21、“Hi everyone, my name is Yao Yuan,” said Mongolian performer Ayanga, 31, greeting the audience on stage.

The scene happened to the musical On the Road, first played in Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center on Dec 24. The musical concentrates on Yao Yuan (played by Ayanga), a courier (快递员) at a private delivery company, who built his own express delivery and e-commerce business. By focusing on the changes of the delivery industry, the musical aims to reflect the rapid development of Chinese society in the past 20 years.

“Those straightforward and good-natured couriers are the first people I think of when it comes to the delivery industry,” Ayanga said. In 2018, he impressed the audience with performance in the show Super Vocal.

“Most people would naturally remind themselves of one scene – individual people riding an electric tricycle,” said the main actress, An Yuexi, 31, known as her role as Tangbao in The Journey of Flower.

“It’s difficult to make original musical with Chinese characteristics. The script was changed at least 10 times,” Ayanga told Beijing Daily. He would even call the director at midnight to share his new thoughts on the musical. 

An also made sure her performance was the best it could be. “The biggest challenge is how to improve my singing technique with emotion on the stage,” she said. She hoped to convey to the audience the spirit of courageousness when they pursue their dreams. “The path to realize your dream is rough, but you’ll succeed as long as you keep moving on.” she added.

【1】What is the musical “On the Road” mainly about?

A．It mainly deals with the life of Ayanga.

B．It introduces a private delivery company.

C．It centers on a courier’s life and business.

D．It reflects China’s rapid development in economy.

【2】How did Ayanga feel about couriers initially?

A．Brave and serious.

B．Outgoing and optimistic.

C．Simple and broad-mined.

D．Frank and good-tempered.

【3】What is the purpose of paragraph 5?

A．To show the director’s struggle.

B．To highlight Ayanga’s great efforts.

C．To describe the performance’s process.

C．Voicing the spirits of courageousness.

D．Understanding the musical new opinions.

22、Now Hear This

What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common? Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.

Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.

"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says a physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.

What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.

The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather. "I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "

Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "

【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that .

A. loud music is a major cause of hearing loss

B. famous people tend to have hearing problems

C. teenagers should stay away from school bands

D. the problem of hearing damage is widely known

【2】In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "recondition" means   .

A. not to be seen

B. to fill with sound

C. to become larger in size

D. to make good again

【3】The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show   .

A. a list of harmful sounds

B. the effect of rock concerts

C. the noise levels of familiar sounds

D. relationship between daily activities and hearing loss

【4】Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree?

A. When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead.

B. Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.

C. Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.

D. Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

23、If you’re a primate (灵长目动物) or a koala, you have something different compared to other animals: fingerprints. Now, a new study explains how our fingerprints help us keep a grip on the surfaces that we come into contact with — and it’s all to do with regulating moisture (水分). Researchers decided to investigate this using advanced laser imaging technology and discovered a finely tuned system controlling how wet or dry our fingertips are. That means our fingers are able to react to the various types of surfaces they’re pushed up against, making the grip as strong as possible with everything from a phone to an umbrella,and preventing “catastrophic slip”where we lose hold of objects.

Close-up (特写镜头) laser imaging of volunteers touching glass showed that when fingertips make contact with hard, impermeable surfaces, extra moisture is released to increase friction and grip. However, the sweat pores are eventually blocked off to avoid contacts that are too slippery.

This sweat-pore-blocking technique is combined with an accelerated evaporation process, controlled by the ridges (隆起) of the fingerprint, that comes into play when excessive moisture needs to be removed-again,with the ultimate aim of keeping a strong contact between finger and object.

Working together, the two biological mechanisms are able to adapt to surfaces whether our fingers are originally wet or dry: They provide the keratin(角质) skin layer with just the right amount of hydration (水合作用). That gives us skills that smooth-handed and smooth-footed animals don’t have.

Besides telling us more about the human body, the research is likely to help product designers who need to design a gadget (小装置) that humans need to interact with, such as a smartphone.

Further down the line, the findings might even benefit the development of grip on prosthetic (假体的) limbs and robotic equipment, as well as devices that are used to explore virtual reality environment (where the sensation of touch might need to be simulated).

【1】Why does the author refer to a koala?

A．To explain different species are often in conflict.

B．To indicate people know little about its fingerprints.

C．To introduce the newly discovered function of fingerprints.

D．To highlight its reliance on fingerprints.

【2】What does the underlined word “impermeable” in paragraph2 most probably mean?

A．Transparent.

B．Waterproof.

C．Uneven.

D．Invisible.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．The sweat pores are closed for a while when we hold things.

B．The time when the sweat pores work is controlled by the ridges of the fingerprint.

C．The ridges of the fingerprint are insensitive to excessive moisture.

D．Prosthetic limbs and robotic equipment benefit most from the findings.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．No Fingerprints, No Grip

B．Irreplaceable Benefits of Fingerprints

C．Two Biological Mechanisms Matter for a Grip

D．Fingerprints Give a Better Grip
