Public schools in Washington，D.C.provide students with musical instruments for free.When something goes wrong with an instrument，Charles West and Larry Jernigan do the repairs.Both men approach their work with a passion (激情)．For them，it’s important that students have a joyful experience with music.
The two have worked together for almost 20 years.This year alone，they’ve fixed about 450 instruments.Both men are musicians and music lovers，so learning to do repairs came naturally.
“I have been a musician all my life，”says West.“I played in an orchestra here in the city.I majored in music in college.I played in an army band.”
Jernigan’s musical interests are varied.“I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar.As for the alto sax and the flute，I picked up them while working here.”
In addition to fixing instruments，the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music，it enriches other areas of their lives.“I see that in other kids.I see it in myself.I have seen it hundreds of times and it works，”he says.“They learn teamwork.They learn patience and respect.”
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age.
“This instant age has taken away from the sit-down，the patience.And to learn to play an instrument，it takes patience，it takes diligence and it takes time.”
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job.Both men agree their best rewards are the students’ performances.
1．West and Jernigan love their job because they can ________.
A．earn more money B．learn repair skills
C．enjoy music D．watch performances
2．Which of the following is TRUE of the two men?
A．They have fixed 450 instruments in the past 20 years.
B．They can play and repair musical instruments.
C．Jernigan used to play in an army band.
D．West was trained to play the piano.
3．According to West，what can people learn from music?
A．Teamwork and patience.
B．The value of time.
C．The truth of society.
D．Diligence and confidence.
4．What is mainly talked about in the text?
A．How to repair musical instruments.
B．Learning experience of two repairmen.
C．How to prepare a musical performance.
D．The enjoyable job of two music lovers.

任务型读写
The family sphere used to be defined by its isolation from the public realm. There was the public male realm of “rational accomplishment” and cruel competition，and the private female and child-rearing sphere of home, intuition and emotion.The private realm was supposed to be isolated from the realities of adult life.For both better and worse，television and other electronic media tend to break down the difference between those two worlds.The membrane around the family sphere is much more permeable(可渗透的)．TV takes public events and transforms them into dramas that are played out in the privacy of our living rooms，kitchens and bedrooms.
Parents used to be the channel through which children learned about the outside world.They could decide what to tell their children and when to tell it to them.Since children learn to read in stages，books provide a kind of natural screening process，where adults can decide what to tell and not to tell children of different reading abilities.Television destroyed the system that separated adult from child knowledge and separated information into year-by-year slices for children of different ages.Instead，it presents the same information directly to children of all ages，without going through adult filters.
So television presents a real challenge to adults.While a parent can read a newspaper without sharing it with children in the same room，television is accessible to everyone in that space.And unlike books，television doesn’t allow us to flip(翻转) through it and see what’s coming up.We may think we’re giving our children a lesson in science by having them watch the Challenger take off，and then suddenly they learn about death，disaster and adult mistakes.
Books allow adults to discuss privately what to tell or not to tell children.This also allows parents to keep adult material secret from children and keep their secret keeping secret.Take that same material and put it on The Today Show and you have 800,000 children hearing the very things the adults are trying to keep from them.“Television takes our kids across the globe before parents give them permission to cross the street.”
More importantly，children gradually learn that adults are worried and anxious about being parents.Actually，television has also placed families under a lot of stress.

Celebrities(名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.
First，some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media.Television，radio，and magazines invade the lives of audience with a variety of shows，information，and publications about stars and their lives.For instance，Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi(狗仔队)．In May，Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas，Nevada.Media also invade stars’ lives because reporters know they get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists’ news.
Second，some mad audience imitate their celebrities for their lack of confidence.Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression.For instance，my cousin Jenny，who lacks a social life because of her introverted(内向的) personality，believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.
Finally，several fans of stars imitate them because of peer pressure.Since my niece’s girl friends formed an Antonio Banderas’fan club，she had also joined the group.Although she wasn’t a huge fan of his，now she collects most of Banderas’ possessions.In fact，when I asked Arianna，my niece，why she was part of Banderas’ fan club，she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.
In conclusion，it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood，which entertains many people all over the world；however，modern celebrities influence the audience to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives.
1．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Why people are influenced by celebrities.
B．The harmful influence of celebrities.
C．What kind of people are influenced by celebrities.
D．How to avoid the influence of celebrities.
2．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A．media are on the side of stars
B．stars know how to take advantage of media
C．media can give wrong information about stars
D．media invade stars’ lives for their own good
3．Arianna joined the Antonio Banderas’ fan club to ________.
A．seek encouragement from the star
B．be accepted by other teens
C．become a real fan of the star
D．learn more about the star
4．The author of the passage probably believes that ________.
A．it’s easy for people to resist the influence of celebrities
B．all young people are easily influenced by celebrities
C．it’s no good for people to imitate celebrities blindly
D．people can improve their personalities by imitating their favorite stars

