1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
At
9
feet
tall
and
weighing
about
250
pounds,
the
ostrich
(鸵鸟)
is
the
world’s
largest
bird.
As
the
myth
goes,
a
frightened
ostrich
will
bury
its
head
in
the
sand
___1___
(make)
itself
invisible
to
its
hunters.
If
that
sounds
like
a
“bird-brained”
way
to
escape
danger,
you’re
right!
Actually,
the
ostrich
plays
dead
in
this
way.
When
this
behavior
___2___
(see)
from
a
distance,
the
ostrich’s
head
might
not
be
visible,
___3___
(give)
the
false
impression
that
its
head
is
buried.
【答案】1.
to
make
2.
is
seen
3.
giving
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了鸵鸟高9英尺，重约250磅，是世界上最大的鸟类，以及受惊的鸵鸟会把头埋进沙子里装死的习性。
【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：传说中，受惊的鸵鸟会把头埋进沙子里，这样猎人就看不见它了。分析句子结构可知make在句中为非谓语形式做状语，且此处表目的应用不定式。故填to
make。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：当这种行为从远处看，鸵鸟的头可能是看不见的，给人一种它的头是埋着的错误印象。句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为behavior，谓语动词用单数。故填is
seen。
【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当这种行为从远处看，鸵鸟的头可能是看不见的，给人一种它的头是埋着的错误印象。分析句子结构可知give在句中为非谓语形式做状语，且表示自然而然的结果用现在分词。故填giving。
B
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写
1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
I
picked
up
the
phone,
slowly
dialing
the
number
to
her
house.
All
I
could
think
was
___4___
we
could
possibly
have
a
conversation
about.
Nothing!
I
didn’t
think
I
could
have
anything
in
common
with
the
person
___5___
is
50
years
older
than
me.
“Your
grandmother
won’t
be
around
forever,”
my
mom
said,
so
I
just
did
what
she
told
me
and
called
my
grandmother.
What
I
didn’t
know
was
that
the
phone
call
___6___
(change)
my
attitude
to
life.
【答案】4.
what
5.
who/
that
6.
would
change/
was
going
to
change
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者给祖母打电话时的心理活动。
【4题详解】
考查连接词。句意：我满脑子想的都是我们能聊些什么。此处为表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“什么”应用what引导。故填what。
【5题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我认为我和那个比我大50岁的人没有任何共同之处。此处为定语从句修饰先行词person，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故用关系代词who或that。故填who/
that。
【6题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：我所不知道的是这个电话将会改变我对生活的态度。此处可理解为表示从过去的某一时间来看将来要发生的动作或呈现的状态用过去将来时，故可填would
change；也可理解为过去进行时表将来时，用be
going
to结构，主语为the
phone
call，谓语动词用单数。故填would
change/
was
going
to
change。
【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择，可考虑以下几点：
1、看清楚先行词的意义，就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等等。
2、看清楚关系词的句法功能，就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose，有时也用which。作状语要用when,
where,
why。
3、看清楚定语从句的种类，就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
4、看清楚文体，就是理清是正式文体，还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。
如第二小题，句意：我认为我和那个比我大50岁的人没有任何共同之处。此处为定语从句修饰先行词person，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故用关系代词who或that。故填who/
that。
C

