She seemed to have lost every bit of her interest in piano.Then an American teacher was 25 ,teaching in a complete American free style, but I heard they always 26 to satisfy parents requirements on finger practicing and 27 of the kids. After practicing, she would give my daughter some good 28 , with serious expression, on the excellent part(despite it being just a small one), and then point out what should be 29 . She would give my daughter some small gifts as 30 for her progress. She said, “To learn playing the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more 31 , to feel the music and love it.”To my surprise, my daughter 32 became fond of piano lessons. Sometimes she 33 would like to show off a little bit after her skill had reached a certain 34 . Her confidence and sense of achievement were found again and her interest in playing the piano 35 as well.Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Mom, I was 36 that you didnt give up my piano lessons. Learning piano is like climbing a mountain. You will feel tired when you are on the way. When you look 37 from where you are, you will 38 that you have been making progress. But if you stop, youll never take one more 39 .” On hearing the words, I could not hold back my tears, thinking: that is the very thing I want her to 40 , something that is more important than learning piano.21AexcitementBregretCdisappointmentDpressure22ASoBThereforeCBesidesDHowever23Asay CBmentionCtellDspeak24AWhat was worseBFirst of allCFinallyDTo make things better25AknownBwantedCintroducedDdismissed26AfailedBchoseCforgotDtried27AeducationBdisciplineCactionDinfluence28AmarksBsweetsCcommentsDcourage29ApreventedBreformedCobservedDimproved30AthanksBpraiseCrewardsDmeans31AimportantlyBnaturallyCseriouslyDregularly32AslowlyBeventuallyCfinallyDgradually33AevenBeverCneverDstill34AheightBlevelCdegreeDstate35AgrewBaddedCcameDappeared36AdoubtfulBregretfulCluckyDsatisfied37Aup BaheadCaroundDdown38Asee BjudgeCwitnessDpredict39Amovement BsuccessCfootDstep40Afind BlearnCgetDstudy第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题，第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAndrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady. The old lady climbed in through the car door, and pushed her big brown shopping bag down under her feet. She said in almost a whisper, “Thank you, dearIm just going to Brockbourne.”Something in the way the lady spoke made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She didnt know why, but she felt instinctively（直觉上）that there was something wrong, somethingdangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous? It was strange.Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger. She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, the arms with their thick black hairsThick black hairs?Hairy arms? Andreas blood froze.This wasnt a woman.At first, she didnt know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her racing, terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid（侧滑）,and brought it to a stop.“My god!” she shouted, “A child! I think I hit her!” The “old lady” was clearly shaken by the sudden skid, “I didnt see anything, dear,” she said. “I dont think you hit anything.”“I am sure it was a child!” insisted Andrea. “Could you just get out and have a look?” She held her breath. Would her plan work?It did. The passenger slowly climbed out to have a look. Hardly was she out of the car, Andrea drove madly away, and soon she put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.It was only then that she thought about the bag. Maybe the bag would provide some information about what she was. Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.It contained only one itema small hand axe, with a sharp blade. The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood. Andrea began to scream.41Andrea allowed the hitchhiker to take a ride in her car mainly because . Ashe felt sorry for the ladyBShe was curious about the old ladyCshe had never seen an old lady hitchhiking beforeDsomething in the way the lady spoke attracted her42What made Andrea afraid when she looked at the old lady?AShe had a shapeless body.BShe had a harsh voice.CShe wore a dirty dress.DShe had hairy arms.43Andrea suddenly stopped the car because .Ashe thought she had hit a child on the roadBshe felt instinctively that there was something wrongCshe wanted to trick the passenger into getting outDshe couldnt concentrated and nearly had a crash44According to the passage, it can be inferred that . AAndrea regretted getting rid of the “old woman”BAndrea was afraid of bloodCthe “old woman” was probably a killerDAndrea would be charged with murderBAfter visiting a Haringey tower block, the Metropolitan Police commissioner Ian Blair claimed that people now feel as safe as they did 25 years ago.Do you agree with Sir Ians rosy view of society?Do you feel safe enough to leave your doors unlocked where you live?(Posted by David Llewellyn on August 21,2020 12:17 PM)I lived in Devon for three years, and can honestly say that in the village where I lived it was safe to leave the front door unlocked. But a London district? What planet is Ian Blair on ? What decade is he in ?Im not one of these people who think that Britain is slipping into a deep hole, but I am realistic enough to understand that wherever you find a large population you will find crime.The idea that we can measure societys downfall by how safe it is to leave the door unlocked is misleading, anyhow. Its a little like the recent announcement that street crime has increased in recent years. Yes, it has, but the majority of people now walk around with half a branch of Dixons in their pocketsmobile phones, i-Pods. Of course, street crime is going to increase.Funnily enough, there was hardly any car theft in the 19th century!The same goes for houses. A hundred years ago your house may have contained a little jewelry, some furniture, and some small cash in a biscuit tin. Now even working class households are equipped with computers, DVD players, wide-screen televisionsall of which can be carried out in a matter of minutes.Im not speaking for the scum（渣滓）who choose to break into peoples houses and rob them of their hard-earned belongings, but it does put things into context.Yeswe have to lock our front doors, and yes, it is a shame that we cant trust everyone, but if were honest with ourselves, those of us living in cities never could trust absolutely everyone.45There was hardly any car theft in the 19th century because .Athere were hardly any thieves in the 19th centuryBthere