( A )
The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching，and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view？”I shook my head stubbornly－and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday，but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book，but no one could see me immediately. Finally，at about lunchtime，I got lucky.
“If you come by right now，”the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office，I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice­cold one.
When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently.
“Come on，he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork，”the assistant said.
“The artwork？”I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture，right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was！At that moment，I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!
21．Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?
A．Cheerful. B．Nervous. C．Satisfied. D．Upset.
22．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A．The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B．The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C．The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D．The laughing assistant of the dentist.
23．What did the author learn from her experience most probably?
A．Strike while the iron is hot.
B．Have a good word for one’s friend.
C．Put oneself in others’ shoes.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
(B)
For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify识别 with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation隔离. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
24.Which of the following is true of amusics?
A．Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.
B．They love places where they are likely to hear music.
C．They can easily tell two different songs apart.
D．Their situation is well understood by musicians.
25. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably
one who __________.
A．dislikes listening to speeches
B．can hear anything nonmusical
C．has a hearing problem
D．lacks a complex hearing system
26. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.
A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
B．she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
C．her problem could be easily explained
D．she were able to meet other amusics
27.What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A．Amusics’ strange behaviours.
B．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
C．Musical talent and brain structure.
D．Identification and treatment of amusics.
(C)
Finally, a cell phone
That's… a phone
With rates as low as $3.75 per week !
"Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing and expensive… and the contract (合同)lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. "
Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订)!
Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I' m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won 't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign, so I m not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the
meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 31 Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human
beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 32 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. 33 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering
the shoulders. 34 Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes.
They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels松鼠.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human
behavior——by taking part in a cultural community. 35
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
D. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.
E. These children were the ghosts described by the local people.
F. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.
G. They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior
through their membership in a certain cultural community.
