3.材料题Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way．Our expression today is “to face the music”． When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert．It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that．Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children．We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you．” and only because we did not obey him．What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old ．And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper．He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage．When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music．” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them．And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines．But he had to go out．If he did not, there would be no play．So the expression “to face the music” come to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice．” Other explanations about the expression go back to the army．When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked ．Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection．What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done．As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored ．The band does not play．Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat．The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse．99 How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?

Probably no other musical instrument(乐器）is as popular around the world as the guitar(吉他）。Almost every kind of music needs a guitar.Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar.The Spanish music called flamenco could not exist without a guitar.The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar.And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument.

People do not agree about where the guitar was first played,but most agree it is veryold.Some say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than one thousand years ago. Some other say that an old form of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persian sometime in the 12th century.The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today.

Many famous musicians played the instrument.The famous musician Niccolo Paganini played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s.Franz Schubert used the guitartowrite some of his famous works.In modern times Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular.

One kind of music for the guitar developed in the southern area of SpaincalledAndalusia，It will always be strongly connected with the Spanish guitar.4.What would be the best title for the text?（）

9.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is amystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer We live，the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，themore the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style．AboVe all，the real poet is a master of Words．He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move mento tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r，or they willmake our speech silly and rude．One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions isthat．

11.The environment affects the way people interact.To examine this conclusion,two researchers"decorated"three rooms:One room was refurnished to look ugly.The second room was intended to look average.The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces.The resultsindicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way peoplerated the faces.Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition,subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room.Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate.One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors,listed in order of preference,were blue,green,purple,red and yellow.The colors listed from most to least arousing were red,orange,yellow,violet,blue,and green.Lighting also affects behavior.Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood ofintimacy(亲密）that encourages conversation.The bright lights of an office or classroom,on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration,color,lighting,and even music and temperature all influence communication with others,but there is no all-purpose environment.The ideal environmentdepends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations ofthosepresent.The same environmentalfactors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create asereneclimate in which to study for final exams.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?（）

15.Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy． 　　Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) . 　　Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy." 　　Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency. 　　"Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to." And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.[单选题] Who was the first president to have a dog in the White House?

16.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:newstandards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and joblosses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making peopleunable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on schoolreform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a morehumane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk andSchneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key tosuccessful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,todiscuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adultsin school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage isthat our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effortteachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last belland those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, itbecomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we allImam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal tamlparticular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don'tfeel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the windowand our relationships suffer.According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?
