【題目】 Throughout history, music spread among people of different cultures. In today’s technological advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artist’s permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music online without permission is theft.

Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand the influence of music piracy (盜版行為) on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.

There are many people who don’t see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.

Although we don’t spread today’s music the same way we did before, there’s no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.

【1】The underlined phrase “cracking down on” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ___________.

A.bringing up carefullyB.speaking highly of

C.dealing seriously withD.destroying completely

【2】What can we infer from the text?

A.Artists are taking action to protect their right.

B.Sharing music files online affects a lot of people.

C.Online music sharing increases sales of music CD.

D.A person who bought a CD has the right to share it online.

【3】How is the text organized?

B.Opinion—Discussion—Description.

C.Main idea—Comparison—Supporting statements.

D.Introduction—Supporting statements—Conclusion.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章主要講述了未經(jīng)允許在網(wǎng)上分享音樂(lè)是偷竊行為，并從其造成的不利影響和侵權(quán)方面作了分析，同時(shí)提倡了人們需要購(gòu)買自己的音樂(lè)，這樣藝術(shù)家才能獲得足夠的利潤(rùn)來(lái)繼續(xù)他們的音樂(lè)事業(yè)。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線短語(yǔ)所在句“This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice.”可知，前后分句由and連接，為順承關(guān)系，且前一句提及“This can lead to many problems(這會(huì)導(dǎo)致很多問(wèn)題)”，根據(jù)常識(shí)和順承關(guān)系可以推知后一句在表達(dá)音樂(lè)公司在采取措施解決問(wèn)題。因此可以推知?jiǎng)澗�詞組“cracking down on”應(yīng)與選項(xiàng)C“dealing seriously with(認(rèn)真處理)”表達(dá)含義一致。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第4句至末尾內(nèi)容“To truly understand the influence of music piracy on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.( 要真正了解音樂(lè)盜版對(duì)創(chuàng)作者的影響，必須了解有多少人參與了錄制過(guò)程。對(duì)于每張專輯的銷售，利潤(rùn)必須在音樂(lè)家、音響工程師、音樂(lè)制作人、經(jīng)理、廣告商和銷售產(chǎn)品的公司之間分享。許多人認(rèn)為共享音樂(lè)只會(huì)影響唱片藝術(shù)家，但事實(shí)是，共享會(huì)損害所有相關(guān)公司的業(yè)務(wù)。)”可知，在線分享音樂(lè)會(huì)影響一些相關(guān)的很多人。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。分析可知，第一段提出中心話題-- Sharing music online without permission is theft.；第二段講述網(wǎng)絡(luò)分享音樂(lè)對(duì)所有創(chuàng)作者的不利影響；第三段從侵權(quán)方面講述了其不當(dāng)之處；第四段總結(jié)全文（Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.）因此，本文的段落結(jié)構(gòu)為總分總結(jié)構(gòu)。故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)為總分結(jié)構(gòu)，第一段提出了本文的中心話題：Sharing music online without permission is theft.( 未經(jīng)允許在網(wǎng)上分享音樂(lè)是偷竊行為。)。選項(xiàng)A “Music piracy is kind of theft.( 音樂(lè)盜版是一種盜竊行為。)”貼合主旨要義。故選A項(xiàng)。

During the National Day holiday, my parents and I paid a visit my grandparents by train. There was a large number of people and the train was crowded, but everyone helped those who had lots of baggages and behaved politely. Along the way, we enjoyed beautifully views. At the first, we saw one hill after another. Then what came into view were fields with green crops. After a six-hour trip, they arrived at our grandparents’ house.

【題目】 Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kill proved the English professor was right. Dr Kill filled an open oil pail (桶) with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both in the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack of covers on the pails is the secret. Some of the warm water changed into vapor. This meant that less of the warm water was left to be frozen. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.

【1】Hundreds of years ago, Sir Francis Bacon found _______.

A.the temperature of warm water drops faster than that of cold water

B.warm water is heavier than cold water

C.warm water has the same temperature as cold water

D.warm water is not as useful as cold water

【2】Leave a pail with warm water and another pail with cold water in the same low temperature, you’ll find that _______.

A.cold water freezes first

B.warm water turns into ice before cold water

C.warm water and cold water freeze at the same time

D.much of cold water is changed into air.

【3】Why does warm water freeze first in the same freezing weather? _______

A.Because some of the warm water turns to vapor, the amount becomes less than that of cold water.

B.Because warm water is lighter than cold water.

C.Because the temperature of warm water is lower than that of cold water.

D.Because cold water freezes with more difficulty than warm water.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份額) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”

The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.

“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

【題目】 About 4 million children worldwide develop asthma(哮喘) each year because of nitrogen dioxide(NO2 , 二氧化氮) air pollution, according to a study published by researchers at the George Washington University. The study estimates(估算) that 64 percent of these new cases of asthma occur in urban areas.

“The study is the first to quantify the worldwide burden of new pediatric(兒科的) asthma cases linked to traffic-related nitrogen dioxide by using a method that takes into account high exposure to this pollutant that occurs near busy roads, ” said Susan C. Anenberg, PhD, the senior author of the study.

“Our findings suggest that millions of new cases of pediatric asthma could be prevented in cities around the world by reducing air pollution,” said Anenberg. “Improving access to cleaner forms of transportation, like electrified public transport, cycling and walking, would not only bring down NO2 levels, but would also improve physical fitness, and cut greenhouse gas emissions(排放). ”

Asthma is a disease that makes it hard to breathe when the lung’s airways are swollen. An estimated 235 million people worldwide at present have asthma, which can cause life-threatening attacks.

The World Health Organization calls air pollution “a major environmental risk to health” and has offered Air Quality Guidelines for NO2 and other air pollutants. The researchers estimate that most children lived in areas below the NO2, guideline. They also found that about 92 percent of the new pediatric asthma cases that were caused by NO2 occurred in areas that already meet the WHO guideline.

“That finding suggests that the WHO guideline for NO2 may need to be re-evaluated to make sure it is conducive to the protection of children’s health,” said Pattanun Achakulwisut, PhD, lead author of the paper.

Additional research must be done to more persuasively identify what is leading to asthma within complex traffic emissions. This effort will help to improve the estimates of new asthma cases tied to traffic emissions.

【1】What can we learn from Susan C. Anenberg?

A.Old forms of getting around need to be replaced.

B.Few cases of pediatric asthma occur in urban areas.

C.Pediatric asthma increases because of unclean energy.

D.Greener transportation helps to reduce asthma cases.

【2】What can we infer about the Air Quality Guidelines for NO2?

A.It proved persuasive.B.It seemed unreasonable.

C.It would be abandoned.D.It turned out instructive.

【3】What does the underlined word “conducive” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Beneficial.B.Open.

C.Equal.D.Familiar.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.Asthma has put children’s life in unavoidable danger.

B.WHO should improve Air Quality Guidelines for NO2.

C.NO2 air pollution causes children to suffer from asthma.

D.Air pollution is a serious worldwide problem nowadays.

My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCA. My wife and I were traveling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.

We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida. Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn't right but just couldn't find out what was happening .Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time. As I came around, I quickly realized a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me .Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.

My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive,

checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurse, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.

【題目】 Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

【1】 We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This 'self-talk' helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 【2】

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in 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. 【3】

Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 【4】 If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 【5】 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

A. Is it loving?

B. How should I say it?

C. We all talk to ourselves sometimes.

D. Negative words destroy all those things.

E. Generally people like positive and pleasant words.

F. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.

G. So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.
