only important match of the season.sparky was a loser. he, his classmateseveryone knew it. sparky never asked a classmate to go out in high school. he was too afraid of being refused. however, one thing was important to sparky drawing. he was proud of his artwork. of course, no one else appreciated it. in his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. although the cartoons were turned down, sparky was so confident about his ability that he decided to become an artist.after completing high school, he wrote a letter to walt disney studios. he was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. sparky spent a great deal of time on it. finally, the reply came from disney studios. he had been rejected（拒绝）once again. another loss for the loser. so sparky decided to write his own autobiography（自传）in cartoons. he described his childhood a little boy loser and underachiever. the cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. for sparky, the boy who had little success in school and whose work was rejected again and again was charles schulz. he created the peanuts comic strip（连环漫画）and little cartoon character charlie brown. 50. we can know that sparky was _ from the first paragraph. a. a top student b. an artist c. a good player d. a failure 51. sparky never asked a

other guy is even more human.common sense is not all that common.why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?these three popular misquotes（戏谑的引语）are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. to err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for the problem. perhaps it is the natural thing to do. the original quote about human nature went like this: “to err is human, to forgive, divine（神圣的）.” this saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others mistakes. instead, we tend to do the opposite find someone else to pass the blame on to. however, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity（成熟）.common sense is what we call clear thought. having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. people say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”and what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? one of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the time. there is a corollary（直接推论）to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth?53. which of the following is not based on common sense?a. a secretary works to a timetable.b. a companys next move follows a good plan. c. a girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.d. a man tries to manage everything in a large company.54. what can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer?a. a good excuse is the same as honesty.b. inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.c. unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse.d. making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea.55. what would be the best title for this passage?a. a mirror of human natureb. to blame or to forgivec. a mark of maturityd. truth or excusedwhen students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. this view is shortsighted. in fact, music education is very important for all students.music tells us who we are. because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a schubert song. the jazz influence that george gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously american because it came from american musical traditions. music expresses our character and values. it gives us identity（身份，特性）as a society. music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. science can explain how the sun rises and sets. the arts can express the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same thing. we need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: no one way can get it all.the arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. they are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. they are the language through which we express our fears, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. the arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. when we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. the arts do. music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love. so music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.56. what can we learn from paragraph 1? a. students regard music as a way of entertainment.b. students disagree with their parents on education.c. students take music as an important subject.d. students prefer the arts to science.57. in paragraph 2, the writer uses jazz as an example to_. a. compare it with rock musicb. show music identifies a societyc. introduce american musical traditionsd. prove music influences peoples lifestyles58. according to the passage, the arts and science_. .a. explain the world in different ways b. explain different facts of the worldc. express peoples feelings in different waysd. explain what it means to be human differently59. what is the main idea of the passage?a. music education is worth more attention.b. music should be of top education priority.c. music is really a good communication tool.d. music education makes students more imaginative.七、阅读还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，从短文后方框中所给的五个句子中选出四个，分别填入文中相应的序号后，使短文语义连贯，结构完整。ill remember the first carnival（狂欢节）. 60. _. my parents came from jamaica and they helped to start carnival. we had

country names or nationalities. take these examples:the dutch（丹麦人）are the target of most english expressions about nationalities. why are there so many jokes about the dutch in english? and what do these expressions mean? in the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the british and the dutch, and dutch became a bad word. so double dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand. a dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to. there are later expressions, which are funnier and kinder, like to go dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression. it means to pay for your part of a bill. this often happens when a group of friends have a meal together, and each person pays for the food they ate. im a dutchman is another commonly used expression. this means not being able to believe something.an expression with a similar meaning to double dutch is its all greek to me, which means i dont understand. the expression was made famous in shakespeares play julius cae
