The story of 11-year-old piano talent Jude Kofie warmed hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy a ﹩ 15,000 grand piano.
"He's beyond special.He's Mozart level.It's coming from somewhere beyond,"piano tuner(调音师) Bill Magnusson said of young Kofie's musical talent.Magnusson,using the money he received from his father,gifted a ﹩ 15,000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano talent on local news.
Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News show"Sunday Morning".
CBS "Sunday Morning"later summed up Kofie's story in a tweet that went viral with over 10,000 likes."Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie,of Aurora,Colorado,demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and,without any lessons,began playing."
Twitter users reacted to the emotional story,with one reporter calling Jude Kofie and his family "amazing people".Magnusson was moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news story.However,Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player."What resources are left over to help this special little soul?"Magnusson asked.
Magnusson also promised Kofie's family that he would tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life."We're family now,"he said.
Jude Kofie's father,Isaiah Kofie,was shocked at Magnusson's generosity."All for free,"he said."Who does that?"Jude's father asked,becoming visibly emotional.Isaiah Kofie told the news station that there was no way he could afford a grand piano and that he would never have imagined he would have one in his living room.
When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent for playing the piano,Jude Kofie said that it was"a miracle"."That's what I prefer,"he added.

In an era of endless notifications(通知) from apps,devices and social media platforms,as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider,how do we find ways to manage?And is the way we think,focus and process information changing as a result?
Maryanne Wolf is the director of the Center for Dyslexia,Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States.Wolf is concerned that "the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present.And we're so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult."
Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US.He researches how apps,social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user's attention."There are a thousand or more engineers,developers,designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention,to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads."
Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.He looks at the effects of what we're doing when we're "media multitasking"."Everybody's doing it,and it's,in a large way,a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us,"he said.
Media multitasking,like skimming,is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information.And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost.Le Roux points out,"We bring what we might call a switch cost;that means our performance in our central task is going to suffer.If you think of driving as the central task,the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they're driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving."
8. What is the result of much interaction with screens and devices according to Maryanne Wolf? ______
A. Having trouble in concentrating.
B. Becoming addicted to the Internet.
C. Being exposed to harmful information.
D. Building more relationships with others.
9. What does Kai Lukoff try to stress in the third paragraph? ______
A. Why social media apps are popular.
B. How social media platforms operate.
C. Platform workers try to attract users.
D. Social media platforms provide great services.
10. Why does Daniel Le Roux mention driving? ______
A. To explain media multitasking is common.
B. To show the harm of media multitasking.
C. To explain why we're media multitasking.
D. To show the difficulty avoiding media multitasking.
11. How does the author develop the text? ______
A. By quoting from some experts' speeches.
B. By providing some typical examples.
C. By using the results of some surveys.
D. By analyzing some social phenomena.
D
Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world's largest climate conference over plastics concerns,arguing the material has become"the new coal".
Just Zero and Beyond Plastics,two US-based groups,called on the United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola's status as a sponsor of this year's COP 27 on Wednesday.They believed that the soft drink manufacturer's role in the event is undermining the global fight against climate change and conflicts with the efforts to bring down emissions.
"COP 27 is supposed to focus on solutions to the serious climate crisis,"said Judith Enck,who heads Beyond Plastics."Instead,we're allowing it to be a stage for company greenwashing."
She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair,who said the company's sponsorship of COP 27"makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act."
Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and investments,which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by midcentury.But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From Plastic,an international coalition,has notably named Coca-Cola"the world's top plastic polluter"for four years running.
Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself.Coca-Cola has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic packaging,an inevitable(不可避免的) waste product.Such numbers,advocates argue,should disqualify the company from COP 27 sponsorship.
"By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP 27,Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility,"said Blair."But behind the scenes,Coca-Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers."
