He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions (作曲). The last 30 years of Beethovens life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethovens music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist (风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court (宫廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors (前辈), Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.21.

It has 1,000 rooms. It is 185 meters long and 120 meters wide. The buildings unique roof itself weighs about 15 tons. The Sydney Opera House provides guided tours to 200,000 people each year.The opera house was designed by John Utzon, a famous Danish architect. In the late1950s the Australian Government held a competition for the design of the Sydney Opera House. Utzon won the competition and the building began in 1959. However, he spent a few years improving the design. In 1961 he finally solved the problem of how to build the unique roof. The design was a shock at that time. In 1966 he left the project. The building was finally completed by others in 1973. The Sydney Opera House was opened by Queen Elizabeth on October 20th, 1973.The Sydney Opera House reaches out into the harbor.

D. Science . CIts been said that diving can be addictive, yet I was unsure about it when my three friends and I began to plan our trip to learn scuba diving (水肺潜水). What if I tried it and hated it? But our one-week trip to Moalboal, Philippines, at the end of June proved me wrong.It wasnt a typical trip by the sea, with bathing suits and afternoons at the beach. Instead, we spent our first morning sitting in a room watching teaching videos. The rest of the days we would practice what wed learned from the video with our instructor, first in the pool and then in the sea.Every day, we had to dress ourselves up in a tight diving suit and a jacket with a heavy tank on the back. This wasnt how most people would imagine spending their vacation, but we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only did we get to enjoy beautiful views under the ocean, but we also felt less like tourists and more like professional divers as we learned more skills each day. Of course,wed been in the sea before, but this was more than just diving in life jackets - we were able to get away and explore underwater, swimming with beautiful sea creatures. The experience also allowed us to get to know ourselves better. When we had to fully concentrate on our breathing - even a little bit of difference in the amount of air we breathed in or out could change our buoyancy (浮力) - we started to realize how wed been taking it for granted and had never truly felt ourselves breathe.Now that Ive been back for over two months, I no longer have any doubt about the attraction of diving. In fact, my friends and I are already planning another diving trip during the Spring Festival, probably to the Red Sea in Egypt.28. How did the author feel about the diving at first?A. Positive. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.29. What did the author do at first in the process of learning scuba diving? A. He practiced diving directly in the sea.B. He wore bathing suits and walked at the beach.C. He watched teaching videos to learn how to dive.D. He watched other divers go scuba diving in the sea.30. According to Para.3, the author _.A. got pleasure from scuba divingB. will go to Moalboal againC. became a professional diver at lastD. gained a lot of skills in surviving under the sea31. It can be inferred that the author _.A. quite likes diving on his ownB. has been attracted by diving deeplyC. thinks scuba diving is an easy skill to learnD. knew the importance of breathing from his earlier diving experienceDA rain-forest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dropping below 16. Rain-forests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest covering, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rain forests may also influence wind and rain-fall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rain-forests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affect the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rain-forests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large areas of rain-forests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the worlds wood supply.Rain-forests are often called the worlds drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rain-forests. However, fewer than 1% of rain-forest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rain-forests.32. Rain forests can help to adjust the climate because they _.A. reflect more heat into the atmosphereB. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldC. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth33. What does the underlined word “this” in Para.3 refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can get.B. Humans have begun destroying rain forests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rain forests.34. According to the passage we can learn that _.A. rain-forests provide human beings with much-needed oxygenB. many natural problems are caused by rain forestsC. over a quarter of the medicines we use are related to the rain-forestD. people destroy rain-forests mainly for medicine 35. What might be the best title of the text?A. How to Save Rain-forestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rain-forests and the EnvironmentD.

Thats because childrens eyesight can change very rapidly at this stage of their lives. 38 Staring at your smart phone or computer screen or TV for hours is not good for your eye health, says a research by the University of Toledo. The studys lead researcher Dr Ajith Karunarathne says we shouldnt be checking phones or tablets in the dark, because this can dilate (使扩大) the pupils making them more easily damaged. Forgetting to wear sunglasses 39 . Not so says O Brien. UV (紫外线) is still a problem on cloudy winter days and can still damage your eyes. Your eyes are even more likely to get sunburned than your skin. Its just as good an idea to wear a pair of sunglasses on a sunny December morning as it is on a hot July afternoon.Over-using eye dropsEven though you want to use eye drops when your eyes are red and swollen (肿胀的), you cant use too much, say experts, as plenty of eye drops can lead to some side effects.What should we do instead? “ 40 ,” says O Brien. If, for example, your eyes are dry because of cold winter weather and central heating, buy a humidifier (加湿器) and try not to sit too close to the heater.A. Staring at your smart phoneB. Wearing glasses for too longC. Try to find the cause and deal with itD. Add a blue light screen cover to your phoneE. You might think you dont need sunglasses in winterF.
