（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。awhen i was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. and so he did. when i was 16, dad looked closely at the violin i played and announced that he wanted to make one. he read about violinmaking, and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. he bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. he retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.dad often guessed why the stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. some experts claimed that it was the special varnish(清漆) that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish-if that were the answer.one of dads friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. when dad explained that the top was made of spruce（云杉）, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce dad might be interested in.he worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. it proved to be a superior violin and it would become dads masterpiece. he was convinced that the secret of the stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.later, the instrument was stolen. dads spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. but he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.my father has been gone for 14 years now. the violin has been missing for more than 25 years. somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. the owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like stradivarius.46. the author mentions his fathers developing color prints .a. to show that his fathers real interest was not in making violinsb. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted toc. to give an example proving that his father was an inventord. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father47. what did the author father think about stradivarius violins?a. the varnish was different from others.b. the way of making them was special.c. the wood of the violins was special.d. they could only be analyzed by chemists.48. from the underlined sentence, we can learn that the authors father .a. liked the violin very much b. got crazy after this happenedc. lost interest in instruments d. didnt want to become famous49. we can infer from the last paragraph that the author . a. really hates the thief b. misses his father a lot c. really wants to play the violin d. wonders whos playing the violin now bsometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you thinkinterestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about usunfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole worldthe best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it.it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. if you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutorif you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practiceif you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothesbut remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.the best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. when you can pat（拍）yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck!50according to the passage, our self-images _ahave positive effects bare probably untruecare often changeable dhave different functions51how should you change your self-image according to the passage?ato keep a different image of others bto make your life successfulcto understand your own world dto change the way you think52what is the passage mainly about?ahow to prepare for your success bhow to face challenges in your lifechow to build a positive self-image dhow to develop your good qualities53who are the intended readers of the passage?aparents bteenagers ceducators dpeople in generalceuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from icelands volcano starts settling, the world health organization warned friday as small amounts fell in iceland, scotland and norway. who spokesman daniel epstein said the tiny ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the earth because particles (粒子) taken in by people can enter the lungs and cause breathing problems. and he also said europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.other experts, however, werent convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples health and said whos warnings were hysterical. they said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. it is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder（滑石粉）. during a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation (发炎，过敏) even in healthy people. but once it falls from a greater distance like from the cloud currently hovering above europe its health effects are often minimal, experts say. not all particles are created equal, said ken donaldson, a professor at the university of edinburgh, in the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful. and he said most europeans exposure to volcanic ash would be ignored and that only those in the near districts of the icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.dr. stephen spiro, a professor of the british lung foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. the cloud has already passed over northern scotland and we havent heard of any ill effects there, he said. spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was over the top and a bit hysterical.54. the text is mainly about .a. the effect of volcanic ash b. the health risk of volcanic ash c. the disadvantages of volcanic ash d. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash55. which one is true according to paragraph 3?a. the volcanic ashs effects on europeans were little.b. the ash caused irritation even in healthy people. c. other experts thought wtos warnings were useful.d. the volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.56. the underlined word “hysterical” in paragraph4 most probably means .a. amazing b. practical c. valuable d. overstated 57. what can we learn from paragraph 4 ? a. the volcanic ash wouldnt be harmful to people.b. all experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.c. people close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts. d. europeans should stay indoors because icelands volcano starts settling.d everyone takes drugs. sometimes a drug might be called a herb but the effect is the same. drugs and herbs can make life better for they are used to improve health. from the simplest headache to a cure for cancer, people believe that certain drugs can help them. but there is danger if the drugs are not used in a proper way. american teenagers sometimes use certain drugs to feel good. they call this “getting high”. the problem is that once a young man or a young woman has the feeling of “getting high, they want to do it often. if school is boring or too hard, students might get depressed and a drug or herb might help them feel better. if a student takes too much of a drug, the body may change in a negative way such as a confused mind, poor vision, a headache, and an uncomfortable stomach.school mow have dare programme which means drug abuse resistance education. this programme was started so that young students from age 10 to18 might understand how a drug affects their bodies. the main point of the programme is education. once a student understands certain drugs can cause ill health, he will know he should not use them.education is the key to good nutrition as well. if a student eats correctly, he or she will be full of energy which leads to good study habits and good grades. poor nutrition may cause the need for more sleep and poor concentration. proper food is similar to the proper use of drugs. both allow a healthy body to grow while misuse prevents a person from developing normally.58. the author tends to tell us that
