashing.”
She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair, who said the company’s sponsorship of COP 27 “makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.”
Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and investments, which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by midcentury. But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From Plastic, an international coalition, has notably named Coca-Cola “the world’s top plastic polluter” for four years running.
Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself. Coca-Cola has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic packaging, an inevitable (不可避免的) waste product. Such numbers, advocates argue, should disqualify the company from COP 27 sponsorship.
“By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP 27, Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility.” said Blair. “But behind the scenes, Coca Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers.
32. What does the underlined word “undermining” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Making ... less popular. B. Making... less powerful.
C. Making ... more reliable D. Making ... more interesting
33. What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair intend to express
A. Their doubt and surprise B. Their confusion and curiosity.
C. Their support and expectation. D. Their anger and disappointment
34. Which can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair’
A. Do as you would be done by B. What’s done cannot be undone.
C. He who plays with fire gets burned. D. Speak in one way and behave in another
35. What would be the most suitable title for the text
A. Coca-Cola-The World’s Top Plastic Polluter
B. Coca-Cola-One of the Sponsors of COP 27
C. Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola Out of COP 27
D. Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution

Thomas Edison once said, “There are three types of people: There are those who think. There are those who think they think. And then there are those who would rather die than think.”
The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today. 36 , like a series of random events, with no explanations and few connections between them.
But the fact is that your world is largely created by the thoughts you think, and the things that you do as a result of your thinking. 37 . When you change your thinking, you change your life.
Your thought is creative. You determine what happens to you by the thoughts you think, especially those thoughts that are charged with emotion, either positive or negative. Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile (导弹). 38 .
In a 2002 study at the University of Pennsylvania. 350,000 people were interviewed to find out what they thought about most of the time. It turned out that the top 10 percent, the happiest and most successful of this group, thought about two things most of the time: what they wanted and how to get it. 39 .
The more successful people thought about what they wanted and how to get it, the more ideas and insights came to them. 40 , which moved them faster and faster toward their coals. When they achieved their coals, they felt happier, more motivated, and eager to set even bigger and more challenging goals.
The foundation principle of all religions, philosophy, psychology, and success is this: You become what you think about most of the time.
A. As a result, life just happens to them
B. They lead you correctly to your target
C. Decide upon something that you really want
D. You will eventually become what you think about
E. These ideas motivated them to take even more actions
F. They thought about their goals and the actions they could take
G. When you improve your thinking, you improve your actions and results

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The 16th of September was my cousin’s birthday, He is 4 years younger than me and his birthday is just seven days before mine. Those seven days were the worst days of my life. I thought “Isn’t seven supposed to be a lucky number ” and wondered who came up with that idea.
That evening my mother sent him and me to get some stuff from the store so she could make him a cake. On every other Sunday at this time of the day I’d be on the soccer field kicking the ball around with my older friends, but instead this Sunday found me walking to the shop with my cousin.
On the way to the store my cousin spotted an almond (杏) at the edge of a branch, It was as large as an apple and as red as a new crayon fresh from the box. The rule was whoever spotted it first owned it. Even if you climbed the tree to get it, it still did not belong to you. I decided to go to get the beautiful, delicious-looking fruit for my cousin, seeing that it was his birthday.
I started to map out my course of action as to how I was going to get this fruit. I could have hit it with rocks until it fell, but no, it was too beautiful to be bruised (碰伤) by the force of a stone thrown at it. I continued to climb on to a fence which was directly parallel to the almond tree. At the top of the fence I paused a while to take a look around. “Wow! Cool view from 12 feet off the ground.” My cousin laughed and told me to hurry up and get it so we could go home. My next step was to jump from the fence, catch the main branch, and then climb to victory. Come on! I’d done this tons of times, and I didn’t even hesitate.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I grabbed the branch, that juicy almond met me eye to eye. _________________________________________

M: My wife and I have a very peaceful life now. We live in a small village in the country. We run a village shop, boring some may say. But we love it. We know all the people from the village. They have plenty of time to shop and chat. I have plenty of time for my hobbies— gardening, fishing, and walking in the countryside. But things were different before. I used to have a stressful job, working so late in the office every evening and bringing work home at the weekends. The advertising world is very competitive. I had no private life at all and no time for the really important things in life. Because of the pressure, I used to smoke and drink too much. As a result, my wife left me. She complained that she never saw me and I had no time for family life. This made me realize what was really important. I talked things through with her and decided to get back and started a new and better life together.

