单选题Steveland Morris is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and he'll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely (过早地，不到期地) and totally without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder—composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed (喝彩) for his outstanding contributions to the music world. As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent. Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica (口琴), and listened to the radio. Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir (唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊) of neighbors' homes. One of Stevie's sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie's talent and took him to audition (试听) for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown. Stevie recorded his first smash hit "Fingertips" in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie's story is music history.

单选题{{B}}Directions: {{/B}}{{I}} Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below.{{/I}} {{B}}Hong Yu{{/B}} It is the same spirit that will guide, in part, our children' s desire to serve in the military. Whether it is tradition, idealism, heritage, spirit, or just a dream—a hope—our children may wish to join the profession of arms, their success will be dependent on their education and training while in military, as well as the support of parents, family and friends. Our personal example and steadfastness in standing by our children, If they should choose the military, will go a long way to ensure their success. Military service opens our children to the opportunities for intellectual and professional development. If they chose the military, let us remember how we once served with pride and dignity; then let us honor and respect them for their service to our country. {{B}}Wang Ao{{/B}} Military life does not bring some material benefits, so perhaps you don' t intend on making the military your career. But, for the young person just out of high school, who does not really know what they want to do, the military offers other benefits.., non-material benefits that even Congress cannot touch. I'm talking about self-esteem, self-confidence, learning to be a team player and leadership training. {{B}}Chen Juan{{/B}} I am a father of three men, all of whom have chosen the military as their first adulthood experience without pressure from me. I simply showed them the pros and cons to military versus civilian life. We analyzed their objectives and determined what they needed to do to obtain them. No, not everyone is cut out to be in the military or has the military as a career. But my advice to parents is to let the young man or woman decide, not you. Don' t steer them away from the military because we have lost some material benefits. {{B}}Li Shu{{/B}} Parents who maintain that the military today is one of eroding pay and benefits and steer their kids from this opportunity ought to re-evaluate their own career. The civilian job market is not the same one as our parents had. Look around, and you don' t see people staying with the same company for 25 or 30 years (with vacation and sick pay, medical, dental and retirement benefits intact.) A military career offers stability and opportunity that isn't available to the most talented of individuals in the civilian job market. Spending 10, 15 or more years in the military and then embarking on a civilian career can be very rewarding, financially and otherwise, for the well prepared. {{B}}Peng Xue{{/B}} A college education is no longer the guarantee of a middle-class lifestyle. Today' s middle managers are entrepreneurial souls who are contract employees. Union jobs, with their associated benefits, are very few and far between. The military is still the outstanding value it is advertised to be. A three to six-year enlistment period before attending college or entering the job market will put the average youngster head and shoulders above his or her peers.{{I}} Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. {{/I}} {{B}}Statements{{/B}} A. Let your children make their own decision. B. The situation today is quite different form before. C. Do as I say, not as I do. D. Parents' attitude will play an important part in children' s success. E. As a veteran, I can not bear the thought of my own children' s serving in the military as I did. F. Military experience can be very valuable to young people. G. Young people will gain many non - material benefits from military experience.

单选题Play is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development. In recent years' research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby' s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of play development--from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed--to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

单选题Russian-born Max Weber grew up in New York, studied art there, and then went back to Europe to familiarize himself with contemporary artistic developments, on returning to the United States, Weber worked in the new styles he had discovered in Paris and soon became recognized as a pioneer of American abstract painting. An example of his work at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. is a 1915 painting entitled "Rush Hour, New York. " Using abstract, geometrical forms, Weber has expressed the movement, noise, and vibrancy of the great metropolis. The picture blends elements of two European styles: cub- ism, which shows subjects from a number of different angles of vision at the same time, and futurism, which portrays speed and objects in motion. Forceful lines and spiky forms throughout the composition convey the energy and vitality of the city, Weber expresses the city's diversity by juxtaposing forms with rounded and angular shapes to suggest specific elements of the urban landscape: skyscrapers, flashing lights, and hurrying people.
