The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music(管弦乐), such as the symphonies(交响乐)of Beethoven. There is opera(歌剧)for singers.

(1) I was so interested in the story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someon e crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. (2) I looked out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down.I decided that I should to out and have a look inthe yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Who's there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet.Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbor's parrot（鹦鹉）！While I was out in the yard, the parrot must have seen the light in the living room and come in through the open window.6.One summer evening the author was reading by the open window because _______________.A.it was getting darkB.it was too dark for him to read easily outsideC.he didn't turn on the lightD.none of the above7.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The author heard a cry for help as soon as he put the book down and got upB.Hardly had the author got up and turned on the light when he heard a cry for helpC.The author looked out because it was too dark to see anything insideD.A child, whose voice sounded like a parrot, was crying for help on the top of a tree8.The book the author was reading was ________________________ .A.an ordinary book about scienceB.a science book on soundC.a science story-book about strange creatures on a certain heavenly bodyD.a book on how to play tricks on others9. Finally the author found___________________ .A.that he was a very foolish personB.that he had got used to the cry for helpC.a large green and red bird flying into his living room from his neighbor's houseD.the secret(C)Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one handand relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.10.Pollution, noise and stress are examples of __________________.A.causes of unfitnessB.bad features of living in townsC.the things we can completely do away withD.unavoidable things in town11.We don't get much out of separate sports because we _______________.A.don't do them very oftenB.don't do them actively enoughC.find it hard to get out of our armchairsD.don't find them interesting12.To be healthy we must __________________.A.keep fit and activeB.keep fit and learn to relaxC.be active and practise YogaD.have a sound mind13.Our forefathers were healthy because_________.A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxationB.they were careful to get plenty of fresh airC.they spent most of the time out of doorsD.their environment was not polluted(D)Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother's ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining（纠缠）the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.It was a fearless mother's love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet （斧头）from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy's voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa's heart was broken and she nearly went mad.Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak（牛排）. Lisa was really mad.A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake's back madly and savagely.Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake's body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.14.What did Lisa find when she came into the backyard?A.A big snake was swallowing her son.B.Her son was playing with a poisonous snake.C.Her son was in danger of losing his life.D.Barney was fighting a big snake.15.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?A.Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.B.Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snake's skin was too hard.C.Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.D.Because she was too astonished to do anything.16. ________, so she bit the snake.A.Lisa was really driven madB.Lisa thought her teeth were much sharper than the hatchetC.Lisa couldn't refuse the temptation of the snake's meatD.Lisa had not got any other way to deal with the snake17.From the story, we learned that it was a mother's love that made___________ .A.Barney braveB.the snake frightenedC.Lisa mad and angryD.the woman fearlessⅤ.阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）［1］Music is an art that almost everyone enjoys. Everyone can make sounds by singing, banging a stick, plucking(拨) a tight string or blowing through a pipe. All over the world, many kinds of music have developed as people found out how to make sounds in different ways. There are so many kinds of music to hear that you can soon find a kind that you like.［2］People can get all kinds of feelings while hearing music and this is why music is so popular.Music can make you march or dance; it can make you feel happy or sad. More than other arts, music can affect your mood and feelings.［3］Every country has its own kind of music. In France many people like dance-music played on the accordion，and many Americans enjoy banjo music. Spain is famous for its guitar music, and India for the twang sound of the sitar (锡塔琴).［4］Many people like music in their own national style. But there are also people who enjoy classical music and pop music, which has spread throughout the world with the help of the record-player and radio.［5］However, there are still great differences between the music of the West and ______ of the East. Many of the instruments are very different. The guitar and the sitar are both instruments in which strings are plucked by fingers, but they don’t sound alike. The musical differences between East and West are not only in the instruments, but also in the ways the notes(音符) are put together.1. What’s the main idea of this passage?
