2． For those who are deaf or have hearing loss，making and enjoying music can be a challenge.However，that hasn't stopped Dame Evelyn Glennie from achieving success.
Scottish-born Dame Evelyn Glennie is one of the world's most recognized percussionists （打擊樂器樂手）.However，she started going deaf at the age of eight due to a nerve disease.At 12，she totally lost her hearing.
At first，Glennie was desperate.But her percussion teacher at school taught her to feel particular notes.For example，she had to place her hands on a wall，and he would play two notes on two timpani.He would then ask her which was the higher note and where she felt the vibration（振動） .Through trials and errors，she managed to distinguish the pitch（音高）of notes by associating where on her body she feels the sound.Thanks to her perfect pitch and the fact that she performs barefoot，Evelyn "hears" the sound.Together with her lip-reading skills，and amazing musicianship，she has conquered any troubles and inconvenience caused by her impairment.
Till now，Glennie has performed with almost all the major orchestras （管弦樂隊） globally.Besides classical music，she is famous for partnerships with pop and rock artists like Sting and Bjork.Glennie's works has earned her over 100 music awards，including two Grammys.She even led 1，000 drummers in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
At the age of 58 this year，Glennie's mission now is to "teach the world to listen，" to improve communication by encouraging everyone to discover a new way of listening. "It's important to grab on to any opportunity that comes your way，but you also need to create your own opportunities，" says Evelyn. "It's a personal time to reflect on the impact you might have on other people as well.I don't know if age plays a part in it，because I feel as though I haven't really achieved very much and there's still so much to do! "
（1）How could Glennie identify different notes as a deaf person？
A．By reading her teacher's lips.
B．By putting her hands on a wall.
C．By applying her amazing musicianship.
D．By feeling the vibration through her body.
（2）What does the underlined word "impairment" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Sorrow.
B．Mismatch.
C．Abnormality.
D．Fear.
（3）Which of the following best describes Glennie's character？

D．Talented Percussionist：Say "No" to Age組卷：11引用：3難度：0.5 -
3． When preparing fruit and vegetables，many people will peel（削皮） them.But often，it's not necessary.
Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of nutrition like vitamins.Not consuming enough of these nutrient-rich foods is linked to an increased risk of diseases.Eating 400 g of fruit and vegetables a day，as the WHO recommends，is difficult to achieve for many people.So could consuming fruit and vegetable peels help with this issue by adding important nutrients to people's diets？
They can certainly contribute.For example，nutritionally important amounts of vitamins and minerals are found in the peels of seven root vegetables：beetroot，field mustard，wild carrot，sweet potato，radish，ginger and white potato.And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more vitamin C，267% more vitamin K，20% more calcium and 85% more fibre than peeled apples.
Another reason is the effect on the environment.According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization，uneaten food，including peels，generates 8%-10% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.New Zealand alone reports an annual wastage of 13，658 tonnes of vegetable peels and 986 tonnes of fruit peels.
Given the nutrient content of peels and its contribution to food waste，why do people peel fruit and vegetables at all？Some must be peeled as the outer parts don't taste nice，are hard to clean or cause harm.Also，peeling may be a necessary part of the recipe，for example，when making mashed potato.But many peels，such as carrot and kiwifruit，are suitable to be eaten，yet people habitually peel them anyway.Some people peel fruit and veg because they are concerned about pesticides（殺蟲劑） on the surface.
If you want to find out more about fruit and vegetable peels and what to do with it，there is lots of advice online including help on how to deal with peels.With a little investigation and creativity，you can help to reduce waste and increase you fruit and vegetables intake.
（1）Where is the text most probably taken from？
A．A cooking guidebook.
B．A life magazine.
C．A poster about environment.
D．An ad about a health website.
（2）How can eating fruit and vegetable peels benefit people's health？
A．Not eating the peels will lead to higher risks of some diseases.
B．Some significant vitamins and minerals are only found in peels.
C．Eating peels can increase people's intake of important nutrients.
D．Peels have more nutrients than fruit and vegetables' inner parts.
（3）What is the author's purpose in mentioning New Zealand？
A．To highlight the serious food problem in the country.
B．To draw our attention to greenhouse gas emissions.
C．To call on New Zealanders not to throw away peels.
D．To show peels' negative impact on the environment.
（4）Why do so many people peel carrots？
A．Because some recipes tell them to do so.
B．Because the outer parts are hard to clean.
C．Because there exists too much pesticides.
D．Because they're used to peeling vegetables.組卷：14引用：4難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
When Donald Crouch first encountered Jim in his English class in rural Michigan，he saw an unhappy boy，who'd gone deep into a cocoon （繭） of silence.
Donald might have assumed that Jim was bored or uninterested or even backward.Certainly，he appeared to be all of those things.
But there was something in the young boy that lit up whenever the subject turned to poetry.It was unnoticeable，but Donald could see a shift in the boy's attitude—a quiet but unmistakable enthusiasm that accompanied any discussion of Chaucer，Shakespeare，or Tennyson.A twinkle in his eyes would appear whenever Donald lectured on matters of English verse，something which proved to be most appealing to the otherwise disappointed teacher.Although Jim was interested in all manners of poetry，he seemed particularly excited when Donald would discuss Walt Whitman，that greatest of American poets.
One day Donald kept Jim after school and learned that Jim stuttered（口吃）.Donald understood that Jim had accepted the written word because the spoken word had escaped him.The next day，Donald told the pupils to write a poem.Jim turned his assignment in，and Donald was surprised by how good it was.
The teacher read the assignment over and over again in disbelief and，truth be told，with a little bit of envy；how could a student from the middle of nowhere come up with something like this？He turned his head once again to the boy and began to have an idea.
注意：（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150 左右；
（2）續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。
Donald had noticed earlier that Jim's stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud.___________
The whole class turned their attention to Jim.___________組卷：10引用：2難度：0.5
