I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic decline. 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. But I had to pass a
difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece 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 arouse my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces.
24.Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last?
A. She was shocked by his first performance.
B. She had no doubt of his talent for piano.
C. She realized he meant what he said.
D. She suddenly made a fortune.25.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Honest. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Optimistic.
26.The underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph shows that the author felt .
A. surprised B. proud C. satisfied D. disappointed
27.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 describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.
D. To encourage people to stick to their dreams.

It’s funny how readily we “take the advice of complete strangers” when shopping online. More than 80 percent
of Americans say they read online reviews at least some of the time. But on sites such as Amazon and Yelp,
businesses have learnt to “making the most of the rating system to the seller’s or the platform’s advantage”,
eventually “making the star-rating scale useless”. Even in the case of confirmed reviews, it can be hard to know
what the stars mean.
Amazon has stepped up the effort to provide transparency said Louise Matsakis in Wired.com. Its “Vine voices”
program sends free products for testing to an invite-only community of “trusted reviewers”. Amazon has also started
ranking its Top 10,000 Contributors on a daily leaderboard not “just by the number of reviews a person has but also
by how many customers found their feedback to be helpful”. The current No.1 reviewer, a 45-year-old from North
Dakota who has posted nearly 2,500 comments since 2002, has owned a bakery in Oregon, worked for a small
newspaper, and had a 10-year stretch in the Navy as a nuclear welding inspector. Now he spends his time testing
everything from fryers to popcorn makers, though he exceeded its weight limit by 70 pounds.
But sellers are still finding ways to deceive prospective buyers, said a reviewer. He said, “I identified more
than 150 private Facebook groups where sellers openly exchange free products for five-star reviews. I joined four
of them and was annoyed with a flurry of private messages from sellers. One offered to pay me $10 for a splendid
review of what was already ‘one of the highest-ranked iPhone chargers’, with 3,971 five-star reviews and a trusted
‘Amazon choice’ label. When it arrived, the charger broke within minutes. I reached out to Amazon and those
thousands of five-star reviews for the charger disappeared.”
The product now has 11 reviews and holds a rating of 2.5 stars. But before all those five-star reviews
disappeared, how many shoppers spotted this $ 13.99 charger pack on Amazon’s first-page results and fell for the
trick?
28. What action has Amazon taken to make the star-rating scale useful?
A. Provide effectively checked comments for consumers.
B. Give priority to the advantage of customers.
C. Decide on contributors’ rank by the quantity of reviews.
D. Get reliable reviewers to test products before their release.
29. What does the underlined word “deceive” in the third paragraph most probably mean?
A. Persuade. B. Instruct. C. Interest. D. Cheat.
30. What do we know about the charger seller in the last two paragraphs?
A. He convinced buyers to obtain free products.
B. He attempted to obtain excellent reviews by purchase.
C. He was in hot water and deleted all untrusted reviews.
D. He tricked buyers and disappeared from Amazon.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Efforts of Amazon
B. The Application of Rating SystemC. Not Every Star Shines So Bright
D. Don’t Fall For the Trick of Sellers
D
In the 19th century, an Arab physician known as Zuhr Ibn conducted some animal research to assess the surgical
procedures that could be applicable in humans. Since then, animal testing has been considered to be the most
efficient way to develop new drugs. New medical treatments and drugs are tested in animals first to determine their
effectiveness or safety levels before they are finally tested on humans. However, it remains controversial whether it
is morally right or wrong to use animals for medical or commercial experiments.
Use of animals for medical purposes is seen to be necessary by many scientists. Researchers usually begin their
trials using rats. If the tests are successful, further tests are done on monkeys before using human beings. For testing,
such tiered(分层的) rounds are important because it reduces the level of error and any negative side effects. Some
argue that animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments and there is no adequate
alternative to testing on a living, whole-body system. Moreover, there are regulations for animal testing that limit
the misuse of animals during research, which serves as evidence that animals are well taken care of and treated well
instead of being intentionally harmed.
However, some other experts and animal welfare groups have opposed such practice, terming it as inhumane(不
人道的) and claiming it should be banned. According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments
are commonly subjected to force feeding, radiation exposure, operations to deliberately cause damage and
frightening situations to create depression and anxiety. They also hold the view that animals are very different from
human beings and therefore make poor test subjects. Drugs that pass animal tests are not necessarily safe. Animal
tests on the arthritis(关节炎) drug Vioxx showed that it would have a protective effect on the hearts of mice, yet the
drug went on to cause more than 27,000 heart attacks before being pulled from the market.
It’s safe to say that using animals for tests will continue to be debated in many years to come. Despite the
benefits of animal testing, some of the animal welfare organizations’ concerns need to be addressed with adequate
regulations to ensure that animals are treated humanely.
32. Why is animal testing considered necessary?
A. Because rats are more similar to humans than monkeys.
B. Because other testing alternatives may not replace the need for animals.
C. Because animal testing can spare humans any side effect.
D. Because animal testing has been in practice since the 19th century.
33. What suffering do animals go through during experiments?
A. Eating poisonous food.
B. Being killed deliberately.
C. Breathing in polluted air.
D. Having unnecessary operations.
34. What does the example Vioxx in paragraph 3 tell us?
A. Arthritis is hard to cure.
B. Some drugs need to be withdrawn from the market.
C. Animals can not necessarily produce accurate results.
D. A drug should be tested many more times before its release.
35. What action will the author probably agree with?
A. Experts try hard to determine whether animal tests are harmful.
B. The authorities issue a new law to guarantee animal rights during research.
C. Scientists reduce the number of animals used in research.
D. Relevant organizations show more concern about the animals’ welfare.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。
When it comes to green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled
masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. 36 They are the witness of the country. And
it would be incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and replace them with greener versions. 37 What’s
more, it would take an average of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to
make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. 38
But there is an unavoidable fact that nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and
powering those aged houses. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says
Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust. With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-
efficient. 39 Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after
2000.
40 Historic ones like Lincoln's Cottage can be transformed through efficiency upgrades. They can not
only help protect property owners from rising power costs; They can save the earth.
A. But how to change their conditions?
B. But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes.
C. Some effective measures should be taken by government.
D. So some people say that the greenest way is to maintain old ones.
E. Fortunately, some relatively simple changes can green older homes.
F. Vast energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.
G. The main cause is the cracks that expand over time and let outside air in.

Congratulations on the five anniversary of Global Mirror! I am the regular reader of your newspaper. The
reason of which I like it is that it covers both national and international news. By simply turning page, I can learn
all important things that had happened during the week. Presented some viewpoints in an objective and humorous
way, it deserves the popularity. Therefore, equally attractive are the stories of world-famous people that help me
understand which makes them succeed. As a young student, I suggest that Global Mirror would carry articles guiding
us in our English learning, and I hope that it will become even popular.
