She loves to climb trees, dance, read, and draw. But Alma, who lives in Dorking, England, can claim one very special achievement. She has composed a full opera and brought it to the stage. Her opera, a retelling of Cinderella (灰姑娘), premiered (首次演出) in December 2020, in Vienna, Austria.“I’ve loved Cinderella since I was 3,” Alma said. But she felt the stor y needed an improvement. “I didn’t like the thing about the shoe,” she says. “Why should the prince find her because of her feet?”In Alma’s version (版本), Cinderella is a composer. She creates a melody (旋律) that she sings to the prince before fleeing the b all. “He remembers the beginning but not how it went on,” Alma says. The prince realizes that only Cinderella would know how the melody continues. He uses that knowledge to find her.Alma began writing the opera when she was 8. It premiered to a sold-out crowd on December 29, 2020, and got a standing ovation (起立鼓掌). Alma played the piano and violin and performed in the show. “It was something that was completely inside my head, in my imagination, and then it came to life,” Alma says.Alma says she is certain that music will remain a major part of her life. “I have lots of things that I want to compose,” she says. “The first one is a piano concerto (协奏曲). Then I’m writing a novel, and I want to write a movie based on it, and the music for that.”She also has advice for kids who want to achieve their big dreams. “It’s a lot of work to reach a high level,” Alma says. “But if you love what you are doing, it doesn’t feel like hard work. Don’t let anyone stop you from doing it.”4．What does the author mostly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A．Alma Deutscher lives in Vienna Austria.B．Alma Deutscher is a cute girl.C．Alma Deutscher is always ready to help others.D．Alma Deutscher has a special music talent.5．What can we learn from Alma’s version of Cinderella?A．The prince finds Cinderella because of her shoes.B．The prince finds Cinderella because of a melody.C．The prince sings a melody to Cinderella before her fleeing the ball.

Well, you are not alone. We’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don’t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.Liars also use deflection(偏差). For example, if you ask a liar the question “Did you steal Fatima’s bag?” they may answer with something like “Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?” In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their lie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven(编造); silence gives no feedback o n whether or not you’ve bought the story. If you’re a goodlistener, you’ll already be avoiding interruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold(展开).Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often.8．According to the passage, a person could be lying if he or she ________. A．offers more information than necessaryB．appears to be shy or nervousC．changes the subject of the conversationD．speaks very fast and vaguely9．Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A．Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies. B．We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation. C．Liars are often expansive (扩张的)in hand and arm movements while talking. D．We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation. 10．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．who deceives (欺骗) us B．why people tell liesC．how to detect (发现) lies D．what to do with liars第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
