I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music ” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you ”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said.
I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
34. By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant ________.
A. she could remember the notes in a short time
B. she was playing the piano without emotion
C. her fingers couldn’t move freely
D. it had been a long time since she played last time
35. Which of the following can best describe Pasha
A. Creative. B. Honest. C. Humorous. D. Brave.
36. Pasha’s magic of playing the piano lies in that she ________.
A. imagined herself as a princess
B. knew its original background story
C. had a strong desire to make a friend
D. combined the music with a story
37 Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Friend Forever
B. Never Give up
C. A Piano Lesson
D. My Favorite Piece of Music
C
Do you want a simple T-shirt that could cool you down by up to 5℃ on the hot summer days Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely creative approach. They designed a special textile (纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit (重发出) its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling. Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
A research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous study was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking. and not directly facing the sky. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are no in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers (制造商) and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!
38. What is the purpose of the new invention
A. To warm up people’s body. B. To cool people off in hot weather.
C. To detect the wearers’ temperature. D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.
39. How does the special product work
A. By turning sunlight into energy. B. By sending out absorbed heat.
C. By keeping heat out completely. D. By using light colors to reflect sunlight
40. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The invention needs further testing.
B. The previous studies lack evidence.
C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.
D. The new fabric applies to various situations.
41. Which of the following statements can best describe the invention of the T-shirt
A. Barking up the wrong tree. B. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Putting the cart before the horse.
D
It’s never easy to explain exactly when a specific language began, but in the case of English we can at least say that there is little sense in speaking of the English as a separate language before the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain. Little is known of this period with any certainty, but we do know that Germanic invaders came and settled in Britain from the north--western coastline of continental Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries. The invaders all spoke a language that was Germanic(related to Dutch, Frisian, German and the Scandinavian languages, and to Gothic), but we’ll probably never know how different their speech was from that of their continental neighbours.
The reason that we know so little about the language in this period is that we do not have much in the way of written records from any of the Germanic languages of north--western Europe until several centuries later. When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods. This was the language that Alfred the Great referred to as “English” in the ninth century.
The Celts were already resident(定居)in Britain when the Anglo--Saxons arrived, but there are few obvious traces of their language in English today. Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock”(badger), and “comb”(a type of valley), alongside many place names.
42. When did the English language begin
A. At a time that no one will know for certain.
B. Before the Germanic invaders settled in Britain.
C. After the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain.
D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.
43. “continental neighbours” in Paragraph 1 refers to people living in ______.
A. Great Britain. B. Africa. C. Ireland. D. Europe.
44. Why do people know so little about the language in Britain in the Anglo--Saxon period
A. There are no written records from the Germanic languages.
B. Old English didn’t have any written systems.
C. Much of the written records have been lost.
D. There was a good deal of variation in the records.
45. What does the author think about the Celtic language
A. It greatly enriched modern English vocabulary.
B. It borrowed a few words from Old English.
C. It had little influence on modern English.
D. It influenced the grammatical development of English.

Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. ____46____The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.____47____
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals ____48____They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad.____49____ No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.
____50____
A. No one can ever avoid this hard stage.
B. So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food
C. This might explain why many people desire a home garden.
D. These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.
E. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.
F. To garden is to patiently and lovingly help life grow, in the ground and above it.
G. And even expert gardeners can lose a season’s harvest to uncooperative weather.

I also used the ____60____ to learn about artists. Recently I found a contemporary artist called Martin Bailey.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me, to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack! Actually, Jack was a good partner, quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead. It was only a little after 12:00 o'clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time. Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum, “Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright! I guess it’s only a short boat ride away. Be back by 5:00 o'clock!” Mum answered us.
Thanked Mum and got on our blue bike. We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back. The sea air blew on our face like silk. I stared out into the sea. I must have stared for a while because soon I heard, “PANISHA ISLAND!”.
The moment we got off the boat, we were fascinated with everything around, the clear waler, the blue skies, the singing of the birds… but we had no time to appreciate these. We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle, surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore. Lizards, birds, and lots and lots of bugs... Suddenly a rabbit sprung out, staring at us, as if to ask us where we were from. Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us. Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther, I let out a scream! Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools, shallow waters with fishing spots, overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site. “Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested. Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫), like a true tiger, came out from the farther jungle! Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool.

I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music ” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you ”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said.
I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
34. By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant ________.
A. she could remember the notes in a short time
B. she was playing the piano without emotion
C. her fingers couldn’t move freely
D. it had been a long time since she played last time
35. Which of the following can best describe Pasha

36. Pasha’s magic of playing the piano lies in that she ________.
A. imagined herself as a princess
B. knew its original background story
C. had a strong desire to make a friend
D. combined the music with a story
37. Which of the following is the best title for the text

Do you want a simple T-shirt that could cool you down by up to 5℃ on the hot summer days Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely creative approach. They designed a special textile (纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit (重发出) its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling. Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
A research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous study was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking. and not directly facing the sky. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are no in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers (制造商) and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!
38 What is the purpose of the new invention
A. To warm up people’s body. B. To cool people off in hot weather.
C. To detect the wearers’ temperature. D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.
39. How does the special product work
A. By turning sunlight into energy. B. By sending out absorbed heat.

