Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again. Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times. Unconsciously(无意识地)，this is the way our minds work to pass history on. There was a time when writing, reading, books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all. Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation. People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past. This is called the “oral(口述的) tradition”．
Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth. Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and grandchildren. Can you recall any of this? I can. How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?
Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids. As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room. He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees. Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor.
We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days. Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends. So oral tradition goes on and on.

Generally, the blues are often associated with unhappy things. For example, if you lose your job, you might want to listen to the blues. Although the blues often deal with unhappy personal things, the music itself goes far beyond self-pity. The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of sadness, making you relaxed, and simply having fun.
The blues has deep roots in American history, particularly African-American history. The blues began in Southern plantations(大农场) in the 19th century. Its inventors were slaves, ex-slaves and the children of slaves—African-American sharecroppers(佃农) who sang as they worked in the cotton and vegetable fields.
The blues grew up in the Mississippi Delta just upriver from New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. Blues and jazz have always influenced each other, and they still influence each other in many ways today. Unlike jazz, the blues didn’t spread out quickly from the South to the Midwest until the 1930s and 1940s. When the Delta blues made their way up the Mississippi to urban areas, the music developed into electrified Chicago blues, other regional blues styles, and various jazz-blues hybrids. About ten years later, the blues gave birth to rhythms(节奏) ‘n’ blues and rock ‘n’ roll.
No single person invented the blues, but many people said they had discovered different styles of the blues. For example, a bandleader, W．C. Handy insisted that the blues was first shown to him in 1903 by a street guitarist at a train station in Tutwiler, Mississippi.
During the middle to late 1800s, the Deep South was home to hundreds of important bluesmen who helped to shape the music. Unfortunately, much of this original music followed these sharecroppers to their graves. But the music of these earliest blues pioneers can still be heard in the recordings of 1920s and 1930s from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and other Southern states.

The Beatles：Influencing the Past,
Present, and Future
When the Beatles first arrived in the United States in 1964, the British rock band brought hope to millions of young Americans. At a recent event in New York City, Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of ABC’s The View, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana, and Steve Van Zandt, a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, talked about the British group’s far-reaching influence.
The stars told more than 200 local students how the Beatles had shaped their own lives and careers(事业), and how the band’s music continues to influence new generations(代) of young people.
“Girls were blowing their heads off，” said Goldberg, who grew up in New York City. She remembered
the joy that she felt when her mother surprised her with tickets to a Beatles concert at Shea Stadium in 1965.
The Beatles won the hearts of countless fans with their love songs. As their popularity grew, so did their musical range(范围)．
“They started out with these really nice sing-along pop songs, but in a pretty short period of time, they had blossomed(发展)，” said Grohl. The Beatles, he added, went on to write “lyrics(歌词) that meant something really important. They were brave, creatively.”
More than 50 years later, the Beatles’ music lives on. “They set the standards，” said Van Zandt, who set up the Rock and Roll Forever Foundation in 2007. The organizat ion provides online materials about the history of music to students and teachers.
“There is nothing better than music” to help educate kids, Van Zandt said. “It is truly the universal common language.”

1．甲壳虫乐队(The Beatles)是一支英国摇滚乐队，于1960年在英格兰利物浦市成立，由约翰·列侬、林戈·斯塔尔、保罗·麦卡特尼和乔治·哈里森四名成员组成。其音乐风格源自20世纪50年代的摇滚乐，之后开拓了迷幻摇滚、流行摇滚等曲风，多首单曲和专辑都获得英国流行音乐排行榜冠军，还多次获得格莱美奖。1970年乐队解散。虽然从成立到解散，甲壳虫乐队仅仅存在了十年的时间，但是乐队作为一个音乐文化的革命者，不仅拥有令后人难以企及的唱片销售纪录，而且他们的文化影响力也早已超过了本身。
2．门基乐队(The Monkees)是一支美国本土乐队，由四人组成，于20世纪60年代兴起，在1966年到1968年期间深受美国及英国年轻人欢迎，被誉为美国的“甲壳虫乐队”，乐队于1970年解散。

