音乐无国界，是全人类的语言。每个人的生活都离不开音乐。那么为什么
音乐在人们生活中如此重要呢？
　　　　　Why Music Is Important?
Music plays an important role in our daily life, especially in the rapid-paced modern life. Good music shows our civilization and music is the source of wit. People have different tastes when they enjoy music.
As for listeners or audience, music could be a sense of beauty. However, different kinds of music will give us different feelings. Light music will probably comfort(安慰) people’s mood; while heavy-metal music could make people feel excited. Classical music gives people a feeling of nobleness; while pop music expresses youngsters’ understanding of the world. We would prefer to listen to blue jazz when we sit in a coffee bar having a cup of coffee；but when we want to
dance, we prefer disco music. Different music decorates our everyday life. Without music, what a dull life it would be!
Moreover, music is the common language of people all over the world because unlike other kinds of language, music could be appreciated(欣赏) by all of them without translation(翻译). And it is a belt which will help to improve the friendship of different countries. As the spaceship carried two pieces of Chinese folk music High Mountain and Flowing Water into the space and broadcasted them, human kinds also want to share the language of outer space species, if there is any.
Nearly all the groups have their own kind of music which distinguishes (使有别于)them from each other. But all walks of people will admit that music is of great importance in the world.

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search suggests plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex (复杂的)and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.
The__idea__got__across__to__the__public,__with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.
I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short－lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.
【解题导语】　文章介绍了很多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更加聪明，但是研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明。
4．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B．Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C．There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.
D．There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.
D　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed”可知有极少的证据证明莫扎特效应，故选D项。
5．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that __________．　
A．the idea was accepted by many people
B．people were strongly against the idea
C．Mozart played an important part in people’s life
D．the US government helped promote the idea
A　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The idea got across to the public, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children...”可知有越来越多的父母给自己的孩子播放莫扎特的音乐，也就是说人们接受了这一观点，故选A项。
6．What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?
A．Favorable.　　　　　　　 B．Objective.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
D　解析：观点态度题。根据文章最后一段可知作者对莫扎特效应持怀疑态度，故选D项。
7．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Listening to Mozart, Necessary?
B．What Music Is Beneficial?
C．What Is the Mozart Effect?
D．To Accept Mozart or Not to?
A　解析：标题归纳题。通读文章可知，本文讲述了很多人相信听莫扎特的音乐会让人更加聪明，但是研究表明这种影响是短暂的，并不能让人们更加聪明，因此最佳题目是有必要听莫扎特的音乐吗，故选A项。

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth－century painters of the United States，yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls.At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until，at twenty－seven，she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then in New York State，at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930’s and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form.“I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it，” she said.

Dear Mary，
It was so nice to read your letter the other day. I have always dreamed about having a pen friend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.
Your horse Shannon sounds beautiful.I am very jealous(羡慕的) that you get to live on a farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings(兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.
Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.
I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in Central Park. In the other seasons, I go to an indoor rink(溜冰场). I am hoping to start entering ice skating competitions next year.
Anyway, I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!
Lots of love，
Megan

阅读理解
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating. In their opinion, it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
People lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldn’t get that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

阅读理解
A
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”， usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France, people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
【解题导语】　作者在本文中介绍了自己在泰国的经历，说明了不同的文化差异导致了人们彼此理解的困难，认为理解不同的价值观能促进人们之间的理解。

A　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的In many European countries—like the UK or France, people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office. 可知，在饭馆里吃饭可能与人更容易建立持久的工作关系。

B．too many words are of no use
C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature

A．By sharing different ways of life.
B．By accepting different habits.
C．By recognizing different values.
D．By speaking each other’s languages.

