A
Better known by his stage name KUN, Cai Xukun is a phenomenon, opening up the music industry in China.
Last year, after participating in the reality TV show Idol Producer, receiving the most votes from fans, the singer-songwriter rose to fame overnight. At just 21 years old, Cai has topped Chinese music charts with multiple singles.
On July 26, KUN released his newest single Young. Within just 20 seconds, it reached a million sales.
KUN wrote the song to share his understanding of youth. He mixed R&B and electronic beats (节拍) to make it more cheerful. A reviewer wrote on QQ Music, “When you listen to the song, you just seem to go back to youth again.”
The song was an early birthday present to himself which he celebrated on Aug 2. KUN also hopes that he always has the courage to pursue (追求) his love of music,
no matter what people think. “My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them.” he told the Global Times.
Indeed, KUN has written and produced mos t of his songs on his own. “I want every piece of my work to have my own spirit in it,” he told music website Soundigest, “I feel more enjoyment when I'm performing my own work.”
Although KUN loves performing onstage, when the lights go down, he prefers to fall back into his own world and darkness at night. “I always get inspired when it's quiet, late at night/' he told I-D magazine, “It's a gr eat moment for me to create new things. Sometimes, I can write songs with a melody (旋律) I heard in a dream.”
To develop his introspection (反思) and find new inspiration, KUN attends different kinds of musical performances —from festivals to opera houses. “I just like to do everything, all for my music, all for my art,” he told I-D.
With such talent and dedication to music, it seems that KUN will continue to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry.
1. What do we know about KUN's newest single?
A. It earns him a birthday present.
B. It makes people feel happy and energetic.
C. It shows how he pursues his dream.
D. It combines jazz and electronic music.
2. What does KUN usually do to get inspiration for music?
A. He goes to music shows.
B. He talks to famous singers.
C. He attends music classes.
D. He finds melodies in his dreams.
3. Which would best describe KUN?
A. Courageous and patient.
B. Talented and humorous.
C. Hardworking and creative.
D. Optimistic and outgoing.

A long time ago, and still in some countries today, the dollar and penny did not even exist. Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still the norm (常态) for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?
The biggest challenge for ancient cultures was to have a system that would allow people to exchange products with each other. However, the problem came up when one person was in need of something immediately that they didn’t have a product to trade. For example, a farmer that needed wheat only had fruit to exchange but the fruit wasn’t ready to hand over for another two months. This is what started the idea of a “common
currency”. The farmer could buy what he needed with “currency” and just as important, the value of the goods he was exchanging was standardized. He did not have to worry about giving anything in return now or later; his deal was complete. Thus “money” was born.
Over time, each country has developed its own currency and something that might cost 1,000,000 lire in one country might be 1 dollar in the US currency. Most countries also frequently use powerful political people as the “face” of their currency. The US currency is the best example of this. Can you name all the presidents that currently appear on not only paper money but also coins?
The real excitement, however, is the future of how we buy things. People have started to use debit cards (借记卡) that allow you to pay using your bank account rather than cash. That has given way to something called Mondex. Mondex allows you to “wave” your card past any special device that can read these cards. You no longer have to insert, swipe (刷) and then punch in numbers, which could cause security problems.
4. What’s the purp ose of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic of the text.
B. To explain what money was like in history.
C. To tell us that there was no money long ago.
D. To compare the difference between a cow and two pigs. 5. The farmer had an idea of using currency when ________. A. he had a product to exchange B. he had made a lot of money C. he had nothing to trade for what he needed D. he would harvest his fruit 6. Mondex is a kind of card which can ________. A. keep you safe if you are in trouble B. save you a large amount of money C. help you trade safely and conveniently D. make you happy whenever you are bored 7. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The evolution of payment.
B. The trade in ancient times.
C. The use of money in the world.
D. New ways of payment.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了纸币和硬币的由来和历史历程。

【4题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段中Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still the norm for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?可知，事实上，用一头牛换两头猪在许多文化中仍然是一种常态。

那么我们是如何使用纸和硬币的呢？以及第二段第一句The biggest challenge for ancient cultures was to have a system that would allow people to exchange products with each other.可知，古代文化面临的最大挑战是建立一个允许人们互相交换产品的系统。

由此可推知，第一段的目的是引出第二段文章主题。

故选A。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中For example, a farmer that needed wheat only had fruit to exchange but the fruit wasn’t ready to hand over for another two months. This is what started the idea of a “common currency”.可知，例如，一个需要小麦的农民只有水果可以交换，但这些水果要再过两个月才能交易。