并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗？你曾梦想过在音乐会上对着成千上万的观众演奏，音乐会上的每个人都欣赏你的音乐并为你鼓掌吗？你是否唱卡拉OK，并假装自己是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌唱家？说实在地，很多人把名和利看得很重要。但是人们是怎样组建一支乐队的呢？
许多音乐家聚在一起组建一支乐队，因为他们喜欢自己作曲并演奏自己的音乐。他们起初可能是一群高中生，对他们来说，在某个人家里练习音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路者演奏，这样他们可以为自己或自己要买的乐器挣一些额外的钱。后来，他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出，这样他们可以得到现金。当然，他们希望在录音棚里制作唱片，然后卖掉数百万张唱片，从而成为百万富翁！
然而，有一支用不同方式组建起来的乐队。它叫门基乐队，是以电视节目的形式开始的。组成乐队的音乐人一边演奏音乐，一边彼此打趣逗笑。这些玩笑和音乐大多都在模仿“甲壳虫”乐队。电视制作人原计划寻找四位既能表演又能唱歌的音乐人。他们在报纸上登了一则广告，寻找摇滚乐手，但他们只能找到一个足够好的。他们不得不用演员来充当乐队的其他三名成员。
由于这些演员中的有些人唱得不够好，他们不得不依靠其他乐手帮助他们。所以在演出的时候他们只是假唱。不管怎样，他们的表演非常幽默，足以被其他乐队模仿。他们如此受欢迎，以至于粉丝们为了更熟悉他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上弹奏和演唱由其他音乐人创作的歌曲。然而，在大约一年以后，门基乐队对他们的工作变得更加认真了，他们开始像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片，并且开始巡回表演他们自己的音乐。在美国，他们变得甚至比甲壳虫乐队更受欢迎，也售出了更多的唱片。这个乐队大约在1970年解散，但令人高兴的是，他们在20世纪80年代中期重组了。1996年他们出了一张新唱片，以此来庆祝他们以往作为一支真正的乐队的时光。

Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again. Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times. Unconsciously(无意识地)，this is the way our minds work to pass history on. There was a time when writing, reading, books, radio, TV and electronics of today were not present at all. Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation. People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past. This is called the “oral(口述的) tradition”．
Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth. Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and grandchildren. Can you recall any of this? I can. How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?
Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids. As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin’s laughter filled the room. He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees. Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor.
We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days. Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends. So oral tradition goes on and on.

Generally, the blues are often associated with unhappy things. For example, if you lose your job, you might want to listen to the blues. Although the blues often deal with unhappy personal things, the music itself goes far beyond self-pity. The blues is also about overcoming hard luck, saying what you feel, ridding yourself of sadness, making you relaxed, and simply having fun.
The blues has deep roots in American history, particularly African-American history. The blues began in Southern plantations(大农场) in the 19th century. Its inventors were slaves, ex-slaves and the children of slaves—African-American sharecroppers(佃农) who sang as they worked in the cotton and vegetable fields.
The blues grew up in the Mississippi Delta just upriver from New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. Blues and jazz have always influenced each other, and they still influence each other in many ways today. Unlike jazz, the blues didn’t spread out quickly from the South to the Midwest until the 1930s and 1940s. When the Delta blues made their way up the Mississippi to urban areas, the music developed into electrified Chicago blues, other regional blues styles, and various jazz-blues hybrids. About ten years later, the blues gave birth to rhythms(节奏) ‘n’ blues and rock ‘n’ roll.
No single person invented the blues, but many people said they had discovered different styles of the blues. For example, a bandleader, W．C. Handy insisted that the blues was first shown to him in 1903 by a street guitarist at a train station in Tutwiler, Mississippi.
During the middle to late 1800s, the Deep South was home to hundreds of important bluesmen who helped to shape the music. Unfortunately, much of this original music followed these sharecroppers to their graves. But the music of these earliest blues pioneers can still be heard in the recordings of 1920s and 1930s from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and other Southern states.

My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢)．
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队)．I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade，but probably because my body was different.All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band.And it paid off!
Music gives me energy.That happens sometimes.One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed.Then I hit my MP3 player by accident.A song came on, and I got up and started dancing.It helped me say to myself，“OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.

No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地)．
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous(勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden(负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

A
My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢)．
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队)．I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade，but probably because my body was different.All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band.And it paid off!
Music gives me energy.That happens sometimes.One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed.Then I hit my MP3 player by accident.A song came on, and I got up and started dancing.It helped me say to myself，“OK, I can get through today.”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It’s a normal problem that we musicians share. When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations. It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.

