Landing on these shores on February 7, 1964, they literally stood the world of pop culture on its head, setting the musical agenda for the remainder of the decade. The Beatles' buoyant melodies, playful personalities and mop-topped charisma were just the tonic needed by a nation left reeling by the senseless assassination of its young president, John F. Kennedy, barely two months earlier. Even adults typically given to scorning rock and roll as worthless "kid's stuff" were forced to concede that there was substance in their music and quick-witted cleverness in their repartee. Without exaggeration, they transfixed and transformed the world as we knew it, ushering in a demographic shift in which youth culture assertively took over from its stodgy Eisenhower-era forbears. The long journey resulting in the mob scene that greeted the Beatles' arrival at Kennedy Airport began in Liverpool back in 1958. A series of groups, including the Quarrymen and the Johnny and the Moondogs, variously included Liverpool natives John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. With a rhythm section consisting of bassist Stu Sutcliffe (an art student with great looks and scant musical ability) and drummer Pete Best, the group assumed the name "the Beatles." The group became a fixture on the rough-and-tumble bar scene in Hamburg, Germany, where their five-set-a-night marathons helped mold them into a tight performing unit. Their early repertoire consisted of well-chosen rock and roll and rhythm & blues covers, running the gamut from Chuck Berry to Little Richard. In April 1961, Sutcliffe left and McCartney switched from guitar to bass. On the local scene in their hometown of Liverpool, the group landed a lunchtime residency at a club called the Cavern, where they were discovered by a local record merchant and entrepreneur, Brian Epstein, who became their manager in December 1961. Epstein helped polish the group's appearance, dressing them in dapper collarless gray suits and making them appear more friendly than menacing. After being rejected by Decca Records following a January 1962 audition, the Beatles signed with EMI-Parlophone that April, having impressed producer George Martin. In August, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey), who'd been drumming with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, was brought into replace Pete Best. The group's first single, "Love Me Do/P.S. I Love You," briefly dented the U.K. Top Twenty in October 1962, but their next 45, "Please Please Me," formally ignited Beatlemania in their homeland, reaching the Number Two spot. It was followed by four consecutive chart-topping British singles, issued throughout 1963: "From Me to You," "She Loves You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Can't Buy Me Love." They conquered the U.K., even inducing a classical music critic from the London Sunday Times to declare them "the greatest composers since Beethoven." The group's success was based around the Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership, Harrison's guitar-playing prowess, and Starr's amiable disposition and artful simplicity as a drummer. The Beatles' conquest of America early in 1964 launched the British Invasion, as a torrent of rock and roll bands from Britain overtook the pop charts. The Fab Four's first Number One single in the U.S. was "I Want to Hold Your Hand," released on Capitol Records, EMI's American counterpart. This exuberant track was followed by 45 more Top Forty hits over the next half-dozen years. During the week of April 4, 1964, the Beatles set a record that is likely never to be broken when they occupied all five of the top positions on Billboard's Top Pop Singles chart, with "Can't Buy Me Love" ensconced at Number One. Their popularity soared still further with the release of their playfully anarchic documentary film, A Hard Day's Night, in August 1964. When all was said and done, the Beatles charted 20 Number One singles in the States - a number even greater than runner-up Elvis Presley's 17 chart-toppers. For such feats of sales and airplay alone, the Beatles can unassailably be regarded as the top group in rock and roll history. Yet their significance as a band extends beyond numbers to encompass their innovations in the recording studio. The Beatles' legacy as a concert attraction, during their harried passage from nightclubs to baseball stadiums, is distinguished primarily by the deafening screams of female fans overcome by the group's very appearance. Consequently, the Beatles began to indulge their creative energies in the studio, layering sounds and crafting songs in a way no one had attempted before. The results included such musically expansive and lyrically sophisticated albums as Rubber Soul (1965) and Revolver (1966). For various reasons, ranging from safety concerns to frustration that no one could hear or was listening, the Beatles retired from touring after a San Francisco concert on August 29, 1966. Ten months later, they released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album that has almost universally been cited as the creative apotheosis of rock and roll, a watershed event in which rock became "serious art" without losing its sense of humor (or sense of the absurd). Realizing the band members' collective ambitions