greatest risk I'd ever taken was playing a role in my high school's fall play．I was not only a person who had （12） performance（表演）experience，but also I stuttered（口吃）．Then （13） of performing in front of people made me worried．The reason why I （14） to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program．On the day of the audition（试演），there were also some acting exercises to wam us up．Wewere divided into pairs to （15） parts of the play．I felt very worried．After I said someof the lines（台词），my partner said，"I （16） you are stuttering．Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter？"I was speechless．When my （17） to audition came，my heart was beating fast．Across from me sat the director and his assistants（助手）．Needless to say．I was really （18） my performance．I played the

them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？ A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage， ．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？ A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In ageography magazine．D．In a farming book．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flipflops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，howevr，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？ A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were runningtoo fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？ A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning thm not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends ．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customersoften call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26一year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experience When Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all ite on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around sinc 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this specil one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？ A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？ A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl fallin down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？ A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on surperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare ．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？ A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous nvelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（共5小题：每小题5分，满分9分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．36．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry

fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are

Remember there is only small space for each event, sodon't be late.Hercules Throw Throw a football through a hoop(圈)20 feet away.Three-Headed Race Three people line up with touching legs tied. Then they run 100 metres in the playground.Toga-Barrow Race This is like a wheelbarrow race.(Runners take hold of partners' feet while partners walk on hands.)2.Make Greek or Roman food. Mrs. Jones has a list of recipes(莱谱)from ancient Greece and Rome. You may make American food, but be sure to give it a special, mythological(神话的)name. For example, call your chocolate cake "Zeus's Delight."This is a great way to practice your skills in the kitchen.3.Create a work of art for the museum. Be sure your artwork shows ancient Greek or Roman culture. Artworks may include sculptures, paintings, mosaics, drawings or models. The museum isa great place to show off your artistic talent.4.Perform a new short performance, song or dance for the talent show. Rewrite your favorite Greek myth(神话)by using modern language, or change the words of a popular song to-tell a Greek or Roman story. Send your creative ideas to your English teacher for agreement.You must first perform for a group of teachers.

Greek myths or the songs that will be performed are rewritten by the teachersC. Greek or Roman names must be used for American food the students may cook.D.

A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins(维生素)and other nutrients(营养物)that enter our body.Many studies show that people who cat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer, But raw(生的)vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who cat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄红素),the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables."There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better," says Steven K.Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University."For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful."A number decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸)or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting some other things will make it taste better-a little salt-can make the food taste better.( )26.The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will_A.have the eyes problemsB.have heart diseaseC.be in need of lycopeneD.hate eating tomatoes( )27.The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT.A.the place where the vegetables are grownB.the way how the vegetables are storedE.the way how the vegetables are preparedD.the price at which the vegetables are sold( )28.From the last paragraph, we can knowA.it's better to cook vegetables with the fatB.the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eatC.it's better to cook the vegetables without saltD.the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables(C)"BANG!" the door caused a big noise. It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger."Never set foot in this house again!"stormed Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now...I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never allows it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I walked in the streets,without a place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to accompany me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I sawthat the light was still on.I thought to myself:"Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his words:"I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"All the lights were off except Father's.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry. After an argument he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light-was still on."Am I wrong?"I whispered, maybe...With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist(存在)at all. Love---is second to none.( )29.Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?a.I opened the door and entered the houseb.Sadly I ran out into the street.c.I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.d.I thought of my father's kindness towards me.e.I walked about in the street without any aim.A.b-e-d-c-aB.b-e-c-d-aC.b-e-a-c-dD.b-e-c-a-d( )30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The father treats his son in an unfair way.B.The father is actually kind to his son.C.The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.D.The father is always finding his son wrong.( )31.This passage is mainly aboutA. How the boy understand his father's loveB. Where the boy wentC. What made a father angryD. Why the boy left home(D)Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C.to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed,-so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10%to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs.For most people,the hand is used to find things or hold things.The right hand is used to work with things.This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand.The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed,and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become-right-handed-instead-of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn't happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness,he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than deft-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use-their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to.( )32.How many people in the-world-are-left=handed -now?A.Less than one sixth.B.More than a half.C.About 40%.D.The passage doesn't tell us.( )33.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?A.knockedB.changedC.brokeD.harmed( )34:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?.A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.( )35.The.best title for this passage is__________A.Scientists' New InventionsB.Left-handed PeopleC.Which HandD.Different Brains, Different Hands第I卷(非选择题满分42分)四、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

