Guy Noble, one of Australia’s most famous conductors, who conducted the touring concert “East Meets
West”, said he’d like to learn more about Chinese music. “I’m impressed by the history and the beauty
Chinese music has,” he’s said in an interview recently.
“East Meets West” concert tour in Australia was resumed this year after being postponed twice due to
the pandemic. It was hosted in Canberra last Saturday, bringing audiences some well-known Chinese and
Western pieces such as Jasmine Flower, Carmen, Romeo and Juliet, and The Yellow River.
While it was called “East Meets West”, music from China and the West with the same themes was
brought together. Chinese singer Ya Fen and Australian singer Victoria Lambourn performed a duet (二重
唱) Hope Betrayed, which was inspired by the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions. Noble said
he loved the duet as it showed completely different singing styles: traditional Chinese opera style and
Western opera style. “They’re not exactly the same, but they came together,” he said.
Having been a professional conductor for more than 20 years, Noble called music an international
language. He noted that most music at the concert was about love, which was also an international language.
He also spoke highly of some Chinese musicians, such as pianist Lang Lang who he thought has inspired
many kids in China to learn music.
Noble admitted his knowledge of Chinese culture was limited. He said that conducting the Canberra
concert was “an experience that I’ve enjoyed”, which made him more interested in discovering the
background and history of the music, as well as the stories behind it. Noble is ready to create more things
that can involve dance or calligraphy or some of the other aspects of Chinese culture, and put them together
with music.
24．What does the underlined word “resumed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Restarted. B．Expanded.
C．Paused. D．Concluded.
25．Why did Noble enjoy Hope Betrayed?A．Because it impressed him with its history.
B．Because it was inspired by a classic novel.
C．Because it showed two performing styles.
D．Because it was performed by an Australian.
26．What can we learn about Noble from the text?
A．He is an amateur conductor.
B．He speaks highly of all Chinese musicians.
C．He has a wide knowledge of Chinese culture.
D．He intends to integrate more Chinese elements into music.
27．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Guy Noble: A Famous Australian Conductor
B．An Australian’s Passion for Chinese Culture
C．Music: A Bridge to Understanding Each Other
D．The Cooperation Between Foreign Musicians

We have long been attracted by quick solutions that could increase our intelligence. Today, people’s
hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in smarter minds”. But is this quick solutions
all that it is said to be?
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental
exercises like simple arithmetic, memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games.
The more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get — or so some apps tell us. It is really a big
promise.
Many of the apps say they are backed by “science”, a claim I found surprising as a former
neuroscientist. The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games
every day goes against what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying a diverse spread of thousands of users across wide variety of apps, researchers at
Western University in Canada discovered that “brain training has no appreciable effect on cognitive
functioning in the ‘real world’, even after extensive training periods”. The positive effects that have been
found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to
memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write novel or construct a complex spreadsheet, I
am afraid you will want to look elsewhere.Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Returno the Obra Dinn” see players apply their skill at
logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
28．What does the author say about brain training apps?
A．They have scientific support. B．They work in the form of games.
C．They require problem-solving skills. D．They are based on complex arithmetic.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Supporting evidence for some brain training apps.
B．A detailed description of some brain training apps.
C．A further explanation of the use of some brain training apps.
D．Questioning the exaggerated effects of some brain training apps.
30．Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory?
A．Limited. B．Tremendous. C．Damaging. D．Far-reaching.
31．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A storybook. B．A diary. C．A magazine. D．A biography.
D
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live
in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it
weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy
village buried in the country. But how realistic (现实的) is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in huge tower blocks, noisy, dirty
and unfriendly. The sense of belonging to a group tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up.
Strangely enough, nowadays people on the same floor don’t even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs in that a sense of group generally unites the people of small
villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they
need help. But it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in
cities. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on a
trip to the nearest large town. The city people are often worried by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the
disadvantage of being cut off. The city raises a feeling of loneliness, and constant noise beats the senses. But
you are at the centre of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people
have found or rather bought a solution between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet
life” by leaving the cities and moving to villages within commuting (通勤) distance of large cities.What then of my dream? I’m eager for the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby. I’m not at all sure that
he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all
those energetic males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric fire any evening.
32．Which of the following makes city people unhappy?
A．Colorful life. B．A sense of group. C．Close neighborhood.D．A feeling of loneliness.
33．What is difficult to buy in the country?
A．Designer clothes. B．Farming tools. C．Daily supplies. D．Fresh
vegetables.
34．We can infer from the passage the author ________.
A．enjoys living in huge tower blocks B．is in two minds
C．will continue his life in the city D．will move to the country

Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.
35 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept ifs imperfections. So, what can you do to
develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do
well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may
be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports
skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing musical instrument, writing or acting. 36
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体
型) don’t just happen. 37 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
38 Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin;
wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.
Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are. 39 So try not to let small
imperfections take over.
A．Respect your body.
B．Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.
C．Your talent for comedy, a quick wit, and all the other things make you unique.
D．They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.E．Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
F．Just explore talents that you feel good about.
G．The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

Electric scooter safety
If you look around the streets of London, you’ll see the many methods people use to move around.
Whether it’s on a commute to work, a trip to the shops, or a sightseeing excursion, there are people on buses,
the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The roads are already congested (jammed); and
now there’s a new addition: electric, or “e-scooters”.
This traditional children’s vehicle has become more sophisticated over the years. And now, with the
addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport. Scooting around town
can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in
cities around the world. But following what’s believed to be the first fatal accident involving an electric
scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.
Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements; others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding
to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding one on the public highway
or pavement is forbidden. Riders currently face a £300 fixed-penalty notice and six points on their driving
licence for doing so. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be
seen everywhere. And now users are calling on regulations to be changed.
The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is ‘reviewing’ the law.
But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that: “Micromobility products are appearing in
countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is demand. However,
safety must always be our top priority when considering their use on public highways in this country.”
There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that some of them
can exceed 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. They also become unstable if therider hits a pothole, and however confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make them
vulnerable (easy to be hurt). So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe and legal
space to travel in.
40．What is it that makes an e-scooter easy to ride?
41．Why are motorists annoyed by those e-scooter riders?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement. Then underline it and explain why.
To answer the call of e-scooter users, the UK government is preparing to change the law about where
e-scooters can be used.
43．Do you think e-scooters should be allowed on public roads? Why? (In about 40 words)
