My parents were forcing(逼迫) me to attend a high school 45 minutes from my home. I knew no one out of a class of 110 new students. I had spent the last eight years in a class with 30 kids in a primary school; I had not had to make a new friend at school since the first grade. But I didn’t think I had ever fe lt as lonely as I did that day, before or since. Of course I entered the school that first day with the things I needed on my shoulder. I decided to show my parents what a stupid decision they had made. I joined after-school clubs, and began to know some students; but I couldn’t make any friends. I was one of those people that everybody said hello to, and even invited to sit with them at lunch, but would never call on the phone, or go out with after school.After a full year of this, I began to change myself.I took part in all kinds of activities the students organized and tried my best to make as many new friends as possible. I helped them as much as possible whoever had trouble. They certainly helped me if there was anything wrong with me and by the end of my four years of high school, I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch. I was even voted(投票) by the students of my class to speak at graduation(毕业).Although I was miserable(痛苦) in the first year, the rest of high school was a great success!36.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different thi ngs for my sister and brother. “ But the desk,” she had said again, “is for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived on the surface(表面).As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answers. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I could not be sure that the letter had even got to my mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone that she was not.Now the present(礼物) of her desk told me, as she had never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refoldedmany times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, mother, you always choose the act that speaks louder than words.41.

They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy work of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential(居住的) area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. 46. We can easily know that the underlined phrase“urban areas” in Paragraph 1 means ______________.A. areas of the countrysideB. areas of a town or a cityC. areas near the countrysideD. areas near a town or a city47. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A. Because they can live more comfortably there.B. Because they prefer noisy life to peaceful life.C. They do so mainly to find work.D. Because they are sure of having a better lifethere.48. In a residential area you can see ______________.A. rows of housesB. many offices and factoriesC. a lot of factories and farmsD. many houses with offices and factories49. In the United States, many people work in thecenter of a big city ______________.A. while living on the faraway edge of the cityB. and live thereC. but live in another cityD. but live far away out of the city50. We can infer that this movement from ruralareas to urban areas ______________.A. has been going on for more than 2, 000 yearsB. will continue in the futureC. may not continue in the futureD. is sure to stopPart ⅢWriting (35 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Complete the following sentences according to the given information.51.He ______________(因……而心烦)losing hiswallet.(upset)52.Their team didn’t ______________(该赢)，forthey cheated in the game.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart (购物手推车). But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts wer e ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping ba sket? ”one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假冒的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously (无意识地) bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model.Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.61.What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?(No more than 13 words)(2 marks)________________________________________ ________________________________________ 62. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (Nomore than 10 words)(2 marks)________________________________________ ________________________________________ 63. Why did Goldman hire people to push cartsaround his market? (No more than 15 words)(3 marks)________________________________________ ________________________________________ 64. What do you think of Goldman?

My first thought was that he must need help with his homework or he was trying to 4 me for some news.Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing.” He said. “My teacher said we should 5 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an(a) 6 .”The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had reacted.“Basically, most of the fathers had the 7 reaction as you did”. The teacher said, “When I suggested(建议) we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The point is, the teacher explained, “ 8 loved is an important part of health. Human beings (人类) 9 to be loved. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 10 we don’t all express(表达) that feeling.A boy should be 11 to tell his dad that he loves him.”The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 12 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for an extra second. And just 13 he pulled away, I said in deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”I don’t know if saying that made either of us 14 but it did feel pretty good.

How important are these differences?Certainly, there are some differences between BE and AE. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of BE say: “in hospital” and “Have you got a pen?” Americans say: “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the r’s in words like “bird”and “hurt” Speakers of British English do not sound r’s in these words. There are differences between British English and America n English is spelling and vocabulary.

They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.It is uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, can write English perfectly. This proves that they are not unable to organize their idea in English. The centre of problem is that they lack (缺乏)practice and confidence.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of（摆脱）this trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant（不断的）practice will help you to succeed.5. Which is the best title for the passage?A.

That letter led Frank to spend five weeks in Switzerland learning to be guided by Buddy. Buddy was with Frank when he returned to the United States.