The Dead SeaAt 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth's lowest point on land． It is popular for its wonderful buoyancy（浮力）． The high salt content﹣more than 34 percent ﹣ makes swimming more like floating．Now the Dead Sea is actually dying． People are using water from the Jordan River, which takes water away from the Dead Sea． Since 1930, its surf area has reduced by almost 40 percent．Venice, ItalyWith waterways instead of streets． This "Floating City" has attracted visitors for centuries． But no visit to Venice is complete without a ride on one of its famous gondolas, human powered water taxis． Water creates Venice． But water will also kill the city．Built on soft earth, Venice has slowly been sinking （下沉） for centuries． Now, with rising sea levels caused by human activities, it's sinking faster． According to US﹣based magazine Architectural Digest, the city may disappear in the next 100 years． Better book your gondola soon!Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaCovering more than 2, 300 kilometers of Australia's northeast coast, Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef ecosystem, and an ideal place for scuba divers （水肺潜水者）．Thousands of colorful coral （珊瑚） and fish make homes in the blue sea water． It's like a big underwater party!Sadly, the party might be over soon． The reef is dying． Human activities are changing the weather． Warming ocean, water kills the coral, and this causes problems up the food chain． The New York Times reported that large parts are already dead, and the reef system might be gone by 2030．（1）What can be the best title of the passage？________A Disappearing Watery WondersB Amazing Man﹣made Wonders on theSea C Lost Watery Wonders on the Sea D Last Watery Wonders in the World．（2）Which of the following is the shared cause of the problems all the three places are facing？________A Water loss．B Sea pollution．C Warming seas．D Human activities．．（3）If Tom wants to visit all the following places before they are gone， and he can only afford one in the next 15 years， where must he go？________A The Dead Sea．B Venice．C Italy．D Great BarrierReef．．13. There is good news for students of vocational （职业的） colleges in China: the government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education． Premier Li Keqiang said the government should speed up the development of modern vocational education to meet the need for skilled workers and technicians （技术人员） in the job market． High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges． Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year． This is the first time the central government has a clear plan．This comes after the news of the large shortfall （不足） in highly skilledtechnicians, although China has millions of technical workers． China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020． The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025． Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory （不令人满意的）, although there are many vocational colleges in China． In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading （升级）, manufacturing （制造业）． As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay．To deal with the problem． some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students． They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers． With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China．（1）What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China？________A To train more highly skilled technicians for the job marketsB To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work．C To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills．D To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing．．（2）What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage？________A Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued．．B There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China．C The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory．D Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies．．（3）The writer believes China's future vocational education is________．A hopefulB doubtfulC unsatisfactoryD worrying．14. Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标） that we set for ourselves． Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts （梗概） of a text． Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的） text of yourself．I recently finished reading a thick book of W． Somerset Maugham's collected short stories． It took me around ten years to get through． Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time． Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative （建设性的） experience． There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read． But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情） and pride． I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf． When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual （真正的） book is something much richer． Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？________A Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．B Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading．C Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages．D The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．．（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？________A He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．B A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．C He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．D He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．．（3）In the third paragraph the writer________ his main point of view （主要观点）．A explains the meaning ofB provides further support forC makes a conclusionof D offers an opposite example for．15. When Major, the most respected pig, saw all the animals were present, he cleared his throat and began:"Now, comrades （同志们） , I don't think I shall be with you for many months． Before I die, let me ask you a question． What is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are ________ and short． We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are able to do it are forced to work to the last"Why then do we continue in this miserable? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our hard work is stolen from beings． There, comrades, is the answer to all ourproblems． It is summed up in a single word﹣ Man． Man is the only real enemy we have． Remove （消灭） Man from the scene, and the basic cause of hunger and overwork is ended for ever． ""And now, comrades, I will sing an old song that came into my dream last night to you． I am sure, it was a song sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for marry years． It is called Animals of England．"His voice was hoarse （沙哑的）, but he sang well enough to throw the animals into the wildest excitement． Almost before Major had reached the end, they had begun singing it for themselves．Unluckily, the singing woke Mr． Jones, the farm owner, who jumped out of bed, thinking that there was a fox in the yard． He took the gun which always stood in a comer of his bedroom, and let fly 6 shots （射击） into the darkness． The pellets （子弹） flew into the wall of the yard and the meeting broke up hurriedly． Everyone ran to his own sleeping place． The birds jumped onto their trees, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment．（1）Why did Major make the speech？________A To encourage the animals to fight against Man．B To teach the animals to sing an old song．C To say goodbye to the animals before death．D To complain about his personal miserable life．．（2）What does the underlined word " ________" in the second paragraph most probably mean？________A commonB boringC lonelyD painful．（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？________A The animals on the farm were brave．B Major's speech was nearly successful．C Major and Mr． Jones were friendly to each other．D Mr． Jones forced his animals to work from birth to death．．（4）Why did Mr． Jones fire his gun？________A To break up the animals' meeting．′B To kill the fox he saw in the yard．C To make sure his gun was in good condition．D To protect the animals he raised on his farm．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．16. One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven﹣string zither （七弦琴）， also known as the guqin， one of the four arts ﹣ along with go， calligraphy and painting． It first appeared over 3， 000 ago and represents China's solo musical instrument tradition．At first， the guqin had only five strings， representing the five elements of metal， wood，water， fire and earth． Later． in the Zhou dynasty， King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son， King Wu of Zhou， added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang．Ambience （环境气氛） was important in playing the Chinese zither． Usually， it was practised in quiet setting and never for public performance．Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains． The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes （回音） from the mountains， until the musician found himself at one with nature． Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists， who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world． Also． a night with moonlight was considered ideal for Playing the guqin． Wang Wei （701﹣761）， a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty， liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most．Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long， with the longest being Guangling Verse， which is 22 minutes long． Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements， Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute．Nowadays， there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained gugin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters． The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today． The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity （人类非物质文化遗产） in 2003．五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词．17.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables．But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins（维生素） and other nutrients（营养物） that enter our body．Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer．But raw（生的） vegetables are not always best．Theresearchers found that 198Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene（番茄红素）, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables．"There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better, "says Steven K．Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University．"For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful．"A number decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought．No single cooking way is best．Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways．Vitamins C and B are often lost．In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying（油炸） or serving them raw．Frying was the worst way to cook．What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients．Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them．Putting some other things will make it taste better﹣a little salt﹣can make the food taste better．（1）The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will________．A have the eyes problemsB have heart diseaseC be in need of lycopeneD hate eating tomatoes．（2）The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT________．A the place where the vegetables are grownB the way how the vegetables arestored C the way how the vegetables are prepared D the price at which the vegetables are sold．（3）From the last paragraph，we can know________．A it's better to cook vegetables with the fatB the more fat in the cooking，the fewer vegetables people will eatC it's better to cook the vegetables without saltD the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables．14."Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. "BANG" the door closed behind me. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now…I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without any aim in my mind. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father's.Dad was always like this. He has got used to arguing with me. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never said sorry to me. But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep.The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…With the key in hand, I was a s nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.

