Cole was not deaf．He quickly showed an interest in music．Mr．Moran is a singer and songwriter．He says his son liked to be nearby when he was making music at home．When he was just one year old，Cole started playing notes（音符）of simple songs on a toy piano．"That is about the same time we discovered he had perfect sense of pitch（音高）．Because when he would miss a note and hit the wrong notes in a song like‘Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star，'he would go back and find that note．So that's how we realized he knew what he was hearing．"Cole Moran is now 12years old．Cole plays music every day．He records his performances and listens back to the sound．Cole's choice of instrument since he was four has been the harmonica（口琴），which he often plays with his dad．Last year，the father and son won second place at a Fiddler's Convention in their hometown．The 12﹣year﹣old released his first CD recently．His mother，Jenny Moran，was excited．"It is wonderful that he has something that he can do for the rest of his

the movie world is Hollywood，in the United States．However，the real movie capital is Mumbai，in India．Mumbai used to be known as Bombay，and so the film industry（产业）there is called"Bollywood"．Each year，Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood．The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies．For one thing，Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies．Most Bollywoodmovies are more than three hours long，and contain singing，dancing，adventure，mystery and romance．Because Bollywood films has so many different characters，this style of film is called a"masala"film．Masala is an Indian word for a mixture（混合）of spices（调味品）．Another big difference is the way the movies are made．It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood．In fact，filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script（剧本）is finished．The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made．Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it．Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time．They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes（戏装）and scenery．Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story，shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors．This also helps to keep the cost（成本）of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies．8．What is Not True about Mumbai？A．It is the movie capital of India．B．The new name is Bombay．C．More movies are made there than in Hollywood．D．It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood．9．Why are Bollywood films often called"masala"films？A．They have spicy stories．B．They show Indian culture．C．They mix

takes a lot of masala to make a movie．C．Most Bollywood movie are very similar．D．Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies．12．（8分）Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing．Sometimes，it describes something that is not yet ripe（成熟的）or finished．For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience，who is new to a situation．In the 15th century，a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns（角）had not yet developed．A century or so later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle．By the 18th century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today﹣﹣﹣a person who is new in a job．About 100years ago，greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west．Old ﹣timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east．The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west．Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb．The expression comes from the early 1900s．A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion，jealousy（嫉妒）．The green﹣eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space．It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello．"It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants．A young man may suffer from the green﹣eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else．Or，that green﹣eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not．In most places in the world，a green light is a signal to move ahead．A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on．In everyday speech，a green light means approval to continue with a project．12．If a person was a greenhorn，he might．A．be good at growing plantsB．get along well with othersC．be a soldier in the 16th centuryD．have no experience in doing something13．When you have trouble in growing flowers，you can ask for help from．A．a green thumbB．a green lightC．a greenhornD．a green﹣eyed monster14．If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman's，you may．A．need to buy a green lightB．have to get a green thumbC．show them your greenhornD．be affected by the green﹣eyed monster15．What is the passage mainly about？A．The origin of the word"green"．B．Some expressions concerning green．C．The story of a green﹣eyed monster．D．Some ways of how to use words properly．第二节（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）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。

ATourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.1.

What is the best title of the passage?A. The Change of TourismB. TourismC. The Importance of TourismD. The Cause of Tourism ChangeBI woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).4.

One trouble never comes alone.CAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡；打盹) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．8. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch．B. Because it’s hot in summer．C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time．D. Beca use you didn’t have a good sleep last night．9. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．C. If you take naps everyday, you’11 never suffer from heart disease．D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．10. What can we infer from the passage?A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateDOne of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secr etly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much or mak e any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and her husband Stall McKale,65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”12.

Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the pa per to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher（卖肉者）, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop.

Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motor home lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motor home is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motor home. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motor home this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motor home hire service is very seasonal and motor home hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motor homes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motor home hire is provided by Motor home which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motor home hire information. Motor home has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motor home are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motor home for their holidays.8．The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A. take an adventureB. travel to EnglandC. try a new lifestyleD. hire a motor home9．What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Fast.B. Safe.C. Useful.D. Exciting.10．Why should you book a motor home early if you want to book one for this summer?A. Booking early is much cheaper.B. Summer is usually a very busy season.C. You can arrange your time better this way.D. Students usually book them to earn money.11．The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motor home by _________.A. telling us a storyB. giving detailed dataC. comparing it with flyingD. showing the results of a studyDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. Fr om the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style o f clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority —someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume thatthey know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.12．Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.13．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.14．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly15．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent-teen warC. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

Mr. Moran is a singer andsongwriter. He says his son liked to be nearby when he was making music at home.When he was just one year old, Cole started playing notes(音符) of simple songs on a toy piano.

So that's how we realized he knew what he was hearing."Cole Moran is now 12 years old. Cole plays music every day.

However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay,and so the film industry(产业)there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(调味品).Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.Bollywood actors are so popular that some ofthem may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戏装) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.8. What is Not True about Mumbai?A. It is the movie capital of India.B. The new name is Bombay.C.

Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.DGreen is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today --- a person who is new in a job.About 100 years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east. The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. Theexpression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello."It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.In most places in the world, a green light isa signal to move ahead. A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project.12. If a person was a greenhorn, he might ___________.A. be good at growing plantsB. get along well with othersC. be a soldier in the 16th centuryD. have no experience in doing something13. When you have trouble in growing flowers, you can ask for help from ___________.A. a green thumbB. a green lightC.a greenhorn D. a green-eyed monster14. If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman’s, you may___________.A. need to buy a green lightB. have to get a green thumbC. show them your greenhornD. be affected by the green-eyed monster15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of the word “green ”.B. Some expressions concerning green.C. The story of a green-eyed monster.D.
