8、空At 6 in the afternoon on May 21, Yao and his team members were dressed in traditional Sichuan opera costumes (戏服) in a hot pot restaurant. They were ready to excite customers with their first face-changing show since the outbreak of COVID-19. They arrived three hours earlier to allow for preparatio
9、ns, as the moment they had been waiting for over the past four months finally came.Their last performance (演出) was on _15_ 21. All the costumes and props (道具) have been prepared for shows after the Spring Festival holiday, but the sudden epidemic ruined (破坏) all his plans. They were supposed to put
10、on 36 performances during the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday season, but Yao kept _16_ calls to tell him of cancelations. For nearly two months, the teammates all stayed at home to _17_ the COVID-19 infection and waited for work. In late March, when the spread began to become weaker, Yunnan province
11、 introduced a series of rules to _18_ industries to restart work.So Yao also started his new career, _19_ a restaurant in Kunming, the provincial capital, in order to make ends meet. They didnt have any income (收入) from performing for months, and Yao had to find ways to make money since the team was
12、 _20_ by him. The name of the restaurant is “Mian”, which in Chinese means “noodles” or “face”, showing his two rolesa face-changing _21_ and a noodle restaurant owner. The restaurant is small with 10 tables crowded inside. On a table in the corner is displayed a set of livestreaming equipment. Yao
13、is _22_ sharing Sichuan opera and face-changing culture to his followers nationwide on livestreaming platforms.To get prepared for the next stage, Yao asks his students to practice their operatic performances and _23_ their moves to push them forward every day. “Although our performances have been i
14、nfluenced, the practice of face-changing cant stop, _24_ we would be at a loss on the stage,” he said. Yao came up with this method just to keep the team together.15AJanuaryBFebruaryCMarchDApril16AmissingBreceivingCmakingDrefusing17AavoidBcureCprovideDinfluence18ApromiseBchargeCguardDsupport19Aselli

How different are things going to be? Some scientists
17、offer their predictions (预测).Transportation will look very different in years to come. “Weve already seen how driverless technology is picking up,” says Chris Riddell, a famous futurist. Well before 2050, he predicts roads in many big cities will be filled with self-driving cars. People who want to
18、drive themselves will have to pay extra money for pleasure. What will happen after that? Riddell predicts people will be taken to the skies. Personal drones (无人驾驶飞机) will have been a thing by the year 2050. Dubai has planned to use drone taxis to transport people around the city in the future.Among
19、all new technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) will change our lives the most greatly, says Riddell. The goal is to build artificial intelligence into computers. These computers can learn to act like humans. But because of their artificial “ 29 ”, they can learn more at a faster speed. “In the y
20、ear 2050, you wont just have humans at the top of businesses,” says Riddell. “Company bosses will likely work alongside computing systems.”By 2050, there will have been more people living on Earth. A growing population will add stress to the environment. Ian Lowe is a retired professor of science. H
21、e warns that we need to replace fossil fuels (化石燃料) with clean energy. Otherwise, we will likely see more natural disasters. “We are ruining the environment at a great speed,” Lowe says. “We simply dont know what the long-term effects of that will be.” We must act now, Lowe adds. What happens in the
22、 future will be the result of our decisions and actions today.28The famous futurist Chris Riddell predicts that in the year 2050, _.Apeople will drive cars on the road for freeBdrone taxis will be used all around the worldCcomputers will learn more and faster due to AIDcompany bosses will be control

24、ld use clean energy instead of fossil fuels.“Wanted: Violin. Cant pay much. Call”Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I seldom look at such ads.I put the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I,
25、 too, had wanted a violin, but we didnt have the money.When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldnt wait any longer to ask, “Daddy,
26、 may I have a violin of my own?”Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family devotions, “and Lord, Mary wants her own violin.”One evening we all sat around the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr. Finkle, a fine violinist.When Daddy received
27、 a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, “Well be driving to Columbus.”The day finally arrived. After we got there, Mr. Finkle, a tall man, older than Daddy, opened the door. “Come in!” he and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once.He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out
28、 a violin and started to play. “Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. Its a good violin. Mary should be able to make beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.I noticed the tears in Daddys eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine! I stoked the violin gently. “Its beau
29、tiful.” I said, barely breathing. When I was ready to join the school orchestra (管弦乐队) , I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in
30、 the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair.I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to fill my needs and desires when I was a little girl. I wonder if I had ever thanked him.At last I picked up the newspaper,
31、 walked to the phone and dialed the number. Later in the day, a man in his 30s knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said, “How much are you asking?” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice sum. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.”31Which of the following
32、 is true according to the passage?ACarl wrote a letter to thank Mr. Finkle for giving him a violin.BMarys family lived a harder life because of the poor harvest.CMary in the first-violin chair at her first school performance.DMary was sure she would be a great violinist like Mr. Finkle.32What does t
33、he underlined phrase “out of the question” mean?AdoubtfulBimpossibleCnaturalDcertain33What can we infer (推断) from the passage?AMary passed her love to others in the way Mr. Finkle did.BMary never said thanks to his father who had passed away.CThe young mans family had no money to pay for the violin.
34、DMary knew why her father took her to Columbus before going.Chinese rose plants lining the roads always are a welcome sight for Ye Jiaxing, 32, when she returns from a business trip and takes a taxi home from Beijing Capital International Airport. Like many Beijing natives, Ye feels deeply connected
35、 to the city, wherever she is, and the roses in full bloom (开花) always make her feel less tired and remind her that she has arrived home.Praise from poets Growing of the roses in China can be traced back about 2,000 years. Before they were grown, the wild roses only bloomed once a year. As more and
36、more people were attracted by the roses, they started growing. The roses can flower for more than 200 days a year. Well-known poets during the Tang Dynasty produced many works to praise the lengthy flowering period of the Chinese rose. During the Yuan Dynasty, specialized flower businesses began app
37、earing in some towns to supply Chinese roses to the palaces. Empress Josephine, the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, loved roses and collected varieties from all over the world. Many people in Europe love the flowers, especially as they bloom for most of the year.Research efforts Last year alone, m
38、ore than 50 million Chinese rose plants from over 2,500 varieties were growing in Beijings streets, gardens and parks. The Chinese rose usually blooms three to four times every year after the Spring Festival, each lasting about 10 days, providing a perfect chance for people to fully appreciate (欣赏)
39、them until October. In China, Beijing is the best place to plant Chinese roses. The citys mainly dry weather and low rainfall make pest control easier. Some diseases, such as black rot, which is usually seen in southern China, are also prevented by these weather conditions. After hundreds of experim
40、ents, we knew that climbing roses were the best choice to plant along ring roads in Beijing. 35 In the past 20 years, some people have known the economic value of the flowers and started to take up growing new types. Growing a new type of the Chinese rose is not easy. People need to cross-pollinate
41、(授粉) at least 10,000 plants to get a new one while the Chinese rose is normally self-pollinating. Even when all the conditions are right, some luck is needed to grow new types. A new type named Beijing Pink won the Chinese rose contest at the International Horticultural Exhibition in Beijing last mo
42、nth. It took more than 10 years. For the public, it is hard to tell the difference between the Chinese rose and the other roses, even though 85 cities in China have chosen the former as their symbol flower. Many Chinese rose types, grown by people in their homes, have not been confirmed by the gover
43、nment, and there is still a long way to go.34What impressed Ye Jiaxing most when she came back to Beijing?AWide roads.BPoems about roses.CChinese roses.DGood transportation.35Which of the following is suitable for _?AA New type grownBChallenges remainCCross-pollination neededDContests continue36Acco
