In an interview, she talked about _ 31 _ she became a percussion soloist in spite of her disability.“I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began taking piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion for music grew. But I also began to gradually lose my hearing. Doctors concluded that the nerve damage was the cause _32_ by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music _33_ left me.”“My goal was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were _34_ at that time. To perform, I learned to hear music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can tell the pitch of a note(音调高低) by the vibrations(振动) I feel through my body and through my imagination. My entire sound world exists by making use of almost every sense _35_ I have.”“I was determined to be assessed as a musician, not as a deaf musician, and I applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No _36_ deaf student had done this before and some teachers opposed my _37_(admit). Based on my performance, I was finally admitted and went on to graduate with the academys highest honors.”“I have been a soloist for over ten years. _38_ the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didnt mean that my passion couldnt be realized. I would encourage people not to allow _39_ to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you _ 40_ the place you want to go.” 阅读 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AI came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet, I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the car accident I had to see a doctor- and go to court(法庭).After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reasons to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stopped treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving American. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.My experience taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly foreigners are still being treated unfairly. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.41.

A good doctor is essential for the author to_.A. to be properly treatedB. talk with the person responsible for the accidentC. recover before he leaves AmericaD. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury43. The underlined word “charge” in the second paragraph means _.A. be responsible B. accuse C. ask for money as a price D. claim44. Both the doctor and the lawyer in the passage are very _.A. friendly B. greedy C. professional D. busy45. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Money is more important than other things in America.BMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation- for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的) loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important fact in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For example, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.46. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friendsB. Just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teachers for guidance47. “ It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _.A. temporary loneliness B. situational loneliness C. a new place D. sleeplessness48. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _.A. one problem of loneliness is a persons social contactsB. we depend on various people for different reasonsC. lonely people dont have many social problemsD. lonely people dont have many friends49. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.C. Chronic loneliness cannot be overcome.D. A, B, and C are all correct50. What is the best title of the passage?A. Three kinds of LonelinessB. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social ContactsD. Chronic LonelinessC20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is one of those classics that has so made its influence upon Science Fiction and popular culture that one neednt have read the book to know its features: the dark genius-Captain Nemo; the futuristic Nautilus with its thousands of strange inventions and capabilities; and giant octopi（章鱼） that can drag a ship down to the abyss（深渊）. In fact, this book is so foreseeing into modern culture that, even more than 120 years after its first publication, it yet deserves examination. This examination is guaranteed because Jules Verne was so greatly insightful(具有远见的) about future technology and human interaction with it. Although recognizable submarines had been kicking around since the 18th century, it was Verne who pictured this invention on a big scale(规模). He equipped his Nautilus with newborn technologies (like electricity), and carefully researched and described the possibilities (the Nautilus gets all of its electrical power from chemical reactions using seawater). In a word, the Nautilus was the first, detailed picture of a submarine. However, reasonable science, excellent research and fantastic voyages dont always make great stories. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea deserves praise for its futuristic insight and its contributions to the establishment of Science Fiction, but its not the most attractive. Basically plotless, the Nautilus adventures, though interesting, are put together without any sense of overall architecture, making the story a very long travelogue. Its time has passed - its examinations of biological wonders are from the eye of 19th-century Europe, which substituted overall killing for respect and tried to plant its flag on any new land mass, regardless of who might already live there. Fascinating at first, the book becomes tiresome, but is in the end saved, for it is a lesson on how to build solid facts into solid futurism. 51. From this passage, we know that Nautilus _.A. is the name of a person in the novelB. is the Captain of a ship in the novelC. is the name of a submarine in the novelD. is a giant sea fish in the novel 52. Jules Verne might _.A. be the man who constructed the first submarine. B. be the writer of the novelC. be able to produce electricity using seawaterD. be an inventor in the novel 53. According to this passage, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is great because _.A. it is a long travelogue.B. it was written in the 19th century. C. it described fantastic voyages. D. it shows great insight into future technology. 54. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage? A. The 19th-century Europe showed little respect for life in a new land. B. Some technologies described in science fiction may eventually be realized. C. Captain Nemo must be an European. D. 18th century people didnt know what electricity was. 55. What is the attitude of the author of this passage towards 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?A. He is objective (客观的).B. He thinks it doesnt deserve its reputation of a classic. C. He thinks highly of the whole novel. D. He thinks it is not worth reading. 第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列5660关于如何做好演讲的方法，请你把相关的方法与AF的例子合理地匹配起来，并在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。Informative speaking is all around us.
