根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?  71  But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars.So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"

  72  Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood.Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.  73 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity.  74  Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.  75 Go and get a book!

A.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.

B.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C.Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

D.Now what are you waiting for?

E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.

G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

 

 C  E  A  G  D 【解析】  C 根据下文的But it never lets you know…说明我们的思维和我们的胃一样,我们的思维一直很忙碌,也一直很饥饿。思考着很多事情。  E 根据下一句:为什么是阅读而表示看电视?说明是阅读解决了我们的思维方面的饥渴问题。故E正确。  A 根据下一句:这棵种子被你们不自觉地使用来帮助发展我们的思维。说明A正确,因为A部分中提及了书本中的有趣的部分像种子一样被储存在我们的思维中。和下一句刚好连起来了。  G 根据上一句:正是创造性。说明是创造性在我们的词汇方面也有很大的作用。  D 根据上两句,说明在提出倡议,我们还在等什么呢?赶快拿起一本书,开始阅读吧!

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffel’s was chosen.

However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people — including many well-known writers and painters at that time — were fiercely against its design.

Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the world’s tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isn’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.

It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天线), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.

The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height.

Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.

1.The passage mainly tells us ________.  

A.the history of the Eiffel Tower

B.some information about its design

C.what the Eiffel Tower was used for

D.how it became one of the symbols of Paris

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?

A.Many people couldn’t accept the Eiffel Tower at the beginning.

B.It was the world’s tallest building for hundreds of years.

C.A journalist rode down from the Eiffel Tower in 1954.

D.The Eiffel Tower was saved because of its height.

3.The French Revolution took place in _______.

A.1889

B.1923

C.1789

D.1930

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values as well as the social environment it comes from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other .They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebrations, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

1.According to paragraph 1, students      .

A.regard music as a way of entertainment

B.disagree with their parents on education

C.view music as an overlooked subject

D.prefer the arts to science

2.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to      .

A.compare it with rock music

B.show music identifies a society

C.introduce American musical traditions

D.prove music influences people’s lifestyles

3.According to the passage, the arts and science        .

A.approach the world from different angles

B.explore different phenomena of the world

C.express people’s feeling in different ways

D.explain what it means to be human differently

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Music education deserves more attention.

B.Music should be of top education priority.

C.Music is an effective communication tool.

D.Music education makes students more imaginative.

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that       .

A.she uses English in foreign trade

B.she is fascinated by languages

C.she works as a translator

D.she is a writer by profession

2.The author used to think of her mother’s English as      .

A.impolite

B.amusing

C.imperfect

D.practical

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A.Americans do not understand broken English.

B.The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.

C.The author’s mother had positive influence on her.

D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.

B.The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.

C.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.

D.The author’s experiences of using broken English.
