Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the
piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and
Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in
parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece
Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his
teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even
realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his
parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and
music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother
played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start
playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes
easily to me -I hear the notes and can bear them in mind-each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more
than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now
learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says
confidently,” It’s all about super memory-I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that
even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the
story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For
now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.
24. What is special about Samuel Osmond?
A. He has a gift for writing music.
B. He can write down the note he hears.
C. He is a top student at the law school.
D. He can play the musical piece he hears.

Sixth formers are to be quizzed on whether they can cook five hot meals and how often they
should change their sheets, as part of a government-backed scheme to prepare them for university.
Ministers are urging schools to put on special workshops for students aged 16-18 to ensure they
feel comfortable with the prospect of leaving home.
The course, designed by the university accommodation provider Unite Students, will teach
students how to manage their finances and how to live independently. According to the course
materials, teachers should ask students questions which may not have occurred to them, such as
“what is the price of a litre of milk?” and “list 5 hot meals you can cook from scratch” and “how
often will you wash your sheets once you move out of home?”
Damian Hinds, the Education Secretary, said, “We are all very conscious that moving away
from home and going to university is one of the most exciting things that happen in your life but it
can also be very daunting. “He said that an important part of education is preparing children for
adulthood so “it is right that we teach them what to expect for life after leaving school”. Mr. Hinds
said that when he got to university, he discovered he had relied on his mum more than he realised
he did, adding “I wish I could have cooked better”.
Earlier this year, ministers set up a new task force called the Education Transitions Network.
It is part of a drive by the Department for Education to address the rise in students who report
mental health issues during their time at university.
Data released earlier this year showed that the number of students declaring mental health
problems on arrival at university has surged. Figures obtained via freedom of information requests
showed a 73 per cent rise between 2014-2015 and 2017-2018 in students stating that they had a
condition such as depression or anxiety before starting their university courses.
28.What might be included in the course materials?
A.How to balance a budget.
B.How to prepare for exams.
C.How to concentrate on study.
D.How to do physical experiment.
29.Why does Mr. Hinds mention his own experience?
A.To show his love for his mother.
B.To admit himself to be a bad cook.
C.To present the worrying part of the college life.
D.To emphasise the necessity of this new course.

Who're happier,men or women?Research shows it's a complex question and that asking
whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful,because basically,happiness is
different for women and men.
Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years , according to recent
statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared
with men.Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that
biological,psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express
different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness,warmth and fear,which help with
social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver,while
men display more anger,pride and disrespect,which are more consistent with a protector and
provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially ,but also genetically
related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas
of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror
neurons allow us to experience the world from other people's view,to understand their actions and
intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to
experience more negative feelings , such as more guilt , shame and to a lesser degree ,
embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express
feelings.With the exception of anger,women experience feelings more strongly and share their
feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more
appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women's
happiness is more dependent on relationships than men's.
32.Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?
A.Warmth. B.Depression.
C.Happiness. D.Disrespect.
33.What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?
A.Psychological factors.

B.Biological factors.
C.Educational factors.
D.Social factors.
34.One can probably read the text from .
A.a science fiction
B.a culture brochure
C.a nursery guide
D.a health magazine
35.What is the text mainly about?
A.Men and women differ in biology and psychology.
B.Men and women experience happiness differently.
C.Social roles have a great effect on men and women.
D.Women's happiness has declined in the past years.

As fear exists in China and the world over the spread COVID-19 ( 新 冠 肺 炎 ), business
owners worldwide are all feeling the pain. Uncertainty and lack of confidence have always been
among the big enemies of economies. And now the universal economy is still under great pressure.
__36__
As countries issue warnings and travel bans, the tourism and services are most affected. In
2018, around 140 million Chinese made outbound trips according to the China Tourism Academy.
_37__ It is thus not surprising that local hotels, restaurants and travel agencies in cities like New
York and London are also suffering losses from the virus fallout.
According to a New York Times report, Chinatown in Manhattan has seen business drop of 50
to 70 percent. A hotel owner who relies on Chinese customers said that the loss could be well over
100,000 dollars and climbing. Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, is also warning that the
outbreak could pose a “new risk” to the US economy.
The economic cost of the COVID-19 outbreak is growing and hard to estimate ( 估 计 ).
__38__ During the 2003 SARS which lasted around 8 months, it is estimated that economic losses
worldwide affected by the outbreak were over 30 billion dollars. The ripple effect (连锁反应)
spread across the Atlantic to Toronto, the most severely affected area in Canada. It is estimated
that the city lost about 950 million dollars due to the restrictions on travel.
__39__ It started in Mexico and America in 2009. While the Americas were most affected by
the virus, research has also found that the economic cost of the virus in Korea was as high as 1
billion dollars.
In this interconnected world, any pandemic (流行病) is worldwide. Various economists have
pointed out that most economic costs are not related to the virus directly, but the panic over it.
第 10 页 共 13 页
Lack of confidence can also worsen the fragile world economy. __40__
A.But one can always learn from history.
B.It's time to ban the wildlife trade for good.
C.The last thing the world needs is a virus outbreak.
D.China is a much bigger economy than it was in 2003.
E.The same thing also happened during the H1N1 outbreak.
F.In recent years they have created about a quarter of tourism jobs worldwide.
G.So, it's very important for countries to work together to control its outbreak.

When she was 22 years old, Pat Jones decided to travel around the world and see as many
foreign places as she could when she was young. When she finished college at home in Britain,
Pat chose to visit Latin America first. She managed to get a job as an English teacher in a
secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her
students even though they did not know much English.
A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind : If you dream in a foreign
language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and
she hoped that someday she would dream in
Spanish and they would dream in English.
One day, Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish
that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early, but slept badly. Pat was
quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his
homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English.
“In English!” Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She
was also jealous (嫉妒的). Her dreams were still not in Spanish,but she decided to encourage her
student and asked him to tell her about his dream.
“All the people in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English.
All the newspapers, magazines and TV programs were in English,too.”
“ But that’s wonderful!” said Pat. “What did all the people say to you?” she asked.
“I’m sorry, Miss Jones. That’s why I slept so badly all night. I didn’t understand a word they
said. It is a nightmare (噩梦)!” Tim answered.
