“Angie,I know you like to sing,” her father,an autoworker,told Angela Brown,“but you must have something to fall back on (依靠).”
Brown took her father’s advice.She got a degree in secretarial science before entering Oakwood College,in Huntsville,Alabama.However,her aim was to become a singer at religious meetings.So after graduation she headed for Indiana University to study with the famous soprano (女高音歌手) Virginia Zeani.
Once,when Brown was troubled by self-doubt,Zeani said to her,“If you want to be the next Aretha Franklin,you need no more lessons,” Brown remembers her saying.“But if you want to be the best Verdian soprano this world has ever seen,you must work.”
Work she did.Three times she competed in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions (试演).Three times she failed to make the final round in New York.Then,in 1997 at age 33,the age limit for sopranos to audition,she gave it one more try.She signed up at the last minute and didn’t even practice,thinking,“All they could do was tell me no,and that didn’t hurt my feelings anymore.” She had the strength she needed to fall back on if she failed.
She won.But making it in New York was just the beginning.It took her three more years to become a Met understudy (候补演员).But waiting in the wings was fine with her.Finally,her time came.When the featured singer fell ill,Brown earned the chance to sing the lead role in Aida.And The New York Times described her performance as a great success.Angela Brown,who had prepared for 20 years,was an “overnight” successful singer at age 40.
1.The underlined words “Aretha Franklin” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to “ ”. A.another teacher B.another singer
C.one of Virginia Zeani’s students D.a Met understudy 答案:B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知,Brown跟随Zeani学习唱歌,所以当Brown怀疑自己时,Zeani说如果她选择放弃的话,就会是下一个Aretha Franklin,故Aretha Franklin应是一名歌手。
2.We can learn from the fourth paragraph that Angela Brown . A.failed to make the final round because of her old age B.failed many auditions because she hadn’t practiced hard C.cared much about the results of the audition in 1997
D.would have lost the last chance if she had failed again in 1997 答案:D 解析:细节理解题。从第四段中的“Then,in 1997 at age 33,the age limit for sopranos to audition,she gave it one more try.”可知,这次试演是Brown的最后一次机会,如不成功她就没机会了。
3.When did Angela Brown act as a Met understudy? A.From 1997 to 2000. B.From 2000 to 2004. C.From 1997 to 2004. D.From 2000 to 2006.
答案:B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四、五段中的时间可知,Brown 在36岁时(2000年)担任候补演员,40岁时成名,所以她担任候补演员的时间应是从2000年到2004年。
4.Which of the following sayings can best express the message of the passage? A.No pains,no gains.
B.The early bird catches the worm.
C.Never too old to learn;never too late to turn. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 答案:D 解析:推理判断题。本文讲述了 Angela Brown虽历经多次挫折和失败,仍不放弃自己成为歌手的梦想。故最能体现Angela Brown成功的是D项,意思为“心之所愿,无事不成”。A项意思为“不劳则无获”;B项意思为“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”;C项意思为“活到老,学到老”。

Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be.There are steel monsters blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas,people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental problems,people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They’re not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realize that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps are not leaky(漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping(节省).Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only energy-saving,but it also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.
5.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe . A.huge buildings B.high mountains C.big factories
D.characters in fairy stories 答案:C 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“...blocking out the sun,blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers...”可知,steel monsters遮挡太阳、排出有害气体并将有毒的化学物质排入河流,由此可知,steel monsters指的就是大型工厂,故C项正确。 6.From the fifth paragraph,we can know that . A.protecting the environment begins with small chores B.protecting the environment should start from childhood C.wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D.protecting the environment benefits the country and the people 答案:B 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives...”可知,保护环境要从娃娃抓起,把环保意识和方法传授给孩子们,故B项正确。 7.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The more people do their part,the greener the environment will be. B.Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling. C.To protect the environment may help you save some money. D.Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution. 答案:D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We should realize that what we do does count.”可知,我们的不良行为加剧了环境问题,故D项正确。 8.The passage is mainly about . A.the use of garbage dustbins B.how to save water and electricity C.how to save the environment
D.our current environmental problems 答案:C 解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一些保护环境的方法,故C项正确。

These years traveling abroad is becoming more and more popular with ordinary Chinese people.If you want to enjoy such a wonderful travel,your travelling abroad truly requires the most careful preparations. 1 This is a short list of some necessary things you should not forget to bring as you fly to a foreign land.
Passport.First,be sure to bring your passport along with several copies of it.Accidentally losing your passport can be a difficult experience you should always try to avoid.You may keep digital copies of this important document for backup purposes,too. 2 Guidebook.Staying in an unfamiliar place doesn’t have to be a headache with the help of a nice guidebook.This one provides you with maps and information you can use as you move from one place to another.
Extra clothes.While travelling,“lightly” is always highly recommended;never make the mistake of bringing lesser than what you actually need. 3 This is a safety precaution that you can do to make sure that you have something to wear just in case your luggage is unknowingly
