Education.‎ B Hobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.‎ One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.”As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”‎ ‎“Here is the reading of your uncle's will(遗嘱)”，said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”‎ ‎“Yes, I see.

They expect to hear that I was born into a musical family and had an excellent piano teacher. However, the truth is different. When I was little, nobody played an instrument at home. I learnt to play the piano and sing because there was a piano in my house and I just wanted to make music.‎ My parents allowed me to sit at the piano and sing as long as I wanted. If they were afraid that I would break the old piano, they never mentioned it. They didn’t suggest that I should take lessons, either. The songs just came to me when I had my hands on the piano. I supposed I had musical talent and that was all I needed. My parents were very happy to see what I had done.‎ I started writing proper songs when I was a teenager. The music was mine, but the words were from other songwriters. It seemed so easy. When you start to compose, you can copy other people’s best songs. Then you start changing the melodies and the words and you develop your own style. That only happened later when I had grown beyond my teenage years.‎ For a time, I thought music would be just a hobby. My parents had developed a strong belief that I would be able to make a living as a musician, but I had my doubts, so after school I took a job in radio advertising. Then one day one of my songs won a prize and that changed everything. I realized my happiness was in music. I have been a musician ever since that day.‎ ‎28. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?‎ A. To suggest how children can be taught music.‎ B. To describe his life as a successful musician.‎ C. To explain how he became a musician.‎ D. To complain about his lack of musical training.‎ ‎29. When the writer started making music on the piano, his parents ______.‎ A. seemed happy to let him play it B. said the piano might get damaged C. saw the need for a piano teacher D. wanted him to play his own songs ‎30. What did the writer say about the songs he wrote as a teenager?‎ A. They were not well-written.‎ B. It took him a long time to write them.‎ C. They were not very original.‎ D. They showed his personal style.‎ ‎31. The writer took a job in radio advertising because ______.‎ A. his parents thought it was a good career for him B. he thought he might not earn enough as a musician C. he had learnt about advertising jobs at school D. it offered him the opportunity to change his life D We’ve all heard the same warning: looking at your phone or another screen before bed is very bad for you. It may make it harder for you to fall asleep and prevent you from getting a good night’s rest. Most sleep doctors suggest turning off screens an hour before bedtime. The reality is that, for the majority of us, cell phones, tablets, or TVs are the last things we look at before we close our eyes. Our smartphones can sometimes feel like an extension of our bodies because we’re so physically connected to them. Screens in general have become such a prominent part of our lives that it can feel completely unrealistic to put them away earlier in the evening. But according to sleep doctors, it’s a smart idea to at least give it a try.‎ At night, your brain starts to produce a hormone called melatonin（褪黑色素）, which keeps your circadian rhythm（生理节律）on track and helps you fall asleep, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Being exposed to bright light prevents melatonin production, says Philip Richard Gehrman, a behavioral sleep specialist and associate professor of clinical psychology in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. “Blue light has the strongest impact,” he adds, “and the types of LED lights used in most electronic devices are strongest in the blue part of the spectrum（光谱）.”‎ Why is blue light particularly bad? Dr. Gehrman explains that the very specialized cells in the eyes that feed into our sleep system and circadian rhythms, called retinal ganglion（视网膜神经节）cells, respond strongly to blue light in comparison to other types of light.‎ ‎“Beyond the light you’re exposing yourself to, there’s also the simple truth that it’s easy to get caught up in what you’re reading or watching, which leads to staying awake a lot later than you should,” says Shelby Harris, clinical psychologist in private practice in New York. “Even if you’ve got the self-control to switch off Netflix after a reasonable number of episodes, depending on what you just watched or read, you may be too mentally stimulated to fall asleep anyway.”‎ ‎32.Which of the following best replaces the underlined word in paragraph 1?‎ A. important B. fun C. different D. unique ‎33. How does bright light “work” at night?‎ A. It will help us fall asleep very quickly. ‎ B. It will make our brain produce a hormone.‎ C. It will keep our circadian rhythms on track. ‎ D. It will affect the production of melatonin. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎34. What is special about blue light?‎ A. It has the longest effect on our sleep. ‎ B. It is mostly used in electronic devices. ‎ C. It causes the eye cells to react greatly. ‎ D. It is the strongest one among all the lights. ‎ ‎35. What can we learn from Shelby Harris’ words?‎ A. Self-control will help us escape the influence of television. ‎ B. What we are reading and watching can help us sleep longer. ‎ C. Light is the most important factor affecting our sleep quality. ‎ D. What we watch or read before bedtime will influence our sleep quality.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to keep yourself safe from new virus?‎ After a new-type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China's Wuhan city a month ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. _____36_____:‎ ‎1.
