So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina‎, ‎Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was near a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you'd call a perfect farm. But it was mine.‎ ‎ I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.‎ ‎ I wouldn't say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about "that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper."‎ ‎ Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!‎ ‎ I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always value memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.‎ ‎21．Why did the author buy the Missouri farm?‎ A．To marry a nice girl. B．To live a free life.‎ C．To have his own land. D．To earn a good profit.‎ ‎22．What was Claudette when the author met her?‎ A．A manager. B．A storekeeper.‎ C．A housekeeper. D．A shop assistant.‎ ‎23．We can learn from the passage that the Missouri house ________.‎ A．was well furnished B．led to a happy marriage C．covered 40 acres D．made a successful farmer B Music is a language which speaks to everyone — from the day we are born we hear music of some kind of our lives. But there are as many different kinds of music as there are different languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.‎ Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages to the present (1500 to today) and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung — as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.‎ Jazz developed in the Southern States of North America at the beginning of this century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.‎ Blues was originally black country music from the Southern States at the beginning of this century. It is slow, usually sad music which is often sung by one person with a guitar.‎ Rhythm and Blues (R&B) developed from the Blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, eg. saxophone? (萨克斯), guitar, piano, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.‎ Musicians in the 1950s developed Rock and Roll from Rhythm and Blues and it became ‎ popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from Rock and Roll.‎ Pop music developed from Rock and Roll in America, Britain, and Europe in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial (商业的) music, which we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”. It is usually played by groups who often use electronic instruments and make videos to go with their records.‎ ‎24. Which of the following started in the Southern States of North America?‎ A. Rhythm and Blues. B. Pop music.‎ C. Rock and Roll. D. Jazz.‎ ‎25. When did Rock and Roll become popular with the young?‎ A. In the 1940s. B. In the 1950s. C. In the 1960s. D. In the 1970s.‎ ‎26. Where dis pop music develop?‎ A. From Jazz. B. From Blues ‎ C. From Rock and Roll. D. From Rhythm and Blues.‎ ‎27. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Music—an international language ‎ B. How music developed in America.‎ C. How music spread around the world D. Some well-known types of music and their history.‎ C Forests are amazing, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats (蝙蝠) or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?‎ Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them---the millipede(千足虫).‎ The importance of leaves When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned ‎ to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede. ‎ Food on the forest floor Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into small pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where millipede can help. ‎ More on the menu The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.‎ So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?‎ A. It can often be seen on TV shows.‎ B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.‎ C. It is too small to be noticed by people.‎ D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.‎ ‎29. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?‎ A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.‎ B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.‎ C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.‎ D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.‎ ‎31. According to the author, the millipede is .‎ A. poisonous B. rare C. unimportant D. amazing D When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.‎ Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.‎ Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.‎ In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.‎ Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.‎ Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.‎ ‎32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?‎ A. It sends out certain chemicals. B. It gets help from other plants.‎ C. It stands quietly D. It makes noises. ‎ ‎33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?‎ A. The insects gather under the table B. The attackers get attacked. ‎ C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural ‎ enemies.‎ ‎34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .‎ A. predict natural disasters B. help their neighbors when necessary.‎ C. talk to one another intentionally D. protect themselves against insects ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The word is changing faster than ever.‎ B. People have stronger senses than before C. The world is more complex than it seems D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.‎ 第二节 (共5小题)‎ ‎ 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 Get Water to Survive in the Woods ‎ Have you ever been on a hike in the woods admiring the great views, and suddenly found yourself completely alone and lost? ____36____ But surviving alone in the wild is generally a matter of common sense, patience, and wisely using the gifts that nature provides.‎ ‎ Finding a good source of water is one of the most important things to do in order to survive in the woods. ____37____ But by the end of the second day you're not going to be in very good shape; find water before then.‎ ‎ ____38____ But the chances of finding it are slim.
