Houghton Mifflin HarcourtYears ago, I appeared on stage with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir （合唱团） in the Town Hall. There I was, my feet in plain shoes, sweat dirtying my clean white shirt, singing my heart out in front of the big organ. I still have a tape recording of that performance somewhere, where I swear I can hear myself singing, high and thin and possibly off-key.But life got in the way and I stopped singing. Then, in the summer of 2019,1 found myself facing some gloom in my ow。life. It felt as if it had been a long time between songs, as if there was something unsung, some absent music in my ears. I began to fear I might be making myself ill and unable to breathe in a normal way.Could singing help me reclaim my voice and calm my fast-beating heart? Research from the Royal Society noted that “group singing can improve physical and mental health, as well as promote social bonds”. So, rather than letting my unsung tunes strangle （扼杀）me, I decided to take on a new choral experience, one being in the Big Feminist Sing, a community choir.“If you don't know what to sing J the choir director said, "find someone who looks confident and go and stand next to them." Find a friend if you're in trouble; take a risk; use your voice; be part of something bigger than yourself. Tve been singing in the choir ever since, because group singing gives me a sense of security - and each rehearsal （排练）is a lifeline, a connected thread, an intake of air working toward a collective voice. It doesn't matter if I am a bit off-key to start with. Decades of unsung situations have changed, and I have flown.4. How did the author feel during her performance in the Town Hall? A.

An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking“ machine.In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They're split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge 一 it's T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the "walking machine”.Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21 degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The project marks the first time this "walking machine method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.In recent years, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.Shanghai has been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen“ houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.8. How did the primary school get moved?A.

What is the passage mainly about?A. New preservation campaigns are launched in China.B. New technology gives new life to historic buildings.C. A building in Shanghai “walks“ to a new location.D. "Walking machine“ makes heritage protection simpler.Face masks and protective suits can save lives. But what happens after people are done using them? Binish Desai, the founder of Eco-Eclectic Technologies from Western India, saw the impact brought by the rising use and demand for single-use masks and kits due to the coronations pandemic （冠犬病毒流彳亍病），so he created Brick 2. 0 to prevent tons of single-use Personal Protective Equipment （PPE） from being waste and ending up in landfills or water streams.Although PPE is essential for medical use, it is extremely necessary to assess new alternatives and to raise awareness regarding its proper use and disposal （处理）.A study published by the American Chemical Society suggests that 129 billion face masks are used monthly during the coronations pandemic, which causes great environmental pollution. In India alone, over 18, 000 British tons of coronations-related biomedical waste was generated in just four months between June and September. The waste would take hundreds of years break down, according to the magazine Waste Advantage.Brick 2. 0 is a new version of the brick made from industrial waste, now also including used face masks and protective suits. The process starts with the collection of PPE waste through garbage cans placed in small shops and apartment buildings, with easy access for people to throw away their used items. Once in the factory, the collections are kept for 72 hours for safety reasons. Then they are cleaned and torn into pieces before being mixed with other waste. Finally, the material is shaped, and once dry, each brick is ready to use. It is three times stronger than conventional bricks at twice the size and half the price.In a complex circumstance like the one we are living in these days, this solution is not only relatively easy to operate, but also very achievable in the short term, which can really help overcome today's global environmental challenges.12. Why did Desai create Brick 2.0?A. To recycle the PPE waste.B , To reduce production cost.C , To protect water recourse.D. To prevent serious disease.13. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. The study lacks sufficient evidence.B , The pandemic is difficult to control.C. The demand for face masks is in decline.D. The environment is facing severe challenges.14. What is mainly discussed about Brick2.0in Paragraphs?A. Its function.B , Its advantage.C. Its main characteristic.D. Its production process.15 . What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Innovation never endsB , Environmental issues countC. Transform waste into treasureDefend your life with face masks二、七选五Reading poetry can be challenging, but learning how to carefully move through a poem is also very rewarding, 16 But, by following the tips below, anyone can have the deeply rewarding experience of connecting to a great poem.Sound abounds （有许多）.Poetry is made to be heard. You're probably familiar withrhyming poems： roses are red, violets are blue. . but there are many sound elements thatpoets use not only to make the poem sound beautiful, but to enhance the meaning or intention试卷第6页，共10页of a poem. 17 What do you notice about how it sounds? How does the sound enhance an overall theme, mood, or message?18 Many poems may use words or reference places or times in history that may be unfamiliar to you. Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you're unfamiliar with. You should also gather information about the poet, what was happening in their lives, and what was going on in the world around them. All of these can offer essential context to bring the poem to life.Analyze the figurative （比喻的）language in the poem. Figurative language could be words that are repeated often in the poem or words that rhyme in each stanza （节）. To get more into the figurative meaning of the poem, you should look at how the poet use literary devices like metaphor, simile, and imagery. 19Finally, you don*t have to understand it to engage with it and enjoy it If you like the way a poem sounds when you read it aloud, but don't know what it “means J that's OK!20 The great thing about art is that it can have lots of different meanings or seemingly no meaning at all and can still be enjoyed. The same goes for poetry. A. Curiosity kills the confusion.B. Look up the words you do not understand.C. They are often used to add deeper meaning to the poem.D. Maybe it makes sense in a way that you can't necessarily express.E. Once you find a poem that interests you, read it out loud several times.F. You should also pay attention to how the poet opens and closes the poem.G. Unlike painting and music, poetry requires a little extra effort to harvest its full effects.三、完形填空I took a hard fall on my right wrist and hand in the middle of our third game of the high school basketball season. 21、that just happened to be my shooting hand.According to a specialist, I had a major break in my radius （槎骨）.Although bad news, I was 22 relaxed to learn that I wouldn't need an operation.
