阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Ban the Band(乐队)？

Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 36 , instead of the usual school uniform.

Most of us think the dance is great 37 — even the teachers enjoy being there. 38 , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 39 band this year—only CDs.

“I don’t 40 it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.

“Someone said the school couldn’t 41 a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.

“Well, I don’t think it’s 42 enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”

Angela was as good as her 43 . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 44 some more thought. And he suggested that one 45 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to 46 out whether the students would like to do that.

“I need all of you to help me,” she 47 to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their 48 about the band and the extra cost.”

49 the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much 50 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the 51 . “I really thought that only a few people 52 their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next 53 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and 54 the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re 55 ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(共20小题; 每小题 2分, 满分40分)

A

People in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages. Hong Kong was a British colony for over 156 years before returning to China in 1997. English was the only official language until 1994.

Most people in Hong Kong today speak Cantonese, but Mandarin and other dialects are also heard. British English is still widely spoken and taught here. Now however, many people are choosing to learn American English.

Victor Chan, for example, has children who attend a school called Nature EQ. They are learning to say words in the American way. Mr. Chan says he wants his sons to learn American English, because he plans to send them to the United States for further study.

Nature EQ is one of a growing number of schools in Hong Kong that offer American English classes. Frankie Ng opened the school 17 years ago, at which time, he had only 40 students. Today, the school has 350 students.

Mr. Ng says American English is clear and easy to teach and understand.

Student Sam Yu has another reason for studying American English, “I think American English is getting more and more important, and is maybe taking over the dominance of British English, so I’m willing to learn.”

Public schools still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.

In Hong Kong’s Tseung Kwan O district. For example, the “Workshop School” had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, it has more than 180 students each week.

American English is becoming the language of international business. Increased contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, compute
