AAs the saying goes,“Without music,life would be a mistake.”Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history. Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Born in Bonn,Germany,Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna.He supported himself by giving concerts,teaching piano,and the sale of his compositions(作曲).The last30years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times,the first of which was his deafness.Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach,“the father of modern music”,was born in Eisenach,Germany.His parents died when he was nine years old,and in1695he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph,who was an organist(风琴手)in Ohrdruf.He stayed there until1700.Seven years later,he moved back to Weimar,where he served as court(宫廷)organist for nine years.His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin(1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola,Poland.He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age.Chopin began composing when he was still a child,but some of his early works have been lost.He gave his first public concert in1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna.Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈),Schubert was not a great performer.He never had much money but he was very productive.He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen.However,he died young,before his talents had even been known.21.Beethoven did Not make a living by___.A.teaching studentsB.giving concertsC.selling his worksD.doing business22.Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until_____.A.1765B.1707C.1750D.171623.Who is called“the father of modern music”?A.BeethovenB.BachC.ChopinD.Schubert24.What do we know about the four musicians?A.They all lived a hard life at their old age.B.They were all good at playing the piano.C.They became famous at a young age.D.They were all talented musiciansBAfter twenty-third hour at night,the house was quiet.I didn’t go to bed.Under the strong light,I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome thing they call“books”.I would have my important examination the next day.“When can I go to bed?”I asked myself.I didn’t answer,in fact I dared not.As soon as the clock struck twelve,I suddenly heard and couldn’t help crying“Oh, dear!Many more books to read before I can go to bed!”We students are the most wretched creatures in the world.Dad does not agree with me on this.He didn’t have to work so hard when he was a boy.When the clock struck one,I felt I was hopeless now.I forgot all I had learned.I was too tired to go on.I did the only thing I could.I prayed,“Oh,God,please help me pass the exam tomorrow.I do promise to work hard afterwards,Amen.”My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them a few minutes later,with my head on the desk,I fell asleep.25.When the author was going over his lessons,all the others in the house were__.A.asleepB.outsideC.working in bedD.quietly laughing at him26.The underlined word“wretched”means_______.A.energeticB.disappointedC.unhappyD.hopeful27.What do you suppose happened to the author?A.He went to a church to pray again.B.He passed the exam by sheer luck.C.He failed in the exam.D.He was punished by his teacher.28.The best title for the passage would be___.A.The night before the examinationB.Staying up all nightC.A lazy studentD.Going over my lessonsCThe Thanksgiving Day,the fourth Thursday in November,is coming in America. But do you know something about the annual(每年的)Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade(游行)in New York?There are thousands of bystanders(看热闹的人)and millions of television viewers. The Parade is as traditional as turkey.The year2016was the90th year of Macy’s parade.It featured15huge balloons in the shape of cartoon and pop culture characters, 1,200dancers and cheerleaders,900clowns(小丑),10marching bands and nearly 9,000workers,almost all of whom were volunteers.The floats(彩车)and balloons have been getting larger,more colorful and more surprising since Macy’s immigrant(移民的)workers organized the first Thanksgiving Day Parade.In2016,school children were invited to the Macy’s parade studios(画室)outside New York City,for a first look at several just completed floats.Bella was excited to be there.“I think it’s great because I get to see all of these floats before anyone else does in the parade,”said Bella.John Piper is the president of Macy’s Studio.He said his work was fun all the time.“It’s a lot of work.All year long,the artists at Macy’s Studio all build these floats.We create them from scratch(涂抹).I have the finest carpenters(木匠),metal workers, painters all cooperating(合作)together,”said Piper.The floats were supposed to advertise for commercial sponsors(赞助商)for the start of the Christmas season.But Amy Kule,the event producer said,“And the floats are used to keep the beauty and the majesty(庄严)of the parade.A Thanksgiving parade is always about giving back and entertaining(娱乐).But most importantly,it’s about leaving it for the next generation.”29..What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a custom held each year.B.The way of celebrating Thanksgiving Day isn’t changed each year.C.There must be turkeys in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day ParadeD.Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is as important as turkey.30.Which of the following statements is Not true according to John Piper?A.It isn’t boring to create these floats.B.All the workers at Macy’s Studio work on the floats separately.C.The artists build the floats one year before the parade.D.It needs lots of work to build these floats.31.Which part of a website is the passage possibly taken from?A.travelB.cultureC.literatureD.artDHow many times a day do you check your WeChat(微信)or QQ?When you wake up?Before bed?A dozen times in between?The technology which was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time.The young people spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices(设备),with an extra hour just text-messaging friends.The advantage of technological devices is connection:we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history.But is it possible that we’re lonelier than ever?That’s what professor Sherry Turkle observes （观察）in her new book,Alone Together,which clearly describes our changing relationship with technology.For Turkle,technology isn’t offering us the lives we want to live.“We’re texting people at a distance,”says Turkle,“We’re using lifeless objects(物体)to convince(使确信)ourselves that even when we’re alone,we feel together.And then when we’re with each other,we put ourselves in situations where we are alone---always on our mobile。