21、Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say they just don’t make good music like they used to. Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical tastes begin to become clear as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.
There could be a biological explanation for this, as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies weakens with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all “sound the same.”
But there are maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s dislike to newer music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect”, which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it.
This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to. When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.
For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s nothing wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.
【1】What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?
A.They no longer listen to new music.
B.They find all music sounds the same.
C.They can make subtle distinctions about music.
D.They seldom listen to songs released in their teens.
【2】Which of the following situations agrees with the “mere exposure effect”?
A.Tom likes the book, so he reads it more times.
B.Andy recites the words repeatedly and he is fed up with them.
C.Mike often listens to the same song and becomes more and more interested in it.
D.Peter goes to school by bike every day, and therefore his riding skills are better and better.
【3】What conclusion can we draw according to the psychology research?
A.Teenagers are much more sensitive.
B.Teenagers are much more emotional.
C.Teenagers’ preferences are more lasting.
D.Teenagers’ emotions are more intense.
【4】What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A.Quality issues of new music.
B.Older people’s dislike of new music.
C.Older people’s changing musical tastes.
D.Insights into the features of good music.
22、It was a moment carved in her memory. When Liu Jing played the suite of Dream of the Red Chamber, which is based on a novel of the same title written by Cao Xueqin during the Qing Dynasty, in the University of Cambridge as a member of a Chinese ensemble in 2011, something strange happened. As she played A Lovesick Knitted Brow in Vain, which describes the failed love story between two main characters Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in the novel, an old woman who sat in the first row of the audience burst into tears.
She was curious and asked the woman, at the end of the performance, if she had read the novel. The woman said: “No, but I just felt the melody touched me very much when it was created by your Chinese instrument.”
The experience was one of the inspirations that urged Liu to promote traditional Chinese music and instruments. Many years later, Liu, who is in her thirties now, has shared a series of original music videos featuring traditional Chinese stories and created by Chinese instruments, with her online name Liu Qingyao. They have become hugely popular.
According to Liu, the frequent performances and competitions sharpened her pipa-playing skills. “From grade four at primary school to senior high school, I often completed my homework on my way to other countries during many weekends and vacations,” said Liu.
“In the future, I want to cooperate with more museums, and try to tell the stories of cultural relics in my musical works, so that people enjoy the beauty of both Chinese music and cultural relics, and appreciate Chinese culture,” said Liu.
【1】Why did the old woman burst into tears during Liu Jing’s performance?

23、阅读理解。阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
Papa’s jaw dropped when Mama told him that Sister had cheated on her final exams—not to succeed but to fail. “It’s unbelievable!” he said. “Sister has always been so proud of her good grades!”
“Yes, she has,” said Mama. “But it’s not unbelievable. It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.”
“She never said anything about that to me.” said Papa.
“Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt?”
“Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.”
“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama, “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”
“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled (嘟哝). “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”
Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.
“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “Your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”
Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. She ran to Papa and jumped into his arms, giving him a big hug. “I’m going to play cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”
From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house.
“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.

24、Destination Unknown
Cheap "blind box" plane tickets become a popular choice for travel.
A promotion offering $15 plane tickets is being advertised by an online travel platform. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one rule. 【1】 Labeled as a "destination blind box" on the site, tickets are bought through a rather simple booking procedure. Passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their money to book the ticket. 【2】 But once they "lock in" their tickets, there's no money going back.
"Plane ticket blind box" is now a hot topic on the online platforms. Henry Fan, a marketing expert said, "I believe young people are a big target group for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities. 【3】 What matters is that it suggests that one has 'adventurous' and 'life-loving' qualities."
Many netizens share the screenshots (截图) of tickets they have drawn. 【4】 Some others claim it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal.
"If it wants to be a profitable activity, the release of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems. 【5】The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive. If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is low," said an expert in tourism.
A.It will not have popular airlines.
B.It doesn't matter if they finally go or not.
C.The promotion has become a hot topic on social media.
D.The upcoming holiday is expected to be a major travel period.
E.If the date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund.
F.Some even teach the booking procedure under the free canceling policy.
G.The purchaser is not told where the flight is heading or when it will take off.
