21、Music has been around since the first man walked on the Earth. Every beat or sound our ancestors heard was in some way a kind of music. Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain. Today’s music is so varied that almost every child or teenager has a long list of favorite songs that they like to listen to on their smartphone or other devices.
But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.
For me, I’m truly in love with rock music. Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines. However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.
Another widely misunderstood belief is that rock music is only about drums and guitars, when that is just its outward face. A wide variety of other instruments are important to rock, and make an important contribution to the sound of the music as a whole, other than just guitars and drums.
【1】Why does the author mention the nature sound in paragraph 1?
A．To show the simplicity of early music.
B．To present the variety of early music.
C．To indicate the history of music.
D．To promote people’s love of nature.
【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Music changes over time.
B．Music comes in various forms.
C．“In music” challenges the traditionalists.
D．Opinions are divided on music preference.
【3】Why is rock music often misunderstood?
A．Media only reports musicians negatively.
B．Some rock stars behave improperly.
C．Rock expresses drugs and overdrinking.
D．Music instruments of rock are traditional.
【4】What does the author want to express in general?
A．Every teenager has their own favorite songs.
B．Traditional music can easily be forgotten.
C．Music should be judged fairly.
D．Drums and guitars stand for rock music.
22、Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression（印象）. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
● 【1】
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 【2】.

● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. 【4】. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

23、You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top.
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me, “You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain.” This has largely influenced my life. Without such mountaineering opportunities, we wouldn’t have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy himself. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed one of the highest mountains in our country. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the fresh air, the birds’ singing, and the beautiful dances of butterflies; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment, I wanted to quit climbing. Actually, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls, temples and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain. Only there at the top, can you see all of those things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words, but after that, I got new hope and confidence. Finally, I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal.
【1】From the passage we know that mountain-climbing was ________ for Father and Son.
A．stressful
B．enjoyable
C．risky
D．challenging
【2】What do the father’s words mean in the fourth paragraph?
A．You can get everything you want at the top of the mountain.
B．The sky at the top of the mountain is always as clear as crystal.

D．Never give up halfway
【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that the writer _______.
A．hated climbing mountains when he grew up
B．could understand his father though young
C．became a great success in his life
D．preferred crystal to the whole sky
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Conversations between Father and Son.
B．Happy childhood and mountaineering.
C．The beautiful scenery and crystal.
D．Reaching the top of the mountain.
24、 A huge colored map of the Silk Road from a royal court of the mid-Ming Dynasty was officially welcomed home at the Forbidden City in Beijing on Thursday.
The 30-meter-long by 59-centimeter-wide map, named the Landscape Map of the Silk Road, is painted on silk. It describes trade routes starting at Jiayuguan, at the western end of the Great Wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), through Central and West Asia to the Middle East.
As many as 221 cities in what now are some 10 countries are on the map. key places on the ancient Silk Road included Gansu province’s Dunhuang, Mecca, Damascus, Esfahan in Iran and Samarqand in Uzbekistan.
The map’s return was made possible as a donation from Hui Wing Mau, a Hong Kong-based real estate entrepreneur, who paid $20 million for it this year.
“The map, with plenty of geographic information, proves that China had the world’s best mapping skills at that time,” said Lin Meicun, a history professor from Peking University, at the receiving ceremony on Thursday. “It also shows Chinese people had a clear understanding of the outside world before Western maps came into the country,” he added.
Lin said it’s a pity that one-fourth of the original drawing, showing the route from Mecca to Istanbul, was lost, based on a modeling board for this map he found in historical records. “Maybe that part was cut off by some antique trader to sell separately,” he said.
Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, said “The map is a devotion of ancient Chinese geography to the whole world. It shows the frequent business and cultural communication between China and countries along the ancient Silk Road.”
【1】Where might the Silk Road begin and end on the entire map?

C.Dunhuang and Samarqand in Uzbekistan. D.Jiayuguan and the western end of the Great Wall.
