A
When
Johnny
Cash
sings，people
listen.His
big，deep
voice
rumbles
out
of
radios
and
juke?boxes
across
North
America.His
records
sell
by
the
million.Country
music
fans
everywhere
know
his
big
hits.They
love
songs
like
Hey
Porter，Ring
of
Fire，and
Folsom
Prison
Blue.
Johnny
Cash
sings
about
a
hundred
concerts
a
year.People
like
what
they
hear—and
what
they
see，too.Rugged
and
big?shouldered，the
singer
stands
six?two
without
his
black
boots
on.He's
a
two?hundred?pound
package
of
muscle
and
talent.And
that
scar
(疤痕)
on
his
cheek?
It's
a
bullet
(子弹)
hole，of
course!
In
the
minds
of
most
people，Johnny
Cash
is
“Mr.Tough
(violent)
Guy”．He's
an
ex?drug
addict
(上瘾者)
who
was
once
put
into
prison.His
grandmother
was
an
Indian.To
keep
from
starving，he
once
had
to
live
on
wild
rabbits
killed
from
forty
feet
away
with
a
knife.Some
people
say
he
even
killed
a
man.
In
fact，most
of
the
Johnny
Cash
story
is
just
that—a
story.True，years
ago
he
had
a
“drug
habit”
for
a
short
time.He
“popped”
pills.But
he
never
used
heroin
or
other
“hard”
drugs.Sometimes
he'd
go
wild
and
get
locked
up
for
a
few
hours.But
he
never
served
a
prison
sentence.There's
no
Indian
blood
in
his
veins.He's
been
a
killer
only
in
song.As
for
the
“bullet
hole”，it's
an
old
scar
left
by
a
doctor
who
opened
a
cyst
(囊肿)．
People
who
know
Johnny
Cash
well
say
he's
a
“gentle
guy”，a
“generous
guy”—anything
but
a
“tough
guy”．How
did
the
stories
get
started?
Some
of
them，like
the
story
about
the
“Indian
grandmother”，he
made
up
long
ago
to
add
excitement
to
his
career.Others，like
the
“bullet
hole”，simply
got
started.Now
there's
little
the
singer
can
do
to
change
people's
minds.“They
just
want
to
believe
it，”
he
says.

Ask
many
actors
and
they
will
tell
you
it
is
hard
to
get
work
when
you
are
just
starting
out
and
as
you
get
older.However，it
has
not
been
the
case
for
American
musical(音乐剧)
actress
Susan
Watson.
In
1958，at
the
age
of
20，Watson
was
offered
a
part
in
the
musical，West
Side
Story,
in
London.At
that
time，she
was
still
a
student
at
New
York
City's
Juilliard
School
for
musicians，dancers
and
actors.More
than
50
years
later，she
was
offered
another
part.Watson
took
an
important
role
in
a
remake
of
the
musical，Follies，at
the
Kennedy
Center
in
Washington
and
the
Marquis
Theatre
in
New
York
City.In
both
cases，the
offers
came
from
musical
theater
legend
Stephen
Sondheim.He
wrote
the
lyrics
for
West
Side
Story
and
the
music
and
lyrics
for
Follies.
As
a
teenager，Watson
developed
her
dancing，singing
and
acting
skills
in
her
hometown
of
Tulsa，Oklahoma.She
traveled
to
study
at
New
York
City's
Juilliard
School
before
Sondheim
interrupted
her
studies
with
the
offer
of
a
part
in
West
Side
Story.The
award?winning
musical，based
on
William
Shakespeare's
Romeo
and
Juliet，tells
a
story
of
the
struggles
of
immigrants(移民)
in
New
York
City.In
the
following
two
decades，Watson
had
starring
roles
in
such
well?known
musicals
as
The
Fantasticks，Bye
Bye
Birdie，Carnival，Celebration
and
No，No，Nanette.
Musicals
are
an
American
invention.They
tell
stories
through
many
art
forms:
spoken
words，songs，acting
and
dances.“Music
adds
an
important
emotional
element，making
an
interesting
story
even
more
powerful，”
Watson
said.
At
age
78，Watson
now
lives
in
California，but
she
has
not
stopped
performing.
She
just
released
a
new
album
called
The
Music
Never
Ends.She
is
excited
that
six
of
the
14
songs
on
her
new
album
were
written
by
“empowered(获得授权的)
women”，including
Nancy
Ford
and
Gretchen
Cryer.She
says
her
new
musical
record
is
selling
“very
well”
partly
because
people
do
not
have
to
go
to
a
store
to
buy
it.They
can
buy
it
online，like
almost
any
other
product.
【语篇解读】 Susan
Watson是美国一位音乐剧女演员，她是一位幸运儿，20岁时就得到了一个非常重要的机会。

