THE Little Mermaid, a fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is well known. It tells of a young mermaid who falls in love with a prince. She wants to be with the prince so she gives her tongue to a witch, who gives her legs for her fish tail. But the story has an unhappy ending. The little mermaid never gets to be with the prince.
At the Denmark Pavilion(展館)at Shanghai Expo 2010, visitors will have a chance to meet the little mermaid. How so? In the form of the famous statue from Copenhagen.
Petersen Niels Lund Petersen, a designer of the pavilion said the idea was to find something for the Chinese and the Danish to share.
The brewer（釀酒商）Carl Jacobsen of Carlsberg gave the statue to the city of Copenhagen in 1913. The work of Edvard Erichsen, the statue, is one of the most well-loved in Denmark. About 75 percent of all tourists who visit the Danish capital go to see the Little Mermaid.
Visitors to the pavilion will find the Little Mermaid in the water from Copenhagen’s harbor---just as she is in her home city. Two decades ago the harbor was filthy with pollution from factories. Today it is so clean that local people will sometimes take a swim in it. Visitors to the pavilion will be able to take off their socks and shoes and dip their toes in the water.
The pavilion will give visitors a sense of life in a modern Danish city. They can ride a bicycle in a Danish bicycle path, visit a park on the roof and have an organic picnic there, China Daily reports.

Homework is work, not play. In contrast to what some might hope, students 55 finish their homework exclaiming that they had great fun. Nor is homework an activity that students choose to undertake.

Increasingly, school reforms call for homework to take the form of course projects, thus increasing its 62 to “real-life” job-related activity.
Like jobs, homework can be appealing when its resources are well managed. Resources 63 sources of information—textbooks, of course, and increasingly, the Internet—but they also include a quiet space to work, materials and equipment such as calculators, paper or a computer, and others who cohabit (共面存在) in the homework environment.

第一節(jié)：閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
On a visit to my home state, I had a chance to drive through Cazenovia, a village on the shores of Lake Cazenovia. It seemed to me as if in a dream. I saw again the lakeshore meadow(草地)that has always remained an unforgettable part of my childhood memory. It was the place of family picnics（野炊）.
It was Grandma who had made it a rule to have the annual（每年的) outing. She had made known her wish that the family should meet each summer when travel was easier and eat together in the open air. It was her pleasure to have all her children, and their children, gather in the meadow, and spend the day eating, singing, playing, chatting, making jokes.
After so many years, I can still see her in my mind, a large figure, dressed in black although it was summer, seated under the shade of a large tree. The others spread around her, sitting on blankets on the grass. Despite(盡管) the joy, the family picnic was also a time of puzzlement(迷惑) for me. Who was this stranger in black with whom I could not speak?
What I knew of my grandmother, I heard from my mother: she believed in good food on the table. She knew you are what you eat and she loved America for all kinds of foods it provided to people like her, who, back in her home country, had been used to a simple life, with so little food.
We were about fifty kin (家族成員)gathered in that meadow, living proof of the family progress. Grandma’s sons and daughters all offered her services, goods and children. And yet, despite the good times and good food and the happy chatting people, I still felt a sense of strangeness. When I asked my mother why Grandma looked so strange and never spoke to us, I was told that Grandma’s home country was in Europe and she didn’t speak our language. In my eyes, she might as well have been from Mars(火星). I never remember hearing our own mother speak to her mother, although she must have. I only remember my shock at mother’s sadness when Grandma died. Was she crying for the silence that had existed like a wall between them?......
36. Whom does the underlined words “their children”  refer to?
A. The writer’s children            B. Grandma’s children
C. Grandma’s grandchildren        D. All the children in the family
37. Which of the following was a cause that made Grandma a “stranger” to the writer?
A. Grandma loved all kinds of good foods in America.
B. Grandma started the tradition of the annual gathering.
　 C. Grandma spoke a language different from the writer’s.
D. Grandma enjoyed the family gathering every summer.
38. What does the writer mean by “l(fā)iving proof of the family progress?
A. The writer’s family were having a good time.
B. The writer’s family were having a modern life.
C. Life had improved a lot for the writer’s family.
D. The size of the writer’s family had grown greatly.
39.Why might Grandma have been from mars in the writer’s eyes?
A. Because Grandma acted very strangely.
B. Because the writer never heard Grandma speak to Mother.
C. Because Grandma was deaf.
D. Because Grandma liked to keep silent.
40. What would be the best title for the text?
A. My Memories of Grandma.      B. The life of a Strange Woman.

Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反復試驗）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
A．to get into trouble                                                               B．to play better than he did
C．people to stop and listen to him             D．to be told to move somewhere else

A．was too busy to stop                            B．wanted to get rid of him               
C．dropped the money by mistake              D．did not want to attract attention
43．He gradually became confident that day because           .
A．nobody looked at him                          B．he played the violin very well       
C．people continued to give him money      D．he earned a lot of money
44．On the following days, he           .
A．made a lot of mistakes                         B．learned how to do the job better    
C．get better at playing the violin               D．did not make so much money
45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
A．play in different streets                        B．leave all the money in the hat

When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music.” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert.

After they got their clue (暗示) to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And this is  50  what they did face — the orchestra (管弦樂隊) which was just below the stage.
An actor might be frightened or  51  as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially  52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music”  53  to mean: having to go  54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55  might be, because you knew you had no choice.