quickly,
potentially
leading
to
improved
quality
of
life.
【答案】7.
But/
Yet
8.
mean
9.
on
10.
quieter
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了如今因为电池技术的进步和政府补贴的作用，电动汽车正变得常见，这种变化将对生活产生巨大的影响。道路将变得更加安静，污染水平将迅速降低，这可能会提高生活质量。
【7题详解】
考查连词。句意：但是/然而有限的范围和高昂的价格使电动车成为道路上罕见的景象。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系，故用连词but，或用连接副词yet。句首字母要大写。故填But/
Yet。
【8题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：电池技术的进步意味着现在电动汽车一次充电行驶的距离要远得多。此处描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为advances，谓语动词用原形。故填mean。
【9题详解】
考查介词。句意：这种变化将对生活产生巨大的影响。根据短语have
a
huge
impact
on表示“对……有巨大影响”。故填on。
【10题详解】
考查比较级。句意：道路将变得更加安静，污染水平将迅速降低，这可能会提高生活质量。结合句意表示“更加安静”应用形容词比较级形式quieter。故填quieter。
二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)
Dash
of
Hope
"Dash"
is
a
symbol
which
represents
everyday
we've
spent
alive
on
earth.
Therefore,
how
you
spend
your
"dash"
is
important.
Recently
I____11____
about
a
little
girl
named
Hope.
After
learning
more
about
her
life，I
couldn't
help
but
feel
it
was
not
by
coincidence，nor
happenstance，that
she
had
been
named
"Hope".
The
strong
feeling
of
sympathy
and
generosity
housed
in
her
young
heart
made
a
lasting
impression
on
me
and
countless
others.
____12____
I
never
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
her，I
wish
I
had.
It
seems
as
though
she
was
wise
beyond
her
tender
years
and
very，very
special.
Hope
was
a
twelve-year-old
girl
who
was
offered
a
"wish"
in
early
December
2010
by
the
"Make-A-Wish"
Foundation
after
being
____13____that
she
had
a
rare
type
of
bone
cancer.
However，when
she
found
out
that
more
than
150
children
in
her
area
were
waiting
for
their
wishes
to
be
granted(实现)，she
unselfishly
used
her
wish
to
____14____that
those
children
have
their
wishes
granted.
She
also
asked
it
to
be
done
by
January
16，2011.
Unfortunately，
however，the
organization
informed
her
that
her
____15____request
could
not
be
granted
as
the
funds(资金)
were
simply____16____.
They
calculated
that
they
would
need
to
raise
more
than
one
million
dollars
in
thirty
days
in
order
to
grant
her
wish.
Disappointed，but
not
discouraged，she
turned
her
disappointment
into
an
enthusiasm
that
inspired
caring
____17____
to
take
up
helping
grant
the
wishes
of
the
other
children,
and
eventually
hers
as
well.
Newspaper
columnists
and
reporters
for
radio
and
TV
stations
shared
the
story
of
this
caring
young
girl
who
had____18____the
hearts
of
so
many
and

spread，the
community
was

Committees
were
fanned
and
schools，corporations
and
various
organizations
assisted
in____19____money
to
help
make
Hope's
dream
come
true.
Her
efforts
were
not
in
vain
as
they
continue
to
help
others，not
only
physically，but
spiritually
and
emotionally
as
well.

