Growing up can be a real "pain" for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped; sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realise that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!    When I was a young girl, my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that we never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realise that my parents and teachers were always pushing me ahead, not because they wanted me to suffer, but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They always want me to have a better life thiin they do.    Every moment in our lives is either living or dying, so live life to its fullest! We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and lived a life like that. The future is ours!    A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realise that these pains are just small bumps(凸块) on our road to success, we will realise that our growing pains are actually growing gains!1.According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we were young, _.A.life was full of joyB.life was easy for usC.we knew we can stay young foreverD.we sometimes can't do things we like2.What does the underlined phrase "to its fullest" mean?A.Directly.B.Completely.C.Carefully.D.Terribly.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.B.We don't have to experience growing pains.C.A little hard work and sweat is harmful to us.D.Life without fear is a better choice for us.BSome of the worlds most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational. Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U. S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture."Jazz seems like its not really a part of the American appetite." Moran tells National Public Radios reporter Neal Conan. "What Im hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's actually color, and it's, actually digital."Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. "The music cant be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same," says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Wallers music for a dance party. "Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music." says Moran. "For me, its the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion (情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight (感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context." says Moran. "so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster."1.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A.To remember the birth of jazz.B.To protect cultural diversity.C.To encourage people to study music.D.To recognize the value of jazz.2.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.The production of jazz growing faster.C.Jazz being less popular with the young.D.The jazz audience becoming larger.3.What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz?A.It will disappear gradually.B.It remains black and white.C.It should keep up with the times.D.It changes every 50 years.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Exploring the Future of Jazz.B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz.C.The Story of a Jazz Musician.D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.CSome of the worlds most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.

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 maths 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 programmes in public schools also help to add to a students sense of pride and self-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and other. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse found that students who took part in school music programmes were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programmes 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.1.What can we learn about education with music classes?A.It allows schools to make more profits.B.It leads to a lot of emotional problems easily.C.It helps students to improve their schoolwork.D.It has a great influence on the culture of the country.2.What do the two studies seem to show?A.Not all students take part in music lessons.B.Students with great success like to attend music lessons.C.Music plays an important role in students' success.D.Students having music classes are better in all lessons.3.The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that _.A.different cultures have different styles of musicB.music makes cross-country communication possibleC.Japan has a good international relationship with AmericaD.Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano4.What is the best title for the text?A.How to Get Music BackB.Music Education in SchoolsC.Musica Bridge to UnderstandingD.The Importance of Listening to Music第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。    Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.    _ We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.    "I adore dancing," says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. "I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. "Teaching dance is wonderful.    _ It's great to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a social life.    _ "I can tell you about one young couple," says Bridges. "They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. _"    So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer and healthier? Andrea Hillier says, "Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. _ I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I'm alive."A.So why do we dance?B.Dance in the US is everywhere.C.If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.D.My older students say it makes them feel young.E.I keep practising even when I'm extremely tired.F.Dancing seems to change their feelings completely.G.They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。    When Julie got back home from school that afternoon, she noticed a pigeon sitting very closely to the front door of her     1    .
