Anne was sitting in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the mountain of the village. It was her last spring in the mountain. That very day she would be leaving her aunt’s house to rejoin her family in Los Angeles. She had been staying to finish the sixth grade when her parents readied their new home.
There was a presenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e beside her. Anne glanced to her left. There was another girl,who was drawing. It was a long time before the time was right for Anne to speak.
“Is this your Thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nking Place too ” Anne asked. The other girl nodded and smiled, just a little. There was a piece of sadness, Anne realized, in that girl’s blue eyes. There was more silence. Then the girl’s question come, almost a whisper.
“What are you thinki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng about ” The eyes drifted to the tears still clinging to Anne’s jaw.
“I love this place ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),” Anne said simply. This was the truth, and it was all that the other needed to hear. A comforting arm reached around Anne’s shoulder.
“Me, too”.
“What are you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing about ” asked Anne, remembering the sadness in the blue eyes.
“My family is m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oving to somewhere in Los Angeles. But I knew no one there.” Anne become happy. She told the girl she was moving back to Los Angeles. The girl become happy, too. They kept talking and found they had a lot in common.
Then it was time fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r Anne to go back to her aunt’s house. She glanced back at her new friend, standing on the rocks in the mountains, and then examined the drawing.

Do you like li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stening to English songs to learn the language Some students don,t believe doing so can help them learn English. I have to say they think wrongly. Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better. You may ask how. Just read on.
Lyrics are not easi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly forgotten. You listen to them over and over again throughout your life. Once you learn them, they are going to stay with you, and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them. If you learn just one song per week for a year, those are 52 songs foil of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget.
Songs give you perf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ect pronunciation models. As you learn to sing them, you are practicing your pronunciation, you are imitating (模仿)native speakers, and you are learning how to speak better. The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation, better intonation (声调),and more fluency.
When you start payin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g attention to the lyrics, your listening skills naturally improve. Once you learn a few songs, you’ll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary. A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension (理解). Just the feet that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise.
Another huge merit is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that you get to practice your grammar. Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs. You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs.
Now we can conclud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well. So listen to more English songs in your free time. You can put the lyrics on your ipod or iphone and read them as you listen. Believe me, and you’ll benefit a lot.
9. Paragraph 2 main ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly shows that by listening to English songs, you can ________.
A. improve your memory
B. have a larger vocabulary
C. gather a lot of English songs
D. go over words you have learned
10. The underlined word “merit” in Paragraph 5 means “________” .
A. advantage B. consideration
C. cause D. surprise
11. What is the text mainly about
A. What people can do to improve their English.
B. Why English learners like listening to English songs.
C. What songs people can listen to so as to improve English.
D. Why listening to English songs helps improve our English.
12. Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing best describes the relation among the paragraphs
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
D
One kind of the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orst agricultural pests in the United States is about to get a whole lot worse. According to the new research, the effects of climate change have caused harmful insects known as potato leafhoppers (蚕虫微叶蝉)to arrive a full 10 days earlier than they did 60 years ago. Not only that, but also the research shows that bug infestation (侵扰)levels are worse in warmer years, meaning they will cause a much greater threat than they have for decades.
In turn, the warme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r weather may push the insects to travel farther north than they typically care to, meaning potato leafhoppers could soon move into regions where they now aren’t causing much threat.
Potato leafhoppers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )migrate yearly from Southern states all the way into the northernmost US states and Canada. The bugs cause millions of dollars,worth of damage to agricultural crops every year, cutting into farmers’ potato, alfalfa, and hops profits.
They can feed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on the sap(树液)of more than 100 plant species, but they don’t kill plants immediately. Their toxin (毒素)causes plants to dry,lowering crop yields. Because of the bug’s size, farmers often don’t know when potato leafhoppers have invaded until they see the crop damage.
The danger co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld harm the industry. Farmers have turned to pesticides and leafhopper-resistant strains of alfalfa to control past infestations, but they may not be prepared if the insects continue to arrive earlier and infestation levels keep increasing.
The researchers weren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t surprised when they found the insects were now arriving 10 days earlier in warmer years. Early migration trends caused by climate change have been observed in mammals, birds, and other species.
13. The new research s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hows that the pests arrived earlier mainly because ________.
A. they couldn’t find food where they fed
B. the higher temperature allowed them to do so
C. larger numbers of them caused more competition
D. they had adapted to poor environmental conditions
14. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the pests
A. They now aren’t causing much of a threat.
B. They have been moving north all these years.
C. They can get used to new environment easily.
D. They may do harm to wider regions than before.
15. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 shows the pests ________.
A. mainly feed on potato plants
B. don’t cause losses every year
C. are costly for farmers to remove
D. are really a big problem for farmers
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
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。
The following are some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) important reasons why you need to set goals for yourself:
16 Having a g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oal written down with a set date for accomplishment gives you something to plan and work for.
Goals transform ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )difficult tasks into easy ones. Most of us have big dreams that seem impossible to accomplish. 17 Proper goal setting can help break larger aspirations into smaller and more achievable stepping stones.
Goals hold you accoun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )table for failure. Sometimes, looking back on a goal you set for yourself 6 months, or 1 year ago, you realize that you were supposed to accomplish a lot more than you actually did. 18 So you need to make real changes if you want to get where you want to be.
Goals tell you what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you truly want. 19 Sometimes we think we need more money, when we really need a change of environment. By asking ourselves what we really want and constantly re-assessing our goals, we can figure out what we really want in life.
Goals help us liv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e life to the fullest. Imagine you,re on vacation. Wouldn’t you want to figure out exactly what you want to see with the limited time 20 We’re given a limited amount of time to pursue the experiences we want and then before you know it, it’s time to go. Without a clear sense of what you want to do, you’ll never be able to live life to the fullest.
A. Goals move you forward.
B. In many ways, life is like a vacation.
C. Goal setting isn’t just about creating a plan for your life.
D. It’s a concrete sign that whatever you’re doing isn’t working.
E. During your j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ourney, you’ll find lots of interesting things to see.
F. It’s easy to fee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l disappointed when you’re staring at a difficult task.
G. There are time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s when we set goals that don’t really show what we want.
