Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money.People often think like this — one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow’ s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren’ t they? I say travel but don’ t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Life is for the living, so live it sensibly.4. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can’t buy everything.5. What does the underlined phrase “refrain from” mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to6.

To live for the future.7. What should we do with the earnings according to the author?A. We should save all for rainy days.B. We should fulfill our dreams.C. We should entertain ourselves.D. We should live the present wisely.CAbout a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters andwoodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."8. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.9. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.10. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.11. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.DEveryone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.12. What made the author angry at the meeting?A. The system of the company was terrible.B. Someone said his job is insignificant.C. The policy of the company didn’t work.D. The application he supported was of no effect.13. What brought down the anger of the author?A. The apology someone made at the meeting.B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges.14. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift?A. It brought him back on track to the goal.B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.C. It helped him change his character since then.D. It provided him with confidence in his career.15. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a CompanyB. Avoid Being Pointless at WorkC. Anger Is Harmful to HealthD. Understanding Yourself Better Through Anger第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. “Hi. I'm Maria. What's wrong with you?” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I'm Jane. I...”she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night? I'll be off tomorrow morning.” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house.Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.I cleansed and bandaged(包扎) her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent?” I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness.Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side. Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

We’ll give you practical ways to define someone’s personality using popular film characters to help you remember! So, join us at the cinema and learn the useful character adjectives!1. NarcissisticMeaning: If someone is narcissistic, they think — they’re very special and more important than others.Example: In the movie Beauty and the Beast directed by, Bill Condon, the villain Gaston is narcissistic. He admires himself and his appearance too much (he’s always looking in the mirror), and he has a lack of sympathy for others.2.

The mission which is scheduled to launch in October from Cape Canaveral, Florida, will be the first mission to include non-professional astronauts. For that , the crew are receiving training in areas such as the operations of the spacecraft and the rocket that will launch it, working in microgravity, emergency preparedness and mission simulations (模拟).Arceneaux underwent treatment for bone cancer from the age of ten in St Jude Children's Hospital in Tennessee. She endured a dozen rounds of chemotherapy (化疗) and surgery to replace her left knee and thigh bone with titanium (钛) implants after her diagnosis nearly 20 years ago. She now works at the hospital as a physician's assistant.“Honestly, I'm not nervous at all — I am just so excited," said Arcencaux, "I think having cancer made me tough." Dr. Michael Neel, who operated on Arceneaux, said, “Hayley's story will show people that not even the sky is the limit for what you can do, whether it's in medicine, commerce or life in general.""Right now we are at step zero. The door is closed to persons with disabilities. With this pilot project, we have the ambition to open this door and make a leap, to go from zero to one,"the European Space Agency said.4．What can we learn about Inspiralion4?A．Arcencaux will command the mission.B．The mission will be launched privately.C．The crew prepare themselves in many areas.D．The mission includes no professional astronauts.5．What can people get from Hayley's story according to Dr. Michael Neel?A．Confidence.B．Honesty.C．Ambition.D．Toughness. 6．What does “the door” in the last paragraph refer to?A．A leap.B．A step.C．A solution.D．A chance. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．Inspiration4 is to be launched in October from Cape Canaveral, Florida：B．A cancer survivor is chosen as the youngest person to travel to space.C．The ESA promises to employ professional astronauts with disabilities.D．Jared Isaaeman funds a private spacecraft to travel in space.My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it; " Have you seen the tree? she asked as was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight."The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful- all kinds of colors. You ought to see it."I told her I would. But I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later,I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.As I approached it, I slowed down. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree, a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. With its varied nation of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing (拥抱) in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light-and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the bunting yellows and bare branches.As I wondered at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's words about the stars. If the stars appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.I felt the same way about the tree. And I had almost missed it.Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetls, he lolled (鸣钟)a church bell to alert town's people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a messenger of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder. I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple question "Have you seen the tree?"8．Why did the author forget about the tree?A．He had a lot of worries.B．He was engaged in work.C．He didn't take it seriously.D．He never passed by the corner. 9．What's special about the tree?A．Its sinking size.B．Its rich colours.C．Its amazing shape.D．Its broad branches.10．What does the underlined word "observed" in paragraph 5 mean?

