After 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 201 8, this year's concert marked the 6th time that Riccardo Muti, whose close musical partnershipwith the Vienna Philharmonic has now extended about 50 years, had conducted the prestigious concert event.The 2021 New Year's Concert was broadcast in over 90 countries and followed by millions of television viewers around the world. The 2021 New Year's Concert took place without an audience.Due to ongoing high rates of infection, the Austrian Federal Government had decided that no concerts could be performed before audiences until January 6, 2021. Unfortunately, it also affected the Preview Performance on December 30, 2020, at 11 AM; the New Year's Eve Concert on December 31, 2020, at7:30 PM; and the New Year's Concert on January 1, 2021, at 11:15 AM. We therefore refunded (iE#) all paid tickets and kindly asked the ticket holders to contact us by e-mail.Riccardo Muti has conducted the most important orchestras in the world, including the Vienna Philharmonic, an orchestra to which he is linked by particularly close and important ties, and with which he has appeared in Vienna and around the world since 1971.The first New Year's Concert took place during the darkest chapter of the history of Austria and that of the Vienna Philharmonic. On January 1, 1941, a Philharmonic matinee entitled Johann Strauss Concert" was performed. Clemens Krauss conducted the concerts. In the years 1946 and 1947, Josef Krips (1902-1974) replaced Krauss, who returned in 1948 and conducted seven more New Year's Concerts until 1954.With the unexpected death of Clemens Krauss on May 16, 1954, the orchestra decided, shortly before January 1, 1955, to entrust (委托) Willi Boskovsky with the artistic direction of the New Year's Concerts.1.

Understanding this process ofregeneration would help with the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns.This week, a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, have announced a colorful new technique that should enhance such understanding. They call it " Skinbow"Skinbows themselves are an adaptation of an approach called. Brainbow" , which was invented almost a decade ago, and is used to label nerve cells different colors. Brainbow technology permits someone with an appropriate microscope to trace the connections that lots of individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of a mouse.Dr. Poss's experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: a zebra fish. Skinbow or Brainbow, the basic procedure is the same. Genetie engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes ( 基因组) contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet rays (紫外线). These genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue type -brain for Brainbows, skin for Skinbows. In the case of Skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr .Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 70 ~ 80 such colors. Moreover, unlike Brainbow technology , which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a Skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury. When they cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin hadregrown completely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is likely to produce useful insights into the process of regeneration- -not to mention the possibility of a nice little sideline (副业) in designing aquaria (水族管).1. Which of the following best explains ." slough off" underlined in Paragraph 1?A. Get rid of.B. Take advantage of.C. Adapt to.D. Rule out.2. What can we know about the Brainbow according to Paragraph 2?A.It is a colorful nerve cell.B. It was invented to trace the Skinbow.C. It can speed up the adaptation of the Skinbow.D. It helps detect connections between cells.3. Where do the Skinbow and the Brainbow differ?A. In their principles.B. In their complexity.C. In their continuity in observation.D. In their practicality in reality.4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The process of skin regeneration.B. The limitations of the Skinbow.C. The prediction of a promising career.D. The possible applications of the Skinbow.D（2021 .