A

Robert Todd Duncan was born in 1903 in the southern city of Danville, Kentucky. His mother was his first music teacher. As a young man, he continued his music study in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1930，he completed more musical education at Columbia University in New York City. Then he moved to Washington. For fifteen years, he taught music at Howard University in Washington. At that time, not many black musicians were known for writing or performing classical music. Teaching at Howard gave Duncan the chance to share his knowledge of classical European music with a mainly black student population. He taught special ways to present the music. These special ways became known as the Duncan Technique.

Besides teaching，Duncan sang in several operas with performers who were all black. But it seemed that he always would be known mainly as a concert artist. However，his life took a different turn in the middle 1930s. At that time, the famous American music writer George Gershwin was looking for someone to play a leading part in his new work Porgy and Bess. The music critic (评论家) of the New York Times newspaper suggested Todd Duncan. Duncan had almost decided not to try for the part as he knew it would not be easy to get it. But he changed his mind. He sang a piece from an Italian opera for Gershwin. He had sung only a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part. He became famous because of the part in Porgy and Bess.

Todd Duncan gained fame as an opera singer and concert artist. But his greatest love in music was teaching. When he stopped teaching at Howard，he continued giving singing lessons in his Washington home until the week before his death.

51．What is this passage mainly about?

A．What Robert Todd Duncan loved most.

B．How Robert Todd Duncan became famous.

C．Robert Todd Duncan and his works of music.

D．A brief introduction to Robert Todd Duncan.

A．discovered special new ways to write music

B．opened doors for other black classical singers

D．became known for writing and performing classical music

A．He gave up teaching at Howard University.

B．He was introduced by the New York Times in detail.

C．He was asked to be in charge of the opera Porgy and Bess.

D．He was given a big opportunity to become an opera singer.

54．We can infer that Robert Todd Duncan didn’t at first want to try for the part mainly because ____.

A．he was too busy to do it B．he was not interested in it C．he was not confident enough D．he didn’t want to become famous 55．Based on the passage, what did Robert Todd Duncan love most? A．Singing in concerts. B．Writing music.

A baby born in India has been declared the world's seven billionth person by child rights group Plan International. Baby Nargis was born at 07:25 local time (01:55GMT) in Mall village in India's Uttar Pradesh state. Plan

International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible to know where exactly the seven billionth baby is born. In addition to baby Nargis in India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babies. The United Nations estimated that on Monday 31 October, the world's population would reach seven billion.

Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in Asia. At the same time, low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns about labor shortages.

Population experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billion in October 1999. They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century. China's population of one and a third billion is currently the world's largest. India is second at 1.2 billion. But India is expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025.

India will also have one of the world's youngest populations. Economists say this is a chance for a so-called demographic dividend. India could gain from the skills of young people in a growing economy at a time when other countries have aging populations. But economists say current rates of growth, although high, may not create enough jobs. Also, the public education system is failing to meet demand and schooling is often of poor quality. Another concern is health care. Nearly half of India's children under the age of five are malnourished（营养不良）.

Michal Rutkowski, the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action. He says, "I think the bottom line of the story is that the public policy needs to become really, really serious about sex equality and about access to services -- to fight against malnutrition, and to provide for access to health services, water and schooling."

56. What is true about the world's seven billionth person?

A. Baby Nargis is not the only child chosen as the seven billionth baby.

B. Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth baby

C. Bangladesh, the Philippines and Cambodia have all declared Baby Nargis as the seven billionth baby.

D. The United Nations declared Baby Nargis born in India's Uttar Pradesh state as the world's seven billionth person.

57. Which of the following problems do many European countries worry about?

A. Labor shortage.

B. Poor health care

C. Not enough jobs

D. schooling of poor quality

58. According to population experts, how long will it take for population to grow from six billion to nine billion?

A. About 12 years.

B. About 40 years.

C. About 50 years.

D. About 110 years.

59. What does the underlined phrase “demographic dividend” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. Possibility of lower birth rate.

B. Benefit gained by working age people

C. Chances for more employment.

D. Disadvantages caused by aging population.

60. Which of the following public policies does Michal Rutkowski call on?

A. To encourage late marriage.

B. To reduce world’s population.

C. To gain economic equality.

D. To improve health and education.

C

Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree．Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful

appearance, which was the joy of the garden's owner．What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn't stand each other．The vegetables hated the tree's shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive．The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive．

The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up．The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up．Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree's branches were drying up．

Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it．When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was．There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it．Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow．．．He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again．The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest．

They should really learn how to live in harmony （和谐）with those around them, doing the best they could．So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables．Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around．

61．From the passage, we can learn ___________．

A．the gardener was very lazy

B．the tree and vegetables grew very well at first

C．the tree and vegetables got along well with each other at first D．the gardener was satisfied with his work on the garden

62．The vegetables and the tree fought for ___________．

A．living space B．the gardener's attention C．attending the contest D．their own good

63．What drew the garden's owner's attention to the field again? A．Some gardening contests．

B．The fight between plants．

C．The big and beautiful courgette．

D．The wonderful appearance in the garden．

64．What was out of the expectation of the tree and vegetables?

A．That the gardener stopped watering them．

B．That the courgette understood what was happening．

C．That they could live together．

D．That they could take part in the contest．

65．How can one live in harmony with others according to the passage? A．By learning to stop being angry with others．

B．By learning to be thankful．

C．By respecting others and oneself．

D．By working together and helping each other．

D

How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."

Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends

on you, not on any other external factors.

I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.

Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.

Remember that you harvest what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.

If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.

66. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________.

A. Doesn't need improving

B. couldn't be improved

C. will be better some day

D. Will be worse in the future

67. What does the author think of the woman's life?

A. positive

B. satisfying

C. colorful

D. passive

68. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?

A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.

B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts

C . You can only achieve success when God wills it.

D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

69. In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _____________.

A. positive action

B. positive thinking

C. hope for the best

D. intention to succeed

70. The text is mainly written to advise you to ____________.

A. understand yourself

B. improve your life

C. believe in yourself

D. change your normal way

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

[1] Walking is a popular form of exercises. It is an easy activity and offers

a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercises.

[2] Regular, brisk walks help a person’s body work better. Walking builds

a stronger heart and lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help __________, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very few injuries. So there is also a lower “dropout” rate

among walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success.

[3] Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude about life.

[4] Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.

★ Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often.

★ People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields and malls are excellent places for walking.

★ People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn’t need a team or a partner for walking. There is no “season” for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.

★ Walking doesn’t cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.

[5] Walking offers a form of exercise within the reach of nearly everyone. With a little time and effort, people can rediscover a valuable form of exercise and improve their fitness.
