We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis (假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable, the result is opposite.Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study autumn begins at the start of the academic school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer，when school is out. When summer comes’ clocks fall back, stealing an hour of daylight, which feel like losing precious time. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh starts and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of day light. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activity—and enjoy a break from school.But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.37. The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ______.A. present a different opinion on musicB. prove where to listen to music mattersC. introduce the topic on musical preferencesD. stress the importance of music to humans38. What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study?A. Whether one has enough free time.B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight.D. Whether one chooses to change his life.39. What does Paragraph 3 imply?A. Spring has a special meaning to people.B. Students aren’t fond of school i n any season.C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies.D. The length of summer time is longer than winter time.40. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s significant.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.3、The latest Chinese “god song”(an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet (像病毒一样传播开来) is still making debates (争论) between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards(奖) and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture’s “going abroad”, saying it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression (印象) of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business view rather than a cultural view. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy (策略) to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released (发行) to promote the duo’s film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a marketing strategy was used to promote (提升) the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm (重复的韵律)，easy-to-remember lyrics (歌词), simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots (草根) nature. The video accumulated (积攒) more than 1 billion bits on China’s major video websites.Although the song was generally disliked by music professionals who criticized (批评) it as “musical junk food”, Little Apple’s popularity nationally paved the way (为…铺平道路) for promoting the duo internationally.57. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.A. opposed(相反的)B. negative(消极的)C. objective(客观的)D. critical58. What do the underlined words “the duo” refer to?A. Little AppleB. Chopsticks BrotherC. Zhang JieD. American singers59. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Little Apple’s popularity is also a success of marketing strategyB. Little Apple is generally thought nothing by the AMAC. Little Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaD. Little Apple was originally released as a pop play on the Internet4、My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of t he driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them funny, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most w as that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He asked us to keep journals. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven away my writing andteaching ever since.So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or self-defeating.8. The passage mainly discusses ______.A. teachingB. literatureC. knowledgeD. humor9. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.A. inspiringB. tiringC. funnyD. brilliant10. With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that ______.A. his teacher was very learnedB. his teacher was very humorousC. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and othersD. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous11. The English teacher the writer disliked most ______.A. was not able to make students laughB. had no sense of humorC. didn’t let his students do the gradingD. hurt his students’ feelings5、The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest (抗议) poems on buildings. Modern graffiti (涂鸦艺术) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writin g their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray (喷射) paintings known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory (领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did “writing”—the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time when it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor (顾问), thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the ot her hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming (开拓，改造) cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard (跳板) to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils (模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £ 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1. Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti?A. That was when modern graffiti first appeared.B. That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.C. That was when graffiti first reached New York.D. That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows.2. What does the underlined word “taggers” in th e second paragraph mean?A. Names of people who draw graffiti.B. Building where paints were sprayed.C. People who marked surface with graffiti.D. People who were interested in graffiti.3. The Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City holds the view that ______.A. involving young people in graffiti stops them being involved with serious crime.B. graffiti helps the public to own the streets and take control away from advertisers.C. graffiti actually increases the value of property by making the area more attractive.D. graffiti can free artist from being caught by the police.4. What is the author’s final opinion about graffiti?A. Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.B. Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.C. Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.D. Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.6、The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism (相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform (不变的) in human nature, ”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.55. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.56. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____.A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures57. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?7、Chinese students’ extremely neat handwritten compositions have aroused a heated debate among Internet users since photos of the compositions and a teacher’s picky remarks were published on Daily Mail Online.“Can you believe this essay is handwritten?” Daily Mail Online asked.The website reported on the compositions that looked like they had been machine printed and on the teacher’s remarks at Hengshui High School in North China’s Hebei Province, one of China’s top 100 high schools. The teacher wrote, “not one stroke (笔画) more, not one stroke less” about some compositions tha t weren’t neatly written.The story immediately aroused a heated debate among British Internet users and got 652 comments after it was published on Wednesday. Some British readers were amazed by the neat handwriting and attributed (归于) China’s growing development to this strict teaching method. A reader named Jim said, “This is another example of why China is rising to the top”, and his comment gained 72 supports. But some readers thought the too-picky method doesn’t make sense in helping students learn better English and suppresses（压制） students’ creativity.Chinese Internet users also expressed different opinions after English newspapers, a user of China’s Twitter like Sina Weibo, posted the story along with its comments on Weibo on Thursday. Since then, the post has received 1, 479 comments. Sina Weibo user wenjinzetui said, “Beautiful handwriting proves an ability”, echoing an old Chinese saying that the style is the man. However, another Weibo user, honorificabilitus, said, “It’s meaningless to pursue that neat English handwriting, since learning language is for communicating, let alone English students don’t write that neatly. ”There are also many Weibo users showing worry about this too-strict teaching method, as weibo user li-owl-stop said, “We shoul d reflect the Chinese-style education, and it’s hard to imagine what would happen if all the schools in China adopted the teaching method at Hengshui High School. ”81. What can be inferred from the last sentence in the third paragraph?A. The teacher’s teaching method was very strict.B. The student’s handwriting was too bad.C. The teacher was too-picky.D. The compositions were not printed by machine.82. As for the Chinese students’ extremely neat handwriting, the British Internet users ______.A. were amazed by itB. thought it suppresses students’ creativityC. had different views about itD. thought it meaningless83. What Sina Weibo user wenjinzetui said tells us that ______.A. a person whose handwriting is beautiful must be an able manB. one’s handwriting can reflect his or her certain ability in a wayC. a person whose handwriting is neat must be beautifulD. the saying that the style is the man is out of date today84. According to the weibo user li-owl-stop, what is the Chinese-style education?A. The education using strictest teaching method.B. The education stimulating students’ creativity.C. The education for all the Chinese people.D. The education like British education.8、The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism (相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world.

Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Popular Arts Permanent?B. Are Artistic Values Universal?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?9、Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardo’s early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city’s very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body’s bones and muscles when drawing people.Leonardo took the teacher’s advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth.A method called “sfumato” helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. “Chiaroscuro” is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.Leonardo’s first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made thispainting of a young woman named Ginevra de’ Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio’s painting “Baptism of Christ.” One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo’s addition to the painting, he w as so amazed by his student’s skill that he said he would never paint again.54. Which of the following words can be used to describe Leonardo according to the third paragraph?A. Stubborn.B. Creative.C. Pessimistic.D. Determined.55. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Verrocchio felt shame at his own work.B. Verrocchio thought Leonardo’s work terrible.C. Verrocchio thought highly of Leonardo’s work.D. Verrocchio didn’t believe Leonardo could paint well.56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Leonardo was prevented from some studies because of his parents.B. Leonardo thought his teacher’s advice was unreasonable.C. “Sfumato” is a method to show depth by using light and shade.D. “Baptism of Christ” made L eonardo known across the world.10、The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago.
