began to play the piano at 3. by the age of 5, he had won fist place in shenyangs piano competition and performed his first public recital(独奏会). people were shocked by his perfect performance and thought he was a real talent. from that time on, playing on the global stage became the dream of lang lang and his parents.to help him much closer to his dream, when lang was 9, his father quit his job and went with lang to beijing to help his son study piano. there, lang did not receive the praise that he had received at home, and he experienced the hardest time of his life. “i was kicked out of the class by my piano teacher six months later. it totally destroyed my piano dream,” lang said in an interview. hearing of his sons failure, langs father was so angry and upset that he told lang lang to go back to shenyang. feeling hopeless and in pain, lang tried to damage his fingers. he hated piano!luckily, another teacher noticed langs sadness and encouraged him. success came soon. langs

is the only planet that scientists think has life. why does the earth have life while the other planets dont? for one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. as the third planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. the planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake in the sun. the farthest planets are cold balls.when the earth developed which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago many gases covered the earth. the gases caused the earth to be hot. but something wonderful happened. the temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. it rained very hard for a very long time. this gave the earth its oceans. water made it possible for plants to grow. the plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. that planet is mars. mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. but it is not too cold for humans. on some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern united states. if you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on mars. you would have to bring your own air to breathe, the air on mars is too thin to breathe.mars has the largest volcano (火山) in the solar system. it is sixteen miles high. the highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. the most unexpected sight on mars is dried up river beds. scientists believe that mars was once much better than it is now. does this mean there could have been living things on mars? scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.29. which of the following is not the reason that the earth has life?a. the earth is just the right temperature.b. the volcanos on earth are lower than those on mars.c. there is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.d. the earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.30. the underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refers to _.a. the sun b. the moon c. the earth d. the mars31which of the following about the mars is not true?a. there could have been living things on mars.b. mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.c. there is almost no oxygen in the air on mars.d. mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.dforty years ago, finland was a small country with mediocre（普通）public schools. today, finland is still small but no one calls finlands public schools mediocre any more.in 2000, the finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the pisa. finland has stayed near the top ever since, while the u.s. scores around the middle.pasi sahlberg, an official with finlands ministry of education and culture, is in seattle this week to share the story of finlands success, and what states like washington can learn from it. sahlbergs message, although he is too polite to put it so bluntly（坦率）: stop testing so much, trust teachers more; give less homework; shorten the school day.on tuesday, in a room filled with teachers, principals, professors, school-board members and policy makers, sahlberg joked about the finns reputation（名声） for being a quiet, humble people. “when finland hit the top of the pisa,” he said, “the biggest disbelievers were finns.”more seriously, finland never set out to create the worlds top school system. instead, he said, the country decided in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a students success didnt depend on family background.“finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools, rather than on competition. rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores,” he said, “finland puts trust in its teachers and principals. teachers develop the curriculum in finland, and design their own tests. there are no national tests, except one at the end of high school.”thats just the start. along with a shorter school day, finnish students dont even start school until they are 7 years old. many primary schools have a policy against giving homework.“but finland,”he said,“succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the u.s. and other countries. and those countries, ”he said, “can learn from finland, too.”32what might be the authors purpose of writing the passage?a. to introduce a finnish official.b. to compare the education systems of finland and the us.c. to share the story of finlands success in education.d. to ask the us to improve its education.33people first learned finlands success in education from_.a. its students performance in an international exam.b. its international exchange programs.c. lectures given by pasi sahlberg.d. its small-sized public schools.34which of the following can contribute to finlands success in education?a. giving students fewer tests.b. giving teachers more trust.c. evaluating students family backgrounds.d. creating the worlds top school system.e. starting school late.a. a,b,c b. c,d,e c. a,b,e d. b,c,d35what pasi sahlerg said in paragraph 7 suggested that _ a. children should start school as early as possible.b. competition among teachers might be harmful to education.c. the us education system is still the most advanced.d. it is necessary to set up a national curriculum. 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。why do girls have to