The website “FarmersOnly.com” calls itself an online dating and friendship finder.The idea started in the mind of a man，Jerry Miller in Ohio.He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer.Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.
As he tells it，the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date.But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night，when_she_had_to_start_her_day_at_five_the_next_morning.
So，in 2005，Jerry Miller launched his website.“You don’t have to be a farmer to be on ‘FarmersOnly.com’，but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland.”
You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site.Some services are free，but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year.As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members.Many of them are farmers in the United States.Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture.Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.
Some farmers have also found love through a group，Singles in Agriculture，which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance，but is not a dating service.The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship.Its website，“singlesinag.org”，says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.

A public high school in the rural town of Boonsboro，Maryland，offers a special program.Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math，science，English and social studies.
The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart.Rebecca Brown chooses the students for what Boonsboro High School calls the Academy.“What we really want to do is to take that top group of kids and to take them to the very highest level they can achieve here，so that they’re prepared for college，” she said.They need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations.They also need to be involved in activities.
Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High School for twenty years and directs the Academy.His ninth-grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting.“The novels they’re reading now，are very manly novels.They’re novels that deal with the arrogance(傲慢) of man and the pride of man.”One of those books，for example，is “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London.This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada’s Klondike Gold Rush.
On this day，the students are working in small groups.Vincent and Logan explain why they’re drawing pictures that relate to the story.Vincent said，“The main character，Buck，gets abducted(绑架) and they send him off to the Yukon in a train.So I’m drawing part of the story where he’s in the train.It gets you to visualize the setting of the story and gets you to think more about what’s going on in the story，the important events of the story.” “Instead of just doing work sheets about it，this is a lot more fun，” Logan added happily.
Morgan Van Fleet likes being in the Academy.She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom.“To me，it almost seems like it’s hindering (妨碍) your chances at developing yourself because you’re more focused on ‘Oh，I wish they’d shut up.Oh，what do they think of me？’ instead of focusing on what’s the homework or what’s going on in this class，what’s the lesson.”
1．In Rebecca Brown’s opinion，________.
A．any student in Boonsboro High School can take part in the program
B．students in the program are expected to get well prepared for college
C．students can all achieve their highest levels in the program
D．students don’t have to join in the activities
2．The underlined word “visualize” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．
A．pay a visit to B．form a picture of
C．take a look at D．have a gift for
3．What can we conclude from the text?
A．Michael Bair considers it unsuitable for boys to read the book “The Call of the Wild”．
B．Jack London is a main character in the book “The Call of the Wild”．
C．Vincent thinks that his drawings can help understand the novel better.
D．Morgan Van Fleet thinks the program does no good to her.
4．The text is probably taken from ________.
A．a school’s introduction
B．a teacher’s diary
C．a headmaster’s speech
D．a news report

