21、Several studies have shown that listening to music can be highly beneficial. One study revealed that music could improve blood flow in ways that decrease levels of stress-related hormones and ease pain. But even without the knowledge of these research outcomes, we all know that music holds great power over our lives. How many times has music cheered us up when we were feeling down?

The Croatian architect Nikola Basic understood the importance of music in people’s lives. So, he came up with an unusual collaboration between an object and the ocean. In 2005, he designed a 230-foot morse orgulje, also known as the sea organ (风琴). The musical instrument is made up of a system of pipes and whistles that plays actual music as the waves of the Adriatic Sea push air through it.

At first glance, this invention might appear like an ordinary set of white stone steps, but its bottom stairs are covered in various holes. Water and wind enter through these openings, leading to chambers (室) within the giant instrument that connects to 35 organ pipes. As the waves flow, the air pushes through the inner channels, while the holes in the above steps sound out calming tunes.

This sea organ’s home is in Zadar, Croatia, which faced complete destruction during the Second World War. The city was eventually rebuilt, but it was filled with dull concrete structures that robbed the place of its natural charm. Seeking to restore it back to its former glory, local authorities brought in award-winning architect Nikola Basic, who, inspired by the hydraulis, an instrument built by the ancient Greeks that used water to push air through tuned pipes, designed and overlooked the construction of the sea organ.

Thanks to Basic’s artistic creation, life and joy have been brought back to the 3,000-year-old city. Now, it is a popular lunch place for tourists who want to feel the refreshing wind of the sea and hear the beautiful sounds coming from the sea organ.

【1】What attitude does the author show in the first paragraph?

A．He is quite sure of the importance of music.

B．He is against the conclusion of the studies.

C．He is in some doubt about the impact of music.

D．He is unconcerned about the results of the studies.

【2】What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?

A．The value of the invention.

B．The structure of the instrument.

C．The principle of the invention.

D．The appearance of the instrument.

【3】What makes the sea organ unique and attractive?

A．It was created by a famous architect.

B．It’s the combination of art and nature.

C．It’s located in a city with long history.

D．It was introduced from ancient Greek.

【4】What can we infer about the city Zadar?

A．It’s no longer popular after the destruction.

B．It has lost its natural resources after the war.

C．It is under constant construction at present.

D．It has come to life and become an attraction.

22、Some people make art with paint, and others use pencil or clay. However, Jean Shin makes sculptures that change everyday objects into thoughtful and beautiful works of art. Shin makes art from broken umbrellas, old clothing or computer parts. Her show “Common Threads” is currently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

One of the first works in the “Common Threads” exhibit looks like glowing orange cave formations coming out of the floor and ceiling. If you move closer to the sculptures, you realize they are made up of thousands of carefully stacked small plastic bottles for storing medicines.

Jean Shin made this work, Chemical Balance, by gathering the bottles from friends, family and retirement communities. Like much of Shin’s art, this work is both about individuals and large groups of people. Each personal object once belonged to an individual. But it takes a large community of such individuals to make Shin’s art possible.

Chance City is made up of more than thirty-two thousand dollars worth of old lottery tickets. People buy tickets in hopes of winning large amounts of money. Shin collected the tickets in New York City and Washington, D.C. over a period of three years. The small pieces of paper are carefully stacked to create buildings. The sculptures were made using no supports, so they could fall over at any time. The work makes a statement about the unsure nature of money and chance.

Jean Shin was born in 1971 in the Republic of Korea. Her parents moved to the United States when she was six years old. Shin studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She has chosen to make art that takes a long time to create. She says this is because her parents taught her about the value of hard work.

Other works in “Common Threads” include TEXTile. It is a piece of flowing fabric covered with thousands of old computer keys. Visitors can add to the work by typing their own message.

Shin’s latest work is called Everyday Monuments. It is made of almost 2,000 sports awards called trophies(奖品). The trophies showed people doing sports like baseball, tennis or bowling. Shin changed the human forms on every trophy so that each is doing an everyday act like cleaning, driving or carrying shopping bags. The sculpture was influenced by many large monuments in Washington which honor important heroes. Jean Shin’s smaller monument celebrates the heroism of people in their everyday actions.

【1】How many works made by Jean Shin are mentioned in the text?

【4】Which of the following could be the best title of the text?

23、It was National Adoption Day. The pet store was working with the Lexington Humane Society to find good homes for abandoned dogs and cats. After endless pleas (恳求) from my sons, Mark and Luke, I decided to stop in. I didn’t know it at the time but adopting a homeless dog would really make me feel better. I was struggling with depression. We’d moved from Ohio to Kentucky. Ohio had been my home for forty years, and I missed my parents, friends and the familiarity of home.

Inside the pet store, there were rows of cages filled with furry animals. I spotted ours immediately: a two-year-old female Jack Russell named Princess. I looked into her cage. She pushed her nose toward the cage, sniffed and then lowered her head. Trembling in her cage, she seemed unsure of her surroundings. I wondered if Princess felt that way when she’d been brought here, surrounded by people she didn’t know. Is that why she was shaking so hard? It made me want her.

“Let’s adopt her,” I said. My sons couldn’t contain their excitement, “We want her!” My husband also agreed. After I filled out the paperwork, we took Princess home. She barely ate and didn’t bark the first few days, but gradually she relaxed.

One afternoon, I was about to doze off (打盹) when I felt Princess jump on the bed. She was like a friend next to me. Actually, after adopting Princess, I felt better. While I still missed my parents and friends, I started making friends and visiting places in Kentucky.

When my son Luke turned seven, we had a birthday party. While I was making the cupcakes, Princess settled on the floor next to me. She was taking in everything: the sounds of children laughing, the smell of food and two of my new friends sitting at the kitchen table. She looked around and then up at me and wagged her tail. I thought it was her way of saying, “I’m finally home” And you know what? She was right. We were both home.

【2】What made the author decide to adopt Princess?

C．Its seemingly emotional suffering.

D．Its obviously favorable personality.

【3】How did the arrival of Princess impact the author’s life?

A．It changed her routine.

B．It changed her lifestyle.

C．It improved her social life.

D．It improved her family life.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Setting in

B．Holding on

C．Changing for good

D．Caring for animals

24、   Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（传记） about herself and begin to note on it. “I never did that” or “simply not true” she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even “bloggers” had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit. Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors. Lately, however, she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness. Did it matter anymore if things were not right?

She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset, should they ever catch her out. After all she was the decisive one, always on top of her game. A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table. full day of openings and presentations, of smiling and nodding and flowers.

Shaking herself out of her gray mood, she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read, she simply went to visit Mr. Google and began her search for train timetable.

A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream, served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache. So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls. Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother, who was a stickler for good manners. It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days, what with all the concern about childhood fatness, but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey. As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her, she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.

【1】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.

B．The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.

C．The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.

D．The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.

【2】Why does the main character recall the time she ate jeilies and ice cream?

A．She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.

B．Today's children aren't allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.

C．She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.

D．She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.

【3】A “Spartan menu”（paragraph 4） would most likely ________.

A．include a range of sweets, but no jelly

B．be suitable for a romantic dinner

C．have mainly low fat, healthy foods

D．include foods which are easy to transport

【4】What is most likely to happen next in this passage?

A．Randolph will send some emails to the main character.

B．The main character will update her blog on the Internet.

C．The main character will decide to take a rail journey.

D．The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.

Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.

It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.

Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.

We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”