福建恒一教育）We've long considered confusion that occurs when we don't understand something as a shortcoming.You re probably ОK. In fact, according to a new study, it isn't so much about being confused, but how we respond to that feeling matters. The study suggests some people make confusion work for them-making them learn more about something they don' t originally understand. Others, on the other hand, react to confusion by turning away from the subject completely. It all comes down to how people respond to the feelings of uncertainty and puzzlement.We have been investigating links between emotions and learning for almost a decade, and find that confusion can be beneficial to learning if appropriately regulated because it can cause learners to process the material more deeply in order to clear their confusion," explains lead author Sidney D'Mello.To test their theory, researchers invited some people to learn sessions that involved a complex idea. Then they intentionally increased the confusion. Interestingly, people who had reported higher rates of confusion were also better able to grasp the subject -and identify the scientific contradictions. Essentially, they had a positive reaction to confusion, using it as a motivation to wrap their heads around a subject. For them, confusion was a chance to learn something new.They proved what scientist Nick Hobson describes as а high degree of openness. Openness is associated with the experience of interest, absorption and wonderment," he says. Individuals higher in openness are fascinated by complex situations. It is characterized by a greater tolerance of uncertainty.' However, D'Mello cautions against deliberately sowing confusion in the context of learning. People already struggling to understand a concept--especially one that they' re under pressure to understand--may not benefit from the added confusion. Instead, confusion may work best for people who are actually looking for a challenge and don't face consequences of taking a chance to learn something new. Those would be the intellectual risk- takers who are encouraged, rather than discouraged by the feelings of confusion.1. How do some people benefit from confusion?A. They may find their shortcomings of learning.В. They may seek a solution quickly.C. They may identify their uncertain feelings.D. They may understand the subject better.2. What does Nick think of people higher in openness?A. They tolerate ambiguous situations more.B. They respond to confusion negatively.C. They are easy to get confused a lot.D. They feel at a loss for complex situations.3. What does D'Mello remind people not to do?A. Take a risk to try something new.B. Add confusion to learning on purpose.C. Face consequences of looking for a challenge.D. Risk being discouraged by confusion.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Confusion Affects Your CharacterB. What Confusion Means to YouC. Why Confusion May Be Good for YouD. Where Confusion Comes from二、七选五阅读（2021 浙江高考）You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. _____1____It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. ____2____Any small interruption -a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:____3____ So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ____4____ This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.____5____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A. Why does this always seem to happen to you?B. So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?C. Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.【答案】A篇[分析]本文是一篇应用文。

A great suggestion! Superior was and still is a monster of a box, designed with the mad scientist music producer in mind. When the time came around to actually realize the idea of a smaller drum sampler we decided to take the concept one step further. So, EZdrummer is a Superior LE and at the same time it isn’t. The experience gained from developing Superior Drummer is all there: sounds recorded and produced in partnership with the best in the business, microphone control, humanizing features, and TPC (T oontrack Percussive Compression) keeps RAM and disc space requirements to a minimum.We’ve also decided to take user friendliness above and beyond:In it’s most basic mode of operation, EZdrummer can yield a great drum track in just a few clicks. The microphone levels are all pre-set. Using the built in MIDI features you can create a drum sequence from a choice of thousands MIDI files by simply opening EZdrummer, selecting the file of your choice, and dragging it into your host.The internal mixer allows EZdrummer to work in both stereo and multitrack mode without the user having to step out of one version of the plug-in and into another. It also gives you control of levels between mics and ambience and overhead microphone leakage. Bringing all this to the user is an interface that we think speaks for itself.So who’s EZdrummer for? We think everyone. Combining quintessential features and advanced handling as well as low system requirements, EZdrummer is an entry level product but also ideal for the pros who need to be mobile. With EZdrummer we’ve taken the first step into the next generation of acoustic drum samplers. The journey starts here.Andreas Sundgren, T oontrack development teamEZdrummer6EZdrummer71.2 