24、   Can you imagine a five-year-old boy writing and playing music on a child-sized violin? This was true of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a gifted boy who grew up to be one of the most creative composers (作曲家) of all time. Then you might think that the life of this child was easy all the time. Read on. Decide for yourself.

Mozart was born in January of 1756 into a musical family. His father, Leopold Mozart, recognized the talent of his child and devoted himself to teaching him. Later, Mozart toured Europe, putting on concerts for the people of high social positions. He could listen to any piece of music once and then play it from memory. He could play the piano or the violin with his eyes covered. What's more, music that Mozart wrote at the age of five was as good as works by many adult composers.

Mozart earned a living by selling his compositions, giving concerts and providing music lessons for the wealthy. Some of the operas Mozart wrote, such as The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni, are still performed today. He composed 41 symphonies(交响乐). However, none of them earned him much money, and he spent far more than he was able to earn. Mozart often waited until the last moment to work on pieces that had been asked for.

By the spring of 1791, Mozart was ill and sad. He was deeply in debt(债务). His health, which had never been good, was becoming even worse. A stranger asked Mozart to write a musical piece for a funeral( 葬 礼 ). Mozart agreed, but then began to fear that it was being written for his own death. His fears turned out to be true. Mozart died in December of 1791, at the age of 35.

【1】What is the purpose of the writer by saying "Read on. Decide for yourself "in paragraph1?

A.To increase your reading interest.

B.To tell you it is your business to read it or not

C.To introduce that the child always led an easy life

【2】Which of the following can't show that Mozart was a born musician?

A.He could play any music wonderfully

B.He could write good works at an early age.

C.He held concerts for the people of high social positions

【3】We can infer from the paragraph 3 that________.

A.Mozart could support himself by working so hard

B.Mozart led a poor life although he wrote many pieces

C.Mozart's compositions sold well and he made a lot of money

【4】According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?

A.Mozart was still poor before his death

B.Mozart's fame gave him a hard life and he felt unhappy

C.Mozart was in poor health so he wanted to wrote a piece for his own funeral

【5】What's the passage about?

A.Mozart's lifetime B.Mozart's talent C.Mozart's works

26、

Earth is about 75% water. But most of that water is salty. Only about 2.5% of Earth’s water is fresh water — the kind we can drink and that plants need to grow. Much of Earth’s fresh water is locked up in ice caps. In all, just 1% of Earth’s water can be used for washing, drinking, cooking, and watering crops.

       In some countries, people don’t usually worry about having enough clean, fresh water. People just turn on a faucet(水龙头) and there it is. In some countries, though, water is scarce(稀缺的). People in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have serious water shortages.

       What causes water shortages? In some places, well water is being used faster than wells can refill. In other places, droughts — long periods without enough rain—mean there is not enough water. Some parts of the United States are now having water problems because of drought. Evaporation(蒸发) is a big problem in some parts of the world. When the sun shines on water, the water turns into vapor(水蒸气) and rises into the air. The water is gone before it can do any good. The ground becomes dry. Nothing can grow. Not all fresh water is safe to drink. Water in wells, lakes, and rivers may have bad things that cause illness. When water is dirty, it can be dangerous to drink. Dirty water is making children sick. It is dangerous to get a drink or even wash your hands.

       But the news isn’t all bad. Mansoor Ali, who works for the United Nations, says water problems can be solved. Kids and adults are learning how to protect water and how to use it wisely.

【1】How much of Earth’s water can be used for washing, drinking, cooking, and watering crops?

A．1%.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Water problems can’t be solved.

B．All of the fresh water is safe to drink.

C．People in America have serious water shortages.

D．Evaporation is one of the reasons for water shortages.

【3】What will happen if the ground becomes dry?

A．Crops can’t grow.

B．Vapor will rise into the air.

C．Water will become dirty.

D．Wells can refill.

【4】According to the text, washing your hands with the dirty water is ________.

A．acceptable

B．meaningless

C．harmful

D．special

【5】What can we learn from the text?

A．We should stop using the fresh water.

B．There is too much water to be used up.

C．Everyone should protect water and use it wisely.

D．Only a few places in the world face water shortages.
