21、How similar are language and music?
Language is part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. It is the same with music, whether you listen to it on the radio on your drive to work or sit before an orchestra. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture.【1】
·Both language and music have a writing system.
In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music.【2】 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
·【3】
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
·Both share emotion.
【4】 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness.【5】 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.
A．Both are expressive.
B．Both vary with culture.
C．Here are some of their similarities.
D．How do you know that I am angry?
E．We use language to express our thoughts.
F．So just as you read English,you can read music.
G．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.
22、We know the famous ones — the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells — but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper（雨刮器）? Shouldn’t we know who they are?
Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of Mclean’ statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negociating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
【1】By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are ________.
A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous
B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
【2】Professor Joan Mclean’s course aims to ________.
A. add colour and variety to students’ campus life
B. inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try their own invention
【3】Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ________.
A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures
【4】Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
23、An undersea cable (电缆) that connects the island nation of Tonga to the Internet has broken. As a result, Tongans will be without their main Internet connection for several weeks.
Touga is a country formed of about 169 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Most of the country's 100, 000 people live on the main island, called Tongatapu. Like most island nations, Tonga gets its Internet through a cable that runs deep under the sea.
On the night of Sunday, January 20, the 514-mile (827-kilometer) cable that connects Tonga to Fiji got broken. No one is sure how it broke, but the most likely reason is that it was damaged by a ship pulling its anchor (锚).
In many places which use underwater cables, there is a backup cable. But because Tonga’s cable is so long and costs so much money, and because not that many people live on Tonga, the country just has one cable.
The broken cable caused Tonga's Internet to stop almost completely. It was also impossible to make calls to other countries at first.
But an Internet company soon brought Internet service back using a satellite (人造卫星) connection. Banks and many government offices also have satellite connections. But this is much slower. For satellite Internet, all signals (信号) must be sent out into space and then come back to the ground somewhere else. Satellite connections only allow a small part of the Internet activity that is possible with an undersea cable.
As a result, Tongans have to think carefully about how the Internet will be used. A person speaking for the company that owns the cable said that about 80% of the Internet use in Tonga was for social media (社交媒体) sites, such as Facebook and YouTube. The country is thinking about blocking these social media sites until the problem is fixed.
A special repair ship is traveling to Tonga from Samoa to fix the cable, which is broken in two places. The repairs should begin on Monday or Tuesday and could take a week or longer. No one knows yet how much it will cost to fix the cable.
【1】What may be the reason for Tonga’s undersea cable’s failure?
A．The cable was hit by a lost ship.
B．The cable was in poor condition.
C．The cable had a technical failure.
D．The cable was broken by a ship.
【2】Why did Tonga fail to lay a backup cable?
A．A backup cable would be very costly.
B．The underwater condition makes it impossible.
C．People of the country disagreed about laying one.
D．The country didn't realize the importance of the Internet.
【3】What can we learn about satellite Internet?
A．It is expensive to use.
B．It carries more signals.
C．It works at slow speeds.
D．It supports most Internet use.
【4】What does Tonga plan to do to make good use of satellite Internet?
A．Allow Tongans to use it at night.
B．Stop the use of social media sites.
C．Ask the Internet company for advice.
D．Just allow government offices to use it.
24、On Tuesday, Apple's CEO Tim Cook announced the Apple Watch. The new smart device, which is worn on the wrist, just like a normal watch, can do all the things a cell phone does--and more.
At $349, the Apple Watch is expensive. Some experts doubt that they will become as successful as smartphones. It does seem likely, though, that the device will open yet another door in personal computing. The watch is the smartest computer yet. It taps you on the wrist whenever a new message comes in. It prepares answers to questions you receive from friends. It reminds you where you parked your car. It tracks your health. It even allows you to send your heartbeat to others.
When it goes on sale early next year, it will be Apple's first item in a new category of technology--wearable computers. If the Apple Watch becomes popular, it will change the way the world interacts with computers. People may depend on the smart jewelry even more than they already depend on their phones. "It might not only be a game changer for Apple, but for the entire industry." says technology expert Daniel Ives. "A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here."
The Apple watch is specially designed for a smaller device. An entire computer fits onto a single chip(芯片). Users will be able to scroll(滚屏)just like they would do on an iPhone. It will have a built-in speaker for alarms that users can both hear and feel. Pressing the side button brings up contacts so you can communicate with people quickly and easily. Apple Watch also introduces health and fitness apps that can help people lead healthier lives. The built- in heart rate sensor (传感器) and GPS will track calories burned and workouts.
According to Matt Vella, a writer for TIME magazine, the watch is the most exciting device since the iPad. After actually trying the watch, he says, “It sits on the wrist very naturally. You could easily forget you are wearing the Apple Watch, and you will."
【1】What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A．Apple Watch will include many new games.
B．Many game developers will pay attention to Apple Watch.
C．Apple plays an important part in the personal computing field.
D．Apple Watch will greatly influence the personal computing field.
【2】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us .
A．how the Apple Watch works
B．the small size of the Apple Watch
C．what information we can get from the Apple Watch
D．the difference between the Apple Watch and the iPhone
【3】The side button on the Apple Watch is used to .
A．sound the alarm
B．adjust the built-in speaker
C．build the man-machine communication
D．make the health and fitness apps start working
【4】What is Matt Vella's attitude towards the Apple Watch?
A．Doubtful.
B．Favorable.
C．Objective.
D．Unbelievable.
25、 The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the ________ ‘Legless Man’. ________ of the time will go something like this: in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to ________ people walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were spoiled by the ________ of large car parks.
The future history books might also record that we were ________ of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world - or less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a ________ image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, ________, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly ________ in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there.’ You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is ________ to say ‘I’ve been there-meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.’
When you travel at high speeds，the present means ________: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is ________, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you ________ all experience; the present ceases to be a reality. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and ________ are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical ________. He knows that sound.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The class came to an end. John was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! John picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in John’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! John looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Smith was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning.
John decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would be most likely to be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister's birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?”, he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan!
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John stared at the blank name line for a moment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“John, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Smith said.