4．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Multicultural Environment
B．Cross-Cultural Differences
C．How to Understand Each Other
D．How to Build Up a Relationship

B
You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative(消极的) people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
【解题导语】　本文介绍了同消极的人和积极的人交往的不同之处。
5．How can negative people have an effect on us?
A．By telling us the nature of life.
B．By influencing our emotion.
C．By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
D．By changing our way of thinking.
B　解析：细节理解题。根据文中第一、二段可得知，与消极的人交谈会使自己感到郁闷，所以消极的人是会影响到我们的情绪和情感的。
6．Some negative people base their happiness on ________．
A．other people’s pity for them
B．building up a positive attitude
C．making other people unhappy
D．other people’s respect for them
C　解析：细节理解题。从第三段的“They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.”可推断出有些消极的人把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上。
7．According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised ________．
A．to change negative people’s attitude to life
B．to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C．to communicate with negative people as little as possible
D．to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
C　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. 得出答案选C。

孔祥东尝试民间音乐
上星期，著名古典音乐钢琴家孔祥东以一场将古典音乐与中国民间音乐相结合的演奏会让他的乐迷们感到惊喜。孔祥东解释他这样做是因为他想创作某些新的东西。孔祥东说：“作为一个音乐家，在世界上不同的城市演奏同一种音乐是非常枯燥的。”他还觉得，用钢琴演奏中国民间音乐有助于使它走向世界。

音乐一直是孔祥东生命中的一部分。他母亲酷爱音乐，所以他从出生起就生活在音乐当中。但是学习音乐对于年幼的孔祥东来说并不总是那么容易。直到他七岁时母亲才给他买了一架钢琴。她不得不把琴键画在一张纸上，以便他能尽早地学会弹琴。伴着母亲用手打的节拍，5岁的孔祥东在纸钢琴上练习。他被迫每天花很长时间练习弹奏钢琴，有时他都想放弃了。然而，他没有放弃，而且成为了一名伟大的钢琴家。1986年年仅18岁时，他成为了莫斯科柴可夫斯基国际钢琴比赛最年轻的获奖者。后来他又在世界各地的比赛中获得多项大奖。　　
Because of Kong’s talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing，he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity This is why he went back to his roots and rediscoveredthe beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.
Kong’s new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week，he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new，he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!
Whether Kong is changing his appearance ortransforming his music，he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong’s Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.

由于他的天赋和努力，孔祥东变得名扬天下。但是多年演奏之后，他觉得在某些方面他已经迷失了自我。这就是他追根溯源，重新发现中国民间音乐之美的原因。他开始尝试不同的风格，而他的“梦幻之旅音乐会”就是这种尝试的结果。
在中国民间音乐方面的新尝试对孔祥东非常重要，为此他甚至改变了自己的形象。上周在演奏第一场中国民间音乐时，他剃光了头发出现在舞台上！因为他觉得音乐风格更新了，发型也必须是新的！
不管孔祥东改变他的形象还是对音乐进行改革，他都是当今音乐界的先锋。上周的音乐会非常成功，因此他的“梦幻之旅音乐会”有望在北京、上海和其他主要城市进行为期两年的巡演，然后去巴黎和纽约。

