For 18 years after her retirement，Deng Xiaolan volunteered to teach music in a village in Fuping county，Hebei province.Her inspirational teaching and the enthusiasm and talent of her pupils made the 44 children from Malan village sing the Olympic anthem （颂歌） in Greek at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Feb，which were one of the highlights of the night.
Deng's involvement with the rural children can be dated back to her parents.Her father Deng Tuo was the publisher of Jinchaji Daily，a newspaper which was based in Malan village in Fuping county，Hebei province，from 1939 to 1948.During the Japanese aggression （侵略），19 Malan locals were killed for refusing to divulge information about the newspaper.Under the influence of her parents，who both had a passion for music，she learned the violin and singing when she was young.She joined the school band after entering Tsinghua University，and also taught her workmates to play the violin after graduation.
In 2003，when Deng Xiaolan returned to the village to remember the persons who were killed by Japanese invaders，a group of local children also attended the ceremony.She wanted to sing a song together with the children in commemoration （纪念仪式），but none of the children knew the well-known songs she named.
"If the children couldn't sing，then they wouldn't know how to appreciate music.Life would be so colorless if it doesn't have music，" Deng said. "My parents lived and fought here when they were young，and they wanted the locals to live a happy life.So I thought if I had the chance，I must teach them to sing."
Deng began to travel between Beijing and the village since 2004 to teach the children music.She collected instruments and also rebuilt the school houses by raising funds and using her own money.As the children had no background in music，she had to teach them basic music knowledge.
Two years later，she formed the Malan Band.Among more than 200 students taught by Deng，many left the mountainous village to receive university education，some of whom are studying art at university or have entered a career in art education.

2．Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星） and comets，as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons，delivered by stars like Bruce Willis，to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality，if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock，the safest and best answer might be something more subtle，like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening，when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous，which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared，the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned，they said，with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell，our first planetary defense test was a success，" said Elena Adams，the mission systems engineer，who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test （DART） ，a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months，scientists said，before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course，probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks，especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully，none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered，and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson，NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
（1）How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully？
A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
（2）What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft？
A．To search for evidence of alien life.
B．To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C．To save the world and deliver a drama.
D．To test technology for defending Earth.
（3）What can be inferred about Dimorphous？
A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.
（4）Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with？
A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.发布：2024/12/11 2:0:1组卷：7引用：4难度：0.5 -
3． While famous foreign architects are invited （1）
（lead） the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts，many excellent Chinese （2）（architecture） are making great efforts to take the center stage.

Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art （CAA） .His office （6）（locate） at the Xiangshan campus of the university in Hangzhou，Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original （7）（create） .
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and （8）good knowledge of traditions.Through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture，said Tadao Ando，the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
"Today，many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing. （9）Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing （10）they really are，" said Wang.发布：2024/10/23 6:0:3组卷：6引用：1难度：0.5