Recording NotesIn 2005 T oontrack Music was contacted by Pat Thrall with a request to record drums for the Superior Drummer software engine at the New Y ork studio where Pat had his professional home. We all knew Pats work (with Glenn Hughes, Black Crowes, etc) and jumped at the opportunity to work with one of our hero.We became even more excited when Pat enrolled Neil Dorfsman, another long-time hero of ours, to add his talents, passion, and experience to the recordings. Neil has been around since the 70s recording and producing artists like Kiss (oh the stories...), Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Sting etc. Enough said?Pat also brought along renowned live and session drummer Nir Z, whose credits include such diverse acts as Genesis and Joss Stone, to play his GMS drums for the sessions. The team was rounded out by Mattias Eklund and Henrik Kjellberg from T oontrack Music, and together they performed a number of test recordings throughout 2005.The sounds for EZdrummer were finally recorded and produced at Avatar Studios New Y ork (formerly known as Power Station) on the 1st of October, 2005, by PatThrall, Neil Dorfsman, and Nir Z. Needless to say the recordings ended up every bit as great (and better) as expected.The timeless quality of the sound, the consistency of the playing and recording, and the legendary atmosphere from a studio that has seen many of the greats create their masterpieces within its walls, all make for a worthy start of the next generation of Toontrack Acoustic Drum samplers.EZdrummer82 - INSTALLATION 2.1 EZdrummer at a glancedfhEZdrummer is a state-of-the-art sample player powering a collection of stunning drum sounds played by a top notch session drummer and world class producers at Avatar Studios, New Y ork:• 7500 sound files at 16-bit / 44.1kHz equivalent to 5Gb of uncompressed wav files • Instant access to a large MIDI library with drag’n’drop functionality• Possibility for the user to add their own MIDI files to the library• Internal mixer with stereo and multitrack routing into the host• Preset mix modes for quick sound changes• Interface visualizes the drums and allows quick audition of the kit• Automatically combines drum hit randomizing and non-cycling• Controls for instant changes to MIDI data, extending groove context relevance • Operates in General MIDI and extend beyond the limits imposed by the standard • Direct manual, tutorial and internet help desk access from the program interface • First EZX expansion pack included with EZdrummer2.2 System Requirements• 1,5Gb free hard disc space, DVD drive• Windows XP , PIII/Athlon 1,8GHz with 512 Mb of Ram• Mac OS X 10.4, G4 1GHz with 512 Mb of Ram• Display capable of 800x600• A software sequencer or virtual instrument host• (recommended) sound card with ASIO or CoreAudio driver2.3 Installing EZdrummer for WindowsRun the EZdrummer Installer and optional EZX Cocktail Installer located in the \Install\ folder of the DVD and follow instructions.The plugin will be installed by default in the appropriate location for the currently installed host program. Y ou should however verify that this is the case and perform a custom install to change the destination target if this is not adequate for your host program (see your host manual for details).The sounds themselves, as well as various resources, are installed by default in:C:\Program Files\T oontrack\EZdrummer\Sounds\. Y ou may choose to install in a different location but samples cannot be relocated at a later stage.T o uninstall simply re-run the installer located on the media that came with thisproduct or use your operating system’s removal facility.EZdrummer92.4 Installing EZdrummer for MacintoshRun the EZdrummer Installer and optional EZX Cocktail Installerlocated in the /Install/ folder of the DVD and follow instructions. Please ensure you are logged in as an administrator before proceeding.The plugin will be installed in the default location for your operating system and should not be moved to remain available to all users and programs. The sounds themselves are installed in /Library/Application Support/EZdrummer/Sounds/ and cannot be relocated. Doing so will render the program unusable.T o uninstall simply run the EZdrummer Uninstaller provided and select thecomponents you wish to remove (it is possible to uninstall EZX Cocktail only using the appropriate Uninstaller).2.5 Authorizing EZdrummer on your computerOn first launching EZdrummer you will be presented with the authorization screen. Simply follow the instructions and, if this is your first T oontrack product, create a new user account at /register/1) Key in the Computer ID exactly as shown in the interface and serial number found on the DVD packaging.

