段落大意:本文是一篇记叙文,文章介绍的是16岁的女孩琳达不幸身患癌症,开始变得意志消沉。她的妈妈去花店给她订了一些鲜花。鲜花店老板送给琳达一张卡片,上面写着自己也曾在15岁时被诊断患了癌症,现在已经24岁了,积极面对生活开了这家花店。琳达看后开始对生活充满希望。 小题1:由第一段最后一句“Her mother took her to a hospital and the doctors found out that she had cancer .”得知:她妈妈带她去医院检查,医生诊断她身患癌症。所以得出结论:她得了重病才感觉不舒服。故A。 小题2:由上下文得知:琳达被诊断得了癌症后,她的生活改变了,她开始经常去医院接受治疗,虽然医院和医生都是一流的,但是琳达仍然对生活失去信心。不难判断得出:该词意思为:情绪低落的,消沉的,忧伤的,悲痛的,故C 。 小题3:由第三、第四段得知:琳达的妈妈去花店给她订了一些鲜花。送来的鲜花旁边有一个卡片, 卡片上写着:“I own this flower shop . ”,得出结论:是鲜花店老板送给琳达的这张卡片。故C 。 小题4:由原文倒数第三行“Linda smiled . She finally felt some real hope . She found the will to live.”得知:她微笑了,,她找到了活下去的勇气。她变得对生活充满希望。故A 。 小题5:通读全文来看,正是花店老板的一张卡片,唤起了身患癌症的小琳达对生活的信心和勇气,由原文最后一段得知:小事情会产生大效果,我们应该给别人诸如善意、勇气和希望等小东西给他人。故B |

Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies? If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or on the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly. To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour. The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not. Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say. Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestor’s need to run on wet ground. But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch. 小题1:What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?A.Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water. | B.Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly. | C.Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled. | D.Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly. | 小题2:The test shows that ________.A.winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do. | B.dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do. | C.winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do. | D.dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do. | 小题3:What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?A.They are too sensitive to be touched. | B.They might be more likely to get hurt. | C.They cannot hold things tightly enough. | D.They are not so sensitive as dry fingers. |

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容在在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。每空一词。 How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students. Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all. Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does. So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize. Title: Music education is of 小题1:
