Pianist Jean-Francois Maljean has released a piano piece to commemorate (纪念) the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which kicked off with a grand opening ceremony held at the National Stadium on Feb 4. Titled For Beijing Olympics, the piano piece, which is about 3 minutes, was asked by the Chinese embassy in Belgium, with the aim of celebrating Chinese New Year and welcoming the Winter Olympics. He also wrote a song to support Wuhan in its fight against COVID-19 in 2020 and another song for Xi’an in December.
Born in Verviers, Belgium, Maljean started to learn the piano at age 6. At about 12, the classically trained pianist became interested in a diverse range of musical genres (类型), especially pop music like that of The Beatles.

He had planned to compose a song and English author Robert Murray, the pianist’s friend, even started to write the lyrics ( 歌 词 ) about the Olympic Games. However, due to the short time, Maljean ended up just composing a piano piece, which was later released in the form of a music video featuring images of winter sports. “I think the piano piece works even better than a song. Since winter sports mainly give an impression of speed, I composed a mostly very fast piece, though there are some slower moments. And it works very well,” says Maljean, 68, who recorded the piece at his own studio in Belgium. Maljean recalls that he visited the capital and spent some time in China, where he was featured in a documentary for Belgian television. He traveled to many places in China, including Changchun in Jilin province, Guizhou province and Shanghai, and landed in Beijing to visit Olympic sites.
24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The introduction of Maljean.
B. The masterpieces of Maljean.
C. Maljean’s works about China.
D. Maljean’s contribution to music.
25. What do we know about Maljean from the passage?
A. He is a great skiing enthusiast.
B. He is a classical music composer.
C. His documentary was filmed in Belgium.
D. He travelled to several Chinese provinces.
26. Why does Maljean think the fast piano piece is better than a song?
A. Because it reflects the features of winter sports.
B. Because he is more expert at composing pop music.
C. Because it contains Chinese classical music elements.
D. Because the lyrics are not in accordance with the music.
27. Which of the following best describes Maljean?
A. Generous and patient. B. Talented and caring.
C. Simple and independent. D. Adventurous and sensitive.
C
Take a good look at the American burying beetle. Once found in
35 states, the insect is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the American burying beetle has orange and black stripes ( 条 纹 ); like the tiger, the beetle is declining in number. The tiger is an instantly
recognizable symbol of species preservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.
This difference is an example of the domination (支配) of the so-called celebrity species
— the fascinating creatures that nonprofits and government agencies use to raise public interest in conservation. Most nonprofit funds for animal protection go to species such as apes, elephants, big cats, rhinoceroses, and giant pandas. Tigers are often rated the most popular animal — and India, home to the majority of these big cats, spent more than $49 million on tiger conservation alone in 2019. Meanwhile, many lesser known species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds weaken in namelessness. Worldwide, more than 35,500 plant and animal species are on the edge of disappearing forever.
This leaves us with a tough situation. Conservation is underfunded, so how do we decide which species to save?
One potential solution, the debatable idea of conservation triage (验伤分类), holds that
experts need to quickly decide which species can be saved while realizing that others can’t be saved. Conservationists have developed analytical tools to approach the question in a less emotional, but more practical way. Fish and Wildlife Service now uses this knapsack ( 背 包 ) method — inspired by a hiker’s need to fit the most valuable items into a small space — to get the “most bang for their buck” in saving species. The method calculates the most efficient conservation strategies using factors such as costs to recover a species and its likelihood of going extinct.
28. Why is the burying beetle mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To propose a definition. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To reach a conclusion. D. To present an argument.
29. What is the author’s attitude to the lesser known species?
A. Concerned. B. Unclear.
C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
30. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. To make the best efforts. B. To take the strictest measures.
C. To maximize the benefits. D. To avoid the worst dangers.
31. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?
A. Causes of some animals’ endangerment.
B. Other methods of deciding which species to save.
C. The authorities’ role in reasonable use of funds.
D. An appeal for saving the American burying beetle.

Such rapid-onset boredom could indicate that the kids have amazing powers of recall. A new study shows that the better your short-term memory, the faster you feel bored and decide you’ve had enough. The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research. “Though boredom can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological side of boredom, like when you’re just tired of something.” Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business, and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of the same things at very different rates. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference might have to do with memories of past consumption. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they’re asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.
The findings suggest that marketers could use our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract (使分心) us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by immersing (使沉浸) ourselves in the memory of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to be fogged (模糊的) about it — it might help them have more fun.
32. What can be learned about the rapid-onset boredom from the passage?
A. It is a physical reaction after lunch.
B. It is more likely to happen to children.
C. It is closely related with short-term memory.
D. It occurs physically first and then psychologically.
33. How may people take advantage of the findings?
A. Help kids eat more by sharing their feelings about food.
B. Recall activities’ details to improve kids’ memorizing ability.
C. Talk less about previous snacks to reduce junk food consumption.
D. Keep consumers from remembering experiences to promote goods.
34. How does the author make the findings easy to understand?
A. By making comparison. B. By analyzing data.
C. By describing processes. D. By giving examples.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Good Memory Makes for Boredom
B. How to Invent Interesting Activities
C. Boring Activities Do Harm to Kids’ Memory
D. Physical Boredom Affects Psychological Feelings
