Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the belief：to enjoy every second of every minute every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhereon top of, under，inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy, a boy is a troublemaker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression，his brain turns to jelly(果冻), or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixturehe has the stomach of a horse, the digestion(消化) of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull(公牛), the violence of a firecracker(爆竹), but when you ask him to make something，he has five thumbs (拇指) on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws(锯), Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, companies，schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties，barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees，dogs, and breezes(微风). Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty(生锈的) knife, a half eaten apple, a threefoot rope, six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creaturehe is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered(垮掉的) pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad”21The whole passage is in a tone(调子) of_.Ahumor and affectionBrespect and harmonyCambition and expectationDconfidence and imagination22Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?AHe has altogether five fingers. BHe is slow，foolish and clumsy.CHe becomes clever and smart. DHe cuts his hand with a knife.23According to the writer，boys appreciate everything in the following except_.Aice cream Bcomic books CSaturday mornings DSunday schoolsBSamuel Osmond is a 19yearold boy student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studied law and music.Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to meI hear the notes and can bear them in mindeach and every note.” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. Samuel says confidently, “Its all about super memoryI guess I have that gift.”However, Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.24What is special about Samuel Osmond?AHe has a gift for writing music. BHe can write down the note he hears.CHe is a top student at the law school. DHe can play the musical piece he hears.25What can we learn from Paragraph 2?ASamuel chose law against the wish of his parents.BSamuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.CSamuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.DSamuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.26What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?AHe became famous during a special event at his college.BHe is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.CHe plays the piano better than many professional pianists.DHe impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.27Which of the following is the best title of this passage?AThe Qualities of a Musician BThe Story of a Musical Talent.CThe Importance of Early Education DThe Relationship between Memory and MusicCFrench fries are served hot，either soft or crispy，and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack. They commonly appear on the menus of diners，fast food restaurants，pubs，and bars. They are usually salted and may be served with ketchup，vinegar，or other local specialties，depending on the country. French fries are very common fast food dish in Europe.But this year，a poor potato harvest in Europe this summer could mean French fries are up to three centimeters shorter than usual. The poor harvest is because of the very hot summer Europe had. There were record hot temperatures in many countries. The heat wave caused a lack of rain，which meant farmers produced a lot fewer potatoes than they normally do. Pierre Lebrun，a spokesman from a potato growers association in Belgium，said farmers grew 25 percent fewer potatoes than normal. The effect o f this is that potato prices are up and the average size of potatoes is smaller.Belgium is one country where the French fries are very popular. There are over 5,000 eateries which serve and specialize in fries in Belgium. Belgians go there and enjoy themselves at mealtime. They love fries so much that there is a campaign to rename them “Belgian fries” instead of “French fries” because Belgians say the fry was invented in their country. Belgium is one of the largest exporters of frozen fries in the world. It exports around 2.3 million tons of them every year. Mr. Lebron explained why fries would be shorter. He said，“Generally，to have long fries，we work with potatoes with a diameter of more than 50 mm. Then you get fries of 8 to 9 cm. This time，as the potatoes are smaller，the fries will be shorter.” 28From the first paragraph we can learn French fries_.Acan be served only at dinner Bcan be served in different waysCcant be ordered in a popular bar Dcant be served as snack in Europe29Why are the French fries shorter than usual?AThe business man wants to make more money.BThe cold weather reduced the production of the potatoes.CPeople dont like French fries any more for healthier life.DThe high temperatures in this summer make the potatoes smaller.30The underlined word “eateries” in Paragraph 3 refers to“_”Aparks Brestaurants Csupermarkets Dshopping malls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。If you have ever been in a school play or ever made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone or something else. _31_ .In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2,200 B.C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. _32_ To the dance was gradually added pantomime (哑语)the imitation of movements and gesturesas well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom._33_.Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide._34_A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners._35_Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.A.
