第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30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

Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you’re a freshman or a senior,developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.

Timemanagement.There are just 24 hours in each day.What you do with that time makes all the difference.While high school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time,college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week.Manage your free time wisely and you’ll make full use of each day.

Goodstudyhabits.If you’ve got them,it’s great.If not,there’s still time to develop them.Good study habits include the following:

·Always be prepared for class,and attend classes regularly.No cutting!

·Finish homework in a timely manner.

·Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before.

·Set aside quiet time each day for study,even if you don’t have homework or a test the next day!

Goodnote-taking.You can’t possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute.But,you do need to set down the important materials.Note-taking should be in a way that’s the most helpful to you.You can try writing notes on different coloured cards.If you really have a problem with note-taking,you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons.Do whatever it takes!

Reviewofdailynotes.Don’t wait until the night before the test to review your notes.Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind.Add any missing pieces.Compare your notes with a classmate’s notes.Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal:mastery of the subject or skill.

21.If you want to form good study habits,you should 　　　. 

A.get them as early as you can

B.study for tests the night before

C.set down all the teacher says

D.go over your notes every day

22.What is the main advantage of reviewing daily notes?

A.To help write down the important materials.

B.To solve some problems with note-taking timely.

C.To help you to master the subject greatly.

D.To add any missing pieces to your notes.

23.What’s the best title for the passage?

Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson.I prefer that students begin at an earlier age.Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano,so I took him in as a student.

Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions.But he just did not have any inborn ability.

I only saw his mother from a distance.She always waved and smiled but never came in.Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons.I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.

I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career.However,several weeks before the recital(演奏会) of my students,Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practising and begged me to allow him to take part.I agreed but I made him perform last in the programme,so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”. 

I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s.Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age.When he finished,everyone was cheering.

I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy.“I’ve never heard you play like that,Robby!How’d you do it?”

“Well,Miss Hondorf.Do you remember I told you my mom was sick?Actually she died this morning.She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play.I wanted to make it special.I knew I could.”That night,Robby was the teacher and I was the student.He taught me so many important things about life.

24.Why did Robby stop coming to the piano lessons suddenly?

A.He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.

B.His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.

C.He thought his teacher disliked him.

D.His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.

25.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too late.

B.The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.

C.The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.

D.No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.

26.From the underlined sentence we can infer that 　　　. 

A.the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him

B.the writer thought Robby a bad advertisement for his teaching

C.with Robby present,the other children couldn’t play well

D.the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time

27.What did the writer learn from Robby?

A.The meaning of true love.

B.The meaning of giving up necessarily.

C.The meaning of being kind to teachers.

D.The meaning of believing in teachers.

C

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.

A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts led by Dr.Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta,Canada,found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.

Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment,doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions.When people with neurological(神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat,it helps them to regain a balanced walk.

Though music cannot make deafness disappear,it really can stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician,even in a noisy environment. 

Besides,music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love,but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure,slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions,improves the movement of blood,and expands blood vessels,thus,promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.

28.How does music affect preterm babies?

A.It helps reduce their pain.

B.It helps develop their potential in music.

C.It helps improve their hearing systems.

D.It helps repair their neurological systems.

29.What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

A.导致　　　　 B.增强

C.延缓 D.促进

30.Why can music mend a broken heart?

A.It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.

B.It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.

C.It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.

D.It can help patients recover in a slow way.

31.What may be the best title for the text?

A.Who can benefit from music

B.The best time to listen to music

C.The way to choose quality music

D.How music affects our mind and body

D

On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert.If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child,and so he walks with the aid of two crutches(拐杖).

The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play.But this time,something went wrong.Just as he finished the first few bars,one of the strings on his violin broke.We thought that he would have to stop the concert.But he didn’t.Instead,he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.

Of course,anyone knows that it is impossible to play a pleasant work with just three strings.I know that,and you know that,but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.

When he finished,there was a breathtaking silence in the room.And then people rose and cheered.There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium (礼堂).

He smiled,wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said,“You know,sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”

This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it.And who knows?Perhaps that is the meaning of life—not just for artists but for all of us.

So,perhaps our task in this fast-changing,puzzling world in which we live is to make music,at first with all that we have,and then,when that is no longer possible,to make music with what we have left.