T ype in or paste the code if your application supports it.3) Y ou will be greeted with a congratulation message once EZdrummer has been authorized successfully.**********************************with your Computer ID and serial number if the authorization process fails for whatever reason.EZdrummer 103 - Quick Start GuideUsing EZdrummer is quite simple, and in this tutorial we’ll show you how to perform the most common operations. By the time you finish, you’ll know how to create a killer drum track in no time.Before you start you should ensure that your system is configured for basic audio and MIDI playback. Should you be unable to complete this tutorial, check first that your program is correctly set up and that you are able to audition other virtual instruments.3.1 Loading a KitWhen the plugin is first started the default drumcounter emphasized in the above screenshot will inform you of how much memory the kit uses.A visual representation will occupy the greatest part of theinterface of EZdrummer. If you want to hear what thedrums sound like simply click on them in the interface.If you would like to select a different drum at a certainposition (or the whole kit) simply click the constructionbar on each part of the kit and select from the menu thatcomes up:3.2 Browsing the MIDI Librarydries out? Stay in this window! All the levels between the drums in the kit are preset and the sounds are already mixed so you don’t have to worry about that... just concentrate on the music.Click the ‘Open Grooves’ button. The browser will open, allowing you to access the MIDI files that come with EZdrummer. Even without the optional expansion packs, EZdrummer ships with thousands of MIDI files to choose from.Finding the MIDI groove you want for your song could not be any easier: simply choose the overall style... let’s try the POP/ROCK library, and choose a “POP/ROCK Straight” feel in 4/4 time. Finally, select one of the Playing Variations.player section and listen to the loop. Note the beat indicator underneath the groove description.Change of tempos in your sequencer will automatically be reflected in EZdrummer’s. Instant access to a ‘double time’ or ‘half time’ variation of the groove is also available at the push of a button:example, if the playing is too aggressive for that laid back bridge youhad in mind), you can effortlessly refine the dynamics, from soft tohard at the twist of a knob using the velocity sweep control.3 through the grooves with the up/down navigationarrows. EZdrummer will seamlessly play the pat-terns as you browse through them.Once you have found the right groove to lift yoursong, simply drag and drop the MIDI file to yoursequencer right where it belongs. EZ! And there isno reason to stop there:Combine different patterns and join them together with amazing fills. We reckon you will have built your first track before dinner’s ready... how many times did that happen last year?Once you’ve dragged some MIDI files to a track, your sequencer will replay the grooves in the order they were placed. Of course, EZdrummer will synchronize to your sequencer’s master tempo, so you can change your mind and speed the song up, or slow it down, at any time.When EZdrummer is receiving MIDI information from the host, as aresult of playing back a sequence or playing an external MIDI controller,the activity LED will flash to confirm that the link is working properly.Still if you prefer your track machine-like we won’t stop you!EZdrummer3.4 Mixing the Kittrack, EZdrummer includes an internal mixer, similar tohardware you’ve probably used.Just like a real mixer you use the faders to set the levels of the different drums in the mix. Horizontal sliders at the top adjust the placement of the instruments. The global control to the left of the channel strips toggle between audience and drummer’s perspective, the latter being the default.Also like with a hardware mixer, you can mute one of the tracks to listen to a subset of the drums making up the kit. Or you can solo any drum, to hear it on its own.Y ou control how much of the room you want to be part of your drum track withthe fader farthest to the right. T urning the leakage in the snare bottom or overhead microphones OFF is also possible for that extra ‘dry’ sound.Y ou can also group the channels to slide, mute or ‘solo’ as a group.For example, to adjust the volume of all the toms at the sametime, multi-select their channels by clicking them one after theother. Click on any channel once more to deselect it.If you don’t want to mix the whole kit from scratch, there are preset mixers to change the overall character of your drum kit. Just choose one of the mixer configurations in the PRESETS pull-down menu in the upper left corner of the interface. Once you are happy with your mix, you can save a snapshot for use in your other projects. Simply select ‘Save As’ from the pull down menu and type a suitable description.4 - Additional Functionality4.1 Advanced RoutingEZdrummer routes into your host on one stereo track by default.Y ou can however route any instrument or microphone toany of the 8 available stereo tracks mapped to EZdrummer’soutputs. This will allow you to benefit from the maximumflexibility that your sequencer has to offer.T o perform the above click one of the mixer tracks andselect multichannel. This will select the most appropriaterouting for the kit. Of course your host has to be set upaccordingly to capture these outputs (see your application’smanual for details).Y ou are not limited to this configuration howeverand are free to assign drums to the track of yourchoosing by selecting the appropriate entry in thepull menu for each of the indivual channels.An alternative is to start in stereo mode andseparate a single