第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

By the time I was in second grade, Dad had become a professor. We moved to a small university town in Illinois and found ourselves living next to a lot of young students. Almost every morning, as Dede would walk me to my school, we’d walk through the students’party wasteland covered with things I was too young to know about and Dede was too old to care about.

One day, a group of guys started shouting “Ali Baba”at us and laughing. I turned red and begged Dede to cross the street with me. But she refused. Instead, she laughed in her usual way, yelled “Ali Baba” and waved at them as we walked by. They just watched us in shocked silence and never said anything to us again.

Dede set an example for me that day and forever after, because she taught me to be always proud of who I was.

Her stories were like a movie that was rich and imaginative and she never sugarcoated anything. While Dede preferred the Queen’s English, her vocabulary was just as alive. The landscapes she created in her stories were so vibrant(充满活力的) and filled with a wild cast of characters.

Almost every day, I would interrupt Dede, whatever she was busy with, and beg her to tell me a story. She would silently stare at me through the large glasses that took up half of her face. Whether it was only 10 minutes or several hours, I would barely speak as Dede took me to places I never wanted to come back from.

My mother died while I was a child. Without the care and guidance of Dede in every aspect of life, I couldn’t have lived happily. Dede taught me so much, not only in daily life, but also in her attitude to dealing with unpleasant things that I don’t want to confront.

21. How did the author feel when the boys shouted “Ali Baba” at them?

A. Shocked.

B. Ashamed.

C. Afraid.

D. Excited.

22. Why was the author always asking Dede to tell stories?

A. Her stories were lively and interesting.

B. The author had no friends and felt lonely.

C. The author liked Dede to speak in the Queen’s English.

D. She could make a dull landscape seem beautiful.

23. From the text, we can infer that Dede was the author’s_________.

A. mother

B. neighbour

C. aunt

D. housekeeper

24. We can learn from the text that the author__________.

A. appreciated Dede very much

B. didn’t like her father

C. was very selfish

D. thought of Dede as her teacher

B

Every product has its own history. Headphones, especially, have evolved over time. Headphones

have existed since 1919, but they were mainly used as amplifiers(扩声器) for telephones and radios back then.

Through technological advancement, headphones experienced a change in their look and feel. In the late 1930s, Beyerdynamic officially invented headphones and put them into market. However, Milwaukee-based jazz musician, John C. Koss, invented the first stereo headphones in the year 1958. The first headphones were big, heavy and limited to long-playing record music listening. They were used by pilots and at radio stations.

However, the invention of the Walkman led to many changes in headphones. At the time, there was a growing industry ready to provide accessories(附件) for personal stereos, like headphones. These accessories became favorites for both professional musicians and music lovers. The latest generation electronics, like cellphones, TVs, computers, home theaters, CD players, and more, are all compatible(可兼容的) with headphones.

Traditional, full-sized headphones continue to be used in some recording studios even now. However, modern headphones have a more stylish appearance. The in-ear headphones are one of today’s more popular types. Lighter than traditional headphones, they have a vertical in-ear design that makes them much easier to carry. Another advantage of in-ear headphones is that they come in several sizes, so they are sure to fit perfectly in everyone’s ears. They are built with advanced technologies to provide a comfortable and pleasurable listening experience.

Each headphone has its own pros and cons, but most give a reasonably good performance. Whatever kind of headphones you choose is a matter of personal preference.

25. Before the 1930s, headphones were mainly used as___________.

A. stereo equipment only for airplane pilots

B. music recording equipment for professional musicians

C. loudspeakers for telephones and radios

D. accessories for personal stereos

26. All the following are features of the first stereo headphones EXCEPT__________.

A. they had a handy, user-friendly appearance

B. they were big, heavy and not easy to use

C. they were only used for long-playing record music listening

D. they were designed by jazz musician John C. Koss

27. After first being used as accessories for personal stereos, headphones____________.

A. were favored especially by professional musicians

B. can now be used together with other electronics

C. became smaller and lighter for use in some recording studios

D. are now much cheaper so everyone can afford them
