吉林省临江一中2014-2015学年高二英语上学期期中试题

12013--2014学年度上学期高二期中考试英语测试试卷注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）请修改第I 卷的文字说明一、补全短文1. _1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life. The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these charactertraits becomes your life purpose.__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.A．Young people have a different set of values.B．You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.C．Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.D．Your being values are the character traits （特征，特点）of the ideal person you would like to be.E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 11. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 3Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to2act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.Wait for opportunities to appearSeize the moment to act on your goalsHere are things successful people do differentlyNext I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve su ccessYou don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful oneCheck your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalKnowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第II卷（非选择题）二、单项选择3. --Who should be responsible for the accident?--The boss,not the workers.They just carried out the order___________.A.as toldB.as are toldC.as tellingD.as they told4.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 ,when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzinga problem.4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bic ycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to8a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 2 a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 3 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I 4 you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept 5 for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly l eft that house, he not only felt stronger 6 , but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and 7 before this point. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The 8 doctors were baffled (阻挡). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her 9 disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 10 was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a(an) 11 light filled his eyes. 12 , he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He 13 her at once. He went back to the 14 room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special 15 to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was 16 . Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then 17 something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was 18 to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill 19 her attention.

They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（经文）are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）. Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind. Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.A. colorsB. stylesC. materialsD. functions2. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-house flags were flying.163. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.A. a historical eventB. an ancient customC. a religious taleD. a vehicle accident4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-house flags are safer there.B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an upcoming mist ake so we don’t repeat it. Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown. “It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our successes,” said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist at the University of Exeter, “but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to he lp us avoid repeating err ors.”The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a computer screen. Then, they were given new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. “By monitoring activity in the brain as it occurs, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism c omes into action,” Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the computer screen — within 0.1 seconds — before there was time for any conscious consideration.Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes （额叶）, which are associated with complex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an “early warning signal” from a lower region of the brain.171. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.B. Brain manages information in different ways.C. Study has found why people make mistakes.D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.2. The underlined word “conducive” in Para. 2 probably means “______”.A. necessaryB. helpfulC. particularD. harmful3. According to the text, the frontal lobes ______.A. prevent us from making repeated mistakesB. oversee thought processes in the brainC. have nothing to do with making mistakesD. have something to do with processing conscious information4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.A. the volunteers’ brain is in good healthB. the mistake first impresses the volunteersC. many of the volunteers predict wronglyD. information is showed on a computer screen5. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the text?A. We have known how quickly our brains work to help us avoid repeating mistakes.B. It’s well known that mistakes benefit us more than successes do.C. Mistakes are always recognized before conscious consideration.D. A lower region of the brain is the reporter of possible mistakes.27. The year 2009 is the Year of Ox. The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China. In the farming economy (经济), oxen are the major animals pulling plows (犁)．Of course, the good of oxen is not limited to plowing. In fact, they are seen as “boats_on_land” for their ability to carry loads. Besides, the whole body of an ox is full of treasures. Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition, and their skin can be used to make clothes18。

From Monday to Saturday, the paper has about 75 pages, of w hich 20 pages are advertisements. It normally has 5 sections w hich are called Nation, Sports, Metro(大都会), Living and Business.Nation is national news mostly with some international news ab out earthquakes, floods, and tensions(紧张)around the world. Sports cover the professional sports in sea son, college sports, and high school sports. Metro is local news of the city of which includes political stories, crimes, and good neighbor articles. Living is the section with television programs, movies, comics, music, stories about pets, and advice.

The advertising sectio n includes apartments and houses, employment opportunities a nd items to buy, especially cars and trucks.On Sunday, the paper is very large weighing more than two kilos. There are additional sections called Art, Books, International, and Travel. Since this is the day most Americans do not work, t hey have more time for reading.

Blowing it a t this stage, you won’t get a chance to persuade them in person , no matter how good you are. Each company or organization u sually uses its own specially designed form that, although it gen erally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. S o the suggestions below will help you to know what to do rather than what you should write.Prepare your personal data record in advance. When visiting fut ure employers, always carry it with you so that you can readily s earch for details such as dates, telephone, numbers and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing-write not only carefully but also neatly.Use words that describe each job you have held as fully as pos sible rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvemen t(参与) in the community or in the activities in which you held a teac hing or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that ask s you to say how your education and past experience have esp ecially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what y ou say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to explain how the position fits your overall career plan. Follow these suggestions and you can get your foot in the door of a great future!Title: How to Fill in_____71_______Section B (10 marks)My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the bac k of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year h e even tried pumpkin. The pumpkins did turn out well.As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after th e garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My gr andfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fen ce and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even high er. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me .The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Ever y year as soon as the tomato plants bloomed, I would ask my gr andfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “Not yet.”I would ask the next week, “ Can we pick them yet?”He would answer, “Not yet.”Finally, I would be sure that they were ripe(成熟的). When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “Can we pick them now?”He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think th e garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessings wit h those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would giv e some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My gr andfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could al ways see the pride on his face when everything was complete.81.