ComprehensionDirections：Read the following passage.The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.Most English people have two or three names，but some Spaniards have a lot more.A Spaniard and his wife went to a foreign country in their car and drove around in it for several weeks.They always slept in big hotels in towns at night，but then there was something wrong with their car.They took it to a garage，and the men there repaired it，but it took a long time，and the Spaniard and his wife were very late after that.They did not reach a town that evening，but came to a small village in the middle of the night.They were very tired，and the next town was forty miles away.They got out of their car and looked for a hotel in the small streets.They walked around the village for a quarter of an hour，and then they found a small hotel.There were not any others in the village.There were no lights in the hotel，but the Spaniard went to the door and knocked at it.Hewaited for a minute，but nobody came to the door.He knocked again and waited another minute，but again no one came.Then he found a bell and rang it.He rang it for several minutes，and then a window at the top of the hotel opened.An old man looked out of the window and said，“What do you want？”“Good evening，” the Spaniard said.“Have you got any free rooms？We're very tired.”It was very dark in the street，and the old man said，“Who are you？”The Spaniard said，“We are Don Ramon Roberto Nanuel Claudio Rodriguez Rafael Eduardo de Salas and Dona Maria Conchita Diana Marcelina Roberta Mercedes M anuela de Salas.”The old man did not speak for a few seconds，and then he said，“There are a lot of you.This is a small hotel，and we haven't got more than two free rooms.”Then he closed the window.36．The Spaniards did not reach a town that evening because ______.A．they had to leave their car in the garageB．their car was broken when they got to a small villageC．they had stayed in the garage too longD．they couldn't find the way to the next town37．They found a small hotel ______.A．fifteen minutes after they got to the villageB．early in the morningC．as soon as they got out of their carD．after they walked around the village a long time38．The old man opened the window

D．He thought there were too many Spaniards.40．A free room is one which is ______.A．not being used B．for saleC．less expensive D．prepared for a late travelerPart ⅢWritingSection ADirections：Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad.For example，when writing book reports and stories，I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper.That way，after my teacher checks my work，I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing.And Microsoft Word has a spell check！I use it all the time.For English class，we are reading The Outsiders by S．E.Hinton.As pre-reading homework，my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet.I tried Google，Encarta，and Yahoo first，and finally found an article on .For geography homework on the United States，I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River.I needed to find out how deep the river is，how its widths and depths are different，what states it runs through，and what kinds of fish live in it.I used the information to show how thegeography of a country influences its economy.For example，the river's trade paths，the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners' jobs and incomes.I never go to the library to do research.It takes too much time.Since I live in New York City and both my parents work，getting to the library isn't always easy.For a big task or research project，I used to stay at the library to read，or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed.Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler.Online dictionaries and encyclopedias(百科全书)also save time.Sometimes，I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy—at least physically.But computers are not like television，which does the thinking for you.You still have to use your mind.I prefer using a computer，easy，fun，and fast.41．What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories？(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 42．Why doesn't the writer go to the library to do research？(no more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ 43．How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project at present？(no more than 12 words)________________________________________________________________________ 44．Why does the author prefer using a computer？(no more than 15 words)________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections：Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.下面是《21世纪报中学生版》(21st Century School Edition)刊登的一封读者来信，请你以编辑Henry的身份给这位中学生写封回信。