took four months and all the technical wiles of producer George Martin. A completely self-contained album meant to be played and experienced from start to finish, Sgt. Pepper broke the mold in that no singles were released from it. The album's heady artistic reach further cemented the notion of a viable counterculture in the minds of youthful dropouts everywhere. Anyone who was alive in the summer of 1967 can remember the pleasant shock of hearing it and the reverberations it sent outward into the world of rock and roll and beyond. In the wake of Sgt. Pepper, the Beatles began to splinter in ways that were, at first, subtle but that gradually grew more pronounced. Subsequent events included the death of manager Epstein due to an overdose of sleeping pills; the release of the TV film Magical Mystery Tour, which earned the Beatles some of their first negative reviews; a trip to India to meditate with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, about whom Lennon wrote the scabrous putdown "Sexy Sadie"; and the launching in January 1968 of Apple Corps, Ltd., a disastrously mismanaged entertainment empire that helped bring down the Beatles amid a tangled maze of money matters. Through all the chaotic events of the late Sixties, the Beatles managed to retain their integrity and focus as recording artists. Released in August 1968, the single "Hey Jude"/"Revolution" became their most popular single. The Beatles (1968), a double-LP popularly referred to as "the White Album," was like a prism that found the group refracting into four individual and highly estimable talents. The album and film Let It Be, recorded in 1969 but shelved until 1970, essentially documented the Beatles' dissolution and breakup amid internal squabbles and the presence of John Lennon's new mate, Yoko Ono. Yet the Beatles came together and exited on a high note, uniting in the summer of 1969 to record their swan song, Abbey Road. On April 10, 1970, Paul McCartney announced his departure from the Beatles, and the group quietly came to an end. Throughout the Seventies, fans hoped for an eventual reunion, while the group members pursued solo careers with varying degrees of artistic and commercial success. Those hopes were forever dashed by the murder of John Lennon in New York City on December 8, 1980. July 7, 1940 Ringo Starr was born. October 9, 1940 John Lennon is born at Oxford Street Maternity Hospital in Liverpool, England, to Julia Stanley and Alfred Lennon. June 18, 1942 James Paul McCartney is born in Liverpool, England.

His incessant playing prompts John's Aunt Mimi to say, "The guitar's all very well as a hobby, John, but you'll never make a living out of it." John forms his first group, the Quarrymen. July 6, 1957 John Lennon meets Paul McCartney at the Woolton Parish Church in Liverpool during a performance by John's group the Quarrymen. Impressed by Paul's ability to tune a guitar and by his knowledge of song lyrics, John asks him to join the group. February 1, 1958 Paul McCartney introduces George Harrison to the Quarrymen at a basement teen club called the Morgue. George joins the group.

November 29, 2001 George Harrison dies at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer. Who are the monkees? In November 1965, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz came together as The Monkees to film a pilot television program for creator/producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider’s Raybert Productions. The group members were selected via a casting call, word of mouth and just plain luck. All four had prior musical and acting experience. The Monkees series was sold to the NBC network in February 1966 and began shooting at the end of May. It debuted on September 12, 1966 and ran for two seasons. Fifty-eight half-hour programs were produced over an 18-month period, and the show won two Emmy awards in 1967. During June ‘66, the Monkees started recording sessions for the show’s soundtrack with a variety of producers and songwriters. Contrary to popular belief, the Monkees did perform instrumentally on some of these sessions and provided the lead vocals for all of their recorded efforts. Additionally, group member Michael Nesmith produced and wrote some of the Monkees’ earliest recordings. Without a doubt, the architects of the Monkees’ sound were Music Coordinator Don Kirshner and songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. In addition to composing and performing the music featured in The Monkees pilot from November ’65, Boyce and Hart’s creations included “Last Train To Clarksville” (#1 in 1966), “(Theme From) The Monkees,” “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” (#20 in 1966), “Valleri” (#3 in 1968), “Words” (#11 in 1967), “I Wanna Be Free” and “She.” The Monkees scored their biggest hit in late 1966 with Jeff Barry’s production of the Neil Diamond song, “I’m A Believer.” Despite this success, friction developed between the group and Music Coordinator Don Kirshner. Stung by the criticism that they did not participate in their own records, the Monkees took control of their musical destiny. During 1967, the Monkees created two albums (Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.) and two singles (“Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “Daydream Believer”) as a