When
students
and
parents
are
asked
to
rate
subjects
according
to
their
importance,
the
arts
are
unavoidably
at
the
bottom
of
the
list.
Music
is
nice,
people
seem
to
say,
but
not
important.
Too
often
it
is
viewed
as
entertainment,
but
certainly
not
an
education
priority
(优先).
This
view
is
shortsighted.
In
fact,
music
education
is
beneficial
and
important
for
all
students.
Music
tells
us
who
we
are,
because
music
is
an
expression
of
the
beings
who
create
it,
it
reflects
their
thinking
and
values,
as
well
as
the
social
environment
it
came
from.
Rock
music
represents
a
lifestyle
just
as
surely
as
does
a
Schubert
song.
The
jazz
influence
that
George
Gershwin
and
other
musicians
introduced
into
their
music
is
obviously
American
because
it
came
from
American
musical
traditions.
Music
expresses
our
character
and
values.
It
gives
us
identity
as
a
society.
Music
provides
a
kind
of
perception
(感知)
that
cannot
be
acquired
any
other
way.
Science
can
explain
how
the
sunrises
and
sets.
The
arts
explore
the
emotive
(情感的)
meaning
of
the
same
phenomenon.
We
need
every
possible
way
to
discover
and
respond
to
our
world
for
one
simple
but
powerful
reason:No
one
way
can
get
it
all.
The
arts
are
forms
of
thought
as
powerful
in
what
they
communicate
as
mathematical
and
scientific
symbols.
They
are
ways
we
human
beings
“talk”
to
each
other.
They
are
the
language
of
civilization
through
which
we
express
our
fears,
our
curiosities,
our
hungers,
our
discoveries,
our
hopes.
The
arts
are
ways
we
give
form
to
our
ideas
and
imagination
so
that
they
can
be
shared
with
others.
When
we
do
not
give
children
access
to
an
important
way
of
expressing
themselves
such
as
music,
we
take
away
from
them
the
meanings
that
music
expresses.
Science
and
technology
do
not
tell
us
what
is
means
to
be
human.
The
arts
do.
Music
is
an
important
way
we
express
human
suffering,
celebration,
the
meaning
and
value
of
peace
and
love.
So
music
education
is
far
more
necessary
than
people
seem
to
realize.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了如今人们对音乐的不重视，同时作者从不同方面来论证自己的观点：音乐应该得到人们更多的关注。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段
“Music
is
nice,
people
seem
to
say,
but
not
important.
Too
often
it
is
viewed
as
entertainment,
but
certainly
not
an
education
priority
(优先)
.(音乐很好，人们似乎说，但不是也很重要。它通常被视为仅仅是娱乐，但肯定不是教育的优先事项)”可知，学生们一般把“音乐”列为“娱乐”，而且他们认为这是不重要的。故选A
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The
jazz
influence
that
George
Gershwin
and
other
musicians
introduced
into
their
music
is
obviously
American
because
it
came
from
American
musical
traditions.
Music
expresses
our
character
and
values.
It
gives
us
identity
as
a
society.(乔治·格什温和其他音乐家将爵士乐引入他们的音乐显然是美国音乐，因为它来自美国的音乐传统。音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观。它赋予我们作为一个社会的身份)”可知，作者以爵士乐为例说明了音乐代表一个社会。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Science
can
explain
how
the
sunrises
and
sets.
The
arts
explore
the
emotive
(情感的)
meaning
of
the
same
phenomenon.(科学可以解释日出和日落的方式。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义)”可知，艺术和科学从不同的角度看待世界。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When
students
and
parents
are
asked
to
rate
subjects
according
to
their
importance,
the
arts
are
unavoidably
at
the
bottom
of
the
list.(当学生和家长被要求根据学科的重要性对其进行评分时，艺术不可避免地排在最后面)”可知，该句引出话题，表明人们对音乐的不重视，然后作者从不同方面来论证自己的观点：音乐应该得到人们更多的关注。故选A。
C
For
many
businessmen
online
education
has
been
a
dream.
Now
it
has
come
true.
The
investment
(投资)
in
higher
education,
whether
financial
or
in
terms
of
time,
has
long
been
impossible
for
many
of
them.
But
well-known
educational
institutions
have
chosen
to
deliver
an
internet-based
program,
and
these
barriers
have
been
lifted.
That
is
good
news
for
people
eager
to
improve
themselves
and
is
more
attractive
to
employers.
It
is
also
a
benefit
to
industry
with
better
qualified
candidates
applying
for
jobs
at
every
level.
Having
the
benefits
of
a
higher
qualification
without
going
to
the
university
campus
is
attractive
to
many
students.
Campus
study
means
greater
cost,
while
online
programs
are
flexible
and
save
time,
whether
at
home
or
at
work.
Students
can
achieve
their
degrees
without
causing
too
much
disruption
to
their
career
or
home
life.
In
addition
to
affordable,
flexible
classes
and
greater
convenience,
students
also
have
access
to
the
online
learning
resources
of
many
of
the
world’s
top
educational
institutions.
They
can
also
communicate
with
their
tutors
no
matter
what
time
it
is
or
whether
either
party
is
away
for
any
reason.
This
has
opened
up
the
possibility
of
getting
a
qualification
from
a
university
or
college
that
many
students
could
only
have
dreamed
of
in
the
past.
It
also
allows
specialists
to
get
the
precise
qualifications
and
focus
on
their
studies.
As
well
as
seeing
the
increase
of
applicants
from
lower-incomes
and
housewives,
studying
online
in
the
US
is
even
becoming
popular
with
younger
people
of
college
age.
Employers
have
become
increasingly
welcome
and
positive
to
online
qualifications
as
more
candidates
earn
them,
especially
if
they’re
properly
approved
by
the
US
Department
of
Education.
US
institutions
have
led
the
way
in
online
education
provision.
Many
top
US
colleges
and
universities
offer
a
range
of
online
programs
that
are
highly
respected
and
in
every
way
perfectly
fit
for
adults
who
need
to
combine
their
studies
with
a
working
life.
28.

to
Paragraph
1,
many
US
colleges
and
universities
.
A.
have
begun
to
lift
the
barriers
to
financial
investment
B.
have
begun
to
run
an
internet-based
program
C.
have
had
a
dream
of
offering
online
education
D.
have
gained
financial
investment
29.
Why
do
people
choose
online
education?
A.

