Why do you like listening to it so much?” At the same time, they described the music that they liked as “beautiful”. In fact, they are not the only ones who have this opinion. As I’ve grown older, I’ve often heard my friends say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that? The exposure effect (曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar (熟悉的) we are with something, the more probably we will like it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. We come to understand the new songs and artists during this time really well. After we become 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have much time to look for new music. Instead, we like to listen to our old favorite songs that bring us back to our happy and simple days. According to studies, when we are 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason why older people dislike new music. Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some kinds of music began by young people as ways to fight against out-of-date things. These kinds include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. Younger people love them naturally. Do your parents hate the music you like, too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that. 1．According to the passage, many older people dislike new music because ________. A．it makes them upset and they don’t want to waste their time B．it sounds terrible and the songs bring them back to sad days C．they don’t understand the difficult words and hate the artists D．they don’t know it well and it’s mostly written for the young 2．The underlined word “exploring” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．looking for B．trying out C．giving up D．setting up 3．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．New music will become more popular with older people. B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music. C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music. D．More beautiful and simple songs will be written for older people. 4．This passage mainly talks about ________. A．different kinds of music in the world B．people’s different opinions on new music C．the great importance of the exposure effect D．the reasons why older people dislike new music Few students like it, but homework is an important part of middle school life in the UK. The UK has these government rules for homework: Years 7 and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Year 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day. Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer—for example, preparing PPT, using the Internet, or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. That way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools’ facilities (设施). Sometimes students are given “extended (拓展的) learning tasks”. That means they need to do more research and analysis, such as when working on a history or art project. But however big the task is, teachers will always give feedback (反馈). They help students find areas where they can improve. Some schools send students home with a homework diary. They encourage parents to check on their children’s progress. Other schools have a website for parents to track their children’s performance every day. Sadly, not every parent takes that much interest. In a 2011 survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over one in ten said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said that their family did not support them enough. 1．How long should UK students at the age of 11 to 13 do their homework per day? A．Less than 45 minutes. B．45 to 90 minutes. C．60 to 90 minutes. D．1 to 2 hours. 2．If students don’t have a computer at home, how can they finish their online homework? A．They can go to the teacher’s home after school. B．They don’t have to finish their homework. C．They can use the computers at school. D．They can ask their classmates for help. 3．What can we learn from the survey in 2011? A．UK parents took much interest in their children’s studies. B．Over 10 percent of the students had no space at home to do homework. C．Some parents did not know about the government rules. D．The homework diary works very well in the UK. 4．What might the writer agree according to the passage? A．Homework doesn’t play an important role in students’ learning. B．Families should support students’ studies. C．Extended learning tasks make students work for long hours. D．Parents should give homework feedback at once. Natural disasters are sudden events that usually bring terrible results. People may lose their homes, money and even lives during the disasters. We have recently found that natural disasters sometimes happen. So we decided to find out some famous natural disasters around the world. Hurricanes (飓风) are very dangerous storms with strong winds. The worst Atlantic hurricane in history was the Great Hurricane from October 10th to16th in 1780. When a volcano (火山) happens, it throws hot liquid (液体) rock and gases into the air through the hole at the top. On August 26th, 1883, Earth made the loudest sound from the island of Krakatoa. On November 1st, 1755, an earthquake (地震) hit Lisbon, in Portugal. The ground moved for ten minutes. The earthquake broke most of the buildings in a city apart. On December 28th, 1908, a tsunami (海啸) hit Messina. in Italy. The huge wall of seawater was about ten meters high. How high do you think the seawater is in this picture? 1．How many kinds of natural disasters are mentioned (提到) in the text? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．A tsunami hit Messina, in Italy on August 26th, 1883. B．An earthquake hit Lisbon, in Portugal on November 1st,1755. C．An earthquake made the loudest sound from the island of Krakatoa. D．The Great Hurricane in 1780 was the worst Pacific hurricane in history. 3．We most probably read the text at ________. A．www. Fisu. com/sports/ B．www.bbcamerica.com/movies/ C．www.worldgeography.com/nature/ D．www.chinahighlights.com/greatwall/ ①Do you find it hard to say “no” when someone asks you for help? Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can’t help them? And do you often pretend (假装) to agree with people even though you think differently? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be a “people-pleaser”. ②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build friendships. However, trying to please (取悦) others without considering your own happiness can make you stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser. ③To start with, it’s important to know your limits (限度) and make “boundaries” (界限) in your life. Be clear about what you would like to do. You can also tell others that you are only available for a certain period of time. ④When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself some time to think, you’ll be better able to truly decide if it’s something you have the interest and time to do. ⑤People always try to please others because they have little confidence (自信) in themselves. They don’t consider their own need and interest. In this situation, you can try meaningful self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to waste your time to do things that don’t bring you joy. ⑥Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say “no”. Then, continue to say “no” face to face. Practice this in kinds of situations, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. ⑦Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful altogether. You can still do good things, but on your own situations. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________. A．giving examples B．asking questions C．telling stories D．listing numbers 2．According to the passage, what can people do to stop being a people-pleaser? a. Set limits in your life.    b. Think after you help others. c. Build up confidence.    d. Start by taking small steps. A．abc B．a bd C．acd D．bcd 3．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．The writer wrote the passage most probably to ________. A．advise us not always to please others B．help us build confidence in ourselves C．encourage us to help people in need D．make us be clear about our dreams Weekends, air conditioners (空调), takeouts (外卖)…These are common things for modern people. Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyles? No “weekends” In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. For example, officials (官员) usually worked for 10 days and rested for one day. This day was called xiumu. There were many public holidays in ancient times for common people to rest, such as Spring Festival, winter solstice and Mid-Autumn Festival. People even had days off for the emperor’s (皇帝的) birthday. Smart ways of staying cool In ancient times, ▲ . As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The “bingjian” was a type of ancient fridge. People would put drinks inside and the drinks would become colder. There was a kind of pillow made of china that felt pleasantly cool. People also wove bamboo into bed mats (垫子) to sleep on. Takeouts not a new thing Takeout is not a new thing. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong asked his men to go out to pick up dishes. Common people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and tell customers which dishes could be ordered. People even had good tools to carry takeout dishes. They have several layers (层) just like boxes. People also used warming plates made of two layers of china. Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm. 1．On which days can common people rest in ancient China? ①weekend            ②xiumu            ③winter solstice          ④emperor’s birthday A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 2．Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “ ▲ ” ?

