Recently when it is 12:30 in the afternoon, there are always some children playing football in the street in the afternoon. The children were too noisy for him to have a good rest.One day, Mr. Smith told the children that he would give them 25 cents each week to see them play football in the street in the afternoon. He said, “I’m very excited when you play football happily.” This was his explanation. The boys were thrilled, for they could hardly believe that they would be paid to do something they enjoyed.At the end of the first two weeks, the boy came to Mr. Smith’s house, and went away each time happily with their cents. The third week when they came back, however, Mr. Smith said he had nearly run out of his money and sent them away with 15 cents. The fourth week, Mr. Smith said he was ill and he had spent almost all his money on medicine. He gave the boys only 10 cents. The boys were very unhappy, but there were not much for them to do about it.At the end of the fifth week, the boys came back again only to get 5 cents.

Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this “canned music” is especially important in developing children's musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies(催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only lull(催眠) a baby to sleep but promise, praise, and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic(种族的) backgrounds bear, since people often turn to old, familiar languages for intimate(亲密的) songs.Another important family context is the automobile, where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears, for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience, and it is one of the important places where the family gathers for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car or being influenced by the radio, but the recent invention of automobile cassette recorders or eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.1. “Canned music” (Para.1) refers to ____.A. music passed down from older generationsB. recorded music in contrast to live musicC. modern music young people can enjoyD. music children hear in an automobile2. The music children first hear is important in ____.A. shaping their likes and dislikes in musicB. enabling them to learn their native languageC. developing their musical intelligence in musicD. maintaining their strong ethnic backgrounds3. According to the passage, Lullabies are usually sung in ____.A. American EnglishB. a familiar languageC. an African languageD. the parents’ native language4. The underline word “context” in Line 1, Para 3 means ____.A. chancesB. conditionsC. surroundingsD. backgrounds5. The recent invention of automobile cassette recorders allows a family to ____.A. spend a longer time on vocation in the car.B. have more choices in the music they hearC. enjoy music without being disturbedD. have another place to get together with the family.【参考答案】AADCBCThere is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water tower, AB. We first of all go to where the water tower is standing and measure a distance of 90 feet from it, in a straight line, making the spot that is 90 feet from the water tower. Then we take a stick, DC, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. We go from the water tower until we come to a point E, where, with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water tower.We now have two triangles(三角形) and the proportion(比例) of the side CD to the side DE, in the smaller triangle CDE, is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the large triangle BAE. It’s clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water tower.Suppose that the line DE is 5 feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet. From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum(算题): 5 is to 4 as 95 is to AB. We multiply(乘) 95 by 4, making 380, and divided by 5. Then we can get the height of the water tower. The height of any other building can, of course, be easily measured by using the same way.1. Feet in this passage is a measurement of ____.A. weightB. heightC. lengthD. size2. The proportion of the side CD to the side DE is ____ the proportion of the side BA to the side BE.A. bigger thanB. the same asC. not as big asD. smaller than3. The triangle CDE must be ____.A. below the triangle BAEB. in the triangle BAEC. out of the triangle BAED. over the triangle BAE4. According to the measurements, which of the following proportion sums is correct?A. BA is to four as five is to ninety-five.B. BA is to ninety-five as four is to five.C. Five is to ninety-five as BA is to four.D. Four is to five as BA is to ninety.5. The height of the water-tower is ____.A. 45 feetB. 180 feetC. 90 feetD. 76 feet【参考答案】CBBBDDHurricanes, once seemingly rare and terrifying, are becoming increasingly common and close to home for many Americans, some of whom have been spared the worst of these natural disasters until the last decade or so, when Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy destroyed major East Coast cities and devastated countless homes and families. Driving the truth of global warming home, in the last month we’ve experienced three back-to-back hurricanes impacting(影响) the U.S. and its territories.In some places, like with Hurricane Harvey in Texas, the worst danger has passed, and the efforts towards relief and rebuilding have begun. In other locations, like with Hurricane Irma in Florida, the storm is happening now, and there are already warnings of a new storm(Hurricane Jose) en route. While none of us can make the flooding, rains, and winds stop any sooner---there are some ways you can help, if you’re fortunate enough to live in a location where you’re safe and sound from the elements.Donate CashHarvey: Donate to the Red Cross by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting HARVEY to 90999 to make a $10 donation.Irma: RED CROSS and GlobalGiving’s Irma Relief Fund are accepting donations.V olunteerIrma: While the Red Cross is at capacity for receiving volunteers to help with Harvey relief efforts, their need for volunteers to help with Irma right now is “tremendous.”Find homes for the Displaced(无家可归的)Irma & Harvey: Airbnb is looking for property owners to offer free accommodations to families displaced by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.Donate BloodIrma & Harvey: Not only are people injured as a result of the hurricane, but there are also people who would have otherwise donated blood but won’t be able to this week(or longer) because life---and nature---is getting in the way. This is a crucial time to donate blood if you can, and it applies to all storms, and all reasons, at all times.Donate DiapersIf you’re displaced from your home, there’s only so much you can carry with you. Texas Diaper Bank is desperately seeking cash and diaper donations so they can share emergency diapers with families.Donate FoodHarvey & Irma Or, rather, money for food. Food banks in the area can really use some cash, because they’re assisting a lot of people who are hungry. The Houston Food Bank, Galveston Country Food Bank, and Corpus Christi Food Bank all accept online donations, and that money will go directly toward feeding displaced families. Help the KidsHarvey & Irma: UNICEF is providing emergency relief and will help children affected by the hurricane resume their education in the coming months.Get a Puppy(Yes, Really)Harvey & Irma: There are a lot of pets displaced by the storm, and unfortunately, if they get struck in shelters for too long, they may not survive. If you can adopt a cat or dog(Austin’s no-kill shelter has guidelines), that will give them a home. Or try to return them to their owners if possible. If you can’t do all of these, you can also donate money or supplies because animal shelters are well over capacity right now.1. Which of the following is not the name of a hurricane?A. HarveyB. IrmaC. JoseD. Airbnb2. According to the writer, what is the major cause of three devastating hurricanes in a row?A. Global warmingB. Government’s incapabilityC. Lack of volunteersD. Shortage of money3. How many ways of help are mentioned in the passage?A. 3B. 5C. 6D. 84. What should you not do if you come across a homeless pet animal?A. Sent it back to their owners.B. Take it to animal shelters.C. Donate money and supplies.D. Keep it in your home temporarily.5. Whom is this article intended for(为...而提供)?A. Victims of the two hurricanes.B. People deciding to donate blood.C. Relief workers of the hurricanes.D. People from the safe neighborhoods.【参考答案】DACDD单词拼写1.