12. What does the underlined word"undermining"in paragraph 2 probably mean? ______
A. Making …less popular. B. Making ...less powerful.
C. Making…more reliable. D. Making …more interesting.
13. What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair intend to express? ______
A. Their doubt and surprise. B. Their confusion and curiosity.
C. Their support and expectation. D. Their anger and disappointment.
14. Which can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair? ______
A. Do as you would be done by.
B. What's done cannot be undone.
C. He who plays with fire gets burned.
D. Speak in one way and behave in another.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text? ______
A. Coca-Cola—The World's Top Plastic Polluter.
B. Coca-Cola—One of the Sponsors of COP 27.
C. Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola Out of COP 27.
D. Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution.

38. 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。
The 16th of September was my cousin's birthday.He is 4 years younger than me and his birthday is just seven days before mine.Those seven days were the worst days of my life.I thought "Isn't seven supposed to be a lucky number?"and wondered who came up with that idea.
That evening my mother sent him and me to get some stuff from the store so she could make him a cake.On every other Sunday at this time of the day I'd be on the soccer field kicking the ball around with my older friends,but instead this Sunday found me walking to the shop with my cousin.
On the way to the store my cousin spotted an almond(杏) at the edge of a branch.It was as large as an apple and as red as a new crayon fresh from the box.The rule was whoever spotted it first owned it.Even if you climbed the tree to get it,it still did not belong to you.I decided to go to get the beautiful,delicious-looking fruit for my cousin,seeing that it was his birthday.
I started to map out my course of action as to how I was going to get this fruit.I could have hit it with rocks until it fell,but no,it was too beautiful to be bruised(碰伤) by the force of a stone thrown at it.I continued to climb on to a fence which was directly parallel to the almond tree.At the top of the fence I paused a while to take a look around."Wow!Cool view from 12 feet off the ground."My cousin laughed and told me to hurry up and get it so we could go home.My next step was to jump from the fence,catch the main branch,and then climb to victory.Come on!I'd done this tons of times,and I didn't even hesitate.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;
As I grabbed the branch,that juicy almond met me eye to eye.__________
As we entered the house,my mother noticed I was covered in dirt.__________

一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】A、C、B、A
【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据第二段Wolf is concerned that "the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present.And we're so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult."(Wolf担心,"我们与屏幕和设备的互动量以及我们必须工作的速度改变了我们,使我们失去了在场的能力。我们已经习惯了走得太快,很难完全集中精力于一项活动。")可知根据Maryanne Wolf的说法,与屏幕和设备进行大量互动的结果是难以集中注意力。故选A。
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US.He researches how apps,social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user's attention."There are a thousand or more engineers,developers,designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention,to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads."(Kai Lukoff是美国圣克拉拉大学的助理教授。他研究应用程序、社交媒体平台和技术设计师如何吸引用户的注意力。"屏幕另一边有一千多名工程师、开发人员和设计师,他们有目的地或有意地设计这些服务,以吸引你的注意力,让你在网站上花更多的时间,让你点击更多的广告。")Kai Lukoff在第三段试图强调平台工作者试图吸引用户。故选C。
(3)推理判断题。根据最后一段Media multitasking,like skimming,is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information.And media multitasking comes at a cognitive(认知的) cost.Le Roux points out,"We bring what we might call a switch cost;that means our performance in our central task is going to suffer.If you think of driving as the central task,the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while they're driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving."(媒体多任务处理,就像略读一样,是对充满信息的环境的适应性反应。媒体多任务处理的代价是认知上的。勒鲁指出:"我们带来了所谓的转换成本;这意味着我们在核心任务中的表现将受到影响。"如果你认为驾驶是核心任务,我们禁止司机在驾驶时使用智能手机的原因是,这会分散他们的注意力。")可知Daniel Le Roux提到驾驶是为了展示媒体多任务处理的危害。故选B。
