In the past, music recrding was primitive. A recrding engineer placed micrphnes in frnt f instruments. The prducer pressed recrd and
signaled the band t play. There was a human tuch t recrdings, and this way f recrding gave rck music its raw edge. But here we are tday.
Cmplex and advanced audi sftware sits in every recrding studi. The higher cst and greater practicality make creating digital music cmmn.
Hwever, the mdern recrdings aren’t beneficial t a rck recrd. Let’s nt frget, being in a band is labrius. Yu need like-minded musicians
t rehearse fr hurs n end. Nwadays, this isn’t a necessity.
Prgramming drums n a cmputer is as simple as filling cells n a spreadsheet, and there yu have it, a drumbeat. Only a few prfessinals are
aware that they aren’t listening t true live drums. Such tech is even accessible n yur smartphne. Whether n a train r in a bedrm, yu can
create a full band track withut a live band.
What happened t rck music? With pp and hip hp dminating the charts, it feels like the time fr bands is ver. Is rck music really dying ut? Is
it really n its last legs, r are we just nt trying hard enugh?
Artists, inspired by the great rck bands, seek t put their wn spin n this classic genre. The spirit f rck music still remains. One singer mixed sul
and rck while ne band cmbined indie rck with elements f techn, bth with underlying rck characteristics.
The truth is that fresh rck bands are ut there and yu just need t dig deeper. A search thrugh nline music blgs shws a grwing number f
new rck bands. While rck bands are nw nt as ppular as befre and nt receiving mainstream expsure, the flame still burns brightly.
【小题1】Which wrds can best describe the past music recrding?
A．Underdevelped and lw-cst.
B．Easy and time-saving.
D．Digital and creative.
C．Demanding and cmplex.
【小题2】What makes prgramming drums easy in mdern recrding prcess?
A．Lw demands fr music.
B．Advanced audi sftware.
C．Deep understanding f music.
D．Help frm prfessinal musicians.
【小题3】Why are ne singer and ne band mentined in paragraph 5?
A．T tell rck music has lst its riginal attractin.
B．T shw rck music may be presented in new styles.
C．T stress rck music is n lnger mainstream music.

D．T cmpare rck music with sme ther kinds f music.

Chinese material scientists have fund the sil n the mn may ptentially be able t generate xygen and fuel, a finding that means mre
pssibilities f humans t use lunar resurces t further explratin f the mn and beynd.
The researchers at Nanjing University shwed that the lunar sample brught back by China’s Chang’e-5 cntains active cmpunds (化合物) that
can change carbn dixide int xygen and fuel. Initially, they hped t design a system that tk advantage f lunar sil and slar radiatin, the tw
rich resurces n the mn, accrding t a study published n Thursday in the jurnal Jule.
After analyzing the Chang’e-5’s lunar sil, the team fund the sample cntained metal-rich substances, which culd wrk as a catalyst (催化剂) t
make xygen using sunlight and carbn dixide. The team prpsed a strategy using lunar sil t electrlyze water frm the mn and the astrnauts’
life supprt system int xygen and hydrgen. The prcess was pwered by sunlight. The carbn dixide breathed ut by mn inhabitants can be
cllected and cmbined with hydrgen t prduce the fuel, als catalyzed by the lunar sil, accrding t the study. The researchers said with this
methd, n external energy apart frm sunlight wuld be used t prduce xygen and fuel t supprt life n a mn base.

envirnment fr life ut f the Earth,” said the paper’s first authr Ya Yingfang frm Nanjing University, expressing his assumptin.
“The challenge lies in the fact that catalytic efficiency f lunar sil is lwer than catalysts n the Earth,” said the researchers. They are testing
different appraches in rder t imprve the design. The team is lking fr an pprtunity t test the system in space with China’s future manned
lunar missins.

C．The supprtive methd prducing metal-rich substances.
D．The sustainable living strategy emplying lunar resurces.
【小题3】What des the underlined wrd “scenari” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Prfessin.
B．Cntract.
C．Visin.
D．Spnsr.
【小题4】What is the text mainly abut?
A．The discvery f active cmpunds n the mn.
B．The testing appraches t imprving the lunar sil.
C．The research n the envirnmental system f the mn.
D．The study f using lunar sil fr xygen and fuel prductin.

nes as yu begin t change yur way f thinking.

When I first mved t the suth f America in the summer hliday befre middle schl, I realized that I was stepping int a cmpletely different
wrld. New Orleans, Luisiana, was unlike any place I had ever been t. In the French Quarter, turists walked arund all year with lng skinny cups in
their hands, and there was a ppular game ging n the streets which were crwded with cars but had few peple. What surprised me mre than
anything, thugh, was the cnstant friendliness and cmpassin f the peple f New Orleans.
“What can I get fr yu, sugar?” a waitress abut my age asked me n my first day in New Orleans.
I was taken aback. The waitress did nt even knw me, but she treated me like family. She smiled dwn at me as I pinted t an item n the menu.
“Is the pasta gd?” I asked her.
“It’s nt my favrite,” she admitted with a smile. “But I’m mre f a girl wh prefers rice!” She shrugged, letting ut a lud laughter.
I lked at her in shck. What was I suppsed t say t that? I culdn’t believe that the waitress had just prevented me frm rdering smething.
Actually, she had given me her hnest pinin, as if we were best friends. She even tld me her name—Mary. She even tld me that she just wrked as a
part-time waitress and that she wuld be a high schl student sn.
After a few days in New Orleans, I gt used t kind reminders and plite greetings. I als realized hw cmfrting it was t be treated like I belng
wherever I went.
As sn as I settled int my new high schl, I adapted myself t the schl life. I was drawn t the lively music scene that New Orleans was famus
fr. I was a trumpet (小号) player, and I wanted t jin the schl music club. Hwever, I was afraid that I was t pr in music t be qualified fr the
schl music club.

1．续写词数应为150个左右；