C．Deliver the message of wonder.D．Check the answer to the question.By four months of age, the cognitive performance of ravens in experimental tasks testing their social intelligence and understanding of the physical world parallels that of adult great apes according to a new study.Previous studies have demonstrated impressive cognitive abilities in ravens. These birds are capable of considering the visual perspective of others, planning for the future, and insightful problem-solving. Ravens have even been called “feathered apes”. But can they really compare with, primates when it comes to higher cognition?To put this question to the teal, Pika and colleagues adapted a battery of experimental tests designed for primates to meet the needs or ravens. They include both physical and social cognitive skills. Physical cognitive skills include special memory, understanding relative numbers and addition, and causal reasoning, while social cognitive skills include social learning, communication, and theory of mind.Pika and colleagues conducted their tests with eight hand-raised ravens. The researchers found that, at four months old, ravens already possessed a full-blown set of cognitive skills and did not significantly change over the time period investigated.Comparing the performance of the ravens with chimpanzees, Pika and colleagues found that, with the exception of special memory, the ravens' performance equalled that of the great apes. The findings strengthen the idea that ravens, like great apes, have evolved general, flexible cognitive skills, rather than being highly specialized in a few ones only.However, the researchers caution that the performance of these eight ravens may not be representative of the species as a whole. The birds in this study were tested by two highlyfamiliar people who had hand-raised them. Such socialization factors could affect how the birds perform in cognitive tests designed and administered by humans.12．Ravens have been called “feathered apes” for their________.A．vision B．speed C．strength D．intelligence 13．What do we know about the tests?A．Ravens' development lops out at four months.B．Primates couldn't perform as well in the tests.C．Pika laid emphasis on physical cognitive skills.D．Ravens develop comprehensive cognitive skills.14．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Limitations of the study.B．Conclusion of the study. C．Significance of the study.D．Expectation of the study.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．The Raven: A Birdbrain Nevermore B．The Raven: A Mystery to Be Solved C．The Raven: A Superstar in Experiment D．The Raven: A Representative of the Species二、七选五“Don’t judge a hook by its cover.” the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold." is another. They remind us that something's appearance should not be the most important thing when we determine its value. ____16____Many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance.

