Believe it or not that is an apt description of the famous composer (作曲家) Johann Sebastian Bach. Born in Germany, on March 21, 1685, to Johann Ambrosius Bach, the town musician, and his wife, Elisabetha, JS Bach was the youngest of eight children. At that time in Germany, the surname Bach was synonymous (同义词) with “musician” because many of Bach’s ancestors had worked as organists (管风琴手), singers and music directors. The youngster learned first from his father and then from his oldest brother, himself an organist, following the death of both parents when he was just 10. It was this brother that gave the young Bach his first formal keyboard - organ and harpsichord (羽管键琴) - lessons. In 1703, at age 18, he has his first job as a violinist at the court of Duke Johann Ernst. Then, in 1708, he became the organist at the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst. In 1717, he accepted a position with Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen. In 1723, he took a position in Leipzig, where he was the organist until his death in 1750. Many still revere (敬仰) Bach today because of his incredible musical talent and lasting influence on Western music. His work laid the foundation (基础) for later composers, and his pieces are still widely studied and performed for their technical brilliance and depth of expression. 1. What can we know about Bach from the passage? A. Where he studied. B. How many works he created C. Why he is still famous. 2. What’s the underlined word “surname” in Para 2 mean? A. Last name. B. Middle name. C. First name. 3. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 4. Which of the following best describes Bach’s influence on music? A. He invented new musical instruments, like violins and organs. B. His works are still studied and performed today. C. He taught many famous composers personally. 5. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The history of music in Germany during Bach’s time. B. Bach’s family life and work experience. C. Bach’s musical career and lasting influence. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. A 4. B 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了著名作曲家约翰・塞巴斯蒂安・巴赫的生平、音乐生涯及对西方音乐的持久影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Many still revere (敬仰) Bach today because of his incredible musical talent and lasting influence on Western music.”可知，文章说明了巴赫如今仍闻名的原因，故选C。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文中“the surname Bach was synonymous (同义词) with ‘musician’ because many of Bach’s ancestors had worked as organists (管风琴手), singers and music directors.”可知，巴赫这个“surname”等同于“音乐家”，因为巴赫的许多祖先都曾担任过管风琴手、歌手和音乐指挥，可推知“surname” 应该是他们家族的姓，故选A。 【3题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段总述巴赫虽已340岁，但仍能影响当下；第二至四段分别讲述他的家庭背景、学习经历、工作经历，第五段讲述对西方音乐的持久影响，文章是“总-分”结构，即①/②③④⑤ ，故选A。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“and his pieces are still widely studied and performed for their technical brilliance and depth of expression.”可知，他的作品至今仍被研究和演奏，体现对音乐的影响，故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了巴赫的音乐生涯（学习、工作经历等）以及对西方音乐的持久影响展开，故选C。 B Before rail was introduced, the primary means of transportation (交通运输) in China was by boat, often along China’s many great rivers, which include the Yellow River in the north, the Changjiang in central China, and the Zhujiang in the south. People also used the Grand Canal (大运河), which connected Beijing with Hangzhou, about 1,300 kilometers to the south. Traveling long distance (距离) by road had many disadvantages, as there were mountains and rivers to cross, and the road was sometimes poor. The most common form of travel in modern China is by rail. However, the earliest railway in China was not successful. The first was built in Beijing in 1865 by British merchants as a demonstration (演示) for the Qing Dynasty government. Unfortunately, officials found the railway noisy and strange, and had the railway taken apart. It was not until 1881 that the first permanent railway in China was established (建立). Now that China has gained skill and knowledge in high speed rail, it is seeking to export (输出) its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the development of a new high speed rail line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects in many other countries. Perhaps its most ambitious project is a Trans-Asian network linking China with Europe, which is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路倡议). 6. What can we know from Para 1? A. The main transportation in China in the past. B. The number of the Grand Canal of ancient China. C. The advantage of traveling long distance. 7. Why did the Qing Dynasty government take apart the first railway? A. They thought it too expensive. B. They thought it noisy and strange. C. They didn’t like the British merchants. 8. When did China have the first permanent railway? A. In 1865 B. In 1881. C. In 2030. 9. What is China’s first international project? A. A new high speed rail line from Istanbul to Ankara. B. A Trans-Asian network from China to Europe. C. A new grand canal from Turkey to China. 10. Which word in the last paragraph has the similar meaning to “connect”? A. Gain. B. Seek. C. Link. 【答案】6. A 7. B 8. B 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国交通运输方式从古代水运到现代铁路的发展历程，重点介绍了早期铁路建设的曲折和高铁技术的国际输出成就。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Before rail was introduced, the primary means of transportation (交通运输) in China was by boat, often along China’s many great rivers”可知，铁路出现前中国主要交通工具是船。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据“officials found the railway noisy and strange, and had the railway taken apart”可知，清政府拆除铁路因为觉得它吵闹且奇怪。故选B。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was not until 1881 that the first permanent railway in China was established (建立).”可知，中国第一条永久铁路建于1881年。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Its first project on the international market was the development of a new high speed rail line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara”可知，中国首个国际项目是伊斯坦布尔至安卡拉高铁。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Perhaps its most ambitious project is a Trans-Asian network linking China with Europe”可知，“linking”在这里表示“连接”，与 “connect”意思相近。故选C。 C ?

