In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water."We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to replacing it."Bergqvist built his first igloo for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. "The only wooden thing .we have left in the igloo is the front door," he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival(生存) certificate recording their success.

At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10rooms. "You can get a lot of people in," explains Bergqvist.

It is the person who is cheerful, has a smiling face and behaves as if he or she is enjoying every moment of the event! Such people have an optimistic(乐观的) opinion on life. They are the ones with a positive attitude. On the other hand, let's see that fellow in the corner with a long face. He is most probably thinking about the time and money wasted in having fun. He is a pessimist, one with a negative attitude.A person with a positive attitude gets on well with the job at hand. He doesn't worry about what's gone before or what might happen in the future. If there is a problem, he quickly thinks of ways to solve it. If the problem cannot be solved singly, he seeks help from someone else. He doesn't feel that it's beneath his dignity to seek assistance.When Sonal lost her history notes days before an important examination, she sat down and cried. Then she pulled herself together, borrowed a friend's notes, worked day and night and managed to copy down whatever she had lost. Sonal passed the exam with flying colors.It's just not possible, even for the greatest optimist, to smile all the time and feel good all day. Everyone has a period of blues now and then, when everything seems sad and without cheer. But once you develop a positive attitude, once you realize that life is a series of ups and downs, dark clouds and bright sunshine, in no time at all, you've bounced back, ready to welcome the world again with open arms and a huge smile! So from this moment on, keep your face to the sunshine and you'll never see the shadows.（1）What might be the best title of the passage?A . To Live with an Aim in Life.B . To Be a Pessimist or Optimist.C . Life Is Full of Ups and Downs.D . Develop the Positive Attitude.（2）The case of Sonal suggested that .A . a person can solve the problem once he thinks of a wayB . Sonal made up for what she had lost by working day and nightC . Sonal was a pessimist because she lost her history notesD . the history notes that she lost was not important for her（3）The underlined phrase "bounced back" in the last paragraph means .A . moved back and forthB . jumped upC . returned to active stateD . came back（4）According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A . If you always look at the shadows, you will be in high spirits.B . It is impossible for a person to be in a good mood all the time.C .

Students are still taught to read notation(乐谱) so they can recite compositions that they would never listen to on their MP3 players or play with friends. Playing music enriches life. The question is: Why do schools teach music in a way that turns off so many young people rather than catch their imagination? Can we do a better job of using the power of music to get kids excited about school?The experience of an organization called Little Kids Rock suggests the answer is yes —if we change the way music is taught. Little Kids Rock has helped music programs in over a thousand public schools and served 150,000 children. The organization has given 30,000 free instruments out, mainly guitars, and trained 1,500 teachers to run music classes in which students quickly experience the joys of playing their favorite songs, performing in bands(乐队), and writing their own music.The key to Little Kids Rock is that it teaches children to play music the way many musicians learn to play it — not by notation, but by listening, imitation(模仿) and meaningful experimentation. “The knowledge you need to get started playing rock music is very limited,” explains Dave Wish, the founder of Little Kids Rock. “In high school, my friend Paul taught me a couple of chords(和弦) and my life was changed forever. On the first day of class, Little Kids Rock teachers place guitars in the hands of their students and get them practicing chords that will enable them to play thousands of songs. The kids decide what songs they want to learn and the class is off and running. Their progress is surprising. Within a year, eight and nine-year-olds are playing musical instruments, and giving concerts, even performing their own songs.One of the biggest advantages that music offers is the ability to encourage students who are otherwise bored by school. “I've had students start coming back to school because of this program,” said Adkison Thomas, who heads up music for the Dallas Independent School District. He added, “One of the best things is that the teachers discover a new side of their students. They see kids become successful who weren't before.”（1）The expression “turn off” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.A . make kids feel coolB . make kids feel boredC . make kids feel confidentD . make kids feel nervous（2）How did Little Kids Rock help the school?A . By writing music for kids.B . By playing kids' favorite songsC . By making instruments for schoolD . By training teachers for music classes.（3）Little Kids Rock is successful because ______.A . it encourages kids to experience musicB . it helps kids learn from great musiciansC . it allows kids to decide how to learn musicD . it offers musical programs all over the country（4）What does the writer want to tell us?A . Learning music is a good way to become successful.B . Teaching in a proper way benefits students' developmentC . It's necessary for students to practice a lot in learning musicD . It's important for teachers to discover the new sides of students.四、用单词的正确形式完成句子 (共1题；共10分)15. （10分）根据短文内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词填空，并将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。

As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls, and the boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now things have changed a lot.In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.There are several reasons for this.Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not do well in their study.Secondly, girls are more careful and more sensible than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.（1）China Youth says that more and more ______A . boys are cleverer than girlsB . boys can't go to schoolC . girls have entered collegesD . girls begin to study at school（2）42.14% refers to the number of _________A . girls at schools at schools in 1998B . girls in colleges in 2001C . boys at schools in 2001D . boys in colleges in 1998（3）The writer gave us _________ reasons to explain the question.A . twoB . threeC . fourD . five（4）The underlined word “proportion” means _________ in Chinese.A . 身高B . 比例C . 特征D . 速度（5）Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A .
