It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain.Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.Western country music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) in the American western countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins, and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played western country music.In recent years, many musicians have made western country music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers such as Carth Brooks, Reba McEmtire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles. They have brought western country music more and more fans from all over the world.25 . Western country music comes from the folk songs of immigrants from _.AAmericaBFranceCBritainDGermany26 .

He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We carefully began a conversation and spoke about a lot of things. We never introduced ourselves.I thought that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee. I asked, May I get you something? A coffee would be nice. Then I bought him a cup of coffee,we talked more,and he accepted another cup of coffee.Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and went to the exit. At the door I met one of my friends.

In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.34 . What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?ASome of them are not attractive.BMost of them are too expensive to preserve.CThey are more pleasing than modern buildings.DThey have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.35 .

Which of the following is true according to the author?AWe should reproduce the same old buildings.BBuildings should not dominate their surroundings.CSome old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.DNo one understands why people speak against new buildings.37 . By using “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_”.ADestroy old buildingsBPut things in a different placeCChoose new architectural stylesDRespect peoples feelings for historical buildings38 . What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo explain why people dislike change.BTo warn that we could end up with living in caves.CTo admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.DTo argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas.39 .

He had 17 horses. One day, he died. In his will (遗嘱), the old man said that the eldest son would have half of the 17 horses, the second one would get one third and the youngest one would get one ninth!All of them were very puzzled (困惑的) to read the will. They spent several days thinking how to divide 17 horses, but couldnt find the answer.They finally asked a wise (智慧的) man in their village for help. The wise man quickly found a way. He asked them to bring all 17 horses to a large place. Then he brought one of his horses and made the number of the horses become 18.He asked the first son to read the will.
