Eliana Yi dreamed f pursuing pian perfrmance in cllege, never mind that her fingers culd barely reach the length f an ctave (八度音阶). Unable t fully play many wrks by Rmantic-era cmpsers, including Beethven and Brahms, she tried anyway—and in her determinatin t spend hurs practicing ne f Chpin’s cmpsitins which is knwn fr being “stretchy”, wund up injuring herself.
“I wuld just g t pieces,” the Suthern Methdist University junir recalled. “There were just t many ctaves. I wndered whether I was just ging t play Bach and Mzart fr the rest f my life.”
The effrts f SMU keybard studies chair Carl Lene are changing all that. Twenty years ag, the schl became the first majr university in the U.S. t incrprate smaller keybards int its music prgram, leveling the playing field fr Yi and ther pian majrs.
Yi reflected n the first time she tried ne f the smaller keybards: “I remember being really excited because my hands culd actually reach and play all the right ntes,” she said. Ever since, “I haven’t had a single injury, and I can practice as lng as I want.”
Fr decades, few questined the size f the cnventinal pian. If smene’s hand span was less than 8.5 inches—the distance cnsidered ideal t cmfrtably play an ctave—well, that’s just hw it was.
Thse wh attempt “stretchy” passages either get used t mitting ntes r risk tendn (腱) injury with repeated play. Lene is familiar with such challenges. Brn int a family f jazz musicians, she instead favred classical music and pursued pian despite her small hand span and earned a dctrate in musical arts.
A few years after jining SMU’s music faculty in 1996, the decrated pianist read an article in Pian and Keybard magazine abut the smaller keybards. As Lene wuld later write, the discvery wuld cmpletely renew her life and career.
In 2000, she received a grant t retrfit a department Steinway t accmmdate a smaller keybard, and the benefits were immediate. In additin t relieving injury caused by verextended fingers, she said, it gave thse with smaller spans the ability t play classic cmpsitins taken fr granted by larger-handed cunterparts.
Smaller keybards instill many with new cnfidence. It’s nt their wn limitatins that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitatins f the instruments themselves. Fr thse devted t a life f making music, it’s as if a clud has suddenly lifted.
24、What is the similarity between Eliana Yi and Carl Lene?
A. Their interest in jazz extended t classical music.
B. Shrt hand span used t restrict their music career.
C. They bth jined SMU’s music faculty years ag.
D. Rmantic-era cmpsers’ music was easy fr them.
25、Why did SMU initiate an effrt t scale dwn the pian?
A. T reduce the number f ctaves.
B. T incrprate Bach int its music prgram.
C. T prvide fair pprtunities fr pian majrs.
D. T encurage pianists t spend mre hurs practicing.
26、Hw did Yi prbably feel when she played the retrfitted pian?
A. Cnfident.B. Frustrated.C. Challenging.D. Determined.
27、Which f the fllwing is the best title f the passage?
A. Wh Qualifies as an Ideal Pianist?
B. Traditinal r Innvative Pian?
C. Hard-wrking Pianists Pays ff
D. The Stry behind Retrfitted Pians
Businesses are nw in cst-cutting mde. Title inflatin(头衔通胀) has crept int the wrkplace. Layffs, hiring freezes and cncerns abut a recessin(经济衰退) are plaguing emplyers.
T balance this unique ecnmic envirnment, emplyers have figured ut a way t cmfrt emplyees and jb applicants withut spending mre mney. They are ffering lfty-sunding (听起来高大上的): titles t sften the blw f nt prviding a raise t internal emplyees r big cmpensatin t jb candidates.
An emplyee's title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the ffice and makes them feel mre pwerful.9In this sense, the plicy is a sensible way t help retain staff and attract tp candidates.
But if yu dn't really deserve the new title, it culd cme back and haunt yu. Recruiters (招聘人员) will be pleased t find a candidate wh is a perfect ft fr a significant, well-paying psitin in terms f skills, backgrund, and previus experience. Hwever, a stumbling blck arises when they ntice the candidate has a higher title than the client ffers. Since a recruiter wants t make a placement and earn a fee, they wn't waste time and will seek ut ther candidates wh are a better fit.
Even if the recruiters decide t cntact the candidate, there's a gd chance the candidate wn't accept. Because mst peple aren't aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward fr their utstanding perfrmance. Understandably, they wuld be ffended if they received a lwer-level pst. Nw that yu are at a certain level, yu dn't want t g backward.
What's mre, if yur current title is t high, it raises red flags. Fr example, when searching fr a new jb, if yur title is “directr," but the new rle is under that level, the interviewer will. curiusly inquire, “why d yu want t g dwn in tilt?" There will be a presumptin frm the, hiring manager that smething isn't right. They may feel that the jb seeker is leaving befre being fired and willing t dwngrade. Rather than trying t figure ut the mtivatins f the, candidate, they'll mve n t thers wh have a cleaner stry withut any baggage.
28、What des the underlined wrd "plaguing" in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A.ShckingB.Embarrassing.C.TrublingD.Cnfusing.
29、What can we learn abut emplyees with lfty-sunding titles?
A. Their salaries dn't match their titles.
B.They tend t lk dwn upn thers.
C. Their fear f being fired will disappear.
D.They get a gd platfrm fr develpment.
30、What will a recruiter prbably d if a candidate's title is higher than the client ffers?
A. He will have a discussin with the client.
B. He will cntact the jb applicant immediately.
C.He will nt take the candidate int cnsideratin.
D. He will spare n effrt t knw mre abut the jb applicant.
31、What is hiring managers' attitude twards thse wh chse t dwngrade?
A.Enthusiastic.B.Annyed.C.Appreciative.D.Dubtful.
With the WHO n lnger cnsidering COVID-19 a glbal health emergency, it seems that the virus and its large number f deaths will sn fade frm memry, alng with N95 masks and PCR tests.
Our ability t frget a pandemic is partly a cping mechanism，reflecting the emtinal immune system that enables us t mve n with ur daily lives. Every day，we receive massive infrmatin that ur brains struggle t keep. Mrever，the prcess by which ur brains assess risk is deeply persnal and influenced by ur wn needs.
We are reminded why s many peple were eager t frget the 1918 influenza pandemic and embrace the jys f the Raring Twenties.But cllective frgetting threatens t leave us unprepared fr future airbrne disease utbreaks, frcing us t re-learn fundamental lessns abut the imprtance f masking and shifting activities utdrs t prevent transmissin.
Peple ften have a mre psitive view f the future than the past as a way f building psychlgical resilience（韧性）.This is because，unlike the unchangeable past，the future ffers endless pssibilities. But ur tendency t lk frward als arrests prgress n issues like pandemic preparedness，as it leads us t believe we are better equipped than we are.
Tday, there’s still n cmprehensive effrt t carry ut the detailed recmmendatins n hw t imprve pandemic preparedness. Tday, we still lack clear explanatins fr why ur public-health agencies are understaffed and underfunded，why supply chains failed, why COVID-19 misinfrmatin was allwed t verflw n media platfrms，and why ur public-health respnses remain passive.
It has taken Ireland mre than 150 years t build memrials and museums marking the impact f the disaster—the Great Famine f the 1840s.We cannt affrd t let the same happen with COVID-19.Our ability t remember the past culd affect billins f lives in the future.
32、What is paragraph 2 mainly abut？
A.The pandemic cping system.
B.The struggle f data memry.
C.The reasns fr frgetting a pandemic.
D.The persnal pandemic assessment.
33、Why are the 1918 influenza pandemic and the Raring Twenties mentined in paragraph 3？
A.T utline the astnishing parallel fund in histry.
B.T reveal the harmful effect f cllective frgetting.
C.T uncver peple’s cllective lss f memry.
D.T reflect peple’s interest in future pssibilities.
34、It can be inferred that during the pst-pandemic time ______.
A.gd preparatins fr the next pandemic have been made
B.peple’s ability t cpe with a pandemic is underestimated
C.the suggestins n pandemic preventin are well adpted
D.a list f questins cncerning the pandemic remain t be answered
35、What des the authr intend peple t d in the passage？

