21、Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
【1】Art products differ from most other commercial products because ________.
A．most people purchase them for collection

A．keep the community safe from illnesses
B．develop a stronger tie between them
C．learn to appreciate their own works of art
D．offer honourable solutions to their problems
【3】What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?
A．They enjoy better living conditions.
B．They like to compare themselves with others.
C．They are particularly good at both music and art.
D．They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
【4】How does kids’ engagement with the arts benefit them?
A．It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B．It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C．It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D．It helps to make responsible people out of them.
22、 Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa, who had grown up around horses, was observing a horse auction (拍卖). A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? The horse had an injured leg, but that didn’t matter “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen,” said Terasa.
When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. There was no way she was going to allow that horse to have an uncertain future. At MYM450, the bidding stopped! Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, a nervous racehorse with an unfortunate past.
Sierra, limping (病) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered and Terasa’s most impressive game began.
It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa provided Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff (嗅) test—Sierra turned up her nose at all of them. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction.
Terasa look her treats, called “Barnies,” to a local store. They sold like hotcakes, and within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, which forced her to move her operation to an Oshawa company.
Then a serious health problem threatened to derail her plans. Terasa called upon the same determination that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.
And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.
【1】Why did Terase try making her own cookies?
A.To be able to work from home.
B.To set up a business of her own.
C.To provide a healthy diet for Sierra.
D.To find a way to bond with the horse.
【2】What dues the underlined word “derail” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Reject. B.Develop. C.Launch. D.Ruin.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Terasa?
A.Determined and caring. B.Capable and courageous.
C.Ambitious and out-going. D.Strong-willed and humor.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A Remarkable recovery
B.Love me, Love my horse
C.A Labour of Love Inspires a Career
D.Animal Lover Lifts Limping Horse’s Spirits
23、If you walk around any large city, you’ll find a coffee shop on every corner. Many shops offer comfortable sofas, large screen televisions and sometimes even live music. More and more teenagers are hanging out there. My pre-teen has already done so after school once a month, but she always orders fruit juice. I think she would drink coffee sooner or later, so I started doing some research online.
I found that coffee in moderation (适度) could be safe, but one thing that was constant online was the chance of becoming addicted to coffee. Coffee is one step up from soda but still not as dangerous as energy drinks or alcohol. Still, any addiction is hard to break, so I needed to come up with a plan that would protect my child.
Coffee shops offer a safe place for teenagers to hang out. As like anything else you let your children do, you need to set limits. Drinking coffee while socializing once or twice a week won’t cause a severe caffeine addiction. However, you should avoid allowing a cup of coffee every morning and ensure they get adequate sleep each night, which will make them less likely to feel the need to drink coffee.
As parents, we have responsibility to set a good example. If you’re addicted to caffeine, it’s time to start monitoring your intake. If you drink much water and keep healthier drink options in your fridge and at your dinner table, your teenager will follow you. I drink much water and so do both my children. My kids learn more from watching me do things than they will ever learn from my verbal teaching.
As a mother, I’m ready to allow my child to try coffee and we’ll talk about it and discuss the pros and cons of consuming this. I feel open communication is vital in helping them make good decisions. Although the decision to drink coffee doesn’t pose the same dangers as underage drinking, it still deserves a thoughtful conversation.
【1】The author began to do research on coffee in order to _____
A. offer some good advice to coffee shops
B. guide her daughter to drink coffee properly
C. stop her daughter hanging out in coffee shops
D. let her daughter believe that fruit juice is healthy
【2】According to the passage, if teenagers have enough sleep, they_____
A. won’t ache for coffee that much
B. won’t hang out in coffee shops
C. won’t drink coffee forever
D. will drink water instead of coffee
【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
A. The author’s children don’t like to talk with her.
B. The author thinks a good example functions better.
C. The author is living in harmony with her children.
D. The author doesn’t want her children to learn from her.
【4】Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion according to the passage?
A. Teenagers should be stopped from entering coffee shops.
B. Coffee shops should not offer many options to teenagers.
C. Teenagers’ activities in coffee shops should be limited strictly.
D. Parents should not force their children to stop drinking coffee.
24、Learn to Cite Sources (引用资料)
During your university education, you’ll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. The academic challenge you face is to make something original. 【1】 Your original work is the basis for your professor’s evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. 【2】
Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the readers’ side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the research. 【3】
So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism (抄袭). 【4】 If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!
【5】 For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic requirements in the country you study in.
A．International students may cheat in different ways.
B．These include other scholars’ ideas, figures, graphs and so on.
C．On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your readers’ doubt.
D．Often, students want to use others’ opinions to support their own essays.
E．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectations.
F．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior.
G．That means you should go beyond what you learn from your textbooks or in the library.
