“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
56. Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.
A. students in the US weren’t interested in music B. they were too difficult to learn
36
C. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US D. the schools wanted to control budgets
57. In Paragraph 2,what does the underlined word“them” refer to(指代)?
A. Public schools. B. Fired teachers. C. Parents in Chicago. D. Students in Chicago.
58. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
D. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
59. How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
60. What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?
A. Music is as simple as it looks. B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.
C. Music is a big part of our lives. D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. 61 This means it’s not a working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
62 One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box. 63
One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. 64
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. 65
A. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
36
B. It was sealed up (密封) and kept on board until the ship came home safely.
C. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday.
D. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now.

6.【2017年安徽】阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Dear Sunday Globe,
I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette (礼仪).
The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive (灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.
Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning.
Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.
Yours truly,
Amber Jala

A. find a good job B. provide advice

81. According to Paragraph 3, what makes people around you uncomfortable?
A. Discussing face-to-face. B. Speaking quietly on your phone.
C. Minding your own business. D. Calling in small spaces full of people.
82. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.
B. It is easy to start a company with others.
C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

阅读下列短文，然后从每小题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep in on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（扫描）his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative（创新的）, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “48 It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for
36
teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
46. According to the passage, students can keep their homework on ______.
A. WeChat B. QQ C. email D. blog（博客）
47. Guo’s students think the new way is _______.
A. strange B. boring C. interesting D. Unnecessary
48. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to（指代）：
A. The paper is not easy to keep. B. Keeping and sharing the code easily.
C. Trying to use new technology in education. D. Education itself is a kind of creation.
49. Some parents are worried, because they think their children will _______.
A. talk with teachers face to face B. spend too much time on computers or phones
C. not like the new way of handing in homework D. find the QR codes too difficult to use
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?

13.【2017年山东泰安】阅读理解
Many years ago, a French naturalist, Comte de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics（批评家）did not like them.
Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders（奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if（好像）they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician（政治家）. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic（大西洋）.”
Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”
36
Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle（独立纪事报）used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”
This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.
53. Thomas Jefferson was NOT a ______.
A. naturalist B. historian C. politician D. musician
54. We can infer（推断）that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his ______.
A. anger B. excitement C. kindness D. responsibility
55. What can we know about the word “belittle” from the passage?
A. It has already disappeared from the English language.
B. It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary.
C. It is used to describe natural wonders now.
D. An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872.
56. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. How the word “belittle” came into being. B. The argument about natural wonders.
C. Every word has a long history behind. D. Noah Webster supported Jefferson’s idea.

14.【2017年山东枣庄】阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.
The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.
I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.
A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.
She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.
I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.
Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground. D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.
28. The boy acted differently from others because _______.
A. he was sick B. his parents didn’t like him
C. he was nervous and fearful D. he always lived with teachers
29. The underlined word “abandoned” most probably means “_______”.

Around the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks. Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.
The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.
Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.
▲ ? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.

The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each winner receives $500, 000 in prize money.
However, most marathon runners are not professional(专业的).They run to raise money for charities or just as a personal experience. Many people do fun things to make themselves stand out, like wear silly clothes or do things instead of just running.
For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the halfway point, as he was crawling on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for ‘The Gorilla Organization’.
One exciting part from this year’s race was the story of Jackie and her husband, who got married on the morning of the marathon. Then they both ran the race, with Jackie doing it in her wedding dress! They were running to raise money for cancer charities, as Jackie was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer three years ago.
Matthew Rees was another runner to inspire(激励)people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help another runner run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was too tired to finish the ra

Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with. Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.
To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.
She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores’ workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.
With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.
Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year.
“I love making relationships with the people I serve,” Fredette said. “The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it’s so cool.”
Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.
Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a “Dreamer & Doer” not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.

阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.
But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. “Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,” said Wang.
“They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.”
Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.
However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors’ rude behavior.
Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. “I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,” Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. “If too many strangers stay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it’s difficult for us to study quietly,” she said.
Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas. “We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,” said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.
Working together with the community library is another solution. “It’s possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,” Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. “We’ll send it to a public libraries close to their home.”
38. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .
A. hates to study in the library B. prefers sightseeing to reading
C. feels good to play with kids D. is a university student aged 21
39. In Chen Jie’s opinion, visitors to university libraries may .
A. take up too much space B. break the peace there
C. make teachers relaxed D. get students to read more
40. The writer mentions two libraries directors’ words to help explain how to .
A. manage libraries online B. keep the public polite
C. share university libraries D. do scientific research
41. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
36
A. A newspaper. B. A library guide. C. A story book. D. A notice board.
