He was once a barefooted rice-planter in a village in Hunan. He had never heard even the names, let alone the music, of Beethoven or Mozart until he was 19. But when he went back to his hometown last month, 27 years later, he was an internationally recognized musician who has won the highest honours the music industry can give.
Tan Dun staged his latest work, “The Map: Saving Disappearing Music Traditions”, for free before an audience of 3000 Hunan people. Most of them were local Miao and Tujia minorities.
The piece was the product of his 1999 inspirational tour to the western part of Hunan Province, where many minorities live. It was performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra (波士顿交响乐团) earlier this year with the composer himself conducting .
As a musician who has spent 20 years expressing multiculturalism through music, he has made a great impact (影响) on the world’s music scene. He mixes classical and non-classical, east and west, traditional styles and new techniques. For his efforts, he has won an Oscar and a Grammy award and been named Musical America’s “Composer of the Year”.
One of Tan’s most famous works is “Symphony 1997: Heaven Earth Mankind”. The orchestral work was performed live to mark the official handover of Hong Kong to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. He has also composed music for films including “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in and “Hero” in .
“Music is a way of expressing internal feelings and my music is completely based on Chinese culture,” said Tan.
When he arrived in New York in 1986, he wanted to be a standard western composer. But, after working with many leading western musicians, he realized that he couldn’t turn his back on his roots. “Chinese culture gave me a golden key that has opened many different musical gates,” he said.

The first tape recorder didn’t use tape. It used long thin wire. It was invented in 1900 by Valdermar Poulsen. In 1930, German scientists invented the tape we use today. Back then the tape was on big rolls. In 1964 the Philips company in Holland invented t he cassette. It’s pretty much a holder for the tape. People use cassettes all over the world. If you don’t have a cassette recorder, borrow one.
Think of a book your parents read out loud to you. That might be a great book to read out loud to your mom or dad in their car. Put a cassette in the recorder, open the book, hit the record button and start reading out loud.
Remember there is no such a thing as a wrong way to do this. You might think you’ve made a mistake, but this gift is part of you, an d nothing about that can be a mistake. It’s impossible.
You get to be all artistic and creative here. You might want to play music in the background. Do whatever you want. The gift is you, so you decide. Remember to say “I love you”at the end of your reading. That’s like the prize at the end of the book.

Thousands of us long to master the English language; many of us also dream of shining on the stage as actors or actresses. How about combining the two — to play drama in English?
On the evening of May 25, a Drama Night show was given in Beijing Foreign Studies University as a par t of the university’s Festival of English Language and Culture.
Six teams from different departments took part in the competition, each bringing the audience a magnificent play of about 25 minutes, including “The Twelfth Night” written by Shakespeare, “The Cop and The Anthem” by O’Henry and the well-known fairy tale “The Giant and the Garden.”
The first prize winner was “Alibaba and the Four Gangsters,” performed by the School of International Business. Adapted from the original story in “Thousand and One Nights,” the play was performed somewhat like a comical cartoon, arousing the laughter of the audience from beginning to end. “Forrest Gump” given by the School of English Language Communication, was an experimental piece. Bringing the Hollywood movie to the stage, it used pictures from the movie as a background and imitates its lines.
In this university with a traditional interest in playing drama in foreign languages, students felt it was both a challenge and an improvement for their language skills. “Ever y sentence in our play was written by ourselves,” said Duan Kunlun, director of “Alibaba and the Four Gangsters.” We referred to dictionaries, discussed among ourselves and inquired the teachers to produce correct and beautiful lines. This is a greatly ben eficial experience. As players’ pronunciation and intonation took 30 per cent in judges’ scores, Shi Dite, who played Forrest Gump, said they watched the original movie dozens of times to imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
“We encourage students to play English dramas,” said Wang Weifang, a teacher in the English Department at BFSU. “By this, students not only display their ability, but also learn and practice English with great fun.”
53. The Drama Night show at BFSU _______.
A. enables the students to master English
B. took place in the university’s Festival of English Language and Culture
C. fulfils some students’ dream of becoming actors and actresses
D. was given by English department
54. “Alibaba and the Four Gangsters” are ________.
A. written by the students
B. written by O’Henry
C. a well-known fairy story
D. performed by School of English Language Communication
55. “Forrest Gump” is ________.
A. a play performed by the students
B. an experimental piece written by the students
C. a Hollywood movie
D. comical cartoon
56. Because the players’ pronunciation and intonation were important in playing English dramas,
the students ________.
A. referred to dictionaries
B. inquired teachers to produce beautiful lines
C. watched the original movie dozens of times
D. learned to practise English with great fun

Imagine that the genome (基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with
thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book. Or as long as 800 Bibles, If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document. A huge volume, a
cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor (比喻), It is true
to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings
through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication(困难) is that all
English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, Genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters, And instead of being
written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子), The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.
57. How do human genomes read according to the passage?
A. Only from left to right.
B. Only from right to left.
C. From both directions at the same time.
D. From one direction at a time
58. We can learn from the passage that the human genome_____..
A. is as long as the River Danube
B. can be easily placed on the head of a pin
C. is coded with an alphabet of four letters
D. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself
59. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for____.
A. specialists in the field
B. general readers
C. natural scientists
D. readers with academic background
60 The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is_____.
A. to focus on the differences between the two
B. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C. to simplify the concept of the human genome
D. to give an exact description of the human genome

书面表达
One possible version:
Recently I’ve had an interview with some experts and college students about their opinions on job hunting.
College students have different opinions. Some of them want to find a well-paid job while a few of them want to be self-employed/start their own business. However, the minority are not in a hurry to hunt jobs but wait for a better chance at home. Toward this point of view, some experts warn that it might be more difficult for those at home to find a satisfactory job next year. They advise graduates to find a regular job as quickly as possible so that they can earn some money to support themselves / earn a living ,and get much working experience, which will help to find a better career in the coming year.
As we know, every year more and more college students graduate from school, the competition is getting a bit fierce. So in my opinion graduates should find a job as quickly as possible after graduation.
