These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But many aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones. Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be answered very quickly.Other people think the secret to those is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understand more than we do about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish (清漆). Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny(光亮的). It also helps the sound of the instrument. No one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish. 46． The passage is about        .     A． the old Italian violins B． musical instruments       C． scientific ideas  D． making violins47． Other people think the Italian violin makers        .     A． were lucky  B． did not know much about the violin      C． used many kinds of wood D． knew something special48． Violins made today _____.  A． have the same size and shape as the old ones B． are better than the old ones C． sound the same as the old ones  D． have the same varnish as the old ones49． Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violin was        . A． their color   B． their sound  C． their varnish  D． the music50． Why was the violin painted with the varnish?    A． To make the sound nice.           B． To make the appearance shiny.      C． To value the violin.  D． Both A and B．BDo you know the most unusual building of the 19th century? Perhaps it was the Crystal Palace. It was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The dance was performed by 20 disabled boys and girls. They couldn't hear or speak. But they used their bodies and hearts to dance. Their performance was remembered by many people. The head dancer of the dance was Tai LihuA．    Tai Lihua was from Yicheng, Hubei Province. She was born healthy. 83 When she was two years old, she lost her hearing because of a fever. Not long after that, she became mute, too. From then on, her world was silent. When she was seven years old, she went to school for deaf and mute children. In that school, she did well in her studies. Her teacher said she used her mind more than the others and was good at expressing her feelings through dance. She also began to love dance. She thought she could use dance to express what she thought about life.     When she was 15 years old, she began to learn to dance. Because she couldn't hear the music, she must "look at" the teacher and feel the music. She worked harder than the others. She also spent more time learning. Her efforts made her a very good dancer.     The dance Kwan-yin of 1000 Hands makes Tai Lihua and her team famous. But she is still quiet. She says, "Love is our common language. 84 I will show my love by dancing, like a sunflower（葵花）smiling at the sun forever."（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。81． When did Tai Lihua begin to live in a silent world?                                                                      82． Why couldn't Tai Lihua dance well at first?                                                                      （二）将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。83．                                                                 84．                                                                 （三）请给短文拟一个适当的标题。85．                                                                 九、完成句子（共8小题，计10分）根据汉语意思用英语完成句子，将答案写在横线上。   86．我已经习惯面对困难。I have                 to facing difficulties. 87．当我找到他时，他正躺在沙滩上看书。When I found him, he                on the beach        .88．我们应当学会如何礼貌地提出要求。   We need to learn how to be polite when we                 .89．晚上你不应该一个人闲荡。   You shouldn’t                      at night. 90．你可以用这种方法解决这些问题。   You can solve the problems                      .91．关于这件事你不应该告诉她。   You are                      tell her about it.92．如果我是你，我就不会问那样的问题。                                                                       92．你知道亨利要在这儿呆多长时间吗？                                                                  十、书面表达（共1题，计15分）94． Maria 是你的室友, 她的家人下星期天邀请你到他们家参加感恩节宴会，你接受了邀请但又有些担心：我们国家的社交习惯 (social customs) 和他们的不一样，恐怕出错；要不要带礼物？准时到还是稍晚一点？怎样使用刀叉？如何表达感谢？请你以王琴的名义将上述问题用书信的形式向好友Etty求教，词数80左右。信的开头部分以给出。Dear Etty Kit,     Maria is my roommate.

It’s very interesting. By watching TV they can see and learn a lot and know many things about their country and the world. Of course, they can also learn over the radio. But they can learn better and more easily with TV. Why? Because they can hear and watch at the same time. But they can’t see anything over the radio. TV helps to open children’s eyes. TV helps to open their minds, too. They learn newer and better ways of doing things. They find the world is now smaller than before.Many children watch TV only on Saturday or Sunday evening. They are always busy with their lessons. But a few children watch TV every night. They go to bed very late. They can’t have a good rest. How about you, my young friend?
