The great producer Tommy worked with many famous popular singers. However, one of his albums is a little different. It's classical music, made for children.
"He actually started as a child violinist," said Mark Nekrug, a famous classical composer who worked together with Tommy on the album, "Sunken Cathedrals, " after being introduced by Rock Posatino, a doctor with a special interest in music's value to medicine. "The three of us all want to promote classical music to children."
In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions, however, Nekrug sees a very particular value in classical music. "I'm concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people's attention spans," he said. "That's terrifying. How do you even absorb and learn things? How do you expect kids to do well in school?"
"I think it's really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus, "Nekrug said. "Great music can do that, because you're drawn into what you're listening to, "A Two or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on, but it's a good attention span for kids." he said, "We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long."
All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted, complete works of classical music. "Tommy, Dr Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little, short, beautiful pieces for kids. They happen to be really good for adults too," he pointed out, though the words "Classics for Kids" on the cover might scare some grown people off.
This doesn't mean you should throw all of our popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices in your home. "I'm not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world," Nekrug said. "I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally able to use the smartphone with one hand, is fine."
24. What did Mark Nekrug and Rock Posatino have in common?
A. They had the same career. B. They had the same interest.
C. They had the same number of children. D. They had the same circle of friends.
25. What was Nekrug worried about?
A. People's decreasing attention spans. B. People's low learning ability.
C. People becoming too aggressive. D. People losing faith in school.
26. Why did Tommy and Nekrug select short pieces for the album?
A. To attract distracted adults. B. Because of their own preference.
C. Because of kids' mental characteristics. D. To include more pieces in the album.
27. What does the text want to tell us?
A. Popular music producers turned to classical music.
B. Classical music can coexist with digital devices.
C. It's never too late to listen to classical music.
D. Kids can benefit from classical music.
C
It has become a common observation that the coronavirus outbreak makes it feel like we are living in a dystopian(反乌托邦的)novel right now. Even the name COVID-19 sounds like something straight out of science fiction. It is an unwelcome new area for us, but humanity has written about it many times. It comes as no surprise that readers are returning to these works to make sense of the strange world we currently find ourselves in.
In France, Albert Camus's novel The Plague has tripled(三倍)its sales this year, as it has in Italy too. Published in 1947, the novel is a great work of pandemic fiction. It describes a bubonic plague epidemic(鼠疫流行病)in the Algerian town of Oran, which is immediately quarantined(隔离). Anyone stuck without a flight home currently can understand the character who observed that "being separated from a loved one was the saddest experience of that long period."
The pandemic is an enemy, but not a human one, so such events throughout history have enabled writers to capture a moment in time, such as Daniel Defoe's 1722 novel A Journal of the Plague Year. It gave a detailed account of life during the bubonic plague epidemic in London. Curiously, the 1918 influenza pandemic(流行感冒)to which COVID-19 is being compared is under-represented in literature. That's probably because everyone was writing war novels, which had more dramatic potential.
A pandemic is more central to the story of Mary Shelley's The Last Man, which was published in 1826 but is set in the 21st century. Amid political unrest, people seek shelter from a pandemic spreading across the world, until one of them becomes humanity's only survivor. Just as Frankenstein's monster did at the end of Shelley's most famous novel, the survivor is destined(注定)to wander the world alone.
A pandemic can also provide a novel with an appealing premise(前提), typically in the thriller genre(流派). Michael Crichton's 1969 novel The Andromeda Strain is about a micro-organism from outside the earth which does not need a human host to spread. Sure enough, Crichton's novel spread like wildfire, inspiring a movie, a TV series, and even a sequel(续篇)after his death.
What about the future? We can soon expect to see books inspired by the COVID-19 outbreak, either directly addressing it or subtly disguised(掩饰).Dramatic times have always inspired great fiction, which will be one small relief when we come through this.
28. Which of the following novels is most likely a good description of history?
A. The Plague. B. The Last Man.
C. The Andromeda Strain. D. A Journal of the Plague Year.
29. What did people feel when stuck in the long period of pandemic?
A. depressed B. happy C. confused D. awkward
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. It was The Last Man that brought Mary Shelley fame.
B. A number of war novels were created in the late 1910s.
C. The Andromeda Strain has regained popularity recently.
D. All the four novels have been adapted for film or television.
31. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Pandemics in Literature B. The Outbreak of COVID-19
C. The Last Man Set in the 21st Century D. Pandemics occurring in History
D
According to a recent article, "e-sports" are attracting a large number of audience.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Overwatch. Fans fill arenas(场馆)to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $ 24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11million. A recent e -sports competition attracted more than 80, 000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don't tell me that competitive gaming is a real sport because it requires hand –eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill." I don't think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of message. Competition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are "not good" at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.‘
32. What are "e-sports" according to the text?
A. Video computer game competitions. B. Easy sports games for kids.
C. Sport events on television screens. D. The latest sports in the Olympic Games.
33. What might the author think of "e-sports"?
A. They are not instructive. B. They should be banned at school.
C. They need too much time and money. D. They have some negative influence on children.
34. What does the underlined word "exertion" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Fitness. B. Effort C. Force. D. Growth.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new kind of sport.
B. To introduce a competition held in Beijing.
C. To explain the importance of playing sports.
D. To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In Daniel Pink's Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for yourself, he closes the book with a long, excellent list of "Work Smarter Not Harder" type advice for people who want to start working for themselves.
36 Below are my favorites.
·Make a "to don't" list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn't waste your time on-useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 37
·Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 38 Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and to weave creativity into the fabric of your life.
· 39 Become a learning machine. Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.
·Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities(优先). Ask yourself "Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?" Remember
