A. rough te y rn r to
The roots of ‘rock and roll’ go back to many different countries, many different kinds of
music and many musicians. It is difficult to say 46 how the music began.
Rock music developed mainly from black African and white European Europeans
and the African slaves(奴隶) came to America during the seventeenth century. They each had
their own music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats, a 47 singing voice, the calling of a
melody and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans, mostly English and Scots, used a stronger
melody, a less heavy beat and instruments such as guitars and horns. From the seventeenth to the
twentieth century, musicians in the 48 United States developed two new forms of music:the
blues(蓝调音乐) ,usually played by blacks, and country music, played by whites. Black musicians
sang the blues with a guitar. This music was 49 work songs: stories of troubles and pain,
with lines that were repeated several times.
A. expressed B. tradition C. continues D. effects E discovered
The word 'rock and roll’ probably came from the black churches in the South, where people
sang and danced to the strong rhythms. At the same time, whites were playing country music.
They went on with their 50 of dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories. The
singers played with string instruments such as fiddles and guitars.
During this time blues and country musicians had some 51 on each other. The birth of
the electric guitar changed country and blue music in the 1940s. The sound of the electric guitar
became the sound of rock and roll. No one thinks of early rock and roll without thinking of Elvis
Presley(埃维斯·普里斯利,美国著名摇液明星) , the ‘King of Rock and Roll’. Rock music
52 to develop, but the heart and soul of rock is the same heart and soul that Elvis 53 .

On March 10,2019,eight-year old Tani won the New York Chess Championship of his age
group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him
enter the primary school, P.S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a teacher
Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old boy asked his mother
to allow him to join the club. As she wasn’t able to afford the chess classes, she e-mailed
Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could lean it for free.
Though the chess club helps, it's largely believed that Tani's success lies in his hard work.
The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday,
Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.
Not surprisingly, Tani"s story, first reported by the New York Times, has brought him great
support from the American public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship,
Makofsky began a GofindMe activity for Tani and his family. In this way, Tani could continue his
chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money
goes on coming. But the family donates most of the money to the church and to those poor
families.
Tani has also got offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family
have politely rejected all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P.S.116.
The young boy's story also caught the eye of Bill Clinton, the 42nd US President."Tanl,
you're an example of a winning spirit - in chess and in life. I'd love to meet you. 'He said on his
Facebook.
While Tani is excited about his new life, he is ready to meet great challenges. He is busy
preparing for the next National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the
chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world's youngest chess grandmaster(最高段的
棋手) . The record has been kept for I7 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin, who won the
title at the age of 12.
69. Tani won the New York Chess Championship of his age group when he was _______.
A) seven B) eight C) twelve D) seventeen
70. Tani first learned to play chess from _______.
A) a teacher in a church
B) his mother at home
C) Makofsky, owner of a chess club
71. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _______.
A) how hard Tani works at chess
C) what Tani's mother does for him
D) a friend in Africa
B) when and where Tani practises chess
D) how the chess club helps Tani
72. After winning the New York Championship, Tani _______.
A) hoped to meet Bill Clinton
B) went to a famous private school
D) got much support from the society C) became the richest boy in New York
73. The word ‘rejected' in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A) invited B) refused C) visited D) forgave
74. From the passage we know _______.
A) Karjakin beat Tani in the National Primary Championships
B) Tanis parents gave back the money they raised to the chess club
C) it's still a big challenge for Tani to realize his dream
D) Tani has been the youngest chess grandmaster in the world now

The Digital Black Hole
Libraries around the world still hold copies of books printed hundreds of years ago. Will
e-books still be read by us in hundreds of years' time? Librarians are 75 the fact that digital
information and digital books are disappearing. Technology is always changing,and even now, we
cannot get information typed in programs we used ten or fifteen years ago. Is digital data in danger
of disappearing into a digital black hole?
Amazingly, we still have copies of the first collection of William Shakespeare's 36 plays (威廉-莎士比亚的 36 部戏剧) ,The First Folio. That's not bad for a book that's nearly 500 years
old. The Folio was 76 in 1623. Around 800 copies were printed and 234 known copies still
survive today.
Books are easy to store and we don' t use any special equipment to read them. But what about
the documents(文件) kept on your computer now? Will people be able to read them in
800,500 or even 10 years' time?Documents we stored on discs(磁盘) ten or twenty years ago
can't be 77 on our 21 st century laptops. What about all your digital photographs?Every
second, thousands of them are uploaded to social media. What will happen to them?Will they be
lost in a few years' time?
Music is in danger of being lost, too, we have to think of new ways to store it. We must copy
this music or find the best way of storing it for future generations.
When a website closes down, all the information on it is deleted. It's gone 78 . It has
disappeared into the 'digital black hole’ Organizations have understood this problem. In 2004, the
British Library started to keep important websites for future generations, just like paper-based
literature. In the event of a digital black hole, it could all disappear. The only 79 is to print it
all out and keep physical copies.
With all the amazing new digital technology available to us today, we still have to rely on the
centuries-old technology of printing. For now, printed copies are still the 80 way to store
information.
75. A) surprised at
76. A) translated
77. A) wasted
78. A) forever
B) satisfied with
B) published
B) expected
B) instead
C) responsible for
C) improved
C) opened
D) worried about
D) destroyed
D) ignored
D) again C) nowadays
79. A) contact
B) solution
B) newest
C) difficulty
C) quickest
D) decision
D) safest 80. A) cheapest

