二、短文填空
Earlier this month on a Sunday afternoon, a giant “ancient city” appeared on the surface of Hongze Lake in Jiangsu Province. But after about half an hour, the “city” was gone.
You might think that some unknown forces were at work. But it 31 (believe) that the “city on the lake” was actually a mirage (海市蜃楼).
A mirage is a trick 32 light and air play with our vision (视觉). 33 (normal), light travels in a straight line, but it can bend (弯曲) and change directions depending on what it passes through. This bending is called “refraction (折射)”.
If different layers (层) of air are 34 different temperatures, light will bend at different angles (角度) when 35 (pass) through them. This can create a false image (影像) of a nearby object. Take the “city on the lake” as 36 example. The layer of air near the lake is 37 (cold) than the higher layers, as the lake absorbs (吸收) most of the heat. The buildings in the mirage were actually on a nearby mountain. But their image showed up above the lake after light refracted in different layers of air.
Mirages happen not only over large 38 (body) of water, but 39 (somewhere) where the ground can absorb a lot of heat. They are often seen on hot roads and in deserts. The next time you think you see a pool of water on the road on a hot summer day, you 40 (know) it’s just a mirage—an image of the sky caused by bending light.
When the evening lights are lit, a big performance opens at Xi’an’s Tang Paradise. Dressed up as people from the Tang Dynasty with 41 (tradition) clothes, 20 musicians play the traditional instruments.

“Guyue is our own music from ancient China, ” said Qi Xingfeng, 45 manager of the Dongcang Drum Music Society. “It has been played for over 1, 000 years and now we add modern performance things such as stories, sound and light to make guyue more enjoyable, ” Qi explained.
Another thing the Dongcang Drum Music Society is doing is 46 (spread) guyue to more young people. They do live streaming (直播) on Douyin for two hours every day. They’ve got more than 725, 000 followers. They sometimes play songs from TV series and video games. They want to 47 (show) that guyue can be playful and fun, too.
“Many kids’ parents have contacted us that they want their children to learn guyue. It is a very cheerful sign to me—our ancient music is really 48 (come) back, ” Qi said.
Most of the members in the society are in 49 20s and 30s. Many were teenagers from local villages when they joined the Society. Then they had two years of training in the society. Now, new members have 50 (most) graduated from music schools.
In music you will find love of the country, nature and home. Music is also 51 expression of the musician. He or she expresses 52 (he) or her own music ideas. He or she 53 (study) music and writes his or her own music.
Classical music is a form of music 54 needs high musical skills. If you wish 55 (learn) it, you have to go through proper training. Only in this way can you play or sing this kind of music 56 (successful).
Hip-hop music 57 (start) in Africa. It always includes the use of 58 (instrument). In it, the bass is very important. It was 59 (one) played by a group of West African traveling singers and poets.
Jazz music has the strong melody (旋律). The main musical instruments are the trumpet (小号) and the violin. Jazz is kind of difficult. 60 there are still thousands of people who are crazy about it.
Besides these, there are many other kinds of music. All these kinds of music can bring pleasant feelings to people.
