I played near the end of it. After I played a while, I forgot the music. No matter how I tried, I couldnt think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianists music. When the whole concert was over, I cried hiding in my overcoat.Mrs. Ghent came to fort me. Then she told us about a ing concert, and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great, as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best tickets as my birthday present.Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before, and was impressed by the size as well. I dont remember what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years, and have been struck by his performance, but I dont remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is that Mrs. Ghent whispered to me from time to time that he had forgot something or played a wrong note, or had made some other kinds of mistakes.When I teach students to play the violin now, I tell my students who are in dread of making mistakes that if they arent going to make a mistake, they will never play beautiful music.25. When the concert was over, the writer cried because _.A. she felt sad about her performance.B. the concert was such a big successC. she found she didnt have a gift for musicD. no one tried to help her during her performance26. Mrs. Ghent decided to take the writer to that concert mainly because _.A. she wanted to celebrate her birthday.B. she wanted to teach her an important lessonC. she wanted to let her know she really cared about herD. she wanted to let her go to a perfect concert27. By going to the concert, the writer has most probably learnt that _.A. Mischa Elman is not a good performerB. there are no really great performersC. even the best players make mistakesD. Mischa Elmans performance cant impress others28. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A. Careful with.B. Interested in.C. Angry atD. Afraid ofCI have been to many places, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “How far is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!29. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.A. describe the place carefullyB. refer to recognizable buildings and placesC. show him a map of the placeD. tell him the names of the streets30. Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. Los Angeles.B. New York.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.31. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun32. What can we infer from the text?A. People have similar understanding of politeness.B. Its useful for travellers to know how to ask the way properly.C. Its necessary for travellers to understand cultural differences.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DHeres something to think about next time you ask your teacher for help: trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you try while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.This might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Dont be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He divided students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve maths problems with the teachers help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher.With the teachers help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did e up with a lot of good ideas.The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from the teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.Kapurs advice for kids is to put a lot of efforts into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all wont work,” says Kapur. “Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”33. Manu Kapur holds the view that _.A. students should try to solve problems by themselvesB. its necessary for students to ask for teachers helpC. students with teachers help have more good ideasD. students in the first group are clever than those in the second group34. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. paring different opinionsB. presenting research findingsC. showing scientific informationD. setting down general rules35. What is the best title for the text?A. Teachers role in schoolworkB. Practice makes perfectC. A surprising experimentD. Work your mind第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five Steps to Better HandwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate-it when its time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36 Here are five steps that really work!Get a great graspTry thishold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.

Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion（均衡）. 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space pletely. Those capital（大写的）letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.Slow downIf your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, its hard to control where you stop and start your letters.Lower the pressure 39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines.
