5、To Ask or Not to Ask, That Is the Question! A Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.” This joke is frequently directed against members of the teaching profession. It's not a very kind comment — but jokes are seldom friendly! It's probably not intended to be interpreted literally, however; the speaker is, very likely, making a rather tongue-in-cheek comment about the profession, in much the same way that cutting comments are often made about bank managers, lawyers, car salesmen and other professions. B At least, such jokes are fairly commonplace in many countries of the English-speaking world; we teachers are fair game in the eyes of the general public. We’re fair game too, very often, in the eyes of our students when we teach in schools, colleges, or universities in the UK, US, and other countries. Students and schoolchildren often behave very disrespectfully towards their teachers in secondary schools; there are unfortunately some instances where this disrespect escalates into verbal abuse or even, in extreme cases, physical violence. What can make his situation even more difficult is when parents do not correct the behaviour of their offspring towards the teachers. ________ In Western countries it is not uncommon for students to show a lack of respect or even act rudely towards teachers.

11、Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's big difference between "bening a wirter" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours along at a typewiriter. "You've got to want to write"， I say to them, "not want to be a writer." The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test ― even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. The passage is meant to ________.
A、warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C、show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D、encourage young people to pursue a writing career

12、What can be concluded from the passage ?
A、Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for a writer to become successful are small.

13、Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A、He wasn’t able to produce a single book.
B、He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole years.
D、He found his dream would never come true.

14、“…people who die wondering, What if?” (Para 3) refers to “ those ________________”.
A、who think too much of the dark side of life
B、who regret giving up their career halfway
C、who think a lot without making a decision
D、who are full of imagination even upon death

15、“ Shadow land” in the last sentence refers to ___________________ .
A、the wonderland one often dreams about
B、the bright future that one is looking forward to
C、the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D、a world that exists only in one’s imagination

16、Neil Armstrong was the flight's commander. He was a test pilot. And he had flown in space before on one of the two-person Gemini flights. Armstrong was a calm person, a man who talked very little. Edwin Buzz Aldrin was the pilot of the moon lander spacecraft, named Eagle. He also had flown on a Gemini flight. And he also was a quiet man except when he talked about space. Michael Collins was the pilot of the command spacecraft, Columbia. He would wait in orbit around the moon while Armstrong and Aldrin landed and explored the surface. Collins, too, had flown in space before. He was popular and always ready with a smile. Halfway to the moon, the astronauts broadcast a television program to Earth. The broadcast showed how astronauts move and work in the weightlessness of space. The broadcast also showed the Earth behind Apollo-11. And it showed the moon growing larger in the blackness ahead. The days passed. The pull of the moon’s gravity grew stronger. As Apollo-11 neared the moon, it was moving at 6,500 kilometers an hour. The astronauts fired rockets to slow the spacecraft enough to put it into moon orbit. Apollo-11 circled the moon while the crew prepared for the landing. Finally it was time to separate the lander spacecraft, Eagle, from the command spacecraft, Columbia. Armstrong and Aldrin moved through the small opening between the two spacecraft. Then they moved Eagle away from Columbia. As Armstrong reported, “The Eagle has wings.” Humans were about to land on the moon. On Earth, all activity seemed to stop. President Richard Nixon gave federal government workers the day off to watch the moon landing on television. Most state and local governments and businesses also declared the day a holiday. Around the world, 500-million persons watched the television report. Millions more listened to their radios. Armstrong and Aldrin fired the lander’s rocket engine. This slowed the spacecraft and sent it down toward the landing place, an area known as the moon's Sea of Tranquility. A computer guided Eagle toward the airless surface of the moon. Then 140 meters from the surface, the astronauts took control themselves. Here on Earth, we listened to the voices of Aldrin and Armstrong — their short messages and commands — as they flew Eagle away from a dangerous rocky area and then, gently, down to Tranquility Base: “Forward. Forward. Good. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Which of the following cannot be inferred from the first paragraph ?
A、Aldrin had a strong love for his work as an astronaut.
B、Michael Collins was extrovert.
C、Armstrong and Aldrin were both introvert.
D、Aldrin had flown in space with two other astronauts before.