they
will
tell
you
it
is
hard
to
get
work

in
New

lived
there
as
a

a

Louis's
family

very
poor.He
went

his

also
went

teachers
asked
him
to
be
in
the
school
band.“This
horn
is
yours
until

his

him.They
knew
he
had
a
wonderful

played
on
the
boats
that
sailed
up
and
down
the
river.He
played
in
little
towns
and
in
big
cities.Louis's
horn
had
as
many
sounds
as
ten
horns—sometimes

exciting.“He
does
make
wonderful
music，”
said
the
man
who
listened
happily.“Yes，”
said
another
man，“he
makes
that
horn
speak.”
Then
the
music
ended

Armstrong
spoke
with
tears
in
his
eyes，“I

can
listen

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Listening
to
music
can
help
me
focus
better.Since
I
discovered
it
two
years
ago，I've
used
music
to
get
through
boring
work
or
to
focus
creatively.I've
found
that
it
can
make
even
the
dullest
jobs
enjoyable
and
help
clear
mental
blocks
to
creativity.
I
first
noticed
the
good
effects
of
music
while
playing
video
games.It
was
a
few
days
before
Christmas
in
2008
and
I
was
playing
online
video
games.My
parents
had
just
given
me
a
new
MP3，so
I
decided
to
listen
to
music
through
the
headphones
while
I
played.After
a
few
minutes
I
noticed
a
great
change
in
my
style
of
play.I
was
playing
more
naturally.The
music
relaxed
me，and，to
a
certain
extent，distracted
me
from
the
game，allowing
my
subconscious
(潜意识的)
talent
to
come
through.The
music
also
helped
me
block
out
the
outside
world.With
those
headphones
on
I
was
like
a
machine，moving
from
one
task
to
the
next
without
unnecessary
thoughts
or
actions.
Music
can
also
have
a
great
effect
on
mood.If
I'm
in
a
bad
mood
at
work，I'll
listen
to
some
of
Bob
Marley's
and
get
down
to
business.It
always
takes
my
mind
off
what
I'm
doing
and
makes
me
a
happier
person.The
same
is
true
for
classic
rock.One
summer，I
did
a
boring
job
collecting
bottle
openers
by
hand.Without
a
radio
playing
classic
rock
in
the
background，I
would
have
hated
life.
Listening
to
music
with
relaxing
rhythms
and
a
positive
message
helps
you
forget
your
work
and
think
happy
thoughts.But
the
results
you
see
will
depend
heavily
on
your
personal
tastes.Experiment
with
the
types
of
music
you
listen
to
during
certain
tasks.By
trial
and
error
you'll
finally
discover
your
best
choice.I'm
always
looking
for
new
concentration
aids，so
I'd
love
to
know
what
type
of
music
works
best
for
me.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
As
a
parent，you
must
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
various
skills
you
would
like
your
child
to
acquire.Music
is
one
of
them.__1__On
the
other
hand，it
is
great
for
a
child's
overall
development
if
he
or
she
has
an
interest
in
art.
__2__The
concentration
helps
them
with
their
grades.Their
learning
and
communication
skills
will
be
better
than
others
of
their
own
age.They
also
develop
lots
of
confidence
and
self?esteem.
Another
advantage
of
your
child
to
learn
music
becomes
apparent
only
at
a
later
stage.__3__It
can
be
very
beneficial
and
many
top
musicians
have
a
very
early
exposure
to
music
and
connect
this
with
their
later
success.
You
can
start
when
your
child
is
only
a
baby，by
exposing
him
or
her
to
a
wide
range
of
music
at
home.__4__And
you
could
sustain
your
child's
interest
by
having
both
of
you
singing
together.
Some
parents
start
their
children
on
a
musical
instrument
as
early
as
3
years
of
age.This
is
great
if
the
child
is
having
a
good
time，especially
when
a
child's
brain
has
a
wonderful
capacity
for
mastering
new
skills.It
goes
without
saying
that
you
should
not
have
to
drag
your
child
to
lessons.You
can
be
assured
that
nothing
productive
will
come
out
of
it.__5__
If
you
start
your
child
on
music
lessons
by
the
age
of
5，taking
care
to
encourage
him
or
her
and
not
to
push
him
or
her，your
child
will
grow
up
into
an
accomplished
adult
with
a
well?rounded
personality.
A．It
can
have
good
effects
on
your
child.
B．This
is
selecting
music
as
a
career.
C．And
your
child
will
have
a
lifelong
dislike
of
music.
D．Otherwise，you'll
completely
spoil
your
child's
future.
E．You
could
ensure
that
there
is
a
song
or
tune
played
in
the
background.
F．The
advantages
of
teaching
children
to
play
a
musical
instrument
are
many.
G．On
the
one
hand，you
can
encourage
your
child's
creativity
and
natural
hobby.
【语篇解读】 音乐可以培养人的情操。让孩子从小接触音乐益处颇多，甚至会让其受益终生。
1．G [由空后的“On
the
other
hand”提示可知本空应该是讲“一方面”，所以选G项。]
2．F [第二段主要讲某事的好处，所以选项F能概括本段主旨。]
3．B [由下文中的“many
top
musicians
have
a
very
early
exposure
to
music
and
connect
this
with
their
later
success”可知此处应该是讲兴趣培养与职业选择的关系。]
4．E [由下文中的“having
both
of
you
singing
together”可以推断“在有音乐背景的环境下”，所以此处选E。]
5．C [由前文“should
not
have
to”及“nothing
productive
will
come
out
of
it”可知本空应该是讲相对消极的作用，C项符合语境。]

