It is always wonderful to have _1_ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to _2_ in the life of every child.As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music _3_ the soul. It can _4_ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the _5_ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it. For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach _6_ students one afternoon a week. One of my most _7_ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We _8_ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students _9_ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to _10_ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she _11_ said or sang a word.One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in _12_ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart _13_ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also _14_. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big _15_ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had _16_ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, _17_ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the _18_ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to _19_ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs _20_. 1. A. lateB. formerC. recentD. present2.

Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if youre surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing."One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration.""Ive experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.21What can we learn from some recent studies? A. Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable. B. Students of different races are prejudiced against each other. C. Interracial lodging does more harm than good. D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.22What does Sam Boakyes remark mean? A. White students tend to look down upon their black peers. B. Black students can compete with their white peers academically. C. Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.23What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"? A. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race. B. Students of different races are required to share a room. C. Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen. D. Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.【答案】DDA【解析】文章介绍了在大学中没有按照种族来划分宿舍，带来的种种后果。79D 细节题。根据第一段第二行can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict.以及在后两段中所举之例说明这样做既有优点也有缺点，会有很多不同的结果，故D正确。80D 推理题。if youre surrounded by whites, you have something to prove.这句指在白人的包围下，黑人需要证明自己的能力，这样就激发了黑人更努力来取得成功，故D正确。81A 细节题，根据文章倒数第四段One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly,"说明学校没有考虑种族就胡乱分配宿舍是definition of integration的定义。BSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，“operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine，” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family，and youll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation. Its an inheritable trait，” says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance (支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other.Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor. Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，“have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power，” says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious.”24.Bossy children like Stephen Jackson_.A. make good decisionsB. show self-centerednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear25.The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment26. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents_.A. should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children27. What is the passage mainly about？A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C. What leads to childrens bossy behavior.D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.【答案】BABC【解析】文章主要讲述了究竟是什么导致了孩子bossy的行为，原来的父母对他们的放纵，对他们的要求不够严格，导致他们缺乏安全感。【小题1】B 推理题。根据第一段第三行operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine说明Stephen Jackson非常自我，故B正确。【小题2】A 猜测句意题。根据前一句“Examine the extended family，and youll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation.说明这些孩子的上一辈中都有一个bossy的长辈，这样的孩子天生就有这样的天性。故A正确。【小题3】B 推理题。根据文章最后一段2,3行They bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were说明他认为父母应该对孩子更严格，因为父母对孩子宽松让孩子感觉没有安全感，会很焦虑。故B正确。【小题4】C 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了究竟是什么导致了孩子bossy的行为，原来的父母对他们的放纵，对他们的要求不够严格，导致他们缺乏安全感。CIf you havent heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, youve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or Road Rage recently if you drive at all. While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior. Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified（增强） in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage. You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out! Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are easily influenced by Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another drivers rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.28.ThefirstsentenceinPara.1impliesthat_. A.onemaybeangeredbymediareportsandwantstoavoidthem B.themediainventedtheterm“RoadRage”onlyafewmonthsago C.RoadRagehasreceivedmuchmediacoverageinthelastfewmonths D.peoplenotinterestedinthemediaknowlittleaboutrecenthappenings29.Theunderlined word“spell”inPara.3means _.

Shouting at another driver.31.Thelastparagraphisintendedto_. A.tellpeoplehowtodealwithRoadRage B.informpeoplehowaggressivedriverscouldbe C.showpeoplehowtocontrolthemselveswhenangry D.warnpeopleagainsteyecontactwithanotherdriver【答案】CBDA 【解析】【小题1】C 推断题。议论文题目必然和文章主旨有直接关联。整篇文章讲述关于Road Rage行车安全的相关问题，所以排除完全无关的A选项和D选项。B选项的重点是media，C选项的重点是Road Rage，所以选C选项，与文章内容直接相关。【小题2】B 词汇题。所有词汇题的思路与完形填空解题思路完全一致。这里提问动词，动作发出者是these factors，即前文中提到的stress压力、anxiety焦虑和temper脾气，动作承受者是Road Rage，所以答案为B，压力、焦虑和脾气造成Road Rage
