Let's Face the Music

when she won a string of prizes. She has taken part in Barcelona's WOMAD festivals and in the Gipsy

King's celebrated festival Mustique Gitano at Nimes. She will be accompanied by her regular solo

guitarist，two dancers and a “clapper”.

Even though some people believe that money makes the world go around，many people would choose

health over wealth. For someone like violinist Robert Gupta，who was on his way to becoming a physician

before joining the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 19，music，health，and wealth are all part of the same

package.

In addition to music，Gupta is deeply interested in neurobiology（神经生物学）. Because of his

interests，he has had the chance to work with Nathaniel Anthony Ayers，a talented musician whose career

was cut short by schizophrenia（精神分裂症）. Although Ayers studied music at the Juilliard School，his

mental illness got in the way of professional success.

After dropping out of Juilliard and having unsuccessful medical treatment for his schizophrenia，Ayers

moved to Los Angeles where he ended up homeless. In 2005，a journalist for the Los Angeles Times named

Steve Lopez heard Ayers playing music in the streets. Lopez wrote a book about Ayers and became his

friend. Their friendship became the subject of a movie，and because of the book and the movie，Ayers has

had a chance to perform his music in some of the most famous concert halls in the world.

It seemed like Ayers had found his happy ending. However，he refuses to take medication to treat his

schizophrenia. He says it keeps him from “hearing the music”. Because of this，Ayers is still subject to

schizophrenia and sometimes leaves his home to go back to the streets.

Gupta was introduced to Ayers after Lopez took his friend to a performance of Beethoven's First and

Fourth symphonies，and Ayers asked Gupta for a violin lesson. When they first met，Ayers was on edge.

Gupta was afraid that if he taught the lesson in his usual way，Ayers would react violently. Finally，he just

began playing. A change came over Ayers. Gupta said，“And like a miracle，he lifted his own violin and he

started playing.” The two musicians played many violin pieces together that day. A bond was formed.

Music，Gupta realized，is a way to deal with our emotions，even our most unpleasant ones. “This was

the very reason why we made music through our creativity. We're able to shape those emotions into

reality，” he says.

Now，Gupta says，“I will always make music with Nathaniel，whether we're at Walt Disney Concert

Hall or on skid row（贫民区），because he reminds me why I became a musician.”

24．From the first two paragraphs，we can learn that Robert Gupta .

A．became a physician at the age of 19

B．was interested in the treatment of schizophrenia

C．was lucky to be wealthy，healthy and talented in music

D．had long dreamed to join the Los Angeles Philharmonic

A．Steve Lopez's book and a movie about their friendship

B．his great efforts to fight against his mental illness

C．Robert Gupta's original way of teaching music

D．his talent for composing and playing music

26．By “on edge” (in paragraph 5)，the author means that Ayers was .

A．excited but uncertain B．eager for a violin lesson

C．nervous and bad-tempered D．anxious about his own career

27．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．A Great Musician B．Teaching Music

C．Why Study Music D．Music Is Medicine

Doing your laundry with cold water can help save the planet，and maybe save you some money along

the way. That's the message from Tide in a newly launched campaign to decarbonize（脱碳）laundry. The

goal is for consumers in North America to do three out of every four loads of laundry with cold water

instead of hot by 2030，up from about half today. That would eliminate the power consumption required to

heat cold water.

If this goal is met，it will have the same impact on greenhouse gas emissions as removing about a

million cars from the road for a year. “There is no tradeoff. You will save $150 a year in energy costs，and

your garments（服装）will last longer. And by the way，you're helping to save the planet，” Shailesh

Jejurikar，CEO of Procter ＆ Gamble's fabric and home care division，said in an interview. “It's a beautiful

win-win-win if we get this right.”

“This is going to be the defining decade for where we end up on climate change.” Jejurikar said. “If

we don't get this situation under control in the coming years，we are going to pay the price. There is a need

to act now.” Beyond its focus on cold-water washing，Tide set a new goal of cutting greenhouse gas

emissions at its factories in half by 2030. That's in addition to the progress it already has made in cutting

emissions by three-quarters over the past decade as the brand adopted 100% renewable energy at its

manufacturing plants. Tide also plans to reduce its carbon footprint by using 100% recyclable packaging

for all products by 2030 and by teaming up with Silicon Valley startup Opus12 to capture carbon from its

factories.

Jejurikar said P & G does want to get to zero emissions in its factories，but added that how people use

Tide products has 10 times more impact than what happens in its plants. “We are trying to give them

chance to take their ordinary daily actions，and make them have an extraordinary impact，” Jejurikar said.

28．What can we learn from the passage?

A．We need to heat cold water before laundry.

B．Tide will remove a million cars from the road.

C．Hot water laundry could save energy and protect the planet.

D．Cold water laundry might increase by a quarter in North America.

29．What does the underlined word “tradeoff” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Advantage. B．Need. C．Hesitation. D．Emission.

30．Which measure has been taken by Tide to cut greenhouse gas emissions so far?

A．Advertising its new products.

B．Using 100% recyclable packaging for all products.