17、These astronauts had to _______ before they landed on the moon.
A、make the spaceship move slowly
B、make the spacecraft circle the earth
C、move Eagle away from Columbus
D、move through the small opening between the two spacecraft

18、How did Armstrong slow the spaceship?
A、By firing the lander’s rocket engine.
B、By starting the ship's engine.
C、By separating Eagle from Columbia.
D、By opening the opening between the spaceships.

19、All of the following events happened on earth on the day of landing, EXCEPT _________.
A、millions more listened to their radios

21、In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting. One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghananian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?” Taxi drivers were uniformly(一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.” One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed(塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb(一流的) assistance I received. “Is anyone following us?" “No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me. “Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000." “$25,000?” he asked. “Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?” “No, man. I work 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.” As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank. “Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?” “No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with money -- taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.
A、he was not caring about the killing
B、he was frightened to hear what the writer said
C、he thought the writer was a criminal
D、he thought the writer was crazy

22、Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride ?
A、He didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.
B、He was in a hurry to go home and relax.
C、The place was far away.
D、He thought the writer was going to kill himself.

23、What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “ to wait outside the Chemical Bank”
A、The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.
B、The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
C、The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.
D、The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.

24、Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?
A、They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B、They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
C、They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
D、They work only for money.

36、City of Music A Vienna can justifiably claim to be the music capital of the world. There have been more famous composers living and working in Vienna than in any other city in the world. A visit to Vienna today enables the visitor to enjoy a profusion of musical experiences, from classical music to a vibrant jazz and rock scene. You could take in a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, often described as the best orchestra in the world, listen to the sweet sounds of the Vienna Boys’ Choir, or follow in the footsteps of some of the great composers who lived in the city by joining a guided walking tour that includes houses and apartments occupied at one time by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Liszt, and Strauss. In Vienna, music is all around you. B Vienna, the capital of Austria, is situated on the mighty Danube River in central Europe. Because of its strategic location, Vienna has been a hub for trade and commerce, as well as being fought over by warring groups, for centuries. In 1278, Rudolf I took control of the city for the Habsburgs and that family went on to rule Vienna for over 600 years. Gradually, the Habsburg power and fortunes grew and by 1438, when Albrecht V was elected Holy Roman Emperor, they had become the foremost dynasty in Europe. Under Maximilian I, Vienna turned itself into a centre for the arts, and he founded the Vienna Boys’ Choir and acted as patron for painters, sculptors, and architects, as well as musicians. However, external threats continued to plague Vienna until 1683, when the Ottoman Turk armed forces were finally defeated at the gates of the city. During the 18th century many of the important buildings that we can still see today were constructed including the Belvedere Palaces and the vast summer palace of Sch?nbrunn, built in 1744–49 for the Empress Maria Theresa. C It was during the long and peaceful reign of Maria Theresa that Vienna developed into the musical capital of Europe. The ruling Habsburg family and the nobility provided money and patronage for composers and musicians to come to Vienna to work. The vast empire of the Habsburgs included Spain, Burgundy (now part of France), the Netherlands, Hungary, and Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). People from all over this empire came to Vienna bringing with them a rich variety of musical styles and thus the city became a melting pot of European races and cultures. D Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714–87) was court kapellmeister (person in charge of the court orchestra) to Maria Theresa from 1759 to 1770. It was a highly musical court with many members of the imperial family composing music or playing instruments. Gluck developed a new style of opera in which there was a balance between the music and the drama, so that the drama is an integral part of the total experience not merely illustrating the music. His operas, including his masterpiece, Iphigenia in Tauris, are still performed