S far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged mre than 60 unique cncerts. Winter temperatures in the remte muntain village can drp high belw zer. Perfrmers wear dwn jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almst everything frm drums and guitars t hrns and harps at the music festival is carved frm ice even the stage the musicians play n. The audience sits n ice chairs and benches and claps their hands t listen, bth t praise the perfrmers and t keep themselves warm when the air flws thrugh.
The musical instruments used were almst entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart. Since he created his first musical instrument ut f ice mre than a decade ag, he has already carved varius ice instruments, including vilins, vilas, timber drum sets, xylphne, duble bass, mandlin and cell. He als created his wn large wind instrument, which uses the vibratin f an ice tube t prduce sund when the air flws thrugh.
Linhart makes the different parts f the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snw t glue them tgether, with a metal supprt placed where the strings need t be. A vilin can usually be made in tw r three weeks, while larger instruments can take mre time and effrts, smetimes taking mnths t make.
An ice instrument has a clearer sund than a wden instrument. Hwever, ice instruments are mre easily brken r damaged than rdinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending n the number f peple in the audience. This als changes the temperature f the ice instruments, which in turn affects the 1 sund they prduce. Musicians need t tune their instruments frequently during perfrmances.
Althugh playing an ice instrument is nt easy, Linhart believes that ice and snw are gd materials fr making instruments. The nly dwnside is melting when the temperature is abve freezing.
4．What is special abut the music festival?
A. It attracts nly the lcals.B. It usually lasts tw mnths.
C. It has t be held in the cld.D. Its audience have t dress up.

A. Temperature.B. Shaking.C. Length.D. Opening.
6．What des Paragraph 4 mainly tell us abut ice instruments?
A. Strengths and weaknesses.B. Prductin methds.
C. Specific materials.D. Different varieties.
7．What is the purpse f the text?
A. T prmte an idea.B. T explain a thery.
C. T share an event.D. T intrduce a finding.
Biluminescence (生物发光) is a natural phenmenn wherein a chemical reactin within an rganism’s bdy prduces light. It can be fund in many places in nature — fireflies, sme mushrms — but mstly in the deep sea.
Recently, Rambuillet, a small histric French twn, has teamed up with a cmpany called Glwee t turn the city int a full-scale biluminescence labratry. The gal is t change the way in which cities use light. The cmpany uses marine (海的) bacteria harvested frm the cast f France. It makes sme f the twn’s public light up in the cl blue f biluminescence.
These biluminescent bacteria are stred in a seawater filled tube, giving the bacteria rm t flat arund and light up. The light prvided by the bacteria is part f their natural metablism, s prducing the light requires n energy ther than that which is needed t feed the rganisms. This makes it much mre envirnmentally friendly and sustainable than electric light, which cnsumes a huge amunt f nn-renewable energy.
“On the way t lighting up the wrld with biluminescence, yu have t feed the bacteria and add water as they grw. That’s nt s easy. The phenmenn will be very temperature-dependent and I dubt that it will wrk in the winter. Als, biluminescence is nt very bright cmpared t electrical lighting, thugh they have imprved the light intensity,” Carl Jhnsn, a prfessr frm Vanderbilt University said.
One ptential slutin t these issues — and ne that Glwee is lking int — is t remve the bilgical aspect f the whle prcess. Theretically, luciferase (荧光素酶) can be remved frm the bacteria and used t create light instead f the bacteria itself. Because luciferase is nn-living, it desn’t need t be fed. Creating new means f sustainable lighting is a way f being envirnmentally friendly withut plunging the earth back int darkness.
8．What d we knw abut Glwee?
A. It is an ancient labratry in France.
B. It slves pwer shrtages in castal cities.
C. It adpts biluminescence as a light surce.
D. It feeds marine rganisms t prduce chemicals.
9．What des Paragraph 3 mainly fcus n?
A. The reasns fr energy waste.
B. The advantages f the marine bacteria as light.
C. The living cnditins f the biluminescent bacteria.
D. The difficulties f string biluminescent rganisms.
10．What des Carl Jhnsn cnvey in his wrds?
A. The bacteria wrk mre efficiently under lw temperatures.
B. It will cst t much t imprve the luminescence intensity.
C. The applicatin f biluminescence enjys a bright prspect.
D. The develpment f biluminescence faces many challenges.
11．What culd be the best title f this text?
A. A Histric Twn Lit up by Nature
B. The First Zer-carbn City in the Wrld
C. A Refrm f Prducing Electricity in Cities
D. The Discvery f Luciferase in Marine Bacteria
“Yu’re s smart!” This encuraging respnse t children’s math perfrmance is cmmnly heard. Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math mtivatin and achievement ver time.
Parents wh make cmments linking their children’s perfrmance t persnal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast, parents wh link their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.
