W: No, what's happened?
M: They've moved. They'd been living in their new house for only two months, when they decided they couldn't stand it any longer.
W: Why?
M: Well, you know the airport was very near. They couldn't sleep because of the noise from the planes. Mr. Brown had been taking sleeping pills every night, until the doctor told him that he shouldn't.

Text 8
M: It seems that quite a number of restaurants serve foreign food.
W: Yes, American, French and Italian foods are quite popular in China.
M: Maybe China's opening to the outside has helped to change your diet and taste.
W: Maybe. But foreign food is high in fat, sugar and salt. They're not good for people's health. Are there any Chinese restaurants in your hometown?
M: Plenty. The meals are very good. Many westerners like Chinese food.
W: Most of the Chinese people like vegetables and fruit because they're rich in fibre and low in sugar and fat. I think a healthy diet should contain some fat, some fibre and a little salt.
M: You're right. Westerners eat too much fat and sugar. That's why many of them become fat.

Text 10
In your school bags most of you may have pencils, some kinds of pens, a ruler and books. None of these things grows in the field, right?
They were all made in factories and invented by someone. There have not always been pencils and pens, rulers and books. Thousands of years ago no one knew about these things. Who invented them? We don't always know. There have been many thousands of inventions, large and small, in the human history. Some of these inventions have changed the world, such as paper, printing and radio, and we know the inventors. But we have forgotten most of the other inventors. Who invented the clock, for example, or the lock to the door? We don't know. There have been thousands of inventors and we should thank for their clever ideas. Will you be one of them when you grow up?
其次部分 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。
A
Have you ever seen a Kunqu Opera, or heard the beautiful sound of a Guqin? These two traditional Chinese art forms are both included in UNESCO's list of “oral and intangible heritage of humanity( 人类口头和非物质文化遗产)” .
This year, China has selected another art form to compete to join this special group. Muqam (木卡姆), the traditional folk music of Xinjiang's Uygur people will be considered alongside other countries' entries.
Known as the “mother of Uygur music,”Muqam has a long history. Some scholars believe that its origins can be traced back to the “Great Western Region Melody (西域大曲)”. This developed during the Han and Tang dynasties.
In the mid16th century,the Silk Road connected China and Europe. Xinjiang was at the centre of the cultural exchange between east and west. Muqam music was spread across Uygur populated areas during that time. The queen of Yarkant Kingdom, whose name was Amannisahan, was a poet and musician. She devoted all her efforts to collecting and sorting Muqam music. She finally worked out 12 pieces of music, which became the famous Twelve Muqam.
When doing her work, Amannisahan did not seek materials from the fully developed Arabian and Persian (波斯的) music. Instead, she exploited the rich resources of Uygur folk music that spread across the north and the south of the Tianshan Mountains. As a result, the Twelve Muqam has a strong Uygur flavor.
Ever since it spread among the Uygurs, the Twelve Muqam has played an important part in their lives. They sing songs and dance to the music. Kurban Mamut, editorinchief of a Uygur language magazine, says that he often listened to the Twelve Muqam when he was a child. “The Twelve Muqam helps bring moral ideas to the Uygur children, and gives them a noble and strong personality,” he said.
After New China was founded, the local government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region made every effort to preserve the Twelve Muqam. In_1960,_two_volumes_of_the_Twelve_Muqam
_were_published.
Over the past two decades, local Xinjiang cultural institutions have supported research projects. A number of books about the Twelve Muqam have been published. CDs,VCDs,and DVDs of The Twelve Muqam have also been made.
21.What's TRUE about Muqam?
A. It originates from the Great Western Region Melody.
B. It has always had a strong Uygur flavor.
C. It is traditional folk music developed from the music of Western Europe.
D. It is based on the Twelve Muqam of the queen of Yarkant Kingdom.
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。依据第三段“its origins can be traced back to the ‘Great Western Region Melody’”一句可知木卡姆起源于西域大曲。
22. What is the importance of the Twelve Muqam to Uygurs' lives?
A. It provides the Uygurs with songs and the music.
B. It helps provide moral support.
C. It becomes an oral cultural heritage.
D.It includes the rich resources of Uygur folk music.
答案与解析 B 推理推断题。依据第六段“The Twelve Muqam helps bring moral ideas to the Uygur children, and gives them a noble and strong personality”一句的意思:The Twelve Muqam能培育维吾尔孩子的道德品质,建立高尚、坚强的意志。由此推断可知。
23.In the last two paragraphs of the passage the writer describes ________.
A. the government's preservation to the Twelve Muqam
B. the great popularity of the Twelve Muqam in China
C. the reasons for joining the list of world cultural heritage
D.the necessity of books and disks on the Twelve Muqam
答案与解析 A 段落大意题。在文章的最终两段中,作者提到了如下几点:“Two volumes were published; research projects have been done; A number of books have been published; CDs, VCDs, and DVDs have been made.”全部这些都可归结为一点,即对the Twelve Muqam的爱护。
24.The sentence in the last but one paragraph means the following EXCEPT________.
A. promoting the culture of ethnic minority
B. preserving the culture of ethnic minority better
C. protecting the culture of ethnic minority
D. preventing the culture of ethnic minority passing
答案与解析 D 推理推断题。在1960年将木卡姆十二首乐曲印制成两册是更好地爱护、保存和推广少数民族的文化,而不是制止它的流传。
B
To Face the Music
Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the daytoday life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music”.
When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to face the music.” It does not mean that he's planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or did that, and why you didn't do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father's angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it's time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” come to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”
Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?
Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.
25.How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” come from?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
答案与解析 C 细节推断题。依据文章第三段中“The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper.”和第四段中“Other explanations about the expression go back to the army.” 以及第五段中“Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility ...”的这些句子可推断出答案。
26.What's the meaning of “to face the music”?
A. To face the stage.
B. To face the back of one's horse.
C. To face one's leader.
D. To face something far less pleasant.
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。由其次段中对短语的解释“It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or did that, and why you didn't do this or that.”可知答案。
27.Which of the following is a situation of facing the music?
A. When we are playing basketball in the school field.
B. When we are making a speech before masses of people.
C. When we are having a party at ease with our teachers.
D. When we are talking with somebody in secret.
答案与解析 B 理解推断题。依据其次段中对to face the music的理解可知“在很多人面前做报告”是件比较难的事情。
28.We can infer from the text that________.
A. many special expressions come out of people's lives and activities
B. there are just a few expressions like “to face the music” in English
C. English people don't like to make special expressions like “to face the music”
D. English people always like to make special expressions
答案与解析 A 理解推断题。依据文章第一句“Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the daytoday life of the people and develop in their own way.” 及其他几段的叙述可知“很多特殊的表达都来自人们的生活和活动”。
C
No other band has had the same influence