The group’s position was approved by some experts.“There is very little one can do in order to increase the chanc e of having a healthy brain when you get old,” said Dr. Hans F orstl, who has studied boxing injuries.“ One of the best things you can do is avoid boxing.” He said .According to the new statement, published in the journal Ped iatrics, information from Canada shows a rise in boxing injurie s over the past decade.Pat Russo, a retired police officer who runs a boxing gym in Brooklyn, New York, said injuries are rare in amateur boxing. After 26 years and training thousands of kids, he has seen jus t one split lip among his students.“ If the gym is run properly, injuries are at an absolute minim um,” Russo said. “Football is ten times more dangerous. Whil e tennis or football might also help kids gain confidence, boxin g holds a special attraction for children in poor neighborhoods , because it allows them to act tough while in trouble.”Dr. Robert Cantu, a surgeon (外科医生) at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, said AA P’s attitude makes sense for upper-class and middle-class kids.“ Clearly boxing is safer today than it was 20 or 30 years ago , but it is still a very risky activity,” he said.“For kids in poor areas, however, the situation is different,” s aid Cantu. “ The most dangerous thing for the majority of peo ple in boxing is just where they live. They are far safer in the ri ng (拳击场), even taking blows to the head, than they are out in the ne ighborhood.”61. The statement released by AAP was ___________.A approved by Pat RussoB focused on professionalboxingC based on Dr. Hans Forstl’s researchD strongly against boxing for children62.

Fill in the numbered b lanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MO RE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they are n’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eatin g habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual tim e of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Eve n as children grow up and start going to school, parents some times give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhapp y. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they ha ve the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the sn ack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eatin g, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child ever y day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home , etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit.And always remember love and care is the key to help your c hild out of trouble and grow up happily.Title: 71 in Young Children第三节回答问题（共4小题；满分10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I remember a day 17 years ago quite well．That day，our twin sons，Chad and Brad, loaded their car and left home to go to colleg e．I realized that our dinner table would soon become a “tabl e for two”. Sure，the boys would come home on the weekends, but even so, I k new our family life would never be exactly the same again． Before leaving, the boys walked around each room of the ho use to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything they needed. We all walked outside．Chad and Brad gave me big hugs an d quickly got into their car． I waved as they drove away．Wh en I couldn’t see their car any longer，I began to sob. My husband Roy tried to comfort me, but I cou ld see grief in his eyes, as well．There are many parents who would experience this period ．Bittersweet feeling will be present．While the parents feel pride and joy for their children，they will also feel a sense of grief．Painful moments fill their minds．While I can not adequately explain the feelings，I can still remember how I felt when we began that new chapt er in our lives．As time went on，Roy and I are now accustomed to our table for two and we enj oy our lives together．As an added bonus，“dinner for two” is much more affordable than dinner out for a n entire family．I have to admit I still miss our children and th e old times we had together． But I have to say I enjoy the ti me I spend with my husband more than ever before．Roy and I have always enjoyed each other's company，but after the children went to college，we found a great amount of strength in each other．Some thi ngs have changed over the years．Our love for one another h as grown stronger with each passing day．Together，Roy and I are now doing things we never dreamed possible．Our children oftentimes talk about how we are busier and hap pier than we have ever been before． Could it be because we fell deeper in love as we spent quality time together at our ta ble for two?81. When was the writer's family life changed according to thepassage?( No more than 7 words) （2 marks）82. Why did the two boys walk around each room before leavi ng home?(No more than10 words) （2 marks）83.

Horror gripped (紧抓) Jim‟s heart becaus e he saw that his lifelong friend was left behind in a trench (战壕). Continuous gunfire whizzed over his head. Jim asked the lieutenant(中尉) if he might go out into the “no-man‟s-land” between the trenches to bring his fallen friend back.“You can go,” said the lieutenant, “but I don‟t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away.” Jim looked up. Continuous gunfire was still whizzing over his head, but he had made up his mind. He went out of the trench and moved towards his fallen friend slowly. Amazingly, he managed to reach his friend, put him onto his shoulders and bring him back to their company‟s trench. As the two got to the bottom of the trench, the lieutenant checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at Jim.“I told you it wouldn‟t be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead and you got shot. You may die, too.” “It was worth it, though, Sir,” said Jim. The lieutenant was confused and asked, “What do you mean? Your friend is dead.” “Yes, Sir,” Jim answered, “but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him saying, …Jim…, I knew you‟d come.‟”How many times have you given up doing something just because someonetells you it is not worth it? If you don‟t try it, how do you know it is not worth it?1. After Jim saw his friend was left behind, he decided to .A. ask the lieutenant for helpB. hide in the trench for his safetyC. kill the enemies to save his friendD. bring his friend back to the trench2. What was the lieutenant‟s attitude towards Jim‟s decision?A. Moved.B. Worried.C. Supportive.D. Uninterested.3. What happened to Jim in the end?A. He never came back.B. He was shot in the legs.C. He was seriously wounded.D. He died soon after he came back.4. By telling the story, the author wants to .A. encourage us to treasure our friends around usB. tell us wars can destroy many important thingsC. encourage us to do what we think is worth doingD. tell us t hat some people‟s advice doesn‟t matter at allBArt classes about animals & wildlifeAll Creatures Large and SmallAnimals bring something special to our life and give us inspiration for paintings that we will treasure.

