21、Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children at his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortuna for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.______________________________________________________. The diving spots afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

【1】In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

A. His daughter had grown up.

B. He had become a famous diver.

C. His father would dive with him.

D. His daughter would dive with him.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph2?

A. Larry had some privileges.

B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.

D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

【3】Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

A. To protect himself from danger.

B. To dive into the deep water.

C. To admire the underwater view.

D. To take photo more conveniently.

【4】What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A. Larry didn’t wear a watch.

B. Larry was not good at math.

C. Larry had a poor memory.

D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.

22、George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, not an artist. Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure, Mr. Nakashima rejected the label of artist. For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets.

Nakashima had a clear goal. He intended to make each piece of furniture as perfect as possible. Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before. Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property. Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebrawood and Indian teak. He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was cut down. Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.

Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots (节疤) and cracks. These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a colourful life.

He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful. One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter, Mira, to use when she sat at the table for meals. The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions. Another famous piece, the conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet. Always, Nakashima’s designs were precise and graceful, marked by the simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.

As the years passed, Nakashima’s reputation grew and he received many awards. His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of craftspeople in their father’s studio. Nakashima’s dream of integrating work and family had come true.

【1】Which of the following best describes Nakashima?

A．Generous and outgoing.

B．Honest and simple.

C．Capable and friendly.

D．Creative and modest.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Nakashima?

A．He preferred perfect boards when making furniture.

B．He always used precious wood materials.

C．His chairs were beautifully designed but useless.

D．He devoted himself to shaping wood.

【3】What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs?

A．He loved his work and family.

B．He made chairs of the same style.

C．He sought for a simple life and art.

D．He was lost in researching the wood.

【4】What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin?

A．They had an art studio of their own.

B．They still lacked the ability to create artworks.

C．They had a common interest with their father.

D．They enjoyed the same reputation with their father.

23、   The following sad but true tale concerns my great-uncle, a wonderful, jolly, beloved man who was over six feet four and probably weighed close to three hundred pounds. He was also well-educated and in the early 1900s became a full-time Baptist minister. A kindly, gentle man despite his size, Uncle Alden Bentley’s only real fault seemed to be that he was terribly clumsy. As a young minister, he was paying a pastoral call one day on a woman in Dillon, South Carolina, when he accidentally sat on her Chihuahua, Twinkle, and killed it. As the lady searched for and called for her dog throughout the house, Uncle Alden felt underneath his hip and, realizing what he had done, panicked and slipped the dead dog into his coat pocket. Although he was devastated, he could not bring himself to tell the woman what had happened.

Five years later, he returned to the same home for an overnight visit and resolved to unburden himself by finally telling the woman exactly what had happened to Twinkie. She had just had the guest room prepared and had hung brand-new curtains. To make Uncle feel welcome, she had placed on the bedside table a large pitcher of ice water and a glass, as well as a pen and a bottle of ink, so he could work on his sermon before retiring.

Uncle liked to sleep with the window open and got up in the night to open it. As he did, he knocked over what he assumed to be a full glass of water. Then, groping along the walls in an unsuccessful search for the light switch, he retraced his steps several times before raising the window and settling back on the bed for the night. When he opened his eyes the next morning, he was horrified. The fresh wallpaper on two walls was covered with great black stains. The crisp white curtains were thoroughly spoiled with the prints of Uncle's huge paws. It had not been the water glass he'd overturned during the night-it had been the ink bottle.

In a shaken state of mind and knowing he must face the hostess, Uncle dressed hurriedly and started down the stairs outside the guest room. As he approached the landing, his foot slipped.

"Are you hurt?" His hostess cried as she rushed to Uncle's side.

"No," said Uncle as he rose to his feet, "but I have devastated your home." With that he quickly walked out the front door and, at the end of the walk, turned and said to his hostess with deep respect, "Twinkie had a Christian burial."

He then retired from the ministry and became a teacher of philosophy for many years at a private preparatory school in Massachusetts.

【1】What was the job of Uncle Alden when he was visiting the lady’s home?

A.A government official. B.A teacher.

C.A house agent. D.A churchman.

【2】What does the underlined word “retiring”mean in the second paragraph?

A.giving up work B.pulling back

C.going away D.going to bed

【3】Which of the following statements about Uncle Alden is TRUE?

A.He suffered from a guilty conscience after the first visit to the lady’s home.

B.His rudeness led to a mess of the guest room during the second visit to the lady’s home.

C.He kept the death of Twinkie as a secret from the hostess all through the two visits.

D.His visits to the lady’s home always ended with rage and fury.

【4】What kind of tone is adapted by the writer in this short story?

A.Sympathetic B.Critical

C.Humorous D.Indifferent

24、Ludwig van Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the great musician died while still working on his 10th Symphony. Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence(Al)to complete the artist's final master piece. Dr. Matthias Roder, the director of the Karajan Institute in Austria, who respects Beethoven very much, wanted to do something for the musician's 250th birthday in December 2020. He enlisted an international team of music experts to help him with the big task. They included music composer Walter Werzowa and Dr. Ahmed Elgammal, the creator of an AI technology for the art market.

Elgammal and his colleagues started the process by familiarizing the Al software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it to just Beethoven's works. Mean-while, Werzowa and his group tried to understand the rough sketches(草图)and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven's plans for the 10th Symphony.

The team then began the task of feeding the Al software musical notes from the unfinished composition. Elgammal says that since music is very structured and mathematical, AI can predict the next note reasonably and accurately. However, it starts to go off the central theme after a few notes. To stay true to Becthoven's original composition, Elgammal's team sent Werzowa hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Werzowa would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was closest to what the artist would have written. The Al team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony!

The composition appeared at the Telekom Forum in Beethoven's birthplace of Bonn, Germany, on October 9,2021. Not surprisingly, the AI-generated masterpiece is causing some argument. Critics believe technology should not be used to replace the human creative process. Elgammal and his team agree with their viewpoint and say their Al software is not out to replace humans-it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.

【1】Why does Matthias Roder start the project?

A．To explore AI in a new way.

B．To be in memory of Beethoven.

C．To start a new way of creating music.

D．To study the relationships between music and AI.

【2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A．The challenges the team face.

B．The way the team carry out the task.

C．The reason why they start the project.

D．The team's achievement in the project.

【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Not all the people are for the project.

B．AI provides great help in music creating.

C．AI will replace humans in music creative process.

D．The AI-generated masterpiece proves to be great successful.
