21．（6分）On November 24, 1868, Scott Joplin was born in Texas. He became famous as a ragtime (拉格泰姆音乐) composer and piano player. Ragtime music was an early form of jazz. This music has a lively beat and was developed from the music of African Americans.
Ragtime became popular in the early 1890s, and the music was played on the piano. The piano player usually made up a melody, then changed it a little bit every time he played. Scott Joplin was very good at composing, or making up music and playing the piano. When he was growing up, Joplin’s home was filled with music. Still, Joplin’s father did not want him to be a musician. When he was about 14 years old, Joplin left home to travel and start a life of his own. He traveled all over the Midwest playing the piano and composing music. Sometimes he played with music groups. Other times he sang by himself in noisy saloons and bars. In 1899, Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag, a ragtime song that became a big hit and earned Joplin the title of The King of Ragtime. In all, he wrote more than 500 songs. Joplin’s biggest dream was to compose a ragtime opera. Finally, after 10 years, Joplin completed a ragtime opera which he called Treemonisha. This opera was about a young black woman who became a leader of her people. She tried to help her people gain their freedom and their rights.
1916, Joplin became very sick. He had a disease that made him forget things and become easily afraid of things. In 1917, he was put in the hospital. He finally died there on April 1, 1917. Scott Joplin’s music became popular again in the early 1970s when it was used in a movie called The Sting.

22．（8分）Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001, and 16 years later, we’re just as much in love with this charming, intelligent British girl, as ever. You may or may not be a Potter head, but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson’s perfection.
Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11, she’s never gone the Hollywood spoiled child route. In fact, she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible. She said, “Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight oilier people in a dormitory. Looking back, I think that was crazy.”
She added, “I was very well-educated. My dad paid for me to go to a very good school, so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me. And I did, and I still do.”
If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like, we would say she’d be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two. In the last few years, Emma has added more feathers to her cap than we imagined being humanly possible, which include actor, scholar, model arid UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she’d supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.
Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favorite girl from the Potter universe. “Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”
1、After Emma Watson became an actress, she .
A．followed most of the Hollywood child route
B．had a preference for a normal life
C．became rebellious in a funny way
D．went to a good college instead
2、What does the author mean by “Emma has added more feathers to her cap” in Para 4?
A．Emma has earned more titles.
B．Emma wears a cap with feathers.
C．Emma is expert at designing caps.
D．Emma has been more absorbed in her job.
3、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Emma Watson: You Can Be the Best Actress.
B．Emma Watson: You Can Be a Warrior.
C．The Way to Be a Delicate Princess.
D．The Way to Be a Good Performer.
4、What’s the author’s attitude to Emma Watson?
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Cautious. D．Appreciative,
23．（8分）Shortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew-family, friends and career.
Yet within two years, my parents’ marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn’t even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security. I will never forget the despair in her face that night.
At around 4 am, a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they bundled me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.
In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a clumsy way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.
Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.
Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my life-graduations, entering university, getting a good job-I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.
1、Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?
A．We were waiting for the Chinese men.
B．Mom knew nobody in Australia at all.
C．It was safe to slay there for night.
D．We had no other place to go.
2、How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?
A．Ashamed. B．Shocked.
C．Amused. D．Nervous.
3、What message is conveyed in the passage?
A．There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.
B．It’s the timely help to someone in need that counts.
C．It’s a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.
D．Childhood memory functions to guide present behavior.

25．（10分）A Common Habit Leads to Shocking Harm
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 this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, 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 if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. 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.

A．Increase blood pressure
B．Cause neck and back pain
C．Lead to numbness or temporary paralysis
D．Keep in a twisted position
2、What’s the best explanation of the underlined word “circulate”?
A．Go straight
B．Move around

A．Once you cross your legs while sitting, you’ll feel immediate effects.
