21、The Chinese philosopher Confucius said long ago that "Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without." Playing a musical instrument has many benefits and can bring joy to you and everyone around you.

A good musician knows that the quality of practice time is more valuable than the quantity. In order for a musician to progress quicker, he or she will learn how to organize his or her practice time and plan different challenges to work on, making efficient use of time. Thus, learning how to play an instrument helps you to learn how to be organized and to manage your time wisely.

Team skills are a very important aspect of being successful in life. Playing an instrument boosts your teamwork skills as it requires you to work with others to make music. In band and orchestra settings, you must learn how to cooperate with the people around you. Furthermore, in order for a group to make beautiful music, each player and section must learn how to listen to each other and play together.

Playing an instrument comes with its responsibilities. Maintenance and care are very important in keeping an instrument in good working condition. Each instrument has different procedures to keep it functioning properly. In addition to being responsible for maintaining one's instrument, there are other aspects such as remembering music events like rehearsals and performances, and making time for practice. Thus, learning an instrument increases your sense of responsibility.

Playing music by yourself requires you to concentrate on things like pitch, rhythm, tempo and quality of sound. Playing in a group involves even more concentration because you must learn to not only hear yourself, but you must listen to all the other sections and play in harmony with the rest of the group. Therefore, learning a musical instrument sharpens your concentration skills.

【1】The author quotes Confucius' words at the beginning to ________.

A．introduce the topic of playing music

B．arouse readers' interest in performing music

C．settle an argument over the effects of playing music

D．clarify a confusion in people's understanding of music

【2】What can be learned about playing a musical instrument?

A．The quantity of practice counts most in making progress.

B．Taking care of an instrument requires concentration skills.

C．Teamwork skills determine whether a group can play in harmony.

D．Participation in music events develops one's memory and responsibility.

【3】How does the author develop paragraph 5 ?

A．By giving examples.

B．By making a contrast.

C．By offering analyses.

D．By providing figures.

22、The COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗） rate in the US has fallen to new lows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.

With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量） by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC） reported last week that 63 percent of adults had received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.

On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.

The slowdown is more prominent across the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.

James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”

The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血） reactions.

The “low-hanging fruit—those people who absolutely want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.

【1】What can we learn from the text?

A．Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

B．In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3

C．In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.

D．Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?

A．Meaningful.

B．Obvious.

C．Inspiring.

D．Complex.

【3】How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?

A．By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.

B．By offering the vaccine to the public for free.

C．By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.

D．By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4

B．CDC has been tracking the vaccination rate since mid-February

C．Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them to

D．Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed

23、   Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.

Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reason.

I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickersabout Cowboy’s looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.

When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.

One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.

The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.

All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.

My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.

As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!

I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.

【1】The underlined expression “shown the gate” (paragraph 4) most probably means “_________”.

A.told how to enter the arena B.shown how to make the horse beautiful

C.removed from the competition early D.told to enter the timed-speed events

【2】Why was the writer not confident of victory?

A.He was an inexperienced rider.

B.He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.

C.He had not practiced enough.

D.He thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others.

【3】What did the writer learn from his experience?

A.Life can sometimes be unfair.

B.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.

C.A positive attitude will bring success.

D.One should not make judgments based on appearance.

【4】The best title for the story is ________.

A.A Run to Remember B.A Horse’s Tale

C.Neck and Neck D.A Difficult Age

24、   “She's awfully cute.” That's what Marty Ginsburg thought when he met his fellow Cornell student Ruth Bader in 1950. Soon he noticed something else. " He thought she was awfully smart,” says their son James Ginsburg. “Mom said Dad was the only boy who dated her,” James says,"who cared that she had a brain."

That brain, of course, would take her all the way to the Supreme Court. But while the world knows about Ruth Bader Ginsburg-the second woman to be appointed as U.S.Supreme Court justice-the story of the grand love affair between Ruth and Marty hasn't been publicly told until now.

As Ruth became an expert in gender-discrimination law, she and Marty were a living example of what equality of the sexes was all about. "I did the cooking, and she did the thinking,”Marty often joked. But, as Ruth saw it, "Without him, I would not have gained a seat on the Supreme Court.”

The tests to the couple's love came early and often. When they were still in law school, Marty got cancer. While he underwent radiation, Ruth organized his friends to take class notes.“He'd get up around midnight and then eat whatever food I had cooked for him," Ruth said. Marty survived.

After Ruth was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980, Marty followed her to D.C. "He was always trying to get her to leave the office and come home for dinner," says NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg. And when she got the nomination as a Justice, Marty took her shopping to pick out suits for her confirmation hearings. He also joined the court's “spouses club", because he wanted to cook when they all got together.

Their love took on a new meaning in 2010, after a tumor was found in Marty and Ruth became his caretaker again, staying up with him through the night. In his final days Marty left his wife a note: “You are the only person I have loved in my life and I have admired you since the day we first met at Cornell 56 years ago.” He died 10 days later.  The next day Ruth returned to work on the bench. Asked why, she had a simple answer : “Marty would have wanted it that way.”

【1】In Ruth's eyes what makes Marty different from the other men dating her?

A.He  could do cooking for her. B.He was fascinated by her wisdom.

C.He helped her promote sexual equality. D.He came from the same university as she did.

【2】What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A.What changes took place in Ruth. B.Why Marty was addicted to cooking.

C.How Marty supported Ruth all the way. D.How Ruth became a Supreme Court justice.

【3】The underlined sentence implies that Marty wished Ruth to

A.fulfil his dream B.forget their past

C.work long hours D.move on without him

【4】What could be the best title of the passage?

A.Ruth Bader Ginsburg:Her Sweet Family B.Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Her Life Experience

C.Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Her Great Love Story D.Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Her Fight For Gender Equality