(3)not until在强调句型中，应把not和until从句或短语一起放在被强调部分中。

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
【解题导语】　本文介绍了人们需要小睡的原因以及如何进行小睡才能有利于人的精力恢复和身体健康的知识。
5．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because you eat too much for lunch.
B．Because it’s hot in summer.
C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D．Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
C　解析：细节理解题。根据文中的At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. 可知，你的体温在醒后的大约八小时后会下降，所以你会感到困倦。
6．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
C．If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.
D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health.
D　解析：细节理解题。根据文中的Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. 可知，经常打个盹对你的健康总体是有好处的。
7．What can we infer from the passage?
A．You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔)．
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D．If you get up at 6：30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1：30 pm.
A　解析：推理判断题。根据文中的The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. 可知，通过实验发现，人们打盹间隔的时间是有规律的。
8．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest
B．All Need a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern
D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
B　解析：标题归纳题。本文通过实验介绍了小睡对于人的健康的好处。故本题答案为B项。
七选五
Verbal(言语的) communication is what most people use to express what they want to say. 1.________ When no one speaks your language and you badly need to be understood, the following tips will help.
First, you can learn the natives’(本国人的) language and there are many ways to learn their language. You can buy a book to learn common greetings in their own language.2.________ They may have some videos of a native who is teaching foreigners to speak his language.
Sometimes，non-verbal communication is also effective. For example, how will you ask where the nearest restaurant is through body language？3.________ They’ll understand that better than asking them, “Where is the nearest restaurant？”
If you’re not that good with body language, maybe you’re good at drawing things. 4.________ Simply draw cups and they’ll have some ideas of what you’re talking about.　
5．________ Then show them a picture of the thing you’re looking for or a picture of the place you’re going to. So, in this case, you should prepare pictures of common things and the places you’ll be going to just in case you’ll need to show the native some pictures.
Communicating when no one is speaking your language can be difficult at first. But as you gain a lot of experience, you’ll know which communication techniques work better than others.
A．What if you can’t draw?
B．For example, you need to buy some cups.
C．In many situations people tend to hide their feelings.

E．You can act like eating or you can act like you’re hungry.
F．Also, YouTube and other famous video resources can be used.
G．But what if your known verbal way of communicating can’t be understood?
【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。在一个陌生的国家，在不会说当地的语言的情况下怎么和当地人交流呢？下面这几点可以帮助你。
1．G　解析：根据上文Verbal(言语的) communication is what most people use to express what they want to say.可知，大多数人都会用语言来表达他们想说的话，但是如果我们所说的语言别人听不懂呢？
2．F　解析：根据下文They may have some videos of a native who is teaching foreigners to speak his language.可知，我们也可以使用YouTube和别的一些有名的录像资源。
3．E　解析：根据上文．..the nearest restaurant...可知，我们可以比划着吃饭或者肚子很饿的样子。
4．B　解析：根据下文Simply draw cups...可知，我们需要买杯子的时候，就画杯子。
5．A　解析：根据后文Then show them a picture of the thing you’re looking for or a picture of the place you’re going to.可知，如果我们不会画画怎么办呢？那就给他们看一些我们要找的东西的图片或者我们要去的地方的图片。

阅读理解
I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only have six months to live was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who attended to both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn’t complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness to others. You often can’t learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.
【解题导语】　作者在文中介绍了自己一个患癌症的朋友勇敢与病魔作斗争的故事。朋友的做法也使作者深受教育，更加重视家庭和对别人更友善了。

A．He was operated on immediately.
B．He retired from his job.
C．He researched cancer treatments.
D．He felt sad, doing nothing.
C　解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的第二句“However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life.”可知，他决心找到治疗他的病或者延长他生命的所有可能的方法。
2．What was the man’s main source of comfort after several months with the disease?
A．His family and friends.
B．His belief in humanity.
C．His doctors’ encouragement.
D．The care from others.
B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“... he took comfort in God and humanity”可知，是他对人性的信任。
3．What did the author learn from his friend’s story?
A．Giving more respect to friends.
B．Extending life as far as possible.
C．Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury.
D．Getting comfort from God.
A　解析：细节理解题。由最后一段第一句中的“such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness to others”可知，这样的经历教会我更重视家庭，对别人要友好。
4．What does the author mainly want to tell?
A．All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually.
B．Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation.
C．Families provide the best support system during such a crisis.
D．People should help those who have got serious illness.
B　解析：推理判断题。由文章最后一句可知，人们的性格和认知还需要经过一些不愉快的处境来塑造和提升。故选B。

A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town, but it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the ground. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking his baskets.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked，“Are these yours？”“Yes, sir，”The farmer answered timidly(胆怯地)．“Have you killed the man？”“No, no, sir，”The farmer said in a hurry.“When did you see the dead man？”“About seven last evening.”“Did you see who killed the man？”“No, sir.”The officer brought out a knife and asked，“Have you seen it yet？”“No, sir.”The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and sent him into prison.
That evening the officer went on trying. Pointing to the knife, he asked again，“Have you seen it yet？”“Yes, sir.”The officer was happy and asked，“When and where？”“I saw it here this afternoon, sir.”

