Hello Mr. Parkes,
I own a piano that I would like to have restored. It is one of the very first Steinway & Sons pianos
produced, and dates back to the late-1800s.
I would like to have the piano fully restored. This restoration will involve the piano’s internal
mechanics (机械部件) as well as the piano’s wood, which has a rough surface. The piano stool (琴凳)
will also need restoring. Remarkably, all of the piano’s keys are still in perfect condition.
As I would probably qualify for free pickup and delivery, could you also tell me which transport
company you use?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Benjamin Rothschild

Leaving Earth and entering space was once a dream that only highly trained pilots could achieve.
But with the rise in space tourism, we might be able to observe our planet from on-high by the end of this
year.
The US spaceflight company announced on Feb 25 that tickets for its future private commercial
space tourism flights would be on sale again. This has come 14 months after its first successful test flight
of its spacecraft called VSS Unity.
The company said that it would begin a process called “One Small Step”, which allows people to
book a place online to become a passenger on an upcoming flight for $1, 000.
But while Virgin Galactic’s mantra ( 信条) is to make it easy for everyone to get into space, it is
currently only available to the wealthiest one percent. Among these confirmed famous figures are
Canadian singer Justin Bieber and US actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
For this, passengers will receive one of the six available seats on VSS Unity capable of reaching
Mach-3 (three times the speed of sound). They will be treated to a suborbital ( 亚轨道的) view of Earth
from at least 80.5 kilometers and will float in zero gravity (重力) for a few minutes before gliding back
to the ground.
“We are at the vanguard (前沿) of a new industry which will open space to everybody,” said Virgin
Galactic’s founder Richard Branston.
Speaking to CNBC, the company’s CEO George Whitesides said, “The plan is to have five
spaceships by 2023 ... and we do desire to build next-generation Mach-3 vehicles that can go point-to-
point like regular airliners.”
This dream may sound like something out of Star Wars. But with ever-increasing investment and
growing public interest, who knows what kind of space advances you may witness in your lifetime.
24. What can we learn about VSS Unity from the text?
A. It will open its flight reservation.
B. It is cheap and available to most people.
C. It can seat hundreds of passengers per flight.
D. It is a private spacecraft developed within 14 months.
25. Passengers on VSS Unity will __________.
A. travel at the speed of sound B. get an excellent view of the moon
C. experience a bit of weightlessness D. enjoy Justin Bieber’s beautiful songs
26. What is the author’s attitude toward the private commercial space tourism flights?
A. Uninterested. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Optimistic.
27. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Life in outer space. B. Space tours for all?
C. Exploration or tourism? D. Pilots’ dream coming true.
C
When I was growing up my family was very poor. One year, we celebrated Christmas late because
Dad needed to construct a tree from the roadside branches he could find the week after the holiday.
Money was a hard-to-come-by thing.
By the time I was in primary school, I had become creative in obtaining money. I used to go to the
local flea market on Sundays. On one such visit, I noticed a woman selling a popular toy, the Chinese Yo-
Yo, ten for a dollar. I thought I could risk a buck, and I bought ten. By the end of the week, I sold all
ten… each for a dollar. When I returned to the market the next Sunday, I reinvested my ten dollars and
bought a hundred more.
Being in a difficult financial situation taught me perseverance (坚持不懈) and adaptability early on.
I am an elementary school teacher, and every day I see our children are being handed far too much.
Second graders are getting the iPhone for their seventh birthdays.
Kids also procrastinate and wait until the last moment to work on their Mission Projects. As a result,
Dad runs out to the store, buys everything his daughter needs the night before the project is due, and he
stays up long after the late night talk shows，making his daughter’s school project.
How can our kids persevere when Mom and Dad clear all of life’s obstacles (障碍)? How can kids
push through and be creative and innovative when they are handed everything they desire?
I have seen parents who are struggling financially put themselves deeper in debt in order to clear a
path for their children. This isn’t just bad news for parents and their finances—kids never get the
opportunity to problem-solve, to figure things out, to come up with ideas, to engage their brains and feel
empowered once they have moved themselves ahead.
28. The author’s family celebrated Christmas late one year possibly because __________.
A. their father was out of work
B. their father had to clear the roadside branches
C. they couldn’t afford a Christmas tree
D. they father didn’t finish his work before Christmas
29. What can we learn from the author’s experience in making money?
A. Kids can easily earn a lot of money.
B. Hardship teaches kids something valuable.
C. Business encourages and inspires kids’ creativity.
D. It’s important for kids be independent of their parents.
30. The underlined word “procrastinate” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.
A. adapt B. recover C. progress D. delay
31. What does the author advise parents to do?
A. Go through thick and thin with kids.
B. Set proper and practical goals for kids.
C. Let kids overcome their own obstacles.
D. Give kids chances to try a different lifestyle.
D
The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S. Poet Laureate ( 桂 冠 诗 人 )
Louise Gluck. The prize committee mentioned “her unmistakable poetic voice that with plain beauty
makes individual existence universal”. Being the first American woman to win the award since Toni
Morrison in 1993, Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobelists who include, in this
century, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro, Chinese magical-realist Mo Yan, etc.
Gluck’s works include 12 collections of poetry and a couple of volumes of essays on literary
writing. “All are characterized by trying hard to achieve clarity. Childhood and family life, the close
relationship with parents and brothers or sisters is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders
Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said. “She seeks the universal, and in this
she takes inspiration from myths (神话) and classical themes,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection
Averno, which the committee described as “masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of
Persephone’s fall into hell in the captivity of Hades, the god of death”.
As a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, Gluck also served as U.S. Poet Laureate from
2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems
titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the extraordinary return of life after winter in the poem
Snowdrops,” the Nobel literature committee said Thursday. She also won the 2014 National Book Award
for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night. In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities
Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.
The publicity-shy Gluck did not immediately make any comment about the latest honor for her body
of work, which lasts more than half a century. In a recent interview, she acknowledged that prizes can
make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (不朽) of a true artist.
32. What do we know about Gluck in Paragraph 1?
A. She shared her works with other literary figures.
B. She won the Nobel Prize for her special literary style.
C. She has been awarded Poet Laureate many times.
D. She is less well-known than Chinese novelist Mo Yan.
33. Gluck’s poems mainly focus on __________.
A. daily life B. quiet countryside
C. classical myths D. successful careers
34. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To show Gluck’s contributions to literature.
B. To prove Gluck’s strong interest in writing.
