Gustavo Dudamel comes back for another show. It’s the first night for the Los Angeles Philharmonic in California. When people see the conductor, the noise inside the Walt Disney Concert Hall gets louder. Dudamel walks to the stage and raises his head and arms. The group starts playing the Star Wars theme. At the end, people all jump up. It’s the kind of response you’d see at a concert by Taylor Swift, a very popular pop singer.
Dudamel says later that music is not just for fun. It brings us together even if we come in feeling very different. Under Dudamel’s leadership, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has spread the uniting power of music across differences in money, class, color and age. And its Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) has worked with more than 1,500 kids, giving them instruments and lessons so they can perform.
Dudamel grew up in a working-class family in Venezuela. His mom was a singing teacher. His dad played in a band. But what was more important for Dudamel’s musical growth was El Sistema, Venezuela’s national classical music education and performance program for poor kids. Dudamel joined when he was 5. It was El Sistema that gave him a violin three years later.
The YOLA program started in 2007, after Dudamel showed El Sistema’s work in Venezuela to members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic organization. The roots (根) Dudamel put down in Los Angeles have spread far beyond Disney Hall. In October 2021, the Beckmen YOLA Center opened its doors in Inglewood, California. The former bank building had been turned into a place for lessons, recording and performance.
Dudamel remembers someone once said: The young musicians shouldn’t be satisfied with a program that is just “good enough”. They should be given the best instruments, the best teachers, and the most inspiring places to grow and do well.
1. Why is Taylor Swift mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To show Dudamel’s popularity.
B. To introduce the topic for discussion.
C. To explain the difficulty in conducting.
D. To compare the differences between Taylor Swift and Dudamel.
2. What helps most in Dudamel’s musical development
A. His parents’ experience.
B. His natural ability in music.
C. The YOLA program’s support.
D. His study in El Sistema.
3. What can be learned from paragraph 4
A. The YOLA program has achieved more than expected.
B. The bank building was perfect for performance.
C. The Disney Hall cannot hold all of the YOLA members.
D. California needs more support for young musicians.
C
More than a billion young people across the world don’t have an Internet connection. That fact is holding back global (全球的) change, says the World Wide Web inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. In a letter he has written for the Web’s 32nd birthday today, Sir Tim is calling for a global push to connect all young people safely to the Internet.
Sir Tim’s letter replies to a report from United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) at the end of last year, which showed two- thirds of the world’s school- age children-1.3 billion children aged 3 to 17-don’t have an Internet connection in their homes. The fear is that this not enough Internet access (机会) could cost them their futures by separating them from the world, and keeping education out of reach.
UNICEF says a digital divide means children and young people from the poorest families and countries are missing out. And it is concerned that these children are falling even further behind other children, with very little opportunity to catch up.
Today’s letter, published by Sir Tim and Rosemary Leith from the Web Foundation, stresses young leaders who are using digital technology to tackle some of the world’s problems like inequality, environmental issues and other global challenges.
But Rosemary says these opportunities need to be open to all: “If half of young people are unable to use the tools to develop in a digital world-to learn new skills, run businesses, and build communities-society as a whole will miss out on their abilities, ideas and efforts.”
Sir Tim is also calling on tech companies and governments to work on ways to protect young people from harm online and make young people’s rights and well- being a top priority (优先事项).
4. How does Sir Tim find the fact that many young people live without the Internet
A. Worrying. B. Satisfying. C. Strange. D. Acceptable.
5. What is UNICEF worried about
A. The slow development of the Internet.
B. The high cost of Internet connect ion for common families.
C. The influence of the digital products on children’s health.
D. The widening differences in digital access between the poor and the rich.
6. What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Check. B. Record. C. Understand. D. Solve.
7. What do Rosemary’s words show
A. Digital tools should be used in educating students.
B. The abilities and ideas of young people will benefit society.
C. Digital tools are the most important in learning new skills.
D. Internet support should be seriously considered by the government.
D
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says, to avoid a too- hot world, we need to do all we can right now to control greenhouse gas emissions (排放). The fashion industry makes up to 10% of global emissions - more than aviation and shipping. It also causes other problems, like biodiversity loss, pollution, landfill problems and unsafe work.
It’s not the first time that people have changed their clothes for a crisis (危机). During World War II, clothing styles in the UK and Australia changed. With the aim of saving energy, short skirts, little detail and a focus on usefulness became normal. Now, the best thing we can do is buy fewer new clothes and wear them longer by controlling our desire.
Australians buy a lot of clothing about 56 pieces a year. That makes them the second biggest country after the USA, whose people buy many clothes. Clothing prices have dropped a lot in the past few years and people have more clothes.
The Hot or Cool Institute in Berlin says a wardrobe (衣柜) of 74 pieces of clothing (including shoes but not underwear) is enough for people in a two-season climate and 85 for those in a four-season climate like most Australians. If we buy 10 to 12 new things a year, we can replace our clothing in about seven years.
If we care about sustainable (可持续的) development, we need to change our choices that don’t fit the climate crisis. Clothes should show a person’s situation and identity. This might mean our clothes change as we make different buying decisions, like in World War II. We might look different, but that change shows our values in action.
8. What does the author stress in the first paragraph
A. The problems with the fashion industry.
B. The bad influences of greenhouse gas emissions.
C. The importance of reducing greenhouse gases.
D. The necessity of developing the fashion industry.
9. What does the Berlin-based Hot or Cool Institute suggest doing
A. Avoiding buying expensive clothes.
B. Clearing up one’s wardrobe in time.
C. Controlling the number of clothes we buy.
D. Replacing one’s wardrobe when necessary.
10. What can be the most suitable title for the text
A. Shop Less and Dress Properly
B. Wear Wisely and Live Sustainably
C. How Many Clothes Should We Buy Every Year
D. What Should We Wear to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions
