A recital 31 I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform

15、before strangers. Each year I 32 ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”. And each year he would shake his head, muttering(嘀咕) 33 about building self-confidence and working toward a 34 . So it was with really great 35 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand,

16、 and 36 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 37 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.

I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mothers voice changed my wo

31、rld.Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskeys language a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and her own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened ma

32、ny times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader.Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea

33、 that started something big.What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, lets make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Lets have a holiday for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boys wish for everyone to b

34、e able to have a read aloud every day.Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.Children wh

35、o grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is t

36、hat it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.56. How did the authors parent change her life?A. By reading aloud to her.B. By listening to her reading.C. By buying many books for her.D. By encouraging her to read aloud.57. According to Paragraph 3, the author was probabl

Reading aloud isnt actually simple.D. Kids should try to change the world. CAmerican and British people both speak English of cour

39、se. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say I dunno in

40、stead of I dont know. Or they may say Whaddya say? instead of What did you say? However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the a in half like the a in cat. But t

41、he British say the a in half like the o in soft. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabu

42、lary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you phone them up. In America, you give them a call. When you are saying goodbye

43、in England you might say Cheerio! In America you might say See you later. Therere also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb do when they ask a question. They say Do you have a storybook? But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say Have you a

44、 storybook?All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such

45、as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.61.What does the author think of the differences between American and British English?A. American and British English are the same languages.B. American and British English are quite different.

46、C. Although American English came from the British English, there are still some important differences.D. There are slight differences between American and British English.62. What does the underlined word separately mean?A. together. B. one by one. C. in common.D. in different ways.63. What does th

47、e underlined sentence The same thing is true of some British words in America. mean ?A. The words of American and British English are the same.B. The spelling of American and British English are the same.C. Although they dont sound the same, the words are the same.D. Some British English words are n

48、ot used in American English.64. How many ways are used to talk about the differences between American and British English in the passage?A. One.B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.65. Why has English changed over time?A. Geography plays an important role in the changing.B. Different people have different livi

49、ng habits.C. Different people have different jobs.D. The income of the native English speakers is different.DHow often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys

50、what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so mu

51、ch without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do；he is continually being told not

52、 to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he

53、 used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

A. only children are interested in life B. life for a child is comparatively easy C. a child is always loved whatever he does D. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return67.

60、ed for changesAlso scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignoreAt such times，there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problemsNew safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；

61、however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously illToday many governments have special departments which protect customers and workersIn the US，for example，there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problemsIt also mak