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12 分)
George Reeder, 63 , in Somerset has been given a bravery certificate(证书) for saving the life
of a baby boy.
It was a cold and windy morning. The local harbour master, George Reeder,was carrying out
his regular duties when he heard a noise that caught his attention. On the other side of the harbour,
some people were pointing and shouting, so he cycled over quickly.
Mr Reeder expected to see a dog in the sea, but instead, he saw a baby's buggy(婴儿车)in
about four metres of freezing cold water. A woman was screaming desperately- her baby boy was
strapped into the buggy and was in the water. The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea.
Mr Reeder quickly decided to do something
“I went over and saw that the buggy was upside-down…and I jumped in, ”said Mr Reeder.
He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall. Then some other people came to help. They tied a rope
to the buggy and managed to pull it out of the water and to safety.
Tanya Allen, a passer-by(who, fortunately, was a nurse), gave the baby CPR(心肺复苏术)
and was able to get him to breathe again. Mr Reeder remembered seeing a little bit of breath
coming out of the baby's mouth. 'I thought, he is all right. He's alive. Brilliant!' he said. Then an
air ambulance helicopter arrived and the baby was taken to hospital. Mr Reeder said it was
unbelievable that the baby survived. 'It's such a miracle,’ Mr Reeder added.
After he'd finished helping the baby and the helicopter had gone, Mr Reeder went home to
recover from the experience. The child's grandfather knew Mr Reeder and, a little later, went to
his house to tell him that the boy was out of danger. Mr Reeder was very relieved and happy to
hear that.
Mr Reeder said that he hadn' t really been brave. ‘It was everyone - from Tanya doing the
CPR to the helicopter pilot, ’ he said. 'I’m just glad I could help. But when Mr Reeder got the
certificate, a reporter said that what he'd done was very brave. ‘This was an extremely brave act,
as he put his own life at risk.’ The reporter has advised local people to avoid walking along the
seafront in very windy weather.

Ways to improve my online learning
Because of the coronavirus(新冠病毒),almost all of the students took online classes during
the winter vacation. But the learning effects vary from one to another. Therefore, we should find
ways to improve online learning. And I have some pieces of advice about it.
First of all, we need a peaceful environment. Online learning takes strong self-discipline(自律).For example,my mom likes to offer me snacks,which sometimes interrupts me.I have aksed
her to stop doing so. A quiet and peaceful room can help us stay focused. What's more, we should
catch every chance to communicate with our teachers online . Different from school learning , we
can't easily find our teachers to ask questions, so we have to solve all our problems during the
classes. By doing this, we can have no confusion after class.
These are my own ways to improve online learning. You can try taking my advice, and get
better results in this period of time.

A. rough te y rn r to
The roots of ‘rock and roll’ go back to many different countries, many different kinds of
music and many musicians. It is difficult to say 46 how the music began.
Rock music developed mainly from black African and white European Europeans
and the African slaves(奴隶) came to America during the seventeenth century. They each had
their own music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats, a 47 singing voice, the calling of a
melody and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans, mostly English and Scots, used a stronger
melody, a less heavy beat and instruments such as guitars and horns. From the seventeenth to the
twentieth century, musicians in the 48 United States developed two new forms of music:the
blues(蓝调音乐) ,usually played by blacks, and country music, played by whites. Black musicians
sang the blues with a guitar. This music was 49 work songs: stories of troubles and pain,
with lines that were repeated several times.
A. expressed B. tradition C. continues D. effects E discovered
The word 'rock and roll’ probably came from the black churches in the South, where people
sang and danced to the strong rhythms. At the same time, whites were playing country music.
They went on with their 50 of dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories. The
singers played with string instruments such as fiddles and guitars.
During this time blues and country musicians had some 51 on each other. The birth of
the electric guitar changed country and blue music in the 1940s. The sound of the electric guitar
became the sound of rock and roll. No one thinks of early rock and roll without thinking of Elvis
Presley(埃维斯·普里斯利,美国著名摇液明星) , the ‘King of Rock and Roll’. Rock music

