| As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 1 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the 2 for each child to find their light. I would like to 3 a story about it. For a few years I was 4 with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 5 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 6 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 7 on my lap (膝上). One of her favorite songs was "John the Rabbit." It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 8 twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes!" Vanessa liked to 9 her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she 10 said or sang a word. One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 11 me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth in 12 and for that moment l was the one who could not speak. When my heart 13 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 14 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection. Several years later, Imet Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 15 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 16 so many times in out music class. The little girl, 17 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 18 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 19 the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's 20 . | ||||

| Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 16: They read below a sixth-grade level, which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives. Among them, Amiya is one. Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school. She handed her diploma to her mother, who read it to her. "Then when someone asked me to read it, I could remember the things she read, and I knew what I had to say," recalled Amiya Olden, "When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts, and that's when I really would get upset. I would see words on the menu but I couldn't read!" But don't feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she'd read enough. Two summers ago, she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading. Nineteen months ago, she was reading at a second-grade level; now at a fifth-grade level. Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library, where she checks out books and reads them. She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job. And she has advice for others, who have trouble reading. "Don't give up on it," she said. "Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes, practice does help. If you really want to be able to go somewhere, go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that, you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go... If you want to succeed in life and grow, you have to read. More important, you have to feel confident that you can." |
| 1. Amiya's mother read the diploma to her so that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. she could encourage her daughter to improve her reading B. her daughter could remember the content of the diploma C. they both could remember the particular moment D. she could show off before her daughter |
| 2. Amiya attends Pro Literacy Detroit to _____. |
|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. many people can't find good jobs due to poor reading B. the job market pays too much attention to reading C. most students can't graduate from high school D. the reading crisis affects only poor people |
| 4. Which of the following is true of Amiya? |
|

| Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first. The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile (简介) which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services. Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests. Just as in conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun. |
| 1. The purpose of writing the passage is to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. persuade readers to go dating on the Internet B. inform us how to date on the Internet C. warn readers against web love D. introduce Internet dating to us |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. you can avoid a face-to-face meeting in the beginning B. you're sure to find a partner-with the same interests C. you'll find absolutely reliable information of others D. you'll gain fame and money overnight |
| 4. The underlined word "pitfalls" in Paragraph 4 most probably means _____. |
|

was on a diet the whole time I was growing up," she says. "And she put me on my first diet when I was 10. I lost puppy fat, gained her approval and never ate normally again." America's First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey. But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha? Could they develop eating disorders because of it? "It's wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters' eating disorders," says Susan Ringwood, chief executive of the eating disorders charity, Beat. "There is a genetic (基因的) component to eating disorders." However, "We do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child's eating. It's important to realize that you are your daughter's role model. Girls idolize their mothers." says Ringwood. "No food should ever be 'good' or 'bad'," Ringwood says: Instead, "You have to make it clear that food is a sociable, healthy and fun part of life, not something to be feared." "Talk to her about body image," Ringwood says. "Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman. Show her that anorexic (厌食的) fashion models are not sexy, but ill. The pressure on girls today is immense," she says. "But don't forget that you are the authoritative voice, too." | ||

| As they migrate (迁移), butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind. Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights. To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes. Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate. Many migrating birds do the same thing. The study also found, butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming,migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops. |
| 1. What's the main idea of the text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Insects migrate with the seasons. B. Wind helps insects greatly in migrating. C. Windsurfing insects have real direction. D. Scientists have trouble in observing insects. |
| 2. Scientists originally thought that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. insects always waited for their favourable winds B. insects chose the winds they wanted to ride C. insects were just blown about by the wind D. insects positioned themselves in the winds |
| 3. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the little creatures can fly very fast B. they have no regular migrating courses C. the wind's direction is hard to foresee D. their flight is long and high above ground |
| 4. We can learn from the text that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A insects fly in the way birds do B. insects travel more easily in autumn C. insects never position themselves when flying low D. insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along |
| 5. According to the passage, the findings can _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. increase insects in number B. instruct farmers when to spray C. prevent climate warming D. help protect insects |

| [l]Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them. Hot is a simple, easily understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word hot. But not always, as we shall see. [2]The words hot potato, for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot potato. The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes. Imagine trying to carrv a hot potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. Some publicly argued problems are high1y emotional. The problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut. And that also can make a politician very unpopular. The questions must be dealt with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato. [3]Another expression is not so hot. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer "not so hot." What she means is she does not feel well. Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like somethin. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means ______. [4]A hot shot is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully. [5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. A person who becornes angry easily is called a hothead. An angry person's neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar. |
