21、Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.
◆Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I can read or hear the ideas of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.
◆Both vary with culture. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
◆Both share feelings. You can know that I am angry through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that feeling. When you feel happy, you may want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness, while you probably want to listen to sad music when you are feeling down. I think we have all used music to express our feelings.
【1】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Language is part of people’s daily lives.
B．Music plays an important role in people’s lives.
C．Language and music are similar in many ways.
D．Music is more important than language for us.
【2】How does the author develop his idea in Para 2?
A．By giving examples.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By describing details.
D．By listing reasons.
【3】What might people do when they’re in low spirit according to the text?
A．Talking to a composer.
B．Singing a happy song.
C．Dancing to delightful music.
D．Listening to unhappy music.
22、 Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American Eagle and Banana Republic all announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
【1】What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A．She is trying to attract shoppers.
B．She is an expert and journalist.
C．She has created “share-washing”.
D．She never rents clothes.
【2】Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A．Because it is handled correctly.
B．Because it is transported easily.
C．Because it is fairly eco-friendly.
D．Because it is easily accessible.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B．Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C．Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D．Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
【4】Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?
A．Environment.
B．Technology.
C．Travel.
D．Medicine.
23、On Sunday, April 23, almost 50, 000 athletes took to the streets to compete in the 37th London Marathon. While few were able to get even close to Daniel Wanjiru's 2:05:48 winning time, none were as slow as Tom Harrison, who crawled to the finish line, six days later, on Apri730.
However, the Metropolitan Police officer, who was dressed in a gorilla (大猩猩) suit, had a good reason for his slowness. He had completed the 26.2 miles on all fours to raise funds to help gorilla conservation efforts in Africa. The 41-year-old who spent an average 8—10 hours on his hands and knees, covered about 4.5miles each day before crashing at his friend's house for the night. To prevent his knees from blistering (起泡), he swapped between hands and knees into loping (大步跑) along on hands and feet and took breaks every 100 to 200 meters. But the arduous crawl was well worth it.
Harrison, who crossed the finish line at 11:45 am, has raised over£37, 000 ($47, 800 USD), far more than his original goal of £1, 790 ( $2, 300 USD), for the Gorilla Organization, whose efforts are mainly spent in Rwanda, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The much-needed funds will help train the communities near gorilla habitats to become more sel-sufficient and decrease their reliance on selling wildlife meat for a living. The money will also help pay for ranger services to monitor excess hunting of the Great Apes. More importantly, Harrison hopes his six-day crawl will highlight the bad situation of the gorillas, whose numbers are decreasing at alarming rates, and encourage more people to help protect them.
While thrilled at the outcome, Harrison, also known as Mr. Gorilla, is not done yet. He intends to continue his fundraising efforts at the annual RideLondon cycling festival.
【1】Why did Tom Harrison crawl to the finish line?
A．To improve his physical and mental health.
B．To collect money for the Gorilla Organization.
C．To advertise policies for Metropolitan Police.
D．To win the title of the slowest Marathon runner.
【2】What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Difficult.
B．Funny.
C．Harmful.
D．Attractive.
【3】What is the Gorilla Organization intended for?
A．Helping protect habitats for endangered gorillas.
B．Conserving gorillas in some African countries.
C．Supervising and punishing illegal hunting for gorillas.
D．Making people aware of the bad situation of gorillas.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Tom Harrison?
A．Strong.
B．Diligent.
C．Caring.
D．Smart.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。
On a Sunday morning, Mom told Roger that Grandpa was on his way over. Roger grinned and tapped his drums. Grandpa once drummed in a band. He and Roger always had fun playing together. Mom added that some of Grandpa’s joints were hurting him today and he needed a rest. But Roger thought they could play for just a little while.
Roger practiced all morning. Finally, Dad’s car pulled up in front of the house. The car door opened, and Grandpa stepped out. Roger waved to Grandpa from his bedroom window. “Listen to this!” Taking a deep breath, he raised his drumsticks and began. He rocked. He rolled. He built to a lively and cheerful finish and ended with a crash of cymbals, just like Grandpa had taught him. Leaping up, Roger raced outside to Grandpa. “It was wonderful.” Grandpa said, giving Roger a hug. Then he went inside.
Sitting on the couch, Grandpa talked with Mom and played with baby Lucy. When Lucy threw her toy on the floor, Grandpa reached for it. He tried to pick it up, but the toy fell out of his hand. He tried again. The same thing happened. Roger hurried over to help and asked Grandpa to play drum together. “I’m sorry, Roger.” he apologized, “Not now.” So disappointed was Roger that he left without uttering a single word.
After lunch, Roger went to his room to get his skateboard. Grandpa was already inside, standing near the drum set. He picked up a drumstick and began to play. Tap! Tap! The drumstick clattered to the floor. Roger ran over, scooped it up and held it to the Grandpa. Grandpa rubbed his hand, his fingers red and swollen. “I can’t play today, Roger.” he said. In low spirits, Grandpa left the room. Roger got lost in thought.
