On hearing Zhou’s beautiful voice one day, her music teacher encouraged her to get over her natural shyness and become the lead vocalist of the school’s choir, which planted the seed of music in Zhou’s heart, and she went on to become a music teacher in a primary school in Anhua in 2014.She set up a choir in the school, which, however, was put on pause in 2017. She said the children loved choral singing, but the level and method of teaching choral singing were not up to the mark in the small village.In 2019, Zhou was able to restart the choir in the school thanks to Edit Lanczky, a music teacher from Beijing Hungarian Cultural Institute, who came to the school along with herHungarian coworkers not only to teach the children how to sing, but also to train the local music teachers to make choral singing a part of the school’s music education programs.“Singing is the simplest and most direct way for children to learn and enjoy music,” Zhou said, adding that Lanczky and her coworkers used several interesting techniques like role-playing games to make learning music fun for the students She continued, “I believe that music should be accessible to everyone. I feel very touched and proud when I see the smiles on children’s faces, when they sing in a choir. In fact, singing in a choir is beyond music itself. The children become more confident and sociable.”4．What can we know about Zhou?A．She wrote In the Field of Hope.B．Her teacher led her way to music.C．She was a music teacher from Beijing.D．She never saw a piano until she became a teacher.5．Why did the choir stop in 2017?A．It was short of money.B．It had few students.C．It had a low teaching level.D．It was denied by students’ parents.6．How did Edit Lanczky and her coworkers support Zhou’s choir?A．They gave them a piano.B．They had a talk with the local government.C．They stayed on as official teachers in the choir.D．They guided both the students and local music teachers.7．How does Zhou find learning music?A．It increases students’ confidence.B．It costs a lot.C．It makes students creative.D．It is boring.A 2010 national law that improved nutrition(营养)standards for school meals may have begun to help slow the rise in obesity(肥胖)among America’s children according to a study. The study found a small but significant fall in the average BMI(体重指数)of more than 14,000 school kids aged 5 to 18 after carrying out the program of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which was the first national law to improve the nutritional balance of school meal offerings inmore than 20 years. It increased the quantity of fruits, vegetables and whole grains required in school meals.The study shows that improving the quality of school meals by law might be one way to help stop the possibilities of childhood obesity, which has been rising for decades and now affects about 1 in 5 US kids.The new study reviewed nationwide data(数据)from 50 groups of schoolchildren from January 2005 to August 2016, before the law took effect, and data from September 2016 to March 2020, after it was fully carried out. It found that a BMI for children fell by 0.041 units per year, compared with that of before the law took effect. That amounts to about a quarter of one BMI unit per year, Aruna Chandran, a professor from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said.At the same time, significant decreases in BMI measures were seen not only in kids aged 5 to 11, but also in those aged 12 to 18. “That’s a great change, ” Chandran said. “There are kid who potentially have their own right to buy their own snacks.”The new results come within days of the introduction of updated standards for school meals, including the first limits on added sugars, decreased sodium and increased flexibility for whole grains. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the study shows that healthy school meals are “important for dealing with diet-related conditions like obesity.”8．What’s the purpose of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010?A．To improve school meals.B．To record the change of BMI.C．To check medical conditions.D．To help end hunger.9．How did the study learn about the effect of the program?A．By collecting stories.B．By presenting examples.C．By making a comparison.D．By giving reasons.10．How did Chandran feel about the program?A．Uninterested.B．Satisfied C．Worried.D．Confused.11．In which part of a newspaper can we probably find the text?A．Health.B．Sport.C．History.D．Science.Youth soccer coach Pierre Hedji has set up the club DCXI to give kids in Washington,D．C．a chance to learn soccer and compete. Unlike most of the clubs, DCXI has a kind of pay-what-you-can model designed for people who spend much money on professional services.