Jeff Steele was born in Texas and grew up in Mississippi.A gifted singer，Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school.“I was going to be the next Lionel Richie，” he recalls with a smile.In time，however，Jeff began to write songs，and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles.Within a decade，not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records，but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville，Tennessee.
Throughout the 1990s，Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind，including four No.1 songs for The Steeles.But not only does Jeff write for his group，he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision，The Florida Boys，The Perrys，The Gaither Vocal Band and others.Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River，The Inspirations，and Legacy Five，along with a popular song by The Steeles.That song also received a Dove Awards nomination(提名)，as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family.
What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades？“I used to write everything alone，but now I enjoy co-writing，especially with my son，Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release，Be the Reason，contains multiple songs penned by the father and son，with each having an unusual feel.Perhaps this is because Brad—at age 30—is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward，and Jeff—at age 63—is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience.This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us：because we，as listeners，can benefit from both generations.
24．Who might Lionel Richie be
A．A writer. B．A friend of Jeff’s.
C．A well-known musician. D．A member of The Steeles.
25．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A．Jeff’s crucial role in his group.
B．Jeff’s influence on other artists.
C．Jeff’s secret to success as a singer.
D．Jeff’s extraordinary achievements.
26．What is special about Be the Reason
A．It was completed by Brad himself.
B．It contains a multi-generational feel.
C．It displays people from all walks of life.
D．It received a Dove Awards nomination.
27．Which of the following can best describe Jeff
A．Talented and devoted. B．Tough and generous.
C．Scholarly and friendly. D．Ambitious and imaginative.

African elephants are Earth’s largest land animals.They are very intelligent and highly social.A recent study says that numbers of African elephants sharply decreased over about fifty years.The researchers described their work as the most comprehensive(全面的) study of the two African elephant species—the savanna elephant and forest elephant.The study used data gathered at 475 areas in 37 countries from 1964 through 2016.
It found that savanna elephant populations fell by about 70 percent on average and forest elephant populations dropped by about 90 percent on average.The researchers mainly blame the drop on illegal hunting.However，the report also says populations of each species increased in other places because of wildlife protection programs.
“A lot of the lost populations won’t come back，and many low-density populations face continued pressures.We likely will lose more populations going forward，” said George Wittemyer.He is a Colorado State University professor who works with the conservation group Save the Elephants.
Illegal hunting of animals is also called poaching.Elephant poachers usually kill the animals in order to remove their tusks(象牙)．These prized objects are then sold on illegal markets，driven mostly by demand in Asia.
Poaching has mostly affected forest elephants.Its population is estimated(预估) to be about one-third that of savanna elephants.Poaching has been especially damaging populations in northern and eastern Africa，such as Mali，Chad and Nigeria.But，in southern Africa，elephant populations rose at 42 percent of the studied areas.
“We have seen real success in a number of places across Africa，but particularly in southern Africa，with strong growth in populations in Botswana，Zimbabwe and Namibia，” Wittemyer said.He credited protection efforts by governments and independent organizations for the growth.
The study did not provide a continent-wide population count.Instead，it estimates population trends(趋势) in each of the studied areas.Wittemyer said，“While the trends are not good，it is important to recognize the successes we have had and continue to have.Knowing how and where we can be successful in protecting elephants is as important as recognizing the seriousness of the drop they have experienced.”
28．What is the main factor in the reduction in the number of two African elephant species
A．Legal hunting. B．Profit-driven killing.
C．Climate change. D．Government measures.
29．How is paragraph 5 mainly developed
A．By making comparisons. B．By explaining reasons.
C．By describing a process. D．By giving a definition.
30．What is the purpose of the study on African elephants
A．To count the exact population of elephants across Africa.
B．To find solutions to increase elephant populations globally.
C．To know trends in elephant populations in different regions.
D．To explore the effects of elephant tusks on the environment.
31．What can we infer from Wittemyer’s words
A．Lost elephant populations will recover soon.
B．The protection programs need to be abandoned.
C．It is crucial to learn from successful protection efforts.
D．Elephant protection has no effect on population trends.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true，today’s stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes，cameras ready.Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal，celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are，seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them，not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，” Villareal says，“they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century BCE，painters followed Alexander the Great into battle，hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century，his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans，leading him to complain about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today，however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome，why aren’t all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still，even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
32．What can be learned from the passage
A．Stars are often misunderstood by the public.
B．Stars can no longer have their privacy protected.
C．Stars spend too much on their public appearance.
D．Stars care little about how they have come into fame.
33．What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
34．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today
A．Availability of modern media.
B．Lack of social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances.
D．Huge population of fans.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards modern celebrity
A．Sincere. B．Doubtful.
C．Sympathetic. D．Disapproving.

In today’s world of digital distractions(分心的事物)，the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge.Surely a child won’t have the patience to stare at something for long. 36
Being exposed to art，however，holds profound significance for the development of young minds，both intellectually and emotionally. 37 Each painting，sculpture，or photograph in art galleries tells a story，inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters，and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge，how can we get them to tuck(狂吃) in 38 I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First，why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow，stopping to look at every picture？ 39 If they want to head straight for a certain display，let them.If something catches their eye on the other side of the room，that’s absolutely fine.
40 What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art，for whatever reason.To encourage this，you can make it into a game，either with or without a reward，with simple questions like，“Who can guess the artist？” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.
A．Let them determine the pace.
B．Make the art gallery fit in with your kids.
C．Turning art into a game is another trick.
D．The answer is to approach them with fresh eyes.
E．It is a crying shame that they are least-visited attractions.
F．It allows children opportunities to engage in diverse perspectives and cultures.
G．It’s understandable to think of art galleries as anything but child-friendly places.

Bear was sent in to 50 which tree the koalas were hiding in.Once he found a koala，he sat 51 to indicate to his trainer that he was near a koala，at which point he would be offered a 52 which he would run after.

When I was a little girl，I knew that I had a gift for music.Playing was my love.While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun，playing childish games，I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano.When I played，I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy.All I had to worry about was my music.Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came.It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition.The music hall was packed with excited audience.I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me.As the other competitors were playing，I couldn’t keep my mind on their music.I was just memorizing the notes and practicing the fingerings.I had known my music was like the back of my hand.But this time，to my great surprise，I found my fingers completely out of my control.They kept shaking.I nearly burst into tears.Seeing this，mom held my hands tightly in hers.She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up.Then she whispered to my ear，“Sweetie，take it easy.Just listen and enjoy the music.”
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time.A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano.He looked calm and confident.His fingertips danced on the keyboard.The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air.For a moment，I totally forgot my nervousness.

第一节 参考范文
Dear friends，
I’m very honored to give you a speech on music.
I’m Li Hua，I really enjoy watching a music program，and I have fallen in love with music，so my aim is to form a band with my friends.
Four students make up our band，one being the singer and the rest playing instruments.Our music is based on Jay Chou，whose talent is admirable.In addition，what we are also fond of is rock music，some of which I’d like to make on my own.
We are wondering how we keep a balance between study and the band and what we can do to make it a successful band.We’d appreciate it if you could give us some suggestions.
Thank you!
第二节 参考范文
Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again.It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach.My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly，“Just enjoy it，honey！” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes.I got up，climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience.I tried my best to keep calm.I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard，took a deep breath and started to play.To my delight，everything seemed unbelievably smooth.
Suddenly my fingers slipped(滑) and I hit a wrong note.I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh.“Just enjoy it！” Mom’s words echoed in my ears.I continued playing as if nothing had happened.Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again.Eventually，when I finished my last note，the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering，which was totally out of my expectation.Though I didn’t win the champion，I knew I had learned something more valuable.I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.
