Music is universal. Take a moment to think about what music you like as you read our beginner’s guide to the history of music.
Middle Ages
The Middle Ages, which ranges from the 6th century to the 16th century, featured medieval (中世纪的) music. During this time, there were two general types of music styles-the monophonic and the polyphonic. The main forms of music included Gregorian chanting and plainchant.
Classical Period
The music forms and styles of the Classical period, which ranges from 1750 to 1820, are characterized by simpler melodies (旋律) and forms like the sonatas. During this time, the middle class had more access to music. So composers began to create music that was easier to understand. Most especially, Mozart wrote his first symphony and Beethoven was born during this period.
Romantic Period
Historiographers define the Romantic music period to be from 1800 to 1900. Music forms of the Romantic period used music to tell a story or express an idea. Various instruments including wind instruments were used. Instruments that were invented or improved during this time included the flute and the saxophone.
The 20th Century
Music during the 20th century brought about many innovations on how music was performed and appreciated. Artists were more willing to experiment with new music forms and used technology to improve their compositions. The 20th century music has various styles.
1. In which period can Mozart’s composition be found?A.Middle Ages. | B.Classical period. |
C.Romantic period. | D.The 20th century. |
A.It had a history of 70 years. |
B.Musicians only used wind instruments. |

A second-grade education has not stopped garbage collector Jose Gutierrez from bringing the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian children. Gutierrez started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago. He was driving a garbage truck at night through the country’s wealthier neighborhoods. The discarded (丢弃的) reading material slowly piled up. And now the ground floor of his small house is a makeshift (临时的) community library with about 20,000 books ranging from chemistry textbooks to children’s classics.
He says books are luxuries (奢侈品) for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods such as his. New reading material at bookstores is too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota. It is a city of 8.5 million people. But the libraries tend to be located far away from poorer areas. “This should be in each corner of every neighborhood, in all the towns and all the rural areas,” says Gutierrez. “Books are the poor children’s lifesavers. And that is what Colombia needs.”
The 53-year-old Gutierrez has a love of reading that he says comes from his mother. She always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. Up to now he has traveled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to share his experience of starting a library with discarded reading material. And his fame as Colombia’s “Lord of the Books” has also brought him thousands of donated books.
Gutierrez is an enthusiastic reader of works by authors such as Leo Tolstoy, Victor Hugo and Mario Vargas Llosa. He says he does not reject technology that allows books to be read digitally. But he prefers to read the printed word on paper. “There is nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car.” he says.
4. What do we know about Jose Gutierrez from the first paragraph?A.He was fond of reading. | B.He was poorly educated. |
C.He was devoted to the poor. | D.He was against discarding books. |
A.Books are vital to children in poor areas. |
B.The distribution of public libraries is very uneven. |
C.Children in poor areas are in desperate need of books. |
D.There is a serious shortage of bookstores in poor areas. |
A.Because he is well known. | B.Because he is a great traveler. |
C.Because of his love for reading. | D.Because of the influence of his mother. |
A.Supportive. | B.Doubtful. | C.Interested. | D.Tolerant. |
For more than 5,000 years, chopsticks have been the preferred dining utensil (用具) of a sizable swath of humanity. Nowadays, around a third of the global population uses chopsticks daily. This is both a fact of life and these implements are often single-use, a serious environmental problem.
Every year, around 80 billion pairs find their way to landfills. “In Vancouver alone, we’re throwing out 100,000 chopsticks a day,” says Felix Böck, founder of the Vancouver-based startup ChopValue. “They’re traveling 6,000 or 7,000 miles from where they’re manufactured in Asia to end up on our lunch table for 30minutes.”
Since 2016, Böck has been on a mission to rethink disposable chopsticks. Rather than try to eliminate them, the engineer has been building a circular economy by giving them a second life. In their home base of Vancouver, company staff pick up around 350,000 used chopsticks from 300-plus restaurants every week, all of which become book shelves, cutting boards, coasters, desks, and custom decorations. According to Böck, the startup has saved more than 50 million pairs of chopsticks from landfills since its launch.