full-fledged musical unit with only minimal use of outside musicians. However, by November of ‘67, the individual Monkees had decided to pursue their recorded exploits separately. In 1968, the Monkees starred in their one and only feature film, Head. A collaborative effort with Jack Nicholson, the movie found only a limited initial audience, but has gone onto to become a cult classic. Towards the end of ’68, the Monkees taped a television special for NBC called 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee. It was to be Peter Tork’s last original project with the band. Dissatisfied with the separate direction the group’s recordings had taken, he split in December ’68. Micky, Davy and Michael continued as a trio for the next year. They mounted a nationwide tour with a backing band called Sam & The Goodtimers, but found their popularity diminishing. Record-breaking Saturday morning reruns of The Monkees series in ‘69 provided something of a rebirth, but record sales did not rebound. In early 1970, Michael Nesmith split from the Monkees to form the First National Band. Micky and Davy recorded one further album (Changes) and single (“Do It In The Name Of Love”) before going their separate ways. In 1975, Micky and Davy reunited with songwriters Boyce and Hart for live shows and records as Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart. Ten years later, promoter David Fishof organized a massively successful tour featuring Micky, Davy and Peter. Just a few days short of the 20th anniversary of The Monkees series’ debut, Nesmith briefly rejoined his bandmates on stage at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater for performances of “Listen To The Band” and “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” After this, the four Monkees taped a Christmas video for MTV, but this reunion was fleeting. Nevertheless, 1986 proved to be a phenomenal year for Monkeemania. By November, seven Monkees albums were on the Billboard charts and a new single from Micky and Peter (“That Was Then, This Is Now”) went Top 40. This success was due in large part to the re-airing of The Monkees series by MTV (in a deal worked out by Bert Schneider). In 1987, Micky, Davy and Peter recorded a new album together, Pool It! (for Rhino) and two years later the entire group reunited to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. After this event, all was quiet on the Monkee front until 1994 when producer/creators Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider sold the entire Monkees legacy of films and recordings to Rhino. Two years on, Nesmith regrouped the Monkees for an album called Justus. As the title implied, this was a group effort ala 1967’s Headquarters. An ABC network television special, Hey Hey We’re The Monkees, directed by Nesmith returned the group to prime time for one night only. Forty years on from their initial debut, the Monkees are all pursuing different avenues of creativity. Their first two albums have just been reissued by Rhino as deluxe two-CD sets and the future looks exciting for Monkees enthusiasts.

Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? 你梦想在成千上万的人面前举办音乐会,人人都为你喝彩,赞颂的音乐? 本句at which 引导的是非限制性定语从句,可以改写为:Have you ever dreamed of being in front of thousands of people at a concert, with everyone clapping and appreciating your music? With复合结构中的everyone和clapping是逻辑主谓关系。复合结构的构成:with+宾语+宾语补足语,构成with复合结构,宾语可以是名词或是代词,宾语补足语可以是介词短语、过去分词、现在分词、形容词、动词不定式、副词。且with后面的宾语与其后的宾语补足语有逻辑上的主谓关系。 1)With+宾语+介词短语He was asleep with his head on his arms. 2)with+宾语+过去分词(宾语与宾补之间是被动关系) All the afternoon he worked with the door locked. He lay in bed with his head covered. 3)with+宾语+现在分词(宾语与宾补之间是主动关系) With winter coming on,it's time to buy warm clothes. 4)with+宾语+to do(不定式做宾补有“将来”的含义) I can't go out with all these dishes to wash. 5)with+宾语+形容词/副词With John away,we've got more room. Anderson was lying on the bed with all his clothes on. 2. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practicing music in someone’s house is the first step to fame. 开始的时候他们往往是中学生组合,对于他们来说,在某个同学家练习是走向成功的第一步。 句中for + whom 引导的是定语从句。“介词 + 关系代词”中的介词主要有以下三种确定方法: ① 根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词来选用介词。如:The fellow to whom I spoke made no answer at first. (speak to) The West Lake, for which Hangzhou is famous, is a beautiful place. (be famous for) ② 根据先行词来确定介词。如:In his room, we saw a big table on which there were all kinds of books. (on the table) Yesterday we had a meeting at which we discussed many problems. (at the meeting) ③ 根据定语从句所表达的意义来确定介词。如:Air, without which man can't live, is really important. In front of the house Tom is planting a tree, under which he will be able to sit and read some day. 3. However, there was one band that started in a different way. 然而有一个乐队起步的方式就不一样。 句中however是连词,表示转折,可以放在句首或者句中。例如:I thought those figures were correct. However, I have recently heard they were not. 我原以为那些数字正确无误。不过我最近听说并不正确。 However does he manage to write music when he is so deaf? 他聋成这个样子,究竟是怎样从事作曲的呢? His first response was to say no. Later, however, he changed his mind. 他最初的反应是不同意。可是後来他改变了主意。 She felt ill. She went to work, however, and tried to concentrate. 她病了。然而她照旧去上班,并且尽力集中精神工作。However I approached the problem, I couldn't find a solution. 这一问题我不管怎样都无法解决。 单元基础知识搜素 第一部分 基础测试 A. 单词拼写 请根据汉语提示或首字母写出单词的正确形式 1.

