Evelyn Glennie is a unique musician. She is a percussionist (打击乐手) who plays with classical orchestras. When she performs, she hits the gongs, snare drums, vibraphones, timbales, cymbals, conga drums, bells, and bass drums that are in front of her. Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in concert, Glennie performs in bare feet. What really sets her apart, though, is that she is a musician who cannot hear. Glennie has been almost totally deaf since she was 12 years old. Despite being deaf, she has become the first solo star to play her type of percussion instruments in classical music.
Glennie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. At the age of eight, she started taking piano lessons. She found that she preferred the drums, so she began to concentrate on other percussion instruments. Her doctors were never able to find out why she started to lose her hearing. By the time Glennie was 12, most of her hearing was gone. Glennie stayed in her school and learned to read lips. She also continued her music lessons. She learned how to play percussion instruments by using her sense of touch. She learned to feel the difference between high and low notes. She became very sensitive to the vibrations created by different sounds. Glennie took off her shoes to make it easier for her to feel the vibrations made by her instruments.
Glennie was very talented. At 16 she was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music in London, England. She was the music school’s first solo percussion student, graduating when she was 19. To build her career, she performed anywhere she could. There was very little solo music written for her instruments, so she asked for percussion music to be written for her. She then performed the new pieces in her solo concerts. Glennie attracted attention by performing in radio and television concerts. One 1988 concert was recorded live and made into a CD. This recording earned Glennie her first Grammy Award for a classical music performance.
Today Glennie performs all around the world. In addition to classical orchestras, she plays with folk musicians and rock stars. She has written music for movies, television shows, and commercials. Every year more new compositions are written for Glennie to perform. She has even taken up a new instrument: the bagpipes. Glennie considers herself a pioneer in music, not because she is deaf but because she has become a solo percussion star in classical music.
( ) 24. The reader can tell that the author________.
A. thinks Glennie should wear shoes when performing
B. believes that Glennie should not work so hard
C. believes that Glennie had a gift for music
D. doesn’t like Glennie’s music so much
( ) 25. In the future, Glennie will most likely________.
A. always wear her shoes in concert
B. quit playing classical music in concert
C. learn to play other musical instruments
D. focus on studying the piano again
( ) 26. Which is the best summary of the passage
A. Deaf as she is, Evelyn Glennie is an award-winning solo percussionist who performs mainly classical music.
B. Evelyn Glennie lost her hearing at a young age, and doctors were never able to find out why.
C. Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in concert, Evelyn Glennie performs barefoot.
D. When Evelyn Glennie found that there was little music written for solo percussionists, she didn’t give up.
C
Fine arts are important in the curriculum (课程) because of what they do for learning. In other words, the arts, especially music, should be an important part of every school’s curriculum.
Students would be much smarter if they had some music experience. They would improve their classroom skills, like paying attention, following directions, and taking part actively. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Musicians are better in math, and they get higher SAT (美国高中毕业生学术能力水平考试) scores. While they make music, they use their imaginations, unlike playing video games. It provides students a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students but also gives them something positive to do. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them always playing computer games or watching TV. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining bad people. They can communicate with old friends and make new friends through music. While they learn and make music, they can also be thinking about a possible career.
Music builds self-confidence. To make music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practise performing in front of groups of people. It gives students a feeling of importance to have a skill someone appreciates. Music gives children a chance to express themselves, and that helps develop their self-confidence. They are also learning how to complete something from beginning to end and actually come out with a product that they can take pride in.
Though important, many schools exclude music lesson on the pretext of delaying students’ studies. Then what shall we do
( ) 27. What can we know from the passage
A. Music gets one to be more creative.
B. Music helps one to get a job earlier.
C. Famous people should love music.
D. Outgoing people learn music more easily.
( ) 28. The last sentence suggests that ________.
A. the author wonders whether music is necessary
B. the author has no way to solve the problem
C. music lessons should be part of the curriculum
D. all kinds of lessons should be included at school
( ) 29. Why does the author write this article
A. To blame the present education.
B. To attract attention to music education.
C. To make people enjoy music.
D. To take children away from computer games.
( ) 30. The statement “So music makes children well-rounded students” should go to the end of _______.
A. Para. 1 B. Para. 2 C. Para. 4 D. Para. 5

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（有两项为多余选项）。
Musical instruments range from simple to complex. They differ from one part of the world to another. But all instruments produce sound the same way, by means of vibrations (rapid back-and-forth movements). These vibrations reach our ears as sound waves. (31)________ Vibrations come from striking, plucking (弹或拨), and blowing on instruments, or by moving a bow across them. Faster vibrations produce higher notes.
Instruments we strike
(32)________ When we shake a rattle, objects inside it strike the rattle’s wall and make a sound. Instruments that make sounds by striking them have been used since the Stone Age. Striking the instrument starts the vibrations.
(33)________ This kind of instrument is a drum. The stretched membrane vibrates to produce the sound. Drums are found in nearly every culture around the world.
Instruments with strings
Some musical instruments, such as violins and harps, have strings that vibrate. Stretching the strings by plucking or striking makes them vibrate. Violins, violas, and cellos are played by drawing a bow across their strings. The guitar, lute, banjo, and harp have strings that are plucked with the fingers. (34)________ Pressing a key on the keyboard causes a string to be hit with a small hammer.
(35)________
Flutes, trumpets, saxophones, and other instruments produce sound through vibrations of air. A flute sounds when we breathe air into a hole on its side or its end. By covering finger holes on the flute, we can change the pitch of the notes—how high or low the notes are.
A. Instruments we blow on
B. The piano has strings and a keyboard.
C. We strike gongs and xylophones.
D. We can group musical instruments into families by how they produce vibrations.
E. Sometimes we strike an object that has a skin or other membrane (膜) stretched tight across it.
F. Instruments we strike range from hollowed-out logs to complicated bells.
G. But we usually think of musical instruments as objects specially created to produce the sounds of the music we know—folk, rock, classical, and all other types.

