【題目】His talent and charm have made him the No.1Chinese classical artist in the world. And he played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.

Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras (管弦樂隊),making his first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.

Lang's charm and fondness make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, "The Lang Lang effect" drives 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.

Now in China, children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold-out tours across Chinese cities. But can China ever introduce its own music to the West? Lang is trying. His cooperation(合作) with the London Symphony Orchestra this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.

Behind the success , however, is a surprising story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition(抱負) and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He got his right hand hurt six years ago and had to rest. "That was the best month," he says.

【1】What is the main reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?

A. He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008.

B. He usually plays with the world's top orchestras.

C. He tries to introduce Chinese music to Western countries.

D. He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.

【2】Lang Lang is trying his best to ______ now.

A. introduce China's own music to the West

B. play sold-out tours across Chinese cities

C. encourage children to learn the piano

D. prepare for a performance of Dragon songs

【3】Which of the following about Lang Lang is true?

A. He didn't like music at all.

B. He had a good rest and enjoyed himself because he got his right hand hurt. .

C. He has had a great musical ambition since his childhood. .

D. He first appeared in the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

【4】From the last paragraph we can learn ______.

A. Lang didn't like playing the piano at all as a child

B. He was happy to practice the piano every day

C. His father's wish and expectations played an important role in his childhood

D. He hurt his hands six years ago

【2】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中But can China ever introduce its own music to the West? Lang is trying.可知朗朗在努力將中國自己的音樂介紹給西方,所以選A。

【3】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段末He got his right hand hurt six years ago and had to rest. "That was thebest month," he says可知六年前朗朗的右手受傷,他不得不休息,所以選B。

【題目】On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms. In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

During her time in the cave, Stefarua had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She'd had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁) .

How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests. She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read books and listened to music. She'd also learned French from tapes.

The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

【1】Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because_______.

A. she was asked to do research on mice

B. she wanted to experience loneliness

C. she was the subject of a study

D. she needed to record her life

【2】What is a cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?

A. Eating fewer meals.

B. Having more hours of sleep.

C. Lacking physical exercise.

D. Getting no natural light.

【3】Where does the text probably come from?

A. A novel. B. A news story.

C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide.

【題目】We’ve all done it at one point or another. You’re driving along to work or school when that familiar sound reaches your ear. You look down, reach into your pocket and begin to read, your steering wheel(駕駛盤) in one hand, your phone in the other. What can go wrong?

What do you think is the number one killer of teens in the U.S.? Drugs? Alcohol? Violence? The answer is “distracted driving(分心駕駛)”. According to a study, over 24 percent of all motor vehicle(車輛) crashes involve(涉及) cellphone use. What’s more, drivers who talk on a cellphone are four more times likely(有可能的) to crash.

When you’re a teenager, the risk of getting into an accident rise. According to the study, more than 3,000 teens die in car accident each year, with about another 450,000 teens being injured. Besides, one text message is equal to 0.08 alcohol level. In most states, that is considered drunk driving. When you’re a teen, it may seem that this weekend’s party is the most important thing going on in your life right now, but anyone would agree that being alive is more important.

So, how do you protect yourself from the dangers of distracted driving? Put your phone away. Put it silent or just turn it off completely while driving. If someone is trying to reach you, you can have a better conversation with them when you’re not doing 60mph down the freeway. If you don’t trust yourself not to use your phone, put it on the back seat.

You may get out with talking on the phone now, but there may be a day when you don’t. Not using your phone may be an inconvenience, but it’s better to be safe while driving.

A. To tell people about the wide use of cellphone.

B. To advise people to answer the phone while driving.

C. To introduce the topic of distracted driving.

D. To tell people how to be good drivers.

【2】 According to the study, when driving are four times more likely involved in car accident?

A. people who talk on a cellphone

B. people who quarrel with others

C. people who are drunk

D people who think about things

【3】 How can we protect ourselves from the dangers of distracted driving?

①Turn the phone off. ②Talk on the phone while driving at over 60mph on the freeway.

③Put the phone on silent. ④Put the phone on the back seat.

A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④

【4】 What is the main idea of the passage?
