21、Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D. Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
【1】Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments?
A．She hoped to create a better viola.
B．She was not satisfied with her career.
C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D．She wanted to teach her students about music.
【2】What do we know about Hutchins?
A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B．She is very good at playing the octet.
C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
【3】Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A．is easier to make
B．has the same size
C．produces richer sounds
D．is less enjoyed by musicians
【4】What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins?
A．Respectful.
B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful.
D．Worried.
22、After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he? Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage （车厢） subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into bad luck.

23、Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin. Regrettably, mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.
Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2, they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.”
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal，they also follow visual signals.
【1】What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?
A. Sense of smell B. Sense of touch
C. Sense of sight D. Smart brains
【2】The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is _______.
A. to fly to the dark ones
B. to catch and stick to them
C. to take no notice of them
D. to attach themselves to them
【3】How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text?
A. Don’t let them see us.
B. Use dark objects to stop them.
C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.
D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive?
B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?
C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?
D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?
24、 As parents, you are understandably very afraid of your children getting hurt and getting into trouble, as you send your kids out into the world where they learn from other kids and from external media. This makes you feel unsafe because you can't control the information and ideas that your children are exposed to. When your child lies to you, it hurts and makes you angry, because it shakes the foundation of trust you have in your child.
Your kid’s honesty becomes the connector between what’s happening to him on the outside world and what happens at home. You need him to tell you honestly what happened today. For example, if you say to your child, “Were you out last night?” and he says, “Yes, I was. I hung out with my friends and I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have done it.” This is an opportunity for your child to admit his mistake. But for the teen who says, “No way; I wasn’t out! That wasn’t me,” you’re dealing with denial. For the child who admits his mistake, you might set the limit of not allowing him to sleep over at a friend’s house until you can see he’s being honest about coming home. But if there’s total denial, he may lose his privileges to go out and to sleep over at a friend’s house for a longer period of time.
To prevent future lies, the important things is that you’re monitoring your child—and he knows that you’re doing it. Remember, you’ll do a better job when you respond objectively instead of reacting emotionally. Facing kids’ lies, a good parent is supposed to set rules and follow through. Additionally, having a conversation about the lie is where the learning happens for your child and is where you can influence better choices for more consistently responsible behavior.
【1】What makes parents feel insecure about their kids?
A.Nobody trusts their kid in the world because of lying.
B.Lying always causes their kids to get hurt or troubled.
C.Their kids are exposed to information beyond their control.
D.Their kids learn little from other kids and external media.
【2】How should parents react when their kids lie about going out at night?
A.Banning their going out longer. B.Taking no notice of it.
C.Forbidding their meeting friends. D.Bursting into anger.
【3】What is the key to preventing potential lies?
A.Emotional reaction. B.Immediate blame.
C.Loose rules. D.Open conversations.
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To persuade kids out of telling lies.
B.To offer advice on handling kids’ lying.
C.To introduce the consequences of kids’ lying.
D.To explain the reasons for kids’ lying..
