We didnt really have the money, but we knew how much they meant to her.The night before the concert, she was like a kid at Christmas and couldnt sleep. It was good to see her so happy and excited. She and her boyfriend went together.When they returned after midnight happily with T-shirts, lots of video and pictures, they talked happily about how fantastic they had seen. We knew that the money had been well spent.Still full of excitement from the night before, they decided on the following day to go to the shopping centre on the other side of the city. Later that day when they returned, they came and presented my husband and me with a gift each. On each present were the words “because you are the best mom/dad in the world”. When we asked her why she had bought us gifts, her answer was simply “just because I love you”.She explained she just wanted to show us that she appreciated us. This wasnt something new from our daughter; she had always given us a gift when she wanted to express her feelings, and each gift was always a welcome surprise. It could be anything that wasnt very expensive, but it didnt matter; it was the sentiment behind it that counted.5. We infer that when returning from the night out, the writers daughter felt _.A. terrible B. excited C. disappointed D. interested6. The daughter often expresses her feelings to her parents by _.A. telling them directly B. writing them a cardC. giving them surprises D. buying them presents 7. What can we infer from the passage?A. The writers husband also liked “Link Park” very muchB. The writers daughter didnt have a jobC. The people in the writers family lived a happy life together D. The writer let her daughter do whatever she liked8. What does the underlined word “sentiment” in the last paragraph mean?A. Feelings B. Story C. Happiness D. ActionsCThe Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In its 8-year, 12-album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life.Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartneys biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: They were the first rock band and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums to have their own products. They were ground-breaking in every way, he says.9Why did the Beatles change popular culture? _.ABecause of the suits of the four Liverpool boys.BBecause of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore.CBecause of their albums.DBecause of their different attitude to life.10Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the second paragraph?_.AThe Beatles influenced people at its height in the 1960s.BTheir music Yesterday had never been remastered.CThe entire bands music in a digital makeover will be remastered.DOn September 9, their music came to an end.11What is NOT the reason why their music can endure?_.AThey were the first rock band.BThey were the best one.CThey were the first band to play stadiums and to have their own works.DThey wore special suits.12Whats the main idea of the passage?_.AWhat is the Beatles?BLegendary band stays on top in digital times.CThe origin of the Beatles.DWhy is the Beatles popular with people?DMusic is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere. Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star. Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.13.

It can be the 22 for each child to find their light. I would like to 23 a story about it. For a few years I was 24 with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 25 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 26 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 27 on my lap(大腿部). One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 28 twice while singing the repeating phrase, Oh, yes! Vanessa liked to 29 her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she 30 said or sang a word. One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 31 me in the eyes, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes! I opened my mouth in 32 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart _ 33 _started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 34 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection. Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 35 on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had 36 so many times in our music class. The little girl, 37 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 38 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 39 the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs 40 .21. A. get across B. put away C. take over D. break through22.
