However, the little boy-who did not yet know the alphabet(字母) and could only just count to ten--had never used one before. Little Aaron managed to call his grandmother when his mother had a diabetic seizure (糖尿病发作). That evening, Mrs. Green had just returned home and was attacked to fall down. Aaron found her the next morning lying on the floor, and was unable to wake her up. The little boy reached for his mother's phone. It's thought that he knew what to do with the phone by watching his mother use it. He managed to find his grandmother in the address book, and called her to say“Mummy's sick. She's very ill. Please come and help Her.” His grandmother then immediately called Mrs Green’s best friend, Kara McCoy, who lived on the same street. Kara ran to the house and found Mrs Green completely unresponsive. Right away, she phoned 999 and an ambulance Crew rushed to her aid. Six doctors spent two hours trying to bring Mrs Green back to life before she was taken to hospital. Five days later, she awoke with no memory of what had happened. She was later told she would probably have died if it had not been for Aaron's brave actions. Mrs Green said, “If it wasn't for Aaron, I wouldn't be here now. It feels like I must have been watched over by an angel, who was guiding him through what to do. I owe him everything--he deserves the world. I want everyone to know what a Superman he is."

Server. D There is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon (现 象)now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music. Many singers or bands know little about what good music means. What is the cause of this rise? Most of these singers have taken music as a "job” because it is a good way of making money. And if you have a good appearance and also original or expensive clothes to show off (炫耀) at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be. The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy. They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level. Therefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with music.They choose to wear very few clothes to catch attention,but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess (-团 糟) and one doesn't need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent. But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another. It is the public's fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music. People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to good old bands. However, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice. It is very necessary to be able to sing well when preparing a concert and all these bands that have little to do with good music are failures on stage. If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help him improve singing abilities. 12. The passage shows that many singers consider music as_______ A.an art serving the public, B. a good way of making money C. a way of living fully D. a fashionable lifestyle 13.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The public have an ear for good music. B. The audience prefer good music to the appearance of singers. C. The public are to blame for the popularity of commercial music. D. Most people like listening to old good bands. 14．From the passage we can learn that______________ A. appearance is the most important thing in the world of music B. all people who have received training in singing can become famous C. adults should help young people improve their abilities D. a singer's talent and voice are the most important Factors 15. What do you think is the author's attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands? A. Critical(批判的). B. Supportive. C. Tolerant(容忍的). D. Worried. 二、完形填空（共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分；共计 30 分） 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给选项中选出可以填在空白处的最佳选项。 When his daughter was born, she was very sick.