阅读下面短文，根据所给短文内容续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighbourhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practise singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practise singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you. ”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.

第四部分 写作
第一节
Music is playing an important part in our study and daily life.
As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. When I feel depressed, listening to music can cheer me up. Besides, after a whole day’s hard work, listening to music enables me to feel relaxed. What’s more, I can learn a lot by listening to music.
On the other hand, I think we must learn to choose inspiring music. Also, if listening to music takes up too much time, it may affect our study. I don’t go in for loud popular music, which may disturb others.
In a word, music should make life better and help people become happier.
第二节
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. The next day, she began to practise singing outside. Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later, She could sing as she was walking. A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, “Emily, coward! Emily, coward!” However, she chose to ignore his behaviour.
Paragraph 2:
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighbourhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl had been a brave one.

Text 1
W: I like listening to music and watching TV to relax but I like listening to music better. What about you
M: Well, I don’t like music so much. I like to take a walk.
Text 2
M: You’re really crazy about the singer Mary, aren’t you
W: Yes, I drove to Birmingham from Manchester for her concert. I wouldn’t miss it.
Text 3
M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me
W: Thanks. But I already have one. You can ask Emily. She might be interested.
Text 4
M: Hi, Bob. What are you listening to
M: Some popular music.
W: I’ve never heard this song before. Did you buy a new CD
M: No, I borrowed it from my friend Sam.
Text 5
M: What part of your work earns you the most
W: Well, it used to be my recordings but that side has dropped a bit. And there’s never much money from the concert. I’ve done some TV advertisements recently, and they bring in a big fortune.
Text 6
M: Excuse me, are you in a hurry
W: Well, we’re having a concert in about ten minutes and I’m late. I usually walk but it’s raining so I have to take a taxi.
M: Can I quickly ask you what you do and where you’re doing
W: Well, usually I teach music but at the moment I’m playing the piano at the New York Theatre.
M: Oh, and that’s where you are going now
W: That’s right. The concert starts at 2 o’clock, so I have to hurry there.
Text 7
W: Hi, Jim. It’s me. I’m having a bit of trouble with the car, so I won’t be able to go to the concert with you tonight.
M: Oh really What is it
W: It’s the engine again. I just had it fixed last week.
M: I’m sorry to hear that. Want me to come to get you
W: Actually, I was stuck on the freeway and I had to walk a mile to this gas station to get help.
M: Look, why don’t I come to pick you up in my car, once they took your car to the station. Where are you
W: You know that the gas station at the entrance to the freeway
M: Oh, yeah. I’ll be right down. We still might be able to catch the late show.
Text 8
M: Where do you want to go, Madam
W: Hilton Hotel, please. Barr! It’s cold, eh I’m freezing.
M: Come in. San Francisco is usually cold in winter, you know. It’s often very rainy, which makes the weather colder and it sometimes ...
W: Well, it gets very hot in summer, doesn’t it
M: Not really. It gets warm in July and August. That’s the best time to visit the city. Uh, oh, here comes the rain!
W: It’s raining hard. By the way, how long does it take to reach the hotel, do you think
M: About half an hour if there is no traffic jam. Would you like to listen to some light music
W: That would be lovely.
Text 9
W: Excuse me, I think my friend and I are lost. I’m wondering if you can help us.
M: I’ll try. What are you looking for
W: We’re trying to find the park that has the free concert today.
M: Which park
W: We thought it was the park downtown, but we just came from there. No concert.
M: Do you know the name of the park that has the free concert
W: No, but we have a leaflet with the concert details.
M: Well, it says: “Concert by the Lake”, so it’s probably at the lake shore park.
W: I’m not sure if we want to risk getting lost again.
M: I understand but I’m pretty sure the concert is there. It’s the only park in the lake area.
W: Is it easy to find
M: Very easy. You just hop on the bus across the street and it takes you right to park. Even if the concert isn’t there, it has a wonderful boardwalk I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
W: Well, that doesn’t sound too bad. I think it’s worth the risk. Thank you!
M: You’re welcome and good luck!

This is the last time I’ll be addressing you as CEO of this company. Those are strange words to say, but the time has come for me to step down. I’ll remain chairman of the board, and concentrate on helping us grow our brand internationally. I’ll appoint Quinn Constantine as CEO of this company. He is a man who is not only our executive vice-president but someone who has dedicated his entire career to our firm. Quinn came aboard 20 years ago, fresh out of college, and began as a software engineer. His drive and wisdom have been important in developing our most popular and successful products. He has spent the past 5 years working closely with me. I can assure you that he is well prepared for this change, and is qualified to keep this company among the leaders in an increasingly competitive high-tech industry. I expect there will be little change in our day-to-day operations, but I’ll let your new boss speak for himself. Ladies and gentlemen, here’s Quinn Constantine.
