Sanyé Mylo’s eyes twinkle with excitement when he stands in the sound booth of The Record Co. in Boston, eager to bring his creation to life. With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the young musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation.
Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.
McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent.
He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production.
Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder.
4. Why did McArthur found The Record Co.
A. To make musicians well-known. B. To make a fortune through music.
C. To persuade people to pursue music. D. To make music production affordable.
5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Provide some advice for musicians. B. Add some background information.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Launch an appeal for musical creation.
6. What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Wealth. B. Method. C. Vision. D. Determination
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Bring Boston’s music to the world B. Turn music into a full-time occupation
C. A recording studio has advanced facilities D. Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co.
C
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.
8. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text
A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.
C To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.
9. What is the biggest threat to wildlife
A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The activities of protection areas.
B. The importance of biodiversity promotion.
C. The relevant efforts of international organizations.
D. The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.
11. What does the author want to present in the last paragraph
A. The necessity of legislation.
B. The wildlife conservation’s achievements.
C. The individuals’ contributions to the environment.
D. The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.
D
Humans have always been working Earth’s land, and they also have always been studying and hoping to work the land of Mars one day.
Planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference reported that Martian dirt may have all the necessary nutrients for growing rice, one of humankind’s most important foods. However, he emphasizes that the plant may need a bit of help to survive in perchlorate (高氯酸盐), a chemical that can be harmful to plants and has been detected on the surface of Mars.
Ramachandran says they want to send humans to Mars, but they cannot take everything there, especially food. He thinks it’s going to be expensive, but growing rice there would be ideal.
Ramachandran and his colleagues grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant (模拟物). They also grew rice in pure potting mix as well as several mixtures of the potting mix and soil simulant. All pots were watered once or twice a day. The team found rice plants did grow in the artistic dirt of Mars. However, the plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix and hybrid soils. The researchers also tried growing rice in soil with added perchlorate. They sourced some rice varieties—modified to stand environmental stressors like drought—and grew them in Mars-like dirt with and without perchlorate. No rice plants grew in a concentration of 3 g of perchlorate per kilogram of soil. But when the concentration was just I g per kilogram, one of the rice varieties grew both a shoot and a root, while another managed to grow a root.
The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars.
12. What does Ramachandran stress about growing rice on Mars in paragraph 2
A. The challenge. B. The reason. C. The benefit. D. The purpose.
13. Why do the scientists want to plant rice on Mars
A. To purify the Martian air. B. To feed Martian explorers.
C. To test the Martian soil simulant. D. To improve the Martian soil environment.
14. What can we learn about rice plants from the experiments
A. Their weight ranged from 1 g to 3 g.
B. They stopped growing in Mars-like dirt.
C. They never developed roots in soil with perchlorate.
D. Their growth was affected by perchlorate’s concentration.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the research findings
A. Suspicious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Curious.

Chloe Chang wasn’t sure about giving up her blue, pink, and purple mermaid (美人鱼) palace. Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang.
The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor, they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself.
As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner (横幅) hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted.
Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets (毯子), including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom.
Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things ” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained.

Sanyé Mylo’s eyes twinkle with excitement when he stands in the sound booth of The Record Co. in Boston, eager to bring his creation to life. With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the young musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation.
Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.
McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent.
He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production.
Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder.
4. Why did McArthur found The Record Co.
A. To make musicians well-known. B. To make a fortune through music.
C. To persuade people to pursue music. D. To make music production affordable.
5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Provide some advice for musicians. B. Add some background information.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Launch an appeal for musical creation.
6. What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Wealth. B. Method. C. Vision. D. Determination
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Bring Boston’s music to the world B. Turn music into a full-time occupation
C. A recording studio has advanced facilities D. Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了McArthur创建所有人都负担得起的录音室TheRecord Co.的故事。

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.
8. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text
A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.
C To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.

A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The activities of protection areas.

