21．（6分）We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist (扭曲) has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats...Well, what now ... God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men 's room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is "a pain in the neck".Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing (嚼) loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call such a person a "rubber neck", always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for "rubber necks". They hate being watched secretly.1、According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?A．Disturbed. B．Bored.C．Ignored. D．Relaxed.2、A "rubber neck" often .A．says bad words behind peopleB．quarrels face to face with neighborsC．bargains with salespeople over the priceD．asks about other people's business3、Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as "a pain in the neck"?A．Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.B．Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.C．Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.D．Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.4、What is the main purpose of the author?A．To tell people what might be bad manners in public.B．To criticize (批评) the people who might be "a pain in the neck".C．To show anger to those who are described as "a pain in the neck".D．To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.22．（8分）A study of 500，000 songs released（发行）in the UK between 193 and 2015 showed that pop music has decreased in happiness and increased in sadness．In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science，researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood．"‘Happiness’is going down，‘sadness’ is going up，and at the same time，the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like，’"co-author Natalia L．Komarova told The Associated Press．The study found songs in 2014 like "Stay With Me"by Sam Smith，"Whispers" by Passenger and "Unmissable" by Gorgon City to have a "low happiness" trend．However，tracks from 193 like "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen，"Would I Lie To You？" by Eurythmics and "Freedom"by Wham had a high "happiness" trend．"The public seems to prefer happier songs，even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，" the researchers wrote．Apart from the emotional trends，researcheis discovered that dance and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a "clear downward trend"，with the popularity oF rock beginning in the early 2000s．"So it looks like，while the overall mood is becoming less happy，people seem to want to forget it all and dance，" Komarova wrote in an email．It was also found that the "maleness" of songs——the frequency of male singers in popular music——had decreased during the last 30 years "Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，"they Wrote．This discovery appears at a time when the convcrsation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height，with more male artists and songwriters．1、The researchers examined lots of songs to ．A．find songs for dance and partyB．choose songs for a journalC．release more songsD．know better about songs2、Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness？A．Natalia L．Komarova’s．B．Sam Smith’s．C．Gorgon City’s．D．Bruce Springsteen’s．3、What do we know about songs over the past three decades？A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s．B．Fewer unhappy songs come to light every year．C．Male singers are better at perrorming pop music．D．Female artists are less skilled in writing songs．4、What can be a suitable title for the text？A．Pop Music Is Getting SadderB．Music Calls for Sex EqualityC．Pop Music Has a Long HistoryD．Music Industry Is Going Down23．（8分）Our neighbor said the storm lasted four minutes. The town houses are destroyed or damaged. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some rolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get to the relatively safe closet down on the first floor.As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have stuck through us.Finally, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm as the tornado sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp(头皮) were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over.1、How was the old couple aware of the tornado?A．They learned it from their neighbors who passed their house.B．They learned it from some common indications before a tornado.C．They found the news report forecasting the tornado on TV.D．They found the tornado on top of them when they were upstairs.2、We can infer from paragraph4 that ____________A．The old couple was very grateful to the branch.B．The old couple missed the branch very much.C．The old couple was hit by the branch on the head.D．The old couple was fortunate to have a narrow escape.3、Why did the old woman feel no pain in paragraph5?A．Because she was worried about her husband.B．Because she was brave enough to bear the pain.C．Because she didn’t actually feel any pain.D．Because she had a good husband to comfort her.4、The passage is most probably taken from _______.A．a brochure B．a novelC．newspaper D．a magazine24．（8分）By high school, T. J. was the most famous one in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekend leadership election. When I showed up, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”At the start of the election, he was standing against the back wall. He didn’t really join the discussion groups, or didn’t seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite comments on those situations. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening. By the end of the election, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team elected him co-chairman of the team.But when T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “He’ll probably steal half the food.”Surprisingly, two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group to collect food. They created a school record：2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food took care of needy families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered theevent with a full-page article the next day. The event he led now collects 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. 1、What was T. J. famous for when the author first met him?A．Collecting food. B．Making troubles.C．Being elected co-chairman. D．Showing up at the election.2、Which of the following is true?A．The groups welcomed T. J.’s opinions.B．T. J. knew little about the topics in the discussions.C．T. J. was unwilling to collect food for needy families.D．The groups made a list of positive and negative things about T. J..3、Why did T. J. arrive to a firestorm?A．He was caught in terrible weather. B．He suffered a fire disaster.C．His stealing was made public. D．His being elected was strongly opposed.4、What does the story intend to tell us?A．God helps those who help themselves.B．Bad times makes a good man.C．Everyone deserves a chance to clean up their mistakes.D．Bad luck often brings good luck.25．（10分）My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicte d to this cassette on our previous summer’s road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. Heanswered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we’ve started something that will pass on to the next generation.1、Why did the author start reading in the car?A．She wanted to have a better journey. B．She wanted to keep a family traditionC．Her children were addicted to music. D．She wanted to kill the time.2、How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A．They kept quarrelling. B．They hid themselves.C．They soon settled down. D．They continued to fight in their seats.3、What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?A．They were caught in a storm. B．They enjoyed reading on the road.C．They had a good time on the beach. D．They thought it had passed too quickly.4、Which can be the best title for the text?A．Better Reading than Traveling B．Books that Changed My ChildrenC．Road Trips Full of Challenges D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）I spent last summer volunteering at a hospital.
