Music has always been an important part of Chinese people’s life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concert halls. As time goes by, music changes.

Traditional music is part of our culture. It often    51    with us for a long time. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes very little. Modern Chinese music, which is loved by many young people, however, is    52    pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today’s musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.

Music could only be heard live (直播)    53    radio and TV were invented —that is,  you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very   54   , so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people, the best    55    to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today, people hear music    56   .

One thing that hasn’t changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about the    57    and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.

Music, traditional or modern, Chinese or international, seems to be a world language that everybody can    58    and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go, but nothing changes our love for good music.

A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)

Qi Haoran, a Junior Grade One student at a High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winter holiday – and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动).

These students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaignbegan on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Chinese people are well-known for being hospitable（好客的）and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker（贴花）. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

   C) in a high school                               D) on the Internet

B.  Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）

“DRINK your milk. It’s good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk contains calcium (钙), which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even   80   milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.

However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)’ says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all of which are not so   81   to health. There are better ways to get calcium, such as eating beans and drinking orange juice and soymilk. “One of the only    82   people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.

Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that have   83   to do with your bone strength, such as genes (基因), how much vitamin D you take in, and time, getting an hour’s exercise every day.

Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, an American Dietitian (营养学家), says “I don’t think it’s   84   if we take away this drink from the lunch line. Children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient (营养的) needs for the day.”

The US government is now considering PCRM’s idea, but   85   may be a long way off. A professor at New York University puts it best: “Milk certainly has nutrients. Other food has the same nutrients. It’s just food. As with other food, too much might be a problem.”

80. A) requires                  B) refuses                    C) drinks                   D) stops

81. A) harmful                  B) beautiful                  C) helpful                  D) awful

82. A) signals                    B) tasks                       C) manners                D) reasons

83. A) anything                 B) something                C) everything             D) nothing

84. A) responsible              B) important                C) unhealthy              D) useless

85. A) a situation               B) a decision                C) an invention           D) an occupation

Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys –dogs, cats,rabbits, bears, e  86   and so on. I love them!

Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn’t got a collection of photos, or books? Many people collect the letters or emails they’ve got from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don’t think of t  87   as ‘collectors’ because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, there are some people who love collecting things as a h  88  , and there is no limit to the things you can collect. You can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos. In fact, some people haveextraordinary (不寻常的) collections.

For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually t  89   away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection and you can find some of them in his own museum in Gloucester, UK .

When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left b  90   some extraordinary collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old match boxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy didn’t want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was s  91   to find out that his father’s collections were veryvaluable (宝贵的).

 Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection, or you can buy collectors’ magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites such as E-bay. Or you can have an e  92   of things you have for something else that you would like to have.

Lee Ching loved tennis. He had a few old balls and an old racquet (球拍) that his grandfather had given him. Lee was the happiest when he was practising his shots against a wall at his house. He hoped that he would become a famous player one day.

However, there was one problem—Lee’s family was very poor. This meant that there was not enough money to pay for tennis lessons, the white clothes or a new racquet and balls. Lee had tried playing with the other players in his town, but they had just made fun of his old racquet and shabby clothes. So, Lee spent his time watching them play and then practising exactly what he had seen them do, against the wall at home. The manager of the tennis courts, Mr. Song, had seen Lee watching the tennis, day after day, and decided to find out why. When he heard Lee’s story, he had pity on him and offered to give Lee tennis lessons.

Through the lessons, Mr. Song realized that Lee knew a lot about tennis, so he asked him to coach the younger children’s tennis class; this time Lee was paid for his job. He was able to buy new clothes and a new racquet and soon people were asking him to join their games. His tennis skills were improving all the time.

Lee became a very good tennis player. So good that Mr. Song invited him to play in a competition at the town courts. Lee did not know that Mr. Song had invited a world-class tennis coach, Mr. Wei, to watch Lee play. Lee played very well and won all his matches. Mr. Wei was so impressed that he offered Lee a place at his tennis school.

For many years, Lee worked hard at his tennis. Then came the day when Lee played in his first world championship. The young man he would be playing against was the world champion. Lee was nervous. The young man played very well. He was too good for Lee to beat. So Lee came second in the competition. But Lee didn’t mind. There was plenty of time for winning in the future. For now, he was happy that he was on the road to becoming a world famous player.
