Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father’s family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother’s side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing—skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician. It wasn’t until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. “The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before,” she says. She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. “It’s wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China’s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. “I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage”.24. What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?A. Family tradition.B. Personal interest.C. Her professor.D. Her ambition.25. Apart from daily training, what did Liu do to be a professional musician?A. Follow her parents to play the suona.B. Learn music history at an early age.C. Play the suona with her parents on the stage.D. Better her oral muscles and sense of rhyme.26. How did Liu first find suona music beautiful?A. By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of MusicB. By learning from the famous professor Liu.C. By performing the suona music in Sydney.D. By hearing her family playing the suona.27. What can we learn from Liu’s last words in the last paragraph?A.She worked hard and became an international professor. B. She earned a fortune after 20 years’ training.C. She learned the value of her performance.D. She surprised many westerners with a video of her performance.C It's one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in your community or helping others.During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence(青少年) to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child's goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors(预测因素) of income in adulthood. Simply put, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!Our work proves a strong connection between a child's life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential, Damian concludes.28. What does the study mainly focus on?A.Why children change their dreams over time.B.Whether childhood goals relate to future success.C.Whether early education determines future career.D.How childhood experiences impact a person's choice.29. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up?A.Connecting with others.B.Achieving academic success.C.Hunting for a high-salary job.D.Improving personal social status.30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3?A.Dreaming big is potentially associated with success.B.Childhood achievements greatly affect future careers. C.Educational goals may be more achievable than others.D.Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success. 31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To explain the purpose of the study.B.To offer suggestions for future studies. C.To stress the significance of the study. D.To point out the limitations of the study.D After years of living underground, two broods of cicadas(蝉)will emerge this summer in parts of the Southeast and Midwest. The total number of cicadas could reach a trillion, according to the University of Connecticut.The two broods are periodical, meaning they only come above ground once everyfew years. Brood XIII, or the Northern Illinois Brood, surfaces every 17 years. Brood XIX (the Great Southern Brood), which appears every 13 years, will join this spring. This year marks the first time the two broods have appeared in the same year since 1803. It won't happen again for another 221 years.Shaped like small candy bars with transparent wings, cicadas make up more than 3,000 species. Females typically lay eggs in tree branches, and after a few months, the young cicadas hatch and hide underground. They feed on liquids from tree roots and resurface once mature to lay their eggs. They tunnel from underground, molt ( 蜕皮) after they come out, and then start searching for a mate. Males make a buzzing sound to attract mates while the females flick their wings in response to the males' mating calls. After mating, the females lay their eggs and the cycle starts again.While annual cicadas appear every year, periodical broods only emerge in certainyears and wait until the soil temperature reaches 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists have theorized that by coming out in large numbers all at once, cicadas make it harder for predators to consume them all, increasing the chances of survival for individuals and the continuity of their species.Researchers also think they understand how cicadas know that when another year has passed — the tree they drink gets richer in amino acids ( 氨基酸) once a year when it blossoms. However, they don't know exactly how cicadas track this change in amino acid levels. Martha Weiss, an insect ecologist at Georgetown University, said, We know that's what they count; where they're putting their little chalk marks on the wall and how they're keeping track of it, we still don't know.32. What is special about the two broods of cicadas?A.They rarely surface in spring.B.They mostly live underground. C.They came out in the same year.D.They both emerge every 221 years.33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about cicadas?A.Their life cycle. B.Their appearance. C.Their eating habits. D.Their mating behavior.34. Why do cicadas sometimes appear in large numbers?A.To seek out a new habitat to live in. B.To protect their eggs from predators. C.To collect food for the upcoming year. D.To ensure the survival of their species.35. How might cicadas sense the time passing?A.By observing the growth of trees.B.By feeling the temperature of the soil.C.By detecting changes in a certain nutrient. D.By tracking the movements of other insects.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。There are hundreds of worthy destinations in the country catering to all tastes.

It meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. A lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything?But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Para. 1:Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked._____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Para. 2:For several days, I waited at the same place._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
