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 violin making 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 sounded so beautiful Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish 油漆 that gave those instruments their beautiful sound Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish if that was the answer One of Dad s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make 5 violins When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce 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 proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad s masterpiece He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself Later the instrument was stolen Dad s 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 than25 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 a Stradivarius 46 The author mentions his father s developing color prints A to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father B to give an example proving that his father was an inventor C to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to do D to show that his father s real interest was not in making violins 47 What did the author s father think about Stradivarius violins A The wood of the violins was special B The varnish was different from the others C They could only be analyzed by chemists D The way of making them was special 48 From the underlined sentence we can learn that the author s father A got crazy after this happened B liked the violin very much C didn t want to become famous D lost interest in instruments 49 We can infer from the last paragraph that the author A wonders who s playing the violin now B really hates the thief C misses his father a lot D really wants to play the violin B 6 A popular saying goes Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me However that s not really true Words have the power to build us up or tear us down It doesn t matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just lasting We all talk to ourselves sometimes We re usually too embarrassed to admit it though However we really shouldn t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves our loud is a healthy habit This self talk helps us motivate 激发 ourselves remember things solve problems and calm ourselves down Be aware though that as much as 77 of self talk tends to be negative So in order to stay positive we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back The next time you finish a project do well on a test or finally clean your room join me in saying Good job Often words came out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others For example when returning an item to a store we might use warm friendly language during the exchange And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner Or we can use harsh 苛刻的 critical language which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive Words possess power because of their lasting effects Many of us regret something we once said And we remember unkind words said to us Before speaking we should always ask ourselves Is it true Is it loving Is it needed If what we want to say doesn t pass these tests then it s better left unsaid Words possess power both positive and negative Those people around us receive encouragement when we speak positively We can offer hope build self esteem 自尊 and motivate others to do their best Negative words destroy all those things Will we use our words to hurt or to heal The choice is ours 50 The author argues in the first paragraph that A words will never hurt us at all B words have lasting effects on us C inspiring words give us confidence D negative words may let us down 51 Why should we not feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves A Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health 7 B Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself C Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems D It does harm to have self talk when we are alone 52 The underlined phrase give ourselves a pat on the back in Paragraph 3 means A blame ourselves B punish ourselves C talk to ourselves D praise ourselves 53 Which of the following statements would the author agree to A Unkind words are unlikely to be forgotten B Positive words may destroy all the good relations C It is better to think twice before talking to others D Kind words are sure to cause unfavorable responses C During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another Understandably so Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything from organized sports to music dance and more But we can overdo it leaving our children feeling a little burnt out and according to parent educator Diane Loisie it s their school work that suffers the most After school if they re busy in a number of sporting events besides they need to do their homework then the time they ll feel sleepy is in the classroom Your child needs free time So if you re filling up that after school time then it s during the day they re going to be taking a break Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away Relaxing time is important for children It s time just to do the things they want to do A child can go up to their room or they can play around It doesn t look like productive time parents certainly wouldn t be saying Wow are they ever learning things now But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day It helps a child prepare for sleep but it also helps to understand the learning that s gone on that day It s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons After all many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that However Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just 8 a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything then what we re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill So choose your children s activities wisely It may be one of the best things you ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers 54 What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school A They can not easily focus on learning during the day B They might have no time to do the homework C They might not pay much attention to learning D They can get bored easily about everything 55 What should we think of children s playing around aimlessly A It is productive B It is a waste of time C It is a bad habit D It is helpful 56 What is the main idea of this passage A Don t be children s drivers after school B Let children learn something from various subjects C Choose activities for your children wisely D Make your children learn as much as possible 9 第二节第二节 共 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满分 1010 分 分 根据短文内容 从下框的 A F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项 选项中有一 10 项为多余 A Goods for auction 拍卖 sales B Auction sales in history C Definition of bidding D Way to sell more goods by auction E Making a larger profit as an auctioneer F Brief introduction to auctions 61 Auctions are public sales of goods conducted by an officially approved auctioneer He asks the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers or bids for the various items on sale He encourages buyers to bid higher figures and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods This is called knocking down the goods for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands 62 The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction and the English word comes from the Latin auction meaning increasing The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war In England in the eighteenth centuries goods were often sold by the candle a short candle was lit by the auctioneer and bids could be made while it stayed alight 63 Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction Among these are coffee skins wool tea furs silk and wines Auction sales are also usual for land and property furniture pictures rare books old china and similar works of art 64 An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers If the advertisement cannot give full details catalogues are printed and each group of goods to be sold together called a lot is usually given a number The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in 65 The auctioneer s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the 11 price the goods are sold for The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other 第二卷 非选择题 共 55 分 第三部分 写作 共三节 满分 55 分 A 单词拼写 共 10 小题 每小题 1 分 满分 10 分 66 You will be 惩罚
