AI’m sure you know the song “Happy Birthday”. But do you know who wrote the song and for whom it was written?The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lousciville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody(曲调) of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew(侄子). She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!Miss Patty Hill and her sister had never expected that this song would become so popular, but it really did. People all over the world like the song because of its simplicity in tune and friendliness in words.1. Archibald A. Hill was ___ _____.A. EnglishB. AmericanC. RussianD. Australian2. Professor Archibald A. Hill was Miss Mildred Hill’s ______.A. sonB. studentC. brotherD. nephew3. The song “Happy Birthday” has a history of _______ years.A. 97B. more than 90C. less than 90D. about 904. The sentence “it really did” means _______.A. The song really became popularB. Their wish would really come trueC. People all over the world like to listen to the songD. Yes, but the song didn’t become popularB"My life is full of drama and I won't have time to worry about something as petty（琐碎的）as what I look like." Not words you'd expect from a superstar. But being ordinary is exactly what makes British singer-songwriter Adele so extraordinary.Adele一full name Adele Laurie Blue Adkins一has had countless number one hits and has broken three Guinness “don't make music fur eye, make music for ears.” Records, including being the first female singer to spend 11 straight weeks at UK number one with the album, “21” Her popularity goes across the Atlantic. At the American Music Awards in November, she earned three prizes for best female pop artist, best album with “21”，and top adult modern performer.Adele was born in north London, and still speaks with a typical London accent. Her chatty London girl attitude has had its weakness. She recently had to cancel a tour because of a vocal（声带）problem. She told the Sun that the root of the problem was "because I was talking too much".Adele started writing songs at the age of 15 when she bought herself a guitar. She recorded three songs for a class project and posted them on . The songs were spotted by a record company, and her career kicked off. Adele has her own tips for singing: "it's more impressive, somehow, if you don't try to impress", she said. "Be natural with it. Say it straight."Despite her fame, Adele still holds onto her personality. Though some have criticized her body shape, Adele has said that she doesn't like going to the gym. "I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine," she told Rolling Stone magazine.Adele is now number nine in the Sunday Times Rich List for British music stars under the age of 30. Despite this, she remains the same as ever. In a recent interview with the Telegraph, she described how she enjoys her success: "Money doesn't matter to me-I've never had it. I give a lot to Great Ormond Street Hospital, monthly... It's important to me that I give, because people always helped me and my mom out when we needed it."5. According to the author, what makes Adele so unusual is thatA. she is ordinaryB. she has a lot of famous songsC. she cares about the lookD. her life is full of drama6. Which of the following is NOT true about the honors Adele won?A. She has broken 3 Guinness Records.B. Her album 21 was number one in UK for 11 weeks.C. She earned 3 prizes for best album 21 in USA.D. She was awarded top adult modern performer in USA.7. The underlined words kicked off in the 4th paragraph probably mean ．A. kicked a goalB. beganC. was discoveredD. remained the same8.

The Generation 90s is coming!Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut （初次登台）．Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle．Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group．EarphonesThese little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s．They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted（自恋的）look, of course, life is not always music to the ears．Martian languageThey have created their own code-like online language．It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand．This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers．Self-PortraitSaying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is usual for t his generation．A little bit of narcissism （自恋）never hurts anyone．It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But beaware of the risks of posting private photos online．Text-messagingThey can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak．This is a generation that respects efficiency．However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style．9．According to the passage, if you belong to the Gen-90s , you will ____________ ．A．just appreciate yourself and ignore others’ strength s．B．like music and dance very much．C．have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen-80s．D．have your own symbols and lifestyle．10．According to the text, the writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen-90．A．Zhang Chao is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficiently．B．Li Hua likes music and always wearing ipodC．Lily is a shy girl and she doesn’t like making friends．D．Fang fang likes being taken photos and often posting them on line．11．According to this passage, which is NOT true?A．They don’t use the cool and complex online language in formal writing．B．They type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speaking．C．Not all teens are cautious about posting photos．D．The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a necessary part of life．12．The main idea of the passage is about________．A．the Gen-90s’ happy lifeB．the difference between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90sC．the Gen-90s’ unique lifestyle and som e practical warningsD．the similarities between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90sDWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in the US，it might be leaves—but artificial(人造的)ones. Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis(光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seeminglysimple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts(催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries.” One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology，”said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype(原型)could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.13．Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA．c，b，a，d B．c，a，b，d C．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b 14．The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterC．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process15．The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．an invention copying photosynthesisC．giving energy to the poorD．a mixture of water power and solar energy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。