AThe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the eleventh largest nation in Europe. England, Wales and Scotland make up the island of Great Britain, which takes up most of the Britain Isles. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are mountainous. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. Plains and valleys cover much of England. The British climate is mild.About 58 million people live in the United Kingdom. Few other countries are so crowded. Four out of five people live in cities such as Belfast, Glasgow, and London. London is the capital. Great Britain grows half of the food it needs. Its industries help to pay for the food that is bought from abroad. The United Kingdom manufactures a wide range of goods. Service industries, such as tourism, that provide services rather than producing goods, are increasing. Traditional industries, such as coal mining, are declining. 21. There are many mountains in ______________. A. Northern Ireland, Scotland and England B. England, Wales and ScotlandC. Wales, Scotland and Northern IrelandD. Northern Ireland, Wales and England22. In the United Kingdom, about __________ people live in big cities. A. 58 millionB. 48.8 millionC. 38.8 millionD. half23. According to the passage, which of the statements is true? A. Great Britain grows all of the food it needs.B. The United Kingdom manufactures a narrow range of goods.C. The speed of tourism in UK is increasing faster than producing goods.D. The coal mining is also increasing fast.BTwo-year-old Samantha Savitz is deaf and loves interacting with her neighbors, so they all learned sign language in order to communicate with her better. The little girl is just so charming and adorable that it’s hard not to want to be able to have simple conversations with her.In the United States, about two to four of every 1,000 people are functionally deaf — about 2 million people. Around 28 million Americans, 10% of the population, ave some degree of hearing loss. Around 500,000 deaf people in the country use American Sign Language(ASL), and it’s the third most commonly used language in the US; many hearing people are also fluent in ASL. With so many people using ASL, it’s only right that Savitz’s neighbors learn the language, not only for her but also to be able to communicatewith other deaf people.Located at the end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusells, this little neighborhood is absolutely charmed by one little girl. Savitz is a super engaging girl, and she loves interacting with people in her community. She is delighted when they are able to sign with her. However, she gets really sad when they can’t understand her when she tries to communicate with them. Because of this, Savitz’s neighbors collectively hired an instructor for ASL classes. With the help of their instructor, Rhys McGovern, the neighbors are able to help Savitz feel a sense of belonging.What the neighbors did for this little girl is wonderful because she will grow up being well-adjusted in society. Instead of feeling separated because no one outside of her family will understand her, Savitz will be accustomed to constantly interacting with different people. Her family is so thankful that they are fortunate to have such caring and compassionate neighbors. Savitz calls her neighbors “friends” and accurately so.Other than speaking with the darling of their neighborhood, the residents of Islington Road will also be able to communicate with any other deaf person they en counter. “We are really enjoying the whole process, not only the learning of ASL, but the learning together,” says McNeil, one of Savitz’s neighbors.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号“It’s made our neighborhood a closer place.”24. Why does the author present the figures in paragraph 2?A. To recommend people to learn ASL.B. To show why the ASL class is appealing.C. To stress how terrible the life of the deaf is.D. To account for Savitz’s neighbors’ learning ASL.25. How does little Savitz feel when her neighbors are able to communicate with her?A. Proud.B. Pleased.C. Confused.D. Surprised.26. What does Rhys McGovern do for Savitz?A. He teaches her neighbors ASL.B. He guides her to interact with her neighbors.C. He hired an instructor for her neighbors.D. He called on her neighbors to help her.27. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. Many heads are better than one.B. Help others and be happy with yourself.C. You can’t hide the world from your next neighbor.D. The poor are good to themselves and the good for the world.CThere are many therapies(疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It’s called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature depression link.A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. “It seems that, from our work, the restora tive effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression,” says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted, and being in nature reenergizes them. However, Dr Berman has a strong warning. “We’re not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary treatment. Compared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50 minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.Why does nature hold this special effect? Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives pe ople more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression.” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and stoplights.28. What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1?A. They focus on physical activity.B. They pay no attention to interactions.C. They mainly depend on natural environment.D. They need to be tailored to different patients.29. How does nature benefit patients with depression?A. By making them feel energetic.B. By reminding them to rest in time.C. By taking the place of clinic treatment.D. By covering up their mental problems.30. What does the underlined word “supplementary” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Additional.B. Traditional.C. Controversial.D. Essential.31. What is the text mainly about?A. An urban setting of restoring energy.B. The positive role of nature in treating depression.C. The popularity of using multiple ways to treat diseases.D. An effective replacement of clinical therapy for depression.DWe all know employees talk, and things can never remain totally secret. But a direct discussion about salary details probably isn’t the best idea.There are organizations that openly share salary information around the office. However, unless all similar jobs pay the same rate, people advise that open salary concepts do not work well.When companies have different employees on the same job and one of them is paid differently, manyunfairness issues surface. It can happen in any company that differentiates(区分) pay for any reason like seniority and performance. You should run the risk of causing a distance between you and your colleagues if they learn you earn more for what they think to be the same job.The secret nature of your salary, in fact, can be a greater benefit to you. It creates an opportunity for a manager to have a personal discussion with employees as to why they are being paid what they are and how they can then move forward with confidence that they have developed a “special” relationship with their supervisor(主管) on their individual issues, good and bad, without involving others in the process.If you learn that someone who hol ds a similar position earns a bigger paycheck, don’t panic. First, do some due diligence to determine if you are being underpaid in general. Use the Internet salary calculator, and also reach out to your out-of-office network to find out how people at other companies are being compensated. Next, you’d better go to your boss and ask the reasons. Open a rational dialog to understand what skills or experience you’ll need to improve your performance and earn more recognition and financial rewards.32. What could happen if your colleagues learned that you are paid more?A. They might become less friendly to you.B. Your salary might be reduced soon.C. They might badly perform in their work.D. You might be given extra jobs.33. What is the advantage of keeping salary information secret?A. It inspires you to make greater progress in your work.B. It warns you to work harder to make more money.C. It gives the manager a chance to communicate with you.D. It proves the manager treats all his employees equally.34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To tell about how to get along with the boss.B. To show how to keep silent about the problem.C. To urge employees to argue with the boss.D. To suggest ways to deal with the problem.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Personal relationship.B. Salary secret.C. Colleague pressure.D. Salary difference. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

