I don't suppose there are many people around who remember Larry Adler. Come to think of it, I haven't heard anyone play the harmonica for many years. This is a pity because it's an easy instrument to learn and it's always pleasant to hear someone play an instrument just for the pleasure of making music.‎ I suppose everybody now can listen to electronic music 24 hours a day, so nobody needs to produce their own music. I was lucky enough to be brought up before the electronic revolution, so there were many people who played instruments. It might not have been perfect, but it was joyful.‎ At every party there was somebody who would sit at the piano or pick up a guitar and play for people to dance or sing along. My father taught all three of his children to blow a tune (曲调) on the harmonica, "mouth organ". He started us on the simple Afrikaans tune, and then we learned to play just about anything, simply by listening and following.‎ Every year the neighbours came together for a picnic by the river and after putting all the food and chairs under the trees, the dads would cook and the moms would hand out the food. Then there was a lazy after-lunch time and somebody would softly play a mouth organ until it was time to make coffee before going home.‎ I suppose if we were to organise a picnic today it would be silent with everybody using their phones. Meaningful stuff, I guess, but sometimes look back to the time when we made our own music. It may not have been good music, but it was shared music, home-made and environmentally friendly. Today you could call that kind of music organic. I miss it.‎ ‎21. What does the author think is a pity?‎ A. Not hearing the harmonica being played for years. B. People losing the pleasure of making music. ‎ C. The harmonica being difficult to learn. D. People not remembering Larry Adler.‎ ‎22. How did the author learn to play the harmonica? ‎ A. He was taught by his father. B. He followed his neighbours.‎ C. He was taught by a musician. D. He played it by listening to a CD.‎ ‎23. What did the author think of organising a picnic today?‎ A. It would be disorderly. B. It would have less joy.‎ C. It would be very meaningful. D. It would not be properly prepared.‎ B The Museum of London is starting to unearth what might turn out to be as many as 3,000 human skeletons (遗骸) under a train station in the United Kingdom's capital. The bones were exposed when workers began building a new entrance to a train station in London, England.‎ As the first city burial (埋葬) ground in London, Bedlam was probably used between 1569 and 1738. Its name comes from the nearby Hospital of Saint Mary of Bethlehem, which people also called Bedlam. Often, the people buried in Bedlam could not afford to be buried anywhere else. The burial ground also served as an overflow cemetery (墓地). That means that if other cemeteries became full, a person would be buried in Bedlam instead. It is believed that there could be a total of 20,000 skeletons in the overall burial ground. ‎ Experts think studying the skeletons may help them learn about London's past, including questions about the Black Death, a deadly disease that had a terrible influence on much of the ‎ world. It started in the mid1300s and swept through Asia, Africa, and Europe. Historians believe almost 50 million people died of the disease, including many of those buried at Bedlam. “Sixteen sixtyfive saw the very last recorded period of the disease，” says Jay Carver, the leading expert on the project. Carver and his team believe the Bedlam bodies may explain why the outbreak suddenly stopped.‎ The dig site also sits above an even older Roman (古罗马的) road (between the 2nd and 3rd century A．D.). Archaeologists (考古学家) have already found a large number of objects from Roman times, including horseshoes and urns. Nick Elsden, the project manager for the site, says, “This is the UK's largest archaeology project, in what is one of the oldest areas of the city, so we stand to learn a great deal.”‎ ‎24．The underlined word “exposed” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．‎ A．studied B．found C．returned D．searched ‎25．We can learn from the text that Bedlam________.‎ A．served as a cemetery for poor people B．used to be a train station ‎ C．got its name thanks to Jay Carver D．was once taken up by Germen ‎26．What kind of emotion was expressed in Nick Elsden's words?‎ A．Sadness B．Anger C．Regret. D．Expectation ‎27．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．History of the Black Death B．Skeleton secrets in London ‎ C．The Museum of London D．A Roman road in Bedlam C Our nation was founded on the principle that anyone who works hard should be able to get ahead in life. People with disabilities should have an equal chance to earn an income, achieve independence, and be included, just like anyone else.‎ Employment is about a lot more than just a paycheck: It provides a way to do something for the community, the chance to develop friendships, and a way to improve our health. As with all of us, the work we do and the career we have often show others our abilities.