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。

Test 10One of the most important events in the modern Olympic Games is the Marathon (马拉松) race.The race __1__ one of the great events in Greek history.In 490 B．C.about 10,000 Greeks fought __2__ the Persian army at a place called Marathon.It is __3__ that the Persians were ten times as __4__ as the Greeks.But，__5__ the brave attack of the Greeks，the Persians were badly beaten and __6__ away from the plain of Marathon.When the Persians had run away，a soldier，__7__ was the most famous __8__ in Athens，was __9__ to carry the good news to the city __10__ full speed.Although he had fought through the battle and received many wounds，the soldier at once started off toward the __11__ city.It was twenty-six and a quarter miles __12__ the plain of Marathon to the Marketplace of Athens，__13__ the elders of Athens had gathered __14__ for news.He ran and ran __15__ hills and across plains.As he went on，his lips became dry and his breathing hard.But he thought of the __16__ of the people of Athens __17__ hearing the news，and he ran harder than ever.The elders of Athens heard a great shout and saw a soldier staggering (蹒跚)toward them.“Rejoice！Rejoice！We won！”gasped the soldier，and fell down __18__.In __19__ of this noble soldier and athlete，we have in the modern Olympic Games the Marathon race，__20__ the athletes run this same distance.1．A.came from B．came aboutC．came out D．came round2．A.in B．againstC．for D．with3．A.known B．reportedC．told D．said4．A.many B．fewC．little D．much5．A.in B．withC．by D．because6．A.taken B．madeC．got D．driven7．A.which B．whomC．whose D．who8．A.player B．runnerC．soldier D．officer9．A.advised B．askedC．ordered D．allowed10．A.in B．byC．on D．at11．A.far B．distantC．away D．off12．A.to B．fromC．in D．at13．A.where B．thereC．here D．when14．A.waiting B．callingC．asking D．looking15．A.above B．acrossC．through D．over16．A.sadness B．joyC．anger D．surprise17．A.on B．inC．from D．with18．A.dead B．deathC．died D．dying19．A.remember B．frontC．honour D．hope20．A.by which B．from whichC．through which D．in which“I THIRST”Each day，water-related diseases kill 3,900 of the world’s children.Across the world 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water.More than 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备)．The combination proves deadly.Each year，diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world.Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate，inequality between men and women，and poverty.Consider these facts：·The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.·Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water，and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.·Each year in India alone,73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.Here are three ways you can help：(1)Write CongressCurrent US foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen.Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.(2)Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany US religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects，working with partner organizations abroad.Simply put a single project by a US organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.(3)Support non-profit water organizationsNumerous US based non-profits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation.Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows，some organizations are large，others small-scale，some operate worldwide，others are devoted to certain areas in Africa，Asia，or Latin America.Support them generously.1．The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that ________.A．poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB．people have no access to clean drinking waterC．women’s rights are denied in some developing countriesD．safe drinking water should be a primary concern2．The intended readers of the passage are ________.A．AmericansB．overseas sponsorsC．CongressmenD．US-based water organizations3．The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ________.A．get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB．donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC．fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD．take joint action in support of some non-profit water organizations4．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A．A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.B．A list of non-profit water organizations to make contact with.C．Some ways to get financial aids from US Congress.D．A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.1．It is said that the Persians were ten times as many as the Greeks.(完形填空第二段) 据说(当时)波斯人比希腊人多十倍。
