Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. 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 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. ‎ ‎24.

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 ‎ Insects (昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals. ‎ Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!‎ ‎ Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food. ‎ But insects will not replace (替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.‎ Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处) of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.‎ ‎28. Eating insects _____.‎ A. is not healthy B. makes people put on fat C. helps protect large animals D. is environmentally friendly ‎29. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show _____.‎ A. the high cost of food production B. it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insects C. raising insects is a good choice for farmers D. the different ways of feeding cows and insects ‎30. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _____.‎ A. their terrible taste B. people’s old beliefs C. family traditions D. eating methods ‎31. We can infer from David and other insect experts that _____.‎ A. people can make a lot of money from insects B. insects should be better protected ‎ C. people should eat more insects D. it’s dangerous to eat insects ‎ D ‎ Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money ‎ could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares(费用) for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.‎ ‎ Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.‎ ‎32. In the old days ______ could travel to other countries.‎ A. boys and girls, men or women, young or old B. either kings or queens C. both the poor and the rich D. nobody but those who had money ‎33. What makes travel more attractive than before?‎ A. Travel by air to other countries is much cheaper today.‎ B. More guides are being trained to show beautiful spots.‎ C. Modern telegraph lines make travel less expensive.‎ D. New hotels and restaurants have been built.‎ ‎34. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?‎ A. Tourism won’t bring any changes in people’s minds.‎ B. People have some trouble in making journey.‎ C. With the development of tourism, great changes have taken place in many parts in the world.‎ D. Tourism causes only some changes in clothing.‎ ‎35. What is the best title of the passage? ‎ ‎ A. The Change of Tourism B. Tourism ‎ ‎ C. The Importance of Tourism D. The Cause of Tourism Change 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Human Camera There is not anybody else quite like Stephen Wiltshire. Born in 1974, Stephen was always different. 36 In fact, he talked to nobody, showed no interest in school subjects and wasn’t able to sit still. Stephen was later told that he had autism(自闭症). He didn’t learn fully to talk until he was nine years old and he didn’t manage to pass his exams. 37 Art became his way to communicate.‎ ‎ He started by drawing funny pictures of his teachers, but soon began to draw buildings. His eye for detail was perfect. He could see a building just once and remember everything about it. 38 Hours later, in front of TV cameras, he managed to draw this building, with the time on the station clock saying 11:20, the exact time when he was there. The television programme made him famous overnight in the UK.‎ ‎　　 39 He has become a well-known artist, published four books of his drawings, taken helicopter(直升机) rides above the world’s great cities and drawn amazing pictures of them, and opened his own art gallery, where he now works, in London.‎ ‎ His drawings are correct and true in every detail--he always manages to draw everything in the right place. 40 In 2006, he was given an MBE(Member of the Order British Empire)‎ ‎ by the Queen of England for services to art.‎ A. ‎ Floating Cities was his third book.‎ B. ‎ As a child, he couldn’t make friends.‎ C. ‎ Besides, they are also beautiful to look at.‎ D. ‎ Luckily he found one thing he liked doing: drawing. ‎ E. ‎ After that, many great things have happened to Stephen.‎ F. ‎ In 1987, he saw a train station in London called St Pancras.‎ ‎ G On 15 February 2008, ABC News named him Person of the Week.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。‎ That afternoon, a disease forced Diana to experience an emergency operation to deliver the couple’s new daughter. At 12 inches long and 41 only one pound and nine ounces, she was a premature baby.‎ But the doctor’s soft words dropped like 42 . “I don’t think she’s going to make it” he said. “There’s only a 10-percent 43 she will pull through the night, and even then, if by some chance she does make it, her future could be a very 44 one.”‎ David and Diana listened as the doctor 45 the serious problems the newly—born baby, Anna, would 46 face if she survived.
