The health department came and shut down an illegal puppy mill (幼犬繁育场) in the house a few years ago.The house was sold for a rather high price because of the good location of the neighborhood. My husband and I looked into the house at that time and were upset by the scene: black mold (霉菌) growing on the walls; cigarette ends all over the floor; the wall between the garage and the living room completely destroyed by water damage. We couldnt spend more than one second in the house before running away.We thought that it would be a teardown, but the new owners set about cleaning the inside. They worked for months making it safe and livable. After everything was clean and tidy, the owners decided to resell the house for a higher price.Yesterday while I was out in my yard, a potential (潜在的) buyer pulled up and asked me what I could tell her about the history of the house. I just said that I didnt know anything. What is my ethical obligation (道德义务) in this situation? Its possible that they have removed all the awful smells, dangerous mold and that the house is safe and livable. But its also possible that they have just structurally fixed the house and that some unsafe mold will take root in the future. I wouldnt personally live there knowing what I know. But really, its none of my business, and given the choice, I wouldnt talk to anyone about what I know. While it feels like a lie not to answer a direct question, I also feel that its not my place to potentially ruin the sellers business deal. If I am asked again, what should I say?24. What can be learned about the authors neighborhood?A. Its noisy. B. Its messy. C. Its wealthy. D. Its crowded.25. Why did the new owners give the house a thorough cleaning?A. To move into it. B. To get it ready for selling again. C.To please the neighbors. D. To make it match the surrounding area.26. How did the author feel after saying she knew nothing about the houses history?A. Sad. B.Relaxed. C. Troubled. D. Proud.27. Why does the author write the text?A. To ask for advice. B.To offer help. C. To make a complaint. D. To give an explanation.CBullying (欺凌) at school is a problem around the world Most schools have tried to reduce bullying by making more rules. And many schools even have made their teachers supervise (监管) their students behavior more strictly. But one school in Auckland, New Zealand has done something different. Instead of making more rules for the playground, they reduced the number of rules. What happened? Theres less bullying and other injuries.At Swanson Primary School, during playtime, students can play in the mud, climb trees, ride skateboards，and do many such things that arent allowed at other schools. If they promise that they do not hurt others and do not make trouble for their classmates, they can do just about anything they want.“They may accidentally hurt themselves，but thats K,” the teacher Bruce McLachlan says. “We want kids to be safe and we look after them，but we end up wrapping (包裹) them in cotton wool when in fact they should be able to fall over.” Because students are able to do almost anything they want, they are happier. And happier students are less interested in making trouble. That makes parents and teachers happy.Playtime freedom also helps the students learn the dangers of rude behavior. This will help develop the part of their brain that measures risks. This can be helpful when they are older. For example, if a kid does something rude on a skateboard and gets hurt, he or she will be less likely to repeat the rude activity. And if kids learn not to be rude on a skateboard, they are less likely to be hurt later in life when theyre driving cars. Safety is important, but as Swanson Primary School has shown，more rules dont always mean more safety.28. What happened when a school reduced the number of playground rules?A. Less students were bullied or injured. B. Teachers took on more responsibility.C. Students were out of control completely. D. More parents worried about school bully.29. What rule should students obey if they can do something freely at Swanson Primary School?A. They do not make trouble for their teachers. B. Theyre being strictly supervisedC. They study carefully in the classroom. D. They do not hurt anyone else. 30. What does Bruce McLachlan mean by saying “we end up wrapping them in cotton wool”？A. Students get hurt easily. B.Students cant wear what they like. C. Students are overprotected. D. Students are given too much freedom.31. According to the last paragraph, playtime freedom helps students _.A. make safe decisions B.avoid driving cars C. learn how to obey rules D. become more confidentDThere is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music. Many singers or bands know little about what good music means. What is the cause of this rise?Most of these singers have taken music as a “job” because it is a good source of making money. And if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy. They will even forget about the fact that you are there lo show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level.Therefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with music. They choose to wear very provocative (挑逗性的) clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesnt need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent. But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy traveling from one place to another. It is the publics fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music. People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands.However, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice. If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help them improve singing abilities.32. The passage shows that many singers consider music as .A. an art serving the public B. a good way of making moneyC. a way of living fully D. a fashionable lifestyle33. From the passage we can learn that .A. adults should help young people improve their abilitiesB. all people who have received training in singing can become famousC.appearance is the most important thing in the world of musicD. a singers talent and voice are the most important factors34. What do you think of the authors attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands?A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D.Critica35. What kind of article does this passage belong to? A. Sport. B.Entertainment. C. Comment. D. Stoy第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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频。选项中有两项为多余选项。Playing a musical instrument can be a fun and rewarding hobby. Its a good way to express feelings and develop confidence in your abilities. _ 36_ Here are a few questions to help you decide.What kind of music do you like?What you are interested in will encourage you to play. _ 37 _ Traditional orchestra musical instruments are what you hear in classical music. Modem music calls for modem instruments, like electric guitars.Where are you going to practice?_ 38_ Think about where and when you are going to practice, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Some instruments like the guitar give you the chance of playing in the night using earphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Also, you may need to consider going to a school or a music center to practice._ 39 _This is quite a big problem. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges. But this doesnt change the fact that many instruments, such as the piano, are always expensive. If you cant afford your chosen instrument，will you be able to borrow someone elses?Are there any physical limitations?If you are small and dont like lifting heavy objects，you wont want to carry around a cello (大提琴). If you dont have great lung power, think twice about the saxophone. _ 40 _ But remember that with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skills.A. How much money can you spend?B. How easy will it be to find a teacher?C. Dont let your physical shortcomings put you off.D. A piece of music might move you more than another.E. Talk to people who already play musical instruments.F. Practicing the drums, for example, will drive your neighbors crazy.G. If you want to learn a musical instrument, you might face a problem: what to play?第三部分；英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often 41 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.All I knew was that she was an orphan(孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 42 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 43 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.But how could I help her 44 in with us? There had to be a 45 .One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 46 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 47 copy.I was surprised and thought that she would do something in the coming 48 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 49 . “Wow, its wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 50 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just dont have enough 51 . Could you help me, Suzy?”On the day of the talent show, Suzys 52 were everywhere-all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have an 53 award. Im sure youve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 54 them.”I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 55 well?”Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 56 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 57 , too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student- Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artists set. “Thank you,” she cried.I 58 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, shed probably never 59 anything in her whole life.Everyone started to 60 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.41. A. jokedB. trainedC. caredD. worried42.