jobs
more
easily
than
on-campus
graduates.
B.
They
can
get

D
Sometimes
you
may
have
a
strong
desire
to
do
something
strange
or
terrible.
However,
chances
are
that
you
don’t
act
on
your
impulse
(冲动),
but
let
it
pass
instead.
You
know
that
to
take
the
action
is
wrong
in
some
way
and
that
other
people
will
not
accept
your
behavior.
Perhaps
the
most
interesting
thing
about
the
phenomenon
of
taboo
behavior
is
how
it
can
change
over
the
years,
how
certain
behavior
and
attitudes
once
considered
taboo
can
become
perfectly
acceptable
and
natural
at
another
point
in
time.
Topics
such
as
death,
for
example,
were
once
considered
so
upsetting
that
it
was
a
taboo
to
even
talk
about
them.
Now
with
the
publication
of
important
books
such
as
On
Death
and
Dying
and
Learning
to
Say
Goodbye,
people
have
become
more
aware
of
the
importance
of
expressing
feelings
about
death
and,
as
a
result,
are
more
willing
to
talk
about
this
taboo
subject.
One
of
the
newest
taboos
is
the
topic
of
fat.
Unlike
many
other
taboos,
fat
is
a
topic
that
people
talk
about
constantly.
It’s
not
taboo
to
talk
about
fat;
it’s
taboo
to
be
fat.
The
“in”
look
is
thin,
not
fat.
In
the
work
world,
most
companies
prefer
youthful-looking,
slim
manager
to
sell
their
image
as
well
as
their
products
to
the
public.
The
thin
look
is
associated
with
youth,
vigor,
and
success.
The
fat
person,
on
the
other
hand,
is
thought
of
as
lazy
and
lacking
in
energy,
self-discipline
and
self-respect.
After
all,
how
can
people
permit
themselves
to
become
fat?
In
an
image-conscious
society,
thin
is
‘‘in”,
fat
is
“out”.
It’s
not
surprising
that
millions
of
people
have
become
obsessed
(着迷)
with
staying
slim
and
“in
shape”.
The
pursuit
of
a
youthful
physical
appearance
is
not,
however,
the
only
reason
for
people’s
obsession
with
diet
and
exercise.
Recent
research
has
shown
the
importance
of
diet
and
exercise
for
personal
health.
As
in
most
technologically
developed
nations,
the
life-style
of
people
has
changed
since
last
century.
Modern
machines
do
all
the
physical
labor.
Cars
and
buses
transport
us
quickly
from
point
to
point.
As
a
result
of
inactivity
and
disuse,
people’s
bodies
can
easily
become
weak.
In
an
effort
to
avoid
such
a
fate
(命运),
millions
of
people
are
spending
more
of
their
time
exercising.
Parks
are
filled
with
joggers
and
bicyclists,
and
many
companies
are
providing
special
exercise
equipment
for
their
employees
to
use
during
the
work
day.
32.
What
does
the
word
“taboo’’
refer
to
in
the
passage?
A.
A
crime
committed
on
impulse.
B
An
unfavorable
impression
left
on
other
people.
C.
A
strong
desire
to
do
something
strange
or
terrible.
D.
Behavior
considered
unacceptable
to
the
society.
33.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“in”
look
probably
mean?
A.
The
fashionable
look.
B.
The
hidden
look.
C
The
usual
look.
D.
The
inside
look.
34.
According
to
the
passage,
the
common
belief
is
that______.
A.
fat
people
are
full
of
energy
B.
thin
people
are
more
successful
C.
fat
people
prefer
to
have
fat
bosses
D.
thin
people
are
less
image-conscious
35.

more
attention
to
diet
and
exercise

A.
their
need
to
kill
time
B.
their
love
for
sports
C.
their
concern
for
health
D.
their
belief
in
hard
work
【答案】32.
D
33.
A
34.
B
35.
C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了每个人都有冲动去做一些事，但是同时又能抑制住这种冲动，因为他知道这是禁忌。禁忌会随着时代而转变，现在这个社会的禁忌就是胖，人们通过各种方式让自己瘦下来。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“You
know
that
to
take
the
action
is
wrong
in
some
way
and
that
other
people
will
not
accept
your
behavior.（你知道在某种程度上采取行动是错误的，其他人不会接受你的行为。）”可知，所谓的禁忌就是不被他人接受的行为。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段的“In

and
success.（在工作中，大多数公司更喜欢看起来年轻、苗条的经理来向公众推销他们的形象和产品。瘦削的外表总是与年轻、活力和成功联系在一起。）”可知，漂亮的外表、苗条的身材是大多数公司所喜欢的，再根据“In
an
image-conscious
society,
thin
is
‘‘in”,
fat
is
“out”.（在一个注重形象的社会里，瘦是“时髦”，胖是“过时”。）”可知，“in”指“时髦的外表”。故选A。

