二、阅读理解
At first sight,Alma Deutscher,a thirteen year old girl from England appears to be like any other typical preteen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first full length opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average.Though her parents downplay (不予重视)her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.
Alma's 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 (情歌)— 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 eleven year old 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.”
Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an 18 month old toddler,she was able to hum a perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
However,Alma's abilities only gained international attention in 2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing 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 composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared 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 thirteen year old is changing the world of music forever!

三、语法填空
I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate 1. a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me.I said hello 2. him,smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought,“Why not offer him a piece of chocolate?” So I did.He was quite 3. (surprise),but accepted and thanked me.He said that people didn't usually do things like this for 4. (stranger)—at least that was what I understood,because he was speaking a really 5. (usual)dialect,and the train was loud.
Then he opened one of his bags and gave me 6. handful of freshly picked cherries,7. (explain)that he had just taken them from his orchard.The cherries were really lovely,better than those in the shops,and I enjoyed them very much.It 8. (be) just an impulse(冲动)to offer him a piece of chocolate,but if I had not done so,I would never have tasted those lovely cherries,9. I didn't even know he had at the time.Life is about giving and taking,and it's 10. (general)true that if you give,you will receive.

一、单词拼写
1.crew
2.dangerous
3.Tragically
4.shuttle
5.suspended
二、阅读理解
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“But this modest youngster...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。
2.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第一句“However,Alma's abilities...after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.”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。
3.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。
4.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star...They would instead prefer her to be called ‘a composer and musician’.”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。
三、语法填空
1.when 考查连词。hardly...when...意为“一……就……”,为固定用法,故用连词when引导时间状语从句。
2.to 考查介词。say hello to sb.意为“向某人问好”,符合语境,故用介词to。
3.surprised 考查形容词。此处是过去分词作形容词,在句子中作表语,修饰人。
4.strangers 考查名词复数。根据语境可知,此处表示“陌生人”,应用名词形式stranger,又因stranger是可数名词,故用复数形式。
5.unusual 考查形容词。根据上文中的“at least that was what I understood”可推知,老人说的方言很不同寻常。
6.a 考查冠词。固定搭配a handful of意为“一把……”,符合语境,故用不定冠词a。
7.explaining 考查非谓语动词。explain和主句谓语动词之间没有连词,故空格处应用非谓语动词,且和句子主语he之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式explaining。
8.had been 考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,“我”出于冲动给他一块巧克力,早于他给“我”樱桃。故用过去完成时。
9.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作had的宾语。定语从句的先行词为cherries。
10.generally 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,故填generally。
四、书面表达
Dear Chen Hui,
I'm sorry to learn that you intend to drop out for high stress. As one of your friends, I hope that you can give up the idea.
First of all, you should have a right attitude towards stress. Stress is a small part in our normal life. Second, I suggest you calm down and find out the cause of your stress and manage to come up with ways of dealing with it. As to how to reduce stress, you may take exercise, listen to music or turn to your teachers or classmates for help.
I hope that you can take my suggestion into account and I'm convinced that you will make a right decision.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
