I got a piano ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when I was 26 years old. I had been longing to play the piano since I was a little girl. My grandmother had a piano in her house. But she gave it away to my aunt when I was still little. After I got married, someone offered a piano to us for $280. We bought it immediately, even though it meant that we had to live off our food storage for a couple of months.
Paying a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )teacher was out of the question; so I set out to teach my self the piano. First, I set out to learn to read music. I got any music I could find and played songs by looking at notes. The problem was that I couldn't play any piece of music if I didn't look at notes.
I had always tho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ught that playing the piano by ear was reserved for a few select pianists who were born with the gift. However, .one day, what a pianist told me changed my opinion. One day, I went to a concert. Luckily, after the concert, I could talk with the pianist tor a while. He told me that everyone could play the piano by ear if he or she tried hard enough. He meant that to learn to play the piano by ear, I would have to practice it.
So I started pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ying jingles(短曲) from advertisements. Before long, I was able to pick out simple tunes of songs that were very familiar to me, and even to add accompaniments(件奏). When I started practicing playing by ear, I also realized that my sight of reading skills improved greatly. It's because rather than reading every note, I was able to put my fingers where they should be according to the feel of the music.
Remember, you can learn to play the piano by ear, too.
5. After the' author got married, she _________.
A. bought a new piano
B. lived a very rich life
C. still longed to play the piano
D. had no time for her hobbies
6. What was the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roblem when the author played the piano at the beginning
A. She had a very poor memory.
B. She couldn't read music well.
C. She couldn't find much music to play.
D. She couldn't play music without notes.
7. At first the author considered playing the piano by ear was
A. interesting B. challenging
C. popular D. boring
8. How does the author usually play the piano now
A. By looking at notes carefully.
B. By looking at notes and remembering them.
C. By playing the piano without looking at every note.
D. By playing the piano without adding accompaniments.
C
I visited a friend's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) home the other day. While at his home, I noticed that he didn't like turning off the lights when they were not needed. So I started talking about global warming with him. I said that global warming had become a serious problem and that we all should do what we could to help prevent it. What he said really disappointed me. He said, "Why bother Global warming can't be prevented."
In my point of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )view, although we can't prevent global warming completely, we are able to perform a range of actions which may help to reduce the future effects of global warming. And I think everyone on the earth should try to prevent global warming. Here are some things I think we can do at home.
We can recycle u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seful things to help diminish energy consumption (消耗) on making new products.
We should en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sure we have the appropriate wall /roof insulation (隔热) and window / door products on our house. This can not only reduce the energy needed to heat a house, but could also save us money over the coming years due to lower electricity /heating bills.
Making use of en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ergy-efficient light bulbs will reduce the amount of energy required to light a room. Energy-efficient light bulbs usually last much longer and could save us money in the long-run over traditional light bulbs.
When purchasing ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w electrical items for our home such as washing machines, refrigerators or computers, we can consider energy-efficient rated products.
One of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )easiest ways to prevent global warming in the future is to ensure that all devices are turned off when not in use and not needed. Many devices contain lights which are lit whenever the power is turned on to the device, even if not in use.
When purchasing groceries, we can look for local produce.
If we all do wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t we can to help prevent global warming, global warming will become a less concerning problem.
9. What is most pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bably the author's attitude toward her friend's words
A. Interested.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
10. What does the underlined word "diminish" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Reduce. B. Replace.
C. Examine. D. Change.
11. The author sugge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts using the appropriate wall /roof insulation because it _________
A. can last for many years
B. is an energy-efficient device
C. receives sunlight to heat a room
D. saves energy used to heat a house
12. Which of the following actions is NOT mentioned in the text
A. Using renewable energy.
B. Purchasing local produce.
C. Using energy-efficient devices.
D. Turning off devices which are not needed.
D
Jaws is a classic and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very scary movie, but 'it's hard to imagine just how huge a great white shark is until you actually see one close up. Deep Blue, an at least 20-foot female great white shark living off the Pacific coast of Mexico, is one of the largest sharks ever filmed. Recent video footage shows the giant shark "high-fiving" a biologist who studies it in a cage with a fin (鳍) near Guadalupe Island, Mexico.
The giant shark ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ): called Deep Blue by researchers, was first featured back in the summer of last year by the Discovery Channel in a documentary. The shark was obviously pregnant .at the time of the documentary filming. Now a much slimmer Deep Blue has showed up again at Guadalupe Island.
The researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )point out that the massive shark is recognizable by her numerous scars. In the Discovery documentary, it is explained that large and vertical slashes on Deep Blue's left flank are likely from fights with other sharks. Deep Blue also has a big wound on her right side, and both her dorsal (背部的) fin and tail show signs of scrapes and damage.
Great white shark ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are known as the largest predatory fish in the ocean. Wildlife biologists say
that great whites ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) usually grow to close t0 15 feet in length, with a few specimens (试样) reaching more than 20 feet long and topping out at around 5,000 pounds. Females typically give birth to 2-14 fully formed pups.
The classic fil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m Jaws gave great whites a bad reputation, showing them as nothing more than meat-eating machines. However, .additional research into great white behaviors is beginning to paint a more complex picture. There is strong evidence that great whites do socialize to a limited extent, and moreover, they are not always violent or aggressive.
13. In the recent video footage, the giant shark was_________.
A. friendly to a biologist
B. trying to attack a biologist
C. being trained by a biologist
D. trying to escape from a cage
14. Paragraph 3 mainly explains_________.
A. why the white shark gets injured'
B. how white sharks usually get injured
C. what the documentary is mainly about
D. why the white shark could be clearly recognized
15. We learn that white sharks _________.
A. don't typically reach over 20 feet long
B. hardly give birth t0 14 fully formed pups one time
C. can be hunted by larger predatory fish in the ocean
D. usually weigh about 5,000 pounds after they grow up

