Passage 2(2015 浙江紹興)

    閱讀下面文章，然后從文后所給的A-E五個選項中選擇正 確的小標(biāo)題(其中一項多余) ，將其序號填入1一4題，并回答 5題。    

    Which musical instrument (樂器) shall I learn?

    Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument,but they are put off by one big problem： What to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide.

    1  

    Many instruments are of different use,but some are more fit for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like,so consider this before you start. 

    Do you want to play with other people?

    Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people,what sort of instrument would be most practical? Your first thought of playing the violin,for example,might disappear when too many people are competing with you!

    2  

    Many people live in flats and practicing the drums,for example,will drive your neighbors crazy.Think about where and when you are going to practice,as well as the feelings of the people you live with or near.

    3 

    This is quite a big factor. Many instruments can be bought at different prices.But this doesnl change the fact that many,such as the piano,are always pretty expensive.If you can’t afford your chosen instrument,will you be able to borrow someone else or hire one?

    4  

    Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It5s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher,preferably one who plays a few different instruments,who can give you some advice and push you in the right direc-tion.

   

5. Do you like music? Why or wliy not?(不少于 5 個單詞)

Passage 8(2013江蘇南通，七)

請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

    It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall.It makes us wonder that since scientists can send a man to the moon,why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy.There are actually different cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get,so there isn^ a cure for each one.

    When a virus attacks your body,your body works hard to get rid of it.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.You feel terrible because you can5t breathe well,but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature goes up and you get a fever,but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (細(xì)胞）.You may feel very uncomfortable,but actually your wonderful body is doing eveiything it can to kill the cold.

    Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries,for example,people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people lake hot baths and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms (癥狀) of colds.

    There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn^ have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke,however,on taking medicine when you have a cold.lt goes like this： It takes about one week to get over a cold if you donH take medicine,but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

  1. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold?

     

2. Why do you have difficulty breathing when you catch a cold?

   

3. How might Americans deal with colds?

   

4. How long does it usually take to cure the common cold?

   

5. What do you think of taking medicine after catching a cold?

Passage 7(2014江蘇常州，五)

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后的表格中填人恰 當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~，每空一同。

    Much meaning can be conveyed (傳送) with our eyes,so it is of- ten said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger,but nol too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared (盯） at,he may feel uncoinfortalDle.

    The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down lo see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry toward others 1 stare at you that way.Eyes do speak,right?

    Looking too long at someone may seem lo be impolite and even rude.But things are differenl when it conies to staring at the opposite sex.If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman,his purpose is obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand lhat he is admiring her.

    However,ihe normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking.

    If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar (說謊者) usually looks too long at the victim,because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

    In fact,continuous eye contacl only happens between two lovers,who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time,to show feelings that words cannot express. Obviously,eye contact shtjuld be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.
