She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who posed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.Almas operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then elevenyearold skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on.”Almas musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18monthold toddler, she was able to hum a perfect version of the childrens rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Almas abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online paring her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a poser and musician”Alma does not want to be pared to the famous artist either, saying “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the thirteenyearold is changing the world of music forever!语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。13岁的Alma有音乐天赋，18个月时就能哼唱一闪一闪小星星，6岁时创作了她的第一部音乐作品，7岁时创作了第一部短歌剧，被人们誉为“小莫扎特”。1. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?AShe es from a famous musical family.BShe showed a great musical talent from a young age.CShe regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.DShe has adapted some famous works of classical music.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“But this modest youngster, who posed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average”可知，Alma Deutscher自小便显示出了惊人的音乐天赋，故B项正确。2How did Alma get to be widely known?AThrough an online video.BBy performing on television.CBy putting on an opera.DThrough her parents promotion.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第六段的第一句可知，2012年Alma家的一位朋友在网上发布了一个视频，将Alma比作莫扎特；此后她的能力受到了国际关注，故A项正确。3What is Almas attitude towards her success?AShe is still unsatisfied with her performance.BShe is unfortable with so much pressure.CShe is modest about her musical achievements.DShe is proud to have bee a professional musician.解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，在人们将她比作莫扎特时，Alma不愿和这位著名的音乐家相提并论，她认为世界上只有一个莫扎特，而她更喜欢人们叫她“小Alma”；据此可以判断，面对人们的赞誉和自己的成功，Alma很谦虚，故C项正确。4What can we infer about Almas parents?AThey are very welleducated people.BThey are protective of their daughter.CThey have pushed Alma to take up music.DThey have made a good life plan for Alma. 解析：选B推理判断题。根据第六段的后三句可知，Alma成了一夜成名的“小莫扎特”，但这个绰号让她的父母不高兴，因为他们认为这会给这个小女孩带来额外的压力，他们宁愿她被称为“作曲家和音乐家”。据此可以判断，Alma的父母是爱护她的，故B项正确。B(2019广州综合测试)The belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological change that takes place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist (经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of puters.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than the one that has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not e as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in ines that acpany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, goods and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real ines for workers. Higher ines then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higherlevel skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the predictions and to reduce peoples fears.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。历史上曾经发生过多次预测技术的发展导致人们失业的事情，现在这个论调又被提起；数据显示，事实上新技术的发展并没有导致工作总量的减少。5What is the function of the second paragraph?ATo explain the importance of developing new technologies.BTo show how the technology affected employment in the past.CTo argue that technological dangers are being more serious.DTo give historical examples of unnecessary fears about new technologies.解析：选D细节理解题。通读第二段可知，该段列举了英国经济学家、美国政府和澳大利亚历史学家的预测，时间分别为20世纪30年代、20世纪60年代和1988年，他们都预测新技术的发展会导致工作职位的减少；由第三段可知，所预测的这些情况都没有发生；据此可以判断，该段旨在举例说明我们没有必要担心新技术的发展，故D项正确。6How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?AConfusing.BReliable.CStable.DVariable.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句可知，就业统计数据显示，在过去的二十年里，工作人员的比例、工作时间和换工作的频率一直保持着惊人的稳定；据此可以判断，在过去的二十年里，就业统计数据是稳定的。C项意为“稳定的”，故C项正确。7According to Paragraph 7, why does demand for other products often increase after new technologies are introduced?AThere are more goods for people to choose from.BThere is more demand for new skills in the economy.CProductivity improvements help raise workers salaries.DHigher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第七段的第二、三句可知，生产效率的提高使工人的工资上涨，这是产品需求增加的原因，故C项正确。8What is the authors opinion about the introduction of new technologies?AIt does not have an effect on most peoples jobs.BIts benefits are usually not worth the introduction.CIt usually leads to a significant increase in employment.DIts danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者认为人们夸大了引进新技术对失业的影响，故D项正确。.阅读七选五(2019兰州诊断)What is friendship?