(4)推理判断题。根据第二段Wolf is concerned that "the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present.And we're so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult."(Wolf担心,"我们与屏幕和设备的互动量以及我们必须工作的速度改变了我们,使我们失去了在场的能力。我们已经习惯了走得太快,很难完全集中精力于一项活动。")以及第三段Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the US.He researches how apps,social media platforms and technology designers attempt to attract a user's attention."There are a thousand or more engineers,developers,designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention,to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads."(Kai Lukoff是美国圣克拉拉大学的助理教授。他研究应用程序、社交媒体平台和技术设计师如何吸引用户的注意力。"屏幕另一边有一千多名工程师、开发人员和设计师,他们有目的地或有意地设计这些服务,以吸引你的注意力,让你在网站上花更多的时间,让你点击更多的广告。")可知作者是通过引用一些专家的演讲来发展本文的。故选A。
本文主要讨论了在信息爆炸的时代,我们如何管理海量的信息,以及这种信息环境对我们的思维、注意力和信息处理方式的影响。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点。

Just Zero州政策主任彼得•布莱尔(Peter Blair)也加入了她的讲话,他说,该公司对COP 27的赞助"很难将这次会议视为一次表演行为。")可知朱迪斯•恩克和彼得•布莱尔打算表达他们的愤怒和失望。故选D。
(3)观点态度题。根据文章最后一段"By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP 27,Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility,"said Blair."But behind the scenes,Coca-Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers."(布莱尔说:"通过投入数百万美元赞助COP 27,可口可乐正在上演一出可耻的戏,以表现其环境责任。"。"但在幕后,可口可乐发起了阻止真正回收利用的运动,并抵制从一次性塑料瓶过渡到可重复使用和可重复灌装的玻璃容器的呼吁。")可知彼得•布莱尔认为可口可乐说一套做一套。A.Do as you would be done by.己所不欲,勿施于人;B.What's done cannot be undone.木已成舟;C.He who plays with fire gets burned.玩火者必自焚;D.Speak in one way and behave in another.说一套做一套。故选D。
(4)标题归纳题。根据文章第一段Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant to be pulled out of the world's largest climate conference over plastics concerns,arguing the material has become"the new coal".(两个环保组织希望一家主要的软饮料巨头退出世界上最大的塑料问题气候会议,认为这种材料已经成为"新的煤炭"。)可知本文的最佳标题是C.Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola Out of COP 27.(绿色组织试图将可口可乐踢出COP 27)。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了两个环保组织呼吁联合国气候变化大会取消可口可乐作为赞助商的资格,因为他们认为塑料已经成为了"新的煤炭",可口可乐的塑料污染问题正在破坏全球应对气候变化的努力。
一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
16~20.【答案】A、G、B、F、E
【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据上句 The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today(绝大多数人在生活中很少考虑他们是谁,他们是如何走到今天这一步的)和下句like a series of random events,with no explanations and few connections between them.(就像一系列随机事件,没有任何解释,它们之间也没有什么联系。)可知下句应该说明大多数人这样做的结果。故A项As a result,life just happens to them(结果,生活就这样发生在他们身上)承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
(2)推理判断题。根据下句When you change your thinking,you change your life.(当你改变了你的想法,你就改变了你的生活。)可知下句应该讲述的是与改变想法引起的结果。故G项When you improve your thinking,you improve your actions and results(当你改善了你的思维,你就改善了你的行动和结果)承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
(3)推理判断题。根据上句Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile(导弹). (你的思想就像导弹中的计算机。)可知导弹应该是准确定位目标的。故B项They lead you correctly to your target(他们会正确引导你到达目标)承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
(4)推理判断题。根据上句It turned out that the top 10 percent,the happiest and most successful of this group,thought about two things most of the time:what they wanted and how to get it. (结果是,这一群体中最快乐、最成功的前10%的人大多数时间都在想两件事:他们想要什么以及如何得到它。)可知为了实现目标我们应该采取行动。故F项They thought about their goals and the actions they could take(他们思考他们的目标和他们可以采取的行动)承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
(5)推理判断题。根据上句The more successful people thought about what they wanted and how to get it,the more ideas and insights came to them(成功人士越是思考他们想要什么以及如何得到它,他们就会有越多的想法和见解)可知这些想法和见解对成功人士造成了影响。故E项These ideas motivated them to take even more actions(这些想法激励他们采取更多的行动)承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了所有宗教、哲学、心理学和成功的基本原则都是这样的:大多数时候你想什么,你就成为什么。
七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子。解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子。