Life can be so busy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) these days. It's time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your lives. Here are some tips that will help you.
Write every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing down and don't rely on your memory. 16 If you want .to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, even when you've hit your head and forgotten your own name.
17 Tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y this experiment: before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you don't use. Or, if you're a really terrible pack rat, just throw out one old thing a day until you can't find any more items to throw.
Recycle and donate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) (捐赠). Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags on Is your bookshelf full of unread books Chances are that if you haven't read, worn, or used whatever they are, then you ' re probably not going to use them at all. 18
Create daily, weekl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. 19 Distribute tasks evenly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily; while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly.
Whichever of these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tasks you decide to do, remember that you can't completely organize your life in one go. 20 Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.
A. Practice putting things away immediately.
B. Throw one thing before buying something.
C. It's a long and never-ending process, so be patient.
D. Give them to a charity or sell them on the Internet.

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
90% of writing publ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ished online isn't worth the server space where it's stored. Many writers fail to take themselves 41 (serious). Effective writing can be learned by practice and 42
(observe). The following are some tips.
You write wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t you read. Stop 43 (read) the same meaningless and repetitive writing everyone else reads. Absorb fresh ideas by reading old books, written 44 masters of language. Then take these ideas and pretend you invented them. The subject matter of the books you read is not the most important part. The value 45 (come) from absorbing the style of the author. This is how we learn to 46 (clear) convey the meaning. You will also find unexpected inspiration.
Style is the ki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng. The hearts and minds of readers 47 (win) by force of personality. Don't believe for 48 moment that being in the right out-weighs attractive personality.
Passion (激情) is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the one quality essential to powerful writing. Writing without passion is like a sailboat without wind. 49 you write about, there must be a passion that drives you. The passion lights your mind on fire and inspires you 50 (expose) your private thoughts to the world.

