It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock’ n’ roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to control musical stage productions. It’s a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world. 1. All of the following forms belong to pop music EXCEPT __________________. A. blues B. rock’ n ’roll C. jazz D. folk-rock 2. According to the article, the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was ___________ it is today.

Pop music began in America. B. Pop music is loved mainly by young people. C. Pop music will be less popular. D. People are interested in pop music. B During the 20 th century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the 19 th century probably has been in her middle 20’s and would be likely to have seven or eight children. By the time the youngest was 15, the mother would have been in her early 50’s and would expect to live a further 20 years, during which chance and health made it hard for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be 15 when she is 45 and she can be expected to live another 35years and is likely to get paid work until 60. This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when they married they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is 16, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more return to work later. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties of family life. 6. We learn from this passage that in the 19 th century_____ . A. there were more children in the world than there are today B. women spent a greater part of their lives raising children than they do today C. there were more women in poor health than there are today D. women married younger than they do today 7. One reason why a married woman of today may take a job is that ____. A. she is usually younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves B. she is obliged to help her husband support the family C. she feels lonely at home when her children grow up 3 D. she hopes to change the world a bit by doing up 8. Many girls are now likely to ____. A. give up their jobs after they get married B. leave school as soon as they can C. marry early so that they can get better jobs D. continue working until they are going to have a baby 9. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ____ . A. stay at home after leaving school B. find jobs when they reach the age of 16 C. start working again later in life D. marry and have children while still at school 10. Now a husband probably ____ . A. plays a greater part in looking after the children B. does almost all of the housework C. feels unhappy about his wife’s going out to work D. takes a part-time job so as to help at home C Hilton English Language Center Information for New Students CLASS TIME: 8:30a.m.—10:00a.m., 10:30a.m.—12:00a.m., 1:30p.m.—3:00p.m..

This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification. 21. ______ 6 When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had. Just imagine: you arc at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run bock and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of succcss. 22. ______ The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modem nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner. If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for nil the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple; refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life. 23. ______ “I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break. Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you arc under more stress than you can cope with. These signals came from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases. If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say quite openly, "I can't manage that. " 24. ______. "If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be happier. " This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy. Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life. Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road. But life doesn't consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes. 25. ______ Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it's the train. When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the 7 person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles). A. Escape Now and Then B. Slow Down Your Life C. Separate Your Actions D. Allow Yourself to Be Weak E. Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying " No" F. Imagine you are the best. G. Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect 第二部分 完形填空（共 20小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 30分） My car and my best friend For most, getting your first car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want.

Our car trips became less frequent (频繁的) 44 I didn’t even drive down her street. It’s funny how a car can change a relationship so much. I had wanted her to get a car, but once she did, I 45 it.

Smoking bans can be seen in public places in many countries. Our class had a heated discussion on banning smoking in public places. Opinions fall into two. Some students agree that smoking is dangerous, Not only does smoking harm smokers themselves but also harm the people around them. Bans in public places would also urge smokers to smoke less or give it up. However, Others hold an opposite view. They believe that it’s legal to smoke and smokers should have the freedom and right to smoke in any place they like. Besides, bans on smoking in public places would drive many bars, pubs or clubs out of business. What’s worse, many people will be out of job because of this.