No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地)．
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous(勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden(负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

Born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871, Emily Carr was the second-youngest of nine children born to English parents.
Carr’s mother died in 1886. Carr showed interest in art at an early age, and her father encouraged her to pursue the interest. However, it was only in 1890, after her parents’ deaths, that Carr followed her dream seriously. She studied at the San Francisco Art Institute for two years(1890－1892) before returning to Victoria.In 1899, Carr traveled to London, where she studied at the Westminster School of Art.
In 1898，at age 27, Carr made the first of several sketching(画素描) and painting trips to some local people’s villages. She stayed in a village near Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island, home to the Nuu-chah-nulth people, then commonly known to English-speaking people as “Nootka”. Carr recalled that her time in Ucluelet made a lasting impression on her. In 1912, Carr took a sketching trip to Indian villages on the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Upper Skeena River, and Alert bay.
Determined to further her knowledge of the age’s artistic trends, in 1910, Carr returned to Europe to study at the Academie Colarossi in Paris. In Montparnasse, Emily Carr met modernist painter Harry Gibb.Upon viewing his work, she showed a great interest in his use of color. She had never thought color could be used in that way. Carr’s study with Gibb and his techniques shaped and influenced her style of painting, and she formed a vibrant(充满生气的) color style rather than continuing with her earlier British training.
Carr was also greatly influenced by the Fauvists(野兽派画家) she met and studied with in France. After returning home in 1912, she organized an exhibition in her studio. She was the first artist to introduce Fauvism to Vancouver.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。Emily Carr 是一位英国画家，她在巴黎学习后，画风得到了很大的改变。

3．After looking at Harry Gibb’s works, how did Carr most probably feel?
A．Worried. B．Amazed.
C．Confused. D．Disappointed.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的Upon viewing his work, she showed a great interest in his use of color. She had never thought color could be used in that way.可推断，Carr当时很惊讶，她没想到还能那样运用色彩。

A．Her father’s advice.
B．Her childhood life.

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, have something to sing about. For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes. They didn’t have the money to pay for them. But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.
Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school. And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower. For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a five-year study. They found that the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t.
Though most people aren’t against teaching music in schools, not everyone says it’s necessary.
Many school officials argue(争论) that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life.
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them!
Taking music lessons can also build character. In 2015, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education. More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused(集中注意力的)．
—Noah Falcon, New Jersey
At my school, we don’t have music classes. I think that’s OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It’s more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing.
If someone wants to take music lessons, he or she can do it outside of school. Once I took a mariachi(墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school, so it didn’t take time away from my other classes.
—Sophia Salazar, California
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，文章探讨了儿童是否应该在学校上音乐课。

青蛙弗雷迪(2)
在弗雷迪和这个乐队成名后不久，他们就去英国进行了一次短暂的巡回演出。歌迷们表现出了他们极大的热情，等候几个小时买他们音乐会的票。现在弗雷迪在步入音乐厅时感到非常自信。他喜欢演唱，也喜欢演出后的所有祝贺！最令他激动的是他受邀在一个叫“Top of the Pops”的电视节目中表演。他得去伦敦，穿着昂贵的西装，对着电视摄像机演唱。感觉很不自在。而节目一结束，这个房间里的电话就开始响起来。大家都在问他们什么时候可以再次看到弗雷迪和他的乐队。他们真的成了明星！

Born in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871, Emily Carr was the second-youngest of nine children born to English parents.
Carr’s mother died in 1886. Carr showed interest in art at an early age, and her father encouraged her to pursue the interest. However, it was only in 1890, after her parents’ deaths, that Carr followed her dream seriously. She studied at the San Francisco Art Institute for two years(1890－1892) before returning to Victoria.In 1899, Carr traveled to London, where she studied at the Westminster School of Art.
In 1898，at age 27, Carr made the first of several sketching(画素描) and painting trips to some local people’s villages. She stayed in a village near Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island, home to the Nuu-chah-nulth people, then commonly known to English-speaking people as “Nootka”. Carr recalled that her time in Ucluelet made a lasting impression on her. In 1912, Carr took a sketching trip to Indian villages on the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Upper Skeena River, and Alert bay.
Determined to further her knowledge of the age’s artistic trends, in 1910, Carr returned to Europe to study at the Academie Colarossi in Paris. In Montparnasse, Emily Carr met modernist painter Harry Gibb.Upon viewing his work, she showed a great interest in his use of color. She had never thought color could be used in that way. Carr’s study with Gibb and his techniques shaped and influenced her style of painting, and she formed a vibrant(充满生气的) color style rather than continuing with her earlier British training.
Carr was also greatly influenced by the Fauvists(野兽派画家) she met and studied with in France. After returning home in 1912, she organized an exhibition in her studio. She was the first artist to introduce Fauvism to Vancouver.

