But Alma, who lives in Dorking, England, has made one very special achievement. She has composed a full opera and brought it to the stage. Her opera, a retelling of Cinderella (灰姑娘), premiered (首次演出) in December 2016, in Vienna, Austria.‎ ‎“I’ve loved Cinderella since I was 3,” Alma said. But she felt the story needed an improvement. “I didn’t like the thing about the shoe,” she says. “Why should the prince find her because of her feet?”‎ In Alma’s version (版本), Cinderella is a composer. She creates a melody (旋律) that she sings to the prince before fleeing the ball. “He remembers the beginning but not how it went on,” Alma says. The prince realizes that only Cinderella would know how the melody continues. He uses that knowledge to find her.‎ Alma began writing the opera when she was 8. It premiered on December 29, 2016, and the audience stood up and cheered. Alma played the piano and violin and performed in the show. “It was something that was completely inside my head, in my imagination, and then it came to life,” Alma says.‎ Alma says she is sure that music will remain a major part of her life. “I have lots of things that I want to compose,” she says. “The first one is a piano concerto (协奏曲). Then I’m writing a novel, and I want to write a movie based on it, and the music for that.”‎ She also has advice for kids who want to achieve their big dreams. “It’s a lot of work to reach a high level,” Alma says. “But if you love what you are doing, it doesn’t feel like hard work. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing it.”‎ ‎24．What does the author mostly want to tell us about Alma Deutscher in Paragraph 1?‎ A．She is a cute girl.

B．It disappointed the audience.‎ C．It set a good example for other kids. D．It was something in Alma’s imagination.‎ ‎27．What can we learn from Alma’s advice to other kids in the last paragraph?‎ A．Knowledge is power. B．A good beginning is half done.‎ C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Nothing is difficult if you’re enthusiastic.‎ C I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. In the end ,I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”‎ Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”‎ I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”‎ ‎“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”‎ ‎“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”‎ Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”‎ I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.‎ ‎28．The writer argued with his son because ______________.‎ A．he liked tortoises while his son liked hares B．they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish C．he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally different opinion D．he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.‎ ‎29．Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.‎ A．won the race by his own hard working B．took a risk by agreeing to run a race C．was not given a fair chance in the race D．in fact did win the race luckily ‎30．Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.‎ A．boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father B．boys who Sonny has run races with before C．boys who Sonny has never raced with before D．boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again ‎31．According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?‎ A．The tortoise B．Sonny C．The hare D．Sonny’s father D Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.‎ The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.‎ Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.‎ ‎“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”‎ The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation ( 发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.‎ This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.‎ If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.‎ All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.‎ Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on ‎ just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments.‎ ‎32．How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?‎ A．Excited. B．Nervous.‎ C．Confident. D．Casual.‎ ‎33．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?‎ A．The mixing of two stages. B．Adding yeast on Earth.‎ C．The preparation work on Earth. D．Fermentation and carbonation.‎ ‎34．What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?‎ A．It has been designed based on similar experiments.‎ B．It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.‎ C．It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.‎ D．Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.‎ ‎35．What does the author think of the students ’ idea?‎ A．It seems like a pipe dream. B．It’s extremely complicated.‎ C．It’s meaningful and hopeful. D．It’s creative but impractical.‎ 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。‎ Are you always embarrassedat social events？Or do you often struggle (挣扎)to enter into conversations because you are shy？If so，your social life and career may have been influenced in some way. 36．Then，you’ll be able to enter into conversations with confidence.‎ Behave like a social person.
