    Show Your Bones is the newest album from a musical group with an unusual name, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The energetic music made by these rock musicians is becoming very popular in America.

    A singer, a guitar player and a drummer make up the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their rock sound is creative, unusual, and full of personality. Their music is considered an example of “indie”(short for independent) rock. Indie musicians like to protect their independence and artistic freedom. One way to do this is to avoid using major record companies. The lead singer Karen O is known for wearing wild clothing and having wild hairstyles while performing. Sometimes she even pours beer over herself and the audience. Imagine Karen O dancing around on stage as you listen to her sing the song, Phenomena.

    The words in the songs on Show Your Bones are poetic and also a little strange. It is not always clear what the songs mean. In the song called The Sweets, Karen O describes colors and the motion of water. Also, she wonders about meeting someone again.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs started playing music together in New York City.

Now Karen O has moved to Los Angeles, California. She says that she likes flying between the two cities and the band is now “bi-coastal”. Karen O also said that this album was the most difficult to make. The band was trying to find a different sound from their earlier albums. Their work seems to have been worth the effort. Critics say Show Your Bones might be one of the best albums of the year.

Arnold followed Eugie down the slope, stealing, as his brother did, from one stock of wheat to another. Eugie paused before climbing through the wire fence that divided the Wheatfield from the marshy pasture （牧場(chǎng)）around the lake. They were screened from the ducks by the trees along the lake’s edge.

    “If  you hit your duck, you want me to go in after it?” Eugie said.

    “If you want.” Amold said.

Eugie lowered his eyelids, “You’d drown before you got it, the legs of yours are so weak.” he said contemptuously（輕蔑地）.

He shoveled the tub under the fence and, pressing down the center wire, climbed through into the pasture.

Arnold pressed down the bottom wire, pushed a leg through and leaned forward to bring the other leg after. His rifle caught on the wire and he pulled at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish, he lifted his face, uncovering it to an expected shower of derision （嘲弄）from his brother. But Eugie did not turn around. Instead, from his crouching position, he fell into his knees and then fell forward onto his face. The ducks rose up crying from the lake, cleared the mountain background and beat away northward across the pale sky.

Arnold squatted beside his brother. Eugie seemed to be climbing the earth, as if the earth ran up and down, and when he found he couldn’t scale it he lay still.

“Eugie?”

Then Arnold saw it, under the rolling hair at the back of the need — a slow rising of bight blood. It had an unpleasant movement, like that of a parasite（寄生蟲(chóng)）.

“Hey, Eugie, ” he said again. He was feeling the same discomfort he had felt when he had watched Eugie sleeping; his brother didn’t know that he was lying face down in the pasture.

Again he said, “Hey, Eugie,” an anxious push in his voice. But Eugie was as still as the morning about them.

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

       Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough．We get things wrong because we haven't listened carefully enough．We get things wrong because we haven't quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us．Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember—despite the benefit of notes—exactly what everyone said．But success depends on getting things right—and that means listening．

       Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively．It demands attention and concentration．It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification—it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong．However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you'll miss what the speaker is saying—probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical．And not having heard, you won't know you've missed anything until it's too late．

       The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished．We then stop listening．Even worse, this often addsrudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it．Good listeners don't interrupt, hi fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points．Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well．

       Above all, be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators．It's helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying．Equally important you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response．But don't be too clever．Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing．

51．Which is the best title for this passage?

       A．Don't be too clever          B．Be a good listener

       C．Don't miss anything critical         D．Think of the speaker

52．In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence"…what they are getting at…" means ____．

       A．what they imply                 B．what they like．

       C．what they attack     -            D．what they achieve

53．According to the passage, which of the following is the writer's opinion?

       A．If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional．

       B．Speakers won't continue talking when their listeners explain what they've heard．

       C．If you don't want to get things wrong, it's important to be a good listener．

       D．It's hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence．

54．What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?

       A．Don't accuse others of not listening while talking with them．

       B．Don't get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying．

       C．Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success．

       D．Think carefully of what you're going to say before the speaker finishes．
