In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist（打击乐器独奏演员）in spite of deafness. “Early on I decided not to allow the 16 of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began 17 piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion（酷爱）for music grew. But I also began to lose my 18 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤) was the 19 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf.

No other deaf student had 23 this before and some teachers disagreed with me. Because of my performance, I finally entered the academy and went on to 24 with the academys highest honors a few years later.” “Ive been a soloist for more than ten years. 25 the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didnt mean that my passion couldnt be realized.

I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. However, I realized that it was an elderly couple. No more anger.The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. She was his eyes as well. The two of them worked as one - each needing the other to function(起作用) in this fast-changing world.That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life. Suddenly I wasnt so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严、自尊) and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasnt so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it. I started to think - not only was I lucky to have it all, but so was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasnt for our elders. We should spend an extra minute to listen and learn when it comes to helping our elder friends. They need it.26. What was the writers first reaction(反应) when he was stopped by the old couple?A) He got angry at being delayed.B) He didnt mind at all.C) He showed great pity for the couple.D) He waited patiently.27. The underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A) strengthB) methodC) pictureD) understanding28. What do we know about the writer according to the passage?A) He and his wife are in their old age.B) He has a good but busy job.C) His life is very bad actually.D) He and his wife often walk arm-in-arm.BOne bag, thats it.The importance of packing light cannot be overemphasized(过度强调). Limit yourself to 20 pounds in a carry-on bag. A 9 22 14 bag fits under most airplane seats. And after you enjoy that sweet mobility and freedom, youll never go any other way.Youll walk with your luggage(行李) more than you think you will. Before leaving home, give yourself a test. Pack up completely, and practice being a tourist for an hour. Fully loaded, you should enjoy window-shopping. If you cant, go home and thin things out.Packing light isnt just about the trip over and backits about your traveling lifestyle. Too much luggage marks you as a typical tourist. It slams the back door shut. Changing locations becomes an important operation. With only one bag, youre mobile and in control. Take this piece of advice seriously. Pack light, and pack smart. These days, you cant bring anything possibly dangeroussuch as knives, lighters or large amounts of liquid (液体)in your bag.What to bring?How do you fit a whole trips worth of luggage into a small backpack or suitcase(衣箱)? The answer is simple: bring very little.Bring out everything you think you might need on the floor. Pick up one item(件) at a time and check it. Ask yourselfnot “Will I use it?”, but“Will I use it enough to feel good about carrying it all the way? The world is getting really smallyou can buy Colgate toothpaste, Nivea cream and Gillette razors in almost every country.Think about what you can do withoutnot what will be convenient on your trip. When in doubt, leave it out.29. You are allowed to take _with you when you travel according to the passage.A. Colgate toothpaste B. Lighters C. Knives D. a great deal of liquid30. The underlined part “thin things out” possibly means_. A. make things thin to bringB. make your luggage lighter C. take out dangerous thingsD. throw useless things away 31. The author seems to believe that _.A. people had better bring nothing when they travelB. people can use Nivea cream only in their home townC. the importance of packing light is overemphasized now D. you will be easily seen as a tourist with a lot of luggageCChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who dont. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. “A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their childs first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.32. According to George, reading aloud to children_. A. helps them correct mistakes B. is helpful to their reading C. is parents first duty to their children D. can get children out of televisions attraction33. The underlined word (in Paragraph 4 ) means something that_ A. can improve childrens reading B. can help childrens right way of reading C. can make children interested in reading D. can make children not attentive34. Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph? A. Reading skills. B. Reading speed. C. Reading materials. D. Reading environment.35. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph? A. Parents choose reading materials for their children. B. Advice is given to control their children. C. What TV programs children can watch during reading. D. How children improve their reading by themselves.第二卷（非选择题 共45分）四、词汇运用 (共10小题；每小题l分，满分l0分)A) 根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。36.

Do you know we can cook chicken with it? And does it have anything to do with our mobile phones? The latest cell phone, the “Coke Phone”, by the Chinese designer Daizi Zheng is a surprise.Daizi Zheng is a famous designer in England. The Nokia company asked her to design a phone that is not bad for the environment. As a result of her research, she found that normal phone batteries are expensive and bad for the environment. It also uses many good resources（资源）to make a normal battery. So she wanted to design a battery that is green. Then a Nokia cellphone that drinks coke was born.The cell phone has a bio-battery（生物电池）.It gets power from sugar. So users only need to pour a glass of coke into it, and then watch the coke turn into power. Once the battery dies, only oxygen and water are left. Bio-batteries can last three to four times longer than the usual batteries. In fact, Zheng said that not only coke but also soda（苏打）with sugar can be good resources to power the cell phone. If so, you may never look at a can of coke in the same way again.56. The “Coke Phone” is the _ cell phone that is designed by a Chinese girl.57.

But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you dont let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).Bitterness appears when we cant forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think were hurting that person by criticizing(批评) him or her often, but were really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to terrible health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, the following ways can be helpful.Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think youre right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably cant completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. Youll enjoy better health and peace of your mind.Title: Face the bitternessAppearance of bitternessWe dont forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. We always remember something that hurts us _61
