New Stories Await Just for You

Welcome to the 2022 Hal Leonard Vocal(声乐的)Competition

2022 will be the twelfth year of the annual Hal Leonard Vocal Competition, an innovative online competition for singers. This is the only vocal competition for all of North America aimed at young singers, aged 23 and under, and one of the first competitions for music students held entirely online on YouTube.

Unlike almost every other music competition, there is no entry fee, making it accessible to any qualified singer, who records a video of singing a song, and then posts it on the Internet by the deadline. This saves the commonly encountered expenses of traveling to specific destinations, as is the case in conventional music competitions.

It includes four age categories:

·Children: 12 and under

·Early Teens:13～15

·High School:16～18

·College Undergraduates/Young Adults:19～23

A certain amount of money is awarded to first place winners in each category, and valuable gift certificates are awarded to those singers placed second and third. Gift certificates are also possible for those named Honorable Mention.

Notice:

·Video entries must be submitted before February 2,2022.

·The video must clearly show your face. A stationary camera position throughout, showing your face and most of your body, is perfectly acceptable, even preferable.

·Singers are required to sing their selections from memory. If a singer’s performance is not memorized, the entry will be disqualified.

·You may sing with a live pianist in your video entry,or you may sing with official Hal Leonard recorded accompaniments. We will not accept unaccompanied entries. You can not accompany yourself.

·You are required to introduce yourself and your selections in the video, either verbally before your selection or with a title card before the songs.

21．How is the competition different from other music competitions?

A．It is held annually. B．It charges no entry fee.

C．It is aimed at teens. D．It offers travel chances.

22．What will go to the first place winners?

A．Cash prizes. B．Travel tickets.

C．Gift certificates. D．Expensive cameras.

23．What are the participants required to do in their video entries?

A．Hide their faces all the time. B．Accompany themselves alone.

C．Sing songs from their memory. D．Avoid introducing themselves.

B

A few years ago, I spared a couple of hours from busy academic learning to work in a video store on a daily basis. There was something in the elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. And she had a job to do.

The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, checking her watch every few seconds. The older woman detached from the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled on a crumpled (皱巴巴的) piece of paper. The title was a bit difficult to understand. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.

Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d departed this life last Christmas. As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation. We found the movie, and I complimented (称赞) her on her choice. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.

I walked over to the younger woman. “Is that your mom?” I asked. She rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah.” There was annoyance in her reply, half sigh and half complaint. Still watching the mother, I said, “Mind some advice?” “Sure,” said the daughter. I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little moments that will come back to you. Moments like this. I used to let it slip. I know.”

24．What does the underlined sentence “she had a job to do” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．She was thinking of what to buy. B．She had a regular job in the store.

C．She wanted to buy a DVD． D．She wanted to ask for help.

25．Which word can best describe the daughter’s behaviors towards her mom?

A．Impolite. B．Uncaring. C．Tolerant. D．Considerate.

26．What can we learn about the author?

A．She was ill-informed of quality movies.    B．She was a full-time employee in the store.

C．She regretted not accompanying her mom.  D．She criticized the younger woman seriously.

27．What is the best title for the text?

A．Lend a helping hand to elderly people B．Mother is not what we can substitute

C．The past cannot be called back again D．Always treasure the ones you love

C

When some people hear self-discipline, they think that it’s boring. They equate a disciplined life to feelings of entrapment. Allow me to tell you a story.

On a hot sunny day, Bertha is buzzing by her hive with some other bees, just relaxing and having a good time. Suddenly a bear starts to approach her hive for some honey and bee eggs. To save her hive, Bertha stings the bear. But its skin is so thick that once she tries to pull her sting out she dismembers(肢解) herself and dies.

The sad part is that Bertha has no choice. Through years of evolution she has developed a biological reaction to dangers—to sting threats. If she had known she would die, she might have flown away and saved her own life.

Bees are prisoners of their own biology, but humans can override their biology through self-discipline.

Most people have long-term desires for lasting relationships, meaningful careers or healthy bodies but are constantly tempted by short term pleasures, such as junk food or video games. Deep down they really want the life that comes in the long term. Yet they keep giving in to short-term pleasures.

The only difference is self-discipline. Luckily, humans have the ability to practice self-discipline. It gives us the freedom to achieve what we truly want in life and allow us to break free of the biological or societal cages around us. But it’s not that simple.

Companies are aware of our natural, biological reactions and use this against us by using supernormal stimuli. An example is junk food. Our ancestors were wired to seek out and enjoy fat and salty food because it was so rare at the time. But now companies have genetically engineered food to include more fats and salts than ever before in order to make us desire it even more.

Social media and the Internet as a whole is another form of supernormal stimuli. Humans are biologically wired to seek out novelty. For our ancestors novelty could lead to more knowledge about the world, which could lead to more wisdom that helped us thrive as a species. It has its usefulness. However, the Internet has been designed to take advantage of this desire for novelty by showing you more novelty than you can ever dream of. Every page links out more pages. And every video to a video with even more novelty. Videogames do the same thing.

On the plus side, however, you and I are not like the bee, because we are not cased by our own biology. With self-discipline, we can live the life we truly want. We have the choice to be free.

28．Why is the story of Bertha mentioned in paragraph two?

A．To illustrate what evolution is.             B．To arouse readers’ sympathy for Bertha.

C．To draw readers’ attention to self-discipline.  D．To offer a perfect example of self-discipline.

29．What does the underlined word “stimuli” in paragraph seven most probably mean?

A．Something that encourages certain reactions.

B．Something that is unhealthy for people to eat.

C．Something that does good to our mental health.

D．Something that discourages people from taking action.

30．What is the author’s attitude towards social media and the Internet?

A．Approving. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Cautious.

31．What makes the author think humans are lucky compared with bees?

A．Humans’ blessing of an advanced biological system.

B．Humans’ desires to live an ideal life.

C．Humans’ eagerness to overcome inborn disadvantages.

D．Humans’ ability to practice self-discipline.

D

When you’re going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty-which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.

Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention(干预)there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.

Participants were aged between 18 and 55; some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, while others had no history of mental illness at all.

In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took part in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking onne shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.

The task took place in two blocks-one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.

Those participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression were slower to adjust their responses to the changes in probabilities. This suggests that mood disorders are associated with difficulty making decisions in changing circumstances.

Senior author Sonia Bishop argues that those participants who adapted quickly did so because of their emotional resilience(适应力). ＂Emotionally resilient people tend to focus on what gave them a good outcome, and in many real-world situations that might be key to learning to make good decisions, ”she says.

Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.

32．According to the text, which of the following affects decision-making?

A．Feeling uncomfortable with someone.     B．Feeling unsure of what will happen.

C．Wondering who will make a decision.     D．Wondering how to help make a decision.

33．What was the purpose of the unstable block?

A．To create a fast-changing situation.        B．To train participants to respond to changes.

C．To make the video game more challenging.  D．To help those with anxiety make decisions.

34．Why does Sonia Bishop suggest focusing on past successes?

A．To improve decision-making.             B．To remember the achievements.

C．To adapt quickly to a new situation.        D．To avoid making difficult decisions.

35．What advice can be given according to the study?

A．Try to think quickly when making decisions.

B．Don’t expect too much when making decisions.

C．Don’t focus on one single thing when making decisions.

D．Reduce your anxiety or depression when making decisions.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Over the summer I moved from Texas to Missouri. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect.

On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.

After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.”

I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular.

A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it?” He looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