On March 10,2019,eight-year old Tani won the New York Chess Championship of his age
group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him
enter the primary school, P.S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a teacher
Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old boy asked his mother
to allow him to join the club. As she wasn’t able to afford the chess classes, she e-mailed
Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could lean it for free.
Though the chess club helps, it's largely believed that Tani's success lies in his hard work.
The boy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday,
Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.
Not surprisingly, Tani"s story, first reported by the New York Times, has brought him great
support from the American public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship,
Makofsky began a GofindMe activity for Tani and his family. In this way, Tani could continue his
chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money
goes on coming. But the family donates most of the money to the church and to those poor
families.
Tani has also got offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family
have politely rejected all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P.S.116.
The young boy's story also caught the eye of Bill Clinton, the 42nd US President."Tanl,
you're an example of a winning spirit - in chess and in life. I'd love to meet you. 'He said on his
Facebook.
While Tani is excited about his new life, he is ready to meet great challenges. He is busy
preparing for the next National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the
chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world's youngest chess grandmaster(最高段的

title at the age of 12.

Libraries around the world still hold copies of books printed hundreds of years ago. Will
e-books still be read by us in hundreds of years' time? Librarians are 75 the fact that digital
information and digital books are disappearing. Technology is always changing,and even now, we
cannot get information typed in programs we used ten or fifteen years ago. Is digital data in danger
of disappearing into a digital black hole?
Amazingly, we still have copies of the first collection of William Shakespeare's 36 plays (威廉-莎士比亚的 36 部戏剧) ,The First Folio. That's not bad for a book that's nearly 500 years
old. The Folio was 76 in 1623. Around 800 copies were printed and 234 known copies still

800,500 or even 10 years' time?Documents we stored on discs(磁盘) ten or twenty years ago
can't be 77 on our 21 st century laptops. What about all your digital photographs?Every
second, thousands of them are uploaded to social media. What will happen to them?Will they be
lost in a few years' time?
Music is in danger of being lost, too, we have to think of new ways to store it. We must copy
this music or find the best way of storing it for future generations.
When a website closes down, all the information on it is deleted. It's gone 78 . It has
disappeared into the 'digital black hole’ Organizations have understood this problem. In 2004, the
British Library started to keep important websites for future generations, just like paper-based
literature. In the event of a digital black hole, it could all disappear. The only 79 is to print it
all out and keep physical copies.
With all the amazing new digital technology available to us today, we still have to rely on the
centuries-old technology of printing. For now, printed copies are still the 80 way to store
information.

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12 分)
George Reeder, 63 , in Somerset has been given a bravery certificate(证书) for saving the life
of a baby boy.
It was a cold and windy morning. The local harbour master, George Reeder,was carrying out
his regular duties when he heard a noise that caught his attention. On the other side of the harbour,
some people were pointing and shouting, so he cycled over quickly.
Mr Reeder expected to see a dog in the sea, but instead, he saw a baby's buggy(婴儿车)in
about four metres of freezing cold water. A woman was screaming desperately- her baby boy was
strapped into the buggy and was in the water. The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea.
Mr Reeder quickly decided to do something
“I went over and saw that the buggy was upside-down…and I jumped in, ”said Mr Reeder.
He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall. Then some other people came to help. They tied a rope
to the buggy and managed to pull it out of the water and to safety.
Tanya Allen, a passer-by(who, fortunately, was a nurse), gave the baby CPR(心肺复苏术)
and was able to get him to breathe again. Mr Reeder remembered seeing a little bit of breath
coming out of the baby's mouth. 'I thought, he is all right. He's alive. Brilliant!' he said. Then an
air ambulance helicopter arrived and the baby was taken to hospital. Mr Reeder said it was
unbelievable that the baby survived. 'It's such a miracle,’ Mr Reeder added.
After he'd finished helping the baby and the helicopter had gone, Mr Reeder went home to
recover from the experience. The child's grandfather knew Mr Reeder and, a little later, went to
his house to tell him that the boy was out of danger. Mr Reeder was very relieved and happy to
hear that.
Mr Reeder said that he hadn' t really been brave. ‘It was everyone - from Tanya doing the
CPR to the helicopter pilot, ’ he said. 'I’m just glad I could help. But when Mr Reeder got the
certificate, a reporter said that what he'd done was very brave. ‘This was an extremely brave act,
as he put his own life at risk.’ The reporter has advised local people to avoid walking along the
seafront in very windy weather.

Ways to improve my online learning
Because of the coronavirus(新冠病毒),almost all of the students took online classes during
the winter vacation. But the learning effects vary from one to another. Therefore, we should find
ways to improve online learning. And I have some pieces of advice about it.
First of all, we need a peaceful environment. Online learning takes strong self-discipline(自律).For example,my mom likes to offer me snacks,which sometimes interrupts me.I have aksed
her to stop doing so. A quiet and peaceful room can help us stay focused. What's more, we should
catch every chance to communicate with our teachers online . Different from school learning , we
can't easily find our teachers to ask questions, so we have to solve all our problems during the
classes. By doing this, we can have no confusion after class.
These are my own ways to improve online learning. You can try taking my advice, and get
better results in this period of time.
