He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Albert did not like school. The German schools of that time were not pleasant. Students could not ask questions. Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.

The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.The idea came from the bridegrooms father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who have suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者)On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “Its like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who dont even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”8.Why was there so many homeless people in Kilis?A.

Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB. Ted was a representative of the organizationC. Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard itD. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow himDEnglish songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades. Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the world, even for people who dont speak English, and even for people who dont speak English.From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still dont achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning method, but most of them fail.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of these words are unusual ones that you dont use in everyday life. You wont learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, infection, hate and blue, for the feeling, not the color.People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills. It actually will not.You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with a tune. People dont talk like Eminems songs. You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills. Having good English skills is not that easy. Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.12. According to the passage, listening to English songs can help you _.A. improve your English grammar B. speak English more fluentlyC. gain the skills of writing D. learn more new words13. What can we learn about the words in English songs?A. Most of them are vivid and interesting.B. They are seldom used in peoples everyday life.C. English learners should learn more of them.D. They can help people improve their pronunciation.14. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer may be _.A. an experienced English learner B. a well-known pop singerC. a Chinese music fan D. an American teacher15. The last paragraph is written mainly to _.A. give us some advice on how to learn EnglishB. encourage us to go to see more filmsC. tell us learning English is hard for everyoneD. warn us not to listen to music in our daily life第二节（共5小题 ；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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 Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 16 Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 17 Its important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. 18 Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.Review regularly. 19 Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on test. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 20 A. Be volunteer to raise questions.B. Make good use of your time in class.C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.E. They also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on.F. Of course, studying shouldnt occupy all of the free time on the schedule. G. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. 第二部分：英语知识应用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden.
