23、When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, his energetic listeners react wildly. Some pull his hair or jump on his piano. Others steal his music.

The behavior is normal, however, because these crowds are truly wild— wild monkeys to be exact. Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for its populations of wild macaque monkeys. The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the coronavirus crisis.

The disease has caused problems for the monkeys, too. They are hungry. The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.

“We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly. And when they eat properly they will be calmer and will not be aggressive,” said Barton, 59, a long-time Thailand resident.

Barton has played at four sites in Lopburi, including at an ancient Hindu temple, a store and an old movie theater.

The macaques quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven’s Für Elise and Michael Nyman’s Diary of Love. Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head.

“A wonderful opportunity to see the wild animals just being themselves,” said Barton, from Yorkshire in northern England.

But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument. Other monkeys take control of his music papers.

“I was surprised to play the piano and find that they were actually eating the music as I was playing it.” But, he added, “I wasn’t going to let those things distract from the project which is to play the music for these wonderful macaques.”

The monkeys are Barton’s latest animal fans. Past wildlife audiences included elephants living in special protected areas.

Barton hopes to raise awareness of the monkeys’ hunger. At the same time, he hopes to study their behavior as they react to classical music.

【1】Why does Paul Barton play to the wild macaque monkeys in Thailand?

A．To cure their disease.

B．To make friends with them.

C．To attract more tourists to watch them.

D．To draw people’s attention to their hunger.

【2】Which is the macaque monkeys’ reaction to Paul Barton’s performance?

A．Listening carefully to his perfect performance.

B．Becoming more aggressive when he plays classical music.

C．Trying to stop him by taking away his music paper.

D．Surrounding him and reacting wildly.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Wild animals are difficult to deal with.

B．Macaque monkeys are also infected with coronavirus.

C．Barton keeps on playing however the monkeys react.

D．Elephants living in special protected areas will be Barton’s next listeners.

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

A．Musician plays for Monkeys in Thailand

B．The Power of Music

C．Classical Music Prevents Monkeys from Hunger

D．The Recovery of Wild Monkeys

24、Singles' Day ---- the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China's “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country.

There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural – usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio  (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.

Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country.

Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to(诉诸于) increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China’s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.

【1】In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born?

A. 50.   B. 52. C. 58.   D. 60.

【1】What made women in China get married late?

A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy.

B. Their higher education level and more work chances.

C. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.

D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.

【1】What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?

A. Optimistic   B. Indifferent

C. Concerned     D. Unknown

【1】We can learn from the passage that .

A. Singles' Day is celebrated all over the world.

B.an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime.

C. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage.

D. Singles' Day will solve all the problems China’s singles face.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the following passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report found that Millennials’-people born in the 1980s and 90s- wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low-cost clothes are growing.

But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bédat, who is in her early 30s, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over.

So Ms. Bédat started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable over time.

The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food” and “slow food”: fast food is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer higher-quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.

Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bédat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is ‘making them. To answer Millennials demand for information about the products they buy, Ms. Bédat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands and it also describes the process in which the clothes are made.

The international business “H & M” is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H & M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H & M spokesperson says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills. “
