Last month, Tom heard about an unknown local band. He was curious and decided to listen to their music. To his surprise, the melodies of their songs were really unique and the lyrics were full of the spirit of youth. The theme of their music was about chasing dreams, which touched Tom’s heart.
Tom’s music teacher, Miss White, is a famous classical musician, She noticed Tom’s enthusiasm (热情) for rock music but also advised him to learn some classical music.

How music takes us back to our past
It has happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio and we are immediately taken back to a time in our past. But what is it that makes music so effective at doing this There are a few things that link tunes (曲调) with our memories.
Paul Donoghue, writing for ABC News, reminds us that the emotional nature of music helps make it impressive. Kelly Jakubowski, an assistant professor in music psychology (心理学), adds that music and singing are often part of many important life events and that it is also very effective in catching our attention. All these mean that music and these events are likely saved together in our memories.
The music itself is not hard to forget. Tiffany Jenkins tells us how throughout history oral (口头的) cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs. The rhythm, melody and lyrics all serve as memory aids. She goes on to say that pop music especially can be connected with a special moment in time. As Shahram Heshmat, writing in Psychology Today highlights, we often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music.
Jakubowski, tells us that the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is at bringing back memories. This applies to music more than other cultural products because we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.
Heshmat points out that our musical preferences usually form when we are young, and this is the same as what many experts call the “reminiscence bump”, which is when we make our strongest memories from the age of 10 to 30.
It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help some patients get memories that they thought they had lost.
13．According to Paul Donoghue, what makes music impressive
14．How do oral cultures often pass on knowledge
15．What kind of music can be easily linked to a period of time
16．According to the passage, how is music different from watching TV or films
We hear songs than watch films or TV programs
17．When did people form their musical preferences
18．What is your favourite song What memory does this song call back

(On Saturday, May 19th 2018, millions of people around the world watched as Prince Harry married the American actress Meghan Markle in Windsor Castle, in front of 600 guests. As they signed the marriage register, a young cellist played three pieces of classical music.)
It was a dream come true for 19-year-old Sheku Kanneh-Mason. It was the biggest performance of his short professional career so far, and a sign that he was quickly becoming one of the most admired classical musicians in the world.
This wasn’t Sheku’s first performance in front of the prince. A year earlier Harry was in the audience for a charity concert in London. Perhaps it was Shcku’s performance at this concert that resulted in his royal invitation. The following April an excited Sheku announced on Twitter that Meghan had phoned him to see if he would like to play at the wedding.
Sheku has been playing the cello since he was six. He is one of seven children in an amazingly talented family from Nottingham, England. Sheku and his six brothers and sisters are all extremely talented classical musicians. His eldest sister, Isata, won a scholarship to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London to study the piano. A few years later, Sheku followed her when he gained a place at the same institution to study the cello. He was only nine years old. He has been performing with Isata and his older brother Braimah for many years. In 2015, they decided to enter the talent show Got Talent. Their performances on the show were watched by several million people and they reached the semi-finals. A year later Sheku entered the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition and became the first black musician ever to win the award. He was just 17 years old. As a result of this success, he also got a contract with the music publishing company Decca to record an album.
In 2018, he released his first album, Inspiration. The album spent four weeks in the UK top 40 charts and it contains many famous classical pieces. Sheku also includes classical versions of songs by Bob Marley and Leonard Cohen on the album. It has introduced a younger audience to classical music.
The future is looking bright for Sheku Kanneh-Mason!
19．What does the underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refer to
20．It wasn’t Sheku’s first performance in front of Prince Harry, was it
21．Where did Sheku study the cello when he was nine
22．Who did Sheku perform with on the talent show Got Talents
23．Why was he offered a record contract
24．Fill in the blank with a proper title for the passage.

