She decided to look on the Internet for some information and eventually found a United Nations website that had lots of useful information for her project.The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree with all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children.1. Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered(受保护的) by their family. If their family can not do so, the government should take responsibility.2. Children have the right to get an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.3. Children must not be tortured(折磨) or cruelly punished by their parents or any others.4. Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse and neglect.5. No child under 15 should be made to fight in an army.6. Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.In some countries, children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. Nor are there enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.The rights of a child are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.36. Where did Lily look for information on children’s rights?A. At the United Nations B. In books C. In the library D. On the Internet37. Who agrees with the United Nations’ list of children’s rights?A. All countries B. Most countries C. A few countries D. No countries38. Why can’t some children get an education?A. Because there aren’t enough schools. B. Because there are too many schools.C. Because they come from rich families. D. Because there are no schools.39. The underlined word “punished” means________.A. 惩罚 B. 奖励 C. 表扬 D. 出版40. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The United Nations has listed the rights it thinks children should have.B. The United Nations has made a list of rights all children have.C. Lily found the United Nations Website useful for her project.D. Children have the rights to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered.（B）A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C. and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to go to work.After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box, and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. During the musician’s performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌): No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment(实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing?41. When did the story take place?A. On a cold morning. B. On a warm afternoon. C. On a rainy evening. D. On a windy weekend.42. How many people gave response to the musician’s performance?A. 6. B. 20. C. 26. D. 45.43. What was the writer’s purpose(目的) of writing this passage?A. To let us know the importance of saving time. B. To make us notice nice things around.C. To find out what people usually did in the underground. D. To do a survey on how many people were interested in music.(C)Do you like walking in nature? How do you feel when you hear birdsong? Happy or nervous? Recently, a study showed that hearing different sounds of bird singing may help increase(增加) our happiness.Researchers at California Polytechnic State University(简称 Cal Poly) did a study. They studied the effects(作用) of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro led the Cal Poly study.Feraro said there could be an evolutionary(进化的) reason why we like birdsong so much. “The idea is that when we hear birdsong, it could mean that we are in a safe environment,” she said. There could be many other reasons, too. Ferraro said that in some areas birdsong could also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather. “Bird diversity(多样性) could also mean a healthy environment,” she added.Ferraro and her team played recorded songs from a group of different kinds of birds. They did this in a park in Boulder, Colorado. Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers(徒步旅行者) after they passed by. People who heard the recorded birdsongs reported a greater sense of happiness than those who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers said that both the bird sounds and bird diversity could increase feelings of happiness.The research team did the study during the summer. Ferraro explained why this was important. “The spring is the most birds’ breeding(繁殖)season. We didn’t want to disturb(打扰) the birds too much.”44. Who did Danielle Ferraro’s team study on?A. The unhappy people. B. Ferraro and her team.C. The people walking through a park. D. The people living near a park.45. Why didn’t Danielle Ferraro’s team do their research in spring?A. Because they liked summer better. B. Because they didn’t want to disturb the bird breeding.C. Because there are more birds in summer. D. Because the birds don’t like singing in spring.46. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?①Birdsong can make human feel safe. ②People’s love for birdsong is important.③Birds are active in the spring and nice weather. ④Birds like to live in a natural and healthy environment.A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④47. What’s the purpose of the fourth paragraph?A. To talk about Ferraro’s study to readers. B. To make people close to nature.C. To make readers understand what a study is like. D. To show why birdsong increases people’s feelings of happiness.48. What is the best title for the passage?A. Spending time in nature. B. Birdsong makes a happy life.C. Interesting facts about birdsong. D. Doing the research in the right season.四． 用所给词的适当形式填空（每小题1分, 共15 分）49 The palaces all over the country were those ________(rule) in the past.50. —The sun goes down and ________ (dark) falls. — Let’s go home.51.

Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency(流利) in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a nervous foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California. Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise(表扬): If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying(否认) my past by being lost in a new culture?Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak. I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am. 六、（每小题1分, 共10 分）The Antarctica(南极洲) is the most ____68____ (south) area of land on the earth and is mostly ____69____ (cover) with ice People have never wanted to live there ____70____ its coldest temperature.

