I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old.
As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was finally done I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out (找到) the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write.
After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the internet. Years later, I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers, whether we put pen to paper or not.
With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story.
41. Why did the author start writing?
A. He wanted to try writing thrillers.
B. He wanted to express his own ideas.
C. He thought it would be easy after reading so much.
D. He wanted to inspire others with his reading experience.
42. What can we know about the author’s writing career?
A. It was lucky but short.
B. It was busy and lonely.
C. He like writing but he gave it up.
D. He pushed forward with his writing.
43. After publishing his works, the author________.
A. felt writing had improved him
B. encouraged others to put pen to paper
C. often thought about the choices he made
D. used social media to spread his influence
44. What can we know from the last paragraph?

C. We will become a better person by writing.

America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand,because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,extending(延伸)sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客)easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives,they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes,we,as hosts,will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes thanto go to restaurants,except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at,home!.
46. The writer of this passage must be______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student

A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
49. The underlined words"generous with our time"in Paragraph 3 probably mean_____.

50. A suitable title for this passage would probably be"_____".
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans' hospitality
D. Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships
D
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.
51. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2?
A. Reduce. B. Improve. C. Understand. D. Influence.
52. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”?
A. It is most likely to be ineffective.
B. It was first presented by Mozart.
C. It helps parents take good care of their children.
D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention.
53. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show?
A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C. Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning.
D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的).
54. How did the researchers carry out the new study?
A. They did 54 small studies in all.
B. They observed children in music classes.
C. They examined plenty of previous research.
D. They did a long-term survey of musical students.
55. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph?
A. Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying.

B
I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old.
As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out (找到) the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write.
After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the internet. Years later, I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers, whether we put pen to paper or not.
With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story.
41. Why did the author start writing?
A. He wanted to try writing thrillers.
B. He wanted to express his own ideas.
C. He thought it would be easy after reading so much.
D. He wanted to inspire others with his reading experience.
42. What can we know about the author’s writing career?
A It was lucky but short.
B. It was busy and lonely.
C. He like writing but he gave it up.
D. He pushed forward with his writing.
43. After publishing his works, the author________.
A. felt writing had improved him
B. encouraged others to put pen to paper
C. often thought about the choices he made
D. used social media to spread his influence
44. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. We will think twice before writing and action.
B. We will make wise choice by writing articles.
C. We will become a better person by writing.
D. We are all the authors of our own lives.
45. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Hardworking. B. Cooperative.
C. Humorous. D. Outgoing.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. D 45. A

America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand,because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,extending(延伸)sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客)easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives,they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes,we,as hosts,will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes thanto go to restaurants,except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at,home!.
46. The writer of this passage must be______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
48. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be_______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
49. The underlined words"generous with our time"in Paragraph 3 probably mean_____.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
50. A suitable title for this passage would probably be"_____".
A. Friendships between Chinese

C. Americans' hospitality
D. Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. B 50. D

【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand”(这样的事情对我们中国人来说很难理解。)对我们中国人来说很难理解,说明我是一个中国人。故选B。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.”(如果这两个人偶然再次相遇,即使多年以后,他们也会拾起这份友谊。)说明美国人在很久以后再次遇见,还会继续做朋友,故选D。

【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change......This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand”(美国是一个流动社会。美国人之间的友谊可以是亲密而真实的,但如果情况发生变化,友谊很快就会消失......这对我们中国人来说是很难理解的.)以及第三段“Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand (这是我们中国人理解的另一个难点),可知本文主要比较了美国人对待友谊和中国人对待友谊的差别和持有的不同观点。所以“美国和中国人对待友谊的看法”最切题。故选D。

A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.

(但是,上音乐课和听音乐肯定不同吗?上音乐课难道不会让孩子们变得更聪明吗?这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出的结论是确实如此,而一些研究发现事实并非如此。)”可知,该段所列举的例子是为了说明学习音乐会让一个孩子变得更聪明的论点具有争议性。故选D项。

So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. (音乐课本可以在不同方面起到帮助作用:它们可以改变家庭作业习惯,增强信心,或者提高社交技能。最后,他们还提到,如果音乐与这些课程相结合,音乐教育仍然对学生在非音乐科目上的表现非常有益。所以,请继续创作音乐,并鼓励孩子们学习音乐。)”可知,新研究表明,虽然学习音乐并不会让一个孩子更聪明,但是可以提升孩子的多种能力,所以还是应该鼓励孩子学音乐。故选A项。