Peter van DyckCGuilford County Schools‟ oldest volunteer, 97-year-old Thurman Haynes, has been chosen as the national winner in the Salute to Senior Service Competition, sponsored (赞助) by Home Instead.Haynes, a daily volunteer at Haynes-Inman Education Center in Jamestown, was selected from thousands of nominees (被提名者). “Thurman Haynes reminds us all how important it is to celebrate life on a daily basis,” said Kevin Carr in his nomination. “His love he gives others is amazing.”Haynes has been involved with the school from the start. He sold the school system the land on which Haynes-Inman was built. He can see the school from his home. The school, which opened in August, 2010, educates special-needs students between the ages of 3 and 22. And Haynes knows something about that, too.His only grandchild, Meredith, had mental and physical disabilities. She died in 1993 shortly before her 21st birthday. The school is named in part for her, the Meredith Leigh Haynes-Bennie Lee Inman Education Center. In her honor, he volunteers more than 80 hours per month at the school.He is often one of the first to arrive and greet students each school day. He assists them off the bus and ensures they arrive at class safely. Haynes also lends a hand during PE classes, helping students participate in volleyball, jump rope and other activities.The students and staff at Haynes-Inman held a parade in January in honor of Haynes‟ 97th birthday. “Haynes proves age is not important when it comes to making a positive difference to the lives of others,” said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead. Haynes is among the 62 percent of seniors 68 and older who take part in voluntary work, according to a recent Marist Poll sponsored by Home Instead.8. What is the main idea of the text?A. Thurman Haynes refuses to retire.B. A 97-year-old man is kind to others.C. More and more seniors do voluntary work.D. A 97-year-old volunteer wins a national award.9. Haynes got nominated probably because of .A. his age and education backgroundB. his excellent voluntary serviceC. his positive attitude towards lifeD. his long work hours per month10. How does Haynes help the special-needs students?A. He helps them rebuild their confidence.B. He drives them to school and back home.C. He teaches them patiently in PE classes.D. He treats them kindly with a heart of gold.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Jeff Huber was in charge of Haynes‟ birthday parade.B. The author calls on more seniors to do voluntary work.C. Volunteering can make the old people live a positive life.D. Many American seniors devote themselves to voluntary work.DPeople with different interests and preferences can enjoy themselves through hip-hop culture. It involvesspoken words, break-dancing, painting, fashion, lively design, technology and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists organize school programs, summer camps, and other activities aimed at engaging (使参与) city youth in the classroom through the beliefs in hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who were once strongly against hip-hop — have joined the group: in the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become an accepted field in universities and the subject of a lot of books.Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American culture and global culture. Teachers must be willing to engage in it because it‟s a part of their students‟ lives. In that way, teachers can truly be effective in teaching students.Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the cla ssroom and says, “I don‟t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it‟s your culture and I want to lear n,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator.Peer(同龄人) teaching has long been recognized as a powerful way for students to learn and gain confidence in their own abilities. It‟s also a useful way of approaching technology in the classroom, where students who love digital technology might know more than their teachers. Thus, teachers and students are put on a more equal basis, with more respect between them —developing an atmosphere where everyone has something to offer for a better educational process.12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Some teachers still dislike hip-hop culture.B. Hip-hop is the most influential music in the world.C. Hip-hop has become the center of people‟s daily life.D. Hip-hop culture becomes more popular in the education world.13. According to the text, young people prefer to learn from the teachers who .A. are fond of musicB. show respect for their cultureC. know nothing about their livesD. are willing to teach hip-hop culture14. What advice does the author offer teachers in the last paragraph?A. Paying more attention to students‟ interests.B. Involving students in teaching certain subjects.C. Admitting that students know more than teachers.D. Learning hip-hop culture with advanced technology.15. Where can we most probably read the text?A. In the education section of a magazine.B. In a book on how to learn technology.C. In a book on how to sing hip-hop songs.D. In the fashion section of a newspaper.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。