【语篇解读】 一位老先生对现代教育十分不满，认为当代年轻人没有接受懂得区别对与错的重要性的教育。当他想教育一下年轻人时，结局令他意想不到。
1．importance [空格中所填单词在句中作taught的宾语，需用important的名词形式。]
2．between [the
difference
between...and...是习惯搭配，意思是“……和……之间的不同”。这里指对与错之间的不同。]
3．standing [see
sb.doing
sth.看见某人正在做某事。]
4．what [what
was
happening是宾语从句，what在句中作主语。]
5．are
having [根据上下文可知，他们正在比赛，故此处用现在进行时。]
6．lies [tell
a
lie/lies
是固定搭配，表示“撒谎”。]
7．who/that [关系代词who/that指代先行词the
one，引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语。]
8．useful [空格中所填单词在句中作定语，修饰名词lesson，用use的形容词形式。]
9．to
be [it在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to
be
honest。]
10．yours [yours是名词性物主代词，在句中作表语，相当于“形容词性物主代词＋名词”。该句中yours相当于your
cat。]Unit

Louis
Armstrong
had
two
famous
nicknames.Some
people
called
him
Satchmo.They
said
his
mouth
looked
like
a
large
bag.Musicians
often
called
him
Pops，as
a
sign
of
respect
for
his
influence
on
the
world
of
music.
Born
in
1901
in
New
Orleans，he
grew
up
poor，but
lived
among
great
musicians.
Jazz
was
invented
in
the
city
a
few
years
before
his
birth.Armstrong
often
said，“Jazz
and
I
grew
up
together.”
Armstrong
showed
a
great
talent
for
music
when
he
was
taught
to
play
the
cornet
(短号)
at
a
boy's
home.In
his
late
teens，Armstrong
began
to
live
the
life
of
a
musician.He
played
in
parades，clubs，and
on
the
steamboats
that
traveled
on
the
Mississippi
River.At
that
time，New
Orleans
was
famous
for
the
new
music
of
jazz
and
was
home
to
many
great
musicians.Armstrong
learned
from
the
older
musicians
and
soon
became
respected
as
their
equal.
In
1922
he
went
to
Chicago.There，the
tale
of
Louis
Armstrong
begins.From
then
until
the
end
of
his
life，Armstrong
was
celebrated
and
loved
wherever
he
went.Armstrong
had
no
equal
when
it
came
to
playing
the
American
popular
song.
His
cornet
playing
had
a
deep
humanity
(仁爱)
and
warmth
that
caused
many
listeners
to
say，“Listening
to
Pops
just
makes
you
feel
good
all
over.”
He
was
the
father
of
the
jazz
style
and
also
one
of
the
best?known
and
most?admired
people
in
the
world.His
death，on
July
6,1971，was
headline
news
around
the
world.

