Lost AND FOUND B. ROOMMATESC. FOR SALE D. HELP WANTEDAs a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers(障碍) to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs light.24The author thinks music_.A. can make children calm downB. Can connect heart to heartC. Is difficult for pre-school studentsD. Is a good means to find a job25According to the second paragraph, Vanessa_.A. Got used to singing songs B. Was too shy to speakC. Was the youngest in the classD. Enjoyed the authors classes26When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh, yes!”, the author felt_.A. SurprisedB. HappyC. FrightenedD. Satisfied27What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.B. Vanessa became as healthy as other children.C. The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.D. Being a good educator became Vanessas dream.In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents. My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents werent sure what theyd provide for us.That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.28The authors father _.A. was once the richest man in his hometownB. was working in a government officeC. had to support a family of 9 peopleD. looked like Santa Claus most29What happened in 1970?A. The authors mother lost her job.B. They had a little money left for Christmas.C. They had the worst Christmas in their lives.D. The authors father was out of work.30The authors family knew _.A. who the mysterious Santa Claus wasB. why the mysterious Santa Claus helped themC. how they could repay the mysterious Santa ClausD. they could find the mysterious Santa Claus one day31It can be inferred（推断）that _.A. the mysterious Santa Claus was one of their relativesB. the mysterious Santa Claus was a rich man in the areaC. the sack from the mysterious Santa Claus was very expensiveD. the authors family were all thankful to the mysterious Santa ClausIf you dont think technology can improve your trip, meet Judy Williams. When she and her husband recently checked into Blu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked them to sign the dotted line on a room rate hundreds of dollars higher than their online offer.“It was not a cheap stay,” says Williams, a lawyer from Billings, Mont. But it became more of one after her husband fired up the B app hed used to book their room on his smartphone. “As soon as we showed him the cost, he honored it,” Williams says.Technology may create challenges for travelers but it can also solve them. Its more than making sure of a hotel cost. The latest B can help users select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed(已确认的) cost so they never need to re-discuss their hotel price.Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. Theres a new app called Commute which is aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. But if youre headed to Los Angeles or Honolulu, where visitors can easily get stuck in hours of heavy traffic, Commute can help.Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic information 15 minutes before you leave. Testing Commute proved to be a challenge for me, because my home address is about 900 miles from my place of work. But if you have only a short distance to travel through a heavily populated area, you can use Commute to avoid traffic jams.Another source of travel-related problems is money. Thats particularly true when youre dealing with a foreign currency. The latest Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It immediately changes a countrys native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. It can also warn you when youre overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when youre on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.Taken together, these apps solve some of the most common travel problems. But not all of them. Some things, no smartphone can fix, which means I get to keep my job for now.32What does the writer want to tell through the example of Judy Williams?A. The cost of Blu Hotel was higher than that of others.B. The clerk was very friendly and patient.C. The smartphones have many functions.D. Technology can make our trips better.33Commute is not suitable for those who_.A. have a long journeyB. go on the same trip every dayC. can easily get stuck in traffic jamsD. travel a short distance downtown34What is the function of Travel Money Tracker?A. It tells people how much Espresso costs.B. It changes the native currency to yours.C. It warns people when they are shopping.D. It records all peoples purchases.35What is the purpose of this passage?A. To encourage people to travel.B. To introduce some new apps.C. To help people with technology problems.D. To provide people with traveling information.第II卷（非选择题）第一节、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根据短文内容。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）Improve your memory, improve your lifeMark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror. _36_Barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldnt remember where shed put it._37_. Most people have. But memory can be developed.First, relax. If youre overanxious about remembering something, youll forget it. _38_.Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember.Second, avoid being negative. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you wont remember things. When you forget something, dont say, “ Gee, I need to have my brain rewired(重装电线).”To improve your memory, youll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise. _39_ For example, if youre learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs.You may also want to make associations, or links, between what youre trying to remember and things you already know. For example, if you need to catch a plane at 2:00pm, you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings. _40_. Dont worry.He had forgotten her name.Perhaps youve had experiences like these.Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.Jokes like this will have a negative effect on your memory.You are now ten times more likely to remember the take-off time.Relaxing will help improve your awareness and ability to concentrate.第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在标号为1-10的相应位置上。Most Americans have a city they like best.Over the years, American songwriters have 41 （describe）these feelings in music.More songs have been written about Americas biggest city, New York, than about any other city.Many others dream.42 leaving their small towns to go there.They want to become rich and famous.Frank Sinatra sings about this dream in the most popular song written about New York.Almost three-million people live in the middle western city of Chicago, Illinois.It is now Americas third 43 city.It used to be the second largest city.So, of course, it needed its own song.Judy Garland sings the song, Chicago, Chicago.One of Americas most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada.In nineteen-sixty-four, Elvis Presley starred in a movie 44 (call)Viva Las Vegas.
