Steven Brwn was 85 years ld. He became well-knwn last September after his sn Edward had recrded his tw-minute piece frm fur ntes — F natural, A, D, and B natural — and psted it n Twitter.
Edward psted the piece nline t shw hw musical ability can survive memry lss and Steven wn the hearts f the British natin when he played the pian frm his hme in Sussex live n the televisin.
T mark a year since he played his cmpsitin, Steven was invited t cnduct the BBC Philharmnic rchestra (管弦乐队) playing tw f his cmpsitins at the studi in Salfrd. He spent an emtinal afternn with the rchestra, during which he cnducted bth Fur Ntes, while his sn Edward played the pian, and an lder cmpsitin f his called Where’s the Sunshine.
Steven, a frmer music teacher and classical pianist, said, “It was magical, and it was very, very special t wrk with such wnderful musicians. It made me feel alive. I culdn’t believe that an rchestra was playing my music and I was standing in frnt f it cnducting them.”
Five years ag, Steven mved int sheltered accmmdatin as part f his dementia (痴呆症) care.
Edward jined Steven n the trip rganized by Music Fr Dementia and had seen his dad “cme alive again” since the vide f him playing pian went nline.
Edward said, “His shrt-term memry is generally sht t pieces but when big events like this happen it’s like a branding irn n his brain. Frm my experience with dad, the right piece f music at the right time can be abslutely incredible. Fr the first time in years he has gt active again. It really brught him back t life again.”
Campaign Directr at Music fr Dementia, Grace Meadws said, “Seeing Steven perfrming beynd his dementia and having the cntact with the musicians was a wnderful thing. It was very emtinal.”

Clwn fish live their adult lives in the prtective arms f sea anemnes, the small brightly clred sea animals attached nt rcks t huse clwn fish. Between birth and adulthd, hwever, the fish have t cmplete a treacherus jurney. After hatching, they swim ut t the pen sea t finish develping. After maturing, the yung fish swim back, during which they have t avid a “wall f muths” by sensing the unfriendly smells. With cean acidificatin, a trend that is ccurring wrldwide, scientists began t wnder what might happen t fish’s sense f smell.
My team put 300 recently hatched clwn fish in ur lab. When we intrduced a friendly fish dr (气味), they did nt react. But when we intrduced an enemy dr, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings frm the same parents in the mre acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends cntinue. When we intrduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable t make up their minds, spending equal time swimming tward ne smell and the ther. They culd sense chemical signals but culdn’t recgnize the meaning f them.
It is always tricky t say that behavirs seen in a lab wuld als be seen in the wild. S we went t a sandy lake near ne f the Great Barrier Reef’s nrthern islands t test hw wild-caught damselfish wuld react t enemy smells after expsing them t acidic water. In a tank abut half f them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted t the unfriendly dr and half were nt, yet nt ne held in water anticipated by 2100 avided being attracted t the enemy dr. We then let the marked damselfish lse in the lake. The fish nce held in the mst acidic water swam farther away frm their prtective hme. Can fish adapt? Mst studies have habituated fish t lifted acidic cnditins ver a few days r mnths-an extremely shrt length f time. The animals are nt given a realistic pprtunity t adapt. Yet sme scientists thught that fish might escape the anger f cean acidificatin, in part because early research dne in the 1980s shwed that certain animals had an astnishing ability t regulate their internal chemistry t survive acidified water. But maintaining nrmal functins such as aviding danger is a different challenge.
At a minimum, cnfusin culd place yet anther stressr n fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, verfishing, etc. Further, if many cean creatures start t behave strangely, entire fd webs and ecsystems culd cme crashing dwn. Althugh the science is still new, the results appear t be lining up: cean acidificatin is messing with fish’s minds.
27. What des the underlined wrd “treacherus” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Risky.B. Hurried.
C. Mysterius.D. Helpless.
28. What can we learn abut the fish in the acidic water?
A. They lst their senses t chemical signals.
B. They were less likely t respnd t threats.
C. Their behavir in the lab disappeared in the wild.
D. They tended t seek the prtectin frm their hme.
29. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The authr’s study cnfirms previus findings.