For many years, scientists have warned that smoking tobacco is bad for your health. Yet people around the world still smoke. The World Health Organization(WHO) tells that almost 5，000，000 people around the world die each year from the effects of smoking. That number is increasing. WHO officials say tobacco use will have killed more than 8，000，000 people a year by 2020 if nothing is done to control the problem.
In the United States, more than forty-six million adults smoke now. American health experts say tobacco use is the leading cause of death in the United States. This year, more than 440，000 Americans will die of diseases linked to smoking.
Smoking tobacco is the leading cause of lung disease. Smoking also has been linked to heart disease and many kinds of cancers. The American Cancer Society says smoking is responsible for about 87% of all lung cancers in the United States.
American government health experts say smoking affects not only the smokers. Women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy are more likely to have babies with health problems. Pregnant women who smoke are at risk of having a baby who weighs less than normal. Low birth weight babies have an increased risk of early death and may suffer from a number of health disorders.
Experts say tobacco smoke also affects the health of people who do not smoke. Smokers may harm the health of family members and people at work when they breathe out smoke from cigarettes. This is called “second-hand smoke”．
The American Cancer Society says there is no safe way to smoke. It says smoking begins to cause damage immediately. All cigarettes can damage the body. Smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous.
【解题导语】　本文介绍了美国一些健康专家和组织对于吸烟和被动吸烟对人体的危害的一些看法。

A．The Harmful Effects of Smoking
B．People Around the World Continue to Smoke
C．Smoking Is the Leading Cause of Lung Diseases

A．the period of studying in school
B．the state of being old

4．According to the text, it can be inferred that the author ________．
A．prefers smoking
B．thinks people had better not smoke
C．thinks smoking is not dangerous
D．thinks nothing should be done to control the problem

B
Nowadays, more and more people are unable to sleep due to various of reasons.
What will you do if you have trouble going to sleep? Try a glass of warm milk, still no luck? Try counting sheep，“one, two, three...”It is late but you are still awake. Are you supposed to take a sleeping pill? No, because if you take it, you will probably depend on the drugs. So you lie awake all night hoping that the new workday will arrive soon. A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia.”No, cerebral hypothermia is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain. Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined 12 people who had insomnia. Twelve others had no sleep problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their heads at bed time, which had tubes(管子) inside filled with water. The first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler. The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads. Dr. Nofzinger and Dr. Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study. But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research. They presented their test results in June at a meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
【解题导语】　本文是关于人的失眠问题的。介绍了一种新的研究结论：降低大脑的温度可能会改善人的睡眠状况。
5．What do we know about the study?

B．The researchers wore the cap every night.
C．The caps were made of cloth.
D．The study lasted six nights.
A　解析：细节理解题。根据文中的They examined 12 people who had insomnia. Twelve others had no sleep problems. 可知，半数的人有睡眠问题。
6．The underlined word “insomnia” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．carelessness　　　　　　 B．sleeplessness
C．loneliness D．tiredness
B　解析：词义猜测题。根据文中的Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads. 可知，这里指的是睡不着觉的人。
7．Dr. Nofzinger and Dr. Buysse agreed that ________．
A．people can sleep better by wearing caps
B．the water caps worked if the water was frozen
C．more research should be done
D．the researchers finished the study in June
C　解析：推理判断题。根据文中的But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research. 可知，但是他们认为自己发现了一些需要更进一步研究的重要东西。
8．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Cooling the brain may help people sleep.
B．Taking sleeping pills is not good for health.
C．Water helps people get up easily.
D．Many people can’t sleep well at night.
A　解析：主旨大意题。根据文中的A new study has found that...It just means cooling down your brain. 可知，本文是关于一项新的研究的，降低大脑的温度有利于改善睡眠。故选A项。

