(2022·江苏盐城模拟)Yo­Yo Ma is an American cellist (大提琴家) born in Paris to Chinese parents. His musical career is a testament to his belief in culture's power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing works, engaging unexpected musical forms, or working with communities and institutions to explore culture's role in society, he works to create a better world that begins with culture.

Expanding upon this belief, in 1998 he established Silkroad, a collective of artists worldwide creating music that engages many traditions. In addition to presenting performances, Silkroad cooperates with museums and universities to develop training programmes for teachers, musicians, and learners of all ages. Through his work with Silkroad, he frequently performs lesser­known music.

Besides, he partners with communities and institutions to develop programmes that champion culture's power to transform lives and create a more connected world. Among his many roles, he is artistic director of the annual Youth Music Culture Guangdong festival, a UN Messenger of Peace, and the first artist ever appointed to the World Economic Forum's board of trustees.

When the pandemic began, Yo­Yo began an online series titled “Songs of Comfort” to ease anxieties. His short, self­shot videos soon reached over 18 million people. On March 13, 2021, after receiving the 2nd COVID­19 shot, he transformed a clinic into a temporary concert hall, in a moment that residents called a symbolic representation of “the light at the end of the tunnel”．

Yo­Yo Ma once said every generation has a chance to do better, to create a world that works for all. To him, doing better begins with culture — the point at which the arts, sciences, and society cross.

Ⅳ. 读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Devin was 16­year­old, who was a most hard­working boy. He took things seriously and always went all out for what he was doing. Recently, he had led his soccer team to the big game — Championship game, which was scheduled on Thursday afternoon.

For Devin, Thursday would be huge — the big soccer game in the afternoon, and the school's autumn concert in the evening. Ms Poltis had chosen him to sing a brief solo. Devin couldn't wait till Thursday.

As the team gathered after daily training on Tuesday afternoon, Coach said, “Be here by 6：30 on Thursday to warm up.” “Six thirty？” Devin asked. That didn't sound right. Coach explained that it would be a night game and that they would play under the lights.

Devin's heart sank. The concert was at 7：00, which was almost the same time as the game. He couldn't possibly do both. He sat on the bench, pulling off his cleats (球鞋). His teammates were super excited. They were on the edge of a champion, and Devin was a big reason why. He led the league in scoring, and his soccer knowledge made him like a coach on the field. He couldn't let his team down by skipping the game.

Devin frowned (皱眉). He would tell Ms Poltis in the morning. There were other kids who could sing the solo. He wasn't the best singer anyway, and he knew it.

That night, Devin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. “No matter how hard the struggle, I will never let you down ...” The lyrics of the solo flew into his mind. The solo was only four lines in the middle of a song that the entire choir would sing, but every time he sang the song, he would be full of strength to carry on. His team was counting on him. The soccer game was a perfect excuse. But so was Ms Poltis. It was a long time before he fell asleep.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

In the morning, hardly eating any breakfast, Devin went to school and straight to the music room.

The big day came and so many people came to watch tonight.                                                                        

【参考范文】

In the morning, hardly eating any breakfast, Devin went to school and straight to the music room. Noticing Devin looked worried, Ms Poltis let him sit down and asked if he was nervous for the concert. Devin looked up at her, eyes filled with tears. Ms Poltis smiled warmly and told him it was no secret that several other choir members had better singing voices than he did, but she chose him because he worked hard, like the person in the song. “Don't be nervous. Be proud，” Ms Poltis cheered him up.

The big day came and so many people came to watch tonight. Devin had made a difficult choice. He liked the song and he appreciated how kind Ms Poltis always was. There would be other Championship games. He told Coach he had to miss the game and gave advice to his teammates on how to work together. The bright lights came on. Devin stayed calm, singing with confidence. “No matter how hard the struggle ...” Devin finished the solo and smiled at Ms Poltis. He was proud of the choice he made.