I
live
in
Hollywood.You
may
think
people
in
such
an
attractive，fun?filled
place
are
happier
than
others.If
so，you
have
some
mistaken
ideas
about
the
nature
of
happiness.
Many
intelligent
people
still
equate
happiness
with
fun.The
truth
is
that
fun
and
happiness
have
little
or
nothing
in
common.Fun
is
what
we
experience
during
an
act.Happiness
is
what
we
experience
after
an
act.It
is
a
deeper，more
long?lasting
emotion.Going
to
an
amusement
park
or
ball
game，watching
a
movie
or
television，are
fun
activities
that
help
us
relax，temporarily
forget
our
problems
and
maybe
even
laugh.But
they
do
not
bring
happiness，because
their
positive
effects
end
when
the
fun
ends.
I
have
often
thought
that
if
Hollywood
stars
have
a
role
to
play，it
is
to
teach
us
that
happiness
has
nothing
to
do
with
fun.These
rich，beautiful
individuals
have
constant
access
to
exciting
parties，fancy
cars，expensive
homes，everything
that
spells
“happiness”．But
in
memoir(回忆录)
after
memoir，celebrities
reveal
the
unhappiness
hidden
beneath
all
their
fun:
depression，alcoholism，drag
addiction，broken
marriages，troubled
children，and
long?time
loneliness.
The
way
people
hold
on
to
the
belief
that
a
fun?filled，pain?free
life
equates
happiness
actually
decreases
their
chances
of
ever
attaining
real
happiness.If
fun
and
pleasure
are
equated
with
happiness，then
pain
must
be
equated
with
unhappiness.But，in
fact，the
opposite
is
true:
More
times
than
not，things
that
lead
to
happiness
involve
some
pain.
As
a
result，many
people
avoid
the
very
efforts
that
are
the
source
of
true
happiness.They
fear
the
pain
inevitably
brought
by
such
things
as
marriage，raising
children，professional
achievement，religious
commitment，charitable
work
and
self?improvement.

“I
Sing
Beijing”
is
an
art
exchange
program
which
aims
to
train
Western
opera
students
to
sing
Chinese
opera.It
also
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
work
with
top
Chinese
opera
singers
in
Beijing
each
summer.The
program
was
started
in
2010
by
soloist(独唱者)，Tian
Haojiang，who
performed
with
the
Metropolitan
Opera(大都会歌剧院)
for
two
decades.“I
Sing
Beijing”
is
now
going
to
US
schools
to
let
students
understand
the
art
of
Chinese
opera.
“I
think
it's
so
important
that
people，especially
Western
people，know
that
this
form
of
Chinese
opera
is
possible
and
an
option
to
follow.And
it's
not
even
just
an
option，but
one
where
I
think
classical
music
is
going，”
said
the
singer，Meghan
Picemo，who
took
part
in
the
exchange
program
last
summer.She
said
that
after
spending
six
hours
a
day
studying
Chinese
for
four
weeks，then
performing
on
Beijing's
performance
stage，her
life
had
changed
forever.During
her
time
with
“I
Sing
Beijing”，Picemo
discovered
“a
completely
new
world
of
classical
music”
where
there
were
“endless
opportunities”
she
could
not
have
imagined
before.The
experience
of
daily
life
in
China
was
also
valuable，she
said.
“I
Sing
Beijing”
will
perform
at
Lincoln
Center's
Alice
Tully
Hall.“This
is
truly
a
historic
event，”
Tian
said.The
performance
will
be
the
first
in
New
York
for
Western
singers
trained
in
modern
Chinese.At
the
same
time，auditions(试唱)
for
I
Sing
Beijing's
third
summer
in
Beijing
will
begin
in
three
US
cities，and
the
talent
search
will
continue
in
Europe
and
China.The
program
will
admit
20
Western
singers
and
10
mainland
Chinese
singers
for
this

you
become
an
effective
class
participant.
●__17__Do
all
tasks
and
readings
and
go
over
your

will
help
to
prevent

you
get
ready
for

important
questions
and

can
hear
what
the

clearly.
●Don't
be
afraid
to
be
wrong.__19__You
can
learn
from
being
wrong.Don't
be
afraid
to
ask
questions.This
is
a
good
learning
skill.Also，the
chances
are
that
other
students
in
the
class
have
the
same
questions
as
you
do，and
they
will
appreciate
your
asking.
Don't
waste
the
time
of
the
teacher
and
other
students
by
going
off
way.Don't
take
it
in
person
if
others
disagree
with
what
you
say.__20__

a
personal
connection
helps
you
feel
more
comfortable
about
participating
in
class.

confident
that
your
opinions
will
be
valued
by
your
teacher
and
other
students.
C．It's
hard
to
stay
unconcerned
when
you
are
near
to
the
teacher.
D．Be
sure
that
you
are
well
prepared
before
coming
to
class.
E．This
may
be
because
they
are
shy
or
fearful
of
being
judged
and
criticized
(批评)．

should
be

place
for
giving

a
change
in
behavior
based
on
experience.

