And somewhere outside Atlanta, he met a man who was crying because his wife had recently died and he had no one to talk to. "For three hours we sat in his garden," Kellogg says. When I left, he said, "Thank you." I realize now that my life will go on.

Can you imagine a world without music Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them,students’ academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in maths and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by the College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programmes in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other troubles. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally, they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
8. What can we learn about education with music classes
A. It allows schools to make more profits.
B. It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily.
C. It helps students to improve their schoolwork.
D. It has a great influence on the culture of the country.
9. What do the two studies seem to show
A. Not all students take part in music lessons.
B. Students with great success like to attend music lessons.
C. Music plays an important role in students’ success.
D. Students having music classes are better in all lessons.
10. The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________.
A. different cultures have different styles of music
B. music makes cross-country communication possible
C. Japan has a good international relationship with America
D. Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano
11. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Get Music Back B. Music Education in Schools
C. Music—a Bridge to Understanding D. The Importance of Listening to Music

Gordon Brown today announced that he will use the law to stop supermarkets giving away free plastic bags within the next 12 months.
Supermarkets that do not voluntarily start charging customers for plastic bags are expected to be punished to pay an extra tax of at least 5p a bag.
Brown made his pledge (保证) as the Guardian revealed that government departments handed out nearly one million special-made plastic bags themselves, mostly in connection with publicity campaigns.
Writing in the Daily Mail, which this week launched a war to cut the use of plastic bags, the prime minister said that "over time we should aim to get rid of the single-use plastic bag altogether".
In a speech last November, Brown urged shopkeepers to cut the use of plastic bags. In his article he praised Ikea, which has cut its bag use by 95% recently, and Marks & Spencer, which this week announced that it would ask for a 5p charge on bags from May.
The prime minister said that he was now willing to use laws to ensure that other stores followed the Marks & Spencer's lead.
"I am convinced we need to act — and the time to act is now. And I want to make it clear that if government law is needed to make the change, we will take the necessary steps. We do not take such steps lightly — but the damage single-use plastic bags inflict (强加于) on the environment is such that strong action must be taken. The important thing is to come up with a scheme that will be of most benefit, most quickly — and ideally at the same time provide funds for organizations that help protect our environment."
Brown said he was reminded of the scale of the problem every week when he saw the number of bags supplied with his family shopping.
"Like many working families with children Sarah and I often use supermarket deliveries for the weekly shopping. And as millions of others in Britain who do the same, we are left with a bin full of plastic bags in the end, with each bag sometimes just containing a handful of items. This cannot be right."
Brown revealed that the government had been looking at the way other countries were dealing with the problem.
"We are looking at all this international evidence to see what steps we in Britain should take," he said.
12. Where can readers most probably find this passage
A. Shopping information magazines. B. Business magazines.
C. Professional plastic industry papers. D. Common daily newspapers.
13. What or who is the Ikea
A. Government officials in charge of the plastic industry.
B. Common people voluntarily avoiding using plastic bags.
C. Department stores supporting the action in this country.
D. Producers making plastic bags.
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Marks & Spencer will charge for the plastic bag from this May.
B. Some stores have been punished for not charging for plastic bags.
C. Supermarkets will only charge 5p for each plastic bag.
D. Other countries have been carrying out the action successfully.
15. When people ask for home deliveries, supermarkets will put their goods in ________.
A. few bags B. too many bags
C. a bin D. a wrong bag