One possible version:
As I grabbed the branch, that juicy almond met me eye to eye. But before I could grab it, we were both in total free fall, falling towards the ground which was covered with rocks. I fell on a large rock on my left side and the entire branch came down on top of me. However, I thought I was only a bit injured. Well, at least the almond was safe. I quickly got up and told my cousin I was OK. Then, I brushed myself off and hurried him to be on our way home.
As we entered the house, my mother noticed I was covered in dirt. She asked what had happened to me. I just assured her there was nothing she should worry about. To my surprise, my bruise started to burn a little later. At this point I had to admit the fact that I was seriously injured. I repeatedly shouted for my mother at the top of my voice. My mother made her way to me as quickly as she could. I showed her my situation and she rushed me to the hospital immediately. Although I was hurt on my cousin’s birthday, I felt proud because I had done something that I should do as an elder cousin and that made him happy.

The story of 11-year-old piano talent Jude Kofie warned hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy a $15,000 grand piano.
“He’s beyond special. He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from somewhere beyond,” piano tuner (调音师) Bill Magnusson said of young Kofie’s musical talent. Magnusson, using the money he received from his father, gifted a $15, 000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano talent on local news.
Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News show “Sunday Morning”.
CBS “Sunday Morning” later summed up Kofie’s story in a tweet that went viral with over 10,000 likes. “Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing.”
Twitter users reacted to the emotional story, with one reporter calling Jude Kofie and his family “amazing people”. Magnusson was moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news story. However, Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player. “What resources are left over to help this special little soul ” Magnusson asked.
Magnusson also promised Kofie’s family that he would tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life. “We’re family now.” he said.
Jude Kofie’s father, Isaiah Kofie, was shocked at Magnusson’s generosity. “All for free.” he said. “Who does that ” Jude’s father asked, becoming visibly emotional. Isaiah Kofie told the news station that there was no way he could afford a grand piano and that he would never have imagined he would have one in his living room.
When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent for playing the piano, Jude Kofie said that it was “a miracle”, “That’s what I prefer,” he added.
24. What can we learn about Bill Magnusson

In an era of endless notifications (通知) from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage And is the way we think, focus and process information changing as a result
Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia. Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that “the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.”
Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US. He researches how apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user’s attention. “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.”
Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us.” he said.
Media multitasking, like skimming, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost. Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call a switch cost; that means our performance in our central task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the central task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they’re driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.”
28. What is the result of much interaction with screens and devices according to Maryanne Wolf
A. Having trouble in concentrating.
B. Becoming addicted to the Internet.
C. Being exposed to harmful information
D. Building more relationships with others.
29. What does Kai Lukoff try to stress in the third paragraph
A. Why social media apps are popular. B. How social media platforms operate.
C. Platform workers try to attract users. D. Social media platforms provide great services.
30. Why does Daniel Le Roux mention driving
A. To explain media multitasking is common
B. To show the harm of media multitasking.
C. To explain why we’re media multitasking
D. To show the difficulty avoiding media multitasking.
31. How does the author develop the text
A. By quoting from some experts’ speeches.
B. By providing some typical examples.
C. By using the results of some surveys
D. By analyzing some social phenomena.
D
Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns, arguing the material has become “the new coal”.
Just Zero and Beyond Plastics, two US-based groups, called on the United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola’ s status as a sponsor of this year’s COP 27 on Wednesday. They believed that the soft drink manufacturer’s role in the event is undermining the global fight against climate change and conflicts with the efforts to bring down emissions.
“COP 27 is supposed to focus on solutions to the serious climate crisis.” said Judith Enck, who heads Beyond Plastics, “Instead, we’re allowing it to be a stage for company greenwashing.”
She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair, who said the company’s sponsorship of COP 27 “makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.”
Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and investments, which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by midcentury. But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From Plastic, an international coalition, has notably named Coca-Cola “the world’s top plastic polluter” for four years running.
Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself. Coca-Cola has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic packaging, an inevitable (不可避免的) waste product. Such numbers, advocates argue, should disqualify the company from COP 27 sponsorship.
“By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP 27, Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility.” said Blair. “But behind the scenes, Coca Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers.
32. What does the underlined word “undermining” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Making ... less popular. B. Making... less powerful.
C. Making ... more reliable D. Making ... more interesting
33. What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair intend to express
A. Their doubt and surprise B. Their confusion and curiosity.
C. Their support and expectation. D. Their anger and disappointment
34. Which can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair’
A. Do as you would be done by B. What’s done cannot be undone.
C. He who plays with fire gets burned. D. Speak in one way and behave in another
35. What would be the most suitable title for the text
A. Coca-Cola-The World’s Top Plastic Polluter
B. Coca-Cola-One of the Sponsors of COP 27
C. Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola Out of COP 27
D. Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution

Thomas Edison once said, “There are three types of people: There are those who think. There are those who think they think. And then there are those who would rather die than think.”
The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today. 36 , like a series of random events, with no explanations and few connections between them.
But the fact is that your world is largely created by the thoughts you think, and the things that you do as a result of your thinking. 37 . When you change your thinking, you change your life.
Your thought is creative. You determine what happens to you by the thoughts you think, especially those thoughts that are charged with emotion, either positive or negative. Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile (导弹). 38 .
In a 2002 study at the University of Pennsylvania. 350,000 people were interviewed to find out what they thought about most of the time. It turned out that the top 10 percent, the happiest and most successful of this group, thought about two things most of the time: what they wanted and how to get it. 39 .
The more successful people thought about what they wanted and how to get it, the more ideas and insights came to them. 40 , which moved them faster and faster toward their coals. When they achieved their coals, they felt happier, more motivated, and eager to set even bigger and more challenging goals.
The foundation principle of all religions, philosophy, psychology, and success is this: You become what you think about most of the time.
A. As a result, life just happens to them
B. They lead you correctly to your target
C. Decide upon something that you really want
D. You will eventually become what you think about
E. These ideas motivated them to take even more actions
F. They thought about their goals and the actions they could take
G. When you improve your thinking, you improve your actions and results

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The 16th of September was my cousin’s birthday, He is 4 years younger than me and his birthday is just seven days before mine. Those seven days were the worst days of my life. I thought “Isn’t seven supposed to be a lucky number ” and wondered who came up with that idea.
That evening my mother sent him and me to get some stuff from the store so she could make him a cake. On every other Sunday at this time of the day I’d be on the soccer field kicking the ball around with my older friends, but instead this Sunday found me walking to the shop with my cousin.
On the way to the store my cousin spotted an almond (杏) at the edge of a branch, It was as large as an apple and as red as a new crayon fresh from the box. The rule was whoever spotted it first owned it. Even if you climbed the tree to get it, it still did not belong to you. I decided to go to get the beautiful, delicious-looking fruit for my cousin, seeing that it was his birthday.
I started to map out my course of action as to how I was going to get this fruit. I could have hit it with rocks until it fell, but no, it was too beautiful to be bruised (碰伤) by the force of a stone thrown at it. I continued to climb on to a fence which was directly parallel to the almond tree. At the top of the fence I paused a while to take a look around. “Wow! Cool view from 12 feet off the ground.” My cousin laughed and told me to hurry up and get it so we could go home. My next step was to jump from the fence, catch the main branch, and then climb to victory. Come on! I’d done this tons of times, and I didn’t even hesitate.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I grabbed the branch, that juicy almond met me eye to eye. _________________________________________

They have plenty of time to shop and chat. I have plenty of time for my hobbies— gardening, fishing, and walking in the countryside. But things were different before. I used to have a stressful job, working so late in the office every evening and bringing work home at the weekends. The advertising world is very competitive. I had no private life at all and no time for the really important things in life. Because of the pressure, I used to smoke and drink too much. As a result, my wife left me. She complained that she never saw me and I had no time for family life. This made me realize what was really important. I talked things through with her and decided to get back and started a new and better life together.

Dear Peter,
I’ m writing to advise you to take part in a speech contest themed “Stories of China Retold in English”. It’s organized by our school’s English club and will take place in the school lecture hall next Saturday. The aim of the event is to spread Chinese culture and to share Chinese wisdom around the world.
In my opinion, the contest is a great chance for you to demonstrate your public speaking skills and show your personal charm. More importantly, you can make your voice heard and display your unique understanding of Chinese culture.
I’ m sure you’ll show your best self to the world!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
As I grabbed the branch, that juicy almond met me eye to eye. But before I could grab it, we were both in total free fall, falling towards the ground which was covered with rocks. I fell on a large rock on my left side and the entire branch came down on top of me. However, I thought I was only a bit injured. Well, at least the almond was safe. I quickly got up and told my cousin I was OK. Then, I brushed myself off and hurried him to be on our way home.
As we entered the house, my mother noticed I was covered in dirt. She asked what had happened to me. I just assured her there was nothing she should worry about. To my surprise, my bruise started to burn a little later. At this point I had to admit the fact that I was seriously injured. I repeatedly shouted for my mother at the top of my voice. My mother made her way to me as quickly as she could. I showed her my situation and she rushed me to the hospital immediately. Although I was hurt on my cousin’s birthday, I felt proud because I had done something that I should do as an elder cousin and that made him happy.
