[2020·郑州市第三次质量检测] I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in financial trouble, so she said politely, “Sorry, son, but we can't now.”
I searched the measurements on the Internet for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one — keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my Grade 1 after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn't afford lessons again. I passed Grade 3, and then Grade 5, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me — it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time that I played for her and she was in shock.
My school didn't offer music A­level. I found The Purcell School for young musicians, but the tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the composer. I was at a loss. But to my amazement, I was offered a place. At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and academic music prize. I'm now at the Guildhall School of Drama & Music in London. I feel proud － it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.
Surprisingly, I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano, which we call mental practice. The paper piano helped promote my curiosity about how music works.

[2020·昆明市“三诊一模”高考模拟考试] When our Scottish puppy (幼犬) reached doggie adolescence, she suddenly stopped obeying my commands. Our dog trainer advised us to stop worrying. “She's a teenager，” she said. “She'll grow out of it.” Now, a new study is backing that up: Dogs experience an extremely sensitive period at the beginning of adolescence that makes them act out, just like human teenagers.
To see exactly how adolescence changes dog behavior, the researchers monitored 70 female German shepherds raised as potential guide dogs. They asked caregivers to score the puppies on their attachment and attention­seeking behavior, such as sitting very close to their owner or displaying a particularly strong bond for one person.
Dogs with high scores on either scale entered adolescence earlier — at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Various reasons cause human teenage girls with poor parental relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs that have tense relationships with their caregivers see changes in their reproductive development.
To test obedience (顺从), the scientists assessed a separate group of 69 guide dogs, first at 5 months and later at 8 months. They asked the dog's caregiver and a stranger to give the command to “sit”. All of the preadolescent puppies quickly sat for both people, but when the same puppies reached adolescence, many “repeatedly” refused to follow the order from their caregiver. However, they readily and annoyingly obeyed the stranger. Dogs that weren't securely attached to their caregivers were even more willing to follow the stranger's commands － again, much like human teenagers.
Because of the similarities between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans, the scientists say. And on a more practical note, the temporary nature of dog disobedience might make us worry less when our puppies suddenly get minds of their own.
4．What makes the Scottish puppy disobey its owner?
A．Its being treated badly.
B．Its naughty nature.
C．Its relation with the owner.
D．Its being adolescent.
5．What do the scores in the study suggest?
A．Higher scores probably mean earlier adolescence.
B．The lower the score, the tenser the relationship.
C．A puppy with a lower score could be a guide dog.
D．A girl scoring higher gets on well with her parents.
6．What is the result of the obedience test?
A．Human teens have a strong bond with puppies.
B．Puppies enter adolescence at the age of 5 months old.
C．The 69 guide dogs can understand caregivers well.
D．Adolescent dogs without enough care prefer to follow the stranger.
7．What's the potential significance of the study?
A．To understand your dog's behavior.
B．To better study human adolescence.
C．To show the process of research.
D．To help pet owners solve a puzzle.

[2020·潍坊市高三第一学期期末] Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. __1__ Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
•__2__ Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that's not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must­see” “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.
•Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling — from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane's window seat. But sometimes things don't go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. __3__ Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key.
•Don't disappear. When travelling with a group — or even just one other person — you may want some alone time. That's completely fine, but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you. __4__
•Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone. __5__ After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!
A．Give each other some space.
B．Include at least one activity for everyone.
C．And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.
D．At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them.
E．Don't respond to non­urgent work contact or send messages frequently.
F．It's especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.
G．So it's important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page.
