Many teenagers like listening to music in their spare time. Can you imagine that a 15-year-old girl has attracted nearly 1.7 million music followers on China’s leading video-sharing platform Bilibili and made national headlines?

Zhang Yuxuan, who is better known as Vicky Xuanxuan on social media, can turn many things into melody in her music world—a box of candies, pens and glass bottles. She records the sounds around her and mixes them into songs.

Yuxuan’s most popular clip—the release of her English song She—has been viewed more than 14 million times and received over 1 million thumbs-up emoji on Bilibili.

“In the clip, I tried to let viewers know how the song was created,” says Yuxuan, who lives in Shenzhen.

The six-minute video tells how a melody coming to the schoolgirl’s mind is developed into a beautiful song in half an hour. She records playing the guitar on Apple’s music-making app Garage Band, and then mixes vocals and backing tracks.

Talking about her inspiration for She, Yuxuan says, “I really appreciate the heroine’s confidence and independence in a very famous movie. Women like that are so attractive.”

The song has amazed people. A Bilibili user says it is a song that you cannot stop playing time and time again. The video has forced many to reflet on their own productivity, as another user posts:“A student in junior middle school can create a song in half an hour, but I, a college student, can only finish my deal in half an hour.” On Yuxuan’s web page, she has over 120,000 subscribers. A subscriber named Carolyn Davidson comments: “I’m 71 years old and it definitely healed my heart.”

Just like Zhang Yuxuan, we all have dreams. Let’s hold on to them and try our best to achieve them.

23．What is the main idea of the passage?_______

A．Introducing a girl named Zhang Yuxuan.

B．Telling readers many young people like music.

C．Giving some information about the Bilibili platform.

D．Telling readers some things about the national headline.

24．Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence in the passage?_______

A．It tells readers about Yuxuan’s hobbies.

B．It gives the reason for creating the song.

C．It describes Yuxuan’s character in daily life.

D．It shows how the song was successfully created.

25．What can we learn from the girl’s story?_______

A．Internet can make people famous easily.

B．We all need to dream, even in the daytime.

C．Don’t give up until you realize your dream.

D．Songs from young people can attract people of all ages.

C

Have you always wanted to learn an instrument, or return to one you used to play? Would you like to introduce your friends to instrument lessons and help them start building a lifetime of music? In many cultures, music is an important part of people’s ways of life, as it plays a key role in social and cultural activities. People may make music as a hobby, like a teenager playing the violin in a youth orchestra（管弦乐队）, or work as a professional musician or singer.

But why is music so important? That may be because music can train children’s brains. Every time you listen to a piece of music, you’re actually giving yourself a deep and full-brain workout. If the brain is a muscle（肌肉）, then learning to play an instrument and read music is the basic exercise. Two new studies show that music training can change both the brain’s white matter, which carries signals through the brain, and grey matter, which covers most of the brain’s neurons（神经元）that are active in processing information. Another reason is that one can get the joy of learning to play an instrument later in life. People of any age can learn to play and get a level of satisfaction. More people in their 50s and 60s are finding that taking up a musical instrument or singing improves their lives in many ways.

Music education can provide more than just learning how to sing or play an instrument. It can also provide different skills that people may need for success in a job outside of music. So forget apps, learn a musical instrument to train your brain now!

26．To make music as a hobby, teenagers can _______.

A．get a new instrument from their friends B．play an instrument in a youth orchestra

C．help their friends build a lifetime of music D．play instruments which they used to play

27．Music can train children’s brains by _______.

A．helping to get more muscles 

B．changing the brain’s white matter only

C．giving them a deep and full-brain exercise 

D．sending signals through the brain’s grey matter

28．The underlined word “signals” in paragraph 2 means _______.

A．news B．stories C．notes D．messages

29．We can learn from the passage that _______.

A．people always want to learn an instrument

B．instruments play no role in social and cultural activities

C．people of any age can learn to play music and gain satisfaction

D．music education can only provide how to sing or play an instrument

30．This passage is mainly about _______.

A．the use of instruments B．the way of learning music

C．the introduction of instruments D．the importance of learning music

D

Scientists have long predicted that warmer temperatures caused by climate（气候）change will have the biggest influence on the world’s poorest people. New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.

A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output（经济产量）, compared to a world without global（全球的）warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting（获益） from higher temperatures.

“We’re not saying that global warming created inequality（不公平）,” says Noah S. Diffenbaugh, the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change. But “global warming has slowed down the improvement”. The poorest countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.

The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income（平均收入）） in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to a world without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN’s climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. “They will suffer the most, as they are already,” said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.

The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. “There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,” says Diffenbaugh What’s clear is that, for poor countries, the news is all bad.

31．According to the text, warmer temperatures _______.

A．are mainly caused by poor countries B．may bring advantages to rich countries

C．had no influence on the world before D．can improve the poorest people’s health

32．What does “suffer” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?_______

A．供应 B．犹豫 C．遭受 D．谋利

33．Which of the following will face great economic problems caused by climate change?_______

A．The UN. B．The USA． C．Ireland. D．Burkina Faso.

34．What is the main idea of the text?_______

A．Climate change will make poor countries poorer.

B．We must take action to deal with climate change.

C．Climate change can cause millions of early deaths. 

D．People make good predictions about climate change.

35．From which is the text most probably taken?_______

A．A geography textbook. 

B．A health magazine. 

C．A research paper. 

D．A storybook.

五、阅读回答问题

The actor Christopher Reeve is best known as the star of four Superman movies. However, something terrible happened to him on May 27, 1995. His head landed first and badly hurt when he was thrown from his horse in an accident.

Reeve’s life was saved by doctors, but the fighting against his hard life was just beginning, as the actor would never be able to feel anything below his neck, breathe without help from a machine or do any physical activity on his own again.

During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope. He wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life. It was only because of the support of his wife, family and friends that he found the hope and courage to live again.

Reeve put his heart into learning everything he could about his injuries. He took lots of exercises. Reeve never met his goal of getting back on his feet, but he made great progress. Shortly after, he managed to return to his film work by directing, producing and even starring in films. He also wrote a book about his experience and returned to his charity work. Reeve became an energetic supporter for people with back injuries and disabilities, raising millions of dollars in support of medical research. “What I do is based on powers we all have inside us and you don’t have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His attitude encouraged many people who were stuck in illness. “With the progress of new medical research, I’m confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see. I’m too busy with living to think of giving up!”

His ten-year-long fighting came to an end on October 10, 2004, at the age of 52. His active performance for the disabled proved more superhuman than anything that could be dreamed up for the big screen.
