Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musiciansJazz was invented in the city a few years before his birthArmstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet （短号） at a boys homeIn his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musicianHe played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi RiverAt that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musiciansArmstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to ChicagoThere, the tale of Louis Armstrong beginsFrom then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he wentArmstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.His cornet playing had a deep humanity （仁爱） and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the worldHis death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.21Armstrong was called Pops because he _.Alooked like a musicianBtraveled to play modern musicCshowed an interest in musicDwas a musician of much influence22.The third paragraph is developed _Aby time Bby example Cby space Dby comparison23Which statement about Armstrong is true?AHis tale begins in New Orleans.BHe was born before jazz was invented.CHis music was popular with his listenersDHe learned popular music at a boys home.24Which would be the best title for the text?AThe Invention of the Jazz Music BThe Father of the Jazz Style.CThe Making of a Musician DThe Spread of Popular Music.BIn order to earn both money and social experience recently , I became a door-to-door salesman. I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they dont, you may be treated as coldly as winter. ” You may consider this an exaggeration (夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct. You would never have found it to be so true if you hadnt been a salesman. You neednt stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you neednt listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you neednt worry about being refused time after time; you neednt always keep patience and a smile; you neednt repeat the same sentences over and over again; you neednt talk to somebody you dislike I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse. Even worse, I hadnt enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time jobNow I dont think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost. Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong negative influences (负面影响) on study. Most students dont view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isnt a must for financial (财政的) reasons, students should be cautious (careful) about taking up a part-time job25From the text, we can tell that the writer is _. Aan unemployed manBa middle-school studentCa college student Da door-to-door salesman 26Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?AlosingBwastingCusingDgetting27In the writers opinion, _. Ato do a part-time job was unnecessaryBpart-time jobs had good effect upon studyCit was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work correctlyDpart-time jobs would be good for every college student28What would be the best title for the text?APart-time Jobs Are Useful BPart-time Jobs Can Cost DearCStudents shouldnt Take Part-time JobsDPart-time Jobs Are Important to Many StudentsCThe British policeman has several nickname（绰号）, but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb “cop” meaning “to take” or “capture”, and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force, An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this name has died out.Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that visitors to Britain, when asked for their views of the country, will always say, at some point or other, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character.A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!29One of the nicknames for the policeman, “peeler”_.Awas sir Robert PeelsBis not used any moreCis most frequently usedDis still used as much as “bobby”30The main idea of the second paragraph is that _.Athe English policemen have become a joke to the visitorsBvisitors to England think the British policemen are wonderfulCvisitors to Britain are very grateful to the policemen for their great helpDthe British policemen tell the visitors about the views of their country31“If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” This means _.Athe British policeman likes to tell the time to the visitorsBmost peoples watches dont go wellCthe British policeman knows the correct timeDthe policemen are friendly and helpful32From the whole passage, we know that _.Athe British policemens nicknames are not used any moreBthe British policemens nicknames are not used very oftenCthe British policemen are always wonderfulDthe British policemen spend a lot of time directing visitors in LondonDWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good jobThis article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.You have to give a speech, and youre terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, its over. Im just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.” Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, youll see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.33The phrase “talk over their heads” means .Aspeak too loudlyBlook at the ceiling Clook down upon them Duse words and ideas that are too difficult 34All of the following statements are true except that .Afew people know how to make good speeches Ba lecturer does not need to organize his speech Cresearch is important in preparing a speech Dthere are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability 35The title for this passage may be “ ”.ADo Not Make a Long SpeechBHow To Give A Good Speech CHow To Prepare For A SpeechDTry To Enjoy A Speech 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。What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 36 We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enoughIn some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle 37 Mental exercise is particularly important for young childrenMany child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about 38 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent39 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish thingsSo it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did” or “ 40 ”AA healthy body contributes to ones intelligenceBParents should also be careful about what they say to young childrenCWhat people want to express is like thisDThe children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligentEIt needs exerciseFYou are such a smart childGThese are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear 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，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。I knew deeply that being a reporter is not easy.
