3．A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name.A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person，place or thing.Many American cities have nicknames.These can help establish an identity，spread pride among citizens and build unity.Nicknames can also be funny.
Los Angeles，California is the second largest city in population，after New York City.Los Angeles has several nicknames.One is simply the city's initials，L.A．It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means"the angels"in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm，sunny weather.So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.New York is called The Big Apple.So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles.So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World.Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood.Millions of people visit the area.No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word"Hollywood"spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles.The city is sometimes called Tinseltown.This nickname comes from the shiny，bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land，using the first letters of Los and Angeles.This means a place that is fun and not serious，and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County.There are many smaller cities in the county.Beverly Hills，with its rich people，is one of them.So is Pasadena，with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day.So are the coastal cities of Santa Monica and Malibu，where people like to ride surfboards on the Pacific Ocean waves.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice，an area on the west side of Los Angeles.A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.

4．When should a child begin to take music lessons？To answer this question，it's important to look at the reasons why a parent might want their child to take music lessons.
There is a growing body of research that shows a "window of opportunity" from birth to age nine for developing a musical sensibility within children.During this time，the mental structures and mechanisms（機(jī)制） associated with processing and understanding music are in the best stages of development.And that is why it is important to expose children in this age range to music.
The important question then is not when to start lessons，but the goal of music lessons for young children.For example，very young children are exposed to instruments not to master them，but to gain experience and learn to develop meaningful relationships with music.If this is your goal，then the "lessons" can and should start soon after birth and certainly within the child's first year.These "lessons" do not have to be-in fact，at first probably shouldn't be very formal.
Once the child is around age three，it may be time for more formalized "lessons".Again，the goal is not to learn to play an instrument but to further develop skills like identifying（識別） a beat in music，identifying melody，or identifying instruments.
By age five，most children have built a foundation that has prepared them for formalized music lessons.Even now，the goal of the lessons is not to become a great performer on the instrument but the same as when they play music at three.Piano and violin are the two most common instruments played at his age，but others have tried the recorder，guitar，or ukulele with success.
By age ten，the child will have a variety of skills associated with their instrument of choice.They'll also have the physical strength to try a different，bigger instrument that requires a higher level of strength and determination.Around this time，the goal of lessons properly changes from gaining experience with music to improving performance ability.
（1）Why does the author mention the research finding in Paragraph 2？
A．To tell us how to develop a musical sensibility.
B．To explain the phrase "window of opportunity".
C．To inform a new finding in the field of child development.
D．To show the importance of experiencing music at a young age.
（2）What goal is suitable for a three-year-old child taking music lessons？
A．To learn to play an instrument.
B．To just have some fun with others.
C．To recognize different musical instruments
D．To become a great performer on an instrument.
（3）When should a child start focusing on improving performance ability while learning music？
A．At the age of 1.
B．At the age of 3.
C．At the age of 5.
D．At the age of 10.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The reasons to take music lessons.
B．The right age to begin music lessons.
C．The importance of formal music education.

5．One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talking on our old phone.I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her.（1）
I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.
（2）Later，we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room.Then came computers and smart phones.These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second.My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts.She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as "the cloud"，where she can take it out at any time.It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.
（3）Few take time to talk face to face.Instead of looking into eyes of our beloved ones，we stare at our screens.It seems as if the most connected generation is also the loneliest.
Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life.Make the time to meet and to communicate with each other.Take a walk on the beach with a friend.Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on.（4）
Remember that we are here to love each other，help each other and make this world a better place.（5）But when it can't，turn it off.
A.That was a long time ago.
B.Connect offline as well as online.
C.We should communicate with each other with phones off.
D.Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.
E.When your technology can help to do these things，then use it.
F.However，what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.
G.When she left the room，I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.組卷：3引用：4難度：0.6

It was summer，and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before．He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West．
We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico．We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon．Uncle Paul，my dad's friend，picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos．
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle．My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby．Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast．"The day starts at dawn on my farm，" he said．After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze（吃草）．I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses．They looked really cool．
In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me．I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway．So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains． "Don't be late for supper，"Uncle Paul cried，" and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!" "OK!" my dad cried back．After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight．It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene．It looked like beautiful woven（編織的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us．
