Born in the small town of Lajatico,Italy,Bocelli suffered from serious eye problems from a young age,and a football accident eventually caused him to lose his sight completely.However,he never gave up his dream of becoming a musician.He trained under famous teachers,performed in local theaters,and turned his blindness into a strength that deepened his connection to music. In 1992,Bocelli's big break came when Italian rock star Zucchero Fornaciari invited him to sing for the song Miserere.The collaboration was a turning point in his career.The song became a smash in Europe and earned him a lot of fans. What set Bocelli apart from many other classical singers was that he was able to combine pop music with opera and make his audience relate to his music.His 1997 album Romanza became one of the best-selling albums of all time and his career took off in ways that no opera singers had experienced before.Bocelli brought opera to ordinary people.His music touched listeners from all walks of life-from art lovers to blue-collar workers. Moreover,Bocelli devoted himself to charity.His foundation,the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF),was established in 2011 with the goal of fighting poverty and social isolation through the power of music and education. The foundation has provided scholarships,supported medical care,and funded music programs for poor children around the world. 24.Which of the following words can describe Bocelli? A.Brave and humorous B.Proud and independent C.Creative and careful. D.Determined and generous 25.What does the underlined word"smash in paragraph 3 mean? A.A great success. B.A sudden attack C.A serious failure. D.A new trend. 26.What makes Bocelli a unique singer? A.His disability and courage. B.His international fame. C.His contributions to charity D.His creativity and musical ability. 27.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To share an inspiring life story. B.To show a singer's love for music C.To compare opera and pop music. D.To promote a charity foundation. C When we are young,we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals.We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful.As we get older,however,we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals.In fact,the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with:the mosquito. While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters,this is not actually the case.Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,female mosquitoes feed on animal blood.When a female mosquito bites a human being,it 第4页共10页 transmits ()saliva into the blood.This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease.The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life,it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily.More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year.At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households,mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten.Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats,birds,dragonflies,and certain kinds of fish.Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area.This is a natural solution,but it does not always work very well.Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays.But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger,more powerful animals,they are far more dangerous to human beings.But things are changing.It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 28.Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A.To compare different animals. B.To lead into the topic about mosquitoes C.To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D.To show people's misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 29.What can we learn about mosquitoes? A.Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans B.The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases C.Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D.More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 30.What's paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B.Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C.There is no perfect solution to the mosquito problem. D.Mosquitoes'natural enemies could protect human beings 31.What's the author's attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Unclear. D.Disapproving D Is boredom a thing of the past,like black-and-white television?And,if so,is that a good thing?Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools,thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today's children,and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective. "We should not fear boredom."said Julie Robinson."Boredom is valuable to children.Quiet,reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,she added. Her opinion is that constant activity for a child,often the result of the dreams of parents,will lead to concerned and worrying adult.The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the 第5页共10页 development of their imagination.So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored.They seek an electronic device to play games at once.And we didn't feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient"Are we there yet?"because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom.So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it's not just children who need lessons in reflection.Adults need that,too.On my train journey to work this morning,I couldn't see a single person who wasn't using an electronic device.No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views.Not time for quiet thinking,even in the quiet library.There were emails to send,texts to read,and games to play.The wider world,seemingly,didn't exist.The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives,and has developed an inability-among adults as well as children-to live in the present.What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon:the fear of"inactivity".And she is right. 32.What is the benefit that boredom provides for children according to Julie Robinson? A.improve the ability to learn knowledge B.find effective solutions to social problems C.communicate more with their parents and friends D.have time to think and have their imagination developed 33.Which of the following is seen as"inactivity"according to the last paragraph? A.Sending emails on a train B.Playing games with friends. C.Planning constant activity for children D.Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 34.What is the purpose of the author's description of the train journey? A.people had too much work to do B.the trip on a quiet train was very boring C.the view of the countryside was beautiful D.electronic devices influence people's life greatly 35.What's the main idea of the passage? A.The problem of people's fear of boredom. B.The negative impacts of electronic devices on adults. C.The importance of preventing children from being bored. D.The ways to encourage children's imagination development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Advertise School Clubs Are you starting a new club and need more members?You'll need to advertise in different ways to get people to join.36.

W:Yes.It made me want to travel into space in the future. [Text 8]M:How do you like this painting?Look at all these strange lines and colors. W:Yeah,it doesn't aim to show real things.Instead,it focuses more on feelings rather than figures or an exact scene. M:Really?It just looks disorganized to me. W:It might seem that way,but look at the colors.The blues and greens create a calm environment, don't you think? M:Now that you mention it,yes,it does feel kind of peaceful. W:Exactly.And see those red lines?They add something unusual that goes against the calm. M:Oh,I get it now.It's like the artist wants to show that even in peaceful moments,there can be some stress [Text 9]W:Mom and Dad told me you did something really good last weekend.What was it, Gary? M:It was a clean-up activity near the river W:What did you do? M:We picked up litter and cleared out some unwanted plants.It was hard work,but I really enjoyed it.It felt good to see our city looking cleaner and more beautiful. W:I've always wanted to do something like that.Was it hard to volunteer? M:Not really.I just signed up online,and the organizer emailed me all the details.I met lots of friendly people,too. W:Would you do it again? M:Definitely.I learned a lot about how litter has an impact on animals.We humans hurt them without even realizing it. W:That's bad.I'll go and volunteer with you next time. M:That'd be great,Emma.We can also make posters to tell others about it in our community.I'm sure some neighbors would be up for lending a hand. [Text 10]This is your school's director,Mr.Yu.I hope you've had a great summer.I haven't seen many ofyou since before last spring's exams and the senior graduation!Today is the first page of a new story School sometimes feels like just tests and marks,but it's so much more than that.It's about discovering what lights you up,learning from those around you,and figuring out who you are. The main challenge for all of you this year is to stay open-minded.Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone(舒适区)， To help with that,we're making some changes.You'll still have group activities,tests,and study periods.But now,we're adding more projects where students can work alone.Through these,you can find out what you're really into.These projects are your chances to take the lead in your own learning.It might also give you an idea of what you want to study in university later. That's all from me.Next,some excellent teachers will share their plans for your new term.