It snows on the ice in winter, but at other times Antarctica is dry, just like the Sahara Desert.(沙漠).In winter the sea around Antarctica freezes (结冰) for thousands of kilometres.

She decided to look on the Internet for some information and eventually found a United Nations website that had lots of useful information for her project.The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree with all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children.1. Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered(受保护的) by their family. If their family can not do so, the government should take responsibility.2. Children have the right to get an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.3. Children must not be tortured(折磨) or cruelly punished by their parents or any others.4. Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse and neglect.5. No child under 15 should be made to fight in an army.6. Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.In some countries, children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education.

It was a cold day in January. He played Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to go to work.After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box, and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. During the musician’s performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌): No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment(实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing?41.

How do you feel when you hear birdsong? Happy or nervous? Recently, a study showed that hearing different sounds of bird singing may help increase(增加) our happiness.Researchers at California Polytechnic State University(简称 Cal Poly) did a study. They studied the effects(作用) of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro led the Cal Poly study.Feraro said there could be an evolutionary(进化的) reason why we like birdsong so much. “The idea is that when we hear birdsong, it could mean that we are in a safe environment,” she said. There could be many other reasons, too. Ferraro said that in some areas birdsong could also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather. “Bird diversity(多样性) could also mean a healthy environment,” she added.Ferraro and her team played recorded songs from a group of different kinds of birds. They did this in a park in Boulder, Colorado. Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers(徒步旅行者) after they passed by. People who heard the recorded birdsongs reported a greater sense of happiness than those who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers said that both the bird sounds and bird diversity could increase feelings of happiness.The research team did the study during the summer. Ferraro explained why this was important. “The spring is the most birds’ breeding(繁殖)season. We didn’t want to disturb(打扰) the birds too much.”44. Who did Danielle Ferraro’s team study on?A. The unhappy people. B. Ferraro and her team.C. The people walking through a park. D. The people living near a park.45. Why didn’t Danielle Ferraro’s team do their research in spring?A.

Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency(流利) in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a nervous foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California. Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise(表扬): If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying(否认) my past by being lost in a new culture?Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak. I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am. 【58~67题答案】【答案】58. beginning 59. after 60. people’s 61. understood 62. stay 63. progress 64. way 65. considered 66. cultural 67. adding【解析】【导语】本文通过作者在美国留学的经历阐述了口音的重要性。作者来美国留学时发现，他在国内英语课上所学的英语到了美国很多人听不懂。他发现这是中国口音的缘故。于是他模仿美国人的口音，后来他又认为，丢失了口音就是丢失了一个人的文化身份。于是，他在与美国人交流时仍然保留着中国口音。他为自己是一个中国人而自豪。【58题详解】右栏介绍了作者刚开始到美国的经历，故填beginning。【59题详解】根据“Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it as soon as they arrive.”可知，许多到美国旅游的中国人发现，尽管他们已经学了很多年英语，但他们一到美国就必须“重新学习”英语。所以是到达那里后，必须重新学习英语，故填after。【60题详解】根据“Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here.”可知，我们在英语课上学到的单词在这里的发音不一样。所以我的发音和当地人的不一样，故填people’s。【61题详解】根据“During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me.”可知，在我担任助教的第一个学期，我的学生抱怨说他们听不懂我的话。make oneself done“使某人被……”，故填understood。【62题详解】文章开始是说作者刚到美国的情况，接下来就是说在美国“停留”期间的事情。故填stay。【63题详解】根据“So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress”可知，所以我模仿母语人士说话的方式，随着时间的推移，我取得了很好的进步。故填progress。【64题详解】根据“So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress”可知，我模仿母语人士说话的方式，故填way。【65题详解】根据“Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California.”可知，从那以后，人们经常认为我来自很多地方，consider sb as...“认为某人是”，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填considered。【66题详解】根据“My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins.”可知，我的紧张情绪被保留我的文化渊源的愿望所取代。故填cultural。【67题详解】根据“Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak.”可知，现在我说话的时候故意增加了一些中国“口音”，用现在分词作状语，故填adding。六、（每小题1分, 共10 分）The Antarctica(南极洲) is the most ____68____ (south) area of land on the earth and is mostly ____69____ (cover) with ice.