It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated(复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people. Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps(军营)in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world. 56. It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from . A. the Northeast and Midwest B. factories and army camps in the South C. the Appalachian Mountains and the West D. real-life stories in small towns 57. Before World War II country music was popular mainly in . A. the south B. the north C. the Midwest D. the Northeast 58. During World War II many Southerners went to the Northeast and the Mid-west because . A. they wanted to take music with them B. they wanted to make other people like country music C. they wanted to work in the factories there D. they wanted to make country music popular 59. Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the world today because . A. city people said it was low class B. people could sing it in many different languages C. it started with cowboys and poor Southerners D. it is loved by different kinds of people in the world 60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Country music is about human feelings and events. B. Country music is sung by stars all in English. C. Country music is popular among city people today. D. City people didn’t like country music at first. B Alice always wanted to be a singer. Music was the most important thing in her life and, to tell you the truth, she took lessons for years, and practiced every day, but in spite of all this, her voice didn’t improve. Honestly, it didn’t get better, it just got louder. Her teacher finally gave up and stopped the lessons, but Alice refused(拒绝)to give in, and one day she decided to give a concert and invited her teacher to attend. The teacher was very worried about what to say after the concert. She knew it would be terrible and it was. She didn’t want to tell a lie, but she didn’t want to hurt Alice’s feelings, either. Finally, she got an idea and went backstage (后台) to greet her pupil. “Well,” said Alice, “what did you think of my singing?” “My dear,” said the teacher, “you’ll never be better than you were tonight.” 61. Alice wanted to be a singer because she . A. was good at singing B. could do nothing but sing C. had a good teacher D. was most interested in music 62. Alice’s teacher stopped the lessons because . A. Alice didn’t make any improvement in singing B. Alice’s voice became louder and louder C. Alice didn’t work hard enough D. Alice was so proud and wouldn’t listen to her 63. What made Alice decide to give a concert? A. She wanted to prove that her teacher was wrong. B. She wanted to please her teacher. C. She was sure that she could sing beautifully. D. Somebody else wanted her to do so. 64. What is really meant by saying “You’ll never be better than you were tonight.”? A. You gave a wonderful concert tonight. B. You won’t make any improvement in future. C. You have never sung so well before. D. You did much better before than tonight. 65. If Alice’s teacher had told a lie, she might have said . A. “I don’t like the concert.” B. “You have made no progress.” C. “The concert tonight is terrible.” D. “Your concert tonight is excellent. C If parents bring up child with the aim of turning the child into a genius(天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists(心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic(不现实的) parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible (有理智的) way, the child may succeed in doing very well — especially if the parents are very supportive (支持的,鼓励的) of their child. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometres twice week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the trumpet (小号) in a large orchestra (管弦乐队). However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy. 66. The main idea of the passage is . A. how parents should make a child a musician B. how parents should bring up a child C. what differences there are between two kinds of parents D. what aim of a child can be much easier to reach 67. Michael is lucky because . A. his parents help him in a sensible way B. his family is rich enough to have a car C. his father is a musician in a orchestra D. he is free to do anything that he likes best 68. Winston’s parents set so high a standard for him that . A. he has to do his best to do everything B. he has made greater progress in music C. he is afraid he may disappoint them D. he often wants to kill himself some day 69. It is one of parents’ worst mistakes if . A. they want their child to be a musician B. they help their child to win music competitions C. they don’t care for their child’s education much D. they make their child try to achieve too much 70. According to the author’s opinion, . A. it is unimportant to let the children develop in the way they want B. parents should be supportive of their children C. all sensible parents can train their children to succeed in everything D. unrealistic parents should arrange private lessons for their children 第四部分 阅读表达 阅读下面短文,然后根据文章后的题目要求进行简答。 To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plots (情节), and the greatest interests, be as exciting or dramatic (富有戏剧性的)? I’m not sure about it. Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning — the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too — in the rhythm (旋律) of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meanings for everyone in some way or other. And, of course, ___________________ for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music. Once a great man said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.” 1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) __________________________________________________________________________ 2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? In my opinion, life would be less exciting if there was no music. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 3. Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.) ________________________________________________________________________ 4. What’s your opinion about the music in everyday life? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.) ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 5. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese. ________________________________________________________________________ 第五部分 书面表达 请你仔细阅读所给英文信,然后给Worried写一封回信。要求包含以下内容: 1、安慰鼓励。 2、记一些惯用词组和句型结构,将它们组织在一起并用其造句。 3、多读英语,告诉他通过大量阅读才能正确使用语言。 4、多背诵一些好的短文。 要求: 不要逐字逐条翻译,词数一百左右。 Dear Helpful, I’m a middle school students and I’m in trouble.

