A grwing number f families in China are able t affrd a pian and lessns fr their children. By2016, the number f children learning pian in China exceeded 30 millin and the number has risen by 10percent every year since. The pian used t be a rare freign imprt in China; nw fur in five are made here. Much f this can be traced back t the tiny Chinese island f Gulangyu.
After the first pium war in 1842, freign pwers frced the emperr t permit their residents t live in several “treaty prts”. One f thse was Xiamen. Gulangyu, which lies just a five-minute ferry ride ffshre, was an internatinal settlement. The freign residents ppularised the pian as an everyday amusement. There was sn hardly a family n the island that did nt hst r g t hear an evening recital (演奏会).
Fr decades the island has achieved lngstanding fame: the largest number f pians per persn in China. The result was a stream f utstanding musicians. The island’s mst celebrated musician is YinChengzng. In 1969 he arranged an earlier revlutinary cantata int the “Yellw River Pian Cncert”. It remains China’s mst famus rchestral cmpsitin.
Where nce Western classical music flwed int China, pianists and their wrks are puring ut. Of the 50 millin children learning the instrument wrldwide, as many as 40 millin may be Chinese. The gvernment lavishes mney n rchestras, which nw number ver 80, and new cncert halls. Demanding parents and cl yung things fill them t hear the mst talented pianists-amng whm, in recent decades, have been Lang Lang, Li Yundi and Yuja Wang-play sme beautifully judged Bach r fiendishly hard Rachmaninv. Althugh reprts shw that abut 10 percent f learners brn in the 1990s rarely tuch the instrument after they have finished all the exams fr amateur learners, mst have made it part f their life.
24. What has the island f Gulangyu been knwn fr?

【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了六年前作者在飞机上与Helga的一次谈话一直留在他心中，在此谈话影响下，他开始了现在的事业——通过演讲推广善行。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据前四段可知,作者在飞机上一开始打算睡一会儿，但是Helga主动和他聊天，作者和她聊到自己曾经创建的组织时，Helga 说"There is nthing mre imprtant in the wrld than kindness"，而作者此时was curius abut what she had said(对她的话很好奇)，由此可见，作者对Helga的故事很感兴趣。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五、六、七、八段可知，Helga 在回家路上没有人停下来去询问和关心她，再根据第九段中Helga说的"It was n that day that I realized kindness isn't nrmal"，可知在她意识到了善行在世界上并不是很常见，因此更意识到善行的宝贵。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后七段内容可知，作者一直记着Helga的话，并且努力想要使善行变得更常见。作者通过到各地学校做演讲，让学生、老师和家长们意识到我们对善行的需要，并给年轻人提供一些去实践善行的方法。而作者自己也认为自己的工作非常"satisfying (令人满意的)"。故选D。
【31题详解】
写作目的题。文章先从六年前作者在飞机上与人的一次谈话说起，接着说这次谈话一直留在他心中，因此他开始了现在的事业——通过演讲推广善行。所以整篇文章是在讲述作者是如何开始了自己的"kindness career"。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第3小题，根据最后七段内容可知，作者一直记着Helga的话，并且努力想要使善行变得更常见。作者通过到各地学校做演讲，让学生、老师和家长们意识到我们对善行的需要，并给年轻人提供一些去实践善行的方法。而作者自己也认为自己的工作非常"satisfying (令人满意的)"。故选D。

Engineers frm the University at Buffal, Fudan University in China, and the University f Wiscnsin-Madisn have cme tgether with funding frm the Natinal Science Fundatin t prduce an efficient and cst-effective device that purifies drinking water using the wrld’s mst abundant pwer surce-the sun.
Mre than 2, 300 years ag, the philspher Aristtle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaprates (蒸发) up int the air, cndenses (凝结) int drps, and then falls back t the grund, pure and free f pllutants.
Prfessr Qiaqiang Gan and the ther engineers created a methd f purifying water that builds upn Aristtle’s ancient bservatins. Gan’s team invented a slar water purifier that is a mdern versin f an evaprative slar still. This device lks like the rf f a tent, with strips f carbn-cated paper cvering the tp s that the paper strip hangs dwn n the sides. The ends f the paper strip dip int a water cntainer at the bttm. Gradually, the water in the cntainer is absrbed by the paper. When the black carbn cating n the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins t dry. During evapratin, salt, dirt, bacteria, and ther pllutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cls, water drplets begin t cndense n the surface f the paper. The purified water is cllected in a clean cntainer and is ready t drink.
There are a few key advantages f the slar water purifier. First, the device is quick and efficient. The slar still can generate up t 5 gallns f clean water daily, which is enugh t prvide sufficient drinking water fr a family. Furthermre, this slar water purifier is cheaper than ther water-purificatin devices because it is made with inexpensive and widely available materials.
There are als disadvantages in terms f the adaptatin t diverse envirnments n Earth and the building up f salt in the prcess. Currently, the engineers are wrking t make their purifier available wrldwide. Sn, drinkable water will be purified and accessible where it is needed.
32. Why des the authr mentin Aristtle and the water cycle in the text?
A. T catch readers’ attentin and interest.
B. T add mre authrity t the new inventin.
C. T shw the histry f the slar water purifier.
D. T help illustrate the basic wrking principles f the inventin
33. What is the main functin f the carbn-cated paper?
A. T cver the tp.B. T cllect clean water.
C. T hang dwn n the sides.D. T absrb water and heat frm the sun.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. What the researchers have dne.
B. Hw the slar water purifier wrks.
C. What the slar water purifier can d.
D. Hw similar Aristtle’s bservatin is t the purifier.
35. What might the authr think f the future f the slar water purifier?
A. Dark.B. Uncertain.C. Prmising.D. Unpredictable.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C

