Take a look at a few in his list：The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan (1678)A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyans prose makes this an English classic.Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)By the end of the 19th century，no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist.Gullivers Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)A great work that has been repeatedly printed，Jonathan Swifts Gullivers Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)Clarissa is a tragic heroine，pressured by her dishonorable不光荣的 family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes，in the book that Samuel Johnson described as the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heartTom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well known since they have come to represent the society at that time.Emma by Jane Austen (1816)Jane Austens Emma is her most outstanding work，mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)Edgar Allan Poes only novela classic adventure story with supernatural elementshas fascinated and influenced generations of writers.21Which English book has got the most translations before the 20th century?ARobinson Crusoe. BGullivers Travels.CTom Jones. DEmma.22What does Samuel Johnson think we can learn about from the book Clarissa?AA love story BQuarrels in a family.CThe human heart. DThe spirits of the time.23What makes the characters in Tom Jones famous?ATheir classic lifestyles.BTheir different nationalities.CTheir typical spirits of the age.DTheir representation of the society.BCan you imagine a world without music？Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students' academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student's sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about drugs and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限)Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上), they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.32Education with music classes could _.Awaste a lot more money from parentsBhelp students improve their school workClead to a lot of emotional problems easilyDhave a bad influence on the quality of education33The two studies seem to show that _.Astudents with great success attended music lessonsBnot all students took part in music lessonsCmusic plays an important role in students' successDstudents having music classes are better in all lessons34The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that _.AJapan has a good international relationship with AmericaBdifferent cultures have different styles of musicCmusic makes cross-country communication possibleDJapanese and American students are good at playing the piano35What is the best title for the text?AMusic a bridge to understandingBHow to get music backCThe importance of listening to musicDMusic education in schoolsCI came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident，I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident ，my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had a good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, Id have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for timeand I left without getting a cent.28.

Statistics, however, show that language instruction in regular schools is actually decreasing, and relatively few Americans know a second language.Scholars have spent years studying why Americans seem to ignore the importance of learning languages. While they have developed theories and given potential solutions, the future of language learning in the United States remains hazy.Since 1997, the percentage of elementary and middle schools that offer foreign language courses has fallen significantly, from 31 percent to 25 percent at the elementary level and from 75 percent to 58 percent at the middle school level. However, the decline in elementary schools has appeared primarily in public schools, while the percentage of private elementary schools teaching foreign languages has remained roughly the same at 51 percent. The percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has remained at about 91 percent.Meanwhile, the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language to English-speaking children and young adults has actually increased. Since 1962, 367 two-way immersion programsschools that pair native English speakers with those who speak another native languagehave developed in 28 states. “The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition获得物 of a second language will be facilitated促进，帮助， Adel Safty wrote in the Canadian Journal of Education. Linguistic ability shows the greatest development between the ages of 4 and 8, she wrote.While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small, it has more than doubled over the past 30 years, according to a survey in April.People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language. The 5 to 17 age group follows closely. But, among those 41 and older, the percentage of people who speak a second language decreases.24.What does the passage mainly deal with?A. The situation of Americans learning foreign languages.B. Why Americans don't like learning foreign languages.C. The importance of learning foreign languages.D. Suggestions for learning foreign languages.25The underlined phrase “remains hazy in the second paragraph probably means “_A. is still unimportant B. continues to be uncertainC. has to be impossible D.is impolite26According to Adel Salty, _.A. people should begin to study foreign languages after age 8B. learners who have a friend to help them study a language betterC. age has a big effect on people's ability to learn a foreign languageD. people's linguistic ability grows with their age and experience27We can learn from the passage that _.A. the percentage of public elementary schools teaching foreign languages has increased since 1997B. the percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has decreased since 1997C. the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language has decreased since 1962D. the number of people who speak a language other than English at home has increased since 30 years ago第二节 共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following:Move More Make it a daily rule to find ways to move your body. 36 _ Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator(电梯).
