AMeet some of the first American notable givers Judah Touro (1775-1854)It is impossible to list all the charities to which Touro donated (捐赠). He made his fortune (财产) as a businessman. He helped found and support a variety of organizations, including hospitals, churches, and poorhouses in New Orleans. He supported Jewish aid organizations and Hebrew schools. When he died, he donated $500,000 to charities across the country.Isabella Graham (1742-1814)Graham was a mother of five children. She knew how difficult it was to raise a family alone. Once her children were grown, Graham moved to New York City. There, she helped found the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children. It was a charity with a lot to do. Its members helped fight waves of yellow fever that swept through the city. In 1806, Graham joined with Elizabeth “Eliza” Schuyler Hamilton to found the Orphan Asylum Society. The society provided homes and education for orphans (孤儿) in New YorkGeorge Peabody (1795-1869)Peabody gave away about half of his$18-million while he was still alive. His money helped found the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. He founded the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale as well. He also helped found the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. Perhaps his most generous cause was the creation of the Peabody Education Fund. He gave $2.1 million to the existing schools in the American South after the Civil War.Elizabeth “Eliza” Schuyler Hamilton (1757-1854)Hamilton joined the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children in 1804. Along with Isabella Graham, Hamilton organized the Orphan Asylum Society. She collected goods and raised money. She also helped ensure the care and education of more than 700 children.

On that late afternoon in winter, we stopped in front of the music shop window. Seeing those nice-looking guitars shining on their stands, we went into the shop because my son dreamed of owning a wild guitar.Years earlier, when he wasn’t even one year old, my wife and I used to sing notes to him each morning to see whether he was awake. He responded with the same little melody (曲调). When he was older, we often asked him if he wanted to learn to play an instrument. As musicians ourselves, nothing seemed more natural, especially given his obvious talent. But he always responded with a definite no.Fortunately, he had a classmate at school who was taking piano lessons and played The Pink Panther wonderfully. My son immediately learned it by heart, having taken notice for the first time of our home piano. Then one day, to our great relief, he said, I want to learn to play the guitar.“Good,” we said happily, "but why guitar then and not piano?“Because I like the connection with the instrument.” His mother and I looked at each other. We weren’t used to hearing that level of language from him. I bought him a guitar and at his request we sent him to a music school.While he appreciated classical guitarists, it was only natural that very soon he wanted to play music closer to his own taste, on a guitar that he’d chosen himself. With the aim of this ideal(理想的) instrument, we went into the music shop. A salesman greeted us. He recommended many seemingly rubbishy expensive guitars. My son couldn’t see one he wanted. He was too shy to play in front of strangers. He asked, “Can I look on my own?” The salesman let him head into the depths of the shop.About a quarter later, my son returned, carrying a folk guitar. It was definitely the right one.24. How did the author’s son show his gift for music?A. He was interested in playing the guitar.B. He played the piano very well in school.C.

Why did the author’s son want to buy a new guitar?A. His first guitar was broken.B. His original guitar was old.C. He needed a guitar to his musical taste.D. He wanted a guitar of very high quality.CComic (漫画) is a tool used to express ideas by still images, often combined with text or other visual information.Inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics (象形文字), the first comic books were written towards the end of the 19th century. They were a series of line-drawn pictures, without any color or detail, telling simple but clever stories. Words were eventually added so that plots(情节) could be more interesting. It was cartoonist Richard Felton Outcault who introduced the balloon in comics in 1896. In the balloon, he wrote his characters' thoughts and dialogues, which was to become the standard practice for almost all comic book writers.Some of the early comic book characters, such as Popeye and Krazy Kat are still widely read to this very day. These early comic books are now considered art forms because, like art, they have a timeless appeal that is cross-cultural. Popeye for example is now available in over sixty languages and has been a well-known figure among children over the world for generations.In the late 1920s, comic book writers started to create adventure stories which were not written particularly for children, but for adults as well. In other words, comic books had fully developed into a form of family entertainment by 1932. It was at this time that Superman and Batman, the two most popular comic book figures ever, were developed in the US, and Hergé's Tintin appeared in Europe. Comic books also started becoming more detailed, with creators using complex drawings, a wide range of colors and even more complex story-lines.All contemporary characters, from magical Spawn to intelligent Calvin and Hobbes, have their roots in this initial(最初的) thirty-year period of comic book history. Since the late 20th century, bound volumes(合订本) such as graphic novels and comic albums have become increasingly common, while online webcomics have been growing rapidly in the 21st century.28. Outcault was the first to _____.A. add lines and detailsB. show who was speakingC. use colors and more shapesD. apply words to develop a story29. Why does the author mention Popeye?A. He was originally created for adults.B. He has become a work of art.C. He continues to be popular.D. He is humorous.30. When was Tintin developed?A. Before the time Popeye was created.B. Around the same time as Batman.C. At the end of the 19th century.D. In the late 1920s.31. What can we conclude about present comic books?A. They are mainly read online.B. Their origins can be found in old comics.C. Their primary target customers are adults.D. They are more interested in shaping heroes.DPee r (同龄人) pressure is one of the biggest issues facing teenagers. Parents worry that their children's peers may have a negative influence on their behavior. It is true that teenagers struggling to create their own identities are more easily influenced by peer pressure to smoke or to be involved in even worse behaviors. It is also true that adolescents coming from families of lower socioeconomic position, or from broken families, are at risk for some kinds of unacceptable behavior. Teenagers with similar backgrounds tend to be attracted to each other and put peer pressure on those within their group to behave like the rest of them, whether that means smoking or stealing a car. However, while the dangers and negative effects of teen peer pressure are more often presented in the media (媒体), the positive effect peer pressure can have on adolescents is quite powerful.Many schools and communities provide a variety of opportunities for young people. One example is to join a band or orchestra. The competition for first chair among the various instrumentalists has a positive influence. The fellowship of playing music together is another positive influence as peers encourage one another or laugh together at missed notes in practice or make strange sounds on their instruments together — in short, have fun together. This association with fellow musicians creates the pressure to perform as well as one's peers. Similarly, learning to contribute to a team in competitive sports is another example of the benefits of positive peer pressure. Sportspersons look to each other for emotional support and put pressure on their peers to win. Finally, one should never overlook (忽视) theactivities in which teens can interact(互动) with their peers. Public speaking clubs, chess clubs, software design competitions, theater, dance, and art — the list is long and varied.If families and schools can get young people to start moving in the direction of their interests, the positive peer pressure on teenagers who want to become successful will far outweigh the influences of negative peer pressure that are too often the subject of the media. The teen years can be among the most remarkable ina person's life!32. What does the author say about the media?A. They are more influential than peers.B. They give a sharper focus on teenagers.C. They expose too much of society's dark side.D. They often report peer pressure in a negative way.33. What does the example of fellow musicians show?A. Peer pressure can improve their performance.B. They are more often influenced by peer pressure.C. Peer pressure prevents them from acting individually.D. Their directors encourage peer pressure among them.34. What does the underlined word “outweigh” in the last paragraph mean?A. Be less surprising than.B. Be less influential than.C. Be greater than.D. Be worse than.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Most teens are affected by peer pressureB. Parents wish to reduce peer pressureC. Peer pressure pushes you to winD. Peer pressure is not all bad 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