Fr the study, researchers asked mre than 500 parents t reprt n hw they respnded t their children’s math perfrmance and their math beliefs and gals. Children were assessed in tw waves acrss a year t measure their math mtivatin and achievement.
The results shw that parents wh view math ability as changeable are mre likely t give prcess respnses fcused n their children’s strategy use and effrts rather than their intelligence r ther persnal characteristics. In cntrast, parents wh believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be cnstructive give mre persn respnses. Parents with high expectatins fr their children give a cmbinatin f bth respnses. While respnses highlighting strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement utcmes, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal characteristics — in particular, related t failure — are mre likely t avid harder math prblems, exhibit higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.
Because persn respnses predict pr math adjustment in children ver time, researchers suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme. Anther recmmendatin fr parents is t think abut their wn beliefs and gals fr their kids and examine hw these might lead them t respnd in persn r prcess ways. Simply telling parents t avid talking abut math ability may nt be enugh. Fcusing less n hw children perfrm and mre n their strategy and enjyment f math might be a mre effective way t enhance mtivatin.
12．Which f the fllwing is an example f prcess respnse?
A. Yu are a lucky dg.B. Running is in yur bld.
C. What wrks well fr yur study?D. Why are yu such a math genius?
13．What can be inferred frm the study results?
A. Parents prefer t give mre prcess respnses.
B. Children are mre likely t be affected by math anxiety.
C. Prcess respnses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Persn respnses can discurage children frm learning math.
14．What d researchers advise parents t d?
A. Restrict persn respnses.B. Defend their wn beliefs.
C. Stress children’s perfrmance.D. Ignre children’s math prblems.
15．Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Strategy Children Adpt t Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk t Children n Math Matters
C. Respnses t Enhance Children’s Math Perfrmance
D. Suggestins fr Parents t Teach Their Children Math

Days later, I passed ur annuncement bard, which listed items fr sale, varius jbs, and at the bttm, smene was ffering pian lessns.
My vice trembled (颤抖) when I called the number the next day. When the tutr named Meldy learned that I was the student, she hesitated. She had never taught a busy adult learner, but she was willing t try if I was determined t learn.
When my first lessn ended as arranged, Meldy pened the dr t her next student, a six-year-ld by full f enthusiasm. Meldy intrduced us and tld me his name was Jeff. “I’m ging t learn t play the pian,” he tld me. N dubts r insecurities gt in the by’s way. His enthusiasm struck me, and n my way hme, I whispered, “I’m ging t learn t play the pian.”
Hwever, I wasn’t a star pupil. I didn’t have instant recall n hw t read music. Getting bth hands t cperate was difficult and then I was intrduced t the pedal (踏板). Maybe I had been just t psychlgically stressed ut. Cnsequently, Meldy blamed me fr nt practicing enugh. Therefre, I had t lk at my tight schedule t see where I culd make time t imprve myself.
The fllwing week, Meldy tld me I wuld need t participate in the December perfrmance and that I had t play by memry. I wuld have ne mnth t memrize tw pieces and I hadn’t even seen them yet!

4．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“S far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged mre than 60 unique cncerts. Winter temperatures in the remte muntain village can drp high belw zer. Perfrmers wear dwn jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almst everything frm drums and guitars t hrns and harps at the music festival is carved frm ice even the stage the musicians play n. (今年冬天，阿尔卑斯山的一家剧院上演了60多场独特的音乐会。在这个偏远的山村，冬天的气温可能会降到零度以下。表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器。事实上，音乐节上从鼓、吉他到喇叭、竖琴，几乎所有的东西都是用冰雕刻的，即使是音乐家们演奏的舞台)”可知，音乐节的特别之处是必须在寒冷的地方举行。故选C。
5．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He als created his wn large wind instrument, which uses the vibratin f an ice tube t prduce sund when the air flws thrugh.(他还创造了自己的大型管乐器，当空气流过时，它利用冰管的vibratin产生声音)”可知，which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词wind instrument，结合常识，乐器发声需要利用冰管的振动在空气流过时发出声音。故划线词意思是“震动”。故选B。
