21、Searching for a new cat to add to your family? If your home already has a cat, you may wonder how your cat will welcome a new partner. 【1】Continue reading for tips on how to do that.
Your existing cat’s needs come first. 【2】Does your cat prefer female cats over male cats? If he/ she enjoys the company of female cats, adopting a female cat can help. If you adopt a young kitten as a companion for your older cat, it can work well as kittens get along with a cat of any age.
Shower your existing cat with extra attention. Cats can be territorial when it comes to their space; the same can be true for their owners as well. 【3】Giving your cat more hugs and care during the introduction of a new cat can help ease his/ her bad feeling. This also helps your cat accept and trust the new one more quickly.
【4】 When you bring your new cat home, it’s best to keep the cats in different rooms. This way they won’t try to defend their territory. Each should have their own space with bowls and cat furniture so he/ she don’t feel the need to compete. And do spend time with the new cat as he/ she can also be stressed in a new environment.
Introduce the new cat slowly. Your cats will have the chance to get used to each other’s smell through the door. When they seem interested in meeting, you can bring one into the other’s territory.【5】If you notice either of the cats getting uncomfortable, separate them.
A．Separate the cats initially.
B．Make sure your cat feels at home.
C．Do this at least a few days after the new cat arrives.
D．Think about your existing cat’s personality and habits.
E．Your cat can get envious of a newcomer easily if feeling ignored.
F．Give both cats a special treat when they first meet to encourage peace.
G．There is a process to make the change less stressful for both you and the cats.
22、The Chinese fashion icon, qipao, was born a century ago in Shanghai. However, the dress made its way through history from the hands of old craftsmen and is deep-rooted in Chinese culture.
“Qipao used to be so popular,” Leung Long-kong, 89, a well-known qipao craftsman, says, adding that the dress was an everyday outfit among women, from the less well-off to women at the highest levels of society. “Now, nobody is wearing them except on grand and happy occasions.”
To carry on the tradition, fashion designer Mary Yu, 41, who has been attending classes teaching knot button-making techniques, is trying to renew the design of qipao by taking symbols from Chinese history and literature.
“I feel I should look into Chinese culture and learn more about the past. People should have an in-depth understanding of their culture in order to move on,” Yu says. “Fashion design requires a profound knowledge of one’s culture before visualizing it.”
“After a period of wearing foreign brands all the time, there will be a day when one looks back to traditional Chinese culture. It is about finding the stuff that exists in your genes and suits you best.”
Yu set up her own qipao brand in 2016. Most of the clothes were made by tailors based in Shenzhen and Hangzhou, for their lower cost and more traditional work.
In the constantly evolving fashion industry, qipao is catching up with the times. Zippers, digital print patterns and new materials such as lace and denim have been introduced to a new generation. More daring ideas like 3D printed qipao have also become a reality. Yu believed that with the help of these new technologies, qipao will find its way back to the daily life of Chinese people in the near future.
【1】Which of the following best describes Mary Yu?
A．Creative.
B．Conservative.
C．Cautious.
D．Considerate
【2】Why does the author quote Leung Long-kong in Paragraph 2?
A．To call on Chinese women to wear qipao in everyday life.
B．To introduce the development of qipao in China.
C．To emphasize the importance of qipao in China nowadays.
D．To show that qipao is no longer as popular as it was.
【3】What did Yu do to renew the design of qipao?
A．She devoted herself to using new technologies to make qipao.
B．She borrowed some symbolic designs from foreign brands.
C．She added some elements from Chinese culture to the design.
D．She learned the tailor techniques in Shenzhen and Hangzhou.
【4】What can we infer from the passage about qipao?
A．Qipao is an iconic sign in the fashion industry.
B．Qipao is on its way back to the daily life of Chinese.
C．Qipao enjoys a good reputation in the world.
D．Qipao is seen as a symbol of wealth in modern China.
23、Beethoven is a giant of classical music. And the one with the most influence at least when it comes to piano compositions. That’s according to a study in the journal EPJ Data Science.
If you’re wondering how data analysis could determine something as abstract as cultural influence, it’s worth remembering the great thing about music: it’s the most mathematical of the art forms we actually can deal with because a lot of it is symbolic. The music is written in symbols that are connected in time.
Juyong Park is a theoretical physicist at the Korea Advanced institute of Science and Technology. Park and his colleagues collected 900 piano compositions by 19 composers covering the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, from 1700 to 1910. Then they used that mathematical quality to their advantage by diving each composition into what they called “code words,” a group of notes played at the same time—in other words, a chord. They then compared each chord to the chords that came before it. “Our computer model allows us to calculate the degree of shared melodies between past and future works.” said Park.
The composer with top marks for novelty was Rachmaninoff. But when the researchers looked at those chord transitions across all 19 composers, it was Beethoven who was most heavily borrowed from—meaning, at least among the composers in this analysis, his influence was the largest.
Their study comes with a couple caveats. The researchers only considered piano compositions in this work—-not orchestral works. And by only studying chord transitions, their conclusions wouldn’t capture artists who had influence in other ways. “It’s well understood that Mozart’s contribution to music mainly comes from the musical forms that he devised. That was not very well captured by our mathematical modeling.”
【1】How did the researchers conduct the study?
A．They turned music compositions into written symbols.
B．They looked at how chords differed from previous ones.
C．They collected 900 pieces from contemporary composer.
D．They calculated the number of chords in each music piece.
【2】What can be known from the research findings?
A．Beethoven was best at coming up with new chords.
B．Beethoven borrowed heavily from another composer.
C．Rachmaninoff’s chords were most unlike previous ones.
D．Rachmaninoff’s chords were copied by future composers.
【3】What does he underlined word “caveats” probably mean?
A．warnings
B．benefits
C．costs
D．proofs
【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Beethoven Regarded as a Giant of Classical Music.
B．Similarity between Music and Math Investigated.
C．Beethoven’s Major Musical Contribution Confirmed.
D．Computer Analyses Confirm Beethoven’s Influence.
24、How to deal with a friendship breakup
In an ideal world you would grow old with the people you grow up with, but sometimes it doesn't happen that way. For these reasons, you may find yourself having to be the one to end the relationship with your best friend. There' s never an easy way to do so. 【1】
Decide why you want to break it off.
Is your failing relationship with your best friend truly worth ending or can a truthful conversation help you mend what's broken? 【2】 Consider presenting your point of view to a neutral party to ensure you are indeed making the right choice.
【3】
Will you send a text? Invite them for drinks? Schedule a video call? The power is in your hands. Ending a relationship can bring about pain and heartache. Therefore you should do things in a way that makes you the most comfortable.
Decide if you want reconciliation.
【4】 Let them know if you'd be open to reconciliation in the future after you've processed the events leading up to the break-up. Try something like, "I need some time, and when I' m ready. I'll reach out to you." This keeps the ball in your court, and you won't be forced to mend a relationship before you're ready.
It may seem that pain would only fall on the person being broken-up with but truthfully being the person to end a friendship is equally painful. 【5】 Before you knew it, your best friend was a part of almost every aspect of your life: from celebrations to vacations, helping you get ready for a first date or a wedding day to the birth of a baby, supporting moves across county and everything in between.
A．We are always trying to hide the truth from others.
B．Sometimes, we only see things from our own point of view.
C．However, the decision points below can help lessen the blow
D．For both parties, it's natural to find yourself in a painful process.
