One night in 1966, Michael Chapman rushed into a folk-music club in Cornwall, England to get out of the rain, and soon found himself onstage playing the guitar.
“They offered me a job to play for the rest of the summer. And I’ve been playing ever since,” Chapman says. “I’ve told that story so many times, but it’s absolutely true. If it hadn’t been raining that night, I wouldn’t be talking to you.”
The British guitar player has spent the 50 years since then on the road. He released(发行) some praised albums in the 1970s, but his health went downhill in the 80s and 90s. Like a lot of British artists in the 1960s, Chapman taught himself to play the guitar by listening to American jazz and blues records.
Chapman actually taught photography, but quit when he was 26 to play music full time. When he was starting out, he was often compared to other British acoustic(原声的) guitar heroes of the time, like John Martyn and Bert Jansch.
“The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn’t fit in with those guys of his generation,” says Andrew Male, a music journalist. “He’s always been an outsider. He never moved to London.”
And while he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians. “The 70s caught up with him in the 80s,” Male says. “He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off. When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had forgotten about him.”
But not everyone. A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gunn, recently rediscovered Chapman.
“We wanted to capture Michael’s voice and character where he is now. You know, it’s a little road-weary, but he still has it,” Gunn says. “For me, it was really important to get that right,” “He’s the right old musician for present times,”Male says. “I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we’re at.”
4. What word can best describe Michael Chapman's first involvement in music?
A. Untrue. B. Accidental. C. Unfortunate. D. Reasonable.
5. What can we learn about the British guitarist John Martyn from the text?
A. He used to teach photography full time.
B. He cannot get along well with other musicians.
C. He may be very familiar with American jazz and blues.
D. He may be one of the best guitar players in the early 90s.
6. Why did Michael Chapman quit his music career once?
A. He lost his special voice.
B. He suffered from a severe heart attack.
C. He got tired of competing with others.
D. He was almost forgotten by everyone.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Rise and Fall of Guitar Music
B. The Sad Story of a Guitar Musician
C. A New Generation Helps an Old Guitar Musician
D. A Guitar Musician's Back with the Help of a New Generation
C
A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, those of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally (故意地).
Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is lying on purpose, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when adults talk with non-fluent language users, such as little kids. Broaders said, “As hand movements can express meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases, it certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.
8. What can we know about gestures from the text?
A. They are rarely used by people.
B. They are often used by social workers.
C. They have not any function at all.
D. They have certain effect on children.
9. Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?
A. Children are easy to tell lies.
B. These gestures are very attractive.
C. Their memories are affected easily.
D. These gestures are used frequently.
10. Which may cause a wrong reply according to the text?
A. Where are you going, Lucy?
B. Did you cheat in the last English examination?
C. Did you see anything else last night?
D. What will you have for lunch?
11. When talking with little kids, what are adults supposed to do?
A. To ask less open-ended questions.
B. To use familiar words and phrases.
C. To use gestures carefully.
D. To ask detailed questions.

Agassi was very emotional at the end of his final game. On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.
“The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what I’ve found,” Agassi said to the fans. “I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed.” It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career. Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆者). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat(吐口水) at an umpire(裁判). Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences.
Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, “I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you.”
The turning point in Agassi's career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam(大满贯赛事) at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: “Winning is a test of nerves and not just power; it’s a marathon, not a sprint(短跑)”.
And a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he was ranked No.1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn’t quit though. “I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise,” he said. “That never stopped.”
12. Why was Agassi very emotional when saying goodbye to his career?
A. Because he lost to a player ten years older than him.
B. Because he felt very sad that he was no longer the best player.
C. Because this career has brought him so much.
D. Because he felt sorry for his wild lifestyle.
13. What can we learn from Agassi's speech?
A. He was thankful to his fans.
B. He refused to accept failure.
C. He wished he hadn't hated tennis when young.
D. He decided to take marathon as his new career.
14. What did Agassi learn through winning?
A. He didn't try his best in his career.
B. It must take a long time for anyone to win.
C. People need to never give up to win.
D. Winning once or twice is not enough.
15. What can be inferred about Agassi's father from the text?
A. He was an excellent tennis player.
B. He was good at raising Agassi.
C. He played a key role in Agassi choosing his career.
D. He spent most of his time training his son.