For the past seven years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for everyday activities. ②Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor (教授) at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. ③According to Wang Xin, a trainer in the center, 90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors, which are kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide baby dogs, the dogs need to take personality (性格) tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious (好奇的), excitable or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. ④One volunteer, surnamed Sun, has raised four baby dogs since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs,” said Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines for their care. She also guides them along raised paths (道路) made for visually impaired people so they can feel them and know they are safe. ⑤However, even if the dogs pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Typically, guide dogs serve for six to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. 1．In Paragraph 2, what can we know about the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian?

Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3, 000 years. The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt. You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo. It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. This type of guitar had a long neck and only three strings (弦). The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear. It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs. From 1100 to 1500, travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to go with their songs. Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute, but the guitar changed over time to use single strings. People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in Italy, but the most important change happened in the 1850s. The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger. His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better. Most of today’s classical guitars follow his design. The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s. The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds. We also find them in many different shapes and sizes. Some electric guitars don’t look like guitars at all! 1．Which of the following is a lute? A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Guitars. B．Sounds. C．Shapes.

He often came up with new ideas and left behind the old music styles.     He was introduced to music at an early age. His first teacher was his father, who was very strict. Soon, his talent as a pianist was known by a duke (公爵). He helped the young Beethoven to travel to Vienna, where Mozart lived. And he learned a lot from Mozart.     When he was 22, he lived in Vienna. But he could only live on money given by rich listeners, because he didn’t get the job to work in the church. However, while many loved his music, they were often not willing to pay for the music they loved. Beethoven sometimes tried his best to make enough money for himself.     At that time, though he was widely known as a great musician, he had some strange habits. He was untidy and casual (随意的). One day, Beethoven said to a duke that it was impossible for him to follow so many rules on a big dinner, but he was laughed by others.      Unluckily, his ears started to lose their ability when he was 26, and he became deaf years later. Though he was deaf, he was still able to make the best music. But being deaf meant he couldn’t follow the music team, as he was often a bit slower than the music. This caused him to be disliked by the public, leaving him sad and lonely. Then, he spent all his time making music on his own, never caring about the outside world. In the end, he made his most famous works in his last 15 years.     From his life, we can see a strange but talented musician. Though many people will never understand what he had been through, we will always remember that he is one of the most important musicians in the world. “There are and always will be hundreds of princes, but there is only one Beethoven!” 1．The passage was organized in the order of __________. A．space B．feelings C．time D．importance 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Beethoven couldn’t make enough money with his music talent. B．Beethoven became deaf as he grew older. C．Beethoven was laughed by others because of his strange habits. D．Beethoven went to Vienna and studied music from Mozart. 3．Why did Beethoven leave the music team? A．He had quite a few strange habits. B．He was a little slower than the team. C．The Duke sent him to Vienna. D．He didn’t like the music team. 4．What is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． ①Life has a way of shaping us. Life can make you question your purpose. These are thoughts that I have had in my head for many years. Poetry (诗) prepares me for my purpose. ②My purpose of my life is poetry. In my journey towards purpose, writing poems is my safety net. I started writing at the age of 5. By 13, I had written quite a lot of poems. Poetry was my protection from bullying (欺凌) by some of my classmates. They bullied me because I was different from others. Teachers helped me, but this bullying still gave me low self-esteem (自尊). Poetry was my way to be seen, be heard and be known. For each important moment in my life, I write poetry. In hard times, I write poetry. I connect with poetry on a deep level. It releases (释放) me from pain. ③However, writing poetry can’t support (支撑; 养活) me. So I turned to teaching instead. While living in China, my job is an English teacher. I help teach two classes. The two Chinese teachers I work with give me help on how to teach the students English properly. The teachers decide what I need to do in the classroom. ④With challenging situations like this, I go on writing poetry. I write down my feelings. I reflect. I accept happily a new me.

