I began learning to play the violin when I was nine, and the next year I began studying under Natalie Ghent, who was my teacher until I left high school.
Once, Mrs Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist’s music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.
Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best ticket as my birthday present.
Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before, and was amazed by the size as well. I don’t remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been moved by his performance, but I don’t remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes.
When I teach my students to play the violin now, I often tell those who are afraid of making mistakes that if they aren’t going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music.
4. Why did the writer cry when the concert was over?
A. Because the concert was such a big success.
B. Because she felt sad and sorry about her performance.
C. Because she found she didn’t have a gift for music.
D. Because no one tried to help her during her performance.
5. What did Mrs Ghent take the writer to that coming concert for?
A. To celebrate her birthday with classmates.
B. To show how she cared about her.
C. To give her another chance to perform there.
D. To teach her an important lesson in similar situations.
6 What did the writer most probably learn at Carnegie Hall that day?
A. There are no really great performers. B. Even the best players make mistakes.
C. Mischa Elman is not a good performer. D. That performance surprises everyone.
7. Which word can we best describe Mrs Ghent?
A. Serious. B. Strict. C. Careless. D. Kind-hearted.
On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out before the trip. I knew where I was going, staying for how long and how I would get there. And then half-way I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流). Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now I am a last-minute planner and plan.
Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far before the trip, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my plan.
However, most new travelers are the opposite: They over-plan their trips. They make plans for every day, sometimes even for every hour. Two days here, three hours there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don’t want to waste a single second.
But in travel, less is more. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feeling for the rhythm (节奏) of life. You can visit in a relaxing way, and spend your time on the happy accidents of travel.
When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was hard to make it come true, and changed my plan. I came up with a list of just one or two things I want to see each day. It’s an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, and let your travels begin from there. This way you will never be locked into a certain place if your feelings change.
8. What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Prepared. B. Discussed. C. Gave up. D. Thought about.
9. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The writer lives an easy but poor life. B. The writer enjoys traveling a lot.
C. The writer thinks planning less is helpless. D. The writer prefers to follow others when traveling.
10. What does the writer suggest about traveling?
A. Hitting the road with simple plans. B. Being a last-minute planner.
C. Speeding up the travelling rhythm. D. Keeping to the first trip plan.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Plan the 1st Round-the-world Trip B. Why It Is Great to Travel Without a Plan
C. How to Spend Time and Money on the Trip D. Why I Change Plans While Travelling
①The weather is getting warm. You decide to get a haircut. Some of your hair is cut and cleared away, but your hair’s story doesn’t end there after the haircut.
②Have you ever considered using your old hair after it has been cut? Some farmers actually do this! What grows from it? Not wigs (假发), but larger and more delicious plants. Hair owns a lot of nitrogen (氮), which is good for plant growth. When hair is put into the soil (土壤), it breaks down over time, slowly gives off nitrogen. This can help flowers and vegetables grow a bit quicker.
③If you’re wearing a wool sweater, you’re actually wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep have soft, curly fur known as wool. The curls create pockets of air that hold in heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers cut off sheep’s wool in summer so they don’t get too hot. We use this hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn’t catch fire easily.
④What does your hair say about you? Even years after it’s been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Since hair is made from old skin parts, it holds traces (微量) of chemicals that are in the body when the hair grows. When people are kept in the situation of harmful chemicals, these traces stay in the hair long after they’ve left the body. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can also tell us whose hair it is, which can help policemen punish people who break laws.
⑤Hair does a lot for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, uncovers secrets, and offers endless styling choices. But one thing is certain. Hair isn’t just for wigs anymore.
12. In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage?
A. History. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Health.
13. How does hair help plants to grow?
A. It provides nitrogen. B. It breaks down soil. C. It takes in rainwater. D. It never catches fire.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Hair helps keep warm. B. Hair testing is important. C. Hair can tell secrets. D. Hair helps solve crimes.
15. How is the passage organized? (P: Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.

细节理解题。根据“After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist’s music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.”可知,作者在演奏时忘记了乐谱,表现不佳,所以音乐会结束后她感到伤心和愧疚而哭泣。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据“What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering (耳语) to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note, or made some other kind of mistakes.”及“When I teach my students to play the violin now, I often tell those who are afraid of making mistakes that if they aren’t going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music.”可知,老师带作者去音乐会是想让她明白即使是优秀的演奏者也会犯错,从而在类似情况下给她上重要的一课。故选D。

On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out before the trip. I knew where I was going, staying for how long and how I would get there. And then half-way I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流). Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now I am a last-minute planner and plan.
Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far before the trip, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my plan.

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out before the trip.”以及“And then half-way I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流).”可知,此处应该是放弃了自己设计好的计划,因此ditched与gave up都是“放弃”的意思。故选C。

【11题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far before the trip, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along.”可知,没有计划的旅行有很大的灵活性。因为在旅行前很久没有预订任何东西,所以当你改变主意或者有更好的东西出现时,你可以转向不同的东西。因此“为什么没有计划的旅行很棒”作为标题符合文意。故选B。
