I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyones life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? Im not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more mon meaning-the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too-in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”21.

They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing bines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.28.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? A. To introduce BookCrossing. B.

Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B.Electronic Books: A new Trend C.A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD.A Website Links People through BooksDWhen we perceive other people，we seldom describe a person in cold and objective wordsShe was 5 feet 8 inches tall，had fair hair，and wore a colored skirtMore often，we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes，emotions，motivations，abilities，ideas and charactersFurthermore，we sometimes behave as if we can acplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance We try to obtain information about others in many waysSocial scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others：watching，without being noticed，a person interacting with others，particularly with others who are known to you so you can pare the observed persons behavior with the known others behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for；deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the persons responses to specific stimuli（刺激）；asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her；and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person：questions，self-disclosures（自我表露），and so on Getting to know someone is a never-ending task，largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often impreciseYou may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about himIf we accept the idea that we wont ever fully know another person，it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and description. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behaviorIronically those things that keep us from knowing another person too well （e.g. secrets and deceptions） may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enables us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person （e.g. disclosure and truthful statements.） 32.The word pinpoint（in 1st para）is closest in meaning to _ A. appreciate B. identify C. obtain D. interpret 33What do we learn from the first paragraph？ _ A.

It is difficult to describe a person in words34.The authors purpose in writing the passage is to _ A. discuss the various aspects of getting to know people B. provide ways of how to obtain information about people C. warn readers of the negative side of peoples characters D. give advice on appropriate behaviors for social occasions35.It can be inferred from Bergers suggestions that _ A. people do not reveal their true self on every occasion B. the best way to know a person is by making parisons C. in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly D. face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person 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。While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind，were often told that money cant buy happinessBut what truth is there in the saying？Is there a relation between money and happiness？（36） _ Humans are very sensitive to changeWhen we get a rise，we really enjoy itBut some studies have shown that in North America，additional ine beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness（37） _ They often end up spending all the money，going into debt，and experience ruined social relationships So surely money cant really buy happinessWell，recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money（38） _ Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happierAs for the people who spend money on themselves，their happiness is unchanged 39） _ One experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity，dividing the amount up among employees，allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice，increased their job satisfactionSimilarly，individuals that spend money on each other，as opposed to themselves，not only increase job satisfaction，but improve the team performance 40）_ Interestingly，the specific way money is spent on others isnt importantSpending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.
