Passage One
Questions 31 to35 are based on the following passage:
Taiwanese singer Stefanie Sun(孙燕姿) looks just like any other young girl. She has short hair, a clear face and a sweet smile. However, there is something about her that makes her very special: her voice. No one else can sing like she can. Now, Sun is a bright star. She has released many albums.
Sun was born in Singapore. When she was a child, her father told her: “A person should always be good at something in life, so they have something to do for a hobby.” Sun chose to learn to play the piano when she was only five. Then, she took up kick-boxing because she felt she was thin and wanted to make herself stronger.
She often sings about the pain and happiness of growing up. The simple but true feelings in her music are loved by teens. “Sun may be a star, but she seems like a normal girl. She is close to us,” said Zhu Liying, 15, a Beijing student. “Her songs give me courage.”
Eventually, the star was tired because she had worked so hard. She stopped singing for a while and had a one-year holiday to travel. “I won ’t give up singing. I just want a rest and to try something new. I hope to make better music when I come back,” Sun said then.

They were handed down within a family circle
. , and there was no way for them to become known over the whole country
or to be a real part of the nation's culture. Since each generation tended
to remember its own songs and to forget the older songs it once
精品
. 精品 knew, much of the nation's song heritage may have disappeared.
The first step toward preserving America's song heritage was taken by scholars, collectors and researchers who gathered and studied songs; next, singers became interested, and soon folk songs could be heard nationally on radio. Finally, America's rediscovered musical heritage spread to the schools, becoming part of every child's experience.
Many colonial songs were rediscovered in the southern Appalachians Mountains. Universities, the Library of Congress, and many individual collectors added to the treasury of song. In some parts of the nation old Scottish, Irish, Welsh, or English songs had not been pushed out of existence by newer music. These collectors found ten, twenty, even thirty versions of the same ballad sometimes with a different tune or story, but always recognizable and always originating in the same old song. In a few isolated places, the ballads still existed in what was probably the form sung in colonial days; but since the songs were transmitted orally, individual variations have probably crept in.

days because______.

C. we have only the modern versions
D. the songs were written down in very rough fashion Passage Three Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: Science fiction (1) is a popular kind of writing and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early twenties, Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Ballon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth ( 1864 ) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865 ) . In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many predictions for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich. Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Vene's books. The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time! 41.
