For example, the British say “I have to go back now”， while Americans say “Ive got to go back now”M: Are there any differences in spelling?W: Yeah. For example, “color” is often spelt colour in British English.Text 5W: Hi, Lin Feng. Long time no see. How are you getting along with your English recently?M: Hi, Linda. Ive been learning English with an American teachers help. He told me to listen to the VOA every day, and Ive made great progress.W: Congratulations.Text 6M: I give up! I simply cant learn English. I try and try but dont make any progress.W: I know its hard, but maybe itll help if we spend more time practising together.M: Thats a good idea. But what kind of practice can we try?W: Well, why dont we practise these dialogues together?M: Thats a good idea. It might improve our spoken English.W: Sure.Text 7W: Excuse me, Mr. Benson.

Ive got to finish my composition too.W: Thanks for your help. Im much more relaxed now and once I get organized, it wont be so difficult.Text 10W: Well, I suppose the schooling system in America and England is not quite the same way I would imagine.

Its a voluntary thing.W: At five, yes.M: I actually went to a state primary school and I started just after my fifth birthday, um. you know most people start at five and then they can leave when theyre sixteen, I actually stayed on until I was eighteen.W: So, basically its more or less the same starting age. But, er. when do you finish in the States?M: Well, we finish, er. you can go to school, most people finish high school. But you can actually leave school legally at the end of the tenth grade which is about sixteen. when youre sixteen.W: So, more or less actually the same thing. And, er. as far as examinations are concerned, I mean, is it, um. I think its very different, isnt it?M: Well, exams are not quite the same. We dont have as many exams in America as they do in Britain.答案：15BACAC610AACAB1115CBABC1620BCACB第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。A Stayathome kids are named “generation nini” in Spain. They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying. But the problem is by no means limited to Spain. It is a worldwide problem. In Italy, they are known as “bamboccioni” or big babies. There nearly 60 percent of 1834yearold adults still live in their parents home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983. Once kept there by the love for their mamas homecooked food, the economic crisis has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own. Last year, an Italian government minister admitted that his mother washed his clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30. He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents. In the UK, the government has made the term NEETSnot in employment, education or training for these children. In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 1924 surged to 18.8 percent of the age groupin the last quarter of 2010, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before. The number of British men in their 20s living with their parents has risen from 59 percent to 80 percent in the past 15 years, while the number of women has risen from 41 percent to 50 percent. The average age of the firsttime house buyers is now 38. In the US, the problem is known as the “full nest syndrome (综合症)”. Adults there are left struggling to support adult children who have stayed at home with student debts and facing few job opportunities in a weak economy. A recent study showed almost a third of American adults aged 34 and under are living with their parents.【文章大意】越来越多的成年孩子住在父母家里，这种现象在全世界都很普遍。21“Big babies” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refer to those adults who _.A. are poorly educatedB. are not as smart as othersC. lose their job in the bad economyD. rely on their parents for a living解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“They are those adults who still live at home and are neither working nor studying.”可知这些成年孩子是无收入来源、依靠父母生存的人。答案：D22The Italian government minister thinks that _.A. parents should make their children feel hopelessB. young people should live on their own after 18C. parents should never make the bed for their childrenD. it is OK for adult children to live with their parents解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.”可知应选B。答案：B23The underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_”A. jumpedB. reducedC. recovered D. moved解析：词义猜测题。根据后面的“up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before”可知这里是指激增到了18.8%。答案：A24What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Some American adult children are a burden to their parents.B. American parents are happy to live with their children.C. America has the most adult children compared with other countries.D. It is a tradition for adult children to live with their parents in America.解析：推理判断题。根据末段的“Adults there are left struggling to support adult children”可知这些无收入来源的成年孩子成了父母的负担。答案：AB Think for a moment about the last music CD you bought. Most likely, you can remember the names of the singers who sang the songs that made you want to buy the CD. You may even know the names of some of the performers who played the musical instruments. Those performers, however, are only some of the people who made the music. Most people in the music industry work “behind the scenes”， and the roles they play in the music process (过程) are very important.Songwriters Before a song comes out, a songwriter must imagine it. Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams combine the talents of songwriters and composers. Pop music legend Elton Johns bestknown songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to go with the lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, whose name you may not know.Arrangers After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more attractive by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and whether the song should have a low or high pitch (音调) Recording engineers Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio and the room where the performers play. Next, they use recorders to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have gone home, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the sound of each musician. Many people make a living by making music. You may not know all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love.【文章大意】当你听到一首歌时，第一个想到的一般会是演唱者，或许你还知道一些乐器演奏家的名字。但是你知道吗？一首歌的诞生包含着许多幕后工作者的辛劳。25Why does the author mention Elton John and Bernie Taupin?ATo compare their functions in creating a song.BTo give an example of a songwriting team.CTo explain how a songwriting team works.DTo show the advantage of teamwork.解析：细节理解题。根据文中Songwriters这一部分的内容可知，作者提到Elton John和Bernie Taupin是举一个写歌团队的例子。答案：B26Music arrangers decide all of the following EXCEPT _.Athe instrumentsBthe songs speedCthe songs pitchDthe songs name解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知，编曲的工作包括决定歌曲所使用的乐器、歌曲速度以及歌曲的音调。D项所讲的不是编曲的工作。答案：D27What is the last step of a music process?ABalancing the sound of each musician.BRecording the music with recorders.CSetting up the recording studio.DMaking music CDs.解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“Finally. to balance the sound of each musician.”可知，制作音乐的最后一步是平衡声音。答案：ACFor five days, Edmontons Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and thats the traditional togetherness (友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation，” Riedel said. “Its really easy to relax, and its great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyones musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a welloiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan，its easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lockup area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金) concert，and will finish up on Sunday，Aug. 8.28The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to _.A. gather people with different musical tastesB. remind people of the real sense of folk musicC. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk musicD. collect old stories of folk music解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句可知，该音乐节纪念民间音乐的真实情感，这是人们聚集在一起通过音乐分享故事或情感的那种传统友爱，故选B项。答案：B29Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years.B. Its hard for people to appreciate Blues.C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations.D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.解析：判断正误题。根据文章第二段第一句可知，里德尔之前自愿参加该音乐节至少有5年，A项正确。答案：A30We can learn from the passage that _.A. people can get tickets easily for the festivalB. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is well organizedC. driving ones own car to the festival is highly recommendedD. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段及第四段的叙述可知。该音乐节组织得很好，主办方考虑得很周详，故选B项。答案：B31What would be the best title for this passage?A. Folk Music of BluesB. One Festival for AllC. Festival for Family GatheringD. Edmontons Downtown Park解析：主旨归纳题。文章介绍的是一次适合所有音乐爱好者的民间音乐节，故B项为本文的最佳标题。答案：BDFor years I wanted a flower garden. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much，and Id have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money_doesnt_grow_on_trees，you know.”Finally，all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden. I wasnt sure，though，I mean，gardens do cost money.Then, one spring morning, on Mothers Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.There was a money tree in my yard! It was true! There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree. There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time.
