阅读理解 | Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby said that it had always been his mother"s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him on as a student. Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he just did not have any inborn ability. I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else. I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part in it. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save his poor performance through my "curtain closer". I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart"s. However, never had I heard a piece of Mozart"s played so well by someone at his age. I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. "I"ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How could you do it?" "Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could." | 1. Why might Robby have stopped coming to piano lessons suddenly? | A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it. B. His mother might have been seriously ill. C.

When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it"s hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University. It"s not just that we"re going to where the animals are; we"re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen"s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea, "I don"t think it"s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them." says Isaksen. "Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing." says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn"t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person. | 1.

A morning call. | 完形填空。 | It was a Friday morning and two lovers were going through a heart-searing breakup. As he was being 1 away from his lover,he banged on the fence 2 them.

When she finally recovered, she found herself talking with what seemed to be a French accent. "I phoned a friend the other day, and she spent the first ten minutes laughing," Hasnip said at the time, "while I have nothing against the French." Hasnip suffered from foreign accent syndrome(外国口音综合症), a rare condition in which people find themselves speaking their own language like someone from a foreign country. The condition usually occurs in people who have experienced a head injury or a stroke -a sudden loss of consciousness, sensation,or movement caused by a blocked or broken blood vessel(血管)in the brain. The condition was first identified during the Second World War in a Norwegian woman whose head was injured during an attack by the German military. The woman recovered but was left with a German-sounding accent, to the horror of fellow villagers who avoided her after that. Researchers have discovered that the combined effect of the damage to several parts of the brain makes victims lengthen certain syllable,mispronounce sounds,and change the normal pitch(音高)of their voice. Those changes in speech add up to what sounds like a foreign accent. Another researcher,a phonetician(语言学者),says victims of the syndrome don"t acquire a true foreign accent. Their strangely changed speech only resembles the foreign accent with which it has a few sounds in common. When an English woman named Annie recently developed foreign accent syndrome after a stroke, she spoke with what seemed to be a Scottish accent. However, Annie"s Scottish coworkers said she didn"t sound at all like a Scot. | 1. According to the passage,people __________ may have foreign accent syndrome. | A. whose parent has experienced a head injury B. who have lived in a foreign country for a long time C. who have lost their consciousness owing to a stroke D. who have learned foreign language from their coworkers | 2. If a person suffers foreign accent syndrome, __________. | A. his coworkers will be afraid of him and avoid contacting with him B. he has more chance of suffering stroke again C. he will speak a fluent foreign language like native speakers D. his speech only has a few sounds in common with the foreign accent | 3. Writing this passage,the writer"s main purpose is to __________ . | A. introduce foreign accent syndrome and some related information B. warn people not to be at the risk of experiencing a stroke C. make it clear that foreign accent syndrome can be cured D. tell a story of an injured woman during the Second World War |
