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 childrens 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 an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. In a word, 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.21.What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean?A.Unwilling to turn on. B.Always looking.C.Unwilling to leave. D.Always playing.22.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could .A.give children self-expression and self-confidenceB.bring to children achievement and successC.give children something to be proud ofD.develop childrens self-confidence23.Whats the best title for this passage?A.Music is a must as a course at schoolB.Music builds childrens self-confidenceC.Music makes students much smarterD.Learning music and making musicBIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they wont carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit peoples houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely, but pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.24.The passage mainly talks about_ .A.how to keep disease from pets B.pets in CanadaC.how to take good care of pets D.life of the old in Canada25.They give their pets injections before keeping them at their houses because _.A.the pets are sick B.the pets are wildC.they want to stop them from getting sick D.they want them to sleep on the way home26.In Canada, children leave their parents when they grow up because _.A.they dont love their parents any moreB.they can only find jobs far from their parentsC.their parents houses are too smallD.they wouldnt depend on their parents any more27.Which of the following is TRUE?A.People buy animal food only at the animal food stores.B.Pets eat better than people.C.Almost every family has a birdcage in his house.D.Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.CWith recent development in technology, including the web, e-mail and so on, some people rarely go into the main office anymore. Working out of your home is a mixed blessing, though. If you are facing a decision of whether or not to take a job with a 10-second commute (行程), take a look at a few pros and cons of working at home.Pros You are free to do as you please. There is no commute. No one looks over your shoulder. If you are married or have children at home, this type of work situation could be especially convenient for youCons You are the only person around all day, so there is no outside pressure to be busy. Working at home can be dirty and can take up a whole spare room in your home. You dont have enough chances to communicate with your co-workers, so it is more difficult to find out about new projects you might be interested in. There is a danger of putting in too many hours or overworking.Tips for working at homeWorking out of your home can be a great solution for certain people. I have worked in an office and in my own study, and I think it takes special discipline (纪律) to work at home. You need to ask yourself, “Does this work style fit in with what I want and how I am most productive?”If you do work at home, it is important to remember: Go to the main office often. Report back often and let your boss know you are alive and productive. Treat your study (or wherever you work) like a real office. Close the door at 6 p.m. and dont open it until you are beginning work the next morning. Get dressed as you would for work and be consistent with your hours. Act as if you were at the office.28. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 shows that _. A. working in the office has advantages and disadvantages B. God bless you when you work out of your home C. working in the office is a complicated thing D. working out of your home will not be blessed29. We can infer from the passage that _. A. you can do what you like when you work out of the office B. you have no outside pressure to be busy if you work at home C. no one will always order you to work harder if you work at home D. it is very boring and is not productive when you work at home30. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. A single man will not be allowed to work at home. B. You cant recognize your co-workers when you work at home. C. Its dangerous if you are allowed to work alone out of your office D. Its not easy to get the information you want when working at home.31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Working at Home is Right or Wrong? B. My Experience of Working at Home C. The Pros and Cons of Working at Home D. Working at Home or in the Office?DIn a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problems secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, contented with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “Thank you”, because they were never known.This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person being helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is the sense of responsibility that makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who cant afford their medicine or a doctors care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.32. The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because _. A. they hadnt solved the problems thoroughly B. they had solved the problems secretly C. they were friends of the worried individual D. they expected to be paid back in the future33. The underlined phrase “pay it forward” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. to repay someone who has helped you B. to pay someone else who needs helpC. to help someone who has helped you D. to help someone else who needs help34. From the passage we know that _.A. it costs a lot of money to “pay it forward” B. children need more help than elderly peopleC. nowadays everybody needs help D. nowadays many people help others without being repaid35. By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be _. A. unselfish B. mysterious C. honest D. unforgettable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。有两项为多余选项。It seems that there is never enough time in the day.
