2．While the arts can't stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today，they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos.The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort.Great art often shows us contradictions and crises，and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions（解决）.Through our understanding of art，we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges.In understanding extremes of contrast，we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos.He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced.The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere，from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller's Ode to joy（欢乐颂）.Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles，but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference-a oneness of the two opposing forces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment.An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.

A．It brings people inner peace.

（2）What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No.9？
A．It celebrates freedom and unity.
B．It aims to show crises and chaos.

（3）What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces？
A．Leaving things as they are.

D．Joy in the eyes of Beethoven组卷：3引用：6难度：0.6 -
3．Sleep，considered a luxury by many，is essential for a person's wellbeing．Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions，such as obesity （being very overweight），high blood sugar levels，and heart disease．Now，a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance．
Jeffrey Gross，the university science professor who led the research，was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class．Instead，the professor hoped the wrist-worn devices，which track a person's physical activity，would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement．
While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors，the study found something surprising．As the researchers were analyzing their data，they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes，three midterm tests，and the final exam．
Even more interesting，it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test．Instead，it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most．
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important．Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly，even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student． "When you go to bed matters，" Gross says． "If you go to bed at 10，or 12，or 1 at night，and sleep for seven hours，your performance is the same．But if you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to down even if you get the same seven hours．So，quantity isn't everything．"
Perhaps most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades．The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep．Similarly，students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes．
Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's？
（1）Based on his original objectives，which best describes Professor Gross's research findings？
A．Accidental．
B．Complete．
C．Convincing．
D．Doubtful．
（2）Who were the people taking part in the study？
A．Middle school chemistry students．
B．Volunteers from different universities．
C．Professor Gross's own students．
D．University student athletes．
（3）How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance？
A．Making the students wear a special watch．
B．Using students' university entrance test results．
C．Giving the students regular after class quizzes．
D．Using the students' normal test and quiz grades．
（4）Based on the study's findings，who is likely to perform best academically？
A．A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test．
B．A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p．m．and 12 p．m．
C．A person who sleeps from 11 p．m．to 6 a．m．each day．
D．A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night．组卷：22引用：3难度：0.6

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
"Tickets，please，" I heard，as I stared blankly out of the window at the passing darkness.I fumbled（摸）for my ticket and gave it to the guard when he approacjye.aid.He stamped it，but then just stood there looking at me.I'd been crying，had red eyes and must have looked frightened.
"You okay？" he asked.
"Course I'm okay，" I said. "And what's it got to do with you in any case？"
"You look awful，" he said. "Is there anything I can do？"
"You could get lost and mind your own business，" I said. "That'd be a big help." I wasn't in the mood for talking.
He must have read the danger signals in my body language and tone of voice，but he sat down opposite me anyway and continued to engage me.
"If there's a problem，I'm here to help.That's what I'm paid for."
Going through a mix of emotions at once：denial，anger，guilt，withdrawal，everything but acceptance，I was reaching a breaking point and he had placed himself in my line of fire.The only other thing I could think of to get rid of him was to tell him my story.
"Look，my mum's in hospital，dying，she won't survive the night…this train was going as far as Peterborough，but I would miss the connecting Leeds train by twenty minutes.I'm not sure how I'm going to get home.It's tonight or never，I won't get another chance，I'm a bit upset，I don't really feel like talking，I'd be grateful if you'd leave me alone.Okay？"
"Okay，" he said，finally getting up.
