The Music Educat or Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra director at Annandale High School. She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize.
Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregiver s a year to play the same instrument as their child. Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.
The orchestra is about much more than just making music. The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something. Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds. And they teach her a lot in return.” They changed my educational philosophy. I understand what it truly means to meet a student where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said.
The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful. Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters. While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general. Another is resources. She says her school “desperately” needs new instruments. She will use some of her prize money to buy more.
Ray also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate. She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams.” It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said. “And there’s nothing else like it for them.”
24.What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs
A.She hosted the award ceremony. B.She brought music to more people.
C.She presented instruments to the poor. D.She founded a local charity for children.
25.What do students benefit most from the orchestra
A.They acquire in-depth musical knowledge. B.They make friends with the like-minded.
C.They gain personal growth from playing music. D.They improve their connections with educators.
26.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A.Challenges for music educators. B.Importance of music education.
C.The reception on the ceremony. D.Plans to obtain resources.
27.What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph
A.Winning a scholarship. B.Developing interest in music.
C.Making musical achievements. D.Transforming dreams into reality.
C
A wild African bird that will lead people to trees with honeycomb (蜂巢) seems to somehow learn the distinct whistles and calls of the human foragers (觅食者) who live near them.
This bird species has far more information about what the bees are doing than humans ever could. In Tanzania, Hadza foragers can use a special whistle to attract this bird, which will then fly down and start leading them to honey. With its noisy chattering sound, the bird is very conspicuous. Once the bird arrives at a tree with honey inside, it will rest near the beehive silently, seemingly not to disturb the bees. “That’s the signal to the Hadza to really start searching,” says Brian Wood, an anthropologist at University of California, Los Angeles. Pretty soon, the foragers will locate the hive and cut open the tree trunk.
It is found that the birds are more likely to show up when the familiar signal used by the locals is being broadcast. According to the research, the birds appear 82% of the time when Hadza whistles are being played. But they appear only 24% of the time when the researchers play the whistles traditionally used in a different country.
This makes it clear that the birds have learned what their human neighbors do when they want to partner up and go honey-hunting. “This is a very strong result which supports the idea that there’s a learning process involved,” says Wood.
But how do the birds learn It’s still unclear. What is clear is that this human-animal communication seems to benefit both parties, and it may go back many thousands of years. When the honeycomb is out, the birds get some of the beeswax, which they love to eat. And the human foragers get the honey—which is an enormously important food for the Hadza. Wood has calculated that the Hadza get about 10% of the calories in their annual diet with the help of the birds.
28.What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in Para. 2 mean
A.Eye-catching. B.Care-free. C.Naughty. D.Attractive.
29.What can we know about the birds
A.They are raised by humans. B.They help cut open the tree trunk.
C.They feed on honey as their annual diet. D.They can distinguish different. whistles.
30.Which of the following can best describe the honey gathering
A.A complex dilemma. B.A win-win cooperation.
C.A double-edged sword. D.An unfair trade.
31.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.The familiar signal in the forest.
B.A talented expert in hunting the bees.
C.A wonderful guide to collecting honey.
D
The human-animal communication in Tanzania. In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to rely on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
32.What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A.It offers little information. B.It features depressing stories.
C.It saves time for Internet users. D.It seeks profits from each click.
33.Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A.To discuss the quality of information. B.To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C.To show the importance of environments. D.To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
34.What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A.Turn a deaf ear to them. B.Reveal their intention.
C.Correct their behaviour. D.Send hard facts to them.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B.Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C.Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D.Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you think of your closest friends, who will come to your mind Perhaps your college roommates or the neighbor you played with as a child. Regardless of how you met these people, they most likely have one key thing in common: 36 A 2023 study found that, for those aged 21 to 30, over 80 percent in their social circles, were born within five years of them. Moreover, nearly 63 percent of adults have no close friends 15 years older or younger than them.
Spending our time with such a narrow group of people can fuel age segregation(隔离)and increase our loneliness. These limitations also keep us from other generations’ mindsets and potentially surprising points of connection. 37 Of course, the ones that are older might offer a brief look into the coming years.
A program that runs schools out of senior centers has said a lot about it. 38 Dawn Carr, a sociology professor, said most older people get much from practical help — with new technology, for instance —their younger friends offered. 39 Having fun with someone decades younger definitely takes off their pressure to “act their age”.
40 Lila, aged 75, was proud that her life experiences prepared her to give advice to her young friend with depression, for which the young was grateful. Also, older friends offer more examples of what growing up can look like. If someone’s parents are the only older people they know well, they might fail to picture other possibilities. A greater pool of older friends can help young people create their own blueprint.
A.You befriend those who live around.
B.They’re all roughly the same age as you.
C.Others might find joy in exposure to new ideas.
D.Brought closer, both see more than one benefit.
E.Younger friends can be a reminder of past selves.
F.Forming these kinds of friendship is particularly hard today.
G.Indeed, intergenerational relationship is never a one-way street.

