AThis may be music to your ears.Researchers P Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality quiz.Then they asked them to name their favourite kind of music.“We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities,”Gosling s ays.RAP/HIP-HOPKnown for their quick speech,some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节)a minute! If you like rap/hip-hop,you are energetic(精力充沛的)and have a way with words.You put a fresh spin on things ,whether it's new moves on the dance floor or your hip style. CLASSICALIn the 18th century,classical musicians were like rock stars.Beethoven and Mozar t,for example,played to packed concert halls. If you like classical,you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends.Crea tive and imaginative,you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking,writing or painting.COUNTRYCountry music came from the folk songs of English,Scottish,and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.If you like country,you express your opinions well,which makes you the ideal class president or team captain.Tr aditional and loyal,you enjoy spending time with your family. POPPop music is designed to appeal to(吸引)almost everyone,and it does.Each year,the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars! If you like pop,you are attractive to your friends.You can make big things hap pen,like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory. ROCK/ALTERNATIVEIn the 1950s,rock music created a brand-new culture.Teenagers,for the first time,had an identity(身份)separate from adults and children.If you like rock/alternative,you are a risk-taker who never accepts no for an answer.You rise to any cha llenge,like doing very well in a big exam or in the school play.If these personality profiles don't match you,that's OK.These are just for fun.1.If you like pop music,________.A.you are traditional and prefer to stay with your family B.you are easy to accept new ideasC.you are welcome and your friends all like to be with you D.you have a quick speech and can say 30 words in a minut e2.We can know from this passage that ________.A.in the 18th century, classical musicians were like pop star sB.country music came from the folk songs of the Native Am ericansC.everyone can find his personality in this passageD.pop music is liked by the largest number of people in the world3.What's the best title for the passage?A.When music came into being.B.What your favourite mus ic says about you.C.Some basic information about music. D.How to like m usic.BIt’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm(闹钟)rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through t he dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my gl asses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husba nd and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I fo rce my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of th e exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even c hocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you", or by my choice to have a salad. Over the ye ars, I have learned it’s okay to just say "no". I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want t o eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxi ety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves m y body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my f ace as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair o f jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and swe at that I can make a difference within myself inside and out. 4.Why is there a smile on the a uthor’s face in the morning?

D.Others do n’t understand what she does.6.What does the underlined word "commitment" in the last paragraph mean?A.Good health. B.Firm belief. C.A strong power. D .A regular habit.7.What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She aims to develop a good body shape.B.She acts in a strange way.C.She wants to look different from others.D.She has difficulty getting along with others.CMany of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s be rries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and s weet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhous es of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberri es are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are a ntioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich i n vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen ba nanas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas f or freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and pl ace them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent th em turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, de pending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.z x.x.kIf you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas an d some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a f un activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.8. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. The y are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. T hey are rich in antioxidants.9.

What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A d rink.C. A container.D. A machine.11. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A hea lth magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.DElephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas ca n support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant b ehavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to liv e peacefully with elephants in Africa.Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’ survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant cons ervation — land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and ot her protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing con flicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elepha nts and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting inf ormation on elephant habitats and behavior. The information t hey gather will help to develop the widest possible space for e lephants.The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. An d they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.12. The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _____.A. African elephants are endangered now .B. there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants.C. African elephants are popular animals.D. the number of African elephants has increased over the ye ars13. What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephant s now?A. They are still being killed.B. Their habitats are being d estroyed.C. They don’t have enough food.D. They can’t live in peace with farmers.14. To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXC EPT _____.A. keeping elephantsB. protecting elephants’ habita tsC. doing research on elephantsD. helping farmers impro ve their life15. What is the best title for the text?A. African elephants conservationB. Living with African ele phantsC. African elephants’ situationD. African elephants being endangered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。

now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense,a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea.Kwon Yong-seok created the“Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme.People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in60-square-foot(5.6-square-meter)cells(囚室).Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon,about58miles(93km)northeast of Seoul,“Prison Inside Me”came to life after Mr.Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for“healingreasons,”but his request was turned down.“I didn’t know how to stop working back then,”he said.“I felt like I was being swept away against my will,and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.”So,Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands,and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center.The construction was completed in June last year and cost about2billion won($19million).The facility includes28cells,furnished with only a toilet,a sink and a small table,where guests can spend time alone,thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods.Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall,where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr.Kwon calls the“inner prison”to find inner peace.According to the Wall Street Journal,hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it.A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me”costs150,000won($146).Mr.Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,”and imagined a longer stay for their guests,but,given that people weren’t able to take more time off,they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.Park Woo-sub,a guest at“Prison Inside Me,”said the experience helped him a lot.“This is my third time in prison.Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe,but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.24.Paragraph3mainly tells us_______________.A.where“Prison Inside Me”is locatedB.what people can do in“Prison Inside

experts may not call it lying,but they do agree that many animals,from birds to chimpanzees,behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Why?Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals.For example,a bird calle d the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young.When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest,the plover leads the predator away from the nest.How?It pretends to have a broken wing.The predator follows the“hurt”adult,leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird,the scrub jay,buries its food so it always has something to eat.Scrub ja ys are also thieves.They watch where others bury their food and steal it.But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them.So they go back later,unbury the food,and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work.How?They don’t make nests.Instead,they get into other birds’nests secretly.Then they lay their eggs and fly away.When the baby birds come out,their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees,or chimps,can also be sneaky.After a fight,the losing chimp will give its hand to the other.When the winning chimp puts out its hand,too,the chimps are friendly again.But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways,too.When chimps find food that they love,such as bananas,it is natural for them to cry out.Then other chimps come running.But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food.That way,other chimps don’t hear them,and they don’t need to share their food.As children,many of us learn the saying"You can't fool Mother Nature."But maybe you can' t trust her,either.28.A

Austen's most famous work,might be updated, 200years on.Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life,as would her characters(角色).Here's my own suggestion...It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men,however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism."My dear husband,"said his hopeful wife one day,"have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long,is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"Her dull and indifferent(漠不关心的)husband replied that he had not."But it is,it is,"she replied excitedly.Mr Dull-Husband made no reply."Don't you want to know her plans?"she cried with some impatience."Well,clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I'd better listen.""Well,my dear,the rumour(传言)is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England,though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me”.She will move in herself next month.""What is her name?""Bingley.""Is she married or single?""What a question!And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.""How so?How can it possibly affect them?""My dear love;those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.""Is that her point in settling here?Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.""Nonsense,my love,how little you've noticed the world has changed.She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I'm told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.""Me?No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks,after all.She may even offer you a job.""Oh,that's not likely.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it,I think I'll go along all the same."And Mrs Bennet went along.That was10years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.It would remain the case,of course,that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board,that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues,her bonus of a more "female"dimension(方面)and her lifespan(年限)among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs.Still,she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯经济论坛)—and might even have hobnobbed(攀谈)with influential figures.32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Austen was born200years ago.B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C.Austen's success lies in her wisdom.D.Austen's updated work gains popularity.33.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet____.A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB.felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC.was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD.had a great curiosity about Bingley34.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet,Bingley surely needed one of their boys to____.A.get married toB.work for herC.help her move inD.take over her store35.What does the writer intend to tell us?A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B.Women have to pay a high price for success.C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D.Sex discrimination(歧视)still exists nowadays.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。
