3.In my opinion,classical music is a bit like mushrooms!You don't see the link?Let me explain.When I was younger,I didn't like mushrooms.They had a horrible texture(质地)and no taste at all,and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tired to hide them.But gradually,as I got older,my view changed.I started to enjoy mushrooms-flavoured things like soups and sauces,and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing(痛苦的表情).And now I even quite enjoy them!So my mum's prediction that I would"grow into them"was proved quite correct.
Similarly,I always thought of classical music as this boring genre(类型)that only boring grown-ups liked.Whenever my parents played it in the car,I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre:pop.But while at university,I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists---it had no lyrics to stop me concentrating on my study,and the pieces tended to be very long; perfect for long work sessions!
Recently,my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet.Admittedly,it was the dancing that originally attracted me,but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too.It was The Nutcracker,and I was surprised by just how much of music I recognized!The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,The Russian Dance,The Waltz of the Flowers-they all sounded familiar.I didn't know how I knew them,I just knew that I did!And I loved them.My parents would be proud.

32.Why did the author first hate eating mushrooms?B
A.The author's mother always cooked them
B.The mushrooms had terrible look and no taste
C.Some mushrooms had bad effects on health
D.Some mushrooms tasted terrible
33.How does the writer connect classical music with mushrooms?A
A.By comparison                 B.By the order of time
C.By telling facts                 D.By imagination
34.What did the author's parents think of classical music?B
A.Uninterested                   B.Favorite
C.Curious                       D.Bored
35.What's the best title of the passage?C
A.The Art and Life
B.The Change of Hobbies
C.Classical Music and Mushrooms!
D.Music or Mushrooms?

分析 小时候作者不喜欢蘑菇,也不喜欢古典音乐.随着长大并在父母影响下渐渐地喜欢上了古典音乐.

解答 BABC
32.B 细节题.根据They had a horrible texture(质地)and no taste at all可知,作者认为蘑菇质地很难看而且根本没有味道,所以他很讨厌蘑菇,故答案为B.
33.A 推理题.根据第一句话classical music is a bit like mushrooms!可知,古典音乐有点类似蘑菇,此处作者是用对比的方式来表达自己对古典音乐的态度,故答案为A.
34.B 情感态度题.根据Whenever my parents played it in the car可知,无论何时父母开车都会播放古典音乐,所以推出父母应该很喜欢古典音乐,故答案为B.
35.C 主旨大意题. 通过第一段和正文的介绍可知,作者从小不喜欢蘑菇和古典音乐,在父母的影响下,慢慢发现自己喜欢上了古典音乐,所以答案为C.

点评 本文题材为叙事类文学,考生在答题时抓住每段的第一句话,将问题带到文章来找答案,难度不大.

12.There is a serious problem to our earth.That's global warming.No doubt the tons of carbon dioxide being thrown up into the air are dangerously warming the earth.It is clear that average temperature has risen during the last century.Not everyone can believe that carbon dioxide is responsible.A new study shows us it is not all the fault of carbon dioxide.
Some scientists studied the sun and found that when the sun becomes more active,the earth warms up.When the sun quiets,as it did in the 1950s and 1960s,temperature takes a dip (下降).So some scientists said the sun's changeable moods may be more important than carbon dioxide in warming the earth.You might think that"global warming"means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature.But rising sea levels caused by it have affected our environment and living standard in many ways.
We can't change the sun's moods.So in order not to make the earth warming up,what we can do is to control the amount of giving off carbon dioxide.Studies have shown that humanrelated emissions (排放物) of carbon into the atmosphere is causing,and will in the future cause seriously global warming.Many countries have already made some laws to stop sending carbon dioxide into the air directly.As an ordinary person,we use fewer cars when we go out.We can ride a bike or walk.It is not only good for environment,but also good for our health.
Are you ready?It is the time that we do something for the global warming.Let us go for it.

21.What makes the earth become warmer and warmer?D
A.Carbon dioxide       
B.The sun       
C.The air         
D.A and B
22.The scientists also said that the sun's changeable moods may beCthan carbon dioxide in warming the earth.
A.more serious   
B.more difficult   
C.more important     
D.more terrible
23.What should we do in order not to make the global warming?A
A.We should control sending carbon dioxide into the air directly.
B.We should try to change the sun's changeable moods.
C.We should make some laws to prevent people from driving.
D.We should make the sun become more active.

13.In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas!You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket!You might even drive a flying car!
Not all past predictions(预言) have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card,the fax machine and even the internet years before they happened.But for each prediction that has come true,some others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology,or if people really needed it in their lives or not.Let's look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where's the robot in my kitchen?Nowhere,of course.And he's probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today,but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s,however,people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's homes.
So why hasn't it happened?Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy.And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow?
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet.
Why?The technology worked fine,but it overlooked something obvious:people's desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower?
Probably not---it could be uncomfortable!Just because technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
And finally,how about that crazy prediction of the flying car?It's not so crazy any more!But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to capture our imagination.Keep watching the news---or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.

12.The passage mainly deals withA.
A.predictions that haven't come true       
B.predictions that can catch out imagination
C.new technology that can benefit out life   
D.predictions that have come true
13.Which of the following is probably NOT the author's belief?C
A.Technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
B.Many of the high-tech things people thought we'd be using simply haven't appeared
C.Predictions don't need to consider people's practical use of the technology
D.High-tech things are not always convenient to people's life
14.Robot Helpers haven't been used in most people's home becauseB.
A.robots can only do jobs in factories.
B.the kind of robots won't bring people practical use.
C.people find it difficult to control the kind of robots.
D.the kind of robots hasn't been developed yet
15.What can we learn about video telephones from the passage?D
A.People haven't come up with the idea to invent video telephones
B.People find video telephones bring lots of convenience
C.Video telephones are well accepted by people at home
D.Video telephones haven't been popular at home.
