Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.‎ The child's mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. "Doctor," she said, "you have saved my little son. I don't know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it." The doctor stood up and said coldly, "Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done." The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, "Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?"‎ ‎"Fifty pounds", he answered.‎ The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.‎ ‎21.

They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.‎ Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.‎ Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and ‎ success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.‎ Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.‎ ‎25．According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _______.‎ A. improving their classroom skills and paying attention B. improving their classroom skills and imagination C. improving their attention, direction and imagination D. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas ‎26．What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?‎ A. unwilling to turn on B. always looking C. unwilling to leave D. always playing ‎27．The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could ________.‎ A. give children self-expression and self-confidence B. bring to children achievement and success C. give children something to be proud of D. develop children's self-confidence ‎28．What's the best title of this passage？‎ A. Music is a must as a course at school ‎ B. Music builds children's self-confidence C. Music makes students much smarter ‎ D. Learning music and making music C In 1901,H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"‎ H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.‎ Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.‎ But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice‎ ‎Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.‎ Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?‎ ‎29. The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people"‎ ‎ A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language ‎ C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology ‎30. What does the underlined word "it" (Paragraph 2) refer to?‎ ‎ A. Discovering the moon's inner space. B. Using the earth's inner space.‎ ‎ C. Meeting the "moon people" again. D. Traveling to outer space.‎ ‎31. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?‎ ‎ A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. ‎ C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.‎ ‎32. What would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Alice‎ ‎Cities—cities of the future. B. Space travel with H.G.Wells.‎ ‎ C. Enjoy living underground. D. Building down, not up D Zoe, Damacela, 19, didn't have nice clothes when she was young. It wasn't easy for ‎ Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.‎ Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing (缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity indesigns," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”‎ Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.‎ Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her plan grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe’s success became a news item. Supermodel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized, I felt really unreal,” says Zoe. Zoe has advice for teens who want to start their own business. “If you really work hard on it, you will be able to make it happen,” she says. “If I can do it, anyone else can.”‎ ‎33．We can learn that_____________ when she was in grade nine.‎ A. Zoe had no interest in designing clothes ‎ B. Zoe seldom wore her self-made clothes C. Zoe didn’t know how to make money ‎ D. Zoe attended a business course ‎34．After winning the contest, Zoe _____________.‎ A. considered it a reward B. expected to be known C. was proud of her own gift D. could hardly believe it ‎35．Zoe advised the teens_____________.‎ A. to make efforts to achieve their dreams ‎ B. to design and make their own clothes C. to try every means to be famous ‎ D. to do whatever they would like to 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。 ‎ How to Calm Your Teen's Nerves before an Exam Stress is a feeling of physical, mental of emotional strain of tension（张力，拉力; ） which disturbs or interferes with normal physiological (生理）balance.
