AChinese pianist Lang Lang won the respected Spanish Premios Ondas award on Tuesday in Barcelona，Spain, becoming the first Chinese to receive the honor.The committee said Lang got the award in recognition of his achievements in bringing classical music to the whole world and especially to new and younger audiences.Lang, 32, accepted the Special Mention of Music's Award during the 61st Ondas Awards C eremony 2014 and performed on stage at the Gran Teatre del Liceu.“To receive this award is an encouragement for me，”Lang told China Daily, adding that he would try his best to promote music education for children all over the world and help more children appreciate classical ng also said that he gave a master class to junior music camp students in Barcelona on Nov.15.The Premios Ondas awards were first set up in 1954 and are given out annually.In 1956, the pro gram extended its range with an international awards category.Well­known bands U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Coldplay, as well as pop singer Ricky Martin, have all previously won the award.On Nov.13，Lang won the German Bambi Award in Berlin for his outstanding achievements in classical st year, Lang was also the first Chinese to be named International Artist of the Year at the Classic Brit Awards in Britain.1．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The story of Lang Lang.B．Lang Lang won Spanish Premios Ondas award.C．The Premios Ondas awards of Spain.D．The achievements of Lang Lang.2．Why did Lang Lang win the Spanish Premios Ondas award?A．Because he plays music well.B．Because he is the best pianist in China.C．Because he has made achievements in bringing classical music to new and younger audiences.D．Because he gave a master class to junior music camp students.3．Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “previous ly”in the fourth paragraph?A．Before. B．Quickly.C．Surprisingly. D．Normally.BI got a piano when I was 26 years old.I had been longing to play the piano since I was a little girl. My grandmother had a piano in her house.But she gave it away to my aunt when I was still little. After I got married, someone offered a piano to us for D|S280.We bought it immediately, even though it meant that we had to live off our food storage for a couple of months.Paying a teacher was out of the question, so I set out to teach myself the piano.First, I set out to learn to read music.I got any music I could find and played songs by looking at notes.The problem was that I couldn't play any piece of music if I didn't look at notes.I had always thought that playing the piano by ear was reserved for a few select pianists who were born with the gift.However, one day, what a pianist told me changed my opinion.One day, I went to a concert.Luckily，after the concert, I could talk with the pianist for a while.He told me that everyone could play the piano by ear if he or she tried hard enough.He meant that to learn to play the piano by ear, I would have to practice it.So I started playing jingles (短曲) from advertisements.Before long, I was able to pick out simple tunes of songs that were very familiar to me, and even to add accompaniments (伴奏)．When I started practicing playing by ear, I also realized that my sight of reading skills improved greatly.It's because rather than reading every note,I was able to put my fingers where they should be according to the feel of the music.Remember，you can learn to play the piano by ear, too.4．After the author got married, she________.A．bought a new pianoB．lived a very rich lifeC．still longed to play the pianoD．had no time for her hobbies5．What was the problem when the author played the piano at the beginning?A．She had a very poor memory.B．She couldn't read music well.C．She couldn't find much music to play.D．She couldn't play music without notes.6．At first the author considered playing the piano by ear was________.A．interesting B．challengingC．popular D．boring7．How does the author usually play the piano now?A．By looking at notes carefully.B．By looking at notes and remembering them.C．By playing the piano without looking at every note.D．By playing the piano without adding accompaniments.CI visited a friend's home the other day.While at his home，I noticed that he didn't like turning off the lights when they were not needed.So I started talking about global warming with him.I said that global warming had become a serious problem and that we all should do what we could to help prevent it.What he said really disappointed me. He said, “Why bother？Global warming can't be prevented.”In my point of view, although we can't prevent global warming completely, we are able to perform a range of actions which may help to reduce the future effects of global warming.And I think everyone on the earth should try to prevent global warming.Here aresome things I think we can do at home.We can recycle useful things to help diminish energy consumption (消耗) on making new products.We should ensure we have the appropriate wall/roof insulation (隔热) and window/door products on our house.This can not only reduce the energy needed to heat a house, but could also save us money over the coming years due to lower electricity/heating bills.Making use of energy­efficient light bulbs will reduce the amount of energy required to light a room. Energy­efficient light bulbs usually last much longer and could save us money in the long­run over traditional light bulbs.When purchasing new electrical items for our home such as washing machines，refrigerators or computers，we can consider energy­efficient rated products.One of the easiest ways to prevent global warming in the future is to ensure that all devices are turned off when not in use and not needed.Many devices contain lights which are lit whenever the power is turned on to the device, even if not in use.When purchasing groceries, we can look for local produce.If we all do what we can to help prevent global warming, global warming will become a less concerning problem.8．