第二节共5小题，每小题2分，共10分
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Neighbors
are
the
people
who
live
near
us.
They
directly
affect
the
social
environment
we
live
in.
Therefore
it
is
important
for
us
to
get
closely
know
our
neighbors
to
feel
comfort
about
our
lives.
____36____I
think
there
are
several
qualities
that
people
who
live
near
to
us
should
contain；
respectful，
helpful
and
dependable.
To
begin
with
respectful，
neighbors
should
always
be
respectful
and
maintain
the
loyalty
between
each
other
and
having
a
good
reputation
among
society.____37____For
example，
our
neighbors
should
not
be
noisy
because
in
my
family
there
are
many
students
and
they
need
a
quiet
atmosphere
in
order
to
studying
and
concentrate
on
their
fields.
Moreover
they
have
to
avoid
of
interfering
and
spying
on
each
other
and
respect
privacy
in
their
lives.
____38____For
instance，
one
day
I
remember
a
fire
was
happened
in
our
kitchen.
Which
that
was
almost
could
cause
a
great
dangerous
but
our
next
door
called
the
firemen，
and
also
until
they
arrived
to
the
house
they
helped
us
on
controlling
the
fire，
which
fortunately
with
their
help
nothing
tragedy
happened
to
our
house.
Another
aspect
of
preferable
neighbors
is
to
be
reliable
and
trustworthy.
____39____And
also
you
may
not
be
worried
about
any
bad
events
that
may
happen
to
you
such
as
if
a
burglar
wants
to
attempt
your
house
when
he
found
out
that
you
are
not
at
home，
the
vigilant
neighbors
immediately
call
the
police
and
guide
your
house
not
to
be
stolen.
In
conclusion，
the
these
above
are
vital
characteristics
of
good
neighbors.
Neighbors
will
not
cause
inconvenience
to
others，
be
tolerant，
cooperatives
and
dependable
in
the
local
community
life.____40____

I
was
told
by
my
relatives,
close
friends
and
others
that
it
was
hard
for
a
non-IT
student
to
pursue
a
master's
degree
in
IT
and
graduate
from
a
US
university.
I
had
never
taken
courses
related
lo
computers
or
programming.
1
was
never
interested
in
being
a
programmer,
but
things
changed.
I
became
so
fascinated
with
the
convenience
IT
has
brought
to
our
life
that
I
made
up
my
mind
lo
chase
a
master's
degree
in
IT.
At
first,
I
came
across
too
many
difficulties
and
setbacks.
Coming
from
a
middle-class
family,
the
huge
cost
per
credit
was
a
big
issue.
My
English
accent
was
terrible.
Most
importantly,
the
course
seemed
impossible
at
first.
Although
I
felt
so
discouraged
and
frustrated,
In
ever
thought
of
giving
up.
Then
I
decided
to
choose
my
university
because
it
promised
its
students
to
help
them
learn
practically.
During
my
first
month,
it
was
difficult
to
understand
the
Americans'
accent
and
finish
my
assignments.
But
I
never
gave
in.
I
walked
two
miles
to
the
university
everyday
so
that
I
could
use
my
travel
money
to
buy
a
meal.
I
started
looking
for
jobs
and
I
got
an
offer
to
work
as
a
student
assistant,
which
meant
lifting
benches
and
chairs
everyday.
I
took
all
these
challenges
as
my
chances,
and
I
believed
that
hard
work
was
my
strength.
Right
now
I
am
graduating
with
a
GPA
of
3.96/4andajob
offer
from
a
multinational
company
that
has
asked
me
to
start
right
after
graduation.

【答案】Dear
Jim,
I’m
very
glad
to
know
that
you
are
interested
in
the
changes
in
Beijing.
Let
me
tell
you
some
of
the
developments
during
the
past
few
years.
I
have
witnessed
many
great
changes
in
my
city.
The
most
impressive
one
is
the
rapid
development
of
transportation.
In
the
past,
people
travelled
mainly
by
bus.
Nowadays,
with
more
and
more
subway
lines
built,
it
is
much
faster
and
more
convenient
for
people
to
go
almost
everywhere.
Additionally,
the
spread
of
public
bikes
helps
people
travel
any
distance
more
easily.
All
these
couldn’t
have
happened
without
the
measures
taken
by
the
government
and
applications
of
new
technology.
I
enjoy
these
conveniences
every
day
and
feel
proud
of
my
city.
I
am
confident
that
Beijing
will
become
more
liveable
in
the
future.
Just
come
and
have
a
look
yourself!
Yours,
Li
Hua

alive
on
earth.
Therefore,

your

is
important.
Recently
I____11____
about
a
little
girl
named
Hope.
After
learning
more
about
her
life，I
couldn't
help
but
feel
it
was
not
by
coincidence，nor
happenstance，that
she
had
been
named
"Hope".
The
strong
feeling

sympathy
and
generosity
housed

young
heart
made
a
lasting
impression
on
me
and
countless
others.
____12____
I
never
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
her，I
wish
I
had.
It
seems
as
though
she
was
wise
beyond
her
tender
years
and
very，very
special.
Hope
was
a
twelve-year-old
girl
who
was
offered

early
December
2010
by
the
"Make-A-Wish"

