She has sung at many of the major opera houses in the world. Unlike other world-famous male opera singers, she was particularly known for her Mozart operatic roles. At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carols voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when shes singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes. “When you breathe, its like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater,” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.” According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and its a lot softer. Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano(女高音) voice the highest singing voice for women. Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten why she started singing in the first place. “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. Thats why I sing. In fact, thats why everybody sings.”21. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Way a Star Sings B. An Opera StarC. Opera Singing and Pop Singing D. Singing without a Microphone22.

Carol is popular with Americans and EuropeansBOne day a mime(啞劇演員) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoos most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人數(shù)) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime the job he likes but loses.However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墻), and dangles(懸掛) from the top to the lions cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mimes pay keeps going up.Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool!

Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males dont hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other persons arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the palm(手掌) facing outward, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, palm outward, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean “no”.When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.In the United States, its important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you dont make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conservation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arms length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger(食指) at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.28. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that in the United States _. A. males begin to hug each other nowB. a man usually kisses a woman for greetingC. people only use right hands to shake handsD. people wave good-bye as people in many other countries do29. Some women dont like to be offered a seat by men because _. A. they think sitting is harmful for healthB. they prefer to stand rather than sitC. they like to be treated equallyD. they dont need mens favor30. The third paragraph is mainly about _. A. body language in public places B. impolite body languageC. the comfort zone D. body language in business and social life31. In the United States, a mother sometimes shakes an index finger at her kids to show _. A. boredom B. anger C. love D. satisfactionDIt is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents dont understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend(傾向) to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents dont like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control. If you prefer to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.32. According to the text, young people prefer to _.A. ask for advice before they really start to do anythingB. think in the same way as their parents doC. be very strict with themselvesD. do things without thinking carefully ahead33. Why do young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their way?A. Because they want to try on something new and look different from the older.B. Because they try to get their parents to be proud of them.C. Because they want to give their parents a big surprise.D. Because they want to test whether they are cleverer than old people.34. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because _.A. they feel they are cleverer than old peopleB. they do not want to get into trouble with their parentsC. they dont feel they belong to the world of the old peopleD. they want to show the new is better than the old35. If a young man intends to control his own life, its better for him to _.A. do everything according to his own wishB. hold himself responsible for everything he doesC. do everything beyond his parents controlD. do everything the way his parents do第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。Vegetarian UKVegetarians and vegans Vegetarians (people who dont eat meat) and vegans (people who dont eat or use any animal products) are becoming increasingly common in UK culture. 36 A recent survey showed that three million people were vegetarian. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese. 37So why are Brits cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worries about food safety (for example BES or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. 38 According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet could help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure. Organic farmingAnother rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics. 39Organic food According to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables sent to their homes every week. 40 Although its often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!A. A healthy dietB. A balanced dietC. Many people buy organic products in their local supermarket.D. More and more people are deciding not to eat meat or use animal products.E. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy.F. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health.G. Organically farmed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常規(guī)) basis.

The world is full of 46 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument(紀(jì)念碑) to someones 47 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 48 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 49 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents(青少年) enter high school with great 50 but are soon looking forward to 51 .
