She was strict, patient and confident. She ran an excellent music program, and her team won prizes at all sorts of state, national, and international competitions. I didnt realize at first how fortunate I was to have had her as a teacher for three years. Her enthusiasm(热情)for music and art was like a breath of fresh air for me. She was nothing less than a living inspiration. Because of her I wanted to live surrounded by musical instruments, and by people singing and performing. At that time, I didnt see how I could possibly achieve such a life as a musician. A dream like that didnt seem realistic to me. I was a poor girl with an alcoholic(酒鬼) father, and a mom who had died before I entered high school, leaving me with two younger brothers to take care of. Most of my youthful freedom died with my mother. After graduation, I turned down a music scholarship and joined the army so that I would get pay and send it home to support my younger brothers. But I never forgot music. The hours that Id spent learning and memorizing countless songs encouraged me to dream of finding a place for myself in music one day. And a few years later I made it to university, and studied music after all. Mrs. Frickey is the only teacher I remember by name. I can recall her facial expressions when she was pleased or displeased, and the shapes of her hands and fingers, which seemed to be in constant motion. She isnt a beautiful woman, but she has a really beautiful soul.21. Put the following in the order in which they occurred. The author refused a music scholarship and joined the army. The author entered university and studied music. Mrs. Frickey became the authors music teacher. The authors mom died, leaving her and her brothers.A. B. C. D. 22. Why did the author join the military after graduation? A. Because she wanted to leave her alcoholic father.B. Because her dream was to become a woman soldier.C. Because she lacked the money for further education.D. Because she wanted to earn money to support her brothers. 23. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Frickey _.A. had a passion for music B. was the authors only music teacherC. helped the author a lot when she was in difficulty D. won a great number of prizes alone B Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesnt matter where you livein the middle of a modern city, or a faraway villagethe chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. are almost everywhere .We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However ,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesnt change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.24. The best title for this passage is _. A. Noisy Life B. Background Noise C. Disturbed Concentration D. Changeable Noise25. “Background music” in the passage means _. A. music played in the concertB. a kind of noise coming into your ears C. music helps people to concentrateD. music played while people are working26. Some people may have their hearing hurt _.

Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating is _. A. any kind of noise B. great changes in level of noise C. background noise D. various background music CIts not easy to find a person with the qualities it takes to be a hero. I didnt really understand the meaning of the word “hero” until my third year in the college.If you saw her, you wouldnt think she really looks the part, but she is stronger than Superman could ever be. Her name is Sandra Keierleber. I first met her at volleyball tryouts(选拔赛), but didnt notice anything special at first. As the week passed, however, she showed she had more heart than anyone. She stood out because she never gave up, no matter what. Sandra isnt the tallest or the fastest - in fact, this was her first time playing volleyball and it showed- but that didnt stop her. She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. By the end of tryouts she had found a place in everyones heart. When the name list for new members was put up, we all waited nervously as she checked. When she stood at the door and smiled happily, all we could do was cheer.After Sandra made the team, she worked even harder to improve her game. When she asked for help, we gladly taught her. She also became our fan, attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games. We all like her, because she never thinks about doing things the easy way, or loses that smile. Because of her great efforts, she makes herself a true hero- and my hero, too.28. What did the writer think of Sandra Keierleber at the beginning?A. Strong B. Honest C. Pretty. D. Common29.

She asked for help from her teammates. D Liu Xiaocheng never believed that true love existed since his parents divorced when he was young and he didnt think that true love was able to survive in todays world. He was proved wrong. His grandparents were always supportive to the kids and try to help them when their parents divorced. He knew they loved each other, but he just wasnt sure it was true love. He had never heard them say, “I love you” or they hadnt show any affection rather than hugging. They had been married for over fifty years and he thought that their true love was gone. But again he was wrong. His grandfather, Ralph, was struck ill in his junior year of college and his grandfather didnt know how serious it was until he fell and hurt his hip. While in the hospital, the doctors found out a tumor in his lungs. They told him that he had a lung cancer and due to previous illness, they could not operate and he was too weak for chemotherapy(化疗). It was around Thanksgiving and by Christmas his grandfathers condition worsened. The cancer spread and in later January his sister away at college, too, called him crying and said she was on her way home because the doctors told their family that their grandfather had only a week to live, that by the weekend he would no longer be with him. Their family came in from around the country and stayed next to his side. It was not until then that he realized that true love did exist and would survive beyond death. Every night as his grandfather grew more fragile, he would whisper sweet words to grandmother, Madge. The night before he died grandmother was walking out of his room and he said to her “I love you Madge baby”. The next morning he received a phonecall at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his grandfathers battle with cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest gift on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love.32. What was Liu Xiaochengs understanding of love at first? A.

By knowing his grandparents had been married for over fifty years. B. By receiving his sisters call about his grandfathers illness. C. By hearing his grandfather say “I love you” to his grandmother. D. By realizing how much it means to be loved and give love.34. What is the main idea of the text? A. True love is around us and it lasts beyond life. B. True love does not always exist. C.
