21、Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.
I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.
【1】Music has magical power because it ________.
A. is a kind of language
B. can be played much louder than words
C. receives a personal radio signal
D. can influence a person's spirit
【2】What can we learn about the Beatles from the passage?
A. They were the biggest band in American history.
B. They are not accepted by modern American people.
C. They appeared at a special time in American politics.
D. They represented the roots of American culture.
【3】Music influences people in the following ways except ________.
A. connecting the listener and the composer mentally
B. transporting people from one place to another
C. allowing people to express their emotions
D. touching and inspiring people
【4】What does the writer suggest people do in the last paragraph?

22、The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional energy, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big:due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
【1】Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because ________.
A.it is free to use geothermal energy
B.the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
C.fossil fuels are nearly used up
D.geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
【2】According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A.Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
B.Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C.Coal is much more efficient than gas.
D.The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
【3】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.
B.Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C.Fossil fuels are being run out of.
D.Geothermal energy has many advantages.
23、 When we talk to our friends online,typing can become a little boring.More often than not,we turn to memes(表情包)to make our conversations more fun. But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can mean trouble.
At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive memes in a private Facebook group, the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.In fact, this was not the first time Harvard had dealt with a case like this. Instead of regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly places, joking about Orthodox Jews, the Holocaust and Mexican children,” reported CNN.
At first,the group was meant for would-be Harvard freshmen to get to know each other before they began university.But later,some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers.
The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world.
“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about.” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended.”
However, others believe the university overstepped the boundaries. “It sounds like Harvard is intruding too deeply into the private lives of students, ”Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian, “It may affect them for life.”
The university didn’t explain the decision to withdraw the offers,saying it doesn’t comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.But one of Harvard’s own policies says it has the right to withdraw offers of acceptance if “an admitted student engages in behavior that brings into question his or her honesty,maturity,or moral character”, according to the Harvard Crimson.
【1】From the text we can know that .
A.people send memes to make fun of friends during conversations
B.some Harvard students set up a group to get familiar with university courses
C.Harvard University had never dealt with similar cases before
D.Alan Dershowitz thinks it wrong to take back these students’ offers
【2】Harvard withdrew the students’ offers probably because .
A.they sent memes online
B.their moral characters were questionable

D.they joked about Harvard’s policy.
【3】What is the writer’s attitude toward the decision?

B.Objective.
C.Subjective.
D.Indifferent.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A.Harvard Hopefuls Pay Tough Price
B.Harvard Freshmen Face Charges
C.Harvard Draws the Public’s Attention

24、Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted, “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man looked to be in his 60s. He was heavyset, balding, and missing a few teeth. He laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Few minutes later, the man, named Edward, took a seat on a red chair moved down from Steller’s car, and she trimmed his curly graying hair. He told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota to be closer to his children, and how he still often phoned his mom. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “Wow, I look good!” he grinned.
To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. She is keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says.
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers. As a teen, she suffered from a severe bowel disease and her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon. Soon after finishing cosmetology (美容) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she says. “I thought maybe I can’t fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone sometimes.”
