The underlined word "production" in Paragraph 5 refers to______.‎ A. writing B. direction C. performance D. conference B At first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.‎ Alma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”‎ The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.‎ While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.‎ Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.‎ However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.‎ Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!‎ ‎4. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?‎ ‎ A. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.‎ ‎ B. She comes from a famous musical family.‎ C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.‎ ‎ D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.‎ ‎5. How did Alma get to be widely known?‎ ‎ A. Through her parents’ promotion B. By performing on television ‎ C. By putting on an opera D. Through an online video ‎ ‎6. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?‎ A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.‎ B. She is modest about her musical achievements C.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.‎ D. She is proud to have become a professional musician.‎ ‎7. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?‎ A. They are very well-educated people.‎ B. They have pushed Alma to take up music C. .They are protective of their daughter.‎ D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.‎ C I'm sure we've all done something a little dishonest in our lives—maybe copying someone's work, or being given too much change in a shop and keeping quiet about it. Or maybe I'm wrong—maybe you’re a good, upstanding(正直的) citizen who believes that honesty is the best policy.‎ We may agree that admitting our mistakes and behaving in a genuine(真实的) and decent(得体的) way is the right way to lead our lives but is there something in our human nature that makes us unscrupulous? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box—a box where you pay for something by putting money in it. But it does provide a temptation(诱惑) to get away with not paying the full amount.‎ Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says: we have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It's part of our evolutionary psychological make up—because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.‎ So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It's because ‎ it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.‎ Being trustworthy with money is of course extremely important for an economy to survive and there are laws to protect us from dishonest practices. But being honest with words is another matter; saying what we think to someone can be embarrassing. Is honest always the best policy?‎ ‎8．The underlined word "unscrupulous" in paragraph two may mean?‎ A.honest B. dishonest C. generous D. trustworthy ‎9．If there is an honesty box in a shop, what should a customer do?‎ A. Put in the amount of money one should pay for his buying.‎ B. Take some money out if in need.‎ C. Get away without paying the right amount.‎ D.Donate some money to the charities. ‎ ‎10．What can we learn according to Philip Graves?‎ A. Men are born to be dishonest. B. One will be criticized if he is dishonest.‎ C.Breaking the balance is kind of dishonesty. D. Dishonesty is of some benefit to survival. ‎ ‎11．The author may NOT agree that ________.‎ A. dishonest economic behaviors will be punished B. not all social members accept dishonesty C. honesty is based on working together D. being dishonest with words sometimes is acceptable D Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit: most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.‎ A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood ‎ pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don’t keep your legs crossed.‎ Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis(麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.‎ So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.‎ ‎12.What can we learn about crossing one’s legs?‎ A. It can do harm to people’s health. B. It is usually practiced deliberately.‎ ‎ C. It is a very bad social habit. D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.‎ ‎13. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can .‎ ‎ A. improve the function of legs B. resist gravity effectively ‎ C. lead to heart attacks easily D. affect your blood pressure ‎14. In the third paragraph “pins and needles” probably means .‎ ‎ A. being highly flexible B. being a little nervous ‎ C. slight sharp pains D. serious muscle injuries ‎ ‎15. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ ‎ A. To give readers some advice. B. To compare common habits. ‎ ‎ C. To evaluate effects of an experiment. D. To introduce research methods.‎ 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。‎ In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word.
