It does not mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant(愉快的), like 16 in by your boss to explain why you did this and that, and 17 you did not do this or that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to 18 . At some time or another, every one of us has had to "face the music," especially as children. Wecan all remember father's angry voice: "I 19 to talk to you!" And only 20 we did not obey（服从，遵守）him. What an unpleasant business it 21 !The phrase"face the music" is known to every American,young and old.It is at least 100 years old.Where did the 22 come from?The first explanation comes from the American novelist(小说家) James Fenimore Cooper. He said,in 1851, 23 the expression was first24 by actors while 25 in the wings(舞台的两侧) to go on stage. After they got their clue(得到暗示) to go on, they often said, "It's time to go to face the music." And that was 26 where they faced the orchestra (管弦乐队)which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or 27 as he moved onto the stage 28 an audience(观众) that might be friendly, 29 perhaps hostile（敌意的，敌对的）, especially 30 he forgot his lines（台词）. But he had to go 31 . If he did not, there would be 32 play.

The first stamps marking the opening （开幕式）came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear（运动服）. It was the first time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.In the 1950’s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as thenon-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sports men began to take part in the White Olympics.Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps.People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.36.

They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.In 1934，the William Beebe dived（潜水）3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow(空心的) steel（刚）ball. In 1945 August Piocard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth(深；深度) of 35,800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually, they succeeded in doing so. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.With new equipment(设备), now men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on theocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea life. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depth and to make plans for the uses of its resources(资源).41.Scientists______to learn about the ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.A.are exploring on the surface of the oceanB.are studying the dives made by the early explorersC.are studying the ocean floorD.are exploring below the surface of the ocean42.August Piocard and Jean who made early dives were ________.A.father and sonB.son and fatherC.brothersD.cousins43.Who was the man that set up the first undersea research station tooperate without help from the surface ?Where was it set up ?A.Cousteau;On the ocean floor of the Crimean Sea.B. Cousteau;On the ocean floor of the Red Sea.C.William Beebe;On the surface floor of the Crimean Sea.D. August Piocard;On the ocean floor of the Crimean Sea.44.What did the scientists do in the laboraties down on the ocean floor?A.They tried to find ways to set up undersea research laboratories.B.They explored the ocean depth and made plans for the use of itsresources.C.They learned how to keep men down in the stations below thesurface of the water.D.They learned how to make use of the new equipment in theundersea laboratories.45.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Nobody can stay below the surface of the oceanB.The early divers could not stay below the surface of the ocean forvery longC.The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to makeplans for the use of the resources in the ocean.D. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in theundersea laboratoriy.CThe entertainment（娱乐）profession ,or “show business”（演艺界）,attracts many young people.Unfortunately,only very few can hope to become famous and successful.Talent（天赋）is not enough,because show business is as competitive as any other business.Without a good manager(经纪人),a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion（时尚）is important in the business,too.The best performer will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes.In exactly the same way,a performer must change his “act”in order to follow the taste of the moment.This is true for actors ,dancers and comedians（喜剧演员）,but perhaps most of all the singers.“Pop” stands for “popular”,and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the pubic what they already want,or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeed,and his records are sold everywhere ,he can not relax(放松). Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular,because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy.He can only relax when he is alone,because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for “fans”.The fans are most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records,they go to his concert,and they make him rich and famous.But they can be very annoying（令人生气的）,too.Sometimes the enthusiasm (狂热)gets so hysterical (歇斯底里的)that they do anything to get a “souvenir”（纪念品）.They steal handkerchiefs(手帕；纸巾),they tear off buttons（纽扣）,and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide.A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes,because he must always look smart,or,at any rate,different.He must have a luxurious(奢侈的)car.And most important –he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public. 46.which of the following is the most important if a pop singer wants to become famous?A.SouvenirB.Fan’s enthusiasmC.HandkerchiefD. Good manager47.Which of the following most needs to follow the taste of themoment?A.Pop singeredianC.ActorD.Dancer48.Why must a pop singer work even harder when he has becomefamous?A.To attract the attention of the publicB.To sell more recordsC.To become popularD. To stay popular49. Many singers have been forced to hide.Why?A.Because their hair will be cut off by the fans.B.Because the fans tear off their buttons.C.Because their fans bring some trouble to them.D.Because they don’t want to give “souvenir”.50.According to the text,a successful pop singer _____in public.A.can wear whatever he wantsB.is allowed to get angry when others are not polite himC.should always show his kindnessD.can look tired of his fans第Ⅱ卷Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题，每小题3分，满分共15分)Many people try to lose weight（体重）and never manage to ,and this is why you need to make the most of the best exercise that is walking. Try to walk more.If________,you will find that you’re able to burn more calories （卡路里）and therefore lose more weight.You should try to take the stairs（楼梯）rather than the lift（电梯）wherever you can ,as this means that you will raise your heart beat （心跳）higher. If you get a newspaper delivered（送）to your door, think about whether you could walk to the shops in the morning and pick it up instead, This would raise your metabolism(新陈代谢)at the most important time in the day.In addition, if you take the bus a lot, then you should try getting off a couple of stops(公交车站) earlier than you might have done in the past.
