18、about LiteratureBAt noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs it was the sound of my favorite violin.“Thief!”I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was pe
19、tting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked
20、, “Are you Mr. Rams nephew, Michael? Im his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. Youre really like him!”Hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think Id better first go out for a wa
21、lk and visit him again in a while.”I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”“Yes, but Im so poor that I cant afford it,” the boy replied.“Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the vi
22、olin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He trembled(颤抖) for a moment and ran out without looking back.I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the houseke
23、epers photo.A few years later, at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne, I was invited to judge the final. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength!After the award, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, excited, asked, “Mr. Brian, do y
24、ou still know me? You have given me a violin, which I have been treasuring until today! Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret” It turned out that he was “Mr. Rams nephew Michael”! Tears welled up in my eyes.24. Why did the author address the boy “Mr. Rams nephew, Michael”?A. Becau

27、ference.CTake a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even
28、completely asleep.Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practic
29、es and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child get
30、s older. After puberty (青春期), the bodys internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full nights sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in th
31、is country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believ
32、e that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should
33、 consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.28. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
34、D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.29. The second paragraph mainly discusses _.A. why high school students should get more sleepB. whats life like for high school students at presentC. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroomD. how to lighten high schoo
35、l students homework load30. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_”.A. arrives B. reduces C. increases D. changes31. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied. C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.DThe octopus( 章鱼) has been a little f
36、rightening to people for years. It seems like it could be from another planet, because the animal has eight slippery arms, each of which has its own kind of brain. It is very different from a persons brain.However, it turns out the sea creatures might be more like us than we thought. Scientists say
37、that octopuses have been building cities underwater. Scientists have discovered that the so called gloomy (忧郁的，幽暗的) octopus”， whose scientific name is octopus tetricus, is not that gloomy and alone after all. In Jervis Bay, in eastern Australia, this type of octopus has been seen to gather at a site
38、 that looks like a small city. Scientists have named it Octlantis. Octopuses have a way of talking to each other there and even kick each other out of the site. Professor David Scheel, leading a study on them, compares Octlantis to our towns in his new report. The octopuses might be acting the way p
39、eople do to each other, he said.The discovery of Octlantis is important. It supports scientists ideas about what octopuses do. Another nearby octopus city in Australia was found below the water in 2009. It was thought to be the only one then. The city, named Octopolis, was formed around a large piec
40、e of metal made by people. A writer, Peter Godfrey-Smith, who wrote a book about octopuses, went diving at the underwater city. He saw it as an underwater island where octopuses would be protected. They could hide from sharks and dolphins.Octlantis does not have any human object at its center. Its o
41、cean builders have built walls from the shells of other animals. These shells come from animals the octopuses ate. One reason for these underwater towns may be that there is a food supply nearby.The cities may help the octopus evolve(进化), or change over a long period of time. They could make octopus
42、 brains better, Godfrey-Smith said. Octopus cities let us see how the animals act. They are said to be as smart as a person who is 3 years old.32. Why is the discovery of Octlantis important for scientists?A. It shows that octopuses could have built more cities.B. It shows that octopuses can use hum
43、an objects to build cities and houses .C. It shows that octopuses know how to work in groups to find food for everyone.D. It shows that octopuses can live together in peace instead of just fighting each other.32. Which sentence from the 4th paragraph explains why octopuses might choose to live in a
44、city?A. It was thought to be the only one then.B. They could hide from sharks and dolphins.C. It backs up scientists ideas about what octopuses do.D. The city was formed around a large piece of metal made by people.34. What can the readers get to know because of the discovery of octopus cities?A. Oc
45、topuses have brains even in their arms.B. Octopuses might even be smarter than humans.C. Octopuses have a lot in common with humans.D. Octopuses are very dangerous because they can work together.35. What is the main writing purpose of the last paragraph?A. It shows the octopus is smarter than humans

It explains why it is important to study octopus cities.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。There are times when attending class and studying your textbook just arent e