were hardly any cars in the 19th centuryCstreet crime was rarely seen in the 19th centuryDproper security measures were taken in the 19th century46What is David Llewellyn s opinion about the topic?ALock the back door.BNever trust everyone.CLeave the door unlocked.DBe realistic.47The underlined word “it” refer to .Astreet crimeBthe recent announcementCleaving the door unlockedDsocietys downfall48According to David Llewellyn, . Ato lock the door or not is related to the times and placesBto lock the door or not is a measure to the level of safety of the societyCto leave the door unlocked will lead you nowhereDto lock the door means trusting nobody.CMiddle East NewsA look at U.S. military deaths in Iraq AP-23 minutes agoAs of Sunday, Aug. 20, 2020, at least 2,606 members of the U. S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2020, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,069 died as a result of hostile action, according to the militarys numbers.20 Shiite pilgrims shot to death in Iraq AP-24 minutes agoBAGHDAD，IraqGunmen were seen shooting into Shiite Muslim religious meetings in the capital Sunday, killing at least 20 people in another bloody attack that many Iraqis fear is pushing them toward civil war.Israel seizes senior West Bank lawmaker AP33 minutes agoRAMALLAH，West BankIsraeli forces seized a senior Palestinian legislator Sunday in the latest move in a 7-week-old crackdown on the ruling Hamas movement, drawing angry accusations（指责）from Palestinian leaders that Israel is ruining their efforts to form a unity government.Israel puts conditions on peacekeepers AP-2 hours, 42 minutes agoJERUSALEMIsrael Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that countries that dont have diplomatic relations with the Jewish state should not join in the international peacekeeping force that will police a truce（停战期）along the Lebanese border, his office said.49According to the military reports, at least members of the U.S. military have died as a result of hostile action.A2606B2069C2020D202050From the news above we can learn that .AIsrael will not allow some countries to send peacekeepers along the Lebanese borderBIsraeli forces seized a senior Palestinian legislator to force him into forming a unity governmentC20 people from Israel were shot dead in IraqDPeople who died in Iraqi War were mostly civilians51The news above can most probably be found .Ain a newspaperBin a magazineCin a story bookDon the InternetDIt may look like just another playgroup, but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about.“Its a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songssome of the classed also have arts and crafts,”said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Language Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual（双语的）.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual（视觉的）aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign.“Children have a unique ability to learn many languages at the same time,” said Thibaut.“Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet.” Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibaut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with childs play.“I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently,” said Marc Lazare, who put his son at the school.“I figured at this age, two,”its a perfect time for him to learn.Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a great sense of confidence. One young student boasted that besides French, she can speak five languages（though that included“monkey”and“lion”）. The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents.“I think they sometimes speak French when they think I wont understand them,”said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minute up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included so kids can practice on their own.52The word“bilingual”in the first paragraph probably means .Acapable of using two languagesBboth clever and confidentCaware of their own limitations and strengthsDindependent of their parents53According to Thibaut, it is possible .Afor children to take advantage of their parents by using a foreign languageBto expose children to a foreign language after they can speak EnglishCto combine language lessons with sports gamesDfor children to learn several languages at the same time54The school teaches languages by .Aexposing children to the new environmentBusing modern methods and equipmentCcombining language lessons with gamesDgiving children confidence55What would be the best title for this text?AA Unique Language School for ChildrenBThe Foreign Language for Children to LearnCSpecial Songs and Visual Aids in LearningDThe Best Way to Learn a Foreign LanguageEJust as mankind has always had a desire to fly, the human race has wanted to swim under the water since prehistoric times. But our dream of moving freely beneath the ocean waves for long periods of time was only realized about 60 years ago, when French diving legend Jacques Cousteau developed the first practical Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus（SCUBA）.Since then the sport of SCUBA diving has gone from strength to strength.Lovers of SCUBA diving like the feeling of weightlessness, the peace and quiet under the water, and the sense of adventure they get while on a dive. SCUBA divers often travel to some of the most beautiful and remote places in the world in the search for rare underwater animals and plants. Palau, the Red Sea, the Maldives and Hawaii have many of the most popular diving sites.SCUBA diving is not without its dangers, however. The mixture of nitrogen（氮）and oxygen divers breathe underwater, combined with the pressure under the water can be deadly if a diver rises too quickly to the surface, causing a condition calledthe bends. Divers can also get lost or trapped when diving on wrecks, and deaths are particularly common in cave diving, where divers add to the dangers of diving by swimming through underground caves filled with water. Diving can also be harmful to the underwater environment. However, proper diving can open up a whole new world, far from the stresses of daily life.56What is the writers purpose to write the article?ATo advertise some popular diving sites.BTo describe how to dive underwater.CTo warn people against diving in the sea.DTo give some information about SCUBA diving.57What can we learn from the text?AThere is uncertainty about SCUBA diving safety.BDivers have caused a lot of damage to the environment.CSCUBA diving is an old sport with a long history.DDivers always face the pressu
