Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all，the road to fame and fortune is a long，hard one.
Michael remembers those early years when he was young.“My father was a machine operator，” he explained.“and he worked at a steel plant.My mother worked at Sears，a big department store.But they were both musicians.”
Michael’s father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent，and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians.In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good.He knew if his sons were to stand out，they would have to be the best.
Practice makes perfect.And the Jackson boys practiced! Gradually the group took shape.Then word of this group began to get around.Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo songs.In the following years，Michael was always on the top.One million records of his were sold in New Zealand，which had only a total population of three million!
When Michael was eighteen，he entered another field of his career—acting.“I plan to star in movies，” he told his friends.“but of course，my first love is music.”
Michael wrote a lot of his own songs.“Songs came about in the strangest ways，” he said.“I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head.And then I put it down on the paper.”
Still，with all his success，Michael managed to keep his head calm.“I just do a different job from other people，” he said.“but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people.”
To be quite honest，his fans just love to hear and watch him!

One of the simplest and the most effective forms of communication involves nothing more than the movement of facial muscles.What am I talking about？Smiling！Everyone understands what a smile means，and everyone also understands what a frown means.In fact，these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries，across the world and across the globe，regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.
Moreover，hugs are so beautiful！When you give someone a hug or someone comes up and gives you a hug，this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes(清楚表明) about how much you care for the other person，how much love you want to share with the other person，how much you have missed the other person.This hug has so much to say，and yet there never has to be any words spoken.
And，who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a movement of the head says the same thing？These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be.Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively makes it really easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for words.
Body language in the world of love is a very common thing and sometimes the only thing.And，most of the time，body language is the very first words “spoken” before any words.The old saying is “love at first sight”，not “love at first word”．Across a crowded room，their eyes meet and linger，he winks at her，and she raises an eyebrow.The connection is made without any words needed.These displays of body language say it all.In fact，sometimes they can say more than words can.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微笑、皱眉、拥抱等肢体语言在人们交流中扮演的重要角色。

B．body language can save much time
C．body language can be more effective
D．too many words may bring some trouble

30．The last paragraph talks about body language used .
A．between two people in love
B．between two good friends
C．between family members
D．between close relatives
答案 A

31．Which word can best describe body language according to the passage?
A．Necessary. B．Important.
C．Wonderful. D．Powerful.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。纵观全文可知，肢体语言在表达情意的效果上比语言更好，并且作者所举的例子也体现了肢体语言的强大之处，故选D项。
D
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic(逻辑) behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand.Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many，if not most，highly productive(多产的；生产的) people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it.That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better.Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re halfway there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often，they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

A．has understood it very well
B．needs to understand it better

How to Master Your Public Speaking Voice
Public speaking skills can be a disaster if you don’t know how to use your voice.However，a little bit of practice and a confident outlook can help you to be a fantastic public speaker. 36 .
Learn the sound of your own voice
Record yourself as often as possible—speaking your thoughts aloud，having conversations with friends，giving a presentation at work，etc.so you can hear what your voice sounds like when you are relaxed，having fun，and in stressful situations. 37
Master your breathing
The first step in developing a strong public speaking voice is mastering your breathing. 38 ，which causes their voices to sound high and weak.Develop a habit of breathing deeply at a controlled pace throughout the day so that when it comes to your time to speak，you’ll have less trouble doing it.
39
It’s not just your breathing and vocal cords(声带) that have a physical vocal on your voice.When it comes to public speaking，it is essential that you stand or sit with your back straight.This makes your voice stronger and clearer by allowing you to breathe deeper.It also has the added benefit of making you look more confident.
Adjust your speaking rate
Speaking too slow can cause people to get bored while speaking too fast can be hard to follow. 40 The best speaking rate is in the range of 120-160 words per minute.Practice to control your time.
A．Stand ready to speak
B．Neither way is appropriate
C．Use your vocal cords to pronounce
D．It is a great way to help you speak under pressure
E．It helps to improve your speaking on specific areas
F．Many people make the mistake of not breathing deeply enough
G．You can improve your public speaking voice through some ways
36．答案 G
解析 根据上文“However，a little bit of practice and a confident outlook can help you to be a fantastic public speaker.(然而，一点点的练习和自信的态度可以帮助你成为一个出色的演说家)”以及下文给出的几种方法可知G选项(你可以通过一些方法来提高你的公众演讲的声音)符合题意。
37．答案 E
解析 根据上文“so you can hear what your voice sounds like when you are relaxed，having fun，and in stressful situations.(这样你就能听到自己在放松、开心和压力下的声音)”可知，下文解释这样做的原因是：它有助于提高你在特定领域的演讲能力。故选E。
38．答案 F
解析 根据上文“The first step in developing a strong public speaking voice is mastering your breathing.(培养一个强大的公众演讲声音的第一步是控制你的呼吸)”可知，下文是要强调呼吸的重要性，故F选项(很多人都犯了呼吸不够深的错误)。
39．答案 A
解析 根据下文“When it comes to public speaking，it is essential that you stand or sit with your back straight.(在公众演讲时，挺直腰板站着或坐着是很重要的)”可知，本段讲述站姿的重要性，故A选项适合作本段小标题。
40．答案 B
解析 根据上文Speaking too slow can cause people to get bored while speaking too fast can be hard to follow.(语速太慢会让人感到厌烦，而语速太快则很难让人听懂)可知，这两种说话速度都是不合适的。故选B。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

