In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip(点滴)above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald(秃的)head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes. Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said. Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱)birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song. That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”. The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling(蜷缩)in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It. “My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.” Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour. 【1】What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project? A.It helps young patients record songs. B.It is intended to kill time for patients. C.It aims to replace the medical treatment. D.It offers patients chances to realize their dreams. 【2】What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest? A.Most children are naturally fond of music. B.The project has a positive effect on young patients. C.He was brave enough to put up performance. D.Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses. 【3】What is probably the best title for the passage? A.Purple Songs Can Fly B.Singing Can Improve Health C.A Shining Moment in Life D.A Kind Woman—Anita Kruse |

Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing lapses(差错)in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random(随机的). One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People program themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed(颠倒的)in the program,” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “program assembly failures”. Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing—an average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours sometime between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. “Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain ‘programs’ occurs, as for instance between going to and from work.” Women on average reported slightly more lapses—12.5 compared with 10.9 for men—maybe because they were more reliable reporters. An astonishing finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a risk of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse—even dangerous. 【1】Professor Smith discovered that . A.certain patterns can be identified in the recorded incidents B.many people were too embarrassed to admit their absent-mindedness C.men tend to be more absent-minded than women D.absent-mindedness is an excusable human weakness 【2】The underlined part "Program assembly failures" in Para. 2 refers to the phenomenon that people . A.often fail to program their daily practices beforehand B.tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry C.change the order of doing things unconsciously D.are likely to mess things up if they are too tired 【3】It can be concluded from the passage that . A.Absent-mindedness can be cured by skill training B.risks can be avoided when people do things they are good at C.people should be careful when programming their actions D.more concentration on work to avoid lapses may not work |

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased(过世的)woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.” You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen. 【1】What is said about the two deceased elderly women? A.They lived out a natural life. B.They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. C.They weren’t used to the change in weather. D.They died due to lack of care by family members. 【2】The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because . A.he wanted to comfort the two families B.he was an official from the community C.he had great pity for the deceased D.he was minister of the local church 【3】People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because . A.they found the funerals unsatisfactory B.they believed that they were responsible C.they had ignored the natural course of events D.they didn’t know things often turn in the opposite direction 【4】People have been made to believe since babyhood that . A.everybody should try to meet others’ needs B.life and death is an unsolved mystery C.every story should have a happy ending D.their wishes are the cause of everything that happens |

Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea annually. That's around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society.【1】The fast majority of tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture? 【2】At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society. At the beginning of the 1700s，the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time.【3】They soon discovered that it makes really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic. In the 1800s Tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money.【4】This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m. to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today, but has become less popular in recent times. In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms---shops where you could buy and drink tea ---started to appear across the country.【5】At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles became essential in every kitchen. A. At this time, they begin to have afternoon tea. B. People in lower classes could not afford it. C. Let’s have a look at its history. D. People enjoy drinking tea and socializing in these places. E. But tea does not grow in Britain. F. Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. G. At first, people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. |

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。 Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams. And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25. The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece（杰作）. The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride！ The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone！We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman’s once-proud carrot nose lay limp（无力的）and half-eaten. What had happened？We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn’t have anything take away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him. The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn（草坪）. For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we’d return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again. By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket （水桶）from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning. it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base （底座）of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again The trap was set, and we wailed for the snowman bullies（破坏者） to come 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语 3写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1 On Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 Seeing their pained look, we couldn’t help laughing ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