instrument from the mix.As an exercise, go back to the stereo mode andthen try sending the kick to track 2:The kick will appear on track 2, the rest of the kitremaining on track 1, the default stereo pair.4.2 Help MenuThe help menu [?] gives you quick access to additional resources:- T ool Tips: turn the contextual tips ON or OFF- Visual Hits: turn the drum animation ON or OFF- PDF Manual: opens this manual in your PDF viewer application- Flash T utorial: a short walkthrough of EZdrummer- Online Support: opens the support website in the default browser- User MIDI folder: opens the MIDI folder reserved for your own MIDIIn addition specific resources, such as keyboard layout and recording notes will be available in product specific subfolders.4.3 Adding MIDI Grooves to the BrowserFuture expansion packs will of course ship with more MIDI grooves that are relevant to the genres they aim to address. Y ou may however extend and customize the library at any time with 3rd party MIDI packs or your own.The process is very straightforward: selecting the ‘User MIDI folder’ from the Help Menu will automatically open the relevant folder on your Desktop. Simply place your MIDI files in that location, and organize them in subfolders labelled as you see fit.On a related subject, note that grooves included in EZdrummer are not GM compliant and will not play back properly on GM devices. The hi-hat programming in particular makes use of the full extent of EZdrummer available articulations.4.4 Key MappingEZdrummer is a flexible tool that will not only allow Array you to build your drum track using the includedMIDI grooves library but also create patterns andfills from scratch in your sequencer.The layout on the left details the instruments andtechniques available for triggering from an externalMIDI controller or pencil in in your application‘piano roll’.Note that the map does extend below 20 and above65. These notes are reserved for use with futureEZX-s and should not be used with the defaultRock/Pop kit.If GM compatibility is important to you you shouldalways program the map between C1 and C3 only.This is to ensure playback on GM compatible devicesis accurate (cymbal chokes notwithstanding).Specificallly, all notes in this range are GM compliantswith the following exceptions: 39, 54, 58, 60.4.5 Expanding EZdrummerThey contain additional MIDI files toThe sounds are tweaked with specificThe first EZXT o access the expansion packs already installed on yourcomputer click the EZX display in the main window.When loading an EZX, an interactive picture of the drumkit contained in that expansion will appear in the main window of EZdrummer, giving instant access to all the prelistening and construction features specific to that particular expansion.Several EZX-s are planned or already in the works and will be announced shortly at . For now enjoy EZdrummer and your first EZX, and please let us know what expansion packs you would like to see released in the future.

Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty, and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we're very excited to have gotten it because it's something I've wanted for a long time,”she says.“A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.”Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don't take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,“When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”She learned that from her mom, who sounds like a smart lady! Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: Hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic——but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.“There’s not much diversity(多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,”says Ava.“I would also love to see more kids in this industry.There aren't many other teenagers around, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others who hope to lead the pet industry.”4．What can we learn about Ava’s Pet Palace from the first two paragraphs?A．It is a palace for pets.B．It is very popular among kids.C．It sells organic pet food.D．It designs stamps for customers.5．What does“hit a bump in the road”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Drive on a stone road.B．Escape a setback in business.C．Face a challenging situation.D．Encounter an unexpected opportunity. 6．What can be inferred about Ava’s future goals?A．She plans to enlarge her business in other industries.B．She wants to employ more teenagers in her company.C．She intends to be a leading figure in the pet industry.D．She hopes to break new ground in the pet treats industry.7．Which of the following best describes Ava?A．Patient and hard-working.B．Determined and creative.C．Confident and humorous.D．Friendly and outgoing.A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then, is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001.The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying.Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings, directed the music video for Norw and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new Al audio restoration (音频修复) technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time.Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event.”Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work, “posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by The Beatles’ musical style.Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. ”Now and Then is not terrible. But honestly, it’s kind of boring, “Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post.The Times in the UK said the song showed Al being used to its best advantage.8．Why was the song “Now and Then” not released at first?A．The song was not completed.B．The sound quality was not good enough.C．