People enjoy listening to music at home and in concert halls. As time goes by, music changes.Traditional music is part of our culture. It often 51 with us for a long time. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes very little. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is 52 pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Todays musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.Music could only be heard live (直播) 53 radio and TV were invented that is, you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very 54 , so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people, the best 55 to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music 56 .One thing that hasnt changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about the 57 and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.Music, traditional or modern, Chinese or international, seems to be a world language that everybody can 58 and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music.IV. Complete the sentences with the given words in their suitable forms（用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子。每空格限填一词）:（共8分）59.

Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动). These students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still havent got enough to eat? Please dont waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Chinese people are well-known for being hospitable（好客的） and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker（贴花）. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time.

You can probably read this passage _. A) in a science book B) in a newspaperC) in a tourist guide D) in an advertisementB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）“DRINK your milk. Its good for you!” Youve probably heard that many times, and its true. Milk contains calcium (钙), which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even 80 milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all of which are not so 81 to health. There are better ways to get calcium, such as eating beans and drinking orange juice and soymilk. “One of the only 82 people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs. Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that have 83 to do with your bone strength, such as genes (基因), how much vitamin D you take in, and time, getting an hours exercise every day.Some people disagree with the idea that milk isnt important. Keri Gans, an American Dietitian (营养学家), says “I dont think its 84 if we take away this drink from the lunch line. Children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient (营养的) needs for the day.”The US government is now considering PCRMs idea, but 85 may be a long way off. A professor at New York University puts it best: “Milk certainly has nutrients. Other food has the same nutrients. Its just food. As with other food, too much might be a problem.” 80. A) requires B) refuses C) drinks D) stops 81. A) harmful B) beautiful C) helpful D) awful 82. A) signals B) tasks C) manners D) reasons 83. A) anything B) something C) everything D) nothing 84. A) responsible B) important C) unhealthy D) useless85. A) a situation B) a decision C) an invention D) an occupationC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys dogs, cats, rabbits, bears, e 86 and so on. I love them!Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasnt got a collection of photos, or books? Many people collect the letters or emails theyve got from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people dont think of t 87 as collectors because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, there are some people who love collecting things as a h 88 , and there is no limit to the things you can collect. You can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have extraordinary (不寻常的) collections.For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually t 89 away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection and you can find some of them in his own museum in Gloucester, UK .When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left b 90 some extraordinary collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old match boxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy didnt want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was s 91 to find out that his fathers collections were very valuable (宝贵的). Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection, or you can buy collectors magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites such as E-bay. Or you can have an e 92 of things you have for something else that you would like to have.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)Lee Ching loved tennis.
