It was cold and foggy. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I was standing at the door of the inn 20 I saw
a blind man coming along the road. He was feeling his 21 with a stick.
“Will any 22 friend tell a poor blind man where he is?” he said.
“You're at the Admiral Benbow Inn, Black Hill Cove, my good man,” I said.
“I hear a young voice,” he said. “Will you give me your hand, my kind young friend, and take me 23 ?”
I held out my hand, and the terrible, soft-speaking, eyeless man took hold of it like a dog biting a bone. He pulled
me hard 24 him.
“Now, boy,” he said, “take me to the captain, 25 I'll break your arm!” And I had never heard a voice so cruel
and cold.
I was so 26 by the blind man's words that I did as he told me without question, and took him into the room
where the sick captain was sitting. He saw the blind man and a look of 27 passed across his face.
“Sit where you are, Bill,” said the blind man. “I can't see, but I can even hear a finger 28 . Hold out your right
hand.”
I watched him put 29 in the captain's hand. “And now that's done,” said the blind man, and he 30 went
out of the inn. I heard his 31 tap-tap-tapping fast away along the road.
The captain opened his hand and looked into it. “Ten o'clock!” he cried and 32 . He put his hand round his
neck, made a 33 sound, and fell face down onto the floor.
I ran to him, 34 to my mother. But the captain was dead.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
“Without music, life would be a mistake,”famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friedrich Nietzsche said over a
century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control
budgets(预算).
For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10
percent taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other
countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and
history.
That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy
with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.
However, learning music is beneficial(有益的) in many ways.
When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to
Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see
music notes and decode(解码) them in their brains.They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all
these things at the same time.
Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music.
Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
( )35.Some schools in the US have cut music classes, because .
A.they are too difficult to learn
B.the schools want to control budgets
C.there aren't enough music teachers in the US
D.students in the US aren't interested in music
( )36.In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to(指代)?
A.Public schools.
B.Fired teachers.
C.Parents in Chicago.
D.Students in Chicago.
( )37.What's the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A.Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.
B.Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.
C.Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.
D.Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.
( )38.How many scientists who were good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?
A.Four. B.Three.
C.Two. D.One.
( )39.What's the writer's opinion according to this passage?
A.Music is a big part of our lives.
B.Music is as simple as it looks.
C.Music classes should be cut in some schools.
D.Music isn't a very important life skill for us.