The band members did not like the song.D．The song was let out before its officialrelease.9．How did Peter Jackson contribute to the song?A．He wrote and recorded the song.B．He invented new audio restoration technology.C．He restored the band members’ sound using AI.D．He played the guitar on the recording.10．What is the attitude of The Times towards the release of Now and Then?A．Supportive.B．Curious.C．Unfavourable.D．Unclear. 11．What is the best title of the text?A．The Beatles Remains Second to Elvis PresleyB．Beatles Fans Welcome the New Song of The BeatlesC．Peter Jnckson Directed the Music Video for The BeatlesD．The Beatles Released a New Song with the Help of AlPsychologists tell us our self-image defines(限定) what we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up belief about ourselves: Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. As self-image plays a great role in our growth, gaining a proper understanding of it and even making changes to it can hold significant meaning for our development.Changing our self-image is possible: Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentally picturing ourselves performing well at some tasks. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, it's suggested that we replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine themselves doing well. For example, subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts(飞镖) at a bull's-eye on a target Over a period of weeks, their dart game improved.The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real.The aim is to find the real self and to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. We're usually better than we think we are.Another important part of changing self-image is to not think about past mistakes. Don't let failures do harm. It is all right to make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not dwell on(纠结于)them. Sometimes we keep remembering our failures or mistakes and feel guilty or embarrassed about them, and then we develop a fear.It is important to have realistic expectations of ourselves. Some of our dissatisfaction might come from expecting too much of ourselves. If our goal is to reach perfection, we are doomed(注定要失败的)from the start.12．Which situation agrees with the idea of the passage?A．To win a speech contest, Tina pictures herself speaking more confidently.B．To get along with her classmates, Doris always humbles(使卑微)herself.C．To become a star player, Alex repeatedly plays back his mistakes in his mind.D．To be better than his classmates, Joe sets an unrealistic goal.13．What is the purpose of paragraph 3?A．To clarify(澄清)the key to changing self-image.B．To confirm(确认)the effect of changing self-imageC．To propose a new view on changing self-image.D．To stress the importance of changing self-image.14．According to the author, how should we regard our past mistakes?A．They are tools for overcoming fear.B．They are warnings for future.C．They are part of our growth.D．They are barriers to our development. 15．What is the main idea that the author conveys in the passage?A．Overcoming fear through past mistakes.B．Building a realistic self-image through proper imagination.C．The importance of humility(谦卑)in personal growth.D．Setting realistic goals for personal development.Straw Weaving(草编)What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? 16 However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.The Origin of Straw Weaving17 .The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty.The Process of Straw WeavingStraw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch (素描)the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. 18 .Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work. and the hardest part is to make it lifelike19In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside. But due to the impact of industrialization. manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says.The Future of Straw WeavingFrom her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “ 20 ,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.A．The Current Situation of Straw WeavingB．Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the workC．Craftspeople should try their best efforts to promote productsD．It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008E．Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s fieldF．The earliest straw-weaving products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins G．Craftspeople should be responsive and creative and constantly update their products二、完形填空I was shocked when my socially awkward sister, who had suffered from Asperger Syndrome (阿斯伯格综合症), decided to sing in front of the school.

Explorations-All Souls Waltz by Nakai / Kater
The Making of a Nation-Hail Columbia by Phylo/Hopkinson
Scott Joplin, the "King of Ragtime Composers", in 1904 was near the peak of his career when his young bride, Freddie Alexander of Little Rock, Arkansas died just 2 months after their marriage. The existance of Freddie was almost forgotten. None of Joplin's acquaintances who had been interviewed for eariler biographies had ever referred to her. Edward A. Berlin in his recently published Joplin biography, "King of Ragtime" devotes an entire chapter to Freddie. His meticulous research proves her existence and brings to light several facts about her. I quote: "It is strange that none of Joplin's associates who were interviewed in later years, including his widow Lottie and his friends Arthur Marshall and Sam Patterson, mentioned Freddie. Perhaps the brevity of the marriage made it insignificant in the minds of his friends.But Freddie was not insignificantto Joplin, for some years later he was to memorialize her in his most ambitious work [his opera "Treemonisha"]".
