【题目】B

"How do you account for your remarkable achievements in life?" Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller. "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to achieve so much?"

Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute(致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown."

According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" (精神失常的)by her by caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.

An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nurse's presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.

Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hostility(敌意), they now noted an emerging gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless" child was released.

Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kindly nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.

"If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. Just how far back does the chain of redemption(救赎) extend? And how for forward will it lead?

Those you have sought to reach, whether they be in your family or elsewhere, are part of a chain of love that can extend through the generations. Your influence on their lives, whether or not you see results, is immeasurable. Your legacy of dedicated kindness and caring can transform lost and hopeless lives for years to come.

【题目】A

When I was six years old, my mother started making me take piano lessons. Every morning, she would make sure I sat in front of the piano and practiced for at least one hour. After two years, I still didn’t like it. When the time for my Grade examination, I couldnt go through with it. I cried because I didnt want to play the piano anymore. In the end, I was spared from going for any more lessons. That was the end of my music career.

When I look back at that time, I ask myselfwhy did I do that for two years? I didnt think abut it then but the answer seems obvious nowI didnt think I had a choice.

Then for twelve years, I felt that my life had no meaning. I felt that I really couldnt go on. I kept waiting for something outside of me to happen to make me happy. But the universe intervened (干涉) and sent me help disguised in the form of a sales call.

One afternoon a lady called me about a Tony Robbins event called Unleash the Power Within. Part of me was curious; but when the time came, I still was considering if I should go in or go to the beach instead. I made a choice to give it a try. In that hall filled with 4,000 people, Tony gave me back something I never knew I had---the power of choice. I left there renewed and refreshed, excited about my new life, knowing from that point forward that in life there are no victims, only choices. To this day, I sometimes wonder how differently my life would have turned out if I had missed taking that sales call.

Sometimes in life, we are stuck in certain situations and it may seem that there is nothing we can do about it. Just remember that everything in life is about choice. You can make a choice to remove yourself from any situation that is not serving you right now. The question is---will you?

【题目】Although Zhang Bichen, a 25-year-old songstress with a powerful yet delicate voice, took the crown of this year’s The Voice of China, runner-up Parhat Halik, 32, seems to have impressed more of the audience with his husky(沙哑的), natural and, most of all, distinguished sound.

Despite his unmistakable voice, Parhat Halik’s music is also special. Generally, it’s rock but influenced and mixed by different styles within the genre. Read on and find out where Halik’s music gets its inspiration.

Blues rock

Representative artists: Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, John Maye

Blues rock combines improvisation (即兴创作) with rock ’n’ roll style. It began to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the US, when rock bands such as the Rolling Stones experimented with music from older African-American blues musicians. It borrows the idea of instrumental combo(小型乐队)from blues but is played at a faster tempo and louder volume, distinguishing it from the blues. The sound is created with the electric guitar, piano, bass and drums.

As the root for several contemporary rock styles, such as heavy metal and hard rock, blues rock had a rebirth in the early 2000s, with artists including John Mayer and The Black Keys.

Folk rock

Representative artists: Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds

As the name indicates, folk rock is a genre combining elements of folk music and rock music. Also developed in the mid-1960s, folk rock was pioneered by the US band The Byrds, who began playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylan-penned material with rock instruments, in a style heavily influenced by The Beatles and other British bands.

The genre was most popular among teenagers and college students at the time, because it includes both rock ’n’ roll’s free spirit and the more serious, culturally authentic and socially aware sounds of folk music.

Soft rock

Representative artists: Bryan Adams, Eagles, Elton John, James Blunt

Compared to hard rock’s loud and aggressive nature, soft rock, or light rock, uses the techniques of rock music to compose a softer and less threatening sound. Derived from folk rock, it uses acoustic instruments(原声乐器)and puts more emphasis on melody and harmony.

Although the genre gets quite a bad name among hardcore rock fans, who see it as “wimpy”(软弱无力), it doesn’t mean soft rock is without merit (优点). Soft rock songs often deal with themes like romantic relationships and everyday life in a thoughtful and complex way hard rock simply couldn’t.

【1】Which of the artists playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylan-penned material with rock instruments first?

A. The Beatles. B. The Byrds

C. Eagles. D. Guns N’ Roses.

【2】We can learn from the passage that ______________.

A. the Rolling Stones ignored African-American musicians’ work

B. soft rock focus more on melody and culture awareness

C. blues rock gained a second birth in the 2000s

D. all the three rock styles developed in America

【3】What is hardcore rock fans’ attitude towards soft rock?

A. They quite admire it.

B. They can hardly tolerate it.

C. They are indifferent to it.

D. They misunderstand it.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?

A. To help readers become rock ’n’ roll artists

B. To inform the readers of the result of The Voice of China

C. To introduce some common rock music to the readers

D. To offer the readers some suggestions of composing rock music
