21、The Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be performing works by Georges Bizet Friday morning. You might enjoy classical music and like to attend the performance, but live far away from America’s Motor City.

On Saturday. the GoGo group Curtis Johnson is performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington. D. C. If you live overseas. going to that show is probably out of the question.

But there is a solution! These and other concerts are available “live” on the Internet. You can hear them in real time with an electronic device.

Both performances will be available on the World Wide Web. They are part of a growing number of concerts broadcast on computers, tablets and smart phones. These digital concerts are known as live-streaming.

Technology expert Michael Antonoff says better and less costly equipment is making it easier for performers and theaters to offer music “live”online. The quality of the sound and video pictures are improving all the time, he says. Those online concerts now have as many as 40, 000 viewers per show. People in 100 nations are watching. It is a huge part of our increasing global reach.

For international performers, Kennedy Center officials see a jump in online viewership from the home countries of the performer. There is hometown pride when an artist is performing in one of America’s best-known concerts, says the Kennedy Center’s Garth Ross. At a recent Kennedy Center concert, a performer said he was so happy that his disabled mother back in California could watch his performance.

It is not just music being streamed on the web. On December 10, the producer of musical “ Daddy Long legs” put the show on the web free of charge. It was the first live webcast of a New York musical. Over 150, 000 people

from 135 nations watched, producer Ken Davenport said. In other words, it would take his musical 2.7 years of sold-out performances to draw that many people.

22、   Even if you’ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place: It’s hot. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile trek (跋涉) to the top of the city’s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is “extremely difficult”. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you keep climbing, another sign farther up declares; “If you’re halfway through your water turn around!”

Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to the warnings. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old man hikes up and down Camelback a couple of times a day giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. I’d like a more manly name, but, you know, he told azfamily, com.

Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by Arizona’s unforgiving version of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble,” he told the Arizona Republic. If a hiker has a red face and is not sweating anymore, Cullymore reaches into his insulated (隔热的) backpack, pulls out a frosty bottle, and hands it to the person. “It’s misleading that we’re in the middle of the city. You can die up here, and no one would know.”

One hiker who received Cullymore’s water agrees. “You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket,” he said, pointing to Cullymore, “but we are lucky, we run into this good man here.” And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.

【1】What is the purpose of the signs along the hike way?

A.To show the trek is difficult. B.To warn hikers to take enough water.

C.To frighten people to give up. D.To avoid hikers getting lost.

【2】What does Scott Cullymone think of his nickname?

A.It’s womanish. B.It’s manly.

C.It’s ironic, D.It’s appropriate.

【3】Who will Scott offer his help to?

A.Anybody he meets. B.Those in the middle of the trek.

C.Anyone in need of water. D.Those who sweat a lot.

【4】What can be the best title of this text?

A.A Desert-Like Mountain B.Fighting against Heat

C.Necessities for Hiking D.Water Angel

23、Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?

Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life---the arts are a perfect cross over between culture and commerce.

Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.

The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.

Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.

Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.

【1】Art products differ from most other commercial products because_____ .

A．most people purchase them for collection

B．they are more expensive and less accessible

C．they have both commercial and cultural values

D．their prices may climb up as time passes

【2】What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?

A．They enjoy better living conditions.

B．They like to compare themselves with others.

C．They are particularly good at both music and art.

D．They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.

【3】How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?

A．It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.

B．It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.

C．It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.

D．It helps to make responsible people out of them.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．How Art Cures Our Hearts

B．Art: A Blessing to Humankind

C．How Art Benefits Communities

D．Art: A Bridge Between Cultures

24、The arrival of autumn has left me charmed once again by its generous harvest of pomegranates. While pomegranate juice had always been a favorite of mine, for a long time, I couldn’t say the same for the actual fruit. 【1】 How could anyone possibly take pleasure in eating that? But by chance, I changed my mind.

A handful of small pomegranate trees grow just outside the gate of my husband’s family home in rural Zhejiang. 【2】 So one autumn, my mother-in-law gave me and my husband a bag filled with pomegranates she had picked herself.

At first, I rejected the seemingly burdensome pile of fruit on our dinner table. 【3】 He continued to bite on pomegranate and offer me a taste of the seeds, and eventually curiosity won. I popped a handful in my mouth, and found myself knocked in the best possible way.

The seeds were filled with that familiar rich and sweet flavor. 【4】 Moreover, it was superior to anything I had encountered in liquid form. Later, I’m always fascinated to discover the many locales in China also touched by the sweet pleasures of the pomegranate.

【5】 At that time in my life, moving around left me too much stress, which usually left me with the discomfort of a nervous stomach. But among the many health benefits of pomegranate is that it can naturally improve digestion. Regular consumption of the fruit had comforted my gut (肠道) so much. If you've yet to be addicted to the delights of the pomegranate, it’s not too late to try.

A．One taste turned me into a lifelong fan just like that.

B．I had thought it’s a bunch of soft and juicy little seeds.

C．The branches were overhanging with the fruit every fall.

D．My husband still attempted to persuade me to take a bite.

E．It’s the season’s finest freshly squeezed juice from the fruit.

F．The healing properties of the fruit I experienced added to its charm.

G．That was the same taste I had come to treasure about pomegranate juice.
