One night in November, Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in a theatre. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that becoming a violinist is not a small 11for him. He had to walk 12the help of two walking sticks as a result of the disease he caught as a child.
People sat 13while he made his way to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went 14. Just as he finished the first few parts of the music, one of the strings(弦) on his violin 15. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn’t. 16, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then 17the conductor(指挥) to begin again. The orchestra began and he played with such strong feelings and purity as they had 18heard before.
Of course, everyone knows that it is 19for a violinist to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, 20that night Itzhak Perlman didn’t want to accept that.
When he finished, there was a terrible 21in the room. And then people rose and 22 from every corner of the theatre.
Perlman was excited. He smiled and said, "You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to 23 how much music you can still make with what you have left."
So, suppose our task in this fast-changing world is to make 24—at first we should try our best with all that we have. And then, 25it is no longer possible, try to play it with what we have left.

Rock art is the name given to pictures drawn on rock by ancient peoples. In the American Southwest, rock art can be seen on the walls of caves and mountains. Many of these places are in the Four Corners area, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than
7,000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the area’s dry climate (气候) has helped keep the art.
There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs, which are pictures carved (雕刻) into the surface of rock. A sharp (尖利的) stone may have been used as a carving tool. A heavy stone may have been used to hit the sharp stone into the surface. The second form of rock art is pictographs, which are pictures painted on the rock. The paint was made from plants and trees. The artists painted with fingers, brushes made from hair, or bird bones. The third kind of rock art is geoglyphs, which are designs made in the ground by taking away stones.
Some rock art shows faces, hands, animals, and trees. Other pictures are symbols such as lines, circles, and squares. Some scientists think these symbols marked the location of water or good hunting grounds. Some think the symbols were put there during special celebrations. Others think the symbols showed the movement of planets and stars. Still others believe that they were just doodles.
Some rock art may be a form of writing. Large scenes are shown on mountains. Some scenes seem to tell a story. A hunting scene may include animals and people with hunting tools. A scene with many people holding hands could mean friendship. Rock art in
caves may have been a way to decorate the artist’s home.
Some rock art in the Southwest is about 200 years old. Other rock art may be 10,000 years old. Scientists think an ancient people called the Anasazi created the older works. They were farmers and lived in caves.
28.The writer mainly wants .
A. to introduce an ancient art form

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing—an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏)—has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop—a style of dance that is best known for a break away or "swing out" move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh—the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)—which was titled "Lindy Hops the Atlantic". Then the watcher announced that the "Lindy Hop" was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hop was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的)backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night
away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.
32.The writing purpose of this passage is .
A. to introduce a popular form of dance
B. to discover the fun secrets of a dance
C. to tell stories about an energetic dance
D. to describe the special moves of a dance
33.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "demise"?
A. Challenge.
B. Change.
C. Development.
D. Death.
34.What can we learn about Swing?
A. It’s a lively dance with strict rules.
B. It has a close connection to a pilot.
C. It has a history of around 90 years.
D. It attracts mostly young black people.
35.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers.
B. The name was changed from "Lindy Hop" to "Swing" in the 1940s.
C. The movements of different swing dancers always look the same.
D. The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history.

"Without music, life would be a mistake," famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because m usic is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
36.Some schools in the US cut music classes, because .
A. students in the US weren’t interested in music
B. they were too difficult to learn
C. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US
D. the schools wanted to control budgets
37.In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word "them" refer to(指代)?
A. Public schools.
B. Fired teachers.
C. Parents in Chicago.
D. Students in Chicago.
38.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
39.How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
40.What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?
A. Music is as simple as it looks.
B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C. Music is a big part of our lives.
D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.
