Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years. Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my 11 was more manageable, I 12 ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. 13 that was years ago and times have changed. 14 I live with mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension(残疾抚恤金). As I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my 15 . I decided that I would consider going back to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was 16 when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of 17 to get started. And 18 you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can 19 use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my 20 , he gave me a long thoughtful 21 . ―This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?‖ he said. ―Come with me.‖
He led me 22 the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand 23 on his treasure and said, ―I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your 24
and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.‖
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose the ones that I could sing. I have come back to music with his help.
His 25 still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

A
While popular in the US, the April Fool’s Day tradition is more popular in European countries, such as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the tradition are unclear, the French and the British both have their own stories about the origin of the celebration.
One story holds that the first April Fool’s Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar. This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. At first, many people were not used to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they became the first April Fools. Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the new year on April 1.
An English story about the day, however, says that it began sometime during the 1200s. At the time, King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along. The people of one particular farm village knew this. To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures (牧场) disturbed by one of the king’s roads, they built a fence to stop the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers（使者）to tell the villagers that they must take the fence away. Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the king’s messengers arrived, they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad. The people just threw things and ran around wildly. The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them. So, the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king. In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool’s tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves. 41. From this passage, we know that . A. the king of France became the first April fool B. King John often walked on the farm
C. the villagers built a fence to stop King John from walking through their countryside
D. the villagers didn’t save their farmland by tricking King John 42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. An English story about the April Fool’s Day says it began in the 1200s. B. The king of France introduced the new calendar. C. Few people of France were not used to the new calendar. D. The roots of the tradition are unclear.
43. The author mentions all the following EXCEPT that . A. the April Fool’s Day tradition in the US is less popular than in the European countries
B. the French and the Americans both have their own stories about the April Fool’s Day
C. the new calendar system made the former new year’s day April 1 D. in Britain, tradition only allows April Fool’s tricks from midnight to noon on April 1
44. We can infer from the passage that .
A. all the European countries have their own stories about the origin of the April Fool’s Day
B. stories about the roots of the April Fool’s Day are not the same C. the April Fool’s Day in France is more popular than that in Great Britain D. in Great Britain those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become fools 45. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. How to celebrate the April Fool’s Day. B. The king and the April Fool’s Day.
C. Something about the origin of the April Fool’s Day. D. Something about a new calendar.
B
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to
Understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, ―This is Mrs. Tan..‖
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, ―Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.‖

And then , in perfect English I said : ―I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.‖
Then she talked more loudly. ―What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.‖ And so I turned to the stockbroker again, ―I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.‖
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
46.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?
A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often misunderstood. C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite. A. good a pretending B. rude to the stockbroker
C. ready to help her mother D. unwilling to phone for her mother A. they forgave the stockbroker B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately D. they spoke to their boss at once A. It confuses her. B. It embarrasses her.
C. It helps her understand the world. D. It helps her tolerate rude people. A. is clear and natural to non-native speakers B. is vivid and direct to non-native speakers C. has a very bad reputation in America
49.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?
D. may bring inconvenience in America C
My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.
It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More importantly, I earned my pay, it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.
I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person could have.
When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not ? I made my first golf club out of guava limb (番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field --- except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.

Governments all over the world make public reports about the condition of their economies. Most countries, including the United States, have used a measure called the gross national product (国民生产总值)or GNP. It includes all goods and services produced by citizens of the country anywhere in the world.
Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new method to measure production. It is known as the gross domestic product（国内生产总值） or GDP. It counts only goods and services that have been produced within the nation’s
borders. Money earned by foreign companies operating in the United States is included in the GDP, but money earned by American companies operating in other countries is not.
Economic experts generally approve of the change. They say that the gross domestic product provides a truer measure of the economy. They also note that most economies of different countries. Some officials also hope the new system will help them make better economic policy decisions. It will provide them with a clearer understanding of economic activity in the U.S. . The new measure is less likely to be affected by sudden changes in foreign oil prices or in the value of the American dollar in other countries.
Economic experts believe that the change from GNP to GDP will immediately reduce the value of American production by at least 40,000 million dollars a year. But that is really a very small change in the American economy – less than 1% . The Commerce Department reports the unofficial gross domestic product once every three months. The government also continues to report GNP as it has four times a year since 1941.
56. To report the American GNP, the government should not consider goods and services produced ________.
A. by American companies at home B. by American companies in China C. by American companies in Singapore D. by Japanese companies in the United States
57. To report the American GDP, the Commerce Department should count money earned ________.
A. by both American and foreign companies in America B. by American companies within its own borders C. by foreign companies in the United States D. by American companies in its foreign markets
58. GDP is considered better than GNP by some economists because ________.
52. The underlined word ―tedious‖ in Paragraph 2 most probably means _________. other industrial countries use this method. Therefore it will be easier to study the
第 5 页 共 7 页
A. it is something new B. it is used by most countries C. it is easier to calculate
D. it is less likely to be affected by the foreign market
59. What will happen to the value of American economy if GDP is used to replace GNP?
A. It will be seriously affected. B. It will not be affected. C. It will come down a little. D. It will slightly go up. 60. How often are the reports of GDP issued by the American Commerce Department?
A. once every four months B. once every three months C. once every six months D. once a year 第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