Humans have always been working Earth’s land, and they also have always been studying and hoping to work the land of Mars one day.
Planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference reported that Martian dirt may have all the necessary nutrients for growing rice, one of humankind’s most important foods. However, he emphasizes that the plant may need a bit of help to survive in perchlorate (高氯酸盐), a chemical that can be harmful to plants and has been detected on the surface of Mars.
Ramachandran says they want to send humans to Mars, but they cannot take everything there, especially food. He thinks it’s going to be expensive, but growing rice there would be ideal.
Ramachandran and his colleagues grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant (模拟物). They also grew rice in pure potting mix as well as several mixtures of the potting mix and soil simulant. All pots were watered once or twice a day. The team found rice plants did grow in the artistic dirt of Mars. However, the plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix and hybrid soils. The researchers also tried growing rice in soil with added perchlorate. They sourced some rice varieties—modified to stand environmental stressors like drought—and grew them in Mars-like dirt with and without perchlorate. No rice plants grew in a concentration of 3 g of perchlorate per kilogram of soil. But when the concentration was just I g per kilogram, one of the rice varieties grew both a shoot and a root, while another managed to grow a root.
The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars.
12. What does Ramachandran stress about growing rice on Mars in paragraph 2
A. The challenge. B. The reason. C. The benefit. D. The purpose.
13. Why do the scientists want to plant rice on Mars
A. To purify the Martian air. B. To feed Martian explorers.
C. To test the Martian soil simulant. D. To improve the Martian soil environment.
14. What can we learn about rice plants from the experiments
A. Their weight ranged from 1 g to 3 g.
B. They stopped growing in Mars-like dirt.
C. They never developed roots in soil with perchlorate.
D. Their growth was affected by perchlorate’s concentration.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the research findings
A. Suspicious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Curious.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

(在高氯酸盐浓度为每公斤土壤3克的环境中,水稻无法生长。但当浓度仅为每公斤1克时,其中一种水稻品种既长出了芽又长出了根,而另一种则长出了根。)”可知,实验表明水稻的生长受高氯酸盐的影响。土壤中高氯酸盐的浓度越低,水稻的长势越好。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars. (这一发现令人鼓舞,它表明,通过一个成功的改良基因,人类可能最终能够培育出适合火星的水稻品种。)”可知,这项研究结果令人鼓舞,作者对该研究结果持肯定的态度。故选C。

How Did I Deal With Failure
As we all know, we will inevitably encounter failure in our life, As for me, I have an experience of that too, which impressed me a lot. I found it was more than challenging for me to master the mathematical concepts when first starting senior high school. Therefore, there was no doubt that I failed in the first monthly math examination, which did depress me a lot.
However, instead of losing heart and quitting, I actively sought solutions. Not only did I reflect on my study habits, but I also reached out to turn to my math teacher for help. Eventually, I made great progress in math and was even into it.
As a saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” Through the experience, I am firmly convinced that failure is more an opportunity than a challenge for us.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Chloe Chang wasn’t sure about giving up her blue, pink, and purple mermaid (美人鱼) palace. Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. “It’s time to go,” called their mother, Mrs. Chang.
The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family’s big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself.
As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe’s arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner (横幅) hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. “Look! It’s right there!” Clark shouted.
Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark’s eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets (毯子), including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark’s attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom.
Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. “Why do we have to give away our things ” asked Chloe unhappily. “Honey, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don’t need anymore. Our neighbors can use them,” Mr. Chang explained.

【答案】参考范文:
Suddenly their neighbor Ms. Ruby and her daughter Penelope approached their blanket. Ms. Ruby, with her usual bright smile, greeted the Changs while Penelope examined the items displayed. Then Penelope looked at the mermaid palace Chloe was holding. Ms. Ruby noticing her daughter’s interest, told Chloe about how Penelope had always dreamed of having a mermaid palace but never got one. Chloe looked at her beloved palace and thought back to her mom’s words, a sense of happiness washing over her. Thinking of the happiness her toy might bring another, Chloe decided it was time to let go of her former treasure.
Chloe handed her beloved palace to Penelope. “I think it’s time for my palace to have a new owner.” Chloe whispered, her heart heavy but also filled with warmth. Penelope’s eyes lit up with joy, and she hugged the palace tightly. “Thank you. Chloe!” Penelope shouted. With a bittersweet wave to her old toy, Chloe finally realized the value of letting go and the joy of sharing. The simple act of giving and receiving painted a vivid picture of unity and generosity in this neighborhood.
