第二部分 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。
A
To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
21. What does the writer say more about in the text?
A. Life full of music.
B. The importance of music.
C. Life without music.
D. The development of music.
22. From the text, we learn that many people________.
A. go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B. get along quite well without music
C. don't realize the importance of music
D. think music would be less exciting than films
23. From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.
A. is very necessary for our everyday life
B. is very important, especially for children
C. can make our life exciting and dramatic
D. can enter another beautiful world

B
One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I was approaching my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I thought that he would ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: “Your car is very nice”.
After several moments of silence, I replied: “Thanks”, and then the inner voice told me, “Ask him if he needs help”. After a short hesitation(犹豫) I asked him if he needed any help. His response was astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: —“Don’t we all?”
It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.
Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money we have, we all need help. On the other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others, you still might be giving. Even it’s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other persons.
Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me to open my eyes, to show me that there is one thing, among all other values, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.
24. The underlined word “bum” in Paragraph 1 can be a person _______.
A. who needs money
B. who is a homeless man
C. who is willing to help others
D. who is sent by the Highest Loving Power
25. Why did the writer give enough money to the man?
A. The writer had enough money to help.
B. He needed money to eat and have a rest.
C. His words gave the writer deep thoughts.
D. The writer is kind and always helps others.
26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Not everyone needs help.
B. Giving is as important as receiving.
C The rich should help the poor.
D. A helping and touching word can help others.
27. What did the writer probably get from the man?
A. True meaning of giving.
B. True meaning of being rich.
C. True meaning of values
D. True meaning of gifts

C
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sport. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
28. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?

It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz．A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human being in a project．
Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot．To start with，the Telenoid will be trained to imitate(模仿)the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer，and then connect music with different human emotions．
Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things．But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections．The Telenoid is of this kind．“This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating，”says Philippe Pasquier．A musician needs a physical body．
Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge．“Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles，a famous band．However，what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs，”he says．
It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way．But by imitating humans，the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information．What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own．So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first．
32. What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?
A. Communicate with human beings．
B. Connect music with human emotions．
C. Live and work comfortably with human beings．
D.Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer．

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to manage your time
For many high school students it seems that there is never enough time. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
First, make a to-do list every day. It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities(优先的事物). 36
Use spare time wisely. Do you have time for self-study? Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 37 If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.
Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. Review your notes every day. 38 If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
39 Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory. When you are tired, everything seems more difficult. It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.
Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you. 40 you can call your friends later.
A. Set goals for yourself.
B. Get a good night’s sleep.
C. Do the most important tasks first.
D. Also, do not be afraid to say “no”.
E. You should finish your task on time.
F. Don’t take phone calls during the time you set aside for work.
G. Don’t wait until just before a test to try and remember everything.
