BHow do you get to Carnegie Hall(卡内基音乐厅)? “practice, practice, practice” is the well-known answer. But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.The Afghan Youth Orchestra(AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation. “Music for me is a language of peace,” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life,” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldnt even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano,” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true,” he said. “It is everyones dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”And he has more dreams. “I have a dream to continue my education in America,” he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the king of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says shes heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasnt yet had a chance to listen to them.Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet,” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Halls famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.24. What is Gulalais opinion on music?A. It makes people understand each other.B. It calms her down in the war.C. It is a kind of violent language.D. It saves her from the killing at war.25. What is Milads final aim?A. To play a real piano. B. To serve his country. C. To further study. D. To play in Carnegie.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Classical music is not played in Afghanistan.B. Gulalai knows Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber well.C. The music Gulalai and Milad can hear is limited.D. Milad likes Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.27. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Traditional Afghan Music B. Young MusiciansC. A Better Performance D. A Peace in MusicCYelp, the San Francisco Internet company that makes reviews of restaurants and other businesses across a large part of America, is getting into the food delivery business.Today, the company has announced that it has agreed to acquire Eat24, a food company that delivers food to homes on behalf of partner restaurants. Yelp is paying $134 million for the company$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20,000 restaurants in more than 1,500 cities all over the U.S.On Yelps reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the company is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.“If youre looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant,” Yelp cofounder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”The move is just one way that some of Internets most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments company Square bought Caviar, a highend quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, which aimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of income, and it can also help these companies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.28. How does Yelp pay for the company Eat24?A. Totally by cheque. B. Totally in cash.C. Partly in stock. D. Only in credit.29. What can customers NOT do on the new Yelps website?A. Finding the restaurants they like. B. Booking a restaurant they like.C. Ordering food to their door. D. Enjoying much cheaper food.30. What does the underlined word “acquire” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Bargain.B. Claim.C. Request.D. Purchase.31. From the passage, we can infer that many companies _A. begin to set up their own food branchesB. make little money from their existing businessC. begin to attach importance to food delivery makingD. give up the present business and turn to food makingDSelf-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.While Mcity can be used to simulate many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, firstly considered using text as a way to communicate the cars intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean. Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.Then came the big challengetesting the signals on real road, “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if youve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless car.”The team designed a car seat costume that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield, which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?32. What did the team use as a way to communicate the cars intention?A. Light. B. Language. C. Symbols. D. Sound.33. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Symbols. B. Drivers. C. Researchers. D. Flashes.34. What does a rapidly flashing light mean?A. The car was coming to a stop. B. There was no driver in the car.C. The car was about to speed up. D. The car was about to slow down.35. The car seat costume was intended to_.A. amuse the driver B. attract the pedestrianC. warn the cyclists D. confuse the people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。 How to Find a HobbyHobbies let you explore interests outside of your line of work. They let you be creative and try all kinds of new things. If youre bored with your old hobby, picking a different one can get your creative juices flowing again. 36 Choosing a new hobby can be expensive. Dont worry, though, you have plenty of options available. 37 Examine what takes up your spare time, when you have it. Do you enjoy reading books? Maybe you want to try your hand at writing them. Do you like a cold beer at the end of the day? Maybe your hobby could be trying to brew beer at home. Turn what you already love into a hobby.Think about what you value most. Do you value wisdom or courage? Do you admire artistic expression? 38 For instance, maybe you could volunteer at a library as a hobby because you value education, or you could take up painting because you admire people who can express themselves with art.Examine your skills and personality. Certain hobbies require certain skill sets. If you dont have a great deal of patience, then hand sewing isnt something youd enjoy. However, if you love tinkering and building things, you should consider a hobby like working on older cars or building furniture. 39 Pay attention to what excites your passion. The way you talk about issues can reveal your passions and those passions can be developed into a hobby. 40 Ask your friends and family what you seem to talk about the most. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 ：完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、 B 、C 、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The day you decide to pursue your dream is the day you begin to work out the mystery.