6．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第四段“An ice instrument has a clearer sund than a wden instrument. Hwever, ice instruments are mre easily brken r damaged than rdinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending n the number f peple in the audience. This als changes the temperature f the ice instruments, which in turn affects the 1 sund they prduce. Musicians need t tune their instruments frequently during perfrmances.(冰制乐器比木制乐器声音更清晰。然而，冰乐器比普通乐器更容易破碎或损坏。冰剧院里的温度会随着观众人数的变化而变化。这也会改变冰乐器的温度，进而影响它们发出的声音。音乐家在演出时需要经常调音)”可知，第4段主要告诉我们关于冰乐器的优点和缺点。故选A。
7．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“S far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged mre than 60 unique cncerts. Winter temperatures in the remte muntain village can drp high belw zer. Perfrmers wear dwn jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almst everything frm drums and guitars t hrns and harps at the music festival is carved frm ice even the stage the musicians play n. (今年冬天，阿尔卑斯山的一家剧院上演了60多场独特的音乐会。在这个偏远的山村，冬天的气温可能会降到零度以下。表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器。事实上，音乐节上从鼓、吉他到喇叭、竖琴，几乎所有的东西都是用冰雕刻的，即使是音乐家们演奏的舞台)”结合文章主要介绍了阿尔卑斯山举行的特别音乐节，表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器，音乐节上几乎所有的东西，从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴，甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台，都是用冰雕刻而成的。可推知，文章的目的是分享一个活动。故选C。
8．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Recently, Rambuillet, a small histric French twn, has teamed up with a cmpany called Glwee t turn the city int a full-scale biluminescence labratry. The gal is t change the way in which cities use light. The cmpany uses marine (海的) bacteria harvested frm the cast f France. It makes sme f the twn’s public light up in the cl blue f biluminescence.(最近, 法国历史悠久的小城朗布耶与一家名为Glwee的公司合作, 将这座城市变成一个全面的生物发光实验室。其目标是改变城市使用光线的方式。该公司使用的是来自法国海岸的海洋细菌。它让小镇上的一些公众在生物发光的冷蓝色中发光。)”可知, 关于Glwee这个公司我们了解到的是, 它主要研究采用生物发光作为光源。故选C项。
9．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The light prvided by the bacteria is part f their natural metablism, s prducing the light requires n energy ther than that which is needed t feed the rganisms. This makes it much mre envirnmentally friendly and sustainable than electric light, which cnsumes a huge amunt f nn-renewable energy.(细菌提供的光是它们自然新陈代谢的一部分, 所以产生光不需要能量, 只需要生物体所需的能量。这使得它比消耗大量不可再生能源的电灯更加环保和可持续。)”可知, 第三段主要讲得是海洋细菌作为光源的优点。故选B项。
10．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“On the way t lighting up the wrld with biluminescence, yu have t feed the bacteria and add water as they grw. That’s nt s easy. The phenmenn will be very temperature-dependent and I dubt that it will wrk in the winter. Als, biluminescence is nt very bright cmpared t electrical lighting, thugh they have imprved the light intensity(在用生物发光照亮世界的路上, 你必须给细菌喂食, 并在它们生长的过程中加水。这可不容易。这种现象将非常依赖于温度, 我怀疑它在冬天会起作用。此外, 生物发光与电照明相比不是很亮, 尽管它们提高了光强度)”可以推知, 生物发光的发展面临着许多挑战。故选D项。
11．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知, 文章主要介绍了法国历史悠久的小城朗布耶与一家名为Glwee的公司合作, 利用生物发光技术将这座城市变成一个全面的生物发光实验室, 其目标是改变城市使用光线的方式, 所以A选项“大自然点亮的历史小镇”适合用作文章标题。故选A项。
12．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“Parents wh make cmments linking their children’s perfrmance t persnal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred t as persn respnses. In cntrast, parents wh link their children’s actins, such as effrts r strategy use, t their perfrmance are using prcess respnses.(将孩子的表现与智力等个人特征联系起来的父母使用的是所谓的‘个人反应’。相比之下，将孩子的行为(如努力或策略的使用)与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是‘过程反应’)”可知，使用“过程反应”的父母，将孩子的行为（如努力或策略的使用）与他们的表现联系起来，而C项“What wrks well fr yur study?（什么对你的学习有帮助?）”谈论的是孩子的学习策略，属于“过程反应”。故选C项。
13．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“Recently, a new study, cnducted by the University f Gergia, fund that encuraging children with respnses related t their persnal characteristics r inbrn abilities might weaken their math mtivatin and achievement ver time.(最近，佐治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现，随着时间的推移，用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩)”和第四段最后一句“While respnses highlighting strategy and effrts are nt related t any achievement utcmes, children wh receive mre respnses abut their persnal characteristics — in particular, related t failure — are mre likely t avid harder math prblems, exhibit higher levels f math anxiety, and scre lwer n math achievement tests.(虽然强调策略和努力的反应与任何成绩结果无关，但收到更多关于个人特征—特别是与失败有关—反应的孩子，更有可能避免更难的数学问题，表现出更高水平的数学焦虑，在数学成绩测试中得分更低)”可知，“个人反应”会阻碍孩子学习数学。故选D项。
14．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句话“Because persn respnses predict pr math adjustment in children ver time, researchers suggest parents limit this type f respnses at hme.(由于“个人反应”预示着随着时间的推移，孩子的数学适应能力会下降，研究人员建议家长在家里限制这种类型的反应)”可知，研究人员建议家长在家里限制“个人反映”这种类型的反应。故选A项。
