21、AC/DC have postponed their US, tour after singer Brian Johnson was warned by doctors
that he was at risk of“ total hearing loss". This is unsurprising, given the decades that the
Australian band has been pumping out the hard rock decibel(分贝). But deafness isn't only a
concern for rock musicians. In recent years it has become clear that anyone around musica lot has reason to be equally worried.
When exposed to music, risk to hearing arises from a combination of how loud the sound
is and how long you' re exposed to it. If you visit a nightclub that is thumping out(晌亮地奏出) music on the dance floor at 100 dB, then after only 10一l5 minutes the exposure is potentially damaging. In a quieter part of the club, but where the music is still loud enough that you have to shout at your friends, them you could be there for a couple of hours before having to worry about your hearing. Of course music frequently exceeds (超过) 80-85 dB, but what counts most in assessing the risk to hearing is the average exposure.
Exposure to high noise levels often causes temporary deafness-something many people have experienced after going to a nightclub. While hearing usually recovers after a few hours or days, repeated loud exposure leads to permanent hearing damage. 'Initially, this damage is unlikely to be noticed by the listener. Problems only become significant in middle age when the noise-caused hearing loss combines with the natural loss of hearing due to ageing,
Improved technology means that the number of musicians having to give up performing could decrease, but student musicians need to be educated about the dangers of noise-caused hearing loss. The increasing use of headphones will also work against this-for musicians and everyone else. Unless people are careful with the volume（音量）level on their portable music players, hearing loss caused by music will increase.
【1】What does Paragraph l mainly aim to tell us?
A．Musicians tend to be victims of music.
B．It is helpful to check hearing regularly.
C．Being with music isn't necessarily beneficial.
D．Deafness has become musicians' major concern.
【2】What's the most important factor considered in the assessment of risk music has to hearing?
A．Its decibel.
B．The average exposure.
C．Its playing environment.
D．The listener's sensitivity to sound.
【3】People who go to nightclubs frequently tend to ．
A．suffer from temporary headache
B．have their hearing damaged forever
C．experience natural hearing loss earlier
D．have a clear sense of their hearing damage
【4】Which of the following best reflects the author's opinion:?
A．Improved technology can prevent hearing damage.
B．Student musicians are main sufferers of hearing loss.
C．Using headphones helps reduce hearing loss to a degree.
D．We can never be too careful with the volume level of music.
22、Mother's Day is traditionally a day for flowers, chocolates and big hugs, when children will have a chance to let their mother feel their love, but Willow Smith did something different for her mom Jada Pinkett Smith. Willow got her mom's metal band back together and stepped into her mom's shoes, giving a special live performance.
Jada Pinkett Smith was the singer of Wicked Wisdom, which she formed in 2002 alongside Honore, Graves, Rio Lawrence and Philip Fisher.
Willow remembered travelling somewhere with her mother on tour with her metal band Wicked Wisdom and watching old home videos, including one where she and her brother Jaden Smith cleaned the outside of the tour bus. “This is the music that I grew up around. My mother was a superwoman. She was a rock star; she was a fighter all in one. So I was my mom's biggest fan," said Willow.
To show her respect for the woman, the 20-year-old star followed in her mother's legendary footsteps and performed one of her favorite Wicked Wisdom songs, Bleed All Over Me, with Jada's band members, including guitarist Pocket Honore and keyboardist Taylor Graves.
Willow brought Jada out from the living room, and then Jada was sent to the driveway safely where the performance was held. The great mother who could always face anything calmly could no longer control her tears when she saw that her own song was being sung by her daughter. Willow and Jada shared a tearful hug for the touching closer.
【1】Why did Willow Smith bring her mom's metal band together?

23、Can’t find your keys — again? Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) makes people tend to put things places and not remember where they put them. This problem is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. It’s a common occurrence and certainly annoying. 【1】
When you put something down, say its location. 【2】 You’d say, “I’m setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that, either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, upping the odds that you’ll remember its location later.
Invest in technology. There are many tools designed to keep track of items. 【3】There are also objects you can put in your wallet or purse that will ring when you press a button on either another object or a phone app.
Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home or distributing one drawer as the scissors drawer. Then, at the end of the day, scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.【4】
Take a breath. If you’ve misplaced something, give your brain a minute or two. 【5】But if you keep beating yourself up about it, you’re less likely to be able to focus and keep track of your possessions. So, remember to be kind to yourself.
A．The same advice applies to places like your office and car.
B．Turn keeping track of your items into an opportunity to be creative.
C．Attach a tracker to what you often misplace, and it will guide you to its location.
D．Here are some measures that can make you put something back where it belongs.
E．It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things.
F．Here is some advice about how to cope with the situation caused by misplacing things.
G．One way to be mindful of where your things are is to express where you put them in words.
24、In January 1958, Rachel Carson received a letter from her fiend Olga Owens Huckins. Huckins lived in an area of Massachusetts where the state was trying to get rid of mosquitoes. They had used planes to spray a mixture of fuel oil and DDT (a pesticide, which can kill pests such as insects, weeds and rodents) all over the area around Huckins home. DDT was supposedly harmless but the morning after the spraying. Huckins found several of her favorite birds dead outside her house. And the spraying did not even kill all of the mosquitoes, in fact that summer there were more of them than ever before. Huckins asked Carson if she knew someone in Washington that could help prevent future spraying.
Carson had been hearing about DDT since a Swiss chemist discovered it could be used to kill insects in 1939. To many people, DDT seemed like a miracle substance. Farmers were excited about saving their crops from pests. Doctors and others were excited about saving people's lives by killing disease-carrying insects. But to Carson. DDT appeared to be dangerous to all living creatures.
The more Carson found out about DDT and other pesticides, the more she realized that she needed to help stop future spraying. Carson decided to write a book about pesticides. She said, “There would be no future peace for me if I kept silent.” She called her book Silent Spring.
Carson had spent her life studying, observing, and writing about nature. She was a trained biologist and a talented writer who knew how to present scientific information in compelling stories. Before Silent Spring, she had written other books from the perspective of fish birds, islands and oceans. Carson knew that all things in nature exist in a delicately balanced ecosystem. In Silent Spring, Carson wrote that. although the ecosystem can adjust to changes, it needs time. Carson believed that people u the 19s0s were using pesticides carelessly Nature didn’t have time to adjust, wrote Carson, because so any pesticides had been used in such large quantities in such short tame.
【1】Why did Huckins write a letter to Rachel Carson?
A．To tell her some bad news.
B．To turn to her for help.
C．To advise her to write a book.
D．To ask her some questions.
【2】Which of the effects the spraying of the mixture in Massachusetts had is right?
A．It killed pests such as insects, weeds and rodents around Huckins' home.
B．It killed all of the mosquitoes.
C．There were more birds than ever before
D．It had bad effects on ecosystem.
【3】Who would not be happy with DDT?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny day. Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today.
Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat.
So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced.