Here I met my friend, another horse, Ginger. One day, my owner decided to visit some friends. His groom (马夫), James, drove him. As evening fell, we stopped at a large hotel. A stableman brought us into the stable (马厩) and two grooms looked after us. One groom, Towler, had a pipe (烟斗) in his mouth. “Towler, get these horses something to eat. Put your pipe down first!” said the stableman. “All right,” said Towler. At night, I felt uncomfortable and woke up. Ginger was coughing. It was dark, and I could see nothing. ________. It was full of smoke (烟) and hard to breathe. I was very afraid. The stableman came in and wanted to lead the horses out but they were in fear. Then he tried to pull me out, but I did not want to go. Finally, he left the stable alone. Certainly, we were very silly, but danger seemed to be all round and there was nobody we could trust. All was strange and unsure. “Black Beauty, come with me!” James ran to me and said. He always gave us hope. His voice made me calm (镇静的). He put his scarf over my eyes and led me out of the stable. Then, he ran back inside. I shouted at him worriedly when I saw him go. Ginger told me later that she heard my voice and became brave enough to come out. Then I saw James coming out with Ginger. The next morning, we felt sad when hearing that two horses died in the stable. Towler was responsible (担责任的) for the fire. The night before, a man saw him in the stable with a pipe in his mouth.