today. E If Gluck was the doyen of Viennese musicians, the greatest genius to appear before the court was the child prodigy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who first performed for the Empress at the age of 6 in 1762, and amazed everyone with his sublime technique and virtuosity. Mozart was a native of Salzburg in the west of Austria, but returned to Vienna twice more in 1767 and 1773 before finally deciding to make the city his home for the last ten years of his life, in 1781. In 1782, Mozart married Constance Weber and it was in the city that he wrote his great operas such as The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute. Mozart obtained a modest salary in his role as court chamber musician but his extravagant lifestyle meant that he was constantly in debt. Frustrated by not obtaining a higher position at court and lacking popular success in Vienna, Mozart died a broken man in 1791 at the age of 35, and was buried in a small ceremony in an unmarked grave. F Just before Mozart’s untimely death, Joseph Haydn finally moved to Vienna. Haydn had visited the city many times before, but it was only in 1790 that he made it his home. Haydn is seen as the father of the symphony and string quartet, taking both musical forms to hitherto unheard-of heights of sophistication and artistic expression. He was a major influence on Beethoven and later classical composers. G Haydn briefly acted as a teacher to Ludwig van Beethoven when the younger man settled in Vienna in 1792. Beethoven soon earned great popularity and patronage from the music-loving aristocracy in the city with his new style of Romantic music. However, Beethoven’s public and private performances dwindled after the onset of deafness from 1802, and his works became darker and more introspective as the composer grew increasingly depressed by his affliction. Today the works of his maturity are recognized as some of the greatest achievements of humanity in the field of all art, not simply music. However, by the time Beethoven died in 1827, Viennese musical taste had moved away from Beethoven’s intense music to the lighter Italian opera exemplified by the works of Rossini. Nevertheless, it is estimated that 10,000 people turned out to attend his state funeral and this public figure, the Romantic artist as tortured hero, was buried with pomp at Wahring cemetery, in stark contrast to Mozart’s ignominious burial. One of the men carrying Beethoven’s coffin was Franz Schubert. H Schubert, the twelfth child of a family of schoolteachers was the only one of the great classical composers actually to have been born in Vienna. Schubert was, if anything, even more of a Romantic than Beethoven, and his music celebrates feeling and emotion rather than thought and reason. During his short life (he died at the age of 31) Schubert wrote over 600 lyrical songs and has been called the king of the lieder (German for romantic songs). Schubert often performed chamber music for groups of friends, but his works only really became popular after his death in 1828. He was buried near his great idol, Beethoven. I In the mid-19th century, light dance music was all the rage in Vienna and the most famous exponents of this style were the father and son, Johann Strauss I (1804–49) and Johann Strauss II (1825–99). Their daring waltz dances were based on Austrian folk tunes. The younger Strauss found great success touring Europe and America with this dance music, and consequently he became known as the “king of the waltz.” Many of these pieces remain popular today, including the ever popular Blue Danube. J Another great classical composer to make Vienna his home in the late 19th century was Johannes Brahms (1833–97), who moved to the city in 1862, and is often referred to as the true heir of Beethoven in his symphonic style, although he also wrote a number of songs and Hungarian dances. 19th-century Vienna also bore witness to the musical skill of the romantic composer, Anton Bruckner (1824–96), who moved to the city in 1868, and Gustav Mahler (1860–1911), who was director of the Vienna Opera for ten years. K In the early years of the 20th century the so-called Second Viennese School emerged with the rise of modern composers, Arnold Sch?nberg (1874–1935), Anton von Webern (1883–1945), and Alban Berg (1885–1935). Their music was considered difficult and challenging by many people at the time and therefore was not well-received in Vienna, but their work is now seen as laying the foundations for much serious modern music. L To sum up, Vienna is a major city of musical heritage and so should be an essential place to visit for anyone interested in the Austrian contribution to culture. __________ Haydn is regarded as having perfected the symphony.

37、__________ Brahms is said to have been Beethoven’s successor.

38、__________ Many fine 18th-century palaces may still be seen in Vienna today.

39、__________ Mozart was always short of money as he spent more than he earned.

40、__________ The music of the Second Viennese School is seen as challenging but important.

41、__________ Guided walking tours in Vienna include visits to former residences of a number of great composers.

42、__________ Beethoven gradually gave up giving public performances after 1802 as a result of his increasing deafness.

43、__________ Waltz music of the Strauss family was based on folk tunes.

44、__________ Vienna was fought over by many rival groups.

45、__________ Mozart was an exceptional pianist at a very early age.
