21、Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?【1】
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. 【2】Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. 【3】 In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. 【4】 But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
【5】 Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?”
A．So, how is the film music created?
B．Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C．An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D．Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film.
E．So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F．The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G．Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.
22、Picture this: You' re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50. It's a tough decision: the small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $5. 50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there's a third option, a medium soda for $5.25. Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you, but the large is only a quarter more. If you're like most people, you end up buying the large（and taking a bathroom break midshow）.
If you're wondering who would buy the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. In fact, there's a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy（诱饵）, making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this peculiarity in human nature before with my friend Dan Ariely, who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscriptions（订阅）to The Economist. The digital subscription was $59, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two "real" choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientists call this effect "asymmetric dominance" and it means that people gravitate toward the choice nearest a clearly inferior option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. Lucky for consumers, almost no one in the business community understands it.
The decoy effect works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices. Value is almost never absolute; rather, we decide an object's value relative to our other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation changes.
【1】Why does the author ask us to imagine buying food in the movie theater?
A．To illustrate people's peculiar shopping behavior
B．To illustrate the increasing variety of snacks there.
C．To show how hard it can be to choose a drink there.
D．To show how popular snacks are among movie fans.
【2】Why is the medium soda priced the way it is?
A．To attract more customers to buy it.
B．To show the price matches the amount.
C．To ensure customers drink the right amount of soda.
D．To make customers believe they are getting a bargain.
【3】What do we learn from Dan Ariely's experiment?
A．The Economist's print edition turns out to sell the best.
B．More readers choose the digital over the print edition.
C．The Economist's promotional strategy works.
D．Lower-priced goods attract more customers.
【4】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Move.
B．Work.
C．Remember.
D．Understand.
【5】How do we assess the value of a commodity, according to the passage?
A．By considering its usefulness.
B．By examining its value equation.
C．By comparing it with other choices.
D．By taking its low quality into account.
23、In this article, I’m going to show you certain aspects of the Chinese language and explain why they make learning the language a lot easier than you might think.
No verb conjugations (变化)
When you learn English, you need to remember how the verb changes with the subject and time. In Chinese, there are no verb inflections (词尾的屈折变化) at all. 【1】.
No grammatical cases
In English, we make a difference between how pronouns are used depending on if they are the subject or the object of a sentence. 【2】. None of that in Chinese!
Flexible parts of speech
When learning English, you need to remember different forms of the words depending on what part of speech they belong to. For example, we say “ice” (noun), “icy” (adjective) and “to ice” (verb). These look different. 【3】. You don’t know which one it is unless you know the context. This means that speaking and writing becomes much easier since you don’t need to remember so many different forms!
【4】
Word order in Chinese can be a little bit tricky, but it becomes much easier at more advanced levels. As a beginner, there are a few patterns you need to learn, and once you’ve done that, you can just fill in the words you’ve learnt and people will be able to understand. It also helps that the basic word order is the same as in English: subject—verb—object.
What all these boil down to is that learning Chinese needn’t be all that hard. Yes, reaching an advanced level takes a lot of time and effort. 【5】
A．Relatively easy word order
B．The same subject—verb—object order
C．In short, it is very easy to learn Chinese well
D．We say “he talks to her”, while “him talks to she” is wrong
E．In Chinese, though, these could all be represented by one single word “ice”
F．For example, you can use “look” for any person and refer to any period of time
G．But getting to basic conversational fluency is easy for anyone who really wants it
24、Peanuts are among the most popular snack foods in the United States. Millions of American children are raised on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. PB&Js, as we like to call them, are found in children’s lunchboxes around the country. Or at least they used to be.
Now, many school officials ban peanuts or any products containing peanuts from school property. About 2 percent of U.S. schoolchildren will have an allergic reaction to peanuts. And that number is growing.
People allergic to peanuts can develop skin conditions or watery eyes. Children with a peanut allergy can develop a skin condition called eczema.
Some reactions are so severe they can result in death. So far, doctors have advised parents against serving peanut-containing foods to children under the age of 3. But a 2015 British study found that waiting too long most likely is partly to blame for the peanut allergy problem.
Anthony Fauci is head of America’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Fauci spoke to VOA on Skype. He notes that m Israel, people have a tradition of feeding peanuts to babies.
He says a team of experts have agreed on new guidance for U.S. pediatricians who specialize in children’s allergies.
Fauci calls giving children peanuts a way of “challenging” their bodies. He thinks it could be done safely with some boys and girls, but not with others.
【1】Which statement is true according to the passage?
A．American doctors see peanuts as a common food.
B．Peanuts have an important position in American life.
C．A number of children refuse the peanut foods.
D．Leaders and children have been allergic to peanuts.

26、One day, Zeng’s wife decided to go out for shopping, but her little son insisted on going with her to the market. Thinking that she would come back very soon, and that the naughty boy would bring her a lot of trouble, she was unwilling to do so.
In order to persuade the boy to stay home, she told him, “Oh, come on, good boy, if you listen to Mom and then Mom will give you a present when I am back.”
“What present are you going to give me, Mom?” asked the son.
“We haven’t eaten meat for a long time, so I will kill our pig and let you enjoy a big nice dinner.” The mother comforted the boy when it happened that their pig was wandering in front of the house. Just at that time, her husband came back and heard what she said. Thinking of the nice meal, the boy gave in.
Not very soon, the mother came back, but what she saw shocked her. It was her husband who had killed the only pig of the poor family.
“Why did you kill it? You know that it is very important for my family.” she scolded him.
“I did that just for your promise!” Mr. Zeng answered.
