10、ang Amadeus Mozart knew what to do with it, Aged six, already skilled at the clavier（键盘乐器）, he came across pedals （踏板） and stops for the first time in an Austrian church. Within moments he was playing an accompaniment and composing on the spot freely. In the following year, 1763, an official in Heid
11、elberg was so astonished by his organ-playing that he had a plate carved for his church to mark the boys visit. Mozart composed his first symphony at eight.Youthful promise often declines. With Mozart the opposite was true. Through him classical music may have found its most ideal expression. As Jan
12、 Swafford writes in his outstanding biography, Mozarts compositions displayed “a kind of effortless perfection so easily worn that they seem almost to have written themselves”. He drafted quickly, often without needing to revise. He “could express delight by the yard”. A man of his time, Mozart was
13、equally at home composing for the concert salon or the opera stage.He is the subject of many biographies, but the leading one, by Hermann Aber, is 100 years old and 1, 600 pages long. Safford, himself a composer and a programme-writer, offers an updated and authoritative life, easy to understand, be
14、autifully written, and full of critical judgments and sharp notes on the works.Mozart s way with melody （旋律） and keen view of human nature-his letters reveal an almost Dickensian ability to paint characters-combined to promote opera from desserts to a serious medium, the author argues. “His wisdom,
15、his ability to observe people and their weaknesses, his fascination with the craze for love - al this made him the perfect composer of the form, Mr Swafford thinks.He was admired in his time. Most of his music stuck to conventional structures yet went over the heads of the average listener. Legend h
16、as it that his most important fan, Emperor Joseph II, reacted to one performance with an impressive comment: “Too beautiful for our ears, my dear Mozart!”21. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?A. The true origin of the symphony.B. Musical instruments in Mozarts time.C. Mozarts remarkable talent fo

What did Mozart contribute to?A. Creating music for folk stories.B. Inspirations for Dickens works.C. Reforms of c
19、onventional structures.D. Transforming opera to a serious art form.BIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like Space X are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on eithe
20、r of them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily activities. Many have already proposed hydrogen（氢气）as a possible solution. But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 from the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it o
21、ffers a possible solution.For now, though, the team of scientists at Oxford University is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation （航空的） industry. As the aviation industry contributes over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to tum the tide. So far aviat
22、ion scientists have tried to use different other energy sources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. What Oxford researchers propose is adding a cheap iron
23、-based catalyst （催化剂） and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not involve using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral.The researchers tested the new catalyst in a small reaction lab at 300 Celsius and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire proce
24、ss took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that can be used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, one of the lead scientists in the project, said the new method coul
25、d be scaled up in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. If the Oxford University project can be scaled up, it could attract Elon Musks attention. A similar method can be used to produce water and fuel enough to light a colony on Mars and the Moon.25. Why does the author mention
26、 the settlements on Mars?A. To celebrate the achievements of Space X.B. To present a debate on space exploration.C. To introduce a new approach to exploiting CO2.D. To stress the difficulty of doing daily activities in space.26. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. Electricity is being pr

What do we know about the method Oxford researchers tested?A. It is cost-saving and efficient.B. It can be used to recycle plastic.
28、C. It is complex and time-consuming.D. It can deal with half of the chemicals.28. What will the researchers do next?A. Help leading airlines to adjust their flights.B. Persuade Elon Musk to invest in the project.C. Cut back the by-products of the experiment.D. Make the new fuel economically practica
29、ble.CFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists- that is to say, that there is
30、something by virtue of which man is man. Thus, man was defined as a rational （理性的） being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the
31、historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called human nature. The historical approach was strengt
32、hened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology （人类学）. The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on w
33、hich each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield（盾牌）behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most th
34、inkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality the necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically （愤世嫉俗地） to
35、 human nature in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolut
36、ion, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.29. Most philosophers believed that human nature .A. is the quality distinguishing man f
37、rom other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior30. The traditional view of *human nature was strongly challenged by .A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approa
38、ch to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery31. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings .A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up32
39、. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to .A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of human natureB. show that the concept of human nature was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of human natureD. su

I have already begun negotiating with a home electronics company, who is interested in becoming our partner.I just have to say how happy I am that our store has been able to grow over these past few years. When my father started this store 10 years ago, he did it wi
96、th the intention of being better than the competition. I was already proud of our store when we grew to0 big for the old building last year and moving here was a great decision. In just four years since I became manager, (19) we have begun selling to customers all around the country and we have doubled our profits in that time! It is all thanks to your hard work, which is why everyone will be getting a raise today! Every one of you deserves this, and I am happy to have you on my team. (20)
