The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.‎ ‎    Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.‎ ‎    Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.‎ ‎    Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the pop singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.‎ There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.‎ Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instrument is called orchestra music (管弦乐), such as the symphonies (交响乐) of Beethoven. There is opera (歌剧) for singers. There is ballet (芭蕾舞剧) for dancers like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.‎ ‎1. In what sense can music be regarded as an international language?‎ A. Popular music is what everyone enjoys.‎ B. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are so beautiful and understandable that everyone can enjoy them.‎ C. When music is played, it seems as if it were speaking to us.‎ D.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is a kind of pop music.‎ B People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations (康乃馨). A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues (烤肉) for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ Another tradition is to give carols and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is ‎ important but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.‎ ‎5. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents?‎ A. Their parents bring them up. ‎ B. Their parents give love and care to them.‎ C. Their parents educate them to be good persons.‎ D. Their parents passed away before they grew up.‎ ‎6. What do you learn from the passage?‎ A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.‎ B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.‎ C. Not all the children respect their parents.‎ D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.‎ ‎7. Which do you think is RIGHT about “carnation”?‎ A. It only has two kinds of colour. ‎ B. It refers the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.‎ C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.‎ D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May C ‎ Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.‎ In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.‎ Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.‎ ‎8.

When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right （方向）and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.‎ Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.‎ The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the ‎ skin of his teeth.‎ ‎12. Dogs who help blind people must learn       .‎ A. to obey all orders B. to obey only safe orders C. never to cross roads D. to cross road when ordered to do so ‎13. Race horses are hard to train because they are       .‎ A. faster than other horses B. smaller than other horses C. clever than other horse D. more nervous than other horses ‎14. Lions can be photographed easily when       .‎ A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to them B. they are returning to their families C. they have been trained to work with other animals D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby ‎15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A. Animals can be useful.‎ B. Dangerous wild animals can be trained.‎ C. The well-trained animals can learn the difference between the unwanted people and friends.‎ D. Animals can become interested in their tricks.  ‎ ‎ 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。 Ali is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA.
