the 20th century was elvis presley. elvis presley made the music called rock & roll(摇滚乐) popular around the world. he sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.elvis presley was born in 1935 in a small town called tupelo, in mississippi in the southern united states. he came from a very poor family. his parents were simple country people who often took elvis to church. at church he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.when he was a school boy, elvis moved to the town of memphis in tennessee. he attended high school in memphis, but he was not a very good student. his only interest was singing. he began to sing in the style that is popular in tennessee, a style called country and western.in 1995 in memphis he recorded some country and western songs for his mothers birthday. the people at the recording studio liked elvis singing and music. there was something different about it. it was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the american south, known as “blues”. 51elvis learned to sing _.a. at home b. in church c. in memphis d. at high school 52. the first music elvis recorded was in the style called_. a. blues b. popular songs c. rock & roll d. country and western53. when he was at high school, elvis didnt do very well in his studies because_.a. he was slow in learning b. his family was very poor c. he went to church too often d. he was only interested in singingbthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life: one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticising(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves pubic objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will be pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.54the phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.a. have a good taste with social life b. make others unhappyc. tend to scold others openly d. enjoy the pleasure of life55. we can conclude from the passage that_.a. we should pity all such unhappy peopleb. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life c. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessd. unhappy people can not understand happy persons56. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_.a. prevent any communication with themb. show no respect and politeness to themc. persuade them to recognise the bad effectsd. quarrel with them until they realise the mistakesca volcanic eruption in iceland has sent ash across northern europe. airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the atlantic ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in europe. what makes grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 meters thick. the hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层) of water between the glacier and the volcano. this layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable. as the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. the lava(岩浆) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. this is exactly what happened today.now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. according to klm, one of europes biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplaness engines, causing damage to the plane.the eruption has also caused problems for animals in iceland. the volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects.57. what makes grimsvotn different from other volcanoes? a. it is below ice. b. it lies under the sea. c. it is the largest volcano. d. its lava affects the airlines.58. what keeps grimsvotn still? a. the slow flow of water b. the low water temperature. c. the thick glacier. d. the water pressure.59. which of the following is the result of the volcanic eruption? a. people stop traveling in europe. b. airlines suffer from the loss of planes. c. it becomes dangerous for animals to eat outside. d. farmers have lost many of their animals.60. this text is most probably taken from_. a. a research paper b. a newspaper report c. a class presentation d. a geography textbook.d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。 more than one-million children in the united states do not go to school. instead, they learn at home. 61 educational companies, libraries and the internet provide many families with teaching material. 62 some choose it because of their religious beliefs. others say it provides more time for the family to be together. they say home offers a better place for learning. some parents believe home schooling avoids problems of traditional schools. these include classes that have too many students. critics, however, say children need to attend school with other children.they also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education. 63 some states do not require much preparation by parents or testing of children. other states have more requirements for home-schooling. home-schooling in the united states began when the country was established. in farm areas, people often lived far from a school. widespread home-schooling took place until about the middle of the 19th century. then, in 1852, the state of massachusetts passed the first law requiring children to attend school.over the years, the american public education system strengthened and grew. by the 1960s and 1970s, however, some americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children. 64 home-schooling expert linda dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. she says some parents began teaching their children at home after changes in tax laws forced some private religious schools to close. that happened in the 1980s. and, most recently, she says many kinds of people have joined the movement. 65 they represent many races, religious and political beliefs. ms dobson says the number of home-schooled children has increased an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year during the last fifteen years.a. so a number of parents began home-schooling.b. they are mainly rich people.c. however, all fifty american states and district of columbia permit home-schooling.d. she says these include rich people and poor people.e. home- schooling is not accepted by all the people.f. parents choose home-schooling for several reasons.g. most often, their parents are their teachers.第二部分 非选择题（共两节，计30分）第一节 根据所给汉语或首字母写出单词或短语，每空一词 ( 每小题1分，共5分 )66. we want to make this a truly m_（难忘的）day for the children. 67. _ _ _ (令我们吃惊的是),