Ways Your Cell Phone Affects Your Body and Mind
First, some good news. Your phone can keep you safer. A study found that 137 more lives were saved per 100,000 patients when people called 911 from a mobile phone rather than from a fixed one.
16
Scanning your phone right before bed can cause sleep disorder. To avoid that, make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes.
17 People now spend more than five hours a day typing and tapping, and feel eyes achy. About 60 percent of Americans experience discomfort, such as dryness, eye tiredness, and even headaches. Try taking a break from screens every 20 minutes.
When you are awake, a single sound on your phone can signal the coming news. However, this can weaken your ability to focus on a task. 18 It can even encourage creative ideas when you are alone. When you're bored, four different areas of your brain become active and work together to pull in thoughts and combine them in unique ways.
Memory suffers too. 19 Instead of relying on the instructions from your phone’s GPS, older adults choose the old way, which increases activity in a part of the brain important for memory. Taking pictures with your phone may also harm your memory.
It would be easy to avoid all these problems by simply putting down your phone. The problem: It isn’t so easy. 20 And researches have proved this real. Of course, there are many phone apps to help you control your phone addiction. Or you can just let the battery rundown and forget about it!
A. But there are plenty of worries too.
B. Your phone can do damage to your eyes.
C. Silence your phone or simply put it away can help.
D. Walking with your face in your phone can be dangerous.
E. People may feel painful when separated from their phones.
F. Your hand may feel painful when you hold your phone too long.
G. Using a map and trying to remember it may be better for your brain.

“China is at the center of many developments. 36 is important for our next generation to understand China’s culture and to also be able to work 37 (use) the Chinese language,”says Joan Deslandes, head teacher of Kingsford Community School in East London.
She 38 (make) the comments at the prize-giving ceremony for the winners of the Chinese Proficiency Competition—“Chinese Bridge”. In total, 39 (near) 500 British students took part in the two competitions 40 (hold) earlier this year online.
“But more important is that China has a wonderful history and culture that is unknown
41 many of the young people in the UK. I feel it will be good to their development if they learn the language,” she says.
In 2000, Kingsford became the 42 (one) school in Britain to introduce Chinese language courses into its curriculum.
Present at the event were around 140 students and teachers from 17 schools 43 put on performances on the stage, including Chinese songs, 44 (tradition) dances and musical instruments.
“China is playing 45 important role on the international stage. Our children need to be equipped(具备) with all the skills, including language and cultural understanding, to be able to stay connected as they grow up,” says Suzanne Haigh, head teacher at Kensington Wade.

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。
I should have been born with my fingers permanently glued to a keyboard. Since I was five, I've known that I want to be a professional writer: a journalist, a novelist, a modern-day Shakespeare, maybe. In my freshman year I tried to figure out what A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar were about. Macbeth was much easier to understand in my sophomore year(大二年级).
However, I’m practically addicted to books, whether I'm reading or writing them. I can’t go a single day without writing something. I have made it a rule to pick up a pen and just let my thoughts out every day.
I can be inspired by anything: an expression, a song and a movie. Once I get inspired, it’s like the wheels turning faster and faster as I think out one possible story after another.
My family is so widespread that whenever I meet with a cousin or an aunt I only vaguely(模糊地) remember; I tell him or her I'm a writer because I know it will distinguish me from all the other kids in the family and make me memorable. I told my relatives about the stories I used to write as a child, the projects I’m working on now, and why I’m working so hard to make a breakthrough in the competitive world of publishing. One aunt hugged me and told me, “Just don't forget about the rest of us when you become the next J. K. Rowling.”
Smiling, I replied, “Don't worry, I won’t.” I am confident that I will become the next J. K. Rowling. I have the ambition, the means, and the talent. My English and history teachers don't praise my writing and tell me I have an innate(与生俱来的) writing talent even though they know how passionate I am about writing, and how that passion slips through my fingertips to the paper.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I do really know why I love writing so much. _____________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world since I can't sing to create a great work of art. _________________________________________________________________________________

