A
Dance is one of the most wonderful forms of human communication. In many cultures, dance has both historic and cultural
significance, which is communicated through learned gestures and expressions. Here are a bit more details about three of the
world's most beautiful dances.
Kathakali
Kathakali is a storytelling dance, during which performers use a variety of gestures, and eyes and facial expressions to
communicate meanings. Costumes, hair styles, makeup and face paint, and jewelry also all hold specific meanings in the
performance of kathakali. There are nine facial expressions used to express emotions ranging from sadness and anger to
curiosity. Through their expressions, it should be completely clear to the viewer what the performer is intending to convey.
Tango
The dance has its roots in an African slave dance called candombe, which is also a type of music. One key factor of a
candombe performance is a partnered dance, which has over time developed into the modern tango. If you can keep your eyes
on one part of the tango, just focus on the dancers' legs and feet. The tango is typically performed low to the ground, with both
performers' step-work often taking place at the same time. It’s complex and communicative.
Flamenco
One of the most interesting facts about the flamenco is that it began as a song. Over time, flamenco developed to include
its now-famous passionate accompanying dance. One of the key factors of flamenco is palmas. It may look like simple,
rhythmic clapping, but palmas are performed at different speeds, and strengths, and it is essential that the flamenco dancer
understands how to make use of his or her hands as part of the performance.第 3 页 第 4 页 共 8 页

In Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖
琴). A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses, each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical
sound. Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear. They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for
donations. Jamey Turner is 78 years old. Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his
father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in
place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create
different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a
lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the
sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores. He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger
over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There
have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music
from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the
instrument on YouTube. He hopes the next generation will continue making its music.
24.What do visitors think of Jamey Turner's performance?
A.Boring. B.Attractive. C.Special. D.Common.
25.How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses?
26.What may be Jamey Turner's real worry about the glass harp?
A.Little music is written for the instrument.
B.People are trying to play the instrument online.
C.Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D.The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
27.What is the best title for this text?
A.bring about society changes B.contain the stories hidden behind
C.lead to a good judgment or an idea D.contain the scientific research
A.Presenting significant facts as it is. B.Attracting the public’s attention.
C.Influencing the readers' life. D.Choosing proper news to report.
A.Basing their reports unclearly. B.Convincing the public of the facts.
C.Reporting news on a particular side. D.Inviting readers to judge the facts.
C
Maybe you will say a journalist's duty is to report news with social significance. There is hardly any reason for journalists
to express their personal opinion on issues or facts. Forming a judgment or an opinion or idea based on a journalistic report is
the readers' privilege. Journalists also need to dig deep so as to look into the roots, inviting the readers to have a look at it. At
this time, a report will become meaningful.
Journalists must not give much importance to news that doesn't have much significance in the lives of the readers and the
audience. This sort of practice primarily comes from the desire to attract attention of the latter, which overshadows the primary
responsibility of presenting important facts that concern the readers and the audience in one way or the other.
It's only the readers and the viewers who are the judges; journalists should let them pass their judgment on various issues.
Sometimes journalists try hard to influence public opinion in favor of a particular side of an issue; this is a wrong practice,
especially if the side the media takes is the wrong one, and the public opinion will be in favor of that particular side in
consequence of such role on the part of the media.
A proper understanding of which type of news is more important and the ability for grading news are the main character of
true journalism. The social significance of a news item that does not profit us in the least (although, it might make us amused or
sad in an indifferent way) is far less than that of a news item that makes us feel worried about our personal safety.
Most of us are afraid of the truth, because we consider it as too terrifying to know—something that is better hidden than
revealed. However, the fundamental responsibility of a journalist is to reveal the facts in all their aspects exposing the "hard
and harsh" reality.
28.We can learn from the first paragraph that a meaningful report should ________.
29.What is the primary responsibility of a journalist?
30.Which of the following is an incorrect practice for journalists?
31.What does the underlined phrase "hard and harsh" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Fanciful. B.Serious. C.Fantastic. D.Objective.

It has been four years since the Flashfood App was set to hit Canadian grocery stores and make it easier for shoppers to
buy soon-to-expiry (保质期) food at a discount. Much to my delight, I heard it advertised recently on a radio station and figured
it’s time for an update, especially since people became more aware of food waste's role in the climate crisis.
The first thing I did was download the App. I hadn't done it before because it was limited to a few locations, but now it’s
all over Canada. I could see immediately that many brands of yogurt are all marked down 50 percent. Users pay for the food
using the App, and then pick it up at a marked location in the store. There is no need for you to worry about them actually being
bad.
It makes sense for retailers to get behind this App because it offers a win-win situation for everyone involved. Flashfood
sells 75% of the products made available through its App while saving consumers an average of 50% on those grocery items,
and it has 300 000 active users right now. That number is expected to grow naturally as Flashfood partners with more grocers.第 5 页 共 8 页

