13.Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events--love,sadness,good times,and bad times.It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk.As life becomes more complicated(復(fù)雜),it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
Country music,sometimes called country-western,comes from two kinds of music.One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.The other is traditional cowboy music from the west.The singers usually play guitars,and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.At first city people said country music was low class.It was popular mostly in the South.But during World War II,thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories.They took their music with them.Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps(軍營(yíng))in the South.They learned country music.Slowly it became popular all over the country.
Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada-in small towns and in New York City,among black and white,and among educated and uneducated people.About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day.English stars sing it in British English,and people in other countries sing it in their own languages.The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.
32.It can be learned from the passage that country music comes fromD.
A.the Northeast and Midwest
B.factories and army camps in the South
C.real-life stories in small towns
D.the Appalachian Mountains and the West
33.Before World War II country music was popular mainly inA.

解答 32.D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.The other is traditional cowboy music from the west.可知,鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)主要來(lái)自于阿巴拉契亞山和西部地區(qū),故答案為D.
33.A,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子It was popular mostly in the South.可知,二戰(zhàn)前鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)主要流行于南方地區(qū),故答案為A.
34.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子But during World War II,thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories可知,二戰(zhàn)期間很多南方人去了東北部和中西部因?yàn)樗麄兿肴ツ堑霉S工作,故答案為B.
35.B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子English stars sing it in British English,and people in other countries sing it in their own languages可知,鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)并不是必須是英語(yǔ)的,其他國(guó)家的人用他們自己的語(yǔ)言唱,因此答案為B.

2.I've heard that it's better to give than to receive,but I think that both of them have their special magic.
When I was nine years old,my parents went to work in a faraway(遙遠(yuǎn)的) state.Before they left,they took me and my younger sister to the shelter of my grandparents,who would take care of our needs with meals,love and transportation to and from a lot of activities and lessons.At that young age,I had no choice but to become independent,although sometimes I felt upset,lonely and angry.I knew that if no one could meet my needs,I would have to become completely self-sufficient(自給自足).Believe it or not,I got a little carried away.Finally,I become so successful that I could take care of everyone in my life.
Once,I took my son to see Santa Claus.When my son wanted to buy the picture that was taken,I opened my wallet,only to find that I didn't have enough money.When I got to the checkout counter to take back the picture,I was told that a man in line ahead of me had seen me counting my change and had paid for the picture for me,The color rushed into  my checks when other customers strangely stared at me.I realized that it was okay to let someone do something for me,even if I could have done it myself.
I believe that we are all in this wonderful world together.It's not about my strength and independence or how much I have.It's about allowing the giver to be blessed when the gift is received.Now I know that giving and receiving are two halves of a whole,each incomplete without the other.
28.Why was the author brought up by her grandparents?A
A.Her parents had no time to take care of her.
B.Her mother wanted to teach her to be independent.
C.Her grandmother was more experienced than her parents.
D.Her grandmother could meet her different needs in life.
29.According to Paragraph2,what does the underlined sentence mean?D
A.She became very proud of herself.
B.She put much effort in helping others.
C.She left her parents when she was little.
D.She did more than what she had expected.
30.What made the man think the author couldn't afford the picture?D
A.She forgot to bring her wallet.
B.She worn in old and dirty clothes.
C.She tried to take back the picture.
D.She counted the change behind the man.
31.How did the author feel when she knew someone had paid for the picture?C
A.Excited.
B.Worried.
C.Embarrassed.
D.Angry.
