24、“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is useful in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.

【1】Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.

A. they were too difficult to learn   B. students in the US weren’t interested in music

C. the schools wanted to control budgets   D. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US

【2】In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to（指代）?

A. Fired teachers.   B. Public schools.   C. Parents in Chicago.   D. Students in Chicago.

【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

D. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

【4】How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

A. One.   B. Two.   C. Three.   D. Four.

【5】What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks.   B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives.   D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.

25、   It was a fine spring day with beautiful flowers in the park.  A young man arrived early and waited for his girlfriend under a big tree. But he was so short-tempered(脾气暴躁的) that he wasn't in the mood to enjoy the view.

Suddenly, an angel appeared. “Put this button(纽扣)  onto your clothes. If you don't want to wait, just turn the button to the right. You can skip over any time period if you want to. "

The man happily held the button and turned it softly. Oh! How amazing! His girlfriend appeared before him and was gently smiling to him! How I wish our wedding ceremony could be held now ! He turned the button once again. A great wedding appeared in front of him, the beautiful bride was standing next to him and the band was playing cheerful music. He lost himself in it deeply.

The desires in his heart kept coming out : I also want a big house with a garden in the front. He turned the button. Then he wished for children. All of a sudden, a group of lovely children were playing happily in the huge living room. Again, he jumped at the chance to turn the button to the right.

How time flew. Before he could see beautiful flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in deep snow. Looking at himself again, he found his hair was totally white. He had already become so old.

He felt so sad. He would rather enjoy life step by step than watch it go by in such a hurry. He quickly turned the button to the left.  Once again, he was waiting for his lovely girlfriend under that big tree.

27、With the Olympic flame (火焰) extinguished (熄灭), the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games drew to a close on Feb 20.

The president of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach described the Games as “truly exceptional (非凡的)”. “This unforgettable experience was only possible because of our gracious (亲切的) hosts, the Chinese people,”said Bach.

At the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, a total of 2,897 athletes from 91 countries and regions competed for 109 gold medals. Through 17 days of outstanding performances, 17 Olympic records, including two world records, were broken. The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games was the most gender⁃balanced (性别平衡的) to date, where 45 percent of the athletes were female.

As the first city to ever host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, Beijing provided thoughtful service for all participants(参与者). It followed four principles—being “green (绿色), inclusive(共享), open (开放) and clean (廉洁)”,and three requirements—being “streamlined (简约), safe and splendid (精彩)”.

Still, the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games faced great challenges. It was the first international multi⁃sport event to be held on schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic. To deal with it, athletes were kept safe within a closed loop (闭环), preventing any imported cases (输入病例) from spreading to the public. Bach said China was one of the safest places on the planet and this was a great achievement.

Chinese food and culture during the Spring Festival impressed international athletes. Many shared photos and videos of the Games on social media.

The event, particularly, witnessed (见证) the rise of people born between 1995 and 2010. They made a name for themselves and inspired (激励) people around the world with their passion and courage. For example, 18-year-old Gu Ailing won two gold medals and a silver medal in freestyle skiing (自由式滑雪). She tried an amazing jump she had never tried before—four and a half full rotations (四周半旋转) in the air before landing backward (向后) in the big air event.

【1】How many athletes took part in the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games?

A．2,022.

B．109.

C．2,788.

D．2,897.

【2】How many Olympic records were broken at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games?

A．2.

B．15.

C．17.

D．19.

【3】Why could Beijing provide thoughtful service?

A．Because it followed four principles and three requirements.

B．Because the participants were familiar with the city.

C．Because Beijing is clean and open.

D．Because it has experience in holding Olympic events.

【4】What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?

A．How the Olympics affect young people.

B．Why young people are excellent.

C．The success of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