D.Build memrials t the pandemic.
三、七选五
36、What makes a wrk f architecture great? Mst peple wuld argue that aesthetics (美感) are the mst imprtant. ①_______ Hwever, Rman architect Marcus Vitruvius Plli believed that we shuld als cnsider durability and functin when assessing a structure. The Rstnville Library in my city is a great example f Vitruvius’s principles.

Finally, the library is beautiful, with aesthetically pleasing details bth inside and ut. The large windws are cpper-framed (铜框的). The cpper clr prvides an interesting cntrast against the clr f the granite structure and it will remain as the cpper ages. Grwth frm the rftp garden, which reaches dwn the sides f the building, adds t the aesthetics f the building. ④_______

54、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。
During my high schl years，my math teacher，Mrs. Zhang，nticed a spark in me whenever I tackled cmplex mathematical prblems. She had been bserving my prgress thrughut the year and was particularly impressed with my talent in abstract reasning. One day, after class, she apprached me with an intriguing prpsal: t represent the schl in a reginal mathematics cmpetitin. Instantly, I hesitated and my mind raced back t a traumatic event frm my primary schl years - a quiz bee where I had frzen n stage，frgetting everything I had prepared. The memry had stayed with me and left me with a fear f cmpetitive scenaris. Mrs. Zhang seemed t sense my reservatins and said, “Life is abut facing ur fears. Every challenge yu encunter is an pprtunity t grw. I truly believe yu have what it takes t shine.” With her wrds eching in my ears and her unwavering belief as a driving frce, I decided t face my past demns and take n the cmpetitin.
The theme fr this year was gemetry, a branch f mathematics that explres the dimensins f shapes and their features .My chsen tpic was a cmplex therem, knwn fr its cmplicated patterns and strng lgic.
Althugh a challenging task, the therem resnated with me deeply. I saw it as a metaphr fr life - seemingly cmplex situatins that, with the right perspective, culd be simplified and understd. The fllwing weeks were a blur f numbers， shapes, and frmulas. I immersed myself in libraries,wrte ntes everywhere, and had endless discussins with Mrs.Zhang. My first draft, when presented t her, was met with cnstructive feedback.” “This is a recmmendable effrt,” she said, “but I believe yu can d better. Refine it.” And s, again and again, my presentatin evlved. Thrugh this rigrus prcess, my nce paralyzing fear f cmpetitin slwly transfrmed int a burning passin fr understanding and explratin.
