Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong feelings and events—love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated (复杂的), it is good to hear music about common people.
Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric (电子的) guitars.
At first, city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in factories. They took music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps (军营) in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada— in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast (播出) country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world.
It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from _________.
A. the Southeast and Midwest B. factories and army camps in the South
C. the Appalachian Mountains and the West D. real-life stories in small towns
27. Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the world today because__ .
A. city people said it was low class
B. people could sing it in many different languages
C. it started with cowboys and poor Southerners
D. it is loved by different kinds of people in the world
28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. City people didn’t like country music at first.
B. Country music is sung by stars all in English.
C. Country music is popular among city people today.
D. Country music is about feelings and events

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time, Grandpa, who lived with the family since Grandma had died, came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said, "When the robin sings..." he stopped, trying to remember what he had started to say.
"Spring is here," Mum finished the sentence. "And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning," Mum suggested. "Martina, you can help me, right?" Martina agreed unwillingly.
They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."
It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa, Grandpa stood in their way. "You can't take my sofa," he shouted.
"It's old," Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. "We'll buy you a new one," Mum promised.
"I don't want a new one," Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. "We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.
"Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old!"Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near."
"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."
The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms."
"I think I'm beginning to understand," Martina said. "Many years later," Grandpa continued, "I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort."
"I do see now," Martina looked at Grandpa. "This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend." "Yes," Grandpa added. "We've got through a lot together." The whole family agreed that the living room would be boring without the old sofa.
29.What is a robin?
A. A bird. B. A cat. C. A fish. D. A worm.
30.What was Grandpa like these days?
A. Careless. B. Impatient. C. Organized. D. Forgetful.
31.What's the best title for this passage?
A. Martina's wish B. A spring cleaning C. A happy family D. The old sofa

Dear Mr Scott,
I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to raise a theme that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing. You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence(栅栏)that separates our two gardens. You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest. It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal(合法的)for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees. Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) I drove them away.
Yours sincerely,
Becky Aldrin
32. What is this?
A complaint letter. B. An invitation letter.
C. A thank-you letter. D. A recommendation letter.
33.How was Becky Aldrin when she wrote this letter?
Polite but serious. B. Surprised but happy.
C. Angry and rude. D. Tired and uninterested.
34 .What did Becky Aldrin wish Mr Scott to do next?
Be kind to his neighbour
B. Make friends with his children.
C. Have a talk with his children.
D. Grow apple trees in his garden.
