Joe moved to Canada with his family at the age of 41. There were many stressful days for them in the beginning. Since Joe had no job, the savings (存款) they brought with them were diminishing rapidly.
One day, Joe went out to look for a job. As he walked, he saw many things on the street that people threw away on garbage (垃圾) day---TVs, washing machines and fridges. Joe could not believe his eyes. “Why would people throw away such things ” he asked himself. Joe saw a “new” television and decided to take it home to see what the problem was.
Since he was twelve years old, Joe’s main hobby has been electronics (电子产品). As a teenage boy, he began to repair radios, TVs and so on.
Joe brought the television home and turned it on. There were pictures on the screen, but there was no sound. He opened the back cover. Before long, Joe found the problem. The loudspeaker (扬声器) was broken. He went out again. Among the garbage on the street, he found a toy piano. He carried the piano home. Luckily its loudspeaker worked. Fifteen minutes later, Joe had a TV with both pictures and sound.
Joe began to question people about why they were throwing away electronics. The answer was the same from everyone: getting them repaired was too expensive. People would rather (宁愿) buy new products.
Joe made up his mind to open an electronics repair shop that would offer fair prices.
Today, Joe has been very successful in his new country. Instead of losing hope, he chose to make the best out of a difficult situation.

At New Visions School, hip hop therapy (嘻哈疗法) has become part of the school culture. Students rap (说唱) about being stressed about grades, tests, relationships, etc. Taliesha Tliompson, 15, said she now raps whenever she feels pressure building inside her. “It has opened me up more,” she said. “I was very shy and quiet. I kept everything to myself.”
Hip hop therapy grew out of an after-school club. The club was started by Ian P. Levy, a teacher who was developing a model for hip hop therapy as part of his research. Mr. Levy’s students recorded 20 songs expressing their feelings. “When sad events happen, it’s important that students have a way to express themselves,” Mr. Levy said.
This school year, Mr. Levy also started a music class at the school, called Hip Hop Lyricism. It is popular among students.
Stacey King, the school principal (校长), said hip hop helped her connect with students like Ishmel Prince. Ishmel used to miss school two to three times a week because he could not get up. Ms. King bought him an alarm clock, but he still did not show up. But that changed after Mr. Levy and 19 students were invited to rap live on a morning talk show on SiriusXM Radio. Ishmel made an agreement with Ms. King. He promised to come to school on time every day in return for being allowed to go to the show. Ishmel kept his word. He studies hard now and has better relationships with others.
“Hip hop therapy is great. It has the power to reach out to people and speak to certain people. It has helped me find out who I am,” said Ishmel.
( )57. When Taliesha has stress, she _______.
A. raps it out B. goes to a club
C. keeps it to herself D. talks to her teacher
( )58. What do we know from Paragraph 2
A. Students’ stresses. B. Mr. Levy’s research results.
C. How hip hop therapy was born. D. What students think of hip hop therapy.
( )59. What promise did Ishmel make to Ms. King
A. He’d go to the talk show on SiriusXM Radio.
B. He’d arrive at school on time every day.
C. He’d use the alarm clock.
D. He’d study hard.
( )60. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _______.
A. encourage readers to learn hip hop
B. describe the development of hip hop
C. introduce a popular therapy at a school
D. show how to get on with others at school
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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
You may go on a summer camp in America this summer, but do you really know how to behave properly when you join your host family?If not, my following words may give you some new ideas.
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They are not really bad guests, but because the guest---host relationship in China is quite different from that in western countries, it appears they are not nice guests 61 .
In China, guests are like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god, 62 . My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, does not smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as s non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly. 63 . In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. In our culture, if you smoke in their house, you are a bad guest, but if they do not let you smoke in their house. They are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. 64 . Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. 65 .
If you go abroad and stay with your western host family this summer, try not to be too shocked as their way of serving you is not what you want.
Some western people may not get used to these habits very soon.
And western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.
But I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that.
Acting like the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
People all over the world dislike these special habits like giving host gifts in China.
When you invite western guests to your house next time, don't be too surprised if they get you nothing.

My favorite song
My favorite song is Shengpizi. It’s a pop song. It was sung by a post-90s man named Chen Keyu. And the lyrics were also written by him.
I like this song for two reasons. First, in this song there are more than 70 new and difficult Chinese characters that I’ve never seen or heard of before. Every time I listen to it I sing along with it. And I have looked up these characters in the dictionary. So far I have learned all of them. Second, China is a country with a long history. There are lots of Chinese characters and they usually have more than one meaning and some of them are very interesting. Chinese characters are seen as symbols of Chinese culture. This song encourages me to pay more attention to Chinese culture.
If you’re interested in it, you can listen to it in your spare time.
