二、阅读理解
A
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of the steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument that man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.
11.What is the writer trying to do in this passage
A.Describe what a pen looks like. B.Introduce the history of the pen.
C.Advise people to prepare a new pen. D.Show the importance of the pen.
12.The word "mountains" in the third paragraph refers to(指代) "something to _____".
A.explain the use of electricity B.lower the students' scores
C.stop the social development D.change the law of the country
13.The lawyers started to write the law of the country _____.
A.before their thoughts were changed B.when papyrus was first used
C.as soon as they recorded their names D.after they took an important exam
14.The underlined word "utilitarian" in the passage means "_____".

B
A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach (巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to go to work.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician's performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post (《华盛顿邮报》)as part of a social experiment (实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing
16.When did the story take place
A. On a cold morning. B. On a warm afternoon.
C. On a rainy evening. D. On a windy weekend.
17.Who was the first person to notice the musician playing
A.A young woman. B.A small girl.
C. A young man. D.A middle-aged man.
18.How many people gave response to the musician's performance
A.6. B.20. C.26. D.45.
19.Who was Joshua Bell
A. A well-known reporter. B. A poor artist.
C. An excellent violinist. D. A famous pianist.
20.What was the writer's purpose of writing this passage
A. To let us know the importance of saving time.
B. To make us pay more attention to nice things around.
C. To find out what people usually did in the underground.
D. To do a survey on how many people were interested in music.
