The finest and most sought-after violins were handcrafted by an Italian violin maker over 250 years ago. The man’s name was Antonius Stradivarius. He was born in 1644 and began his career 21 a violin maker’s apprentice (学徒). Working on his own by 1680, he became determined to make 22 that could reproduce tones as rich as those produced by the human voice.
He 23 several shapes and styles for his violins until he arrived at a design that pleased him. During his career he crafted 1,100 violins. Those in 24 have become treasured possessions.Unfortunately, the secret of the Stradivarius violin died with its maker. During his lifetime Stradivarius kept his notes safely 25 , even his two sons, who helped him in his workshop, did not know all the steps involved in each violin’s construction.
Through the years, many experts have offered 26 explanations for the unique tone of a “Strad”. Some say it is due to the violin’s shape. Others suggests that the secret 27 the special properties(特性) of the wood, which Stradivarius obtained from native Italian trees that no longer exist. The most widely accepted explanation is that it is created by the varnish（清漆） that
the 28 used to coat his violins. Chemists have analyzed as closely as possible the varnish and have found its 29 has improved the sound of many violins. 30 , no other violin maker has been able to fully reproduce the tone of the Stradivarius’s violins.21. A. with B. as C. for D. from
22. A. Instruments B. facilities C. equipment D. tools
23. A. investigated B. surveyed C. tested D. experimented
24. A. fashion B. existence C. possession D. use
25. A. protected B. buried C. hidden D. covered
26. A. possible B. accurate C. detailed D. persuasive

28. A. master B. violinist C. expert D. user
29. A. attention B. application C. invention D. foundation
30. A. Additionally B. Luckily C. Therefore D. Still
答案
解析
能说他从一个学徒开始了他的生涯，应该是＂当学徒＂．22.A violin 是乐器，应该是instrument.
23.C 他实验了几种形状和风格．意思是他做了不同形状和风格的小提琴并进行了实验（以发现哪种更好）．A. B只能表明调查（以获得事实和信息），experiment 后面要接on, test 有＂实验；测试＂的意思．
24.B现存的小提琴
成了宝贵的财产．因为在介绍250年前一个著名的小提琴制作手，所以用＂现存＂合乎题意．25.C Strad 没有把制作的方法让人知道，所以是kept his notes safely hidden. 其他的确几个词都不能说明他人不知道这个事实．
26.A下面提供了几种解释，但都是不太确定的，因此是possible,其他的三个选项都和实际的情况冲突．
27.D.（小提琴独特的音质的）秘密就在于．．．．．．
28.A ＂大师＂，指的是Strad.
29.B化学家仔细分析了清漆并发现清漆的使用改进了小提琴的音质．application 在这里是＂使用；应用＂的意思．要不断提醒学生在学习过程中一词多意的现象，多积累．
30.D still 表示转折关系．从上文中可知有很多种关于为什么Strad制作的小提琴的音质那么独特的解释，但却没有任何其他人可以完全（让自己制作的小提琴）发出同样的声音．．

Asthma attacks like Jeremy increase in September and October. More than six times as many asthma sufferers who are elementary-school age need hospital treatment in the fall as in the summer.
Experts believe many factors can contribute to back-to-school asthma. Kids get together in close spaces, they start passing viruses around. A viral infection can cause an asthma attack. There are also certain fall allergies(过敏症)that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides, the stress of school can make asthma worse.
Parents can play a big role in helping kids with asthma start the school year right. Dawne Gee’s10-year-old son, Alexander, has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts, she tells school workers in writing about her son’s asthma.
The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication(药物治疗)with them at school. Alexander’s mom makes sure he has his inhaler(人工呼吸器)with him when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are allowed to carry their inhalers at school.
The American Lung Association says that about 6.2 million American children suffer from asthma. Asthma is the chronic (慢性) illness that causes students to miss the most days of school. There are many things that schools can do to help students control their asthma
小题1:The passage mainly deals with _______.
A. how to prevent and treat Asthma. what Asthma is and its symptoms

| C．asthma attacks made them like physical exercise |

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt"s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
（1） Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
（2） It can boost （促进） productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan
Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
（3） Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similarly. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.
（4） It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient （接受者）。
（5）So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed. I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
小题1:What the grandfather was most worried about was ______.
| A．the spread of the world war | B．the safety of his two cousins |
| C．a drop in his living standards | D．his relatives killing each other |
| A．order for army service | B．train ticket for Europe |
| C．letter of rejection | D．note of warning |
