21、When someone told 85-year-old Johnny Long that he was called a living legend, he replied, “I don’t know about that, but I’m living, and that’s important.”

Starting in 1949 as a high school band director and later as director of the Troy University band, Johnny Long became known as one of the most inspirational band directors in America. More than three hundred of his students went on to become band directors them-selves. “I have been a band director for more than 60 years and all I know about the word band is that you spell it F-U-N,” Long said. “And if you change that, it’s over.”

Long retired 14 years ago to spend more time with his wife Mary Lynn. But his passion (热情) for bands never went away. He dreamed of forming a top-notch (拔尖的) community band in Troy. But Troy is a small town — with not a ton of top-notch talent. “I didn’t think it would work, I really didn’t,” Long said.

Fortunately, there was one thing Johnny hadn’t considered: the devotion of his former students. Now, once a week during the concert season, they drive in from all over the south and across the decades.

65-year-old Bobby Johnson was in Long’s first college class. He lives in Atlanta and drives 3 hours to practice. Johnson said he does it because Long’s “such a unique character and I just admire him so much.”

Many people do it for the same reason. “He’s the single biggest influence on my career.” “He was a father figure to me. He’s just a genuine person.”

Long said he wanted to be remembered as a teacher. “I think ‘teacher’ is the greatest word in the English language, next to ‘mother’.”

【1】What Long got most from bands was ______.

A. pleasure   B. health   C. wealth   D. honor

【2】Why did Long retire 14 years ago?

A. Because he found no band talent in Troy.

B. Because he was tired of working as a director.

C. Because he hoped to spend more time with his wife.

D. Because he found his students were not devoted to music.

【3】The words of Long’s students show that ______.

A. Long treated his students like a father

B. Long was born to be a good teacher

C. Long influenced his students greatly

D. Long was very special as a teacher

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Johnny Long still teaches at the age of 85.

B. A band director had more than 300 students.

C. A band lover organized a band in a small town.

D. 85-year-old band director still inspires others.

22、We spend most of the year complaining that Britain is too cold and wet but gripe (抱怨) with just as much enthusiasm about the heat. Although moaning about the weather is satisfying, it’s better to take action and cool yourself down. You need to take extra care in the UK when temperatures hit 24℃. 【1】

Being too hot makes you unwell and can even kill you. 【2】 People over 65, under five, pregnant women, those with medical conditions(such as heart disease and mental health conditions) and those who work outside need extra protection in hot weather.

Research shows that putting your feet in cold water is a good way to reduce core body temperature and keep your organs working. It will also help reduce swelling in your ankles and feet.

【3】 However, don’t attempt to fully soak in freezing cold water as cold shock can be dangerous. In drought conditions, remember to conserve water and just concentrate on cooling either your feet, hands or neck and face, which will also be effective.

It is important to stay hydrated (补充水分) and refill the minerals we lose when we sweat. On average in very hot conditions we sweat 3-4 litres per hour and up to 10 litres a day, the same as 40 cups of tea. For a short amount of time, hot drinks raise your core body temperature. But it induces sweating, which then lowers your temperature. Cold and ice drinks do cool you down too. It’s thought hot drinks might be slightly more effective than cold. 【4】

Another way to beat the heat is wild swimming. 【5】 Slowly submerge (淹没) your body in the water, understand the limits of your swimming ability and know the rules about where it is safe to swim, because many people drown in hot weather.

A．But be aware of cold shock.

B．Some people are more fragile to heat.

C．You will definitely be ill with the icy drinks.

D．Whatever the temperature is, drink lots of fluid.

E．Heatwaves can leave you desperate to cool down.

F．This is when heat illness and deaths start increasing.

G．Moreover, having a shower or bath will cool you down faster.

23、81-year-old Paul Harvey became well-known last September after his son Nick had recorded his two-minute piece from four notes—F natural, A, D, and B natural—and posted it on Twitter.

Nick posted the piece online to show how musical ability can survive memory loss and Paul won the hearts of the British nation when he played the piano from his home in Sussex live on the television.

To mark a year since he played his composition, Paul was invited to conduct the BBC Phiharmonic orchestra(管弦乐队) playing two of his compositions at the studio in Salford. He spent an emotional afternoon with the orchestra, during which he conducted both Four Notes, while his son Nick played the piano, and an older composition of his called Where’s the Sunshine.

Paul, a former music teacher and classical pianist, said. “It was magical, it was very, very special to work with such wonderful musicians. It made me feel alive, I couldn’t believe that an orchestra was playing my music and I was standing in front of it conducting them.”

Five years ago, Paul moved into sheltered accommodation as part of his dementia(痴呆症) care.

Nick, who joined Paul on the trip—organized by Music For Dementia—had seen his dad “come alive again” since the video of him playing piano went online.

He said, “His short term memory is generally shot to pieces but when big events like this happen it’s like a branding iron on his brain. From my experience with dad, the right piece of music at the right time can be absolutely incredible. For the first time in years he has got active again. It really brought him back to life again.”

Campaign Director at Music for Dementia, Grace Meadows said. “Seeing Paul performing beyond his dementia and having the contact with the musicians was a wonderful thing. It was very emotional.”

【1】What made Paul popular with people?

A．A musical he recorded.

B．The movie he starred in.

C．A video of him playing the piano.

D．His extraordinary memory for music.

【2】Why was Paul invited to perform his work?

A．To show off his musical talent.

B．To work with excellent musicians.

C．To set an example for people with dementia.

D．To mark the first anniversary of his online video

【3】What does Nick say about Paul’s experience?

A．Short-term memory is changeable.

B．Playing the piano can cure diseases.

C．The impact of the right music is huge.

D．More videos should be taken for the elderly.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．“It was a dream!”

B．“It was magical!”

C．“He was gifted!”

D．“He was a success!”

24、Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

【1】What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Soccer and golf.  B. Skiing and skating.

C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.

【2】The underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _ _____.

A. strong emotion B. good way

C. better feeling   D. enough affection

【3】Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_______.

A. it has man-made rules

B. it is too dangerous for climbers

C. it is free for climbers to use their own methods

D. it can’t bring people joy or leisure

【4】We know from the passage that _______.

A. mountaineering has no appeal for people

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

C. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty

D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Sports in winter   B. Team work in climbing

C. Mountaineering   D. The quality for mountaineering
