Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
The first Europeans came to America in 1492 with Christopher Columbus. Since that time people have come to America from all over the world, from Europe, Africa, and Asia, and they have brought their music with them. This mixing of people and music has created American music.
Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving, and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth.
Others remind of the people they love. Many important occasions, like weddings and funerals have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American “The Star­Spangled Banner”. In the US high schools and colleges have school songs too.
Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people. As the years pass, the music grows and changes.
Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders, and videos have changed the way we play and
listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of international communication.
American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”，is known around the world. Music is one of America's most important exports. It brings the people of the world together. Even when people cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music. Many people learn and practise English by singing song. Understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture.
So, as the song says, “put a dime (10 cents)in the juke box (自动点唱机), baby. Let's listen to the music！”

一样由此段可判断B，D项是错误的。

B
A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was
running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.
Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.
She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.
“This year has been depressing，”said Lennon. “I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”
Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.
6．It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.
A．Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed B．Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cab C．Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driver D．Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City
答案：B 推理判断题。

按照第二段第二句“The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company...and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be
kidding.”说明他对出租汽车公司和司机的情况一概不知，以为警察这样问他简直是在开玩笑。

7．The policewoman told Lennon________.
A．not to worry about the guitar
B．to have a nice day in New York City
C．to find the cab driver and talk to him
D．to wait with patience
答案：D 推理判断题。

按照第三段第三句“...finding the guitar might take a couple of years.”说明警察以为寻觅这把吉他会很难，可能需要几年时间，因此他得耐心等待。

选项A“不要着急这把吉他”不符合警察的本意和事实；B“祝他在纽约市玩得愉快”，原文中这是警察对他的安慰和祝愿，不是事情的最重要内容；C“去找出租车司机跟他谈一下”这显然不可能，只有D“耐心等待”符合警察的本意。

8．Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?
A．Finding a lost guitar. B．Finding the cab driver.
C．Finding murderers. D．Enjoying one's own life
答案：C 细节题。

按照第三段“...finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers....”说明在警观察来寻觅杀人犯比寻觅吉他(固然和其他任何事相较都)更重要。

9．The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．A．making people feel sad
B．making people unfortunate
C．making people losing money
D．making people losing good luck
答案：A 词义理解题。

按照第四段第二句“I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And....”可推测出Lennon度过了一年很痛苦的日子，主如果丢掉了心爱的吉他和由于此事给他带来的各种事业中的不顺畅，因此可推测出depressing在这种的意思相当于making people feel sad。

Ⅳ.短文填空
按照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. __1__.
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheep up! __2__. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. __3__. Don't talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. __4__. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person­to­person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? __5__.
A．It doesn't have to be that bad.
B．Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C．This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
D．Say what you have to say and then stop.
E．Don't say what you aren't familiar with.

参考范文：
Words are the basis of the language, so without enough English words, we have much difficulty in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Having a large vocabulary is very important and necessary.
In our study, we find it difficult to enlarge our vocabulary, for we easily forget the words we have learned. Besides，in the past I didn't pay much attention to word study, especially to word spelling, thinking there is no word test. But now I come to know the importance of words. I will spend more time studying them. In addition, I will strengthen the intensive reading, studying the words in the contexts to improve my English.。
