题目内容

11．Taylor Swift was born on December 13，1989，in Wyomissing，Pennsylvania．Swift's family ran a farm．"I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old，"said Swift's mother．"If my dream had gone well，she'd be in a horse show right now．"The only obvious forerunner （先驱） of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother，an opera singer．
That talent showed itself early：when the family went to see a Disney musical film，Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly．At the age of 11，she sang"The Star-Spangled Banner"at a Philadelphia 76ers game．The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift's talent．As a child，she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown，but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing．Although it was her hometown，she didn't know any of her classmates，and she was terrified．Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs，and put her feelings into songs of her own．
One of her future hits，"The Outside"，was written when she was only 12．"I wrote that about the scariest feeling I've ever felt：going to school，looking at those faces，and not knowing who you're gonna talk to that day，"she said．"In the music，I could never feel the kind of rejection （拒绝） that I felt in middle school．"Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands．They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville，Tennessee．
Swift had the ability，above all，to put feelings into words with accuracy （准确） far beyond her years．In"Our Song"she wrote，"Our song is the slamming screen door，going out late，tapping on your window．"In the summer of 2006，"Tim McGraw"came out，and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star．

18．When she was in her childhood，Taylor SwiftC．
A．dreamed of being a horse rider 
B．was expected to help on the farm
C．showed her talent for music early
D．learned singing from her grandmother
19．Which of the following can best describe Swift's school days in Wyomissing？A

20．Taylor Swift's parents moved the family to HendersonvilleD．
A．when she was twelve years old．
B．after"The Outside"became a hit．
C．because she was rejected in school．
D．after they realized her musical talent．
21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？D
A．Swift sang for a Disney movie at a young age．
B．"The Outside"came out when Swift was only 12．
C．Life in Wyndcroft School encouraged Swift's creativity．
D．She tells her stories in her music．

分析 文章讲述了著名音乐家Taylor Swift 从小就对音乐 有着惊人的天赋并在学习的道路上付出的努力．

解答 18-21 CADD
18．C 细节题．根据第二段这句话when the family went to see a Disney musical film，Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly看出，小时候去看电影时，她能把歌曲全部正确唱出来，所以很小就表现出在音乐上的天赋，故答案为C．
19．A 细节题．根据Although it was her hometown，she didn't know any of her classmates，and she was terrified．这句话，虽然在家乡上学，但是她不认识一个同学，这使她感到害怕，故答案为A．
20．D 细节题．Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands．They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville，Tennessee这句话告诉我们父母意识她在音乐上很有天赋后，变搬了家，故答案为D．
21．D 细节题．最后一段第一话话Swift had the ability，above all，to put feelings into words with accuracy 告诉我们她将自己所有的感情都投入到歌曲之中，推出她是在用音乐来讲述故事，故答案为D．在文章中是小时候去看Disney电影并能唱其中的歌曲，并不是为该电影唱歌，所以A错误；The Outside"，was written when she was only 12是在12岁是创作了，并不是发行，B错误；根据19题可知在这个学校是她最困难的时间，所以D错误．

2．Ann Makosinski，16，was just another teenager with another science project when she joined her local science fair（展览会） in Victoria，Canada．Her invention，a flashlight that is powered from hand heat，took second place at the competition．
"It's a very simple project，"said Arthur Makosinski，Ann's father．"Let's move on and do something different．"
But if Ann had left her project，the world may have missed out on a light source that doesn't use batteries，solar power or wind energy．
Two years ago，Ann found that a friend of hers in the Philippines didn't have electricity．According to Ann，her friend couldn't complete her homework and was failing in school．"So I wanted to do something to help my friend in the Philippines，"said Ann．
Ann got to work．After a few experiments，her"hollow flashlight"was born．It shines for as long as you hold onto it．At the suggestion of Kate Paine，her ninth grade biology teacher，Ann submitted her flashlight into the Google Science Fair．
A few months later，in September，Ann was named a finalist in her age group．At the science fair's celebration night，Ann and Arthur stayed with top Google engineers，well-known scientists and some of the most creative kids on the planet．
Hers was the last name they expected to be called out the winner for her age group．When it was，Arthur almost dropped his camera!
And then there's the business of changing the original design for market．At about 24lumens （流明；光束强度单位），Ann's flashlight's brightness falls shy of commercial flashlights．
Of her efforts to increase her flashlight's efficiency，she said，"I want to make sure my flashlight is available to those who really need it．"

A．at the request of her friend
B．under her parents'encouragement
C．after learning about her friend's situation
D．to help people who lack access to electricity

B．he was shocked by the result
C．he was delighted at the result
D．he was eager to take a picture of Ann

B．It has made a difference to the poor．
C．It has been put on the market．
D．It needs improving．

Dear Jenny，
                                 
Yours LiHua．
1．High heels，coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car．The seemingly harmless items have been responsible for more than 13million crashes and near misses on Britain's roads．
While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported，women played their part by driving in high heels．Putting fashion over function meant 44percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels-with those aged 25to 34accounting for most of the incidents reported．
Those keen for a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicle．Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their car or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedal（刹车踏板）．
However，it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car，man's best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured．One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape（刮檫）or near miss on the road due to their dog's wandering freely，climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows．
The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time，according to the poll of 2，000British motorists．The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of￡261.47for the damage caused by every crash．Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midland and Wales．
Janet Connor，a managing director，said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly，as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of debris．She said，"The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are well known but as the evidence suggests，those within the car are often forgotten．"

46．What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving？B
A．They wear expensive clothes．
B．They wear shoes with high heels．
C．They drink too much coffee in cars
D．They take their dog without trying it．
47．Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents becauseC．
A．the coffee may make them feel faint
B．the coffee may make the car smell terrible
C．the deserted coffee cups may make the brake fail
D．the deserted coffee cups may look the same as brake pedals
48．Why shouldn't drivers put their dogs in the car while driving？C
A．Dogs may bark loudly when they see the traffic lights．
B．Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty．
C．Dogs may walk around or even try to escape．
D．Dogs may break the window to get fresh air．