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, have something to sing about. For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes. They didn’t have the money to pay for them. But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.
Many school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to school. And studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower. For example, researchers from the University of Southern California recently released the results of a five-year study. They found that the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t.
Though most people aren’t against teaching music in schools, not everyone says it’s necessary.
Many school officials argue(争论) that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life.
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them!
Taking music lessons can also build character. In 2015, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey on music education. More than 60 percent of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child became more focused(集中注意力的)．
—Noah Falcon, New Jersey
At my school, we don’t have music classes. I think that’s OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It’s more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play an instrument or sing.
If someone wants to take music lessons, he or she can do it outside of school. Once I took a mariachi(墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school, so it didn’t take time away from my other classes.
—Sophia Salazar, California
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文，文章探讨了儿童是否应该在学校上音乐课。
5．What change has happened in primary schools in Bellaire this year?
A．Music classes are offered.
B．The school year is shortened.
C．Singing is allowed in schools.
D．Kids can get prizes if they learn music.
A 解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的For the past eight years, public primary schools in that town didn’t offer music classes.和But the school district got some support to bring back music this school year.的对比可知，该地区的小学今年开设了音乐课。
6．What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Create. B．Prevent.
C．Increase. D．Discover.
C 解析：词义猜测题。由第二段中介绍的研究结果the brains of 10-and 11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn’t.可知，音乐课可以促进脑力的开发。
7．What does Noah Falcon think of music education?
A．It is unnecessary.
B．It is very important.
C．It is a waste of money.
D．It is easy to continue.
B 解析：推理判断题。由Noah Falcon表达的观点it makes learning more fun和Taking music lessons can also build character.可知，他认为音乐教育很重要。
8．What can we learn about Sophia Salazar?
A．She didn’t like music at all.
B．Music brings her more fun.
C．Music helps her keep focused.
D．She took a music class after school.
D 解析：细节理解题。由Sophia Salazar 自述的I took a mariachi(墨西哥流浪乐队音乐) class after school可知答案。

阅读理解
Since I was born, I have been listening to music all the time. Not just any music, but the right kind of music.
It may seem strange to say that, but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate(了解不多的) simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra(交响乐团). They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound—it is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.
My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.
My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.
Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited(继承) something of that from him. Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness—a real show business personality(性格)．

七选五
Deciding whether or not to take part in an extracurricular(课外的) activity can be a challenge(挑战). Before signing up to play on the volleyball team, first consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision.
1．________ Students are successful when they take part in many activities. They do well in their classes and feel more connected to school. Research shows that students in extracurricular activities have better attendance and grades.
Extracurricular activities also help students make new friends and lasting relationships. 2.________ Even though we became friends a long time ago, we are still close today.
While these activities have many advantages, students should consider the downside as well. 3.________ Extracurricular activities can be too much for students who do not practise good time management. Students need to be good at managing their time between different activities.
Another downside to extracurricular activities involves transportation. 4.________ This situation limits students’extracurricular choices to those outside the school and closer to home. A few of my classmates joined the school’s cultural club. They later discovered that it met after school. These students dropped out of the club because they had to catch their buses.
Only you can decide if extracurricular activities are right for you. Activities outside the school can help you succeed in many areas of your life. 5.________ Are you up for a challenge?
A．We were both in the eight-and-under age group.
B．Some clubs or sports meet before or after school.
C．One downside is that it can create a busy life for students.
D．Many students are tired from all the things they have to do.

1．E 解析：本空为本段的主题句，本段主要阐述了参加课外活动的学生们在学习方面表现更突出，即参加课外活动的好处。
2．F 解析：本空是对前一句的举例说明，且下一句中的we became friends与F项中的I met my best friend在语意上相关。
3．C 解析：由本空前一句可知，本段开始阐述参加课外活动的弊端；而本空后面的内容是对本空的进一步解释说明，阐述的是其中一个弊端，即让学生们更繁忙。
4．B 解析：B项内容与下一句形成因果关系，本空后面的This situation指代B项内容。
5．G 解析：本空前一句与G项内容形成转折关系，即课外活动虽有好处，但学生们需要恰当巧妙地安排时间，以应对繁忙的生活。
语法填空
Traffic jams(堵塞) are a common problem in larger cities. In some cities, traffic jams get so bad during rush hours that it is sometimes 1.____________(fast) to walk than to drive.