推理判断题。根据第二段“Mre than 2, 300 years ag, the philspher Aristtle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaprates (蒸发) up int the air, cndenses (凝结) int drps, and then falls back t the grund, pure and free f pllutants. (2,300多年前，哲学家亚里士多德描述了水循环。他解释说，水被太阳加热，蒸发到空气中，凝结成水滴，然后落回地面，纯净无污染物。)”可知，提到亚里士多德是为介绍太阳能净水设备的基本工作原理。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Gradually, the water in the cntainer is absrbed by the paper. When the black carbn cating n the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins t dry. (逐渐地，容器中的水被纸张吸收。当纸张上的黑碳涂层被太阳加热时，湿纸开始干燥。)”可知碳涂层纸的主要功能是吸水和吸收太阳的热量。故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The ends f the paper strip dip int a water cntainer at the bttm. Gradually, the water in the cntainer is absrbed by the paper. When the black carbn cating n the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins t dry. During evapratin, salt, dirt, bacteria, and ther pllutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cls, water drplets begin t cndense n the surface f the paper.

A grwing number f families in China are able t affrd a pian and lessns fr their children. By2016, the number f children learning pian in China exceeded 30 millin and the number has risen by 10percent every year since. The pian used t be a rare freign imprt in China; nw fur in five are made here. Much f this can be traced back t the tiny Chinese island f Gulangyu.
After the first pium war in 1842, freign pwers frced the emperr t permit their residents t live in several “treaty prts”. One f thse was Xiamen. Gulangyu, which lies just a five-minute ferry ride ffshre, was an internatinal settlement. The freign residents ppularised the pian as an everyday amusement. There was sn hardly a family n the island that did nt hst r g t hear an evening recital (演奏会).
Fr decades the island has achieved lngstanding fame: the largest number f pians per persn in China. The result was a stream f utstanding musicians. The island’s mst celebrated musician is YinChengzng. In 1969 he arranged an earlier revlutinary cantata int the “Yellw River Pian Cncert”. It remains China’s mst famus rchestral cmpsitin.
Where nce Western classical music flwed int China, pianists and their wrks are puring ut. Of the 50 millin children learning the instrument wrldwide, as many as 40 millin may be Chinese. The gvernment lavishes mney n rchestras, which nw number ver 80, and new cncert halls. Demanding parents and cl yung things fill them t hear the mst talented pianists-amng whm, in recent decades, have been Lang Lang, Li Yundi and Yuja Wang-play sme beautifully judged Bach r fiendishly hard Rachmaninv. Althugh reprts shw that abut 10 percent f learners brn in the 1990s rarely tuch the instrument after they have finished all the exams fr amateur learners, mst have made it part f their life.
24. What has the island f Gulangyu been knwn fr?

Engineers frm the University at Buffal, Fudan University in China, and the University f Wiscnsin-Madisn have cme tgether with funding frm the Natinal Science Fundatin t prduce an efficient and cst-effective device that purifies drinking water using the wrld’s mst abundant pwer surce-the sun.
Mre than 2, 300 years ag, the philspher Aristtle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaprates (蒸发) up int the air, cndenses (凝结) int drps, and then falls back t the grund, pure and free f pllutants.
Prfessr Qiaqiang Gan and the ther engineers created a methd f purifying water that builds upn Aristtle’s ancient bservatins. Gan’s team invented a slar water purifier that is a mdern versin f an evaprative slar still. This device lks like the rf f a tent, with strips f carbn-cated paper cvering the tp s that the paper strip hangs dwn n the sides. The ends f the paper strip dip int a water cntainer at the bttm. Gradually, the water in the cntainer is absrbed by the paper. When the black carbn cating n the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins t dry. During evapratin, salt, dirt, bacteria, and ther pllutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cls, water drplets begin t cndense n the surface f the paper. The purified water is cllected in a clean cntainer and is ready t drink.
There are a few key advantages f the slar water purifier. First, the device is quick and efficient. The slar still can generate up t 5 gallns f clean water daily, which is enugh t prvide sufficient drinking water fr a family. Furthermre, this slar water purifier is cheaper than ther water-purificatin devices because it is made with inexpensive and widely available materials.
There are als disadvantages in terms f the adaptatin t diverse envirnments n Earth and the building up f salt in the prcess. Currently, the engineers are wrking t make their purifier available wrldwide. Sn, drinkable water will be purified and accessible where it is needed.
32. Why des the authr mentin Aristtle and the water cycle in the text?
A. T catch readers’ attentin and interest.
B. T add mre authrity t the new inventin.
C. T shw the histry f the slar water purifier.
D. T help illustrate the basic wrking principles f the inventin
33. What is the main functin f the carbn-cated paper?
A. T cver the tp.B. T cllect clean water.
C. T hang dwn n the sides.D. T absrb water and heat frm the sun.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. What the researchers have dne.
B. Hw the slar water purifier wrks.
C. What the slar water purifier can d.
D. Hw similar Aristtle’s bservatin is t the purifier.
35. What might the authr think f the future f the slar water purifier?

【57题详解】
