It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.

I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?

The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that's the sweeter tale, it's a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard.

It's difficult to learn to love something that didn't originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got "good enough," but because I learned that anything I had was good enough.

The love and hate I've had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.

24.What does the author want to show by telling a classic story?

A.The benefits of music.

B.Kids' struggle in learning instruments.

C.Kids' bittersweet childhood.

D.The popularity of learning instruments.

25.What can we know about the author's experience of playing the piano?

B.She never treated it as her hobby.

C.She was in pure love with music and piano.

D.She once experienced great pressure from herself.

26.What helped the author find confidence?

A.Her attitude.         B.Her training.

C.Her compromise.    D.Her achievement.

27.What message is mainly delivered in the passage?

A.Practice makes perfect.

B.Love is a thing that grows.

C.Content is better than riches.

D.Chance favors the prepared mind.

Around the globe far more bird species are losing ground than gaining, according to an expansive review of a half-century of bird population research published in the journal Annual Review of Environment and Resources in May.

The review, entitled The State of the World's Birds, showed that more than 5,200 different species of birds-just shy of half the world's total-are known or suspected to be declining. Around 3,800 species are relatively stable, and fewer than 700 species show increases. Among birds on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, almost 400 birds worldwide have had their conservation status changed for the worse in the past three decades (moving from vulnerable to threatened,or threatened to endangered)-five times more than the number of bird species with an IUCN status that has changed for the better.

“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone (according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science), it was disturbing to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says review coauthor Ken Rosenberg, a conservation scientist now retired from the Cormell Lab of Omithology.

The review points to disappearing and degraded habitat-resulting from climate change, urbanization, agricultural intensification, and international trade-as the leading driver of bird declines worldwide. In a note of hope, the authors cite a 2020 study indicating that restoring just 5% of habitat in priority areas around the world could avert 60% of likely extinctions.

Lead author Alexander Lees, a research associate at the Cormell Lab, also points to the need for substantial changes in human behavior to prevent further losses. “Loss and degradation of habitat is often driven by demand for resources,” says Lees. “We need to better consider how commodity flows such as beef, oil, and seed crops can contribute to biodiversity loss and try to reduce the human footprint on the natural world.”

28.In what order are threatened species arranged on the IUCN's Red List?

A.Species quantity.   B.Living habitat.  C.Declining rate.  D.Conservation status.

29.How does Ken Rosenberg feel when saying the words?

A.Hopeful.    B.Relieved.    C.Doubtful.   D.Concerned.

30.What does the underlined“avert" mean in paragraph 4?

A.Prevent.    B.Increase.    C.Cause.     D.Face.

31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Extra reasons for bird extinction.

B.Possible solutions to habitat loss.

C.Substantial changes in human behavior.

D.The prospect of biodiversity loss.

Why do some men settle down to form families with the mothers of their children, and others don't? Biology plays a role. Work published by Lee Gettler of the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana, clarifies how testosterone, the principal male hormone (荷尔蒙)，operates.

Previous studies suggest that high levels of testosterone are bad for family life. Fathers with lower testosterone levels provide more child care while high-testosterone males are less likely to stick around. Dr Gettler has shown something further. This is that a man's adult testosterone level seems correlated with whether his father was present during his teenage years.

His data come from a survey begun in the Philippines in 1983. This monitored the health and nutrition of 966 men enrolled as babies. It also collected extensive information on whether the fathers of these men were around and providing parental care in the households. It further documented whether participants got married, had children and whether they participated in child care. Crucially, it also measured their testosterone levels at the ages of 21, 26 and 30.

Overall, Dr Gettler and his colleagues found that on becoming fathers, men had lower testosterone levels if their own fathers had been involved in their care during their teenage years. It has two possible explanations. One is that it is directly genetic (基因的). The other is that teenage experience actually modulates (调节) testosterone levels. This explanation, which Dr Gettler favors, could lead to high-testosterone men abandoning their sons, who thus become high-testosterone in their turn.

He also found some of those in the survey whose fathers were absent during their adolescence, and who ended up with high levels of the hormone, did become caring fathers. Why this pattern should exist is an unanswered question. But a zoologist looking at these data might take it as an example of developmental plasticity (可塑性)，in which the same genes produce different, but appropriate, outcomes in different circumstances.

Dr Gettler’s discovery throws a useful light on the problem of fatherless families,and how to try to end it.

32.What is Gettler's study mainly about?

A.Family life.           B.Fathers’ roles.

C.Adult testosterone.    D.Child care.

33.What can be learnt about Dr Gettler’s study?

A.It was conducted among babies.

B.The finding is far from satisfactory.

C.The data used were relatively reliable.

D.It monitored the nutrition of participants.

34.Why is the zoologist mentioned in the passage?

A.To suggest a follow-up study.

B.To contradict Gettler’s ideas.

C.To point out the study limitations.

D.To give a possible explanation.

35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A.Like Father, Like Son?

B.Caring Father, Happy Son?

C.Good Father, Good Son.

D.Love Me, Love My Son.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I'm smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground,sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.

I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!

“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really? I could never notice any.”

One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition (试演)，when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)！You're just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练)，though I only had two lines.

Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene,she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it,her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez's dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn't onstage,we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.

The night of the show,my first line came early, “Let's ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.

“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