It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露）the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.56. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They took a later flight.B. They had early bookings.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.57. What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her children.D. She is interested in cheap products.58. What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D. She's a businesswoman.59. What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to spend money wisely.D. How to make a business deal.BIt’s hard to find a star shining brighter in Nashville than Kenny Chesney. Since he took off 15 years ago, this country musician has sold more than 25 million albums, has had sixteen No. 1 hits, won countless awards and had a sea of loyal fans who have made him the biggest North American concert-ticket seller.Kenny is certainly at the height of his career as he releases his Greatest Hits II album this week. It’s a collection of songs in which he says each take s him to a different place or event in his life. The most personal is the song I’m Alive, Kenny tells The Boot. "Most of the songs on this record are really fun, but I wrote I’m Alive after my breakup with Renee. I woke up one day and realized,even though I had gone through this and didn’t feel good about it, my life still belongs to me. I’m alive; I get to make music; I’ve got a lot of great friends. That’s the message of the song."Kenny insists that the song selection for Greatest Hits II is not formulaic(刻板的). In addition to the hits that climbed the country charts, the singer also wanted to include some songs unknown to his fans that reflected his life and career path. "I didn’t want it to be all hits; I wanted it to be a second chapter of my life in music," he explains. "So the song Beas You Are really does that for me."Kenny recently celebrated his 41st birthday, but the number of candles on the cake didn’t depress him a bit, thanks to what he loves so deeply."I still feel like I’m 18,"he says. "Liv ing life the way you do on the road, it definitely keeps you feeling that way. And I think people that have music in their life are a lot better off (富有) and healthier than people that don’t. I’ve been very content to have not just a little bit of music in my life, but a whole lot of music. It drives my life."60. Kenny Chesney refers to one of his songs I’m Alive for the purpose of _________.A. telling his fans about his breakup with his girlfriendB. inspiring his fans with confidence in lifeC. calling on people to make music like himD. advertising his new album to increase sales61. We can learn from the passage that Kenny Chesney ______.A. is a star not only in Nashville, but also around the worldB. won few awards for his work in country musicC. was at his most successful when Greatest Hits II was releasedD. selected nothing but big hits for Greatest Hits II62. What is the relationship between music and life, according to Kenny Chesney?A. Music is a way of earning a lot of money.B. Music always makes people feel they are 18.C. Music gives life power, besides wealth and health.D. Music is the most important part of everyone’s li fe.【参考答案】21-25 DACAA 26-30 ABBBC 31-35 CBCCD36-40 CCDAB 41-45 DABAC 46-50 CDDBA 51-55 BCADB56-60 BCACB 61-65 CC附：【短语整理一】1. be common to 对----来说常见2. turn up/down 调大/小3. a waste of 浪费waste one’s time on sth./in doing sth. 做某事浪费时间4.no more/not any more不再5. force sb. to do /into doing强迫某人做6. be supposed to do 应该做---7. what to do with sth./how to deal with sth 如何处理---8. go unpunished/wrong 得到惩罚，出错9. go out 熄灭10. instead of 取代11. be hard on 对----苛刻12. now (that) 既然13. feel like dong/sth. /would like to do 想做----14. in the form of 已---形式15. be expected/required to do 有望/要求做---16. let….go 放过---17. call on sb.拜访----18. change ….for/into 交换/变成19. learn from 向---学习20. be proud of/take pride in 已---为自豪21. get good marks 取得高分22. stay up熬夜23. mix up…with /be mixed up 混合24. be nervous about 对---紧张25. keep …in mind 记住26. tidy up/clean up 清理27. make no/little/much difference 没/没多大/有很大区别28. argue about/over sth with sb. 为某事同某人争论29. be upset with/about 对---心烦意乱30. at the moment此刻。

Unit2 Growing pains-Welcome to the unit测试满分：80分时间：35分钟一、背景材料导读A.Growing up is hard enough. The streets don’t make it any easier. A kid needs a place to grow besides the street. And next to home, there’s no place like a Boys Club where a kids finds out just what it needs to get the job done, and what it needs to get a job. That’s why we teach kids computer skills, give them vocational training even help them choose college and career goals.You see, a Boys Club really is more than just a club. It’s a p ool, a friend, a school, a team. It’s a place where a kid connects with the bright future. No wonder over 1,100,000 kids keep coming to 1,100 Boys Clubs all across America. Let’s face it. Beating the streets isn’t easy. But with the help of a strong Boys Club, a kid can have a chance to succeed through efforts.1.W hich of the following sentence is TRUE?A. A kid growing up only needs the street.B. A kid growing up doesn’t need the street.C. A kid growing up doesn’t need home.D. No place but home is better than a Boys Club.2. A Boys Club can ________.A. teach kids how to operate a computerB. train kids how to do a job and do it wellC. help kids choose a school to gain higher education.D. all of the above3. Boys Clubs appear in ________.A. EnglandB. CanadaC. the USAD. Australia4. What does “ Beating the streets” mean?A. Rebuilding the streets.B. Knocking the building of the streets down.C. Getting rid of the bad effects of the streets.D. Kids’ fighting in the streets.5. What’s the pur pose of this advertisement?A. It shows that a kid’s growing up is hard.B. It encourages kids to join Boys ClubsC. It gives a kid a bright future.D. It wants to give a kid a job.B.It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不舒服) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to(倾向)forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.Young people often make their parents angry about their choices in clothes, in entertainment(娱乐) and in music. But they do not mean to cause trouble; it is just what they feel to cut off from the older people’s world into which they have not been accepted. That’s why young people want to makea new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like the music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people very happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “Yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do w hat you like. But if you plan to control(控制) your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility(责任感), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.6. This article is particularly written for________.A. parentsB. both parents and their childrenC. young peopleD. educators7. According to the text, young people tend to ______.A. ask for advice before they really start to do anythingB. do things without thinking carefully aheadC. be very strict with themselvesD. think in the same way as their parents do.8. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their own way, because ______.A. they want to try something new and look different from the older peopleB. they want to make their parents angryC. they try to get their parents into troubleD. they know they are cleverer than the older people9. When young people like to act without much thinking,________A. they want to show they have grown upB. they don’t feel like the way older people actC. they want to get into troubleD. they feel they are lonely10. If a young man plans to control his own life, it’s better for him toA. do everything according to his own wish.B. do everything the way his parents doC. do everything under his parents’ controlD. do everything with his own dutyCChildren have their own rules in playing games. They don’t need referee(裁判) and don’t have trouble keeping scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. However, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities can’t be directly compared. They also enjoy games that moves in stages(阶段), in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the deciding of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled (迷惑不解) at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, (自信的)too, in some games, that it is his place to give orders, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he had caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.11. What is true about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they likeB. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team.D. They don’t need rules12. To become a leader in a game the child has to _________.A. play wellB. wait for his turnC. be confident in himselfD. be popular among his playmates13. What do we know about grown-ups?A. They are not interested in games.B. They don’t understand children’s games.C. They don’t need a reason to play games.D. They find children’s games too easy.14. Why does a child like playing games?A. Because he be someone other than himselfB. Because he can become popular among friends.C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.15. The write believes that ________.A. children should make better rules for their gamesB. children should invite grown ups to play with themC. children’s games can do them a lot of goodD. children play games without reasons.DI loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writingmust be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “ But the desk,” she had said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But asa young girl, I wanted heart-to heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived on the surface(表面).As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answers.