I got a piano ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when I was 26 years old. I had been longing to play the piano since I was a little girl. My grandmother had a piano in her house. But she gave it away to my aunt when I was still little. After I got married, someone offered a piano to us for $280. We bought it immediately, even though it meant that we had to live off our food storage for a couple of months.
Paying a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )teacher was out of the question; so I set out to teach my self the piano. First, I set out to learn to read music. I got any music I could find and played songs by looking at notes. The problem was that I couldn't play any piece of music if I didn't look at notes.
I had always tho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ught that playing the piano by ear was reserved for a few select pianists who were born with the gift. However, .one day, what a pianist told me changed my opinion. One day, I went to a concert. Luckily, after the concert, I could talk with the pianist tor a while. He told me that everyone could play the piano by ear if he or she tried hard enough. He meant that to learn to play the piano by ear, I would have to practice it.
So I started pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ying jingles(短曲) from advertisements. Before long, I was able to pick out simple tunes of songs that were very familiar to me, and even to add accompaniments(件奏). When I started practicing playing by ear, I also realized that my sight of reading skills improved greatly. It's because rather than reading every note, I was able to put my fingers where they should be according to the feel of the music.
Remember, you can learn to play the piano by ear, too.
5. After the' author got married, she _________.
A. bought a new piano
B. lived a very rich life
C. still longed to play the piano
D. had no time for her hobbies
6. What was the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roblem when the author played the piano at the beginning
A. She had a very poor memory.
B. She couldn't read music well.
C. She couldn't find much music to play.
D. She couldn't play music without notes.
7. At first the author considered playing the piano by ear was
A. interesting B. challenging
C. popular D. boring
8. How does the author usually play the piano now
A. By looking at notes carefully.
B. By looking at notes and remembering them.
C. By playing the piano without looking at every note.
D. By playing the piano without adding accompaniments.
C
I visited a friend's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) home the other day. While at his home, I noticed that he didn't like turning off the lights when they were not needed. So I started talking about global warming with him. I said that global warming had become a serious problem and that we all should do what we could to help prevent it. What he said really disappointed me. He said, "Why bother Global warming can't be prevented."
In my point of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )view, although we can't prevent global warming completely, we are able to perform a range of actions which may help to reduce the future effects of global warming. And I think everyone on the earth should try to prevent global warming. Here are some things I think we can do at home.
We can recycle u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seful things to help diminish energy consumption (消耗) on making new products.
We should en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sure we have the appropriate wall /roof insulation (隔热) and window / door products on our house. This can not only reduce the energy needed to heat a house, but could also save us money over the coming years due to lower electricity /heating bills.
Making use of en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ergy-efficient light bulbs will reduce the amount of energy required to light a room. Energy-efficient light bulbs usually last much longer and could save us money in the long-run over traditional light bulbs.
When purchasing ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w electrical items for our home such as washing machines, refrigerators or computers, we can consider energy-efficient rated products.
One of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )easiest ways to prevent global warming in the future is to ensure that all devices are turned off when not in use and not needed. Many devices contain lights which are lit whenever the power is turned on to the device, even if not in use.
When purchasing groceries, we can look for local produce.
If we all do wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t we can to help prevent global warming, global warming will become a less concerning problem.
9. What is most pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bably the author's attitude toward her friend's words
A. Interested.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
10. What does the underlined word "diminish" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Reduce. B. Replace.
C. Examine. D. Change.
11. The author sugge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts using the appropriate wall /roof insulation because it _________
A. can last for many years
B. is an energy-efficient device
C. receives sunlight to heat a room
D. saves energy used to heat a house
12. Which of the following actions is NOT mentioned in the text
A. Using renewable energy.
B. Purchasing local produce.
C. Using energy-efficient devices.
D. Turning off devices which are not needed.
D
Jaws is a classic and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very scary movie, but 'it's hard to imagine just how huge a great white shark is until you actually see one close up. Deep Blue, an at least 20-foot female great white shark living off the Pacific coast of Mexico, is one of the largest sharks ever filmed. Recent video footage shows the giant shark "high-fiving" a biologist who studies it in a cage with a fin (鳍) near Guadalupe Island, Mexico.
The giant shark ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ): called Deep Blue by researchers, was first featured back in the summer of last year by the Discovery Channel in a documentary. The shark was obviously pregnant .at the time of the documentary filming. Now a much slimmer Deep Blue has showed up again at Guadalupe Island.
The researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )point out that the massive shark is recognizable by her numerous scars. In the Discovery documentary, it is explained that large and vertical slashes on Deep Blue's left flank are likely from fights with other sharks. Deep Blue also has a big wound on her right side, and both her dorsal (背部的) fin and tail show signs of scrapes and damage.
Great white shark ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are known as the largest predatory fish in the ocean. Wildlife biologists say
that great whites ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) usually grow to close t0 15 feet in length, with a few specimens (试样) reaching more than 20 feet long and topping out at around 5,000 pounds. Females typically give birth to 2-14 fully formed pups.
The classic fil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m Jaws gave great whites a bad reputation, showing them as nothing more than meat-eating machines. However, .additional research into great white behaviors is beginning to paint a more complex picture. There is strong evidence that great whites do socialize to a limited extent, and moreover, they are not always violent or aggressive.
13. In the recent video footage, the giant shark was_________.
A. friendly to a biologist
B. trying to attack a biologist
C. being trained by a biologist
D. trying to escape from a cage
14. Paragraph 3 mainly explains_________.
A. why the white shark gets injured'
B. how white sharks usually get injured
C. what the documentary is mainly about
D. why the white shark could be clearly recognized
15. We learn that white sharks _________.
A. don't typically reach over 20 feet long
B. hardly give birth t0 14 fully formed pups one time
C. can be hunted by larger predatory fish in the ocean
D. usually weigh about 5,000 pounds after they grow up

Life can be so busy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) these days. It's time that you all should admit that you need help in organizing your lives. Here are some tips that will help you.
Write every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing down and don't rely on your memory. 16 If you want .to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook.

Create daily, weekl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. 19 Distribute tasks evenly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily; while vacuuming could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly.
Whichever of these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tasks you decide to do, remember that you can't completely organize your life in one go. 20 Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
90% of writing publ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ished online isn't worth the server space where it's stored. Many writers fail to take themselves 41 (serious). Effective writing can be learned by practice and 42
(observe). The following are some tips.
You write wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t you read. Stop 43 (read) the same meaningless and repetitive writing everyone else reads. Absorb fresh ideas by reading old books, written 44 masters of language. Then take these ideas and pretend you invented them. The subject matter of the books you read is not the most important part. The value 45 (come) from absorbing the style of the author. This is how we learn to 46 (clear) convey the meaning. You will also find unexpected inspiration.
Style is the ki ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng. The hearts and minds of readers 47 (win) by force of personality. Don't believe for 48 moment that being in the right out-weighs attractive personality.
Passion (激情) is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the one quality essential to powerful writing. Writing without passion is like a sailboat without wind. 49 you write about, there must be a passion that drives you. The passion lights your mind on fire and inspires you 50 (expose) your private thoughts to the world.