One reason 6.____________(be) that the shared streets-system encourages people to be more 7.____________(care).

Also, the shared streets system decreases(减少) traffic jams because without fixed(固定的) parking spaces, it is easier for cars to move around 10.____________(free) when there is a lot of traffic.
1．faster 解析：考查形容词比较级。设空处所在句意为“在高峰期有时步行比开车还快”，设空处应用fast的比较级，故填faster。
2．results 解析：考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“结果”，由其前的some可知，此处应用名词复数，故填results。
3．is called 解析：考查一般现在时的被动语态。system与call构成逻辑上的被动关系，且此处介绍的是一般情况，故应用一般现在时的被动语态。
4．to go 解析：考查动词不定式作宾补的用法。cause sth. to do sth.意为“使某物做某事”。
5．there 解析：考查there be结构。both在此指代traffic jams和accidents，设空处所在句意为“到目前为止，交通堵塞和交通事故都有大幅度的减少”，故填there。there be表示“存在”。
6．is 解析：考查主谓一致。此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，因为主语是One reason，故填is。
7．careful 解析：考查形容词作表语的用法。more与设空处作表语，由slow down可知，设空处表示“小心的”，故填形容词careful。
8．to 解析：考查介词。设空处所在句意为“没有交通规则，人们往往会放慢速度，注意其他车辆”，故填介词to。pay attention to...意为“注意……”。
9．which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明先行词signs，故填which。
10．freely 解析：考查副词。设空处作状语修饰move around，表示“自由地”，故填副词freely。

My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.
My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.
Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited(继承) something of that from him. Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness—a real show business personality(性格)．