____14____that
those
children
have
their
wishes
granted.
She
also
asked

Unfortunately，
however，the
organization
informed
her
that
her
____15____request
could
not
be
granted
as
the
funds(资金)
were
simply____16____.
They
calculated
that
they
would
need
to
raise
more
than
one
million
dollars
in
thirty
days
in
order
to
grant
her
wish.
Disappointed，but
not
discouraged，she
turned
her
disappointment
into
an
enthusiasm
that
inspired
caring
____17____
to
take
up
helping
grant
the
wishes
of
the
other
children,
and
eventually
hers
as
well.
Newspaper
columnists
and
reporters
for
radio
and
TV
stations
shared
the
story
of
this
caring
young
girl
who
had____18____the
hearts
of
so
many

Committees
were
fanned
and
schools，corporations
and
various

assisted

to
help
make
Hope's
dream
come
true.
Her

B
When
students
and
parents
are
asked
to
rate
subjects
according
to
their
importance,
the
arts
are
unavoidably
at
the
bottom
of
the
list.
Music
is
nice,
people
seem
to
say,
but
not
important.
Too
often
it
is
viewed
as
entertainment,
but
certainly
not
an
education
priority
(优先).
This
view
is
shortsighted.
In
fact,
music
education
is
beneficial
and
important
for
all
students.
Music
tells
us
who
we
are,
because
music
is
an
expression
of
the
beings
who
create
it,
it
reflects
their
thinking
and
values,
as
well
as
the
social
environment
it
came
from.
Rock
music
represents
a
lifestyle
just
as
surely
as
does
a
Schubert
song.
The
jazz
influence
that
George
Gershwin
and
other
musicians
introduced
into
their
music
is
obviously
American
because
it
came
from
American
musical
traditions.
Music
expresses
our
character
and
values.
It
gives
us
identity
as
a
society.
Music
provides
a
kind
of
perception
(感知)
that
cannot
be
acquired
any
other
way.
Science
can
explain
how
the
sunrises
and
sets.
The
arts
explore
the
emotive
(情感的)
meaning
of
the
same
phenomenon.
We
need
every
possible
way
to
discover
and
respond
to
our
world
for
one
simple
but
powerful
reason:No
one
way
can
get
it
all.
The
arts
are
forms
of
thought
as
powerful
in
what
they
communicate
as
mathematical
and
scientific
symbols.
They
are
ways
we
human
beings
“talk”
to
each
other.
They
are
the
language
of
civilization
through
which
we
express
our
fears,
our
curiosities,
our
hungers,
our
discoveries,
our
hopes.
The
arts
are
ways
we
give
form
to
our
ideas
and
imagination
so
that
they
can
be
shared
with
others.
When
we
do
not
give
children
access
to
an
important
way
of
expressing
themselves
such
as
music,
we
take
away
from
them
the
meanings
that
music
expresses.
Science
and
technology
do
not
tell
us
what
is
means
to
be
human.
The
arts
do.
Music
is
an
important
way
we
express
human
suffering,
celebration,
the
meaning
and
value
of
peace
and
love.
So
music
education
is
far
more
necessary
than
people
seem
to
realize
24.
According
to
Paragraph
1,
students________.
A.
regard
music
as
a
way
of
entertainment
B.
disagree
with
their
parents
on

What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.
Music
education
deserves
more
attention.
B.
Music
should
be
of
top
education
priority.
C.
Music
is
an
effective
communication

