A.On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City．If you have ever been to a Perlman concert，you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him．He was stricken with polio (小儿麻痹症) as a child，and so he has braces (支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches (双拐)．He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair．Then he sits down，slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs，tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward．Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin，nods to theconductor and proceeds to play．But this time，something went wrong．Just as he finished the first few bars (小节)，one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap (嘣断) --- it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do．We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage--to either find another violin or else find another string for this one．But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment，closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again．The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before．When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered．He smiled，wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quit us，and then he said in a quiet tone．“You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make wi th what you have left.’’21．By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means .A．it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three stringsB．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabledcC．it’s not easy for ltzhak Perlman to face such a large audienceD．it’s really great achievements for ltzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings 22．Itzhak Perlman when one of the strings of the violin broke．A．gave up playing B．didn’t know what to doC．went on playing the same piece of music D．went on playing a different piece 23．Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ．A．clever B．strong willed C．humorous D．quite skilledBGRANDMOTHER, Michelle Riotton, a 78 old, survived after falling down a mountain valley. She set off for a walk alone dressed only in a light jacket and trousers. "I slipped into a valley!" said Mrs. Riotton, who said the fall happened in a deep forest close to her home village.It was warm and sunny when the accident happened, but temperatures dropped to very low when night fell, and it rained. "I wasn’t afraid," said Mrs Riotton. "But I was worried that my children and grandchildren would become too worried about me." Mrs Riotton said she covered herself in leaves when feeling cold, taking very small bites of two biscuits which she had in her pocket and drinking rainwater which fell down her face.She spent six nights before she was found on Saturday. She was lying at the bottom of the valley, which was less than a mile from her home. The search had once been stopped, but Patrice Fossard, one of her neighbors, insisted that the search continue. "There was no way we could give up her, even if deep inside we felt we had little hope of finding her alive," said Mr Fossard. "It was a miracle that Michele was finally found."Mrs Riotton said she would be taking life easier from now on. "Enough is enough!" she said. "No more forests--I don’t want to visit one again."A mountain policeman said walking alone in the mountain was not recommended and that Mrs Riotton should have carried a mobile phone with her. "The mountains are particularly dangerous at this time of year as sunny afternoons can quickly change into cold, wet and stormy evenings," he said. "Anybody walking into the mountains should carry safety equipment and be prepared for any kind of emergency."24. When Michelle Riotton was in the valley, she _________.A. was hurt too badly to moveB. missed her home very muchC. didn’t feel afraidD. felt very hungry25. Michelle Riotton covered herself with leaves to __________.A. keep warm during her sufferingB. prevent the harmful animalsC. make herself noticed by othersD. avoid getting wet in the rain26. Michelle Riotton got lost on _________.A. SundayB. SaturdayC. WednesdayD. Monday27. According to the mountain policeman, _________.A. the mountains in the morning are very dangerousB. one had better not walk in the mountains aloneC. people should carry safety equipment every dayD. people wouldn’t be safe without a mobile phoneCSleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows. A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was "light enough to see across" at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as: Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Prof Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC: "In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are encouraging enough to guarantee further scientific investigation."The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light changes mood, physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24-hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.Prof Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC: "People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom. I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker." Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said. "Overall this study points to the importance of darkness," he concluded.28. The passage mainly tells us_________.A. bright bedrooms link to obesityB. dark bedrooms link to obesityC. people should turn off lightsD. people should buy thicker curtains29. What does the underlined word “disrupt”(Para.4) mean?A. stopB. disturbC. improveD. recover30. What might Paragraph 4 be used for?A. One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.B. One possible explanation on disrupting mood.C. One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.D. One possible explanation on artificial light.31. What’s Prof Derk-Jan Dijk’s attitude towards the dark room?A. Unclear.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Favorable.DMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of t hem tend to go to the park or the river.But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived（剥夺）. I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（多动症）. Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness. 32．According to the author, people enjoy __________ to seek nature.A．jogging on the street B．sitting in the gardenC．shopping in the supermarket D．running in the gym33．From the second paragraph, we can see that __________.A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach natureB．climbing trees will certainly do good to the childrenC．children probably spend less time in nature nowadaysD．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction34．In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?A．Children with ADHD can be cured.B．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people’s life.C．Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.D．Children’s performance at school is greatly improved.35．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Access to nature improves our life. B．Nature treats children with ADHDC．Getting close to nature reduces crime.D．Man can’t live without natural areas.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
