III.阅读理解
Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1820, the daughter of a teacher of languages. She is said to have been able to repeat a song that she had heard only once at the age of three. At ten years of age she sang children's parts on the Stockholm stage. After turning 12 years of age, her upper notes(高音调)lost their sweetness, and for four years she did not do much singing. Her love for music continued and these years were spent on the study of instrumental music and composition.
At the end of this period her voice got its power and purity(纯净)again and for a year and a half she was the star of the Stockholm Opera. Next, she gave a series of concerts and went to Paris for further study, but the French teacher did not appreciate her powers and Jenny returned to her native city.
When she was twenty-three years old, Jenny went to Dresden and when Queen Victoria visited that city the following year, she sang at the festivals held in the Queen's honor. This opened the way to astonishing success in other German cities. In 1847 she went to London and was warmly received. There she sang for the first time in concert.
Jenny Lind traveled to Paris to study with Manuel Garcia, a famous Spanish vocal(声乐) coach, who finally agreed to train her. Her husband, Otto Goldschmidt, was a famous German pianist who trained with Mendelssohn; they married in Boston while on tour in the US.
After her marriage, she appeared on the stage from time to time, usually at concerts given for charities. She was deeply interested in charities and we can easily add to her title(头衔)of singer that of philanthropist. Her later years were spent in London where she died in 1887. Her life and songs are a sweet memory.
1. Jenny Lind didn’t sing much for four years because ______.
A. she didn't like popular music
B. she liked instrumental music and composition
C. her voice was not at its best
D. she was busy with her studies
2. In order to learn more about music Jenny Lind went to ______.
A. Paris B. Dresden
C. Boston D. London
3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of Jenny Lind?
A. She became famous in Stockholm when she was 10.
B. Queen Victoria didn't like her performance at all.
C. She got married with Mendelssohn in the USA.
D. People are still impressed with her songs.
4. The passage is mainly developed by ______.

C. order in time
D. examples
IV.阅读填空
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There was a park near my home. But I didn't go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn't much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 1.______ I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren't very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn't look nice. 2.______ Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn't make up my mind.
3.______ It wasn't nice, but I didn't want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 4.______
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I'd like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn't believe me. They couldn't even remember that path because it was so small.
5. ______ Don't be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A. There is nothing that I want to see.
B. It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.

4. Peasants 5. audience 6. composed
7. court 8. classical 9. toured 10. genius
II. 1. A。句意:我不喜欢那些试图让你对他们得到多少钱有印象的人。impress sb. with sth.是固定用法,意为“让某人对某事物有印象”。
2. D。句意:直到我们失去某件东西的时候,才会意识到它的珍贵。考查含有not…until句型的强调句型,要把not放在until之前一块强调。
3. D。lose heart是固定短语,意为“灰心,泄气”;表示“职位”的名词作补语时不用冠词,该题中的president of the USA在句中作主语补足语,故D项正确。
4.A。句意:工作了十小时后,这个科学家停下来去休息。work发生在stopped这一动作之前,因此用现在分词的完成式作状语。
5.C。a talented man意为“一个有才华的人”;have a talent for...是固定搭配,意为“有……的天赋”。
6.B。句意:在这么热的天气里,你不把食物放在冰箱里,它很容易变质。go wrong意为 “出毛病”;go bad意为“变质”;go away意为“离开”;go out意为“出去;熄灭”。故B项正确。
7.D。句意:这些音乐家在中国的巡回演出深受中国年轻人的欢迎。
8.B。by the time引导的时间状语从句中谓语用一般过去时,主句谓语用过去完成时。
9.B。句意:在音乐方面他是个天才。at意为“在……方面”。
10.D。be composed of意为“由……组成”,相当于be made up of和consist of。
III.1.C。推理判断题。根据第一段中的After turning 12 years of age, he upper notes(高音调) lost their sweetness, and for four years she did not do much singing.可知,12岁时她的高音调失去了甜美,由此可以推断出她之所以四年没有演唱是因为她的嗓音不在最佳状态。
2.A。细节理解题。根据第二段中的Next, she gave a series of concerts and went to Paris for further study…可知,她为了学习更多的音乐知识去了巴黎。
3.D。细节理解题。根据全文的内容,结合文章最后一段中的Her life and songs are a sweet memory.可知,现在人们仍然对她的歌曲记忆犹新。
4.C。写作手法题。本文主要讲述了珍妮·林德的一生,按照时间顺序展开叙述,故C为答案。