B. Fish’s adaptatin t acidic water is a matter f time.
C. Different fishes behave differently t acidity change.
D. The chances f restring fish’s minds are yet t be seen.
30. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. What D Different Stressrs D t Ocean Creatures?
B. What Des Ocean Acidity Mean t Ocean Creatures?
C. Hw Des Ocean Acidificatin Destry the Ecsystem?
D. Hw D Ocean Creatures Adapt t Ocean Acidificatin?
D
A snake-rbt designer, a technlgist, an extra dimensinal physicist and a jurnalist walk int a rm. The jurnalist turns t the crwd and asks: Shuld we build huses n the cean? Like a think-tank panel, members f the team dream up far-ut answers t the crucial prblem, such as self-driving husing units that culd park n tp f ne anther in the castal city center.
The setting is X, the enterprise which cnsiders mre than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging frm clean energy t artificial intelligence. Althugh nly a tiny percentage becme “prjects” with far-reaching creativity, these prjects exist, ultimately, t change the wrld, like Waym, the biggest self-driving-car cmpany.
In the past 60 years, smething strange has happened. As the academic study f creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innvatin may have cvered every tiny change f a sda can r a tthpaste flavr, but the rate f prductivity grwth has been mstly declining since the 1970s. Jhn Fernald, an ecnmist, pints ut that the ntable exceptin t the pst-1970 decline in prductivity ccurred when businesses thrughut the ecnmy finally figured ut the breakthrugh technlgy — infrmatin technlgy. Jhn Fernald says, “It’s pssible that prductivity tk ff, because we picked all the lw-hanging fruit frm the IT wave.” Actually, the wrld ecnmy cntinues t harvest the benefits f IT. But where will the next technlgy shck cme frm?
Breakthrugh technlgy results frm tw distinct activities-inventin and innvatin. Inventin is typically the wrk f scientists and researchers in labs, while innvatin is an inventin put t cmmercial use. Seldm d the tw activities ccur successfully under the same rf. They tend t thrive in ppsite cnditins; while cmpetitin and cnsumer chice encurage innvatin, inventin has histrically prgressed in labs that are prtected frm the pressure t generate prfit.
Allwing well-funded and diverse teams t try t slve big prblems is what gave us the cmputer and the Internet. Tday, we fail t give attentin t planting the seeds f this kind f ambitius research, while cmplaining abut the harvest. “Cmpanies are really gd at cmbining existing breakthrughs in ways that cnsumers like. But the breakthrughs cme frm patient and curius scientists, nt the rush t market,” says Jn Gertner, the authr f The Idea Factry.
“Technlgy is a tall tree,” Jhn Fernald said. “But planting the seeds f inventin and harvesting the fruit f innvatin are entirely distinct skills, ften mastered by different rganizatins and separated by many years” As fr me, bth f them are essential fr technlgy, althugh they are relatively independent. I dn’t think X is a planter r a harvester, actually. It is like building taller ladders. Nbdy knws fr sure what, if anything, the emplyees at such enterprises are ging t find up n thse ladders. But they’re reaching. At least smene is.
31. What is the main purpse f the first tw paragraphs?
A. T present the prcess f grup discussin.
B. T illustrate X’s wrry abut big prblems.
C. T reveal the imprtance f the crazy ideas.
D. T stress the varied backgrunds f the team.
32. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Breakthrughs must stand the test f the market.
B. Innvatin n necessities can prmte prductivity.
C. Inventin develps slwly under the pressure f prfit.
D. The harvest f innvatin lies in sme ambitius research.
33. Regarding Jhn Fernald’s view n technlgy, the authr is ________ .
A. supprtiveB. cautiusC. uncertainD. critical
34. What can be inferred abut X frm the passage?
A. It will fcus n innvatin.
B. It will have its utcme sn.
C. It may give in t its fruitless reality.
D. It may bring an encuraging utlk.

Pets are like ur family members and their gd health is smething that is very imprtant t all pet wners. Just as the pllutants, such as carbn mnxide (一氧化物) and carbn dixide in the air, affect ur health, these same envirnmental nasties can affect ur pets t.
