I remembered the charity party hosts request and said, “Hey! Why dont I watch your baby for an hour! I will just hang out with him here in the back garden and you go in and take an hour to yourself.”She was so surprised that she almost cried. “Are you serious? Would you be able to do that?” ” of course!” I said. “Id be happy to!” An hour later she came outside with a smile on her face. “I have got so much done!”she told me, and I told her that I had sung every kids song I knew and had a good time hanging out with the baby, too. And I was so happy to see her smiling like that.It was one of the best presents Ive ever given, and it has given me the desire to ask the same from all my friends this year.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分） Music not only gives you something to sing and dance to, but also can make you feel happier. Scientists say that music can help to relax peoples mind and even help to relieve pain. How does music work its magic? It is the fact that music can adjust(调节) our mood. Recently, there is a scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite (相反的情况)happens when people feel aggressive（好斗的） or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be. Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students.Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers（传单） in support of the local disabled athletes foundation（残疾运动员基金会）. The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to (愿意) hand out flyers. But less than 20% in the group that heard the aggressive music were willing to do so. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate(合作). While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can be increased with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates(刺激)workers mind, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood have more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood. These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a persons ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence(直接影响) on cooperation and job satisfaction. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.88.What do scientists say about music?_.89.The phrase “back up” in Line 6, Paragraph 1 most probably means “support”, doesnt it?_.90.Why do people use the right choice of background music in the workplace?_.91.How many university students did Dr. Adrian North make a study with?_.92.How do people feel if they are bored or sad ?_.93.

Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors. PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?! PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. Its a test taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It tests students ability in math, reading and science. Last years results were just released and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one in the world. Yes, thats right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And few others feel the stress of schoolwork like shanghai students. Thats why the Shanghai education authority is encouraging students to step away from their books. From time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art, singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.88. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?89. What does PISA stand for?90. How often is PISA taken?91. What did the last years results show?92. Why is the Shanghai education authority encouraging students to step away from their books?93. Is it a good idea that schools are setting aside time and providing facilities for the students?Why or why not?虹口D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分)August has always been difficult for me. It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned(布置) to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.You might think that I dont want to spend my summer reading, but thats not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holiday this year, I borrowed A Gathering of Old Men by African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to(订阅) and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning newspaper.So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just (不吸引人的).Teachers dont understand that summer reading can be interesting as well as educational. They choose books called “spinach books”：good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get bitter about the experience.This bitterness started three years ago when I began high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read The Age of innocence(纯真年代). At 14, I couldnt understand the love 100 years ago in the story. I only know my love for baseball. The Age of Innocence was completely different to my life. What is more, sometimes I guess teachers dont think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V. Higgins, The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value(文学价值)and can also entertain kids. If the teachers could add a little fun into the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.88. Why does the writer think he will have a difficult August?_89. How do we know that the writer likes reading?_90. What kind of books makes students interested in summer reading?_books.91. Whats the advantage of reading “spinach books”？_92. According to the passage, what is a good writer?_93. What might be the title of the passage? (In no more than ten words)_嘉定D.

This part of the mid-western United States has as many as 300 tornadoes blowing through it every year. Local people know that a “twister”（旋风） maybe only a hop, skip, and a jump away. Twisters are tornadoes, and tornadoes are trouble for people living there.2) A tornado is wind caused by a thunderstorm(雷雨). Tornadoes are the most terrible winds on Earth. They can travel up to 300 miles an hour. At that high speed, they damage almost everything. As they move, tornadoes turn round quickly in a twisting movement. They change direction without warning.3) Once youve seen a tornado, youre not likely to forget it. It has a unique(独特的) appearance. Take an ice cream cone, turn it upside down, and youve got a model for a tornado. The sound is also hard to be mistaken. Everything becomes completely silent. Even the insects stop buzzing. It seems the tornado take in all of the sound from the air. Suddenly it shouts it all back out in a roar, like a train running out of control.4) But sometimes the result cant be predicted. Have you ever seen the film The wizard of Oz(绿野仙踪)? Remember the scene when Dorothys house flies? A tornado once carried a house through the air for two miles. Another twister lifted a china cabinet(橱柜) and dropped it back to Earth some miles away. No disk was broken. Once, a tornado swept a child and her pony into the air. Her mother found her half a mile away, still sitting on the pony. Luckily, neither the girl nor her pony was seriously hurt.5) These stories ended happily. Most tornado stories dont. These terrible windstorms usually bring sadness, death and even disasters. In 1955, a tornado killed 34 people in one town. Three thousand buildings, including five sch