“Once you see the volume, you think maybe that little humble chopstick can be the start of something big,” Böck says. “My expertise is in bamboo, so I always looked at chopsticks differently. I used to joke to my friends that I would make something out of chopsticks, since most of the ones we use in North America are made of bamboo.”
Chopsticks are far from the only disposable dining implement to come under scrutiny in recent years. From plastic straws to polystyrene takeout containers, many components of our food cycle sacrifice environmental impact for convenience.
“I think change starts small, and change can be a very relatable thing that we all know from daily life,” Böck says. “Right now, we’re focusing on the chopstick because it’s a very powerful story.”
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.The excessive use of the disposable chopsticks can cause a serious environmental problem. |
B.Using chopsticks presents a threatening environmental issue. |
C.Chopsticks aren’t preferred dining tool for people until nowadays. |
D.Chopsticks can’t be used many times. |
A.To destroy them | B.To recycle them. |
C.To decorate them. | D.To resell them. |
A.knock out | B.kill off |
C.throw out | D.remove completely |
A.A book review. | B.A medical journal. |
C.An environmental magazine. | D.A biography. |
Using AI to manage customer service is a trend that we will increasingly see more of. However, that’s not to be confused with completely replacing human interaction when it comes to customer service. So what does that mean? Does it mean the world of CS will soon be overrun by robots?
In fact, all customer service interactions have two axes (轴): emotion and urgency. New AI tools are rapidly emerging in the support space that can address high-urgency situations quickly, but when it comes to high-emotion situations, no AI can deal with them successfully. A robot might be able to recognize you’re trying to check in for a flight that was recently canceled, but the emotional axis is entirely un-programmable. Perhaps the flyer has increasingly high emotions around the flight being canceled because she is flying to a business meeting for an important occasion. Instances like this, regardless of how small or large the case is, can create high-stress moments for the customer. Only a person can comprehend the difference.
High-stress moments are the ones that stick with customers forever, so it’s important to have a plan in place. What separates the best companies is a keen sense for determining which customer service functions AI can handle on its own and which cases need to be handled by a human with AI assistance. For inquiries that are high on emotion, there’s no substitute for the personal touch of a human. Passengers whose luggage is lost are going to seek out an employee to help them locate their bag. Although AI can be used to locate that bag, it’s too emotional of an interaction to remove the human element.
The conversation around AI now is too focused on the question of how AI can replace agent interaction, which is missing the point. The aim of AI shouldn’t be to replace human interaction, but to improve human interaction. The question from here won’t be how far we can push AI, but how we can use our imagination to continue reinventing the problem-solving process.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.A lead-in. | B.A summary. | C.A comment. | D.A background. |
A.He can balance emotion and urgency. |
B.He can understand customers’ feelings well. |
C.He can handle urgency more quickly. |
D.He can tell the difference of various emotions. |
A.High-stress moments are very important for customers. |
B.High-stress moments require more AI tools. |
C.High-stress moments are unforgettable for customers. |
D.High-stress moments are ignored by most companies. |
A.Try to invent more new AI tools. | B.Replace humans with new AI tools. |
C.Pay attention to problem-solving. | D.Avoid making trouble for customers. |
During winter, when it is cold and freezing outside, all we want to do is stay wrapped up in our blankets and remain in bed.
To understand the need for hibernation, we first must understand the difference between endothermic and ectothermic organisms. Ectotherms are those animals whose body temperatures depend on the surrounding temperature.
On the contrary, endotherms can regulate their own body temperature by generating internal heat. They are capable of maintaining their physiological body temperature in a stable range, regardless of the changes in the environment. Endotherms adjust their metabolic heat production and insulation to stay warm, whereas during hot weather, they sweat to cool down. Endotherms are capable of maintaining a steady temperature as compared to their changing surroundings. They are called “warm-blooded” animals, and include mammals and birds.
A.Conversely, they seek shade to cool down. |
B.A cup of noodles or hot chocolate also helps. |
C.Most animals usually try to gain as much weight as they can before they hibernate. |
D.Hibernation is an energy-saving adaptation to protect against unpleasant conditions. |
E.Thus, many animals hibernate to save energy and survive these bad winter conditions. |
F.Metabolism is the process through which our body changes the food we eat into energy. |
G.This means that they depend on their external environment to regulate their body temperature. |