What is most probably the author's attitude toward her friend's words?A．Interested. B．Indifferent.C．Supportive. D．Disapproving.9．What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Reduce. B．Replace.C．Examine. D．Change.10．The author suggests using the appropriate wall/roof insulation because it________.A．can last for many yearsB．is an energy­efficient deviceC．receives sunlight to heat a roomD．saves energy used to heat a house11．Which of the following actions is NOT mentioned in the text?A．Using renewable energy.B．Purchasing local produce.C．Using energy­efficient devices.D．Turning off devices which are not needed.DJaws is a classic and very scary movie, but it's hard to imagine just how huge a great white shark is until you actually see one close up.Deep Blue, an at least 20­foot female great white shark living off the Pacific coast of Mexico, is one of the largest sharks ever filmed.Recent video footage shows the giant shark“high­fiving”a biologist who studies it in a cage with a fin (鳍) near Guadalupe Island, Mexico.The giant shark, called Deep Blue by researchers, was first featured back in the summer of last year by the Discovery Channel in a documentary.The shark was obviously pregnant at the time of the documentary filming.Now a much slimmer Deep Blue has showed up again at Guadalupe Island.The researchers point out that the massive shark is recognizable by her numerous scars.In the Discovery documentary, it is explained that large and vertical slashes on Deep Blue's left flank are likely from fights with other sharks.Deep Blue also has a big wound on her right side, and both her dorsal (背部的) fin and tail show signs of scrapes and damage.Great white sharks are known as the largest predatory fish in the ocean.Wildlife biologists say that great whites usually grow to close to 15 feet in length, with a few specimens (试样) reaching more than 20 feet long and topping out at around 5, 000 pounds.Females typically give birth to 2－14 fully formed pups.The classic film Jaws gave great whites a bad reputation, showing them as nothing more than meat­eating machines.However,_additional_research_into_great_white_behaviors_is_beginning_to_paint_a_more_complex_picture．There is strong evidence that great whites do socialize to a limited extent, and moreover, they are not always violent or aggressive.12．In the recent video footage, the giant shark was________．A．friendly to a biologistB．trying to attack a biologistC．being trained by a biologistD．trying to escape from a cage13．Paragraph 3 mainly explains________.A．why the white shark gets injuredB．how white sharks usually get injuredC．what the documentary is mainly aboutD．why the white shark could be clearly recognized14．We learn that white sharks________.A．don't typically reach over 20 feet longB．hardly give birth to 14 fully formed pups one timeC．can be hunted by larger predatory fish in the oceanD．usually weigh about 5, 000 pounds after theygrow up15．What is implied in the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A．Scientists know about white sharks very well.B．White sharks are more violent than people think.C．White sharks aren't always violent or aggressive.D．More research is needed to know about white sharks.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(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。

Module 3 课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解True friends double your happiness and half your burdens. Basically how you would like a true friend to be is what you should be like to your true friends. Trust, forgiveness, responsibility are some elements of a true friendship.True friendships are hard to achieve. And what's more, life is short. So treasure these friends if you already have them. If you don't continue to search, because once you have them, life will become so much easier to live, no matter what happens. I have been through very difficult times and I dare say, without my friends, I would not have made it. Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain them, not to mention time. When your friends need you, and when things are not going too well on your side, it is often so easy to turn_a_deaf_ear_to their requests. It is especially during these times that you must find the strength to help your friends.And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger. And you must always be happy for their successes, even when things are not going too well for you. It might be hard to do this, but it is something that you need to learn.Think about all the sacrifices your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles. Think about all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad, difficult times you went through together. That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend. Remember：true friends are the next best thing to family. They will always be your supporters.1．What is the best title for this passage?A．A precious friendshipB．A true friendC．A happy timeD．Friend, a treasure2．True friendships are hard to achieve because ________．A．friendships can help you through difficult timesB．friendships need lots of energy and patienceC．your friends need you to give more help to themD．you should be always on your friends' side3．The underlined phrase “turn a deaf ear to” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A．pretend not to knowB．take no measures toC．have no means toD．turn to a deaf forⅡ.任务型阅读Five Things to Do in a Traffic JamTired of traffic jams?

