I would open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head, fully expecting my voice to follow

24、 suitonly to get an awful tone(音调) in return.Still, without a second thought, I continued to try to sing whenever possible. On car journeys, when my now twenty-something sons were small, they would make a great play (hands over their ears, shouting “No, Mum, stop!”) of going through punishment as I

25、sang along to the radio.Never in a hundred years would I have thought about joining a choir. And when I did finally become a member of my first choir 15 years ago, something fantastic happened to my life. From the first time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable, in harmon

26、y(和谐) with the other singers, I lost my heart to singing. It was like falling in love. And everyone in the choir had the same shining smiles and bright eyessinging made them feel happy, too.Although it is singing itself that makes me happy, it is also how choir works together. There is something mag

27、ical about breathing together. The voice of everyone singing quietly together is powerful and excitingly mysterious(神秘的).And there is the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir: raising money for people in need and taking our singing sometimes to places where people are forgotten

28、 and sad.I am now a member of six choirs and, if I can, sing every day of the week. I stand in front of several hundred people, and know that some, if not all, of the songs will sound not bad at all.37. What did the writers sons think of her singing when they were small?A.

30、ght eyes.D. Singing in front of hundreds of people.CComets(彗星) are parts of our solar system. Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a

31、few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comets head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. Thats because it is so fa

32、r away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you cant see any motion. Thats because the moon is far away.So comets do not rush across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night

33、 after night, youll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The suns gravity (重力、引力) cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been capt

34、ured by the sun. Halleys earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. Thats why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it

35、visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.40. What is this passage mostly about?A. Facts about comets.B. Comets and the sun.C.

By describing it as a dirty snowball.DThe webs that spiders build to catch insects seem weak. However, the strength of spider thread is greater than steel. Webs can eve

38、n stand up to very strong storms.Now a team, headed by Markus Buehler, a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has worked out why the spider web is so strong. It is not just the strength of the thread, but the clever design of the web. The key to a webs success is its ability to ke

39、ep its shape and strength even after some of the threads break, says Buehler. The scientists found the thread itself has the ability to become softer or firmer. So it can hold different types of heavy things and bear a localized damage (损坏). This localized damage can simply be repaired, rather than

40、replaced, or even left alone if the web continues to work as before.Buehlers research is mostly theoretical (理论上的), based on computer modeling of material properties (特征) and how they respond to stresses. But in order to test the findings, he and his team literally went into the field. They tested a

41、ctual spider webs by poking and pulling at them. In all cases, damage was limited to the immediate area they disturbed.In tests, scientists also used three other strong materials made into the same webs. The spider thread was six times stronger than any other material. More surprisingly, when the sc

42、ientists took away up to 10 percent of the threads from different places, the web didnt become any weaker. Actually, it became up to 10 percent stronger.The spider webs clever design gives scientists many new ideas. The findings might be used not just for physical objects such as safer buildings, bu

43、t also in the design of networked systems. For example, a computer experiencing a virus attack could be designed to shut down at once, before its problems get worse. “Its a really good chance,” said Buehler. “It may give us some new ideas for engineering.”43. Where does the strength of the web threa

44、ds come from?A. Their high stickiness.B. Their high firmness.C. Their clever design.D. Their ability to change in quality.44. Which word is closest in meaning to the word “disturb” in the 3rd paragraph?A. Moving.B. Upsetting.C. Changing.D. Hitting.45. How many different experiments did Buehlers team

45、 do to test their findings?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.46. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Spider Webs Are Stronger than SteelB. Spider Webs Hold Valuable SecretsC. What Strong Spider Webs Mean to UsD. How Spider Webs Get Their Strength六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）World Kindness

46、 Day is a celebration which takes place on 13 November each year. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement. It is celebrated in many countries, including Canada, Japan, Australia and some other countries. World Kindness Day is celebrated to highlight acts of kindness passing on the p

47、ositive (正面的) power.Why be kind? Few people would disagree with the idea that a kind action is good for the soul (灵魂). It is a win-win situation because it leads to a sense of well-being both for the receiver of this kind action, as well as for the person who does the action. As a simple example, le

48、ts imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to them, just in conversation or perhaps by email?

49、ood about yourself for having spread a little joy.Many organizations try to encourage people to be kind, wherever and whenever they can. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation. The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally, the

The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simply recycling or organizing a group event to clean a local

51、park or beach. The third category is less obvious: personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly. Some examples are taking a walk in nature or setting yourself an objective to complain less. The logic is that by being kind to yourself, you will surely be kinder to the world around you.Most

52、 experts on kindness agree that it has a sort of ripple effect. This means that one kind action is more likely to lead to more and more. So dont wait for kindness to find you today, go and start a new ripple!47. When is World Kindness Day?_48. Why is World Kindness Day celebrated?_49. Why should peo