He created “Barbershop Books Day” to help not only the kids，but also the parents.Madison has many low-income families and many are focused on just keeping their 46 on.For people in this community，$15 for a haircut per kid is not easy to 47 ，so in some way a reduction in the price can 48 .
Scott began his initiative(倡议) by 49 five library books and putting them near his chair.Book 50 began pouring in when a local news station got 51 of what he was doing.Scott plans on taking his initiative a step further by 52 his “Barbershop Books Day” to an “Ice Breaker Book Tour” where he 53 to get kids excited to learn while also giving them 54 role models through motivational speakers.Scott said，“If I step outside my comfort zone and tell them school is cool， 55 it will guide them in the right direction.”
语篇解读 本文是记叙文，主题语境是“人与社会”。作者讲述了28岁的理发师Jermaine Scott为了让孩子们重拾读书的乐趣而创设了“Barbershop Books Day”。
41．A.adapted B．reduced
C．glued D．accustomed
答案 C
解析 根据下文，尤其是“they were focused on those”可知，孩子们来理发时都沉迷于玩平板电脑和手机。be glued to sth.“全神贯注看着某物”符合语境。be adapted to适应；be reduced to陷入；be accustomed to习惯于。
42．A.safe B．hard
C．possible D．pleasant
答案 B
解析 根据上文描述可知，孩子们来理发时都沉迷于玩平板电脑和手机，这使得给他们剪头发变得很困难(hard)。

C．celebration D．birth
答案 D
解析 根据上下文可知，因为那个情况，Scott想出一个解决方法，即发起“Barbershop Books Day”活动。由此可知，此处表示该活动的诞生(birth)。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was raining pretty hard on Halloween，but that wasn’t going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating.We decided to start at Miss Parson’s house.Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived nearby because she often shared her self-made cookies with us.We usually finished them in a second，especially when we were hungry after class.Sometimes，when we visited her or did something for her，she always gave us surprise.
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she’d offer.As we walked down the street，I held an umbrella，a bag for candy，and my sister’s hand.Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street.Spider webs hung in all the windows.Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways.After we had walked a few blocks，we were wet from head to toes，and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.
There was a light on at Miss Parson’s house，but there were no ghosts，goblins(小妖精)，or Jack-o-Lanterns.We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window.She was drinking a cup of hot tea.
“Maybe she doesn’t celebrate Halloween，” Kate said with a sigh，disappointedly.
“Well，even if she doesn’t，she usually likes it when we visit her，” I said and knocked on the door.
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing.“Is today Halloween？” she asked.“I completely forgot.I am so sorry！”
Paragraph 1：
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.
Paragraph 2：
The next morning，a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.
答案
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.“It’s cold out here，” she said.My sister’s face was shining from the rain and Miss Parson dried her cheeks.“Thank you，” Kate said.“Trick or treat？”“Oh，right！Treats，” said Miss Parson in surprise.Then she disappeared for a moment and came back with a big smile on her face.“Open those bags wide，” she said.She dropped two boxes of cocoa into our bags.“Winter is just around the corner，”she said.“Some hot cocoa will keep you warm.”“Thank you，” we both said.“Happy Halloween！”
The next morning，a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.We told Mom about how Miss Parson had forgotten Halloween and about what she had given to us and the other kids.“It sounds as if nobody was very upset，even though she forgot Halloween，” said Mom.“No，we were happy，” I said.“Although she didn’t give us candy，it was kind of fun for us all to get something different for a change.I hope it will become a Halloween tradition to give out unusual treats.”

Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all，the road to fame and fortune is a long，hard one.
Michael remembers those early years when he was young.“My father was a machine operator，” he explained.“and he worked at a steel plant.My mother worked at Sears，a big department store.But they were both musicians.”
Michael’s father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent，and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians.In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good.He knew if his sons were to stand out，they would have to be the best.
Practice makes perfect.And the Jackson boys practiced! Gradually the group took shape.Then word of this group began to get around.Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo songs.In the following years，Michael was always on the top.One million records of his were sold in New Zealand，which had only a total population of three million!
When Michael was eighteen，he entered another field of his career—acting.“I plan to star in movies，” he told his friends.“but of course，my first love is music.”
Michael wrote a lot of his own songs.“Songs came about in the strangest ways，” he said.“I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head.And then I put it down on the paper.”
Still，with all his success，Michael managed to keep his head calm.“I just do a different job from other people，” he said.“but it doesn’t make me think I’m better than other people.”
To be quite honest，his fans just love to hear and watch him!

One of the simplest and the most effective forms of communication involves nothing more than the movement of facial muscles.What am I talking about？Smiling！Everyone understands what a smile means，and everyone also understands what a frown means.In fact，these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries，across the world and across the globe，regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.
Moreover，hugs are so beautiful！When you give someone a hug or someone comes up and gives you a hug，this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes(清楚表明) about how much you care for the other person，how much love you want to share with the other person，how much you have missed the other person.This hug has so much to say，and yet there never has to be any words spoken.
And，who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a movement of the head says the same thing？These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be.Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively makes it really easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for words.
Body language in the world of love is a very common thing and sometimes the only thing.And，most of the time，body language is the very first words “spoken” before any words.The old saying is “love at first sight”，not “love at first word”．Across a crowded room，their eyes meet and linger，he winks at her，and she raises an eyebrow.The connection is made without any words needed.These displays of body language say it all.In fact，sometimes they can say more than words can.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微笑、皱眉、拥抱等肢体语言在人们交流中扮演的重要角色。
28．How many kinds of body language are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A．Two. B．Three.
C．Four. D．Five.

B．body language can save much time
C．body language can be more effective
D．too many words may bring some trouble
答案 C

30．The last paragraph talks about body language used .
A．between two people in love
B．between two good friends
C．between family members
D．between close relatives
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Body language in the world of love is a very common thing and sometimes the only thing.”和下文的介绍可知，最后一段讲的是两个相爱的人之间的肢体语言。
31．Which word can best describe body language according to the passage?
A．Necessary. B．Important.
C．Wonderful. D．Powerful.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。纵观全文可知，肢体语言在表达情意的效果上比语言更好，并且作者所举的例子也体现了肢体语言的强大之处，故选D项。
D
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic(逻辑) behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand.Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many，if not most，highly productive(多产的；生产的) people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it.That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better.Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re halfway there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often，they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

