26、Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and was a son of a musical director. 【1】 He is remembered as a master of opera.
【2】 Many early forerunners of Impressionistic Music including Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, inspired him greatly.
Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini’s most popular and most performed works.
It’s a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 【3】
In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 【4】 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in south China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 【5】 In 1804 the song was published in a book by British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.
A．Turandot is performed regularly all over the world
B．At the end of the 18th century. it was first translated into English
C．It’s believed that Puccini’s operas are strong in emotion and conflict.
D．The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini’s death.
E．During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.
F．Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera
G．There are many different versions of Molihua or Jasmine Flower in different parts of China.
27、Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.
【1】What was the purpose of the study?
A．To find out today’s most popular English names.
B．To learn how names influence personality.
C．To find out whether names relate to their looks.
D．To show how men’s names are different from women’s.
【2】What can we infer from the study?
A．Volunteers found it easier to guess nicknames correctly.
B．Names may have different associations in different cultures.
C．Volunteers could guess the characteristics of those people.
D．The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same country.
【3】According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names?
A．They tend to become what others expect them to become.
B．They want to please everyone around them.
C．They don’t want to be different from others.
D．They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
【4】What point does the last paragraph want to explain?
A．Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.
B．Stereotypes about names can bring good results.
C．Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.
D．It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.
28、“It’s never too late to start something new”. Having had a long career in health care and academic achievement, Magi Sque found this advice totally inspiring as this is exactly what Magi Rose is all about!
When she was 17, Magi Sque—who then went by the name of Rosie—had the beginnings of a dream. On Saturdays she worked in the Calypso clothing factory in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and after each shift she handed her £5 wage to her mother. She was saving for her passage to England, where she hoped to become a nurse.
After eight years, Sque moved to Canada with her young daughter. There Sque completed a degree in nursing at Surrey University. She earned the masters certificate, too. At a talk on organ donation, she knew organ donors can save the lives of up to eight people. She became an expert, developing a theory of “dissonant loss”—the need for donor families to solve the imbalance between a loved one being clinically (临床上) brain dead and looking normal before they can agree to donation.
For five decades Sque practiced, studied and taught nursing, eventually becoming a professor at Wolver-hampton University, all the while nudging her dreams of being a fashion designer further into the future.
As she came to her 70th birthday, she began to think: “Oh no, not another paper to read, not another article to correct.” And then she heard herself say: “It’s time to move on.”
She tried out for a weekend course for startups and, in 2019, days before she turned 72, Sque set up Magi Rose—“special, fun to wear, for downtime and holidays”.
【1】How did Magi Sque get the money to realize her dream?
A．Being supported by her family.
B．Working part time on her own.
C．Going to Toronto to earn money.
D．Working on organ donation.
【2】Which of the following can best describe Magi’s achievement in organ donation?
A．Ordinary.
B．Traditional.
C．Effective.
D．Useless.
【3】What does the underlined word “nudging” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Pushing.
B．Forcing.
C．Dividing.
D．Changing.
【4】What can we learn from Magi Sque’s story?
A．Love breaks down barriers.
B．Education is the key to success.
C．One should follow suit to succeed.
D．There’s no end to pursuing one’s dream.
29、The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.
【1】The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _____.
A．making huge profits
B．traveling the Silk Road
C．exchanging goods and ideas
D．connecting different civilizations
【2】Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?
A．The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B．Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C．It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D．There were more natural water sources available.
【3】What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?
A．Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B．They were located around the edges of the desert.
C．Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D．They were shared by travelers from different countries.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The origins of the Silk Road.
B．The benefits of the Silk Road.
C．The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D．The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