1．the　解析：考查定冠词。most是形容词的最高级形式，其前应用定冠词限定，故填the。
2．It　解析：考查代词。It is believed that...意为“据说……，人们认为……”。
3．using　解析：考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。设空处作状语，因upper-class Victorians in England与use之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填using。
4．held　解析：考查过去分词作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语修饰meeting，因hold与meeting之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且hold所表示的动作已完成，故填held。
5．to make　解析：考查不定式作定语的用法。chance后接带to的不定式作定语，因the sport与make之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填to make。
6．has progressed　解析：考查现在完成时。由since it was first invented可知，此处应用现在完成时，故填has progressed。
7．specially　解析：考查副词。设空处作状语修饰非谓语动词developed，故填specially。
8．magical　解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰feeling，表示“有魔力的，不可思议的”，故填magical。
9．who/that　解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词millions(指人)，且在从句中作主语，故填who/that。
10．will be played　解析：考查一般将来时的被动语态。由in the future可知，play所表示的动作尚未发生，应用一般将来时，且table tennis与play之间是被动关系，故填will be played。
短文改错
During the holiday of National Day, I saw a heated crime action movie naming Operation Mekong，that was based on a true story known as the Mekong Massacre. Two Chinese commercial vessels were hijacked while traveling down the Mekong River of the Golden Triangle, one of the large drug－manufacturing region in the world. All 13 sailors killed, and 900，000 methamphetamine pills were found on the spot by Thailand officials. The Chinese government sent a group of admirable officers to the Golden Triangle so as to uncover a truth of the case. The police informer in Thailand concentrated all her attention on the usual clues. By updating clues constant, he assisted his colleagues to acquire thorough evidence of the crime. Eventually officers cracked the criminal organization and brought criminals to justice. All in all, I highly recommend this film to all of you, so it is eye－catching and thought－provoking, and I think it is worth to seeing.

③No matter who takes up the matter for me，I shall be very grateful.
不管谁为我处理这件事，我都将非常感激。
wh-ever
(whatever，
whoever，
whenever，
whichever，
however)
①wh-ever从句中的动词有时可以和may连用；
②判断wh-ever引导的是让步状语从句还是名词性从句的一点是：名词性从句，主句中一定有一个成分要在从句中担任某一成分，一般从句与主句之间没有逗号；
③不可将no matter与wh-ever连用
①Whatever happens/may happen，we shall not lose heart.
无论发生什么，我们都不要失去信心。

Carol Vaness, the well－known American opera singer, was born in San Diego and began her professional performance in San Francisco. She has sung at many of the major opera houses in the world. Unlike other world－famous male opera singers, she was particularly known for her Mozart operatic roles.
At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater，”Carol explains.“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer.
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen－year－old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano(女高音) voice—the highest singing voice for women.
Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten why she started singing in the first place.“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it，”says Carol，“because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”

When talking about humor, people often refer to famous humorists such as Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by the pen-name Mark Twain.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, America’s famous writer, journalist and humorist, was born in Florida on November 30，1835. He was the sixth of the seven children in the family. As a child, Samuel was often kept indoors because of his poor health.
When Samuel was 12, his father died of a deadly disease and at the age of 13, Samuel had to leave school to make a living. He became a printer’s apprentice(学徒). A year later, he became skilled at printing by working and studying hard. Samuel was then employed as a printer with pay. After two years, he became an editorial assistant. It was then that young Samuel became aware of his fondness for writing.
When he was 17 years old, Samuel left Hannibal for a printer’s job in St. Louis. While staying in St. Louis, Samuel became a river pilot in 1858. His pen-name, Mark Twain, came from his days as a river pilot. It is a river term meaning “safe to sail”．
Because the river trade was brought to a stop by the Civil War in 1861, Samuel began working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States. Samuel’s career took off and he became famous when his story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country appeared in the New York Saturday Press on November 18，1865. Samuel’s first book, The Innocents Abroad was published in 1896. The two novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(in 1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(in 1885) brought him worldwide popularity. He wrote 28 books and numerous humor stories, letters and plays.
Mark Twain passed away on April 21，1910. To remember him, his childhood home was open to the public as a museum in Hannibal.

