24、His talent and charm have made him the No.1Chinese classical artist in the world. And he played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.

Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras (管弦乐队），making his first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.

Lang's charm and fondness make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, "The Lang Lang effect" drives 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.

Now in China, children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold-out tours across Chinese cities. But can China ever introduce its own music to the West? Lang is trying. His cooperation（合作） with the London Symphony Orchestra this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.

Behind the success , however, is a surprising story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition(抱负) and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He got his right hand hurt six years ago and had to rest. "That was the best month," he says.

【1】What is the main reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?

B. He usually plays with the world's top orchestras.

B. He had a good rest and enjoyed himself because he got his right hand hurt. .

C. He has had a great musical ambition since his childhood.  .

D. He first appeared in the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

25、Dear readers,

26、The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times, with the history of at least several thousand years.

There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters: there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese character; the ancient practice of knot-tying; the eight trigrams(八卦); and ancient painting legends to name a few. It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted or carved to describe nature or their lives. Other ancient cultures developed picture-based writing systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs(象形文字) of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilization. Hanzi, however, is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive.

Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world. Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones. These 3000-year-old symbols, known as, jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations. Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty of food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Oinshihuang.

When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated. However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts, known as radicals(部首), which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!

As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate China’s fascinating culture. And, as China’s culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile Chinese characters(hanzi)have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices. And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.

【1】Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage?

A．Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.

B．Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.

C．Because he helped developed hanzi in a more steady form.

D．Because he unified China and created hanzi.

【2】What can we learn from the underlined sentence(划线句子)in Paragraphr4?

A．Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.

B．Chinese characters are composed of radicals.

C．Chinese characters can be combined.

D．Radicals can be combined into thousands of hanzi only.

【3】What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph?

A．The relation between Chinese characters and Chinese culture.

B．Tips for foreigners on how to learn Chinese well.

C．Another Chinese traditional culture.

D．The origin of Chinese characters.

【4】What is NOT true about the jiaguwen?

A．The jiaguwen is known as the oldest Chinese character,

B．From the jiaguwen, we can know how ancient Chinese saw the world.

C．The jiaguwen was invented 3000 years ago.

D．We can find the jiaguwen on turtle bones.

27、Have you ever recycled? To recycle is to take rubbish and make it into something new. Recycling is good for our planet because it makes litter  into something that we can use again. Recycling also helps to clean up the litter that makes our streets look dirty.

All kinds of things can be recycled. The most common materials(材料) like glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these products are broken down to make the same kinds of products. An example of this type of recycling is using paper to make more paper. Garbage can also be broken down to make completely new items(物品) as well!

Some items, like glass, can be recycled forever（永远）! We can use glass items, then break them down and use them again and again. Aluminum(铝)cans are one of the most successful recycled metals. They can be recycled again and again and nearly 60% of all cans have been recycled.

The average（平均） family of four can produce  nearly 2,000 pounds of garbage each year. As time goes on, we have fewer places to put all of this garbage in. Recycling is one way to limit（限制）the amount of garbage we need to put into the land.

The next time you toss a can or bottle into the dustbin, look to see if there is a recycling triangle on the label. It is the international sign for recycling. It means that the item you are going to throw in the dustbin could be recycled .

【1】To recycle is to ______.

A. Clean up the dirty things on the street

B.Find a land to put into the garbage

C. Make new things out of litter

【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE in this passage?

28、阅读下面的材料，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或填入括号内所给单词的正确形式（每空最多不超过三个单词）。

When the sun goes down and the sky gets dark, people go back home. For them, this is the 【1】 (begin) of the day. But this is not the end of the day for some people. For them, work just 【2】 (start) because they are night workers. When almost all people are sleeping, night workers are working.

29、Smiling

One day, Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework: homework on happiness. Her pupils would be “happiness ________”, and they wanted to see what would happen when they tried to bring happiness to those around them. As part of their homework, all the students did really wonderful things, but what Carla Chalmers did made everyone ________. Several days after the homework had been handed out, Carla carried a big bag to the classroom.

“Here in this bag I have all the happiness I’ve collected so far,” she said ________. On seeing this, everyone was filled with expectation, but Carla didn’t want to show anyone what was in the bag. Instead, she pulled out a small box and gave it to her teacher with a big smile. When Miss Ellis had taken the box, Carla took an instant camera out of her own pocket and stood with it at the ready.

“Open it, Miss Ellis.”

The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside. A big smile ________ on her face, and at that moment Carla took a photo, Carla’s photo came out of the camera immediately, and she ________ it to Miss Ellis along with a sheet of paper. The teacher read the paper in silence, and when she had finished, she pointed at the ________.

“Oh, So it’s…”
