A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫)pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》)as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?

“After breakfast at 7: 30 a. m., Serena made her way to Mrs. Martin’s yard. She was good at her job and soon Mrs. Martin’s yard looked much tidier.

C. Answer the questions:(回答问题)
One day last month, I was talking to my writer friend Alex about writing. At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right? ”
“Not always, ” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride. ”
“You know, ” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I'm not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself. ”
Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness (陡峭). As we looked up at its packs, some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said as he encouraged us to keep going.
Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen (鹞子翻身)”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face by pulling at the iron chains. It tired us out. But we felt proud.
We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the more pride we got.
Some mountains now provide tourists with an easier way up-a ride on an escalator. But just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards.
1. What does Alex do? ________________________________________________
2. When did the writer and his friends climb Mount Hua? ______________________________________
3. How did the writer and his friends feel after reaching “Yaozi Fanshen”?_____________ ____________________
4. How many peaks of Mount Hua did the author and his friends climb in the end? ________________________________
5. Do you prefer an easier way or a harder way for mountain climbing? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________________________

( )1. __________young man in black is ________ honest and you can trust him.
A. An, a B. An, the C. The, / D. The, an
答案:C. The, /
考查点: 冠词用法。
解析: "young man in black" 有介词短语修饰,是特指,所以用定冠词 The。"honest" 以元音音素开头,但其前有连词 "and" 连接两个并列的表语(is ___ and you can...),"an honest" 通常用于名词前,这里 "honest" 是形容词,前面不加冠词。句意为“那个穿黑衣服的年轻人很诚实”。
( )2. We plan to prepare the welcome party the evening of Saturday.
A. in; on B. for; on C. with; in D. for; in
答案:B. for; on
考查点: 固定搭配与时间介词。

( ) 3. I found ________impossible to work out the problem without anyone ‘s help.
A. one B. it C. this D. that
答案:B. it
考查点: it 作形式宾语。
解析: 动词 "find" 后接复合宾语(宾语+宾补),当宾语是不定式短语 "to work out the problem..." 时,需要用 it 作形式宾语,将真正的宾语后置。结构为:find it + adj. + to do sth.
( )4.Teenagers should spend as _________ time as possible on electronic products to protect their eyes.
A few B. little C. less D. fewer
答案:B. little
考查点: 形容词比较级固定结构及不可数名词的修饰。

( )5.The home-made ice-cream in this restaurant tastes ________. Would you like some?
A. good B. terribly C. well D. bad
答案:A. good
考查点: 系动词后接形容词。
解析: "taste" 是系动词,后接形容词作表语。表示“尝起来好吃”用 good。"well" 作形容词时意为“身体健康的”,不用于描述食物。
( )6. Tom will help you finish the work on time, so you _______ worry about it.
A. don’t need B. needn’t to C. not need D. needn’t
答案:D. needn’t
考查点: 情态动词的否定形式。
解析: "need" 作为情态动词,可以直接加 not 构成否定,后接动词原形,即 needn't do sth.。"don't need" 中 need 是实义动词,后面应接 to do,即 "don't need to worry"。
( )7. No matter what problem you meet with, you'd better__________ your heart
A. lose B. not lose C. not to lose D. not losing
答案:B. not lose
考查点: had better 的用法。

A work B. are working C. have worked D. will work
答案:C. have worked
考查点: 现在完成时。
解析: 时间状语 "for two years" 表示一段时间,且后句暗示该动作持续至今并将很快成功,强调过去开始持续到现在的动作,用现在完成时 have worked。
( ) 9. Mr. Smith won’t leave school until he ________ his work this afternoon.
A. finish B. finished C. finishes D. will finish
答案:C. finishes
考查点: 主将从现。
解析: 主句是将来时 ("won't leave"),在时间状语从句(由 until 引导)中,用一般现在时 finishes 表示将来。
( )11. Don't be too hard(太苛责) on him. __________, everyone makes mistakes.
A. In all B. After all C. At last D. By chance
答案:B. After all
考查点: 短语辨析。

A. enjoying B. enjoys C. to enjoy D. enjoy
答案:C. to enjoy
考查点: seem 的用法。
解析: "seem" 后接动词不定式,即 seem to do sth.。
( )13. She had difficulty __________ a parking space near the shopping mall.
A. find B. to find C. finding D. found
答案:C. finding
考查点: 固定搭配。
解析: "have difficulty (in) doing sth." 是固定搭配,意为“做某事有困难”。
( )14. —I don't know_________to deal with this maths problem. It's too hard.