You know I have got poor results in English tests many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English tests.

A、C都不符合句意,discuss为及物动词,后直接接宾语,故只有B为正确答案。 41. show不符合句意,brought意思和时态都不恰当,排除A、D;letters可write,但gifts不行,排除B。故答案为C。 43. as a matter of fact为固定搭配,意为“事实上”。 44. 根据下句I began to sing判断,此处应为sing。 45. call up打电话;pick up捡起,拾起;join up连接起来;wake up叫醒。根据上下文,C为正确答案。 46 for miles around意为“周围几里”。 48. at the top of one’s voice习惯搭配,意为“以最大的噪音”。 50. 此处强调状态,不强调动作,因此用形容词open。 52. may可以用于礼貌地评价或提问等,意思是“可以”,例如:You look lovely, if I may say so. (我觉得你看上去很可爱)。 53. 解题时,首先确定I’d是I would还是I had的缩写。从句意看,I’d是I would的缩写。故选C项,构成I’d like to do sth结构。 54. Would you be kind enough to do…?是请某人做事或帮忙,是一种非常委婉客气的表达式。 55. drop in on sb. 意为visit sb. 拜访某人,故选D。 第三部分 阅读理解 56—60 CACDB 61—65 DACBD 66—70 CACDB 重点解析: 56. 从第二段前三句可以推知答案。 57.依据It was popular mostly in the South. 59.从短文最后一段可以得知。 60.依据最后一段,其他国家的人用自己的语言演唱。 61. 此题考查细节理解。第一段说明Alice对音乐最感兴趣。 62. 第一段末的那句话,表明Alice在唱歌方面没有任何进展,只是声音更大了,因此,她的老师才决定放弃。 64. 此题考查句意理解。老师委婉地说明Alice不适合学音乐,同时也不让她下不了台。“你不会再比今晚唱得好了”,意即你不会有什么提高了。 65. 老师因不想撒谎,才说了文中那句话。倘若老师违心,她该极力赞扬Alice的演唱会,说它“棒极了”。 66. 此题考查文章大意。这是一篇议论文。前两段提出问题,从反正两面提出如何培养教育(bring up) 孩子成才的问题;后两段从正反两面进行例证。 67. 此题考查上下文的逻辑关系。文章第二段从正面提出“如果家长不对孩子抱着不现实的幻想,而是以理智的方法对其进行帮助,孩子就有可能成功……”,而Michael就很幸运(Michael is very lucky)。接着文章第三段介绍了他的父母明智的(sensible)、支持(supportive)孩子学习的教育方式。 68. Winston的父母抱着不现实的期盼,给孩子定的目标太高,对孩子并没有什么帮助,反而使孩子总是担心会使父母失望。 69. 文章第一段提到:几位重要的教育心理学家认为,以把孩子培养成天才为目的,是有些家长所犯的最大的错误之一。 70. 此题考查作者的倾向性。从文章内容看,作者赞成对孩子的培养要现实、理智。 第四部分 阅读表达 1. Importance of Music. (评分要求:依据与文章整体内容的相关程度酌情给分。) 2. To me, life without music would not be exciting. (评分要求:要求准确找出以上的句子。) 3. it has special meanings (评分要求:要求给出的答案要保持与上下文的连贯性,而且与参考答案的意思相近。) 4. (略) (评分要求:只要给出文中所列四条建议中的任何一条即可得1分;能对做出的选择进行合理的解释可得2分。) 5. 但是不论人们是否意识到这一点,音乐在每一个人的生活中都起重要作用。 (评分要求:要求在准确、全面的基础上,翻译成较为通顺的汉语,并表达出作者的思路。) 第五部分 书面表达 One possible version: Dear Worried, I have received your letter and I’m glad to give you some suggestions. First of all, don’t be disappointed. Many students find it difficult to write well. In my opinion, if you want to improve your writing, you can do several things. First, do some study with set phrases and sentence structures. Keep a list of them and then try to make some sentences with them. Second, read as much as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly yourself. So, in order to write well, you must learn to read much. Finally, you’d better recite some good passages. Good luck to you in your writing.

