She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play ina band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really geton their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannottravel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next –door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''41. Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play.B. Because she didn't want to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have a large house.D. Because she liked to play in strange places.42. Brenda started to give concerts _______ .A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her in the space bubble43. Brenda became famous because _______ .A. she made a space suitB. she became a real musical astronautC. she played drums in her space bubbleD. she played drums in a band44. Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?A. kind, hardworking and cleverB. brave, kind and hardworkingC. lovely, brave and kindD. nervous, kind and clever45. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that: " _______".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherBWhen we say older people shrink, we don't mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket! We just mean that it's common for older people to become a little shorter over time. This kind of shrinking can't be reversed, although people can slow or stop this process. But why does shrinking happen at all?Because of gravity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the spine (脊骨), get compressed（压缩）, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it's not being replaced. Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured.Older people —especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with — are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compression fractures. These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over (驼背).Did you know that every day you shrink a little, too? You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. That's because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don't worry, though. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again!Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse. Want to do something right now to build strong bones? I believe what I will say will help you.46. Which of the following statements is true?A. For shrinking, people can do nothing about it.B. If someone is injured, he will become shorter.C. Women have smaller and lighter bones than men.D. We aren't as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning.47. What should we do if we don't want to shrink faster?A. We should try to reduce gravity.B. We should be careful not to be hurt by others.C. We should sleep as long as possible.D. We should keep away from smoking and drinking alcohol.48. What is the topic of the passage?A. How can we stop shrinking?B. Why do we shrink?C. Some tips on how to keep tall.D. How to live a healthy life.49. About osteoporosis we know that _______.A. gravity is one of the causes of osteoporosisB. once our bone is broken down, osteoporosis will occurC. women are more likely to develop osteoporosisD. if we develop osteoporosiss, we are more likely to be shorter50. What will the author talk about in the paragraph to be followed?A. Tell us how to grow taller.B. Tell us how to become healthier.C. Tell us how to avoid being shrinking.D. Tell us what to do to have strong bones.CGoing on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us. But now a pair of 'social X-Ray' glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking—andwhen you should stop talking.The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person's facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative, yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab.They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an 'extra sense' that they are bored or losing interest.The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism（孤独症）who have much difficulty interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications. It works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the user's body. The camera monitors how long and how often 24 'feature points' appear on the subject's faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team.This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.51. The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of usB. scientists are showing more and more concern to people suffering from autismC. the glasses will be more and more popularD. the scientists are working on a new type of glasses to help people going ona date52. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The glasses were initially intended for helping people going on a date.B. The glasses are widely used and have achieved great success.C. The built-in camera in the glasses is of great importance.D. People wearing the glasses are sure to have a good date.53. The underlined word ''interacting'' in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _______ .A. communicatingB. reactingC. affectingD. acting54. Which is right according to Paragraph 2 ?A. Red = negative yellow = neutral green = positiveB. Red = positive yellow = neutral green = negativeC. Red = neutral yellow = positive green = negativeD. Red = negative yellow = positive green = neutral55. The passage is probably from _______ .A. a guide bookB. an autobiography bookC. a leafletD. a scientific reportDAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement."This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang's student clients (客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago."According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans."I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China," she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.56. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.D. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.57. Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A. The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.D. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.58. After the new regulations are passed, _______ .A. more students will come to Australia to workB. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.C. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas studentsD. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in Australia59. How much can Li's parents save according to the new regulations?A. 550,000 yuanB. 140,000 yuanC. 410,000 yuanD. 86,850 yuan60. Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?A. The working experience abroad will strengthen their competitiveness.B. They can earn more money in Australia.C. Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.D. They have to do so according to the new regulations.EThe truth about lying61.________________________________________________Can you imagine a whole day without telling lies? “Yes, of course,” most people would answer, but then they’ve probably forgotten all those little lies that are said so easily-“This is delicious.” “You look lovely in that shirt.” “I’d love to come with you.” etc. Lying is a way of making life run more smoothly.62._______________________________________________We are told not to lie from the moment we learn how to do it. According to psychologist Richard Wiseman, this is at the age of about four when children realize they can deceive people. We are not born liars.63.______________________________________________In childhood, the line between imagination and lying is often not clear. Children are praised for creative imagination but generally criticized for hiding the truth.64.______________________________________________As adults we have definite ideas about which kind of lies are OK and which are not. Very often the reason for the lie is the important thing in accepting for rejecting the lie.65.______________________________________________Generally speaking , there are three types of lies, and liars. The first sort of liar wants to please people, the second wants to protect him –or herself, the third sort doesn’t care about other people and lies to get what he or she wants. Questions61-65: Choose from the sentences A-F the one which best summarises each paragraph (61-65) of the passage. There is one extra sentence which you don’t need to use.A.Adults have their own rules about what is acceptable.B.Lying can be put into different categories.C.How to hear lies is your responsibility.D.Adults don’t always make clear what children should do.E.Most people lie regularly for social reasons.F.As soon as it’s learnt,it’s forbidden.第二卷（非选择题共60分）请把答案写在答题纸上。