I was eight years old and wasn’t aware of all the arrangements being made for our journey as a family to London in 1950. My mother was in great pain and wished to visit specialists in London. My father reluctantly had to sell our property in Queensland. The day before we boarded the ship, father unwillingly said goodbye to his five-year-old cattle dog, Spider, who was loved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy was to be his guardian while we were overseas, as he had been getting to know Spider for many weeks.
Six weeks later, an airletter arrived from Sandy, giving my father the news that Spider had run away just two weeks after we had sailed. Sandy had advertised constantly on ABC and other regional newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dog was never found. It seems Spider just kept running and searching for us. As he was cattle dog, my father thought he would shoe or dingo-trapped, because of his appearance. But our family thought that father held a secrets hope that Spider was still alive.
We sailed back to Australia two years later and re-established our home. My father immediately began his own search for Spider. One cold winter’s Saturday morning eight months after our return, my father had a call from an elderly lady living on her own on the outskirts of the town. As she told my father on the telephone, it was “just glimpses of a dingo-type dog in the shadows” of her disused tennis court. That was enough for my father to interrupt my homework.
We set off in his blue and black Jensen car which he had brought back from England. It was hardly the right vehicle for the rough roads we travelled that day. Five and a half hours later, we found the run-down old property. Sadly, she told my father that the “dingo dog” hadn’t been around for a few days. My father had a strange look in his eye. He put two fingers to his lips and did his special whistle for Spider.

My family tradition
It’s an honor to talk about my family tradition. I can clearly remember the bright Saturday afternoon 10 years ago, when I accidentally knocked over a neighbor’s flowerpot. Out of fear, I took flight immediately, rushed home and poured the whole thing to my parents. They praised me for my honesty and encouraged me to take responsibility for my fault bravely. Much touched, I went to apologize to my neighbor sincerely.
Surprisingly, instead of blaming me, he gave me a thumbs-up for my honesty, which brought me a great sense of relief and joy. It was at that moment that I realized the power of the family tradition. Actually, honesty and responsibility have been running in our family.
My family tradition has shaped me into a better version of myself and will lead me further.
Thanks for your listening.

One possible version:
Suddenly there was a sound in the bush. Out of the growth flew this battered dog right into my father’s arms. Spider had leaped over the tennis court fence with great force and certainty. My father’s eyes shone, and the old lady and I stood there with tears in our eyes. He kept licking my father’s face and making choking noises. He smelt dreadful. We wrapped him in an old blanket and I held him on my lap on the way back. He never once took his eyes off my father as we drove home. Every so often I received a lick of gratefulness.
Once home we had the trash of getting all the prickles (刺) off him. Before he was put in a tin tub, we gently cleaned him up with soap. Spider stood stoically through all this as my father also examined his teeth and ears. Spider spent the rest of his days—years -on the front porch, content and satisfied, always in wait for my sister and me coming home from school where he would give us a lot of licks to make sure we were all right. He then waited for my father by the garage door. We never left him anywhere alone again.

Dear Jane,
I’ve just seen the first snow this winter, I mean in London. Other parts of Britain, like Scotland and the north of England, have already had some snow falls.
Do you like snow Well, I do. Snow makes me happy and excited. When it snows, I love to go out for a walk and take photos. It looks beautiful when everything is covered with snow, and the view is even better from the top of a building.
However, as it is 1℃ here today, the snow won’t stay long on the ground. But I’m lucky because I have taken some photos from the roof of a friend’s house in the center of the city. In the photos you can see high buildings, but the sky looks rather foggy.
I also enjoy walking on the snow. Some people are a bit scared but I love it. Naturally you need to wear the right shoes.
Let’s hope that the snow will bring us good luck!
Yours,
Lisa
