第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A
A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement. Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classic (古典的) art form and its history should be paid attention to.
Professor Walker, a professor in music and music education at the University or NSW, says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage (遗产) because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack (缺乏) of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist (专家) music teachers.
“I’m not against pop music, but it’s very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing,” Professor Walker says, “But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia’s culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films.”
“At least children ought to know what’s happening in Western culture. It’s part of culture heritage,” he says. “Asian students know more about Western classic music than most children in the West.”
Professor Walker says no school curriculum (课程) in the Australia lists a piece of music that children should study.
“This lack of standard texts means that some rock children can be brought up totally on western classic music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible,” he says.
21.What’s the problem in music education in Australia according to the passage
A.Children know nothing about their culture heritage.
B.Classical music education isn’t valued in schools.
C.Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D.Australia schools need more specialist music teachers.
22.According to Professor Walker, students should study classical music because it is ________.
A.part of culture heritage B.good for their growing up
C.difficult to play and sing D.popular only in Asia
23.From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A.music teachers should teach anything that they like
B.most children today are brought up by their music teachers
C.music teachers shouldn’t teach the music of Elvis Presley at all
D.children’s music education today depends on their teacher’s taste

You must have heard of the legend（传说）of Yu Gong, who tried to move two mountains. The Taihang Mountain was one of the two mountains.
The Taihang Mountain passes through the areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing. It is about 400 kilometers long. It is a large mountain range in North China, and it was called “the backbone（脊梁）of China” in ancient times.
Many of the legends about the very beginning of human civilization（文明）come from the Taihang area. For example, Nvwa used stones to repair the sky to make sure that humans would have a better future; Houyi protected everyone by shooting the suns; Yandi, one of the earliest Chinese emperors, tried large numbers of herbs（草药）and taught people how to use them to treat diseases.
The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened, but also a place where tens of thousands of fossils（化石）were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with beautiful colors in four seasons. It is home to many animals and plants as well.
If you need a trip that helps you learn different things about history, culture and other important knowledge, you can go to the Taihang Mountain.
24.What was the Taihang Mountain once called
A.The roof of China. B.The roof of the world.
C.The backbone China. D.The backbone of the world.
25.How many legends are mentioned in the passage

B.It is only known for tens of thousands of fossils that were found there.
C.We can also learn about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area.
D.One of the legends tells that Houyi taught people how to use herbs to treat diseases.
27.What might be the best title for the passage
A.A great old man—Yu Gong B.Taihang Mountain—a great treasure in China
C.Ancient stories about Taihang Mountain D.The natural beauty in Taihang Mountain

At a concert in Tsinghua University, Fang Jinlong, a master of the traditional Chinese instrument pipa, and the robots from the Moja Robot Band performed several pieces of Chinese music. The robot musicians in the band, Yuheng, Yaoguang, and Kaiyang, played traditional Chinese instruments at the concert.
The team that developed the band was built in 2018. Mi Haipeng is the chief (首席) scientist of the team. He took part in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan. That experience gave him the dream of making a Chinese robot band.
Mi said that the sound and playing style of traditional Chinese musical instruments are different from those in the West. Chinese people pay more attention to the feelings and expression of the players, but these are hard to control for robots. It also brings many posers to Moja robot development.
During the concert, the robot musicians used their “fingers” and “mouths” to play the instruments. Many students said that was the first time they had seen humans and robots play together. And they never thought robots could play so well.
Mi said the pieces of music in the concert were specially made for the robots to play. And there are more performance plans for Moja in the future, introducing new pieces of music. The team will improve the musical sense and emotional (情感的) expression of robots.
28.What can we know about the concert in Tsinghua University

B.It introduced many western instruments.
C.It showed the mix of technology and traditional art.
D.All the musicians at it were robots.

31.The passage is mainly about ______.

D
David Miles, an Australian inventor has been arrested because of cheating farmers. He charged the farmers up to $50, 000 Australian dollars for delivering rain on demand.
On the Miles Research website, Miles explains that he can influence weather by creating a bridge between the “present” and a “near-future event”. By applying small amounts of energy, he can change the future weather system.
Miles does not explain in detail how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers. He makes references to famous concepts like “the butterfly effect”. “We were advised not to show how it works. There are a lot of big companies that are trying to steal our secret. The only way is to fully prove our science and physics. “
Miles’ claims raised public suspicion for obvious reasons. A statement on his company website says that his technology uses “electromagnetic scalar waves”, which, according to scientists, doesn’t even exist. Therefore, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him. But Miles claimed that the ACCC was only trying to harm the fame of his company. If it didn’t rain, he wouldn’t get paid.
“Consumers signed the agreement with my company. If by the end of June they receive 100mm of rain, they will pay $50, 000. If they only receive 50mm, they will only pay $25, 000. Anything under half of that, we don’t want to be paid, “ Miles said a handful of farmers agreed to take his offer to deliver rain.
Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making service said that he was quite happy with the results.
32.According to David Miles, what does his business do
A.To reduce the temperature. B.To change the solar energy.
C.To predict the future events. D.To influence the weather system.
33.Why did ACCC warn people against doing business with Miles
A.Because he charged too much for the services.
B.Because his practice will do harm to national safety.
C.Because he didn’t report his technology with ACCC.
D.Because his ‘‘electromagnetic scalar waves” doesn’t exist.
34.How much will be paid to Miles if the farmers receive 15mm of rain
A.$0. B.$12, 500. C.$25, 000. D.$50, 000.
35.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Miles needed safer facilities for his business.
B.Miles brought about good crops as expected.
C.Miles has successfully attracted some farmers.
D.Miles was supported by official organizations.

Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see 43 we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound 44 to you Do you do that often If not, how do you 45 when others do that when having dinner with you
A recent study suggests that what we are 46 to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of 47 makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they 48 , the less delicious the food seemed to them.
