Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 seats at the Gran Teatre Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.
The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants—which were brought in by local nurseries (苗圃) — got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.
Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”
As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience—even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.
The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.
24. What was the special part of the concert?
A. It had only 2,292 seats.
B. It made the world fall in horror.
C. It gave plants opportunities to enjoy music.
D. It welcomed audience with plants to come.
25. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants?
A. Barcelona B. Eugeno Ampudia
C. the Gran TeatreLiceu D. the Uceli Quartet
26. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with?
A. We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.
B. The healthcare workers were more important.
C. The plants should have the equal rights.
D. We did everything in a wrong way.
27. In which part of a magazine can this text be read?
A. Daily Hero. B. Teens’ Life.
C. Art Around the World. D. Animals and Plants.
C
You might be the apple of your mother’s eye, which could only be a good thing. But adults who believe they are their mother's favorite child are at an increasing risk of depression, according to a study.
“It is a huge cost for those who think they get closest to their mothers, and these children report higher depressive symptoms(症状),” said Professor Jill Suitor from Purdue University in Indiana, who led the study.
The academics used date collected from 725 adult children with an average age of 49, analyzing levels of emotional closeness, conflict, pride and disappointment.
The researchers added that previous studies had found that those who were closer to their mothers experienced less closeness with their siblings (兄弟姐妹).
Though few mothers or fathers would admit that they have a favorite son or daughter, studies have suggested they often do.
One such piece of research, which was carried out by the University of California in 2005, found that 65 percent of mothers and 70 percent of fathers showed a preference for one of their children over their siblings.
A previous study carried out by Professor Suitor and Dr Gilligan found that mothers tended to favor an adult child who was similar to them, in terms of values and beliefs.
Arabella Russell, a professor in Dorking, Surrey, said family problems, such as the siblings can not get along well with each other, can often spill over into our romantic relationships, by influencing how we relate to our partners.
28. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the second paragraph?
A. More chances to suffer from depression.
B. More time spent staying with their mothers.
C. More money spent on their growing up.
D. The disability to get along well with others.
29. Why do some mothers give more care to a certain child?
A. Because the child performs better.
B. Because they have similar attitudes.
C. Because the child is smarter.
D. Because they look similar.
30. What will happen if the family has a bad relationship?
A. The parents will be disliked.
B. The members will never make up again.
C. More members will have mental problems.
D. The children may have problems in their romantic relationships when growing up.
31. Who is the passage mainly written for?
A. The children. B. Parents
C. The researchers. D. The adult children.
D
As we all know, birds do not have teeth. However, according to a new study, this was not always the case. About 116 million years ago, the ancient birds had teeth and used them for eating, just like what they do today. The new study was conducted by a team of researchers that analyzed the remains of the tooth gene in modern birds and tried to find out why the teeth suddenly disappeared in birds during the process of evolution (进化).
Because the fossils of ancient birds, buried deeply in the earth, are either broken or not preserved well, their use in determining this evolutionary change has not been helpful. Researchers have instead focused on analyzing the DNA of modern birds. The aim of the study is to search for clues in the genes of birds that explain the loss of teeth during evolution.
In the absence of teeth, birds heavily depend on their beaks (鸟嘴) to process food. They also have an excellent ability to digest the food properly. However, at some point in history, birds used to depend on their teeth for chewing food just like us.
The earliest known clue in this regard was found in Germany in 1862. The fossil of an ancient bird found there, suggested that birds had teeth in the past. Today, scientists have confirmed that birds evolved from dinosaurs that were known for their sharp and pointed teeth.
Until now, there has been no definite explanation of the significant evolutionary change in birds. In the ongoing study, researchers analyzed the genes of modern birds that are responsible for tooth production. They searched for any kind of genetic mutation (基因突变) that may have made the gene to become inactive. The gene mutation first happened about 116 million years ago.
32. What does the underlined word "fossils" mean in Paragraph 2?
A. A kind of bodies which are still full of life now.
B. A kind of stones which were from ancient animals.
C. A kind of animals which were relatives to modern birds.
D. A kind of ancient dinosaurs which hid deeply in the earth.
33. How did the researchers do the study?
A. By studying the DNA of modern birds.
B. By studying the functions of birds' mouth.
C. By comparing the dinosaurs and the birds together.
D. By visiting Germany to get the newest information.
34. What is the researchers’ attitude to the conclusion?
A. Positive. B. Objective.
C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Ancient Birds
B. The Birds Don't Have the Teeth Now
C. The Modern Birds Are like Human
D. The Ancient Birds Have Teeth