【参考范文】
I do really know why I love writing so much. I just do. I always feel that there is something in my mind about putting a story down on paper for friends across the globe to read and understand, and about finding just the right words to describe what I can see so clearly in my head, which attracts me like a beautiful song. Writing makes me who I am. Through writing I have found true happiness.
Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world since I can’t sing to create a great work of art. Although I am a pretty good actor, acting doesn’t seem like the right path for me, so I’ve chosen writing to make a breakthrough in this world. I am a novelist, journalist and graduate of Columbia University. How nice it sounds!

Ways Your Cell Phone Affects Your Body and Mind
First, some good news. Your phone can keep you safer. A study found that 137 more lives were saved per 100,000 patients when people called 911 from a mobile phone rather than from a fixed one.
16
Scanning your phone right before bed can cause sleep disorder. To avoid that, make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes.
17 People now spend more than five hours a day typing and tapping, and feel eyes achy. About 60 percent of Americans experience discomfort, such as dryness, eye tiredness, and even headaches. Try taking a break from screens every 20 minutes.
When you are awake, a single sound on your phone can signal the coming news. However, this can weaken your ability to focus on a task. 18 It can even encourage creative ideas when you are alone. When you're bored, four different areas of your brain become active and work together to pull in thoughts and combine them in unique ways.
Memory suffers too. 19 Instead of relying on the instructions from your phone’s GPS, older adults choose the old way, which increases activity in a part of the brain important for memory. Taking pictures with your phone may also harm your memory.
It would be easy to avoid all these problems by simply putting down your phone. The problem: It isn’t so easy. 20 And researches have proved this real. Of course, there are many phone apps to help you control your phone addiction. Or you can just let the battery rundown and forget about it!
A. But there are plenty of worries too.
B. Your phone can do damage to your eyes.
C. Silence your phone or simply put it away can help.
D. Walking with your face in your phone can be dangerous.
E. People may feel painful when separated from their phones.
F. Your hand may feel painful when you hold your phone too long.
G. Using a map and trying to remember it may be better for your brain.

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。
I should have been born with my fingers permanently glued to a keyboard. Since I was five, I've known that I want to be a professional writer: a journalist, a novelist, a modern-day Shakespeare, maybe. In my freshman year I tried to figure out what A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar were about. Macbeth was much easier to understand in my sophomore year(大二年级).
However, I’m practically addicted to books, whether I'm reading or writing them. I can’t go a single day without writing something. I have made it a rule to pick up a pen and just let my thoughts out every day.
I can be inspired by anything: an expression, a song and a movie. Once I get inspired, it’s like the wheels turning faster and faster as I think out one possible story after another.
My family is so widespread that whenever I meet with a cousin or an aunt I only vaguely(模糊地) remember; I tell him or her I'm a writer because I know it will distinguish me from all the other kids in the family and make me memorable. I told my relatives about the stories I used to write as a child, the projects I’m working on now, and why I’m working so hard to make a breakthrough in the competitive world of publishing. One aunt hugged me and told me, “Just don't forget about the rest of us when you become the next J. K. Rowling.”
Smiling, I replied, “Don't worry, I won’t.” I am confident that I will become the next J. K. Rowling. I have the ambition, the means, and the talent. My English and history teachers don't praise my writing and tell me I have an innate(与生俱来的) writing talent even though they know how passionate I am about writing, and how that passion slips through my fingertips to the paper.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I do really know why I love writing so much. _____________________________________

Maybe I just want to leave my mark on the world since I can't sing to create a great work of art. _________________________________________________________________________________
