When William, a 10-year-old boy planned to learn the piano, the music teacher was reluctant （不愿意）to accept him. She   31  her students to start their music lessons at a young age when their   32  were able to move quickly and easily.
“William, why do you want to learn the piano?” the teacher asked.
“I want to play for my mother.”
She noticed the   33  in his eyes as he answered her. She had no heart to   34  and accepted William as her student. But at each music lesson, William appeared to be in a hurry and played   35  “My mother is waiting outside for me,” he would tell the teacher. She was tempted to advise William not to   36  his time with lessons anymore as he   37  hit the right notes.  38  there was something about William — - she was fascinated with the tender look in his eyes   39  he mentioned “Mother”.
Suddenly, William stopped coming for his lessons. At the end of the semester year, the music teacher decided to   40  a piano recital (獨(dú)奏會(huì)) for her students and she asked them to participate.
She was   41  to find William’s application to contribute a musical piece. She would place him last in the recital   42  he made mistakes.
The day came and William appeared.  43  it was his turn to play, William bowed before the audience and said he was thankful for the music teacher’s   44  with him. “Tonight I am dedicating (獻(xiàn))my music to my mother.” he said.
Everyone later asked why William did not bring his mother as she would   45  be proud. William replied, “My mother was   46  and she could never  47  me play during her life time.   48   she sacrificed her time and money to let me learn the piano. This morning Mother passed away. I am sure she is now  49  as she can hear my piano recital. I chose a piece of piano music by Beethoven. As you all know, Beethoven was deaf by the end of his career. But music always symbolized his   50  for freedom and I would like to dedicate it to Mother.”

本文以William學(xué)鋼琴、上課表現(xiàn)、音樂(lè)會(huì)演奏為線(xiàn)索，描述了William為了實(shí)現(xiàn)母親的愿望而學(xué)習(xí)鋼琴，最后在音樂(lè)會(huì)上為已去世的母親獻(xiàn)上一曲貝多芬的樂(lè)曲，從中表現(xiàn)了 William對(duì)母親的摯愛(ài)。
小題1:．D　詞匯運(yùn)用題。題干中的“her students to start”屬于sb.to do 搭配。hope不能跟這種搭配。其他選項(xiàng)都可跟sb.to do 搭配，但在這種語(yǔ)境中，只能是preferred符合意義上的要求，指寧愿她的學(xué)生們?cè)诤苄∧挲g的時(shí)候開(kāi)始學(xué)音樂(lè)。
小題1:．A　生活常識(shí)題。與“彈鋼琴”有聯(lián)系的當(dāng)然是fingers。
小題1:．C　行文邏輯題。根據(jù)故事的結(jié)局可知，Williams的媽媽患病，危在旦夕，所以他一說(shuō)起媽媽就會(huì)難過(guò)。
小題1:．B　詞匯運(yùn)用題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處要用turn him down表示“拒絕”。put him down“奚落某人”；put him off“拖延”；turn sb off“打發(fā)某人走”，此句意為“她無(wú)心拒絕他”。
小題1:．A　語(yǔ)境判斷題。與前面的“in a hurry(急急忙忙)”相一致，此處要用played badly意指“彈鋼琴也是處處是錯(cuò)”。
小題1:．D　語(yǔ)境判斷題。此處表示出了音樂(lè)老師對(duì)William的失望。所以她很想告訴他別再把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在音樂(lè)方面了。
小題1:．B　行文邏輯題。此處是指老師想勸William別浪費(fèi)時(shí)間學(xué)音樂(lè)了，是因?yàn)樗麖膩?lái)沒(méi)有彈出一個(gè)準(zhǔn)確的音符。
小題1:．D　行文邏輯題。此處表達(dá)了老師的矛盾心理，一是勸他別把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在學(xué)音樂(lè)上了，另一方面William每當(dāng)提到媽媽時(shí)候，眼中就流露出溫柔的眼神，這位老師被深深地吸引住了。
小題1:．C　語(yǔ)法判斷題。each time在此處引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，意為“每當(dāng)……時(shí)候”。
小題1:．D　詞匯運(yùn)用題。學(xué)期末，音樂(lè)老師想組織一音樂(lè)演奏會(huì)。support“支持”；intend“打算；企圖”；organize“組織”。
小題1:．B　行文邏輯題。因?yàn)閃illiam后來(lái)都沒(méi)來(lái)學(xué)了，所以看到他申請(qǐng)參加獨(dú)奏會(huì)，老師應(yīng)該驚訝。
小題1:．C　語(yǔ)法題。“以防他會(huì)出錯(cuò)”是“所他放在最后一位表演”的目的。as far as“就……而言”；if only“要是……就好了”；now that“既然”。
小題1:．D　語(yǔ)法題。此處意指“當(dāng)該輪到他表演的時(shí)候”。
小題1:．A　行文邏輯題。從前文可看出，音樂(lè)老師雖然認(rèn)為他不適合學(xué)音樂(lè)，但還是對(duì)他很耐心的，所以，這個(gè)時(shí)候William要感謝的自然是她的patience。advice“忠告”；guide“指導(dǎo)”；concern“關(guān)心；擔(dān)心”，這三個(gè)詞均與行文沒(méi)有聯(lián)系。
小題1:．A　生活常識(shí)題。根據(jù)常識(shí)，孩子演奏家長(zhǎng)肯定很自豪和高興。
小題1:．B　行文邏輯題。William在后文提到Beethoven的“deaf”，由此推知，此處要用deaf。
小題1:．D　由第16個(gè)空推知此處要用hear，指媽媽在有生之年不能聽(tīng)到他的鋼琴演奏了。
小題1:．C　行文邏輯題。此處的意思是“她雖然聽(tīng)不到我的演奏，但她還是犧牲時(shí)間和錢(qián)讓我學(xué)鋼琴”。
小題1:．A　語(yǔ)境判斷題�，F(xiàn)在媽媽在天堂能夠聽(tīng)到了我的鋼琴演奏，所以她一定高興的。
小題1:．B　行文邏輯題。此處的意思是提“對(duì)已失聰?shù)呢惗喾襾?lái)說(shuō)，音樂(lè)象征著追求自由的奮斗”。此處要用struggle表示此義。effort“努力”；belief“信念”；challenge“挑戰(zhàn)”。

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear – producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three – year – old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over – protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（儀式）of passage.
Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增強(qiáng)）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
小題1:.
According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that_____.
A．we are the last generation to experience nature.
B．the author of Last Child in the Woods don’t defend parks against encroachment
C．without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives

小題2:.
According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will    .
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over – protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
小題3:.
. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is    .
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
小題4:.
In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to    .
A. blame children for getting lost in computer games                 
B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it   31   several obstacles in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (繞道).   32  one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some   33 
thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   34  it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was   35  by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in   36  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  37  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   38  on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant   39  reached its destination—a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   40  home. It was there that the ant met its   41  .How could that large feather possibly   42  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this   43  and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the   44  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   45  it began its journey and in the end the feather was   46  more than a burden. Isn’t our   47  like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the   48  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens—the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   49  that at the destination they are

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.
A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.
What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.
The insect moved round and round in one spot(地點(diǎn)). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.
By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.
As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.
And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.
Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.
I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
小題1:What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?

D．Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
小題2:According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are         .