七选五
Deciding whether or not to take part in an extracurricular(课外的) activity can be a challenge(挑战). Before signing up to play on the volleyball team, first consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision.
1．________ Students are successful when they take part in many activities. They do well in their classes and feel more connected to school. Research shows that students in extracurricular activities have better attendance and grades.
Extracurricular activities also help students make new friends and lasting relationships. 2.________ Even though we became friends a long time ago, we are still close today.
While these activities have many advantages, students should consider the downside as well. 3.________ Extracurricular activities can be too much for students who do not practise good time management. Students need to be good at managing their time between different activities.
Another downside to extracurricular activities involves transportation. 4.________ This situation limits students’extracurricular choices to those outside the school and closer to home. A few of my classmates joined the school’s cultural club. They later discovered that it met after school. These students dropped out of the club because they had to catch their buses.
Only you can decide if extracurricular activities are right for you. Activities outside the school can help you succeed in many areas of your life. 5.________ Are you up for a challenge?
A．We were both in the eight-and-under age group.
B．Some clubs or sports meet before or after school.
C．One downside is that it can create a busy life for students.
D．Many students are tired from all the things they have to do.
E．Taking part in extracurricular activities has many advantages.
F．I met my best friend when we were on the YMCA swim team.
G．However, you need good time management skills to deal with a busy life.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。要不要参加课外活动对于许多学生来说是个需要权衡利弊的问题。
1．E 解析：本空为本段的主题句，本段主要阐述了参加课外活动的学生们在学习方面表现更突出，即参加课外活动的好处。
2．F 解析：本空是对前一句的举例说明，且下一句中的we became friends与F项中的I met my best friend在语意上相关。
3．C 解析：由本空前一句可知，本段开始阐述参加课外活动的弊端；而本空后面的内容是对本空的进一步解释说明，阐述的是其中一个弊端，即让学生们更繁忙。
4．B 解析：B项内容与下一句形成因果关系，本空后面的This situation指代B项内容。
5．G 解析：本空前一句与G项内容形成转折关系，即课外活动虽有好处，但学生们需要恰当巧妙地安排时间，以应对繁忙的生活。
语法填空
Traffic jams(堵塞) are a common problem in larger cities. In some cities, traffic jams get so bad during rush hours that it is sometimes 1.____________(fast) to walk than to drive. Traffic accidents are also a problem. Sadly these problems are not easy to solve. However, a traffic system(系统) being tested in several cities in Northern Europe has led to some surprising 2.____________(result)．
The system 3.____________(call) “shared-streets”. It is a system that has very few traffic laws. As a result, shared-street areas have no traffic lights or street signs. Although most people would expect this to cause the number of traffic jams and accidents 4.____________(go) up, until now 5.____________ has been a great drop in both. One reason 6.____________(be) that the shared streets-system encourages people to be more 7.____________(care). Without traffic rules, people slow down and pay more attention 8.____________ each other. Normal traffic systems, on the other hand, depend on signs, 9.____________ people often miss or don’t follow, leading to accidents. Also, the shared streets system decreases(减少) traffic jams because without fixed(固定的) parking spaces, it is easier for cars to move around 10.____________(free) when there is a lot of traffic.
1．faster 解析：考查形容词比较级。设空处所在句意为“在高峰期有时步行比开车还快”，设空处应用fast的比较级，故填faster。
2．results 解析：考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“结果”，由其前的some可知，此处应用名词复数，故填results。
3．is called 解析：考查一般现在时的被动语态。system与call构成逻辑上的被动关系，且此处介绍的是一般情况，故应用一般现在时的被动语态。
4．to go 解析：考查动词不定式作宾补的用法。cause sth. to do sth.意为“使某物做某事”。
5．there 解析：考查there be结构。both在此指代traffic jams和accidents，设空处所在句意为“到目前为止，交通堵塞和交通事故都有大幅度的减少”，故填there。there be表示“存在”。
6．is 解析：考查主谓一致。此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，因为主语是One reason，故填is。
7．careful 解析：考查形容词作表语的用法。more与设空处作表语，由slow down可知，设空处表示“小心的”，故填形容词careful。
8．to 解析：考查介词。设空处所在句意为“没有交通规则，人们往往会放慢速度，注意其他车辆”，故填介词to。pay attention to...意为“注意……”。
9．which 解析：考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明先行词signs，故填which。
10．freely 解析：考查副词。设空处作状语修饰move around，表示“自由地”，故填副词freely。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Students in a college French class have helped fill the empty bookshelves of a very poor Haitian(海地的) school by writing 90 books. Although many children in Haiti speak Creole(克里奥尔语) at home, French is taught in classrooms and used by the government, and students are asked to know the language in order to get further education. Therefore, the class hoped to provide resources to help the young students learn French well.
The project, called Little French Books, was headed up by Jennifer Shotwell, a French professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Shotwell had visited Haiti with a group of students in 2013 to support a Haitian student and give books to a new library. Following the trip, Shotwell brought the experience back to her classroom.
“My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by writing children’s books，” Shotwell said. “Though some learners don’t think they can produce much with a new language, my students are learning to express themselves and create entertaining stories that we finally share with disadvantaged children who are also learning French.”
Shotwell had sent French books to Haitian schools, but they were printed on cheap paper that could be easily broken. So she started a Kickstarter, which collected more than $1，000 to make books with durable covers.
The books, which included stories about princesses, dinosaurs and exciting experiences，were given to the St. Gabriel’s school in Lascahobas.
“Each time a child gets into a new book, he will no doubt get new knowledge and new understanding. The Little French Books means a lot to our students，” said Gardy Myrtil, a teacher at the school.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个法语班的大学生们自己动手为落后的海地学校编写图书，帮助当地的学生更好地学习法语。
21．Why do the college students create books for children in Haiti?
A．To help the children learn French.
B．To follow the government’s requirements.
C．To stop the children from speaking Creole.
D．To make the library open with enough books.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的．..to help the young students learn French well可知，法语班的大学生们希望通过编写书籍来帮助海地的孩子学习法语。
22．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “durable” in Paragraph 4?
A．Strong. B．Colorful.
C．Beautiful. D．Thin.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段的第一句可知，Shotwell曾经给海地学校寄过书，但是这些书的纸张质量很差，很容易破裂。由此可以推知，Kickstarter通过筹集资金后制作的图书的封皮更加耐用。durable意为“耐用的；持久的”，在文章中可以用strong来代替。
23．What does Gardy Myrtil want to say in the last paragraph?
A．More libraries should be open for kids.
B．She is grateful to the project for its effort.
C．Kids should read more books in their free time.
D．The more books the kids read, the cleverer they’ll be.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Gardy Myrtil说明了读书对于孩子们的意义，并强调了Little French Books项目对学生们的重要性。这位老师意在感谢这一项目在促进学生阅读方面提供的巨大帮助。
B
In recent years, I’ve found mental illness has been a term largely avoided in conversation, and this has built a huge stigma(耻辱) against those suffering from depression(抑郁), anxiety, and other mental illnesses.What’s worse, mental illness is only brought up when the news draws our attention to it, but then the conversation quiets until the next sad thing happens.
It’s time for the conversation to continue. Instead of waiting for the next sad thing, we need to be open about mental health and about the struggles that come with mental illness and treatment. We need to develop an environment where people feel comfortable to ask for the help they need instead of hiding.
It takes a long time, but I am now open about my anxiety and depression. I’m open about my taking medication to treat my mental illnesses. I’m open about the struggle of finding the medication that works. I encourage everyone to do the same. Be honest and open with your conversations about mental health. The more comfortable people are with these conversations, the easier it will be for the conversation to continue. A continued conversation will lead to more ideas on treatment and more ideas on how to give help to those who need it.
We have the ability to help those we love and break the stigma around mental illness. Mental illness can actually affect anyone, impacting one out of every four people.
In short, let’s keep the conversation about mental health and mental illness open. Be sure to check up on your friends, and be open about the importance of mental health. If you’re comfortable, share your story, which may let others know they are not alone.

