5．A chance meeting between two men who realized they had both been abused in the same Surrey children's care home has led to a campaign that has seen hundreds of former residents claiming they were also victims of physical，emotional and sexual abuse．
Music producer Raymond Stevenson，physically abused during his time at the Shirley Oaks home in the 70s，met a childhood friend last year who revealed he'd been abused at the institution．Within a few months，the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association （SOSA） was hundreds strong．
The south London production office，from where Stevenson promoted music stars like Jessie J，now looks more like a police incident room．A map on the wall includes details of statements from hundreds of former residents，suggesting physical and emotional abuse was routine at many of the houses on the 72-acre Shirley Oaks site．
"We have been in contact with over 300people and the stories we are getting are just terrible，"Stevenson says．"Every time we interview someone and hear about what happened to them，it brings tears to our eyes．Reliving some of the horrors they went through again hasn't been easy．"
There have been two major police investigations into abuse at children's homes in South London and three people including a swimming instructor，William Hook，have been condemned for offences relating to Shirley Oaks．
Another operation is currently on-going，but SOSA have lost faith in the authorities who they claim have covered-up the whole picture of abuse at Shirley Oaks．"We don't trust them and that's why we have decided to do this campaign ourselves，"Stevenson explains．
The Shirley Oaks campaigners are part of a wider phenomenona"survivor"activism that is changing the balance of power in relation to child abuse．Where once victims were ignored or silenced，now they are coming together，often through social media，forming support groups and building an increase of noise that the authorities are forced to acknowledge．
A couple of weeks ago，dozens of former Shirley Oaks residents crowded into a Lambeth council meetingthe authority which ran the home until its closure in the mid-1980s．Councillor after councillor spoke of their shame at what had been allowed to happen to children in their care．
Among the crowd was the award-winning author Alex Wheatle who has written about the abuse he suffered as a child at Shirley Oaks．"We have not come here，to go to war with the council，we have come here to gain your support，"Wheatle told the meeting．
The Shirley Oaks association is doing more than compiling evidence．It is using music to press its case．A song entitled"Don't Touch ItIt's Mine"includes personal testimony （證詞） from victims．"I was abused mentally，physically，emotionally and violently，"the track begins．"Of the original 16of us，12have killed themselves…"
"We're not going to be told lies anymore，"Stevenson explains．"We are not going to leave it in the hands of lawyers，politicians or council officials to tell us what happened to us．We want to discover it ourselves and we know music and dance and poetry are ways that can tell a greater story．"

58．Why was SOSA set up？B
A．To show sympathy for the abused children in society．
B．To reveal the abuse at a children's care home．
C．To find the living victims from a care home．
D．To aid those people abused at a young age．
59．The crime against children was not known to the public in time，becauseD．
A．the police refused to look into it
B．the case was ignored for absence of evidence
C．the situation of abuse was not serious
D．the victims were forced to keep secret
60．From the passage，we can tellA．
A．the former local authorities must have neglected their duty
B．twelve of the sixteen children were killed in Shirley Oaks
C．a(chǎn)ll the people committing offences in Shirley Oaks have been arrested

6．Most of us will be familiar with the traditional talent show set-up：thousands of hopefuls line up outside the audition （試音） room，wait for hours，go in and perform for a group of judges．Then these potential pop stars could be lucky and get through to the next round，or they might hear the command，"Sorry，it's a'no'from me"．But what do the judges actually bring to a talent show？
    Music talent show judges attract millions of viewers each week to their programs．As public figures，they play an important part in advertising campaigns for these programs．But they often receive high salaries and can be moody （情緒化的）．Are they really worth the expenses and difficulties that they can cause？One solution might be to replace them with computers．
    Can computers really match human judges？Scientist Dr．Nick Collins and his team at the University of Sussex think they can．Dr．Collins has been working on a project that involves programming three computerized judges that he says would be far more consistent in their judgment of musical performances．Employing a special programming language，Dr．Collins's digital judges can be trained up by"listening"to particular musical styles．After they have been listening for a while，the programming language allows these judges to spot the specific features of the music．It takes eight hours to train the electronic judges in this way．During this time，they analyze lots of information about each track （錄音） they listen to，including the voice quality of the music，the rhythm（節(jié)奏） and the way the tracks change over time．
    Collins even says that the judges also have pet hates or guilty pleasures and that he can't expect how they will turn out．He adds，"The judges'listening ability is not yet as good as a human ear，but they won't be as moody as some human reality TV show judges．"
    Maybe that's the problem with this electronic musical change．Real human judges on talent shows interest us with their personality，decisions and humorous words．Will a computer be able to do the same？

51．The setup of the traditional talent show is described in Paragraph 1 toD．
A．find out more potential pop star
B．show the popularity of the talent show
C．make people familiar with the talent show
D．bring up the topic of talent show judges
52．What is the key message conveyed in Paragraph 2？C
A．Music talent shows are very popular nowadays．
B．There are too many advertisements in talent show programs．
C．There are some problems with talent show judges．
D．Judges are very important in the talent show programs．
53．Which of the following best describes how Collins's computerized judges work？C
A．They follow the change of each track．
B．They assess the voice quality of specific music．
C．They discover the characteristics of the music after listening to it．
D．They imitate the specific features of different music styles．
54．How does Collins think about his computerized judges？D
A．They will be perfect for any talent show．
B．They can listen as well as human ears．
C．They will be welcomed by the public．
D．They can judge more fairly than human judges．
55．What's  the  writer's  opinion  about  replacing  real  human  judges  with computerized ones？A
A．Doubtful．
B．Interested．
C．Satisfied．
D．Optimistic．

7．Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways．Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust．Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions．The foods we eat-and when and how we eat them-are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural （農(nóng)村的） and urban areas within one country．
Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness．Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests．Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread．
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations．In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity （興旺） in the New Year．In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita．A coin is put into the cake，which signifies  success in the New Year for the person who receives it．
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role．In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving redcolored eggs to guests．In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity．
Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world．
29．According to the passage，sharing breadD．
A．indicates a lack of food
B．has its roots in birthday celebrations
C．is a custom unique to rural areas
D．can help to develop unity
30．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year？D

14．It was the summer of 1965．DeLuca，then 17，visited Peter Buck，a family friend．Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future．"I'm going to college，but I need a way to pay for it，"DeLuca recalls saying．"Buck said，‘You should open a sandwich shop．'"
That afternoon，they agreed to be partners．And they set a goal：to open 32 stores in ten years．After doing some research，Buck wrote a check for 1000．DeLucarentedastorefront（店面）inConnecticut，andwhentheycouldn'tcovertheirstart-upcosts，Buckkickedinanother1000．

But the partners'learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength．Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers．"It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary，but as a result，the suppliers got to know me very well，and the personal relationships established really helped out，"DeLuca says．
And having a goal was also important．"There are so many problems that can get you down．You just have to keep working toward your goal，"DeLuca adds．