C．Adopting completely renewable energy in its factories.

D．Cooperating with a new high-tech company to recycle carbon.

31．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Cold Water Laundry—An Eco-friendly Campaign

B．Advanced Technology Being Applied to Cars

C．The Vital Decades for Climate Change

D．Cutting Emissions to Protect Our Planet

If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands，you might have a

hard time believing the news：e-mail is on the decline.

At first thought，that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation，after all，doesn't do e-mail.

4

Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine：as a means to

communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of websites.

They rarely check it，though.

Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and online messages—are more direct，more

concentrated，and more efficient. They go without the salutation（称呼语）and the signoff（签收）；we

already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that

reason：more signal，less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems

such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up

later，I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.

The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring

great convenience to people. They can deal with them at about any time：before a movie， in a taxi，waiting

for lunch. And because these messages are very brief，they're suitable for smart phone typing.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history？Not necessarily. E-mail still has

certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them，and then they're

gone，into an endless string. E-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file，search and

return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal

communications：agreements，important news，and longer explanations.

So，e-mail won't go away completely. Remember，we've been through a transition (过渡) like this not

so long ago：when e-mail was on the rise，people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works.

Postal mail found its smaller market，and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old ones

completely；it just adds new alternatives.

32．What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?

A．Check bank accounts.

C．Fill in some forms.

B．Send short messages.

D．Communicate with their colleagues.

33．Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4?

A．The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.

B．The likes and dislikes of the young generation.

C．The rapid development of e-communication channels.

D．Evidence of the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.

34．What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Automatically-sending.

C．Hardly-recognized.

B．Randomly-written.

D．Short-lived.

35．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true?

A．It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail.

B．E-mail has reasons to exist with its own advantages.

C．E-mail，just like postal mail，has come to its end.

D．We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

My husband and I made an agreement to help each other stay off social media platforms as much as

possible. We left our accounts up instead of deleting them，but consciously stopped using them. 36

Now，I'm glad to report that they have worked.

5

Tired of being the last to hear of things，we downloaded a few news-specific apps that provide timely

information. 37 Instead of relying on articles shared by my friends，I now have access to a steady

stream of headlines that span far broader than my pre-specified interests.

Staying updated on our social circle has also been a more conscious effort. Previously I was kept

up-to-the-minute on engagements，weddings，new jobs and babies through updates and pictures. Without

social media，I now learn of these important events only when actually meeting the people involved.

38 The effort taken to sit down and write is far challenging，but when I do take the time to

journal，my reflections go far deeper.

I still log in occasionally. 39 Based on the screen time tracked by my phone，I used to spend an

average of over 24 hours a week on various social media platforms. That is down to just 20 minutes every

month now，freeing up a large amount of time for sleep，hobbies and offline interactions.

40 I might know less about my acquaintances（熟人）now，but have more time to keep directly

in touch with my closest friends. Walking home last week，I was greeted by a dramatic purple-pink sunset. I

would have immediately reached for my phone a year ago. Now，it was enough to simply watch it darken

into the night.

A．Overall，I'm glad to have made the change.

B．I bought myself a diary again after many years.

C．We have made a few adjustments in our daily life.

D．This has also widened the range of news I keep up with.

E．I do miss the convenience of using social media to record and reflect.

F．However，social media now play a much less important role in my life.

G．I didn't realize how programmed I had become to constantly use the app.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Everything about moving day was a puzzle. I didn't know anything about our new building on a new

street. Our old life was broken into pieces and packed up in piled boxes. I wondered if it would ever fit

back together again.

Mom introduced me to our new neighbours，the Chens. Mrs Chen worked with Mom at the job she'd

just started. Mr Chen was a famous craftsman（匠人）from China.

Mom said it was a fresh start，but it felt broken to me. I just wanted things to go back to how they had

been before.

After the first day at my new school，I walked home alone. Mom had told me she had to work. I was

still hoping she'd meet me after the bell. I had to open the door myself with the new key. I felt a bit hungry

and went straight into the kitchen，ripping（撕裂）tape from the packed boxes while I searched for a clean

plate. My fingers slipped，and something went crashing to the ground.

“Benjamin!” cried Mom from the doorway. I didn't hear her come in. “What just broke?” she asked，

kneeling to pick up the pieces. In her hands，I recognized the broken pieces. It was Grandma's bowl. “I can't

believe you broke this,” she said.

“Well，I can't believe we have to live here now! I can't believe I have to switch schools，and I can't

believe you didn't even meet me after my first day.” I ran into my room，shutting the door behind me.

The broom swept across the kitchen floor. Then Mom's bedroom door closed behind her with a click. I

slipped out into the kitchen and found the fragments in the dustbin. There were so many pieces in here，but

maybe I could put them back together. Turning the pieces，I tried to match them，but this bowl would never

look the same again.

“I'm sorry I yelled,” said Mom，as she opened her door. “Please just throw out the pieces. We can't

make a fresh start with broken things.”

As I wandered down the hall，Mr Chen was emptying his garbage.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Are you sure you want to throw that out?” he asked.

I brought the repaired bowl into her room.