There have been some suggestions lately calling for the end of traffic in some cities by the year 2034. In order to reduce(减少) all this traffic, governments are planning to take away one of its biggest contributors(促成物)—cars. But is this a good idea? Our first reaction may be NO-NO-NO. They’re taking away our cars and how can we travel in the city daily? But when you consider the problem a little longer, you may find the plans quite sound and realistic. Here’s why：
The one thing that annoys(使烦恼) most big cities is the non-stop heavy traffic. You have to see how terrible it is to drive into a very busy city centre—London, Miami, Tokyo? I’d say it’s very bad. City layouts(规划) simply aren’t built to manage that many moving parts. If we allow only buses, taxis and bikes to use the road, traffic problems in large cities will be immediately solved.
If you ever go to a large city centre, you often realize the difficulty some people have with sidewalk-to-sidewalk travel. If you live in New York City, there are so many people crossing in such a small area, that it’s often difficult to know what exactly is even going on. But if cities begin to do away with cars, we’d see an increase in out-of-town travellers more willing to walk about city centres in safety.
The one thing that troubles any driver is being stuck in a traffic jam in the centre of town. You move forward at a very low speed, feeling annoyed, mad, and helpless. But why go through this hassle? If we do away with cars throughout major cities, it will give drivers the chance to actually enjoy their journeys on (more) open roads. It’s a strange thought, yes, but many drivers will tell you driving in city centres is like driving in hell(地狱)．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，城市中心禁止小汽车通行有助于解决交通问题。
27．What is the author’s attitude to the government plans in Paragraph 1?
A．Doubtful. B．Uninterested.
C．Unfavourable. D．Supportive.
D 解析：推理判断题。由第一段中的But when you consider...sound and realistic.可推断，作者支持这些政府计划。
28．What can we infer form Paragraph 2?
A．Many large cities are widening their roads.
B．Cars are the main cause of traffic problems.
C．There is something wrong with city layouts.
D．The author is an experienced driver in a big city.
B 解析：推理判断题。由第二段中的If we allow only buses, taxis and bikes to use the road, traffic problems in large cities will be immediately solved.可推断，小汽车是造成交通拥挤的主要原因。
29．What does the author say about New York City?
A．It is heavily polluted.
B．Its streets are too busy.
C．It has fewer cars than before.
D．Its tourist numbers are increasing.
B 解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的If you live in New York City...is even going on.可知，作者指出纽约市的街道非常拥挤。
30．What does the underlined word “hassle” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．A sudden change.
B．A serious accident.
C．An annoying situation.
D．A dangerous experience.
C 解析：词义猜测题。hassle指代最后一段前两句所描述的情况，即司机开车被堵在市镇中心，以龟速前行，抓狂、急躁又无助。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使你在上学日的早晨有条不紊地准备东西出门的几条建议。
31．G 解析：此空设于段中，与第一句是并列关系。根据后面的Don’t worry.可推测，此句应和第一句并列，都是描述在上学日的早上可能会出现的一些不好的状况。
32．A 解析：此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。本段后面的内容都是围绕此句展开的，指出要提前把东西准备好。
33．C 解析：此空设于段中，对上一句进行解释。上句指出要提前至少三十分钟起床，此句解释原因，因为只有这样，你才能有充足的时间准备一切。
34．F 解析：此空设于段尾，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。此句中的It指代的是上文提到的take a quick shower。
35．E 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。本段前一句指出要确保你喜欢你的早餐，后一句讲如果你没有充足的时间准备早餐，把面包、鸡蛋等作为早餐也是一个不错的选择可推测，此处讲要记住有早餐总比没有好。

