AWhen you’re on the go, your best friend and resource can be your phone.

Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?A. In a geography textbookB. In a scienc e and technology magazineC. On a popular websiteD. In a business rep ortBTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York – he in computers, she in special edu cation. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It wa s the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lif e’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Ima gination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundatio n (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to ag e five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thoug ht, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we r etire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a r eminder.”Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on thedesk, Tim clicked on . The program ha d been opened up to partners who could take advantage of b ook and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books – reviewed each year by teachers, literacy speciali sts and Dollywood board members – included classics such a s Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like An na Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mot her of four, is more than grateful: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 2 00 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim.“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Libr ary?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.According to the text, Dollly Parton is .A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a best-selling authorWhy did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.CHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a son g you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the rela tionship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and rand omly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simpl y speak the words. They had the second group speak the wor ds to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian languag e for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language t ests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hu ngarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, s uch as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singer s came out on top. The people who learned these new Hunga rian words by singing them showed a higher overall performa nce. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned t he words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to lear n a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things whe n they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5. Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to l earn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s web site Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experiment al evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”8. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to .A. recall the pastB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the childh ood with the present9. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English10. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude thatA. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language le arners sing the words.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.11. In which situation can the finding of the research be applie d?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.DIn my generation, most people assume. We assume that after getting a driver’s license, we should see a brand new car sitti ng in our driveway. We assume that the latest iPhone product should be in our hands as soon as something goes wrong wit h our old one. We also assume that college, being as expensi ve as it is, is given. However, what we don’t realize is that all of these things are very special privileges.New cars, the latest technology and college fees are somethi ng that most people have in the place where I live. I’m not necessarily complaining about this. I live in a very fortunate area, and I try to remind myself of that every day.Getting nice things is great, but sometimes, the competition th at rules our lives gets too fierce. When someone else gets so mething great, you begin to think, “Why can’t I have that?” Wh en everyone around you goes to college, you think that one d ay you will obviously do the same, because who doesn’t? Even now, being almost done with my first year of college, I c onstantly see people who forget why we’re here, and how luc ky we are to be on this campus. All of the distractions can sur ely keep you from doing your best, and they can easily make you forget your real purpose at college. The parties, friends, e vents, and overall social life can move you into a never-ending whirlpool (旋涡）of not doing schoolwork. Having fun is a part of life, but balan ce is the key when it comes to college.Appreciation nowadays is slowly fading into a distant thought. We constantly forget how lucky we are to have the things and the life that we do. Surely, who doesn’t dream of a new car w aiting for them, or that brand new iPhone that you see in all of the commercials? But wanting something is different from ex pecting it. Setting yourself up with an “I should get this” attitud e will only push appreciation further away.Appreciate what you have, but don’t expect what you don’t ha ve. Say thank you to those who help and support you, and rea lize that whoever you are, you’re lucky in a great way.12. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Assuming should be forbidden.B. People of his generation are lazy.C. What we have may be privileges.D. College education shouldn’t be expensive.13. What do we know about the author?A. He is too poor to afford a new car.B. He is sure that everyone can go to college.C. He is a fortunate second-year student.D. He is grateful for his college education.14. What does the author think of the social activities at colleg e?A. They should be balanced in students’ life.B. They are totally a waste of time and money.C. They make students confused about their life.D. They are useful for students after graduation.15. According to the fifth paragraph, people nowadays .A. don’t expect new cars or cell phonesB. don’t seem to appreciate what they haveC. always set up big goals in lifeD. often complain they are unlucky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。