D.
Music
education

students
more
imaginative.
C
For
many
businessmen
online
education
has
been
a
dream.
Now
it
has
come
true.
The
investment
(投资)
in
higher
education
whether
financial
or
in
terms
of
time,
has
long
been
impossible
for
many
of
them.
But
well-known
educational
institutions
have
chosen
to
deliver
an
internet-based
program,
and
these
barriers
have
been
lifted.
That
is
good
news
for
people
eager
to
improve
themselves
and
is
more
attractive
to
employers.
It
is
also
a
benefit
to
industry
with
better
qualified
candidates
applying
for
jobs
at
every
level.
Having
the
benefits
of
a
higher
qualification
without
going
to
the
university
campus
is
attractive
to
many
students.
Campus
study
means
greater
cost,
while
online
programs
are
flexible
and
save
time,
whether
at
home
or
at
work.
Students
can
achieve
their
degrees
without
causing
too
much
disruption
to
their
career
or
home
life.
In
addition
to
affordable,
flexible
classes
and
greater
convenience,
students
also
have
access
to
the
online
learning
resources
of
many
of
the
world’s
top
educational
institutions.
They
can
also
communicate
with
their
tutors
no
matter
what
time
it
is
or
whether
either
party
is
away
for
any
reason.
This
has
opened
up
the
possibility
of
getting
a
qualification
from
a
university
or
college
that
many
students
could
only
have
dreamed
of
in
the
past.
It
also
allows
specialists
to
get
the
precise
qualifications
and
focus
on
their
studies.
As
well
as
seeing
the
increase
of
applicants
from
lower-incomes
and
housewives,
studying
online
in
the
US
is
even
becoming
popular
with
younger
people
of
college
age.
Employers
have
become
increasingly
welcome
and
positive
to
online
qualifications
as
more
candidates
earn
them,
especially
if
they’re
properly
approved
by
the
US
Department
of
Education.
US
institutions
have
led
the
way
in
online
education
provision.
Many
top
US
colleges
and
universities
offer
a
range
of
online
programs
that
are
highly
respected
and
in
every
way
perfectly
fit
for
adults
who
need
to
combine
their
studies
with
a
working
life.
28.

lift
the

an

program
C.

had
a
dream
of
offering

Sometimes
you
may
have
a
strong
desire
to
do
something
strange
or
terrible.
However,
chances
are
that
you
don’t
act
on
your
impulse
(冲动),
but
let
it
pass
instead.
You
know
that
to
take
the
action
is
wrong
in
some
way
and
that
other
people
will
not
accept
your
behavior.
Perhaps
the
most
interesting
thing
about
the
phenomenon
of
taboo
behavior
is
how
it
can
change
over
the
years,
how
certain
behavior
and
attitudes
once
considered
taboo
can
become
perfectly
acceptable
and
natural
at
another
point
in
time.
Topics
such
as
death,
for
example,
were
once
considered
so
upsetting
that
it
was
a
taboo
to
even
talk
about
them.
Now
with
the
publication
of
important
books
such
as
On
Death
and
Dying
and
Learning
to
Say
Goodbye,
people
have
become
more
aware
of
the
importance
of
expressing
feelings
about
death
and,
as
a
result,
are
more
willing
to
talk
about
this
taboo
subject.
One
of
the
newest
taboos
is
the
topic
of
fat.
Unlike
many
other
taboos,
fat
is
a
topic
that
people
talk
about
constantly.
It’s
not
taboo
to
talk
about
fat;
it’s
taboo
to
be
fat.
The
“in”
look
is
thin,
not
fat.
In
the
work
world,
most
companies
prefer
youthful-looking,
slim
manager
to
sell
their
image
as
well
as
their
products
to
the
public.
The
thin
look
is
associated
with
youth,
vigor,
and
success.
The
fat
person,
on
the
other
hand,
is
thought
of
as
lazy
and
lacking
in
energy,
self-discipline
and
self-respect.
After
all,
how
can
people
permit
themselves
to
become
fat?
In
an
image-conscious
society,
thin
is
‘‘in”,
fat
is
“out”.
It’s
not
surprising
that
millions
of
people
have
become
obsessed
(着迷)
with
staying
slim
and
“in
shape”.
The
pursuit
of
a
youthful
physical
appearance
is
not,
however,
the
only
reason
for
people’s
obsession
with
diet
and
exercise.
Recent
research
has
shown
the
importance
of
diet
and
exercise
for
personal
health.
As
in
most
technologically
developed
nations,
the
life-style
of
people
has
changed
since
last
century.
Modern
machines
do
all
the
physical
labor.
Cars
and
buses
transport
us
quickly
from
point
to
point.
As
a
result
of
inactivity
and
disuse,
people’s
bodies
can
easily
become
weak.
In
an
effort
to
avoid
such
a
fate
(命运),
millions
of
people
are
spending
more
of
their
time
exercising.
Parks
are
filled
with
joggers
and
bicyclists,
and
many
companies
are
providing
special
exercise
equipment
for
their
employees
to
use
during
the
work
day.
32.
What
does
the
word
“taboo’’
refer
to
in
the
passage?
A.
A
crime
committed
on
impulse.
B.
An
unfavorable
impression
left
on
other
people.
C.
A
strong
desire
to
do
something
strange
or
terrible.
D.
Behavior
considered
unacceptable
to
the
society.
33.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“in”
look
probably
mean?
A.
The
fashionable
look.
B.
The
hidden
look.
C.
The
usual
look.
D.
The
inside
look.
34.
According
to
the
passage,
the
common
belief
is
that______.
A
fat
people
are
full
of
energy
B.
thin
people
are
more
successful
C.
fat
people
prefer
to
have
fat
bosses
D.