Steven Felton is a man with a mission.He gave up his job to follow his childhood dream—finding the Loch Ness monster(鬼怪)．
Mr.Felton，aged 34，left his home in southwest England to live by the loch(湖) in the Scottish highlands.Now he is Britain’s only professional monster hunter，endlessly driving his car up and down the 38-kilometre shoreline of the loch.
He keeps himself going by selling clay Loch Ness models to tourists.He photographs and films the loch and takes echo soundings in the hope of finding some evidence of the existence of the “animal”，a name he gave to the Loch Ness monster.
Mr.Felton says that one sighting of an unexplained“disturbance” on the water by himself plus a large collection of other sightings by other people has led him to believe that there are 20 to 30 Loch Ness monsters.He is certain that the “animal” is about the size of a minibus and has a back shaped like an upturned boat.
His faith in the monster’s existence goes back to his childhood when his family took him on a picnic to the loch at the age of seven.“I got hooked(钩住) on the Loch Ness monster as a kid，and I still find it fascinating that in the British Isles，which is all completely mapped out and about which we know almost everything，there is still a mystery unexplained.”
Since he arrived in Scotland six years ago，the stories he has collected，together with information from the occasional visiting scientific research team，have made him believe in the existence of the “animal”．“The scientists often say they have found something，but nothing conclusive.But it all adds a little each time，”he said.
56．How does Felton support himself in the Scottish highlands?
A．He receives money from a university for his research.
B．He makes films about the Loch Ness monster for TV.
C．He sells clay models of Loch Ness monster to visitors.
D．He is employed by government to hunt the Loch Ness monster.
57．Felton’s belief that there are many Loch Ness monsters is based on ________.
A．other people’s opinions about monsters
B．echo soundings he has taken at Loch Ness
C．a number of sightings made by himself and other people
D．the photos he has taken over the years of the monster
58．What does the word “mission” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．job B．duty C．thought D．dream
59．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Mystery Explained
B．A Mad Man and His Monster
C．The Man Who Fell for a Monster
D．The Loch Ness Monster Found at Last
B
The UK Young Scientist of the Year award has been won by a young woman for the first time and she is from Northern Ireland.Hannah Eastwood,18，from Bristol University，explored how chromium(铬) could be removed from drinking water，allowing running water to be purified(净化) and reused for industry.
Professor Brian Cox，one of the judges for the National Science and Engineering Competition，said it was wonderful to see such interest and effort in science.“It made me hugely excited about the future of science in the UK，with promising(有希望的) young scientists such as Hannah，”he said.Hannah said she was “excited” but still in shock.“This is an unbelievable opportunity to be an ambassador(大使) for science and to inspire young people，”she said.

Trekking through the mists of the Huangshan mountains，I came upon a young man painting the scenery with traditional brush and ink on rice paper.He smiled proudly as he showed me his work.It was indeed quite beautiful for a painting，but it paled compared to the living scene before my eyes：mountaintops surrounded by light clouds，an endless dance of wind and fog that changes alternately in the dark hills beneath.How futile (徒劳的) it must feel for a mere human being to try to capture that，I thought.
Yet for centuries，these mountains in the heart of China have been a destination for artists and poets，who come to commune with nature in one of its more striking poses—and struggle to replicate (复制) its beauty.Along with the artists and poets come lovers，who grasp locks symbolic of their undying love to the chain fences that protect hikers from the steep cliffs.Seventy miles of trails wind around 72 peaks，the two most majestic (雄伟的) of which are Capital of Heaven and Lotus Flower.
In 1990，UNESCO declared Huangshan a Cultural and Natural Property，thereby ensuring that the area’s physical beauty will be preserved forever.Pheasant (野鸡) and deer abound.Hundreds of plants are said to heal the body and the famous hot springs are known for their healing qualities.An hour’s meditation in one of these pools is a great way to end a day of hiking.
The three staging areas for Huangshan visitors are Jade Screen，the Hot Springs area and the North Sea (named not for a body of water but for the sea of clouds bathing the range)．The Xi Hai and Bei Hai，located on different summits，are three-star hotels serving Chinese and Western food as well as wine and liquor from East and West.There are dormitory-style rooms with public toilets for those who are traveling on a tight budget.
Huangshan may not be exactly off the beaten path，but it is on a road well worth taking.

B．To recommend Huangshan mountains to tourists.
C．To speak highly of the beauty of Huangshan mountains.
D．To stress the convenience to climb Huangshan mountains.

