Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.
Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”
“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”
So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”
“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitation when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”
“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30 p.m. In fact they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him, “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”
“I did,” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.
( )26. What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?
A. They had gone to other people’s parties many times.
B. They could ask people to dinner in small numbers.
C. They liked making friends with others.
D. It was easy to hold a big party at home.
( )27. When did the party end that evening?
A. At about 8:30 p.m.
B. When the policeman talked with Mr. Harris on the phone.
C. About twelve o’clock.
D. When someone telephoned the police station.
( )28. Why did Mr. Harris telephoned the policeman about the noise?
A. Because someone rang his door bell many times at midnight.
B. He did not want his friends to stay late that night.
C. His friends had a good time that night and also feel tired.
D. Because his wife hated the noise.
(C)
Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often—especially after you touch feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect(消毒)the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw(生的)meat because it can carry germs(细菌)that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.
Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的)animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
( )29. The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.
A. help us keep healthy B. bring us luck
C. be great friends D. do harm to us.
( )30. What will make the cats sick?
A. Give them clean, fresh water to drink.
B. Let them drink the cow’s drink.
C. Wear gloves while cleaning the cats’ litter boxes.
D. Let them drink their mothers’ milk.
( )31. Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?
A. Giving your cat cooked fish.
B. Letting your dog drink from the toilet.
C. Feeding your little cat with raw meat.
D. Sharing your chocolate with your dog.
( )32. According to the text, when you meet an abandoned dog, you should ______.
A. help to find its owner B. bring it back to your home
C. give it first aid in time D. call an animal rescue group
(D)
It is difficult to say exactly how the music we call “rock” or “rock and roll” began. Its roots (根源) go back to many different countries and many different kinds of music and many musicians.
Rock music developed mainly from the interaction (相互影响）of black African and white European music. The Europeans and the African slaves (奴隶）who came to America during the seventeenth century each had their own different kinds of music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats, a rough singing voice, and the calling of a melody (旋律）and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans, mostly English and Scots, used a stronger melody, a less heavy beat, and instruments such as guitars, horns, and fiddles. The history of rock and roll is the history of how rock changed from these two traditions.
From the seventeenth to the twentieth century, musicians in the southern United States developed two new forms of music: the blues, usually played by blacks, and country music, played by whites. Black musicians sang the blues with a guitar. This music was similar to work songs: stories of troubles and pain, with lines that were repeated several times. The word “rock and roll” probably came from the black churches in the South, where people sang and danced to the strong rhythms, which they called “rocking and reeling”. At the same time, whites were playing country music, which was mostly traditional dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories. The singers played with string instruments such as fiddles and guitars.
During this time blues and country musicians had some influence on each other, but the influence grew stronger after phonograph records (留声机唱片)became popular in the late nineteenth century. The birth of the electric guitar changed country and blue music in the 1940s. The sound of the electric guitar would become the sound of rock and roll. No one thinks of early rock and roll without thinking of Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll”. Rock music continues to develop and change, but the heart and soul of rock is the same heart and soul that Elvis expressed.
( )33. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different Kinds of Music B. The Beginning of Rock and Roll
C. Elvis’s Contribution (贡献）to Music D. Rock and Roll Is Developing
( )34. Which of the following doesn’t describe black Africans’ music style?
A. They used heavy drumbeats.
B. They sang in a rough voice.
C. They used instruments such as guitars, horns, and fiddles.
D. They used the calling of a melody and answer of a chorus.
( )35. Which of the following describes country music?
A. Country music is usually played by blacks.
B. People sang spiritual music and danced to the strong rhythms, which they called “country music”.
C. Country music was traditional dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories.
D. Country music was similar to work songs.
( )36. Which of the following NOT right according to the passage?
A. In the seventeenth century, many visitors went to America from Europe and Africa.
B. Rock music developed mainly from the interaction of black African and white European music.
C. Musicians in the southern United States developed two new forms of music: the blues and country music from the seventeenth to the twentieth century.
D. Blues and country musicians had some influence on each other during a time in history.
