Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, "the father of modern music", was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手)in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫廷)organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin(1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈), Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.21. Where was Beethoven horn?A. In Vienna. B. In America. C. In Germany. D. In Poland.22. Who is called "the father of modern music"?A. Bach. B. Beethoven. C. Schubert. D. Chopin.23. When did Chopin give his first public concert?A. In 1707. B. In 1818. C. In 1810. D. In 1828.24. What do we know about the four musicians?A. They all lived a hard life at their old age. B. They were all born in Germany.C. They were all talented musicians. D. They all served as a court organist.BWhen I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies, something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code. I won some free Cokes. But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize 1 won then.The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets were valid(有效的)for one year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. 1 used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.Then I donated 20 tickets(all I had left by that time)to the local Women's Transition House. Women and children could go there when they want to avoid a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start. It was the best thing I did with the tickets.My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year's Day. I knew that the Women's Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside. And I asked the Women's Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do, with or without their children, which made me really happy.25. How did the author get the tickets?A. By visiting a website by chance. B. By reading a post.C. By getting a code from a website. D. By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.26.

Brave and kind.28. Which of the following proverb can best explain the main idea of this article?A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Good luck favors those who are always ready.C. The roses in their hands, the flavor in mine. D. God helps those who help themselves.CCan ducks help solve the problem of locust(蝗虫)? That is a question being asked in Southern Asia. Like the region of East Africa, the nation of Pakistan is trying to keep masses of locusts from eating the country's crops.The insect invasion(入侵)in Africa was caused by the weather. But experts say the one in Pakistan is a side effect of a civil war in the Middle Eastern country of Yemen. Because of that war, officials haven't been able to do enough pest control to keep Yemen's locust population from growing, so the insects obviously increased and made their way north east eventually landing on Pakistan.Locusts don't directly attack people. They threaten us by eating our crops. And so many of these insects in such large numbers can destroy regional food supplies. That's why Pakistan declared(宣布)a state of emergency early this month, saying it was dealing with the highest number of locusts in more than 20 years. So what can be done about it? Some experts say pesticides are needed to kill masses of these insects, but there's another idea being considered in China. It may send ducks to Pakistan-as many as 100,000 of them-to fight the locusts by eating them. An expert interviewed by the Bloomberg media company says one cluck can eat more than 200 locusts per day, and China has reportedly used ducks to successfully solve a locust problem in the past.But not everyone is on board with this. A member of China's delegation(代表团)to Pakistan says there's not enough water in Pakistan's hot dry climate to keep the clucks going. Whatever methods are used to control locusts in Asia, the situation in Africa is getting more hopeless by the day.29. According to the paragraph 2, what caused the locust outbreak in Pakistan?A. There are no natural enemies to eat locusts.B. The civil war of Yemen affected pest control.C. The government of Yemen didn't do any pest control.D. The weather in Pakistan caused the increase of locusts.30. What harmful effect will masses of locusts bring about?A. Destroying crops. B. Changing the weather.C. Polluting the air. D. Directly threatening human security.31. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "is on board with" in the paragraph 4?A. Asks for. B. Relys on. C. Thinks about. D. Agrees on.DThe popularity of Chinese-owned video-sharing service TikTok(抖音)continues to grow among young people in the United States. In 2019, experts say the service more than doubled its American user base to 37 million. TikTok is especially popular with teens and young adults.The service lets users create and share their short videos that they think interesting and useful. Many of them are under 15 seconds. The TikTok app offers a wide choice of sounds, brief parts of songs and special effects tools to help create a video. Some TikTok-based memes(表情包)are very popular. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has even helped launch the careers of new music stars.TikTok is considered a competitor to the video-sharing app Snapchat, as well as Facebook's Instagram service. Snapchat and Instagram also mainly interest young users with a wide mix of photos and videos centered largely on fashion, pop culture and humor.Last year, TikTok was the second-most downloaded app from Apple and Google stores. Only WhatsApp was downloaded more. Research company Sensor Tower guesses people have downloaded the TikTok app 1.65 billion times.TikTok has been used by many major companies to reach young people who use little or no traditional media. One of those companies is American-based e. l. f. Cosmetics(化妆品). The makeup company's chief marketer, Kory Marchisotto, said that TikTok is "where the Gen Z party is". Gen Z is a name used to call the generation born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.“That's where they're all hanging out," Marchisotto said.Companies appearing on TikTok can make money through advertising. Often, the companies create user "challenges" as part of their advertisement campaigns. TikTok users created 3 million videos that received more than 4 billion view.32.
