His father, Johann Beethoven, also a musician, wanted his son to be a genius and encouraged him to develop his musical talents. Johann was so determined to make his son into a successful musician that he would pull poor Ludwig out of bed in the middle of the night and force the young boy to practice piano until the early hours of the morning.At the age of eleven, Ludwig van Beethoven received professional piano and composition training in Bonn, and within ten years he became well known in Vienna for his imagination when creating music on the piano. He continued to live there and became very interested in the construction of pianos, which developed into the modern grand concert piano.Things changed for Beethoven in 1798 when his hearing was becoming impaired. He composed the First Symphony and Septet Op 20 and performed them on April 2, 1800, and it won great success. However, his hearing continued to worsen, and he began to separate himself from his family and friends in order to avoid conversation.After the performance of his Ninth Symphony, he turned around to see the warm applause of the audience and broke down in tears when he realized that he couldnt hear them. Fighting against depression (抑郁) and a disorder, Beethoven continued to produce music by using special equipment that helped him to hear his symphonies. This equipment was a thin stick connected with the soundboard of his piano. Biting it, he was able to feel vibrations (震动) of sound. The music that he created during this period was filled with heroism and struggle, and went on to become his most famous compositions.4. Why did little Beethoven play piano at the midnight?A. He showed musical talents for music.B. He was interested in playing the piano.C. His father pushed him to practice his musical skills.D. He was determined to realize his music dream.5. What does the underlined word “impaired” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Recovered.B. Constructed.C. Damaged.D. Developed.6. Why did Beethoven get separated from his family?A. He didnt want to talk with them because of his worsening hearing.B. He had to receive treatment because of his depression.C. He was busy in composing the First Symphony and Septet Op 20.D. He had to fix his attention on practicing piano.7. What do we know about Beethovens most famous compositions?A. They were played by special equipment.B. They reduced depression and the disorder of Beethoven.C. They were composed before Beethoven went deaf.D. They were filled with heroism and struggle.CA typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing (人员配备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?8. How do schools often shorten the school day?A. They reduce childrens lunch time and lesson breaks.B. They reduce the teaching time.C. They properly adjust children natural rhythms.D. They increase more holidays.9. Whats the purpose of the children short lesson breaks according to the text?A. To supervise children more easily. B. To make children quickly take in what they. Learned.C. To reduce childrens excitement. D. To make children behave better in class.10. What can we learn about later school start time from the text?A. It will add to the teachers pressure. B. It has always been there for 25 years.C. Parents may support it. D. It benefits the students only.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. The benefits of a less stressful day. B. The benefits of later school start time.C. How to solve teenagers sleep problem. D. The reasons why teenagers sleep differently.DLooking fashionable feels good. However, did you know that doing so could be extremely bad for the planet?Making clothes requires lots of energy. For example, cotton fields have to be watered. Jeans must be dyed (染色) and then dried. According to scientists, making 1 kilogram of clothes produces 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average.However, clothes are spending less time in shops and at homes than ever. Consumers (消费者) today keep almost every article of clothing only half as long as they did 15 years ago. That causes a large amount of waste.Some clothing companies and designers have realized this problem. H & M, for example, was the worlds largest buyer of “better cotton” last year. The cotton needs less water to grow. It also requires fewer pesticides (农药). The Swedish brand has also stopped using a chemical that pollutes the environment when making waterproof (防水的) clothes. Nike, meanwhile, has invented a new method of making shoes. It reduces waste by 60 percent compared with traditional cutting and sewing.More long lasting clothes could help, too. Tom Cridland is a British designer. The clothes that he designs all go through a special treatment. Cridland says they can last more than 30 years.Unfortunately, not all clothing companies and designers, think they should be responsible for the environment. Some companies do not care about their carbon footprint at all.What can we do? In some western schools, students are encouraged to fix their jackets and trousers. Clothing companies there send vans to campuses to help them do it. Another solution is to think twice the next time we buy new clothes. Some clothes may not look very fashionable, but they could be good for our planet.12. According to the passage, making 50 kilograms of clothes produces about kilograms of greenhouse gases.A. 23.B. 115.C. 230.D. 1,150.13. What is the difference between “better cotton” and traditional cotton?A. “Better cotton” can grow without water.B. “Better cotton” grows faster than traditional cotton.C. “Better cotton” is more environmentally friendly.D. “Better cotton” is more productive than traditional cotton.14. In order to protect the environment, what have some clothing companies and designers been doing? Using new material. Helping students mend clothes. Measuring their carbon footprint. Designing clothes that can last longer.A.B.C.D.15. What does the author advise us to do in order to help protect the environment?A. To stop buying clothes;B. To wear fewer clothes at home.C. To ask clothing companies for help when our clothes are torn.D. To buy clothes made by companies that care about their carbon footprint.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给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。Winter is a really fun time of the yearits great to have snowball fights and build snowmen, 16 When its cold outside and youre not prepared, you can feel uncomfortable.
