21．（6分）Have you ever thought of quitting your job when you feel exhausted? Maybe mos t of you would say “yes”. After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.
Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him.”
Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.
So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. I’ve noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. I’ve met new people, started conversation s with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.
Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.

because .
A．it didn’t work properly B．it was stolen from someone else

A．are too expensive for many people
B．are of no use to the author
C．can also get people into trouble
D．can make life more interesting
3、What can we learn about the author?
A．He wants to own a garden now.
B．He always chatted with his neighbors.
C．He used to take his cell phone when going outside.
D．He once threw away his cell phone.
4、The main purpose of the passage is to .
A．tell us not to let cell phones control our lives
B．encourage others to hike with him in France
C．share his experiences in France with us
D．teach us how to get along with neighbors
22．（8分）Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed Lady Day by her loyal friend and musical partner, Lester Young, Holiday had a great influence on jazz and pop singing. Her voiced style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of controlling tempo (节奏). Above all, she was admired for her deeply personal and direct approach to singing.
She co-wrote a few songs, and several of them have become jazz standards, notably God Bless the Child, Don’t Explain, and Lady Sings the Blues. She also became famous for singing jazz standards written by others, including Easy Living and Strange Fruit.
Her early career is hard to track down with accuracy. But she later gained work singing in local jazz clubs before being spotted by a talent scout (星探), John Hammond in 1933.
Her voice and recordings were loved for the depth of emotion and intensity she could bring to classic standards. Her range of voice was not the greatest, but her extraordinary low rough voice was soon to become very famous and influential.
She was an important icon (偶像) of the jazz era and influential in the development of jazz singing. In the late 1930s, she began singing a civil rights song called Strange
Fruit, a song which told the tale of a lynching (用私刑处死) of a black man in the Deep South. It was very controversial for that period and it was not played on radios. It was recorded for Commodore Records and she performed it many times over the next 20 years.
Billie Holiday had a difficult upbringing which influenced her attitude toward life. She experienced many violent relationships. She also became increasingly dependent on various drugs which contributed to her early death in 1959, aged just 44.
1、What made Holiday develop a new way of controlling tempo?
A．Her musical partner. B．Her voiced style.
C．Jazz instrumentalists. D．Her direct approach to singing.
2、Why was the song Strange Fruit banned on radios?
A．It was about a cruel story. B．It was recorded very badly.
C．It concerned civil rights. D．It was performed many times.
3、It can be learned from the text that Holiday _____.
A．had the greatest range of voice
B．was gifted and had a happy childhood
C．wrote a few songs including Easy Living
D．was famous for her voice and way of singing
4、Which of the following had a great effect on Holiday?

d. Her hard experiences of growing
A．a, b, c B．a, b, d
C．a, c, d D．b, c, d
23．（8分）Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around the world in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.
Belgium
In a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(个别的) clay sculptures, one for each person killed during the World War. In the center of the

UK
In a small town called Aldridge, almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000 poppies and statues of soldiers. They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in 1915. They made people think of fields of blood.
France
The British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille, a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home.

24．（8分）Four teenage girls from Minnesota, US. 120 hours of non-stop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruel le of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”
Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day
before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks(吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets(手镯) and talking.”
The girls all had some experience in the outdoors before.
Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology,” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years back. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge,” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching u p with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”

3、What can we know about the girls from the story?
A．They had not got any camping experience before.
B．They all felt refreshed after the adventure journey.
C．They enriched their learning experiences by exploring.
D．They used to keep in close touch with their friends by phone.
25．（10分）Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced. She had three kids under age 7, and
was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I don’t know how I’m going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.
But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.
How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.
Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.”
So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onst age and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”
Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”
1、What is the first paragraph mainly about?

B．Mangano’s work experience.
C．Mangano’s unhappy marriage.
D．Mangano’s hard living conditions.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Mike,
I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me last week. I have been thinking about the question you asked me. From my point of view, you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies for the following reasons.
For one reason, Chinese development has offered quantities of job opportunities for the young over the past 30 years. What’s more, what you are stud ying is badly needed in China. As a matter of fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. For another reason, China is a country with so many different cultures and
traditions from the west that many foreigners enjoy living and working here. I am sure you will adapt to the environment quickly and enjoy your stay here.
If you come, I will do what I can to help you.
Best wishes.
Yours truly,
Li Hua。