32.What made Itzhak Perlman’s performance at the concert special on Nov.18,1995?

A.He was recovering from an operation.

B.He was late for the stage.

C.He had a quarrel with the audience.

D.His string of violin got broken.

33.Why didn’t Itzhak Perlman accept the fact on the stage?

A.He was a person of self pride.

B.He thought the audience didn’t see that.

C.He decided to succeed with fewest conditions.

D.He didn’t see the string get broken at all.

34.Why did the audience give heated claps to Itzhak Perlman?

A.They were moved by his disease.

B.They were moved by his spirit.

C.They were laughing at his action.

D.They were encouraging him to cheer up.

35.What is the best title for the passage?

A.When you lose the most important thing

B.How can you give it up easily?

C.Playing a violin with three strings

D.Playing a violin to yourself

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Too often a wrong view gets around us that it is our physical conditions that make us happy or unhappy.As a result,physical conditions have been overstated.

　36　,that is,good standard of living,high goals that we want to achieve,surrounding ourselves with a nice house,nice cars,nice clothes,etc.　37　.But many times once we achieve our goals and are surrounded by what we thought would make us happy,we are still unhappy.Also on the other end of the stick,many,many people are unhappy now,because they have not achieved their goals and 　38　,which,as a result,adds to their dissatisfaction with life. 

So this is why so many people keep themselves for most of their lives in a state of incompleteness and unhappiness,and this is why so many super successful people still aren’t happy.The reason is that 　39　.They think that the universe should give them what they want first and then they’ll be happy.But that just puts a barrier in between them and happiness,because of the way the universe is set up. 

The message here is to understand that your desires tell you where you want to put your focus in your life;however,　40　.You make yourself happy from the inside out.Not the outside in.Do not require certain conditions be met for your happiness,because it won’t work anyway. 

A.We have different ways to get what really makes us happy

B.they don’t have what they want in life

C.We set out to get happy by trying to control all the wonderful conditions around ourselves

D.they are never there to be found in life

E.they should not control your happiness in this moment

F.We may think this is the key to our happiness

G.they don’t realise how to get happy

She said,“My name is Laura.I’m from Britain.If we’re going to spend six hours side by side on this 　44　,we’d better be friends.” Then she started a conversation with me and didn’t 　45　 my unfriendly reactions.She talked 　46　 about herself and her trip to Hong Kong. 

I gave her one-word answers to her questions about me.Not affected by my 　47　,she nodded as she made 　48　 about my answers.She was warm and considerate,　49　 that I had room to stretch in my seat.I couldn’t help but let down my 　50　 slowly.Laura was an interesting conversationalist.During our conversation,Laura 　51　 to make every crew member on the plane who 　52　 us walk away laughing at her jokes.

M:Yes,we still need two.So are you interested in working with us?

W:Yes.How long is the shop open every day?

(Text10)

21.D　根据文中“Goodstudyhabits.”中的“Reviewyournotesdailyratherthanstudyforteststhenightbefore.”可知答案选D项。

22.C　根据文章最后一句“Reviewyournoteseachdaytoimproveyourlearningandbuildtowardsyourfinalgoal:masteryofthesubjectorskill.”可知选C项。

23.A　根据文章开头的“Whetheryou’reaboyoragirlandwhetheryou’reafreshmanorasenior,developingthefollowingskillswillhelpyouachievesuccessinschoolandinlife.”可知选A项。

24.B　从作者对事情的讲述,特别是文中的“DoyourememberItoldyoumymomwassick?Actuallyshediedthismorning.”可知,Robby当时突然不来学习钢琴了,是因为妈妈病得太厉害而无法来送他学习钢琴了。故选B项。

25.D　文中句子“NeverhadIheardapieceofMozart’splayedsowellbysomeoneathisage.”的意思是:我从没听过他这个年龄的孩子能把莫扎特的曲子弹得这么好。故D项的描述是错误的。

26.B　从上文的“Buthejustdidnothaveanyinbornability.”可知,Robby没有弹钢琴的天赋,所以后来他不来上课了,作者很高兴,因为这样不会损害自己教钢琴的名声了。故答案为B项。
