（A）To me，life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life，whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I’m not sure about it.Now，we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we discover them in everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other. And，ofcourse，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working or playing or writing music.It is well said，“Through music a child enters a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong.”21．The writer says more about ______ in the text.A．life full of music B．life without musicC．the importance of music D．the development of music 22．From the text，we learn that many people______.A．don’t realize the importance of musicB．get along quite well without musicC．go to the concert instead of enjoying musicD．think life would be less exciting without music23．In the writer’s opinion，if there was no music in the films or TV plays，______.A．the cinema and theatre would be quietB．we would lose some of the audienceC．everything would be as exciting as beforeD．it would be hard to imagine the result24．The underlined word “melody” means “______”．A．flying B．looking C．singingD．livingBLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No.1Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for anyand all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need，” but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No.2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life，” Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No.3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep，” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”Gift No.4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things —many of which are “green” —and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.25．What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits?A．Take notes. B．Be with her.C．Buy medicine. D．Give her gifts.26．What can be a gift of organization for your mother?A．Keeping her medical information together.B．Buying all gifts for her from one company.C．Making a list of her medical check-ups.D．Storing her medicines in a safe place.27．Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother's sleep?A．In Gift No.1.

D．In Gift No.4.28．Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to ________.A．enjoy good sleep B．be well-organizedC．get extra support D．give others helpCSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen ...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike mein books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often — only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories — I just live, and the memories form themselves.29．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A．observing her school routine B．expressing her satisfaction C．impressing her classmates D．preserving her history 30．What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A．A dull night on the journey. B．The beauty of the great valley.C．A striking quotation from a book. D．Her concerns for future generations.31．What does the author put in her diary now?A．Notes and beautiful pictures.B．Special thoughts and feelings.C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.32．The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.A．to experience it B．to live the present in the futureC．to make memories D．to give accurate representations of itDUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺)．Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. R un your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.33．Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A．Using river water. B．Throwing batteries away.C．Paving parking lots. D．Throwing rubbish into lakes. 34．The last paragraph is intended to ________.A．show us how to fix leaks at homeB．tell us how to run a dishwasherC．prove what drinking glass is best for usD．suggest what we do to save water at home35．The text is mainly about ________.A．why paving roads reduces our waterB．how much we depend on water to liveC．why droughts occur more in dry climatesD．how human activity affects our water supply第二节七选五（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。