“This is the center of pay-to-play,” Kevin Salandy, a software consultant, says after a DCXI’s winning game against the once best team from the state. “There’s a lot of money in DCXI club. That’s why they have these excellent teams.”While DCXI’s pay-what-you-can model may be like what Salandy said, it has a lot of critics(批评者)who say it’s not benefiting kids or the sport as a whole.“Some families make such a pay-to-play in club soccer because they can. It’s fun for their kids, and there may be benefits that come out of it,” says Lindsey Blom, a professor of sport at Ball State University, but for the low-income(低收入)families, that may mean spending half of their yearly income.DCXI doesn’t make sure a kid will receive the best coaching all the time, either. Blom says, “People think that the more they put into their kids’ experience financially, the more successful they’re going to be and the more successful they’re going to get out of it. But the truth isn’t often to be the case.”Peter Guthrie, a youth soccer coach, says, “In some cases, people choosing DCXI believe that this is going to be the path for their kids to receive college scholarships. So they have to do well as a10-year-old in order to get what they want.” In fact, a small part of high school soccer players receive scholarships to play in college.Another problem with DCXI: inequity on school teams. Kids who can’t afford club soccer could play on their high school teams where it’s generally free. But in tryouts, they often have to compete against more experienced kids who come from families that can pay for clubs. 12．What does Salandy mean in paragraph 2?A．DCXI is faced with a lot of critics.B．DCXI was once the best.C．Money plays a key role in DCXI’s success.D．DCXI kids hardly competed. 13．How does DCXI influence low-income families according to Lindsey Blom?A．It puts too much pressure on them.B．It helps their kids go to college.C．It fails to bring fun to their kids.D．It ensures their kids receive scholarships.14．What does the underlined word “inequity” mean in the last paragraph?A．Boredom.B．Laziness.C．Unfairness.D．Irresponsibility.15．What is the best title for the text?A．The History of DCXI B．DCXI—Good or Bad?C．How to Choose a Club D．DCXI—out of Reach for Adults?If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade. Even though revising things you already learned might seem boring, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with the material. 16Study in 1-hour blocks.Keep your study time shorter so you don’t get tired. Set aside (留出) an hour for each of your subjects so you have time to revise them. 17 In this way, you don’t get information mixed up between classes.18Step away for a few minutes every hour so you don’t feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour where you just relax. Avoid working through the breaks.Schedule time to study every day.Try to set aside a regular time to go over notes for class. 19 So, you’re able to focus a little better. If you can, try to plan the same time every day so you can get into a regular routine (惯例).Work somewhere quiet.20 Avoid studying in a room with other loud people or distractions since it’ll be hard to focus and remember the material. Instead, go into your room and shut the door, or find a quiet spot at the school library where you can sit.A．Plan regular breaks.B．Revise your notes in your own words.C．Only focus on one subject at a time during each block.D．Find a time when you feel the most energetic to study.E．We’ll start by looking at some tips on forming the best study habits!F．Find a place where you won’t have trouble concentrating on the material.G．If you live with others, ask them to be quiet when you plan your study time.二、完形填空I live with my husband Jack in Iowa, which is far away from Florida. One day, my husband suddenly decided to play 21 in Florida.“Why Florida?” I wanted to know. “We are so busy every day with our work.

An amusement park where we thought we might find a story had shut down for the season. We began to get a little discouraged.When passing a farmhouse, we found a banner（横幅）in the front yard. The banner said in huge letters: WELCOME HOME, ROGER! We drove on for a mile or two. Somebody said, " wonder who Roger is ?" We turned around, went back and knocked on the door.Roger was a soldier on his way home from the Vietnam War. His family knew he was coming, but weren't sure what day he was going to arrive. We asked if they 'd mind if we brought the camera into the house. Roger's mother said it would be all right if we could give her a few minutes to fix her hair. We weren't there more than an hour, talking to those people who were all excited about Roger coming home.That afternooon I wrote a simple story letting Roger represent all the soldiers coming home from war.

There were dozens of calls from people moved by it, and hundreds of letters came in, some of them suggesting that the story be repeated.That hour with Roger's family made it a good trip to Ohio, after all. I had done a lot of careful planning for the week's work, but in vain.