You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them.” “Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.” Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up straight and tried smiling at people. Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile. Mr. Yang came over at once and said, “You made a good impression on her, Simon.” “That was my sister,” said Simon. “She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.” 11.

In my family, we try to keep a balance. I use my phone for about an hour a day—mostly for studying or calling friends. My dad never uses his tablet during family time, which helps us stay connected. Overdoing it causes problems. I used to spend several hours playing games every day. After that, my eyes hurt, I couldn’t sleep well and my grades dropped. My classmates even didn’t play with me anymore and I felt lonely. Here are two tips. First, set a daily limit, like 45 minutes. It stops you from losing track of time. Second, join after-school activities. When I started playing tennis, I had less time for screens but made more friends. You can find balance too. Cheer up!

Believe it or not that is an apt description of the famous composer (作曲家) Johann Sebastian Bach. Born in Germany, on March 21, 1685, to Johann Ambrosius Bach, the town musician, and his wife, Elisabetha, JS Bach was the youngest of eight children. At that time in Germany, the surname Bach was synonymous (同义词) with “musician” because many of Bach’s ancestors had worked as organists (管风琴手), singers and music directors. The youngster learned first from his father and then from his oldest brother, himself an organist, following the death of both parents when he was just 10. It was this brother that gave the young Bach his first formal keyboard - organ and harpsichord (羽管键琴) - lessons. In 1703, at age 18, he has his first job as a violinist at the court of Duke Johann Ernst. Then, in 1708, he became the organist at the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst. In 1717, he accepted a position with Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen. In 1723, he took a position in Leipzig, where he was the organist until his death in 1750. Many still revere (敬仰) Bach today because of his incredible musical talent and lasting influence on Western music. His work laid the foundation (基础) for later composers, and his pieces are still widely studied and performed for their technical brilliance and depth of expression. 1. What can we know about Bach from the passage? A. Where he studied. B. How many works he created C. Why he is still famous. 2. What’s the underlined word “surname” in Para 2 mean? A. Last name. B. Middle name. C. First name. 3. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 4. Which of the following best describes Bach’s influence on music? A. He invented new musical instruments, like violins and organs. B His works are still studied and performed today. C. He taught many famous composers personally. 5. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The history of music in Germany during Bach’s time. B. Bach’s family life and work experience. C. Bach’s musical career and lasting influence. B Before rail was introduced, the primary means of transportation (交通运输) in China was by boat, often along China’s many great rivers, which include the Yellow River in the north, the Changjiang in central China, and the Zhujiang in the south. People also used the Grand Canal (大运河), which connected Beijing with Hangzhou, about 1,300 kilometers to the south. Traveling long distance (距离) by road had many disadvantages, as there were mountains and rivers to cross, and the road was sometimes poor. The most common form of travel in modern China is by rail. However, the earliest railway in China was not successful. The first was built in Beijing in 1865 by British merchants as a demonstration (演示) for the Qing Dynasty government. Unfortunately, officials found the railway noisy and strange, and had the railway taken apart. It was not until 1881 that the first permanent railway in China was established (建立). Now that China has gained skill and knowledge in high speed rail, it is seeking to export (输出) its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the development of a new high speed rail line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects in many other countries. Perhaps its most ambitious project is a Trans-Asian network linking China with Europe, which is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路倡议). 6. What can we know from Para 1? A. The main transportation in China in the past. B. The number of the Grand Canal of ancient China. C. The advantage of traveling long distance. 7. Why did the Qing Dynasty government take apart the first railway? A. They thought it too expensive. B. They thought it noisy and strange. C. They didn’t like the British merchants. 8. When did China have the first permanent railway? A. In 1865 B. In 1881. C. In 2030. 9. What is China’s first international project? A. A new high speed rail line from Istanbul to Ankara. B. A Trans-Asian network from China to Europe. C. A new grand canal from Turkey to China. 10. Which word in the last paragraph has the similar meaning to “connect”? A. Gain. B. Seek. C. Link. C ? Debbie and Simon are students. They both have part-time jobs at a travel company. A well-dressed lady entered the office. She looked at Debbie and Simon, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting. Simon sighed and walked away. “What’s the matter?” Mr. Yang asked. “People always choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.” “I do. It’s the way you communicate.” “How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t get a chance to speak.” “Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important too.” “Body language?” “It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them.” “Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.” Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up straight and tried smiling at people. Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile. Mr. Yang came over at once and said, “You made a good impression on her, Simon.” “That was my sister,” said Simon. “She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.” 11. Where are Debbie and Simon? A. At their school. B. At a travel company. C. At Simon’s birthday party. 12. What doesn’t Simon understand? A. Why people always choose Debbie. B. What Mr. Yang said. C. He can’t get a chance to speak. 13. What is communication according to Mr. Yang? A. Communication is just speaking. B. Communication is body language. C. Communication is more than speaking. 14. Which of the following is right? A. Simon’s body language can’t give people a good impression. B. Debbie never smiles and makes people feel unfriendly. C. After Simon improved his body language, he had his first customer. 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Body language. B. Good impression. C. Communication. 第二节：短文还原（共5小题，每小题1分）。 D 阅读D篇，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处最佳选项使短文意思通顺、内容完整，每个选项限用一次，有一项为多余选项。 Think of Australia and cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane usually come to mind.