Brown made his pledge (保证) as the Guardian revealed that government departments handed out nearly one million special-made plastic bags themselves, mostly in connection with publicity campaigns.
Writing in the Daily Mail, which this week launched a war to cut the use of plastic bags, the prime minister said that "over time we should aim to get rid of the single-use plastic bag altogether".
In a speech last November, Brown urged shopkeepers to cut the use of plastic bags. In his article he praised Ikea, which has cut its bag use by 95% recently, and Marks & Spencer, which this week announced that it would ask for a 5p charge on bags from May.
The prime minister said that he was now willing to use laws to ensure that other stores followed the Marks & Spencer's lead.
"I am convinced we need to act — and the time to act is now. And I want to make it clear that if government law is needed to make the change, we will take the necessary steps. We do not take such steps lightly — but the damage single-use plastic bags inflict (强加于) on the environment is such that strong action must be taken. The important thing is to come up with a scheme that will be of most benefit, most quickly — and ideally at the same time provide funds for organizations that help protect our environment."
Brown said he was reminded of the scale of the problem every week when he saw the number of bags supplied with his family shopping.
"Like many working families with children, Sarah and I often use supermarket deliveries for the weekly shopping. And as millions of others in Britain who do the same, we are left with a bin full of plastic bags in the end, with each bag sometimes just containing a handful of items. This cannot be right."
Brown revealed that the government had been looking at the way other countries were dealing with the problem.
"We are looking at all this international evidence to see what steps we in Britain should take," he said.
12. Where can readers most probably find this passage
A. Shopping information magazines. B. Business magazines.
C. Professional plastic industry papers. D. Common daily newspapers.
13. What or who is the Ikea
A. Government officials in charge of the plastic industry.

C. a bin D. a wrong bag
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。介绍的是放假时选择待在家里休息这一种新的放松方式。作者介绍了在家休息的好处和如何让在家休息变得有趣的几个方法。
【16题详解】
根据下一句“As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time”（作为一个新的单词，在家休息是指人们在休假的时候呆在家里，）可知，上句是要引出这个“在家休息”这个新单词。C项：但为什么不呆在家里享受度假呢？符合文意，引出下文。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上一句“ There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however.”（然而任何积极的事情都有缺点，）可知，下文说明呆在家里的缺点，以及“You also might prevent yourself from enjoying things to the fullest,”（你也可能阻止自己尽情享受），D项：如果你是在家休息，你可能会接到工作单位的电话。符合文意，且D项中的“also might prevent”与上文一致，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下一句“It means you won’t be available for work or other activities.”（这意味着你将无法工作或进行其他活动。）可知，前面做的事情能够避免同事朋友的打扰。G项：诀窍是要确保你的朋友和同事知道你正在进行居家度假。符合文意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据下一句“You would have done it on a vacation, right Treat yourself to this, at least for one day! ”（你会在每一个假期都会这样去做，对吗？至少有一天这样对待你自己！）可知，这是第二条的建议，让在家休息有趣。A项：每一餐都在外面吃饭。符合文意。选项言简意赅，短小精悍。故选A。

【点睛】高考七选五解题方法
1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。
2.分析句型，了解语法构成。
3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如20小题，根据下一句：最重要的是去做会让你和你的家人兴奋的事！可知此处表达的意思是：确保所有的一切都很开心，当它结束的时候，你会感到精神振作。根据句意可知可知此处填的是一个完整的句子，故选F。
4.明确关联关系：任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如17小题，根据上一句：然而任何积极的事情都有缺点。可知接下来要讲是在家休息的缺点，因此可知在空格上表达的意思是：如果你是在家休息，你可能会接到工作。故选D。
5.带入通读，复查：做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。

【答案】Water Shortage in China
With the rapid development of our country, more and more water is needed. But in fact, water shortage has become one of the most serious concerns in China.
As far as I am concerned, the reasons of water shortage are as follows. For one thing, while the population of our country is becoming larger and larger, the amount of water does not increase. As a result, the seriousness of water shortages becomes apparent. For another, with the notable development of modern industry, many new factories have sprung up. They need a large amount of water.And meanwhile, they let out much sewage which will do great harm to our environment.
As we all know, nothing is more important than to keep the balance of ecosystem, so we must do something to stop the serious phenomenon. On one hand, every one of us should have a strong sense of responsibility for the world we live in. It is very important to save every drop and we should plant more trees to avoid soil erosion. On the other hand, our government should pay close attention to this phenomenon and carry out some effective policies to solve it.
I believe, with the great effort from our government and all the citizens, we will make it some day.
