21、   To deal with the lack of light so far beneath the surface of the ocean, many deep-sea creatures employ a form of bioluminescence, a chemical reaction in their bodies that produces light but not heat. Biologists believe bioluminescence serves several functions. First, for some fish, it acts like a flashlight by enabling them to see as they swim while in others, it helps them attract mates. And some creatures use their light to draw in other sea life, which is then attacked and consumed. However, bioluminescence is a poor substitute for sunlight, so many deep-sea creatures have developed extra sensors to assist them. For example, some have evolved stronger senses of smell to detect the chemical scents sent out by members of the same species, which enable them to find mates.

While going down deeper, the water places intense pressures on everything. To avoid being crushed, many creatures have evolved by becoming smaller as opposed to the more inflexible body structures of animals living near the surface. And some creatures have specialized molecular structures that help them better withstand the pressure. The molecules they are made up of, are common in all fish and are responsible for the distinct smell most fish have, but fish living at great depths have more of them and therefore have an even more intense smell.

The temperature of the water here stays between -1℃ and 4℃, which is cold enough to freeze most life. Some animals move at slow speeds to conserve energy. Some spots on the ocean floor release energy from the Earth’s interior. Around these hot spots, many life forms reside, and they have established their own unique ecosystems.

Another problem is food. There is a distinct lack of sea life for predators to catch so that many others depend on marine snow, the remains of dead fish falling from levels above the deepest parts of the ocean. Deep-sea creatures frequently have slower metabolisms that enable them to survive for long periods of time on small amounts of food. Since many creatures living deep in the ocean have multiple adaptations, they not only survive but also thrive.

【1】What is bioluminescence used for?

A．Producing heat.

B．Searching for food.

C．Attacking predators.

D．Detecting special smells.

【2】How do deep-sea creatures differ from those living near the surface of the ocean?

A．They are much bigger

B．They have a stronger smell.

C．They can move more swiftly.

D．They are made up of fewer molecules.

【3】Why does the author mention the Earth’s interior in paragraph 3?

A．To describe freezing temperatures

B．To explore the use of heat energy.

C．To stress intense water pressures.

D．To explain the special ecosystems.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．How marine snow is created.

B．How deep-sea creatures survive.

C．What most sea life looks like.

D．Why some fish have slower metabolisms

23、   I still remember I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退). She said a polite “no”.

That didn’t stop me. I Googled the measurements for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one - keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.

I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.

One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.

My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions involved an estimation (评价) of the composer or when it was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement I was offered a place.

At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.

When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.

The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano: what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped spark my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces.

【1】Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last?

A.She suddenly made a fortune. B.She had no doubt of his talent for piano.

C.She realized he meant what he said. D.She was shocked by his first performance.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A.honest and practical. B.determined and hardworking.

C.humorous and reliable. D.rebellious and pessimistic.

【3】The word “irony” in the last paragraph shows that the author was _______.

A.surprised B.absurd

C.satisfied D.curious

【4】What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article?

A.To introduce the method of mental practice.

B.To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano.

C.To encourage people to stick to their dreams.

D.To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.

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。

It was raining pretty hard on Halloween, but that wasn't going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating. We decided to start at Miss Parson's house. Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived near by because she often shared her self-made cookies with us. We usually finished them in a second, especially when we were hungry after class. Sometimes, when we visited her or did something for her, she always gave us Surprise.

Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she'd offer. As we walked down the street, I held an umbrella, a bag for Candy, and my sister's hand. Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street. Spider webs hung in all the windows. Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways. After we had walked a few blocks, we were wet from head to toes, and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.

There was a light on at Miss Parson's house, but there were no ghosts, goblins(小妖精), or Jack-o-Lanterns. We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window. She was drinking a cup of hot tea.

“Maybe she doesn't celebrate Halloween,” Kate said with a sigh, disappointedly.

“Well, even if she doesn't, she usually likes it when we visit her," I said and knocked on the door.

Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing. "Is today Halloween?" she asked.”I completely forgot. I am so sorry!”
