i could use jeffs. he wont mind.”it was true that jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. but would he mind? the room was the place where i told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. as close as we were, though, the time came when jeff needed a door between us. his life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. i no longer could-or-should know everything about him.it turned out that getting jeffs permission was easy. he said, “of course, mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” then his voice softened, “mum, i wont be living at home again you know that.” behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. there were no doors closed here they had all opened up again.as john and i were cleaning the room, i fixed my eyes on jeffs things around me and could almost touch the little boy i knew was gone forever. i looked at the room and, in my heart, i let it go. to hold on would be, as jeff said, selfish. now it was time for john, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. it was time for letting go to happen again. 5. the underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “_”.a. jeff needed his right to privacy b. jeff finally flew out of the housec. jeff got tired of those familiar stories d. jeff would have less to do with his family6. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. john was moving to live with his brother. b. john was eager to get a room of his own.c. jeff volunteered to give his room to john. d. jeff refused to let his brother have his room.7. how did the author feel about her childrens sense of independence?a. delighted. b. jealous. c. mixed. d. embarrassed.8. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. the children did not like to live with adults b. all her three kids made the author feel depressedc. none of the members in the family thought the same wayd. the author loved and missed the time together with her kidschave you ever found yourself in this situation: you hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. but it is not a distant childhood memory. the words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. researchers at the university of edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. they found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages. here is what they did. researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. researchers had one group simply speak the words. they had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. and they asked the third group to sing the words. all three groups studied words from the hungarian language for 15 minutes. then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered. why hungarian, you ask? researchers said they chose hungarian because not many people know the language. it does not share any roots with germanic or romance languages, such as italian or spanish. after the tests were over, the singers came out on top. the people who learned these new hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. they did the best in four out of five of the tests. they also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them. dr. katie overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. the brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5. dr. ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. on the university of edinburghs website dr. ludke writes, “this study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”9. the “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to_. a. recall the past b. attract the readers c. introduce the topic d. compare the childhood with the present10. according to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with germanic or romance languages? a. hungarian b. spanish c. italian d. english11. based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _ a. singing is the best way to learn a language. b. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words. c. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner. d. dr. katie overy and dr. ludke disagree with each other.12. in which situation can the finding of the research be applied? a. a mother is going to teach her baby how to speak. b. a child is going to have his first music lesson. c. a student is going to learn a new english song. d. an american is going to learn some chinese.dif you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and its not just overcrowded subway trains.vicky zhao is a mainlander working in hong kong. for her, one thing she cant put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations. “escalators help us move faster and save time. it isnt a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “i often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. it annoys me to no end.”admitting she is not the patient type, zhao says things are much better in hong kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.the logic behind the “stand right, walk left”escalatoretiquette(礼仪)seems obvious. even though you may want to catch your breath while youre transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.many cities escalators, including londons and beijings, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people. (australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) but some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. in hong kongs subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. even so, most people in thisfast-paced cityobserve the “stand right, walk left”etiquette.but the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. the bbc quotes one stander as saying: “if the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? even when theescalatoris packed and theres nowhere to move, i see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.”whatever theescalatoretiquetteis in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, dontstayat the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.13. in the second paragraph, the underlined word “it” refers to_.a. the authors living in the big city of hong kong. b. being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours.c. peoples blocking the way or chat on the escalators. d. peoples standing on the right side resting.14. when on the escalator, a majority of local people in hong kong_.a. stand still as the railway stations require. b. ignore the “ stand right, walk left” signsc. use the stairs instead of escalators. d. follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.15. which of the following statements is the writers opinion?a. people should stand right no matter where they are.b. people should do as the romans do and consider others.c. people should do as they like on the escalators.d. people should be seriously criticized when they block the way.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。 using a cellphone to improve your englishwhen students think of learning a foreign language, the first thought is books, exercises,