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分: 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMaking friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.Joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someo ne you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.1. The best topic of the passage may be ________.A. FriendshipB. Making friendsC. Meeting New PeopleD. Facing the Unknown2. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Making friends needs practicing.B. Making friends needs to be more active in getting in touch with people.C. When meeting someone, make him feel nice and easy.D. Before making friends with someone, judge him if he’s too this or too that.3. The development of friendship needs ________.A. a lot of moneyB. lots of conversationC. time and effortD. carefully judgingBWell, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard.I don’t really understand how it happened, but I heard someone yell out, but t hen my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea.I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate—and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. They covered me with as much dryclothes as they could, and a guy with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.4. The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ________.A. the wind was too strongB. the wave hit the boatC. the safety belt was brokenD. his boat was in the darkness5. He was not saved by his crew because ________.A. he didn’t yell out “Help!”B. 300 meters was long distanceC. he was not foundD. he didn’t see the spotlight6. It was inferred from the passage that ________.A. he was swept overboard at about midnightB. Wild One was the name of a crew memberC. he started ocean racing at about tenD. he was too hopeless to take the last chance7. One of the guy who saved him stayed with him in order to ________.A. cover him with more dry clothesB. warm him with his body heatC. comfort himD. congratulate himCAustralia is famous for its beautiful beaches. And Australian people love swimming and going to the beach. But it wasn't always that way.Different Climate, Different habitsWhen Europeans first invaded Australia, the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. Also some people worried that they would get sick if they wet their whole body.However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. At first, only men swam. They swam naked - there were no women to see them.Cover up!By the 1880’s and 90’s visiting the beach was very fashionable and a lot of people went there, especially in warm weather. They wore everyday street clothes - much more than people wear at the beach today.In those days, people believed they should cover most of their body so it would not be seen by the opposite sex. Special bathing costumes were designed for women. These costumes used a lot of cloth and were very heavy when wet, making it difficult to swim.Laws Made and Laws ChangedThe government decided to stop men swimming naked. It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6am and 7pm. Many people objected to this law and wrote letters to the government asking it to change the laws. In 1903, the laws changed; people could swim in the daytime, but they had to wear neck-to-knee costumes.The Shrinking CostumeAs time passed, swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient.At first men and women were covered from neck to knee. Then the arms became bare. Then more of the legs were uncovered. Each new change was regarded by many as shocking and rude and people wrote letters to the newspapers complaining about the new costumes. Nowadays some people go to special "nude (裸的) beaches" to swim naked.However, most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years ago -- not because they think bare skin is shocking -- but to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.8．The climate of Australia _____.A.made European setters think differently about swimmingB.change European setters’ swimming costumeC.made European setters hotterD.made European setters swim naked9．During the late 19th century, swimmers should _____.A.hide when they see a person of the opposite sexB.cover their bodiesC, wear many heavy clothes D.take no notice of their clothes10．According to the law just before1903, people must _____.A.not swim in the main daylight hoursB.only swim between 6am and 7pmC. have a bath at 6am and 7pmD.swim with neck-to-knee costumes between6am and 7pm11．The last paragraph of the passage states that _____.A.people worry about getting skin cancer from too much sunB.people protect their ten-year-old sons from bare skinC.people are shocked by the sunD.people think it rude to swim with the smaller costumesDChina, known as the “kingdom of bicycle”, will see a quick growth in electric bicycle production in the next five years thanks to the country’s efforts to save energy and improve the environment.The output of electric bikes is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of at least 80 percent in the coming five years. China will churn out 30 million electricity-driven bikes in 2010, compared to 9 million bikes last year, according to a report from the Development Research Center under the State Council and other ministries such as the National Development and Reform Commission.The central government wants to reduce the amount of energy consumption (消耗) by as much as 20 percent within the next five years. That would be achieved through the introduction of new sources of energy and encouraging people to save energy, China Daily reported.The smoke from car exhausts (尾气) is a major cause of pollution darkening the sky in Chinese cities, especially Beijing. Industrial experts on Monday, called on the government to come up with more preferential (优先的) measures to spread the use of electric bikes in China.Electric bike production in China accounts for about 90 percent of the world’s total, making China the world’s biggest producer, consumer and exporter of the energy-efficient vehicle, the report indicated. The country last year sold about 3 million electric bikes to foreign countries, a figure expected to double to 6 million in five years. By 2010, the production value of the electric bike industry in China is expected to be 70 billion Yuan (8.6 billion US dollars), almost four times the current level.12. Why will there be a quick growth in electric bicycle production in the next fiveyears in China?A. Because electric bicycles can save the consumer more money.B. Because the central government encourages people to save energy.C. Because most people in China can’t afford cars.D. Because the Chinese government limits the development of bicycle production.13.
