They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.‎ The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”‎ Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me .‎ Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be a help to me . And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.‎ Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.‎ ‎41.When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that .‎ A.he had found a good job ‎ B.he would have something to eat ‎ C.he would no longer suffer from the Depression D.he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect ‎ ‎42.The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .‎ A.he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge ‎ B.he had been needing to get it moved ‎ C.he wanted to help them in his own way ‎ D.he wanted to show them his kindness and respect ‎ ‎43.The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but .‎ A.kind B.thoughtful C.wealthy D.sympathetic ‎ ‎44.The best title for the story would be .‎ A.The Depression B.The Pleasure of Helping Others ‎ C.No Pains , No Gains D.Work-A Part of Living ‎ B My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me . I decided to use it the very day and I washed a lot of things .‎ Everything worked well , but I found one of my husband’s socks(短袜) missing . I looked everywhere for it , but I couldn’t find it anywhere .‎ The next morning , I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang , the students came in . I greeted them and told them what we were going to do that day .‎ When I turned around to write on the blackboard , the class burst into a roar (大笑声)! They laughed and laughed . They laughed so much , in fact ,that I was afraid the headmaster would come in to see all this .‎ I asked the class to stop , but the more I talked , the more they laughed . I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard . when I did this , they roared even more .‎ Finally , the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about .‎ ‎“Good heavens ,” I said , “Will someone please tell me what is so funny?” ‎ ‎“Oh , God,” said the teacher , “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt !”‎ So that’s how I found my husband’s missing sock .‎ ‎“Oh , well ,” I said to the class , “That’s what we are going to learn- static electricity(静电)。”‎ ‎45.What was the writer ?‎ ‎ A A teacher B.A washer C.

She did nothing D. She explained the matter in a clever way . ‎ ‎49.which subject did writer teach?‎ ‎ A. music B.math C.physics D.English C One morning, I stepped out of bed and put my feet on the floor. Suddenly, a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺，扎) an ice pick (碎冰锥) through my left foot.‎ Figuratively (比喻地) speaking, yes.‎ I took another step and he stabbed it again. This went on all day. Step, stab, scream. Over the next few days, I started limping (跛行). My whole body hurt. Even my hair. I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else. We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.‎ My brother deals with pain every day. He’s also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (脑瘫), needs a walker to walk, doesn’t take much for granted. I had to wonder: What would he think about my foot?‎ Finally, after a week of pain, I went to see a very nice foot doctor. The doctor studied my foot, took X-rays, shook his head, and said the little man’s name: Arthur Itis, or Arthritis (关节炎).‎ I knew it well. I’d often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents, all attacked by Arthur’s ice pick when they got older.‎ ‎“Wait,” I said. “Doesn’t Arthur usually just pick on old people?”‎ The doctor smiled, looking at my chart. “How old are you?”‎ I gave him a look. “Never mind,” I said. “Can you fix it?”‎ ‎“Well,” he said, “we can try.”‎ He listed several options and I chose the injection (打针). It didn’t hurt much. Not half as much as the ice pick.‎ That was yesterday. This morning, I awoke, took a few careful steps and … hallelujah! It hurt just a bit, but no ice pick. I looked under the bed. No sign of Arthur. Maybe he was hiding in the closet, waiting for another day. But for now, he was gone, and I was grateful. My mind began to race with plans to do all the things I’d been putting off for days: unpack, clean the house, wash my hair …‎ Then it hit me. Another stab. Not in my foot. In my heart. I remembered that I hadn’t called my brother in a long time.‎ It’s easy to take some things for granted. But it should never be the people we love.‎ ‎50.Why didn’t the author go to see the doctor for the first week?‎ A. Because she was afraid that her brother would laugh at her.‎ B. Because she thought it was too cold to step out of her room.‎ C. Because she expected that the pain would gradually disappear.‎ D. Because she believed that she could endure the pain like her brother did.‎ ‎51. Who had a disease that was different from the other people mentioned?‎ A. The author. B. The author’s brother. ‎ C. The author’s parents. D. The author’s grandparents.‎ ‎52.

Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. __57__ ‎ 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 came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. __58__ ‎ Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. __59__ 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 the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. They 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. ‎ ‎__60__ ‎ A. It gives us identity as a society.‎ B. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.‎ C. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other.‎ D. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human.‎ E. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. ‎ F. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.‎ 四、英语知识运用。（每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ April begins with a day of fun and jokes-- April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, classmates tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs, and teachers hand out impossibly difficult surprise tests that scare students before they __61__ it’s only a joke. __62__ media we have always trusted makes fun _63__ us. Let’s take a look at two of the hilarious (滑稽的) tricks that __64__ (play), and have a laugh!‎ Edison’s Magic Machine: After Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) in 1877, there seemed to be nothing __65__ (stop) him from saving the whole world. And that’s __66__ (exact) what the New York Graphic newspaper claimed (声明) on April 1, 1878, when it announced that the genius (天才) __67__ (invent) a machine that could convert (转变) soil directly into cereal, and water into wine.‎ Swiss spaghetti: On April 1, 1957, the BBC decided to play a trick on its __68__ with a story on the Swiss spaghetti crop that was having a great year. __69__ (show) farmers picking the pasta from trees, the BBC also advised viewers on __70__ to grow their own spaghetti garden.‎ 五、 短文改错。 (共10小题； 每小题1分， 满分10 分) ‎ 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。‎ Dear Jack,‎ ‎ I’m very happy to know the news you are planning to visit to my city.