Over a hundred years ago people in London were surprised to see a very unusual boat come sailing up the Thames River. The boat was eighty feet long, flat-bottomed, with big wooden eyes on both sides in the front and was colourfully painted at the back.
People came to know that it was a sailing boat from Fuzhou in distant China. The boat had sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, up the western coast of Africa and finally to England. It had covered fifteen thousand miles — more than half of the distance around the world.
Although it was unexpected, the Chinese were warmly welcomed. The boat carried goods (货物) such as silk and tea as well as a number of gifts from the Emperor of China for the Queen of England.
People had always mistakenly thought of the Chinese as a people who were not used to the sea. However, from centuries of trading and sailing in dangerous seas, the Chinese had learned how to build good boats and sail them well.
The coming of this sailing boat to London proved once again the Chinese could sail to distant countries in the world.
25．When did the Chinese sailing boat arrive in London
26．How long was the boat
27．How many miles did the boat travel to London
28．What did the Chinese learn to do at that time
29．What did the writer want to prove in the passage

Taylor Swift has finished the European part of her Eras Tour with a record-breaking show at Wembley Stadium. It was packed full of surprises there. It was Swift’s eighth concert at Wembley this summer — overtaking (超过) a record for any solo singer. The record was previously held by Michael Jackson during his Bad Tour in 1988.
“You just made me the first solo artist to ever play Wembley eight times in a single tour,” she told her fans. “We will never, ever be able to thank you enough for it.”
The star’s eighth Wembley show also saw her equal the overall record for the most nights at the stadium on a single tour, set by Take That on their Progress Tour in 2011.
The London dates marked a high point, with Swift playing there more times than any other city on her tour. “I’ve always loved playing for you here in London, but this is the best,” she said. “I’ve never had it this good before. I’ve never had a crowd that’s so generous. You seem to have remembered every single lyric of every single song and that’s a dream come true.”
She made the final show count. She invited Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, the lead singer of a famous British rock band. Apart from that, she played two “surprising songs”. They weren’t a regular part of the setlist. Swift then continued the acoustic set (原生演奏) at her piano, with the first live performance of So Long, London, from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
The tour is a big success and here is the big question: What will Swift do then
30．How many times did Taylor Swift have a concert at Wembley
31．When did Take That have their Progress Tour
32．What does the underlined word “dream” refer to
33．Who is Florence Welch
34．What made Swift’s final show special (Please list at least two points)

The Power of Words
In a quiet town, there was a small park where kids loved to play after school. One day, five friends—Emma, Liam, Sarah, Noah, and Mia—found an old, dusty book in the park. The book was called The Power of Words, and it had a strange note inside: “Speak kindly, and the world will listen.” Emma read it loudly to her friends.
Curious, they decided to test the book’s message. Emma, who was usually shy, whispered a compliment to Liam about his soccer skills. Liam smiled and felt more confident. Later, Liam told Sarah how much he liked her drawings. Sarah, who often doubted her talent, felt encouraged and started sharing her art with others.
Meanwhile, Noah noticed Mia sitting alone, looking sad. He walked over and asked, “Are you okay ” Mia opened up about feeling left out at school. Noah listened carefully and then said, “You’re not alone. We’re here for you.” Mia felt better and joined the group to play.
The next day, the five friends decided to spread kindness at school. They started by writing nice notes and leaving them in their classmates’ lockers. Soon, the whole school was buzzing with positivity. Kids who never talked before started saying hello, and even the teachers noticed how much happier everyone seemed.
One afternoon, the friends returned to the park and found the book was gone. In its place was a new note: “You don’t need magic to communicate kindness. Just use your words.” They realized the book had taught them something important: words have power. A simple “thank you,” “I’m here for you,” or “you did great” could make someone’s day.
From that day on, the five friends made it their mission to use their words to help others. They learned that communication wasn’t just about talking—it was about listening, understanding, and caring. And in their small town, kindness became the loudest voice of all.

Do you think it is necessary to know something about people’s communication ways When you speak, write a letter or make a phone call, your words carry messages. People communicate with words.
Do you think you can communicate without words A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hands in class, your teacher knows you want to ask or answer questions. You shake your hand and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films can help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
