M: Aw, man! Why does he always have to travel so much? I feel like I never get to see him anymore.
W: I know. Your sister and I feel the same way, but this is the way it has to be right now.
M: But you never travel for your job.
W: That’s because I work from home. I guess I’m lucky. But there are disadvantages, too. Your father is gone a lot, but he also makes good money.
M: Why doesn’t he work from home?
W: Well, working in sales means you have to be on the road a lot. If he stayed at home, how would he ever sell anything?
M: I guess you’re right. When I grow up, I’m not going to choose work over family like Dad.
W: Don’t be too hard on your father, Bobby. He is doing this for us. You should be thankful.

B
Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.
On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.
When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.
This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.
It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life I was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go off radar (雷达) when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.
After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, “Not a problem, I’m not in a hurry.” Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.
Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other’s stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.
24. What was the author’s life like before the time of recovery from the illness?
A. Awkward. B. Relaxing.
C. Hurried. D. Thrilling.
25. What does the underlined part “go off radar” in Paragraph5 probably mean?
A. Set off. B. Leave for.
C. Take care. D. lose touch.
26. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle?
A. She had more time for reflecting on her past.
B. She found joy in ordinary daily activities.
C. She became impatient with any shop owner.
D. She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.
27. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To tell people how to make coffee tasty.
B. To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.
C. To show the gift from her children.
D. To recommend making friends with others.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”在癌症康复期学会放慢生活节奏,从日常小事中发现乐趣的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation.(去年夏天,在癌症手术后的康复期间,我不得不待在房间里)”及第四段中“My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day.(我通常的做法是匆匆吃完早餐,这样我就可以继续新的一天了)”可知,作者在康复前的生活是匆忙的。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go off radar (雷达) when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being.(奇怪的是,当我们期望那些我们认为所爱的人询问我们的情况时,他们可能会“go off radar”)”和下文的转折“However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.(然而,我们很少保持联系的人突然进入我们的生活,充满了关心,善意的建议和爱)”可知,很少保持联系的人突然进入我们的生活,关心我们,由此推知上文指当我们期望所爱的人询问我们的情况时,他们可能不会联系我们,故推测“go off radar”表示“失去联系”。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks.(康复后,我开始留出额外的时间去做最普通的任务)”及“Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.(当多站几分钟,听鸟儿在我周围的树上唱歌成为我日常生活的一部分时,即使出去洗衣服也变得很愉快)”可知,作者改变生活方式后,在日常活动中找到了乐趣。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers.(此外,我在市中心生活多年最喜欢的经历之一,就是坐在家门口的台阶上,与陌生人共度时光)”及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者在癌症康复期学会放慢生活节奏,从日常小事中发现乐趣,故文章的主要目的是倡导享受慢节奏的生活。故选B。
C
A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony.
One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.”
“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.”
28. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.
A. honor their good behavior in class