A
Last Friday, I was coming home late after spending time with friends and thought I’d go down to the $99 cent pizza place. On the way, I saw a man sitting on the stairs alone there. I’d seen him before every day I run late to work, but this time I had no place to rush off to.
There was something about him, a quiet manner, different from many of other homeless people I had seen in New York City. I walked past him, went to the pizza place, and those 10 seconds waiting in line was enough to practice stepping outside of my usual, familiar flow. So with a few slices in hand, I went back to join him. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes, but not for pizza because it made him uncomfortable. He’d rather have a few bucks for chicken and rice since it was easier on his stomach. It’s funny; in that moment, he became more real to me.
This man I had seen almost every day was someone with specific conditions, needs, and experiences. We exchanged names and ended up talking for a little over an hour that night as Kevin told me stories from his life, how he had done things when “he was younger and didn’t know any better” and how he tried to make amends (补偿) but too much time had passed. He shared his views on the value for young adults to learn the history of other people.
He talked about his one wish being in his 60s before he leaves this earth, which is to share his story with the teenagers and young adults so they could avoid the mistakes he went through. Throughout the conversation, he eventually got his chicken and rice and gifted me a rose he had been carrying. Shortly afterwards, I made my way home, thinking to myself，“I met an amazing homeless person”．

As early as 1894，the newly-formed International Olympic Committee(IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.
In 1911，a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki.Some opposed the idea.At last，the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920，the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix，in the French Alps，planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924，at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac，a member of the IOC，suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn’t go that far，but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding(雪橇车比赛)，figure skating，hockey，Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal，in the 500-meter speed skating，but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating.
Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics，and so it was at Chamonix.The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.
Despite the weather，more than 10，000 people showed up.At its yearly meeting in 1925，the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years，just like the Summer Olympics.
【解题导语】　本文简单介绍了冬季奥运会的由来。
4．Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?
A．Because the IOC didn’t agree to it.
B．Because it was still under discussion.
C．Because some people opposed the idea.
D．Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.
D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However，World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.”可知是第一次世界大战打断了冬奥会的进程。
5．How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games?
A．16.　　　　　　　　　　 B．24.
C．28. D．29.
C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896”可知第一届现代奥运会是1896年召开；根据第三段和最后一段可知第一届冬奥会是1924年召开，通过计算可知C正确。
6．We can know from the passage that ________．
A．the weather destroyed the first Winter Olympics
B．people from 16 countries watched the first Winter Olympics
C．Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter Olympics
D．Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics
D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“...Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals，three of which were gold，in speed skating.”可知芬兰的Claus Thunberg在速滑中得到了3枚金牌，由此可推断芬兰至少在速滑中得到了3枚金牌。
7．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．The Development of the Olympics
B．The Importance of Weather in the Olympics
C．The Story of the First Winter Olympic Games
D．How Did the Winter Olympics Come into Being?
D　解析：标题归纳题。阅读全文可知本文讲述的是冬季奥运会发展形成的整个过程，所以D正确。

Music
Music is a universal language to all human beings, which has the most powerful magic in the world. First, it can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically, thus helping reduce our pressure at work and life. Second, music can cheer us up whenever we meet difficulties and feel sad. In addition, music can be of great help to learn another culture.
There are different varieties of music, such as popular music, classical music, country music, jazz music, rap music, rock music and so on.
Of all the music, I like popular music best. For one thing, with beautiful melody, it is pleasant to hear; for another, most popular music deals with the topics of love and friendship, which appeals to us young people.
