(共4题；共34分)
22. （8分） Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!
Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.
"We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."
British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.
But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn't turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result.
Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!
How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.
The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper!
"It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."
（1）Whom did the three kids want to challenge?
A . Their chemistry teacher.
B . Their headmaster.
C . Robert Boyle
D . Thomas Edison
（2）From the text, a red cabbage is a kind of ____.
A . plant
B . animal
C . paper
D . liquid
（3）What is widely used as the acid-base indicator now?
A . red cabbage
B . litmus paper
C . any plant
D . any flower
（4）The story mainly tells us ____.
A . how to make litmus paper
B . about the three kids’ spirit
C . scientists were wrong
D . the kids are heroes
23. （8分） Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
While we're all born with SQ, most of us even don't know that we have it. Luckily, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
Find An Activity You Enjoy. It's important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?”But don't expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
（1）To enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.
A . stand loneliness and silence
B . make your life simpler and less busy
C . give up the daily things in your life
D . listen more to your whisper
（2）The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.
A . get your spirit relaxed
B . keep up your spirit
C . listen to your spirit
D . change your spirit
（3）What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?
A . People will lead to a greater good.
B . People will think about a problem in a different way.
C . People will expect answers through e-mails.
D . People will keep away from their busy life.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A . Advantages and disadvantages of SQ
B . The relationship between your SQ and you
C . What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
D . What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier
24. （10分） Scientists (科学家) think that many animals cannot see colours. The world is black and white to them. Scientists want to find out if (是否) dogs can see colours. When the scientists give the dogs food, they show them a certain colour every time. The dogs get ready to eat when they see this colour. The scientists then show the dogs another colour. Again the dogs get ready to eat. The colours are all the same to them.
Colours are not all the same to monkeys. For example, if we put food in a red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box to get food. If we put food in a blue box, the monkey won't go to it.
（1）Scientists show the dogs colours ____________.
A . to tell them to eat
B . to find out if they can see black and white things
C . for fun
D . to find out if they can see colours
（2）The dogs get ready to eat when they ____________.
A . hear different pieces of music
B . see the monkeys
C . see black things
D . see all the colours
（3）Colours are _____________.
A . all the same to monkeys
B . not all the same to dogs
C . different to dogs
D . not all the same to monkeys
（4）If we put food in a blue box and do this every day, a monkey will always go to ____________.
A . the red box to get food
B . the blue box and put food in it
C . the blue box to get food
D . the red box and put food in it
（5）Which of the following is TRUE?
A . Scientists find that dogs don't like colours.
B . Dogs like to hear different pieces of music.
C . Monkeys like the food in the box.
D . Monkeys will not go to the blue box if we don’t show them before.
25. （8分）根据短文理解选择正确答案。

C
If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍).
“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
（1）What does the underlined word enhance mean?
A . produce
B . provide
C . improve
D . impress
（2）From the last paragraph we can learn that .
A . you should follow your parents' words
B . you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test
C . good marks depend on listening to music and excising
D . exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests
（3）Which of the following statements is true?
A . Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease.
B . Exercise is used for people with head hurts.
C . Exercise causes no changes in health without music.
D . Music can help you relax and feel energetic.
（4）What might be the best title of the passage?
A . Exercise to Music
B . Music and study
C . Importance of Music
D . Studies on Exercise