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Studies show if you have good friends throughout your life, you will live longer. There is a lot of truth behind the common saying. You must first be one if you want some good friends. 36
Be real. People are bored with those who are always trying to be someone they are not. People are most comfortable around others who are comfortable in their own skin. 37 Even though you aren’t perfect, the way you handle your strengths and faults with humility (谦逊) and confidence will give other people permission (许可) to be real and relaxed with you, as well.
Be honest. Lies always have a way of coming to light. Try to be honest with everyone around you. Be reliable. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who lies. Also, friends will say the truth to each other, even when it’s hard.
Be a good listener. 38 Most times, people need more than good advice. They need someone to listen to them as they talk through their feelings. Ask them what’s going on in their life and how they feel.
39 Time is one of the greatest gifts we have. When we share extra time with friends, we are giving that gift back to them. No friendship can develop overnight. It takes time. A real friend will take that time.
40 When you see your friends getting into a dangerous situation involved with drugs or alcohol, or maybe even a harmful relationship, step in timely and protect your friends from the dangers you see that come their way.
A. So just be yourself.
B. Encourage your friends.
C. Care about your friends.
D. Make time for your friends.
E. Here are some tips you can refer to.
F. Don’t give up on your friends just because they are having difficulties.
G. Don’t watch television or text while your friends are sharing something with you.

Dear Lucy,
Glad to hear that you are going to take a trip to China next summer holiday. Here are some suggestions about how to learn Chinese well.
First of all, it is a useful way to listen to some simple Chinese conversations daily, which will help you a lot during your trip. Besides, you’d better make some Chinese friends around you and talk to them as often as possible in Chinese. I’m sure you can speak Chinese fluently before you come to China if you insist on doing as I tell you. Finally, I will send you a Chinese-English book which contains some common Chinese characters that you should master. Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua

W:Mark, will you take a taxi to the station?

W:Hi, Dave. It's Lisa.
M:Hi, Lisa. I haven't heard from you for quite a while.
W:Well, I've been busy. I've been working on my third book. It must come out this June.
M:Oh, I've been busy, too. I've started my own business. I operate a grocery store now.
W:I've actually heard about your grocery store. That's why I'm calling you. My cousin Linda is looking for work. Do you need someone in your store?
M:Yes. We do need one more cashier. Please ask her to call me a bit later today. I want to talk to her about the job in person.
W:OK. Thanks, Dave.

M:Mom, did you clean my bedroom this afternoon?
W:Yes. It was a big mess, so I completely cleaned it.
M:Did you see my diary book?
W:Yes. I put it in your drawer.
M:Mom, did you read my diary?
W:No, honey. I would never do that. My parents never read my diary when I was little. They taught me that children should have their privacy.
M:OK, Mom. Thank you. By the way, will supper be ready soon? I played football for two hours and I'm hungry.
W:Dad said we'd eat out tonight. So why not go to take a shower now? We'll go when your dad comes back.
M:OK. I think I can eat a horse tonight.

W:Can I help you, sir?
M:Yes. I'd like a T-shirt. These T-shirts look really fashionable. But I don't like back or blue. Do you have any red ones?
W:Sorry, but all the red ones in this style have sold out. What about the red T-shirts over there? They also look great, but they cost a bit more.
M:OK ... They really look nice. How much does this one cost?
W:50 dollars.
M:Oh, that's a bit expensive. Can I get a discount?
W:Yes. You can get a ten percent discount if you take two. But this is a small size. I don't think it fits you. You need a bigger size.
M:You're right. This is my size. I'll take two. But may I try them on first?
W:Certainly. The dressing room is over there.
M:Thanks.

W:Jason, I heard you just came back from Mexico. Did you go there for sightseeing?
M:No. I went there with my friend Danny. I studied at a Spanish language school there while Danny did some tours.
W:How is the school?
M:Well, it's a small-sized school. But its experienced friendly teachers provide high-quality teaching for students of all levels.
W:So was the study fun there?
M:Absolutely. The classes were not very challenging. We studied in the morning and enjoyed the beach in the afternoon. And in the evening we joined cultural activities.
W:What did you usually do on weekends?
M:On weekends, we explored Mayan sites and old towns.
W:Oh, it sounds like you really had a great learning experience there.
M:You can say that again. So do you speak any foreign languages?
W:No. But I plan to learn fashion design in Paris one day, so I'm considering learning French.
M:I can teach you French if you like.
W:Oh, that's great! Thanks!

W:Five months ago, I went to visit my mother. When she saw me, she said I must have put on some weight. I weighed myself at her place only to find that I weighed 67 kilograms. I had weighed 57 kilograms only about four months before. So I decided to lose weight that day.
I didn't want to go on a diet because I knew it wouldn't really work. And I didn't really have much time to exercise. I'm a doctor and my work often keeps me busy. so I needed to find a good way to help me lose weight. Now I'll tell you what I did. Instead of going on a diet, I started to eat more fruits and vegetables. I ate much less meat. I also stopped eating rice and potato. Instead I had whole grain bread. I drank lots of water and fresh juice instead of soft drinks. When I was working, I reminded myself not to sit for long hours and took a quick walk whenever I was free.
I weighed myself yesterday and I found I weighed just 59 kilograms. I've lost almost 8 kilograms! Do you want to lose weight too? Try my way!