You can love them or hate them，but no matter which tourist destination you visit，chances are that you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands，publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages.The popular brand also produces television shows，websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable.They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.
They provide the reviews of hostels (招待所)，hotels，restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler，or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before.If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language，sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook.You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean，with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet while travel guide publishers like them.They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen.They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else.You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over，because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities.For example，some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists.They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle，wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourists’ dollar.
68．The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that________.
A．you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook
B．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
C．it provides lots of useful information about your destination
D．it can help you save time and money when traveling
69．People criticize the guidebook because________.
A．it is not as useful as most travelers expect
B．tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route
C．travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
D．local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence
70．What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?
A．It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.
B．It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.
C．It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
D．It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.
71．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text？(①～⑦stand for Paragraph 1—Paragraph 7)
E
Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform？It’s too early to answer.But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education.Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students，so-called child prodigies (奇才)，to begin classes on March 1,2011.On graduating in 2015，these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education—unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology，but if the government will not approve the school，the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.
The difficulties，however，have not frightened students and their parents away.On Dec.18,2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.Not a penny comes from the government.So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive.To accomplish this goal，the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage.Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.
72．What will make those 50 students different from others?
A．They are all child prodigies.
B．They will study much long time.
C．They are willing to challenge the Ministry of Education.
D．They will receive an unauthorized diploma
73．Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because ________.
A．they believe that the school will have a bright future
B．they believe the government is sure to approve the school
C．the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully
D．they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions
74．The trouble the students in the school may have is that ________.
A．the government will have no voice in the school
B．they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school
C．other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school
D．they will not learn how to be competitive
75．What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?
A．It is another kind of diploma mill.
B．It’s impossible for the school to be competitive.
C．It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.
D．Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a medical condition caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)，a virus which damages people’s natural defenses against disease.So far，no cure has been found for it.
In the early mid-1980s，while other parts of the world were beginning to deal with the serious disease，Asia remained relatively unaffected by this newly discovered health problem.By the early 1990s，however，HIV and AIDS had hit several Asian countries，and by the end of that decade，HIV was spreading rapidly in many areas of the continent.Today，HIV and AIDS are a growing problem in every region of Asia.The latest statistics produced by UNAIDS suggest that in 2008，over 5 million people were living with HIV or AIDS in Asia.
Various factors cause the spread of HIV，including poverty，inequality，unequal status of women，cultural myths about sex and high levels of migration (移民)．Although it’s useful to understand the situation of AIDS in Asia as a whole，each country in the region faces a different situation.In Cambodia and Thailand，there has been evidence of declines in HIV infection levels.In Indonesia，Pakistan and Vietnam，meanwhile，the number of people living with HIV has rapidly increased.In China，the number of people newly infected with HIV and AIDS is also rising，although at a much slower pace.
Much improvement is needed to prevent HIV and AIDS around Asia.New guidelines and policy documents have been continually issued over the years.Most of the successful programs do have at least three features in common.Firstly，these programs encourage HIV and AIDS education among the general population to teach people how to avoid infection and to face discrimination.Secondly，they are very practical and they involve the infected people themselves in program design and implementation (实施)．Last but not least，strong leadership is essential for HIV prevention.If all of the leaders truly committed themselves to this cause，then a great many lives would be saved.

Monday，February 19,2007，proved to be a busy day for us.We had a new crew member at our station and he was learning how to drive the engine and use the water pump.We spent most of the morning drilling.We got back around 14∶30 and were eating when a call came in for a fire alarm at an apartment complex outside our own district.The fire was caused by a gas explosion in the kitchen of a man called Harry.As we approached the complex，we could see the thick，black smoke from the entrance.School was just getting out and many of the fascinated children were running towards the smoke.There was fire shooting from the roof as we entered the upper floor apartments.We had to go in and pull the ceiling down which exposed a large amount of fire over our heads.Unfortunately，there was too much fire so we were pulled out and large hoses were used to put out the fire.The winds were very strong that day and there was a big risk that the fire would spread.As we got the hoses set up we were told that the wall we were near was about to fall.As soon as we moved our hoses back，the wall fell.Bricks were everywhere.Three hours later，the fire was completely put out.No one was hurt in this fire，but two engines were destroyed，causing about $150,000 worth of damage.

Dear Tom，
How’s everything going？I cannot wait to tell you the good news that my parents have just promised me to make a 10-day tour of England after my graduation from senior high school this summer.That will be a really good chance for me to experience English culture close up，meanwhile to practise my oral English.
I have learned English for many years，but after all it is only book knowledge.As I don’t like to join in a group，could you please offer me some advice on where to stay，what to eat and how to travel in such a short time?
I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the must-see tourist attractions and the time arrangement for the tour.I’m sure your advice will surely make my visit enjoyable and worthwhile.
I’d like to invite you to visit China in your convenient time.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