Lots of kids have moved here and made new friends,” my new teacher told me. “Oh, and don’t be concerned about your braces (矫正器). Almost everyone has them here.”Even my new teacher thought I was a nerd (弱者), and he hadn’t even known me for five minutes. If my teacher thought that, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of class were going to think.I wondered what kind of speech he gave them about me, 揟he new girl.?He probably made it sound like I was a nerd whose dad just died and everyone should be nice to me. .I wish I was back with my friends at my old school, where everyone knew me.The bell rang, and the class poured in.

When David came out of the shop, it was gone. He walked home in tears and then, together with his exasperated mother, went to the local police station.Imagine their joy when they arrived at the station: David抯bike was there.

Although it sounds far away, it was actually only about 5 hours by plane from New York City.Day 1Today we walked around the capital city of Iceland. Reykjavik is a European city filled with lots of history, shopping, and good restaurants. One famous place in Reykjavik is the big church in the city center. The famous film Die Another Day was shot here in 2002.Day 2We took the bus to go through the beautiful National Park, and then we went to Golden Waterfall in the highlands and the geysers (间歇泉).There were several active geysers that we were able to stand right near. The geysers threw up hot water every ten minutes and it was a sight to see. Hot water from the geysers is one of Iceland’s greatest treasures. Not only is it used to heat houses and produce electricity (电) but it is also wonderful to just sit in it.We also went to see several waterfalls and were even able to walk behind one of the waterfalls. It is unusual to be able to touch a waterfall in nature. It was a very exciting day.Day 3Tired and exhausted from all the excitement of this wonderful country, we took a taxi to the airport. Goodbye, Iceland. I am really looking forward to our return.8. What do we know about the capital city of Iceland?A. It抯a new European city.B. It抯a good place to visit.t.C.

We can learn from the passage that the writer .A. knew little about Iceland before he visited itB. had an enjoyable trip with his family in IcelandC. went to Iceland by plane but returned by taxiD. decided not to take a vacation once again in IcelandDI turned away from the piano. After an hour of practicing, I still couldn抰play Mozart抯piece well. It was frustrating to have spent such a long time on a piano song and still be unable to play the piece well. To me, the piece had at first seemed very easy, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn抰play it correctly.ly.I decided to take a break, and come back to the piece later. For the most part, after a little bit of work, I could usually learn the song quickly. However, it was always that song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult. These types of songs always made me upset.After having dinner, I decided to come back to the piano. I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully, paying attention to the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method of practicing, I focused on how I could improve myself little by little.I didn’t even get the rhythm (节奏) right until a week later. But I learned an important lesson — sometimes, baby steps are r eally important. I’m the person who likes to do things quickly. But in the case of the piano, I couldn’t move forward and improve until I slowed down, and took one step at a time.12. The writer at first thought that playing Mozart抯piece .A. would be rather difficultB. might waste a lot of timeC. needed much practiceD. was really a piece of cake13.

The writer finally improved herself by .A. reading the notes carefullyB. choosing to play a simple pieceC. practicing the piano in a slow wayD. asking her teacher for help15. What did the writer learn at last?A. Teachers are important to pianists.B. Calm down or you can抰enjoy Mozart抯piece.e.C. Playing the piano needs a lot of practice.D. Go step by step and you will succeed.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。
