21、Fifty years ago, the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (嘘声). The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States.
The mid-1960s were a time of great change. One such place of change was the world of folk music. Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic (原声的) to electric guitar.
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change. It is called " Dylan Goes Electric. " “There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records. And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all had huge, huge, huge number-one records. "
And then this happened: The "British Invasion" introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music. That worried many folk musicians, says Elijah Wald. They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue. However, a new Dylan sound came from the stage.
Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were not pleased. "When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that - wait a minute, he's gone over to the enemy. "
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll. But, author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music. " Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music. "
In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan. He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he
knew "they were pointing to the direction where music had to go. "
Beyond the music, Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.
【1】How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival?
A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied.
C. Respectful. D. Bored.
【2】Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald?
A. Great changes had taken place in folk music.
B. People had grown sincere love for rock music.
C. Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.
D. Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.
【3】What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do?
A. Change folk music for better.
B. Recover the glory of folk music.
C. Introduce the world to the Beatles.
D. Play rock and roll against the Beatles.
【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?
A. Dylan's deep love for the Beatles' rock and roll music.
B. Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go.
C. Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music.
D. Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture.
22、For years, Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop. Despite its being so close to home, they preferred to dine in, and always tipped generously when they did. But, during the pandemic in 2020, the cafe temporarily closed, then reopened—for takeout orders only. So their new routine became to order online, go pick up their food, and eat it at home. 【1】
That is, until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them. “I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong, because you never leave a tip,” she said. Eric attempted to explain: “Because we aren’t being waited on, we didn’t think tipping was necessary.” 【2】 “She stormed off.” Jessica says.
The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips. Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all, while others don’t interact with customers the same way. 【3】 Meanwhile, many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.
“【4】 We were tipping based on emotion, and that may not have had anything to do with the service. And that service also became harder to assess.” says Toni Dupree, a professional etiquette (礼仪) coach. Some old standards no longer seem fair, and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.
Next time, in Dupree’s view, you’re unsure whether a tip is in order, follow this simple rule: 【5】 The novelist George Eliot asked, “What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” Dupree adds: “Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”
A．When in doubt, tip.
B．That made it worse.
C．It is service itself that counts.
D．Tipping never crossed their minds.
E．To enjoy good services, tipping is a must.
F．Just as many services have changed, so should tipping.
G．Tips dried up in either case, causing a lot of people to suffer.
23、At some point in our lives, most of us have attended a school or university lecture. These learning sessions give us some insightful and valuable knowledge or can be something we yawn through, trying to keep awake. Whatever our experience, lectures have been and still are the most common teaching method in education. But will they exist in the future?
With the growth of the Internet and so much information at our fingertips, you may think there is no need to gather together at a fixed location holding a handful of textbooks. BBC journalist Matt Pickles says, “Research has shown that students remember as little as 10 percent of their lectures just days afterwards.”
Professor Carl Wieman, who campaigns against the traditional lecture, felt talking at students and expecting them to absorb knowledge was not that effective so he introduced “active learning” that encourages problem solving in small groups. He listens to them and guides their discussions. The result has improved exam results. Other new alternatives to the lecture have included peer-to-peer learning and project-based learning that enable students to link up and work cooperatively on projects such as building a computer game.
But new learning methods can come at a high financial cost compared to the relatively cheap way of being taught face to face by an academic. The real issue according to Professor Dan Butin, founding dean of the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, is that “Academics put thousands of hours of work into their books and much less time into thinking about the effectiveness of their teaching style.” But he says, “The lecture has survived because research, not teaching, determines the success of a university and its academics.”
So if research quality is a measure of a university’s success and money is tight, then the lecture could be here for a little longer.
【1】What may Matt Pickles agree with?
A．Students have a poor memory.
B．Students don’t work hard enough.
C．Lectures are not so effective as expected.
D．The Internet offers far more information than lectures.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Teaching projects.
B．Learning strategies.
C．Alternatives to lectures.
D．Ways of communication.
【3】Why will lectures still exist in the future according to Professor Dan Butin?
A．They promote active learning.
B．They call for the least memory work.
C．They determine the success of a university.
D．They contribute to academic achievements.
【4】How does the author develop the passage?
A．By analyzing data.
B．By listing opinions.
C．By making comparison.
D．By concluding general rules.
24、 A year ago I lost my wonderful friend and colleague Rachael Bland. She died at the age of just 40, two years after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Her death knocked me for six. I knew it was coming and we had talked about it—but nothing prepared me for actually not having her in my life every day. The thing was, while we only knew each other for a short period of time, she had a huge impact on me. When I got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, I made a whole new group of friends. Rachael was up there with the best of them. She understood exactly what I was going through, she shared my fears and was always there at 3 am to reassure me. She was my rock.
After Rachael died, I had a nervous breakdown. I hit numerous brick walls in the weeks and months that followed. My cancer was progressing and I fell into a dark place. I pushed it away but ignored the terror of it all and inevitably it all came crashing down around me. Great Sorrow hit me when I least expected. Her death felt like a bad dream. The emotional bit aside, one of the things I found really hard was to actually accept she died.
Rachael hoped that by starting the conversation around cancer, she could help other women avoid getting cancer too. It was her absolute determination and bravery at helping to break down taboos (禁忌) that will live on for generations to come.
Rachael showed me how to live with cancer. Even in her darkest days she was determined to show that cancer didn’t get to take over. She helped remind me to get busy living with cancer rather than worry about dying of it. She was in the bottom of my heart forever.
【1】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.I was beaten six times.
B.Her death gave me the strength.
C.She was knocked down and died.
D.Her death made me very shocked.
【2】Why did the author hit the brick walls?
A.She wanted to end up her life.
B.She couldn’t stand the pain of cancer.
C.She had been suffering from nightmares.
D.She was too sorrowful to accept Rachael’s death.
【3】What is Rachael’s wish?
A.To help women fight against fear.
B.To assess women’s conversational skills.
C.To prevent other women from getting cancer.
D.To inspire sick people to hope for their future.
【4】Which of the following best describes Rachael?
A.Optimistic. B.Weak.
C.Humorous. D.Demanding.
