My friend,David，kept birds.One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week.He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.Unfortunately,I forgot all about the birds until the night before David was going to return.What was worse,it was already dark when I arrived at his house.I soon found the key David gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door.I was getting hopeless.I kept thinking of what David would says when he came back.I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open.I found a barrel and pushed it under the window.As the barrel was very heavy,I made a lot of noise.But in the end,I managed to climb up and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me.I looked down and sa w a policeman and an old lady,one of David’s neighbors.“What are you doing up there?” asked the policeman.Feeling like a complete fool,I replied,“I was just going to feed Mr.David’s birds.”

A
To face the music
Like every language, American English is full of special expressions,phrases that come from the day-to-day 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 he’s planning to go to the concert.It is something far less pleasant,like being called in by your boss to explain w hy you did this and 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 w hat 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.As,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.
56.How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?
A.1.
B.2.
C.3.
D.4.
57.What’s the meaning of “to face the music”?
A.To face something far less pleasant.
B.To face the stage.
C.To face the back of one’s horse.
D.To face one’s leader.
58.Which of the following is a situation of facing the music?
A.When we are playing basketball.
B.When we are making a speech.
C.When we are having a party.
D.When we are talking with somebody.
59.The underlined word “hostile” means_________.
A.unfriendly
B.dislike
C.unkind
D.unnecessary
56.提示：细节题。

根据文章第三、四、五段的解释，可推知此题答案为C。

答案：C
57.提示：细节题。

根据文章第二段第二句“It is something far less pleasant”可推知此题答案为A。

答案：A
58.提示：推断题。

根据文章第三段的解释：演讲与演出一样，都要面对观众，可推知此题答案为B。

答案：B
59.提示：词义猜测题。

根据单词所在的语境“friendly or perhaps hostile,especially if he forgot his lines”说明hostile与friendly意义相反，从而可推知此题答案为A。

答案：A
B
CARDIFF,Wales Poets,singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition(传统)of storytelling.
“It might seem strange that people still want to listen in age of watching television,but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,” said David Ambrose,director of Beyond the Border,an international storytelling festival(节日)in Wales.
“Some of the tales,like those the Inuit from Canada,are thousand years old.So our storytellers have co me from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,”he said early this month.
Two Inuit women,both in their mid 60s,are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait,or throat singing,which has few words and much sound.Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings,forcing them to say little but listen attentively.
Ambrose started the festival in 1993,after several years of working with those reviving
(coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales.
“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions.And as all the Welsh are storytellers,it was in good hands here,” Ambrose said.
60.Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling_________.
A.will be more popular than TV
B.will be popular again
C.started in Wales
D.are in the hands of some old people
61.From the tales told by the Inuit,people can learn_________.
A.about their life as early as thousands of years ago
B.why they tell the stories in a throat singing way
C.how cold it has been where the Inuit live
D.how difficult it is to understand the Inuit
62.According to the writer,which of the following is NOT true?
A.Storytelling once stopped in Wales.
B.Storytelling has a long history in Wales.
C.Storytelling is always well received in Wales.
D.Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.
63.The underlined phrase “in good hands” means _________.
A.controlled by rich people
B.grasped by good storytellers
C.taken good care of
D.protected by kind people
60.提示：推断题。

根据“...but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again”可以推断这种讲故事的传统会再度受到欢迎。

答案：B
61.提示：细节题。

根据“Some of the tales,like those the Inuit from Canada,are thousand years old”可推知此题答案为A。

答案：A
62.提示：细节题。

文中说“Ambrose started the festival in 1993”，Ambrose 1993年创办了这个节，但并不等于说讲故事的传统1993年才恢复的，这是两码事。

故选D项。

答案：D
63.提示：词义猜测题。

从“as all the Welsh are storytellers”可以推断出in good hands 是“照顾得好或举办得好”的意思，故选C。

答案：C
C
THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire of England was the setting for two great novels(小说)of the 19th century.These were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.The youngest sister, Anne,was also a gifted novelist,and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.
Their father was Patrick Bronte,born in Ireland.He moved with his wife,Maria Bronte,and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820.Soon after,Mrs.Bronte and the two eldest children died,leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.Their brother Barnwell was born in 1817.Left to themselves,the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely self educated.Barnwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories.Charlotte,as a young girl,alone wrote 22 books,each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting.Therefore,they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor;Emily,Wuthering Heights;and Anne,Agnes Grey.After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商),but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book.(It was not published until 1859.)However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once;thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however,did not do so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights.They said it was too wild,too animal like.But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book,and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853.In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis(肺结核)as her sisters had.

A.Help him write stories.

Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily,his really great compositions did not come easily at all.They cost him a great deal of hard work.We know how often he wrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in the museums.He always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28,the worst difficulty came to him.He began to notice a strong sound in his ears.At first he paid little attention;but it grew worse,then he saw doctors,they gave him the worst news any musician can hear:he was going deaf.He was in despair,he was sure that he was going to die.
He went away to the country and from there he wrote a farewell letter to his brothers,in which he told them how he felt depressed.He longed to die,and said,“It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout,for I am deaf.Death come when you will,I shall meet you bravely.”
In fact,Beethoven did something braver than dying.He gathered his courage and went on writing music,though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly.He wrote his best music.The music he wrote was very different from any that he had composed before.At last he said,“I believe fate knocks on the door.”
