Ⅴ. 阅读理解
To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plots and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it.
Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall; we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other. And，of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong. ”
1. What does the writer say more about in the text?
A. Life full of music.
B. Life without music.
C. The importance of music.
D. The development of music.
2. From the text, we learn that many people ________.
A. don't realize the importance of music
B. get along quite well without music
C. go to the concert instead of enjoying music
D. think music would be less exciting than films
3. What does the underlined word “melody” in the second paragraph mean in the text?
A. Flying.
B. Looking.
C. Singing.
D. Living.
4. From the last paragraph，we learn that music ________.
A. is very important, especially for children
B. is very necessary for our everyday life
C. can make our life exciting and dramatic
D. can enter into another beautiful world
Ⅵ. 语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Once upon a time, there lived a lazy man John Denny in a remote village. He would do 1.________ but daydream the whole day. One sunny afternoon, Denny was really hungry. 2.________(step) out of his hut, he said, “What a beautiful day! How I wish I 3.________(go) back to sleep!

I am a long distance runner. When I was thirty­one, I was in a serious car accident. The doctors told me that they would try to get me to walk “normally” but I would never run again—terrible news for someone who views running as the oxygen(氧气) she breathes. The doctors were right. For the next nine and a half years, I was unable to run more than twenty­five feet.
In 2006, I began self­training to take part in a 60­mile walk. Three months into preparing, I realized that walking 4～5 hours a day was too long. If only I could jog(慢跑) part of it—that would cost me less time. I started jogging without my knees aching. Slowly, I increased the distance. The doctor were proved wrong—it only took nine and a half years to do so.
While practising, I suffered a loss—a dear friend suddenly died. His work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential(潜力). He believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals. Soon after his death, a crazy thought entered my mind: What if I could run the LA Marathon? I knew that if I didn't train to my fullest, the doctor would win. So I trained seven days a week. And I succeeded in crossing the finish line of the LA Marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors. They never believed that I would achieve that.
The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept.
1. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?

C. She loved running very much.
D. She lost heart after the accident.
2. The author tried jogging because she wanted to ________.
A. save some time
B. protect her feet
C. get more exercise
D. catch up with others
3. Why did the author decide to join in the marathon?
A. Because she was so sorry for the loss of a friend.
B. Because she was encouraged by her dead friend's words.
C. Because she wanted to prove the doctors were wrong.
D. Because she wanted to make more friends.
4. What does the underlined word “astonishment” in Paragraph 3 mean?

After all of these years I can still remember my first moment of kindness. __1__ I walked in with my mum and was amazed at all the toys against the walls. It was like having my own tiny toy store. I smiled and immediately ran over to them and started to play. Most of the other kids were doing the same while the parents talked to the teacher before the start of the class.

I went back to play with the toy cars but after a minute looked up at her again. __3__ Something inside of my chest started to stir. I wasn't sure what it was. Being the youngest in my family I had become a bit spoiled(娇惯的). It felt strange then to be thinking of someone other than myself, yet I couldn't stop looking at that lonely, little girl. After a moment that stirring in my heart moved up to my mind and down to my feet. I picked up two of the toy cars and went over to her. “Do you want to play？” I asked. __4__

Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants(移民) are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identities. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the United States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful.
For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the United States. The eighteen­year­old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problem talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and they are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about.
My aunt taught Korean to her children not in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity
because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents' country, they will probably feel different from other people there, too.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is very important, not only for the harmony(和谐) of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous(荒谬的) sayings have appeared：
*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programmes when they are pre­schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5，000 children also finds that some positive programmes make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when。
