As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical 1,but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school 2 I could concentrate more on my studies.
It's one of my biggest 3 to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today. During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would 4. However, I didn't keep my promise because I was 5 with my study. 6 I lost touch with my teacher. Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been 7 that I never returned. I haven't taken lessons since then but to be honest, I 8 to. Sitting at the piano, I couldn't help recalling many 9—times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher 10 me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so 11 that I could hardly say anything. But her 12 helped ease my shame. These memories, 13, good or bad, never caused my 14 for playing the piano again.
This thought then led me to think that 15 is like music, and that we all try to play different 16 in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is 17 when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own 18 style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is 19 that we sing the songs of joy, quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn't 20 that I've stopped making music.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有瘾的人),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me, so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(有褶皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes (便装) to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? “One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says Owen Black, the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (心境, 士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
(1)David thinks he was “a clothes addict” because .
A.he disliked cheap clothes
B.he always kept his suit neat
C.he often cleaned his office
D.he spent a little on clothes
(2)Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now?
A.He feels at ease.
B.He looks handsome.
C.He went to a new company.
D.He can't afford expensive suits.
(3)What can we learn from the text?
A.Casual clothes can impress others.
B.People fought for “Casual Friday”.
C.“Casual Friday” used to be popular.
D.“Casual Friday” was given as a prize.
(4)What is the advantage of casual office wear?
A.Making workers more easygoing.
B.Making workers more attractive.
C.Improving workers' ability.
D.Saving workers' money.
(5)Which does Owen Black probably agree to?
A.Comfortable clothes are cheap.
B.Nobody like conservative clothes.
C.Young people like casual clothes.
D.U.S. employers like casual office wear.

【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。 The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
(1)What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?
A.He got lost.
B.He broke his skis.
C.He hurt his eyes
D.He caught a cold.
(2)How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
A.He found a shelter.
B.He lighted some branches.
C.He kept on skiing.
D.He built a snow cave.
(3)On Tuesday, Nicholas ______.
A.returned to his shelter safely
B.was saved by a searcher
C.got stuck in the snow
D.stayed where he was
(4)Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ______.
A.did the right things in the dangerous situation
B.watched Grylls' TV program regularly
C.created some tips for survival
D.was very hard-working

【题目】根据短文内容的理解, 选择正确答案。 Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial (皇家的) family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
(1)What does "them" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.People with cancer or heart disease.
B.Millions of people with serious diseases.
C.Some diseases doctors can do nothing with.
D.The two illnesses of cancer and heart disease
(2)What can gene technology do according to paragraph three?
A.It can help the English imperial family out.
B.It can be used to clone human babies.
C.It can help people to give birth of a baby.
D.It is likely to treat hereditary diseases.
(3)What are people worried about according to the passage?
A.Human babies may be cloned in a large scale.
B.Healthy human babies will soon be cloned.
C.Scientists may well find the wrong genes.
D.The government may not control gene techs.
(4)This passage is mainly written to _________________.
A.show gene technology will benefit people
B.show gene technology will do harm as well
C.tell that gene technology is a hot topic
D.tell that gene technology is growing fast

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).
I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn't answer at first —– she couldn't hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.
Do you know how much hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin(机舱)
The lady wasn't even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady's seat; I wasn't impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.
The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldn't. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.
Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.
What a rush. “I found it!”
With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven't the words to express my thanks!”
(1)Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor?
A.She is a religious Buddhist nun.
B.She fell down from her seat.
C.She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.
D.She wanted to stand out among the passengers.
(2)What do we know about the old lady?
A.She ignored the author's question on purpose.
B.She is an American.
C.She lost her hearing aid by accident.
D.It was not difficult for her to get the hearing aid at all.
(3)Where was the hearing aid found?
A.On the previous flight.
B.Close to the old lady' seat.
C.On the wheelchair.
D.In another jet cabin.
(4)According to the last two paragraphs, what is the old lady's attitude towards the author?
A.Respectful
B.Doubtful
C.Supportive
D.Grateful

With the development of modern technology, there are a plenty of ways for us to contact people. WeChat is probably our favorite, mainly because of its convenient. We can keep in contact with friends whenever it is and wherever we are as long as Wi-Fi is available. Another advantage is it is a relative cheap and quick way of communication.
