21、   Yo-Yo Ma is an American cellist (大提琴家) born in Paris to Chinese parents. His musical career is a testament to his belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing works, engaging unexpected musical forms, or working with communities and institutions to explore culture’s role in society, he works to create a better world that begins with culture.

Expanding upon this belief, in 1998 he established Silkroad, a collective of artists worldwide creating music that engages many traditions. In addition to presenting performances, Silkroad cooperates with museums and universities to develop training programs for teachers, musicians, and learners of all ages. Through his work with Silkroad, he frequently performs lesser-known music.

Besides, he partners with communities and institutions to develop programs that champion culture’s power to transform lives and create a more connected world. Among his many roles, he is artistic director of the annual Youth Music Culture Guangdong festival, a UN Messenger of Peace, and the first artist ever appointed to the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees.

When the pandemic began, Yo-Yo began an online series titled “Songs of Comfort” to ease anxieties. His short, self-shot videos soon reached over 18 million people. On March 13, 2021, after receiving the 2nd COVID-19 shot, he transformed a clinic into a temporary concert hall, in a moment that residents called a symbolic representation of “the light at the end of the tunnel”.

Yo-Yo Ma once said every generation has a chance to do better, to create a world that works for all. To him, doing better begins with culture—the point at which the arts, sciences, and society cross.

【1】The underlined word “testament” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A．thought

B．proof

C．invitation

D．reaction

【2】What do we know about Silkroad from the text?

A．It offered music trainings independently.

B．It was set up by museums and universities.

C．It benefited traditional and unpopular music.

D．It was intended to create more musical forms.

【3】Which of the following best describes Yo-Yo Ma?

A．Fair and determined.

B．Humorous and smart.

C．Generous and traditional.

D．Open-minded and positive.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Music Knows No Boundaries.

B．Music Matters to Build a Connected World.

C．Yo-Yo Ma: Dream and Hope Make One Artist Innovator.

D．Yo-Yo Ma: Pathway to a Better World Begins with Culture.

22、NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam

NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam is a stimulating scene. Children of different ages have fun with huge soap bubbles and experiments in the chemistry lab. Grown-ups, with or without children of their own, have fun at NEMO too. It’s hard to hold back when you are presented with all the devices and experiments.

Visiting NEMO

Amsterdam NEMO houses loads of hands-on science and technology exhibitions inside its large

boat-shaped building. No matter what your background is, you will learn something new and have fun in exciting games. Attractions change regularly, so check the homepage to get the latest word.

Rooftop square: the roof is freely accessible for everyone. You can find the open-air exhibition Energetica and a restaurant on the roof, with beautiful views of the city of Amsterdam.

23、In 1986, I watched my first soccer match on my parents’ big box television. I was six, and ever since then, I have dreamed of attending the World Cup.

This year, I traveled to Brazil to make my dream a reality. The first match I attended was between Australia and Spain. Within minutes of walking into the stadium, I found myself surrounded by the excited fans, talking and cheering together. Unlike what one normally sees on the news, this match was mainly peaceful except for one fight. When the fight started, the whole section began chanting(呼喊)with one voice, asking those fighting to stop. When they didn’t, the rabble-rousers were sent out by security guards minutes later.

What struck me about the games I attended was the sense of camaraderie. I met soccer fans from different countries. Sometimes we were cheering for the same team and sometimes for opposite teams, but that didn’t stop us from becoming friends. The stands were not divided between teams, and the interaction was often spirit-lifting.

I also watched the game in Sao Paulo that ousted(淘汰)Brazil from the World Cup. I was with friends at a large bar which hosted a mix of Brazilian and German supporters. As Germany scored one goal after another, the sadness and even tears were visible on the faces of Brazilians. But German fans came to the Brazilians to comfort them and apologize that the game was ending with such a big gap. Everyone was hoping for a good match.

What I love about the World Cup is that it provides a chance for people to learn about other countries and cultures. People learn about the countries of the teams they support and about their opponents’ history and culture. Soccer is a game that not only gives people the chance to learn about each other but also has the potential to unite people.

Sports can be a dividing force, but the true spirit of sports is about unity and fun. The matches at this World Cup have been exactly that so far, and I hope it remains so.

【1】What does the underlined word “rabble-rousers” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The injured players.

B．The fighting fans

C．The excited viewers.

D．The security guards

【2】What impressed the author most about the games that he attended?

A．The chanting fans.

B．The peaceful atmosphere.

C．The warm friendship.

D．The players’ performance.

【3】Why did the author mention his bar experience?

A．To present a fact.

B．To illustrate a point.

C．To solve a problem.

D．To make a comparison.

【4】What is mainly conveyed in the passage?

A．Fans’ support counts in sports.

B．The World Cup is worth attending.

C．Sports bring the world together.

D．Sports are about cultural exchange.

24、   At a time when industries are under greater pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, more production facilities are turning to digital sensing technology to provide the real-time insights they need for improved performance. What if one digital sensor could measure multiple signals?

Yokogawa's DPharp（差压传送器）digital technology has the unique ability to measure two pressure parameters （参数），delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations. The unique aspect of this digital technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module, providing additional insight into a plant's operations. It is the only sensor in the world that does this.

DPharp transmitters（发射器）use silicon（硅）resonant（谐振的）sensor technology to measure both differential（差别） and still pressure. The sensor consists of two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and, when pressure is applied, the frequency of one resonator increases while the other decreases. By monitoring these frequencies digitally, both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time. The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.

DPharp can be used in any processing plant across any industry—oil and gas to food and drinks. DPharp's unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will equate to an average reduction of 40 percent. Where they would typically use five measuring devices, they are using three by using the multi-sensing technology. That is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices installed and the added benefit is that, as there are less devices, the engineering and design is less complex, which means less materials and less equipment to maintain. Furthermore, there are fewer transmitter spares required, which reduces costs. Tony Farah, Product Manager, said that more organisations are seeing the significant benefits of smart devices like DPharp.

【1】What is special about DPharp digital technology?

A.It provides the real-time insights.

B.It brings significant changes in engineering.

C.It measures two parameters in one sensor.

D.It provides accurate measurement.

【2】What is the frequency output read by?

A.Two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators.

B.The central processing unit of the transmitter.

C.Monitoring devices.

D.The operator of the plant.

【3】What is the plants' attitude to DPharp?

A.Cautious. B.Ambiguous.

C.Favorable. D.Disapproving.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.How DPharp is bringing value across production plants.

B.How sensor works in a different way.

C.Why DPharp is efficient and reliable.

D.Where DPharp can be used.
