21、Three years ago, Brian Palmer was a homeless man struggling to overcome drug addiction. All he owned was a bag containing some clothes, a blanket, and a pillow. He sought assistance at a recovery center at the heart of Skid Row. One activity that helped him through the tough time was singing. As a kid, he dreamed of becoming a professional singer; he was a member of the church choir and appeared in musicals at school. In 2015, he encountered the Urban Voices Project. This led him to Street Symphony, a group of professional musicians, which works with homeless, mentally ill, and incarcerated (监禁的) populations.
In February, Palmer began taking voice lessons from Scott Graff, a member of Street Symphony. Graff said, “I gave Brian some tips on singing technique, and he taught me life lessons. I got the better end of the deal. ”
A few days after Thanksgiving, Palmer sang “The People That Walked in Darkness” in a musical workshop. Five string players accompanied him; a few dozen members of the workshop were in attendance. Before performing, Palmer shared with the audience some thoughts about the music. “When I came here three years ago, I didn’t know where my life was going to take me,” he said. “I just knew that I needed to change, and that I needed help. When I was walking through my life in addiction, and the darkness and the hell I had created for myself, it was like the phoenix (凤凰) coming out of the darkness and seeing the light. ”
Palmer then sang the song. After his performance, Graff commented, “Palmer performed well for one who has been studying singing technique for less than a year. More importantly, he made the text sound as though it had been taken from his own life. ”
“That was really empowering,” Palmer told the audience afterward. He explained what had been going through his mind as he sang. “An act of love,” he said, looking out at familiar faces in front of him. “One act of love, I know for sure, is listening.”
【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicate?
A．Graff spoke highly of Brian’s talent for music.
B．Graff was grateful to Brian for the life lessons.
C．Graff took pride in teaching Brian voice lessons.
D．Graff thought his deal with Brian not worthwhile.
【2】Why could Brian perform well in the musical workshop?
A．He cooperated quite well with string players.
B．He acquired proper techniques to sing the song.
C．He gained support from members of the workshop.
D．He well conveyed what the text of the song meant.
【3】What might be the best title for the text?
A．Urban Voices Project
B．Brian Palmer: A Professional Singer
C．The Chains of Love

23、What is the best soccer club in the world? The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has named FC Barcelona the best world club of the decade (2011-2020). The Spanish club also topped the rankings(排名) for this century's first decade (2001-2010).
The ranking is determined by rating (打分) results from each of a club's matches. During the past 10 years, Barcelona won 22 trophies, including two Champions Leagues(欧洲冠军杯) and two UEFA Super Cups(欧洲超级杯), earning a score of 2,877 points. Its rival (对手) Real Madrid earned 2,782 points, while FC Bayern München ended up with 2,594 points.
The club obviously won based on its success. But what is it that truly makes a soccer club great? For one thing, the club has its own style, which is also one of the reasons it has been so successful. Instead of relying on physical strength, Barcelona players use more technical skills, especially when it comes to passing. This style works well on the field and is very entertaining(有观赏性的) to watch as well.
This style is used by some of the world's best players. Many clubs have great players, but “Barcelona is able to bring them together in a way that fans love”, said the sports website Bleacher Report. The club once had superstars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar who played together like a “goal-scoring machine”.
Although the club has the spending power to buy big stars, they often prefer to use players from their youth team. These young players are very loyal to Barcelona. Messi is one player who has risen up through the ranks of the Barcelona academy(青训营).
When Barcelona fans cheer on their team at their home stadium, Camp Nou, they often hold signs saying “Més que un club”, which means“More than a club”. This seems to have been proven true during the past decades.
【1】What title did FC Barcelona win recently?
A．The UEFA Super Cup.
B．The Champions League.
C．The biggest rival club from 2001 to 2010
D．The best world club of the past 10 years.
【2】What is Paragraph 2 about?
A．How many matches the club has won.
B．Why the club was ranked as the best.
C．How each match the club won was rated.
D．Who the club will compete with.
【3】Which is Barcelona' secret to becoming so successful?
A．It trains its players to win with physical strength.
B．It spends large sums of money buying star players.
C．It often uses loyal players from its own youth team.
D．It plays most of its matches at its home stadium.
【4】What is the story about?
A．How to manage a football club.
B．Great football clubs around the world.
C．What fans like best about FC Barcelona.
D．What makes Barcelona a great football club.
24、The Enigma（谜）of Beauty
The search for beauty spans centuries and continents．Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup．In 18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long，white hair to make themselves attractive．Today，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance．
There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power．Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and are regarded as friendlier．
But what exactly is beauty？ It’s difficult to describe it clearly，and yet we know it when we see it．And our awareness of it may start at a very early age．In one set of studies，six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs．The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students．In the studies，the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones．
The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers．In studies by psychologists，men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes，fuller lips，and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist．According to scientists，the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits―the full lips，clear skin，strong shoulders―equal health and genetic well-being．
Not everyone thinks the same way，however．“Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectations—mostly cultural,” says C．Loring Brace，an anthropologist at the University of Michigan．What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another．Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin．But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide？ Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world．They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures．
For better or worse，beauty plays a role in our lives．But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another．Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing，it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single，uniform standard．Beauty really is，as the saying goes，in the eye of the beholder．
【1】People’s ideas about beauty _______．
A．have existed since ancient times
B．can be easily described
C．have little influence on a person’s success
D．are based upon strict criteria
【2】In Paragraph 3，the babies in the study _______．
A．were rated for their appearance

C．were shown photos of a group of college students

【3】The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______．
A．qualities B．measurements C．judgments D．standards
【4】We can learn from the passage that _______．
A．the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up
B．the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidence
C．the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches
D．the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds