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。
I’ve been living in the Basque Country in Southwest France for three 56.___________(month) now, and I really love it!
The Basque Country is an area 57.____________ covers parts of Southwest France and Northwest Spain. This area has many wonderful traditions involving(涉及) food, music, festivals and more. While all those things are great, it’s the Basque language that I find the most 58.____________(interest) of all. I came to France 59.____________(learn) French, but I can’t help 60.____________(be) attracted by this strange-looking language, which doesn’t seem to have anything in common with French, English, or any other language! It 61.____________(certain) doesn’t sound like any language I’ve ever heard before!
Languages like Basque are called minority(少数民族)languages because they 62.____________(speak) by a smaller number of people than the other language or languages in a country. Basque is a minority language in France because most people speak French instead, and 63.____________number of Basque speakers is decreasing, especially among young people.
Minority languages like Basque bring local communities together and give people an identity that is a bit different from the rest of the country. 64.____________ would be a pity if these languages disappeared, so people should try hard to protect 65.____________(they)．
56．months 解析：考查名词复数。设空处表示“月”，month是可数名词，由设空处前的three可知，此处应填months。
57．that/which 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area，且在从句中作主语，故填that/which。
58．interesting 解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。it’s...that...为强调句，可还原为I find the Basque language the most ____________(interest) of all.。由此可知，设空处应填形容词interesting，表示“有趣的”。
59．to learn 解析：考查不定式作状语的用法。设空处所在句意为“我来法国学法语”，故填to learn。 to learn French在此作目的状语。
60．being 解析：考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处所在句意为“我却不由地被这种形式奇特的语言所吸引”，故填being。 can’t help doing sth.意为“忍不住做某事”。
61．certainly 解析：考查副词。设空处作状语，表示“毫无疑问”，故填副词certainly。
62．are spoken 解析：考查一般现在时的被动语态。they(指代minority languages)与speak之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，因为此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，故填are spoken。
63．the 解析：考查定冠词。设空处所在句意为“讲巴斯克语的人数在减少”，故填the。the number of...意为“……的数量”。
64．It 解析：考查it的用法。It would be a pity if...为固定句型，表示“如果……就太可惜了”。
65．them 解析：考查代词。设空处作宾语，指代these languages，表示“它们”，故填them。

He met her at a party.She was so young and beautiful; many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him.After the party, he invited her for coffee.She was surprised, but so as not to appear rude, she went along.
As they sat in a nice cafe,__he was too nervous to say anything and she felt embarrassed.Suddenly, he asked the waiter，“Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．”
They stared at him.He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank.Curious, she asked，“Why coffee with salt？”He hesitated for a while before replying in a word-after-word way，“When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea.I liked playing on the sea.I could feel it salty,__like salty coffee.Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown.I miss it and my parents, who are still there.”
She was deeply moved.A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family.He must be responsible.She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.That was the start to their love story.
They continued to date.She found that he met all her requirements.He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful.Deep down, she felt lucky for accepting his first invitation out of politeness, otherwise she would have missed such a remarkable man.They later dated with each other in almost all the cafes in the city, where she would always take the lead to tell the waiter to get him some salt.
As all the fairy tales go, the princess and prince get married and lead a happy__life ever since.And the story would have ended with the husband passing away after 40 years of happy life, nothing special if it were not for the letter the husband left for her before his death.

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
“My dearest, please forgive me for my cheating you all the time.Do you still remember our first date in the cafe？I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar.It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I had no choice but to make up the story I told you, which made me drink coffee with salt for the rest of my life.Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I love you so much and I was afraid that it would ruin everything.Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee.But as it matters so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it.Should life continue,__I would have a cup of salty coffee every day.”
Paragraph 2：
She was shocked by the letter, with the feeling of being cheated.How could he cheat her for all these 40 years? However, it was just these 40 years that witnessed their happy__life．Actually, she didn't mind being cheated at all.Without his white lie, how could she have had so many sweet moments? Tears of pining for her husband made the letter totally wet.From that day on, having a salty coffee became her everyday routine.
