    阅读下面文章,然后从文后所给的A-E五个选项中选择正 确的小标题(其中一项多余) ,将其序号填入1一4题,并回答 5题。    

    Which musical instrument (乐器) shall I learn?

    Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument,but they are put off by one big problem: What to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide.

    1  

    Many instruments are of different use,but some are more fit for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like,so consider this before you start. 

    Do you want to play with other people?

    Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people,what sort of instrument would be most practical? Your first thought of playing the violin,for example,might disappear when too many people are competing with you!

    2  

    Many people live in flats and practicing the drums,for example,will drive your neighbors crazy.Think about where and when you are going to practice,as well as the feelings of the people you live with or near.

    3 

    This is quite a big factor. Many instruments can be bought at different prices.But this doesnl change the fact that many,such as the piano,are always pretty expensive.If you can’t afford your chosen instrument,will you be able to borrow someone else or hire one?

    4  

    Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It5s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher,preferably one who plays a few different instruments,who can give you some advice and push you in the right direc-tion.

   

5. Do you like music? Why or wliy not?(不少于 5 个单词)

Passage 10(2013江苏苏州常熟,C) 

    Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?

    Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very pop- ular.But,scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands.Be careful!Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons,over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.

    We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson,who treats many pa?tients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10— 15 minutes at once,we could have problems in the future.

    We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient he had treated was a five-year- old girl.She wasnH doing well at school,so her parents took her for treatrnent.lt was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands,she couldn’t hold a pencil.

    As mobile phones develop,they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and pla?ying video games can also cause the same problem.So,more and more people couldn’t find themselves with RSI.

    Many university students and teenagers have RSI,as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers,video games and mobile phones.If we don't do something about this,too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.


1. What causes the problem RSI?

  A. People make too many phone calls.

  B. Texting is becoming very popular.

  C. People type too many text messages.

  D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.

2. The little girl who Dr Harjeet Deepa treated couldn’t hold a pencil because   .

  A .she didn't go to school 

  B. she was only five years old 

  C. she had no thumbs at all 

  D. she suffered a lot from RSI You can probably read this passage in a .

   A. comic strip   B. story book

   C. science book   D. detective story

4. From the passage we know   .

  A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons 

  B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages 

  C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI

Passage 7 ( 2014 上海,D)

    根据短文内容回答问题。

    Chris is not a traditional explorer —he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

    Chris works for MSF,an organization also known as Doctors Without fiorcfers (无国界医生) .MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

    At the moment,there are over 27 ,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. Fhe organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and,of course,they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in (热市’白勺) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF^ work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task,he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks,they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster,such as an earthquake.

    But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris,the experience you gain is a great help in your career.Besides,just like the explorers of the past,you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet.Most importantly,at the end of each task,you have made a real difference to people's lives.

  1. Does Chris work for a large organization?

        

2. When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people?

   

3. How many medical staff are taking pari in MSF projects and tasks?