Why do you like listening to it so much?” At the same time, they described the music that they liked as “beautiful”. In fact, they are not the only ones who have this opinion. As I’ve grown older, I’ve often heard my friends say, “Today’s music is terrible.” Many older people just don’t like new music. But why is that? The exposure effect (曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar (熟悉的) we are with something, the more probably we will like it. When we are in our early teens, we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and discussing it with our friends. We come to understand the new songs and artists during this time really well. After we become 30 years old, we are busy working and raising our families. We don’t have much time to look for new music. Instead, we like to listen to our old favorite songs that bring us back to our happy and simple days. According to studies, when we are 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason why older people dislike new music. Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people. Some kinds of music began by young people as ways to fight against out-of-date things. These kinds include punk, rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. Younger people love them naturally. Do your parents hate the music you like, too? Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that. 1．According to the passage, many older people dislike new music because ________. A．it makes them upset and they don’t want to waste their time B．it sounds terrible and the songs bring them back to sad days C．they don’t understand the difficult words and hate the artists D．they don’t know it well and it’s mostly written for the young 2．The underlined word “exploring” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”. A．looking for B．trying out C．giving up D．setting up 3．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．New music will become more popular with older people. B．Older people will try to listen to different kinds of new music. C．People will know it’s normal that older people dislike new music. D．More beautiful and simple songs will be written for older people. 4．This passage mainly talks about ________. A．different kinds of music in the world B．people’s different opinions on new music C．the great importance of the exposure effect D．the reasons why older people dislike new music 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了为什么许多老年人不喜欢新音乐。 1．细节理解题。根据“We don’t have much time to look for new music. Instead, we like to listen to our old favorite songs that bring us back to our happy and simple days…Most popular music, after all, is not written for them. It is made for young people”可知，很多老年人不喜欢新音乐是因为他们对新音乐不熟悉，而且这种音乐大多是为年轻人创作的。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据“According to studies, when we are 33 years old, most of us will completely stop exploring new music.”可知，作者在这部分讨论的是寻求新音乐的时间减少，“exploring”作为动词表示“寻找”的意思。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Now, after reading this article, you know there is nothing wrong with that.”以及之前的内容分析可知，许多人会理解年长者不喜欢新音乐是正常现象。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要分析了为什么许多年长的人不喜欢新音乐的原因。故选D。 Few students like it, but homework is an important part of middle school life in the UK. The UK has these government rules for homework: Years 7 and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Year 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day. Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer—for example, preparing PPT, using the Internet, or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. That way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools’ facilities (设施). Sometimes students are given “extended (拓展的) learning tasks”. That means they need to do more research and analysis, such as when working on a history or art project. But however big the task is, teachers will always give feedback (反馈). They help students find areas where they can improve. Some schools send students home with a homework diary. They encourage parents to check on their children’s progress. Other schools have a website for parents to track their children’s performance every day. Sadly, not every parent takes that much interest. In a 2011 survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over one in ten said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said that their family did not support them enough. 1．How long should UK students at the age of 11 to 13 do their homework per day? A．Less than 45 minutes. B．45 to 90 minutes. C．60 to 90 minutes. D．1 to 2 hours. 2．If students don’t have a computer at home, how can they finish their online homework? A．They can go to the teacher’s home after school. B．They don’t have to finish their homework. C．They can use the computers at school. D．They can ask their classmates for help. 3．What can we learn from the survey in 2011? A．UK parents took much interest in their children’s studies. B．Over 10 percent of the students had no space at home to do homework. C．Some parents did not know about the government rules. D．The homework diary works very well in the UK. 4．What might the writer agree according to the passage? A．Homework doesn’t play an important role in students’ learning. B．Families should support students’ studies. C．Extended learning tasks make students work for long hours. D．Parents should give homework feedback at once. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国中学生家庭作业的情况，包括作业时间、完成方式、教师反馈以及家长参与等方面，同时也指出了部分家长对孩子学习支持不足的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The UK has these government rules for homework: Years 7 and 8 (ages 11 to 13): 41 to 90 minutes per day”可知，英国11到13岁的学生每天应该做41到90分钟的作业。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. That way, students without computers or Internet at home can use the schools’ facilities”可知，如果学生家里没有电脑，他们可以在学校使用电脑完成在线作业。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In a 2011 survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over one in ten said that they did not have space at home to do homework”可知，2011年的调查显示，超过10%的学生在家里没有做作业的空间。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sadly, not every parent takes that much interest. In a 2011 survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 14, over one in ten said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said that their family did not support them enough”可知，作者通过调查数据指出了部分家长对孩子学习支持不足的问题，因此可以推断作者认为家庭应该支持学生的学习。故选B。 Natural disasters are sudden events that usually bring terrible results.

Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can’t help them? And do you often pretend (假装) to agree with people even though you think differently? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be a “people-pleaser”. ②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build friendships. However, trying to please (取悦) others without considering your own happiness can make you stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser. ③To start with, it’s important to know your limits (限度) and make “boundaries” (界限) in your life. Be clear about what you would like to do. You can also tell others that you are only available for a certain period of time. ④When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself some time to think, you’ll be better able to truly decide if it’s something you have the interest and time to do. ⑤People always try to please others because they have little confidence (自信) in themselves. They don’t consider their own need and interest. In this situation, you can try meaningful self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to waste your time to do things that don’t bring you joy. ⑥Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say “no”. Then, continue to say “no” face to face. Practice this in kinds of situations, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. ⑦Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful altogether. You can still do good things, but on your own situations. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________.

For the past seven years, Xu’s guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for everyday activities. ②Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a professor (教授) at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China. ③According to Wang Xin, a trainer in the center, 90 percent of the center’s guide dogs are Labradors, which are kind and smart. Once trainers find good guide baby dogs, the dogs need to take personality (性格) tests. A good guide dog should not be too curious (好奇的), excitable or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work, according to Wang. ④One volunteer, surnamed Sun, has raised four baby dogs since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs,” said Sun. She strictly follows the center’s guidelines for their care. She also guides them along raised paths (道路) made for visually impaired people so they can feel them and know they are safe. ⑤However, even if the dogs pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog, Wang added. Typically, guide dogs serve for six to 10 years. Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers. 1．In Paragraph 2, what can we know about the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian?

B．A good guide dog should be excitable during work. C．It takes a trainer six to 10 years to train a guide dog. D．The trainer should take personality tests with a guide dog. 4．What will a guide dog become when it is old? A．A police helper. B．A volunteer. C．A pet. D．A trainer. 5．What is the best title for the passage?

Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China.”可知，该中心的服务覆盖了许多地区。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“One volunteer, surnamed Sun, has raised four baby dogs since 2019.”和“She strictly follows the center’s guidelines for their care. She also guides them along raised paths (道路) made for visually impaired people so they can feel them and know they are safe.”可知，她收养了四只小狗。raised意为“养育，抚养”。结合选项，选项C中的“raise”也是“养育”的意思。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“However, even if the dogs pass all tests, they could still be turned down if they don’t enjoy the role of a guide dog”可知，导盲犬需要喜欢自己的角色。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Those who are turned down or are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers, those who raised them, or volunteers.”可知，年老的导盲犬通常会成为宠物。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了导盲犬的训练和服务，以及它们如何帮助视力受损的人。选项A“Guiding the way”最能概括文章主旨。故选A。 The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world. Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3, 000 years. The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt. You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo. It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. This type of guitar had a long neck and only three strings (弦). The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear. It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs. From 1100 to 1500, travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to go with their songs. Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute, but the guitar changed over time to use single strings. People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in Italy, but the most important change happened in the 1850s. The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar’s body bigger. His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better. Most of today’s classical guitars follow his design. The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s. The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds. We also find them in many different shapes and sizes. Some electric guitars don’t look like guitars at all! 1．Which of the following is a lute? A． B． C． D． 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Guitars. B．Sounds. C．Shapes.

A．To discuss the invention of the guitar. B．To introduce the shapes of the guitar. C．To compare the players of the guitar. D．To show the development of the guitar. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了吉他的历史和发展。 1．推理判断题。根据“The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear.”可知，琵琶的琴颈很短，琴身像半个梨，B图片符合，故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“The electric guitars have a solid body and can make many different sounds.

He often came up with new ideas and left behind the old music styles.     He was introduced to music at an early age. His first teacher was his father, who was very strict. Soon, his talent as a pianist was known by a duke (公爵). He helped the young Beethoven to travel to Vienna, where Mozart lived. And he learned a lot from Mozart.     When he was 22, he lived in Vienna. But he could only live on money given by rich listeners, because he didn’t get the job to work in the church. However, while many loved his music, they were often not willing to pay for the music they loved. Beethoven sometimes tried his best to make enough money for himself.     At that time, though he was widely known as a great musician, he had some strange habits. He was untidy and casual (随意的). One day, Beethoven said to a duke that it was impossible for him to follow so many rules on a big dinner, but he was laughed by others.      Unluckily, his ears started to lose their ability when he was 26, and he became deaf years later. Though he was deaf, he was still able to make the best music. But being deaf meant he couldn’t follow the music team, as he was often a bit slower than the music. This caused him to be disliked by the public, leaving him sad and lonely. Then, he spent all his time making music on his own, never caring about the outside world. In the end, he made his most famous works in his last 15 years.     From his life, we can see a strange but talented musician. Though many people will never understand what he had been through, we will always remember that he is one of the most important musicians in the world. “There are and always will be hundreds of princes, but there is only one Beethoven!” 1．The passage was organized in the order of __________. A．space B．feelings C．time D．importance 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Beethoven couldn’t make enough money with his music talent. B．Beethoven became deaf as he grew older.

Here I met my friend, another horse, Ginger. One day, my owner decided to visit some friends. His groom (马夫), James, drove him. As evening fell, we stopped at a large hotel. A stableman brought us into the stable (马厩) and two grooms looked after us. One groom, Towler, had a pipe (烟斗) in his mouth. “Towler, get these horses something to eat. Put your pipe down first!” said the stableman. “All right,” said Towler. At night, I felt uncomfortable and woke up. Ginger was coughing. It was dark, and I could see nothing. ________. It was full of smoke (烟) and hard to breathe. I was very afraid. The stableman came in and wanted to lead the horses out but they were in fear. Then he tried to pull me out, but I did not want to go. Finally, he left the stable alone. Certainly, we were very silly, but danger seemed to be all round and there was nobody we could trust. All was strange and unsure. “Black Beauty, come with me!” James ran to me and said. He always gave us hope. His voice made me calm (镇静的). He put his scarf over my eyes and led me out of the stable. Then, he ran back inside. I shouted at him worriedly when I saw him go. Ginger told me later that she heard my voice and became brave enough to come out. Then I saw James coming out with Ginger. The next morning, we felt sad when hearing that two horses died in the stable. Towler was responsible (担责任的) for the fire. The night before, a man saw him in the stable with a pipe in his mouth. At Birtwick Park, the rule was “no pipes in the stable” and it was a very good rule. Adapted (改编) From Black Beauty by Anna Sewell 1．Which of the following statements can be put in ________?
