24、“Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton — a machine without feelings and can stand to have my piece of bread taken away from my lips, and my drop of living water wasted from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, normal, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul（灵魂）as you, and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much money, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the way of tradition, nor even of my body; it is my spirit that communicates with your spirit; when it comes to the end of our lives, when we stood at God’s feet, we are equal（平等的）!”

Sounds similar? These are the most famous and classical sentences in Jane Eyre — an autobiographical（自传的）novel by Charlotte Bronte, who was known as one of “The Bronte Sisters” together with Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte. The novel tells about a p arentless young woman Jane Eyre in the nineteenth-century England.

Though she was raised by her mean and rich relatives before being sent to Lowood, a school with terrible conditions, she grew up to be a poor but confident, small in body but huge in soul, normal but self-respecting girl. More cheerfully, she fina lly got married to Mr. Rochester after going through a lot of ups and downs.

“I am not a bird. I am a free human being with an independent will.” When we think of this girl, what she gives us is not a pretty face, but a strong admiring feeling of her independent soul and strong heart. Jane Eyre shows a woman who dares to resist（反抗） and dares to fight for freedom and equality. That is the true meaning of “timeless beauty”.

【1】What does the underlined word “automaton” mean in Paragraph 1?

A．做事磨蹭的人

B．做事机械的人

C．情感丰富的人

【2】What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A．Jane Eyre is soulless and heartless.

B．Jane Eyre is beautiful and rich.

C．Jane Eyre is normal but strong-minded.

【3】Who is the writer of the novel Jane Eyre?

【4】Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Jane Eyre went through a hard process in her childhood.

B．Jane Eyre was raised by her kind and rich relatives.

C．Jane Eyre is remembered by her pretty face and strong will.

【5】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．The background introduction of the writer.

B．The summary of Jane Eyre’s life.

C．Jane Eyre’s love story with Mr. Rochester.

26、When I first went to Britain, a lot of things seemed strange to me. For example, people drove on the left side of the road and many people carried an umbrella all the time. There were also many other things that I found really  ▲ .

The first thing I noticed was how polite British people were. When I got on the bus, the driver would greet me; when people got off the bus, they would say “Thank you” to the driver; when I went into a shop, I would be greeted by a smiling salesman who would say, “Can I help you?”

The family I stayed with were very nice, but their house was full of oddities (怪现象). Firstly, there were carpets (地毯) everywhere, even in the bathroom. Also, the bathroom was full of surprises. The first time I tried to wash my hands I burned myself. The cold and hot water came out of different taps (水龙头)! Then, when I tried to dry my hair I couldn't find a socket (插座) for my hairdryer. Maybe that wasn't such a big surprise. More surprising was the fact that British people didn't take their shoes off when they went into a house — can you imagine?

I guess that for British people all of these things are normal. It's only when you visit a foreign country that you realize that what you think is normal is not. Normality depends on where you are.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】The best word for “▲” is “______”.

A. successful   B. traditional   C. exciting   D. surprising

【5】How does the writer develop the passage?

A. By telling a short story.

B. By providing some examples.

C. By showing different opinions.

27、When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity（身份，特性）as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts can express the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same thing. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language through which we express our fears, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.Students regard music as a way of entertainment.

B.Students disagree with their parents on education.

C.Students take music as an important subject.

D.Students prefer the arts to science.

【2】In Paragraph 2, the writer uses jazz as an example to____________.

A.compare it with rock music

B.show music identifies a society

C.introduce American musical traditions

D.prove music influences people’s lifestyles

【3】According to the passage, the arts and science____________.   .

A.explain the world in different ways

B.explain different facts of the world

C.express people’s feelings in different ways

D.explain what it means to be human differently

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Music education is worth more attention.

B.Music should be of top education priority.

C.Music is really a good communication tool.

D.Music education makes students more imaginative.