A．has understood it very well
B．needs to understand it better

The first step in developing a strong public speaking voice is mastering your breathing. 38 ，which causes their voices to sound high and weak.Develop a habit of breathing deeply at a controlled pace throughout the day so that when it comes to your time to speak，you’ll have less trouble doing it.
39
It’s not just your breathing and vocal cords(声带) that have a physical vocal on your voice.When it comes to public speaking，it is essential that you stand or sit with your back straight.This makes your voice stronger and clearer by allowing you to breathe deeper.It also has the added benefit of making you look more confident.
Adjust your speaking rate
Speaking too slow can cause people to get bored while speaking too fast can be hard to follow. 40 The best speaking rate is in the range of 120-160 words per minute.Practice to control your time.
A．Stand ready to speak
B．Neither way is appropriate
C．Use your vocal cords to pronounce
D．It is a great way to help you speak under pressure
E．It helps to improve your speaking on specific areas
F．Many people make the mistake of not breathing deeply enough
G．You can improve your public speaking voice through some ways
36．答案 G
解析 根据上文“However，a little bit of practice and a confident outlook can help you to be a fantastic public speaker.(然而，一点点的练习和自信的态度可以帮助你成为一个出色的演说家)”以及下文给出的几种方法可知G选项(你可以通过一些方法来提高你的公众演讲的声音)符合题意。
37．答案 E
解析 根据上文“so you can hear what your voice sounds like when you are relaxed，having fun，and in stressful situations.(这样你就能听到自己在放松、开心和压力下的声音)”可知，下文解释这样做的原因是：它有助于提高你在特定领域的演讲能力。故选E。
38．答案 F
解析 根据上文“The first step in developing a strong public speaking voice is mastering your breathing.(培养一个强大的公众演讲声音的第一步是控制你的呼吸)”可知，下文是要强调呼吸的重要性，故F选项(很多人都犯了呼吸不够深的错误)。
39．答案 A
解析 根据下文“When it comes to public speaking，it is essential that you stand or sit with your back straight.(在公众演讲时，挺直腰板站着或坐着是很重要的)”可知，本段讲述站姿的重要性，故A选项适合作本段小标题。
40．答案 B
解析 根据上文Speaking too slow can cause people to get bored while speaking too fast can be hard to follow.(语速太慢会让人感到厌烦，而语速太快则很难让人听懂)可知，这两种说话速度都是不合适的。故选B。

41．A.adapted B．reduced
C．glued D．accustomed
答案 C

42．A.safe B．hard
C．possible D．pleasant
答案 B

47．A.overlook B．afford
C．believe D．decline
答案 B
解析 根据上文中的“Madison has many low-income families and many are focused on just keeping their on”可知，对于社区里的家庭来说，他们很难负担得起(afford)付15美元给孩子理发。

56．答案 which
解析 考查定语从句的关系词。此处是“介词in＋which”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰上文的the waiting room。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was raining pretty hard on Halloween，but that wasn’t going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick-or-treating.We decided to start at Miss Parson’s house.Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived nearby because she often shared her self-made cookies with us.We usually finished them in a second，especially when we were hungry after class.Sometimes，when we visited her or did something for her，she always gave us surprise.
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she’d offer.As we walked down the street，I held an umbrella，a bag for candy，and my sister’s hand.Jack-o-Lanterns gave soft light along the street.Spider webs hung in all the windows.Parents who were dressed up like monsters(怪物) stood in doorways.After we had walked a few blocks，we were wet from head to toes，and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.
There was a light on at Miss Parson’s house，but there were no ghosts，goblins(小妖精)，or Jack-o-Lanterns.We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window.She was drinking a cup of hot tea.
“Maybe she doesn’t celebrate Halloween，” Kate said with a sigh，disappointedly.
“Well，even if she doesn’t，she usually likes it when we visit her，” I said and knocked on the door.
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing.“Is today Halloween？” she asked.“I completely forgot.I am so sorry！”
Paragraph 1：
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.
Paragraph 2：
The next morning，a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.
答案
Miss Parson rushed us into her house.“It’s cold out here，” she said.My sister’s face was shining from the rain and Miss Parson dried her cheeks.“Thank you，” Kate said.“Trick or treat？”“Oh，right！Treats，” said Miss Parson in surprise.Then she disappeared for a moment and came back with a big smile on her face.“Open those bags wide，” she said.She dropped two boxes of cocoa into our bags.“Winter is just around the corner，”she said.“Some hot cocoa will keep you warm.”“Thank you，” we both said.“Happy Halloween！”
The next morning，a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids.We told Mom about how Miss Parson had forgotten Halloween and about what she had given to us and the other kids.“It sounds as if nobody was very upset，even though she forgot Halloween，” said Mom.“No，we were happy，” I said.“Although she didn’t give us candy，it was kind of fun for us all to get something different for a change.I hope it will become a Halloween tradition to give out unusual treats.”