第二节共5小题，每小题2分，共10分
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Neighbors
are
the
people
who
live
near
us.
They
directly
affect
the
social
environment
we
live
in.
Therefore
it
is
important
for
us
to
get
closely
know
our
neighbors
to
feel
comfort
about
our
lives.
____36____I
think
there
are
several
qualities
that
people
who
live
near
to
us
should
contain；
respectful，
helpful
and
dependable.
To
begin
with
respectful，
neighbors
should
always
be
respectful
and
maintain
the
loyalty
between
each
other
and
having
a
good
reputation
among
society.____37____For
example，
our
neighbors
should
not
be
noisy
because
in
my
family
there
are
many
students
and
they
need
a
quiet
atmosphere
in
order
to
studying
and
concentrate
on
their
fields.
Moreover
they
have
to
avoid
of
interfering
and
spying
on
each
other
and
respect
privacy
in
their
lives.
____38____For
instance，
one
day
I
remember
a
fire
was
happened
in
our
kitchen.
Which
that
was
almost
could
cause
a
great
dangerous
but
our
next
door
called
the
firemen，
and
also
until
they
arrived
to
the
house
they
helped
us
on
controlling
the
fire，
which
fortunately
with
their
help
nothing
tragedy
happened
to
our
house.
Another
aspect
of
preferable
neighbors
is
to
be
reliable
and
trustworthy.
____39____And
also
you
may
not
be
worried
about
any
bad
events
that
may
happen
to
you
such
as
if
a
burglar
wants
to
attempt
your
house
when
he
found
out
that
you
are
not
at
home，
the
vigilant
neighbors
immediately
call
the
police
and
guide
your
house
not
to
be
stolen.
In
conclusion，
the
these
above
are
vital
characteristics
of
good
neighbors.
Neighbors
will
not
cause
inconvenience
to
others，
be
tolerant，
cooperatives
and
dependable
in
the
local
community
life.____40____
A
When
will
a
good
neighbor
offer
his
help
to
you?
B.
What
are
the
qualities
of
a
good
neighbor
in
your
mind?
C.
He
won't
teach
your
children
what
to
do
instead
of
you.
D.
In
addition，
they
should
be
helpful
and
supportive
at
any
time.
E.
Also
they
should
avoid
of
disturbing
and
causing
too
much
troubles.
F.
You
can
feel
comfort
and
confidence
with
these
dependable
next
doors.
G.
As
a
result，
neighbors
could
live
cheerfully，
happily
and
harmoniously
together.

Just
like
everyone,
I
have
experienced
ups
and
downs
in
my
life.
I
am
an
experienced
engineer
from
India,
I
was
told
by
my
relatives,
close
friends
and
others
that
it
was
hard
for
a
non-IT
student
to
pursue
a
master's
degree
in
IT
and
graduate
from
a
US
university.
I
had
never
taken
courses
related
lo
computers
or
programming.
1
was
never
interested
in
being
a
programmer,
but
things
changed.
I
became
so
fascinated
with
the
convenience
IT
has
brought
to
our
life
that
I
made
up
my
mind
lo
chase
a
master's
degree
in
IT.
At
first,
I
came
across
too
many
difficulties
and
setbacks.
Coming
from
a
middle-class
family,
the
huge
cost
per
credit
was
a
big
issue.
My
English
accent
was
terrible.
Most
importantly,
the
course
seemed
impossible
at
first.
Although
I
felt
so
discouraged
and
frustrated,
In
ever
thought
of
giving
up.
Then
I
decided
to
choose
my
university
because
it
promised
its
students
to
help
them
learn
practically.
During
my
first
month,
it
was
difficult
to
understand
the
Americans'
accent
and
finish
my
assignments.
But
I
never
gave
in.
I
walked
two
miles
to
the
university
everyday
so
that
I
could
use
my
travel
money
to
buy
a
meal.
I
started
looking
for
jobs
and
I
got
an
offer
to
work
as
a
student
assistant,
which
meant
lifting
benches
and
chairs
everyday.
I
took
all
these
challenges
as
my
chances,
and
I
believed
that
hard
work
was
my
strength.
Right
now
I
am
graduating
with
a
GPA
of
3.96/4andajob
offer
from
a
multinational
company
that
has
asked
me
to
start
right
after
graduation.