这就是“共同货币”概念的起源。

由此可知，当农夫没有东西可以交换他所需要的东西时，他就有了使用货币的想法。

故选C。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段中Mondex allows you to “wave” your card past any special device that can read these cards. You no longer have to insert, swipe (刷) and then punch in numbers, which could cause security problems.可知，Mondex允许你通过任何特殊的设备来读取你的卡片。

你不再需要插入、滑动然后输入数字，这可能会导致安全问题。

由此可知，Mondex是一种可以帮助你安全方便地交易的借记卡。

故选C。

7题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still the norm for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?可知，事实上，用一头牛换两头猪在许多文化中仍然是一种常态。

那么我们是如何使用纸和硬币的呢？以及结合文章主要介绍了纸币和硬币的由来和历史演变过程。

故选A。

C
We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively（被动地）．We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning．
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else．Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive．Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend onitin our everyday communication with friends and co-workers．
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem．It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor（谣言）．
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone．Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person．That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game．The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it．Then the two written statements are compared．Typically, the original message has changed．
That’s what happens in daily life．The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story．Then, too, most people listen imperfectly．And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping （打上标记）it with their own personal style．Yet those who hear it think they know．This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts．
8. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______．
A. doing a medical experiment
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
9. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____．
A. active learning
B. knowledge
C. communication
D. passive learning
10. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____．
A. a message may be changed when being passed on
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
11. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Active learning is less important．
B. Passive learning may not be reliable．
C. Active learning occurs more frequently．
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars．
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了被动获得知识所存在的一个严重的问题——被告知的可能是谣言。

并用现实生活中简单的事例加以说明。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

由文章第二段前两句we achieve knowledge passively by being told by some else,……in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV of rea d newspaper or magazines is passive可知被动学习是指由别人告知所获得的知识。

故选C. A、B、D 都是主动学习。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据it 所在句可知这个代词指代的是前句所提的被动学习，句意：在日常生活中依靠被动学习并不奇怪。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

通过第四段最后一句可知，原始的含义改变了，例证了第三段提出的论点“被动学习使我们接受被告知的事物，甚至有时是谣言。

”因此A项为正确项。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

此题可用排除法。

A、C两项未提，而由最后一段第一句可知D项不正确。

由文章第三段加后几段的例证可推知B 项正确。

D
My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time­killer . But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to be lieve in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going？”
A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear－as mine was until my father's letter－is of being a disappointment.
Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them.
I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：“Don't worry; you'll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
12. We learn from the text that the author ________.
A. lost his father when he was young
B. worked hard before he read his father's letter
C. asked his father's permission to believe in himself
D. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do
13. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?
A. Children need their parents' letters.
B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.
C. His children's fear of failure held them back.
D. His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents.
14. Which of the following is TRUE of the author?
A. He got no access to success.
B. He wrote back to his father at 12.
C. He was sure his parents loved him.
D. He once asked his father about the letter.
15. The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A. describe children's thinking
B. answer some questions children have
C. stress the importance of communication
D. advise parents to encourage their children
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。

作者的父亲通过一封信告诉作者对他的爱与信任，这种爱与信任让作者在生活中取得了很大的进步。

以此鼓励父母亲给孩子鼓励与信任。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章前两段第一句My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart.可知我父亲当时44岁，他知道自己活不到45岁。

从我12岁第一次读到他的信的那天起，他的一些话就深深地印在了我的心里。

所以我们从课文中得知作者年幼时失去了父亲。

故A正确。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段最后三句They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear－as mine was until my father's letter－is of being a disappointment.可知现在的孩子很担心没有符合我们的期望值，而我却没有这样的担心，由此判断出父亲的信让我不害怕让父母亲失望。

故D项正确。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段前两句I always knew my parents loved me. 可知我很清楚地知道我的父母亲很爱我。

所以他确信他的父母爱他。

故C项正确。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

作者的父亲给他写的一封信告诉作者父亲对他的爱与信任，这种爱与信任让作者在生活中取得了很大的进步。

再根据文章最后一段their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：“Don't worry; you'll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.可知父母亲的爱和信任对孩子有很大的影响。

由此判断出作者建议父母给孩子鼓励。

故D项正确。

名演员朗读”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【20题详解】
根据后文Those who feel they do not have time to enjoy the pleasure of a good book may find audio books to be the next best thing.可知那些觉得自己没有时间享受好书带来的乐趣的人可能会发现有声读物是下一个最好的选择。