‎ People with disabilities who have been welcomed into the workforce at all levels have proven to be born clever and creative. Stephen Hawking unlocked secrets of the universe(宇宙) from a wheelchair. Engineer Ralf Hotchkiss created the Torbellino wheelchair. The voice-activated TV remote control (遥控器) was invented by blind engineer.‎ ‎ According to the University of New Hampshire's Annual Disability Statistics Compendium, there are millions of working-age people with disabilities living in our nation. Even though most of them would like to find meaningful employment, only about a third have been able to find jobs.‎ There are also millions of job openings today and millions of people with disabilities ready to work. As bosses face a real shortage of able employees, employing people with disabilities can be a great solution.‎ There are many solutions that can ensure the success of employees with disabilities. Askjan.org offers employers and job hunters free guidance about how to use technology to ensure inclusion. Tapability. org offers thousands of resumes (简历) of professionals (专业人员) with disabilities in all 50 states. Besides, the National Disability Mentoring Coalition works to guide people with disabilities to start their careers. So if you have a job opening, why not invite people with disabilities for interviews?‎ Any of the millions of people with disabilities now being refused could be the person who discovers Alzheimer's (阿尔茨海默氏病) prevention or a new clean energy source. We must imagine a world where we expect more from people with disabilities and enable them to achieve success.‎ ‎28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A. The nature of work. B. The meaning of work.‎ C. How much people like to work. D. How one's abilities affect work.‎ ‎29. Why does the author use the examples of people with disabilities in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To show they can succeed at a job. B. To prove they are worth respecting.‎ C. To tell us they care little about their income. D. To advise us to create a caring environment. ‎ D. The number of working-age disabled people is dropping.‎ ‎30.What is the purpose of askjan.org and tapability.org?‎ A. To introduce jobs to people with disabilities.‎ B. To help people with disabilities set up in business.‎ C. To get more people with disabilities into working.‎ D. To instruct employers to choose employees carefully.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Things you can do to be a happier person ‎ Want to become a happier person? Follow these suggestions.‎ Pick up a book.‎ ‎ 31 Sometimes life is just a lot to deal with. Change that up by reading about someone else's life. There really is book out there for everyone. If you don't like reading you can also pick up a comic book (连环画杂志) or read all about your favorite superheroes.‎ ‎ 32 ‎ Let yourself make mistakes. Put yourself out there and stop letting them hold you down. 33 In fact, if they, have time to talk about you, they need more activities to fill up their day. You're already great, so don't let dark thoughts keep you in an unhappy situation.‎ It' s okay to have a good cry.‎ Sometimes you work as hard as you can and are still not good enough. 34 What is meant for you will happen to you, so don't always think of failure. Don't bottle up your feelings. Let those tears run. Did you know that only humans and elephants cry in order to show emotions ‎ (情感)? So one of humans' abilities is to be a cry-baby.‎ Get happier by getting a good sleep.‎ Forget all your worries and plan ahead for tomorrow. There's nothing wrong with making sure you're well rested. 35 The early bird gets the worm (虫) so set an early bedtime. If you can't' do that, take a nap (小睡) during the day to refresh yourself. There's nothing too important that can't wait until after a good sleep.‎ A. Work hard and treat yourself.‎ B. Try to get lost in another world.‎ C. Don’ t take yourself too seriously.‎ D. When that happens, all you need to do is let it all out.‎ E. Your best work will come after your mind has had time to take a break.‎ F.

Everyone says he's inspiring. And he has a lot of energy. Next, Mrs. Lafferty's on our list. She was “Teacher of the Year” last year! She's really intelligent and her classes are great. Students love her because she is so encouraging. She always gives support by saying good things. OK, next is Mr Peters. To tell the truth, he isn't such a popular teacher. His class is hard but he's serious and people respect him. The last teacher on our list is Ms. Jones. She's also serious and she works hard. She often stays after school to meet with students to help them with their studies. OK. That's all the information of these teachers. Why don't we take a five-minute break to think about this and come back and decide?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
