Paul Wittgenstein had been born into an upper-class Austrian family on November 5,1887. He grew up in a mansion full of activity and music. His great-uncle, Josef Joachim, was a famous violinist, and as a youth, Paul often accompanied him on the piano. He also studied with Teodor Leschetizky,who had taught many great pianists.

Music critics（评论家）had predicted an admirable future for Paul Wittgenstein as a concert pianist, but that was before he was forced into the Austrian Army near the beginning of World War I. In August of 1914, a bullet broke his right arm and the doctor amputated it.

It seemed Paul's dream of being a concert pianist was over. At first, the thought of playing the piano with one hand seemed a cruel joke. After further reflection,he thought,why not? His depression turned to determination, and he decided that his missing right arm wouldn't end his music career.

Near the end of World War I，Paul gave his first left-handed piano recital（演奏会）.The critics were surprised. His playing had improved, they said, despite his missing arm. Paul's strong determination to play concert music inspired great composers to create works intended for the left hand.They were touched by his courage and excited by the challenge of writing music for a one-handed pianist. Paul performed their compositions throughout Europe.

When it was over, the audience rose for a standing applause and cheered wildly. They recognized that a master composer had written a masterpiece for a master artist. A few weeks later in Monte Carlo, Paul again performed the concerto, and again he received high praise.

The Concerto for the Left Hand,which Maurice Ravel wrote for Paul,has become part of musical history.Great pianists everywhere perform it. But it's more than wonderful music-it is also a monument（见证）to the courage and persistence of a man who could have given up because of his injury, but didn't.

24.Why did the critics think Paul had an admirable future?

A.He was born in a noble family.

C.He often held musical activities.

B.He had access to music learning.

D.He made his relatives musicians.

25.What does the underlined word “amputate” mean in paragraph 2?

A.Cut off.

B. Attend to.

C.Take up.

D.Fit in.

26.Which of the following can best describe Paul?

A.Active and modest.

C.Hardworking and honest.

B. Brave and determined.

D.Patient and humorous.

27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Musical Masterpiece.

C. Back from The War.

B. Music Craze in Austria.

D.With Just One Hand.

Long before the pandemic（疫情），many adults turned to toys from Legos to collectible items to tap into their inner childhood for comfort. But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated（刺激）and strengthened the trend， according to Jim Silver， editor-in-chief of a toy review site.

This so-called “kid-adult” market is significant. Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U.S. toy industry sales, or $5.7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc., a market research firm. This group also enjoyed the second-fastest increase after customers aged 12 to 17.

Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald's tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.

Loren Brereton,61,was recently visiting the American Girl store with her granddaughter Alana,7.She said that during the pandemic, she took comfort looking at her own daughter's dolls. She also pulled out some of her son's Lego's and other toys and played with them. And she was thinking of buying a few playthings for herself. “All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you

needed it,”she said.“And you needed it.”

“The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,”said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, “But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic.”

28.What do we know about the U.S. toy industry?

A.It drew more adults than teenagers.

C. It saw a big growth in adult market.

B.It used to be no attraction to adults.

D.It brought customers health problems.

29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.Adult toys gradually took over the toy industry.

B.Adults had easy access to toys intended for adults.

C.Many companies launched products targeted at adults.

D.Some companies producing adult toys were established.

30.What do toys bring Loren Brereton?

A.Inspiration.

B. Satisfaction.

C.Regret.

D.Comfort.

31.Which of the following will Jim Silver and Genevieve Cruz both agree with?

A.Adults are the main target of the toy industry.

B.Adult toys won't be popular after the pandemic.

C.Health problems created the craze for adult toys.

D.The pandemic worked as a stimulus to adult toys.

If you hold up a seashell to your ear, you will hear the sea, no matter how far inland you currently are. In fact, it is not the case. So, what's actually going on here?

One popular explanation is that you are listening to your own blood coursing through you. Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn't hold water.“Press your ear to a shell and listen,then run around on the beach for a few minutes to increase the blood flow all through your body,and again listen to your magic shell,” Kruszelnicki wrote.“You'll find that the loudness of the "sound of the sea ‘is still the same.”

If we truly were hearing the sound of our blood rushing through our bodies, that wouldn't be the case: exercising makes your blood pressure rise, which would thus increase the supposed sounds being “reflected” by the shell. The fact that we don't hear a difference before and after

exercise, therefore, makes quite an evident statement.

There's another idea that the “sea” you can hear in a shell is actually air-air flowing through the shell and out again, which creates the noise. “In a soundproof room, you won't hear anything from a shell,” confirmed Andrew King, director of the University of Oxford's Centre for Integrative Neuroscience. “Background noise must be present." That's the biggest clue as to what's really going on here: the sounds we hear “inside” seashells are not coming from inside our bodies, but rather around them.

“You are hearing surrounding or background noise that has been increased in amplitude（振幅）by the physical characteristic of the seashell，”King explained， “the specific sounds we hear within a shell depend on the exact shape of itself-the hard, curved surfaces inside the shell cause the sound waves that enter to bounce around, increasing some frequencies while reducing others.

Seashells may be the most poetic of ways to experience this resonance（共振），but they＇re definitely not the only method - pretty much any convex（凹面的）surface will do.

32.What is the author's attitude toward the blood theory in paragraph 2?

A.Opposing.

B.Supportive.

C.Defensive.

D.Unconcerned.

33. What can we infer from Andrew King's words?

A. Background noise can be heard in a soundproof room.

B.The sound from seashells is the changed noise around you.

C.The shape of seashells can help produce the same sea sound.

D.Sound waves can bounce around to increase them in your ears.

34.What is the text mainly about?

A.Why you can hear the sea from a seashell.

B.How people explore the secret of seashells.

C.Why popular beliefs sometimes prove wrong.

D.How scientists produce a sound as a seashell does.

35.What do you think the author will mention next?

A.Different types of seashells.

C.The sound in soundproof rooms.

B.Causes of the sea sound.

D.Ways to set off resonance.