Module 4 课下能力提升(十三)阅读理解AIf you have a good ear for music and have completed a formal music training program, you can become a music transcriber.The primary role of a music transcriber is to listen to the music as it is recorded or played and write it down.The first step to become a music transcriber is to complete a test of your listening skills.The ability to clearly differentiate (区分) between notes, tone and pitch is essential in this position and cannot be taught.A musical ear can be developed over time to enjoy music, but the level of detail required is a natural gift.In many countries, a hearing test is performed before any formal music training is started.Students without an ear for music might be encouraged to try different activities.The next step is to obtain formal music training.This training can start as early as age 3 or 4, as soon as the child can tell apart symbols and follow instructions.The piano is the first instrument for most people, because it is among the simplest to learn.As part of the training program, students typically learn how to read sheet music, play according to the notes and perform.Musical theory, composition classes and musical history are all part of any formal music training program and form the base of knowledge required to become a music transcriber.These classes typically are completed after 8 to 10 years of formal music study, typically when the student is in his or her teens or early adulthood.Ear training classes are a standard part of the curriculum and include exercises focused on improving listening skills.The ability to correctly identify notes when played on a variety of instruments is essential for anyone who wants to become a music transcriber, as this is the majority of his or her daily work.In order to become a music transcriber, the student must be able to quickly and accurately record music for a variety of instruments.Without this background，mistakes can be made, and the music written in a way that

all over Australia.But I hesitated.My friends all told me to go for it.And Mary also thought I should do.“Go, Sam.I'll manage with the family ...it'll be OK.”I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard.Soon they would both be in high school ...and where would I be？I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support.If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, but also certainly miss out on watching them grow up.Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and I ...and I couldn't bear it.My family was my life.So I refused the

外研版精品英语资料（精校版）.Module 2 课下能力提升(五)阅读理解A“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened.” C．S. Lewis writes in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds and evil (邪恶). C．S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel (残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.”“It would be nice，” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor (盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”Bruno Bettelheim, a well­known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does — it makes life larger.1．According to the first paragraph, C．S. Lewis thinks that ________．A．children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is badB．adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their childrenC．death and badness should be kept out of children's mindsD．writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children2．What probably is St. George according to the text?A．He is a policeman in real life.B．He is a murderer caught by the police.C．He is a brave man in a fantasy novel.D．He is a frightening person in a story.3．Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim?A．Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.B．Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.C．Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.D．Because it gives children a happy memory when they grow up.4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________．A．literature can give readers more frightening storiesB．fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problemsC．personal fantasies can help children get away from dangerD．most children can understand what fantasy literature isBThe Magic Pen of J．K.Rowling“I really wrote it for me, it was what I found funny and what I liked.”Those are the words of J．K.Rowling, the author of the greatly popular Harry Potter books.The quote refers to the first in a series of novels starring a young character who has built a lasting place unlikely to change for his creator in the world of children's literature.Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born in England in 1965, and wrote her first story at the age of six.She was in her mid­20s when the idea for the Harry Potter novels came to her, during a long train ride.By the end of that journey, she says, the character of Harry and the school for wizards which he attended were more or less fully formed in her mind.It would be several years, however, before the novel was completed.By that time, Rowling had been through a failed marriage.Living on welfare as a single parent, she wrote about Harry Potter while sitting in an Edinburgh café with her daughter asleep beside her.She could not have dreamed of the fame and success which Harry would bring her in the years to come.Harry Potter is not your average superhero.He is 12 years old, skinny, wears glasses, and tends to worry a lot.Yet, he has taken the imagination of children and adults the world over, and has introduced millions to the joys of reading.Harry's attractiveness comes from his role as a very ordinary boy who finds himself in extraordinary situations.Orphaned (沦为孤儿) as a baby, Harry spends the next ten years being mistreated by the very bad relatives with whom he lives.On his 11th birthday, he learns that he has magical powers and is admitted for training at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.The adventures of Harry and his friends at the school are wonderfully narrated by J．K.Rowling.She manages to lead her millions of readers deep into the world of the supernatural, while at the same time dealing with the fears and emotions of the ordinary human world.Many feel that this is the real magic of Harry Potter.5．Joanne Kathleen Rowling wrote Harry Potter initially for ________．A．herself B．her husbandC．her daughter D．becoming rich6．According to the passage, which statement is CORRECT?A．The novel was completed shortly after the journey in which she formed the outline.B．When she completed the novel, she had a very happy family with her husband loving her.C．When she was writing the novel, her daughter was being looked after by her parents.D．While she was writing the novel, she was living a rather hard life.7．Why does the novel Harry Potter attract so many readers? It is because of__________．A．J.K.Rowling's vivid description of the world of the supernaturalB．Harry Potter's role as a very ordinary boy who finds himself in extraordinary situationsC．dealing with the fears and emotions of the ordinary human worldD．above all8．What does t he underlined word “narrated” mean?A．give a lectureB．give a written description of sth.C．give a spoken description of sth.D．tell sb.a story orallyCRobert Frost (1874－1963) is one of America's most beloved poets. He was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he wasn't associated (与……有联系) with any particular group of poets. He stuck to his own literary beliefs, and as a result, he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved. If you are to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street, we are sure that many people will recognize the poem immediately as Frost's.Mending Wall, which is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost's second book of poetry, is one of his most popular poems. It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes. “I” want to destroy the wall, and the “neighbor”wants to leave it standing.We just can't get enough of walls, can we? People love boundaries (界线). We love them when we're little, protecting our precious toys from our troublesome (令人烦恼的) brothers and sisters. As we get older, we begin to throw around the gentle term “personal space”， as in “GET OUT OF MY ROOM！” In college, we really learn how the idea of “My house is your house” doesn't always result in happy roommate relationships. After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things, we often put up fences, gates, walls, or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.Walls help us protect ourselves, but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other. Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries, and why we use them the way we do. This poem sends a wake­up callto the universe.There are walls between our hearts.9．What can we learn about Robert Frost?A．His writing style is special.B．His first poem is about life.C．He often criticized other poets.D．He joined many poetic movements.10．In Paragraph 3, what does the author want to show?A．Sharing with others brings us happiness.B．There seem lots of walls in our life.C．Walls let people know about themselves.D．Personal space is important to everyone.11．The third paragraph is developed by ________．A．space B．exampleC．time D．comparison12．The underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”．A．true use B．old wayC．negative part D．major difference课下能力提升(五)语篇解读：本文作者反驳了一些反对儿童阅读奇幻文学的错误观点，并强调了阅读奇幻文学的必要性。
