Its located just southwest of the Italian mainland and its the largest Mediterranean island. Controlled by many armies over the centuries, it became the site of Roman and Greek colonies(殖民地). Those cultures remain to this day. As part of the year of Italy in China, an exhibition of Sicilian culture is being held at the National Museum of China from April 29 to June 27. Although they have a rich culture and history, Sicilian people lead a simple life. Living on land with fertile (肥沃的) soil, most of them work in agriculture, fishing and of course tourism. In Sicily, most stores and businesses are closed from one to four in the afternoon. Street become crowded around five as people start to go out and engage in a variety of activities. They may take a walk to the shops, enjoy a pastry (糕点)or just meet up with friends. Food is one of the great pleasures of Sicilian people. There is an old Sicilian saying: “With a contented stomach, your heart is forgiving. With an empty stomach you forgive nothing.” People will go miles out their way to eat fresh seafood, such as tuna(金枪鱼), swordfish(箭鱼) and sardines(沙丁鱼). Pasta (意大利面)is the main food. Each region has its seasonal pasta dishes, and every family cook their own specialty. Bread is common too. As another Sicilian saying goes, “A table without bread is like a day without sunshine.” In Sicily, bread is always freshly baked or bought, and usually twice a day.1.

The best title of this passage might be_.AItalian peopleBItalian cultureCA Sicilian exhibitionDSicilyan Island of ItalyBI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something, “Im awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(路灯柱). This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.5. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.A. she might be recognized B. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing(尴尬的)6. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_.A. began to run B. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accident D. was caught by something7. At the request stop that evening, the girl_.A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people8. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.9. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping_.A. to find people there B. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful thereCThe National GalleryDescription: The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London.

A recent survey shows that 90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the theatreduring operations. Plastic surgeons（整形外科医生）play the most music; it appears that ear, nose, and throat specialists the least.But it isnt only in surgeries(外科手术) where music is popular. In another recent survey, one-third of the 1,613 people said they listen to music while working. And 79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity.Is listening to music at work a good idea? Yes, say the experts. Many surgeons say that music helps to create a “calm atmosphere”, and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored! Also, listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus. Office workers say it improves job satisfaction. Several studies suggest that its also good for hospital patients. Those listening to music through headphones during surgery require less anesthetic（麻醉剂）, up to 50% less in some cases, and recover more quickly afterwards. “Sure, music reduces anxiety before surgery,” says Zeev Kain, an anesthetist at Yale University.So, what type of music should we be listening to? Surgeons from the previous survey preferred rock, pop music and classical. And hip-hop is popular too. However, whatever the kind, it appears that self-selected music is the best choice. Pennsylvania State University research showed that when people chose their own music there was more stress reduction(下降). And other researchers found that when listening to self-selected music, surgeons did the maths faster and more accurately （精确）than when they were listening to music chosen for them.13The underlined word“theatre”in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. a waiting room in a hospital B. a rest room for surgeonsC. an operating room D. a building where shows are performed14The surveys mentioned in the passage show _.A. music is popular in some professionsB. most surgeons in the UK are fond of singingC. office workers learn a lot from listening to musicD. fewer than half of the people listen to music at work1What are the advantages of listening to music at work? _.improving memorykeeping people relaxedimproving job satisfactionimproving eyesightA.B.C.D.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项，选项中有两项为多余选项。As is known to us all, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.