On April 23, 1982, part joke and part objection, the Florida Keys declared their "independence". They surrendered (投降) after one minute. Although they were never independent, residents (居民) of the Florida Keys celebrate their "independence day" every April 23rd.Ernest Hemingway HouseKey West's most famous resident was the brilliant but troubled writer Ernest Hemingway. Ernest and his wife, Pauline, lived in a house in Key West from 1931 t0 1939. In this house, Hemingway wrote some of his most famous stories, including "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "To Have and Have Not. "Southernmost PointA short walk from the Ernest Hemingway house is the most photographed site in Key West. It is a marker showing the southernmost point in the United States. Tourists wait in long lines to take pictures in front of the monument. It reads "90 miles to Cuba. " The Southern most Point reminds Americans that Cuba is so close, but so far away.

Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available very soon.Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle. "It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern when developing the Hoverbike. He ays the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors (折叠旋翼) to power the vehicle. The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype (原型) of the Hoverbike.Inventors say their Hoverbike will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up t0 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack "is built around safety from the start, " In his words, "reliability is the most important part of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. "Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency."It opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency," he adds.4．Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?A．Powerful. B．Fast. C．Portable. D．Available. 5．What make(s) flying vehicles seem practical now?A．Modem technology. B．New safety rules.C．Love of cycling. D．Public concerns.6．Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?A．People who dream of flying.B．People who really love cycling.C．People who design the bike.D．People who serve public purposes.7．What's the main concern the two companies share?A．Safety. B．Speed. C．Size. D．Design.Fifty years ago, the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed (嘘声). The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States.The mid-1960s were a time of great change. One such place of change was the world of folk music. Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic (原声的) to electric guitar.Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change. It is called " Dylan Goes Electric. " “There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records. And Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, all had huge, huge, huge number-one records. "And then this happened: The "British Invasion" introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music. That worried many folk musicians, says Elijah Wald. They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue. However, a new Dylan sound came from the stage.Bob Dylan had gone electric, and the followers of folk music were notpleased. "When Dylan went electric, I think one of the issues was the feeling that - wait a minute, he's gone over to the enemy. "Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll. But, author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music. " Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music. "In fact, Dylan was a Beatles fan. He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles heknew "they were pointing to the direction where music had to go. "Beyond the music, Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture.8．How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival? A．Excited.B．Unsatisfied.C．Respectful.D．Bored.9．Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald?A．Great changes had taken place in folk music.B．People had grown sincere love for rock music.C．Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend.D．Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time.10．What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do?A．Change folk music for better.B．Recover the glory of folk music.C．Introduce the world to the Beatles.D．Play rock and roll against the Beatles.11．What will the author most probably talk about next?A．Dylan's deep love for the Beatles' rock and roll music.B．Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go.C．Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music.D．Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture.Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman．In fact，in the swimmingpool—she is only getting faster．Recently，a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarianto complete a 1，500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1．Her name is Mieko Nagaoka．Ms．Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama．She swam the race in 1hour，15 minutes and 54 seconds．By comparison，the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes．But that swimmer，Katie Ledecky，is only 17 years old．And Ms．Nagao．ka was not competing against her．In fact，Ms．Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category．Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance，or not giving up．Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms．Nagaoka．So far she has broken 25 records．But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.Ms．Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s，so she began swimming to help her body recover．Since her first international swimming competition，she hasn’t looked back，except maybe to see if her competition is catching up．In 2002．at a masters swim meet in New Zealand，Ms．Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke．In 2004，she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet. Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants．Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old．Until she passed away this month，the oldest person in the world was also from Japan．Misao Okawa was born in 1 898．She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise.12．The underlined word“centenarian”refers to someone who is____．A．from JapanB．100 or olderC．an old competitorD．a new swimmer13．Which is possibly the age category of the masters swimming competition?A．82 to 87 years old．B．93 to 97 years old.C．95 to 99 years old．D．106 to 110 years old.14．It can be inferred from the passage that_____．A．some people are born with longevity genesB．people who like swimming live longerC．the Japanese are interested in swimmingD．woman usually live much longer than men15．Which can best explain the spirit of Ms．Nagaoka?A．Not to advance is to go back．B．After a storm comes a calm.C．The early bird catches the worm．D．Keep on going，never give up.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
