Write a speech
[A]Have you ever faced a time when thing as looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure.My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live.I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged.Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music.and one of the songs was "Happy".
The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time.[B]John A.Logan said,"Music is the medicine of the mind" And it's true.Music helped me recover.

[C]Music gave me happiness.When I listened to music,[D]it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind.[C]Music gave me strength and brought me relief. [E]It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover,[C] music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction.[F]It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being.
Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me.I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.
Thank you!

四、阅读理解
Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical. At home, his dad never listened to music, while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴)on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank. Horam caught himself thinking. “How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets ”
The question preoccupied him, because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said: “You know what, Dad It can’t be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments. He was surprised. “There can’t be music in me, because I can’t play! ”he said.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.”
They went to a session at their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation(即兴表演),responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says: “My harmonica plays me-how I feel, what I am, what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”
1．Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford
A．To recall the good old days.
B．To beg food from passers-by.
C．To live his childhood dream.
D．To collect money for charity.
2．What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability
A．Positive.
B．Disapproving.
C．Doubtful.
D．Unclear.
3．What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do
A．Enjoy the quiet.
B．Listen to his heart.
C．Express himself.
D．Sharpen his hearing.
4．What does music bring to Horam
A．A lost soul.
B．A comfortable life.
C．A broader circle of life.
D．A new perception of family.
五、读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a little girl, I knew that I had a gift for music. Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practicing my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me.
I had spent months practicing and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, mom held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.”
I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the center of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness.

Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach. My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly, “Just enjoy it, honey!” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes. I got up, climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience. I tried my best to keep calm. I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath and started to play. To my delight, everything seemed unbelievably smooth.
Suddenly my fingers slipped and I hit a wrong note. I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh. “Just enjoy it!” Mum’s words echoed in my ears. I continued playing as if nothing had happened. Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again. Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation. Though I didn’t win the champion, I knew I had learned something more valuable. I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself.

本文以我弹钢琴为线索。我喜欢弹钢琴，并且为Alberta音乐比赛准备了很久，当时在台下等的时候我变得越来越紧张，手指不受控制，一直颤抖。此时母亲在旁边安慰我，并让我认真欣赏。此时我就注意到了台上的一个男孩，冷静，自信地弹奏着，舒适的音乐回荡在这个音乐厅。渐渐地，我就忘记了自己的紧张。就在这时主持人宣布，该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来……
[详解]
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“主持人宣布该我弹奏了，我又开始紧张起来”可知，本段可以写在主持人叫到自己的名字后，母亲鼓励我，我尽自己最大的努力冷静下来，然后开始演奏。
②由第二段首句内容“突然我手一滑，弹错了一个调”可知，本段可以写我弹错曲调后，观众的反应以及我如何应对。最终提出自己的感想。
2.续写线索：主持人宣布该我弹奏→我开始紧张→母亲鼓励→我鼓起勇气，开始演奏→弹错曲调→观众的反应，我如何应对→赢得掌声→感悟。
3.词类激活：
行为类：
努力做某事：try my best to do→make great efforts to do→endeavor to do→attempt to do
深呼吸：took a deep breath→breathe deeply
沉浸于：be absorbed in→be immersed in→be buried in→soak oneself in
情绪类：
紧张：thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach→be overcome with nervousness
失望：disappointment→letdown→disillusion→despair
[点睛]
[高分句型1] I continued playing as if nothing had happened.（这句话使用了as if引导的虚拟语气做状语。）
[高分句型2] Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation.（这句话使用了when引导的时间状语从句以及which引导的非限制性定语从句。）

Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. When it comes to music, we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome shortcomings. When failing in the middle exam, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no efforts to study hard. Finally, I made great progress in the final exam. From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for listening.
