A

Most great singers have had learnt singing lessons since childhood. Occasionally, though, a great voice comes through untrained, a voice that is unbelievably, naturally beautiful. Mahalia Jackson had such a voice. Without having had a lesson, she was able to attract listeners with her magnificent voice that never seemed forced or pretended.

Mahalia Jackson was a gospel singer. She preferred to sing the soul music or folk songs rather than popular songs or rocks. Since financial rewards didn’t concern her, she refused many opportunities to become wealthy. She sang for the simple country people and also for the rich, sometimes. But she never changed her style or her point of view.

At one point, after some discussions, her husband advised her to try out for a regular stage role. Then, she reluctantly paid 2. 5 dollars for a song sheet and went to the interview. All the judges agreed to offer her the part, for they were highly impressed. At this point, however ，her husband got a job ，and she turned down the offer. She wanted to go on singing at concerts.

Mahalia Jackson was a down-to-earth person, showing no self-pride. She considered her singing talent a gift from God and accepted it humbly. She would help box-office clerks and would even help sell tickets out front, if necessary. Therefore ，she was loved by people around her.

Perhaps Mahalia Jackson’s greatest moment was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration (就职仪式）The national anthem may never have been sung better.

31. Mahalia Jackson was popular among the people around her mainly because______

A. she never changed her style or point of view B. she was a gospel singer for country people

C. she was a down-to-earth person D. she had a very magnificent voice

32.As underlined in Paragraph 3，the word reluctantly means______.

A. unwillingly B. joyfully C. carefully D. thankfully

33. After all her success, Mahalia Jackson always remained______

A. critical B. modest C. shy D. uncertain

34.If Mahalia Jackson saw a young singer was very nervous before a concert, she would probably______.

A. amuse her B. ignore her C. encourage her D. train her

B

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:

Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.

Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people’s opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything，” he wrote to his nephew.

Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people’s home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”

Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas， and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶）your actions. ”

Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn’t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked，“I expect the best, not the worst. ”

35. The author mentioned Jefferson’s visit to Lafayette to show______.

A. Jefferson valued the importance of learning from others

B. Jefferson had a close relationship with his people

C. Jefferson was a great American president D. Jefferson was dissatisfied with Lafayette

36. Jefferson was determined never to answer his critics because______.

A. he believed silence was a source of strength

B. he thought it useless to defend obviously correct ideas

C. he knew the more he said ，the more people would resent him

D. he believed in conflict rather than in unquestioning agreement

37. When writing about Jefferson, the author’s voice sounds______.

A. negative B. positive C. interested D. excited

38. What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Jefferson’s Philosophy B. Jefferson’s Great Works

C. Jefferson’s Teaching D. Jefferson's Life Story

C

I had a terrible accident and was transferred via a helicopter to the Pittsburgh Hospital. I was conscious of my accident and friends, and family passing out at the sight of me. It was no picnic!

Late one evening ，I could hear the nurses in the next room repeatedly talking to a new patient. “Sandy, your mom is here. Open your eyes. ” This had gone on throughout the night. “Sandy ，your dad has some flowers for you. Open your eyes and look at them. ” I asked the nurse as she checked in on me what had happened to Sandy. The nurse said that Sandy was about 17 and had been involved in a car wreck. She was in a deep coma (昏迷）， not in good shape. Over the next few nights ，I started talking to Sandy. Although, it was said silently, I started to urge her to open her eyes or say something. Her parents visited with me one evening, and they seemed to be from an important family but in much grief, much like the faces of those that had visited me. And there I was speechless, immobile and had no real way of easing (减轻）their pain. It became very important to me to pray for her recovery, not my o
