M：You must have smelled the neighbor's，because I didn't cook. W：What a disappointment! Text 3 M：Is it Harry that is playing the piano? W：That's his sister.She's very good at piano.She plays the violin as well. M：Does Harry play anything else? W：He's not bad at guitar.He doesn't practice enough，though. Text 4 W：What bad weather！It's been raining for a week. M：Next week it will be worse—snow is coming.I really miss the sun in Florida. Text 5 M：Sara has been away on business for one week.Hasn't she told you when she will be back? W：She called me this morning.She said she would stay there for another five days.

M：Yes，he was in front of the others for ages.It was a shame that he had a problem with his bike. W：Yes.Then Brian，the one in the white shirt，passed him—and he looked good until he was overtaken by the winner，Jason. M：Mmm...yes.Jason，that guy in the black shirt，was amazingly fast. Text 7 W：I want to keep a pet，but I don't know what kind of pet to keep. M：Dogs are nice.As they are energetic，you need to let them get enough exercise every day.

A suitcase really isn't suitable in the mountains，so just bring a small backpack.Remember to bring some warm clothes and wear hiking shoes.We have booked a three-star hotel.We should get to the hotel by mid-afternoon，so you'll have some free time before dinner.As far as I know，this hotel is well decorated.Sadly，there's no swimming pool or tennis court，though there's a gym.I know many of you enjoy sports.Well, are there any questions? 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Opera at Music Hall：1243 Elm Street.The season runs June through August, with additional performances in March and September.The Opera honors Enjoy the Arts membership discounts.Phone：241-2742.http：//www.cityopera.com.

I felt like an awkward new girl the morning I walked into the practice room.An original score (乐谱) had been written to be sung in three parts, which others read like they had been sentences on a page and burst into song.To me, it might well have been written in ancient Greek.I tried my best to follow the tune. Standing on stage on the evening of our performance, I started trembling (颤抖), but as soon as the music started, I calmed down.A sea of smiling faces encouraged me.Applause filled the hall and I was really excited.I realized that performing was addictive. I also realized that what I always told my children was true: unless you push yourself and are brave to try something new, you'll miss out on so much that life offers.

Legend has it that more than 2，000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very depressed about the death of his favorite concubine.To help him get over his sadness, a minister made a puppet out of cotton and silk in the likeness of the concubine and projected its shadow on a curtain for the emperor to see.The show brought the emperor some comfort.He somehow believed the shadow was his lover's spirit.This is thought to be the beginning of the shadow play. One mouth tells stories of thousands of years; a pair of hands operate millions of soldiers.This is how the shadow puppeteer works.Nicknamed “the business of the five”， a shadow play group is made up of five people.One operates the puppets, one plays suona and yueqin, one plays banhu, one is in charge of percussion instruments, and one sings. During performances, “actors” are held close to a white curtain with their colored shadows cast on it by a strong light from behind.The operator plays five puppets at the same time, each of which has three threads.Ten fingers handle fifteen threads.Moved by guiding sticks, the puppets play roles with musical accompaniment. The popularity of the shadow play in some way lies in the equipment being light and easy to carry, the small number of people needed for a performance, and the flexible requirements for performance places.The plays can be quite dramatic and, when it comes to myths or kung fu stories, the “actors” may be made to ride on clouds or perform unusual feats, to the great enjoyment of the audience, especially children.The audience can tell a figure's character by seeing his mask.Like the masks in Beijing Opera, a red mask represents loyalty and bravery. Nowadays, the shadow play has been industrialized and developed a series of tourist products for the promotion of Chinese culture and tourism.

A．Positive. B．Friendly. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 观点态度题。根据最后一段“如今，皮影戏已经工业化，并开发了一系列的旅游产品，以促进中国文化和旅游”可推知，作者对皮影戏的未来持肯定态度，故选A。 28 29 30 31 31．What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?

Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket.For the first stage of the study, participants threw the ball from a fixed point.They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice, while not listening to music, or while listening to music that the researchers selected.For the second stage, they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices. The study found that listening to music, whether it was music of the volunteer's choice or a song chosen for them, did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket.It had no effect.What it did do was increase self-esteem and make the participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music. The results suggest that music may pump you up.And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it.But no matter what song you listen to, it's not going to help you get that ball into the basket. Another study took a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise.Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they're working less while also benefiting their bodies more. Listening to high-pace music while exercising resulted in the higher heart rate compared with not listening to music.This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial (有益的) in terms of enhancing physical fitness. The study found that the beneficial effects of high-pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity (高强度) exercise such as weightlifting. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。发表在《心理学前沿》杂志上的一项研究对运动中的音乐进行了更深入的研究， 特别是听音乐如何影响一个人的整体表现。 32．What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test? A．Choose positions and music. B．Shoot from a fixed point. C．Shoot with fixed music. D．Shoot with no music. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the second stage, they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.(在第二阶段， 他们可以选择在投球时站在哪里， 并在不同的音乐选择下进行相同的活动)”可知， 在第二阶段的测试中， 志愿者们在投球时被允许选择位置和音乐。故选A。 32 33 34 35 33．Which is more encouraging for males in a ball-throwing test? A．Music given by experts. B．Music chosen by themselves. C．Peaceful music. D．Loud music. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What it did do was increase self-esteem and make the participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.(它确实做到的是增强了参与者的自尊， 让他们更有可能冒险， 尤其是那些被允许自己选择音乐的男性)”和第四段中的“The results suggest that music may pump you up.(研究结果表明，音乐可能让你振作起来)”可知， 在投球测试中， 男性自己选择的音乐对他们来说更令人鼓舞。故选B。 32 33 34 35 34．What do we know about high-pace music? A．It has no effect on sports. B．It improves your athletic skills. C．It helps easily achieve a better workout. D．It is beneficial for all forms of exercise. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知， 运动时听节奏快的音乐比不听音乐时心率高， 这意味着运动看起来不那么费力， 但就加强身体素质而言， 快节奏音乐更有益。由此可推知， 快节奏音乐有助于轻松获得更好的锻炼效果。故选C。 32 33 34 35 35．What does the underlined word “enhancing” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Reducing. B．Balancing. C．Changing. D．Strengthening. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 词义猜测题。结合句意可知， 就加强身体素质而言， 快节奏音乐更有益。此处指有利于加强身体素质，故选D。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了摇滚音乐节的发展、特点以及在人们生活中的作用。 The earliest known music festival occurred in the 6th century BCE.After centuries' development, by the late 1960s, rock bands had begun to organize their own music festivals.Perhaps the first formal and well-known festival for rock was the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, which brought rock bands to the attention of American audiences. 36 It started in 1968 as an event with about 10，000 people. 36 37 38 39 40 A．Rock music is the reflection of history. B．The Woodstock Rock Festival changed the form of rock concerts. C．However, it focused not only on music but other events. D．Another early rock festival was the Isle of Wight Festival. E．Today, it's hard to imagine summer without music festivals. F．What perhaps put music festivals on the map was the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. G．Others are intended for younger audiences or those who prefer period-based music.  答案：D 36 37 38 39 40 根据空前的内容(也许第一个正式的著名摇滚音乐节是1967年的蒙特利流行音乐节)以及空后的内容(这项活动始于1968年，有大约10 000人参加)可知，空前提出了最早的摇滚音乐节，空后的It指代本空提出的另一个音乐节，D项(另一个早期的摇滚音乐节就是怀特岛音乐节)符合语境，故选D。 36 37 38 39 40 By 1970, the festival had grown to bring in more than 600，000 people, showing the popularity of music festivals to organizers.Many others also began to organize such events.The Summerfest Festival was established in 1968. 37 Interestingly, this festival made cities realize festivals could bring many benefits.This helped to spread the idea of creating not only music festivals but also other types of festivals, such as those related to food and films. 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．Rock music is the reflection of history. B．The Woodstock Rock Festival changed the form of rock concerts. C．However, it focused not only on music but other events. D．Another early rock festival was the Isle of Wight Festival. E．Today, it's hard to imagine summer without music festivals. F．What perhaps put music festivals on the map was the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. G．Others are intended for younger audiences or those who prefer period-based music.  答案：C 根据空前的内容(Summerfest音乐节在1968年成立)以及空后的内容(有趣的是，这个节日让城市意识到节日可以带来很多好处)可知，此处介绍的是Summerfest音乐节的情况，结合空后的“Interestingly”推断，这个音乐节有与众不同之处。C项(然而它不仅专注于音乐，还专注于其他活动)符合语境，且C项中的“it”指代空前的“The Summerfest Festival”，故选C。 36 37 38 39 40 38 It drew so many people, making it the first large rock music festival.Labeled as “three days of love and peace”， Woodstock featured many well-known energetic bands and artists, making rock music festivals known to many Americans and Europeans. 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．Rock music is the reflection of history. B．The Woodstock Rock Festival changed the form of rock concerts. C．However, it focused not only on music but other events. D．Another early rock festival was the Isle of Wight Festival. E．Today, it's hard to imagine summer without music festivals. F．What perhaps put music festivals on the map was the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. G．Others are intended for younger audiences or those who prefer period-based music.  答案：F 根据空后的(它吸引了很多人)及空后第二句的内容(以“三天的爱和宁静”为标签的伍德斯托克音乐节以许多著名且有活力的乐队和艺术家为特色，让很多美国人和欧洲人了解了摇滚音乐节)可知，本段是介绍伍德斯托克音乐节的情况，说明伍德斯托克音乐节使摇滚音乐节变得普及。F项(也许让音乐节出名的是1969年的伍德斯托克音乐节)符合语境，既引出了该音乐节，又介绍了它的影响，能概括本段主旨，故选F。 36 37 38 39 40 39 Many genres (类型) now have their own music festivals, ranging from classical music to heavy metal.Countries in every habitable continent have music festivals.Some focus on traditional, folk music. 40 Music festivals have become extremely popular venues that have become well established as part of summer culture. 36 37 38 39 40 36 37 38 39 40 A．Rock music is the reflection of history.