Most people around the world are right﹣handed． This also seems to be true in history． In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1, 500 B．C． to the 1950s． Most of the people shown in these works are right﹣handed, so the scientists guessed that right﹣handedness has always been common throughhistory． Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left﹣handed．Why are there more right﹣handed people than left﹣handed ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs． For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things． The right hand is used to work with things． This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain． The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand． The left﹣side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems． Thesefindings show that more artists should be left﹣handed, and studies have found that left﹣handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs．No one really knows what makes a person become right﹣handed instead of left﹣handed． Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left﹣handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born． However, this doesn't happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left﹣handed． One idea is that people usually get right﹣handed from their parents． If a person does not receive the gene（基因） for right﹣handedness, he / she may become either right ﹣handed or left﹣handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with． Though right﹣handedness is more common than left﹣handedness, people no longer think left﹣handed people are strange or unusual． A long time ago, left﹣handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to．（1）After studying works of art made at different times in history， the scientistsfound________．A the art began from 1，500B the works of art ended in the 1950sC most people shown in the works of art are left﹣handedD most people shown in the works of art are right﹣handed．（2）How many people in the world are left﹣handed now？________A More than a half．B Less than one sixth．C About 40%．D The passage doesn't tell us．．（3）What is the hand for most people used to do？________A It's the centre for thinking and doing problems．B It's used to work with things．C It's used to make a person's eyes work together．D It's used to find or hold things．．（4）According to the passage， which of the following is NOT true？________A Left﹣handedness is cleverer than right﹣handedness．B No one really knows what makes a person become right﹣handed．C Today children are not made to use their right hands only．D Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left﹣handed．．（5）The best title for this passage is________．A Scientists' New InventionsB Left﹣handed PeopleC Different Brains， Different HandsD Which Hand．四、填空16. 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
