Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an i nterview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4.

Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A．Expert and confident. B．Creative and careful.C．Learned and proud. D．Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during the past 50 years. Deforestation is not only threatening the millions of unique plant and animal species native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. W hen it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection. “There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of l ife and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8. Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees. B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species. D．Polluting the rivers.9. What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather. B．The removal of CO 2 .C．More people with high blood pressure. D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster.10. How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons. B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition. D．By making a summary.11. What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Positive. D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of t he study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies. B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends. D．Surfing the internet.13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning.14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening. B．Awkward. C．Hopeless. D．Encouraging.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of the benefits that come with it. 16 Therefore, take your time and start by reading slowly. The following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love of wanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed. 18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value an d then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheering wildly.

They have to head inside, knowing that floors could fall down under them and roofs could fall on their heads. One wrong decision might mean death.Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy.“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day.” That’s quite an understatement to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while attacking a fire. But Telfer says that fires and tension can be conquered in the same way: ongoing physical and mental training.Telfer was a runner in college, but nowadays he builds up his lung ability for life-threatening conditions instead of races. He might climb hundreds of steps, wearing 34 kilograms of gear(装备), including oxygen tanks. He may carry sufferers to safety. No matter what he does, he must control his breathing.His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. To respond to disasters effectively, they study a wide range of subjects such as emergency (紧急) medicine, structural(结构的) design and chemical reactions. They practice quickly judging the changing conditions of a fire. “It is why we love the job,” Telfer says. “We are continuo usly learning.”Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” Danger might be waiting as he heads to work each day. But his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the roar of a great fire.4. Why did Telfer change his job?A．He would like to challenge himself.B．He wanted to get a high paying job.C．He had been dreaming of being a firefighter.D．He was unfit for working in a software company.5. What do firefighters need to survive the fire?A．They need strong lung ability for races.B．They need to study how to design buildings.C．They need more body health than mental preparation.D．They need mental preparation in addition to body health.6. What can we learn about Telfer from the last paragraph?A．He regrets leaving the software company.B．He has faced many difficulties in his former job.C．He finds his job challenging but still a right choice.D．He once thought of giving up the job as a firefighter.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Firefighting HeroB．Firefighters To The RescueC．Firefighter: A Challenging JobD．From A Software Specialist To A First ResponderOut of a total of 308, 000 entries in the Oxford English Dictionary, just 366 words begin with the letter “x”, and very few of those make it into most people’s vocabulary. However, the letter is welcomed in popular culture and by brands, such as X-Files, X-Factor, X-man, X-rays and Planet X.The letter “x” has had somewhat puzzling –history, perhaps contributing to its malleable(可塑的) meanings. It first came from a Phoenician letter called “samekh”, meaning fish. The Creeksborr owed it, called it “Chi”, used it for the “kh” sound and wrote it as a cross. The Romans later adopted the “x” sound from Chalcidian alphabet (字母表), a Western variant of the Greek alphabet, and combined it with the “Chi” ( x) symbol and “x” as we know it t oday was born.The tech industry seems to have a particular preference for the letter. This week, the 24th letter of the alphabet was the focus of the spotlight once again, as Elon Musk announced an unexpected rename of Twitter — the social media company h e bought in October 2022 for $44 bn. The site’s iconic(图标的) blue bird logo is no more, replaced by a black letter “X”, part of Musk’s long-term plan to be a “platform that can deliver, well ... everything.” And he also named an early Tesla car Model X, and his space exploration programme Space X.Besides Musk’s X , there’s Microsoft’s gaming console Xbox, Sony’s Xperia smartphone, Apple’s iPhone X and operating system OS X. In 2010, Google chose the letter for the name of its secret idea-testing laboratory, first known as Google x and now simply X.So why do the tech giants prefer “x”, this one single letter, when there are 25 others they could use instead? Tony Thorne, Director of the Slang and New Language Archive at King’s College, London, thought its shape can signify everything from love ( the kiss we used to end our emails and texts), to absence, and even death ( as with the skull and crossbones ). “It’s impressive and people see it as an attempt to appear enigmatic- a symbol of unknowns and possibilities,” he tells BBC Culture.8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．How the letter “x” changed the history.B．How the letter “x” was created by the Greeks.C．How the letter “x” developed and came into being.D．How the letter “x” was originally used by Phoenicians.9. Why are other tech companies mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To stress the importance of the letter.B．To list the reasons why they prefer the letter.C．To further show tech companies favor the letter.D．To provide the historical background of the letter.10. What does the unde rlined word “enigmatic” mean in the last paragraph?A．Attractive. B．Mysterious. C．Typical. D．Intelligent.11. What can we know about the letter “x”?A．Its shape seldom appears in our daily life.B．It’s powerful and charming in the tech industry.C．Words that begin with the letter are widely used.D．The sounds of the letter are the same through history.At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. Fortunately, people’s facial expressions, movements and positions can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds.12 , but Joe Navarro’s book What Everybody is Saying can help develop that ability.According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important. 13 . Most facial expressions and positions can mean several different things, so figure out when people use certain expressions. Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and positions indicate a reaction to something you said or not.14 . Even when people don’t lie dire ctly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings. Whether you are communicating with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own.When people think of body language, the first thing that comes to mind is the facial expressions. Some people have become good at controlling their facial expressions to hide their emotions. When dealing with someone like that, look at the rest of their bodies, especially their feet and legs. 15 . However, if someone feels uncomfortable, they may point their feet away from the person they are speaking to.Nearness to other people is part of body language. People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people the y don’t like. 16 . Sitting or standing up straight canshow that someone feels confident, while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel defensive or uncomfortable.Body language can communicate a lot about people’s thoughts and feelings, and thu s, help you understand them.A Human Chain, as they called themselves, risking their lives to rescue two boys from drowning(溺水), is still remembered.One sunny afternoon, on the Sunny Beach, two boys, Mike and Jim, walked into the waves without the adults ______ When about 80 yards from the shore, they realized the sea________them further and further.