A.It’s delivered directly to the customers. B.Much of it is charged at half the price.
C.Users can pay for it in the marked store. D.It’ll be a month away before it goes bad.
A.By listing some examples. B.By making a comparison.
C.By explaining the cause. D.By introducing the result.
"As a food retailer, we are in the business of providing food, not wasting it. The Flashfood program allows us to provide
our customers with a convenient and environmentally sustainable (可持续的) way to purchase food. Loblaw sells 77% of the
items it puts on Flashfood, moving an average of 800 to 1 000 worth of goods weekly at each of its largest stores," said
Gord Chem, senior VP with Loblaw's Real Canadian Superstores.
I love looking for discount deals at the grocery store and always keep an eye out for the hot pink clearance stickers. But it's
always random, and I never know what I'm going to get from week to week. The appeal of Flashfood is that I can see what's
available, pre-purchase it, and leave it off my shopping list.
32.What can we know about the food on the Flashfood?
33.According to Gord Chem, the Flashfood is ________.
A.beneficial B.popular C.creative D.reliable
34.How is the advantage of Flashfood introduced in the last paragraph?
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Customers can buy much cheaper food on a recent app.
B.A win-win situation has been set for Canadians involved.
C.Canadians have a smart approach to reducing food waste.
D.Canadians adopt a new way of protecting the environment.

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。
Do you always concern yourself with your kid’s play dates? Do you send them upstairs to get changed? 36 Put that
red pen back in your purse, because micromanaging your kids is likely to do more harm than good.
Micromanaging or over-parenting comes in many forms. However it presents itself, it can give children the impression that
parents don’t have confidence in them, and this can lead to problems. Kids who are micromanaged could also grow used to an
unearned level of success, which may do harm to their attitude towards work and life. Parents who micromanage their kids
sometimes struggle with a sense of control. 37
So what should parents do? For modern parents, it can be a balance between healthy involvement in your kid's life and
micromanaging. It can be especially difficult to know where the line is when it comes to the internet. We live in a digital age.
38 To help you walk that fine line, parents should be frank about it. If they're hiding their phone or acting secretively, a
slightly different conversation about the health of their online activity might be needed.
Breaking a micromanaging habit isn't easy. 39 You could relax your grip in fairly inconsequential areas, like letting
your child decide what clothes to wear. The plus side is that if you back off about little things, your words might carry more
weight when it comes to the big things. 40 Therefore, you can let your children succeed, fail, and figure out life on their
own.
A.But like any bad habit, start small.
$ $
B.Do you like talking with your kids?
C.Micromanaging can be a sign of anxiety in them.
D.Do you stay with them while they're doing homework?
E.You can also form a healthier relationship with your kids.
F.Keep your eyes open for the changes in your kids' behavior.
G.It's important for parents to care about their kids' activity online.

I stared back, not understanding the question. Lori turned and left the room. Caught off-guard by the question, I looked at
Marilyn. "Are there more pictures of Lisa than of Lori?" Marilyn shrugged and raised her eyebrows in a motion of puzzlement.
"Are you aware that there are more pictures of Lisa than Lori?" I added.
Marilyn said, "I’ve never counted them. I don't know."
Marilyn's answer was the same as my thoughts, "I hadn't realized that there was any significant difference. Now why
would Lori ask such a question?" I asked.
Marilyn just shook her head and stared back at me. After a few minutes of thought she said, "When Lisa was born, you
were taking photographs. You hardly went anywhere without a camera. When Lori was born, you were involved in colored
slides(幻灯片). There must be hundreds of slides of Lori somewhere in the house that Lori has never seen or doesn’t
remember."
After digesting Marilyn’s remarks, I agreed. "After Lori leaves, we'll look for those slides. Who knows, we may find more
slides of Lori than pictures of Lisa," I joked.
Later that afternoon, when we were alone, we went into the basement where we had stored the boxes that we had brought
from our previous home. It wasn't long before we discovered the trays of slides, and for the rest of the afternoon we looked at
each tray, pointing out those slides that highlighted Lori.
"What are you going to do?" Marilyn asked.
"It’s her birthday in a few weeks," I said, "We'll select about one hundred slides with Lori and convert them into pictures,
put them into an album and give to her as a gift. I don't know if the album will answer her question, but at least she'll know that
we care enough to find her an answer."

Paragraph 1:
Over the next few days, we secretly went through all of our slides.

The Hezhen is one of the smallest minorities in China. Early Hezhen people developed methods 56 producing clothes,

It was a lazy Sunday morning, the type of day that getting out of bed requires an effort. When Marilyn and I entered the
kitchen, Lori was already at the table doing her homework. Seeing us coming, she, suddenly, stood and faced me, "Why are
there more pictures of Lisa than there are of me?" she asked. Lisa is our older daughter.
I stared back, not understanding the question. Lori turned and left the room. Caught off-guard by the question, I looked at
Marilyn. "Are there more pictures of Lisa than of Lori?" Marilyn shrugged and raised her eyebrows in a motion of puzzlement.
"Are you aware that there are more pictures of Lisa than Lori?" I added.