It’s never easy to explain exactly when a specific language began, but in the case of English we can at least say that there is little sense in speaking of the English as a separate language before the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain. Little is known of this period with any certainty, but we do know that Germanic invaders came and settled in Britain from the north--western coastline of continental Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries. The invaders all spoke a language that was Germanic(related to Dutch, Frisian, German and the Scandinavian languages, and to Gothic), but we’ll probably never know how different their speech was from that of their continental neighbours.
The reason that we know so little about the language in this period is that we do not have much in the way of written records from any of the Germanic languages of north--western Europe until several centuries later. When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods. This was the language that Alfred the Great referred to as “English” in the ninth century.
The Celts were already resident(定居)in Britain when the Anglo--Saxons arrived, but there are few obvious traces of their language in English today. Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock”(badger), and “comb”(a type of valley), alongside many place names.
42. When did the English language begin
A. At a time that no one will know for certain.
B. Before the Germanic invaders settled in Britain.
C. After the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain.
D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.
43. “continental neighbours” in Paragraph 1 refers to people living in ______.
A. Great Britain. B. Africa. C. Ireland. D. Europe.
44. Why do people know so little about the language in Britain in the Anglo--Saxon period
A. There are no written records from the Germanic languages.
B. Old English didn’t have any written systems.
C. Much of the written records have been lost.
D. There was a good deal of variation in the records.
45. What does the author think about the Celtic language
A. It greatly enriched modern English vocabulary.
B. It borrowed a few words from Old English.
C. It had little influence on modern English.
D. It influenced the grammatical development of English.

Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. ____46____The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.____47____
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals ____48____They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad.____49____ No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.
____50____
A. No one can ever avoid this hard stage.
B. So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food
C. This might explain why many people desire a home garden.
D. These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.
E. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.
F. To garden is to patiently and lovingly help life grow, in the ground and above it.
G. And even expert gardeners can lose a season’s harvest to uncooperative weather.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me, to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack! Actually, Jack was a good partner, quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead. It was only a little after 12:00 o'clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time. Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum, “Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright! I guess it’s only a short boat ride away. Be back by 5:00 o'clock!” Mum answered us.
Thanked Mum and got on our blue bike. We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back. The sea air blew on our face like silk. I stared out into the sea. I must have stared for a while because soon I heard, “PANISHA ISLAND!”.
The moment we got off the boat, we were fascinated with everything around, the clear waler, the blue skies, the singing of the birds… but we had no time to appreciate these. We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle, surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore. Lizards, birds, and lots and lots of bugs... Suddenly a rabbit sprung out, staring at us, as if to ask us where we were from. Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us. Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther, I let out a scream! Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools, shallow waters with fishing spots, overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site. “Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested. Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫), like a true tiger, came out from the farther jungle! Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There was not much time left for the return trip.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool. I was extremely scared, struggling in the water. Seeing what had happened, Jack swiftly reached out his right hand, but unfortunately beyond my reach. Then he immediately picked up a stick from behind and gave the other end to me. However, the bank of the pool was too slippery and I was too scared to move. “Calm down! Grab at it firmly!” Jack encouraged in a loud voice. With his help and all my strength, I successfully got out.
There was not much time left for the return trip. Afraid of missing the boat back, Jack dragged me to the pier in a hurry. Meanwhile, I was looking back once in a while for fear that a beast might catch us up. We managed to catch the return boat finally but I had not yet got over the scare. Frightened and tired as I was, I congratulated myself on returning safe and sound. My brother and I harvested a meaningful exploration and really spent a brand new weekend.

When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods. This was the language that Alfred the Great referred to as “English” in the ninth century.
The Celts were already resident(定居)in Britain when the Anglo--Saxons arrived, but there are few obvious traces of their language in English today. Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock”(badger), and “comb”(a type of valley), alongside many place names.
42. When did the English language begin
A. At a time that no one will know for certain.
B. Before the Germanic invaders settled in Britain.
C. After the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain.
D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.
43. “continental neighbours” in Paragraph 1 refers to people living in ______.
A. Great Britain. B. Africa. C. Ireland. D. Europe.
44. Why do people know so little about the language in Britain in the Anglo--Saxon period
A. There are no written records from the Germanic languages.
B. Old English didn’t have any written systems.
C. Much of the written records have been lost.
D. There was a good deal of variation in the records.
45. What does the author think about the Celtic language
A. It greatly enriched modern English vocabulary.
B. It borrowed a few words from Old English.
C. It had little influence on modern English.
D. It influenced the grammatical development of English.

Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe. ____46____The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.____47____
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals ____48____They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感). New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad.____49____ No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.
____50____
A. No one can ever avoid this hard stage.
B. So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food
C. This might explain why many people desire a home garden.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me, to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack! Actually, Jack was a good partner, quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead. It was only a little after 12:00 o'clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time. Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum, “Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright! I guess it’s only a short boat ride away. Be back by 5:00 o'clock!” Mum answered us.
Thanked Mum and got on our blue bike. We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back. The sea air blew on our face like silk. I stared out into the sea. I must have stared for a while because soon I heard, “PANISHA ISLAND!”.
The moment we got off the boat, we were fascinated with everything around, the clear waler, the blue skies, the singing of the birds… but we had no time to appreciate these. We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle, surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore. Lizards, birds, and lots and lots of bugs... Suddenly a rabbit sprung out, staring at us, as if to ask us where we were from. Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us. Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther, I let out a scream! Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools, shallow waters with fishing spots, overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site. “Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested. Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫), like a true tiger, came out from the farther jungle! Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

Umeke’s Restaurant

I walked to Mrs. Windsor’s house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I’d rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn’t have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me. With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music ” I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen,” Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you ”
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge.” A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha’s dancing fingers. “Oh, but she slips!” The music changed. “And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream. Quickly, the princess’ horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river’s edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. Luckily, they make it to the bank.” Pasha said.
I played many pieces of music that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
34. By describing herself as a mechanical pianist, the author meant ________.
A. she could remember the notes in a short time
B. she was playing the piano without emotion
C. her fingers couldn’t move freely
D. it had been a long time since she played last time
35. Which of the following can best describe Pasha
A. Creative. B. Honest. C. Humorous. D. Brave.
36. Pasha’s magic of playing the piano lies in that she ________.
A. imagined herself as a princess
B. knew its original background story
C. had a strong desire to make a friend
D. combined the music with a story
37. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Friend Forever
B. Never Give up
C. A Piano Lesson
D. My Favorite Piece of Music
【答案】34. B 35. A 36. D 37. C

Do you want a simple T-shirt that could cool you down by up to 5℃ on the hot summer days Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely creative approach. They designed a special textile (纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit (重发出) its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling. Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
A research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous study was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking. and not directly facing the sky. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are no in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers (制造商) and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!
38 What is the purpose of the new invention
A. To warm up people’s body. B. To cool people off in hot weather.
C. To detect the wearers’ temperature. D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.
39. How does the special product work
A. By turning sunlight into energy. B. By sending out absorbed heat.
C. By keeping heat out completely. D. By using light colors to reflect sunlight
40 What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The invention needs further testing.
B. The previous studies lack evidence.
C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.
D. The new fabric applies to various situations.
41. Which of the following statements can best describe the invention of the T-shirt
A. Barking up the wrong tree. B. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Putting the cart before the horse.
【答案】38. B 39. B 40. A 41. C

It’s never easy to explain exactly when a specific language began, but in the case of English we can at least say that there is little sense in speaking of the English as a separate language before the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain. Little is known of this period with any certainty, but we do know that Germanic invaders came and settled in Britain from the north--western coastline of continental Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries. The invaders all spoke a language that was Germanic(related to Dutch, Frisian, German and the Scandinavian languages, and to Gothic), but we’ll probably never know how different their speech was from that of their continental neighbours.
The reason that we know so little about the language in this period is that we do not have much in the way of written records from any of the Germanic languages of north--western Europe until several centuries later. When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods.

Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock”(badger), and “comb”(a type of valley), alongside many place names.
42. When did the English language begin
A. At a time that no one will know for certain.

C. After the Anglo--Saxons came to Britain.
D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.

A. Great Britain. B. Africa. C. Ireland. D. Europe.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me, to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack! Actually, Jack was a good partner, quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead. It was only a little after 12:00 o'clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time. Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum, “Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright! I guess it’s only a short boat ride away. Be back by 5:00 o'clock!” Mum answered us.
Thanked Mum and got on our blue bike. We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back. The sea air blew on our face like silk. I stared out into the sea. I must have stared for a while because soon I heard, “PANISHA ISLAND!”.
The moment we got off the boat, we were fascinated with everything around, the clear waler, the blue skies, the singing of the birds… but we had no time to appreciate these. We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle, surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore. Lizards, birds, and lots and lots of bugs... Suddenly a rabbit sprung out, staring at us, as if to ask us where we were from. Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us. Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther, I let out a scream! Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools, shallow waters with fishing spots, overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site. “Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested. Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫), like a true tiger, came out from the farther jungle! Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

【答案】Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool. I was extremely scared, struggling in the water. Seeing what had happened, Jack swiftly reached out his right hand, but unfortunately beyond my reach. Then he immediately picked up a stick from behind and gave the other end to me. However, the bank of the pool was too slippery and I was too scared to move. “Calm down! Grab at it firmly!” Jack encouraged in a loud voice. With his help and all my strength, I successfully got out.
There was not much time left for the return trip. Afraid of missing the boat back, Jack dragged me to the pier in a hurry. Meanwhile, I was looking back once in a while for fear that a beast might catch us up. We managed to catch the return boat finally but I had not yet got over the scare. Frightened and tired as I was, I congratulated myself on returning safe and sound. My brother and I harvested a meaningful exploration and really spent a brand new weekend.