The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?' I asked. "It is you !" she exclaimed, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good to see you again !" It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to track her down a few years ago after talking to a mutual friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rocky for Marci. So bumping into her at the baseball game was, at the very least, fortuitous. We spent a few minutes catching up on the business of our lives: kids and grandkids, spouses and houses, education and recreation (it's always a little disconcerting to see how few words are required to summarize 32 years of living). We played a little "have you seen...?" and "did you know...?" and we reminisced about the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. "You know, Joe," she said. " I've always wanted to tell you...how...how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. "It's OK," I said, "No big deal!" "But I was such a jerk" she continued. Yes you were. I thought.. "We were both pretty young." I smiled. "I know." she said. "But that's no excuse for..." She hesitated, then continued. "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry." The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes-- it looked a lot like relief. "OK," I said. "Apology accepted!" Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it. Of course, it isn't enough to just say "1'm sorry" and "You're forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart and soul. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul---even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game. 24. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage? A. Happy. B. Busy. C. Hard. D. Simple. 25. What does the underlined word "jerk" in the third paragraph mean? A. A humorous person. B. A cruel person. C. A careless person. D. An honest person. 26. Why did Maori look in relief after talking with the author? A. Because her favorite team won the game. B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life. C. Because she made an apology to the author. D. Because she found she was not mean any longer. 27. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Excitement of A Baseball Game B. Mental Burden of A Woman C. Relief of finding A friend D. Miracles of Forgiveness C The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾)dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale has a tendency to form an invisible cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache. Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling . Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days —truly terrible days for some —astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars. 28.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space? A. Deciding on a proper sleep position B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly D. Finding a right time to go to sleep. 29.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____. A. they circle around on their bikes B. they use microcomputers without a stop C. they exercise in one place for a long time D. they watch a movie while pedaling 30.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____. A. their senses stop working B. they have to stand up straight C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly D. whether they are able to go back to the station 31.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _____. A. how much exercise they do on the station B. how they can remain healthy for long in space C. whether they can recover after returning home D. whether they are able to go back to the station D In today’s difficult economic time, it’s natural to rethink your goal of studying abroad. Does the benefit outweigh the cost? The answer, in fact, is yes, when you look at the road ahead. When the economy becomes more challenged, competition for the workforce increases, and employers look for employees with the best credentials (凭证). Having an overseas degree — from a university where strong English skills are required — can make you more qualified for many jobs. In fact, as corporations become more globalized, having overseas experience becomes more important. The lifelong impact of studying abroad has been proven in several ways: A 50-year study of 3,400 students abroad shows that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to impact the participant’s life for years after the experience. 82% said that they acquired skill that influenced their career path. 70% stated that it ignited (点燃) an interest in a career direction that they pursued after the experience. And the effect on one’s career can be equally strong. A study by the Queensland, Australia government showed: 61% of employers stated overseas studying experience was positive on a graduate resume. 72% of employers felt that a second language made a graduate a more attractive employee. Still, there’s the question of how to pay for studying overseas. But the cost doesn’t have to be as high as you think. Scholarships may be available to cover some or all of these costs. And, there are plenty of ways to further offset (抵消) the cost — through financial tips, advice and grants. Hundreds of thousands of students will still study abroad this year. With a little financial savvy (见识) and advantage of the TOEFL test — the most accepted, most respected English-language test in the world — you could be one of them. 32. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage? A. Studying abroad is easy. B. Studying abroad is rewarding. C. The effects of studying abroad. D. The problems with studying abroad. 33. The author tries to prove his idea by . A. giving examples B. answering questions C. offering advice and solutions D. listing facts and numbers 34. The second study shows that studying abroad . A. helps one to get a job B. affects one’s whole life C. affects one’s career direction D. helps one to make more money 35. Which of the following is NOT the author’s opinion? A. Financial tips help you offset the costs. B. Scholarships can cover some of the costs. C. Money is not a problem for studying abroad. D. TOEFL test is the most popular English-language test. 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。 Do you find yourself unable to sleep or waking up night after night?

There is no doubt that it is convenient for you to learn Chinese online. And there are many different courses offered by different teachers or educational institutions, from which you may gain different experiences. Besides, some online courses can provide a platform for you to communicate with other learners. However, every coin has two sides. Online courses are not the same as traditional courses, in which you can have face-to-face communication with your teachers, discuss your problems with them, or get timely help from them, which are what online courses lack. On the whole, I advise you to take some online courses that are suitable for you and learn Chinese in a language school at the same time. Yours, Li Hua查看更多
