“I"m doing my best to take young people away from harmful things,” said Tabb. His program, "The Roots of Music”, offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation"s highest murder rate(凶***率).
Tabb chose to target 9to14yearolds with his program. “That"s a very important time in your life,” he said. “If I catch them then, I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”
Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday, all year round. They work with tutors(助教) on schoolwork, practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people, Tabb"s group is able to provide bus transportation, instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why you"re not here,” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “You"re always learning something new,”he said. “That"s what keeps the kids coming back every day.”
But the program isn"t only about fun. “Music is about discipline (纪律),”said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of situps(仰卧起坐), pushups(俯卧撑) or tasks like picking up grains of rice — but these measures aren"t just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I don"t say that I"m saving lives,” he said. “I say I"m giving life — a whole different life of music.”

解析
试题分析:本文主要介绍了Tabb的音乐计划,他希望用自己的这个计划来帮助年轻人不要误入歧途,学会很多新的东西。
小题1:B 推理题。根据本句He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation"s highest murder rate(凶***率).可知在9-14岁是孩子最容易误入歧途的时间,他希望用自己的行为来挽救这些孩子,故B正确。
小题2:A 推理题。根据第三段第一行Tabb chose to target 9to14yearolds with his program说明他的学生了9-14岁的孩子,那么A项中的8岁不符合年龄要求。故A项符合题目要求。
小题3:C 细节题。根据第四段最后2行“You"re always learning something new,”he said. “That"s what keeps the kids coming back every day.”说明在这里可以学到新的东西是孩子们经常来的原因,故C正确。
小题4:D 推理题。根据文章最后一段But the program isn"t only about fun. “Music is about discipline (纪律),”和Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future.说明他想通过自己的音乐让孩子们学会纪律,学会在未来做一个好人。故D项正确。
小题5:A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了Tabb的音乐计划,他希望用自己的这个计划来帮助年轻人不要误入歧途,学会很多新的东西。故A正确。
点评:本文主要介绍了Tabb的音乐计划。本文主旨鲜明,很容易在文中找到答案。做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。然后带着问题,再读全文,找出答题所需要的依据,完成阅读任务。

Many of these books help people use their time better. Some people want books which will give them useful information about sports, hobbies, and travel. Other people use their free time to make repairs and improvements on their homes.

Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN-have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.
By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.

A.save expense and avoid risks |
B.get free and useful pictures |

D.satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen |

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in touch we become, the more is expected of us in work . ”
小题1:With a smartphone the average UK working day is _______.
A.2 hours | B.9 to 10 hours | C.11 to 12 hours | D.24 hours |
A.prefer to check emails in the morning |
B.are crazy about different smartphones |
C.shorten their normal working hours |
D.work extra hours with smartphones |
A.They are unimportant for most of people. |
B.They have disadvantages for some companies. |
C.They make it impossible for people to rest. |
D.They are useful to improve a work ability. |
A.In a science fiction. | B.In a newspaper. |
C.In a travel magazine. | D.In a storybook. |
Cao and her two children from Anhui Province were traveling on board the “Liaoludu 7”on February 22.They were among the first people on the ship who were rescued by lifeboats. Cao’s one-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.
The “Liaoludu 7”was traveling in the Bohai Straits(渤海海峡)from Lushun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 2:30 pm and tilted(倾斜)on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry(渡船)began to sink.
“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump onto a “ lifeboat.” Cao recalled.
Upon receiving the urgent appeal, China Marine Search and Rescue Center(中国海上搜救中心)immediately informed the State Council(国务院).The center sent eight lifeboats to the sinking ship and asked for help form the Ministry of Agriculture, the Navy and nearby fishing boats.
After more than four hours of fighting against strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were recovered. All but four survived. These four died after spending too long in the freezing waters, according to a spokesperson for the Beijing-based center.

“I can imagine how they have suffered from being abandoned. They lead a harsh life wandering around,” said the student..Shi is one of a dozen students at the university volunteering to feed the stray cats during the winter break.
Recruited by the Stray Cat Rescue Association at the university through a Bulletin Board System (BBS), he took turns with other students to care for the homeless animals. It is estimated that there are more than 100 stray cats on the campus of Peking University.
Jin Jing, 18, an economics freshman at the university, cared for the cats for two days. “At around 5 pm I cycled to the 22 feeding sites on campus marked on a special map,” she said. “At each site I left some cat food and water.”Jin was excited when the animals rushed to her feet. “Some are shy and timid, and others are more outgoing. Each of them has their own name such as ‘Sweet Orange’ or ‘Karl Marx’,” she said. “By feeding them I learned to respect life.”
Liu Chenhao, a senior electronics and computer science major, who is in charge of the association, said that feeding was just one part of their responsibilities.“Our aim is to keep the stray cats in check and maintain harmony between them and the students on campus,” he said.
The organization also takes cats to the animal hospital to be treated for oral and skin disease. Another of its major tasks is to find new homes for the cats by uploading their photos and information online.
“We’re very careful when selecting owners and ask them lots of questions to ensure that they won’t desert their cat under any circumstances, such as when they move house or get married,” Liu said. But he stressed that their acts of kindness shouldn’t encourage anyone to abandon their cat. “A cat’s normal life expectancy is more than 10 years, but a stray one may survive for only two or three.” (365words)