A. which B. how C. what D. when
答案:B. how
考查点: 疑问词+不定式。
解析: "how to deal with" 是固定搭配,意为“如何处理”。"what to do with" 也表示“如何处理”,但中间有 "this maths problem" 作宾语,所以用 "how to deal with it" 的结构,这里空格后是 "to deal with this problem",所以选 how。
( ) 15. Which of the following sentences has the structure of :S+V+IO+DO?
A.Autumn leaves turn brown. B.Sandy’s mum gave her a new computer.
C.I found him very interesting. D.Tommy does his homework every day.
案:B. Sandy’s mum gave her a new computer.
考查点: 句子成分分析(主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语)。
解析:
A. S (Autumn leaves) + V (turn) + P (brown). (主系表)
B. S (Sandy’s mum) + V (gave) + IO (her) + DO (a new computer). (主谓+间宾+直宾)
C. S (I) + V (found) + O (him) + OC (very interesting). (主谓+宾+宾补)

A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫)pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》)as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?

C. Answer the questions:(回答问题)
One day last month, I was talking to my writer friend Alex about writing. At the end of our conversation, I asked him, “As a writer, you must enjoy writing, right? ”
“Not always, ” he said. He thought for a moment and added, “I enjoy writing when it gives me a sense of pride. ”
“You know, ” Alex went on, “some articles are harder to write than others. Sometimes, I'm not sure if the readers will like my article. I try to write as well as I can. When I finally look at my work, I feel good about myself. ”
Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride. It was a rainy day, and the mountain is famous for its steepness (陡峭). As we looked up at its packs, some of us thought of giving up. “You’ll feel sorry about your decision,” our guide said as he encouraged us to keep going.
Soon, we arrived at “Yaozi Fanshen (鹞子翻身)”. It’s the most famous and challenging attraction on East Peak. We climbed up the almost vertical (垂直的) rock face by pulling at the iron chains. It tired us out. But we felt proud.
We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day. In some places, we even took the steeper way. We found that the more difficult the climb was, the more pride we got.
Some mountains now provide tourists with an easier way up-a ride on an escalator. But just as it is in writing, for some things in our lives, the harder way brings better rewards.
1. What does Alex do? ________________________________________________
2. When did the writer and his friends climb Mount Hua? ______________________________________
3. How did the writer and his friends feel after reaching “Yaozi Fanshen”?_____________ ____________________
4. How many peaks of Mount Hua did the author and his friends climb in the end? ________________________________
5. Do you prefer an easier way or a harder way for mountain climbing? Why?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. He is a writer. /A writer.
2. Ten years ago.
3. Tired but proud.
4. Three peaks. /Three. /3.
5. A harder way. Because the harder way brings better rewards. (言之有理即可。)
导语:本文作者以写作和登山为例,说明生活中越是艰难的挑战,越能带来更大的成就感和回报,强调“付出越多,收获的自豪感越强”。
1. 根据“I was talking to my writer friend Alex about writing.”可知,Alex是一名作家。故填He is a writer. /A writer.
2. 根据“Alex’s answer made me think of a trip ten years ago. My friends and I were halfway up Mount Hua after a short bus ride.”可知,作者和他的朋友大概在十年前爬的华山。故填Ten years ago.
3. 根据“It tired us out. But we felt proud.”可知,作者和朋友们到达“鹞子翻身”之后,感到很累也很自豪。故填Tired but proud.
4. 根据“We finally climbed three peaks of Mount Hua that day.”可知,作者和朋友们爬了华山的三座山峰。故填Three peaks. /Three. /3.
5. 开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。参考答案为A harder way. Because the harder way brings better rewards.