______35______57% f dgs expsed t higher pllutin levels develped brain diseases and shwed signs f neur prblems. In a mre recent study frm the jurnal f Veterinary Internal Medicine, researchers fund that cats with breathing prblems were mre likely t live in husehlds with higher indr air pllutin.
Air purifiers have been brught int use in recent years. They wrk t remve harmful chemicals knwn as vlatile rganic cmpunds (VOCs) and ther envirnmental pllutants frm the air._____36_____But are they safe fr pets? Hw can we ensure that they aren’t harming ur furry friends?
_____37_____The physical safety f using a mechanical device arund pets is what we have t pay attentin t. Air purifiers cme in varius shapes and sizes, frm small desk-tp units t large, free-standing mdels. In terms f physical harm, there is an existing risk f ur pet becming trapped in the electrical wire f ur air purifier. Air purifiers are designed t be used in the hme arund children and their internal mechanisms shuld als be safe frm small tails f ur pets and ther parts f their bdies. ______38______
Whether the air purifier imprves r damages the health f ur animals is als smething we have t cnsider. The air purifiers are safe fr pets, but nly if they d nt prduce any zne (臭氧) byprduct.____39____We shuld always stay away frm the nes that prduce even minimal quantities. We are always n the safe side by picking a standard air purifier with the classic 3-stage filtratin (过滤) system f a pre-filter, HEPA filter and carbn activated filter.
Picking the wrng air purifier type can quickly make things wrse fr ur pets. On the ther hand, picking the crrect air purifier can lead t a big increase in the quality f life fr them.
A. At present many hmes are equipped with these useful devices.
B. Befre buying an air purifier, we shuld keep tw aspects in mind.
C. Pet wners always pay clse attentin t the physical health f their pets.
D. Even the smallest pets shuldn’t be able t access the insides f air purifiers.
E. This greatly depends n the type f air purifier and air cleaning technlgy used.
F. S always check the prduct specificatins and try t find a mdel that des nt prduce any carbn mnxide.
G. A 2008 study published in Brain and Cgnitin shwed that dgs’ brains were negatively affected by the heavy pllutin levels.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Over the years I have been fascinated t read abut studies int the pwer f tuch.
One famus study examined vides f hw peple respnded t thse near them wh had been the victim f a bad frtune. Researchers lked at their interactin with the victim, and cmpared this with behaviur in nn-human primates (灵长类动物). It fund that humans and primates cmfrt ne anther and demnstrate care in a similar way. It makes sense fr me that ffering hugs t calm victims may be an instinct that we gt frm primate ancestrs.
Anther study fund that when the husband r wife f a patient in srrw r discmfrt reaches ut and hlds their hand and, as if by magic, they becme settled and less srrwful. Perhaps we shuldn’t be surprised, as we have knwn fr many years abut the imprtance f tuch. It symblizes safety and lve, and this is actually ne f the mst imprtant aspects fr develpment as a child. Is it any wnder that, when we are upset and distressed as adults, we seek ut the same things? Whether yung r ld, humans are wired t be tuched.
Nevertheless, many peple tday suffer frm “tuch hunger”, which typically ccurs when a persn experiences little tuch r cntact fr a lng time. It serves as a warning that the sense f security and care that cmes with the cntact f tuch is missing. Thus, their well-being can suffer. It is assciated with greater stress, anxiety and lneliness, and lwer-quality sleep.
Actually, even the briefest tuch frm us can bring strng emtinal experiences t the receivers wh suffer frm “tuch hunger”. A warm handshake, a gentle pat n the shulder, r a high-five is ften enugh t cnvey lve and care.
Be a giver!
40 What did the first study find abut tuch?
____________________________________________________________
41 Why is tuch imprtant?
____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Tuch has the great pwer t give peple wh suffer frm “tuch hunger“ strng emtinal experiences, but a brief tuch like a handshake is t light t cnvey lve and care.
____________________________________________________________
43. Apart frm tuch, what ther way(s) d yu ften use t express yur lve and care in yur life?(In abut 40 wrds)