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是一个关于“蓝丝带”的感恩故事,通过师生、父子以及同事之间的情感互动,强调每个人都渴望被认可和欣赏。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (之后,老师又给了每个学生三条蓝丝带,并指示他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知,老师给每个学生额外的三条蓝丝带是为了让他们传递这种认可的行为。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. (我的日子压力很大,当我回家时,我没有太关注你。有时我会因为你在学校成绩不够好,以及你的卧室一团糟而对你大喊大叫,但不知怎么的,今晚,我只是想让你知道你对我来说真的很重要。)”可知,在收到蓝丝带之前,他的工作压力很大,不关注儿子,而且还在孩子表现不佳时乱吼孩子,由此可推断,他对家庭责任不够重视,更专注于工作。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” (这个惊讶的男孩开始抽泣,他止不住地哭泣。他的整个身体都在颤抖。长时间的沉默后,他抬头看着父亲,流着泪说:“谢谢你,爸爸。这条蓝丝带对我来说比什么都重要。我也爱你。”)”可知,孩子听到父亲的话止不住的哭泣,沉默长时间后,最后抬起头对爸爸表达了爱,由此可推断,听到父亲的话后,男孩因为长期以来的不安感得到了缓解。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合首段“She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (她送给每位学生一条印有金色字母的蓝色丝带,上面写着:“我就是与众不同”。之后,老师又给了每位学生三条额外的丝带,并指导他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知,文章讲述了老师给学生蓝丝带让他们传递认可,结合下文讲述的学生将认可传递给公司初级主管,初级主管又传递给老板,老板最后认可了儿子,这一系列故事体现了每个人都需要被认可和欣赏,由此可知,本文主要告诉我们:每个人都需要被认可和欣赏。故选C。
D
The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.
Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料)and coal stoves.
These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油)fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.
Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精)stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.
32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By making classifications. B. By listing numbers.
C. By following time order. D. By describing a process.
33. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?
A. People should use an effective air cleaner.
B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.
C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.
D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.
B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .
C. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.
D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The way we cook is changing.
B. Cause of indoor air pollution.
C. The development of electric stoves.
D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。 文章介绍室内污染造成上百万人的死亡,其主要原因是由于人们使用未经过处理的煤炭和煤油,其主要解决办法是依靠新科技发展新能源以及新的燃料。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料)and coal stoves.(世卫组织官员说,近30亿人无法使用清洁燃料和技术来做饭、取暖和照明。他们表示,每年有超过700万人死于室内或室外空气污染。世界卫生组织说,其中大约430万人死于简单生物质和煤炉造成的室内空气污染。) ”可知列举了一系列的数字来说明室内空气污染的严重性,故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem. (新技术和清洁燃料可以让人们摆脱这个问题。)” Carlos Dora认为人们应该使用新技术和清洁燃料去解决室内空气污染的问题,故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.(联合国发现,撒哈拉以南非洲地区95%以上的家庭依靠固体燃料做饭。该组织说,印度、中国和危地马拉、秘鲁等拉美国家的大量人口也面临风险。) ”本段所提及的国家均属于发展中国家,因此可以得出室内空气污染主要集中于发展中国家,故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.(世界卫生组织(WHO)警告称,每年有数百万人死于室内空气污染。世界卫生组织发现,糟糕的烹饪、取暖和照明技术每年导致数百万人死亡。)” 和下文描述可知,室内空气污染每年造成数百万人死亡,引出文章话题,适合做标题,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国传统绘画的起源、特点、历史发展以及现代绘画的特色。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:由于最早的绘画和写作使用了相似的工具和线条,中国画被认为与书法有着相同的起源。主语“similar tools and lines”与动词use之间是被动关系(工具和线条被使用),且描述的是过去(古代)的情况,需用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were + 过去分词”;主语为复数。故填were used。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:由于最早的绘画和写作使用了相似的工具和线条,中国画被认为与书法有着相同的起源。根据句意和句子结构可知,same前通常加定冠词the,表示“相同的”。故填the。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,中国画有一个突出的特点——绘画中运用了诗歌或书法,给人以美的享受。句子已有谓语动词has,空处需填非谓语动词作状语,此处表示一种自然而然的结果,上文陈述的内容与give之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词作结果状语。故填giving。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在汉、唐等朝代的墓葬中,可以看到许多壁画,即画在墙上的画或装饰画。句子已有谓语动词can be seen,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词paintings,动词do和名词paintings为逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词形式。故填done。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:在汉、唐等朝代的墓葬中,可以看到许多壁画,即画在墙上的画或装饰画。dynasty“朝代”是可数名词,此处表示泛指,且前面有other修饰,应用复数形式。故填dynasties。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:顾恺之是晋代著名画家,擅长表现历史题材。此处考查固定短语be good at,意为“擅长”。故填at。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:唐代画家李思训、李昭道父子用矿物颜料画山水。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词The Tang painters, Li Sixun and Li Zhaodao,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导该从句。故填who。
【63题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:有的只画仕女图,有的只画动物,甚至只画一种动物。“只画动物”与“只画一种动物”是选择关系,需用并列连词or连接,表“或者”。故填or。
【64题详解】
考查比较级。句意:因此,他们画得越多,画就越好。根据句意和句子结构可知,此处考查固定句型“the+比较级 ..., the+比较级 ...”,意为“越……,越……”,good的比较级是better。故填better。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国画展览一直在积极举办。空处需填副词actively修饰动词 held作状语,表示“积极地”。故填actively。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a little boy, I used to play the violin with my grandpa, whose favorite song was A Rabbit With Big Ears. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company,” my grandfather always told me.
However, I had neither after I grew up. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in a constant up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I fought for my acting career in New York and failed again and again. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt lonely and abandoned.
“Could my dream ever come true?” I asked myself while I was wandering in a park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something familiar. I followed the sound to a small lake and saw some musicians playing their instruments. I sat down to admire the music quietly.
After the practice came to an end, I approached a boy who had been directing the band and said, “It is the most beautiful music I have heard!”
“Thank you!” he said, laughing. “This is just a community orchestra. If you like, you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument. We usually get together on weekends.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” I thanked him and walked back home.
On the way, I passed a store and noticed a sign outside the shop: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside and saw stringed instruments hanging from the ceiling. At the corner of the store lay an old violin. It reminded me of my grandfather’s.
“It’s funny that I have never noticed this shop before,” I said to the shop owner and pointed to the old violin. “Do you happen to rent it? I’m afraid I could not afford to buy a new one.”
The shop owner shook his head, but asked me to wait for a second after I told him my story. Then he disappeared into a room in the shop.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stood there, wondering what the elderly man would do.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon came the weekend and I joined the musicians by the lake.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I stood there, wondering what the elderly man would do. A few minutes later, he returned with a case and then put the violin inside. “Take it,” he said. “Go and make your music.” I stood there, surprised, as he handed it to me. Holding the violin, I felt like I’d just woken up from a dream. But it was real—as real as the strings I was touching. Having said thanks again and again, I headed home, with my heart pounding with expectations for the incoming weekend.
Soon came the weekend and I joined the musicians by the lake. As we played together, I immediately felt at home. When we were performing in the park, the bystanders cheered and burst into thunderous applause. It was really wonderful to be surrounded by my new friends and I was reminded of what my grandfather had said, “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company.” At the moment, I was full of gratitude to the owner of the violin store.

Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.
On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.
When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.
This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.
It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life I was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go off radar (雷达) when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.
After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, “Not a problem, I’m not in a hurry.” Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.
Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other’s stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.
24. What was the author’s life like before the time of recovery from the illness?
A. Awkward. B. Relaxing.
C. Hurried. D. Thrilling.
25. What does the underlined part “go off radar” in Paragraph5 probably mean?
A. Set off. B. Leave for.
C. Take care. D. lose touch.
26. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle?
A. She had more time for reflecting on her past.
B. She found joy in ordinary daily activities.
C. She became impatient with any shop owner.
D. She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.
27. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To tell people how to make coffee tasty.
B. To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.
C. To show the gift from her children.
D. To recommend making friends with others.
C
A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony.
One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.”
“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.”
28. The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.

The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.
Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料)and coal stoves.
These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油)fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.
Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精)stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.
32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By making classifications. B. By listing numbers.
C. By following time order. D. By describing a process.
33. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?
A. People should use an effective air cleaner.
B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.
C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.
D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.
B. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .
C. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.
D. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The way we cook is changing.
B. Cause of indoor air pollution.
C. The development of electric stoves.
D. Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.

When I was a little boy, I used to play the violin with my grandpa, whose favorite song was A Rabbit With Big Ears. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company,” my grandfather always told me.
However, I had neither after I grew up. Having left my hometown where my family and friends were, I was in a constant up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I fought for my acting career in New York and failed again and again. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt lonely and abandoned.
“Could my dream ever come true?” I asked myself while I was wandering in a park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard something familiar. I followed the sound to a small lake and saw some musicians playing their instruments. I sat down to admire the music quietly.
After the practice came to an end, I approached a boy who had been directing the band and said, “It is the most beautiful music I have heard!”
“Thank you!” he said laughing. “This is just a community orchestra. If you like, you’re welcome to join. All you need is an instrument. We usually get together on weekends.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” I thanked him and walked back home.
On the way, I passed a store and noticed a sign outside the shop: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside and saw stringed instruments hanging from the ceiling. At the corner of the store lay an old violin. It reminded me of my grandfather’s.
“It’s funny that I have never noticed this shop before,” I said to the shop owner and pointed to the old violin. “Do you happen to rent it? I’m afraid I could not afford to buy a new one.”
The shop owner shook his head, but asked me to wait for a second after I told him my story. Then he disappeared into a room in the shop.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
