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 doesnt 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 cant 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 note 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 cant play it. Samuel says confidently, “Its all about super memory I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuels ability to remember things doesnt 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 doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.16.

The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and MusicBWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs and businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities (配套设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time,the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water, all of which cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.20. Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.21.The underlined word “inhabitants” probably means _.A. touristsB. passengers C. population D.citizens22. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. the author doesnt like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism muchD. we cant build too many support facilities23. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _.A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their life第二节：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。（E涂AB， F涂BC， G涂CD）The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 24 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.1.

I will tell you a true story of my own.Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific 29 ; I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my 30 . “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.” 31 a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him. 32 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery.

One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 35 fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26.

After thirty, I 45 , most people do not want to take risks or try 46 ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso.

Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public
