His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mothers birthday. The people at the recording studio(录音棚) liked his singing and his music. There was something different about it.

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago._44_The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this leads to new kinds of sicknesses._45_So they are called “diseases of civilization”Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists note that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none._46_However，a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meals，which had much less fat than domestic(家里的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products，and they made very little use of grains._47_We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C._48_But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did，cutting the amount of fatty，salty and sweet food.AStone Age people lived a simple life.BBut today，we enjoy eating a lot of these.CIn that case，they would live much healthier.DAncient people also got lots of physical exercise.EThese new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.FPeople today probably dont want to live like our ancestors.GModern people suffer from “diseases of civilization”四、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。Wise men dont always act as wise like we think. At times they maybe done something silly. Because we always think they are wellknown，so the stories about their foolish acts are still widely talked throughout the world in modern times. For example，Beethoven，the great composer of Austria was said to insisted on paying a waiter in a restaurant for a dinner he has not eaten or ever ordered. The British physicist Newton，while lived in London，cut two holes in the two doors of his flat，one big，the other small，so as for his two cats to pass through them. He only thought the bigger cat could not get through the smaller holes easily.四、书面表达请你以“Music and Life”为题，用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，要点如下：1音乐无处不在，音乐是我们生活的一部分；2音乐的形式与种类是十分丰富的，如，流行音乐、古典音乐、乡村音乐、民族音乐等；3音乐的功能也是多种多样的，在不同的场合听不同的音乐，会有不同的心情。如，音乐能让人快乐、激动，也能让人悲伤、失望等；4我对音乐的感觉。_参考答案一、 16A提示：下文中与此句对应的句子中一再出现type，kind等词，据此推知此处应为kind(类别)。17B提示：此句意为“第一类，古典音乐指的是几百年前起源于欧洲的管弦乐”。deal with意为“处理，对付”；refer to意为“指的是，涉及”；do with意为“处理”；date from意为“追溯到”。18D提示：此段是介绍古典音乐的。且上文中已出现了classical music，据此，此处应为classical(古典的)。19D提示：上文中尽管提到written一词，但那是对composed作出解释；据常识应该知道贝多芬和巴赫是著名的作曲家，不是作者(writer，author)，也不是诗人。20A提示：“用乐器演奏音乐”中的“演奏”一词应用play表达。21D提示：此处与下文的by a variety of wind instruments such as the flute并列，且the violin为一种“乐器”，因此答案为D项instruments(乐器)。22B提示：that替代被the限定的可数名词单数或不可数名词；one替代被不定冠词修饰的单数可数名词。此处空格前没有冠词，且前面的名词是不可数名词music，因此that与one均不合适。23A提示：下句：Every culture has its own special forms of traditional music，此句是解释传统音乐的文化根源、背景，而不是国家。24D提示：依据常识，每种文化的传统音乐有自己的表现形式(form)，而不是“方式”或“方法”(ways，means)。25C提示：此句中and连接的两个并列宾语的结构大致相同，句意为“每种文化都有自己独特的传统音乐形式，和演奏这些传统音乐独特的乐器。”因此答案为C项。special“专门的，特殊的”。26C提示：上文中出现了“第一”“第二”，因此许多学生会习惯地选上“第三”(third)，但如用third，其前应有the。表示三者或三者以上的“另外一种”用another。27A提示：根据常识可知，摇滚乐是一种节奏感很强、声音很大的音乐，排除B、D两项；loud用来形容乐曲音量“大”。28B提示：A、B、C三项都有“打，击”的含义，据常识可知音乐中的“打，击”是一种反复的、连续的动作，由此推知选B项beat“(流行音乐或摇滚音乐的)强节奏”。29C提示：据后面的electric guitars and electric pianos可知此处是指用电的或电动的乐器；electric意为“用电的，导电的，电动的”；electrical意为“有关电的”；electronic“电子的”。30D提示：句意为：“摇滚音乐在大约三四十年前开始(出现)。”come“到来”；produce“生产”；invent“发明”；begin“开始”。由句意可知，D项正确。31D提示：据后面的especially among young people可知此部分意为“摇滚音乐变得很受欢迎，很流行，特别是在年轻人中”。32C提示：文中只介绍了音乐中典型的几种，下文中还提到其他种类，把jazz定为最后的一种(last，final)是不恰当的。33B提示：此句意为“爵士乐很可能来自非洲”；come from.意为“来自”。34A提示：general意为“大致的，一般的”。根据选项中各词含义和下文中对其他种类的简略涉及可判断这种类型的分类是一般化的分类。35D提示：当然还有“其他”类型的音乐。二、A答案：36B提示：由第二段“The retired professor, Archibald AHill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story.”这一信息可知，B项正确。37B提示：由第二段“They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book.”这一信息可知，B项正确。38D提示：由第二段“.two of Mr.Archibald Hills aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked.”和“As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song Happy Birthday to the melody (曲调) of Good Morning to You to her little nephew (侄儿)”这两处信息可知D项正确。39D提示：由第二段“Ninetyseven years ago”和“A few years later little Archibald was born.”这两处信息可知，D项正确。B答案：40B提示：由第二段“His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing at church as a child.”这一信息可推知B项正确。41D提示：由第四段“It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music, which black people used to sing in the American South, music known as blues.”这一信息可知D项正确。42C提示：由最后一段“He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer.”这一信息可知C项正确。43A提示：由最后一段“But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock n Roll.”这一信息可知A项正确。三、4448 CEDBF四、 答案：第一句：第二个wisewisely；likeas第二句：donedo第三句：去掉so；talked后加about第四句：insisted前加上have；hashad第五句：livedliving；去掉them第六句：holeshole五、参考范文：Music and LifeAs for me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert or listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyones life, whether he realizes it or not. Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too in the rhythm (旋律) of the sea, the melody(曲调) of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meanings for everyone in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meanings for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.Once a great man said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