sit
close
to
the
front
of
the
class.以及后一句Besides，you

with
a
big
suitcase.He
was
called
William

he
looked

indeed.But
what
made
him
most
unusual
was
the
fact
that
whenever
he
needed

did
it
by
singing
opera.It
didn't
matter
to
William
whether
it
was
simply
a
matter
of
answering
a
brief
greeting，like
“good
day”．He
would__23__，“Goood
dayyy
to
youuuuuu...toooooo!
”
No
one
could
get
a

knew
how
he
made
his
living—and
he
lived
quite
simply，always
wearing
his
same
old
second?hand
suit—they
often
disrespected
him.

important

capital，and
there
were
posters

event.Everyone
in
the
capital
went

it
was
a

to

in

answered
their
questions
by
speaking__30__singing.And
he
did
it
with
good__31__，and
with
a
clear
and
pleasant
voice.
From
that
day，William
gave
up
singing
at
all
hours.Now
he
did
it
only
during
his
stage
appearances
and
world
tours.Some
people
suspected__32__he
had
changed，but
others
still
had
no
idea，and
continued
believing
him
to
be
somewhat
mad.They
wouldn't
have
thought
so__33__they
had
seen
what
William
kept
in
his
big
suitcase.
“Practice
every
second，for
you
never
know
when
your__34__will
come.”
Little
did
people
realize
that
rather__35__he
got
the
role
in
the
opera
because
the
director
had
heard
William
singing
while
out
buying
a
newspaper.

Dear
John，
I
am
writing
to
apologize
for
not
being
able
to
go
to
the
botanical
garden
with
you
this
weekend.
You
know，I
have
been
expecting
to
go
with
you
because
I
think
it
is
a
good
chance
to
get
close
to
nature
and
relax
ourselves
as
well.It
is
also
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
know
more
about
each
other
and
strengthen
our
friendship.However，my
ankle
got
seriously
sprained，while
I
was
having
PE
class.The
doctor
told
me
to
have
a
good
rest
and
not
to
move
at
the
moment.That
is
why
I
have
to
cancel
my
plan.
Sorry
for
not
being

you
all
have

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
How
many
of
us
could
go
a
week
without
our
cell
phones?
Do
you
even
bother
to
memorize
phone
numbers
anymore?
Technology
has
made
life
so
convenient
for
us
that
it's
almost
scary
to
think
of
what
would
happen
if
we
had
to
go
without
our
favorite
gadget(小装置)
for
an
extended
period
of
time.We
have
to
face
facts:
Technology
has
made
us
lazy.
What's
the
point
of
getting
up，taking
a
shower，getting
dressed，and
driving
to
the
movies
when
you
can
just
sit
on
the
couch
and
fire
up
Netflix?
We've
all
been
there
before.You're
on
the
fence
about
whether
or
not
you
want
to
get
out
and
do
something，but
then
something
comes
over
you.You
start
looking
around
at
your
PS3
and
laptop，then
realize
you
can
have
just
as
much
fun
staying
in
the
house.
Is
it
even
possible
to
get
lost
anymore?
I
get
the
feeling
that
we're
getting
closer
and
closer
to
the
day
when
people
won't
even
be
able
to
read
paper
maps
anymore.There
are
already
a
good
deal
of
young
adults
that
have
no
idea
how
to
navigate
through
their
own
cities
without
using
a
GPS.Being
able
to
print
out
complete
turn
by
turn
directions
for
where
you
need
to
go
on
MapQuest
pretty
much
killed
the
need
for
a
map.
We
have
all
Googled
something
that
we
were
completely
embarrassed
we
didn't
know
the
answer.According
to
Google，“How
to
tie
a
tie”
gets
over
500,000
searches
a
month.Exactly，a
quick
search
on
Google
will
bring
up
instructional
YouTube
videos，blog
posts，and
PDF's
that
show
you
how
to
do
anything.So
much
for
being
self?sufficient.
Running
errands(差事)
use
to
take
up
entire
Saturday
mornings.By
the
time
you
got
home，you
were
drained(排空)
and
just
wanted
to
relax.Well
thanks
to
online
shopping
and
services
like
Peapod，running
your
own
errands
is
a
thing
of
the
past.
I'm
definitely
part
of
the
problem
here
because
I
love
online
shopping.But
I
can
admit
that
it
has
made
me
somewhat
lazy.

Modern
technology
has
made
us
dependent.In
the
first
place，there
is
no
need
for
us
to
leave
the
house
for
entertainment.(要点1)
Then，nowhere
can
we
go
without
the
aid
of
a
GPS.(要点2)
Moreover，Google
seems
to
be
home
to
anything
we'd
like
to
learn.(要点3)
Finally，shopping
on
the
net
saves
us
a
lot
of
trouble
of
getting
around
exhausted.(要点4)
