• 2．I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra （管弦乐队） teachers came into Miss Newell's third-grade classroom. "You have hands for the viola（中提琴），" Miss Ciano told me.I was excited because my hands were finally good for something.I told my parents I wanted to play，and naturally，they agreed.
     Since I first touched the viola，I haven't been able to put it down.Ignoring the difficulty，I am pulled closer to it each day.
     Classical music is truly my best friend.It is the trusted friend of every man，woman and child.Various feelings are expressed in classical music.I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto （大提琴协奏曲） of Bach in a competition，the first movement was joyful，but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain.From the piece，I learned that music expresses not only feelings，but also sudden mood changes.By listening to classical music，I know that someone else shares these feelings.Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music，I am comforted by it when I am upset.It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period.Classical music can express my joy，sadness and anger.
     Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone，even music teachers，could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument.I'm certain they told me I had " viola hands" not because they were fortune-tellers（算命师），but because there was a lack of violists in our district.Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind.If you get introduced to it in the right way，it will become your friend for life.
  
  （1）What's the author's purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs？

  
  A．To introduce an interesting musical class.
  B．To offer the evidence of her gift for music.
  C．To show the importance of proper guide.
  D．To tell the power of support from parents.
  （2）According to the passage，in what way does classical music help the author？

  
  A．By developing social skills.
  B．By improving mental health.
  C．By broadening life experience.
  D．By building close relationship.
  （3）What does the underlined word "gullible" mean in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Easily tricked.
  B．Firmly loved.
  C．Greatly challenged.
  D．Secretly hidden.
  （4）Which could be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Special event，sweet memory.
  B．Classical music，endless friendship
  C．Lifetime dream，great effort.
  D．Happy childhood，unforgotten experience.

• 3．As the U.K.jye.ai nations across the world mourn （哀悼） the death of Queen Elizabeth II，several aspects of the queen's 70-year reign have been resurfacing over the past few days.From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch （君主） .According to some experts，part of people's attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping （名人崇拜） .
     The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary，as opposed to the banality （平庸） of one's own life，Cheryl Thompson，an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University，told Global News.
     Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people，adding that many are attracted by their lavish weddings，seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows. "People have grown up hearing about fairy tales with princes and kings and queens，" she said. "So，you would imagine the castle has to be amazing compared to the two-bedroom apartment that you live in with your family …that whole idea of having servants upstairs，the luxuriousness of the dinner table — just brings all of that back into people's imagination."
     Cele Otnes，head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois，said the Royal Family is "a complex brand" that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.
     "They are a global brand that people love all over the world"，explained Otnes.
     "They're luxury"，she said.People far and wide are "very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family."
     "I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy，she didn't show off her wealth."
  
  （1）According to Thompson the fairytaleish aspect of the Royal Family lies in

  .
  A．their life style
  B．their political performance
  C．their charity image
  D．their social status
  （2）Which is not the reason why Otnes said the Royal Family is a different complex brand？

  
  A．Because they are very likely to call our attention.
  B．Because they live a luxurious and admirable life.
  C．Because they willingly donate their wealth to the charity.
  D．Because they are very modest with their fame and wealth.
  （3）What's the passage mainly about？

  
  A．mourning the death of the queen.
  B．showing our admiration to the queen.
  C．analyzing the popularity of the queen.
  D．stating the global importance of the queen.
  （4）How is the passage organized？

  
  A．By reasoning.
  B．By giving examples.
  C．By listing facts.
  D．By quoting experts' ideas.
